Tanah sawah di Penampang dijual seekar RM1.7 juta

Oleh Percy Goliu
PENAMPANG: Segala-galanya adalah mengenai wang. Dan wang mengubah segala-galanya. Tidak hairanlah ramai pemilik sawah padi di Penampang menjadi ‘jutawan mini segera’ selepas menjual seekar dua tanah nenek moyang mereka kepada orang tengah yang kemudian membangunkan tanah itu untuk tujuan komersial.

Sawah padi di Kampung Kodundungan-Goliput, Jalan Pintas Penampang di sini, dikatakan dijual pada harga di antara RM1.5 juta dan RM1.7 seekar. Kawasan ini yang 10 tahun yang lalu masih aktif ditanam dengan padi, kini ditumbuhi dengan pelbagai bangunan komersial dan infrastruktur.

(This text is translated by Sahabat Rakyat Working Committee Editorial Board from the original Chinese version released in July 2013)

“Since Perak Nanyang University Alumni Association is organising the memorial gathering for the late Tan Lark Sye in Ipoh on Saturday and Sunday, 7 - 8 September, I would request that a resolution “that the revocation of Tan Lark Sye’s citizenship is an unjust political act, and the Singapore government must reinstate Tan’s citizenship” or words to that effect, be adopted at the gathering.

It’s Malay rule, so no difference if BN or Pakatan in power, argues Lee Kuan Yew

Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew (pic) has a sober message for those counting on Pakatan Rakyat (PR) to usher in a new era of race relations in Malaysia: get real.

And the chance of Malay special privileges dismantled by PR in the event that the pact captures Putrajaya? Next to nothing.

To begin with, he said, the chance of the opposition coming to power in the near future was a very long shot. And then there were also the structural problems with the coalition of PAS, DAP and PKR.

Dr Mahathir Mohamad is ANTI-CHINESE, Pure and Simple.

Not Malay Dilemma, Not Chinese Dilemma...
Its All About Mahathir's Own Dilemma

by Dato Din Merican

Dr. Mahathir has yet to deal with the ghosts of his past deeds. Here no one can help him but he himself.

This is indeed tragic for a once formidable leader of our country who is advancing in years (born in 1925). He just cannot let go and now he has taken upon himself the task of interpreting history.

It is not Malay or Chinese Dilemma. It is Dr Mahathir’s.

He is unwilling to come to terms with himself.

Election Court allows BN’s petition for Klias

The Barisan Nasional's election petition succeeds, and a full
trial has been ordered for the Klias state seat in Sabah.

KOTA KINABALU: The Barisan Nasional has succeeded in its election petition for the Klias state seat in Sabah with the Election Court deciding to have a full trial to hear the case.

The court’s decision in allowing the first GE13 election petition, could pave way for an by-election, the second since the May 8, 13th general election.

The decision is likely to court protest by the opposition pact Pakatan Rakyat, whose election petitions so far have been dismissed with high costs.
