Front page of today the Sun paper reports:
Kuala Lumpur: The government will spend RM160 billion on people-centred projects that will bring tangible benefits and improve the quality of life...
Projects that are not people-centred under the original plan will be put on hold ... These include the RM2 billion Penang Monorail and RM1.5 Penang Outer Ring Road...
Najib said the federal government was not punishing the voters for voting the Pakatan Rakyat.
These 2 projects were planned for Penang by BN government, now they are saying that these 2 projects are not priority and not people-centred. I cannot fathom the logic why the 2 projects are not people-centred since they are improving the transportation in Penang. Now they say they want to use the money for rural roads!
Any way 3.5 out 0f 160 billion is only 2% of the total budget. What more they are adding another RM30 billion to the budget (after 40% of fuel hike!) They are now giving RM1 billion to Sabah since SAPP wanted to give our PM a vote of no confidence.
The people had spoken, yet they have not heard. Looked like we need to speak louder in the next election.

SMKSU Prefects’ Reunion Friday, June 20, 2008
Few months ago, I was invited to the Prefects’ Reunion of SMK Subang Utama to be held next week. I just received news that I could no longer attend the function because I’m an assemblyman from Pakatan Rakyat.
Two prefects have confirmed that the teachers have issued a threat to the prefects to withdraw their invitation to me and if not, the event would be cancelled.
I am upset with this. Let me explain to you why this threat by the teachers is so fundamentally wrong:-
this is a private function to be held outside the school; every past and present prefect is entitled to attend this event; and
I was the Head Prefect for 1995/1996 and was one of the pioneers to start this yearly reunion for the prefects.I am not a criminal or a bad role model. All I did was this, exercised my right to vote, exercised my right to stand for election, to stand up for my generation and to fight corruption. As a young person, I am not afraid to stand up for righteous principles, not afraid of intimidation by the ’supposedly powerful’ groups but today I am told that I am not a welcoming sight at a function which I championed and fought for many years ago.
In school, we were taught to be good role models and to be someone successful someday who will contribute positively back to the society. I have done just that. The very same people who taught me these values are now telling me that I am no longer accepted because I’m an assemblyman from Pakatan Rakyat.
Blogging about this brings tears to my eyes. Why? This is such a sad state for our schools to be in, for our young generation to endure and succumb to irrational threats like this. For 50 years, we were told not to question, not to challenge and not to speak up - even if it impinges on your fundamental rights.
I am not insisting to attend this function and neither am I insisting to be a special guest at the function. I am telling you - students, graduates, working adults and parents, if you choose to remain silent and succumb to threats like this, there is little hope left for Malaysia. It could be your daughter/son who’s in my place. Remember the young ones are watching. Some are being brain-washed. Some are now confused - here you have a 29 year old assemblyman who is speaking up against corruption for the sake of our nation and they’re told that this is not a welcoming figure and that she is not accepted at school or private functions.
I was a little exhausted prior to this because of work, complaints and issues but this has caused my heart to stir. It has sealed my heart for a cause. The cause is this - to continuously speak up against oppression in this nation. My conscience tells me I am right before God, I have not acted unfairly towards others by stealing taxpayers’ money and I am inspiring the young to stand up for what is right.
Our education system is trying to breed students who cannot think for themselves, issue threats when everything else fails. I am the ex Head Prefect of my school and I am entitled to attend the reunion to meet up with my fellow schoolmates, to catch up on old times and share some old jokes. I am now denied that right.
How many of you would stand alongside me for this cause?

Allegation on Altantuya murder by Raja Petra Kamaruddin
The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor cannot remain silent on the latest ALLEGATION of blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin.
In a statutory declaration on June 18, 2008, Raja Petra accused Rosmah as among three individuals who were present when Altantuya was murdered on Oct 19, 2006.
Raja Petra further alleged:
“My informer states that Aziz was the person who placed the C4 on various parts of Altantuya’s body witnessed by Rosmah and Norhayati.
“I make this statutory declaration because I have been reliably informed about the involvement of these three people who have thus far not been implicated in the murder nor called as witnesses by the prosecution in the ongoing trial at the Shah Alam High Court.
“I also make this statutory declaration because I am aware that it is a crime not to reveal evidence that may help the police in its investigation of the crime.”
The credibility and legitimacy of the Abdullah premiership and government will suffer a mortal blow if Abdullah, Najib and Rosmah remain silent on Raja Petra’s allegation.

Oil price hike and Petronas
With the drastic rise of 40% petrol price, the prices of all goods are rising rapidly. This has caused an upheaval in the economy and much unhappiness among the people. businesses are stalling, and there is undertainty about the future.
Let us look at some of the reasons why the drastic rise of fuel price is too excessive:
COMPARISON OF PUMP PRICES BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND OTHER OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES.
Saudi Arabia RM 0.38
UAE 1.19
Egypt 1.03
Bahrain 0.87
Qatar 0.68
Kuwait 0.67
Iran 0.35
Nigeria 0.32
Turkmenistan 0.25
Venezuela 0.16
MALAYSIA 2.70/LITRE
COST OF OIL PRODUCTION
As the production cost per litre is only 7.49 sen, don't you think RM2.70 per litre is too much?
There is no justification for pump price of petrol to be RM2.70 which is way above the price set in other oil producing countries in Middle East, Africa or South America.
With the increase of oil price in the world, as an oil exporter we should be making lots of money!Our natural resources should be used to help people and not to profit recklessly at their expense. Prime Minister Abdullah has a lot of explaining to do.
Petronas should be more transparent and be people friendly.
PETRONAS PROFIT
Petronas produces 650,000 barrels of oil each day, out of which 250,000 barrels were for export and the balance of 450,000 barrels for domestic consumption.
At US$130 per barrel, less US$10 for production cost, profit per barrel would be US$120.
Estimated profit per year would be 250,000 x 120 x 365 x 3.3= RMR 36.1 billion
If we include profits from natural gas, investments in other countries, Petronas’s earnings would reach record levels.
PETRONAS WEALTH TO REDUCE SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE.
The evidence is definitely against any increase of pump prices for Malaysians. Pump prices should return to a reasonable level - the same as in other oil producing countries.
REFORM PETRONAS
Since its inauguration in Parliament in mid seventies, its operations have been shrouded in secrecy. It is time for Petronas to be answerable to Parliament, to open its accounts to the people and to institute new policies for a healthy and vibrant industry

Fuel price hike
How is the rising cost affectting the common man? Thousands assembled at the intersection of Odeon and Sogo, at 2.30pm on last Friday to voiced their disapproval at what possibly is the biggest petrol price hike, the world over, put out by our ruling government. I wonder at how the ordinary wage earners are to maintain their families on megre monthly incomes.
Really if the leaders were truly committed to the Rakyat and were honest and not wasteful, the Rakyat would not have given vent to this much of anger. All those Billions wasted on Mega Projects, in wasteful expenditure in keeping a bloated and sluggish bureaucracy to work as a mere vote bank for the ruling party to remain in control.
The token 10% cut in entertainment, is a mere drop in the ocean, does not reflect the sincerity of the Federal Government. Give up your overseas holidays – we tell our leaders, change your life styles, ours is already at the rock bottom.
With this Petrol hike, the common man will find it very hard to survive, literally, all things have increased in their prices. take for example, a loaf of bread of 660gms used to cost RM 2.30 had increased to RM2.60 and recently gone up to RM2.80. I counted the slices, there are only 23 slices! Imagine a simple slice of bread cost more than 12 sen! How to live?
The Rakyat's voice must be heard!
Suara Rakyat!!! Makkal Sakthi!!!

Malaysia's corruption at critical level
Channel News Asia
Asia Pacific News
Watchdog says Malaysia's corruption at critical levelPosted: 12 June 2008 1759 hr
KUALA LUMPUR - Corruption in Malaysia has reached a critical level as the country falls in international rankings, a graft watchdog announced Thursday, warning the government to act or lose its competitiveness. The UN's Asia-Pacific Human Development Report highlighted an International Country Risk Guide finding which saw Malaysia decline from a score of 4.00 in 1996 to 2.38 in 2006, with a lower score representing greater corruption. "It is worrying because it is a business index which reflects on our domestic investment, foreign direct investment and confidence in the economy," said Ramon Navaratnam, country head of graft watchdog Transparency International. "Corruption is at a critical level here," he said. He said corruption in Malaysia was deeply entrenched in the negotiation of contracts. Bribes were paid to government officials to speed up trade licences, for police protection and for loan transactions. "Our economic structure, the way we do business here, needs to be reviewed, renewed and redesigned," Navaratnam said, warning that Malaysia could lose its competitive edge if it remained "complacent and inefficient." "Malaysia can do much better if there is stronger political will to fight corruption. Given the rapid pace of globalisation and increasing economic competition among Asian countries, it's time to pull our socks up," he said. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was elected on an anti-corruption platform in March 2004, but opposition leaders say progress has been slow. Following his government's recent drubbing in national polls he announced several measures to tackle corruption and reform what many view as a compliant judiciary. A royal commission recently authenticated a tape showing a top lawyer brokering judicial appointments with the help of politicians during the premiership of former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. Earlier this week, a senior judge said judges were indoctrinated and threatened with dismissal to pressure them into making pro-government decisions during the former premier's rule. - AFP/vm

PM: No need for inquiry
The Sun Thursday June 12, 2008 reported:
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yesterday said
there is no need for inquiry to investigate the stunning revelation by High Court judge Datuk Ian Chin of Sabah that judges were pressured into making pro-government decisions at a conference in April, 1997.
The Prime Minister and the de facto Law Minister, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim have both thought that there is no need to call for an inquiry into the latest allegation levelled by High Court judge, Justice Datuk Ian Chin against former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.
“No need…there will be no end to this. Instead, we will carry out reforms to restore confidence in the judiciary” said Abdullah.
“Another inquiry will not reveal anything more than what we already know. It will be a waste of time and money. Instead, we need to look at ensuring such incidents do not happen again…” said Zaid.
A Royal Commission of Inquiry into the two decades of judicial darkness, including the boot camp for delinquent judges, is important to fully restore public confidence in the system of justice in Malaysia. Can one assume whatever one knows before even an investigation? To be fair to both sides the accusor and the accused should be given the chance to clear their names. Why not? Unless some people are afraid they are implicated or they have something to hide. An accusation of this magnitude by a High Court judge should be given priority. One should not be so assuming as tough it is a complaint made by a small boy to his teacher.
There has been much rot and decay of the judicial system in the past two decades.
Datuk Ian Chin has made very serious allegations of Mahathir’s interference with judicial independence when he was Prime Minister , viz:
• Mahathir had gone to a judges conference “to issue a thinly veiled threat to remove judges by referring to the tribunal that was set up before”.
• Mahathir expressed unhappiness over Chin’s decision on a libel suit and an election petition, and expressed the view that people should pay heavily for libel.
• Mahathir had promoted a judge to the Federal Court because he approved of his suggestion of RM1 million as damages for libel.
• Chin also said he was sent to a “boot camp” with selected judges and judicial officers in “an attempt to indoctrinate those attending to hold the view that the government’s interest” was “more important than all else when we are considering our judgments”. He accused the then president of the Court of Appeal as the one who made the “devilish notion”.
Zaid had admitted that he was hearing about the “boot camp” for delinquent judges for the first time, adding that it was something that should not have happened.But why is he hanging back from supporting a full inquiry into the “boot camp” allegation, which until it is fully cleared up?
The Prime Minister and de facto Law Minister should realize that the best way to ensure that there is no recurrence of judicial outrages and scandals like those exposed by Chin is to unearth all the skeletons hidden in the cupboards, during the two decades of judicial darkness and subject them to the glare of public scrutiny.
Abdullah said he has finally heard the voice of the people after the March 8 “political tsunami”, and if so, he should set up a full Royal Commission of Inquiry into the two decades of judicial darkness.
Do you think this is what the overwhelming majority of Malaysians want? A proper inquiry and cleaning up?

Myanma Mercy Mission
The Melaka team has decided to send all the donations, after getting the permission from the donors to the Myanma Hospital Christian Fellowship doctors and nurses who are in Myanma.
This is so because we are not able to get the visa to get in. The leaders in Melaka think that it is not fair to keep the Melaka team at a stand by for too long.
Well I am happy that we don't go. We may end up in disaster with no proper support from the Junta. Is dangerous.
What do you think the international community need to do to help the people of Myanma with such a Junta?
Many are praying for the collapse of the Junta especially after they had been encouraged by the March 8th. Tsunami Political results in Malaysia.
