Now Kit Siang calls Khairy a ‘rabid racist’

KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 — DAP’s Lim Kit Siang today hit back at Khairy Jamaluddin for calling him a “borderline racist” by pointing out that even former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was opposed to the aborted Umno-PAS unity talks.

“I think Khairy wanted to call Dr Mahathir a ‘borderline racist’ but dare not do so, and is using this way to hit out at the former prime minister,” said Lim in his latest blog posting.

He added that Dr Mahathir had repeated his opposition to any Umno-PAS Malay unity government talks at the Pandan Umno division motivational course on Saturday.

On Saturday, Umno Youth chief Khairy defended the aborted unity talks between Umno and PAS, and called Lim a “borderline racist” for his criticism.

Khairy had said that Lim's accusation that the proposed dialogue between Umno and PAS was against the concept of 1 Malaysia shockingly implied that Malay-Muslim unity was not good for the country.

Last week, Lim challenged what he felt was the absurdity of Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s call for Malay and Muslim unity, and mocked the prime minister by asking if Umno would give the nod to Chinese unity talks or similar discourse for other communities as well.

Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders have already rejected Umno’s unity government proposal and proclaimed all issues surrounding the fiasco, which brought the fledgling opposition coalition to the brink of collapse, resolved.

But the Umno president, in asking PAS not to reject a proposal which he said would be beneficial to Malay Muslims, had appeared to play the religion and race card.

In his blog posting, Lim said Khairy’s allegation was laughable as the Umno Youth chief had made an uncalled-for attack on the Indian community during a live telecast at the Umno General Assembly in November 2007 and because of his infamous outburst about the alleged marginalisation of the Malays in Penang.

“So long as Khairy can continue to play with impunity his role as a rabid racist, the prime minister’s 1Malaysia concept as a unifying force for all Malaysians regardless of race will remain suspect.”

Meanwhile Lim said he was also taking the fresh promise of merit-based national scholarships with a “heavy pinch of salt”.

Najib had on Saturday night announced a new category of Public Service Department (PSD) scholarships which will start from next year.

“The scholarships based purely on merit and regardless of race are welcomed,” said Lim.

But heis sceptical because of repeated disappointments with previous promises of “meritocracy” by the Barisan Nasional (BN) government.

Firstly, he said six years ago, Malaysians were promised a system of “meritocracy” in the annual intake of university students but this proved to be a “fraudulent” meritocracy.

There continues to be two incomparable university entrance examinations, the world-class two-year Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM) and the inferior one-year matriculation course, he said.

Lim said if the government really wanted to stop the fall in standards in public universities, only the best lecturers and students must be recruited.

He said the first step was to have one common university entrance examination along with a programme of positive affirmation to ensure those from a socio-economically backward background get special assistance to get into universities but based on need and not race.

Secondly, he said the government gave assurances last year that 20 per cent or 400 out of the 2,000 PSD scholarships for foreign universities this year would be allocated solely on merit.

Lim said this has turned out to be an empty promise as many SPM top scorers with 11 to 16As denied were denied these scholarships.

He said any scepticism about the new PSD scholarship would be understandable because of the absence of a genuine 1 Malaysia mindset where all Malaysians regardless of race get equal treatment. - MalaysianInsider

DAP wants Umno to stop sending sending mixed signals on race and quotas

UALA LUMPUR, June 28- The DAP backs Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s reform plans but is concerned with the administration’s mixed signals on Malay rights.

Tony Pua, the party’s national publicity secretary, pointed out that while the prime minister spoke last night about removing quotas and merit-based national scholarships his deputy had promised on the same day that “Umno would fight to the last drop of blood to protect Malay rights”.

He said that although the DAP welcomes Najib’s announcement in Putrajaya last night, Barisan Nasional (BN) should stop the policy of divide and rule among Malaysians of all races.

During the dinner hosted by the MCA and the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ACCCIM), Najib acknowledged that the quota system was flawed and did not benefit Bumiputeras.

Datuk Seri Muhyiddin Yassin was present at the same dinner but according to Pua, he had stirred up Malay racial sentiments in his speech earlier in Pagoh, Johor.

“Taken together with the Prime Minister’s own persistence in Malay-Muslim unity talks with PAS, it raises the question as to whether BN is continuing the policy of “singing a different song to a different racial audience”.

He said this flies in the face of the 1 Malaysia concept being preached by Najib.

Pua said that Umno continues to place Malay unity and Malay rights above all else under its “Ketuanan Melayu” banner while all other BN component parties and ethnic groups are subjugated to its authority.

However, he said the DAP was willing to fully support the prime minister to remove the inefficient and ineffective quota system and replace it with a policy which promotes meritocracy in all sectors including education and the economy.

The policy on meritocracy should be complemented with an affirmative

action policy based on needs and not race.

“We would fully support all efforts to improve the economic livelihood of all poor Bumiputeras and Malaysians.”

He agreed with the PM that the quota system under the New Economic Policy (NEP) has failed the Bumiputeras.

The NEP promotes a rent-seeking culture, cronyism and corruption while benefiting only those who are politically connected, he said.

“We call on the Prime Minister to put his words into action by delivering a ministerial statement in Parliament to call for the removal of the quota-based NEP.”- Malaysian Insider

Manek Urai Akan Melakar Sejarah Baru

(gambar - Lim bersalam dengan Menteri Besar Kelantan, Tok Guru Nik Aziz semalam)

MANEK URAI – Penasihat DAP Encik Lim Kit Siang berkata pilihanraya kecil DUN (PRK) Manek Urai adalah peluang bagi pengundi-pengundi Manek Urai untuk melakarkan sejarah baru yang lebih besar.

Beliau berkata DUN Manek Urai telah menyelamatakan PAS dan mencipta sejarah pada tahun 1978 dimana ketika itu PAS hanya menang dua kerusi, salah satunya adalah DUN Manek Urai.

”Manek Urai satu tempat dengan sejarah politik 31tahun dahulu tahun 1978, masa itu selepas UMNO khianati PAS, adalah pada pilihanraya umum 1978,

”PAS kalah teruk, barulah (tinggallh) dua kerusi menang, satu kerusi mana? Manek Urai ! Manek Urai yang menyelamatkan PAS, itulah sejarah Manek Urai,

”kali ini adalah peluang pengundi-pengundi Manek Urai mencipta sejarah lebih besar,”katan ahli Parlimen Ipoh Timur itu semasa berucap dalam majlis perisytiharan calon PRK Manek Urai di Kampong Manek Urai Lama semalam.

Katanya PRK Manek Urai memberikan erti dan makna yang besar bukan sahaja kepada negeri Kelantan tetapi kepada seluruh Malaysia.

Ia adalah kerana katanya, ia akan membuktikan samada rakyat pantai timur bersama-sama menyertai pengundi pantai barat semenanjung menunjukkan undi tidak percaya kepada perdana menteri Dato' Seri Najib Razak

国油营收增18.4%至2642亿令吉

（吉隆坡25日马新社讯）国家石油公司（国油）在2009年3月31日财政年的营收增长18.4%，达到空前的2642亿令吉，创下令人满意的表现。

然而，该集团税前盈利却减少6.7%至891亿令吉，而净利则减少13.9%至525亿令吉。

国油主席兼首席执行员丹斯里哈山马力肯在新闻发布会上，公布公司业绩。

他透露，国油的收入大多来自逐渐增加的销量，以及高涨的液化天然气的价格。

他说，国油面对下挫的税前盈利，是基于生产及运作成本提高。

尽管如此，他说，税前盈利跌幅介于6.4及%25.7%尚算合理。

马力肯说，尽管盈利减少，但该集团宣布派发300亿令吉的股息，这个数额比去年增加25%。

他透露，该集团的资产从以往的3393亿令吉增长14.4%至3881亿令吉，股东基金则提高15.1%至2321亿令吉。

马力肯指出，国油依然给联邦及州政府作出庞大支付。

在上述财政年期间，该集团支付740亿令吉给政府，以致该集团自1974年创办以来，共支付了4713亿令吉给政府。

他说，在740亿令吉的数额中，其中的678亿令吉是支付给联邦政府，当中包括300亿令吉的股息、203亿令吉石油企业所得税、91亿令吉公司税、22亿令吉出口税、62亿令吉石油税。

他说，另外的62亿令吉石油税则支付给州政府，包括登嘉楼州的30亿令吉、砂拉越州达23亿令吉、沙巴州达9亿令吉。

马力肯透露，这740亿令吉支付给政府的款项，占国油税前盈利、石油税及出口税总额的71.4%，加上该集团在再投资年保留的21.1%的盈利，剩余的7.5%则为海外税款及少部分的利息。

他说，国油在财政年度的资本支出从以往的376亿令吉增至440亿令吉。

截至2009年1月1日，我国的天然气储备量从去年的201亿3000万桶增至201亿8000万桶。

MACC mum on PKFZ probe, PAC to carry on

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) remained tight-lipped on its probe into the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) during its meeting yesterday with the Public Accounts Committee (PAC)

while PAC will continue its inquiry.

MACC chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan and its investigation director Datuk Mohd Shukri Abdul attended a closed-door meeting in parliament with PAC to answer questions on the anti-graft commission’s ongoing probe.

Met later, PAC member William Leong (Selayang-PKR) told reporters the two-hour meeting was “nothing very much” as Ahmad Said informed the parliamentary committee that MACC could not disclose information because the matter was “still under investigation”.

“Personally, I was disappointed with what I heard during the session,” Leong said, adding that MACC did not give any indication on the progress of its investigation.

While PAC was mindful not to disturb MACC’s investigations, it is the “watchdog for public funds” and is duty-bound to keep parliament and the public informed, Leong said.

“We hope MACC can carry out its investigations without fear or favour and that the culprits can be brought to book,” he said.

PAC chairman Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid, meanwhile, declined to comment on the meeting.

Leong also said MACC had the benefit of the recently released PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) audit report on the PKFZ project and several reports by the Auditor-General.

He added that MACC could also refer to the 2004 investigations by its predecessor, the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA), as the facts on the project during the early probe remained largely unchanged.

PAC suggested that MACC approach PwC and the Auditor-General for their input as well as find out why Dubai-based Jebel Ali Free Zone International (Jafzi) pulled out of the project, Leong said.

He said PAC’s next meeting would discuss whether to summon former transport ministers and former Port Klang Authority (PKA) officials to testify, as advocated by several PAC members.

“There are many questions to be answered, mainly on the letters issued by the former (transport) ministers, whether you call it letters of comfort or letters of guarantee,” Leong said.

During their tenure, former Transport Ministers Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik and Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy had signed support letters for the PKFZ project.

When asked, Leong declined to specify when PAC would table its findings to parliament because the committee “did not want to be bound by time”.

Meanwhile, PAC deputy chairman Dr Tan Seng Giaw (Kepong-DAP) said the committee would meet on Tuesday to decide whether to summon Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail.

Tan said this was in relation to the AG’s unheeded advice that the land in Pulau Indah, where PKFZ is located, be acquired via compulsory acquisition using the Land Acquisition Act 1960.

Asked if he was satisfied with MACC’s answers, Tan said: “We cannot be satisfied with something still going on.” - The Edge

PKFZ report out. Now what? — The Malaysian Insider

PKA chairman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng holding the PKFZ audit report during a press conference at the PKA office in Klang on Thursday.

MAY 28 - Beyond the facts, figures and fallacies sifted from the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) report today, one thing is clear. Laws were broken.

And the question now is, whether anyone will be held accountable?

Malaysia has a history of revelations, reports and resolutions with no action taken. Will the same happen in the case of the PKFZ where a RM2 billion project is now costing RM7.45 billion and could possibly balloon to RM12.5 billion if the Port Klang Authority (PKA) defaults on its loans.

In the PriceWaterhouseCooper Advisory Services (PwCAS) report, the auditors noted there was weak governance, weak project management, conflict of interest among board members and shareholders of related companies.

Basically, laws were broken, rules were not followed. There was on oversight when it came to oversight, so to speak.

But this is not new.

What is not new is also the time taken for the report prepared last February 3 to ever see the light of day. Or for the public allowed access to the report online at www.pka-report.com for two weeks until June 10.

Because the report implicates many people, some still in government., some retired.

PKA chairman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng, who will send the report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for follow-ups, cautioned that the report was released on certain conditions that only the MACC can probe the matter further.

But follow-ups that flounder are also not new in the country.

Witness for example the highly-publicised thick report from the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysia Police that was established on Feb 4, 2004.

Its most important recommendation for an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission was never followed-up. Only a watered down commission for all enforcement agencies.

Or for that matter The Royal Commission of Inquiry Into the V.K. Lingam Video Clip formed in late 2007 to investigate allegations of intervention in judicial appointments. It concluded that there was a case to answer for a few people.

No one has been indicted yet, let alone investigated for the matter.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, who has been under fire for the past 14 months for not revealing the report, said the government must act on the findings of the report to ensure the people's interest are fully protected.

Good words indeed.

One waits for it to matched in deeds, nothing less than the people who broke the laws get their just desserts.

Otherwise the PKFZ report will go the same way of other reports in the past. On the shelves, gathering dust. In the dusbin, forgotten until the next scandal hits the headlines.

巫統回教黨會談風波 林冠英：民聯明最高理事會 要求哈迪阿旺解釋

巫統回教黨會談風波
林冠英：民聯明最高理事會
要求哈迪阿旺解釋

（檳城20日訊）行動黨秘書長林冠英說，民聯將在下周一國會，召開民聯最高理事會會議，由回教黨主席哈迪阿旺解釋，為何他會說民聯同意組聯合政府。

他說，民聯一向來不曾討論過組聯合政府，而是哈迪阿旺最先發表有關建議。

他說，有關會議是由民聯每個成員黨最多3名代表，而他本身將會出席並要求哈迪阿旺解釋。

他也批評巫統在聯合政府課題上一黨獨大，完全沒有把馬華放在眼里。

林冠英今早主持首屆檳州華文獨中聯合運動會的開幕后說，如是指出。

他說，雖然這次的風波是由回教黨開始，而他們在提出這項建議前也沒詢問過民聯成員黨，但在被行動黨炮轟后，回教黨已改變態度，並聲明在聯合政府課題上會詢問成員黨。

“但在國陣方面，巫統到現在還是堅持一對一談，沒有將馬華及國大黨放在眼里。”

他認為，就像馬華總會長拿督斯里翁詩杰在部落進行民意調查后，有80%人士支持馬華退出國陣，但他們還是沒有聽取人民的意見。

另一方面，行動黨國會領袖林吉祥昨晚出席該黨于怡保麗都酒家舉行的“還政于民，解散州議會”團結晚宴時說，民聯三黨領袖將針對聯合政府召開會議討論。

“此舉顯示出民聯各成員黨都是平起平坐，在未得到三黨一致同意，不可以作出任何決定。”

只會談大馬人權益

針對馬華署理總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷指為了人民和國家利益，馬華可以與行動黨坐下來會談一事，檳州首長兼行動黨秘書長林冠英說，該黨準備與任何黨或領袖會談，但談的是馬來西亞人的團結。

援助赤貧

他說，不應只談華裔、巫裔或印裔團結問題，而是馬來西亞人的團結。

“我們應該看角色，不是看膚色。”

他說，若要談也是為大馬人權益或利益，馬華與巫統都只是種族政黨，應該開放給大馬人參與，不然只是華人政黨的馬華，卻商談大馬人權益，是沒有意義。

他指出，若要會談應以大馬人權益為原則，包括人權、撤銷內安法令、出版法令、司法獨立、建立打擊貪污司法制度，同時懲罰那些與貪污有關人士，而不是給予他們拿督勛銜或工程合約。

他說，馬華、國大党及巫統都是种族政党，，就像前首相敦馬哈迪在聯合政府課題上所言，大馬不能只有巫統及回教党的聯合政府，不然就成了種族的政府。

他舉例檳州政府所做的不分種族的措施，雖然檳州的90%赤貧人士都是馬來人，但州政府一樣給予協助，這是因為援助赤貧就是政府的本份。

聯政須三黨同意
林吉祥：不可單一決定

（怡保20日訊）行動黨國會領袖林吉祥指出，民聯將在下星期一，針對回教黨与巫統組織聯合政府事宜召開會議商討。

他說，巫統最近高調公布將与回教黨組織聯合政府，並已準備隨時与回教黨談判關于組織聯合政府，接受回教黨開出條件。

“對于這個課題，民聯三黨領袖將召開會議討論。此舉顯示出民聯各成員黨都是平起平坐，在未得到三黨一致同意，不可以作出任何決定。”

林吉祥昨晚出席行動黨于怡保麗都酒家舉行的“還政于民，解散州議會”團結晚宴上演講時，如是指出。

他在演講時，揶揄首相拿督斯里納吉在上任首相的第一個國會中，不敢提出投信任票動議，因為他怕得不到多數議員的支持，失去首相之職。

“在308過后，民聯雖已否決國陣在國會三分之二多數議席，但是國陣議員仍占大多數，為何納吉不提出投信任票的動議，是否擔心也有國陣議員不支持。”

民聯霹州行政議員倪可敏形容，新加坡內閣資政李光耀到訪大馬，會見林冠英和聶阿茲等反對黨領袖，意味著在野黨執政中央不再是“一個夢”。

若為國家利益搞好經濟
魏家祥：樂見其成

（吉隆坡20日訊）馬青總團長魏家祥認為，在朝野政黨會談中，若是建立在國家利益，以及穩定政局，搞好經濟，他樂見其成。

他說，若彼此會談是針對一些議題，大家達成共識，他樂見其成。

魏家祥今日出席吉隆坡中華獨中90週年校慶學術學藝展開幕禮記者會上，這么說。

“跨越政黨會談不是甚么大驚小怪的事，若兩個政黨組成聯合政府，沒有顧及大馬多元型，我們就不表認同。”

魏家祥也是教育部副部長，他是針對馬華署理總會長拿督斯里蔡細歷指為了人民和國家利益，馬華也可與行動黨坐下會談一事，作出回應。

停止攻擊回教黨
巫統先拿出誠意

（莎阿南20日訊）人民公正黨實權領袖拿督斯里安華認為，巫統要和回教黨組成聯合政府前，應先糾正在霹靂州犯下的過錯，以及停止攻擊回教黨。

他強調，他沒質疑副首相丹斯里幕尤丁提出組成聯合政府的誠意，但為了顯示誠意，巫統必須交代當年在丹州的所作所為，以及如何對不起回教黨及丹州子民。

他諷刺指出，巫統要求他人原諒，卻又在霹州重複犯錯，根本是沒有誠意的“道歉”。

安華今日出席該黨舉辦的“人民教育演說會”時，在記者會上針對慕尤丁昨天要求回教黨收回過去成見，儘快組成聯合政府一事，如是回應。

出席者有公正黨主席拿督斯里旺阿茲莎、教育局主任諾馬努迪、雪州行政議員雅谷沙巴里，出席人數約350人。

回教黨曾在70年代，與巫統組成丹州聯合政府，惟過后鬧翻，回教黨被迫退出國陣。

應撥款給丹州

安華直言，巫統若要修復關係，應撥款給丹州，更不要利用媒體攻擊回教黨長老協商理事會主席拿督聶阿茲。

他引用其目前面對的法庭（雞姦）案件說，他已原諒當年陷害他的人，但有關人士還是攻擊他，通過控制警方、法庭、總檢察署甚至國會迫害他及民聯領袖。

詢及回教黨前副主席拿督胡桑慕沙建議巫統要組聯合政府，應放棄競選瑪力勿萊區州議席補選，安華表示認同。

旺阿茲莎不反對

（莎阿南20日訊）人民公正黨主席拿汀斯里旺阿茲莎指出，該黨不反對回教黨與巫統會談，並相信會談內容將不觸及“聯合政府”議題。

“我們不會阻止任何牽涉國家利益所進行的會談。”

她解釋，回教黨主席拿督斯里哈迪阿旺要與巫統對話，主要是商討國家未來團結及發展。

她說，建議會談主要是解決現有政治局勢及改善人民利益。

“民聯關注任何對國家有建設性的會談。”

安華：下屆大選奪中央政權
不需與國陣合作

（八打靈再也20日訊）人民公正黨實權領袖拿督斯里安華指出，民聯不稀罕與巫統進行任何合作，反而民聯將致力在下屆大選時，通過人民支持奪取中央政權。

他說，民聯不需與國陣合作，但他希望人民把民聯送入布城行政中心。

安華昨晚在萬宜舉行的一項集會上發表演講時，如是指出。

另一方面，針對副首相丹斯里慕尤丁提出組成聯合政府的建議，回教黨總秘書拿督慕斯達法阿里回應說，回教黨完全沒有興趣與巫統洽談組聯合政府。

他今日發表的簡短文告中，直接拒絕慕尤丁的該項建議。

慕尤丁昨天在瓜拉吉賴指出，回教黨精神領袖拿督聶阿茲應忘掉過去與國陣之間發生的爭執和痛苦，全力促進及認真探討“回巫會談”，以組織聯合政府。

召開至少4會議

另一方面，慕斯達法阿里也向《馬新社》透露，有關方面將召開至少4項會議，探討這項課題。

他說，回教黨、公正黨及民主行動黨領袖將于下星期一在國會召開首次會議。

“這是民聯領袖繼回教黨大會后的首次會議，讓各黨領袖在會議上表明各自立場。”

他指出，除了他本身，回教黨主席哈迪阿旺、回教黨署理主席納沙魯丁及兩名副主席出席會議。

國人恐影響母語教育
提升英文政策有難度

安華認為，教育部要提升英文水準政策，最大問題是無法令國人有信心，確保不會影響國語與母語教育。

“教育部專注推行英文教育時，又無法令國人相信國語和母語教育不受影響。”

他說，政府指在小學推行英文教育，可以令學生更容易掌握英文，這是沒有根據的理論，可說是一廂情願。

他建議，我國應仿傚其他國家如中國，在高中或大學先修班，提供學生英文密集訓練，學生可在這段時間掌握好英文，而不是在小學推行英文教數理科。

他也認為人民存有“言論害怕”的現象，因人們的自由被打壓，如舉行支持緬甸民主領袖翁桑蘇姬的活動，竟也被警方對付，這種做法使人民失去言論自由權，不敢提出意見，更不可能談論國家大事。

雪州民聯昨晚在八打靈再也舉辦一場燭光會，為遭扣留的緬甸民主運動領袖翁桑蘇姬慶祝64歲誕辰，卻遭警方阻止，先后逮捕14名緬甸人。

Kit Siang questions Najib's interest in unity talk

NAJIB'S latest tango in the UMNO-PAS "unity government" talks highly suspect as its real motive is to split PAS and divide Pakatan Rakyat

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's latest tango in the UMNO-PAS "unity government" talks is highly suspect as its real motive is to split PAS and divide Pakatan Rakyat.

Najib said he believed PAS was sincere in wanting to form a unity government with UMNO as proposed by its president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and UMNO would not reject any co-operation that could bring benefit to the country.

Why has Najib suddenly warmed up to the idea of UMNO-PAS "unity government" when only three days earlier the Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy UMNO President, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had poured cold water on it, dismissing the proposal as unlikely to become a reality with differences within PAS itself and the Pakatan Rakyat parties.

Muhyiddin even said that UMNO was prepared to "to respond to the proposal if it was mutually beneficial but would not do so now. Until today, there is nothing concrete."

Why has the top UMNO leadership suddenly changed tack on this issue, if not to exploit what they perceived as opportunities to exploit differences and contradictions in PAS and Pakatan Rakyat.

What is the reaction of MCA, Gerakan, MIC and the other BN component parties to the idea of a "UMNO-PAS unity government" talks? Are they just simply dumb and irrelevant in the highest echelons of Barisan Nasional leadership?

DAP has made clear our position on any UMNO-PAS "unity government" talks and the Pakatan Rakyat leadership council will meet on Monday to hear Hadi's explanation on the issue.

I don't see MCA or Gerakan asking for an explanation from Najib on the proposed "UMNO-PAS unity government talks"! Why?

The media have been after me for my reaction to the press conference statement by PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustapha Ali that PAS will hold unity talks with UMNO only if the other two Pakatan Rakyat partners, PKR and DAP, are included in the talks.

I will await explanation of Mustapha's proposal at the Pakatan Rakyat leadership council meeting on Monday before reacting.

However, I will like to hear not only what Najib and other UMNO leaders have to say, but what MCA, Gerakan, MIC and other BN component parties have to say about Mustapha's proposal. Or are MCA, Gerakan, MIC and the other BN component parties not allowed to react before UMNO has decided on the line that must be adhered to by all in BN?

Low quits MCA

KUALA LUMPUR: Transparency International Malaysia president Paul Low has resigned as a life member of MCA, a day after he was criticised by DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang.

Lim had questioned Low's impartiality in his role as head of the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) corporate governance committee given his affiliations with MCA, which holds the transport portfolio in the cabinet.

Low stressed that his position and affiliations with MCA would not affect his impartiality in investigating the multi-billion ringgit PKFZ scandal, Malaysiakini cited the former MCA think-tank member as saying in a statement.

"I chose to accept the appointment to head the ad hoc committee because TI-Malaysia strongly believes that it can contribute significantly to improve the system of governance and integrity in government agencies such as PKFZ," he said.

Lim said on Wednesday that he had received emails expressing scepticism over the fact that the committee would be headed by Low.

Kit Siang's car tyres punctured outside Parliament

KUALA LUMPUR: A tyre of the car belonging to veteran Member of Parliament Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) parked at the MPs’ parking lot at Parliament building was delibrately punctured with a needle on Wednesday.

Lim, who raised the matter it at the Dewan Rakyat during the Question Time Thursday asked: “How can this act of sabotage happen at Parliament building?”

He said he planned to drive out for lunch at 1:15pm when he discovered that the rear left tyre had deflated.

An aide said he went to a nearby petrol station to inflate the tyre and returned to Parliament building after lunch.

However, he discovered the same tyre had deflated again at 4pm.

The car was then sent to a tyre shop where the needle hole was found near the rim of the tyre and not at the surface.

Lim said he was not going to lodge a police report but Parliament chief administrator Datuk Kamaruddin Baria has spoken to him about it.-The Star Online

与6议员重回国会 尼查：“我们回来了！”

（吉隆坡17日讯）“我们回来了！”，回教党武吉干当区州议员拿督斯里尼查今日连同6名民联议员，以激昂的心情重返国会。

尼查在国会走廊召开新闻发布会，向记者说，他和其余6名遭禁足的议员今早的心情很激昂，他们会积极参与本季国会所有的法案辩论，传达民声及捍卫联邦宪法。他说，他本周一宣誓成为国会议员后，是有感而发，而即兴高喊“解散霹雳州议会”，完全没有事先计划。

“我没有事先计划这么做，我觉得当时是黄金时刻，能向在场的正、副首相、部长及所有议员，反映我的心情和感受。”

尼查说，这件禁足事件会影响到即将来临的玛尼乌莱的补选。他反而指巫统会在这场补选败北。

他说，回教党没有对他这次的作为，持有意见。他调侃巫统内部的人都是“应声虫”。

本周一，尼查甫宣誓成为武吉干当区国会议员后，旋即在额头上绑上“解散州议会”的黑丝带，高举右手喊“解散霹雳州议会”及“人民万岁”的口号。

在场的民联议员也跟着呐喊，由于没有服从议长丹斯里班迪卡的指示，尼查和其余6名议员禁足国会两天。

國會很亂 尼查喊解散州議會 偕6議員禁足2天

攝影：張智玟

行動黨議員頭戴黑巾，一同步出議會廳；左起為沙登區國會議員張念群、木威區國會議員倪可漢、太平區國會議員倪可敏、峇吉里區國會議員余德華，及古晉區國會議員張健仁。

（吉隆坡15日訊）國會今天復會，多名民聯議員因頭上繫綁寫著“解散州議會”字眼的黑巾，遭驅逐出議會廳，其中7名民聯議員更被禁足國會2天。

被禁足國會2天的議員，包括剛在早上宣誓為國會議員的霹靂民聯大臣兼武吉干當國會議員拿督斯里莫哈末尼查。

有人脫下或不敢綁

另6名議員分別是民主行動黨木威區國會議員倪可漢、太平區國會議員倪可敏、回教黨瓜拉雪蘭莪區國會議員祖基菲阿末、瓜拉吉賴區國會議員莫哈末哈達、波各先那區國會議員瑪夫茲及公正黨巴東色海區國會議員哥峇拉克里斯南。

國會下議院會議于今年3月25日休會，今天首天復會時，便發生民聯議員遭禁足國會事件，讓人始料未及。

莫哈末尼查于早上10時宣誓后，出奇不意地在在議長丹斯里班迪卡阿敏面前，高喊“人民萬歲”（hidup rakyat）及“解散州議會”（bubar DUN），令下議院現場氣氛陷入一片混亂。

十多名民聯議員頭上也綁戴黑絲帶步入議會廳，班迪卡馬上要求相關議員脫下黑絲帶，只有少數“聽話”議員便把黑絲帶脫下，有些議員則不敢戴上黑絲帶。

另一些議員堅持不將黑絲帶脫下，被指公開挑戰議會常規，激怒主持會議的班迪卡阿敏，于是下驅逐令，將這些頑固議員逐出議會廳。

被驅逐出議會廳的多名議員，在國會走廊召開記者會，以及逗留20分鐘后，重回議會廳，但議長馬上表明有關議員不允許開會，並下令7名民聯議員禁足國會2天。

聶阿茲：若回教黨執政 丹可成治國模範

聶阿茲：若回教黨執政
丹可成治國模範

聶阿茲（右）愉快的接待李光耀，還對傳媒打手勢，示意“很好”。

（哥打峇魯14日訊）吉蘭丹州務大臣拿督聶阿茲告訴新加坡內閣資政李光耀，倘若回教黨在全馬執政，今日的吉蘭丹，將成為回教黨治理大馬的參考模范。

聶阿茲也是回教黨長老協商理事會主席。他今午與李光耀完成歷史性會面后，在記者會上，這么講述他和李氏見面交流的內容。

回教理念治理丹州

聶阿茲在記者會上說，他以回教理念治理吉蘭丹，在回教的正確價值觀之下，華人、馬來人和印度人的地位相等，人民的區分，只有好人和壞人的差別。

他說，他上任執政丹州之后，四處參觀道北的佛廟，也接待過基督教的長老；如今，李光耀也親眼目睹吉蘭丹人民生活和諧。

他說，李光耀向他提出的問題是，倘若回教黨于下屆大選在全馬執政，聶阿茲對新加坡會有怎樣的看法，不過，聶阿茲在記者會上並沒有說明，他是如何答覆李光耀。

聶阿茲說，在1990年執政丹州之后，他以一州首長之名出國，第一個到訪的就是中國，因為回教在1200年前就進入中國，比進入大馬早了800年。

“李先生問我到過中國幾次，我說4次，他感到很高興。”

李光耀與新加坡數位部長和官員，于今午11時40分拜訪聶阿茲，雙方閉門交談約1小時，隨后合照，完成這一次官方拜訪。

詢及是否在其他課題交換看法，聶阿茲稱在人權的課題上，他不同意交由聯合國裁判教育、宗教和人權課題，因為聯合國是由5個強國所控制。

他也說，國家是由人類創造，而人們是由上蒼創造的，任何人都並無法超越上蒼賦予人類與生俱來的權利。

李光耀邀訪新
聶老健康不允

李光耀邀請聶阿茲到訪新加坡，但聶老因健康問題，只能心領了。

現年78歲的聶阿茲也是回教黨長老協商理事會主席，他很高興李光耀今日來拜訪他，因為李光耀是國際推崇的國家元老級領袖，也受他尊崇。

他很高興接到李光耀的邀請，但目前他因健康問題，無法出遠門。聶阿茲曾在2004年進行心臟手術，不可以太勞累。

他也透露，李光耀很滿意吉蘭丹的衛生狀況，並且特別強調哥打峇魯回教城乾淨，人民生活和諧。

“李光耀稱要親眼目睹，吉蘭丹是否就像報章上所說的。”

聶阿茲透露，當他獲悉李光耀要來拜訪他，他很緊張，要如何稱呼李氏最為恰當。

結果，在見面上，雙方是互稱李先生及聶阿茲先生。

他說，如果是國內的政要，一般稱呼“尊貴的”、“拿督”，但最后還是直接稱呼李先生了。

拒談聯合政府課題

回教黨長老協商理事會主席拿督聶阿茲，不願多談回教黨要與巫統成立聯合政府的課題。

他認為，該課題應到此為止，因此不願多加評論。

詢及倘若該黨領袖依然要成立聯合政府，他是否會辭去黨內職務以示抗議時，他並沒直接回應。

他說，他的立場是反對成立聯合政府，他已屢次勸告該黨領袖，勿要成為巫統傀儡，他不會再次發出勸告或提醒。

回教黨聯合政府獻議
阿都拉願參與會談

（吉隆坡14日訊）前首相敦阿都拉指出，他本身願意參與任何有關籌組聯合政府的會談。

他說，回教黨主席拿督斯里哈迪阿旺提出的聯合政府獻議，有助成為穩定的基石及鞏固國家和諧。

“若有任何有關聯合政府的會談，我會願意參與。各方沒有理由在未經討論下，就拒絕聯合政府的概念。 ”

阿都拉昨天出席“我們的森林及我的啟發”會議后，向記者發表談話。

他說，各界應瞭解及說明回教黨在上周提出的聯合政府概念。

他說，國內各族群也不該過早對“籌組聯合政府”存有負面印象。

Lagi PRK Sekiranya ADUN Jawi Didapati Menyeleweng

PULAU PINANG – Satu lagi Pilihanraya Kecil (PRK) mungkin diadakan sekiranya siasatan yang dibuat terhadap ADUN Jawi Tan Beng Huat membuktikan beliau melakukan penyelewengan

Akhbar tempatan kelmarin melaporkan, Ketua Bahagaian DAP Nibong Tebal, Teh Hock Yong, menuduh Tan melakukan penyelewengan berhubung penajaan RM2,000 untuk sebuah pertubuhan amal tempatan.

Bagaimanapun, Tan menafikan dakwaan tersebut dan berkata beliau berharap parti itu akan menyiasat perkara itu secara saksama bagi membersihkan namanya.

Ekoran tuduhan tersebut, Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng telah mengarahkan Pegawai Kewangan Negeri, Farizan Darus, untuk menyiasat perkara itu dan tindakan tegas akan diambil jika ada sebarang salah laku.

Dalam pada itu, Lim yang juga Setiausaha Agung DAP turut mengarahkan Tan mengemukakan surat peletakan jawatan tidak bertarikh kepadanya.

Pengerusi DAP Negeri Chow Kon Yeow mengesahkan telah menerima surat tersebut dari Tan.

Chow berkata Lim mengarahkan Tan menyerahkan surat berkenaan bagi menunjukkan kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang mengamalkan konsep Keupayaan, Ketelusan dan Akauntabiliti (CAT).

"Kami memohon surat peletakan jawatan tidak bertarikh itu bagi membuktikan bahawa kami adalah telus dan Tan juga telah mengemukakan surat itu kepada parti," katanya pada sidang akhbar di Ibu Pejabat DAP Negeri, yang turut dihadiri oleh Tan semalam.

Mengulas perkara tersebut Tan berkata beliau menyerahkan kepada parti untuk memutuskan nasibnya.

"Saya berbesar hati untuk mengemukakan surat peletakan jawatan tidak bertarikh kepada kepimpinan parti kerana parti mempunyai hak untuk bertindak terhadap rasuah," katanya.

Sebelum itu, Bernama melaporkan, sebuah akhbar tempatan berbahasa Inggeris hari ini mememaparkan berita bahawa Teh mendakwa set televisyen dan pemain cakera padat yang dibekalkan oleh Tan sebagai tajaan hanya bernilai RM450 tetapi Tan telah mengemukakan tuntutan sebanyak RM2,000 dari pejabat daerah.

Perkara tersebut telah dilaporkan kepada Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) - Buletin Online

Kenyataan Karpal Bulan Keputusan DAP

DAP akan bawa Trgaedi Bumbung Stadium Runtuh ke Parlimen

KUALA TERENGGANU – DAP akan membawa isu Tragedi Bumbung Stadium Sultan Mizan yang runtuh pada 2hb Jun lalu ke sidang Parlimen yang akan bermula pada 15hb Julai akan datang. (Gambar - En. Ng bersama AMK membuat laporan di balai polis pada 3hb Jun lalu mengenai kejadian bumbung stadium runtuh)

Pengerusi DAP Terengganu, En. Ng Chai Hing berkata demikian ketika ditanya pihak media.

Beliau berkata ada sesuatu yang tidak kena dalam tagedi bumbung runtuh itu kerana Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin itu, baru berusia setahun.

Katanya, siasatan terperinci mesti dilakukan untuk mendakwa pihak-pihak tertentu yang terlibat dalam isiden tersebut.

“Kita lihat ini, ada sesuatu yang tidak kena, sebab bangunan ini disiapkan dalam keadaan yang tergesa-gesa, bila berlaku demikian sudah pasti pihak kontraktor tidak akan mengikut peraturan pembinaan,

“Contohnya kalau dia (kontraktor) buat konkrit, sepatutnya dua minggu baru boleh buka, tapi sebab nak kejar masa, tiga (atau) empat hari dibuka,

“Jadi itu tidak cukup masak, tidak kukuh dari segi pembinaan,”jelasnya.

Katanya, mungkin Pengerusi DAP yang juga Ahli Parlimen Ipoh Timur, En. Lim Kit Siang sendiri akan membawa perkara tersebut ke Parlimen.

“Mungkin Lim Kit Siang (akan bawa), sebab pada hari berlaku isu (kejadian) ini dia menelefon saya, tanya (saya) keadaan stadium (yang runtuh) bagaimana ia boleh berlaku,”katanya.

Katanya, pihak DAP Terengganu akan menyiapkan satu laporan untuk makluman pimpinan tertinggi DAP peringkat pusat. Buletinonline

Kit Siang says Malaysia heading for ‘failed state’ status

By Edward Cheah

PETALING JAYA, June 3 — DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang warns that Malaysia risks being a failed state under the Najib administration.

In a press statement, the former opposition leader blasted the government and blamed Umno cronyism for the collapse of the RM300 million Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in Gong Badak.

“The collapse is the inevitable consequence of a system which gives premium to ‘know who’ than ‘know how’, the curse of Umno cronyism hiding under the guise of the NEP,” said Lim.

The Ipoh Timur MP claimed that the recently-completed stadium was a disaster waiting to happen, saying the collapse was a warning of a serious breakdown in standards that will stop Malaysia from realising Vision 2020.

He also mentioned many examples that included the recent Jaya Supermarket disaster where construction workers were killed when the building collapsed while they were carrying out demolition work that was not approved.

Then there was the inability of the police to stop the spread of violent crime caused by Ah Longs who have an underground network that rivals the police.

Lim said the list could go on and even cited that Kuala Lumpur was now ranked the fourth riskiest location in the world for outsourcing according to the “Black Book of Outsourcing”, with our neighbour Singapore topping this list.

DAP slams Mingguan Malaysia for calling non-Malays ‘Kaum Pendatang’

By Neville Spykerman

PETALING JAYA, June 1 — The DAP today slammed the Umno-owned Mingguan Malaysia for fueling racial discord by referring to non-Malays as ‘Kaum Pendatang’ or immigrants.

Petaling Jaya MP Tony Pua said the last time the issue was raised, a Chinese press reporter was detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), although she was just reporting what was said by an Umno leader.

He was referring to Sin Chew journalist Tan Hoon Cheng was detained for over 24-hours last September after quoting Bukit Bendara Umno division chairman Datuk Ahmad Ismail, who made the remark during the Permatang Pauh by-election.

“Is there going to be equal treatment for Mingguan Malaysia?” he asked.

Pua said he is against the use of the ISA but wonders if authorities would take any action against the Sunday edition of Utusan Malaysia.

The column yesterday by Awang Selamat also asked if the sacrifice of Malays has been betrayed by non-Malays.

The article made reference to rights of citizenship given to non-Malays before independence, comparing Malaysia to other countries which according to the weekly had rejected their immigrant communities.

The article also quoted former MIC president Tun V.T Sambanthan who compared Malaysia to Burma where the Indian community had been forced out.

“Is this the 1 Malaysia which (Datuk Seri) Najib (Razak) is taking about,” he asked adding that it was more like a strategy of divide and rule. - MalaysianInsider

PKFZ: Kit Siang’s 3 questions for Tee Keat

PENANG, May 30 — The contents of the PwC investigative report on the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) has angered DAP leader Lim Kit Siang who says he is going to act on the prime minister's directive to Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat that the MCA president answer all questions raised by any party pertaining to the report.

The federal lawmaker said in a statement to the press today that he felt "violated as a Malaysian citizen and parliamentarian" when he read the report and the thick appendices, and that the most vivid image in his mind was "rip-off".

The much-anticipated report has implicated several politicians from Barisan Nasional (BN) and says that the actual cost of the scandal-hit project could be more than six times its original RM2 billion price tag.

Lim said he was not going to limit himself when it comes to the directive from the top that Ong answer all questions.

"I have a series of questions and will today start with three," he said with a cheeky smile when speaking to reporters at a press conference at his house here.

The first question is why were the terms of reference of the PwC inquiry restricted to a review instead of an all-out investigation when Ong had promised a "tell all" in April last year, one month into his job as transport minister.

"Can Ong explain why he decided on such limited and restricted terms of reference deliberately excluding from the inquiry the conduct or misconduct of previous Transport Ministers Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik and Tan Sri Chan Kong Choy in the PKFZ scandal as well as not asking PwC to detect any wrongdoing or render advice?"

The second question is whether Ong also felt ""violated as a Malaysian citizen and parliamentarian" after reading the report.

"Does Ong agree that the PwC report has exposed not just a can of worms but a swamp of crocodiles snowballing from a RM1.8 billion scandal in 2002 under Datuk Seri Ling Liong Sik as transport minister to RM4.6 billion under Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy and now mushrooming into the astronomical figure of RM12.5 billion under his watch?"

The third question is whether Ong agrees that the scandal must not be allowed to become a bigger version of the RM2.5 billion Bumiputra Malaysia Finance scandal which Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said 25 years ago was a "heinous crime but without criminals."

Lim said that RM12.5 billion was enough to build 1,250 schools at RM10 million each, 312,500 low-cost houses at RM40,000 each or enough to put RM338 cash in the pockets of every single Malaysian.

"What is Ong going to do to book all those responsible, whether politicians named like Deputy Finance Minister Chor Chee Heung or those unnamed like Liong Sik, Kong Choy, BN backbencher club chairman Tiong King Sing or Semanta state assemblyman Abdul Rahman Palil."

Lim concluded by saying: "The Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has kicked the ball to Ong. I hope Ong will not kick the ball to somebody else and make the prime minister look foolish by not answering all queries."

The Port Klang Authority (PKA) has submitted the report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency which said it will study the report and see if it had any new leads compared with its own investigative report done last year.

Chor has said he will be meeting Najib and Ong to explain his position. He had denied any conflict of interest as to his role in the PKFZ project.

The main developer, Kuala Dimensi Sdn Bhd, is considering legal action against either PKA, PwC or both.

PKA, however, has indemnified PwC of any legal liability arising from the report.
