CM will be in Guangzhou from 31 Aug to 2 Sept 2011(en/cn)

Posted: 31 Aug 2011 10:46 PM PDT

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng will lead a 50 person delegates from Penang to Guangzhou, China from 31st August till 2nd September 2011 for the China (Guangzhou) International Tourism Industry Expo 2011. The expo will be held at Poly World Trade Center Expo, Guangzhou from September 2nd – 5th, 2011.The delegation will comprise members from MATTA, Penang Peranakan Mansion, REHDA and Malaysian Association of Hotels and Budget Hotel Association.

The market in Guangzhou and China has vast potential and therefore, the delegation is vigorously promoting Penang there. Over 30 countries including Malaysia will be participating in this Expo with over 1000 booths. There is a need to expand Penang’s presence in the critical China tourism market if Penang wans to transform itself into a destination of choice for tourists. Without the China tourism market, it would be difficult to achieve Penang aspirations of relying on more than 50% of its GDP on services and the tourism sector. Tourism will be not only help Penang achieve its aspirations of being a high-income economy but also allow all sectors to benefit directly as business is generally conducted on a cash basis.

There is a need for the vast Chinese tourism market to discover Penang which is famous not only for its food, but also the seascapes and the beauty of our hills and island. Coupled with a UNESCO World Heritage City in George Town, Penang offers a unique yet a certain familiarity for Chinese tourists who are comfortable in the culture and language. In this expo, The Penang State Tourism Development and Culture office will be promoting Penang together with Tourism Malaysia. The Chief Minister will also officiate the opening of the Malaysia-Penang Pavilion at the expo.

The Chief Minister of Penang YAB Lim Guan Eng and the Penang delegation will pay a courtesy visit to the City Mayor of Zhong San and also top leaders of Guangzhou province to establish goodwill and friendship ties between both states and cities. The Chief Minister will be accompanied by his wife YB Betty Chew and State EXCO members comprising of YB Danny Law and YB Lim Hock Seng.

槟州首席部长新闻秘书张燕芬于2011年9月1日在槟城乔治市发表的文告:

槟州首席部长林冠英从8月31日起至9月2日,率领一个50人代表团,从槟城飞往广州,出席在广州举行的2011年中国广东国际旅游产业博览会。这项博览会将从2011年9月2日至5日,在广州保利世界贸易中心博览馆举行。这次的代表团团员,包括槟州旅游协会(MATTA)、侨生博物馆、马来西亚房地产商公会(REHDA)及大马酒店业者及廉价酒店协会的代表等。

基于广州及中国的市场深具发展潜能,因此这次的代表团将大力借机会促销槟城。共有超过1千个参展摊格、以及包括马来西亚在内的30多个国家参与这次的博览会。要让槟城成为游客的首选地,槟城有必要扩展它在中国这个关键市场的存在。没有中国这个庞大的市场,将会导致槟城难以实现它的"50%国内生产总值以服务及旅游为导向"的愿景。旅游业不只能够协助槟州达致一个高收入经济的愿景,其他的相关领域也将从中受惠,因为旅游的商业模式皆以现金交易为多。

我们有必要让广大的中国市场发现槟城,发现这个不只是因美食闻名,但是也拥有美丽海滩、宜人的高山和风景之岛屿。获得联合国教科文组织颁布世界文化遗产城地位的槟城,更能够给中国游客提供一个独特的旅游体验,在他们所熟悉、舒服的文化和语言环境下旅游的感觉。透过这次的博览会,槟州旅游发展及文化委员会办事处将与马来西亚旅游局密切合作。首长也将会为博览会的《马来西亚槟城展览馆》主持开幕礼。

首长林冠英也将在这次的行程中,率领槟城代表团礼貌拜会中山市长以及广州政府的高级官员,以建立两地之间更密切的友好关系。

与同首长同行者,包括首长夫人周玉清、槟州行政议员罗兴强及林峰成等。

Why is Najib keeping dead wood like Nor Yacob, Azman Mokhtar and etc. They are not serving the rakyat. They seemed to serve themselves and their friends.

This Alwafeer Air matter is serious. It shows that Aman Mokhtar and Nor Yacob are both not fit to hold high office. How can Khazanah went into the share swap under the pretext of helping MAS and at the same time Alwafeer was owing MAS million and million of RM and yet Khazanah slept on it.

This is a clear case of Harapkan Pagar Pagar makan padi.

If Azman Mokhtar and Nor Yacob have any honour, they would tender their resignation and take responsibilities for all the nonsense. YB please screw them in Parliament nice and proper until they could not recognise their own children. Disgusting lot.

YB, I cannot help but being suspicious that there are people in power that be that have interest in Air Asia. First the boost up Air Asia shares while at the same time depressed MAS shares. After the share swap, they proceed by killing Fireflyz – thus getting rid of a competitor. Next, they are going to scrap all MAS routes that duplicate Air Asia. The whole is scheme is nothing more than to protect Air Asia at the expense of MAS and the tax-payers. The speed and the force at which the whole deal was cooked up can only point to people with power.

If this was true then Azman Mokhtar, Idris Jala and Nor Yacob must face serious actions. Should be sacked from Khazanah and the government. They are not fit to look after public affairs.

MACC should be called in to investigate them too. How can they allowed MAS to deliver 3 jumbo jets without proper documentations and then no actions taken to recover debts fro Alwafeer Air. What good are they to remain in their positions. They should be sent to the long kang – that is where they belong.

Azman Mokhtar must immediately resign if this is true.

I was told that this was done during Idris’ tenure as CEO. There were many internal objections but it was railroaded.

In the end the MAS crew were held to “ransom” where they and the aircraft were not allowed to leave the country.

The crew only got back just before Hari Raya.

I agree with Kenny that’s why i do not read any reports by Star or Malaysian Insider on AirAsia because they were trying to insult our intelligence. Too partisan and bent in their desire to prop up ailing companies like AirAsia and AIrAsia X.

If Khazanah wants to invest in aviation industry there are many other airline worth investing. Definitely not this AirAsia X, a company with many who are very close friends of Azman Mokhtar, Rashdan and this Nor Yacob.

We must carry on exposing the ultimate objective of the dirty share swap to bleed MAS and Khazanah. The first thing we have to do is to get rid of the rubbish in Khaznah. Correct the 4th floor rubbish in Khazanah, MAS itself and the Ministry of Finance otherwise we will see the demise of MAS very soon and the name will be changed to AIrAsia or AirAsia XX. Further, there will be many more 4th floor deal to come. Lets stop it at the bud now.

The share swap is a con job from the start. How could Najib allow it? I just don’t understand. Was it because Nazir of CIMB? My advice to Nazir: there are other deals.Stay out of this share swap unless you want to kill your brother, the PM.

PRU-13: PAS sasar 60 kerusi Parlimen

Posted: 01 Sep 2011 02:26 AM PDT

3 Syawal 1432H. [MOD] -
Harakahdaily

KUALA TERENGGANU, 1 Sept: PAS mensasarkan untuk menang di 60 kerusi Parlimen dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang, kata Presidennya, Datuk Seri Tuan Guru Abdul Hadi Awang.

"Strategi 2008, kita nak menang negeri dan kita telah berjaya tadbir tiga negeri. Kali ini disamping nak menang negeri, kita nak tambah kerusi Parlimen," kata beliau di hadapan kira-kira 500 anak perantauan Terengganu.

Majlis perjumpaan Hari Raya ini diadakan di Dewan Datuk Wan Mutalib, Komplek PAS Kuala Terengganu.

Turut menyertai majlis itu adalah pimpinan PAS Terengganu yang dipimpin pesuruhjayanya Mohamad Abdul Wahid Endut.

Seluruh penyokong PAS yang pulang bereya di Terengganu berkumpul di situ bersama keluarga masing-masing.

Di samping menyediakan juadah raya, kanak-kanak diberikan duit raya yang disampaikan oleh Abdul Wahid.

Dalam pilihan raya umum 2008, pemimpin PAS menjadi pemimpin tiga negeri iaitu Kelantan, Kedah dan Perak namun Perak jatuh kembali apabila dirampas melalui pembelian tiga Adun Pakatan.

Untuk pilihan raya akan datang, kata Abdul Hadi, PAS mensasarkan untuk mengambil 25 daripada 75 kerusi yang dimiliki oleh Umno sekarang.

"Kita yakin, jika kita mendapat 60 kerusi, sokongan seluruh masyarakat negara akan berpaling kepada PAS dan Pakatan dari Umno dan BN sekarang," katanya.

Dalam usaha untuk mendapat kerusi itu, PAS katanya memerlukan sokongan pengundi Islam dan Melayu sebagai teras.

"Kalau nak undi -slam kena fahami hati budi Melayu melalui pendekatandakwah, budi perkerti dan pujukan...saya yakin mereka boleh berubah.

"Perlu ambil masa, sabar..pujuk mereka.. Perkenal Islam melalui contoh yang baik. Misalnya bila tidak ada seorang pun wakil rakyat PAS yang boleh dibeli, orang bukan Islam beri sokongan kepada kitan," kata Abdul Hadi.

Idham Care rancang bina Kompleks Pendidikan berkonsep senibina Cina.

PARIT BUNTAR, 1 Sept.:-Idham Care akan melancarkan secara rasmi skim wakaf tanah di sebidang tanah seluas 4 ekar di Titi Serong dengan harga wakaf RM 10 sekaki persegi pada Ahad 25 september ini, demikian seperti yang diumumkan oleh Pengerusi Idham Care dalam Facebooknya kelmarin.

Tanah tersebut adalah bagi membina sebuah pusat pendidikan yang diperkenalkan oleh Drs. Khalil dalam FB nya untuk kali pertama dengan nama Kompleks Pendidikan Darul Anwar yang akan dikelolakan sepenuhnya oleh NGO Idham Care.

Menurutnya yang juga merupakan ADUN Titi Serong bahawa kutipan wakaf tanah tersebut disekitar KL telah bermula sejak 25 Ramadhan lepas.

Kompleks ini antaranya akan mengandungi Maahad Tahfiz Darul Anwar dan Pusat Penjagaan Anak Yatim & Saudara Baru Ummu Aiman.

Harapan beliau dalam FB nya itu supaya siapnya kompleks ini dalam tempoh 2 tahun akan datang. Beliau juga mendoakan semuga Allah mempermudahkan kerja yang telah bermula pada bulan Ramdhan yang mulia.

"Semuga dengan rahmat dan kemulian Ramadhan menyaksikan sebuah kompleks yang bercirikan senibina Cina seperti surau, pejabat dan pintu gerbang " katanya.

Semasa dihubungi beliau memaklumkan usaha untuk membina kompleks ini diharapkan mendapat sokongan dari semua pihak khususnya dalam soal pengumpulan dana yang berjumlah yang besar yang mungkin kos yang mencecah lebih RM 3 juta.

"Saya berharap dalam tempoh terdekat segala persiapan untuk majlis pecah tanah dan pelancaran rasmi skim wakaf itu akan berjalan dengan lancar" Katanya.

Mengenai ciri sebina Cina yang disebutkan dalan FB nya beliau menjelaskan usaha ini adalah untuk menarik minat dan menghilang rasa curiga orang Cina kepada agama Islam yang dianggap sebagai agama orang Melayu.

"Lagipun kita sudah biasa melihat banyak mesjid dan surau menggunakan konsep senibina Arab-Turki, Apalagi tidak ada bentuk khusus yang disebutkan oleh Rasulullah dalam soal membina mesjid atau surau, kerana itu apalah salahnya saya merperbanyakkan koleksi rumah ibadah orang Islam dengan konsep senibina Cina" jelasnya.

"Imej utama bagi kompleks ini ialah Surau yang boleh menampung jemaah sekitar 500 orang dengan bercirikan senibina Cina. Begitu juga pintu gebang dan bangunan pejabat yang juga akan menggunakan konsep yang sama" Jelasnya.

Beliau juga mengharapkan sesiapa yang ingin menyumbang dan membeli tanah wakaf tersebut boleh menghubungi beliau di no talipon 019-4759697, dan sumbangan boleh disalurkan ke akaun Maybank atas nama IDHAM CARE No. Akaun : 558417102650.

Kerajaan China Tidak Melarang Masyarakat Islam di Xinjiang Berpuasa

Posted: 31 Aug 2011 08:23 AM PDT

CRI/-

Bulan Ramadan merupakan bulan yang paling mulia bagi semua masyarakat Islam di seluruh dunia. Di China pula, lebih 20 juta penduduk yang beragama Islam menunaikan ibadah puasa dan bersolat tarawih dalam bulan ini. Bagaimanapun, Ramadan yang suci juga dipolitikkan oleh sebahagian kumpulan antikerajaan China di luar negara yang menganggap mereka mewakili masyarakat Islam di Wilayah Autonomi Uygur Xinjiang China. Pada 8 Ogos lalu, Utusan Malaysia menerbitkan rencana dari Kongres Sedunia Uygur yang mengkritik kerajaan China melarang mesyarakat Islam di Urumuqi menjalankan sebarang aktiviti keagamaan. Restoran halal milik etnik Uygur pula dituntut buka pada siang hari.

Sebuah restoran halal di Urumqi, Xinjiang tidak membuka perniagaan pada bulan Ramadan. Pada pintunya dilekatkan notis yang bermaksud "Minta maaf, kami tidak berniaga pada bulan Ramadan".

Baiertiyar, seorang pegawai Jawatankuasa Agama di Wilayah Autonomi Uygur Xinjiang menafikan khabar angin itu dengan mengatakan bahawa, sebagai seorang yang beragama Islam, kakitangan mereka setiap hari telah berkunjung ke puluhan masjid tempatan untuk bersolat dan berbuka puasa bersama-sama masyarakat Islam tempatan. Setiap malam ribuan yang berbuka puasa bersama. Jika benar seperti apa yang didakwa oleh Kongres Sedunia Uygur, sesiapa pun yang mahu masuk ke masjid perlu menunjukkan kad pengenalan dan mendaftar dulu, ini akan menggunakan waktu begitu panjang dan tidak mungkin berlaku. Penduduk etnik Uygur tempatan pula menyatakan, mereka tidak pernah mendengar maklumat tersebut di Urumqi.

Jadi, sumber maklumat Kongres Sedunia Uygur dari mana? Pertubuhan ini yang beribu pejabat di Jerman, merupakan organisasi yang disusun semula dengan beberapa kumpulan pemisah Xinjiang di luar negara, termasuk beberapa kumpulan yang telah disifatkan sebagai kumpulan keganasan oleh masyarakat antarabangsa. Setelah berlakunya peristiwa 11 september, kumpulan-kumpulan tersebut takut menjadi sasaran dalam perang antikeganasan dan menyusun semula pertubuhan dan dikenali dengan nama Kongres sedunia Uygur. Pertubuhan ini mendalangi peristiwa 5 Julai yang berlaku di Xinjiang pada tahun 2009 dan mengakibatkan 197 orang terbunuh. Menjejaskan keamanan dan keharmonian di Xinjiang merupakan kaedah mereka untuk mendapat perhatian masyarakat antarabangsa, khususnya negara barat dan juga mendapat sokongan dana dari sesepihak.

Untuk mengetahui keadaan benar di Xinjiang, China mengalu-alukan rakan dari masyarakat Islam melawat ke Xinjiang dan menengok dengan mata sendiri. Kebetulan CRI sedang menganjurkan aktiviti "Xinjiang dalam Lensa Kamera", mengundang wartawan dari masyarakat Islam di Afrika dan Asia, termasuk wartawan dari "Bernama" Malaysia untuk membuat liputan ke Xinjiang. Kami berharap gambar-gambar yang diambil oleh mereka di Xinjiang dapat membantu anda memahami Xinjiang yang sebenar.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri Disambut Meriah oleh 10 Etnik Minoriti Xinjiang yang Beragama Islam

Posted: 31 Aug 2011 08:14 AM PDT

2 Syawal 1432H. [MOD] -

Hari Raya Aidilfitri disambut dengan meriah di Wilayah Autonomi Uygur Xinjiang, China yang mempunyai 11 juta penduduk beragama Islam. Penduduk beragama Islam yang terdiri daripada 10 etnik minoriti di Xinjiang menikmati dua hari cuti sempena Hari Raya Aidilfitri yang jatuh pada 31 Ogos ini.

Di bandar Urumqi, ibu kota Wilayah Autonomi Uygur Xinjiang, pasar raya tempatan dibanjiri para pelanggan yang datang membeli kuih-muih tradisional dan barangan kegunaan untuk menyambut hari raya. Seorang pelanggan memberitahu wartawan: "Kami amat berpuas hati dengan pasar raya ini kerana semua barang dapat dibeli di sini. Saya bersyukur kerana gaji semakin meningkat dan rezeki pun bertambah murah."

Syarikat Aerman kini mengusahakan rangkaian pasar raya makanan halal yang paling besar di Xinjiang. Sebulan sebelum hari raya, pasar raya mula membuat persiapan untuk menyediakan lebih 20 ribu jenis barangan serta 15 ribu jenis makanan untuk memenuhi permintaan pelanggan Islam. Petugas pasar raya Aerman berkata: "Bekalan kuih-muih tradisional lebih banyak berbanding dengan Hari Raya pada tahun lepas. Ini kerana pihak pengeluar telah meningkatkan jumlah pengeluaran sempena sambutan hari raya. Maka, harganya pun lebih rendah berbanding masa dahulu."

Sambutan Hari Raya Aidilfitri pada tahun ini membawa lebih banyak kebahagiaan kepada penduduk Islam Xinjiang yang dapat merayakannya di rumah baharu. Encik Ma Xuejun, pemilik sebuah restoran kecil di Xinjiang antara seorang penduduk tempatan yang baru berpindah ke rumah baharu atas inisiatif kerajaan yang memperbaiki penginapan penduduk. Beliau memberitahu wartawan: "Berbanding dengan masa dahulu, rumah sekarang memang lebih baik, bukan sahaja besar, tetapi juga kawasan perumahannya lebih bersih. Kami berasa amat gembira kerana boleh menjamu tetamu pada Hari Raya Aidilfitri di rumah baharu. CRI/-

Malaysian Solution: Always a Bad Idea

Posted: 01 Sep 2011 02:02 AM PDT

From www.abc.net
by Julian Burnside

The High Court ruled yesterday that the Malaysian Solution was not lawful.

The majority decision turns on the nature of Australia’s obligations under the Refugees Convention. They held that, if Australia sends boat people away without considering their claim for protection, it can only do so if the receiving country offers the same protection as Australia is obliged to offer. The result is entirely consistent with the spirit of the Refugees Convention, which was designed to spread the burden of refugee flows, rather than leaving them to be borne by countries adjacent to trouble spots.

Leave aside the politics of it, the Malaysian Solution was always a bad idea. We can assume that the Australian Government intended to treat the 4,000 refugees resettled from Malaysia as part of our offshore resettlement quota. It presently offsets informal boat arrivals against the offshore resettlement quota. Accordingly the Malaysian arrangement was neutral on total refugee arrival rates. So it was not going to reduce the number of refugees received in Australia each year, but it was going to cost the Australian taxpayer about $200 million. Weird economics.

Paradoxically, the arrangement may have constituted a significant pull factor, at least for a time. The reason for this is that Malaysia does not allow refugees to work. The deal with Malaysia would have notionally allowed transferees to work. Refugees currently living in Malaysia waiting for resettlement would have had a powerful incentive to try to get to Australia in order to be transferred back to Malaysia and receive work rights. For a person who faces the prospect of waiting up to 15 years before being resettled, the incentive to act this way would have been very strong. If that pull factor had in fact operated, it is likely that the quota of 800 transferees would have filled pretty quickly, and would have achieved very little for Australia apart from adding significantly to the cost of deterring boat arrivals. If, as a result, Australia and Malaysia increased the quota under the arrangement, then the cost would have increased proportionally, but so would the pull factor.

So what should be done now?

At present, Australia has a system of indefinite mandatory detention of boat people. The detention is mandatory, because the Migration Act requires that non-citizens without a visa must be detained and must remain in detention until given a visa or until removed from Australia. While the Minister has a discretion about the mode of detention, detention remains mandatory, and even “community detention” falls far short of actual freedom.

Detention is indefinite because it has no fixed end point: detention continues until the person receives a visa (which may take years) or until they are removed from Australia. Removal from Australia may not happen until after years of processing, and in some cases turns out to be impossible – for example, where a person is stateless. Where a person is refused a visa but cannot be removed from Australia, the High Court decision of al Kateb says that they may be held in detention for the rest of their life, notwithstanding that they have not committed any offence.

Changing policy in an attempt to deter boat people from seeking entry to Australia rests on several important assumptions. The first is that the fear of what Australia might do to them exceeds the fear from which they are fleeing. That proposition is quite implausible. In the past 15 years, most boat arrivals have been Afghan Hazaras fleeing the Taliban, Iraquis fleeing Saddam Hussein, Iranians fleeing the theocracy in that country, and Tamils fleeing genocide in Sri Lanka. Not surprisingly, a very high percentage (approximately 80-95 per cent) of boat people ultimately establish an entitlement to protection.

The second assumption is that asylum seekers have the wherewithal to research the treatment they are likely to receive if they seek safety in Australia. There is no evidence to suggest that people desperate enough to take the risks associated with unauthorised arrival in Australia have ever had the time or resources to investigate the many changes in Australia’s policy settings concerning asylum seekers.

The third assumption, which is bound up with the second, is that people smugglers are a reliable source of information for their passengers. It is in the highest degree unlikely that people smugglers reveal candidly to their customers that they face mandatory detention, or removal to Malaysia, or any other hardship which the government of the day seeks to impose as a deterrent.

It is therefore difficult to assume that anything done by Australia will make any appreciable difference to the arrival rate of boat people.

If things are left as they are, Australia will continue to face the following problems associated with the present system: needless infliction of mental harm on detainees and damage to Australia’s reputation as a nation which cares about human rights. And don’t forget the huge cost: mandatory detention costs us about $1 billion a year.

There is simply no merit in the idea of detaining people indefinitely just because they have arrived in Australia by boat. Asylum seekers also arrive by air: typically they arrive on short-term visas such as business, tourist or student visas. Once in Australia, they apply for asylum. Once their initial visa expires, they are given a bridging visa pending assessment of their claim for asylum. This may take years, but they remain in the community while it happens. Most of these asylum claims fail on the merits (only about 20 per cent succeed). By contrast, about 80-90 per cent of boat arrivals ultimately succeed in their claim for asylum, but they are detained during the entire process.

The arrival rate of asylum seekers who come by air is two or three times greater than the arrival rate of boat people.

A question inevitably arises: what is the justification for detaining boat people indefinitely, at vast expense, when most of them will ultimately succeed in their claim for protection but will be damaged more or less severely by the process? To this question, it seems that the only genuine answer is an appeal to political advantage.

There was one interesting feature of the Malaysian deal. Australia negotiated an arrangement with Malaysia which involved minimal detention before the transferees were to be released into the community with work rights. What a cracking idea! If Australia capped initial detention to just a month for health and security checks, overcrowding in detention would be solved instantly; the cost of operating the detention system would reduce dramatically; and the foreseeable mental harm which is caused by indefinite detention would stop.

It is not clear why the Australian Government thinks it necessary or desirable to detain boat people indefinitely when they do not think it necessary or desirable for Malaysia to detain those same boat people (except for preliminary health and security checks), and do not think it necessary or desirable to detain asylum seekers who come to Australia by plane.

The big question is whether the Government or the Opposition can forget about populism and point scoring, and see their way clear to solving the detention problem by acting decently: they could save our reputation and our taxes.

Perutusan Hari Kemerdekaan ke 54; 31 Ogos 2011 “Memaknai Jiwa Merdeka”

Posted: 01 Sep 2011 01:56 AM PDT

Assalamualaikum wbt, Salam Sejahtera dan Salam Kemerdakaan! Tanggal 31 Ogos 2011 adalah hari baru untuk kita lakarkan kemerdekaan negara. Tahun 1957 yang lalu, laungan Merdeka! bergema dan disambut dengan suara rakyat yang ternyata amat menghargai sebuah kemerdekaan dan kebebasan di dalam negara sendiri. Kemerdekaan yang diburu adalah kebebasan hati.

Bukan kemerdekaan yang hanya sekadar mengibarkan Jalur Gemilang. Seharusnya rakyat mesti dipupuk untuk melahirkan jiwa merdeka. Justeru, marilah kita sama-sama memaknai kemerdekaan ini dengan memerdekakan sepenuhnya jiwa kita dari cengkaman dan kezaliman demi membina negara yang aman harmoni antara semua bangsa. Kemerdekaan tidak semestinya ditafsirkan sebagai bebas dari tekanan dan cengkaman penjajah. Malah ianya merangkumi segala aspek kehidupan, politik, ekonomi, moral dan masyarakat.

Kemerdekaan ini juga harus menjadi asas keterbukaan khususnya kepada golongan muda yang bakal mewarisi pentadbiran negara suatu masa nanti. Sehubungan dengan itu, negara sepatutnya mampu menyediakan prasarana ekonomi agar kekayaan negara dapat dikongsi bersama tanpa membataskan kedudukan bangsa dan agama.

Rakyat terus ditindas dengan desakan dan tekanan sara hidup yang membebankan, sedangkan pemimpin yang ada duduk gah di atas dengan sewenangnya membelanjakan hasil negara untuk kepentingan tertentu. Saban hari kita dipinta untuk "berkorban" dan ubah gaya hidup dalam menampung
