Now Every Elite Can Punch And Get Away with Fine

thpace — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 08:55:29 +0800

Finally, after more than five months since a deaf Grab driver, Ong Ing Keong, was assaulted and punched by a bodyguard of Johor regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, popularly known as TMJ, the much awaited justice has been served. Lance Corporal Muhammad Taufik Ismail, 32, admitted to the charge of voluntarily causing hurt to 47-year-old Ong, but got away with a slap on the wrist.

Magistrate Farah Nabihah Muhamad Dan only dared to slap the despicable royal police escort with a fine of RM1,000, even though under Section 323 of the Penal Code, she could deliver a prison term of up to one year and a fine of up to RM2,000 to teach the Johor royal bodyguard, who shamelessly punched the defenceless e-hailing driver with disabilities, a lesson.

But if even Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, supposedly the most powerful man in Malaysia, was too afraid to offend the Johor Crown Prince, whose father Sultan Ibrahim has been crowned as the 17th Agong (King) in January this year, who is a junior ranking judge to deliver a punishment that could humiliate the Sultanate of Johor? In fact, the pathetically RM1,000 fine was an insult to the independence of the Judicial.

Mr Ong, like any other e-hailing drivers, was just trying to make a living at about 11.40 am on May 28, 2024 outside the St. Regis Hotel lobby in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. The only difference is the Grab driver is deaf. But he isn’t blind, hence he’s perfectly fit to work. He was waiting to pick up four passengers at the posh hotel, but all hell broke loose when a VVIP entourage was leaving the hotel lobby.

Survey shows Muhyiddin still most popular

thpace — Thu, 20 May 2021 13:21:46 +0800

QUOTE

KUALA LUMPUR (May 19): Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin remains the most popular among political party leaders in Malaysia, a survey shows.

In the ‘Public Sentiment of Malaysian Electorate on Political and Leadership Issues’ released yesterday, O2 Malaysia said Muhyiddin garnered approval rating amounting to 51% out of 1,582 respondents aged 18 years old and above that were polled throughout the country via an online survey.

According to the survey conducted between March 26 to April 9, PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang stood second at 34% approval rating, followed by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng (30%) and PKR President Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim trails behind at 26%.

Meanwhile, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and UMNO president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi each received 22% and 11% approval ratings respectively from the survey based on a random stratified sampling method representative of age groups, gender, ethnicity, and state constituency.

In addition, the study conducted to identify voters' level of support and inclination towards the current national political development, showed the approval ratings amongst two former Prime Ministers are at the median level, lower than Muhyiddin.

The time-series analysis revealed that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's approval ratings of 40% in the second quarter of 2020 has dropped to 29% by the third quarter of the year, and recovered slightly to 33% in the first quarter this year.

“Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's popularity in the second quarter of 2020 stood at 24%, slipped to 21% in the third quarter but improved to 27% in the first quarter this year,” according to the survey.

O2 Malaysia is a research and social engagement centre focusing on public sentiments encompassing politics and election, socio-economics and public policy research with an eye for data analytics.

Foolish to appoint Anwar early PM claimed by Daim

thpace — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 23:45:56 +0800

QUOTE

On May 15, just five days after the inauguration of Mahathir Mohamad as the world’s oldest prime minister, Daim Zainuddin fired a warning shot. He said it would be foolish for Anwar Ibrahim to be made prime minister immediately upon returning to parliament. The warning shot was aimed at Anwar, and not his boys, as Daim would like the public to believe.

Coming from the head of Mahathir’s influential “Council of Elders”, such statement was actually very disturbing. It simply means Anwar was absolutely impatient to be crowned as the next prime minister, so much so that he was prepared to break the agreement among the four component parties making up the Pakatan Harapan coalition.

Interestingly, Anwar revealed how the ousted former premier Najib Razak was “totally shattered” the night he lost the general election and called his jailed rival – Anwar Ibrahim – twice for advice on what he should do. Anwar claimed – “When he called on the night of the election, I advised him as a friend to concede and move on.”

Was Anwar the secret lover of Najib? Was Anwar the long lost biological brother of Najib? If not, does it make any sense that of all the people in the world, ex-PM Najib had chosen to call his enemy seeking advice or looking for a shoulder to cry on? You don’t need a rocket scientist to tell that Mr. Najib had called Mr. Anwar and offered him a deal to jump ship.

Mr. Anwar actually didn’t have to divulge the secret calls he received from the despicable Najib Razak. Nobody would know about the calls anyway. Since the revelation, Najib had neither acknowledged nor denied making such calls. So, those calls on May 9th must be genuine. But why did Anwar reveal the calls? Was he trying to brag about it

There are two possibilities. First, PM-in-waiting Anwar Ibrahim wanted to send a message to Mahathir Mohamad that his PKR (People’s Justice Party) could jump ship and form the federal government with Najib’s Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition. Second, Anwar was worried that the secret calls could eventually leak hence it would be smarter to disclose it beforehand.

So, why didn’t BN (then 79 seats) and PKR (49 seats) joined forces on the night of May 9? Together, they have 128 parliamentary seats, more than enough to form the federal government. The problem was Najib could not allow Anwar to become the 7th prime minister for obvious reason. But if Anwar cannot be crowned, why should he join BN to begin with?

Clearly, Mahathir and Daim knew about the possibility that Anwar Ibrahim may throw tantrum if his desire to become prime minister soonest possible wasn’t entertained. That was why Mr. Daim warned that it would be foolish for Anwar Ibrahim to be made prime minister immediately. He told Mr. Anwar not to break the promise about the mid-term transition.

Daim also reportedly lectured Anwar – “You all tried how many elections and failed. Whether you like it or not, Mahathir succeeded.” However, armed with 49 parliamentary seats, Anwar has become arrogant and couldn’t accept that PM Mahathir, despite his party winning only 13 seats, continues to call the shot. Anwar told his boys to make “noises” about PKR being the biggest winner.

When PKR was at its weakest point, they cried, whined and bitched about equal partnership. So, they were given the Selangor state. Now that they have won the most number of seats, they demanded to be given the most ministries. Having ruled the country for 22 years, Mahathir, however, has decisively made the bold decision to reward all the 3 component parties with important ministries – except PKR.

Perhaps the 93-year-old prime minister could smell a rebellion and UMNO DNA in Anwar’s party miles away. He rewarded Mat Sabu of Amanah with Defence Minister. He appointed Muhyiddin of PPBM as Minister of Home Affairs. And he strategically pampered Lim Guan Eng of DAP with the Finance Ministry portfolio. That made Anwar Ibrahim fantastically furious.

It was an insult that a component party of Pakatan Harapan with the most number of parliamentary seats didn’t get any of the important portfolios. Besides requiring Lim Guan Eng’s track record, there was a political reason to appoint him for the prestigious finance minister post. Mahathir wanted to secure DAP’s loyalty in preparation for any eventuality.

As the first Malaysian Chinese in 44 years to hold the powerful position of finance minister, the ethnic Chinese community was exhilarating and extremely grateful. DAP’s strong 42 parliamentary seats suddenly became Mahathir’s fixed-deposit. Together with Amanah’s 11 seats, Mahathir has in his pocket 66 seats against Anwar’s PKR 49 seats.

We had written why Mahathir couldn’t care less about campaigning in Sabah and Sarawak. Sabah-based Warisan party, an ally of Pakatan Harapan, was part of Mahathir’s chess piece which ultimately contributed 8 seats. Sarawak’s former chief minister Taib Mahmud, popularly known as “Pek Moh (白毛 or white-haired uncle)”, was also part of Mahathir’s men.

Taib Mahmud was supposed to switch side in the event Pakatan Harapan couldn’t win substantial seats. But that is water under the bridge now. Why do you think Taib Mahmud met with Mahathir and Daim on May 11? Sorry folks, the 82-year-old Governor of Sarawak was more useful a free man than a prisoner as far as Mahathir’s political manoeuvre is concerned.

Now that the Taib Mahmud’s PBB party had architected the death of BN Sarawak and together with other parties have pledged its support for Mahathir administration, the prime minister’s strength has grown. Sabah (8 seats) and Sarawak (19 seats) are now Mahathir’s fixed-deposit. Altogether, Mahathir commands a strong force of 93 parliamentary seats.

Even if Anwar Ibrahim declares his PKR will quit Pakatan Harapan, not all the 49 MPs will blindly follow him. Only 27 of the 49 PKR MPs are Malays. Now that UMNO is reduced to 54 MPs and assuming Anwar agrees to form a PKR-UMNO-PAS alliance under the pretext of protecting Malays and Islam, their numbers are only 99, still short of 13 seats to form a simple majority.

But even then, not all Malay-Muslims within UMNO or PKR have a death wish of transforming the country into a full-blown Afghanistan. At least UMNO warlord Nazri Aziz has declared that UMNO would rather work with Chinese-DAP than PAS (Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party). Therefore, it’s a wishful thinking that Anwar could become a prime minister in the PKR-UMNO-PAS alliance.

Anwar wanted the powerful finance minister, on top of prime minister, exclusively for himself. This prime minister-in-waiting could be another Najib Razak, if he has it his way. He needs to be controlled and guided. This is another reason why Daim Zainuddin warned that it would be foolish for Anwar Ibrahim to be made prime minister immediately.

It appears that Anwar Ibrahim is another narcissist like Najib Razak. Mahathir’s popularity has hit the roof, and Anwar isn’t impressed. He is trying everything to stay relevant, and get noticed. When Mahathir was trying to get the Agong (King) to accept Tommy Thomas without delay as Attorney General, Anwar rushed to the palace to get the credit.

When the Perak state government tried to get rid of BN appointees from GLCs (government linked companies), Anwar interfered and told the chief minister and excos not to be hasty in taking action on GLCs. Not satisfied with stealing thunder domestically, Anwar flew to London and announced Malaysia will investigate the Battersea Power Station deal.

Still bloody mad after losing the finance ministry post to Lim Guan Eng, Anwar decided to lecture the minister, telling him to be cautious when issuing statements so that foreign rating agencies such as Moody’s will not get offended. Acting like a real prime minister, Anwar said Lim should leave the exposes of misconducts of the previous government to other ministries.

Amusingly Lim Guan Eng told Anwar that his actions of revealing the previous regime’s financial scandals were done on the instruction of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. Mr. Lim also lectured Anwar that as the person in charge of the Finance Ministry, he was not in a position to instruct other ministers to reveal scandals which happened in his own ministry.

Anwar is trying too hard to boost his popularity that he didn’t realise he looks quite idiotic. You can bet your last penny that when he takes over from Mahathir in 2 years time, Lim Guan Eng would be booted from the finance ministry. Anwar Ibrahim believes he’s the best man for the job. And this is why Daim said it would be foolish for Anwar Ibrahim to be made PM immediately.

Floating Nuclear Plant - Akademik Lomonosov

thpace — Sun, 03 Jul 2016 20:37:29 +0800

QUOTE

he first of its kind floating nuclear power station, Akademik Lomonosov, developed by Rosatom started mooring tests on Friday.

Launching of Academician Lomonosov Floating Nuclear Power Plant Unit at Baltiysky Zavod Shipyard

Full Power: Russia Develops Floating Nuclear Power Plants to Explore Arctic
The tests will be held at the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg, according to the press service of the Rosatom Corporation.

Akademik Lomonosov has a length of 144 meters and width of 30 meters. It has a displacement of 21,500 tons and a capacity of 69 people as crew members. For power generation, it has two modified KLT-40 naval propulsion reactors together providing up to 70 MW of electricity or 300 MW of heat.

The purpose of the mooring trials is to test the design specifications of the equipment and floating power of the plant. According to the schedule the mooring tests of the power plant are planned to reach completion by October 30, 2017.

The Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations of Rosenergoatom concern, Andrew Timonov, spoke to Sputnik in an interview about the scheduled tests.

“Back in 2008 we started the construction of the floating nuclear power plant. By the name of the power plant, it is obvious that the key difference or feature of this power block is that it is mobile,” Timonov said.

“It can reach the consumer directly. This feature is especially useful in remote areas. It makes no sense to use such a station in the central parts of Russia, where there is a large saturation of roads and infrastructure facilities. The station is convenient for using in the Far East and Far North,” the director further said.

Talking about the functioning of the floating power unit, Timonov said that the unit will be deployed to Pevek, after completing the tests. It will be based in a specially equipped marina, with the necessary network infrastructure already setup.

“From there the whole city of Pevek and Chukotka will be supplied with electricity. After functioning for 12 years, the power unit will be shipped to Murmansk, where it will undergo repairs for one year. After that the power unit will return to its base and continue to work as a power plant.”

“This is a Russian know-how. Currently, the floating nuclear power unit Akademik Lomonosov is the only object of its type, the world's only mobile nuclear installation.

Many foreign countries have expressed great interest in this innovative project. For example, for an island nation it is more convenient to drag a ready-made energy block, instead of setting up the whole network infrastructure there,” the director concluded.

Floating nuclear power stations are planned to be used mainly in the Russian Arctic. Five of these will be used by Gazprom for offshore oil and gas field development and for operations on the Kola and Yamal peninsulas.

Other locations include Dudinka on the Taymyr Peninsula, Vilyuchinsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula and Pevek on the Chukchi Peninsula.

According to Rosatom, 15 countries, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Algeria, Namibia, Cape Verde and Argentina, have shown interest in acquiring such power plants.

So Malaysia interested in this? I think this is the next step in power generation industry. No need next to neighborhood lands.. Far away port will be good enough. Or island
