Melayu hak UMNO, Islam hak PAS?

Akibat trauma dengan keputusan mahkamah membebaskan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dari dakwaan liwat, media-media milik UMNO dengan pantas dan terus-menerus menyerang Pakatan Rakyat.
Daripada isu pemecatan Datuk Dr Hasan Ali yang mana lidah rasmi UMNO, Utusan Malaysia, cuba menobatkannya sebagai pejuang Islam tulen dan menggambarkan kononnya PAS sudah lari perjuangan asalnya, hinggalah kepada isu perubahan portfolio agama Islam yang ditinggalkan oleh Hasan di Selangor.
Kini portfolio itu telah diambil alih oleh Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim. Portfolio baru Belia dan Sukan diberikan kepada Exco yang baru, iaitu Dr. Ahmad Yunus Hairi dari PAS yang menggantikan Hasan.

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 JAN: Hanya dasar ekonomi yang bersih, adil, berdaya saing, meningkatkan taraf hidup rakyat serta membawa pulang pakar-pakar kembali ke tanah air dapat menjayakan transformasi menjadikan Malaysia negara berpendapatan tinggi.
Setiausaha Agung DAP Lim Guan Eng berkata Tahun Baru Cina kali ini dengan perwatakan naga air adalah masa permulaan yang paling sesuai untuk rakyat Malaysia melakukan perubahan dan trasnformasi besar itu.

Ah Wah Gor memintas Ah Jib Gor dalam 24 jam!

Sekali lagi Najib Razak tersungkur di gelanggang internet, apabila terbuka untuk persaingan bebas tanpa sekatan.  Apa tidaknya, usaha Najib untuk mendampingi warga internet Cina terus digagalkan, apabila mengundang pelbagai reaksi negatif - yang dijelmakan dengan pendekatan yang cukup "kreatif".

Bermula dengan laman sosial Facebook versi bahasa Cinanya yang dibanjiri sindiran dan kritikan tajam, seterusnya diperlekehkan pula apabila warga internet menubuhkan laman Ah Jib Soh (makcik Ah Jib, merujuk kepada isteri PM), dan terkini, laman sosial Facebook Ah Wah Gor (merujuk Anwar Ibrahim) - menarik bilangan peminat yang lebih daripada Ah Jib Gor dalam tempoh 24 jam selepas ditubuhkan.

Anwar Ibrahim: Return of a reformer

When the Kuala Lumpur High Court judge delivered a not guilty verdict in the Anwar Ibrahim sodomy trial, the former deputy prime minister was taken aback. Ibrahim, 64, told reporters after his release on January 9, "To be honest, I am a little surprised." The final scene of the 13-year politico-legal drama was over faster than anyone expected. Judge Zabidin Mohamad Diah took only two minutes to give his ruling, saying DNA samples used as evidence might have been contaminated and that he could not convict in the absence of other corroborating evidence.

Walk your talk and not talk your walk: Lessons still unlearnt by 'Big Mama' and 'Ah Jib Gor'

Again, our prime minister’s wife is in the spotlight. This time around, and like always before, Rosmah is making heads turn for all the bad reasons.
The widely reported holiday-cum-shopping spree she indulged in is making its round both in the local and foreign circuit. This consistent portrayal of a free-spending-mama story is not and will not do any good for our ‘First Lady’; definitely not for her man-at-the-helm of national governance; and without doubt it will only keep eroding Malaysia’s public rating.

Come on brothers and sisters, we need to band together to get rid of the BN!

LET'S HAVE A PLAN! In recent months, many groups have risen to stake their claim on the reform movement now sweeping through Malaysia. No doubt, having more voices speaking out against injustice, corruption and promoting civil liberties is a good thing, yet too many heads singing their own tunes may in fact cripple rather than help the reform movement here, or anywhere else in the world. As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth.
The issue is one of coordination and cohesiveness of information. All members of the reform movement have to speak and think the same agenda. There is no point speaking of reforms when each component is on a different page and speaking in their own language.

Stop bullying the Chinese and stop frightening the Malays

The time has come to implement economic policies that are clean, fair, competitive and improves the well-being of the people as well as attract back talented Malaysians that can help transform Malaysia into a high-income nation enjoyed by all. What better time than the year of the water dragon to initiate such changes so that the coming general elections marks the new beginning that would be enjoyed by all Malaysians rich and poor by 2020.

Present policies which are corrupt, opaque with no open tenders and benefits only certain cronies would only bring Malaysia backwards. A good comparison is South Korea. In 1970, Malaysia’s Gross National Income(GNI) per capita was USD 380 as compared to South Korea USD 260. But 40 years later in 2010, Malaysia’s GNI per capita was at USD 7,760 while South Korea had exceeded us by almost 3 times at USD19,890 (World Bank)
