Federal Court does not have courage to decide on Non Muslim cases

HINDRAF applauds the decision by the N.S.  Ruler and Chief Minister to include equitable safeguards in the   Administration of the Religion of Islam (Negri Sembilan) Enactment 2003 to prevent legal tussles between the convertee and the non- Muslim spouse.  This is a bold step by the Ruler of Negeri Sembilan as head of the Islam religion in his state. Hindraf calls on other Malay Rulers to follow the steps taken by the Negeri Sembilan Ruler who acted in the interest of all his subjects and to protect the Muslim religion from negative perception that it is an uncaring religion when it comes to family dispute involving non-Muslim spouses.

Chinese buying houses in US

By Paul Benson | Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015

Why are the Chinese buying up U.S. real estate?

Because they have money in their wallets, an appetite for the good life, and golden ants in their pants.

Without question, the Chinese are the largest international players here in the U.S. housing market. In fact, according to Karen Yan of JinList, Chinese purchases of U.S. residential properties will reach $32 billion ending in March 2015.

That's billion, with a “B.”

So where exactly are the Chinese buying up all of these residential properties?

What's Ulterior Motive to Compromise Sabah Security?

Kota Kinabalu:“If the Indonesian Kalimantan Utara Governor’s revelation is true, one wonders what is the ulterior motive of the federal government to continue to compromise Sabah security and will the Sabah government sit idle do nothing or take some action to protect Sabah security" said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, in a press statement released today.

Why Allow Singapore Secession If Seditious?

Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU :    Sabah opposition lawmaker, Jeffrey Kitingan, has questioned Malaysia's double-standard treatment on calls for Sabah and Sarawak seceeding as seditious when the country allowed Singapore to secede from the Federation in 1965.

“Leaders from Malaya and their Sabah representatives should stop making an excuse of making calls for secession as seditious or against the Constitution to prevent Sabah and Sarawak from leaving the Federation of Malaysia.   Instead of following the Umno BN dictatorial regime, a diplomatic and consultative approach would be a better option to persuade Sabahans and Sarawakians to remain in the Federation” said Kitingan.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 30, 2015: The planned RM1.5 billion development of Tanjung Aru beach under the Tanjung Aru Eco-Development (TAED) plan will drive away tourists as Sabah’s main attraction and selling point is its nature, said the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS).

20-Points and Sabah Rights Arguably Non-Seditious

Kota Kinabalu:     “The federal government and leaders of Malaya should listen to the advice of the learned federal Attorney General that the 20/18-Points are historical facts, part and parcel and fundamental to the formation of Malaysia.  They represent the aspirations of the people of Sabah and Sarawak and, as rightly pointed out, they were constitutional safeguards for Sabah and Sarawak” said Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, Chairman of STAR Sabah, responding to the Attorney General’s speech at the opening of the Sabah and Sarawak Legal Year 2015. 

The Attorney General was spot on in advising how to go about and deal with the grievances of the people in clamouring for the restoration and rights and equal partnership of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia.
