Opposition Leader's application to hold conference on free and fair elections in Parliament rejected by Dewan Rakyat Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia. PETALING JAYA: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia has rejected Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim's application to hold an International Conference on Malaysia's 13th General Election in Parliament. In a statement today, the conference's chair convener, Abd Malek Hussin, said that Speaker felt the event was politically motivated. "Pandikar justified his decision by saying that he has to sustain the integrity, supremacy and sovereignity of Parliament," said Malik. As a result of the Speaker's decision, the organising committee has now decided to hold the conference at the Lake Club in Kuala Lumpur. Anwar, had on Feb 26, said that he had gotten permission from Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Aziz and Pandikar to hold the conference in Parliament on March 4 and 5.

When one reads or talks about the Malay unity, the thoughts/reflections or discussions could possibly lead to the story of Hang Tuah and his warrior-brethren. We would be particularly intrigued with the puzzle of the Tuah–Jebat fratricidal conflict. But let us skip the vexing yet perplexing question of why and how Tuah could bring himself to kill his warrior-brethren, his best friend, a man who actually loved and defended him and his honour against a tyrant who wanted to execute Tuah, Ironically Tuah acted on the orders of the very tyrant. Let us instead mull over the seven conditions that the legendary Puteri Gunung Ledang (the Princess of Mount Ophir) set as pre-marital conditions for the tyrannical sultan who lusted after her. Apparently, as the story tells us, Tuah was the emissary for the royal proposal of marriage. The Princess demanded seven impossible con! ditions, far more unachievable than the 12 tasks Heracles was required to accomplish. They consisted of golden and silv

February 28, 2013 Pak Kadiak: Smartphone may cause trouble in GE-13 by Hazlan Zakaria@ http://www.malaysiakini.com A veteran media practitioner believes that the common smartphone, and its more than common capabilities, may cause trouble in the 13th General Election (GE-13), if authorities are not prepared for it. "This coming election may not be as smooth if the people involved in the process do not pay attention to the power of the smartphone," said blogger and veteran editor A Kadir Jasin at a forum on the changing landscape of media in the face of the upcoming general election in Kuala Lumpur today. "In GE-13 things can be complicated and go wrong if you don't preempt. Unless you can ban the smartphone, there may be problems," he argued. Kadir said that this is because all sorts of rumours, chit-chat and false news can be conveniently spread on the devices which can lead to low voter turnouts or crisis situations. He warned that a single pictur

Diorang semua kerja kuat ma. Bab tu diorang berjaya la. The  statement  most likely to bring a slight smile or snarl to your face. Or maybe a mixture of both... Claiming that his sons are successful in business or politics only because of their own hard work, Mahathir said,  "If they succeed in business or politics, it is due to their own effort. And all this took place after I resigned as prime minister." NIAMAH!!! POSTED BY  PATRICKTEOH   Read More @ Source More » Barisan Nasional (BN) | Pakatan Rakyat (PR) | Sociopolitics Plus | 大马社会政治

February 28, 2013 Former ISA Detainee admits to processing I/Cs for Illegals In Sabah by Zulaikha Zulkifli @ http://www.malaysiakini.com A former ISA detainee has claimed she and her group had helped process "thousands of identity cards" for Sabah illegal immigrants in the early 1990s to help topple the PBS state government. Sixty-three-year-old Siti Aminah Mahmud ( right ) was detained under ISA in 1995 for two years for her alleged involvement in the IC project. Speaking at a press conference in Petaling Jaya today, she described how she had been tasked with collecting information for the illegal immigrants' IC application and handing the issued ICs to village chiefs throughout Sabah, to be issued to foreigners who were mostly Indonesians and Filipinos. Siti Aminah said she had been instructed to facilitate the issuance of ICs for the foreigners as part of a plan to help UMNO take over Sabah."It was in the early 1990s, I was told to help UMNO to conte

Malay rights group Perkasa has challenged former private investigator P Balasubramaniam, who has just returned to the country to campaign for Pakatan Rakyat, to furnish evidence to back his allegations that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is involved in the murder of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu. Utusan Malaysia  today reported that the NGO's president Ibrahim Ali said that should Bala fail to do so, it shows that there is a conspiracy by a group of pro-opposition lawyers to defame Najib and the government. Ibrahim ( right ) claimed that Bala and the opposition want to create a negative perception against the government through "rhetorical ceramah". "If you want to have ceramah everywhere without giving evidence, anyone can do that. "As long as Bala can't substantiate his accusation, the people should not trust the ridiculous allegation against Najib," the Pasir Mas MP was quoted as sayin! g.

Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf)  de facto  leader P Uthayakumar has slammed Pakatan Rakyat's manifesto for overlooking its 18-point demand to assist the Indian community. He said that while Pakatan supremo Anwar Ibrahim has  offered to fix   an omission in the manifesto by adding in Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang's oil royalty, Hindraf's demands did not receive the same treatment.   Uthayakumar, who is also the Human Rights Party pro-tem secretary-general, questioned whether the manifesto  transcends racial boundaries  as Anwar had claimed on Tuesday. "There are zero provisions in the manifesto to undo these 56 years of ongoing Umno racism-cum-injusti! ces victimising the most vulnerable community in Malaysia, like the Indian poor. "(Although) Pakatan shouted  ubah (change), the manifesto does not include undoing these injustices," Uthayakumar said in a statement today. To illustrate his point, Uthayakumar described the condition of a 61-year-old I
