Latest Update: December 06, 2013 12:41 am

Pemimpin veteran Umno Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir mengesyorkan agar slogan 1Malaysia yang diperkenalkan Datuk Seri Najib Razak ditukar kepada 1Melayu kerana tidak mendapat sokongan bukan Melayu semasa Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU13) lalu.

Musa, yang juga perwakilan dari Pulau Pinang, mendakwa masyarakat bukan Melayu telah menikam dari belakang sehingga menyebabkan Barisan Nasional tewas di kebanyakan kerusi yang demografiknya terdiri daripada pelbagai bangsa.

"Kita tak payah lagi cakap 1Malaysia tukar kepada 1Melayu.

"Buat apa nak tolong depa (mereka), kita tolong depa, depa tikam belakang kita," kata Musa, yang juga Setiausaha Badan Perhubungan Umno negeri Pulau Pinang. – 5 Disember 2013.

Don’t worry if people call us racists

coolpeople — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 16:41:31 +0800

Umno members should not worry if they are called racists, a youth exco member told the Umno general assembly today.

"Don't worry if others accuse us of being racists because we are only protecting our rights.

"Not only that, we also protect the rights of others," said Fathul Bari during a debate.

He then drew a parallel with the DAP, asking what the Chinese-dominated party has contributed to all Malaysians.

"Look at their contribution... more for their own race... so do not blame Umno for empowering our race (Malay). Do not prevent us from defending our race," he said to loud applause from the delegates.

The call to uphold Malay rights and supremacy has been repeated throughout the assembly.

In his speech, Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, who is also the Youth and Sports Minister, had castigated non-Malay companies for not hiring Malay chief executives.

Meanwhile, former Puteri Umno chief Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said warned that Umno should engage with the youth and not lament later of a "youth tsunami", after the so-called "Chinese tsunami" in the last election.

PKR vice-president N. Surendran, on the other hand, accused Umno of being a hurdle to racial harmony.

“Umno's racial politics has polarised the nation and continues to build walls between the various races in our country,” he said today. - December 5, 2013.

PM orders probe into alleged opposition involvement in Sulu intrusion

March 03, 2013

KANGAR, March 3 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has ordered the intelligence authorities to investigate a claim that an opposition leader had a hand in the armed intrusion in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

He said the allegation was a serious matter but there must be strong evidence to identify the mastermind.

Najib (picture) said he was puzzled as to why the armed men came to Sabah at a time when the country was about to hold a general election when the Sulu Sultanate had laid claim to Sabah a long time ago.

"All avenues must be investigated. (Philippine) President (Benigno S.) Aquino (III) also wants to know the truth. The whole episode is a major embarrassment for the Philippine government.

"They do not wish to see their citizens involved in aggression, violence, use of weapons and killing of our people," he told reporters after opening the main campus of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) in Pauh, near here, today. — Bernama

Tokong LGE says Penang 8 Billion traffic projects

Penang’s traffic projects will decide Pakatan’s fate in GE13

March 02, 2013

KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 – In an apparent climbdown, Lim Guan Eng is leaving it to Penangites to decide in Election 2013 if they want highway projects and a new tram system that have split support for his proposal to resolve the island state’s massive traffic woes.

The Penang chief minister (picture) has come under fire from civil society groups and opposition politicians over the four-highway projects that includes an underwater tunnel to link the island half to the mainland, and his idea to restart tram lines in George Town instead of building a monorail system.

“The PR Penang state government will submit to the will of 1.6 million Penangites, who will decide on the tender award of 4 highway improvement projects of RM6.3 billion, including South East Asia first underwater sea tunnel from Gurney Drive to Bagan Ajam,” the Penang chief minister said in a statement.

His Pakatan Rakyat (PR) state government had recently awarded the highway deal to a consortium comprising a local company and Beijing Urban Construction Group, the Chinese construction company that built the Beijing Olympic Stadium Bird Nest.

“Should PR win power in Putrajaya, PR is also proposing a tram system throughout the state linking both the island and the mainland,” Lim said.

The first-term CM said the monorail idea proposed by the Barisan Nasional (BN) state opposition would not be suitable for a world heritage city like George Town and it’s elevated structure would “destroy Penang’s charms”.

The massive road projects involved a 6.5km underground tunnel that links Gurney Drive to Bagan Ajam on the mainland, a 4.2km highway linking Gurney Drive to Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, a 4.6km highway linking Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway to Bandar Baru Air Itam bypass and a 12km road connecting Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang.

The project had drawn mixed reactions from the public with some supporting it while civil society groups such as the Consumer Association of Penang was against it, saying that it will only bring in more traffic to the island to cause even more congestion.

Lim has refused to drop the billion ringgit mega infrastructure projects despite strong objections by civil society group, Penang Forum yesterday, saying his hands were tied due to the separation of state and federal powers that placed the public transport portfolio squarely within the authority of Putrajaya.

In a two-hour dialogue session between Lim and 12 representatives from the Penang Forum on Thursday, the social activists had demanded the state cancel the project.

They had voiced their unhappiness at the PR state government’s unseemly haste in pushing through the project without taking the initiative to carry out an independent environmental impact assessment (EIA).

They had also demanded that an efficient public transportation be put in place instead of the construction of more roads, which they claimed could cause more traffic congestion.

Ahmad Chik, one of the Penang Forum members, said research had shown that the construction of more highways and a third link between the island and the mainland will only attract more traffic which will not resolve the congestion.

Lim told them his hands were tied when it came to public transport so he had no choice but to build roads instead.

“I can’t just leave the situation and twiddle my thumbs, I have to do something to alleviate the congestion,” he said.

He reminded them that public transport is under the purview of the federal government so even if the state wanted to implement any public transport system, they needed the approval of the federal government.

The chief minister eventually bowed to the pressure and promised to carry out an EIA, the cost of which would be borne by the contractor.

Penang won’t cancel RM8 billion project but will conduct independent EIA

March 1 — Penang has refused to cancel its RM8 billion mega infrastructure project consisting of an underground tunnel and three main highways despite strong objections by civil society group, Penang Forum.

In a two-hour dialogue session between the Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and 12 representatives from the Penang Forum, the latter had demanded that the state cancel the project but Lim refused to bow to their demands.

They had also demanded that an efficient public transportation be put in place instead of the construction of more roads, which they claimed could cause more traffic congestion.

Lim told them his hands were tied when it came to public transport so he had no choice but to build roads instead.

“I can’t just leave the situation and twiddle my thumbs, I have to do something to alleviate the congestion,” he said.

He reminded them that public transport is under the purview of the federal government so even if the state wanted to implement any public transport system, they needed the approval of the federal government.

“One example of this is when we proposed to RapidPenang that we will pay them RM10 million to provide free service during peak hours a few years ago and though they had agreed verbally, somehow it never materialised,” he said.

“This clearly shows public transportation is beyond our powers so we do the next best thing, we build roads for traffic dispersal,” he said.

However, Lim said the commencement of the project is dependent on the signing of the contract with the contractor on the deal and also the final Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report which will be undertaken by the contractor.

The group then demanded an assurance that the project will not cause a massive impact to the environment and asked that an independent company be appointed to conduct an unbiased EIA.

The EIA conducted by companies appointed by contractors usually sided the contractor so it is more important to have an independent company to do the EIA, they said.

To allay their concerns on the environmental impact of the project and their demands that an unbiased EIA is conducted, Lim agreed that the state government will consider their proposal of appointing an independent company to conduct the EIA.

“We will consider appointing an independent company which the contractor will have to pay for as we are not going to pay for the EIA,” he told the NGO representatives.

Ahmad Chik, one of the Penang Forum members, said research has shown that the construction of more highways and a third link between the island and the mainland will only attract more traffic which will not resolve the congestion problem.

The group also demanded that the state government provide an alternative link such as a bus link using the Penang Bridge and that “access fee” be charged on vehicles entering Penang.

Lim strongly disagreed with the group’s proposed “access fee” by stating that it would only deter visitors from coming to the state.

“We have other considerations to make and our considerations must not only be island-centric but must be state-centric as we must also include the mainland,” he said.

The group had also questioned Lim’s motives behind awarding the project to a contractor just several weeks before the polls is expected to be called.

The also asked Lim if the project will proceed if Pakatan Rakyat (PR) managed to take over Putrajaya as it would mean the PR state would finally have a say in matters that were under the federal government’s jurisdiction.

Public transportation is beyond our powers so we do the next best thing, we build roads for traffic dispersal. — Lim Guan Eng

“If we do take over Putrajaya, we would seriously consider implementing a tram system here as we feel that a monorail system is not sustainable and unsuitable for a heritage city,” he said.

He said the tram system would be complemented by a road system as the tram will need to use road space too.

“We have to admit the three highways, the dual carriageway linking Teluk Bahang to Tanjung Bungah, the Air Itam bypass linking to Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway and the Gurney Drive link to the same expressway are all important to clear up traffic in these areas,” he said.

Yesterday, the state government had announced the awarding of the tender for the project to a Malaysian-China join venture company, Consortium Zenith BUCG Sdn Bhd and that the deal did not involve cash except for a land swap.

It will take a few months before the contract for the project is finalised and it will only be formally signed, so as to be legally binding, after both parties have agreed to the details of the contract which is under discussion now.

Monorail operations interrupted after rubber tyre bursts
January 29, 2013

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 – Monorail operations in the city were interrupted after one of the rubber tyres of the Titiwangsa-bound monorail burst near the KL Monorail Chow Kit Station, here, today.

Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad Berhad (Prasarana) Senior Manager for Communications and Media Affairs Azhar Ghazali said swift action by the driver of the monorail managed to ensure the passengers safety.

“The driver, Rizalman Rosli, 37, managed to bring the train to a safe halt when the tyre burst at 6.30pm. A train was dispatched to conduct coupling exercise to bring the stranded train to the nearest station.

“When the coupling exercise was extended, a rescue train was dispatched and reached the scene at 7.15pm to conduct train-to-train evacuation,” he said in a statement.

Chief Operating Officer of KL Monorail Abdul Hadi Amran said the evacuation was successfully completed by 7.24pm and all 200 passengers were safe and that the air-conditioning on the train was operational throughout the evacuation period.

He added that the KL Monorail rescue team managed the evacuation with the support of the Fire and Rescue Services Department.

“We are providing alternative services at our stations until the monorail services resume,” he said.

Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department director Khiruddin Drahman in an SMS said 29 fire and rescue personnel from the Hang Tuah, Setapak, Titiwangsa and Sentul fire station were involved in the rescue exercise.

He said they helped evacuate 169 passengers – 103 women, 60 men and a child using fire engines equipped with ladders. – Bernama

Soi Lek agrees that PAS condones rape of non-Musli

Soi Lek agrees that PAS condones rape of non-Muslim women

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 – Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek agreed today with a Wanita MCA leader’s view that PAS condones the raping of non-Muslim women, pointing out that the party’s spiritual leader Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat had made the opinion clear in a speech four years ago.

The MCA president (picture) alleged that in the 2008 speech,[size=7] Nik Aziz had said that women who do not “tutup aurat” (protect their modesty) “deserved to be raped”. [size=7]

“And the reason he gave was that this is because the eye is connected to the genitalia so when you see… you get provoked.

“This is not what I am saying… this is what Nik Aziz said. I can get you a tape immediately if you are interesting in seeing (Nik Aziz’s speech),” he told reporters after chairing a special briefing with MCA delegates ahead of the party’s main annual general meeting (AGM) tomorrow.

Dr Chua was ask to comment on a Malaysiakini report quoting Wanita MCA vice-chairman Senator Heng Seai Kie as saying during the wing’s AGM earlier today that PAS condones the raping of women who do not conform to the Islamic dress code.

According to the news portal’s report, Heng, in trying to explain how the Islamic hudud law would affect both the Muslims and non-Muslims, had cited Nik Aziz’s 2008 speech, which can be found on YouTube [YOUTUBE]jFZSgOhf7L0[/YOUTUBE]

“If you watch the YouTube clip, you would know that Nik Aziz had once said that a woman should ‘tutup aurat’ (protect their modesty), otherwise the woman should be raped.

“From Nik Aziz’s speech, we can conclude that Nik Aziz openly asked Muslim to rape non-Muslim, am I right?” Heng was quoted as saying on the portal.

Appearing to agree with Heng’s point, Dr Chua pointed out again that Nik Aziz’s speech had been recorded.

When asked, however, if Heng had twisted the matter out of context as Nik Aziz had purportedly been only speaking about Muslim women, Dr Chua said: “I think you missed the part where Nik Aziz explained why you need to tutup aurat… because if you do not tutup… then it provokes, you know, all these young men. You understand?

“When a Muslim man wants to rape, it does not mean he must rape only a Muslim, right? He can rape anybody… so do not spin it out of control,” Dr Chua said.

Oldtown says all food and drinks served are halal

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 — Oldtown White Coffee has given an assurance that the food and drinks served at all its outlets are halal.

Oldtown White Coffee has of late been faced with allegations from certain quarters that its food and drinks are not halal with even Muslim staff being instigated to resign.

“Oldtown White Coffee does not serve any non-halal products or alcohol.

“All our supplies are provided by suppliers with JAKIM recognised certification, who are required to produce valid halal certificates for every item supplied,” said Datuk Dr Ahmed Tasir Lope Pihie, the Chairman of Oldtown Bhd, in a statement today.

He also said that to date, of a total 179 franchise outlets in Peninsula Malaysia, 60 per cent have already received JAKIM recognised halal certification.

“Halal certification for the remaining outlets are already well in progress and pending confirmation. We expect halal certification for all the outlets to be completed by year-end,” he added.

Oldtown Bhd is a publicly listed company on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd and the information is readily available online.

“We also like to clarify that Oldtown White Coffee is not affiliated to any political party, nor does the company have any political interest.

“We are working closely with Cyber Security Malaysia and the MCMC Complaints Bureau to clarify the online allegations and will not hesitate to prosecute any party who continues to defame Oldtown White Coffee,” Ahmed Tasir added.

Established in 1999, Oldtown manufactures instant beverage mixes and products in addition to operating over 200 cafe outlets throughout Malaysia and the region.

In 2005, the business expanded into the food service sector with the opening of a chain of cafe outlets based on the traditional Ipoh coffee shop setting and ambience under the brand name, “Oldtown White Coffee”. — Bernama

Rich Dad, Poor Dad now a bankrupt dad: Best-selling author files for corporate bankruptcy after losing $24m judgement

The financial guru behind New York Times bestseller Rich Dad, Poor Dad has filed for bankruptcy on one of his companies after losing a $24 million judgement.

This April, Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Global LLC was ordered to pay $23,687,957.21 to the Learning Annex and its founder and chairman, Bill Zanker.

Kiyosaki had used the Learning Annex platform to organize several high profile speaking engagements, including a 2002 appearance at Madison Square Garden

Busted: Financial author Robert Kiyosaki owes $24 million to people who helped him promote his book

A U.S. District Court jury ruled Zanker and the Annex were entitled to a per cent of the profits from those engagements.

Zanker told the New York Post he was responsible for making Rich Dad, Poor Dad into the global name it is today.

'I took Kiyosaki's brand and made it bigger. The deal was I would get a percentage and he reneged,' Zanker said.

'We had a signed letter of intent. The Learning Annex is the greatest promoter. We put his 'Rich Dad' brand on a stage. We truly prepared him for great fame and riches. But when it was time for him to pay up, he said 'no.''

Robert Kiyosaki's books gained him celebrity followers like Oprah, Will Smith, and Donald Trump with whom he co-wrote Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message

Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has sold over 26 million copies and earned Kiyosaki widespread fame as a financial commentator and celebrity fans.

Will Smith said he was teaching his son about financial responsibility by reading the book and Oprah Winfrey endorsed it on her show.

Even Donald Trump liked his advice, co-writing the book Why We Want You to be Rich with Kiyosaki in 2006.

'Oprah believed in him, and Will Smith believed in him, but he didn't keep his promise to us,' Zanker said.

Mike Sullivan, CEO of Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Co., told reporters Kiyosaki would not put personal assets towards the judgement and claimed the judgement was far more than Rich Global LLC's value.

'The dealings we had with the Learning Annex were with a company that hasn't been in business for a number of year,' Sullivan said.

'I am not surprised Learning Annex is upset and angry, the money doesn't exist in that company, and we can't bring money out of the group.

'We have a few million dollars in this company, but not 16 or 20. I can't do anything about a $20 million judgment. We got hit for what we think is a completely outlandish figure.'

Genneva proven a Ponzi Scheme

Update on joint raids conducted by enforcement agencies on companies suspected of conducting illegal investment schemes using gold

The Attorney General’s Chambers, the Royal Malaysia Police and Bank Negara Malaysia, would like to provide the following update on the recent raids against companies suspected of operating illegal investment schemes using gold.

These raids were conducted in the interest of protecting the investors as well as the public at large from falling victim to illegal schemes.

Based on surveillance and examination conducted on these companies, it has been discovered that these companies are operating schemes that are believed to be not sustainable to provide the promised high monthly returns, nor would they be able to provide the buy back guarantee of gold. Such schemes are not sustainable because the returns promised are not funded through gold trading, but from the monies invested into such schemes. The investigations have also revealed that the amount of assets and monies held by these companies do not commensurate with the amount collected from their investors.

Prior to the joint raids, it has been noticed that these companies have delayed in returning gold or money to the investors within the stipulated time as promised. Such signs are early warning indications prior to the collapse of such schemes that would result in significant losses to investors.
