| Don’t taxpayers have the right to know how much Putrajaya paid ex-AG Apandi? |

ONE wonders what makes the lawsuit filed by former Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali against former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir and the government regarding the termination of his contract ‘so special’ that the quantum of settlement cannot be divulged to the public.
While it can be understood that the terms of the settlement of the lawsuit are classified as confidential under the Official Secrets Act 1972, at least such secrecy should not be extended to the quantum of the settlement.
After all, the money to settle the lawsuit belongs to taxpayers, hence, the Malaysian public has every right to know how much Putrajaya has agreed to pay Apandi as settlement or whether the government has made the right decision to pay him that sum of money.

Of treacherous Muhyiddin going against Agong’s wish for Anwar to complete 5-year term
THE real power behind the Opposition leader has spoken: it’s a declaration of war as Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin has completely ignored the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s (YDPA) wishes that he (the King) will not swear in another Prime Minister (PM) before his five-year reign ends next January.
Yesterday (Feb 15), I criticised Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin for failing the Agong’s test to ensure political stability for the next five years to allow the country to unite a very polarised plural nation.
I said that Hamzah failed the minimum test to give an undertaking that Anwar would be the last PM – the 16th – that the YDPA will swear in before the end of his five-year reign next January.

FURTHER to objections raised by retirees and senior citizens over use of the MyJPJ app versus the use of the current physical road tax sticker and physical driver’s license plastic card in your article “Retiree: Elderly M’sians to face challenges in adoption of MyJPJ app” dated Feb 12, 2023, I would like to add that motorists and vehicle owners should be given the choice to use the MyJPJ smartphone app or the physical motor vehicle license windscreen sticker and their physical driver’s license, whichever they are more comfortable with.
While I am a senior citizen who will be 69 years of age in three months’ time, I am, however, also an electronics engineer who installed and maintained computer and communications equipment from 1982 till 1992.
I have also been writing about computers, communications and information technology since 1994 until today and have continued to work with computers, smartphones and communications equipment and have conducted many product reviews of PCs, mobile phones and smartphones.

KUALA LUMPUR – The government is taking positive steps towards better accountability and transparency by establishing a new convention for Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to regularly answer three queries during Prime Minister’s Questions and Answers (PMQs), say observers.
During PMQs, parliamentarians will be able to hear directly from the prime minister for an hour every Tuesday at the first meeting of the second session of the 15th Parliament, Anwar said yesterday morning.
However, the standard Minister’s Question Time for cabinet members will be held every Thursday.
Ong Ooi Heng, a parliamentary affairs researcher, said the newly introduced convention shows that the government has the political will to implement parliamentary reforms, including better accountability on the part of the prime minister who will directly answer questions regarding his administration’s policies or decisions.

KUALA LUMPUR – Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli gave Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin (Larut-PN) a lecture on economic growth in the Dewan Rakyat today, claiming that the opposition leader lacks knowledge on the matter.
This is after the Perikatan Nasional secretary-general questioned the accuracy of figures provided by Rafizi.
“I am thankful because now the whole country and the world can see that the opposition leader doesn’t understand the concept of economic growth,” he said, drawing laughter from the House.
Earlier, Rafizi was explaining the decision behind the setting up of the National Economic Action Council, which he noted will assist the government in planning, implementing and monitoring the economy.
For this purpose, the minister said the council will act as the government’s principal economic adviser, with a focus on coordinating decisions across the various ministries and agencies to resolve structural economic issues.
