'Dangerous' to publicly disclose ministers' assets

-
According to Umno supreme council member and minister in the prime minister's department Datuk Nazri Aziz, revealing the asset declarations of ministers and their immediate family members to the general public should not be done, "as this may endanger them".

We would like to seek further clarification from Nazri about "endangering" these ministers and their families. Are they afraid that all robbers, snatch thieves, gangsters or any other kind of criminals will be lining up in front of their residence to rob their money or kidnapping them for ransom?

If this is the case, then Nazri would then had admitted that this country is unsafe for even the ministers and their families. And by saying that would also mean that Nazri had indirectly "slapped" the face of Umno vice-president and home affairs minister Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein because the police force under him is inefficient in their duties and responsibilities.

Or, is it the "danger" to the ministers, their spouses and families means our people will be shocked to find out how much of wealth, power and privilege that they have accumulated over the years as ministers and deputy ministers. It is very clear that their current lifestyle and behaviours both in public and private cannot be sustained based on their "official" salaries and perks. Most of them are super billionaires living beyond what they had earned as a minister, members of parliament, state executive councillors, state assemblymen and so on.

So, are these the "dangers" that you and your colleagues are fearing of?

By the way, this is very simple. Everyone knows the results. The disclosure of these ministers' assets to the public is 'dangerous' because all of them will certainly be imprisoned for various kind corruptions, power abuses, mismanagement and commercial breach of trusts.

No need to give any other reasons nor excuses.

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.

Singapore Malay daily teaches Mahathir about hardwork

The former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's assumption that Malays in Singapore had failed and their neighbouring Malays should take lesson from their plight has not impressed a Singaporean daily. The republic's Malay daily Berita Harian in an editorial said Malay-Muslims in the republic state were successful and it was a result of their real efforts and hard work in line with the values of meritocracy, not a result of being spoon-fed. “We do not believe in being spoon-fed or being too dependent on the government - in other words, we do not have a crutch mentality,' wrote editor Guntor Sadali. Guntor said Singapore Malays believed that a community with such a mentality would soon become a “two M” community, which stands for ‘manja’ (spoilt), and ‘malas’ (lazy). “We definitely do not want to be labelled as a pampered and lazy community,” he said, adding that the Malay community in the island raised their own funds to build Islamic schools, mosques and other community pro...
