Challenge may split Wanita: Rafidah

HONGKONG: Datuk Dr Siti Zaharah Sulaiman's challenge for Wanita Umno's top post may split the movement, said incumbent Wanita Umno chief Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz.

The Paya Besar MP is making a bid to unseat Rafidah, who is the international trade and industry minister, in the party elections in September

Rafidah said the challenge by the former national unity and social development minister will only recreate old problems.

"I do not know what is her motive. But many will agree if I say that in the aftermath of the contest which she (Siti Zaharah) had won, problems cropped out," Rafidah who is leading a Malaysian trade mission here told Bernama.

Naik muak dah dengar alasan ni....

‘Umno Sdn Bhd’ culture ruining party: Rahim
Yoon Szu-Mae(MalaysiaKini)

Former Malacca chief minister Rahim Tamby Chik has attributed his defeat as Umno Kota Melaka divisional head during the ongoing divisional polls to rampant money politics within the party, alleging candidates were asked to pay up to RM1,000 for a vote.

Rahim, who lost to incumbent Amid Mordin in Sunday’s elections, said the reason behind his defeat was his refusal to pay for votes. Rahim garnered 126 votes to Amid’s 235.

At a press conference today, Rahim said he expected his revelation to be unpopular with many Umno members. He said he was raising the issue now as he had experienced first-hand being ‘victimised’ by Umno’s money culture.

Rahim also said several leaders within Umno are openly known to use the party to gain preferential access to state land titles, government projects and lucrative contracts.
Among the preferential awards given to Umno leaders and individuals linked to them include titles to over 200 acres of land including at the seafront, 30 taxi permits and a 15-year road maintenance concession worth RM2 million, Rahim alleged, adding Kota Melaka Umno members are openly aware of these awards.

“Those leaders who have enjoyed these ‘privileges’ will continue to fight tooth and nail to defend their positions within Umno, regardless of the price they have to pay. To them, Umno is just ‘Umno Sdn Bhd’, an opportunity to gain more privileges,” he said.

Dah lamaa daah..satu malaya pun dah tau.Bukan la ni..sejak dari dulu dah perkara macam ni berleluasa termasuk la yg hok dok mengadu ni sendighi pun buat noooo...

Barking at the wrong tree

Pickup this story inside Malay Mail report on murder of Darren Kang, a student died after attack in front of a restaurant.

Another said fights and brawls were common in the Desa Sri Hartamas area.

Youngsters usually would converge at the restaurants after partying the night at several discotheques in the area.

"Most of them would be drunk and brawls and fights would start at the slightest provocation,” said a businessman.

“The only way to combat this menace is for the police to make their presence felt in the area.”


Dei..the only way is... close the discotheque laa..habis cerita..

May the judge be with U

Malek to be sworn in as Court of Appeal president
PUTRAJAYA, July 07:(NST)
Federal Court judge Datuk Abdul Malek Ahmad, one of the country’s most respected judges, will be sworn in as the Court of Appeal president on Monday.

The decision to appoint Abdul Malek is seen by many, including lawyers, as a move by the Government to restore the image and integrity of the Judiciary.

He is known by the Bar to be a hard-working man who delivers his judgments fast.

He also has an impeccable reputation as a jurist.

Among the important cases he dealt with as Federal Court judge was the RM100 million defamation suit by former Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim against former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in 1999.

Abdul Malek was also on the Federal Court panel which ruled as unlawful the 60-day detention order by the police against five Opposition leaders and activists under the Internal Security Act.

The appellants were Keadilan Youth chief Mohamad Ezam Mohd Noor, its national vice-president, Chua Tian Chang a.k.a. Tian Chua, Reformasi activist Hishammudin Rais, former Jemaah Islamiyah Malaysia president Saari Sungib and "Free Anwar" campaign director Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin.

Is there lights at the end of the tunnel?...god knows.

Democracy...Their Way

Susilo Bambang Takes Lead In Presidential Polls

From Openg Onn

JAKARTA, July 6 (Bernama) -- Popular ex-military general Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is maintaining his lead to become President of Indonesia as counting continues following Monday's polling in the landmark direct presidential election.

Bambang, who contested under the Democratic Party took the lead soon as the National Tabulation Centre, set up at a local hotel here, received the first results from counting centres all over the country at 6pm. (7pm Malaysian Standard Time), Monday.

By midday Tuesday, (1 pm Malaysian Standard Time), he and his running mate Yusuf Kalla had garnered 5,244,492 votes or 33.31 percent of the votes counted so far with incumbent President Megawati Sukarnoputri and her duet Hasyim Muzadi, in second spot with 4,163,090 votes (26.44 percent).

Another former general and ex-military chief, Wiranto, of Golkar Party, and his running mate Solahuddin Wahid, are close behind with 3,655,704 votes (23.20 percent).

A popular reform figure, Amien Rais, leader of the National Mandate Party and his partner Siswono Yudhohusodo, came in fourth, with 2,585,190 votes (13.71 percent).

Vice President Hamzah Haz, head of the United Development Party pairing with another ex-general Agum Gumelar, are in last spot with a dismal 526,322 votes or just 3.34 per cent.

Bambang's popularity conforms a survey last week which gave him a 43.5 percent support, more than that of his four rivals combined.

But he needs more than 50 per cent of the vote to avoid a runoff between the top two candidates, scheduled for Sept 20.

While counting in most of the centres had been completed, the Election Commission (KPU) is struggling to hold balloting at dozens of centres which had to be delayed due to bad weather and increased volcanic activity.

Polling in two island villages in West Sumatra and eight in North Sumatra, had to be postponed when ballot papers and other election materials failed to reach their polling centers because of rough seas.

KPU chairman Nazaruddin Syamsuddin could not say when voting in those villages would be carried out as it depended on the weather.

In East Nusa Tenggara, polling had to be deferred indefinitely in two villages near Mount Egon, when hundreds of voters were forced to flee their homes after increased volcanic activity.

Saya cukup cemburu dengan Indonesia.Amalan demokrasi jelas semakin subur dibumi garuda ini.Memang benar,pendokong anti-reformasi di bumi malaya sering menempik.."Apa guna reformasi diMalaya kalau bumi ini kacau-bilau,ekonomi carca merba dan politiknya huruhara"..itu memang benar.Tapi bagi saya itulah dinamakan pergorbanan yang mesti dibayar untuk memastikan demokrasi itu terus hidup.
Lihat saja Indonesia, untuk seketika(terutama selepas Suharto tumbang),politik dan negaranya huruhara.
Sewaktu PEMILU pasca reformasi,bermacam-macam keganasan timbul hinggakan presidennya bersilih ganti tapi lihatlah setelah hampir 7 tahun selepas era reformasi, PEMILU kali ini jelas meriah sekali.Tiada lagi keganasan atau ketegangan.Malah kempen-kempen politiknya siap dengan ada dangdut sekali...boleh jadi tak manis tapi menyeronokkan. Pemilihan Presidennya jelas memberi peluang kepada marhaennya memilih yg terbaik(banyak pilihan pulak tu).Saya percaya, give them 20 more years and they will beat Malaya economically and politically.

Azimi tarik diri, Puteri sengit
KUALA LUMPUR 5 Julai(utusan) - Persaingan bagi jawatan Naib Ketua Pemuda UMNO menjadi semakin menarik apabila berlaku lagi senario `tarik diri' manakala Puteri pula terus sengit berentap untuk merebut kerusi ketua, menjelang pemilihan parti September ini.

Yang terbaru hari ini, seorang lagi bakal calon pesaing bagi jawatan Naib Ketua Pemuda, Datuk Azimi Daim mengumumkan beliau tidak akan bertanding jawatan itu.

Keputusannya itu bermakna Exco Pemuda, Khairy Jamaluddin, 28, adalah satu-satu potensi calon yang tinggal untuk jawatan itu, setelah tiga yang lain juga `menarik diri'.

In Umno, when U challenge the leader it is considered as memecah belahkan parti.Propaganda itu akan sentiasa ditiupkan acapkali ada
pertandingan jawatan parti sehinggakan ianya dihitam-pekatkan sebagai amat-amat negatif sekali.Ianya tak pernah cuba dilihat sebagai sesuatu yang sihat.Begitulah takutnya parti ini kepada insan bernama demokrasi.Sebab itu,bila ada pertandingan saja maka budaya "Yang menang kaut semua, Yang kalah hilang segalanya" berleluasa.Oleh itu,to challenge the incubent even at branch level pun, risikonya amat tinggi sekali.

Berbalik kepada berita diatas,maka amatlah difahami mengapa semua calun cabut lari bila dengar nama KJ saje...waa,ini menantu manya hebat loo..
