Neil Armstrong dies at 82

"A lot of people couldn't figure out Armstrong."

With those words Tom Wolfe introduced Neil Armstrong, the astronaut hero of his nonfiction masterpiece, "The Right Stuff." Armstrong, of course, was a masterpiece himself: the commander of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission and the first man ever to walk on the moon. Armstrong died Saturday from complications relating to heart surgery. He was 82.

All these decades, Armstrong, the lunar Adam, has represented a code his admirers knew better than to try to crack. Not that, early on, great literary minds—besotted by the baby-faced genius—didn't try.

Is Musa on his way out?

Rumours are rife that Najib Tun Razak will soon give
the nod for Musa Aman to be replaced by an interim CM.

KOTA KINABALU: Increasingly embattled Umno may be forced to do a rescue reshuffle of the party hierarchy in Sabah in the hope of retaining its political hold on the state.

Reliable party insiders here said the reshuffle would involve no less than the top posts in Sabah Umno and the state government – both currently held by Musa Aman.

Musa’s leadership is being openly challenged by his own colleagues.

Villagers cried foul over land

KOTA KINABALU: Instead of enjoying the wealth of toiling on the soil in Kampung Serudong Laut, Tawau, the villagers there are instead faced with a dilemma after discovering that they are not the owners of the land.

What saddens the villagers most was that the land they worked so hard on to eke out a meagre living are supposed to be theirs based on Native Customary Right (NCR).

They brought their plight to the attention of Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Vice President cum Tawau Member of Parliament Datuk Chua Soon Bui who assured them of her assistance to get to the bottom of the matter.

So you think you know the voters

About 61 percent of Malays considered themselves Muslims first, with only 28 percent identifying themselves first as Malaysians. When asked whether they rely upon their religion when making major life decisions, 92 percent of Malays and 85 percent of Indians answered affirmatively, while only 37 percent of Chinese agreed.

In October 2006, the United States Embassy in Kuala Lumpur sent the report below to Washington. This was, of course, six years ago and a year before the first Bersih rally of November 2007 and about 17 months before the 12th General Election in March 2008.

STAR: Golden Opportunity for Sabah/Sarawak to Demand New Oil Deal

Sabah STAR's chairman, Dr Jeffrey Kitingan

“The Sabah government should take this golden opportunity to demand and sign a new and better oil agreement with Petronas and the federal government” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah in response to the statement given by the Chief Minister that the State’s 5% petroleum royalty review issue is open for amicable discussions with the federal government.

“If the Chief Minister is truly a Sabahan at heart, this is the most opportune time to not only seek a review but to demand and negotiate a new deal for Sabah’s oil and gas resources for the benefit of Sabah and its future.  It cannot be denied that any increase in the oil revenue including the offer of 20% by Pakatan Rakyat is definitely for the benefit of Sabah and Sabahans” added Dr. Jeffrey.

Theold oil agreement is nearly 4 decades old and a new oil deal is certainly needed for the future of Sabah.   The so-called review will also test the sincerity of the federal government and the Sabah leaders as well as the extent of the federal-state relationship.

QUIET FURY grips Sabah & S'wak over Putrajaya’s 55-years Merdeka claim

Written by  Joe Fernandez, Malaysia Chronicle

The insensitive ignoramuses have done it again! The buntings and billboards, shipped in from Putrajaya, brazenly proclaim 55 years of Merdeka throughout the length and breadth of Sabah and Sarawak. This is the Mother of All Bullshit in Sabah and Sarawak.
Whose Merdeka?

Obviously, it’s Merdeka for Peninsular Malaysia or Malaya which became independent of British colonial rule of a sort on 31 Aug, 1957. The revisionists are claiming that the British never really colonised Malaya – the land of the Orang Asal i.e. the Orang Asli -- which they in fact hacked away from the Thai kingdom, after two wars with Bangkok, to plant rubber and mine tin. But that’s another story.

That i.e. 1957 being the case, why flaunt it in Sabah and Sarawak and expect the long-suffering people there to share in the joy of the people of Malaya in being free of colonialism and imperialism?

For a good cause...

FOR GOOD CAUSE... Leaders of opposition State Reform Party (Star) Ranau yesterday went to the Ranau District Hospital and bleed for a good cause... to lift blood supply ahead of the celebration of Aidilfitri. Leading them was Ranau Star head, Jalibin Paidi, who also donated his blood for the third time. picture shows Jalibin getting ready to give his blood. He said 15 party leaders came forward and 11 were allowed to bleed and managed to collect 11 pints for the hospital's need. "We will be coming again to Ranau Hospital with another group for the same cause after this Hari Raya," said Jalibin.

How UMNO actually remained in power from 1971

By Voon Lee Shan

There is no reason why SUPP should still remain as a partner of the Barisan Nasional government when the Party itself could not protect its own interest and had no or very little bargaining power within the government itself. After SUPP formed the State government with Parti Bumiputra on Tuesday 7th July, 1970, their left wing then accused the leadership of selling out the Party, which caused their then Party Chairman during the 7th Delegate Conference held on December, 1970 to deny this and said that they joined the government as co-equals, but, how correct was this? We have witness that all these years SUPP’s influence in BN government, both at the State and Federal levels, had not only dwindled, but, also showed that the Party could no more advance and protect the interest of its own Party members and supporters.
