Seri Perdana's renovation again! RM65 million to be thrown

-
The prime minister and finance minister I, Datuk Seri Najib Razak had recently announced in his budget speech that an amount of RM65 million has been allocated to renovate his official residence, Seri Perdana in Putrajaya.

Najib, who is also the Umno president and BN chairman had also announced in his recent budget speech several mega projects which is to be undertaken by his federal government, where the most expensive 100-storey Warisan Merdeka tower which will cost RM5.o billion will be erected in the middle of Kuala Lumpur city next to the Stadium Merdeka.

We understand that prior to Najib's premiership, former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had also allocate millions of Ringgit to renovate the official residence to fit his needs and requirements.

Just look at Seri Perdana (picture above). One renovation after another. Did Najib allocate this fund to renovate just to create a legacy of himself in the official residence, or to move away Abdullah and Mahathir's designs? Or is there isn't enough rooms or facilities to accommodate his wife Rosmah Mansor and her relatives as well as their children and grandchildren?

Come on? Seri Perdana is an official residence of the prime minister and that does not belong solely to Najib or Rosmah. If you have too many relatives or family members, then move them elsewhere or buy them some houses (with your own money, please!) instead of using the public fund to serve the interest of your huge family.

Has Najib forgotten that minister in the prime minister's department Datuk Seri Idris Jala had previously said that the federal government is in the verge of bankruptcy if the various subsidies on the consumer goods are not withdrawn?

Is Najib going to tell our people that there will be no worries on keeping the treasury full, because he, in his capacity as finance minister could instruct Bank Negara to print more money when the treasury depletes. If that so, then our currency will face devaluation in the market.

And when our currency devalues continuously, our nation's economy will face a very grave uncertainties. And when all these happens, our people will suffer. Is this what Najib wants?

Until now, we have yet to hear what is Najib's justification on all these wasting expenditures in his government. We supposed Najib wanted to feed his Umno contractors as they had lost their businesses in Selangor, Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Perak previously.

That is how Najib uses our tax money for his personal and political interests.

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.

No action against YBs without speaker's consent

-
Penang assembly Speaker Law Choo Kiang said the police and attorney-general (AG) cannot prosecute any elected representatives for any wrongdoings committed in the House. Law said the authorities cannot act on the assemblypersons without the agreement of the speaker. "So this clearly cancels the (planned) charge against Seri Delima assemblyperson RSN Rayer for sedition under the 1948 Sedition Act," the PKR Bukit Tambun assemblyperson said in a statement yesterday. Law said a warning based on the assembly's standing orders has been issued to Rayer not to repeat the remark "Umno celaka" (damned Umno), which the latter allegedly uttered in the House on May 20. Based on the standing orders, the 10 disgruntled Umno assemblypersons were also told to table an emergency motion to the Penang special assembly committee to deal with their indignation over Rayer's remark, Law added. "But Umno failed to obtain enough quorum or votes for the motion, so they couldn...
