马华中委重选,沙巴马华会闻声起舞吗?





由廖中莱所发动的马华中委重选运动,已在沙巴开走,联邦1部长加上5副部长的到来,大献殷勤兜得地方领袖雀跃万分,可想而知,一定是带来不少的好消息给基层!

沙巴马华会真的闻声起舞而支持重选吗?

如果重选后会出现一个来自沙巴的副主席加上三个中委(1+3)的话,
重选也许应该可以有商量咯!

中央必须先落实双十特大时所许下的诺言如
沙巴马华大厦及一些其他的事项如重组沙巴马华及其操作。

除了要担当官职的马华同志多照顾关注东马的各项民生问题外,执掌马华中央大权的西马马华同胞们可有看到沙巴马华在这一方面的意愿或愿景吗?

马华中委3份2辞职重选,还有可能吗?






魏家祥对马华中委3份2辞职重选,依然乐观,信心满满的。

这样的信心也许是拜早些时一些华社的‘热衷认同’支持重选和‘外围助战’下所引起的。

其实,廖派现在应有两条路可走。

第一是可以走遍全国寻求3分一的中央代表签名招开特大要求通过中委重选。

第二可能性是加入‘大团结方案’。

招开特大要求通过中委重选的问题是:-

第一就是是否能得到那3分一的中央代表签名支持开特大呢?;
第二是特大的‘要中委重选’的提案又是否又能通过获得中代的支持呢?。

接受加入‘大团结方案‘则会衍生如下最主要的问题-那就是翁廖两帮人马是否能对一些官职上让步而有必要牺牲一些廖派人马的官职;现时翁廖两边都自认自己会赢而已经各不相让,那有’自愿丢官‘的心理准备呢?。

致於翁廖有否进行’大团结‘的’密谈‘,这个课题嘛,则只有他们两个或三个领导才知道了。

Farewell for Dr. Marzhuki and welcome Dr. Yusof


Health service in Sabah is going to change again with a new leader, Dr. Mohd. Yusof.

Dr. Marzhuki is from Kedah, the northern most state of Malaysia on the peninsula of Malaya.

He served only 22 months in Sabah, and now has to leave for his home state of Kedah.

ALPH of Queen Elizabeth Hospital had paid him a courtesy visit sometimes early 2009, the time during the height of the controversial SMC purchase. We had very good dialog and discussion on the problems arose from the unsafe declaration of the main tower block of Queen Elizabeth hospital.

Together with the QEH Management Team led by Dr. Zuraidah, he'd however handled the QEH fiasco quite well, and it's unfortunate that he can't be able to see it all through because of the transfer. His duty is now handled by his former Deputy, Dr. Mohd. Yusof, a local Labuanite Sabahan, who's now becoming the Acting Director to continue the tough challenges in Sabah.

We wish Dr. Marzhuki well in his next important position in Kedah.

Sabah is a large state compared to other states in malaysia.

Therefore, the new chief of the medical services in Sabah is not an easy post.

女皇医院缺泊车位的问题



朱刚明:医院泊车位足够,驾车人士勿违例泊车- 亚洲时报/ 29-01-2010




"女皇医院严缺泊车位,朱刚明吁民众暂忍耐" - 亚洲时报/ 29-01-2010

==================================================================
两份报纸,两个标题,真的是‘见人见智’。

当大众是只看标题的话就会有两种‘极端’看法和想法,那就是‘医院有足够的泊车位’而另一个就是’医院严缺泊车位‘。

其实是,泊车位是不太足够,当局因此需要改善之;违例泊车也是事实,民众应该尊受交通规则。

民众不应该以缺乏泊车位而‘乱’泊车而导致接到不必要的交通警察传票。

当然,‘顾客’永远是对的,医院当局也理应尽可能或尽快的想办法去克服这个人民的问题。

以上的新闻是医院巡察局针对国会议员邱庆洲前天(27-01-2010)於报章发表的新闻而作出的一项文告。

沙巴马华州联委会的新春大团拜与其意义



沙巴马华州联委会每年都有的新春大团拜终於宣布了。

照往常惯例,不管怎么样,总会长必会在大年初二前来与沙巴马华同志一齐欢庆新春佳节;希望今年不会因为‘党争’而‘不能够’出席。

毕竟,欢渡佳节和‘党争’是两码事,领袖必须能有应该有的海量,把‘党争’暂时抛弆一旁,并以同志之情一齐共庆团圆。

这是基层要看到的基本风度。

大团拜应是大家团结交流的大好机会,两边领袖必需好好加以利用来营造大团结的条件。

沙巴马华必须(需)团结一致才能得到党内西马同志领袖的敬重;甚至是能赢取其他沙巴国阵成员党的尊重。

我们能在新的一年虎虎生威吗?

那要看各位领袖的智慧了。

马华冰湘岸区部颁发红包獎励金有感

佳节到来,有残障者如聋哑生更加需要照顾。


马华冰湘岸区部在黄怀远区主席的带领之下,赴校颁发红包獎励金与优异生及聋哑生,是一件非常值得称许的模範。

佳节送关怀,是我们社会应该多多推广的亲善文化。

希望其他马华区会同人等,能够以相似或同样的方式,多借此机缘与群众多交流以了解民情民困;只有积极的走向群众,则沙巴马华在沙巴的存在价值就会提升了。

新春大团拜与沙巴马华是否已分裂?


马华兵南邦区会新春大团拜2月20日在兵南邦东贡岸镇举行。

早些时,可以说是同一班底的人马亦将会在2月10日联合兵南邦中华工商总会在同一地点举办新春联欢会。

团结一致,兵强马壮的马华兵区部在上议员拿督江承俊的领导下,气势如虹,党务蒸蒸日上,希望以其区会成功的经验和秘诀,可以延伸到全州各区会。

一个机构或团体是否有存在的价值,全视其是否有达到顾客或会员的期望。

沙巴马华从1991年到现在的绩效如何?是否达标呢?

有基层说是领导的问题,也有领导怪基层没有表现;谁是谁非?

主要是人民不要知道党内的问题,他们要知的是辟如上个月交给马华的‘事’是否有眉目了等等?

到了今天,州联委会还没有消息是否会主办代表全州马华的新春联欢会。

由这,大家可以知道其绩效,肯定是一个‘没’字了。

奇怪的是,同样的领导却能有效的领导山打根4区在年初一於山打根市举办的新春联欢会;这就令人纳闷。

难道同一个领袖在领导
沙巴马华已经到了没法领导的地步吗?是否是已失去基层支持了呢?是否意味着将会有新人领导沙巴马华呢?沙巴马华是否可以说已经一分为二或三了呢?

沙巴马华新春大团拜会因党争而‘落幕寿终’?




马华山打根区本来的5区现变为4区联办?

原本融洽的5区,为甚麽办新春联欢会有特别一区没有参加呢?

是否是最近的口舌之争导致不和而暂不能合呢?

其中也许事有蹊曉?

有可能是党争所造成的吗?

话至此,党争也似乎已经扩散到每年必有的沙巴马华新春团拜会。

今年好像不会举行了。

原由何事,暂未知。

Is this the positive way to resolve the implementation woes?







Yes, it's a very encouraging sign that the state government engages with the federal ministry, in this case, the Prime Minister ministry, on the various problems in the implementation of federal-funded projects in Sabah.

Rather than leaving it to take its natural cause; the state government led by Datuk Musa had taken the initiative aggressively to arrange a dialogue with the man-in-charge, the formally Second Finance Minister himself and now the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department , Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop, to iron out all the woes, problems, and other related issues in Sabah, hopefully all at once, at the Le Meridien hotel here on January 16, 2010.

It's frequently known that federal fund had not been used up by year end in Sabah due to 'technical' problems, and the most heard of is the last-minute allocation of fund to Sabah that is impossible to implement in time for the account closing, or, fund allocated in the beginning of the year but was not able to use it because of 'difficulties' in getting the tender awarded.

Most of the problems lies with too much politicking involved in 'lobbying' for the project through the various politicians who have been eying the fund for their supporters.

The end results of the projects are meant for the benefits of the people, the sooner that it implemented, the better for the economy and the territory. Therefore, any attempts by these politicians to cause delay in the commencement of projects due to the 'fighting' should be condemned and if necessary, MACC should be called-in to investigate if it becomes rampant and unacceptable.

It's the duty of the government to monitor their respective political workers or leaders to refrain from hurting the interests of the people as they and their family too are from the people.

They are supposed to help the people, and not helping themselves. Their negative actions shall undermine the public confidence in the government if people's needs are not fulfilled in time.

On this part, I think federal government should strengthening their officers with high morality, discipline, and integrity through the BTN (Biro Tata Negera) training sessions while politicians must be instilled with patriotism and professionalism, if we want to see things improved.

It's fine with direct negotiated so-called 'special tender' or 'urgent case tender', and that political-link contractors are engaged to do these 'special' projects provided their tender is negotiated on the basis of competitiveness, and competency on reputable in delivery with quality. It should, however, keep the award of this type to the minimal to avoid allegation of abuse of fund and bad planning. The direct negotiated award should be used for cases which are related to say, natural disasters, and unforeseen circumstances and needs such as Queen Elizabeth Hospital case in Sabah.

The government should never award any 'special tenders or projects' to the so-called 'ali baba' companies as the action is not fair to those genuinely in the trade, and will cause long-term detrimental damages to the industry, and the economy as a whole.

It's all because of bad precedent set in the country of giving project directly without going through appropriate tendering procedure and merit that had misled most politicians of wrongly believe in the miracle of getting something out of 'nothing'.

This, together with the close monitoring and follow-up on the projects to be implemented in Sabah, the state government ought to be working extra hard making sure that acquisition of lands are not a hindrance in the project implementation process as there have been cited quite frequently that projects partially finished, or delayed, due to some disputes in the land matter.

However, Datuk Musa specifically singled out the bureaucracy in these government ministries, namely: Health, Education, and Public Works, that have been the causes of our woes in Sabah. I hope that the various Ministers should work harder with their respective Secretary Generals on removing these obstacles, and emphasising the importance of streamlining the process so that Sabah, a far away poor state, could progress well and subsequently remain a sustainable fixed deposit for BN in times to come.

丹诗里刘荣华将加入马华?



既然是参与马华的闭门会议,不用多说,将会发生甚麽事,大家也心知肚明啦!

作为马华的一分子都未必会受邀参与如此高层次的会议,其(
丹诗里)之受邀出席,相信其发展已是非同小可,相信现在只待正式宣布其加入马华罢了。

有了来头不小的生力军,相信马华在沙巴政坛,将会,理论上来说,开始有所作为吧?

沙巴马华的最高领导阶层将肯定会大受影响,至少现有的领导层将会大重组。

后续发展如何,大家且拭目以待吧!

曹德安促马华同人望掉党争做好本分以备大选


曹德安促马华同人望掉党争做好本分以备大选

对!还有一年半的任期,还选来做甚麽?

不能和总会长‘同流’合作的中委只好扮演‘非主流’的‘监督’角色了。

只要在党务方面不辜负基层(中央代表)的意愿,还怕下次不会再重作冯妇吗?

至於人们如何看待那些信口开河的领袖们所曾作过的豪言承诺,就让下次的党选去决定吧。为甚麽要自己(中委)去‘操刀’去做所谓的‘清理门户’呢?

反正外人是看我们的政绩,而非此服务由谁来交付!

马华党争应该已经结束,隔空骂战能结束马华现在的困境吗?


问题主要是:这样子的隔空骂战能结束马华现在的困境吗?

如今,谁是谁非已经不太重要了。


重要的是马华整个党还要等到几时才算是有个了结,或者是已经了结呢?

马华现在要做的就是团结一致,整合重新出发。

如果继续的在做不该做的事,恐怕将会引发信心危机,甚或导致永远的破坏,不可小视。

领袖必须当机立断,根据逻辑和党章规则,在短期内开始重新运作。

我认为自12月25日后,马华党争应该算是结束了。

现在该是那3份之2的中委作出最后的决定,那就是公开表明他们的任何一个人都不会在2011年之前特意辞职。

如果能做到这点的话,重选根本是没有必要了.

至於官务失职的指责,就等首相的KPI出炉才说吧!

希望首相会公布这些大官的表现给人民知道吧?

如果不能等首相的KPI的话,大可以去各社区多打听我们官领袖的表现,就知一二了。

建议廖副总以后多和党员基层多多交流,就不会有“陈启文对廖中莱的指责”了!

沙巴马华京那巴登岸区会主席陈启文呼吁廖中莱勿将华社扯进马华党争



沙巴马华京那巴登岸区会主席陈启文呼吁廖中莱勿将华社扯进马华党争?

我认为马华的党争应该以服膺民主的精神和实际行动赶快结束吧!

那些坚持’还党诚信‘的三份一中委也许可以考虑做个真正的党’监督‘中委,直到2011年的党选年为止。

因为目前双方的政治理念,差距颇大;既然如此,何需匆促来个’不符民主原则‘的重选以’
削趾适履‘呢?


党内‘两线制’如能形成何尝不是好事一桩吗?


难道马华要永远被人讥笑为‘一言堂’‘没有创意’的政党?

既然能够从‘当权派’骤变为‘少数派’,那总有一天,当然也能由
‘少数派’骤变为‘当权派’ 啦!只要‘少数派’沉着去执行在中委会的‘监督’工作,我就是看不出,为甚麽不会出现由‘少数派’又当回‘当权派’ 的情况的呢?

想到这,我想那个令人咬牙切齿的邱家金博士,果然在笑我们在解决简单的党争,没有创意啊/啦!

联邦房屋及地方政务部长拿督诗里江作汉对沙巴地方政府的拨款的意义及马华是否应该重选?


http://www.ocdn.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=6549
联邦房屋及地方政务部长拿督诗里江作汉对沙巴地方政府的拨款无疑是适时及令人鼓舞的政治发展。它有拉近联邦与沙巴之间关系的功效。

鉴於联邦房屋及地方政务部一直以来都未有此项拨款于沙巴州政府,因此这次破天荒的给于沙巴的协助,无疑是一项对沙巴州政府治理沙巴‘能力’与‘信心’的有力证明。

三千四百五十六万零吉(RM34.56Million)的‘固定常年’拨款对州的房屋及地方政务部门来说,可说不是小数目;无形中,州财政部可以每年‘省回’这笔费用或者房屋及地方政务部门因此可以用之于人民极度需要或’紧急‘的设施。

除此之外,
拿督诗里江作汉也宣布会拨款另外总数达三千三百万(RM33Million)以供作为修沟,修人行道等小型计划。

那既是说,沙巴的地政部一年可得到最少六千七百万的常年拨款呀!那是以前未曾有过的!难怪有人说,大选快到啦!

这好比天降甘瀮,也许会对沙巴的地方发展会有‘立杆见影’的功效吧?

这批款项的发放也算是沙巴人民大力支持现任联邦政府的应得奨赏吧?

奇怪的是,也幸好拿督诗里江作汉的‘贛直’而透露此项联邦来的‘应得’拨款,不然怎麽会之前(或以前)未有听说过有此项常年拨款呢?

小结论就是,如果人家有心要帮我们,他们会想办法的。反之,就是喊打喊杀去争取也是徒劳无功的。再说的直接一点就是,如果不是要靠东马的政治势力,如果没有真势力,谁会看我们呢?

拿督诗里江作汉的这一‘秀’;谁还会说马华的联邦部长们只顾党争而妄顾人民福利,而有所谓的’不务正业‘’对人民不公‘的指责呢?

因此,其他友党人士是不可以,也不应该,以‘一竹竿打完一船人’的思维来评估马华部长们的工作表现!


拿督诗里江作汉也许是,‘没有’过度涉及党争而有充裕的时间及心情来成全他应尽的责任吧?

马华的党争应该以服膺民主的精神和实际行动赶快结束吧!那些坚持’还党诚信‘的三份一中委也许可以考虑做个真正的党’监督‘中委,直到2011年的党选年为止。因为目前双方的政治理念,差距颇大;既然如此,何需匆促来个’不符民主原则‘的重选以’
削趾适履‘呢?

就凭20名县议员就能促成其事吗?



就凭1名土酋和20名拿督县议员就能促成其事吗?

希望不会变得那麽‘糟糕’吧?

如果那只限於拿督地区的空间的话,我们在亚庇的实不该多说和干涉。问题是整个沙巴的环境也会受到波及,不是我们的事也会变成我们的事了;环境不好会影响亚庇,那是肯定的,因此已经不光是拿督人的‘私事’了。

也许为了公道其见,应该来个‘全民公投’的民主方式,来决定是否要成全燃煤发电计划?

Change For The Sake Of Health (Part 1) (Bernama)

The following article from Bernama on health matter (Part 1) is recommended for our people in Malaysia; and should be circulated for enhancing knowledge in molding a healthy nation.

Reprinted from Bernama / January 04, 2010 15:13 PM

Change For The Sake Of Health

By Melati Mohd Ariff

This is the first of the two part article on consumerism

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 4 (Bernama) -- "Change your ways!" This is the mantra for consumers in 2010.

Without the change in attitude, efforts and campaign undertaken by the government or non-governmental organisations (NGO) to educate consumers serves no purpose.

Moreover, consumers will only end up wasting their money and put their lives in jeopardy.

In changing consumer attitude, it is wise to reflect on some of the campaigns including the "Tak Nak" campaign to eradicate smoking and the move by the government to increase the retail price of sugar.

The campaign on smokers is to remind them constantly that smoking not only wastes money but also endangers their health and the health of those around them.

PRICE HIKE FOR THE BENEFIT OF CONSUMERS

Therefore, smokers in the nation should view positively the government's decision to set a minimum price of RM6.40 for a 20-stick cigarette pack effective January 1, 2010.

Malaysians may well be aware of the gory images on the effects of smoking flashed on billboards, posters and the cigarette packs.

Since the launch of the campaign in 2009, Malaysians have been exposed to the dangers of smoking and the danger caused by secondhand smoke.

Smokers should also be aware of the dangerous content in the cigarette itself. The cigarette is said to contain about 4,000 elements with at least 200 of them hazardous to human health.

The dangerous components in cigarettes are tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide. The three impair the lungs and blood circulation!

In fact the World Health Organisation (WHO) had clearly stated the dangers of smoking through its bulletin, World Health, and the bulletin is incorporated at the Health Ministry's website.

The bulletin states that the nicotine found in tobacco unleashes chemical reaction similar to heroin and cocaine.

SMOKING KILLS

The ministry's website also states that smoking can kill up to 1 billion people in the 21st century.

It is estimated that there are about 1.15 billion smokers all over the world with more than 80 per cent of them living in nations with low and medium income.

The website also quoted WHO as saying that tobacco is among the leading cause of deaths worldwide.

WHO estimated that approximately 100 million people will die due to complications caused by tobacco in the 20th century.

THE MALAYSIAN SCENE

Back in Malaysia, smokers represent almost half of the male population and each day about 45 to 50 teenagers under 18 pick up the habit.

About 30 per cent of the boys between 12 and 18 years smoke and the number of teenage girls picking up the habit has increased.

According to the ministry, health problems related to smoking including lung cancer has increased by 17 percent.

The same destructive habit has contributed to one million coronary cases.

Speak to any cardiologist, among the healthy lifestyle that they would suggest is to keep away from cigarettes.

Apart from high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure, smoking too contributes to heart problem.

AVOID SWEET TOOTH

Like cigarettes, sugar too has negative implications to health but again many Malaysian consumers remain indifferent in their consumption.

Each time sugar shortage happens, often because traders hoard the commodity to push up the prices on the pretext of a shortage, consumers rush to retail outlets and supermarkets to buy sugar more than they need.

This in reality benefits the traders but consumers remain oblivious to the dangers of excessive sugar consumption to their health especially in their golden years.

When the government announced a 20 sen increase in the price of sugar, the same consumer attitude was seen at business premises.

Consumers were seen filling the shopping carts with sugar with some newspapers flashing pictures of empty sugar racks. There were instances where unscrupulous traders took advantage of the run for sugar by hiking the price to RM1.70 per kilogram.

As usual most consumers lamented that the rise in price will make life difficult for them but fail to realise that it is better to be more prudent in using sugar.

This state of mind prevailing among consumers has defeated the campaigns by the governments and NGOs to push consumers to reduce sugar intake.

The Consumer's Association of Penang (CAP) that has been advocating the well-being of consumers came up with a handbook 'Sugar Dangerous for Health'.

Those who have taken the trouble to read the handbook will think twice in consuming sweet delicacies or in adding sugar to their drinks.

SICK BECAUSE OF SUGAR

According to CAP, chemically sugar is equivalent to alcohol and the chemical reaction is similar to the one caused by heroin. It is addictive as well.

Malaysians are reported to consume 26 teaspoons of sugar daily compared with recommended intake of seven teaspoon! The record held by Malaysians even surpasses world daily average sugar intake of 11 teaspoons daily.

As for those hooked to canned sweet or carbonated drinks, think again as each can contains between seven and eight teaspoons of sugar.

According to CAP, the white substance that we call as sugar is actually "man made poison" and other than its sweetness there is no nutritional value.

As for those who could not do away with sugar, now think again as sugar is linked with 60 types of diseases including cancer, asthma, allergy, diabetes, coronary disease, biliary stone, problems relating to the immune system, kidney disease and poor mental health.

Also do note that the 2009 statistics revealed 17 per cent of Malaysia's population of 27 million suffer from diabetes. Diabetes can lead to other complications like lost of sight, coronary disease, renal failure and stroke!

The 2006 data pointed out that 21 per cent of Malaysians are overweight and 6.2 per cent suffer from obesity.

Thus, change into a discerning consumer and choose wisely what is the best for you and your family.

沙巴国阵精神安在?



甘拜园区是沙巴马华的唯一州议员选区。

拿督丘克海是该选区的上任及现任的州议员。

该选区的一切民生问题应是沙巴马华州议员的切身问题和责任;为何要劳烦不是州议员的甲必丹陈德明(兼新任的路阳区人民发展领袖(PKR)‘越俎代庖’呢?

拿督丘克海州议员委任的甘拜园区人民发展领袖(PKR)卢远东,一直以来都在该区服务多年,理应凡有投诉都会先找他,或拿督丘克海本人,或沙巴马华联委会,甚或任何的马华中人;而断断不会先找其他国阵成员党的。

就算是找上其他的国阵成员党,也会基於‘区域’的尊重和‘礼貌’而会指示,或协助,投诉人(或当地居民)往见该区的负责人,而绝不会高调的利用媒体来渲染一翻,这些不寻常的政治动作和举止令人纳闷和不安。

难道甲必丹陈德明(兼新任的人民发展领袖(PKR)已经获得‘某些权势集团’的‘撑腰’或‘上方宝剑’乎?

沙巴马华的
甘拜园区人民发展领袖(PKR)卢远东真的没有‘照顾甘拜园区人民的福利吗?

沙巴马华的地位真的那麽没有‘存在’的价值吗?


如果是的话,为甚麽有关最近沙巴华教的‘华小临教’的问题又有华社中人要求拿督魏家祥副教育部长的协助呢?沙巴的其他在联邦担任高职(部长,副部长)的沙巴国阵友党同志们难道在华社的问题上‘帮不上’吗?一个大马及国阵的互助精神还有吗?如果没有的话,沙巴马华还留在沙巴做甚麽?

也许难道是沙巴马华太‘软弱无能’?难道他们不知道马华内部正有问题,而正需要友党的谅解,协助,和支持吗?


沙巴国阵的精神安在?

临教问题全是‘钱不够用’惹的祸


马华因党争,其在内阁的影响力应已今非昔比,要马华出面去协助‘弄掂’,这次恐怕力有未递矣。沙巴国阵或许应该由拿督马西迪(沙州掌教育事业)亲自接洽教长丹诗里穆伊丁,不就行吗?

况且,由沙巫统领袖出面和巫统教长领袖交涉此事,总比由马华来处理的功效及效率来得高呀。

沙巴的马华现任州议员拿督丘克海及新任上议员拿督江承俊都应该可以代为处理的,但由周惠卿报上所言,似乎没有经过沙巴马华代办,而是早已经把案件直接全交于副教育部长拿督魏家祥代为处理多时了。

如今在中央任高职的沙巴领袖不知几许,未必需要由马华协助代劳了; 他们是:- Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin, Datuk Ronald Kiandee, Satuk Anisah, Datuk Rosnah, Datuk Bakri, Datuk Anifah, Datuk Liew VK, Datuk Maximus, Datuk Joseph Kurup, Datuk Lajim, 及还有其他的上议员等。

教部喜欢就忽然来个新措施,真叫人难以适从。朝令夕改搞得华小董事们为突变而团团转。

这次的教部栽减经费,全是‘钱不够用’惹的祸,要不然就没有教育部的‘预算不足’的问题了。难道又是政府里一些人士故意的‘倒米’之作?有时我怀疑‘一个大马’是否‘名存实亡’?

如果没有厚此薄彼的教育政策就不会有‘临教’的出现,也不会有‘累死’华社的各种各样的‘阻扰’,以及其无时无刻的长期困扰华社。

看来,1Malaysia (一个大马)还未在教育部发芽成长,在’钱不够用‘之下,2010年势必会再掀更多的麻烦及风云。

沙巴巫统妇女善举



这是另一个关怀社会的好现象和好榜样。

在首长夫人带领之下,那些被带领的岂可怠慢或失大体呢?

也许
首长夫人是深受首相夫人的积极大众形象影响吧?或许各首长或高官夫人或妇女领袖都受命该踴跃走向群众吧?大选快要来乎?

要做善事,必需要有时间,金钱,和有个真诚的服务热忱。不应该只是要为1Malaysia的积效要求而做吧。

看来,对巫统来所说,要推动任何运动,钱似乎不是问题矣。

反观其他的国阵友党的情况,在经费方面,则似乎是有困难及有一大段距离耶。

不管怎样,我们希望那些有能力者本着‘取之社会,用之社会’的精神,尽量回馈急需他们协助的大众人民。

Why Must People Support the sugar price hike?




'Sugar is harmful to your health'; as every ones in the health business, especially the Health Ministry,been telling people to use less sugar in their daily food consumption, how many people take heed? It's very unfortunate that people in this country consume much higher than the norm or recommended dosage of sugar a day - Malaysian consume twenty six (26) teaspoons of sugar a day compared to the recommended seven(7) teaspoons; and it's almost four (4) times more than recommended!

Excessive consumption of sugar is the main cause of obesity which is the 'mother of all diseases' like high blood pressure, diabetes, renal kidney failure, and others. Bearing in mind that the highest common killer in Malaysian death is heart attack which has close linkage to the food and living life style. And, it's becoming a worrying state as the patients become younger!

The importance of the sugar matter is critically obvious.

The move by Datuk Rosnah to persuade the food and beverage industry to work together to reduce sugar consumption has two advantages: one is for the benefit of the people, and the other advantage is to reduce the sugar subsidy our country has to bear which is in the tune of almost RM1Billion a year! On top of that, we ought to take into account the expenditures or costs to provide the medical services that are required to take care of those patients caused directly or indirectly by the 'sugar' related diseases.

In order to see result of the efforts, the Health ministry must work closely with the Education Ministry in this campaign to reduce the sugar maniac in the society. It has to start young and people must be aware of the harms caused by abusive consumption of sugar ignorantly.

Of course, the effects of the price hike must be carefully monitored as the news clip attached already indicates the 'woes' or fears that the society will have to face.

Government must find a long term ways to increase the income of the people in order to resolve 'permanently' the social /cum welfare problems inflicted by the changes in the government partial withdrawal of sugar subsidy.

糖为甚麽该给于起价呢?





如下几个资讯或许能让人明白糖为甚麽该给于起价:-

第一,郭糖王已在数个月前将手上的糖业股份全卖给某著名土著企业家;

第二,我国政府‘爱民深确’,多年来以每公斤@RM0.80津贴来提供廉价的食糖给平民百姓。

第三,国际糖价在过去一年已涨了50%。

但是周边国家的津贴可没那麽多,结果我们的糖便宜到烂,而造就了‘廉糖出口’生意,搞得民怨载道- 没糖卖!一边厢要人民买得起糖,所以给于大量津贴,却换来’人民的钱‘拿来贴’外销‘及撩起‘民怨’;真是政府难做矣!

与邻国糖价比较一栏表如下:-
马来西亚 @RM1.65(西马) (@RM1.75 为沙巴,砂磱越起价后的价格)
泰国@RM2.50 新加坡@RM3.05 印尼@RM3.40 菲律宾@RM3.62

除了可能有些令人怀疑的‘垄断操纵’外,政府在处理这桩民生事务是应该受到支持的,毕竟政府长期大量津贴非长远之策,但要普罗大众在短时间内跟随价格上涨而要多付,则肯定有困难。除非他们的薪金跟着即刻调整,否则难矣。

说来说去根本的问题就是大家的钱怎麽样都不够用。政府要协助人民大众却因为
钱不够用’而要收回多年来的惠民津贴,真有爱莫能助之困境也。这边厢,人民因为要配合政府的新措施,却也面对抓襟见肘的仓惶狼狈。总之,人心惶惶就是了。

应该要提的是为甚麽东马人民在‘一个大马(1Malaysia)'的精神及政策下还在实行两种的卖价呢?难道东马的同胞比西马有钱吗?既然仍是在津贴白糖,难道连那区区的一毛钱津贴也给忘了?难道是官儿们经过’干训‘后真正得到的指示是:’一个大马,两个’国家‘,两个制度,两个价钱‘?那所谓的东西马价钱(格)就迅急间把PM Najib 的
’一个大马‘的’伟大思想‘给砸了。 甚麽’积效‘措施也都免谈了。

大马人民的糖消费习惯的确是有必要作出大的生活方式改变,不然就是变成政府大量津贴人民来消费使用更多的糖以制造更多的与’糖‘有关疾病的人民;然后政府又要化好多的’钱‘去负责医好很可能与糖有关的人民百姓。
是不是非常茅盾呢?

最后,政府必须谨记,加价必需逐步而行,以免重蹈当年‘Paklah'气油加价的’翻天‘覆辙。
