Former DAP Vice-Chairman call public support to PM's leadership

Tunku Abdul Aziz

Former DAP Vice-Chairman, Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Ibrahim has made an impassioned call to the people to support the leadership of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Give Najib the chance and time to see his transformation programmes currently being implemented, come into fruition, he said.

Tunku Abdul Aziz who quit the party on Monday to defend his stand against holding the Bersih 3.0 demonstration on April 28, repeated his view that the transformation programmes were good for the country.

The man to avoid according to Dr. M

Dr Mahathir said the people should be careful of opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as he was regarded as the choice leader by the United States of America.

“Since the time I was prime minister, he has been regarded by the US as the Malaysian PM and he himself had invited US congressmen here,” he said, adding that there were also foreign funds coming in, in pursuit of their agenda.

“I know that several NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in this country also receive funding from certain bodies in the US and other countries. They give money to assist to achieve their agenda, not ours.

“This happens since during my time and these NGOs have been made used off I also believe that certain political parties also receive such funding,” he said.

He advised the people to be very careful and to choose leaders who could prevent the country from being controlled and colonised again.

No objections, but do it peacefully. Unless..

Datuk Seri Najib

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the government has no objections to demonstrations as long they did not transgress the country’s laws.

He said the Barisan Nasional (BN) government practiced open democracy and everyone’s rights was protected under existing laws.

“We have no objections if you want to hold a peaceful demonstration, we practice open democracy, everyone has rights, including the opposition, but the country’s laws must be respected.

“But do it peacefully, like civilized people, not go wild and jump around as though you have lost your senses,” he said at an “Evening with the Prime Minister” event at Dataran Rompin which was attended by some 10,000 despite heavy rain, here yesterday.

 Najib said he was disappointed that some of the participants did not only not respect the laws, but also refused to heed police’s orders and even attacked policemen.

He said this was aimed at tarnishing the image of the police and draw the attention of the international media to claim that Malaysian police were brutal.

“We told them to hold the rally in a stadium, but they wanted to bring the participants to the streets.

“Maybe they were unhappy that if held in the stadium, foreign media like Al-Jazeera, CNN and BBC would not be interested,” he said.

Beware Of The 'Secede' Word

Secede means to withdraw formally from an alliance, federation, or association, as from a political union, etc. In Latin sēcēdere means to withdraw. 

It is a heavy word to be accepted when it is put in Malaysian Agreement 1963 context but what if.. what if the word is simply said without thinking over its unimaginably disastrous consequence towards current political scenario especially in Sabah or Sarawak? 

Maybe the attention is to bring forward the idea for everybody to beware of the future outcome i.e., that there could be a silent movement to bring Sabah or Sarawak out of Malaysia by spreading the idea softly through the free media?  

For Sabah to pull out from Malaysia is something out of this world. One must know how to differentiate between 'local struggle for better livelihood' and 'evil struggle to destroy their future'. But this 'Supahiro' simply did something that might spark fire of hatred among each other that would certainly jeopardize nationhood harmony and unity. What ever the purpose it may be, just keep your 'pantatstic' idea to yourself! 

You ask your reader to look at Singapore, and if Caesar said 'Veni' 'Vidi' 'Vici' which means I came.. I saw.. I Conquered.., for Singapore I said: I came.. I saw.. I'm blessed (for being Malaysian who stays in Sabah).. LOL.

A pity Singaporean think his country is a bad place to stay. He suggested his fellow Singaporean to leave the country for good if eventuality permits. Do you want to know what the Singaporean think of his country, you might want to read this.

PR strategy not to dissolve state assemblies in four states

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

"[...] If all the state legislative assemblies in the four states under the PR are not dissolved, we will see the election being confined only to the states under BN rule." said former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

He said this could be one of the strategies of the opposition pact to focus its attention and strength to the states under Barisan Nasional (BN) rule.

“As such, they (PR) already have four states under their rule. They will concentrate on the other states to expand their domination." he added.

“However, if the general election is held too close to the expiry of the five-year mandate, they (PR) will have no choice (but to dissolve the state assemblies),” he proposed on the best option for the government to respond.

Dr Mahathir said the BN government did not have to be hasty in holding the general election because the current mandate only expired in March 2013.

“We still have time." he said

“Preparations need to be made before the general election. We need to carry out tests and research to find out public opinion on the efforts made by the government." he stressed.

“The people will wait. The promises made probably will not be fulfilled. If they don’t walk the talk, it’s difficult. So, better walk the talk,” he said.

Chin Su Phin

President of the Federation of Hainan Association Sabah and Federal Territory of Labuan, John Lim Yu Sin, has invited Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Deputy President Senator Datuk Chin Su Phin to visit the Mazu temple in Meizhou, China, to better understand Mazu culture.

Lim would be going to Meizhou to visit the temple where the Mazu temple and statue in Pantai Bak-Bak Kudat originated from. 

He said even though Chin is not a Mazu believer, he was extending the sincere invitation for him to have a better understanding of the Mazu culture caring spirit. 

Statue of Mazu

Lim believed that if Chin were to join the trip, Chin would have a better and deeper understanding about Mazu culture that would, in turn, make him release better press statements when it comes to Mazu related issues. 

The trip takes place before the association's ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of Mazu statue and temple in Kudat. 

"If Chin has a better understanding of Mazu culture, it's not only a blessing for us but the whole Chinese community in the Sabah," said Lim.

Cubaan memurtadkan umat Islam: "Kerajaan tidak perlu tergesa-gesa.." - Dr. M
