By Ezra Haganez
PENAMPANG: Something is not right with Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), if the party's elections is of any barometer.

A veteran leader of the now-defunct UNKO, Fred Edwin Lojingki, 69, said the chaotic and sometimes violent nature of the PKR on-going polls in Sabah as well as in Semenanjung is a manifestation of bad political culture being promoted in the party.

"In my very long years in politics since the 1960's until now, both as activist and observer, i have never seen something like this where party election was so marred with violence, tampered with underhand tactics, being run under chaotic management.

JESUS the boy...

JERUSALEM: Today let us break this all-politics and world's current affairs reporting by pondering on the life of a greatest Man ever alive, JESUS...

Jesus was to live in Nazareth until He was about thirty years old, and this is why, although He was born in Bethlehem, He is often known as Jesus of Nazareth.  The Bible tells us that He “increased in wisdom and stature; and in favor with God and man.”  In other words, He grew not only in height but also in wisdom, knowledge and learning with God’s blessing; the people loved him and respected Him.

Bahrain tycoon says Bumi policy can scare away investors

By Yow Hong Chieh

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 — Malaysia risks scaring away foreign investors if it insists on pursuing Bumiputera affirmative action policies, a top official of a major Bahrain conglomerate said today.

You have a ‘delightful’ law here... where you give the local population certain seats or certain preference or certain licences,” Kanoo Group deputy chairman Mishal Hamed Kanoo told reporters at the “Dawn of the New Decade: Alternative Investments in Asia” forum here today.

“If you do that and foreign investors want to come in — they’re not used to this idea — you might scare them.”

By P. Waytha Moorthy

Jokes for the day: Touring

Groups of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland .  As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat's milk was used.  She showed the group a lovely hillside where many goats were grazing.  'These' she explained, 'Are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce.'  She then asked, 'What do you do in America with your old goats?  A spry old gentleman answered, 'They send us on bus tours!j

BEAUFORT: Former state finance minister Mohd Noor Mansoor has lashed out at Umno for impoverishing Sabah after it spread its wings to the state.
In a strongly worded speech in the pro-Barisan Nasional hinterlands, the former Berjaya Party leader accused the peninsula-based party of mismanaging a once rich state to one of the poorest in the country.

Speaking to a large gathering during the annual general meeting of six Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) committees, he warned that Umno was introducing communal politics into the state to ensure its grip through a divide and rule policy.

Obama has lost touch with America's issues

By Mario Rozario

"President Barack Obama is so out of touch with America", "We are handing down a balooning deficit to the coming generations of Americans" and last if all, the statement that I think sums it up the best "now is NOT the time to experiment with Socialism", said by Alaskan Bison Killer and Senator John McCains running campaign mate, Sarah Palin.   How true are these statements that are being voiced on all talk shows these days? Obama's rating is at an all-time low, unemployment is at 9.6% and inching towards the double digits. Despite all the TARP money ($800 Billion) being spent, consumer confidence is still at an all time low. The word on every economists lips these days is "the US is heading for a double dip recession with Europe close behind" once the stimulus package expires in November!!
