Bailong Elevator Built Into The Side Of Huge Cliff
Have
you ever taken an elevator ride to the top of a mountain? No? Then you
haven’t been to Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie, China, because if you had,
you would have surely seen the towering Bailong Elevator built into the
side of a huge cliff. Also known as Hundred Dragons Elevator, this glass
elevator stands 330 meters tall and is claimed to be the highest and
heaviest outdoor elevator in the world. Quite possibly, it is the only
elevator in the world that lets people ride up a cliff.
Exempt Sabah, Oil States From Fuel Hike- Jeffrey
Kota Kinabalu: “Sabah and the other oil producing States should be exempted from the recent fuel price increase to avoid further damage to their local economies and preventing additional burdens on the already suffering people” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah, in a press statement released today.
“There is no justification for the people of the oil producing States to be further burdened with fuel price increases when Petronas and the federal government is illegally taking 95% of the oil revenues from these people” added Dr. Jeffrey, who has been a strong advocate for the return of the oil rights to the oil producing States particularly Sabah and Sarawak.

Menjelang Muktamar Pas Dan Pemilihan Tahun Ini
Oleh Khalid Samad
Sudah
lama saya tidak menulis. Sepanjang Ramadhan saya hanya meletakkan
tulisan orang lain serta beberapa video ucapan saya untuk tatapan
pengunjung. Saya sedar ada banyak yang diperkatakan tentang saya, oleh
mereka yang ingin ‘menyelamatkan PAS’ dan ‘menyelamatkan Presiden’
(kononnya) tetapi saya memilih untuk mendiamkan diri, buat seketika.
Biarlah bulan Ramadhan diisi oleh usaha mentarbiyyahkan jiwa dan
menundukkan nafsu. Bagi mereka yang merasakan diri mereka dijamin
syurga, biarlah mereka teruskan dengan kerja memfitnah dan menabur
dusta. Itu ‘hak’ mereka untuk menempah kemurkaan Allah sambil manusia
lain berusaha mencari keredhaanNya.
Maths, Science grades classified as secret?
 |
| In 2003 the Trends International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMMS) ranked Malaysia as 10th out of 46 countries for Mathematics, now we are 36th. |
By Winston Way
KUCHING: A baffled opposition here has questioned Education Ministry’s need to classify students’ SPM grades in Mathematics and Science subjects under the Official Secrets Act (OSA).
Sarawak DAP chief Chong Chieng Jen had written to the ministry seeking a breakdown of the grades for General Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English Language for the years 2006-2012 and was told that the information was “secret”
“I cannot understand why Mathemaics and Science grades are classified under the Official Secrets Act (OSA). How can revealing the grades jeopardise national security?” he asked.

All 3 Ex-Chief Justices in Singapore were former Malaysians
 |
| 1st Singapore Chief Justice, Wee Chong Jin |
The first, Wee Chong Jin was from Penang Free School. The second, Yong Pung How (nicknamed the "Hanging judge"?) was an ex-VI boy in KL.
And the third, Ipoh-born Chan Sek Keong, hailed from King Edward VII School in Taiping, and later the Anderson School in Ipoh.
Had they remained in Malaysia, they might have made it to the level of a Sessions Court judge, if they are lucky.
Our nation's loss is the little red dot's gain.
Note: CJ Chan wrote an average of 30 judgement a year, now compare that to Karpal's complaint that a Malaysian senior judge has yet to deliver his written judgement after 5 years

Hindraf calls on Prime Minister Najib to get cracking on the Hindraf BN MOU
By N.Ganesan, Hindraf National Adviser
The recent high pitched campaign by the police to address the rising crime rate in the country has helped to highlight the extent to which Indian youth are caught up in the whirlpool of crime. The fact that there is such a large involvement of the Indian young is a fairly recent phenomenon. This has not always been the case. This trend was set some 30 odd years ago in tandem with the massive forced displacement of Indian plantation workers out of their traditional abodes in the estates. This crime problem of the Indian young is only one of many, ailing the Indian community and is also only symptomatic of the more serious socio-economic problem.

Sabah Must Assert and Celebrate Independence Day on 31 August - Jeffrey
Kota Kinabalu: Sabah must assert and celebrate its independence
on 31st August as independence day is the most important milestone of
any nation and more so when 2013 marks its 50th anniversary of
independence” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah, in
a press statement released today.The people must know that Sabah gained independence on 31 August 1963 and was 16 days before being rushed into forming Malaysia with 3 other independent nations, Malaya, Sarawak and Singapore. The correct history needs to be re-written and thought to our young that Malaya gained independence on 31 August 1957 while Sarawak and Singapore gained theirs on 22 July 1963 and 3 June 1959 and that Malaysia was formed as a new nation on “Malaysia Day”, 16 September 1963.
