WITH a demand for greater transparency, Malaysians craving for a first world nation may see the beginning of a new era of reformed politics where the people’s welfare comes first.
In a country where democracy has always allowed politicians voted into power to pursue their own agenda for the next five years, the situation in Selangor may change now that Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari is likely to face critics from within his own party.
Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) honeymoon is over after 15 years in power since 2008.
For this reason, Amiruddin’s administration may find itself now under heavy scrutiny not only from a stronger 22-seat Opposition bloc led by his own predecessor-cum-mentor Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali but also from his fellow PH comrades.
If the state EXCO fails to perform to the expectations of Selangorians, they may be gone for good. For this reason, the state government cannot continue to use party whips to silence the elected representatives, especially when it fails to hear the strong objections by the people.

| Is DAP bending backwards for the sake of unity or for power? |

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and some of the party’s leaders cast in the same mould have not stopped sounding warnings that DAP only wants to split the Malay community and destroy it.
There have been daily sermons in the PAS party organ now that campaigning has begun in the by-elections for the Pulai parliamentary seat and Simpang Jeram state seat in Johor, which were held by former Amanah strongman Salahuddin Ayub, who died last month.
The DAP bashing is so severe that some DAP leaders have expressed their frustrations in private, wondering how long they have to endure being used by PAS as a whipping boy to entice the Malay voters in the party’s quest for federal power.
They say this form of blatant attacks without basis is taking a toll on DAP: the better DAP performs in elections, the nastier the critics have become.

EVERY time a political leader glorifies Malaysia, they will talk about how “rich” the country is due to its diverse population.
They will describe Malaysia as the melting pot of culture, tradition, language, race and religion.
But look a little deeper, and we see the same politician somersaulting to pit us against each other using race and religion as a compelling narrative.
The play of race and religion on politics was the signature of the Umno administration, a cleverly manipulated rhetoric to keep us divided. And today, we are still seeing the consequences on the ground.
It’s our 66th Merdeka come August 31, and unlike the yesteryears, I hardly see any enthusiasm in Malaysians flying the Jalur Gemilang.
There is much friction and hostility amongst the diverse people who make up the society. And I see the potential of such animosity escalating, with the reason being multi-factorial – from the lacklustre economy and diminishing purchasing power to political grievances.

| No plans for Umno to revisit ties with crafty parties: Zahid |

PUTRAJAYA – Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Umno does not intend to “revisit” cooperation relations with scheming parties or leaders.
The Umno president said cooperation should come from sincerity and not from people with manipulative and crafty moves, who are not welcome as they are full of tricks.
“Any leader and party that is very manipulative, I don’t think we (Umno) should revisit that relationship,” he said when asked by a reporter to comment on a report that PAS is still open to continuing the unification agenda with Umno.
He was met by the media after a dinner with ambassadors and representatives from 29 member countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), here last night.

| ‘Green wave likely to hit brick wall in Umno fortress Johor’ |

KUALA LUMPUR – The so-called “green wave” may be playing on many pundits’ lips, and harped on by the Perikatan Nasional (PN) leadership, but it may still not be able to crash past the grand dyke of Umno in its bastion of Johor.
According to a political analyst, the stature of the federal unity government as well as the Umno-led state administration is rock-solid among Johoreans ahead of the two by-elections in the state next month.
Universiti Utara Malaysia’s (UUM) Prof Ahmad Martadha Mohamed said that the green wave, meant to signify the rising electoral clout of PN and especially its component party PAS, may not reach Johor.
“This is because traditionally Johor is the birthplace of Umno and is the party’s stronghold,” he said in comments made to Getaran, The Vibes’ Bahasa Malaysia sister portal.

| Boost economy with interest rate cut, says economist |

PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara has been urged to consider a cut in interest rates to spur economic activity after a low growth rate of 2.9% was registered for the first quarter of this year.
Barjoyai Bardai, an economist with Universiti Tun Abdul Razak, said a reduction in lending rates would increase consumer spending as it would boost their disposable income.
Bank Negara could lower the overnight policy rate to stimulate economic activity, he told FMT.
The OPR, or inter-bank lending rate, influences consumer rates. “It is a tool used by Bank Negara to invigorate the economy,” he told FMT. “When our economy faces challenges, the OPR is lowered to stimulate activity.”

| Lim accuses PAS Simpang Jeram by-election candidate of spreading lies, falsehoods |

I WAS shocked by the nomination day statement by PAS candidate for the Simpang Jeram by-election Dr Mohd Mazri Yahya (main pic, white shirt) who pledged to break down a purported wall of racial animosity allegedly built by DAP.
Is the PAS state seat candidate another Tan Sri Hadi Awang who spread lies, falsehoods, fake news and hate speech without having substantiate them?
I have been with DAP for close to six decades and the creation of a wall of racial animosity among the races had never been an objective of the DAP!
In fact, the very opposite is the case. Right from the very first general election that DAP contested in 1969, the party has put up a multi-racial slate of state assembly and parliamentary candidates.
Dr Mazri may not know that in the 1969 general election, two DAP Malay state assemblymen were elected but he should know that in 1987, I was accused of being anti-Chinese because Ahmad Nor was the DAP candidate in the Gopeng by-election. Although he lost in the by-election, Ahmad Nor went on to become the first DAP Malay MP in 1990.
Dr Mazri cannot be unaware that at present, DAP has three Malay MPs or is he suggesting that the three DAP Malay MPs, Syahredzan Johan (Bangi), Syerleena Abdul Rashid, (Bukit Bendera) and Young Syefura Othman (Bentong) are not Malays or Muslims?
