JOHOR BAHRU: Muda’s candidate for the Tenang seat, Lim Wei Jiet, said affirmative action must be based on people’s needs rather than race.
He said it was time to move away from the New Economic Policy which had been abused.
In an interview with FMT, Lim said he did not want situations where projects were given and quotas fulfilled simply because of one’s skin, especially when these went to the well-to-do.
“At the end of the day, you want the poor to be empowered and given extra support.
“We’ve seen the abuse of the NEP countless times over the decades by Umno-Barisan Nasional, where rich people’s kids get to enter Mara Junior Science Colleges (MRSMs), for example.

BobbyO: Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, why did Goldman Sachs, the US Department of Justice (DOJ), and all the other entities pay billions of dollars if there was no crime committed?
Did they pay for the fun of it or they had so much excess funds that they, like the Saudi royal, decided to give billions to this nation just because they like us so much?
Either way, Najib, you are losing it. Your sense of rational thinking, that is. Or you make Malaysians feel as if they are born fools. Indeed, some of us are. Those who root for you and want to be part of your entourage, wherever you go.
You only told half the truth - that the nation had recovered the full portion of the heist. There are billions more outstanding, which the taxpayers are forking out year after year.
Dr Raman Letchumanan: Najib, excellent point. So are you going to file a fresh appeal to the Federal Court to say since the money has been recovered, your conviction in the SRC International case should be withdrawn? And your ongoing case on 1MDB should also be struck off?
No wonder your hotshot lawyer is off to the UK to hunt for a Queen’s Counsel. No wonder you are called Bossku. No wonder you are campaigning hard in the elections. Once in power, all cases can be ‘kautim-ed’.
But still, this strategy is not far-fetched. Charges were withdrawn from a Felda senior official who paid back the money he received.
In any case, have you heard about ‘lembu punya susu, sapi dapat nama’? (One man’s sweat becomes another man’s glory) You plundered and miraculously the Pakatan Harapan government recovered the money. And you are proudly claiming credit for it.
Let me give you a suggestion. Please help the present government recover all the money.
Federal Bakery: The audacity. It is like someone crapping on your doorstep saying he actually used his own toilet paper.
He thinks he is talking to idiots even if his words are meant for the gullible section of the population, including those who would invite him to talk to kids in schools.|
The money that was returned to the government was only recovered because of the integrity of systems in other countries that are still ruled by laws.
In the ordinary course of events, if it was left only to our own regulators, not only would this canary be flying free but the stolen loot would be funding the pleasures of degenerates from here to the Virgin Islands.

Tony Pua: Najib continues to make a fool of himself in Parliament by trying to shift 1MDB blame to subsequent ruling govts
KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 ― Datuk Seri Najib Razak is only continuing to make a fool of himself by pleading his 1MDB case in Parliament and trying to shift the blame to the subsequent governments, said Damansara MP Tony Pua.
The DAP National Publicity Secretary said that his latest show came just yesterday (March 3), when Najib questioned why his successors did not pay off 1MDB's bonds ahead of the maturity date to save on interest costs.
He claimed that the government could have used the funds recovered from Goldman Sachs, the US Department of Justice, Ambank, KPMG and Deloitte to pay 1MDB bonds.
“Najib thinks that redeeming bonds traded in the bond market is like paying off his housing loan with a bank. Except it isn’t, and that’s why it’s called a bond, and not a bank loan.

| Perak’s prerogative to stop supplying water to Penang: Tuan Ibrahim |

MUAR – The Perak government’s decision not to continue supplying raw water to Penang was made under the state’s jurisdiction, said Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.
The environment and water minister said this was because the administration of water resources were under the respective state governments, and Perak had provided an explanation on the decision.
“Perak has to prioritise the state’s needs as it will have a population of three million by 2035,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after campaigning for the Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate contesting for the Simpang Jeram seat in the Johor polls last night.
He said negotiations had been conducted and the Perak government said it needed a big water treatment plant in the northern part of the state.
A meeting between Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow was held to discuss water supply sources.
Tuan Ibrahim said Penang had the biggest water storage reserve in Malaysia with a 30% reserve margin, compared with other states.
At the same time, Tuan Ibrahim said Penang could implement other alternatives, including finding new underground water sources.
Yesterday, Perak said that it was unable to supply raw water from Sg Perak to Penang as proposed under the Sg Perak Raw Water Transfer Scheme as studies indicated that the state did not have enough water for its own use. – Bernama, March 4, 2022

| A look at the controversy over 1MDB’s debts |

PETALING JAYA: The issue over the repayment of 1MDB’s principal debts has escalated since former prime minister Najib Razak spoke about it in Parliament on Wednesday.
Finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz addressed the issue in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday after Najib and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng had also subsequently released statements on it.
It also led to Petaling Jaya MP Tony Pua submitting a motion in the Dewan Rakyat to refer Najib to the Rights and Privileges Committee for trying to confuse MPs over the issue.
Pua said it was inaccurate to say that not a single sen of public funds was used to repay 1MDB’s principal amounts as the Najib-led administration had repaid RM8.8 billion in principal and interest prior to 2018.
FMT takes a look at how this issue has snowballed.

| KL-Bangkok HSR not a good idea, says expert |

GEORGE TOWN: The proposed Kuala Lumpur-Bangkok High-Speed Rail (HSR) project is a bad idea, says a transport expert.
Goh Bok Yen said the government should first build the HSR to Singapore and then build the second leg of the service to Bangkok.
He said linking up with Singapore would make better economic sense as it would tap into the island republic’s international market and will have guaranteed spillover effects in Malaysia.
“I don’t see any reason for us to link up to Bangkok as the core economic activities with Thailand are not with the capital city, but at the border towns in the north.

| When is the right time for GE15, Tok Mat asks Tajuddin |

PETALING JAYA: Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan has urged the party’s Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman to “enlighten” the people as to when the next general election (GE15) should be held.
“Is it the end of the year? Or do we wait for the current parliamentary term to expire, sometime after May 2023?” he told FMT.
“Since Datuk Seri Tajuddin says I am ‘pressuring’ the prime minister to call for GE15, perhaps he can advise all Umno members as to when we should have GE15.”
Mohamad said the grassroots, including the Youth and Puteri wings, had proposed that GE15 be held earlier, before the current Parliament terms ends in 2023.
“But it’s okay, maybe he knows better than the grassroots, so let him suggest the correct timing for GE15.”
Earlier this week, Tajuddin accused Mohamad of “pressuring” the prime minister to call for GE15 immediately at a time when the government was stable after the MoU signed with Pakatan Harapan last year.

The world could be on the brink of an energy crisis rivaling the 1970s, says IHS Markit’s Yergin - Russia’s Ukraine invasion could have set in motion an energy market disruption on the scale of major oil crises in the 1970s, according to Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of IHS Markit.
- Sanctions by the U.S. and allies on Russia’s financial system have disrupted sales of Russian oil, with banks and buyers wary of running afoul of the punitive measures.
- “This could be the worst crisis since the Arab oil embargo and the Iranian revolution in the 1970s,” said Yergin.
Russia’s Ukraine invasion could have set in motion an energy market disruption on the scale of major oil crises in the 1970s, according to Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of IHS Markit.
Moscow is one of the world’s largest oil exporters. Sanctions by the U.S. and allies on Russia’s financial system have already set in motion a backlash against Russian crude from banks, buyers and shippers.
Yergin, also an author and energy market historian, said even though Russian energy was not sanctioned by the U.S. and other countries, there could be a large loss of Russian barrels from the market. The country exports about 7.5 million barrels a day of oil and refined products, he noted.
