You mean those Nepalese in the Hotel Services industry, Gurkhas in Security Services, Indonesian in building & construction industry. The cost of having these ppl. are cheap, the employer just have to provide them simple meals, accomodation, and pay a minimum wage of RM 200 per head. While they help to build our bridges, highway, and buildings, they also help Malaysian to save cost of building it. Hence, they deserve equal treatment as well. The sad things are, no matter how good they help Malaysia, the Malaysian still treated them like outsider. Those who benefit are the politicians who earn alot of commissions by approving these cheap foreigner workers.

Demanding equal rights for being Malaysian is not justified just because one is a citizen of Malaysia but the bigger responsibility of all Malaysian is defending the nation by joining the uniform units ie; by serving in the army, navy, air force, police force, ministry of health, DCA, ACA, PSD and all other the public sectors by all races in Malaysia. The Pakatan Rakyat MP’s must draw up policies that will attract the common citizens that serving the country is the most honourable & divine service. The citizens would NOT want to see the taxpayers’ money is wasted unnecessarily due to wrong decisions by politicians. Citizens would want to see that sincere, hardworking, dedication, respect for each other fellow Malaysian are rewarded. The public sector must be attractive that even the private sector would want to join the government. The public sector MUST have the best people to run this country and politicians MUST support them regardless of their race. To achieve developed status country by 2020, this country MUST be defended to the last blood by all races not just Malays. We must give utmost priorities to citizens, instead of allowing foreigners ripping the wealth at the expense of Malaysian taxpayers. The politician must see that taxpayers are leaving in safe, peace & harmony environment, welfare state, good education & health policies, freedom of expression, etc. The politicians must go after the big sharks who evade taxes, go after power abusers, corrupt politicians & businessmen, officers both in private & public sectors, and NOT after the small fishes / the masses (monthly wage earner). Majority of the voters are monthly wage earners NOT businessmen or foreign investors. Taking care of our backyard, inside & outside and surrounding of our citizens MUST be the top of agenda. Not building longest bridge, tallest tower, biggest pig farm, sending astronauts to space, mission to artic & Antarctic, biggest dam, sophisticated government buildings (eg Putrajaya), many mosques or temples without worshippers. Thank you. May God bless you all.

What goes around, comes around - and, yep that’s the way it goes!

Who does the IGP answer to on matters directly pertaining to incidents in the states politically controlled by the opposition? What about the Chief of Police? Who do they answer to or take their instructions from?

If Malaysia is a true federation, you’d have state police and state courts with their own state supreme courts - and their own state laws. As it is law enforcement, public order and internal security is with the police meaning PDRM, and its head the IGP answers directly to the Home Minister or whatever name he is called today.

As long as both are around for years to come, our country will gradually move to a united, modern and progressive multi racial and religious country.

Anwar further said, “Yes, we have enough MPs to topple the government. We are saying here for the first time that we are ready (to rule the country),” he said. “But we will only enter when the majority is comfortable”. Another good one.

This morning news, Anwar called on Pak Lah to establish a Royal Commission to investigate allegations of abuse of power on part of TDM which may be seen as part of 1st step by Pakatan Rakyat to pressure for judicial and other institutional reforms. Things have gone a full circle (Anwar was prosecuted and convicted of abuse of power under TDM’s watch).

Anwar said that “rather than seizing government, the opposition’s priorities are to consolidate its gains and work with Sabah and Sarawak lawmakers “who agree with our new Malaysian agenda.”
However Pak Lah floundering amid mounting calls to resign so Anwar said, “the situation in Malaysia is uncertain at the moment, people don’t know when the prime minister is going and who will succeed him, so we will respond to this.” Anwar said.

If and when they remove Pak Lah, all hopes of reforms from BN’s side will also flounder. That’s the time to consider making the move.

For the change to take place, please join some work group, NGO.

Another issue that needs immediate attention is the ACA. Please push for reforms in the ACA. By name, it is an anti-corruption agency but by conduct, it appears to be a political tool for the high and mighty. For a start, please push for the independence of ACA and a good starting point would be to put it under the jurisdiction of the parliament.

It is high time for our politicians in the ruling party to seriously think and act globally instead of just giving fantastic and flowery speeches like smart partnership and globalization and whatever. The world is becoming more and more borderless by the day and yet our politicians kept looking inward and narrow minded harping on issues like Malay rights and constitution and a whole host of issues that existed since Merdeka. 50 years on and we still talk about the same old issues while the whole world is flying past us.

The world is sprinting but our government is walking. Without judicial reforms, without clean, efficient and uncorrupted governnace, investors will not come here. If we don’t have economic progression, our people will not progress and even putting food on the table for our family may eventually become a problem. Look at Haiti.

Pakatan - please act. You are our hope!
