HANGIT BERKARI! MAT SABU DAN PAS BUAT GIMIK BODOH!
Mat Sabu tak cukup duit nak bayar duit jaminan sampai Unit Amal kena gerakkan tabung. Kemudian kira duit yang terkumpul di hadapan wartawan dalam mahkamah. Konon-kononnya PAS miskin dan Mat Sabu pula memang pemimpin yang tidak berduit.
Tapi aku rasa pun, Mat Sabu jenis takdak duit dalam kocek atau memang kedekut nak keluar duit sendiri. Kalau dia ada banyak duit,

Not blatant mischief?

Critics of a EC say which BN has no reason to attack or put down a EC, as a EC is doing BN's work.

What if it was Najib in the sex video?
Some NGOs wish to know because Pakatan Rakyat leaders have been superfluous wordless upon Anwar being concerned in a sex scandal as well as would they keep quiet if it was Najib Tun Razak.
PETALING JAYA: Would Pakatan Rakyat leaders sojourn wordless if there was a video implicating Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in a sex scandal?
This was a question an NGO popped up when referring to a ultimate video upon Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
The video snippet allegedly showed Anwar entering a road residence with bureau worker Shazryl Eskay Abdullah.
Commenting upon a video, Coalition of Malay Students in Peninsular Malaysia (GPMS) secretary-general Zambri Mohd Isa criticised antithesis supporters for practising double standard.

"But when it comes to Anwar's case, not even a squeak is listened from his supporters," Zambri said.
Last week, pro-Umno blogger Papagomo posted a brand new video snippet purportedly joining Anwar to a sex video expelled in April.
Early this year, a contingent job themselves "Datuk Trio" expelled a video allegedly display Anwar intent in sex with a prostitute.
In an prolongation to a video, Papagomo expelled a ultimate snippet final week display "Anwar" entering a road residence lift with Shazryl. Shazryl is a single of contingent which expelled a sex video early this year.

Najib's final, personal warning to his Ministers
Watch out Tan Sri as well as Datuk Seris. Terrence's piece in The Malay Mail (Monday, 19 Sept)h e r ehas the chilling outcome which nothing of us feel though we know which some of the Ministers have not stopped wetting their pants. A Najib armed with those thick files on bungle as well as hurtful practices is lethal. As fatal as the PM who pronounced he would repeal the ISA.
Bukan Nasi Lemak 2.0, soalnya Namewee Fauziah Arof
21 SEPT Melihat reaksi orang ramai mengenai filem sulung arahan Namewee, Nasi Lemak 2.0 yang dikatakan mereka sebagai sebuah filem 'komedi sosial' yang baik lagi menghiburkan, ia tidak sedikit joke menarik minat saya untuk menonton filem tersebut.
Jika diberi tiket percuma pun, saya tidak mahu menonton filem ini, walaupun dibarisi oleh nama-nama selebriti handal yang saya kagumi seperti Afdlin Shauki, Datuk David Arumugam dan Adibah Noor, apatah lagi melanggannya di Astro First apabila filem itu habis ditayangkan kelak.
Sebabnya, bukan kerana filem Nasi Lemak 2.0. Tetapi kerana si pengarah dan penulis skripnya yang banyak mengguris hati rakyat Malaysia sebelum ini.
Tentu kita belum dapat melupakan lagi, pemuda yang berasal dari Johor ini pernah dengan lagu Negarakuku, memperlekeh negara dan menghina wanita Islam bertudung dan azan subuh.
Selepas itu, dia atau nama sebenarnya Wee Meng Chee buat hal lagi dengan menghina TNB dan dalam lagu bertajuk Kawanku menghina Melayu dengan lirik 'Melayu Balik Hutan Jadi Sakai'.
Dan ada lagi, dia membuat satu lagi klip video yang menghina Guru Besar dan Kementerian Pelajaran dengan perkataan-perkataan lucah.
Sekarang, Namewee melalui Nasi Lemak 2.0 pula menyifatkan, filem lakonannya itu adalah aspirasi 1 Malaysia, yang melambangkan penyatuan dan perpaduan kaum di negara ini.
Alahai, dia pula bercakap pasal 1Malaysia. Adakah anak muda ini sedar, bukankah perpaduan di negara ini dipupuk dengan cara kita menghormati setiap kaum yang ada. Bukan dengan menghina dan memperlekehkan sesuatu kaum dan negaranya seperti yang disiarkan di YouTube.
Namun 'perjalanan seni' anak muda ini boleh disifatkan luar biasa, kerana setelah apa yang dilakukannya, peliknya dia masih diberi peluang berjumpa seorang menteri, dan tiada tindakan yang diambil terhadapnya.
Dan dia yang banyak 'diberi muka' ini juga dengan yakinnya mahu berjumpa Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pula untuk menyokongnya berkarya atas nam! a 1 Mala ysia.
Siapa dia Namewee ini, apa keistimewaan dan kekebalannya? Jawapannya, lelaki ini telah menyakiti hati ramai orang terutamanya orang Melayu dan umat Islam di negara ini.
Seperti yang ditegaskan, saya tiada masalah dengan filem Nasi Lemak 2.0. Saya menyokong filem tempatan dan tidak kisah mengeluarkan wang menonton filem Melayu di pawagam.
Apabila memperkatakan tentang filem berunsurkan 1Malaysia, bukan filem Nasi Lemak 2.0 sahaja mempunyai aspirasi ini. Saya juga telah menonton filem Estet di pawagam.
Estet arahan Mamat Khalid ini menggabungkan kehidupan semua kaum di negara ini yang saling hormat-menghormati dan membantu antara satu sama lain dalam sebuah kampung.
Dan saudara Mamat kita ini, tidak heboh joke dengan mengangkat filem tersebut sebagai filem 1 Malaysia! Utusan Malaysia

Namewee from a Chinese perspective
It strikes me that Namewee expresses himself in a Chinese approach we will not confront from a likes of DAP 2.0's newly minted banking called theHasnah Yeop domestic coin.
By Helen Ang
Namewee is in a news again for his just expelled movie Nasi Lemak 2.0 as well as his reported attempt at removing a assembly with a budding minister. A debate magnet, Namewee has additionally at a same time attracted a expected brickbats as well as martial threats from a usual suspects.
Lyrics from a classical hit in that a lady sings about her adopted father: "Without heaven how can there be earth, though a land how can there be home, though home how can there be you, though we how can there be me "
Namewee's swat in Negarakuku recalls to me a little echoing difference in almost a same cadences:
(Translation: we adore my country, [only] when there is nation there is home, [only] when there is home there is me, now [standing] here singing song loudly to you)
It strikes me that Namewee e! xpresses himself in a Chinese approach we will not confront from a likes of DAP 2.0's newly minted banking called a Hasnah Yeop domestic coin.
It may warn we that in his controversialNegarakuku released in 2007, Namewee starts a swat by professing his adore for Malaysia to that he later adds a devious "this nation we like very much".
Namewee's ambivalence is genuine of a generally conflicted Chinese here rather than a one-dimensionality of a Firsters as well as their "I'm-more-Malaysian-than any a single else" chest thumping .
Embedded in a Chinese language as well as thus a ethos (remember, 'bahasa jiwa bangsa') is a judgment of jia (home), around that form a difference 'family' as well as 'country'.
Hannah Yeoh with her God-walks-with-me tweets fawned over by 30,000 faithful supporters is on a totally different craft from a Mandarin-and-Hokkien vocalization Namewee who pursued his tertiary preparation in Taiwan.
In fact, a Chinese school student incompetent to get a chair in local universities is a single of! Namewee 's grouses aired in Negarakuku.
Caring for a Chinese? Nah
Do note that a DAP does not take up a above type 'Chinese' issues.
Therefore it boggles a mind how a party's detractors (read:Utusan/Umno bloggers) still keep claiming that DAP favours a Chinese. In truth, a leaders favour whatever is advantageous for themselves initial as well as foremost. Whatever it takes for them to kee! p as wel l as expand their clout (power has gotten to their heads) so that they can go on to suffer a perks of office.
After all, in Penang that DAP controls, Lim Guan Eng takes so most pride in awarding bumiputera contractors 98 percent to 100 percent of a state tenders (quoting a arch minister's own boast).
Thus, rhetorically speaking, DAP should have no issues possibly if 98%-100% of local varsity places were to go to bumiputera.
So how can we design this Anak Malaysia-sloganeering celebration to membela nasib kami orang Cina when DAP is so plainly disrespectful of a Chinese ethnicity as well as at a same time so deceitfully eager to elevate a Malay race as well as religion in order to greatfully a main vote bank?
The onslaught of Umno, according to a founding principles, is to cure a Malay ('Hidup Melayu!'). The onslaught of PAS is for Islam since MCA as well as MIC have 'Chinese' as well as 'Indian' in their celebration names respectively. What values do a DAP mount for?
The mean as well as sparse DAP
It is a most maligned MCA instead that recently managed to pull off theUEC coup, a matter of university opening for holders of a Chinese school unified examination certificate that Namewee complained about in his swat as [previously] being treated with colour like a meaningles! s square of paper by a authorities, i.e. a gift accepted overseas though not recognized by Malaysia.
But is DAP happy with this UEC positive development? Nope!
As we know, DAP as well as friends aren't at all happy possibly with a announced repeal of a ISA a polite liberties new thing that they've been at great heedfulness to undermine.
The naysaying on both issues is f! or a s ame reason that it is their lame tactic to find fault with everything (see The Star, Sept 10) that competence just put Barisan in great stead with a people.
News that a ISA will be abolished is surely a relief. Yet it's been dismissed by a wet blankets with a same sick beauty a opposition treated with colour other Najib-driven reforms that have been trotted out.
The opposition cold water response as well as negative turn to a ISA rollback is nothing though petty. This mean spiritedness is not in a Chinese nature, merely a DAP 2.0s character.
New security laws to focus on terrorism, race and religion
But a de facto law apportion pledged which a dual brand brand new laws to replace a Internal Security Act (ISA) would not be as odious as a argumentative law being repealed.
He stressed which a dual deputy laws "cannot" be some-more odious in nature as a budding apportion had promis! ed meani ngful reforms to a country's surety laws.
The apportion pronounced which a single of a laws would plunge into terrorism whilst a second would privately understanding with defence public assent as well as order, as well as hold upon racial as well as eremite relations.

These are a dual safeguards," he told reporters after assembly with member from a Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia here this evening.Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced final Thursday a dissolution of a ISA, a three Emergency Declarations as well as also a need for annual printing as well as publishing permits when both Dewan Negara as well as Dewan Rakyat have their subsequent sitting.
The Umno president pronounced dual brand brand new laws would be enacted in place of a ISA to protect a peace, harmony as well as confidence of a nation though admitted which they were "risky though necessary for our survival."
Just days after Najib's announcement, resistance began to surface, with domestic hardliners like Perkasa's Datuk Ibrahim Ali calling upon a budding apportion to safety a spirit of a ISA in a dual brand brand new laws.
Those across a domestic order remained carefully optimistic of a reforms, expressing fears which a enactment of dual brand brand new laws meant a ISA was merely being repackaged.
Nazri, however, reminded Malaysians which both laws would still be theme to extensive parliamentary debates as well as open consultation prior to they are enacted.
He rubbished criticisms which a laws could be some-more odious than a ISA or which they would merely be a repackaging of a ISA, observant such statements were "ridiculous".
"If they are which odious as well as yet are passed in Parliament, then a opposition must be sleeping," pronounced a outspoken minister.
Nazri also revealed which a Attorney-General (A-G) is scheduled to brief a Cabinet tomorrow upon a extermination of a ISA as well as issues surrounding a dual brand brand new laws to be drafted.
He pronounced a laws should be ready to be tabled by a March Parliamentary sitting after a A-G gathers feedback as well as consults with all applicable stakeholders.
On proposals to dissolution as well as make serve amendments to alternative confidence as we! ll as pr ess laws in a country, Nazri expressed confidence which if a ISA, a "mother of all laws", could be repealed, a supervision would likely have no qualms doing a same to alternative pieces of legislation in a future.
The apportion also pronounced there was no need for a supervision to apologize or recompense former ISA detainees, insisting which they had been rightly detained.
"Anything which was finished in a past was finished according to a law.
"Similarly, if you decide a single day which it is no longer illegal to steal, should you then apologize or recompense all a thieves who were punished under a law in a past?" he reasoned.
Agenda hapus warisan, sejarah Nizam Yatim
21 SEPT Sudah terang lagi bersuluh. Walaupun tiada dokumen rasmi dengan tajuk 'Langkah-Langkah Untuk Menghapuskan Warisan Malaysia', namun tindak-tanduk pemimpin pembangkang sejak 'menang besar' pada Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) 2008 sudah cukup untuk menunjukkan apa yang bakal dilakukan jika memperoleh kuasa.
Jika ditakdirkan memerintah negara ini, mereka akan mengubah segala-galanya yang menjadi identiti kebangsaan Malaysia. Ini termasuk Perlembagaan Persekutuan; lambang utama negara seperti Jalur Gemilang, pemakaian songkok dan batik serta sejarah perjuangan menuntut kemerdekaan negara ini.
Tidak mustahil akan muncul juga 'idea gila' untuk menggantikan lagu Negaraku dan merobohkan bangunan Parlimen kerana dikatakan mempunyai hubungan secara langsung dengan Barisan Nasional (BN).
Perkiraan mereka cukup mudah. Apa sahaja yang didakwa mempunyai kaitan dengan Umno dan BN perlu dihapuskan tanpa menghiraukan hakikat bahawa perkara itu tidak sepatutnya dipolitikkan kerana ia telah ditetapkan dan dipersetujui semua kaum sejak merdeka.
Terbaru, melibatkan Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Kota Alam Shah daripada DAP, M. Manoharan yang menegaskan pihak pembangkang akan menukar Jalur Gemilang jika memperoleh kuasa pada PRU akan datang kerana ia mempunyai kaitan dengan BN dan meniru bendera Amerika Syarikat.
Peguam yang membuat kenyataan dalam laman sosial Facebook miliknya pada fifteen September lalu bertindak mengedarkan bendera parti politik untuk sambutan Hari Merdeka dan Hari Malaysia, sebagai ganti kepada bendera Malaysia yang ditentangnya itu.
Sebenarnya, Jalur Gemilang tiada kaitan dengan BN kerana ia dicipta dan dipilih oleh orang ramai menerusi satu pengundian yang dikelolakan oleh sebuah akhbar berbahasa Inggeris. Ia kemudiannya diwartakan dengan persetujuan Majlis Raja-Raja pada 1949, manakala gabungan parti komponen itu ditubuhkan pada 1974.
Pemimpin DAP yang aktif dalam pertubuhan haram, Hindraf itu sebenarnya tidak sunyi daripada kontroversi. Pa! da 2009, beliau telah meluahkan perasaan tidak gembira dengan syarat pemakaian songkok ketika istiadat pembukaan sidang Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Selangor.
Menurut beliau, syarat itu tidak perlu dipatuhi kerana orang bukan Melayu tidak diberikan status bumiputera dan masih dilayan sebagai kumpulan berbeza. Sehubungan itu, beliau menuntut kerajaan memberikan taraf bumiputera kepada bukan Melayu di negara ini yang lahir selepas 31 Ogos 1957.
Penentangan terhadap pemakaian songkok turut dikongsi oleh wakil rakyat DAP lain dan ia terbukti pada June tahun ini apabila twelve wakil rakyat parti itu tidak mengenakan pakaian rasmi dan songkok pada upacara pembukaan sidang DUN Sarawak Ke-17.
Dalam pada itu, Penasihat Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim lain pula kerenahnya. Ketika menyampaikan syarahan bertajuk Kebebasan dan Musuh-Musuhnya sempena Festival Salihara 2010 di Jakarta, Indonesia pada Oktober tahun lalu, telah menghina batik yang menjadi warisan negara. Beliau menyifatkan ia sebagai jelik sebab ciri-ciri keseniannya cukup rendah sehingga menyebabkan dirinya lebih gemar memakai batik Afrika.
Pada masa sama, pada awal tahun ini, kerajaan PKR Selangor telah mencuba untuk meminda Undang-Undang Tubuh Negeri Selangor 1959. Pindaan itu bertujuan memberikan kuasa kepada Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim melantik tiga pegawai eksekutif negeri termasuk Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri (SUK) dan memastikan Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah hanya memberi perkenan calon yang direstui kerajaan PKR sahaja.
Pengerusi Program Sains Politik Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), Dr. Azeem Fazwan Ahmad Farouk yang diminta mengulas direction itu menyifatkan ia sebagai membimbangkan kerana perkara-perkara yang telah dipersetujui bersama sejak merdeka sepatutnya tidak diubah.
"Perkara-perkara ini seharusnya tidak diubah. Mengapa mempersoalkan kedudukan sultan dan bendera kebangsaan?" katanya.
Tegas beliau, langkah itu membuktikan pihak pembangkang tidak! serius untuk mewujudkan sebuah kerajaan yang lebih baik berbanding kerajaan BN seperti yang dicanang-canangkan.
"Jika ingin mewujudkan kerajaan lebih baik pihak pembangkang seharusnya membangkitkan persoalan dasar dan bukannya mengenai perkara-perkara yang telah disepakati bersama," ujarnya.
Sementara itu, pihak PAS pula mempunyai perancangan lain iaitu bagi mengubah semula sejarah negara.
Ini terbukti dengan kenyataan Timbalan Presidennya, Mohamad Sabu ketika satu ceramah di Pulau Pinang, 21 Ogos lalu, yang mahu pengganas komunis, Muhammad Indera yang mengetuai serangan ke atas Balai Polis Bukit Kepong, Muar, Johor diiktiraf sebagai pejuang kemerdekaan. Dalam kejadian menyayatkan hati pada twenty-three Februari 1950, twenty-five orang termasuk ketua balai berkenaan, Sarjan Jamil Mohd. Shah terbunuh.
Pensyarah Kolej Undang-Undang, Kerajaan dan Pengajian Antarabangsa, Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Mohd. Na'eim Ajis menyifatkan kenyataan Mohamad itu hanya akan mewujudkan perbalahan dalam masyarakat. Menurut beliau, malah kini telah muncul dua kelompok iaitu yang menyokong dan membantah kenyataan beliau.
''Saya melihat golongan yang menyokong Mat Sabu hanya menerima bulat-bulat apa yang dikatakan oleh beliau tanpa membuat kajian terlebih dahulu tentang fakta sejarah sedia ada," katanya.
Selain gerakan untuk mengubah lambang rasmi dan sejarah negara, terdapat juga direction di kalangan pemimpin pembangkang untuk mengubah Perlembagaan Persekutuan, walaupun hasrat itu tidak diluahkan secara nyata kerana bimbang tidak mendapat sokongan orang Melayu.
Penasihat DAP, Lim Kit Siang ketika sesi Dewan Rakyat pada Ogos 2008 misalnya telah mempertikaikan mengapa isu ketuanan dan hak-hak Melayu diberi penekanan sejak kebelakangan ini berbanding perpaduan nasional. Isu terbabit sepatutnya tidak dibangkitkan oleh beliau kerana kedudukan hak-hak istimewa orang Melayu telah termaktub dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan.
Perkara lain yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan tertinggi n! egara it u yang sering dipertikaikan pihak pembangkang adalah mengenai tanah rizab Melayu, jaminan orang Melayu untuk mendapat lesen, assent dan kuota dalam perniagaan atau pendidikan serta keistimewaan mendapat biasiswa.
Segala tindak-tanduk yang ditunjukkan pemimpin pembangkang itu membuktikan jika mereka berkuasa, hak keistimewaan orang Melayu, budaya warisan bangsa, sejarah dan identiti Malaysia yang menjadi kebanggaan kita akan hilang. Utusan Malaysia

Change....What Change?
Even though you explain to have a two-coalition system (albeit not formally), a widespread coalition has shaped a domestic landscape to their advantage - roughly transforming a system in to a "single celebration in power" with a alternative coalition standing in a shadows as well as infrequently screaming for attention. The tendency is abuse comes in to a picture as well as a rakyat have been a greatest losers.
The inefficiency as well as miss of accountability of various departments leading to outlandish expenditures upon nonsensical items, both big as well as small, contingency be stopped. In a surrounded by have been some who have no qualms about grabbing whatever they can whilst they can since they can. Report any abuse of power! There is a lot which needs to be done. Those who have not been performing up to mark contingency not be re-elected! There is no two ways about it. We have to put in place estimable leader to have which shift happen.
Many of us hold which voting for a Opposition is a approach to move about change. That is just a starting point. If a Opposition has a interests of all during heart, you goal which their e! lection machinery is all oiled as well as cranked up for immediate action which can occur any time. Instead of a usual mud-slinging, a Opposition contingency assistance to restore respect to politics.
While writing this post, you was chatting with Antares via Skype. He said:
The great headlines is which you do not have to humour all those disastrous traits many longer since any of us has a opportunity to shift a complete domestic discourse if you wish to. Each of us could indirectly shift a approach which supervision functions as well as a approach a discussion progresses. Being rarely continuous via a net as well as telephony systems, you have turn rarely amicable beings who can be improved rebuilt to lead/change a world. It is up to us to be part of which wheel of shift which is spinning.
A few days ago, RPK wrote a timely proposal in his post called "Can We Look At This Instead, A Bill of Rights?"We need such proposals to rivet a election possibilities in a sharp-witted discuss as well as exam out a waters to see who is a a single who can deliver those needs.
In a next GE, campaign speeches can no longer take a same theme, content or style similar to in a past. This is a some-more educated as well as enlightened electorate who should ideally know what they wish as well as opinion a right candidate in to place. Change can usually come a Opposition can suggest possibilities of calibre who can govern plans as well as follow by these to move about change. Without sounding cliched, they contingency do some-more than just travel a walk. And they should have already handpicked a candidates, rebuilt a funds as well as election declaration as well as paraphernalia.
Some say governing body is a "art of a possible." That being a case, shift can usually come if you put in to place leaders who can practice a domestic! art tho ugh offered their souls to a devil.
Change can be effected if you elect possibilities who can grasp a many for a usual great which they contingency assimilate thoroughly!
We wish leaders who attend to others, generally a rakyat as well as to discuss it us nothing though a truth. They contingency be wooer to confess their failings as well as sense from their mistakes. Change can come if a leaders do not waste their time merely demonizing their critics as well as opponents though doing many or worse still, turn similar to them when they have been in seats of power.
We wish leaders who can concede their philosophy inside of excusable limits, though betraying their consciences, in sequence to grasp a best for a most, as they assimilate a best to be, in team-work with their domestic opponents. We wish people capable of changing their mind! s as well as ad mitting their errors. And you wish leaders who do not find "all or nothing" in ideological battles which no a single wins as well as which furnish countless casualties. In a word, you wish giveaway human beings to lead us, not ideologues or demagogues.
Change can usually come if you see election possibilities who exclude to be trapped by power, profit, possession, position, payoff as well as pleasure. Before perfectionist anything from others, they should be means to demand it of themselves as well as to do for others what they would wish others to do for them as well as their desired ones.
For a next GE, you unequivocally goal which there will not be any outrageously costly as well as forever analyzed campaigns which empty us of a patience as well as sanity.
The rakyat as well as politicians comparison contingency be very transparent about what arrange of shift you wish to see in a country. Let us move beyond 'Kick BN Out' or Change is Imperative. Let us list out a concerns as well as see how these can be changed for a better.
What is everybody of us doing now to have which shift happen? Are you promulgatio! n out em ails or engaging a friends in forums/social networking media/dinners etc? Are you volunteering a services as well as talents to a celebration you await so which they can call upon us to assistance during a campaign period?
Are you jotting down a concerns as well as voicing these via a right channels?
There is so many to be finished as well as you cannot be armchair critics. Yes, shift is needed as well as you have to have it occur though once it does, other changes contingency be put in to place similar to clockwork. So you sincerely goal which a Opposition have been well-prepared by now with their election declaration as well as not to haggle or disagree though to work cohesively to have which dream happen.
170,818 voters come from unknown birthplace
PAS Youth reveals some-more discrepancies in a Election Commission's electoral roll.
PETALING JAYA: Some 170,818 electorate whose bieing born place is different have been purebred as voters, PAS Youth claimed today.
Johor PAS Youth arch Suhaizan Kaiat suggested a electorate were purebred under nation formula "71" of a Election Commission's second entertain breeze roll. This equates to that their nation of start is unknown.
But Suhaizan forked out that in a National Registration Department (NRD) list, "71" was not an official code.
As a result, there are doubts about a birthplace of a 170,818 electorate who have been purebred as eligible electorate for a entrance ubiquitous election.
"Why is formula 71 still being used when a EC itself has indicated there is a particular formula for each nation in a world?" asked Suhaizan.
He cited a case of Mismah, an Indonesian, whose status was upgraded from permanent proprietor to Malaysian citizen in four hours.
"Mismah's formula was ostensible to be '61 to prove she is from Indonesia. But instead, formula '71 was used," Suhaizan pronounced in a statement.
The "Mismahgate", as it came to be well well known in news reports, saw a EC come under complicated criticism.
Suhaizan additionally pronounced a series of purebred electorate from different nation of start was higher in Pakatan Rakyat-held states (including Perak as well as a Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory), totalling a little 97,923 or 57.32%.

While Tan might have been softly reproachful of Zaid's conduct, Malacca state chief, Colonel Hashim Putih, bloody him outright.
Zaid's arrogance
He pronounced which a sacking of a 3 was in poor ambience as no reasons were since for their exclusion either to a celebration care or even to a contingent themselves.
"They should have been since a possibility to defend themselves," he said. "The preference is astray to them as well as to celebration members who have been in a dark over a sacking. But this is loyal of his persecution style as well as non-compliance with a celebration constitution."
Hashim additionally admitted which "shortcuts" were taken to register a Malacca bend with a Registrar of Societies.
Meanwhile, his secretary-general, Yahya Mohd Idris, bemoaned Zaid's "hasty as well as drastic" decisions over "trivial issues" as well as agreed which Zaid's audacity had expel a shadow over a celebration which was still upon a brink of development.
"He expelled a news to a media before even informing a celebration care which he shouldn't have done," combined Yahya, which confirmed Firdaus' earlier explain which he had found out about his sacking by media reports.
This sentiment was loudly echoed by Negeri Sembilan state chief, R Sri Sanjeevan, who forked out which they should have been shown due apply oneself as state chiefs by being i! nformed ahead of a media.
He pronounced he shocked during a reasons for a dismissal, especially over a website password, as well as called it "extremely childish".Sanjeevan, however, declined to comment upon a other allegations observant which it wouldn't be fair as he had conjunction experienced nor heard it initial hand.

Clarification on Lynas Radiation Statements
Following a post Understanding a Lynas Rare Earth Plant in thirteen Questions, which featured answers by Dr. Lee Chee Hong, Chemical Engineering Expert upon Metals, LoyarBurokker Eric Choo sought a views of Nick Tsurikov.
Mr Tsurikov is an expert in Mining Radiation Hazards. He is a director of Calytrix Consulting Pty Ltd which provides recommendation upon a government of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM). Many of his replies relating to NORM can be obtained from his website. He does not work for Lynas Corporation though he has been independently advising Lynas upon a government of deviation insurance issues. He had upon 29 August 2011 wrote a letter to reply to a technical comments done by YB Fuziah Salleh upon TV PAS upon issues relating to Lynas. More info of Nick can be obtained here. He is additionally a part of of a Western Australia Radiation Council.
His response to Eric is reproduced below:
My apologies for a delay in replying we will try to answer a questions as well as comment upon a answers below. Questions from 1 to 9 we cannot answer they have been not applicable to deviation protection, Questions 10-13 we will.
Question 10
The points in a answer have been in all correct. It is, however, critical to note two things: a radon generated in a spoil of thorium is different to a a single generated in spoil of uranium (I will residence this below) as well as it is not 'introduced' by Lynas a natural credentials in Malaysia in accordance with United Nations Scientific Committee upon Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) [Table 24 of a Annex B of a 2000 Report to a UN General Assembly] specifies in which a credentials turn of radon in Malaysia is 14 Becquerels per cubic met! er.
Which means which in any cubic scale of air inside your home, your workplace, in a restaurant, etc fourteen atoms of radon break up each second, producing hot lead.
Question 11
The points in a answer have been in all scold as well. Important thing to note, however, is which a wet(!) material will be transported in double-layered plastic bags which have been placed inside containers, so there will be no spillage of any kind. Theoretically, radioactivity may be rescued in plant stacks (chimneys) as well as in a waste H2O it has been, however, scientifically proven which a concentrations of hot materials would be utterly close to undetectable levels in a stack as well as a limit set by AELB for a waste H2O is of a same order as World Health Organisation sets for a drinking(!) water.
In fact, of march we can detect deviation everywhere; a main indicate which it is not expected which there will be any quantifiable increase in a credentials levels due to a operation of a plant.
Question 12
The first indicate is in all scold there will be no outmost (gamma) deviation detectable during a stretch of 100 meters from a plant, in actuality substantially not even during a 40-50 scale distance.
The second indicate (about radon as well as lead travelling hundreds of kilometers as well as being in all 'deadly'). The hapless blunder was done here most likely due to requesting a criteria for uranium spoil products to thorium spoil products. we do assimilate which a answer is not wholly befitting to a subject "I'm usually a layman, we review a paper we saw a news, though we want to know more", however there is simply no other way though to get a little bit in to a 'scientific side', creation it as easy to assimilate as possible.
As we all know, there will be some very minimal amount of uranium present in a combine (but not some-more than in ilmenite as well as about 6-7 times reduction than in zircon which h! ave been common parts of tin/amang concentrate), as well as as everybody says a emanate is with thorium. Now, if we compare a spoil products of uranium as well as thorium, namely radon as well as lead: Uranium-238: Radon (Rn-222), half-life=3.8 days ebbing in to Lead (Pb-210), half-life=22 years Thorium-232: Radon (Rn-220), half-life=56 seconds ebbing in to Lead (Pb-212), half-life=11 hours.
Clearly, a statements in a answer to Q12 appear to be some-more or reduction correct, though usually for radon as well as lead generated by a spoil of uranium. It is obvious from a some-more aged upon top of which if any radon is emitted from any materials upon site (thorium) a concentration will be half of a strange a single in reduction than a minute.
And if we assume, for example, which a breeze is blowing during a velocity of 5 meters per second, this will occur during a stretch of about 300 meters from a 'source'. Naturally, during a stretch of, say, 3 kilometers (where a nearest houses are, as we understand) it will be reduction than a single tenth of a strange thus flattering most 'unmeasurable' as well as 'undetectable' during distances over 1 kilometer.
Now to lead. Even if any lead from thorium (Pb-212) will be carried out anywhere as well as be rescued (unlikely, though contend it can be) it is critical to note that:
(a) in 24 hours there will be usually about 20% of a strange left; as well as (b) is is most reduction harmful than a a single from uranium (Pb-210). There have been determined sip coefficients for a transformation of both Pb-212 as well as Pb-210, as well as Pb-212 (from thorium) is three times reduction dangerous than Pb-210 (from uranium).
Therefore, a statements about radon as well as lead 'getting in to food chain', 'released inside a body' as well as causing 'very critical consequences' have been obviously incorrect.
It will be very most appreciated if this information is prepared anywhere where it was published.
Question 13
The answer to a Q12 upon top of as well as a lot of information presented on my website clearly uncover which "it is safe". Of course, no a single has reported a consequences of consuming hot materials as, even if there will be any in theory, any increase in a credentials levels will be undetectable as well as increase in people's bearing to deviation unmeasurable.
And, lastly, any one should confirm for him/herself to whom they should listen to. we determine to this, of course.
If I've done any mistakes upon top of or missed something please let me know.
Kind regards
Nick Tsurikov
