SANDAKAN - Campaigning on the exclusiveness of Sabah is inappropriate, said MCA party president Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek. He said that the campaigning method was wrong as Sabah had enjoyed the same amount of respect as any other state since the formation of Malaysia. “To say that Sabahans have no access to education opportunities or positions in the Government is wrong. “We have four ministers and five deputy ministers from Sabah in the Cabinet. “The speaker and deputy speaker are also from Sabah. That shows the amount of respect the federal government has for Sabahans,” said Chua after visiting the Tanah Merah market in the Batu Sapi constituency. He was accompanied by MCA Youth chief Datuk Wee Ka Siong on the by-election campaign trail in support of Barisan Nasional candidate Datin Linda TsenThau Lin. “To become a high-income nation by 2020, we need the cooperation of every state, including Sabah,” said Chua, adding that the politics of integration, inclusiveness and devel...

by Terence Netto @www.malaysiakini.com COMMENT Anniversaries are not what they are cracked up to be for reason of the phenomenon of ‘historical body-snatching’. Whenever some anniversary occurs, there is a scramble to appropriate the occasion for the benefit of some contemporary cause or the glorification of some contemporary leader. This can introduce much confusion into present-day political discussion. Fortunately, no appropriation or confusion occurred when one anniversary came by 10 days ago simply because there was no public marking of it. It passed without fanfare, which was in a way revealing of the person to whom the anniversary occurred. This was the 20th anniversary in the office of Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Aziz Nik Mat, the PAS spiritual leader. Twenty years is a long time for someone to be in charge of a political office, though not by BN standards. Last year S Samy Vellu completed 30 years as head of MIC and next March, Taib Mahmud will mark 3...

MCA women leaders with Heng in yellow GUA MUSANG — MCA’s Datuk Heng Seai Kie played down the alleged assault on Soh Cher Hai the brother-in-law to the late Teoh Beng Hock, saying today that the case should not be brought to the Galas by-election campaign. The women, family and community development deputy minister said the group who was lobbying for her support for the formation of a royal commission to investigate Teoh’s death should have arranged to meet her in Kuala Lumpur. “I welcome them to see me any time in my office in KL, but not necessary here in Galas, during by-election,” said Heng in response to allegation that she had ignored the group. “Wait until they explain to me. I have not seen them and read the document,” she said when asked if she was willing to support the group’s demand. Heng claimed that the local MCA leadership had tried to arrange a meeting with the group today, but the invitation was turned down. Soh had arrived in Gua Musang yesterday with Teo...

from Wengernomics by Wenger J Khairy Updates from the middle lap in the campaign for the 2 by elections. In Sabah, Yong Teck Lee has the BN campaign in panic mode. He is using the same talking points brought up by Tun Dr Mahathir, i.e. the Block L & M issue, which is beginning to resonate with the population. This is not the first time, Mahathir has provided ample ammunition to the Opposition in attacking the Government. In fact, leading up to the 12th General Election, Dr. Mahathir was practically the Number 2 draw in the Opposition camp, after Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim. (But now he says he supports Government.) The second issue is the penetration of the Internet into the rural hinterland in Sabah. The Sabah people are beginning to be up to date on Peninsular issues and consume some of the pro UMNO bloggers commentary, which is proving to be to BN's detriment. But I have understood that the situation may change shortly. The BN machinery is beginning to wake up to t...

Oleh Kazman Kamal KUALA LUMPUR 30 Okt. – Ketua Pergerakan Pemuda UMNO Malaysia, Khairy Jamaluddin berkata peratusan yang rendah pada hari pertama pemilihan pucuk pimpinan PKR semalam membuktikan parti itu mengalami krisis kepercayaan yang serius. Menurut beliau dengan kehadiran hanya 15 hingga 20 peratus sahaja ahli keluar mengundi pada hari pertama itu jelas menunjukkan bukan hanya rakyat yang hilang keyakinan terhadap PKR tetapi ahlinya sendiri tidak lagi percaya terhadap perjuangan parti itu. “Peratusan itu terlalu kecil sedangkan PKR berbangga dengan sistem demokrasinya yang memberi hak mengundi kepada setiap ahli. "Tapi apa guna sistem 'satu ahli, satu undi' jika majoriti ahli tidak keluar mengundi? Ini jelas membuktikan bukan hanya rakyat yang hilang keyakinan terhadap PKR, malah ahli mereka sendiri juga tidak yakin dan percaya dengan perjuangan parti itu. "Sekiranya bagi jawatan tertinggi parti hanya 20 peratus keluar mengundi, maka ini isyarat bahawa majori...

Oleh S.A Najmuddin GUA MUSANG 31 Okt. – Jika terbukti Pas membuat pembayaran RM250 kepada pengundi luar untuk pulang mengundi pada Pilihan Raya Kecil DUN Galas 4 November ini, Pemuda BN akan buat laporan kepada SPR dan SPRM agar mengambil tindakan segera terhadap Pas, tegas Ketua Pemuda UMNO Gua Musang, Bazlan Baharuddin. “SPR telah buat kenyataan bahawa tindakan dan cadangan mereka ini merupakan perbuatan sogokan dan menyalahi undang-undang di bawah Seksyen 10 Akta Kesalahan Pilihan Raya 1954. Pemberian wang berkenaan boleh disifatkan sebagai pemberian sogokan bagi tujuan membeli undi,” ujarnya ketika ditemui berkempen bersama calon BN, Ab Aziz Yusoff pagi tadi. Dalam masa yang sama, Bazlan melihat ini merupakan tindakan terdesak pihak Pas yang cuba untuk mempertahankan kerusi Galas, dan hilangnya keyakinan penduduk dan masyarakat yang tinggal di Galas terhadap Pas. “Mereka perlu mempertahankan kerusi Galas, namun mereka sudah tidak yakin lagi dengan sokongan masyarakat Galas yang...

Oleh S.A Najmuddin GUA MUSANG, 31 Okt – Nampaknya status calon Pas, Dr Zulkifli Mohamed terus menjadi perbualan bukan sahaja di kalangan blogger malah masyarakat setempat. Kisah beliau pernah ditangkap khalwat masih lagi menjadi misteri apatah lagi cerita mengenai perkahwinannya yang banyak menimbulkan tanda tanya. Memang benar, isteri beliau sekarang adalah Zainab Binti Jalar. Sebelum berkahwin dengan Dr Zulkifli, Zainab adalah ibu tunggal yang mempunyai seorang anak bernama Nuramni Qistina hasil perkahwinannya dengan seorang mualaf bernama Abdul Basir Abdullah. Perkahwinan Dr Zulkifli dengan Zainab berlangsung dalam satu majlis kecil saja melibatkan keluarga terdekat. Walaupun Dr Zulkifli adalah antara pemimpin tertinggi Pas di kawasan Gua Musang namun Dr Zulkifli memilih untuk mengadakan perkahwinan dengan hanya menjemput saudara terdekat sahaja. Menurut beberapa blog hari ini mengatakan perkahwinan itu diadakan kerana menutup kes khalwat.Lebih menjadi persoalan benarkah Dr Zul...

from PISAU.NET by pisau Artikel ini agak panjang diharap pembaca dapat membaca sampai habis untuk mengetahui cerita sebenar disebalik pembohongan besar oleh 2 orang tokoh didalam PAS. Alhamdulilah apabila rakan blogger RBF menyiarkan kembali ucapan Tun Hussin yang dipetik dari blog Pemuda Umno Jasin. Kita semua harus tahu mengapa dan kenapa berlakunya perpecahan kerajaan BN dan PAS sebelum ini. Ramai dimomokkan dengan pembohongan dan fitnah oleh seorang tua yang di kononnya digelar sebagai keramat hidup atau lebih mesra sebagai wali selipar di kalangan penyokong tegar khawarij dan seorang lagi yang mengeluarkan amanat yang telah mengkafirkan saudara seagamanya. Nik Aziz tidak bercakap benar,malah terlalu banyak menabur dan mempengaruhi dengan penuh kebencian dan menyebabkan terlalu ramai orang percaya dan marahkan UMNO. Orang yang marah selalunya tidak mampu berfikir secara rasional,adalah tidak mengejutkan apabila totok PAS yang ditanam sifat kebencian dan amarah dida...

As soon as you get in to a Kelantan limit over kampung Merapoh in Kuala Lipis, a sights have been assaulted by waves of PAS banners as good as flags. The Kampung nearest a Pahang limit here is Kampung Mentara is patently a PAS stronghold. We immediately feel, judging from a volume of flags as good as banners, which this is PAS territory. I had to palliate my friends who have been travelling with me. They have been in a habit of to a UMNO/BN way of handling by elections. This means, they have been some-more during palliate with a common overwhelming firepower kick-ass approach. They cite to see waves of party workers all over a country concentration upon a tiny locale like Gua Musang. Then you would be assaulted by a sight of UMNO workers in vests, with walky-talkies as good as alternative state of a art communications gadgetry, crisscrossing a turf with 4-wheel vehicles, a puteri UMNO troopers you do their rounds. It would be a boisterous event as good as intimidating during times. Peo...
