  Businessmen lose RM32 mil after falling for fake GE15 promises
Posted by: superadmin - 07-22-2023, 11:12 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

A GROUP of businessmen, including a Datuk, were deceived by a company director who claimed that he wanted to work with them to establish a new political party called Barisan Penyatuan Nasional (BPN) for the 15th General Election (GE15) last year, resulting in an RM32 mil loss.

In addition to making contributions to the BPN establishment fund, some of them claimed to be victims of investment frauds and loan scams from the same individual.

Datuk Kamisan Palil, 38, a victim and previous independent candidate in Melaka, said he and several friends had met the man who allegedly requested that they contest for several parliamentary seats in Melaka.

The individual promised to bear all costs, including for the campaigning period in the Jasin parliamentary seat and had even forked out RM150,000 from his own personal fund in advance for the purpose.

“(Not long after that) I called the man again but all calls went unanswered and he even exited all our WhatsApp group chats,” Kamisan was reported as saying by Berita Harian today (July 21).

  The night Tun M dons the sacred green jacket, impressed with full-force Malay solidar

POLITICS never fail to impress. Nothing is permanent in politics; forget about moral grounds for rules can be bent and so, too, is personal conviction. Extreme versatility is the call of the day as one’s worst enemy today can be his best friend tomorrow and one’s best friend can be his worst enemy overnight.

Who would have expected former twice premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to one day during his advanced lifetime to embrace an arch rival in PAS president Tan Sri Hadi Awang who was willing to accept him with open arms in the name of “common grounds” despite his “past wrongs”?

“Although he (Dr Mahathir) had wronged PAS, there are many common grounds that must be taken into account: to unite and fulfil shared duties in Islam,” the cleric had reasoned out in a Facebook posting in the wake of their reconciliation in May.

“Among the discussions was how it’s a must for Malay Muslims to unite as Malaysia’s majority original residents and a majority in the multi-cultural society.”

  Environmental activist Abe Lim is Muda’s candidate for Bandar Utama

PETALING JAYA: Muda will be fielding UK-trained lawyer and climate change advocate Abe Lim in the urban Bandar Utama seat in Selangor, which was won by Pakatan Harapan (PH) with a thumping majority in the last state election.

In 2018, DAP’s Jamaliah Jamaluddin, who is expected to be retained by the party to defend her seat, polled 38,561 or 91% of the total ballots cast to win by a majority of 34,679 votes in a three-way contest. She defeated the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate, Ch’ng Soo Chau from MCA, and an independent, both of whom lost their deposits.

Perikatan Nasional (PN) is expected to field a candidate from Gerakan in Bandar Utama.

Lim is a trained lawyer from Oxford Brooke’s University. She has also completed an executive business programme at Stanford Business School in the United States and is said to have delivered two TedX talks.

  Sanusi a ‘disruptive force’, not showing leadership: ex-PKR senator
Posted by: superadmin - 07-21-2023, 10:53 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

GEORGE TOWN – Kedah caretaker menteri besar Datuk Seri Muhammed Sanusi Md Nor is becoming a “disruptive force” instead of showing leadership, former Balik Pulau MP Mohd Yusmadi Yusoff said. 

The former PKR senator said Sanusi should instead collaborate with other states in the northern region, even though he is from the opposition Perikatan Nasional.

Kedah is in need of investments to steer it away from poverty, but Sanusi is not helping his state by “quarrelling with everyone”, Yusmaidi said.

“When you quarrel with everyone, your state suffers as you are unwilling to collaborate. States with means to help their neighbours would rather stay away,” he told The Vibes.

Kedah is now ranked together with the likes of Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak as being among the most impoverished states in the country, Yusmaidi pointed out.

What happens when the people of a community want to retain their current representative, but the political party “grandees” have other plans to fill the seats with so-called “new faces” and “young-blood.”

This seems to be the DAP conundrum.

In its flagship state of Penang, there are rumours circulating that some of the old stalwarts are going to be unseated. These are the people who helped shape the policies around a more inclusive state in the last three terms, after years of BN rule.

But voters want these accomplished leaders who have served them well to continue.

  Muda unveils new ‘realistic’ manifesto
Posted by: superadmin - 07-21-2023, 08:27 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: 20230720_syed_saddiq_bernama.jpg]

PETALING JAYA – Muda has taken a realistic approach in its election manifesto, the Muda Black Paper II, for next month’s state polls, says its president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.

Syed Saddiq said the manifesto, launched today, is an idea, solution, and proposal for improvement to any party that will lead the state governments.

“Muda must be realistic. This is the idealism we want to share because it is impossible for Muda to take over any state, as we are not even contesting 10% of the total seats, so we want to outline the ideas and suggestions for improvements that can be highlighted. 

“Muda will highlight this (manifesto) as our solution if we are in the state assembly and become the voice of the people. As I said, we do not have the numbers to form the government, but we have ideas and improvements that we can propose,” he said at the launch of the Muda Manifesto at its main operations room here today.

  YOURSAY | KJ is a spokesperson for PN
Posted by: superadmin - 07-21-2023, 08:08 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

RedCobra1259: Khairy Jamaluddin, it is so surprising that you could assume that two Rs (race and religion) deserve more attention than one R (royalty). That is not how the law defines the severity of an offence. There are several factors that determine the weight of the offence. It is not one or two.

Secondly, mentioning temples will automatically involve the second R (religion). It’s a package deal, sir. Royalty is a standalone, separate institution. Someone can also claim attacking the royalty is also attacking another R (religion) as the royalties are deemed the defenders of the federation’s official religion.

Thirdly, what can we say about your comments? You are now the official spokesperson for Perikatan Nasional (PN). You are using the talk show to speak for PN so you will speak with a biased view as proven by the first and second points above.

Anyway, please don’t interpret the severity of the offence by one or two Rs. Logic says it does not work this way. What a poor assessment.

FairMind: Khairy, are you sure that caretaker Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor only violated one R and not three Rs altogether, including the remark that the Federal Constitution states that Penang is part of Kedah?

Either you just came out of the cave, or you are PN’s man. I have always viewed you as a prime minister candidate but you are beginning to become inconsistent with your educated background in line with PAS’ consistent fitnah (slander).

It is understandable that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang is ailing and Sanusi is trying to be tough like Hadi was when he was young. It appears that Sanusi is jostling to become the next president of PAS when Hadi leaves or at least, he wants to be thrust into the inner circle of power.
