Pernahkah wewenang Malaysia merancang kualiti ilmuwan termasuk agamawan?

Posted: 10 May 2012 09:06 AM PDT

HARI PEKERJA disambut saban tahun. Apabila negara luar menyambut HARI PEKERJA atau LABOUR's DAY pada tanggal 1Mei. Sudah tentu negara Malaysia akan ikut menyambut. Apa yang tidak kita sambut mengikut trend yang di pelopori oleh orang lain. Tidak salah mengikut yang baik. Beri sokongan yang baik. Bahkan patut memberi sokongan perkara baik yang memberi manfaat dan mengurang mudharat kepada umat manusia....

Namun setelah hampir 55tahun merdeka sepatutnya minda warga Malaysia sudah jauh ke depan dan mampu bukan sekadar pengikut trend tetapi mampu melonjakkan paradigma ke tahap yang lebih maju dan mempamerkan jati diri. Malaysia sepatut menjadi trend SETTER. Malaysia sepatutnya boleh meneraju bukan sentiasa diteraju oleh acuan penjajah silam mahupun penjajah moden bersifat siber, budaya dan peluntur identiti diri bangsa.

   Kenapa tidak Malaysia melahirkan satu budaya maju yang bercirikan kepelbagaian tetapi mampu dikemudikan oleh kerangka tauhid yang murunah bersifat inklusif sebagai terjemahan rahmatan lil 'alamin yang tertera jelas dalam manual induk rujukan utama insan untuk kejayaan hidup dunia dan akhirat? Bukankah itu yang akan menjamin kemakmuran dan keharmonian? Bukankah itu yang akan menjulang martabat insan ke tahap yang sewajarnya?
    
       Tidakkah itu yang dimahukan para pekerja bergelar modal insan, yakni sumber tenaga yang mempunyai roh dan akal selain jasad yang nampak dan mampu bekerja? Bukankah insan yang diterima sebagai pekerja atau modal insan ini pelaburan paling utama dan kritikal untuk menjayakan mana-mana keusahawanan, perniagaan atau apa sahaja usaha untuk mendatangkan hasil pendapatan kepada organisasi atau syarikat.
Ya, memang mesin yang mahal dan canggih dan terkini adalah modal yang penting dan boleh berkeupayaan untuk memberi pulangan besar kepada peniaga.Namun peralatan dan segala modal yang bersifat fizikal semata-mata perlu digunakan dengan berkesan dan cekap oleh manusia yang berbekal sifat keinsanan. Sifat keinsanan yang digilap dan segar bugar akan menghasilkan produktiviti yang diidamkan. Sebaliknya manusia yang terhakis sifat keinsanan akan dijangkiti penyakit kehaiwanan yang boleh merugikan pengusaha dengan sikap dan tabiat yang mampu merosakkan modal mesin/ jentera peralatan justeru merugikan si peniaga.

Seperti mesin dan peralatan perlu ada penyengaraan/maintenance untuk mempastikan sistem berjalan dengan lancar. Perlu diservis berkala.Perlu dijadualkan dengan sengaja dan diperuntukkan masa dan kos. Manusia sebagai makhluk paling sofistikated dan kompleks yang dicipta oleh AL KHALIQ sudah tentulah memerlukan perancangan khas untuk mempastikan dirinya boleh berfungsi dengan baik dan produktif.
  Insan yang mempunyai elemen fizikal memerlu tuntutan fizikal seperti makan,minum, pakaian, tempat tinggal. Ia memerlukan akal yang diserviskan dengan input yang baik dengan membaca, berdiskusi, majlis ilmu dan pemerhatian alam serta masa untuk mengintegrasikan segala insiden dan pengalamannya untuk melorongkan dirinya ke sesuatu arah yang terfokus.

Begitu juga dengan elemen spiritualnya yang menjadi 'power house' atau penjana kekuatan sekira dikembang dan dibangunkan dengan prosedur yang betul.Inilah yang boleh menjadi sesorang itu berjaya mencapai tahap pencapaian luar biasa atau hanya mediocre. Inilah kunci kepada keuntungan maksima sesbuah syarikat atau organisasi kerana sifat amanah, berintegriti, berjiwa besar dan futuristik serta akhirat-sentrik akan membawa arus kemajuan dan pembangunan .

Inilah yang menjadi fokus dan asas formula pembangunan modal insan kerajaan Selangor S.P.I.E.S

Will Tun Mohammad Hanif Omar’s Appointment Be A Whitewash Of Police Brutality On Peaceful Demonstrators (en/bm/cn)?

Posted: 09 May 2012 07:59 PM PDT

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 10.5.2012.

Will Tun Mohammad Hanif Omar's Appointment Be A Whitewash Of Police Brutality On Peaceful Demonstrators, A Massive Cover-Up Of The Sufferings Of The Victims Or A Pretext To Justify BN's Wild Lies That Bersih 3.0 Was A Coup D’état Attempt.

The appointment of former inspector-general of police Tun Mohamad Hanif Omar to head of the independent panel to probe incidents of violence during the Bersih 3.0 rally has raised deep public concerns that the investigation will either be a whitewash of police brutality on peaceful demonstrators, a massive cover-up of the sufferings of the victims or a pretext to justify BN's wild lies that Bersih 3.0 was a coup d’état attempt.

Hanif, who is now Genting Malaysia Bhd Deputy Chair, had claimed that communist sympathizers were involved in the Bersih 3.0 rally, and supported Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s claim that the Bersih 3.0 rally was an attempt to overthrow the government. Hanif further stated that the tactics of using provocateurs to cause the demonstrators to clash with police and to bring children along in the hope they would get injured were tactics learnt from past pro-communist demonstrations.

How can Datuk Seri Najib Razak consider Hanif as a "credible, experienced and respectable" individual that ensures its investigation panel is independent and unbiased, when Hanif has adopted such a prejudiced and partisan stand against the Bersih 3.0 rally as an attempt to overthrow the government? What makes those claims of a coup d'tat by Najib and Hanif most ridiculous is that both of them ignored the fact that six local pressmen and about 12 photographers and journalists from the foreign media were reportedly assaulted during the fracas on April 28 Bersih 3.0 rally by police.

To add insult to injury, Hanif is now heading the investigation panel raising doubts about the integrity, reliability and credibility of its findings. As a former Inspector-General of Police, Hanif is first and foremost disqualified from serving on the investigation panel due to this conflict of interest as the police is being accused. Secondly, by publicly condemning Bersih, Hanif's prejudiced bias would also disqualify him to serve on the investigation panel. Finally, by linking Bersih to communism, Hanif is still fighting yesterday's long-concluded wars, making the outcome of these investigations a foregone conclusion.

For these reasons, the Prime Minister should try to salvage or restore some credibility and public confidence as well as renew faith that "justice will not only be done but be seen to be done" by replacing Hanif with an independent, apolitical, unbiased and an upright person of integrity.

Kenyataan Akhbar oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP dan Ahli Parlimen Bagan Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 10.5.2012

Adakah Perlantikan Tun Mohammad Hanif Omar Itu Akan Mengaburkan Kebenaran Keganasan Polis Atas Peserta Yang Berhimpun Secara Aman, Menutup Penderitaan Mangsa-Mangsa Ataupun Menjadi Alasan Untuk Mewajarkan Penipuan BN Bahawa Bersih 3.0 Merupakan Cubaan Coup D’état?

Perlantikan mantan ketua polis negara Tun Mohammad Hanif Omar sebagai ketua panel penasihat bebas untuk menyiasat insiden keganasan semasa perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 telah menimbulkan kebimbangan rakyat dan persoalan sama ada siasatan ini akan mengaburkan kebenaran keganasan polis atas peserta yang berhimpun secara aman, menutup penderitaan mangsa-mangsa ataupun menjadi alasan untuk mewajarkan penipuan BN bahawa Bersih 3.0 merupakan cubaan coup d’état.

Hanif, yang kini menjadi timbalan pengerusi Genting Malaysia Bhd, telah mendakwa bahawa golongan pro-komunis telah terlibat dalam perhimpunan Bersih 3.0, dan telah menyokong dakwaan Perdana Menteri Najib Abdul Razak bahawa perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 adalah cubaan untuk menggulingkan kerajaan. Hanif telah menambah bahawa taktik menggunakan dalang pencetus provokasi untuk menyebabkan pertelingkahan dengan polis serta membawa kanak-kanak bersama dalam harapan mereka akan dicederakan merupakan taktik yang dipelajari oleh demonstrasi pro-komunis dahulu.

Bagaimana Dato' Sri Najib Razak boleh menganggap Hanif sebagai seorang individu yang "kredibel, berpengalaman dan dihormati" yang akan memastikan panel siasatan itu bersih dan tidak berat sebelah, apabila Hanif sudah pun mengambil pendirian yang prejudis dan partisan terhadap perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 sebagai cubaan untuk menggulingkan kerajaan? Yang tidak masuk akalnya, dakwaan coup d’état oleh Najib dan Hanif itu telah mengabaikan hakikat bahawa enam wartawan tempatan dan 12 jurugambar dan wartawan media asing telah dilaporkan dipukul oleh polis semasa perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 pada 28 April.

Yang lebih teruknya, Hanif kini dilantik untuk mengetuai panel siasatan, lantas menimbulkan keraguan terhadap integriti, kepercayaan dan kredibiliti hasil siasatannya. Sebagai mantan ketua polis negara, Hanif seharusnya dikecualikan daripada menjadi ahli panel siasatan atas sebab konflik kepentingan kerana yang dituduh dalam kes ini adalah pihak polis. Kedua, dengan mengutuk Bersih secara terbuka, prejudis Hanif yang berat sebelah juga harus mengecualikannya daripada panel tersebut. Akhirnya, dengan mengaitkan Bersih dengan komunis, Hanif masih lagi melawan musuh zaman dahulu, serta membuatkan hasil siasatan ini satu perkara yang sudah pasti.

Untuk sebab-sebab ini, Perdana Menteri harus menyelamatkan atau memulihkan kredibiliti dan keyakinan umum bahawa "keadilan tidak hanya dilakukan tetapi juga dilihat sebagai dilakukan" dengan menggantikan Hanif dengan seorang yang bebas, tidak terlibat dalam politik, tidak berat sebelah dan seorang yang tegak berintegriti.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2012年5月10日,在吉隆坡发表声明:

敦莫哈末哈聂夫奥玛受委率领独立调查团,是不是当局企图漂白警方对付和平集会者的暴力、掩饰受害者所承受的痛苦,或是以此找藉口,合理化国阵指净选盟3.0企图推翻民选政府的谎言?

前任全国总警长敦莫哈末哈聂夫受委领导独立调查团,以彻查净选盟3.0大集会的暴力事件,这项委任引起公众的关注,让人怀疑当局是不是企图漂白警方对付和平集会者的暴力、掩饰受害者所承受的痛苦,或是以此找藉口,合理化国阵指净选盟3.0企图推翻民选政府的谎言?

哈聂夫目前是云顶马来西亚有限公司的副主席,他曾指责净选盟3.0集会的参与者是共产党员的同情者,并支持首相纳吉的说法,指净选盟3.0企图推翻民选政府。哈聂夫还说,利用煽动分子鼓动示威者与警方发生冲突、携带小孩希望他们受伤的伎俩,都是从前亲共产党员示威时采用的策略。

在哈聂夫对净选盟持有如此偏见、认为净选盟3.0是企图推翻政府的集会,拿督斯里纳吉怎么可以视哈聂夫为"有公信力、有经验及受尊敬"的人士,确保有关独立调查团是独立、不偏不倚的?纳吉和哈聂夫的"推翻政府论" 最荒谬之处就是,他们完全忽略六名记者、12名摄影记者及外国媒体新闻从业员在428当天被警方使用暴力对待的事实。

更糟的是,独立调查团以哈聂夫为首,让它怀疑其报告的廉正、可信度及公信力。身为前任全国总警长,哈聂夫首先就没有资格受任成为这个调查团的成员,因为警方被指责,这变成直接的利益冲突。其二、哈聂夫公开谴责净选盟,既然他持有偏见,也没有资格成为调查团成员。最后,他指责净选盟与共产党有关联,既然他还活在已经从前那场已经总结的战争中,那么,我们可以预见这项调查工作的结果。

基于上述种种原因,首相应该撤换哈聂夫,另外委任一个独立、无党派、无偏见、正直的人士,以抢救或恢复一些公信力、公众信心以及让人相信"正义必须被实现,而且要以看得见的方式实现。"

BN Setting The Minimum Monthly Wage Of RM900 In Peninsular Malaysia And RM800 In Sabah And Sarawak Is Not The Right Thing To Do Is Wrong As It Is Below The Poverty Line Indicator(PLI) For Sabah & Sarawak.(en/cn)

Posted: 09 May 2012 07:46 PM PDT

Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 8.5.2012.

BN Setting The Minimum Monthly Wage Of RM900 In Peninsular Malaysia And RM800 In Sabah And Sarawak Is Not The Right Thing To Do Is Wrong As It Is Below The Poverty Line Indicator(PLI) For Sabah & Sarawak.

Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib Tun Razak's announcement of a floor wage for the private sector at RM900 per month for workers in the Peninsular and RM800 per month for those in Sabah and Sarawak as the "right thing to do", is wrong as it is blow the poverty line for Sabah & Sarawak. Whilst DAP agrees with Najib that getting the correct balance between guaranteeing workers a decent wage and employers' needs, BN must have lost it sense of balance to fix the minimum monthly wage below the PLI of RM830 per month for Sarawak and RM960 per month for Sabah.(9th Malaysia Plan)

Najib should sack his senior economic advisors if he still believes that the minimum monthly wage had considered factors proposed by the World Bank such as cost of living, the poverty line index and unemployment rate. With productivity rising by 6.7 per cent annually but real wages going up by just 2.6 per cent each year, BN's proposed minimum monthly wage is grossly insufficient as it is lower than Pakatan Rakyat's RM 1,100 minimum take-home pay every month, which is inclusive of all fixed allowances but excluding over-time payments.

BN Federal Government's minimum monthly wage of RM 900 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM 800 in Sabah and Sarawak is insufficient as it is not only discriminatory against workers but demonstrates a glaring lack of commitment by BN to reduce poverty when it is far below the poverty line for East Malaysia.

This is becase the cost of living in Sabah and Sarawak is much higher compared to the Peninsular, which has a PLI of RM720 per month. In other words, even if the RM800 per month minimum wage is implemented in Sabah and Sarawak, it will still be far below the PLI as defined by the Malaysian Government.

In addition to the proposed PR minimum wage of RM1,100 that will be able to meet the basic needs of workers across the country, we must also be aware that Malaysia is fast-becoming an indebted nation where families spend everything and beyond what they earn. For example, Bank Negara's Annual Report 2010 revealed that Malaysia's household debt at the end of 2010 was RM 581 billion or 76 per cent of GDP, thus giving us the dubious honour of having the second-highest level of household debt in Asia, after South Korea.

In addition, the Malaysian household debt service ratio stood at 47.8 per cent in 2010, meaning that nearly half of the average family's income goes to repaying debts. As a rule, banks would not lend money to those whose total servicing of loans exceeded one third of their income. In other words, we are spiralling into an indebted nation.

Thus, even a minimum wage is not enough without two important considerations. Firstly, the minimum wage quantum must be indexed to the Consumer Price Index, so that it is adjusted with the rate of inflation. This will ensure that standard of living and quality of life will be protected and maintained.

Secondly, increasing the livelihood of Malaysians also requires an holistic economic strategy that is targetted at raising disposable income. In other words, we need to put more money into people's pockets. However, this cannot be done just by setting a minimum wage. In the larger picture, we have to address the influx of unskilled foreign workers and their wage-suppressing effect, upgrade skills and productivity of our local workforce and also increase the participation of women in the workforce.

Besides that, the government must also invest in key sectors such as public transport, housing and healthcare. If cost of living is lower, disposable income will automatically increase. This concept is very simple – if it costs less to commute, buy a house and pay medical bills, then everyone will have more money. Imagine if every Malaysian had just RM10 extra every day, the economic multiplier effect will result in RM280 million extra circulating in the economy every day. That is no small amount. In other words, if we can increase the purchasing power of our people especially the lower income groups with a meaningful minimum monthly wage of RM1,100 inclusive of allowances, we will be able to increase domestic demand and create a healthier economy for all Malaysians.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2012年5月8日在吉隆坡发表声明:

国阵联邦政府制定的马来半岛每月最低薪资900令吉以及沙巴、砂拉越两州每月最低薪资800令吉是不正确的,因为这个最低薪资远远不及东马的贫穷水平线。

首相拿督斯里敦拉萨宣布说马来半岛每月最低薪资900令吉以及沙巴、砂拉越两州每月最低薪资800令吉是"正确的事",这是不确实的,因为这个最低薪资远远不及东马的贫穷水平线。民主行动党同意,纳吉试图在保障工人合理薪资及雇主的需要之间取得平衡点,但是,把最低薪资设定在砂州贫穷线830令吉及沙巴州贫穷线960令吉(大马第九计划)之下,国阵肯定是失去了平衡点。

纳吉如果相信每月最低薪金已经考虑了世界银行所建议的生活水平、贫穷线及失业率,他应该革除他的经济顾问。随着生产率每年上升6.7%,而工资每年上升2.6%,国阵的最低薪资是不足够的,它比民联的1100令吉扣税后实得工资还低。这包括所有固定津贴,但是不包括超时工资。

国阵联邦政府制定的马来半岛每月最低薪资900令吉以及沙巴、砂拉越两州每月最低薪资800令吉是不足够的,因为这不只是对工人的歧视,也显示国阵没有诚意扫除贫穷,因为这个最低薪资远远不及东马的贫穷水平线。

这是因为这两个州属的生活水平比马来半岛还高,马来半岛的贫穷线为每月720令吉。换句话说,就算在沙砂两州推行每月800令吉最低薪资,它还是远远不及马来西亚政府订下的贫穷水平线。

除了民联所提议的最低薪资1100令吉能够满足全国工人的基本需求,我们也要了解到,马来西亚已经快速成为举债国,几乎每个家庭的花费都超出他们所赚的。例如,2010年国家银行年度报告指出,马来西亚的家庭债务在2010年底是5810亿令吉或占国民生产总值的76%,让我们成为亚洲继韩国之后,家庭债务第二高的国家。

此外,我国的家庭债务偿债比率在2010年为47.8%, 意味着每个家庭平均有一半的收入是用来还债的。一般上,银行不会借钱给那些债务超过收入三分之一的人士。换句话说,我们正渐渐成为过度举债的国家。

因此,如果不考虑两个要素,单单拥有最低薪资是不够的。第一、最低薪资必须能够反映消费人指数。因此它必须依据通膨率调整。这才能够确保这项政策有助于保障及维持人民的生活水平及素质。

第二,随着马来西亚人民生活的提升,我们必须推出全方位的经济政策,以提高可支配收入为目标。换句话说,我们需要把钱放入人民的口袋。但是,这不能 只是单靠制定最低薪资。长远来说,我们必须解决无技能外劳涌入以及他们压低工资的影响。我们必须提升本地员工的技能及生产力、同时增加女性在工作的参与此外,政府也必须投资在关键领域如公共交通、房屋及保健。如果生活水平降低、可支配收入自然会增加。这个概念很简单,如果人民在交通、房屋及医药方面的花 费减少,那么每个人自然会有多一点钱。让我们想像,如果每个马来西亚人每天都多花10令吉,每天将会有额外的2亿8000万令吉在流通,产生经济倍增效 应。这不是一笔小数目。如果我们可以通过1100令吉最低薪金(包含各种津贴)增加人民的购买能力,特别是低收入群,我们将能够创造内需,为全民打造更健康的经济。

If you want to defend the Idiotic Management in MAS, please use facts to defend them like what YB did in his reply to you. Please learn how to defend your master. If cannot do it with facts please shut up and lick their ball till kingdom comes.

The facts remain the AA infiltrators must be out of MAS. MAS staffs will get them out as soon as possible. Life is not going to be easy for them in MAS. If they have self respect and pride, they will quietly FO from MAS before being thrown out in disgrace. Nanny Rashdan will be out in disgrace.

Stupid Godfather, What does communicating with other airlines
got to do with running MAS? An airline is all about filling its seats be it First class, Business or Economy with Revenue Generating customers and not free loaders. Here we are concern and discussing on how MAS and its top guns are managing the co via ConSultants,
the lack of communication with its own employees and the direction it is heading to after 9 month.
They are so gung-ho on sponsorships, logo & uniform change when there are 101 pressing issues and yet the management sees this as top priority.

If YB Wee only have knowledge of aviation which is limited to “First class” and “Economy class”, well at least he knows that he can’t upgrade his nanny to First class like that stupid itchy Dan. At least YB Wee knows what is right and what is wrong and not like those panamera Deadwood who only knows how to spend RAKYAT’s money and talk cock like you.

By the way, who are you….Pariah, Itchy Dan, AJ, Panamera Deadwood or a running dog/balls licker?????

What a silly comment! Padan muka dengan jawapan YB.

Please look at the stupid decisions that have been made by the TOPless Management so far. No one else has helped MAS as much as what YB Wee has done for the past 9 months.

If you want to defend the TOpless management please provide your facts to back up your argument otherwise please join the Pariah.

YB Wee should not entertain such comment as it was a waste of YB’s precious time.

First and foremost, I never had the aspiration to be part of the top management of MAS. Thank you for your suggestion any way.

From what I can see for the past nine months under the new management and its Business Plan nothing positive is happening in MAS except:

1. the sponsorship of QPR costing MAS RM18 million;

2. the termination of Firefly Jet services;

3. the cancellation of full load Firefly flights during last Raya Season with no valid reason;

4. the termination of MAS profitable routes for Bandung and Surabaya resulted in AirAsia/AAX monopolising the said routes;

5. termination of profitable route to Dubai;

6. termination of Firefly profitable routes from JB/KK/Kuching;

7. MAS giving up extra flight to Sydney, which has been approved by the Cabinet, to AAX;

8. appointment of PlaneConsult in October 2011 to “review” the structure and operation of MAS;

9. the formal appointment of PlaneConsult as MAS consultant on 16-1-2012;

10. the appointment of Mr Shane Nollan as the Acting Commercial Director of MAS;

11. the appointment of not qualified persons to key positions in MAS – Puan Nor Zalida Ahmad as Head of Corporate Strategic Comm; En Azhari Dahlan as Head of Engineering; En Rozman Omar as CFO of MAS, who are all directly or indirectly have past connections with AA/AAX;

12. Uplifting AAX 35,000 passengers with extreme low fares below market fares with no proper security an not accordance with the established rule and policy of MAS;

13. Re-accommodation Agreement (RA) was signed on 28-3-2012 after many hundred if not thousand of AAX passengers have been uplifted;

14. the top management of MAS did not enforce the RA when AAX did not pay up the RM31 million deposit on 31-3-2012 and proceeded to uplift AAX passengers without protecting the interest of MAS;

15 extending PlaneConsult and Mr Shane Nollan for another 3 months from May 2012 despite the glaring conflict of interest;

16. changing organisational charts 3 times;

17. various flip flopping of decisions made to set up the newco, MAS Sdn Bhd;

18. changing of MAS logo to pale blue to please certain character in the Board;

19. now to change back MAS logo back to its original red and blue;

20. changing of signage and printed matters including name cards;

21. the appointment of Mr Martin Barrow as the Advisor to the Group CEO and etc.

The list is in-exhaustive.

Just look at the above. None of the above decisions were made in the interest of MAS. Any Malaysian could have made the above thoughtless decisions with a small salary less than 10% of the salaries of AJ or Rashdan. . You don’t need to be a genius to do the above.

Thank you

Let’s make YB Wee the new CEO for MAS since he talks so much. Let’s see if he will hire con-sultans or if he has sufficient knowledge to communicate with the other airlines. I think YB Wee’s knowledge of aviation is limited to “First class” and “economy class”.

Today briefing by AJ, it’s confirmed now that the staffs from Subang will only move to KLIA in July 2013 and what is going to happen next regarding the RM10.00 KLIA Attendance Allowance?

Now the logo will be revert back to the old WAU with the red/blue colour scheme because he said there are lot of negative comments from the RAKYAT about the new logo…so now the red/blue WAU will stay but it will be some minor changes to it.

Its been 9 months now the topless management came into MAS and now AJ is asking the low productivity staffs if they could share with him on how to turn the company around. What a joke?????? If nak cakap kurang ajar sikit “kalau you f..k around, sekarang 9 months anak tu pun dah time to keluar”, ni pula dah 9 months tapi turn around apa pun takda.

He should have asked on the very first day he step foot into MAS and not asked now when the company dah jadi nyawa-nyawa ikan. AJ, what happened to all your trusted CON-sultant and those Panamera Deadwood you brought in???

During AJ’s briefing, he keep on comparing MAS dengan AA. Well AJ if you still think so highly of AA, you should leave MAS now and join your good buddy pariah TF in AA. How can a CEO compare a MAS which a 5 STARS carrier with AA which is a LOW COST CARRIER??? AJ, if you want to win the heart of all Warga MAS, then you better change your way of thinking and don’t forget MAS pays your salary and not that bloody Pariah but not unless you are getting salary from him too. ARE YOU?????

TEBING RUNTUH DI PANDAN MEWAH HEIGHTS AKAN DIBAIKPULIH.

SHAH ALAM, 6 MEI 2012 : Penduduk Pandan Mewah Height kini boleh menarik nafas lega apabila kejadian tanah runtuh yang berlaku berhampiran saliran air berhampiran blok 5, kondominium itu tidak menjejaskan struktur bangunan terbabit.

Manakala kerja-kerja baik pulih kepada bahagian parkir dan temboh yang musnah akibat kejadiaan tersebut akan memakan masa lapan bulan.

Demikian beritahu Exco Perumahan, Pengurusan Bangunan dan Setinggan, Iskandar A.Samad dalam sidang medianya selepas mengadakan lawatan di kawasan runtuhan tersebut.

Menurut Iskandar, keputusan siasatan itu diperolehi daripada hasil siasatan yang dijalankan oleh Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (MPAJ).

"MPAJ telah menjalankan siasatan terhadap bangunan berdekatan dan mendapati ianya selamat untuk diduduki. Penduduk tak perlu bimbanglah setakat ini.

"Saya juga telah dimaklumkan oleh MPAJ dan surat juga telah dikeluarkan kepada penduduk di sini," kata Iskandar.

Iskandar juga memberitahu, runtuhan yang berpunca dari hakisan tanah di tebing saliran berhampiran Blok 5 kondominium itu akan diperbaiki oleh Jabatan Parit dan Saliran dengan peruntukan sebanyak RM2 juta.

"Kerja siasatan tanah di sini memang ambil masa agak lama kerana tanahnya jenis berpasir.

"Bagaimanapun JPS telah umum akan buka tender kerja baik pulih pada 22 hari bulan ini dan saya memohon kepada JPS untuk memulakan kerja membaiki selewat-lewatnya pada 1 Julai ini.

"Kerja-kerja sepanjang 80 meter ini dengan kos lebih RM 2 juta akan mengambil masa 8 bulan jadi bermakna akan siap pada Febuari dan penduduk akan mendapat tembok yang lebih selamat dan lebih baik," ujarnya lagi.

Ekoran kejadian tanah runtuh yang berlaku pada November tahun lalu itu juga telah menyebabkan 30 lot parkir di perumahan  itu tidak dapat digunakan pemilik lot-lot parkir terlibat.

Bagaimanapun Iskandar memberitahu, kawasan tanah lapang berhadapan kondominium akan dijadikan kawasan parkir sementara.

Sementara itu dalam isu sama, Pengerusi Badan Pengurusan Bersama (JMB) Kondominium Pandan Mewah Height, Yap Wah Seng memberitahu penduduk kondominium terbabit tidak perlu bimbangkan soal peruntukan untuk membiayai kerja baik pulih tembok runtuhan itu.

"Kos membaik pulih akan ditanggung oleh JPS sepenuhnya, jadi ianya tak melibatkan dana pengurusan JMB, penduduk tak perlu risau soal itu."

Stop Mocking the Rakyat’s Desire for Free and Fair Elections

PRESS STATEMENT
10 May 2012
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Stop Mocking the Rakyat's Desire for Free and Fair Elections

While we should welcome the government's withdrawal of amendments to the Election Offences Act, we must be cognizant that the said amendments should not have been tabled so hastily nor bulldozed through Parliament in the first place.

This sudden but among the many about-turn decisions by the Najib administration not only demonstrates the sheer incompetence of a government lacking a reform legislative agenda but appears more likely to be a calculated move, making a mockery of the rakyat especially in light of the Bersih 3.0 demands and rally.

This hard won victory by the rakyat on the aftermath of Bersih 3.0 is bittersweet as the electoral reforms demanded was never considered. Instead, what was not asked was proposed, passed in Parliament, only to be withdrawn now at the senate.

The acceptance of the ‘decoy’ Parliamentary Select Committee on electoral reforms sans the opposition minority report, the ambivalence of the government on SUHAKAM’s recent report on the handling of the 2011 Bersih 2.0 rally, employing religious fatwas to demean the democratic right to peaceful protest, and the irresponsible attempt to paint the recent over 200,000 strong Bersih 3.0 rally as an attempt to overthrow the government through violent means are distracting and insulting to the Rakyat’s legitimate desire for free and fair elections.

To add insult to injury, Prime Minister Najib now decides to appoint former IGP, Tun Hanif Omar as chairman of the ostensibly Independent Panel to Investigate Bersih 3.0 brutalities; which, undeniably includes the police force whilst sidelining SUHAKAM. Meanwhile, Najib continues to rebuff UN Special Rapporteur Frank La Rue's offer to assist – much relying on the bruised and tattered credibility of Genting Director Tun Hanif.

Clearly, if the administration lead by Datuk Seri Najib is even remotely interested in making Malaysia the ‘Greatest Democracy' and not the 'Greatest Mockery' in the world, all he needs to implement are the following:

(a) all 8 demands made by Bersih 2.0

(b) a realignment of the existing malapportionment of both state and federal seats (where the difference between number of voters between seats should not exceed 15% – state seats should not cut across local authorities boundaries – and to recognise that 70% of Malaysians are already living in Urban areas hence the need for rural seats balance is not relevant. Furthermore based on GE12 in 2008, of the 139 smallest seats, BN was able to win 112 seats for a simple majority with just 2.06 million voters or 18.9% out of 10.9 million voter population (1))

(c) to repeal Section 9A of the Election Act that currently disallows judicial review of the electoral roll

(d) to repeal in its entirety Printing Presses and Publications Act to facilitate free and fair media

(e) to allow international observers for the upcoming 13th General Election

(f) Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Sabah Illegal Immigrants issue

(g) Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Citizenship for Votes scandal

The above should be guaranteed to be implemented BEFORE GE 13 even if a special sitting of the Parliament is required. I believe that the government has the ability and the political will to do so as demonstrated vis the rushed eight pieces of legislation during the last day of Parliament; one of which has since been withdrawn.

Failure of the Najib administration to implement these demands will only result in a General Elections that will be riddled with fraudulent practices, lending credence to the allegation of an illegitimate government, and Malaysia will never achieve the much touted objective of being the ‘Greatest Democracy in the World'.
