Saturday, February 28, 2009 Perak state legal advisor blocks assembly meeting Posted by: gundrohiker "The Perak state legal advisor is trying to block state representatives from being notified of an emergency sitting of the state assembly on March 3rd. According to DAP Perak chairman Ngeh Koo Ham, the legal advisor, Datuk Ahmad Kamal Mohd Shahid, has directed the house secretary not to send out notices of the emergency sitting." It seems to me that government servants are being used to subdue the will of the people with total disregard for the rule of law. But then, what can we expect of government servants. If they follow orders wisely, it can after all be a fast track position to higher levels, say attorney general. As for the state secretary, well the next step for him could be as secretary general of one of the federal ministries, a higher JUSA grade. Even if the assembly was held, do you think the sergeant at arms will block Datuk Zambry from entering. I doubt it. He is

Updated: Saturday February 28, 2009 MYT 1:48:33 PM Water cannons turned on crowd in Brickfields By M. KUMAR KUALA LUMPUR: Water cannons were turned on a group who came to the Brickfields police station to lodge mass police reports against the mistreatment of ISA detainee P. Uthayakumar who suffers from diabetes. The crowd had refused to disperse despite repeated warnings from the police. Police arrested 17 people, including Kapar MP S. Manikavasagam, according to Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo. Among the arrested, three, including a woman, were sent to the hospital but police declined to comment. Earlier Saturday, about 200 people, including several Members of Parliament, had gathered to make the police reports. Police allowed about 50 people - five family members of Uthayakumar and five representatives each from the country’s nine states, including MPs - to enter the station to lodge the reports.

February 27, 2009 21:13 PM Perak Speaker's Emergency Sitting March 3 IPOH, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Perak State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar has called for an emergency sitting on March 3 to table two motions on the takeover of the state government. He said the first motion -- to reaffirm the support for Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin as the rightful menteri besar -- would be tabled by Titi Serong assemblyman Khalil Idham Lim Abdullah. The second motion -- to seek for dissolution of the state assembly and pave the way for fresh polls -- will be tabled by Teja assemblyman Chang Lih Kang. At a news conference here Friday, Sivakumar said the emergency meeting, which was still in the first session of the state assembly, did not require the consent of the Sultan of Perak Sultan Azlan Shah as it only needed a 14-day notice. He said the Perak State Assembly secretary had been ordered to issue the notice of the meeting as soon as possible to all assemblymen, except Menteri Besar Datuk Dr

Media Statement by DAP National Publicity Bureau in Petaling Jaya on Friday, 27th February 2009: Karpal mobbed - Abdullah & Hishamuddin should apology The DAP Central Publicity Bureau is outraged and enraged by the barbaric actions of Selangor UMNO youth members, who surrounded and mobbed DAP chairman Karpal Singh in Parliament yesterday. We therefore demand an apology from UMNO president-cum-Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as well as the present UMNO youth leader-cum-Education Minister, Hishamuddin Hussein. Parliament is a bastion of democracy and Members of Parliament represent the people. When an MP is mobbed and physically abused by UMNO Youth members in the grounds of Parliament, it shows that UMNO Youth does not respect Parliament and what it stands for. More than 12 UMNO Youth members who were able-bodied and smartly dressed mobbed and intimidated a 69-year-old wheelchair-bound man, and behaved rudely to MPs. This gives the impression that UMNO Youth members

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 — Several members of parliament today expressed shock at the toll increases of five highways, beginning March 1. Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi (BN-Batu Pahat) characterised the toll hike as inappropriate. “Recently, the government had said it would give priority to the public in any decision when a concessionaire asked for an increase in toll fares, so I was surprised to hear that toll charges would be increased, beginning Sunday,” he said. He said the government should postpone the increase as the mini-budget would be tabled on March 10. Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid (BN-Padang Besar) did not deny that he would also feel the impact of the toll hike. “When I was a minister, I never had to pay toll charges, I didn’t even know how much they were. Now that I live in Shah Alam and often travel to Kuala Lumpur, I have to go through many toll plazas and can feel the burden. I’m sure others feel the same way, too,” he said. However, the Public Accounts Committee chairman said he underst

45 kes ditutup SPRM kerana tiada bukti kukuh KUALA LUMPUR: Sebanyak 45 daripada 90 kes aduan rasuah politik membabitkan pemimpin Umno yang diterima Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) ditutup kerana ketiadaan bukti kukuh. Jumlah itu merangkumi kira-kira 50 peratus daripada 90 aduan rasuah politik yang diterima suruhanjaya berkenaan sepanjang pemilihan peringkat bahagian Umno, tahun lalu. Sumber SPRM berkata, siasatan yang dijalankan mendapati kira-kira 45 aduan berkenaan gagal disertakan bukti kukuh, sekali gus menyukarkan suruhanjaya untuk mengambil tindakan lanjut. “Kita tidak dapat menghasilkan fail kes yang lengkap dan kukuh kerana pengadu hanya mengemukakan aduan secara umum tanpa disertakan bukti bagi menyokong aduan itu,” katanya ketika dihubungi di sini, semalam. Beliau berkata, kira-kira 20 peratus atau 18 kes rasuah politik yang difailkan pula masih di peringkat siasatan lanjut. Sebanyak 30 peratus atau 27 lagi kes dirujuk kepada Lembaga Disiplin Umno untuk tindakan

This picture was taken at a PETRONAS station. I saw the price was RM2.00 then it went up to RM2.20. The last petrol price increase it went up to RM2.50. But I heard BN Government said the officers will monitor and price increase. But now the petrol price has gone down, PETRONAS being a GLC should follow and be an example to the Government's call to reduce price. But till today (25th Feb 2009) the price is still RM2.50 .

A very informative movie with umph. But sad lots of censors and that kills the impact. It should be rated PG or 18 bla bla and leave the critical scene as it is. You might need to understand the life of the people which Arya was acting to be able to understand the movie well and digest the whole thing. Congrats Bala, Arya.

My friend wake me up early today as he was visiting me. After his visit I saw under the tree lots of flowers. In tamil they call it "pavala malli". The flower blooms at about 9pm with nice smell and drops down at about 9am.

Editor laman web tersebut menulis antaranya menyebut, "Jika zaman dahulu orang seperti Sivakumar ini sudah lama dibunuh oleh Laksamana Melayu. Hari ini orang Melayu sudah menjadi bacul-sebaculnya.

'Anjing, keling': Student files report Syed Jaymal Zahiid Feb 20, 09 2:19pm A school is where the seeds of racial unity are supposed to be sowed but there have been cases suggesting otherwise, with the guilty party being none other than the teachers themselves. Now a new allegation has surfaced from a school in Selayang Baru, where a 14-year-old student claims that he was physically assaulted and verbally abused by a teacher. In his police report filed at the Selayang Baru police station last night, A Kuganeshwaran, a form two student at SMK Darul Ehsan, said: "The teacher called me 'anjing' (dog) and 'keling'." He also claimed that the teacher had punched him on the back and arm. According to Kuganeshwaran, the incident happened during the living skills lesson yesterday. "There was an announcement made on the class speaker so I stood up to listen to it. My teacher told me to sit but I told him that I wanted to listen to the announcement. "Th

By Priscilla Dielenberg, The Star DAP chairman Karpal Singh is questioning the “unholy haste” behind the decision of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in announcing that it had good and strong evidence against Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim for misusing his powers. “As MP (Bukit Gelugor), I demand from MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan as to the basis on which he made this very serious statement publicly. “I wonder what his motive was in publicly maligning the Mentri Besar,” said Karpal Singh on Saturday. He said it was a very serious matter for Ahmad Said to publicly announce, before a decision was made to prosecute, that the MACC had good and strong evidence to show that Khalid misused his powers over the maintenance of his personal car and the distribution of 46 cows for slaughter in his Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary constituency. Karpal Singh said he would raise the matter in Parliament, which is in the process of sitting, if he did n

MACC reduced into “Malaysian Agency for Car and Cows” – Ahmad Said should resign What a letdown! Members of Parliament and Malaysians were promised when the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) 2008 Bill was debated in Parliament last December that the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was finally going to honour his most important pledge when he became Prime Minister five years ago – to eradicate corruption and create a new political culture of public integrity with zero tolerance for corruption. Parliament and the nation were told that MACC was going to become another ICAC (Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption) respected world-wide for its uncompromising and no-nonsense commitment against corruption without fear or favour for position, status or influence. In less than two months, the MACC has become a joke. Instead of building public confidence in its journey to become another ICAC, feared and respected by all, it has quickly become a joke, red

(The Star) - The decision to suspend Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and his six executive council members from assembly sittings was made to put the House in order. State Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar said he had “no choice” but to make the order as the seven were found to have clearly broken the rules of the state constitution. He said Article 16(6) of the state constitution stated that the mentri besar of the day could seek an audience with the Sultan of Perak to dissolve the assembly if he ceased to command the confidence of the majority. “The Clause clearly refers to the mentri besar at the time which was Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Ja­maluddin. No one else but the mentri besar has the right to seek an audience with the Sultan,” he said. Sivakumar noted that under the state constitution there was no provision stating that any party suddenly claiming to have the majority could or must see the Sultan of Perak to ask to form the next government. He said that as the head of

Updated: Tuesday February 17, 2009 MYT 4:48:19 PM PETALING JAYA: Selangor executive council member and Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong, whose nude photographs are being circulated, has tendered her resignation from both posts, but party leaders have yet to accept it. PKR adviser and de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the party would make its decision after Wong comes back from extended leave, but declined to say how long she will be off. “No one in Pakatan Rakyat is pressuring her to leave,” he said, adding that he was concerned with the “pattern of tarnishing PKR MPs’ reputations.” “This is a nasty, humiliating personal attack on her and we have seen this pattern of attack in Perak, Kedah and now, in Selangor,” he said. Earlier this month, Bukit Selambau assemblyman V. Arumugam of PKR quit after allegations of a marriage scandal surfaced. “Eli (Wong) is an important leader in our state government with a good track record.

Published: Tuesday February 17, 2009 MYT 1:53:00 PM Cops probing Guan Eng ‘assassination plot’ By ANN TAN GEORGE TOWN: Police are investigating the report lodged by a Gerakan Youth wing to see if Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s safety is being threatened. George Town OCPD Asst Comm Azam Abd Hamid said they would be recording statements from reporters who reported the news, and other parties. It is believed that police would also be recording statements from Lim regarding the allegation.
