Siapakah Petualang, Pengkhianat Dan Pembohong Dalam Umno ?

detikdaily | UMNO hari ini mempunyai dua kelompok ahli yang disifatkan sebagai gunting dalam lipatan - kelompok pensabotaj dan kelompok petualang.

Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi menghuraikan kewujudan kelompok pertama pada minggu pertama Mac 2008. Katanya, kelompok inilah punca utama BN kalah teruk dalam PRU12.

Lantaran itu, Abdullah menyatakan bahawa beliau sendiri akan membentangkan laporan kepada Jawatankuasa Disiplin UMNO supaya kelompok pensabotaj ini dikenakan tindakan. Kini sudah empat bulan berlalu. Namun begitu, sampai hari ini pun belum didedahkan siapakah pensabotaj sebenarnya di dalam UMNO.

Ketua Penerangan UMNO, Tan Sri Muhamad Muhd. Taib, menghuraikan kewujudan kelompok petualang dalam satu kenyataannya semalam.

Katanya: “Bila ada kalangan ahli MT yang membocorkan maklumat mereka boleh dianggap dan dikategorikan sebagai petualang kerana melakukan perbuatan yang menjijikkan dan memalukan. Sepatutnya perangai petualang ini tidak harus ada di kalangan pemimpin dalam parti.”... selanjutnya.

Minyak naik 78 sen, turun cuma 25 sen - Salahuddin

harakah | ...Apakah ini menggambarkan kebijaksanaan yang ada pada pemimpin Barisan Nasional (BN) sekarang. Atau tindakan itu sekadar melepas batuk di tangga kerana krisis dalaman Umno yang semakin membarah.

Mengulas perkembangan tersebut Ketua Dewan Pemuda PAS Pusat, Salahuddin Ayub berkata, biar pun kerajaan sudah dua kali menurunkan harga minya namun kadar inflasi kini mencecah lapan peratus.

"Ini menggambarkan kerajaan tidak mempunyai perancangan khusus dalam menangani bebanan rakyat. Tindakan kerajaan menaikkan harga minyak lebih 40 peratus pada Jun lalu mengundang kenaikan harga barangan di pasaran.

"Tetapi hari ini walaupun dua kali harga minyak diturunkan tapi harga barangan di pasaran masih mahal. Ini masalahnya kerana ketidakupayaan pemimpin yang ada sekarang," katanya pada majlis penyampaian zakat di pejabat Dun Demit di Kubang Kerian, baru-baru ini.Image

Pada Ogos lalu harga minyak diumumkan turun sebanyak 15 sen dan 24 September lalu turun lagi sebanyak 10 sen, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan penurunan harga minyak 25 sen. ... selanjutnya.

The changes makes it easier for me - Anwar

malaysianinsider | ... While meeting fund managers In Hong Kong on Thursday Anwar put up a brave front to questions on whether it is troubling him with Najib set to get the job he craves and whether the leadership transition in Umno means a strong and united Umno training its guns on him.

"No," Anwar told them. "In fact the changes makes it easier for me…nothing really has changed because the corrupt system remains, the cronyism remains and race and discrimination remains."

He went on to thrash Najib, attempting to link him to unexplained and unanswered questions over the murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu, the Mongolian woman who was blown up into pieces in late 2006 with C4 explosives.

Anwar also linked Najib with alleged "shady deals" involving multi-billion defence contracts and his inability to reform the corrupt system or give Malaysians a new hope of the future.

However after a string of successes, the political landscape is changing and turning hostile for Anwar.

His plans to seize power have been killed in its infancy and his allies DAP and PAS have got over the mesmerising effect of the Anwar-charm offensive and are now openly dragging their feet.

Worst is a potentially debilitating sodomy trial that will sap his energy, create distance between him and PAS and DAP and raising fresh questions about his ability and suitability to lead a nation from the docks.

Roboh kuil: MPAJ tidak rujuk Kerajaan Negeri

MSTar | Kerajaan Negeri Selangor pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat hari ini mengakui yang Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (MPAJ)telah merobohkan sebuah kuil di Ampang awal bulan ini walaupun dinafikan sebelum ini.

Dalam kenyataan media hari ini, Exco Kerajaan Negeri Selangor, Dr. A. Xavier Jayakumar berkata, pihaknya juga kesal dengan tindakan MPAJ merobohkan Kuil Sri Mahakaliamman di Kampung Tasik itu tanpa kebenaran kerajaan negeri.

"Kita telah arahkan kepada semua pihak majlis perbandaran di Selangor supaya mana-mana rumah ibadat yang hendak hendak dirobohkan mesti mendapat kelulusan kerajaan negeri," katanya semasa mengadakan lawatan ke tapak Kuil Sri Mahakaliamman hari ini.

Ia bertentangan dengan kenyataan Ahli Parlimen Ampang, Zuraida Kamaruddin dua hari lalu bahawa kuil berkenaan telah dirobohkan untuk kerja-kerja pengubahsuaian bangunan dan dokumentasi.

Dr. Xavier, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kesihatan, Pekerja Estet dan Kerajaan Prihatin berkata, tiada pihak berhak untuk merobohkan rumah ibadat sama ada masjid, surau, kuil, tokong mahupun gereja walaupun ia dibina secara tidak sah.

Surat makluman mengenai perkara tersebut juga telah dihantar kepada semua majlis perbandaran di Selangor.

Bagaimanapun Dr. Xavier berkata, perkara ini berpunca daripada kesilapan dan kelemahaan kedua-dua pihak.

"Pertamanya MPAJ meroboh tanpa merujuk kerajaan negeri dan keduanya pihak pengurusan kuil telah membina kuil ini tanpa mendapat kelulusan daripada pihak berkuasa tempatan," katanya.... selanjutnya.

Will UPKO do a 'SAPP'?

NST | When Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Yong Teck Lee announced the party’s decision to leave the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition on Sept 17, it did not surprise many people as it was expected.
This was because three months earlier, SAPP had given some indication of its intentions.

But when United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) yesterday threatened to review its position in Barisan Nasional, it came as a shock; as it was reminiscent of SAPP’s political move.

Upko is the second BN component party in Sabah to make a “strong statement” against BN after SAPP.

While SAPP unveiled Sabah-related issues as its political “weapon”, Upko appeared to be unhappy with the way the National Registration Department (NRD) handled the plight of 78-year-old Yong Lee Hua, a Sino-Kadazan, who was issued a red identiy card (IC) with the status of a permanent resident when she went to replace her blue IC that she lost in a supermarket in Penampang last year.... selanjutnya.

Gerakan mulls quitting Barisan, may join Pakatan

Star | Gerakan is considering the option of leaving Barisan Nasional and joining the Pakatan Rakyat opposition alliance.

Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon said this was among three options for the party - the other two being to either stay with the ruling coalition, or leave and become independent.

“We are not ruling out any possibility at this moment. We have to assess the situation, but we are not closing any doors.

“Neither are we saying we will definitely leave. It’s something we need to assess but we cannot do it based on sentiments alone,” he told reporters after launching the KL-Federal Territory (FT) state delegates conference here on Sunday.... selanjutnya.

Car buyers to pay more due to interest rate hike

Star | Car buyers will have to pay more in monthly instalments now that hire purchare interest rates have gone up.

Just a few months ago, banks offered interest rates at around 2.5%. Now, the rates are between 3.4% and 4.7% for new cars.

Maybank hire purchase senior manager Nor Siah Othman said the bank had experienced a drop of about 40% in car loan applications in the past two months due to higher rates.

She also advised car owners to restructure their loans to stretch the monthly payments longer after a few years of repayments if they find it a burden to service their loans.

A freelance car salesman identified only as Teo said a buyer taking a RM42,000 loan would have to pay about RM54,000 over seven years - about RM4,000 more compared to the RM50,000 paid when the interest rate was 2.7%.... selanjutnya.
