Rosmah, masalah baru Najib

"Di Malaysia, orang belum boleh menerima isteri seorang PM sebagaimana
yang dibuat oleh Rosmah," kata Prof Datuk Dr Zainal Kling.

PETALING JAYA: Seorang penganalisis politik tempatan berpendapat Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak kini berdepan dengan masalah yang ditimbulkan oleh isterinya, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, di samping timbunan masalah lain.

Prof Datuk Dr Zainal Kling berkata, orang melihat Rosmah sebagai lebih menonjol dari Najib sendiri. Di Malaysia, orang belum boleh menerima isteri seorang Perdana Menteri sebagaimana yang dibuat oleh Rosmah.

Musa keeps Rosmah happy and Shafie out

Chief Minister Musa Aman's extensive reach in
Sabah makes him an almost invincible opponent
to allies and enemies alike.

LAHAD DATU: Musa Aman has ultimate control over the state’s economy, security and soil. He is Chief Minister, Finance Minister and Sabah Umno chairman.

It is a concentration of power, without oversight and unprecedented, in a state government. It was unheard of prior to the Umno-led Barisan Nasional’ s takeover of the state administration.

Psm And The Third Force

While the Third Force in Malaysian politics is trying to garner its candidates for the next general elections, the most obvious choices have been provided by the proven leaders of the Parti Sosialis Malaysia.
They have at least seven capable leaders who are suitable as candidates for Parliament, namely: Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj, Dr Nasir Hashim, S Arutchelvam, M Saraswathy, Choo Chon Kai, Rani Rasiah, and K Kunasekaran.

In the 2008 general elections, PSM's Dr Kumar (right) stood and won the Sungai Siput constituency against MIC President Samy Vellu.

Malaysian shone laser beam at Singapore goal-keeper. What a shame !

They first did this to the Indonesian Team. So what else is new???

Malaysia Boleh!!!

Railway Service Still Stuck In The 70’s

OLD…… very old diesel locomotive.

By : DAP MEDIA

THE PAKATAN Rakyat team took a walk to look at the condition and situation in the Beaufort railway station on Monday. To their surprise, they found themselves back in time to the 70’s when they saw the old train and its locomotive.

The PR Member of Parliament from Kota Kinabalu Hiew King Cheu led the PR team comprising of DAP and PKR members. Among them were Edward Ewol Mujie, Taufik Ruschi, Jamil Zakaria, Ong Boon Ho, and others.

The MP was shocked when he saw many passengers sitting in a train carriage which is from the 70’s era. He saw many crowded people sitting on a row of timber bench set in the centre part of the train carriage with both doors slide wide open.

CARGO…. the old cargo carriage seated with full house passengers with cargos

There were bags of cement, other goods and even a bicycle stuffed in it. The cabin has no fans and the people are sitting shoulder rubbing shoulder.

Hiew said this is definitely a cargo carriage for the stacking of goods, why there is so many people crowdedly sitting in a goods carriage, where are the rules and regulations, and what is the Safety Board of the Transport Ministry has to say about this?

This railway in Sabah is spending heavily on the public fund. The government had spent at least some RM400 million on the upgrading and renewal program, but looking at the condition of the railway today you can feel that our money is not well spent. There is actually not worth the amount of money spent, in another words the money is wasted.

CARGO…. the old cargo carriage seated with full
house passengers with cargos.

The railway users complained to the MP that they also felt that they have been let down of not having the equal standard of the railway service in Semenanjong where they have the good comfortable cabins and fast train service. There is even air-conditioning too. Here they don’t even get to sit on comfortable seats, and they are forced to sit with cement and cargo.

For the KK to Beaufort route it takes about 2.5 hours and the route from Beaufort to Tenom takes another 3 to 4 hours if there is no derailment or engine break-down. The locomotive is a diesel power engine and it is a museum piece, Hiew said it might be as old as him, and he remembers when he was 10 years old, he rode in the same old train before.

The MP said it is impossible to have such pieces of museum item still running on our railway. It is old and not reliable and yet these old junks are still taking the people for a ride.

What is the government going to do for us, or they are just going to let these junks run until they fall into pieces and retire permanently? Why after spending so many hundred millions of ringgits, we still get such train service, there must be something very seriously wrong, ‘Another project by Barisan National’?

SAPP rethinks plan, eyes state seats

Cornered Sabah-based SAPP may just focus on contesting
exclusively in state seats in the general election and
leave the parliamentary constituencies to peninsular
based parties.

By Luke Rintod  of FMT

KOTA KINABALU: With the general election looming over the horizon, top leaders in opposition Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) are ‘aggressively examining” the party’s chances and strategic options.

With the humiliating defeat in Batu Sapi parliamentary by-election last year still fresh in mind, SAPP is now said to be toying with the idea of focusing on the 60 state seats at stake.

Former High Court Judge condemns the jdges sitting on RCI for Teoh Beng Hock's death

By Yow Hong Chieh

Law Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz holds up copies
of the RCI report on Teoh Beng Hock at Dewan Rakyat
after it was released July 21, 2011.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 — A respected former senior judge has branded the three judges on the Teoh Beng Hock royal commission of inquiry (RCI) “three blind mice” for concluding that the political aide committed suicide despite lacking expert opinion.



Former High Court and Court of Appeal judge Datuk N. H. Chan said the commission had “no business” forming such an opinion as none of the experts it called upon gave the opinion that Teoh committed suicide.

Resign Or Snap Election - Here are the reasons

By Aiso Ngaran

As much as I would like to stop writing about PM Najib administration, the plot just got interesting and I think he may just hit the bull’s eye as far as my prediction that his downfall may be faster than his predecessor, Abdullah Badawi, is concerned. Compared with Najib, Badawi now seems like a cute adorable little kitten, who merely likes to sleep (on the job). Malaysians tend to be more forgiving on lazy prime minister but not a prime minister who lies, cheats, brutal, dirty (allegation on Mongolian Altantuya’s murder), hypocrite but above all stupid yet arrogant.

Polls dry run shows BN can lose Perak, Negri Sembilan

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 — The ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) could lose Perak and Negri Sembilan in the next general elections, according to results of a recent dry run. Unless component parties put popular faces and ensure the grassroots machinery garner support from voters.

The Malaysian Insider understands that the Umno election dry run also showed that the BN fortress of Johor could see up to 15 out of the 56 state seats go to their political opponents Pakatan Rakyat (PR), something unheard before Election 2008 when the ruling coalition lost six seats.
