George Town, 28 Feb - Seorang lelaki bersenjatakan dua bilah parang melarikan RM11,000 dari sebuah bank di pasar raya besar Tesco di Gelugor, di sini dalam tempoh kurang 15 minit hari ini. Ketua Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Pulau Pinang SAC Mazlan Kesah berkata pada kejadian pukul 12.56 tengah hari itu, suspek bertopeng serta mem akai topi meluru masuk ke dalam bank itu dan mengacukan senjatanya ke arah pengawal keselamatan yang berada di pintu masuk. "Lelaki berusia 20-an itu kemudiannya melempar beg kosong ke kaunter bank dan memaksa juruwang memasukkan wang tunai kira-kira RM11,000 ke dalam begnya sebelum melarikan diri," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di lokasi kejadian. Beliau berkata semasa kejadian terdapat tiga pelanggan dan tiga pekerja bank sedang berurusan di bank berkenaan. Mazlan berkata polis sedang meneliti kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) yang ada di sekitar pasar raya itu bagi menyiasat beberapa aspek termasuk mengenai arah suspek itu memasuki bank dan ken...

The political tsunami which hit Malaysia during 2008 GE12 did give a huge impact to BN where for the first time, it lost five of its ruling states - Perak, Selangor, Kelantan, Kedah and Selangor. BN even lost two-thirds of its majority while BN's popular votes was only around 51% from all voters who voted. Looking back at it, most BN leaders were shocked as it was very hard to believe, proving that the claim saying that the EC is in favor of BN, is wrong. We are lucky that the tsunami did not break BN leaders. Instead of giving up, they tried to work on the mistakes they had done. Now, the scenario has been changed especially since leadership was changed from Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak. Transformation was made and most mistakes are fixed. From there, it is not surprising when most political watchdogs and economists from inside and outside of Malaysia expected that this coming GE13 would go back to BN including getting the chance of winning...

Tika ini ramai ahli dan penyokong PAS yang belum kebas dari demam terkejut dan masih lagi dalam kebingungan gara-gara pendirian rasmi PR yang telah muktamad menggugurkan agenda perlaksanaan hukum hudud dari Manifesto PR. Tambah mengeruhkan keadaan bila mana Manifesto PR tanpa agenda hudud itu turut disepakati dan diperakui oleh Presiden PAS, Abdul Hadi Awang. Lebih parah lagi, tiga hari selepas Manifesto PR bertemakan "Pakatan Harapan Rakyat" dilancarkan dalam Konvensyen Pakatan Rakyat Ke-4 di SACC Shah Alam, Selangor pada 25 Februari 2013 lepas, tak semena-mena Ketua Umum PKR, Anwar Ibrahim tampil menyalahkan Hadi Awang berhubung kontroversi isu kalimah Allah. Ketua Umum PKR itu mendakwa ketetapan bersama PR pada 8 Januari 2013 lalu untuk membenarkan kalimah Allah s.w.t diguna pakai oleh orang bukan Islam termasuklah untuk kegunaan kitab Bible versi Bahasa Melayu hanya dimuktamadkan selepas mendapat penerangan dan persetujuan Presiden PAS. Maksudnya, PR tidak akan mengambi...

28 February 2013 Press statement by MCA Youth Secretary General Dato' Chai Kim Sen Manifesto Rakyat attractive but not pragmatic: Pakatan has no sincerity to ensure its implementation There are many contradictions contained in the Manifesto Rakyat for Pakatan to be able to achieve its goal. They do not have a clear concept and their Manifesto is designed to fish for votes. On one hand, Pakatan talks about improving urban and inter-city public transportation system while on the other hand, they speak about lowering car and oil prices. To put it bluntly, these two policies contradict each other because enhancing the public transportation system is to encourage the rakyat to utilize public transport. However, in promising to reduce car and oil prices, this effectively encourage people to purchase more private vehicles. Once car owners have more private cars of their own, is there is a need to upgrade the public transportation system? Who then will rely on public transport? ...

Perjuangan PAS sebagai parti yang menegakkan Islam di negara ini semakin tersasar apabila PAS lebih sanggup untuk mengetepikan matlamat perjuangan demi menjaga hubungannya dalam pakatan pembangkang bersama DAP dan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), sekali gus cuba untuk menang dalam pilihan raya umum ke-13 (PRU-13). Prinsip Islam yang cuba ditegak PAS seperti hudud dan negara Islam kini semakin lenyap daripada sebutan pemimpin parti itu lebih-lebih lagi apabila ia bersama DAP. Pengerusi Pembangunan Parlimen Marang Senator Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakar berkata apa yang PAS buat selama kini sudah memakan dirinya sendiri bermula dengan isu Amanat Haji Hadi, Kalimah Allah, Doa Hancur BN/UMNO dan yang terbaharu menyamakan penerima Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) dengan haiwan. "Amanat Haji Hadi telah menyebabkan berlakunya perpecahan umat Islam di Malaysia hari ini dan amanat ini makan diri Hadi (Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang) begitu juga dengan isu kalimah Allah. Ini semua hasil ker...

Wow...cukup hebat bila sebuah portal dibawah payroll Anwar mempersoalkan keputusan yang dibuat oleh PAS dalam memilih calon PM jika pakatan haram dapat menawan Putrajaya... Portal tersebut menyatakan rasa kurang senang terhadap tindak tanduk PAS yang masih cuba menafikan kedudukan Anwar Ibrahim sebagai bakal Perdana Menteri Malaysia jika Pakatan haram berjaya mentadbir Putrajaya selepas pilihanraya umum akan datang. Portal tersebut memdedahkan ada antara yang hadir menyalahkan PAS sehingga menyebabkan Anwar berjauh hati... Punca portal tersebut menyatakan begitu ialah apabila Anwar dikatakan terpaksa mengeluarkan kenyataan supaya media dan rakyat tidak membincangkan soal jawatan Perdana Menteri pakatan haram dalam ucapannya di Kongres pakatan haram kelmarin walaupun  Azmin Ali dalam ucapannya sebelum itu, secara terbuka menyatakan Anwar akan dilantik sebagai Perdana Menteri! !! Menurut portal tersebut apa yang memburukkan keadaan ialah kenyataan Ketua Penerangan PAS, Datuk Tuan Ib...

Pas tidak menarik balik kenyataan bersama pemimpin pakatan pembangkang yang membenarkan penggunaan kalimah Allah oleh penganut agama lain kerana kenyataan itu telah disedia dan ditandatangani oleh Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang sendiri. Ketua Pembangkang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ketika mendedahkan perkara itu berkata, dalam usaha menyelesaikan masalah tersebut, beliau telah meminta Presiden Pas itu sebagai seorang yang tahu agama dan faham Islam, supaya memberikan pandangan untuk diteliti oleh pemimpin pakatan pembangkang. "Maka Tok Guru Hadi Awang pun atas nama Pas buat, dengan ayat al- Quran nama Allah itu bagaimana dari segi orang Islam bagaimana dimuliakan, orang (bukan Islam) nak sebut insya-Allah, alhamdulillah tak dilarang kalau sebut itu dengan memuliakan, tetapi syaratnya jangan menghina, jangan menyalah erti, jangan menyalah tafsir. "Kemudian saya kena runding, ha itu kerja ambo, kenyatae (kenyataan) itu Pas setujulah (sebab) kenyatae ia, Keadilan tak susah tapi DAP...

Kira-kira 100 ahli PAS dari Kampung Pening Lalat, Gual Tokdeh bertindak drastik menyertai Umno selepas kecewa dengan sikap pemimpin parti itu yang disifatkan semakin bongkak. Borang keahlian mereka diserahkan kepada Ketua Umno Bahagian Rantau Panjang, Datuk Abdullah Mat Yasim dalam Majlis Selamat Tinggal PAS di kampung tersebut malam tadi. Ahli PAS, Yaacob Mahmood, 78, berkata, dia mengambil keputusan menyertai Umno kerana berasa terhina dengan kenyataan Menteri Besar, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat yang menyamakan bantuan Kerajaan Pusat seperti memberi makan ayam dan lembu. "Nik Abdul Aziz sendiri pernah mengajar supaya terima apa sahaja yang diberikan Umno. Tapi sekarang lain pula. Itu tidak mengapa, tetapi kalau sampai tahap menghina begini, saya tidak boleh terima. Kami ini manusia bukan haiwan. "Sejak 22 tahun PAS memerintah juga, tidak ada sebarang hasil pun yang kami dapat. Tapi Umno tidak pernah abaikan kami meskipun tahu kami penyokong tegar PAS," katanya ket...

Though nobody has officially announced the date of the general election, an official announcement now seems redundant as some have already been campaigning for about two years. ONE morning, my breakfast was marred by someone with a loudhailer announcing a political ceramah in my neighbourhood. Then I found an infestation of political party flags and banners by the roadside near my house. For a moment I thought I must have missed the news: Had the Parliament been dissolved already? In a few days, the flags and banners disappeared. Apparently, they were put up by one party to coincide with the ceramah by another party. How this is meant to influence votes is unclear to me. Despite so-called rules, it is clear to anyone that there are lots of people revving up to have an election. In fact, some of them have been campaigning already for about two years. Yet nobody has officially announced the general election. Indeed, an official announcement now seems redundant. So l...

Stainless steel guiding blocks are built into the highly polished floor inside the MRT stations. The Lion City gets a roar of approval for its many disabled-friendly features. IT is always very encouraging to note that disabled-friendly facilities are improving and expanding everywhere. Environmentalist Jeffrey Phang, 57, who had just returned from a weekend in Singapore, was delighted to share with me his wheelchair-friendly encounters down south. "It has been years since I last visited Singapore. On my recent trip there, I was hoping to get some ideas on how I could introduce more disabled-friendly features in the Kota Damansara community forest," wrote Phang, who is co-chairman of environmental NGO, Friends of Kota Damansara. "We initiated wheelchair-friendly designs in 2006 through a small grant. It included a special wheelchair accessible canopy with camping and barbecue facilities, and a sandpit where wheelchair-users can roll over and enjoy nature, too...

Press Statement by MCA Youth Federal Territory Chairman Senator Chiew Lian Keng, JP DAP too busy to lead Pakatan, and afraid that big brothers in Pakatan unhappy As the analysis by the Asian Strategic and Leadership Institute (ASLI) is not favourable to DAP, the latter has criticized the former as being closer to Barisan Nasional. This indicates that DAP totally disrespects the findings and value of an NGO, and refuses to accept a differing opinion. If the organization's report had benefitted the party or Pakatan, DAP would definitely have praised the analysis and proclaim the organization as neutral and that the report is convincing. ASLI's analysis had reported that BN would win 123 Parliament seats in the approaching general election and would continue to govern the country. At the same time, ASLI predicted that DAP would win 35~40 seats federal seats, 28 more seats compared to 2008 and become the "boss" of Pakatan. Fearing that the ASLI analysis would ...

Hebat puak-puak pembangkan ni...DS Najib bantuan pada rakyat pun dilebelkan jahat..Menariknya yang buat kerja lebel-melebel ni merupakan sebuah parti yang kononnya memperjuangkan ajaran Islam...Tapi yang panggil orang lain haiwan, firaun dan lebih jahat dari iblis tu Islam ajar ke?? Buat malu orang Islam di Malaysia je... **EP terfikir juga kenapa Bob Lokman kata Kerajaan BN lebih jahat dari Iblis..sedangkan iblis dah cukup jahat.. rupa-rupanya Nik Aziz kan pernah berkata : Pembangkang terutama Pas tidak sudah-sudah menyamakan kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) dengan pelbagai gelaran hina yang bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam. Ia dimulakan Mursyidul Am Pas, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat menyamakan pemberian Batuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) seperti 'memberi hampas kelapa dan jerami kepada ayam dan lembu', disusuli Presiden Pas, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang menyamakan BR1M dengan apa yang pernah dilakukan oleh Firaun. Malam tadi, bekas pelawak dan penulis lirik lagu, Mohd. Hakim Lokma...

Inilah padahnya bila PR memerintah, negara boleh bankrap dengan sekelip mata saja.... Menteri Besar Kedah, Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak enggan mengulas mengenai hutang kerajaan negeri yang didakwa telah mencecah sehingga RM3 bilion dalam tempoh lima tahun yang lalu di bawah pimpinan kerajaan negeri PAS. Azizan yang juga Pesuruhjaya PAS Kedah, sekadar berkata kerajaan negeri telah berusaha keras untuk meningkatkan hasil selama ini. Beliau semalam diminta mengulas mengenai isu hutang yang telah sekali lagi diketengahkan oleh Ketua Pemuda Gerakan Kedah Tan Keng Liang. Tan mendakwa bahawa hutang kerajaan negeri berjumlah RM2 bilion sebelum tahun 2008 tetapi telah meningkat kepada RM3 bilion termasuk pinjaman RM330 juta untuk pembinaan Kolej Universiti Insaiah (Kuin) di Kuala Ketil. "Pinjaman tersebut telah diambil oleh sebuah syarikat negeri berkaitan kerajaan untuk membiayai projek Kuin," katanya kepada sidang akhbar di pejabat Gerakan negeri semalam. Tan mula-mula membangkit...

Press statement by MCA Publicity Bureau chairman Datuk Heng Seai Kie Pakatan's Manifesto Rakyat ignores Indian and disabled communities Senator Datuk Heng Seai Kie Pakatan's Manifesto Rakyat is vague and superficial at best, and has selectively left out a number of important issues in their manifesto, thus proving that it is nothing more than populist policies meant to win votes. Even on the most basic question of Pakatan's candidate for Prime Minister, they cannot reach an agreement and dare not announce or explain why to the public. Instead, each Pakatan party wants their own party leader as their candidate for Prime Minister and because they are unable to reach a mutual consensus, they have decided to sweep this issue under the carpet. The supporters of Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Dato' Seri Hadi Awang and Lim Guan Eng are all pushing for each of them to be the Prime Minister. But due to the political interest of the 3 Pakatan parties, they have reso...

Rogue former Director of Commercial Criminal Investigation Department Dato' Ramli Yusuff is taking former IGP Tan Sri Musa Hassan to court.

PR 'Pakatan, The People's Hope' Manifesto was officially launched on Fenruary 25 in conjunction of Pakatan Rakyat's fourth convention which was held in Shah Alam Convention Centre (SACC). The manifesto was made based on four sections,  the people's economy, people' welfare, government for the people and fulfilling people's aspirations. One interesting bit about this, the contents of the manifesto did not even touch on PR's commitment to fight on the implementation of hudud if they manage to take over the Central Government. From page one to the end, not even a single sentence mention anything about implementing hudud. This shows that PR do not even want to implement it even though everyone knows that implementation of hudud is synonym with PAS for the past three decades. This surprised many political watchdogs because this means that PAS' fight seems to have been taken out just like that, making the party useless. PAS do not seem to have any influe...

Panas terbakar penyokong pakatan pembangkang apabila Salih Yaakob dan Nabil Raja Lawak melakonkan watak sebagai pemimpin politik yang gemar menabur janji. Penyampai radio, pelawak serta pengacara terkenal, Salih Yaacob, 52, mengambil keputusan untuk menarik diri daripada dunia hiburan ekoran penyebaran cereka pendek di laman YouTube berjudul Bangkang dari Longkang . Cereka pendek berdurasi kira-kira tiga minit yang memaparkan situasi di sebuah ceramah parti politik itu turut disertai seorang lagi rakan pelawaknya, Nabil Ahmad. Kesannya, Salih mendapat kritikan meluas daripada pihak penyokong parti pembangkang, bahkan stesen radio Sinar FM turut diugut untuk diboikot. "Saya sangat kecewa dan meminta maaf kepada peminat. "Saya mengambil keputusan untuk tidak lagi terlibat di dalam bidang hiburan selepas ini. Soal kerjaya sebagai penyampai radio pula saya serah semuanya kepada pihak pengurusan," katanya. Nampak jelas ketidakmatangan sepertinya sudah sebati dalam jiwa rama...

Pelikkan... NGO R ditubuhkan oleh puak-puak pakatan haram untuk mendesak kerajaan pusat supaya menyerahkan royalti  minyak kepada kerajaan negeri Kelantan tapi perkara yang dijaja oleh mereka sendiri tidak dimasukkan dalam manifesto terbaru mereka... Lagi pelik bila...manifesto tersebut telah dibincangkan dan mendapat persetujuan bersama antara PAS, DAP dan PKR...Tak kan la Nik Aziz atau Hadi Awang terlupa nak ingatkan Anwar mengenai perkara itu untuk dimasukkan dalam manifesto..Banyak tu duit royalti...macam mana boleh terlepas pandang??.. apa yang mereka buat dalam mesyuarat manifesto...tidur, jadi pak angguk atau tak hadir dalam mesyuarat yang menentukan isi kandungan manifesto PR??

Datuk Ramli Yusuff is suing Tan Sri Musa Hassan for defamation over the retired Inspector-General of Police's alleged description of him as a "black knight", stepping up the verbal mud-slinging between the two police veterans that could implicate the entire force. In his statement of claim filed today at the Shah Alam High Court registry, the former Commercial Crimes Investigation Department chief accused his former colleague and critic of tarnishing his reputation publicly with statements made at a news conference last year. In the December 10 news conference, Musa had suggested that unnamed political figures were backing Ramli in the latter's public war of words with him. According Musa, Ramli had been given the platform to criticise him and paint the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in good light. "It seems like he's the white knight, saviour of PDRM ... while I'm the black knight who is destroying PDRM," Musa had said. Replying to a question by a ...

Ya, kalau anda mengikuti  Instagram Nabila Huda , sememangnya dipenuhi dengan gambar-gambar dirinya berposing dengan pakaian yang agak seksi di tempat-tempat pelancongan dalam dan luar negara. Banyak cacian dan makian yang telah Nabila terima kerana berkongsikan gambar-gambar ini. Namun ! jangan salah anggap, Nabila sebenarnya ingin berkongsi kecantikan pemandangan dan latar belakang di dalam gambar-gambar tersebut. Bukannya berkongsi gambar seksi dirinya.
