AJK PKR lawan PAS di Bagan Pinang

kemaskini 5.41pm Seorang ahli jawatankuasa PKR Kota Lukut, Shahrudin Abdul Hamid hari ini tampil menawarkan diri sebagai calon bebas dalam pilihan raya kecil DUN Bagan Pinang 3 Oktober ini.

Kehadirannya ini, jika menjadi kenyataan, akan menyaksikan pertembungan sekurang-kurangnya tiga penjuru dengan PAS dan BN.

Bekas kakitangan di pejabat ahli parlimen Teluk Kemang, Datuk Kamarul Baharin Abbas berkata beliau mahu bertanding bagi "memajukan industri pelancongan" di Port Dickson.

"Di sini, pelancongan penting. Saya mahu mainkan peranan naik taraf kemudahan di sini. Sekarang tidak nampak (usaha itu)," katanya kepada Malaysiakini hari ini.

Bekas pengerusi tetap Umno Kota Lukut itu, sehingga 2004, kini berniaga dalam bidang pengurusan acara.

Shahrudin, 52, pernah bertugas sebagai kakitangan Kamarul, yang juga pengerusi Majlis Pimpinan Negeri PKR Negeri Sembilan, hampir setahun selepas pilihan raya umum lalu.

Shahrudin berkata hasratnya untuk bertanding itu mendapat sokongan penduduk setempat.

"Ada yang bantah. Ada yang sokong. Tetapi banyak yang sokong," katanya, sambil menyifatkan penglibatannya itu nanti sebagai "pertandingan sihat" dan tidak seharusnya menimbulkan sebarang masalah.

Shahrudin juga berkata beliau pernah bertemu dengan Kamarul bagi menyatakan niatnya bertanding bagi pihak PKR tetapi hasratnya ditolak.

"Dulu saya pernah jumpa dia (Kamarul), hendak minta bertanding pakai lambang PKR. Tetapi dia kata tidak boleh," katanya.

Yakin mampu membuat kejutan dalam pilihan raya kecil itu pada 11 Oktober ini, Shahrudin berkata beliau merancang menggunakan strategi berkempen dari rumah ke rumah bagi menjimatkan wang.

Sementara itu, seorang pembantu Kamarul yang tidak senang dengan keputusan Shahrudin itu memberitahu Malaysiakini, tindakan itu dibuat mungkin disebabkan kecewa dengan keputusan PKR memberikan laluan kepada PAS di DUN tersebut.

Selama bekerja dengan Kamarul juga, kata pembantu itu lagi, anak tempatan Teluk Kemang itu juga didakwa mempunyai "rekod yang tidak baik".

Pembantu itu, yang enggan dikenali, mendakwa Shahrudin mempunyai hubungan kekeluargaan dengan bekas menteri besar dan juga ketua bahagian Umno Teluk Kemang, Tan Sri Isa samad – satu-satunya nama yang dicalonkan bagi mewakili BN.

PAS negeri menyenarai pendek tiga nama untuk diputuskan di peringkat pusat - pesuruhjayanya Zulkefly Mohamad Omar, yang dipertua Ramli Ismail dan bekas ketua Dewan Ulama PAS negeri Kassim Tahir.

UMNO parti Islam Cap Ayam?

Kawan kawan aku selalu cakap, pasal Cap Ayam ni, aku pun heran satu hari aku tanya lah...Cap Ayam tu aper? Ha Ha Ha diaorang ketawa...ni kira Cap paling koman lah...

Entah kali keberapa Umno diisytihar sebagai parti Islam, kurang dapat dipastikan. Mahathir pernah mengisytihar Malaysia sebagai negara Islam, maknanya Umno yang perintah Malaysia adalah parti Islam.

Abdullah pernah popular dengan slogan ‘Islam Hadhari’, maknanya Umno ketika itu parti Islam Hadhari. Suatu masa dulu Umno pernah digahkan sebagai parti Islam ketiga terbesar di dunia dan terbesar di Malaysia.
Kini Najib pula kata Umno adalah parti Islam. Buktinya, ayahnya pernah buat Felda, tolong orang miskin dan macam-macam lagi. Oklah tu.

BN tetap tidak akan berubah...

MIC mengekalkan presidennya. MCA masih tidak ketentuan, pendek kata BN masih tidak berubah bila mengambil keputusan mengekalkan Semi Velu sebagai Presidennya.

Mengikut Semi Velu, orang India tidak marah kepadanya tetapi kepada BN. Ya kalu begitu jangan undi BN, kalau boleh keluar dari BN, tetapi tidak masuk kedalam PR pun tidak mengapa menyusahkan juga kalau sudah macam ini.

Dengar kata pula calon Naib Presiden macam merajok sebab kalah, Subra katanya sedang memikirkan hala tuju politiknya yang baru...kalau Subra nampak boleh pakai lagi orang orangnya. Yang ini kita tawarkan masuk dalam PR. Atau tidak kuatkan Kelab Penyokong PAS.

Kebanyakkan mengikut laporan mereka cuma takut peluang perniagaan mereka tergugat, apa susah, kalau sudah tawan Malaysia peluang akan disamaratakan semua akan dapat melalui amalan tender terbuka. Fair and Square.

Apa pun..politik India ini kekadang diluar jangkaan, kejap kesini kejap kesana, perlu penelitian yang mendalam bagi mengenal pasti kelemahan kaum India ini. Tidak dinafikan jika mereka diberi peluang samarata mereka akan lebih menyerlah. Yang tinggal Melayu masih ditakuk lama. Sedih memikirkan.

Bila nak ubah ni?...UMNO oooii.

Idea Tok Guru -

Ramadhan Karim… Kelantan Membina Generasi Al Quran

Dinsman telah menulis….

” Ramadhan juga adalah bulan al-Quran, kerana al-Quran mula diturunkan kepada Nabi Muhammad saw dalam bulan Ramadhan. Mengambil sempena itu Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan pimpinan TG Nik Aziz mengeluarkan kain-kain banner yang menunjukkan orang membaca Quran, dan memasangnya di merata-rata tempat yang strategik. Tujuannya sebagai kempen supaya orang membaca Quran dengan lebih rajin di bulan Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah, kata Tok Guru, “kita tengok pun senang rasa hati.”

Tetapi hatinya yang senang itu pula mengusik mindanya menjadi kritis dan kreatif. Maka dilihatnya dalam imaginasinya ada gambaran lain yang lebih wajar, bagi menampilkan mesejnya. “Tolong buat banner lain,” kata Tok Guru yang kreatif ini, “orang baca Quran itu, kalau boleh, ada anak atas ribanya. Menandakan kita di Kelantan mendidik generasi Quran. Aku baca Quran, anak aku dengar. Walaupun anak baru berumur sebulan atau setahun, tapi Islam menetapkan apabila anak dilahirkan, kita diminta azan di telinganya, biar nama Allah dan Nabi Muhammad dalam azan itu masuk ke dalam telinga anak kita. Dia fahamkah tak fahamkah, tak mengapa, kita hanya turut Nabi Muhammad saw.”

Sangat menarik! Rupa-rupanya sampai kepada rekabentuk banner pun turut difikirkan oleh pemimpin ini. Lihatlah gambaran terperinci yang diberikannya: “Waktu dia baca Quran dan anak di atas riba itu, isterinya juga ada dalam gambar, membawa anak-anak pergi ke masjid. Dan anak-anak itu, waktu pergi ke masjid, dipimpin oleh emaknya, dia melompat dan menjerit suka tengok orang ramai di masjid, dan di masjid pula nampak ramai orang sedang mengambil wudhuk dan sebagainya.” - Dinsman

Saranan dan hasrat tok guru itu telah diterjemahkan oleh PMBK (Perbadanan Menteri Besar Kelantan) melalui billboard dan banner yang telah dipasang dijalan-jalan utama di seluruh Kelantan…

Billboard yang dipasang oleh PMBK hasil daripada idea dan saranan TGNA

PKINK juga turut sama menjayakan hasrat murni ini..

Okay le tu...Islam Mahathir.

Mirzan says San Miguel stake is just business

By Leslie Lau

Consultant Editor

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 13 – Mirzan Mahathir has defended his investment group’s stake in Philippines conglomerate San Miguel Corp (SMC), saying the company was well on the way to diversifying substantially from its brewery business.

In a letter to The Malaysian Insider yesterday, Mirzan said San Miguel Corp had decided to shift its attention to the infrastructure, public utility and energy requirements of the Philippines, from its core brewery business.

“Since Kirin Holdings of Japan acquired a significant direct ownership stake in the brewery division, this will result in a dramatic change in SMC’s revenue mix, with beverages expected to contribute less than 15% of total sales by next year,” he said in the letter.

The Malaysian Insider had reported this week that Mirzan, the eldest son of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, was recently appointed to the board of San Miguel Corp, the biggest food and beverage conglomerate in the Philippines and the owner of San Miguel Brewery Inc.

San Miguel Corp told the Philippines stock exchange last week about Mirzan’s appointment which is to represent the interests of Q-Tech Alliance Holdings Inc on the board.

Q-Tech, a Manila-based investment company in which Mirzan has a stake in, recently acquired a 19.9 per cent share in San Miguel Corp for 39.61 billion pesos (RM2.9 billion).

It bought the stake from Japan’s Kirin Holdings, which used the funds to help finance the acquisition of a 43 per cent stake in San Miguel Brewery Inc.

With this latest corporate exercise, San Miguel Corp still maintains a 51 per cent stake in San Miguel Brewery Inc.

San Miguel Brewery controls 95 per cent of the Philippine beer market. The company has made San Miguel Beer for more than a century. The beer is brewed in the Philippines, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, and is sold in 60 markets worldwide, according to the company’s Web site.

Mirzan’s involvement in the deal, while a sound investment decision, has raised some eyebrows among Malaysia’s conservative Muslim community.

Since news of Q-Tech’s acquisition of San Miguel Corp shares began circulating here, a number of news blogs have used it to attack Dr Mahathir’s Muslim credentials.

“Unfortunately, certain parties are keen to turn this exciting positive change in a well?managed Philippines corporation into an assault on the reputation of my father, even though he has nothing whatsoever to do with my business interests.

“I can only provide a rational explanation for my actions and it would be a pity if facts are twisted to gain dubious points from a straightforward business decision,” said Mirzan.

He said San Miguel Corp’s major diversification move was a major reason for his participation and starts a new era for the conglomerate.

Mirzan went on to list down some of San Miguel’s diversification acquisitions in recent years.

These include an option to acquire a controlling interest in Petron Corp., the largest Philippine oil refiner which owns 1,400 retail stations, and a substantial equity stake in Manila Electric Co., the largest distribution utility in the Philippines that has a base of over 4.5 million customers.

SMC has also announced its intention to venture into the telecommunications industry through their stake in Liberty Telecom Holdings Inc. with Qatar Telecommunications Co. to initially build a Wi?Max network and potentially a full?scale national cellular operation.

The company also recently won in a public auction, two major power plants with a combined generation capacity of 1,600 MW.

“Your article covered the beverage aspects of San Miguel but ignored the company’s recent purchases and strategy moving forward.

“As a Malaysian, I am looking forward to assisting San Miguel chart this new course and hopefully, its success will reflect well on our country and people,” said Mirzan of the report in The Malaysian Insider.

Mirzan’s corporate forays have not been without controversy.

He once controlled Konsortium Perkapalan Bhd when Dr Mahathir was prime minister, but was forced to sell its shipping assets to Malaysia International Shipping Corporation (MISC), in what critics said then was a bailout.

Passport Indonesia RM18, Malaysia?

Posted on 4:51 PM No Comments

The government will introduce a Malaysian international passport which cost RM100 and valid for two years as an affordable means for one-off or occasional travellers.

Kalau sebelum ini RM300 untuk lima tahun. Lagi mahal je tak? Hmmm....

Why are Malaysian passports expensive?
2009/08/03
WHY is it that our passports have become so expensive? It costs RM300 for a five-year passport. I recently renewed my maid's passport at the Indonesian embassy and it only cost me RM18 for three years.
I was so stunned that I had to ask the counter staff how much it was again and whether I needed to pay for anything else.

If a country like Indonesia can charge such a small amount, why can't we do the same? Are we paying for the microchip that is embedded in the passport?

I'm sure most Malaysians would agree that they do not want the chip if it's going to cost so much. After all, the chip only lightens the load of the Malaysian Immigration officers as they do not have to check the passports.

Furthermore, if the argument is that we do not have to wait in queue for too long at Kuala Lumpur International Airport as the chip ensures quicker access, most of the time, there are hardly any queues so the passports can be checked quickly anyway.

This chip is only useful in Malaysia and nowhere else.

Why does the ordinary citizen get taxed even when he wants to go on a holiday? For an average family of four, the cost of passports alone is RM1,200 and we have not even stepped out of the country. Besides, some countries require us to have entry visas which cost money, too.

Again, people may say that we should "Cuti-Cuti Malay-sia" and support domestic tourism. I don't think our tourism industry is suffering. Aren't the hotels registering full occupancy during holiday seasons? Don't we even have a choice of where we want to travel some of the time?

If the government wants to charge RM300 for each passport as a way to discourage people from travelling overseas, it is a strategy that is clearly not working. The number of people travelling overseas has increased, not decreased.

At the end of the day, the people being penalised are not from the middle and high-income groups who still travel regardless, but the low-income group. The latter might want to travel once in a lifetime for a pilgrimage or to visit relatives.

Baru gempakkan? Ini menunjukkan satu momentum baru dalam langkang memahami intipati Islam yang sebenar, banyak salah faham Islam selama ini dan langkah kearah Islamisasi dianggap langkah kebelakang, sebenarnya ia adalah untuk kebaikkan semua.

Islam promote keadilan, keamanan, kesefahaman dan sesuai dengan semua kaum.

Dasar Pandang KeTimur Mahathir akan jadi kenyataan

Posted on 3:47 AM No Comments

BN UMNO kena ikut dasar pandang ketimur yang diketengahkan oleh Mahathir bapak kemodenan malaysia, yang paling utama adalah negara matahari terbit telah menukar kerajaannya LDP kepada kerajaan baru.

Jadi BN UMNO perlu ditukar dalam 2 tahun lagi. Maka berjayalah harapan mahathir untuk pandang ke timur.

Yakinlah...BN sedang mengetatkan akses kepada Internet

Posted on 2:09 AM No Comments

Paling tidak mereka sedang mengurangkan aksesbiliti rakyat kepada laman web dan blog pro PR. Melihat kepada senario kebelakangan ini.

Tekanan kepada Malaysiakini, Malaysiatoday, Blog Blog Pro PR, TKO juga sering terganggu.

Adakah wujudnya IMPACT satu unit bagi keselamatan Siber di Cyberjaya antara salah satu dari program ini.

Jika diIndonesia terlalu ramai kumpulan hacker boleh dimanafaatkan untuk tujuan meng"godam" laman laman web. Termasuk wujudnya satu virus yang dinamakan "brontok" pada satu ketika dulu. Brontok membawa mesej yang jelas akan masalah sosial sekarang ini akibat internet.

Jika ini terus dibiarkan kita akan mundur kebelakang. Selamatkan Media Baru Rakyat

BROADBAND SLOWER THAN A PIGEON IN SOME COUNTRIE

BROADBAND SLOWER THAN A PIGEON IN SOME COUNTRIES

Posted on September 11, 2009, 8:32 am, by guansin, under Malaysia, Singapore, technology.

I heard on BBC World Service radio an hour ago of this very interesting story. A pigeon was used to compare with the data transfer using a broadband connection in South Africa. A 4GB memory stick was attached to the pigeon called Winston as the data carrier. The data destination was somewhere 60 miles away. Winston took two hours to finish off the job, whereas the poor Telkom ADSL only did 4% of the data.

The story gives an interesting perspective commonly known in the IT circle. Sometimes mixing old and new methods can be the best method of achieving something. A same analogy is to copy the huge amount of data into a hard disk, ask an office boy to carry it in a bus, to the remote office for offloading the data. Not only is it faster, but it is more cost effective.

But I think the issue here is that many broadband service providers are not true to what they claim to be offering. And I believe Malaysia is no exception, as I have heard many many complaints from Streamyx users of pathetic performance over their broadband lines. Worse, outages in Malaysia seem common and usually the service providers do not own up to the problem, not even a notice of any problem in their infrastructure. Such endemic problem is a reflection of a monopolistic environment in the telco industry in Malaysia.

I am floating this up just to solicit feedback and discussion from broadband users. I count myself fortunate as the home broadband here in Singapore has been pretty reliable of and high performance.
