为什么马华不能質疑土權的合法性?

http://www2.orientaldaily.com.my/read/GEN/2Icw08x011FL0cxW0r698wRw14398YRU

捍衛人民的权益,是马来西亚人民应该一起来做及一起来承担的;今时今日不再是华人的问题了,他已经转变为整个国家的大问题了。

它不是马来人,印度人,华人,或其他的少数民族的个别责任,而是大伙儿的共同责任。馬華沒質疑土權,却关注质疑土權的正确执行与效果。

 如果华人和马来人是兄弟关系的话,为什么还分土著与非土著呢?

如果华人和马来人是马来西亚公民的话,为什么还分土著与非土著呢?
 
为什么同是人类还会分土著与非土著呢?

把人民如此区分和过去的西方殖民 主义又有何分别呢?不是大开时代的倒车吗?

一个向前迈进的国家是不能由此‘种族政策’来左右的。

取代土权的就是‘一个马来西亚’,它才是适时的国家长远策略矣。

53年前应种族经济贫富差距太大,直故而需要用‘土著与非土著’来在行政上特意协助土著,以拉近差距,用心无可厚非,但可也不是世世代代不能提也不能改的呀。 

有了’一个马来西亚‘,副葵穆希丁,可以说既过时也无什么看头咯。

对马华总会长‘ 华人经济大会诉求'读后感

http://drchua9.blogspot.com/2010/08/30.html

感觉是'有此大会好过没';如能有些少成绩也算是有成就吧。

‘一厢情愿’的诉求不会有好结果,更谈不上能有突破了。最后,也不会有乐观的成绩向人民,尤其是华人社会,交差。

由’一个马来西亚‘的概念 的引荐至今,似乎是’土著主权运动‘的声音还比首相的影响还大。’土著主权运动‘的所以‘声赫远播’,曾经被我国誉为’发展之父‘的敦马’居功‘不小矣。

我们实在是不知道巫统内部怎么想?即首相纳吉有无十足的把握说服党内的’马来至上‘派系对‘一个大马‘的持续干忧。

因为对华人的长期不信赖,我们华人当然是毫无能力,毫无可能,也自然的好无条件,去说服他们。

解铃人还须系铃人,相信纳吉非找敦马帮忙不可了。

华人真的能如他们所言的能把他们给’吃‘掉吗?这是不对,牵强,不合理,及一厢情愿的缪论。

他们应该老老实实的再讲一遍和在讲得更坦白清楚告诉我们,他们的计划是什么?

700,000 (七十万)已经移民国外的华人不会是今天才有及产生,搞不好,可能在不久的将来会引发更大的移民潮。

马来西亚持续的种族政策就是问题,无它。

如果整个国家还是兜 在这个死泥潭(种族零和)挣扎的话,我看不出这个大会能起什么样的作用。

无数的相关大会到头来还是没有实质上或本质上的改变,那我们华裔在这个土生土长的土地上又能够做什么呢?

马华也只能把这个大会当成另一个列常应该做的政治活动吧。

My view on 'more seats for Sabah MCA'

http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsindex.php?id=519776
Bernama / 8-August-2010


The request for more seats is reasonable, and fair.

It has been long overdue as what Chua had said that MCA is already 20 years old in Sabah, and it was then one of the loyal BN components in Sabah, before and after, the toppling of the then PBS government. Its contribution for the BN regaining the power in Sabah can not be denied and taken for granted.


However, MCA must first resolve all the many, long accumulated, and overdue issues in Sabah in order to be convincing that it deserves the seat.

The woes or problems are, most notably and namely - the medical services and the transportation services. These woes are required to be handled in greatest urgency politically before the next general election, if I may say so.


Both portfolios are under its cares - Datuk Liow Tiong Lai and Kong Cho Ha for health and transport respectively.

Apart from these two important posts in the federal government, MCA also has other important cabinet posts that have been affecting the livelihood of Sabahan to some extent, that is, the Ministry of Tourism headed by Datuk Dr. Ng Yen Yen, and she should be able to help tremendously for Sabah's long term economy.

There are other portfolios which MCA have been assigned in the federal government are Minister of Local Government and Housing, Deputy Education Minister, Deputy Finance Minister, Deputy Youth & Sports Minister, Deputy Women & Social Welfare Minister, and Deputy Home Minister respectively.

If MCA is really serious in helping the Sabah people, or vice versa, the various mentioned MCA men in the government can undoubtedly be very helpful.

But, its significance role in the government at the federal level has not been felt much here, and MCA should find out the reasons for its 'dismal' performance, and also of the negative public perception of its role in Sabah.

Is it the leadership problems, or lack of working funds?

The answer is likely to be the MCA leadership problem - from the central all the way down to the state, and the divisional levels.

Perhaps the new style of high-profile (politic) publicity emphasized by the leadership can help in elevating the image of the party somewhat among the people at large. Nevertheless, the MCA candidates are still subjected to the people scrutiny considering that most urbanites are mostly very educated and well informed on various issues and topics.

MCA must earn its respect in Sabah by truly contributing, and people will appreciate it if it's done. The MCA leadership in Sabah needs a lot of fundamental change, or transformation, in meeting the new challenges ahead in Sabah; especially with the new emphasis of high-profile politic as championed by Datuk Dr. Chua Soi Lek, the President of MCA.

By the way, the attitude at the central must also change too. The circumstances in Sabah is different from the Semenanjung. The leaders of MCA at the central must read well the 20-point, the historical document which is one of the key basis of the formation of Malaysia, before they understand the real political implications they have to face in Sabah.


Sabah MCA has been practicing the low-profile, quiet politic in the last 20 years. It's high time to change but not without the needed changes in its leadership's quality and performance. New technology and methodology, and young professionals, must be brought in to support the high-profile politic, without which, it would be disastrous for Sabah MCA.

It should also show the people of Sabah of its long-term commitment in Sabah by having its own MCA building in Sabah, just like what UMNO and Gerakan did.

MCA thus have a lot to do to catch up in Sabah now that if MCA is serious about the seat allocation request.

The likely seat that the BN in Sabah has to allocate is likely to be from the quota of one of the existing UMNO seats, or those currently held by SAPP.

Finally, Sincerity is the key to success for the future of MCA in Sabah.

The ball is now with MCA itself, and not MUSA or Sabah BN.

4t round for Chua Soi Lek in 2011?



New published in OCDN / 8-8-2010 referred.

The news clip carry this message, in a gist as follows:-
President Chua reminds MCA members to refrain from the continuous infighting which now causes negative public confidence in the party that MCA will eventually have to face the consequence of closing its shop.

Good in infighting but poor in fighting against outside opponents will destroy the party. Don't let 1 or 2 persons or a small group to cause splits within the party, and it's not right for a member to do so, and that MCA can not afford to have this problem/burden any more.

Having factions in the party will not be positive in gaining confidence from the public, nor would the party gain supports from others within the BN.

He singled out the Ulu Selangor by-election as a good example where Chinese votes obtained by BN was much less than the total MCA's members in the area that indicates MCA members were even voted against the BN.

He praised the little Perlis State MCA for its commendable unity despite little conflicts among its local members there. He said that the local leadership can adopt, and following, closely the party agenda to defuse the sabotage attempts by the various small infighting group.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My view is:-
MCA has been plaguing by infighting. Unity is now the highest priority in MCA's agenda. President Chua, during a speech addressing to the members in Perlis MCA, reminds members to refrain from the continuous infighting, and that the same advice too for other states; has indicated the seriousness of him in the attempt to resolve conflicts within the party, and of the reformation of MCA before the next party election, which is scheduled in early 2011.

The invisible and 'cold infighting' among the three main factions in MCA, namely the Ong Ka Ting's, Ong Tee Keat's, and the Chua Soil Lek's, has been ongoing but mainly under surface.

Who are actually the one to cause the damages, or sabotage the party reformation, and making instability in the party?

It remains to be seen, as each side is seen pointing fingers at each others internally.

Perhaps, MCA needs another round of election to really settle the prevalent issue of who the main ruler of MCA is.

Sabahan gave up their rights voluntarily over the years



The gist of the news:-
The lost of some of the 20-points rights such as religion and language, was largely due to our own doing in previous years through our voluntarily given up the rights, and he said that we deserve it because we gave them up ourselves.

He said Sarawak used to follow us politically but now any more now as they are more developed and better off than Sabah. On who agreed first on 5% oil royalty, he said that he's not sure but he disclosed that he knew Tun Maustapha asked for 30%, then after Berjaya came to power Tun Fuad asked for 20%, and after the 66 air crash disaster, it was then said to have been agreed to 5%. Who was the witness of the signing of agreement for 5% oil royalty needless for him to disclose he said.

He said the agreement was inked, and nothing much Sabahan can do now even if they could overthrown the BN government; he said, unless we could get two third majority in parliament, and he thinks, people know what to do comes next general election.

Federal kept saying to Tun Mustapha in those day that they (federal) had no money to build the new airport in KK and new RTM building for Sabah; so Sabahan had to come up with own money which at the time was largely derived from timber export.

In those days, Sabahan was recognized as 'timber King' when in KL, but now viewed as coming to 'beg' for projects without giving respect to the dignity of Sabahan, whenever West Malaysian heard of Sabahan coming to semenanjung.

He said it's very unfair that Sabah has no shares in Petronas and Sabah stands to lose forever once oil runs out in Sabah.

He advised some of the local politicians not to criticizing the presence of 'illegals' too much now if they want their votes in coming election since they are now already citizens and have become voters.

He also advised local politicians to be a Sabahan politician and not gaining their votes racially, citing his attitude as 'he loves Malaysia, but he loves Sabah more'.

He blamed the inroad of UMNO to Sabah in the 90s was largely due to PBS failed to honour an agreement with the then USNO; it was meant to teach PBS a lesson.

Speedy approval from federal government will help the Sabah people most



The Tamparuli-Ranau road is an important road stretch linking Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan & Tawau in the east coast of Sabah.

Its economical value to the people of Sabah is simply difficult to quantify but based on layman observation, it's simply a critical part of the road link between the west and the east coast of Sabah.

The invisible loss due to the cave-in can not be assessed but believed to be fairly substantial; however, the by-pass road is no match to the main road quality which has been causing some delays and discomforts to the road users.

Sabah has the highest poverty rate, a good road will reduce their costs of doing business and daily life; the prompt action of the authority, in this case, the federal government, will have significant effect on the people of Sabah.

RM600,000 was reported to be needed for the repairing, and I hope that the PM Najib, who is also the Finance Minister, will without hesitation, sign the approval for its immediate repair.

People of Sabah will no doubt appreciate the efficiency and good attitude from the good administration of the country in return.

YB Edward Khoo has finally done the right thing but must continue consistently without fears or favours





This is the YB that we wanted for a long time, a people representative to deal with the poor administration of the district council through which people's lives are affected directly.

One question arises as to what has been happening with the performance of those District Councilors appointed, in which MCA has three (3) representatives.

It's common knowledge that some District Councilors were very questionable in their integrity that government enforcement units should keep an eye on them.

I hope that YB Edward Khoo will continue with the search for the truth with more follow-ups, and set the matter straight transparently without any compromise, as this type of cases are reported to be rampant, and out of control.

Some district councilors who are vocals, and insisting on strict penalty on faulters, were reported to have been threatened with harm by some public whose interests were at stake due to the enforcement attempts by the council.

YB Edward, you've done the right thing but making sure that you continue with more follow-ups, without fears or favours, in discharging your duty and responsibility. Keep it up, YB!

The implications of the Kudat Mazu statue case

"Offer For Relocation Of Mazu Statue Still Stands: Musa Aman"
Bernama / July 27, 2010 17:24 PM

http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsindex.php?id=516736

The statue project was approved by the authority in the first place, then a reverse decision was issued on the ground of protest on religious reason that it's too near the mosque which is a few kilometers away when the statue project was already halfway done.

This shows that the authority led by the present leadership of the government was incompetent that it should have had gone through all the necessary standard procedures before a project permit was granted to the Mazu project committee.

The good gesture to offer an alternative site with costs to construct the mazu statue should be viewed as a 'waste', if not abusive, of public fund and power (or authority), technically speaking. BN's image had been gravely tarnished and the damages to the alliance simply could not be assessed, and known.

The effect of the episode will only be fully known perhaps until the results of the coming general election.

The 'abandoned' Mazu status project and its progress is not only known locally but also had widely been informing to the millions of mazu followers nationally and internationally. Would the Mazu case causes any implications on local or foreign trade investments, and international good will, remains to be seen.

One thing very important coming out of this incident was that it had exposed the true colour of some of the Chinese-based BN political parties, locally or west Malaysia-based, all of which were having their own 'surprise if not selfish' agenda and couldn't really work for the benefits of the Chinese community that they have been claiming to safeguarding of the community's rights, especially the constitutional rights.

YBs should not incur unnecessary cost to their own people unfairly

Our elected representative (YB) in Sabah Should help the people in reducing the cost of doing business by finding ways to reduce all unnecessary costings. Sabah people have already been suffering from higher cost of living due to many unfair factors, and our elected YBs should have mercy to help fighting for more subsidy rather than involving themselves in making a quick cut in the businesses of their people.

They should not be involving in some 'businesses' using their position that will incur extra cost to people.

It's a criminal offense if they are caught. Besides, it's immoral and lack of integrity if they do.

The old days of involving themselves as middleman making a fast buck is over if they are considering themselves progressive. They should live humbly nowadays.

For example, some industries, especially the fishing industries, in the east coast of Sabah relying on subsidized diesel for industrial use will be mostly affected with additional burden to the consumers if some kind of monopoly, or conspiracy, is introduced to the industry concerned.

This is against the government's initiative in transforming the government within the 1Malaysia campaign.

People will revenge if they (YBs) compete with their own people with unfair means. This is bad public relation if they do.

What's the link between DAP power struggle, Pakatan dinner, and the presence of a prominent MCA member?


News published in Daily Express / 27-July-2010

Power struggle in a political organization is considered normal but what's really amazing is the story 'linked' to the presence of MCA prominent member, Datuk John Khoo (J. P.), an elder brother of Datuk Edward Khoo Keok Hai, Assistant Minister of the Chief Minister of Sabah, in a Pakatan dinner organized by DAP where big shots like Lim Kit Siong was also present to grace the function.

But, what's the above news got to do with the presence of Datuk John Khoo (J.P.) who is a member of MCA and an elder brother of Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister, Datuk Edward Khoo Keok Hai, in a DAP organized 'Pakatan' dinner?

Does it mean that Datuk John Khoo is interested in DAP, and was there to know more of DAP, or what?

Datuk John Khoo must have got the consent from the family (or the party he belongs now) before he attended the function, maybe for a reason only known to himself, the family, and the organization he is associated with.

If he were there to 'spy', then he must be the most blatant one sent by BN. Will he eventually join DAP? Will he be a champion for the opposition or as an 'under-cover' for BN, only in the last minute of the general election will we know the truth.

Meanwhile, perhaps, a clarification from both Datuk Edward Khoo and Datuk John Khoo will be more appropriate to clear the speculation.

What worry me if Sabah state under new administration?

I'm worry about the competency of our future leaders in managing the state. He/she has to be well educated, knowledgeable, experience, and progressive; some one like the Lee Kuan Yew's quality. They must be of high integrity and patriotic toward the region. We don't want to see the state turned into chaos after the election without proper line-up of leaders to manage the state. We can't afford to have another disappointment again, and we really can't afford it any more. No more administration under green hone, and inexperience hand.

PBS had its chance in 1985-1994 but failed miserably with its appalling performance and Ketuanan Kadazan. Disunity caused by Selfishness, overly self-confidence, and arrogance was the lesson learned for PBS. What a pity for the KDM and the people of Sabah then.

Now that Sabah political scenario has changed tremendously and if regionalism has its way largely due to BN's failure to address the regional sentiment and their own incompetency, Sabahan must be prepared to manage the state all by itself as semenanjung might be split into many parts after that.

Lack of confidence is now a virus spreading fast through the air.

This government friend of mine, who is seeking simple dental service, really made me more convinced that the federal government with its health ministry must work aggressively now to regain their confidence in Public Health Services in Sabah, especially Kota Kinabalu, that they simply said that they have no confidence.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital can be a turning point for the Federal Medical Services in Sabah if the government really gets on with the re-construction program with bold decision.

Lack of confidence is now a virus spreading fast through the air.

东马董总的成立带出对沙巴马华的期许


亚洲/ 18-07 / 2010


诗华/ 14-6-2010


东马董总的成立带出了一个事实,即是东西马有别,西马照顾不了东马的事务。‘远水救不了近火’是铁一般的事实。

东西马董总此后应以互相照应的方式互相合作,共同为东西马得华社共同奋斗,极力做到华社要达到的期望。

反观马华东渡沙巴快20年,十年如一日‘经营’,遗憾的是,毫无有意义的突破与表现,就因主要就是不能完全投入本地的政治生态与活动;马华中央如能‘蓝海策略’下放权力,给与更大的自主权,成绩与表现肯定完全就不一样咯。

如果有心要协助及加速发展沙巴州,‘权力下放’与沙巴州肯定是上上策。近来沙巴巫统强人已经开始要求在教育领域权力下放予沙巴州政府就是一例。

‘权力下放’其实本来就该如此。

当然领袖素质与领导能力也还是最主要的关键矣。

Prime Minister Datuk Najib should pay a visit to our Queen Elizabeth Hospital when he's due here soon

PM is schedule to visit KK again within these few days, and this time, he should pay a short and unexpected visit to the old block of QEH to see for himself how the FD of BN ended up.

He's been talking about 1Malaysia, and this one will prove him louder and creditable if he comes and cares for the people of Sabah. I also wonder if Datin Rosmah has paid a visit to the hospital.

Why our local politicians dare not tell or show our fellow leaders in federal the truth of Sabah?

The truth is that a lot of Sabahan are waiting for their turns to get operated. It's unbearable to hear them 'crying' for the services they badly needed.

As Finance Minister and PM, PM Najib is the perfect person for us to seek for help, and I hope that we don't wait for YB Hiew to resign only then we will get the positive development that we want to see.


The reconstruction works of QEH has yet to take off due to certain technical hiccup again, I guess.

Post-term courtesy visit to Dr. Yusuf, Pengarah of Jabatan Kesihatan Sabah










Post-term courtesy visit to Dr. Yusuf, Pengarah of Jabatan Kesihatan Sabah, was accomplished successfully at the 3rd floor of Wisma Persekutuan in Sembulan, Kota Kinabalu, this morning.

Dr. Yusuf was briefed on the latest development of the Ahli Lembaga Pelawat Hospital (ALPH) of Queen Elizabeth hospital, notably on the problems associated with the appointments, and the performance of the committee members.

The Director agreed that more NGOs and female are appointed to extend the influence of the ALPH to reflect the main objective of the organization as 'the bridge between the community and the hospital'. The Director also urged to look into stepping up the interaction between the hospital management and the ALPH. Dr. Yusuf also wished that new teams of ALPH for all the districts in Sabah can be appointed sooner in order to move forward with all the planned activities.

The ALPH of QEH proposed that the state JKN to set up a special centralized complaint unit for the state to handle all the medical complaint calls with a toll-free line where the individual callers will be handled by professionally trained personnels.

The reconstruction of QEH complex was discussed and agreed that it should be sped up for strategic consideration in terms of meeting up the expectation of the public as well as to pave the way for attracting and retaining talents to the hospital. The reconstruction also regarded as a basic foundation and turning point for regaining the public confidence in QEH.

The meeting lasted 1 hour, and ALPH appreciated the time taken for the short exchange of views on the hospital affairs, and looking forward to see more ALPH in the state to work cordially and efficiently with the hospital management in the year forward.

The myth of allegation of the PKR (people development office) office neglecting the plight of Roslinah



This is the news that I read this morning might clarify the myth of allegation of the PKR (people development office) office neglecting the plight of Roslinah long before it's 'exposed' by Kapitan Peter Chong Ching Hang about a week ago.

Why people keep saying that MCA is wrong in supporting the legalization of Sports Betting?

In fact, MCA had done nothing wrong on this matter. It's actually the opposition that had done something wrong. The whole thing had been twisted beyond recognition. Well done, the opposition, on twisting the truth.

It all started with the opposition saying that BN or MCA supports gambling.

What BN and MCA was trying to introduce to the people was to legalize the sports betting in order to firstly stamping out all the illegal sports betting, and secondly allowing government to tax the activity.

It's amazing that the opposition in this case simply protecting the illegal sports betting by not supporting the government's noble effort.

This is very unfortunate for the country as the opposition had misused their influence and 'power' by 'supporting' the illegal activity.

Even more regrettable was that quite a lot of MCA leaders sang the same tune as the opposition of anti-gambling and not anti-illegal sports gambling.

This thing happened because they still had the grudges with them over the 28-March-2010 party re-election.

The openly-split stand on the matter had undoubtedly embarrassed the leadership thereby helping the opposition won the 'battle'.

This matter was then immediately, and also subsequently used by Chinese-based opposition party to capitalize on the discrediting of MCA, the 2nd largest component party of BN.

The opposition has to make sure that the Chinese remain opposing (or hate) the BN in order to continue their aim of overthrowing the BN government in the next general election. Therefore, any incidents or issues that can help in the preservation of the change movement (or discredit of BN) are to be manipulated and capitalized.

BN should not have last minute opted out of the legalization of sports betting as this is a clear sign of its weakness of flip-flopping its decision and policies that is seen as bad management, and handling too.

BN should learn the bloody lesson from this that in future it should carefully study any matter properly, and presenting a viable solution that is convincing and well thought of.

BN must work harder to regain the confidence of the public.

The recent incident should serve as an indication of people of their trust on the government.

Worker shortage in Sabah


The Borneo Post / 2-July-2010

We should welcome the pending policy change in order to meet the challenge of worker shortage in various sectors of the industries in the state.

The main reason is low pay across the whole spectrum of the work forces in Sabah, including degree graduates and other professional category workers.

A large proportion of our youngsters are now currently working in Semenanjung and Singapore, and the reason is quite obvious.

Worker shortage is detrimental to the growth of our economy in Sabah.

How are we going to implement all the various projects and plans as outlined in the 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP) with the limited human resources and the foreigners?

What's the point of having the huge sum of federal funds in the state but without the workforce to implement, and benefiting only the foreigner most?

If we were to engage the foreigner to do it, it's not really in line with the objective of creating job opportunity for the locals, and the acquisition of skills along wit it.

Yet, we can't wait for the locals to implement it.

We need the various infrastructures now for our future growth.

The outflow of money abroad is expected if engaging foreigner to get things done and maintained in the state. It may turn out to be more problematic later, especially on the social and security issues.

However, it'll be regrettable for the Sabahan not to fully capitalized the opportunity to implement the 10MP in a feverish way as the fund will be taken back and used elsewhere of the country if not finished within the period.

It's therefore crucial that the government to address the worker shortage issue with the highest urgency and carefulness.

On the other hand if we couldn't take up the full challenge of the 10MP allocated for us, maybe the money be best kept with the federal coffer until we need it.

new mandate first or waiting him to deliver the transformation now?

I refer to the following news:-
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/southeastasia/view/1066482/1/.html
M'sian PM Najib says Malays should stop relying on govt protection
By Melissa Goh | Posted: 29 June 2010 1750 hrs


Various Prime Ministers before him had said it but fell on deaf ears.

Will PM Najib be able to do what his predecessors couldn't have achieved?

It remains to be seen.

A strong mandate from the people is definitely necessary in order for him to carry out his political 'dreams' of 1Malaysia which is overwhelmingly welcomed by Malaysian especially the Chinese, Indian, and other ethnic races in the country.

However, he can say what he likes, but will he able to carry out in reality? That's the question.

The doubt is there all the times. Seeing is believing. Deliver the 1Malaysia spirit and implement it in real will the public believes that the government has transformed.

So, give PM Najib the new mandate first, or wait until he delivers the transformation first?

The so-called 'Transformation' under the 1Malaysia means sacrifice for all especially the overdue abolishment of the 'segregation' policy which had been dominating Malaysia society ever since the independence day. The policy was introduced with the original intention to help the weaker bumiputra to reach the level of the others. The policy shouldn't last forever though.

Has any expected changes seen yet? Has the economy outlook announced improved yet? Has the attitude of his people (or our fellow Malay politicians) changed yet? Has the fundamental ingredients of the 1Malaysia truly implemented in the real spirit yet?

What ever the arguments are, people want to see things done and not things announced. They wanted the result yesterday and not repeated promises today and tomorrow.

合法赌球:谁才是真正关心人民的前途和福利?

我国决定不能合法赌球了。

原因是不鼓励人民赌博。


反对最激烈的就是马华的’大部分‘党员。

赞成的主要是当权的马华众人领袖。

马华里面反对合法赌球的主要是 因为党争的延续。

反对党反对是因为看准大部分华人不赞成赌博的心理而反对。

巫统内有人担心允许合法赌球会让反对党尤其是 回教党增加政治筹码。

马来西亚是否应该上书联合国来个全球大反赌呢?

既然星加坡已经作出惊人的捞赌的行动,我国为什么还是会大力的反对合法的赌博呢?

看来有 个别的隐议程矣。

合法赌球一事-谁才是真正关心人民的前途和福利?

Which one is more logical, legalized or not legalized sports betting?

I refer to the news published in Malaysian Insider today:-
http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/soi-lek-gambling-tax-for-anti-gambling-drive/

Well, I support all forms of limited legalized gambling as long as it is transparent in nature, and does not cause nuisance to the public; and that the government or public will benefit from the taxes of the activity.

How can we ban the legalized gambling to achieve the effect of making less people gambling legally and illegally?

Chua's idea of collecting gambling tax for anti-gambling drive is acceptable but controversial as some people would think it's far-fetched.

Because there's no surest way of ridding the gambling activities, and after all, it's actually a part of our social life, so by limiting its activity through legalized or regularized mechanism, the people and the country will gain positively eventually.

With the present non-legalized situation, government receives nothing from the sport gambling activities while the turn-over is estimated worth RM1B for this World Cup alone!

禁不禁赌

要开赌下注等已经不需要在某个特定地点了,利用电脑网络就可以了。时代不同了。

所以,禁不禁赌已经是根本上不重要了。也没有必要再虚伪处理了。

重要的是政府要训练(锻炼)人民的脑袋(社会风气)能认清赌博的坏处而能有所克制就好了。

一个如果好色,好酒,好烟,和烂赌的国民即社群,该用什么方法才能揍效呢?

用禁的方式还是不禁(开放)?还是经过教育来克制和管制呢?

当然是政府适量的管制还是必要的。


要应对不良的坏辟,除了政府管制,还看个人也。

不禁要问,这么多年的禁这禁那的,有取得成功吗?

好像是变本加厉和每况愈下呢。

以后的应对,还是要着重教育。

如何看取消PMR及UPSR?

我赞成取消PMR及UPSR的考试制度。

如果取消后,会否没有适合的学生水准鉴定方式了吗?答案是:不会!

其实,小学毕业生能在社会做些什么呢?答案是:他们不应该,可能也不合法,所能做的也不多!我们也无需要他们小学毕业后就投入工作劳动的社会吧?

做父母的无需为此可能的新政策担忧,因为我们现在的教育政策及体系本来就是个‘闹剧’。

因为我们的官老爷深恐我们的子弟他日找不到饭吃才出此不合理和离谱的教学政策!

他们是在闭门造车,所以都认为这个繁华世界是必需不断提高‘水平’来应付将来的挑战。说的似乎有理确实是‘似是而非’。

熟不知,世界虽在变得快和多,但是基本的个人训练还是没变的需要‘填鸭’般的给他下那么多的功课呀。科目和功课是不实际的多。

我感觉到这里的教育部,学校董事,老师,甚至是家长,都迷思‘多学多读就是好’的学习过程和误区。如果真是如此,就不会有‘一身刀,没把利;两头不到岸,误人子弟’之说了。

本来就使学生莫名其妙的繁重课程,主要旨在应付考试和升学条件的‘以多取胜’。 取消PMR及UPSR考试将会‘严重’影响一些老师们的‘特别’收入,好多老师的生计将会大受影响,不在话下。

现在老师的薪金已经调的好高也,而现在的老师也特别的好做了。

以现在的制度,就是老师好的话,父母还是要花钱扑课;苦了孩子也苦了家长。朴习也好贵,不用说又无形中增加人民的负担。

不用考试就将令父母不需要再花‘冤枉’钱了。

不用考就不用補习,那可好!

如果非要考试不可,则小考而非恶考就可以了。

其实小学生只要懂简单的‘读写算’就很够了,其他则在各种活动上学习吧。我们已经有眼看到‘考试机器’所带来的各种问题如没独立思考的大学毕业生等。。。

如果没考试,学生没压力, 大人也没了压力,国阵也会没压力了?

不是什么东西都要从书本上才能学得到的,反而在实际生活学习到的才是最有用和实际。现在学生被逼‘读死书
’‘做死事’是铁一般的事实。

我感觉买书和练习簿的费用也奇高到要人命。教育事业是门非常大的生意,不可否认会有人或集团不悦或想方设法的去阻碍这项建议的。这是可以理解的。政府在这方面就必需抓稳立场在这对的事情上为民为国做好的供献。

与其读死书,不如改为读生动的书。
何止买书会要人命,无尽无穷的考试也要了他们小孩的童贞和青春啊。

家长及大人的时间呢?

接送时间,汽油等等。。。。

所以我说整个教育制度是在开我们的玩笑; 但是却有人笑到银行。

大人有压力:精神压力, 金钱压力。政府何尝没有压力?

有家长认为做(赚)到不够给扑习老师,不够给教育,可是都被‘洗脑’到认为他们配合教育部和学校当局是‘没错’的。那是多么危险和不值的事啊。

师资方面,华人家长都认为华人老师较好, 其实未必,
很多小孩其实在被人谑待而父母仍然被蒙在鼓里,
华人老师不会误人子弟, 也未必是对的。
华人老师不会误人子弟?未必,也许你好运。

我的孩子就是受不了华校而转到英校去了。

老实说,作为顾主的我,深知请人工作的真正需要。 对我来说,会读写算就可以胜任很多的工作了, 其次当然是人品和教育水平等,视何者为重。

我的经验也告诉我,不是那些拿一大堆 A者就是能干的职员。

我们要的是会做事思考的人,不是只会读书而不灵活的人。

现在的年轻人必需要肯学也要肯做,会做没知识也难行。

现在我们请人工作是看来应征者的谈吐及临场表现,文凭还是其次。

那当然要学也要肯做,会做却没知识,这些只可以在就职当场学习 了。

说来说去,就是书不需要读太多;考试可免则免了。

我也希望马华能尽量的影响政府在这方面的决策。这是万众期待的一项改变呀!

马来西亚文化我见

有人说‘吃猪肉能团结华人, 有华人的地方就有猪肉吃!吃猪肉者等于华人’。

那么不吃猪肉可不等於不是华人,反而吃猪肉者不一定等於是华人;其实猪肉与华
人 根本是两麻子事。

中华文化才是等於华人的定义。

就好像马来人
= 马来文化一样。

以此类推,马来西亚人应该等于
中华文化+印度文化
+ 马来文化+卡达山文化+其他少数民族的文化=马来西亚文化才对呀。

马来西亚人应该在毫无人为阻扰下,可以及自由地共享彼此的文化。

现在争执的正是以那一种文化应该占多少的争拗。

也许教育
部,或文化部,应该设立一个‘全国文化咨询理事会’来制定一个各方都能接受的方案。

像现在的情况,
真是有如‘瞎子摸象’,一点目标和方向都没有。

因此,我
的感觉就是在厘定国家文化的根基上,我们华人是‘被动’‘无助’‘无奈’。

作为政治团体,马华是否有尽到责任?

Is it legal to have two (2) Deputy Chairmen in State Liaison Line-up?

The Star Online / Thursday May 6, 2010
Title: Two deputy chairmen for Sabah MCA
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/5/6/nation/6202643&sec=nation


Question: Is it legal to have two (2) Deputy Chairmen in State Liaison Line-up?
Answer: No, it's illegal.
(refer to page 22 onwards of Party Constitution at http://www.mca.org.my/English/Party%20Constitution/Pages/default.aspx)

You can't simply appoint another Deputy Chairman with a lame excuse like shouldering the increasing workload.

If the appointment of additional Deputy Chairman were legal, then we could have more committee members, more Vice Chairmen, etc..

This is an outrageous act of total disregard of the party constitution, or the law.

In the first place, the State Chairman has the power to appoint up to twenty (20) committee members. The reason to appoint additional Deputy chairman is simply laughable, naive, and near ignorant of the party constitution by the State Liaison Committee, led by the State Liaison Chairman who was earlier appointed by the President of the party.

Should someone reports this irregularity to the Registrar of Society, the party may have to answer to queries from the authority, and worse that could happen is that the party will be suspended, or struck out of registration as a result of dissatisfaction by the authority.

The State Chairman should simply, or rightly, appoint all the necessary positions with people of his desired, free from fear or favour. Those, who are not
being appointed to any position, might as well to sit in the committee and perform their deeds as committee members.

Why deliberately create the illegal position just to 'please' the other faction, or with the motive of 'diluting' the importance, or power, of that position by sharing, or splitting, the power?

The leadership must quickly call a EGM to amend the constitution in order to legalize this sort of appointment.

By the way, on the Boards that set up, the committee has not tackle the medical issues of Sabah head-on by at least having a Board dedicated for Health Services. Being the State-appointed minister to oversee the medical affairs in Sabah, Datuk Edward Khoo should have set up a vehicle, or team, to look at the various issues concerning the Sabah people's health, especially the medical service problems have been reaching critical situation most of the time.

The State Chairman has, so far, not briefed Sabah people the progress and the status of the health services in Sabah, in particular of the Queen Elizabeth hospital, ever since the crisis of QEH began in November, 2009. A special team, or a Board, should help him out in handling the matter. But, unfortunately, it's still not justifiable enough to call for a second Deputy Chairman.

Anyway, my congratulation to all appointees, I wish you all the bests, even though you have only one (1) year and a half to go.

Bearing in mind that people are watching you guys closely for performance.

Remember that MCA owes Sabah people the medical services they deserve for years. We should have had the courage to apologise for the short delivery during our times here in Sabah since 1991.


So, I beg you, please don't let them down again.

The emergence of new Malay race in Sabah



Sabah used to have 30 plus different ethnic races, and hardly any Malay during the independence day in 1963.

But with the efforts of government and islamic influence, quite a number of local ethnic groups, either they were muslim originally or those converted, are slowly, and gradually, claiming themselves as 'Malay'; perhaps in line with the trend of the nation building, and the strong influence of the Malay presence in Semenanjung, and most importantly, the extension of UMNO in Sabah since 1994.

The news attached is the proof of the UMNO leaders claiming to woo more Malay voters to the constituency of Sepanggar.

If going by logic, these Malay in Sabah should be rightly called Bajau Malay, Suluk Malay, Ilanun Malay, Dusun Malay, Brunei Malay etc...Now they all call themselves simply as 'Malay'.

What puzzling me is that why specifically wooing the Malay, and not other bumiputra of other ethnic groups who are not muslim to the constituency?

Maybe, they rather prefer to be officially grouped as Malay for many reasons.

Good governance will ease brain drains and split of Malaysian

Dean: New Doctors Must Do Compulsory Service Before Working Abroad
http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/general.php

The suggested imposition requiring newly-minted doctors from public university to work abroad immediately after graduation is acceptable if it was a part of their prior conditions of acceptance.

If not, they should be free to work anywhere they like.

The 'exodus' of these new 'doctors' should be viewed seriously as it means, apart from the obvious gap in salary in other country, the majority problems could have been lack of proper training environment, and most importantly, fair & consistent mechanism to recognize outstanding performers based solely on '1Malaysia' principle and spirit.

The Hospital Queen Elizabeth in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, is a good case study where the working environment in terms of working space, efficiency, and facilities has been 'blamed' as the main problem in attracting, or retaining, more medical personnel to the hospital.

The MOH or the Government must look at all angles to address the problems of brain drains especially on why there is an imbalance of Chinese or Indian Malaysian working in the public sector where it's currently dominated by so-called bumiputra.

The government should waive the outdated policy, of dividing of its people by a mere bumiputra and non-bumiputra criteria, for the sake of 1Malaysia.

the relationship between Perkasa and Barisan Nasional (or UMNO) must be clarified as soon as possible

Quit, 'immoral' friend: Perkasa boss tells MCA boss
(from Free Malaysia Today)
http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/fmt-english/news/general/5037-quit-immoral-friend-perkasa-boss-to-mca-boss


Who's YB Ibrahim Ali?

Why is he treated 'special' within the 'fold' of BN or UMNO?

Is he an UMNO member, UMNO sympathizer or supporter?

What's Perkasa relationship with UMNO, or BN?

Is Perkasa an associate of UMNO, or BN?

The involvement of Perkasa in BN is quite 'significant' during the Ulu Selangor by-poll, according to what Ibrahim Ali said in this interview.

The impression is that Perkasa was seen doing things that were deem not appropriate for UMNO to do, or carry out. So, is it right to say that Perkasa is an unofficial vehicle for UMNO? Is Perkasa 'designed' or portrayed as 'right winger' in UMNO/BN to avoid direct clashes with PM Najib's '1Malaysia' initiatives?

BN must take a stand whether to allow outsiders like Perkasa to meddle, or 'involve', in the internal affairs of BN.

It's very unfair for BN's components, or partners, that an outsider like Perkasa is allowed 'freely' moving around inside and outside the BN, and bossing around too.

UMNO, being the 'dominant' partner in BN, must quickly declare that they have nothing to do with Perkasa, otherwise, it will cause dismay among the BN component partners like especially MCA.

BN is in the midst of rebuilding its strength after 8-March-2008 general election, and it's especially more so for MCA; it therefore can't afford to have any unnecessary conflicts within itself.

The seemingly active 'involvement' of Perkasa in the BN fold has been undesirable, and counterproductive.

In conclusion, the relationship between Perkasa and Barisan Nasional (or UMNO) must be clarified as soon as possible.

马华必需,也应该,为失职负荆请罪,赶快的向沙巴人民道歉



对!我有深切的同感。马华必需在两年内交出成绩单,不然马华就要‘含泪’下野了。

在沙巴,亚庇中央医院(Queen Elizabeth Hospital)的问题,在‘千呼万唤始断断续续出炉’的解决方案,一直未能满足人民的需要和期望。主要是处理问题及事情没有那种‘紧迫性’与及太慢了。

似乎,掌管沙巴卫生事务的沙巴州联委主席拿督丘克海,和马华的卫生部长拿督廖中来,却未能在这困扰沙巴人民的课题上,充分发挥为沙巴人民服务和表现的机会。迟迟未能迅速处理州内的卫生事务,导致民怨丛生,引人詬病。

总之,整几十来年的人为疏忽和管理不当,沙巴的医疗才会那麽的糟糕。

我们怎么能说这些种种的局面和马华无关呢?那些由头到尾坐在那个位子的马华领袖可以就那么的轻松逃避责任吗?

基于此,马华必需,也应该,负荆请罪,赶快向沙巴人民道歉。

不但如此,马华负责卫生事务的州与联邦领袖们,应该马上记取教训,痛改前非,负荆请罪之余,还得现在快马加鞭,在两年内将功赎罪,好为国阵和马华挣回一点点的尊严吧!

光是纳吉改革觉悟,够吗?Will it work if only Najib alone change?

東方新聞網
建立大馬民族身份,納吉做好改革覺悟

Change I will, says PM
By LIM AI LEE

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/4/18/nation/6079620&sec=nation


读了这两篇的报道后,我觉得,光是纳吉改革觉悟是不够也不行的。

纳吉必须确保占人口45%和坐拥政治大权的马来族群能够‘通窍’明白他们的衷心和澈底的改变才是整个国家将来迈向成功的关 键。

如果继续‘执迷不悟’的玩弄双重的管理和施政,国阵政府将是注定会以‘失败告终’的。

希望所谓的政府转型计划(GTP)及新经济模式(NEM)是本届政府的认真行动,而不是另一个‘引君入瓮’的歪计划。

Will Sabahan able to move up the ladder of higher income by 2015?




Of course, Sabahan can move up the ladder of higher income if all the basic infrastructures promised over the years by the respective governments are fulfilled without further delay.

I feel like crying when I saw the above headline published in today's Daily Express.

I'm almost speechless after reading the news report as the announcement, and its implementation, is 20 years overdue.


I'm actually angry with the government for not seeing the lights during all these years.

However, it's still not too late.

Higher income will ease brain drain, or resources drains, question is how to achieve it?

Today, our country is losing talents or professionals to our neighbours such as Singapore because of the big income gap; now not only that, we are losing the low-level workers such as plantation workers too.

We have to nib it at the bud before it's too late as every bodies are fleeing for a greener pastures elsewhere.

Due to the developments, we need more retain workforces in all the industries and businesses, especially the plantation and the tourism industry.

We need more skilled workers in the ICT too.

We need to attract good peoples to work or live here, regardless of their origins.

The 1Malaysia fits the requirement, but would it succeed?

The public confidence has been going low with the sporadic negative comments from some BN's higher ranking officers lately though.

Today, ICT is considered the foundation and the locomotive for higher income where more revenues can be earned by making the industries and businesses more productive and efficient.
But, a body to really spearheading the ICT application efforts in the government and the society is still very much lacking, or none at all. There's simply no concerted efforts or leadership on this important future infrastructure at all.

Had we adopted the ICT in larger scale in those early years, we'd have produced not only one 'Bill Gate' but many 'Bill Gates' if given the right environment to develop.

Our economy could have been 100 times, or more, than today's market size if ICT and modern technology were deployed early.


If, and only if, that our government, knows what they are doing, and stick to it, else, we may have to see all the expectations in our dreams only.

DPM remarks on NEM,GTP is uncalled for

DPM soothes Malay fears over GTP,NEM
By Boo Su-Lyn

http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/malaysia/60042-dpm-soothes-malay-fears-over-gtpnem

It's not true that the 'Malay children continued to lag behind other races in terms of education'.

Haven't you seen that almost all the staffs in universities and schools are already predominantly bumiputra, especially from the race of 'Malay'?

Further more, almost all the government department staffs are also dominated by bumiputra, especially from the 'Malay'?

The DPM in trying to 'alleviate'' and sooth' the mainly 'Malay' bumiputra is unnecessay as the NEM, and the GTP has already taken care of all these 'fears' and possible issues.

He should not be persuading, or explaining, to the 'Malay' by keep on propagating the wrong perception, and worst, twisting the fact.

In the endeavour of NEM and GTP, it's not just one or two community groups has to make sacrifices, but the whole national community. Therefore, don't paint a picture that only the largest group suffering for the benefits of the smaller minority groups.

Are we 1family?

沙巴人还要再忍多少年的无能失职呢?



这样大胆的非法出境如没有集团的穿针引线是不可能办得到的。里应外合肯定的必然方程式。

由这里可以联想到:一个月内有多少个非法移民能任意的到来和离开?一年下来就不是开玩笑了。

沙巴人还要再忍多少年的无能失职呢?

外国人已经看不起我国的保安部队了。他们根本就不把我们的
保安部队看在眼内。

两个月前在离斗湖不远的仙本那县就发生一起‘绑票’案。绑匪就是来自菲律宾南部的海盗的‘杰作’了。在这起事件中,官方能够做什么呢?

答案是:没有。

开头就推说是‘失踪’,接着说已经布下‘天罗地网’,最后是‘缄默’,前两天经媒体证实他们两人已被绑到菲律宾南部并有用手机拍到的相片为证。据说,肉票家人现在只好经本身的‘特别’管道自行去寻求解决方法了。

你说保安部队还能保护我们沙巴子民吗?


我们国家的治安,内安还有保障可言吗?我们国家的尊严还会有吗?

看样子,联邦政府又做了一个对不起国家和沙巴人民的事了- 保安失职。

沙巴人的安危及主权有维护到吗?国家当局如何查这起外国人私自出境的事件呢?似乎我们还要强忍下去?

我相信这里有马来西亚人和外国人正在狼狈为奸,做出出卖国家及人民的败坏事,这个主权国家难道是那么无助吗?

且看政府如何调查这起事件吧。唉!不想再讲了。

为了解决州内的医疗问题,其实外面已经有人正在积极的期望蔡细历能重掌卫生部



当初以为联邦的解决方案可以一劳永逸的解决伊丽沙白女皇医院(或称中央医院,或QueenElizabeth Hospital (QEH));奈何政府的‘效率’不能‘尽如人意’啊。

想当时觉得州政府的建议是‘多此一举’也不怎么在意其可能作为一个‘后备’方案的可能性。

毕竟,卫生一事是联邦我们马华部长及州联委会主席兼首席部长助理部长拿督丘克海的负责事项。

拿督丘克海是沙巴州政府委任专司掌管卫生事务的要员。

为了解决州内的医疗问题,其实外面已经有人正在积极的期望蔡细历能重掌卫生部。 这个希望有可能吗?

国阵政府必须赶快正视这个大问题了,毕竟,火箭们所说的都是正确无误。

同胞们,再一次的宣布马来西亚日应是9月16日,而不是8月31日!



西马人真是冥顽不灵的一群?

8月31日是沙巴脱离英殖民地统治的纪念日,而同这一天也是马来半岛同胞脱离英殖民地统治的纪念日及马来亚联合邦的成立日。

8月31日本是拟定为沙巴脱离英殖民地统治纪念日及马来西亚的国家成立日。可惜,因一些技术问题而需要延后两星期才定下9月16日为正式的马来西亚的成立日。

所以,马来西亚日应是9月16日而不是8月31日。

定9月16日为团结日简直是妄顾历史事实,难道西马同胞另有图谋?

当马来西亚成立时,马来亚联合邦就正式的走入历史了。

为什么到了今天还要我们向这些‘德高望重’的丹诗里和西马的领袖们再上一堂的历史课呢?

我感到非常的失望,因为我最崇拜的丹诗里李瀮泰竟然是个历史‘无知’,令人痛心不已啊!

沙巴人还敢寄望此流人物来替沙巴争取权益吗?

BTN(BIRO TATA NEGERA)第一堂课,可就应该教他们这一个国家的背景事实了。

他们当马来西亚是什么?’一个大马‘又是什么?马来西亚是如何形成的?他们都知道吗?

我们人民‘养’了他们那么多年,他们还是不知道马来西亚的历史,真叫情何以堪?

我真替他们感到羞耻。

中央医院停车场的建筑费仍无作落;沙巴还是国阵的‘定期存款’吗?




如果政府能化七千万零吉于APCO作为‘一个大马’的整个规划等之费用;我想这些中央医院停车场的建筑费应该早就有作落了。

也许联邦方面认为沙巴人是不太重要吧?

沙巴人常给与‘外州’人的错误感觉是非常‘懦弱’的一群,就其实,他们是最‘敢作敢为’的‘好商量’的好公民。1976及1985年推翻当时的国阵政府就已经有目共睹的证明他们在‘该做正确事’时,‘毫不犹豫,干净利落’的政治决定与行动。

如果错误的以为只要‘驯服’倾国阵的沙巴政客和代议士,就算是‘解决’了沙巴人民的问题的话,那么国阵再来届的大选将是会遭遇到其在沙巴‘意想不到’的遗憾?

国阵千万不要对沙巴的局势掉以轻心啊!

沙巴还是国阵的‘定期存款’吗?

除了那些朝野政党外,无党派的大部分沙巴人现在时刻都在监督国阵的工作表现。他们的要求也随着岁月相应提高了,那些还把选民当傻瓜的人民代议士,最好自己去深入民间‘明查暗访’来证实所言无误吧。

以前的代议士失职已无可再追究;当今失职的代议士却没得躱了。

想要买个‘保险’的话,最好现在加紧工作,将功赎罪吧!

要求提高石油税,马华整体的立场会是什么呢?



如诅咒一般,石油税一直困绕沙巴州和国家分享石油财富的课题。

石油税率更是一直以来没什么国阵成员党敢向联邦提出和讨论的一件事。

国阵成员党之一的沙巴民统党(UPKO)关注并献议可向有关当局要求提高石油税是一大转变。

目前的石油税率是石油价的5%。

沙巴人会把此提案先交给州议会去讨论和通过吗?

现在林吉祥也在捞这淌水,使得事情的发展加倍的令人特别关注,也希望是有可能成真的一件心愿。

马华整体的立场会是什么呢?

流住人才,独立以来的政府,有做到吗?



又是讲不完的人才外流的故事,真是令人惋惜不已。

新加坡能在亚细安狂吸周边国家的人才,而我国却似乎在做相反的贑事。

有人说我国的一些高官会自私到竟然可以(丑陋到)连国家的总体利益也可以不顾,能做出如此荒缪的也只有我国无他了。

人家在拼命吸收人才,而我们却在溅价丢人!可以不叹息不摇头吗?

希望一个马来西亚能最后取得胜利!

也希望一个马来西亚是真如我们所要和期盼的 - 一个公平的社会。

难得一见的国阵会议首先在山打根出现了



期待已久的国阵会议终于首先在山打根出现了。

沙巴自民党主席拿督刘伟强能够未雨绸缪
,做好一切措施,准备应付来届大选。

据本人所知,像这样类似的国阵会议并不多见,尤其是座落在州首府亚庇的国政亚庇-亚庇(BN Api-Api)听说根本就没开过会。真的要对沙巴国阵来届的‘安危’担心啊。

山打根人有福了。因为有此机制,一切都好办事了。

拿督刘伟强能毅然把这个能凝结各成员党的平台先第一时间建立起来是值得高度赞扬的。

其它区的国阵主席该开始行动,急起直追了。

至诚恭贺马华根地咬区会主席曾湘如君荣获委任为根地咬人民服务的‘甲必丹‘要职



至诚恭贺马华根地咬区会主席曾湘如君荣获委任为根地咬人民服务的‘甲必丹‘要职。

他的受委是我马华的光荣。我们马华同仁替他感到高兴和骄傲。

希望他能百尺竿头更进一步啊!

陈树平因为替人民说公道话而付出代价?



(亚洲时报/ 10-Apr-2010)

沙巴自由民主党(LDP)署理主席陈树平在沙巴城市房屋发展局新董事局的没有再度受委任已经成为人民茶余饭后的话题了。
如果说没有政治报复,会有人信吗?

怪只怪他在不久前因为替人民说公道话而得罪了一些有权的人。

这样的不能接受公开批评的州领导层在向联邦当局为沙民请命和争取权益方面时,他们肯定不会如陈树平般的‘不顾后果’了.

一个是 否能被人民拥戴的政府或政党应该是一个能把‘公 众的利益’永远置于‘本身利益’之上者。

人民的信 赖是非常重要的政治资产。

陈树平应是继章家杰之后第二位自由民主党人受到州国阵的‘牺牲’。

丘克海应该为沙巴马华成立一个‘党中央积极要与沙巴马华充份配合的沙巴团队’,来为沙巴人民提供理想的政治服务



新受委任沙巴州联委会主席丘克海应该为沙巴马华成立一个‘能与党中央合作的团队’之外,也应该同时打造‘党中央积极要与沙巴马华充份配合的沙巴团队’,来 为沙巴人民提供理想的政治服务.

只会‘能与党中央合作的团队’的单向关系是不健康及不平衡的政治,长远来说,只会导致互害而无互利!

I'm proud to be a Chinese-Malaysian, and nothing more!

Najib: I am proud to be Malay but I can still relate to others
By TEH ENG HOCK (e-mail: enghock@thestar.com.my)
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2010/4/3/nation/5990033&sec=nation

Well, for me, I'm a Chinese but I'm proud to be a Malaysian. I'm born a Chinese-Malaysian, and I'll die a Chinese-Malaysian; unless my country doesn't want me.

I can relate to others only if the country and its administrator treat me equally, without discrimination and disrespect in all fields of the society.

I accept with open-heart the plurality of our society - multi-racial and multi-religion, and vow to build a new Malaysia together with all the ethnicity.

I'll share my culture values and systems to any ethnicity without reservation as I believe in sharing and exchange for the betterment of our society, a new Malaysia culture or 1Malaysia culture will be deemed 'perfect'.

I want to help the needy groups regardless of their ethnicity, and I only see them as another human being, and not their colours or descendant.

I don't see them (other races) as a threat to me or my 'group', rather I see them as my fellow Malaysian who should be living or growing up equally, deserving mutual help from one another, and as Malaysian, we only responsible to Malaysia, nothing but Malaysia.

For those Malaysian who have strong sense of its origin, I respect wholeheartedly their eagerness to keep their 'belongings' without reservation as it's the right thing to do to preserve its root and identity. But, there should not be any favoritism, or causing anxiety, among all the other Malaysian at the expense of the ethnics as it had happened numerous times in the history since independence.

The time has now arrived that we have to make sure that favouritism meant to help the disadvantageous is not being abused by some unscrupulous quarters to advance masses of benefits at the country's wealth, resources, and our 'misfortunes'.

The arrival of 1Malaysia, and its derivative - the New Economic Model (NEM), is designed to overcome the shortfalls of the old system of New Economic Policy (NEP) started in 1970.

The 1Malaysia in its true sense should not harbour the doctrine of 'Master-Slave' or 'ketuanan something' as there shouldn't be anyone borne to be master of some Malaysian in the first place, but merely as an ordinary Malaysian who might one day rise to the top to lead.

But all these honours and respects must be earned through proper steps as they must show to me that they are just like me, has to work harder appropriately and not through the special privileges or handicaps accorded to them dating back to the early years of independence which is 53 years ago!

It's really funny that just when I was about to have forgotten my root and origin, and is in the midst of assimilating into the 1Malaysia, some of my fellow Malaysian could not wait to remind me of my origin and showing their non-acceptance of my status; why?

蔡细历会延医沙巴马华吗?或其有所投鼠忌器吧?

想下一任……
许国伟 / 4月1日/ 晚上 10点18分
http://malaysiakini.com/columns/128127

对了,许国维问的和说的都很对:‘蔡细历是在乎连任还是改革?’

如果只在乎连任,我们只好为马华多祈祷了。如果是选择改革,我们只好多为马华和蔡细历护航了。只有经过改革,马华才会有‘翻身’的机会。

作为一名医生,蔡细历定当明白除了对症下药,更也要在适当的时候果敢用药和下重药。因为时间是关键要素。

在即将宣布其工作团队的关键时刻,希望他会勇往直前为应该做 的事而无悸的去做,不要犹疑不决,犹其是针对沙巴州马华的短及长期问题, 它现在的病期,若要评定,已经算是进入第四期了。

如今已经是非即刻开刀兼化疗(重组州联委会)的程次不可了。

蔡细历如果再‘延医’沙巴马华,或有所投鼠忌器,就恐怕到时可能会‘返魂乏术’而来不及救了。

选择权其实是在他的手上或脚下了.

Is the re-appointment of Datuk Edward Khoo as State Chief going to be a 'make-or-break' decision by Dr. Chua for Sabah MCA?

New Party Appointment On April 7?

The Sabah MCA has been under-performing over the last 11 years under Datuk Edward Khoo's leadership.

If he were to be re-appointed as the State Liaison Chairman again, the outlook for Sabah MCA shall be gloomy unless there shall be dramatic change in the leadership style and transformation.

In addition to that, there should be heavy aids from MCA Central in terms of political supports in lobbying for state's governmental posts and positions in Sabah.

The MCA central also has to finance the costs of operations in the divisions on a regular basis like the UMNO Sabah who has been well look after since its entry into the state some 19 years ago.

Another setback for MCA Sabah so far is that the relationship of Sabah MCA with top leaders of BN components in Sabah has been quietly reported to be not up to good level, and the component parties in Sabah has virtually labelled Sabah MCA as 'irrelevant'.

Will Datuk Edward Khoo changed his style of leadership and administration of the state MCA once re-appointed?

Will the grassroots welcome him as the state liaison chief again after all these years of grievances and 'dis-satisfactory' performance?

In conclusion, the new appointment is significant, and is a 'make-or-break' decision by Dr. Chua for Sabah MCA and the MCA as a whole?
