Penang Exco members made public of their assets

-

Members of the Penang State Executive Council (Exco) together with Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had declared and made public of their assets. This is the first time that a state government' exco members has officially declare their assets to the public.

The exco's asset declaration fulfills personal obligation and political will of the state government. It has also been confirmed that an independent and renowned accounting firm KPMG has conducted an audit onto the assets of these exco members.

KPMG partner Ooi Kok Seong had confirmed that the firm's auditor had carried out their job independently, objectively and free from any conflict of interest. Our congratulations to Guan Eng and his team for their commitment towards the goal to ensure a clean governance.

Now, will the other BN governed states' exco members as well as the federal government ministers and deputy ministers under Umno president Najib Razak ever dare to do the same by declaring all their assets to the public?

Did you all know that the one diamond ring bought by Najib's wife values so much higher than the total assets owned by Guan Eng and his entire exco line-up. Not even that, a BN cabinet minister or an Umno state exco member may also have a total asset of more than the whole Penang state exco members. No wonder till today none of them has ever dare to make public of their assets.

Just look at the example of BN minister and Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Abd Jalil's total assets both locally and what has reported in Singapore? It shows that all these assets were obtained via blatant abuse of power, corruption, mismanagement and swindling of public funds for their own interests.

And now these Umno leaders are using racism to cover-up all their corrupt businesses.

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...
