Sabah The Next To fall?

Wednesday, 12 January 2011 admin-s

By GM, Penampang, Sabah.

With the next General Elections looming, Pakatan Rakyat Penampang has shifted its efforts to capture Sabah into overdrive. Spearheading the campaign to topple the ruling elite is PKR Penampang’s information chief Mr. Honorsius Bosuin. Now that the storm has settled in PKR, members are stepping up their efforts to win back public support that was damaged by the alleged PKR election frauds, the exit of Zaid Ibrahim, as well as the Dr. Jeffrey saga.

It cannot be denied that Dr. Jeffrey’s departure has left an impact on PKR/Pakatan Rakyat Sabah; however, I would agree that the impact is minimal as mentioned by YB Saifuddin Nasution. Word on the ground is that people have been wary of Dr. Jeffrey and have anticipated that what happened was coming as he cannot stay in a political party for long and history has repeatedly proven this. We wish him and the United Borneo Front (UBF) all the best in their future struggles.

Prevention is better than cure.

Keep Walking..... 

Jus to check this out......
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot. 
Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.

This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.

God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

‘Anwar lied to Sabahans in 1994 too’

Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) has advised Sabahans not to be swayed by Pakatan Rakyat coalition leader Anwar Ibrahim’s “irresponsible” 100-day election promise.

Vice-president Herbert Timbon Lagadan reminded Sabahans that it was “Anwar who coined the 100-day promise of Sabah Baru” or a developed New Sabah back in 1994 to dupe Sabahans then.

“It is an irresponsible election ploy by Anwar and Pakaatn.

“Such an act is a sign of desperation on the part of the opposition which hoodwinks the people and promises anything although it knows it cannot deliver, ” said Timbon, who is also Kadamaian assemblyman.

“Every Sabahan still remembers Anwar’s fiery speeches during the 1994 state election; he raised false hope and pledged loads of developments within 100 days of taking over the government of Sabah.

“At that time Anwar was deputy prime minister and minister of finance… such is a mark of a man who is willing to believe his own lies and who is on the verge of lunacy,” he said in a statement today.

‘Usno and Berjaya govts took better care of poor’

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah DAP has conceded that the previous Usno and Berjaya state governments had better and more effective policies which helped alleviate poverty and improve the economic status of the natives in the state.

Placing credit where it’s due, state party chief Jimmy Wong said the “Usno and Berjaya governments had done something unique and interesting”.

“For example, the low-cost housing started by Usno involving only six posts was laughed at by many (at that time) but today these six-post houses are sitting on premium lands and have become expensive properties.

“We can at least praise Usno for lifting the economic status of the people.

“As for the Berjaya (governemnt), it started giving away 15 acres of land for every Sabahan.

“This was a brilliant policy and today those people who received, retained and planted oil palm on these lands are much better off than many people working in the city and towns.

Sabah PKR hot seat a poisoned chalice?

Luke Rintod of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: If the gasp of surprise is any indication, newly-appointed Sabah PKR top man Pajudin Nordin has jumped into a hot seat and bets are on as to whether he will last long in the post.

The stakes are high and the expectations even higher given that even PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim didn’t last more than a few months as Sabah state chief before he relinquished it to Azmin Ali, who in turn lasted for only a few weeks before handing the reins to Ahmad Thamrin Jaini.

Thamrin was heavily criticised for “non-performance” or failing to come up to the expectations of his peers, a charge that he disagrees with.

“Qualified” people, such as former PKR vice-president Jeffrey Kitingan, a Harvard scholar, were sidelined as they were believed to be not good enough to head PKR in the second-biggest state in Malaysia.

Now Pajudin, 42, not even a divisional head, has been entrusted with the task of leading the state by party president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Perhaps, a more pertinent question is whether Pajudin will be able to perform better than all his predecessors, including recent leaders like Thamrin and Ansari Abdullah.

Ansari's proxy, 'ustaz" Pajudin Nordin of Tuaran is Sabah PKR new head

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU: Little-known Pajudin Nordin, 42, of Tuaran is Sabah PKR's new chief, replacing the heavily-criticised for under-performance Ahmad Thamrin Jaini.

The Arab-speaking Pajudin, who is fondly addressed as "ustaz" among his friends here, was announced to the post by PKR President Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail in Kuala Lumpur Sunday.

Pajudin, a trained teacher, graduated in "tahfiz wal qiraat" at Saudi Arabia's Maahad Syubro. He has held the posts of deputy principal imam of the state mosque in Kota Kinabalu as well as a deputy registrar at the Jabatan Hal-Ehwal Agama Islam Negeri Sabah (JHEAINS).  

Also announced Monday was the state PKR's new Woman Chief, Lukia Indan, the party former candidate for Kadamaian state constituency in Kota Belud in the 2008 general election. She replaced Shaukinah Yusof.

Imagining a nation? Not in Sarawak

The student of politics naturally assumes that the nation state is the most natural and the most logical destination in the journey of a group of people with a shared past and a common destiny. By and large, the nation state is deemed as a rational development in the politics of a people struggling for legitimacy.

This is not always the case. In Malaysia, the idea of a people united by a common history, language and a shaped destiny has come under severe strain from the linguistic, racial and religious tensions of a divided people.

The situation is even more confusing in Sarawak, because of the diverse historical and ethnic composition of the people. There have been many pre-existing, ready-made divisions within Sarawak society, and the preoccupation with the politics of race has muddied Sarawak's political waters even further.

In his monumental work entitled 'Nations and Nationalism', famed scholar Benedict Anderson has proposed that the most basic impulse of nation-building is one centred around the imagining of 'a people', based on the people's national roots. Very often, a common language is an anchor of such an ethnic project.

Stop all these COVER UPS and WHITEWASH!

by Din Merican

On December 30, 2010, I posted Tan Sri Robert Phang's New Year's Press Statement because I share his wishes and hopes for all Malaysians that God's Blessings be upon all of us, that we become a truly 1Malaysia natiostarted, that wish was immediately dashed yesterday when the MACC Corruption Prevention Panel Chairman, Tan Sri Ramon Navaratnam, declared that the MACC Board members and Panel Advisers were satisfied with A-G Gani Patail's explanation of his recent haj pilgrimage to Mecca with Tajuddin's proxy, Shahidan Shafie.

Ramon said that the MACC Board and Panel members were satisfied with A-G Gani Patail's explanation and found that there was no need to investigate the allegations. That is indeed amusing.

Overzealous Ramon Navaratnam should resign

In short, the MACC Board and Panel members had cleared A-G Gani Patail without even investigating the allegations. Ramon's statement and clearing of A-G Gani Patail without an investigation violate the very cardinal function of the MACC as set out under section 7 (b) of the  MACC Act, which is  to detect and investigate:

i) any suspected offence under this Act;
ii) any suspected attempt to commit any offence under this  Act;
iii) any suspect ted conspiracy to commit any offence under this Act.

Save our daughters, sisters, wives from rape

Fifteen years ago when I was arrested and charged with publishing false news for a memorandum send to the government on the abuse, torture and dehumanised treatment of migrant workers in immigration detention centres, one of the charges I faced was the issue of rape of women in the detention centres.

In Indonesia, one of our partners investigated and documented five testimonies of women migrants raped at the camps. They were willing to testify.
Unfortunately and suspiciously, the office of our partner was raided and the files went missing. It was difficult to track the women and I lost my witnesses.

I did not lose hope. Together with one of my very committed lawyers, we went to Bangladesh to interview witnesses.
