Heavenly kingdom in Putrajaya, symbol of Umno-BN dictatorship and power abuse

-
Putrajaya, the current administrative capital of the Umno-led BN federal government was a brainchild of former premier Dr Mahathir Mohammad. He spend billions of Ringgit in developing the district and have it upgraded into a Federal Territory as soon as the construction of the new capital was completed.

Then, he instructed the development of a heavenly kingdom within Putrajaya which symbolised the Umno-BN's decades of rule by constructing monuments like the "Astaka Morocco" and the "Monumen Alaf Baru" which he claimed will attract visitors to the new capital.

The construction of the so-called heavenly kingdom within Putrajaya cost them another RM41.0 million and couple with another, say about RM400,000.00 annually for maintenance and to upkeep the area on regular basis. Does all these benefit or bring any good for our people? No wonder the federal government said they are going to bankrupt soon.

This is what happens when these monuments and huge structures are constructed just to fulfill the ego, greed, lust and fantasies of some political leaders claiming themselves to be of supreme in nature and hoping that other people would one day admire and worship them like gods.

Actually, with all these monuments and structures, it does not really symbolise Umno or BN rule in our nation, nor it shows how great a leader was once upon a time? It only symbolises the true nature of how our nation has been totally abused and brutalised by the present dictatorship and all undemocratic means engineered by Umno and its BN coalition.

Not only Felda itself is going bankrupt, we supposed the entire federal government is going bankrupt as well. We do not know how many more "white elephant" projects out there which are yet to be exposed but we are certain that there will be too many to describe.

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

-

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
