Shahrir’s latest statement on the issue of petrol price is totally absurd, coming from a federal minister who had been appointed to take care of the welfare of the people. Instead, this UMNO Baru/BN minister , seems to be more concerned about the survival of the select few petrol dealers than alleviating the suffering of the people at large, many of whom live in the rural areas totally dependent on fuel for daily lives.

The minimum price of petrol should be RM1.92 per litre even if the global oil price continues to fall, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir …read more

“UMNO is already over 61 years old and is experiencing ‘penyakit tua’ (old age sickness) which cannot be remedied by senior citizens but rather the younger generations with new ideas”
Musa Hitam, 22nd October 2008
Musa is wrong when he says UMNO is over 61. He has forgotten (Mahathir was right when he said ‘Melayu mudah lupa’) that UMNO had ‘died’ of ‘not’ old age but sudden ’stroke’ and ‘heart attack’ at a rather not-so-old age. That was in 1987 when UMNO was declared illegal (thanks to Mahathir of course) by the court. Without going into detail of what had taken place, …read more

A veteran Umno leader today said he had been asked to pay for votes in an upcoming contest for top posts, and warned that money politics would destroy the organisation.
Foreign Minister Rais Yatim said “the majority” of Umno members were more interested in making money out of the election than in voting for the right person.

The following scenario depicts the actual reality of the BN Government…..
A Sabah MP today raised serious queries on the funds promised to his home state under the RM105 billion Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) launched in January.
[...]“There was not even a single grain of sand sent to us, was it just sweet-talk by the government to win the general election? The RM5 billion, will it be given, or will it not be given to us?”
[...]“Sabah does not need any sweet-talk. If there is (allocation), give it, if there’s not, let us know. Even in the Budget 2009 (tabled last August) the …read more

During my return trip to Kuala Lumpur after my recent Aidil Fitri vacation, I had a very bad feeling that there was going to be a big traffic jam so I didn’t follow the normal routes. Instead, starting my journey at about 11:30am from Pulau Melaka, I head off to Tok Bali through Bachok, and then from Tok Bali I cut accross to Pasir Putih and then merged with the mad traffic in Machang.
Under normal circumstances, the Machang to Kuala Krai trip would have taken no more than 20 minutes but on that fateful day, 4th October 2008, …read more
