Singapore 1st H1N1 Flu

Wednesday, May 27, 2009 - 5:58 PM

SINGAPORE: Singapore’s health ministry has confirmed the country’s first influenza A (H1N1) case, a 22-year-old local woman who picked up the virus after visiting New York.
The ministry said in a statement Wednesday that the woman was in New York from May 14 to 24, and reported developing a cough on her flight back to Singapore earlier this week.
The ministry says it has quarantined people with whom the woman has been in close contact and is searching for passengers who were on the same flight from New York.-AP

Hunt on for Raja Petra

- 5:56 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Today news portal editor Raja Petra Kamarudin was slapped with a second arrest warrant when he failed to show up for his criminal defamation trial at the Sessions Court here.
Sessions Court judge Mohamad Sekeri Mamat issued the warrant as well as a show-cause notice to the former ISA detainee’s wife and bailor Marina Lee Abdullah for not being in court to explain his absence.
The earlier arrest warrant against Raja Petra was issued by the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court on April 23 when he failed to show up for his sedition trial. He had claimed trial on May 6 last year to publishing a seditious article in his news portal on April 25.
Raja Petra, 59, had on July 17 last year claimed trial to three counts of criminal defamation over his statutory declaration on the murder of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu.
The father of three boys and two girls is alleged to have defamed Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in a libellous statement in the declaration he affirmed on June 18.
He also faces two similar charges pertaining to Lt-Kol Norhayati Hassan and her husband Lt-Kol Abdul Aziz Buyong.
Raja Petra is said to have committed the offences at High Court (Civil 5) at the Jalan Duta court complex at 10.25am on June 18 last year.
At the outset of court proceedings, DPP Anselm Charles Fernandis applied for the arrest warrant and show-cause notice, saying that both Raja Petra and his wife were aware that the trial was set for three days from yesterday.
Counsel Amarjit Singh Sidhu told the judge that the defence team was waiting to get a trial date at the Court of Appeal for their appeal against the transfer order in the case.
Fernandis told the judge that this was a separate matter.
The judge agreed and issued the order and show-cause notice and set July 2 for mention.
Raja Petra had failed in his bid on Feb 13 to have his case transferred back to the magistrate’s court for trial.
He had on Nov 25 applied to the High Court to have his case heard by the magistrate’s court.
Subsequently, High Court Judicial Commis-sioner Zainal Azman Ab Aziz ruled that the decision by magistrate Nazran Mohd Sham on Aug 15 last year to transfer the case to the Sessions Court upon application by the Public Prosecutor was in order.
Raja Petra claims to be in a self-exile from Selangor because of a dispute with the state’s Palace.
He said in his news portal that he would not be attending the hearings, not only because of his brush with the Palace but that he also feared another ISA arrest. He also said that he did not want to face possible treason charges.
According to press reports, the police believe that Raja Petra is in Brisbane.


I support you Raja Petra, and i believe millions of Malaysian will as well..

Telling your wife she's not pretty may soon be an offence

- 5:55 PM

KOTA KINABALU: A husband telling his wife that she is no longer pretty in an attempt to humiliate her can be classified as an emotional violence offence if amendments are made to the Domestic Violence Act (DVA)1994.
The plan is to amend the DVA for the inclusion of a clause on emotional violence against women.
Currently, they are only protected only against physical abuse, Women's Development Department director-general Datuk Dr Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur said.
She said on Wednesday that the aim for proposing the amendment was to safeguard women both physically and emotionally.
Dr Noorul said emotional violence was a form of abuse that would deeply scar a woman and lower their self-esteem, dignity and self-confidence.
“It could be a case where her husband tells his wife she is ugly or humiliates her until she feels emotionally pressured,” she told reporters at the end of a seminar on how to curb violence against women at Wisma Wanita here.
She added they were in the process of bringing the proposed amendments to Parliament.
State Community development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun closed the seminar organised by Sabah Women’s Affairs Department.
Azizah, in her speech, said that there was a need for the law to protect emotional violence against women.
Azizah said there were a total of 99 cases of violence against women in Sabah in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 220 cases during the same period last year which was reported to the police.

Welcome to ‘sex orgy’ island

- 5:34 PM

sorry i got no time to post this few days so im just gonna post some news.

KUALA TERENGGANU: Revellers at a recent wild party on Pulau Perhentian are believed to have had a sex orgy before Besut District Council (MDB) enforcement officers moved in on them.
It is learnt that this was the second time a wild party was held on the island.
The first, themed “Buffalo Bars Pink Lady”, was organised on May 3 where it is learnt that there was sexual intercourse between revellers.
On the “Come bare under the moonlight’’ party on May 10, council officer Razman Ahmad, who led the team, said he was startled to find condoms strewn on the secluded beachfront where the party was held.
“I can’t disclose more facts as the council has lodged a police report on the matter, but I can tell you that there were activities associated with sexual intercourse on that night and this was substantiated by the discovery of sex paraphernalia,” Razman said yesterday.
He declined to elaborate whether he witnessed the revellers having sex when council officials arrived at the scene.
Investigations showed the organiser was a 31-year-old man from Kedah who arranged the party with his girlfriend from Ireland.
It is learnt that police were investigating her for organising similar parties, including in Langkawi and Port Dickson, and that she was responsible for posting the invitation on her Facebook.
Razman added that the scantily-clad teenagers, some of them foreigners, were intoxicated when his team arrived at 1am in two speedboats.
He said he decided to call his superior to brief him on the situation, following which, the police were informed and 15 officers arrived at the scene.
The officers seized alcoholic drinks worth about RM90,000, loudspeakers, audio equipment, psychotropic pills, drug and sex paraphernalia during the raid.
The party was attended by 200 teenagers, who were invited via Facebook.
Of the first party, council president Wan Mustafa Wan Hassan said the officers were unable to reach the site on time as they received the tip-off late.
Wan Mustafa said the council has slapped the couple involved in the second party with a RM25,000 fine under the Entertainment Act 2002 for organising a party without permit.
A police report has also been lodged.

Malaysia confirms first case of A(H1N1) flu

Friday, May 15, 2009 - 8:45 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia on Friday confirmed its first case of the A(H1N1) flu in a 21-year-old student who returned from the United States on Wednesday morning.

All the 192 passengers on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH091 from Newark on Wednesday are urged to contact the Health Ministry by calling 03-88810200 or 03-88810300

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the case made Malaysia the 36th country to be affected by the virus.


Health officers at the Sungai Buloh Hospital on high alert after the first A (H1N1) flu case found in a 21-year-old student who returned from the United States on Wednesday morning.

“Malaysia is now on high alert,” said Liow, who is in London now, enroute to Geneva, for a World Health Organisation meeting. He added he would return earlier than his scheduled return next Friday.

Meanwhile, A statement by the Health Ministry's director-general, Dr. Ismail Merican, said the young man was hospitalised on Thursday for fever, sore throat and body aches.

Tests confirmed that he was infected with the A(H1N1) virus, the statement said. He is receiving anti-viral treatment and was in stable condition, it said.

Ismail said the ministry had contacted members of his family but they have not been placed under quarantine.

Ismail said his department was taking steps to protect public health and that there was no reason to panic.

Meanwhile, in Putrajaya, acting Health Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said later Friday that the fact that Malaysia’s first A(H1N1) patient managed to pass through the scanners at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) undetected was in no way indicative of scanners’ failure.

Kong said the scanners installed since the start of the global alert on the disease traced elevated body temperature levels in travellers coming into the country and did not pick out the 21-year-old student flying in from the United States as the symptoms were not showing yet.

He said the virus had a two to three day incubation period during which none of the symptoms linked to the disease were visible and that was why he passed undetected by the scanner after his flight landed at 7.15am on Wednesday.

He said the Health Ministry would continue to use the scanners at entry points and continue with all the precautionary measures it had taken since the global alert was first issued and there were no plans to tighten measures further.

“The ministry has taken all the possible precautionary measures to control and contain the disease after the WHO (World Health Organisation) issued a level five alert so we are calling on the public not to panic as the situation is under control.

“I also want to assure the people that we will make public any information related to the disease that we have just as we did with our first case confirmed today,” he said.

Meanwhile, Bernama reported that a man from Bukit Mertajam held under observation at the isolation ward of the Penang Hospital has been declared free of Influenza A (H1N1).

"We just got a report that the blood test on the 26-year-old man was negative," State Health, Welfare, Caring Society and Environment Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said when contacted by Bernama Friday.

A test on a sample of his blood had been sent to Kuala Lumpur.

The man was kept for observation Thursday after he was found to have fever and symptoms similar to those of Influenza A (H1N1) on his return from the United States.

Two weeks ago, a New Zealand tourist was admitted to the isolation ward of the hospital for suspected Influenza A (H1N1) but a blood test also showed up negative.


Going to work today is not so bad after all

- 7:38 PM

What happened today at my work is quite a suprise for me, my colleague went on leave today, he will be back on tuesday so i thought i will have to carry the burden of 2 job since he is not here.

Well basically what i do today when i get to my work place is sending those photos of scrap to country which is Singapore,Indonesia,India,Australia,New Zealand,Malaysia,Taiwan,Hong Kong,Japan,Pakistan and Vietnam. Just by sending all those photo the countries took me half dayler, now i realise why my colleague got so many things to do.
My team leader transfer someone over today to help me to take photo (Thank God), just imagine everyday you take 200+ photo for 4months in a row.
Anyhow after i finnished send all those photo i got nothing else to do, so i just basically slacking around but of course without letting my team leader knowler if not he would *F* me upside down again.

When around 4.30pm my team leader received a call from someone, after he hang up he told us "Later meeting k, Big boss coming down, confirm die liao later"
After hearing that i know im in big trouble again, my wonderfull day will be spoilt yet again.

Then our team leader called me and another colleague which is helping me today to discuss how to answer if Big boss ask us question, while discussing halfway i saw someone holding a Seal wrap bullet walk toward us "OMG, boss is here" but untill now im still not sure why is he holding that? maybe he wanna hit us with that LOL.
Anyway the meeting begin, as usual alot of question regarding the backlot we are facing in our department. We were suppose to send GIDR list to HP(Hewlet-Packard) everyday 2 days, but up to date we havent send anything in the last 5 days, he ask how come we didnt send out the list for so many days? my team leader answer him that is because i have too much scrap to handle so i got no time to prepare the list. After some discussion he told us that "Now i tell u what, concentrate on GIDR 1st, that is our main priority, as for scrap don't have to take photo anymore since we got so many pallets in our hand, its junk anyway, so just key in and send out the scrap enough" i was so happy when i hear him say that.
When the meeting is over its already 5.15pm so basically i slack summore before punching out at 5.45pm.
Even though i know reading my blog is a boring thing but at least im enjoying posting it =).

Cops shoot four dead minutes after robbery and meal in victim’s home

Thursday, May 14, 2009 - 7:45 PM

JOHOR BARU: Four of the five robbers shot dead minutes after a robbery had time to raid their victim’s kitchen and enjoy the food there.
During the one-hour robbery, the men took turns to feast on chicken rice, chocolate cake and ice cream at the home of Syahrin Md Jamaludin, Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin’s political secretary.
The incident occurred around 2am in Kampung Sinaran Baru, Skudai, yesterday.
Syahrin’s wife Huzaimah Yahya, 33, who was tied up during the robbery, said two of the criminals ransacked her home looking for valuables while two others raided the fridge and opened pots and pans in the kitchen looking for food.
Huzaimah, an assistant registrar at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, said she was even made to teach the robbers how to use the remote control for the two cars at her home.
“I’m grateful my three children, who were sleeping, and I were not harmed during the robbery. I even asked the robbers not to make noise as I was worried about them waking up my children,” she said.
After ransacking the house, the robbers, including the fifth man who was believed to have waited outside the house, fled in one of the cars stolen from Syahrin’s house, a Proton Waja, around 3.10am.
Syahrin, 33, who was in Putrajaya, rushed back to Johor Baru after learning of the incident and praised police for their swift action.
He added that his house was broken into two years ago as well.
Johor police chief Dept Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said police spotted the five suspects around 3.45am in the victim’s car on a slip road in Kempas leading to the Pasir Gudang highway.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar said despite police ordering the suspects to stop, they rammed the back of a police vehicle and attempted to run away on foot.
Suddenly, they turned back to attack the police with a gun and parangs, and police were forced to open fire to defend themselves, he said, adding that all five suspects, in their 20s, died at the scene. The suspects also had no valid travel documents.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar said police recovered a pistol, three bullets, three parangs, two knives, three screwdrivers, a cutter and goods stolen from the victims house.
“We also raided two homes believed to be where the suspects lived, in Kampung Semangat in Tampoi and Taman Mawar in Pasir Gudang,” he said, adding that four men and three women, aged between 20 and 48, were also arrested.
DCP Mohd Mokhtar said police believe the five suspects, from Gang Bonding, were involved in 22 violent robberies in Kota Tinggi, Simpang Renggam and Johor Baru.
They usually tied up their victims, ransacked homes and sometimes even raped their victims, he said, adding that several victims had also been injured.
Police were also investigating if the same group was involved in the robbery at Johor Baru (South) OCPD Asst Comm Zainuddin Yaakob’s home on April 30.


Can you believe this?? i guess they will get the stupiest thief awards lol

Getting fucked upside down, inside up is like a routine for me now

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - 11:30 PM

Hello everyone, how is your day?? well mine is the same, reached work place late then got warned by my team leader for coming work late all the time, well its not like i want to but im very very tired.
As you can see now i just reached home from work, and my work end at 8.45pm but i reached home at around 11.10pm.
To make matter worse today, me and my colleague(partner) got fucked upside down, inside up for not being able to clear our GIDR, let me roughly explain to you what is GIDR. GIDR is problem part, let's say this part is from A vendor, but in the system we can only choose vendor B or C. So what can they do?? they will put the part in a Pallet and usually i will key into my list when i have time and my partner will send all the list to country so that they can add in the vendor we wanted.
The problem is i need to clear up my Scrap parts as well, Scrap parts is those parts which can't be repaired anymore and is to be sell off to junkyard, but i do still have to take photo of every scrap part and my partner will send it to country to let them see which part that belongs to them we will scrap. My Scrap has already escalated to around 4 Pallet so of course i concentrate to clear my Scrap 1st.
But today consider bad luckler cause my executive want us to clear our GIDR because got alot of shortship parts so they need to know if all those parts are in GIDR Pallet, at 1st i thought it shouln'dt be so bad, i just need to clear GIDR then continue with my Scrap, but manatau when my team leader as us how many Pallets do we have and my partner told him "5 Pallet". I was like so "Shocked" the feeling is like a bullet piercing through your heart, i tell myself in my heart "keongkan liao lar, confirm kena fuck kau kau" and i guess my wish came through haha.
But to say the truth ar, its not all our fault you know, but i just keep quiet because i know there's no way i can argue win my superior, why you say?? its easy, its because he is my superior and if i argue with him he can make my life at work more than hell, and im heading back to Penang next week so i wont take the risk.
I guess my blog is pretty boring right, i don't have any camera so i can't take any nice photom like other blogger can, but i did managed to take photo of my friend with my work camera and here it is.


See that shit face!! Lol..but he is a very nice guy, his name is Sham, he is getting married soon, Gratz Sham!! Show me some fireworks at nite man...Lol

I guess thats all i can blog right now, i need to go bath and cook me, if not my gal would kill me lol..CHAO!!

ron 97 will be increased to RM2 per litre. Let me Refresh your mind.

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 - 1:45 PM

PUTRAJAYA: The price of premium grade petrol RON97 will be increased to RM2 per litre from Sept 1 onwards, 20sen more per litre, when RON95 becomes available nationwide, said Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

RON95 petrol and Euro 2M grade diesel is expected to the market by Sept 1. Ismail’s predecessor, Datuk Shahrir Samad, had said in March that the prices for both upgraded fuels would be the same as the previous grades.

The higher grade RON95 will replace RON92 petrol but will be sold at the same price as the lower-grade petrol.

Let me refresh your mind a little.












For your information, this is not a hotel, its a house and this house belong to the family of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Ah Nahyan, the former President of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Abu-Dhabi.






And what do you think about his car? His Audi R8 in Silver is made especially for a Sheikh,Oh, did i mention that this R8 is not silver in colour but made out of Silver??
















Imagine how much they will earn if petrol price keep rising?

And what about us if petrol price keep rising?

Maybe this solution can help.

The owner of the house that Mas Selamat stayed in denies terror link

- 11:55 AM

Houseowner denies terror link

JOHOR BARU: A retired contractor is shocked to discover that fugitive Mas Selamat has been hiding out at his kampung house for the past several months.

The man, who only wished to be known as Pak Sabar, said he had actually allowed his son-in-law Johar Hassan and daughter Riza to live in the house in Kampung Tawakal, Skudai.

“I used to go back once a month to collect fruits and coffee beans from our orchard.

“I would even cut grass sometimes if I feel well enough, but I never once saw Mas Selamat there,” he said when met at his house in Kempas Permatang yesterday.

Johar has since been detained with Mas Sela­mat under the Internal Security Act along with another man, believed to be Abdul Matin.

Pak Sabar said he knew that Johar had allowed a friend to live in the house but did know who he was until the arrests.

He said he also did not believe that Mas Selamat paid any rental to live in the house as Johar only lived there occasionally with his family and that he was responsible for looking after another house in Bandar Baru Uda.

However, Pak Sabar said since his son-in-law’s arrest, acquaintances had started looking askance at the family, causing them stress and worry.

“Since then, it has been hard for us. People look at us differently and assume we are linked to terrorists,” he said, insisting that he and his family were innocent.

Pak Sabar said Johar’s arrest had also badly affected Riza, who was often distracted and had left her four children under his care while she went off to Kuala Lumpur to be with her sister.

Riza, he claimed, had met her husband twice since his arrest but did not say where.

Johar, said Pak Sabar, was too busy with his construction business to have the time to get involved in Jemaah Islamiah activities.

Puteri Wangsa assemblyman Datuk Abdul Ha­­lim Suleiman said it was shocking that a wanted and dangerous fugitive could live for months in a village of less than 100 people with­out arousing suspicion.

He also urged the marine police to step up patrols along the coastline.

Mas Selamat’s hideout was located in Abdul Halim’s constituency.


i guess you can't blame him, in a kampung with population about 100, their kampung might even don't have TV


High Court declared Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar as the legitimate MB as well, shame on you BN

- 11:49 AM

Nizar is the valid MB

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has declared that Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is the valid Perak Mentri Besar, ruling that his office has not been vacated.

High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) judge Justice Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahim granted a declaratory relief to Nizar that he is still and was Mentri Besar at all material times.

The court, which issued a declaratory relief that Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir had no right to occupy the office of Perak Mentri Besar, also ordered him to show cause and give information under what policy, power or authority he allegedly held office and exercised the responsibilities, functions and duties as Mentri Besar.

There was clapping and cheering in the packed courtroom when the ruling was handed down.

Justice Abdul Aziz, who read out his written judgment for more than an hour, said that Nizar, once appointed Mentri Besar, was only answerable to the State Legislative Assembly.

“Based on democratic practice, the vote of no-confidence should be taken on the floor of the assembly and only that way, he (Nizar) could be forced to resign. (Otherwise,) how could Nizar lose confidence on the purpose of Article 16 (6) of the Perak Constitution?,” Justice Abdul Aziz pointed out.

Article 16 ( 6) states that if the Mentri Besar ceases to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the Legislative Assembly then, unless at his request His Royal Highness dissolves the Legislative Assembly, he shall tender the resignation of the Executive Council.

In his suit filed on Feb 13, Nizar, a PAS member, challenged the legitimacy of Dr Zambry and the new state government.

The judge said Nizar only sought to get the declaratory relief to look into the relevant provisions of the Perak Constitution, particularly Article 16 (6) on grounds that there could not be two Mentris Besar, adding that the issue of justiciability over the Sultan’s power in the appointment of the Mentri Besar did not arise.

“If the respondent’s (Dr Zambry) claim is truly undeniable over the support of the three independent assemblymen, why didn’t the Barisan Nasional request for the assembly to have a special sitting to table a motion of no-confidence against the applicant (Nizar)? That would be on line with the democratic principle,” he said, adding: “I am of the view that the office of the Mentri Besar has not been vacated.”

Justice Abdul Aziz held that Nizar had advised the Sultan of Perak to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly, adding there was, however, no dissolution of the assembly, no motion of no confidence taken and adopted against the Mentri Besar and no resignation by Nizar.

The court also granted an injunction to prevent Dr Zambry or his agents from acting or implementing the responsibilities, functions and duties of Perak Mentri Besar.

On Perak Legal Adviser Datuk Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid’s claim that he was a neutral party in the proceedings, the judge said that Ahmad Kamal “had not applied his independent mind”, adding that to an extent, his evidence was “coloured” as he admitted to taking instructions from Dr Zambry’s lawyer when he was cross-examined on his affidavit.

“He is a very senior legal officer but he chose to use the word instructed instead of request or volunteered,” he said.

Datuk Cecil Abraham, who acted for Dr Zambry who was sworn in on Feb 6, applied orally for a stay against the judgment but this was rejected.

Abraham was told to file a written application incorporating relevant cases’ laws.

Lead counsel for Nizar, Sulaiman Abdullah said his client would seek an audience with the Sultan soon to seek a dissolution of the state assembly.

IPOH: Reinstated Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin left from the state secretariat building here at 7:45am Tuesday for Istana Iskandariah in Kuala Kangsar for a royal investiture ceremony.

He is expected to seek royal consent from the Raja Muda of Perak, Raja Nazrin Shah, to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly to pave the way for fresh state elections.

His aide Amran Harun, delivered a formal letter informing the palace of Nizar’s wish for an audience with the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, to seek his royal consent to dissolve the Assembly. The letter was delivered at 8:20am.

Pakatan Rakyat state executive councillors had started gathering at the so-called “democracy tree” where the March 3 “under the tree” Assembly sitting took place as early as 7:30am.

Nizar arrived at the state secretariat building, where the Mentri Besar’s office is located, at about 7:25am.

He was accompanied by his eight state executive councillors, led by senior exco member Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham and state assembly speaker V. Sivakumar, who had arrived at 7:10am. Also accompanying them was Ipoh Barat Member of Parliament M. Kulasegaran.

The building was heavily guarded by Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel, with some in riot gear.

Nizar and his entourage were momentarily stopped outside the gate when they tried to enter the compound. As the police tried to inform Nizar that only his exco members, the Speaker and him would be allowed entry, Nizar started reciting prayers.

They were then allowed in, but members of the media were prevented by the police and security personnel from advancing beyond the gate.

According to some witnesses, the police had told Nizar that they were acting under the instructions of State Secretary Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Hashim.

Nizar, who was declared the rightful mentri besar by the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Monday, had actually suspended Abdul Rahman, although the letter of suspension had not been served yet.

Suspension letters were served to both Abdul Rahman and State Legal Adviser Datuk Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid at about 8:15am.

On Monday, High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) judge Justice Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahim had granted a declaratory relief to Nizar that he is still and was mentri besar at all material times.

The court, which issued a declaratory relief that Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir had no right to occupy the office of Perak Mentri Besar, also ordered him to show cause and give information under what policy, power or authority he allegedly held office and exercised the responsibilities, functions and duties as mentri besar.


High Court Ruled Opposition Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar as the rightfull MB..Shamefull day for BN

Monday, May 11, 2009 - 5:49 PM

Rightful MB Nizar seeks royal audience, FRU in Ipoh


KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here ruled on Monday that Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin is the rightful Perak Mentri Besar, and not Barisan Nasional’s Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir.
In an immediate response, Zambry said he would apply for a stay pending appeal. This was rejected by the court.
The court also ordered Zambry and the six executive councillors he had appointed to vacate their office.
An aide to Dr Zambry told the media that Perak Barisan Nasional will respect the court order and will vacate their offices at the state secretariat building immediately.
He added that Dr Zambry is on his way to Kuala Lumpur from Ipoh. Dr Zambry could not be reached for comment at press time.
Dr Zambry's private secretary Khairul Azwan Harun then asked the media to vacate the office, saying that their presence was "scaring off the staff."
By 5:30pm, several truckloads of Federal Reserve Unit personnel and police had arrived at the state secretariat building in Ipoh.
Nizar left the courtroom saying he would seek an audience with the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Azlan Shah, to get his consent to dissolve the Assembly and call for fresh state elections.
He would make his request for the audience at a state function at the Istana Kuala Kangsar Tuesday morning.
In his ruling Monday, Justice Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim said that a new
mentri besar could not be appointed as the office had not been vacated.
He said a mentri besar can only be dismissed by a vote of no confidence, and upheld the Stephen Kalong Ningkan ruling.
He noted that the Perak State Legislative did not hold a vote of no confidence.
In 1966, Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Stephen Kalong Ningkan was ousted when the state governor showed him a letter of no confidence issued by 21 out of 42 legislators and asked Ningkan to resign.
Ningkan refused, saying the letters were not tantamount to a vote of no confidence in the state legislative assembly. He was sacked by the governor but eventually reinstated by the Borneo High Court, which saw the necessity of a formal vote of no confidence.
According to the
Nutgraph, the judge ruled ruled that the governor can only dismiss the chief minister when both these conditions are satisfied:
(a) The chief minister has lost the confidence of the House, and
(b) The chief minister has refused to resign and failed to advise a dissolution.
Nizar had filed for a judicial review on Feb 13, seeking a declaration that he is the rightful mentri besar of Perak and an injunction to bar Dr Zambry from discharging his duties as the mentri besar.
On March 6, Justice Lau Bee Lan had ruled that there were constitutional issues involving the interpretation of Article 16 (6) of the Perak Constitution and later referred four consitutional questions to the Federal Court for determination.
However, on March 23, the Federal Court ruled that the case of who the rightful mentri besar is should be heard by the High Court.
Nizar’s lead counsel Sulaiman Abdullah, in wrapping up his submissions last week, said the Constitution was the “genius of the Malaysian people”, adding that the court had a duty to uphold it. Over the last few days, he had submitted that the Sultan, while granted powers in the Perak Constitution to appoint a mentri besar, could not dismiss him.
The only way Nizar could be dismissed, he said, was through a vote of no-confidence in the House.
He also said that a mentri besar could request for the State Assembly to be dissolved in the middle of a term without losing the confidence of the majority of the House.
Dr Zambry’s lawyer Datuk Cecil Abraham, however, argued that Nizar went by Article 16(6) of the Perak Constitution when he sought an audience with the Sultan – this article specifically provides for the mentri besar to request for a dissolution when he has lost the confidence of the majority in the House.
Under the article, Nizar is required to tender the resignation of his executive councillors when his request was rejected, he said.

Real Perak MB to be decided today.

High Court to decide who's the real Perak MB today
By CHRISTINA KOH

IPOH: It’s D-Day today, as far as the legal Mentri Besar in Perak is concerned.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court is expected to deliver its judgement at 2.30pm as to who is the rightful Mentri Besar.
Both Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin of Pakatan Rakyat and Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir of Barisan Nasional are laying claim to the state’s chief executive post.
In the last few days, they have been busy attending separate functions as Mentri Besar while meeting their supporters and hurling accusations at each other.
At a meet-the-people session in Bukit Gantang yesterday, Dr Zambry lashed out at the opposition assemplymen for their “uncivilised” behaviour at the state assembly sitting on Thursday.
The pandemonium also saw former Pakatan Rakyat Speaker V. Sivakumar being forcibly removed from his chair and dragged out of the House.
Speaking to reporters at Dewan Changkat Jering, Dr Zambry also criticised certain press for highlighting certain statements made by the Pakatan.
An aide said that Dr Zambry has lost his patience with certain press.
“He cannot stand all the lies that the Opposition had levelled against him. He’s had enough. All this while he remained quiet. He controlled his temper but his patience has its limits,” said the aide.
Barisan Nasional toppled the 10-month-old Pakatan government in Perak in February after three Pakatan assemblymen left their respective parties to become Independents.
While Dr Zambry has refused to comment on the possible outcome of the court decision, a vociferous Nizar says he will seek an audience with the Sultan of Perak to dissolve the assembly should the court rule in his favour.
On Saturday, as he met his supporters in the coffee shops, bazaars and temples in Teluk Intan, Nizar said: “I am just going to listen to the court judgement, Whatever the outcome. I will plan my move from there.”
Meanwhile, sources said a defiant Sivakumar is expected to turn up at the Speaker’s office today.
His successor Datuk R. Ganesan is not amused, saying he will give Sivakumar some time to vacate and clear his belongings.
“I will enter the office only after he has done that,” he said.

Finger cross everyone, lets hope it wont fall on BN's hand



Mas Selamat's Landlord got arrested aswell

- 12:00 PM

Police arrest Mas Selamat’s landlord

JOHOR BARU: The landlord of the house where fugitive Mas Selamat Kastari was caught hiding in was arrested last week at his work place.
Villagers at Kampung Tawakal said the man, known as Johar, was a contractor.
They described him as the “quiet type,” just like Mas Selamat.
Many believed that it was Johar who had tipped off police about Mas Selamat’s whereabouts.
Villagers said that it was hard to keep track of people living in the area as many of the houses were rented out to tenants who kept moving out.
Snug refuge: This is the interior of the lower part of the house, where Mas Selamat spent most of his time. The room has two sofa sets, a punching bag, a shelf of books, a table, as well as an aquarium (on top of cabinet at right) containing dead fish in murky water.
Shopkeeper Roslan Talib, 39, said Johar often came to buy groceries from his shop.
“I heard that Mas Selamat often went fishing at the canal behind his house,’’ he said.
Rsolan said that it was a pity he did not know Mas Selamat lived nearby or they would have reported him to get the S$1mil (RM2.4mil) reward offered for his arrest.
The hunt for Mas Selamat, 48, began after the head of the Singapore Jemaah Islamiah escaped the Whitley Road Detention Centre in Singapore while on a toilet break on Feb 27, last year.
This sparked a massive regional hunt for the militant who is suspected to have planned various terror plots, including crashing a plane into Changi airport in Singpaore as well as attacking different targets, such as the American Embassy and the Singapore American School.
He was previously jailed in Bintan for using a fake identity card and was handed over to Singapore in 2006 for detention under the Internal Security Act without trial.

MAS SELAMAT HIDE OUT SPOT..

- 11:51 AM

Fugitive militant finds rustic retreat away from prying eyes
By MEERA VIJAYAN and DESIREE TRESA GASPER



JOHOR BARU: Fugitive militant Mas Selamat Kastari (pic) found the perfect spot to hide - a secluded village in Johor unmarked on any map, not even Google Earth.
He found a traditional kampung house on stilts in Kampung Tawakal, a tiny village with a population of less than 100.
Located about 10km away from the North-South Expressway near the Kempas exit, it is almost impossible to locate for those not familiar with the area.
All around are oil palm trees and there are no signboards pointing to the village as one drives along the main road of Jalan Kampung Maju Jaya.
About 5km away sits the exclusive Starhill Golf and Country Club.
Tawakal villagers are still shocked that a fugitive, described as dangerous by the authorities, had been living in their midst.
According to some of them, Mas Selamat rarely left his house and when he did venture out, it was usually after dark. He would be dressed in a long white robe and white turban.
At times, he was seen gardening in the sprawling compound using a hoe.
“Sometimes we would call out Assalamualaikum (peace be upon you) to him, and he would reply. But nothing more,” said a 10-year old girl who declined to be named.
“He never spoke to anyone and kept to himself. And he never prayed at the local surau,’’ said Mohd Saat Marjo, 56, a villager who lived opposite the fugitive’s home.

Showed a picture of Mas Selamat published in The Star, he exclaimed: “Yes, yes, he’s the man who lived here!”
Villagers relived the moment one early April morning when police stormed the house he was living in and arrested the fugitive.
Mohd Saat recalled: “It was about 6am. About 30 armed policemen surrounded the kampung house and ordered Mas Selamat to come out.
“When he refused, they broke through two doors and rushed in,’’ he said, adding that it was like a scene out of the police TV serial, Gerak Khas.
Mohd Saat said villagers then saw Mas Selamat being led out with his face covered in a dark blue checked cloth before he was swiftly bundled into a police vehicle and taken away.

He said police were also seen combing the area with bomb detectors to ensure that the house was free of explosives.
A peek into the house Mas Selamat was living in showed that things were neat and tidy - except for an aquarium with dead fish floating in murky water. A punching bag hung in the living area.
The house is surrounded by mangosteen, guava, coconut and banana trees.
According to Mohd Saat, Mas Selamat occupied the basement of the house which had been refurbished.
He was believed to be renting the house from a man called Johar, who lived in the upper portion of the house with his wife and two young children.
Villagers said even Johar and his family were reclusive and did not get involved in village activities.
“They also never received any visitors,’’ said Mohd Saat.

The impact of Global warming in asia. Save Our Earth

Sunday, May 10, 2009 - 7:35 PM


This few weeks the temperature is very very hot sia, i guess our beloved Earth need our help to save it. Let's everyone play our part to save earth before its too late.

Don't believe in Global Warming?

See the list below.


The impact of global warming in Asia


The Asian region spans polar, temperate, and tropical climates and is home to over 3 billion people. As the climate warms, many mountain glaciers may disappear, permafrost will thaw, and the northern forests are likely to shift further north. Rapid population growth and development in countries like China and India will put additional pressures on natural ecosystems and will lead to a rapid rise in the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere unless steps are taken to curtail emissions.

Fingerprints

1. Llasa, Tibet -- Warmest June on record, 1998. Temperatures hovered above 77�F for 23 days.

59. Garhwal Himalayas, India -- Glacial retreat at record pace. The Dokriani Barnak Glacier retreated 66 ft (20.1 m) in 1998 despite a severe winter. The Gangorti Glacier is retreating 98 ft (30 m) per year. At this rate scientists predict the loss of all central and eastern Himalayan glaciers by 2035.

62. Tien Shan Mountains, China -- Glacial ice reduced by one quarter in the past 40 years.

90. Southern India - Heat wave, May 2002. In the state of Andhra Pradesh temperatures rose to 120�F, resulting in the highest one-week death toll on record. This heat wave came in the context of a long-term warming trend in Asia in general. India, including southern India, has experienced a warming trend at a rate of 1�F (0.6�C) per century.

91. Nepal - High rate of temperature rise. Since the mid-1970s the average air temperature measured at 49 stations has risen by 1.8�F (1�C), with high elevation sites warming the most. This is twice as fast as the 1�F (0.6�C) average warming for the mid-latitudinal Northern Hemisphere (24 to 40�N) over the same time period, and illustrates the high sensitivity of mountain regions to climate change.

93. Taiwan - Average temperature increase. The average temperature for the island has risen 1.8-2.5�F (1-1.4�C) in the last 100 years. The average temperature for 2000 was the warmest on record.

94. Afghanistan - 2001 - Warmest winter on record. Arid Central Asia, which includes Afghanistan, experienced a warming of 0.8-3.6�F (1-2�C) during the 20th century.

95. Tibet - Warmest decade in 1,000 years. Ice core records from the Dasuopu Glacier indicate that the last decade and last 50 years have been the warmest in 1,000 years. Meteorological records for the Tibetan Plateau show that annual temperatures increased 0.4�F (0.16�C) per decade and winter temperatures increased 0.6�F (0.32�C) per decade from 1955 to 1996.

96. Mongolia - Warmest century of the past millennium. A 1,738-year tree-ring record from remote alpine forests in the Tarvagatay Mountains indicates that 20th century temperatures in this region are the warmest of the last millennium. Tree growth during 1980-1999 was the highest of any 20-year period on record, and 8 of the 10 highest growth years occurred since 1950. The 20th century warming has been observed in tree-ring reconstructions of temperature from widespread regions of Eurasia, including sites in the Polar Urals, Yakutia, and the Taymir Peninsula, Russia. The average annual temperature in Mongolia has increased by about 1.3�F (0.7�C) over the past 50 years.

119. Chokoria Sundarbans, Bangladesh - Flooded mangroves. Rising ocean levels have flooded about 18,500 acres (7,500 hectares) of mangrove forest during the past three decades. Global sea-level rise is aggravated by substantial deltaic subsidence in the area with rates as high as 5.5 mm/year.

120. China - Rising waters and temperature. The average rate of sea-level rise was 0.09 +/- 0.04 inches (2.3 +/- 0.9 mm) per year over the last 30 years. Global sea-level rise was aggravated locally by subsidence of up to 2 inches (5 cm) per year for some regions due to earthquakes and groundwater withdrawal. Also, ocean temperatures off the China coast have risen in the last 100 years, especially since the 1960s.

126. Bhutan - Melting glaciers swelling lakes. As Himalayan glaciers melt glacial lakes are swelling and in danger of catastrophic flooding. Average glacial retreat in Bhutan is 100-130 feet (30-40 m) per year. Temperatures in the high Himalayas have risen 1.8�F (1�C) since the mid 1970s.

127. India - Himalayan glaciers retreating. Glaciers in the Himalayas are retreating at an average rate of 50 feet (15 m) per year, consistent with the rapid warming recorded at Himalayan climate stations since the 1970s. Winter stream flow for the Baspa glacier basin has increased 75% since 1966 and local winter temperatures have warmed, suggesting increased glacier melting in winter.

130. Mt. Everest - Retreating glacier.The Khumbu Glacier, popular climbing route to the summit of Mt. Everest, has retreated over 3 miles (5 km) since 1953. The Himalayan region overall has warmed by about 1.8�F (1�C) since the 1970s.

131. Kyrgyzstan - Disappearing glaciers. During 1959-1988, 1,081 glaciers in the Pamir-Altai disappeared. Temperatures in the mountains of Kyrgyztan have increased by 0.9-2.7� F (0.5-1.5�C) since the 1950s.

142. Siberia - Melting permafrost. Large expanses of tundra permafrost are melting. In some regions the rate of thawing of the upper ground is nearly 8 inches (20 cm) per year. Thawing permafrost has already damaged 300 buildings in the cities of Norilsk and Yakutsk. In Yakutsk, the average temperature of the permanently frozen ground has warmed by 2.7 �F (1.5�C) during the past 30 years.


Harbingers

18. Indonesia -- Malaria spreads to high elevations. Malaria was detected for the first time as high as 6,900 feet (2103 m) in the highlands of Irian Jaya in 1997.

50. Philippines -- Coral reef bleaching.

51. Indian Ocean -- Coral reef bleaching (inclues Seychelles; Kenya; Reunion; Mauritius; Somalia; Madagascar; Maldives; Indonesia; Sri Lanka; Gulf of Thailand [Siam]; Andaman Islands; Malaysia; Oman; India; and Cambodia).

52. Persian Gulf -- Coral reef bleaching.

77. Korea -- Heavy rains and flooding. Severe flooding struck during July and August, 1998, with daily rainfall totals exceeding 10 inches (25.4 cm).

87. Indonesia -- Burning rainforest, 1998. Fires burned up to 2 million acres (809,371 hectares) of land, including almost 250,000 acres (101,172 hectares) of primary forest and parts of the already severely reduced habitat of the Kalimantan orangutan.

88. Khabarovsk, Russia -- Wildfires threaten tiger habitat, 1998. Drought and high winds fueled fires that destroyed 3.7 million acres (1,497,337 hectares) of taiga and threatened two important nature reserves that are habitat for the only remaining Amur tigers.

103. Bangladesh - Link between stronger El Ni�o events and cholera prevalence. Researchers found a robust relationship between progressively stronger El Ni�o events and cholera prevalence, spanning a 70-year period from 1893-1940 and 1980-2001. There has been a marked intensification of the El Ni�o/Southern Oscillation phenomenon since the 1980s, which is not fully explained by the known shifts in the Pacific basin temperature regime that began in the mid-1970s. Findings by Rodo et al. are consistent with model projections of El Ni�o intensification under global warming conditions. The authors make a strong case for the climate-health link by providing evidence for biological sensitivity to climate, meteorological evidence of climate change, and evidence of epidemiological change with global warming. The study likely represents the first piece of evidence that warming trends over the last century are affecting human disease.

105. Lake Baikal, Russia - Shorter freezing period. Winter freezing is about 11 days later and spring ice breakup is about 5 days earlier compared to a century ago. Some regions of Siberia have warmed by as much as 2.5�F (1.4�C) in just 25 years.

147. Iran - Desiccated wetlands, 2001 Ninety percent of wetlands have dried up after 2 years of extreme drought. Much of South West Asia has experienced a prolonged three-year drought that is unusual in its magnitude. Out of 102 years of record, 1999, 2000, and 2001 rank as the fifth, third, and seventh driest on record. 1999-2000 was the driest winter on record.

148. Pakistan - Longest drought on record, 1999-2001. The prolonged three-year drought, which covers much of South West Asia, has affected 2.2 million people and 16 million livestock in Pakistan.

149. Tajikistan - Lowest rainfall in 75 years, 2001. 2001 marked the third consecutive year of drought, which has destroyed half the wheat crop.

150. Korea - Worst drought in 100 years of record, 2001. It coincided with an average annual temperature increase in Asia�s temperate region, which includes Korea, by more than 1.8�F (1�C) over the past century. The warming has been most pronounced since 1970.

155. China - Disappearing Lakes, 2001. More than half of the 4,000 lakes in the Qinghai province are disappearing due to drought. The severity of the impact is exacerbated by overpumping of aquifers. Annual average temperature in China has increased during the past century, with pronounced warming since 1980. Most of the warming has been in northern areas, including Qinghai Province, and in the winter.


Everyone please play our parts and help, think about our future generation, Let's help to preserve the Earth.

The Earth Is In Our Hand..We Can Make A Difference.

BN want to work with opposition to resolve Perak?? After humiliate them so badly then now try to become good guy?

- 7:04 PM


PM: BN ready to work with opposition to resolve Perak crisis

PEKAN: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Barisan Nasional government is willing to cooperate with opposition parties to resolve the political crisis in Perak but that does not mean that it would agree to a coalition government.

The prime minister said the cooperation should be based on the spirit of mutual respect and adherence to the country's law.

"Cooperation does not mean forming a coalition government. It doesn't have to be in that form... it can take various other forms but the most important thing is that there should be mutual respect," he told reporters after opening Pekan Umno branch meetings here Sunday.

Najib was commenting on the statement by DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang Saturday that he (Lim) was willing to meet Najib to discuss the Perak political impasse.

Najib stressed that the Perak political crisis could have been avoided if all parties had adhered to the law and respected one another.

"If we respect the law, and everyone should respect the law, there won't be any crisis and things won't turn into a crisis. But when all are claiming that they are right, then there are bound to be problems," he said.

Najib said the Barisan government had always kept an open attitude and had given best service to the people.

"We don't want the situation (in Perak) to prolong. We want to serve the people, for everyone in Perak and throughout the country," the prime minister said. - Bernama



They (BN) want to serve the people?? You gotto be jokking man. Any Malaysian would like to leave some comments??


434 under quarantine at JPJ training academy following meningitis outbreak

- 9:42 AM

Source - The Star

MALACCA: The Road Transport Department’s Tiang Dua training academy turned into a temporary home for 354 trainees and 80 officers who are quarantined here, following a suspected meningitis outbreak.

This was an increase from the initial 85 trainees quarantined as of Friday.

All training at the academy have been put on hold and would only resume after getting the Health Ministry’s green light, said department director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan.
















Taking no chances: Trainee Mohd Ghaffry 24, was one of the 10 trainees warded at the Malacca Hospital’s isolation ward following the suspected meningitis outbreak at the Road Transport Department’s Training Academy at Tiang Dua early this week.

Also put on hold is the fresh intake of 215 trainees who were scheduled to begin their course on May 18.

A weekly review would be carried out, Solah told reporters after visiting several trainees at the Malacca Hospital.

Three RTD trainees were warded in the intensive care unit, with another 10 treated at the isolation ward.

The suspected bacterial meningitis outbreak was detected on May 7 when nine trainees were referred to the hospital here after they complained of fever, cough, headaches and joint pains.

On May 4, trainee Mohd Hafiz Zainudin, 24, from Kota Baru, Kelantan, succumbed to the infection while being rushed to the hospital here.

Another trainee from Penang was warded at the Bukit Mertajam Hospital when he returned home for the Labour Day break.

The academy has set up a special operations room and a direct line at 06-269 2666 for family members to get the latest information.

“The situation is under control,” said Solah.

“There is no need to panic. I am aware parents are worried, so we have also set up a special meeting area at the academy’s entrance so that they can meet their children.”

He said visits would be limited only to close family members, and under strict supervision of the health authorities.

The trainees are at the academy for a three-month assistant enforcement officer’s training course that began on March 8. They graduate on June 1.

In Kuala Lumpur, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said the Health Ministry was alerted about the cases to control any spread.

“At the same time, we also informed the parents about the latest development of their children,” he told reporters after opening the fourth Malaysia Calligraphy Exhibition at Wisma Kebudayaan SGM yesterday.

Ong expressed his condolences ovethe death of Mohd Hafiz..


May is not a good month for me

- 9:22 AM

im just gonna make it very quick today, im late for my gym with CS.
Yesterday was supposed to be a relaxing day for me because after the pressure i got from my work and so luckily im able to take off on saturday(yesterday) and today.
Me and my gal went over to Vivocity, im here almost 1 year and yesterday is the 1st time i go there, but nothing much interesting for me there because im not the type who love to shop unless all the shops there is replace with car's performance parts and accessories.
We went over to a shop in Vivocity called Forever 21, i believe mostly you all would know this shop right? What i want to say is i don't think they should change their name to Forever 40 or something. Well no offence to those who shop there nor those who works there, i just fell that the clothes there are abit dull and aunties ?? i can certainly see quite a few aunties shopping there.
Well anyway, after that we went over to orchard, oh i forget to mention, the reason i go shopping is because i want to buy a Nike shoe for my nephew which is 1 years old but i can't seems to find it anywhere except 1 mall in orchard( Sorry i can't remember the name of the mall but i know got Borders on the 1st floor). i managed to find the model of the shoe i wanted there but thats the last pair they got, i wanted to buy it so badly for my nephew but the size label located inside the shoe is torned so i got no choice but to give up and try to find in another store.
As we were about to scout around the mall in orchard something happen involving SPI but i won't say anything here cause i don't like to talk about SPI here because this is between me and them.
That sms from SPI basically ruined our 1st night of going out shopping together, so just went back home but at least me and my gal managed to sort out the problem involving SPI and us.
Reached Admiralty Station around 9.50pm, went over to the pastry shop and buy 8 pcs of bread which only cost me $4 and went back to sleep.
I fucking late for my gym liao, wonder CS will go back to sleep or not? i better go now, i will post later tonite.
Before i forget,
I LOVE YOU MUM,
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.

Sigh, there's nothing much to post today, even if there's something to post about i don't think anyone would read my blog, but the hot topic for today in Malaysia and Singapore is the capture of Mas Selamat Bin Kasturi in Malaysia, but its a different topic that we are discussing in my work place, we talk about Mas Selamat but not about he got caught but its more about "HOW THE HELL MALAYSIA POLICE CAN CATCH AN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL, ITS MALAYSIA WE ARE TALKING ABOUT" is he the one who manage to escaped 3 time from the detention center? hopefully he won't escape the 4th time. Bravo to Malaysia for making a name for themself, keep up the good works.

Perak Parliament Pandemonium..

Friday, May 8, 2009 - 7:36 PM


Perak pandemonium: It was a conspiracy, says Sivakumar

IPOH: Ousted Perak Assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar was in full fiery mode as he lashed out at the Barisan Nasional for the chaos that erupted during Thursday’s State Assembly sitting.
He also accused the State Secretary of “conspiring” with the Barisan to cause his downfall during the proceedings that saw him being replaced by MIC’s Datuk R. Ganesan.
Among other things, Sivakumar was livid at his microphone being switched off; policemen and outsiders being allowed into the hall; various officials refusing his orders; and pressmen being restricted from covering the event.
“What is all this? This shows there was an agenda to usurp the Speaker. If this is not a conspiracy, I don’t know what is,” he told a press conference at Wisma DAP here Friday.
Even the Sergeant-at-Arms was not spared as Sivakumar accused him of practising double standards and refusing to obey his orders.
DAP stalwart and Ipoh Timor MP Lim Kit Siang, who was also present, described Thursday’s assembly as “a day of infamy for Perak and Malaysia.”




Since Najib appoint as the PM of Malaysia, BN has become braver day by day, using their dirty tactic to get full control of the state, but i guess they forget something..
MALAYSIAN WON'T ACCEPT CORRUPTED GOVERMENT TO RULE THEM!!
C'MON MALAYSIAN OF ALL RELIGION!! NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER GIVE IN!!
IN UNITY WE STAND!!

Parliament Chaos...In Perak

- 12:19 PM

Havoc at the Perak assembly

IPOH: The Perak State Assembly sitting turned ugly with scenes of shoving, scuffling and shouting among elected representatives, reminiscent of Taiwanese parliamentary sessions.
Some of the most shameful scenes in Malaysian politics were seen yesterday as former Pakatan Rakyat Speaker V. Sivakumar suffered the indignity of being dragged out of the House by policemen as assemblymen in full regalia stood on chairs and shouted at each other. On several occasions, they almost came to blows.

Several Barisan Nasional motions were passed during the chaotic proceedings under new Speaker Datuk R. Ganesan, and the only semblance of peace came when a “truce” was called at 3.10pm for the royal address by the Raja Muda of Perak, who was forced to wait for about five hours.
The sitting was adjourned sine die at 4.05pm but the war of words continued with Barisan and Pakatan leaders holding press conferences to attack each other.
Outside, police presence was strong as several Pakatan leaders and supporters were arrested. There were also scuffles when Pakatan leaders were prevented from entering the State Secretariat.


Forced to leave: V. Sivakumar caught in a tug-of-war as Pakatan assemblymen (on the left) try to prevent him from being led out by assembly officials. Sivakumar had refused to budge from his seat after Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir tabled a motion to sack him.



Mas Selamat Caught In Malaysia Last Month But Why Announce Now?

- 9:02 AM

Alleged Singapore militant arrested in Malaysia



The alleged leader of an Islamic militant group accused of plotting to crash an airliner in Singapore has been arrested in Malaysia after more than a year on the run, according to local media.
Mas Selamat bin Kastari was caught on April 1 and has been held in custody by Malaysian authorities since then, Singapore's Straits Times reported.
Broadcaster Channel NewsAsia also reported the arrest.
Security officials in both nations had no immediate comment to make on the reports.
Kastari is said to be head of the Singapore cell of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), an underground group linked to Al-Qaeda and blamed for the 2002 Bali bombing and other bloody attacks in Southeast Asia.
Singapore officials alleged he was part of a plot to hijack an airliner in Bangkok and crash it into Changi airport -- one of Asia's busiest -- in 2001 following the September 11 attacks that year in the United States.
Now 48, he escaped from his high-security detention centre in Singapore on February 27 last year after squeezing through a toilet window that had no bars and climbing over a fence.
Kastari's escape triggered a massive manhunt, but a flood of tips from the public, some inspired by a bounty of one million Singapore dollars (647,520 US dollars) put up by two local businessmen, turned out to be false alarms.
He had not been formally charged at the time of his escape, and was being held under the Internal Security Act which allows for detention without trial.
The Straits Times cited "senior intelligence sources" as saying Kastari was arrested on April 1 in Malaysia's Johor state, which neighbours Singapore.
It is believed he is being held for interrogation by Malaysian authorities under its own internal security law, which also allows for detention without trial.
The newspaper said he was thought to have been in Johor all the time since his escape, and that his re-arrest followed a joint operation by Malaysian and Singaporean security agencies.
Kastari had fled Singapore in December 2001 following an Internal Security Department operation against Jemaah Islamiyah. He was arrested in Indonesia in 2006 and handed back.
His escape made the strict city-state an object of ridicule and triggered a sweeping review of security measures.
Nine officers and guards were penalised for lapses that allowed Kastari to escape. Two were sacked and three demoted, but calls for a high-level shake-up were ignored by the government.


How come now only they announce out that they already caught Mas Selamat when they already managed to catched him on 1st April?
Very weird and suspicious...
What did think about it??
