Beautiful Teluk Kemang takes a beating
November 22, 2011

A fisherman living in the Port Dickson's oldest village laments that the 'big people' have even taken away their sea.

The oldest fishing village in Port Dickson is aptly called Kampung Nelayan Teluk Kemang. Here the reek of fish mixed with brine and sewage make for a heady encounter for visitors.

But the bunch of boys lounging on the crudely fashioned plywood verandah strumming a peeling guitar and singing Malay rock songs from the 80s and 90s don't seem to mind. It's a smell they are accustomed to.

The boys, who look to be barely out-of-their teens, are fishermen. They've mostly inherited the trade by default and have been living off the sea like their fathers.

But life is getting increasingly difficult all around, says village patriach Pak Long, unconsciously tapping his feet to the strumming from the guitar.

"About two decades ago, a police or army corporal could comfortably provide for his family of five on his salary.

"Now? Forget it. The wife will have to work cleaning apartments, or some other kind of supplementary income to help her husband provide," he laments, adding that fishing for some of their youths has become a supplementary income.

"It makes me sad that such a beautiful place like Teluk Kemang has taken such a beating.

"They (the government) build things like the aquaria and then leave it to languish – there is no respect for the earth and its resources. The greed is astounding and the laziness is terrible to witness.

"There was once a small piece of land that was given to Puteri Umno by former Negri Sembilan menteri besar Mohd Isa Abdul Samad in the 90s.

"In return, Puteri Umno sold that piece of land to someone named Dr Goh, who later sold it to the Genting Group.

"It never fails to amaze me what these so-called big people can so conveniently claim as their own," he said wryly, adding that the "big people" have even taken away their sea.

'They sold the sea'

Pak Long said there are days, he wakes up expecting to find the entire seabed gone.

"I never knew that it was possible to sell a portion of the sea until I one day saw a sign outside a hotel which read: 'Legend Water Chalet – The one, only and first freehold water chalet.'

"For the hotel to claim such a thing, doesn't it mean that they are also saying that they own part of the ocean?" he asked.

Pak Long also shared the incident of the village's marine research centre that never was.

He was referring to what was supposed to be the first such centre in Malaysia initiated in 2006.

Initially scheduled to be ready in six months, it was only completed two years later in 2008 and named Pusat Ikan Hiasan Port Dickson Jabatan Perikanan Malaysia.

"After that, nothing happened and it remained abandoned for a year and a half until some French people came and told us that they were now going to take care of the marine centre.

"I'm not sure myself how these Frenchmen got to know about the project. All I know is that they were commissioned by a private contractor to run and manage the aquaria," said Pak Long.

According to Pak Long, the contractor had apparently allowed the Frenchmen to use the area without charge for two years for any personal research, on top of being commissioned to manage and set up the aquaria.

Selling salt water

Pak Long did not seem to know who this "mysterious private contractor" was or the nature of his business.

But what he did know was that they are involved in selling salt water from the sea at RM700 per lorry.

There are no less than six lorries that come in and out daily to collect seawater which is pumped with makeshift pipes running through the sand which is littered with rubbish.

Recalling the "birth" of the aquaria, Pak Long said it was initially built as a joint venture between Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and another university in The Czech Republic in early 2009.

"But the entire premises was left unattended (after the Czechs left) and when the people from the foreign university came back in March, they found that all the fish had died.

"Eight months after this, they (Czechs) packed up and left Teluk Kemang.

"After that, the Frenchmen came here and started to work the place last year, Noh Omar launched it officially in March 2011," said Pak Long referring to the current Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister.

The saga of the neglected aquaria continues in the next thing that Pak Long shared concerning students from UPM's Fishery Studies faculty.

"The students come here for their practical credits and do nothing but sit down, laze about, shake their legs and will be given a certification for this later upon graduation.

"This is another reason why our universities are nowhere to be found on the list of notable education institutions in the world.

"This is what happens when education is turned into business, when all they care about is making money… with little or no emphasis on quality," says Pak Long.

'No progress at all'

He shakes his head in exasperation when sharing the story of a student who couldn't even do a simple mathematical equation.

"I asked him if a kilo of fish were sold at RM6, how much would eight kilos cost? The boy turned to look at someone else for the answer," he said in audible disbelief.

A visit to the aquaria can leave one feeling a little high and dry. There isn't much to see save for six humungous water catchments tanks, unassembled smaller aquariums, some run-of-the mill posters about fish and a couple of largish water pipes. A well is thrown in for good measure.

According to Pak Long, another project that never came to fruition was a lobster-rearing project in Teluk Kemang.

Pak Long said it was initiated in the 80s and would have been a very good project but due to inexperienced people helming it, the initiative never quite took off.

The 59-year-old Pak Long added this as an afterthought: "We are so proud of our achievements but if we look closely at what is around us, what are the things that we can truly be proud of?

"Is it the tall buildings? We have stopped looking at what it means to have real quality of life."

"Our 'progress', said Pak Long "has slowed us down in so many ways.

"When we really look at what we're chasing after, there is no progress at all.

"So many people have this attitude: 'It doesn't matter. I'll just do what I can and I'll still get paid at the end of the month.'

"Isn't this something like someone saying, 'it doesn't matter what I do, I'll still be in power? Doesn't it sound familiar?" he asks, with a rueful smile.

【念念有辞】一个大马商店真的价廉物美吗?

Posted: 21 Nov 2011 07:45 AM PST

This column article published on the Website of Chinese Newspaper Chinapress.com.my

今年6月22日,首相纳吉在雪兰莪州格拉纳再也轻快铁站为我国首间“一个马来西亚人民商店”主持开幕。第二间一个大马商店于8月21日开在蕉赖敦拉萨镇轻快铁站,同样请到首相主持开幕。

一个大马商店被国阵视为纾解中低下阶层生活压力的良方,所以在2012年的财政预算案中,国阵更打算投入4000万令吉,在全国各地开设85间一个大马商店。

人民商店是政府和私人界合作的一项计划。由国家基建有限公司提供设店地点,而开设霸级市场的MYDIN莫哈末控股公司负责经营。人民商店出售多达250种日常用品,并指这些商品的价格低于市价30%至40%,绝对“价廉物美”。

可是,果真如此吗?

KEJAYAAN YANG DIKONGSIKAN SELURUH RAKYAT

Posted: 21 Nov 2011 10:45 AM PST

Assalamualaikum.

Tahniah saya ucapkan kepada skuad bola sepak Harimau Muda pada sukan SEA yang sedang berlangsung di Jakarta malam tadi. Malaysia menang 5-4 ke atas Indonesia menerusi penentuan sepakan penalti selepas kedua-dua pasukan terikat dengan kedudukan satu sama pada 90 minit perlawanan dan kedudukan itu terus kekal selepas masa tambahan.

Walaupun seperti biasa penyokong Indonesia mencetuskan provokasi yang melampau terhadap pasukan dan pegawai negara kita, saya percaya bahawa keadaan itu telah menjadi sebahagian daripada punca kebangkitan pemain negara yang mahu membuktikan kejayaan mereka.

Walaupun permainan sebenarnya agak seimbang, sekaligus menjadikannya pertemuan yang sangat menarik dan menghiburkan, namun kesungguhan pemain Malaysia telah menjawab segala-galanya. Kejayaan itu telah diraikan dengan semangat yang begitu berkobar-kobar oleh seluruh penyokong negara pada setiap pelusuk tanah air.

Malah di sesetengah tempat seperti kedai kopi yang dikerumuni oleh ramai penyokong Malaysia yang menyaksikan siaran langsung perlawanan itu telah menjadikan keadaanya sama seperti stadium - riuh rendah dan ada menyanyi - sama seperti apa yang selalu kita lihat di stadium.

Demikianlah kuatnya pengaruh bola sepak. Ia dapat mewujudkan satu kumpulan yang setia dan saling berkongsi kegembiraan dan kesedihan. Di setiap hati penyokong peminat, mereka ingin melihat pasukan Malaysia menang. Mereka berkongsi perasaan yang sama.

Saya sangat kagum dan teruja dengan apa yang berlaku dan jika ia diwujudkan dengan suasana yang sihat, maka banyak faedah yang mampu kita kecapi di sebalik aktitivi sukan ini.

Namun malang sedikit apabila di negara kita ada pihak yang pendek akal membawa bendera parti politik ke dalam stadium. Ia satu keadaan yang tidak menguntungkan dan tidak seharus terus berlaku. Contohi bagaimana pasukan Malaysia mencapai kejayaan dan bagaimana sokongan rakyat yang diberikan kepada mereka dengan merentasi kepentingan politik.

Sekali lagi tahniah saya ucapkan kepada pasukan Malaysia yang membawa emas melalui sukan bola sepak. Kejayaan itu telah dikongsikan kegembiraan oleh seluruh rakyat Malaysia. Semoga Malaysia akan terus berjaya.

Majulah bola sepak untuk mengharumkan nama negara.

It is more heartache to see the new management idiots that are seen to be stewing up MAS every minute. All the facts stated showed that MH has been changed by the idiots to Maruah Hilang because they were dancing to the tune of that Pariah, whose organization has a track records of owing airport taxes, withholding the untravelled passengers airport taxes when they are supposed to pay over to MAHB, cannibalizing of aircraft for spare parts under RAS, spinning all the way to look good and so on.

I believe that tag line used by YB to describe the actions and decisions made by those idiots in MAS i.e. Tan Sri Md Nor, Rahsdan and that eager beaver, AJ. Thank you YB for alerting MAS employees, the government and Malaysians of the all bullshits that were going on in MAS now.

MAS brand will not be damaged by the tagline MH = Maruah Hilang, Musnah Harapan but it will definitely be damaged by the decisions of Tan Sri Azman and Rashdan and the new management.

Govt and Khazanah should help MAS, the national carrier from the start before the bleeding started. Ini tidak. Your action shows seakan2 you want to hancurkan MAS. Govt should not allow Airasia to fly same routes as MAS. There should not be competition, let MAS compete with SIA or CX etc. Tengku Azmil had many times stressed this in his interview with the press even to MOT. When MAS put firefly to compete with airasia, tahu pulak airasia takut ye. Orang yg tak belajar tinggi pun tahu, if one carrier is cheaper than the other, of course people will fly the cheaper airlines. Bear in mind orang malaysia bukanlah kaya sangat, as long as they can travel, that’s enough to them. Then you allow airasia to have premium products, to attract business people and rich people. Lagi lah hancur MAS. Use your brain lah please.
And mr pariah is taking advantage of all the stupidity of the government and the authorities. Pariah is laughing at you too lah government.
If MAS now have to stop flying to Dubai, bandung etc….then Airasia should also stop flying to London, paris, etc..

Yang Berbahagia, the cancellation of fireflyz’ flights has caused MAS a total loss of RM50 million. However, the airlines claimed that fireflyz is not making money by operating B737-800. The new strategy to con MAS staff now is by telling them that the routes are not generating revenue and so it has to be passed down to Air Asia. For over a decade, MAS has had flown into Argentina and a sudden change of plan to switch Argentina to AA under the pretext that MAS wasn’t making money on that route. This is all senseless, stupid, foolish statement ever made by MAS new management.

Time to crash AA by first, being a concern MALAYSIAN, let’s stop flying with AA until the collaboration plan is ceased. Everyone, please stop flying AA and stop joining AA or new Caterham Jet.

As reported in China Press

黃漢偉:重面試追295萬 欠租甭想再住


再納阿比丁路人民組屋住戶,拖欠政府12萬1900令吉租金。

  (檳城21日訊)截至今年9月30日,檳州6座人民組屋共拖欠州政府295萬6954令吉62仙租金,其中大山腳宏願組屋拖欠數額最多,達93萬1000令吉。

 拖欠租金者可要留意了,因為州政府將進行重新面試住戶活動,拖欠租金者將被告知,若還要繼續在人民組屋居住,他們須繳清之前欠下的租金。

 根據檳州房屋委員會主席黃漢偉日前在州議會提供的數據,許多人民組屋都出現住戶拖欠租金不還的現象,即威省方面有峇眼再也人民組屋拖欠56萬2200令吉、安邦惹惹人民組屋欠63萬2300令吉,及安邦岸人民組屋欠6萬4700令吉。

 檳島方面,被視為貧窮人士的安樂窩,即利華路人民組屋住戶,拖欠租金費高達64萬4854令吉62仙,再納阿比丁路人民組屋住戶也拖欠12萬1900令吉租金。

提升設施

 黃漢偉說,州政府通過數項努力向人民組屋居民追討回有關租金,包括每逢工作日在相關組屋樓下設立櫃檯、允許居民分期付款繳付租金、通過沿戶拜訪方式進行口頭規勸及派發通知單提醒居民,或尋求居民協會合作向租戶追討租金。

 他說,一旦租戶堅持不繳付拖欠的租金,當局將發出搬空通知書,及採取法律行動。

 黃漢偉說,除了追討租金,州政府也將提升人民組屋的設施,如提升走廊、樓梯、泊車場、升降機等的衛生情況、維修破損的基本設施,以及維修所有升降機。

利華路居民欠租64萬
議員下週開會討論

檳島市議員將在下周與雙溪檳榔區州議員郭庭源開會,討論如何解決利華路人民組屋住戶拖欠的租金問題。

 檳島市議員王耶宗指出,市局已計算出被拖欠的租金多達64萬令吉,欠租金最高者多達1萬多令吉。

 "由于住在人民組屋的多數都是窮人,因此我們不能隨意趕他們出去,我們有想到一個方式,即要租戶先攤還所拖欠租金的其中30%,另外70%再由每個月以1+1方式繳交,如每個月租金是100令吉,租戶就需繳200令吉,其中100令吉是用來付還所拖欠的70%租金。"

 對于完全不攤還租金者,王耶宗說,該局將與州議員合作調查有關租戶背景,若查實是很窮的租戶,則會想辦法幫助對方。

檳州人民組屋拖欠租金總額(截至9月30日)

1.檳州秘書署房屋部管轄的人民組屋.拖欠租金總額(令吉)

a.再納阿比丁路人民組屋.12萬1900令吉

UMNO-BN Using Police to Move Against Anwar Ibrahim Before 13th General Election

Posted: 21 Nov 2011 05:20 AM PST

For the third time since 1998, the Barisan Nasional government is complicit in fabricating criminal charges in an attempt to end the political career of National Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and halt political and economic reform in this country. 

UMNO-BN are using the police force to move aggressively against Anwar Ibrahim just as the general election is about to be called. On 16 November 2011, the opposition leader was ordered to report for police questioning, and was forced to attend Kepong police station instead of performing his duties as parliamentary opposition leader. A new criminal investigation had been launched against him based on a report made by one DSP Shanmugamoorthy who had investigated Anwar’s complaint of intimidation, blackmail and criminal defamation by the ‘Datuk T’ trio. Thus, from being an aggrieved complainant, the authorities have made Anwar the accused person. The entire investigation has been carefully orchestrated by the top police leadership, with the knowledge and complicity of the Attorney General. Unusually, investigation papers were already in the A-G’s hands even before Anwar was called in for questioning. More disturbingly, although the police report was lodged in September this year, Anwar was called in only last week. This indicates hidden hands manipulating the investigation and choosing a politically opportune time to move against Anwar.
 
There is no doubt now that a massive new conspiracy is afoot to charge, try and imprison Anwar Ibrahim. In any real democracy, the opposition leader plays a key role in questioning and checking governmental action. The bringing of baseless, politically motivated criminal charges against the Leader of the Opposition is an outrage against the democratic norms that are the bedrock of our nation. UMNO-BN must cease this criminal abuse of state powers and institutions in order to undermine the opposition and cling on to political power. We call upon the BN government to drop all politically motivated investigations and prosecutions against Anwar Ibrahim and to participate in democratic politics by rational public debate and discourse.

Skandal NFC: Tiada Pertanggungjawaban Dalam Menguruskqn Dana Awam

Posted: 20 Nov 2011 09:07 PM PST

KEADILAN mengalu-alukan siasatan yang akan dibuat oleh Jawatankuasa Kira-kira Negara (PAC) dan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) terhadap pelbagai urusniaga melibatkan National Feedlot Corporation Sdn Bhd (NFC) dan Projek Fidlot Kebangsaan, seperti yang diumumkan mutakhir ini.
 
Walau bagaimana pun, isu paling pokok adalah persoalan pertanggungjawaban awal yang bermula dari Kabinet dan menteri-menteri kanan Barisan Nasional yang terlibat menganugerahkan projek bernilai RM250 juta ini kepada sebuah syarikat yang tidak mempunyai kepakaran dan pengalaman langsung. Dana awam berjumlah RM250 juta pun disalurkan tanpa ada sebarang jadual pembayaran seperti mana kebiasaannya.
 
KEADILAN menyeru supaya Perdana Menteri, Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak segera membuat kenyataan mengenai skandal ini, lebih-lebih lagi apabila Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani YB Dato' Seri Noh Omar mengejutkan negara apabila mengesahkan bahawa kelulusan projek ini tidak dibawa ke peringkat kabinet. Sebaliknya, projek berjumlah RM250 juta ini khabarnya diluluskan oleh sebuah jawatankuasa bukan kabinet yang dipengerusikan oleh Perdana Menteri sendiri.
 
KEADILAN pada hari ini boleh mendedahkan bahawa unsur penyelewengan yang mungkin berlaku di dalam NFC dan syarikat-syarikat yang berkaitan melangkaui pendedahan yang mengejutkan rakyat Malaysia selama ini.
 
Contohnya, dalam tahun 2010 NFC membelanjakan RM31,580 untuk membiayai pakej umrah di atas nama Dato' Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail dan Wan Shahinur Izran Mohamad Salleh. KEADILAN mempunyai bukti jelas bagaimana arahan agar pembayaran bagi pakej umrah menggunakan dana awam ini datangnya dari pejabat Pengerusi Eksekutif NFC sendiri.
 
Selain perbelanjaan bersifat peribadi yang tidak sepatutnya dibiayai dana awam seperti itu, lebih membimbangkan adalah pelbagai urusniaga dan pemindahan wang yang melibatkan syarikat-syarikat milik keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil di Singapura.
 
Justeru, KEADILAN menggesa supaya PAC dan PDRM menyiasat segala urusniaga di antara NFC, NMLC dan RFC dengan syarikat-syarikat berikut di Singapura:
 
Global Biofuture Pte Ltd (200822772H) – carian syarikat disertakan bMeatworks Singapore Pte Ltd (200923276Z) – carian syarikat disertakan bersama
 
Global Biofuture Pte Ltd terlibat di dalam urusniaga makanan dan bahan api. Semakan awal menunjukkan syarikat ini dalam proses menubuhkan pasaraya di Singapura dan disyaki juga terlibat sebagai ejen untuk mengimport lembu dari luar negara melalui Singapura untuk dibekalkan kepada NFC. Semakan KEADILAN menunjukkan sehingga akhir Jun 2010, Global Biofuture Sdn Bhd berhutang dengan RFC sebanyak RM939,495.
 
KEADILAN percaya bahawa sejumlah wang disalurkan dari pinjaman asal RM250 juta kepada pelbagai syarikat-syarikat peribadi milik keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil, termasuklah untuk menubuhkan dan membiayai Global Biofuture Pte Ltd di Singapura.
 
Meatworks Singapore Pte Ltd pula bertanggungjawab menguruskan beberapa restoran mewah milik keluarga Dato' Seri Shahrizat Jalil di Singapura. Semakan penyata kewangan menunjukkan bahawa pada akhir Jun 2010, Meatworks Singapore Pte Ltd berhutang dengan RFC sebanyak RM2,416,815.
 
Bukti-bukti awal ini sudah cukup untuk membolehkan satu siasatan terperinci dibuat untuk menentukan sama ada penyelewengan berlaku, apabila wang rakyat yang disalurkan untuk projek nasional berimpak tinggi digunakan bagi tujuan peribadi termasuklah membuka pelbagai syarikat milik keluarga yang menyimpang dari tujuan asal pinjaman diberikan.
 
Skandal ini akan terus terbongkar dan Perdana Menteri perlu tampil memberi penjelasan memandangkan beliaulah yang bertanggungjawab mengkaji cadangan projek dan meluluskan dana awam sebanyak RM250 juta.

BN Has Become an Unbearable Tyranny, True or False?

Posted: 20 Nov 2011 08:14 PM PST

Malaysia Chronicle

In a genuine democracy, a government so badly run as the Barisan Nasional's could never have survived in power for more than 50 years. Malaysia has, in fact, been ruled by a succession of dictators since its independence from British rule in 1957.

The BN is a party like Saadam's Ba'ath or Mubarak's National Democratic Party. It is a tyranny clumsily dressed up as a democracy. Tyrannies are fond of playing dress-up like this; note the word 'Democractic' in Mubarak's party. It was anything but that. North Korea's supreme leader calls his party The Workers Party. If he wanted to be honest, he would call it The Starving Workers Party.

How did the BN manage to do this when in 1957 it was envisaged that Malaysia, and for that matter, later Singapore, would be run as democracies? The BN destroyed democracy in Malaysia by systematically emasculating every institution that was supposed to function as a check on it. This included the Police, the Judiciary, the Election Commission. The BN also turned the Fourth Estate into its own propaganda machine, rather than allow it to fulfill the critical role that it was supposed to play. With all this in place, the BN was free to do anything it liked. And it did.

Taib in Sarawak

Democracy cannot survive without its institutions, and in Malaysia it withered. The BN leaders were fond of asking people who were unhappy to show their dissatisfaction at the ballot box, while fully intending to rig every election. They were well aware that elections are only limited means to show discontent.

Until 2008. In 2008, so massive was disaffection with the BN and its arrogant leaders, that Malaysians in Peninsular Malaysia by huge majorities voted for the opposition. Even the BN's large-scale cheating in the form of vote-buying and phantom voters could not stop the tide against it.

It was a different scenario in East Malaysia, where Sarawakians are deprived of any right to choose their representatives by blatant,  unashamed voter intimidation and vote-buying.

Ballot boxes are thrown into rivers and replaced by new boxes pre-filled with 'votes' for the BN parties. Every government agency is involved in the rigging of the Sarawak election, even Tenaga Nasional, which organizes blackouts to facilitate cheating. Even telecoms companies are involved in cutting off coverage to serve the purposes of the BN.

Instead of an elected government in Sarawak, Sarawakians have the corrupt, despotic rule of Taib Mahmud. Taib, a shriveled-up little old man, cuts a ridiculous figure when he appears with his decades-younger new wife, but has hung on to power for decades. Taib does not even bother to deny the billions amassed by his children all over the world, preferring to take a what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it approach.

Taib continues to rule Sarawak today, despite the losses his coalition suffered at the recent Sarawak state elections. Meanwhile Sarawak's verdant forests are sold unsustainably for logs, its animals poached and its indigenous people like the Penan displaced from their life-giving forests. Vast tracts of Sarawak are now owned by the rapacious scions of Sarawak's Taib family. Sarawak bleeds as never before.

In Sabah

Sabahans, meanwhile, are cursed with leaders who are perpetually on sale, lacking only price-tags on their foreheads. Nowhere can you buy an election as easily as you can in Sabah. When the people of Sabah threw out the arrogant Harris Salleh and replaced him with Joseph Pairin Kitingan so many years ago; Sabah appeared to shine a beacon of light for the rest of Malaysia to follow.

But that dream of freedom has long been suppressed by the machinations of the federal BN government. If there is any of the old Joseph Pairin left in him, it is time for him to make his stand against the BN, as must other Sabahans who love their land. Or Sabahans will only have once been warriors.

Rampant graft

Meanwhile, corruption runs rampant in the country, a black cloud enveloping all the land. The latest case of the NFC scandal, is brazen even by Malaysian standards. Taking a loan of RM250 million loan at a 2% interest from the government to 'develop' the cattle industry, Salleh Ismail then spends tens of millions buying condos in Bangsar.

Cornered, he quotes false rates of return based on impermanent cash rebates given by the developer. Not a cent of this 'loan' has been paid back to the government to-date. For all intents and purposes, Malaysia is out-of-pocket for RM250 million and BN Minister Shahrizat Jalil's kin are richer by the same.

Najib vs Anwar

Najib Razak, the Prime Minister, grandstanding on Malaysia Day, announced that he would scrap the ISA. In the next breath, he announced that he would be replacing it with 2 new laws. Last week, the BN government arrested 13 people under the ISA, exposing Najib for a liar and a hypocrite. Instead of being ashamed, Najib will instead be tabling a 'Freedom of Assembly' bill in parliament next week. It will be a sham, to be certain.

Anwar Ibrahim, whose multi-racial PKR holds together a coalition consisting of the Islamist PAS and the Chinese-based DAP, is Malaysia's best hope for freedom from the tyranny of the Barisan Nasional. And so, the BN continues to persecute him with blatantly fabricated charges, and tries to gag him on his speaking engagements. The BN wants to jail him before the elections, hoping that this will help them to win. It may well have the opposite effect.

Economy implodes while Najib twiddles his thumb

The economy is imploding, despite the false figures floated about by the BN. Inflation is spiraling, yet the BN claims it is at 3%. Any housewife, forced now to buy less of everything, could tell them different. Bank Negara claims the economy is doing well and then proceeds to clamp down on credit card and household loans, which will naturally affect both consumption and consumer confidence. Which will affect GDP negatively.

It is a pity they do nothing about the RM400billion debt run up by the BN administration. Instead it is compounded by a deficit budget this year, courtesy of the numerically-challenged Najib Razak.

In a free and fair election, the BN would have been thrown out of power in 2008. The election was, despite their losses, stolen by the BN. And so, for the past three years, Malaysians have suffered under the illegitimate rule of an increasingly despotic and corrupt BN.

We can only hope that the next election will mark the end of the BN, the party that has poisoned the political, social and economic life of Malaysia for so long.
