Tuesday, 02 December 2008 01:18

Ramlan Abu Bakar, the president of the movement said “Our struggle is to keep the rental rate for government low-cost houses under the People’s Housing Scheme from going up. We wanted a police permit to strip in front of the State Secretariat as a sign of protest but we were denied it, so, now we will stalk the Mentri Besar and go butt naked when we get the chance. We will go naked to get the message across. Our act is to humiliate or embarrass the Mentri Besar for not keeping to his general election promises to help the low-income earners,”

It is my belief that if money politics is not curbed, Umno and Barisan Nasional will lose in the next general election. This is my greatest worry -- more than political will is needed to make a change and lip service will not curb such ill practices,”

Tuesday, 02 December 2008 01:23
Mohamad Fairus Khairuddin, the Chief Minister 1 of Penang has denied rumours that he will be replaced and that there has been no indication from the PKR of such an incident.

If he wants to join the party, I am happy and welcome him but I don’t think he will replace me. Since day one of my appointment, certain quarters have been trying to pull me down. I am the youngest DCM in the history of Malaysian politics so of course there is jealousy. I was voted in by the people. They will not get rid of me because I am a fighter and I will never retreat,”

Civil servants who threatened public tarnshing image - PM
Tuesday, 02 December 2008 01:15
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has hit out at civil servants who threatened members of the public who have complained against them for tarnishing the image of the entire civil service. He said “There are contractors who complain about the delays involved in the review of the costs of the projects awarded to them following the increase in the price of building materials, or of late payment. And when the complaints are channelled to the right people, the civil servants involved make threats against the complainants. This is an arrogant attitude and goes against our ethics of delivering service to the public. These contractors need fast assistance as they have commitments to fulfil under their contacts. How would the civil servants feel if they were treated this way?”

He added that “If said officer is not around, what’s wrong in taking and passing on letters and messages from members of public? We should not just understand our work procedures in order to be efficient, but to take care of our attitude and characters as well. We want to increase domestic consumption and further spur our economy so that our businesses can compete both globally and domestically. We have managed to achieve an average of 4.7% growth for the three-quarters of the year. For the last quarter, we should at least achieve 3.5%, which will give us an overall growth of 5% or even 5.5% for this entire year,”

Abolish vernacular schools - Mukhriz
Tuesday, 02 December 2008 01:14
Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir has called on the abolishment of vernacular schools and implementation of a single school system in the effort to unite all races. He said “The government should consider introducing only one school system with Bahasa Malaysia as the medium of instruction, except for Science and Mathematics which are already being taught in English. Of course, pupils should then be given the option to study their mother tongues. Under this system, the Malays will also have the option of studying other languages like Mandarin and Tamil and this will further boost unity among them,”
He added that “If they reject this suggestion, then they should explain why they are against it. How is it possible for them on one hand to talk about unity and question Malay rights, while on the other hand still insist on having a different school system for their race? If you want equal rights then you cannot have a different school sistem. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. If they insist on making statements on that issue, then do not be surprised if the Malays start talking about the economic supremacy of the non-Malays. Despite all that has been said on the issue of Malay supremacy, the Malays do not feel in any way superior or the master when it comes to the country’s economy,”
