KUALA LUMPUR: If the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) uses its huge financial reserves to strengthen its assets, it will be a "wise and very good" move by the land development and rehabilitation agency, says Malaysia Investors' Association (MIA) president PHS Lim. "The reserves can come down if it is being spent on expansion. If they acquire new assets, then we must understand their business sense and cannot be too criticial of them. "Judging from past performance, they have done creditable things for Malaysia," he said, Lim said Felda's whopping RM15.37 billion assets as at 2009 was very sizeable as the agency owned the world's largest oil palm plantations. "If the reserves are used to enhance the assets, it's a good move as the lifespan of oil palm trees is very long, up to 20 years. An oil palm tree can grow up to 10 to 15 years before the yield declines," he said. For the good of the industry, Lim said the people shou

A Merril Lynchs inform , which you picked up during MI site, shows which by year 2030, Malaysia would still be comparatively immature as well as poor. The per capita income may have risen, though if you take real acceleration into consideration, it would not have meant much. We will still remain in a center income trap, whilst a 4 small dragons, Singapore, Hong kOng, Taiwan, as well as Korea would have gone so distant forward which they will overtake UK as well as Australia. Looking during a care quality you have in BN as well as PKR(which will be a dominant celebration if PR captures a Federal seat), you have doubts tht Malaysia can move divided from a corrupt as well as clientele genius which is so prevalent which it has already turn a culture. you have regularly suspicion which a 2 celebration system would be good to bring about drastic changes , with maybe a small third force to play check as well as balance, though looking during a scenario, as well as a quality of leadership, i

This, by far, has been a noisiest universe cup, bar none. A single vuvuzela, reportedly, has an average receptive to advice vigour of 127 dB. If which doesnt meant many to you, a receptive to advice a lawnmower makes is around 90 dB.

Now, greaten which by 30,000 Walskis guesstimation of a average assemblage as good as we can really good suppose a magnitude of noise were articulate about.

THIS Sunday, the United States will commemorate the 234th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence from Britain.

I grew up in Kampung Baru, i am essentially a product of a initial Malay farming -urban migration. we went to Princess Road propagandize and it is right away called Sekolah Melayu Raja Muda. I remember. My residence at Jalan Watson being used as a half way residence for my house to stay upon until they got a job. From Standard One to Standard Five we was afterwards sent to a special malay class to Batu road school. From there to Maxwell propagandize for my secondary propagandize education. Kampung Baru will always have a special place we my heart. i think it contingency sojourn as a Malay encampment and we do not see how a government led by Umno cannot allot special account to rise this historical village. To me this encampment has nothing to do with any quota or with 60/40 or 70/30 equation. Kampung Baru contingency sojourn a Malay village! Letter & Opinion From Joe Public

"Anwar Ibrahim = ekonomi Khalid Ibrahim = Pentadbiran Azmin Ali = Politik "1. Perlantikan YB Azmin Ali sebagai Pengerusi Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) negeri Selangor tidak akan menyelesaikan isu pergolakan politik di Selangor. Sebaliknya ia hanya memburukkan keadaan lagi. 2. Hari ini Selangor mempunyai tiga nahkoda yang berlainan matlamat dan hala tuju. Ekonomi dikawal oleh datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Pentadbiran dikawal oleh Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim dan Politik ditentukan oleh Yb Azmin Ali. Nahkoda Ekonomi 3. Ia bermula dengan perlantikan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sebagai Penasihat Ekonomi Negeri Selangor. Perlantikan ini memberi implikasi yang serius terhadap keupayaan Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim merancang pembangunan ekonomi negeri. 4. Jika sebelum ini ada sinis apabila kami, pembangkang Selangor, mengkritik prestasi Khalid yang gagal membangunkan di negeri, perlantikan Anwar jelas menunjukkan bahawa PKR sendiri mengakui kegagalan Khalid. Jika tidak apa perlu Anwar yang begitu sibuk

Securities Commission (SC) done a press recover to repudiate allegations by reporters, editors as well as NUJ. It is a sheer lie. Rocky described an ordeal Dalila Abu Bakar had to bear yesterday. Taken from his blog below: Dalila Abu Bakar told me a Securities Commission questioning officer longed for hto subject her to a physique search. They longed for her handphone as well as refused to believe her when she pronounced she had left it during home. The IO brought into a room a lady officer by a name of Mastura, who is physically ok to pat down Big Dog, if necessary, of so you imagine. The physique poke was called off after Dalila told them to go upon a have her day. "I asked her what if you had my phone in my undies, as well as she pronounced she will come as well as get it from me. That's when you mislaid it. you told her if she comes near me, I'll chuck a chair during her".My blood boils ... I suggest which a press discussion is organized as well as have all a inv

Is Mahathir the chief warlord? PENANG: An Umno leader has called on the party to purge itself of warlords and little Napoleons and thereby transform itself into a more effective organisation. These individuals could cause “untold damage” to the party if its leaders ignored the threat they posed, said Senator Musa Sheikh Fadzir, Penang Umno’s information chief Without giving specific examples, he said these “self-interested individuals” would pit local leaders against each other to cause discord at the grassroots, using their close contact with national leaders to blind the latter to the reality on the ground. Musa was speaking at a press conference following the opening of the Bukit Mertajam Umno delegates conference. He declined to name the warlords and little Napoleons or say how many there were in Penang or elsewhere. He said Umno should have learnt from its recent electoral defeats that it could not afford to have these politicians wielding their influence in the party. "Such

By G Krishnan COMMENT Khairy Jamaluddin has recently drawn considerable attention (not to mention some approval in some quarters) by presumably sticking his neck out in speaking against Perkasa and Ibrahim Ali. Touting himself as a ‘reformist’ and a ‘Malay liberal’, he has seemingly set himself apart from Ibrahim, that ultra-Malay nationalist mouthpiece. This tension has evidently set the two on a collision course. Some might even say it has helped Khairy—and some factions within Umno—to patch up the credibility holes through which the support of younger voters are disappearing. Whilst I don’t deny that there is some clear underlying political agenda in the Umno Youth leader’s attempts to accentuate the apparent schism between himself and the thrust of what Ibrahim Ali embodies, I find it amusing that Khairy and his ilk within Umno are invoking the label of ‘Malay liberal’ to distinguish themselves from the ultra-Malay chauvinists. A Malay liberal? Now there’s an oxymoron if I ever he

Siapa tahu baca politik Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim akan faham mesej tersirat beliau kepada Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim yang digugurkan jawatan Pengerusi PKR Selangor petang Ahad. Ia tidak lain tidak bukan proses pembersihan Khalid dari parti itu sama seperti yang dilakukan Anwar terhadap bekas Ahli Parlimen PKR Bayan baru,Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohd Hashim yang mengkritik kepimpinan Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, Lim Guan Eng. Cuma dalam kes Khalid, beliau berdepan dengan Azmin Ali panglima perang Anwar paling kanan dan paling lama dalam PKR. Akibatnya, Khalid kena serah jawatan pengerusi PKR Selangor pada Azmin. Macam mana Khalid tanpa kuasa politik yang jadi platform penting menggerakkan tugasnya sebagai Menteri Besar? Sebab itulah, Ahli Parlimen Bebas Kulim Bandar Bharu, Zulkifli Noordin yang tahu cara politik Anwar menasihati Khalid, supaya sedar bahawa beliau kini sudah jadi liabiliti kepada Ketua Umum itu dan PKR. Ini isyarat jelas pada Khalid. dia dah jadi liabiliti. Siapa baca politik Anwa

This announcement appeared in page 3 of The New Straits Times yesterday. It is advertising Sime Darby's Lecture Series upon Jul 6th featuring Jonathon Porrit, some Mat Salleh wiseguy entrance to speak about tolerable development. There is no disbelief lectures similar to this is beneficial though which is not the emanate during stake. Such module sponsored as well as organised by the house is considered prestigous as well as great image building. For Sime Darby, it fit in nicely with their elegant blueblood mindset of the association peaking in the corporate lifecycle. But which is if we can afford it. Are they not shocked by the recent announcement of RM1.3 billion detriment by Sime Darby? Pardon the pun, though because the concern upon tolerable growth when Sime Darby might not be the tolerable association if the Board of Directors aren't wakeful of vital price overruns occuring in two years. Something is wrong with Tun Musa Hitam. He should renounce as well as we am quite w

KUALA LUMPUR: Allegations that Malaysia sold away its railway land in Tanjung Pagar to Singapore are not true, the Dewan Rakyat was told today. Deputy Foreign Minister Richard Riot Jaem said KTM Bhd's (KTMB) land there was leased to the Federated Malay States by the Straits Settlement government for the purpose of rail services on Oct 25, 1918. "The Singapore Railway land leased was 434.26 acres (173.7 hectare).

He also said that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak was scheduled to make a working visit to Singapore within the next t
