Chief Secretary To Visit Rehabilitated "Sick" Projects :: Bernama.com

Yes, I had a good laugh reading this. If the projects had been rehabilitated then why are their sick. My understanding of rehabilitation is, at least, by the dictionary “ to restore to a condition of good health, ability to work, or the like. Please Hisham, could you explain further.

Chief Secretary To Visit Rehabilitated “Sick” Projects

PETALING JAYA, Jan 22 (Bernama) — Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the ministry has invited Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan to visit two of the 248 rehabilitated “sick” projects.
He said the ministry wanted a third party to evaluate its efforts to rehabilitate Eighth Malaysia Plan (8MP) projects categorised as “sick”.
One of the projects was a school laboratory and the other a teachers’ quarters which had been completed but could not be occupied due to a landslide.
“The Chief Secretary to the Government has agreed to visit the two schools on March 2,” he told reporters after launching a career workshop for secondary schools organised by the CIMB Group at Sri Aman Girls’ Secondary School here today.
Earlier, Hishammuddin said that career guidance was much needed in schools and applauded the CIMB Group’s effort in launching the initiative and fulfilling its corporate social responsibility (CSR).
“In this highly competitive era, we can no longer place everything on the shoulders of the government.
“CSR is a growing trend for us to take responsibility of our own future, and one of the most important fields CSR can cover is education,” he said.
He said the private sector was more equipped to provide career guidance for students as it understood market needs better.
Also present were Deputy Education Minister Datuk Noh Omar, Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Donald Lim and CIMB Group chief executive Datuk Nazir Razak.

UMNO Politicians

They are a sorry lot. They want to rule the country. Exploiting the opportunities offered to them, they insist on grabbing everything that is available. They enrich themselves at the expense of the non-UMNO Malays or the ordinary Malay who feels the wealth of the country goes to the pockets of UMNO politicians and there is disparity in the distribution of wealth. During the tenure of an UMNO politician he becomes a millionaire or more. A case in example is Klang Zakaria. He is not punished because if it is done 90% of UMNO politicians will have to be punished. Remember AP and Rafidah, she knows so much about the internal misuse of powers and thereby, although, she should have been sacked for her misdeeds, she still continues to be a Minister, and as envisaged Badawi dare not touch her. So basically Malays, Chinese, Indians and others suffer because of misuse of powers by UMNO leaders.

Besides, gaining wealth they have to show “Ketuanan Melayu” to the Malays to get political support. In doing so they forget Chinese and Indians also contribute to Barison Nasional for continued supremacy. The picture above show the utter disregard UMNO leaders have for Malays and non-Malays. There is no distinction for UMNO goons. The Prime Minister who is leader for all, tags along unable to control the base animal like passions of his group.

Come elections UMNO goes around pacifying the component parties. The leaders of these component parties are puppets depending on UMNO for crumbs that fall off the table. If they are true they would have raised their concern but till today all the threats of UMNO have been glazed over by component parties. People of Malaysia stay in glass houses and anybody irrespective of race cannot throw stones.

Even now Najib goes around talking about May 13th, failing to realise that 1969 and 2008 are poles apart, and the same tactics will fail.

So now, UMNO and component parties are going around appeasing people that they must vote Barisan. It is not 2004 now. That year the people were taken up by the promises of Mr Clean. He is no more clean and neither has he proved any super natural quality. He is a dum-dum and has lost the respect of the people. His lieutenants are no better. Nobody trusts them any more.

So people vote with your conscience. Do you want this corrupted group to continue to hold office or do you want changes.

Hindraf Leads

So it is Thaipusam Holiday 2009 in Kedah and Malacca if UMNO can remember this promise. Let us wait and see.

I wonder if Datuk R.Raghavan will be around at that time.

Thank you Hindraf. You never asked for a Thaipusam holiday in your requests to the Government, but you showed the way.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid said in Alor Star that the state would not consider making it a holiday this year because there was not enough time to do so.

“We have to seek approval from the Sultan of Kedah first.

Private firms urged to comply with Thaipusam holiday move

Chew Mei Fun: Another May 13 if Chinese representation in BN is insufficient « People are the boss

Another stupid statement by a MCA female politician. She must be castigated in the strongest terms possible to allay the fears of the voters. She may even suggest to UMNO to start another May 13th. How low can she go. She is just prostituting her position to remain as a Parliamentarian. I think the voters in Petaling Jaya Utara know better.

Chew Mei Fun: Another May 13 if Chinese representation in BN is insufficient

Tuesday, January 22, 2008 · 1 Comment

One of the most popular MCA parliamentarians, Ms Chew Mei Fun of Petaling Jaya Utara has made a implicit warning to her Chinese voters on Sunday: ” if there is no sufficient Chinese representation in the Barisan Nasional, it is not a good thing, the Chinese community cannot afford another May 13 incident.“

Is she threatening the voters to vote BN with political violence? Has she breached the Election Offences Act 1954 which criminalizes “undue influence”? You judge.

The full translation of the news report is produced here.

The opposition [spreads] “checking Chinese with Chinese” statements

Chew Mei Fun: Afraid Voters May Be Misled

China Press, January 21, 2008 (Monday) Page A11.

Petaling Jaya, Jan 20 – MP for Petaling Jaya Utara Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun said that although the voters in Petaling Jaya Utara are very supportive of Barisan Nasional, she is worried that voters may be misled by the Opposition’s “checking Chinese with Chinese” statement.

She refuted Opposition claims that voters can vote for the Opposition to teach UMNO a lesson, as well as to check UMNO’s power within the BN, but in actual fact, the move will result in “checking Chinese with Chinese”.

She stressed, “If there is insufficient Chinese representation in the Barisan Nasional, it is not a good thing, the Chinese community cannot afford another May 13 incident.”

She said that MCA under the leadership of Ong Ka Ting is keen to establish a healthy political culture, in order to give voters better service.

Chew Mei Fun is also the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development and the Deputy Chairman of Wanita MCA. As the head of the MAC Crisis Relief Squad, she launched the Squad’s first mobile clinic today. Her comments were made when she was asked about MCA President Dato’ Seri Ong Ka Ting’s endorsement of her to defend her parliamentary seat of Petaling Jaya Utara.

She said, she was grateful for the president’s trust in her and will strive to work even harder.

Section 9 (1) of the Election Offences Act 1954:

Undue influence

9. (1) Every person who, before, during or after an election, directly or indirectly, by himself or by any other person on his behalf, makes use of or threatens to make use of any force, violence, or restraint, or inflicts or threatens to inflict, by himself or by any other person, any temporal or spiritual injury, damage, harm, or loss upon or against any person in order to induce or compel such person to vote or refrain from voting, or on account of such person having voted or refrained from voting, at any election, or who by abduction, duress, or any fraudulent device or contrivance impedes or prevents the free exercise of the franchise of any elector or voter, or thereby compels, induces, or prevails upon any elector or voter either to give or refrain from giving his vote at any election, or who directly or indirectly interferes or attempts to interfere with the free exercise by any person of any electoral right shall be guilty of the offence of undue influence.

More time to get lawyer

Pray tell me why the family who are not Muslims go to a syariah court to get justice. It is one sided, I think.

clipped from www.nst.com.my More time to get lawyer Gan’s eldest son, Abd Rahman Gan Abdullah, had lodged a police report saying Gan had converted to Islam last July. Temiang state assemblyman Datuk Lee Yuen Fong, who is assisting the family in this matter, said the Syariah Court registrar had wanted the trial to start yesterday, but the family was not ready. “We plan to ask MCA Religious Bureau deputy chairman Koo Chin Nam, who is a syariah lawyer, to represent the family,” Lee said. Also present were Gan’s wife, Chua Chun, and his seven children, who are the defendants in the application.

Fryer Road Ipoh

This is a clip of a letter from Meenachi Indian appearing in Malaysiakini.
I stayed along Fryer Road in Ipoh in the Railway Quarters when my father was working in Malayan Railway now known as Keretapi Tanah Melayu. In this present day when road names are changed haphazardly with no concern for history good old Fryer Road retains its original name. This was a small road where you had the District Engineer’s office, the Workshop, Signal Department offices, a canteen and a small Railway dispensary. Alongside this road on a lower level was situated the Railway Quarters. There were eight units to a block and a total of about 30 blocks which is 240 individual houses. Each house accommodated on an average of about 7 in a family but definitely more. Total population was about 1500 people.
This was indeed a Tamil colony. The other races consisted of 3 Malay families, the one nearer to my house was a bilal to the Railway mosque, another house accommodated a group of teenagers who were office peons, the third I forget. There were 2 Chinese families, Wong the carpenter, and another man. There was even a Punjabi family, allotted 2 units, one a punjabi temple and the adjacent the residence. I still remember eating alwa on Sundays when prayers were held.
The Pillaiyaar temple at the edge of the quarters took care of the religious obligations of the Hindus, whereas the Christians numbering about 10 or so had their Catholic church in Silibin road and the protestants the Tamil Methodist Church in Lahat Road, adjacent to A.C.S. Ipoh where I studied. In the 50s and 60s the Indians dominated the work force including supervisory staff in the administrative section. To say Indians created the Railways is not a myth.

clipped from www.malaysiakini.com Believe me when I tell you that almost 85 percent of the pioneers in the Royal Malaysian Air Force were Indian Malaysians. The then Telecoms Department as well as National Electricity Board were also filled with Indian Malaysians, not forgetting KTM which was also maintained by Indians. Indian Malaysians have also played a pivotal role in the country’s development by building roads, railway tracks and bridges as well as carrying out janitorial duties through their jobs in the JKR and the various City Halls and municipalities.

Who is the actual V.K.Lingam

There are a few possibilities here:
1. Perhaps he had a twin, removed at birth, by his parents and this was a family kept secret.
2. Perhaps there are 7 people in the world who look like him. The Tamil pictures are my source.
3. Perhaps he is a modern Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde.
4. Perhaps he goes around wearing masks, a different mask for a different occasion
5. Perhaps he has undergone some plastic surgery to change his appearance.These are just possibilities.

Now the person appearing before the commission, is he really V.K.Lingam? Has this been confirmed. Wifes can easily identify their husbands. If the husbands go around claiming looks like me and sounds like me nonsense, you can sleep in the hall for all their care. Ah, final solution, Mrs Lingam should without any hesitation could confirm the truth. Believe me.

clipped from thestar.com.my Questioned by Robert Lazar, counsel for the Malaysian Bar, on his position about the man in the video clip again, Lingam refused to commit.� “I’ve already said that it looks like me and it sounds like me. But I’m not going to say anymore until my experts see the original video clip and equipment used to record it.� “They must be given the opportunity to say whether the clip has been tampered with or not,” said Lingam.� Lazar: Are you prepared to say you’re not the person in the clip?� Lingam: I’m not prepared to say that.� Lazar: So it could be you? It’s probably you. You’ve already said it looks like you. Do you know of anyone who looks and sounds like you?� Lingam: I do not know. �
