NST, October 18 2008
KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Youth demands an apology from Indian daily Malaysia Nanban and a beer company for an insensitive Deepavali advertisement that appeared in the newspaper yesterday.
They also lodged a police report against the newspaper and the Skol beer company claiming it was insulting to the Indian community.Its secretary, C. Shivarraj, said the advertisement by Skol printed on page 5 could lead to misperception on the Indian community as well as convey a wrong message to Indian youth."They are insulting the Hindus' Rangoli kolam by putting the beer bottles in the middle and stating that the Deepavali celebration will be more enjoyable with Skol beer," said Shivarraj at the Sentul police station here yesterday.He said members of the public who saw the advertisement might get the wrong idea that Indians were fond of drinking.Shivarraj added that Indian youth might also get the wrong idea that it was a norm to get drunk when they were adults."This misperception and wrong message of the Indian community must stop," said Shivarraj. He called for an apology from the newspaper and the beer company before Deepavali on Oct 27.The report was lodged by MIC Youth, Culture and Religion Bureau chief, K. Sathasivam, who was accompanied by Shivarraj.

HINDRAF Declared Illegal

The Hindu Rights Actions Force (Hindraf) has been declared an illegal organisation from today, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.
In a statement issued here, Syed Hamid said the decision to declare Hindraf as an illegal organisation was made following the ministry being satisfied with facts and evidence that showed Hindraf had and was being used for unlawful purposes and posed a threat to public order and morality.
“Based on powers vested under Section 5(1) of the Societies Act, Hindraf from today is declared an illegal organisation,” he said.
He said the order was being made as a result of monitoring and investigation on the organisation’s activities by the Registrar of Societies (ROs) and Home Ministry, since Hindraf’s inception.
Syed Hamid said if left unchecked, Hindraf would continue to pose a threat to public order, the security and sovereignty of the country as well as the prevailing racial harmony.
“The decision to declare Hindraf an illegal organisation is not based on one or two of its activities that are in contravention of the law but covers all the actions it has taken since being formed,” he said.
Syed Hamid said Hindraf had all the criteria of an organised movement because it had filed for registration with the ROS on Oct 16 last year.
The application had yet to be approved but Hindraf had actively exploited the Indian community to organise illegal assemblies and street demonstrations without permits to the point of causing a segment of the community to rise up against the Government and also hatred among the Malays and Indians in the country, he said.
“Hindraf has also tried to secure support from foreign countries for the purpose of pressuring the Government to bow to its demands,” he added.
Syed Hamid advised the public to distance themselves from Hindraf and not participate in any way in any of its activities. - Bernama

Tragedi Oktober : Anwar Ibrahim @ Mat Jenin

Penyokong-penyokong Anwar Ibrahim dari dalam dan luar negara, penulis-penulis blog, dan rakyat Malaysia amat menanti-nantikan detik sejarah yang akan direalisasikan oleh pemimpin mereka yang sensasi. Undi tak percaya kepada PM dan mengambil alih pentadbiran kerajaan pusat segali gus menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia pada hari pertama persidangan parlimen. Namun pemimpin penuh sensasi tersebut mempunyai cerita yang lain kali ini..... mari kita sama-sama menghayatinya...

Mengikut artikel malaysiakini.com, Ketua Pembangkang DS Anwar Ibrahim tidak berminat meneruskan rancangannya menukar kerajaan persekutuan melalui usul undi tidak percaya terhadap Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi di Dewan Rakyat yang sedang bersidang. Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berkata beliau sekarang menumpukan fokus pada isu-isu ekonomi, termasuk Bajet 2009."Buat masa ini fokus kita ialah terhadap bajet," katanya, juga ketua PKR, di lobi Parlimen hari ini.

Itulah angan-angan Mat Jenin. Ramai sahabat-sahabat diluar sudah mula meragui kata-kata sensasi DS Anwar Ibrahim sebelum ini. Kalau beliau mempunyai jumlah MP yang mencukupi untuk lompat parti, hari ini adalah hari penentuan. Maka terbuktilah bahawa kata-kata sensasi DS Anwar Ibrahim adalah dongeng belaka. Beliau tertekan dengan arus perubahan politik BN yang mula menampakkan kestabilan. Beliau ketandusan modal untuk berpolitik, maka terus cuba mengancam DS Najib yang menjadi batu penghalang kepada beliau dalam mengejar impian menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia.

Possible Crossover : PR to BN

YB Zulkifli Nordin - MP Kulim Bandar Baru - PKR

He did not turn up in Parliament although his party boss, Anwar Ibrahim, was making his maiden speech. Neither could he be reached for comments on the Alor Star High Court decision to throw out a BN petition after the BN withdrew it, ensuring Zulkifli remain as MP. The BN was said to have a strong case against Zulkifli as he did not submit his elections expenditure from his 2004 polls. No reasons have been given for the BN's decision.

Unknown source saying that he might join BN.

Hindraf’s response to direct membership into BN

The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) will only consider being a direct member of Barisan Nasional if its leaders are released from the Internal Security Act (ISA).

Hindraf national event coordinator Kannan Ramasamy said the movement also wanted to negotiate with the Government to ensure the safe return of its chairman P. Waythamoorthy from London.
He was responding to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ah­­mad Badawi’s proposal to allow direct membership into the Barisan without the need to join any of the component parties.

Anwar not revealing new date

source : TheStar

KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim does not want to reveal the new date in which he proposes to take over the Federal Government.
When pressed by reporters, he said: “I will not mention it (the date). At the appropriate time ... we will see a change.
“If the people want a change ... no power can prevent and stop it,” he said at his Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house at the Sultan Sulaiman Club in Kampung Baru here.

In Kota Baru last Friday, Anwar, the MP for Permatang Pauh and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser, said Pakatan Rakyat would set up a new federal government before Hari Raya Aidiladha on Dec 8.
Pakatan Rakyat failed to set up the federal government on Sept 16 as it had stated earlier.

DS Anwar Ibrahim is avoiding to issue any SENSATIONAL statement nowadays. Good for him.

PM in waiting...

Candidate 1 : DS Anwar Ibrahim

According to the Bernama & TheStar DS Anwar Ibrahim has set a new dateline to takeover the Federal Government. He says, It will happen before end of this year (8th December 2008).

“It is not like something I will allow to linger for one or two years. The momentum will continue when the Parliament goes into session on Monday,” he told a large crowd during a rally at Padang Perdana here on Thursday night.

He repeated his assertion that he had the numbers to form the new government.

Anwar said the “takeover” approach would be peaceful because Malaysia could not afford the Thai or Filipino mob style.

Although his speech fired the crowd into wanting more, Anwar stopped short of detailing his “takeover” modus operandi, saying it would remain a secret until the time was right.

Candidate 2 : DS Najib Tun Abdul Razak

Abdullah announced on last Wednes­day that he would not defend the Umno president post in the party elections in March next year, paving the way for Najib to contest the presidency and subsequently take over the chairmanship of the Barisan Nasional and helm the government as the prime minister.

Kuota rumah bumi daripada 30% kepada 50%

Source : Malaysiakini.com

Penetapan kuota bagi semua jenis rumah untuk Bumiputera di Kedah, yang dinaikkan daripada 30 peratus kepada 50 peratus, tidak menafikan hak mana-mana kaum, kata Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak.Katanya, dasar baru itu telah dipersetujui anggota majlis mesyuarat kerajaan negeri bagi memastikan setiap rakyat terutama golongan kelas pertengahan mampu memiliki rumah sendiri.

"HARAPKAN PAGAR, PAGAR MAKAN PADI.. Itulah alkisahnya.. berita yang kurang baik kepada pengundi-pengundi (bukan bumiputra) Pakatan Rakyat di Negeri Kedah Darul Aman. Yang lebih mengasyikkan ialah dasar baru itu telah dipersetujui oleh anggota majlis mesyuarat kerajaan negeri. Siapakan dia anggota majlis mesyuarat kerajaan negeri tersebut.. terutama sekali yang mewakili 'Makkal Sakthi' ... ooh yea.. beliau ialah

YB. ENCIK ARUMUGAM A/L VENGATARAKOO

"Keputusan ini juga dibuat selepas kajian mendapati masih ramai bumiputera tidak dapat membeli rumah kerana kuota itu tidak mencukupi. "Majoriti 1.5 juta (daripada kira-kira dua juta rakyat) adalah orang Melayu dan yang lain campuran India, Cina dan lain-lain dan kita ada banyak bukti apabila orang (Bumiputera) hendak beli rumah, pemaju kata sudah habis dijual," katanya dalam laporan Bernama.Azizan memberitahu pemberita demikian di majlis rumah terbuka sempena sambutan Aidilfitri di kediaman rasminya di Sri Mentaloon, di Alor Star hari ini. Beliau diminta mengulas kenyataan Pengerusi Persatuan Pemaju Hartanah dan Perumahan Malaysia (Rehda) Kedah Ricque Liew dalam akhbar hari ini yang mendakwa syarikat pemaju mungkin gulung tikar jika kerajaan negeri tidak memansuhkan dasar baru itu.Liew yang mahu kerajaan negeri mengikut dasar kuota nasional 30 peratus mendakwa, langkah itu akan menyebabkan keuntungan penjualan balik hartanah yang dibeli oleh Bumiputera mengikut harga pasaran terhad. Sementara itu, Azizan berkata kerajaan negeri juga mahu pemaju perumahan membina lebih banyak rumah mampu milik seperti kos sederhana berbanding berharga tinggi mencecah RM300,000 supaya mampu dibeli golongan pertengahan khususnya di bandar. "Kerajaan nak pastikan rakyat mampu miliki rumah, kalau harga rumah lebih RM250,000, warganegara asing sahaja akan beli."Keputusan ini juga adalah demi kepentingan orang ramai tapi kalau cakap pasal keuntungan, memang (pemaju) akan tutup (gulung tikar). Tapi tak mungkin mereka akan tutup," katanya.
