Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011: Unconstitutional and anti-democratic Tommy Thomas
Why is it always the box which the Malaysian government, in the guise of improving the freedoms of the citizen, enacts laws which essentially eat away liberties?
Since 1960 when the Emergency was revoked, only to be immediately transposed by the dreaded Internal Security Act, 1960 ("ISA"), unbroken governments have taken state movement to the wreckage of the people. The Peaceful Assembly Bill, 2011, which had the initial reading in the Federal Parliament yesterday, is an additional e.g. of such retrograde law making.
I cannot hold which after 54 years of Merdeka in the 11th year of the ! 21st cen tury, the Executive has the insolence to present the Bill, which, in the own Explanatory Statement, describes it as "one of the efforts instituted by the supervision to commence the mutation of the existent authorised framework in relation to the inherent rights of adults to assemble".
Fundamental liberties have been enshrined in Part II of the Federal Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Article 10(1)(b) of the Federal Constitution provides which "all adults have the right to arrange peacefully as well as without arms".
Freedom to arrange is not absolute; thus, the Federal Parliament might enact laws which have the outcome of restricting such leisure in the interest of "security" or "public order". Case law has established which such Parliamentary limitation must be "reasonable" by objective standards.
Thus, Parliament cannot suffocate the enjoyment of such liberties. Freedom of public is invariably exercised together with alternative elemental liberties similar to personal liberty (Article 5 (1)); leisure of transformation (Article 9(2)); leisure of countenance (Article 10(1)(a); leisure of association (Article 10(1)(c); leisure of sacrament (Article 11) as well as so forth.
In maybe the most important inherent box in the history, the five-member Federal Court ! in 1992 in the Nordin Salleh case, hold which any state movement which would describe illusory or incomprehensible the practice of any elemental liberty is unconstitutional. Hence, the Court looks during the outcome or effect of state action.
It is opposite this credentials of constitutionalism, which the Peaceful Assembly Bill, 2011 must be scrutinised.
My initial reservation is philosophical. The Bill introduces the concept of "interests, rights as well as freedoms of alternative persons", with the military having to import such interests, rights as well as freedoms with which of the persons who wish to assemble.
Hence, the elemental strife in between Executive as well as adult which characterises the almighty struggle for polite liberty has been lengthened to embody the rights of alternative people the classic prolongation of the single of the oldest doctrines in governing body : sequence as well as rule.
In my opinion, the law which is dictated to foster the practice by adult A as well as his friends of their right to arrange should not in any approach be dependent upon the right of adult X as well as his friends to intent or halt the former's right to assemble.
The elemental freedoms underneath Part II of the Constitution do not contemplate such clashes in between different groups of adults which would unavoidable rise into the competition in between majority as well as minority, with the minority always being the casualty.
Accordingly, all references to "the interests, rights as well as freedoms of alternative persons" in the Bill are, in my opinion, without any inherent basis. The same indicate can be made about the make use of of brand new expressions similar to "counter assembly" as well as "simultaneous assemblies".
Hence, the Parliamentary draftsman is deliberately giving energy to the military to impose difficult restrictions as well as conditions underneath Paragraph 15 of the Bill which would have the outcome of completely nullifying any leisure to ass! emble.
The Bill introduces the brand new type of public which I hold is rare underneath the law, viz "street protest", which is tangible in Paragraph 3 to mean: "an open air public which starts with the meeting during the specified place as well as consists of upon foot in the mass march or convene for the role of objecting to or advancing the sold means or causes".
Paragraph 4(1) of the Bill imposes an outright ban upon street protests. The current position is which if the military emanate the license underneath Section twenty-seven (2) of the Police Act, 1967, the "street protest" is permitted. Hence, the brand new provision in this "reforming" Bill make it worse by all banning such types of assemblies.
This would be unconstitutional. Does this mean that, underneath this Bill! , only the ssemblies which have been not "street protest" have been permitted? Yes.
What then have been the facilities of such the available or sanitised form of "assembly"?
Part IV contains 11 separate supplies which mention the mandate prior to the military would authorize the land of such an assembly.
To start off, created notice of during slightest 30 days must be since to the police. Hence, spontaneous gatherings have been not permitted. The First Schedule to the Bill contains 12 categories of "prohibited places", 50 meters from where assemblies cannot be held.
The Bill is so extensive in the reach, indeed, of Orwellian proportions, which every day trusting activities similar to funerals, weddings, family gatherings as well as meetings of associations have to be expressly excluded! The most appropriate approach to exam the efficiency of the Bill is to ask whether the assemblies organised by Bersih (1) or Hindraf prior to the General Election of 2008 would be available underneath the Bill.
The answer is obviously in the negative since they would be deemed "street protest", as well as as the result banned. Likewise, the lawyers march to Putrajaya in 2007 to criticism opposite ! the VK L ingam tape. Finally, Bersih (2) in Jul 2011 would additionally not be permitted.
And, yet, this Bill is presented by the supervision as the piece of reforming law to enhance political space! Try as the single may, the single cannot find any redeeming facilities in the Bill. ! On the c ontrary, the supplies have been offensive, as well as will certainly not pass muster.
How in the name of "security" as well as "public order" this Bill can be enacted by Parliament is positively baffling. Are the leaders so out of touch? Can they ever discuss it the truth?
Are they wakeful of "Occupy Wall Street" as the global criticism movement? What about the Arab Spring? Even sleepy, lifeless Singapore has had the little kind of political awakening this year.
But let me conclude with the own e.g. from history. Some 65 years ago, only the year after the Second World War had ended, as well as the British colonial energy had returned to Malaya, they had the temerity to deliver the Malayan Union plan i! n 1946.
"Street protests" as tangible in Paragraph 3 of the Peaceful Assembly Bill, 2011, became the sequence of the day. Indeed, Umno was founded by Onn Jaafar to lead the protests opposite Malayan Union.
The supremely ironic question is, if Hishammuddin Hussein had been in assign of such matters in 1946, would Umno have been founded, as well as his grandfather authorised to denote as well as protest?
I call upon all freedom-loving Malaysians to immediately contact their Members of Parliament to opinion opposite this terrible Bill. Indeed, the supervision should repel it.
I would expect the Malaysian Bar to lead the opposition to this poorly designed law which is not only an insult to the inherent rights, though additionally to the intelligence.

Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011: Unconstitutional and anti-democratic
Catch 22 in medical treatment for drug addiction
DAP threatens to sic PAC, Auditor-General on KLIA2
BNs disgusting international standards
REMEMBER how Tan Sri Robert Phang was ousted as an advisory row part of of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission?
Phang was the single of the pioneer members of the row upon the formation of the MACC. However, his outspokenness has been the thorn in the strength of those who step the corridors of power.Unlike the majority of the "Yes Men" MACC row members who chose to accept their appointment, but remained mute throughout their tenure, Phang spoke up opposite crime as well as abuse of power.
He open ly took upon the likes of Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz, former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan (for alleged abuse of energy as well as swindling with the underworld), as well as those who benefitted from the multi-billion ringgit Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) financial scandal.
Phang's ouster in the MACC row was sparked when he took upon the almighty Attorney-General (A-G) Tan Sri Gani Patail.
Ruthlessly pushed out
That was too much for Phang to gnaw as Gani's bureau could decide either to prosecute an accused, with or but evidence; with authentic or built evidence as the Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's Sodomy we as well as II hearings have revealed thus far.
And all Phang did was to call upon Gani to rebut allegations joining him to high-profile but untrustworthy corporate figures who allegedly paid for his haj or pilgrimage trip. The allegations were backed by documents.
Of march there were many other allegations opposite th! e A-G bu t the documentary evidence posted in the open electronic domain was only too annoying as well as overwhelming.
So what happened?
Gani ordered the examine upon allegations of corruption, posted ANONYMOUSLY in the blog, that in the future led to nowhere as well as Phang was privileged by the MACC.
Phang had voluntary give up as the MACC row part of to promote the investigations opposite him as well as to uphold the firmness of the MACC.
After Phang was cleared, he was not reappointed to the MACC panel.
But Phang showed them
Boring? Hold your horses man! Read upon as well as we can assure we that it is apropos both comical as well as disgusting.
What we find many comical is the actuality that Phang was recently the target of the Socially Responsible Company (SRC) Awards 2011's Master Class Awards in Anti-Corruption.
So what's the big deal, we may ask?
Well, the SRC 2011 Awards are authorised by:
> The United Nations;
> The United Nations Global Impact; and
> Audited by McMillan Woods.
And, now for the most appropriate laugh! The award presentation, organised by JCI Malaysia as well as hosted by JCI E-Metro KL, was upheld by:
> Malaysia's Prime Minister's Department;
> Malaysia's Youth as well as Sports Ministry; and
> Malaysia's Human Resources Department.
Twisted logic
The Barisan Nasional supervision certain has the droll approach of recognising general achievers. It kicks them out of bureau when they begin behaving with general standards.
Phang improved watch his subsequent step as well as not be too gay with the UN-recognition or the BN supervision wi! ll begin treating him similar to the open pariah.
Wha! t am we articulate about? Look how the BN supervision is treating former Bar Council president as well as Bersih 2 leader Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan.
For those suffering from amnesia (especially those from Umno-BN), U.S. first lady Michelle Obama as well as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton awarded Ambiga the Secretary of State's Award for International Women of Courage during the US State Department upon March 11, 2009 in Washington, DC.
The awards were since to 8 women from around the world who have shown care whilst struggling for social justice as well as tellurian rights.
There we have it, Malaysians. The BN supervision certain have strange ways to reward or recognise talent as well as general achievers.
Protecting cow breeders who make use of open funds allocated for beef production to buy multi-million-ringgit condominiums seems to be the Umno-BN general standard as well as benchmark for autarchic achievers.

Conceding one steps but moves 2 forward!
While we welcome a Peaceful Assembly Bill tabled in a Prliament, we was unhappy with a most restrictions in a Bill, which would diminish leisure of open even more than before.
The most critical flaw is of march disallowing street protests. Street protests do not meant riots or chaos. It can be really orderly as seen so often overseas in most of a democratic countries. People can criticism anything they do not feel comfortable. It is up to a military as well as a management to promote such protests as well as have sure which a disruption to street traffic is minimal.
I agree which a management needs to be sensitive in box of a protest, not since any permission is indispensable , yet mainly to have sure which a management takes stairs to promote such protests. Notice however, should be just hours in allege as well as not days. we am sure if a military force is efficient, it can simply pattern a few policemen to assistance in a routine of ensuring smooth conduct of such protets.
Sometimes need to criticism arises within short notice, such as sure enlarge of sure food prices, as well as asking a protesters to surprise a military 30 days ahead makes no sense during all.
There have been just as well most restrictions in a brand brand brand new Bill, as well as this actually undermines what was promised by a PM a little time behind which leisure of open would be respected.
This has fast turn a normal here. It has also turn obvious which this might be a classical Sunzi's plan (ome called him Sun TZu) : surrender one step when resistance seems clever , yet pierce 2 stairs brazen when everything quiets down.

The Edge Financial Daily reported yesterday which a price of a brand new mislaid conduit terminal, dubbed KLIA2, is speculated to have increasing significantly over a original estimate of RM2 to 2.5 billion.
The report additionally quoted MAHB officials as saying which one more price would not immediately meant aloft airfield fees as these were regulated by a Transport Ministry as well as MAHB could recoup a costs from non-aeronautical revenues such as airfield retail.
The central additionally pronounced a airfield charges have been not formed upon a price of office building a airfield as well as which a lapse upon investment (ROI) for KLIA2 is formed solely upon non-aeronautical income.

"They haven't admitted a price of a depot (KLIA2) or delivery," he added. "But to contend which a price of a depot creates no difference to airlines as well as passengers is a joke."
Requests for criticism sent to MAHB did not elicit a response by a time of publicati! on.
< p>MAHB's main shareholder Khazanah Nasional Berhad is additionally a biggest shareholder in flag conduit Malaysia Airlines, where Fernandes' Tune Air has a 20.5 per cent stake.The Transport Ministry not long ago gave a green light for MAHB to raise airfield tax by RM14 during most of a international airports as well as by RM7 per international passenger during a existing low price conduit depot (LCCT) during KLIA.
Aircraft alighting as well as parking charges will rise by nine as well as 18 per cent respectively! over th ree years.
Fernandes as well as MAHB had battled over a lack of genius during a stream LCCT, as well as a AirAsia arch had mooted office building a in isolation depot in nearby Labu, Negri Sembilan due to his frustrations with a airfield operator.
MAHB, however, assured a government to disallow a Labu proposal as well as to opt for KLIA2 instead.

Paper Castles In The Air
According to Oxford Business Group's (OBG) informal editor, Paulius Kucinas (at this link), Sarawak remained an attractive destination for capital investments as it rode upon a constructional climb for commodities worldwide. At a launch of The Report: Sarawak 2011, he pronounced which it provides in-depth detail upon Sarawak' current mercantile outlook as well as what a destiny binds for a state.
The central Oxford Business Group site states which a inform for Malaysia can be purchased during a price of 130 pounds for a printed book or 104 pounds for a digital book which have been accessible as shortly as remuneration clears whilst print copies have been shipped within twenty-four hours upon business days. To embrace a Economic Updates for a report, go to 'My Subscriptions'.
One obscure fact yet - Cost of a inform for Sarawak is 104 pounds but it is not settled as to either it is a printed book or a digital one.
For a inform upon Malaysia, one can opt to squeeze particular chapters upon Country Profile, Politics, Economy as well as Banking. For some-more inform about a launching of a inform in West Malaysia, check out THIS LINK.
I am not going to raise issues which have been comprehensively lonesome by Sarawak Report HERE(a contingency read for everyone!).
1. Why is a announcement as well as essay of such reports given to abroad edition houses? Surely a manage to buy does not need some-more outflow of income for work which can be done by internal edition houses as well as writers!
2. Presumably, it contingency be quite expensive to have consecrated such reports. If in truth a goal is to give prospective investors some-more opportunities to find some-more about Malaysia, certainly a internal announcement would have ensured cheaper publications with improved as well as some-more present data.
3. Working upon a assumption which they wanted improved peculiarity essay for a reports to elevate their status, cruise a following sentence taken from HERE as well as pull your own conclusions about a peculiarity of writing. Do take note of a tools we highlighted in bold font as well as underscored:
So have been they profitable for peculiarity writing? You be a judge!Endowed with supernatural natural resources, together with rubber, palm oil and oil and gas, Malaysia has stretched into manufacturing, services and tourism, and is seeking to pierce serve up a value sequence in industrial production.
The pass to a inform upon Sarawak was written some-more stylishly. Check HERE. Excerpt:
Sarawak shares a island of Borneo with a Malaysian state of Sabah, a sultanate of Brunei Darussalam, as well as a Indones! ian prov inces of Kalimantan. Its 2.4m people have been considered a most different of all Malaysian states, with a brew of indigenous Christian Ibans, Chinese, Muslim Malays, as well as most alternative racial as well as eremite groups. The state's arch minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud, of a National Front celebration defended his hold upon energy by winning re-election in 2011, notwithstanding a clever showing by a opposition Democratic Action Party. Sarawak's mercantile growth has prolonged depended upon a 3 pass pillars of oil as well as gas, wanton palm oil, as well as joist exports. A host of brand new sectors have been set to embrace a boost, however, underneath a Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), which aims to rise a state's central region. SCORE will feat Sarawak's 20,000 MW of hydroelectric potential, using this energy to rise industries in metallurgy, aquaculture, food processing, inform technology, as well as downstream palm oil as well as joist products.
4. Perhaps a authorities endangered can respond to a following excerpts taken from Sarawak Report:
The London HQ advertised upon a company's website is in fact an bureau rental centre, where rooms can be let upon demand. We were sensitive which a Oxford Business Group no longer has bureau space in a building, although "they sometimes still come in as well as out" .
Did they check out a background of a association to see if they have been legit set-ups or dodgy shady outfits?However, a Editorial Director of these reports is nothing alternative than a former Editor of a UK's most ridiculed porn rag, a Daily Sport, which closed earlier this year.
5. Can a authorities endangered insist either a funding for these reports have been from taxpayers' money?
How much did a whole understanding cost? What is a fact for profitable for such lavish embellishment of contribution as well as window dressing of a mercantile state?
6. I! f in tru th a ETP can renovate as well as three times a gross inhabitant income as well as make a nation part of a grown world by 2020, because then is there a need to outlay $ $ $ unnecessarily to prop up their open picture as well as blow their own trumpets which receptive to advice weak as well as handicapped during a moment?
7. Recently, S JAYASANKARAN of Singapore Business Times wrote a stinging essay which said:
The Auditor-General's new inform forked out which Malaysia's inhabitant debt rose 12.3 per cent to over RM407 billion (S$ 165 billion) in 2010. The amount is homogeneous to 53.1 per cent of gross made during home product. It's a second true year which a inhabitant debt has exceeded 50 per cent.The figure is a reflection of a spending spree a nation went upon to lessen a effects of a 2009 tellurian monetary crisis. At its peak which year, a bill deficit rose to 7.6 per cent of GDP, a top in two decades.It has given come down to 5.4 per cent of GDP as well as a supervision projects which it will decline serve to 4.7 per cent of GDP subsequent year. But which might be overly optimistic.Everyone knows because a debt has piled up: persistently high bill deficits over 14 years. But it is a gait of a climb that's alarming. Standout statistic: in a space of 6 years, sum federal supervision debt has actually doubled from 2004. That way lies folly.Malaysia's debt in front of is tighten to breaching legislative levels set a prolonged time ago by Parliament. According to a Auditor-General's report, open debt from made during home sources rose RM41.76 billion to RM390.36 billion final year, whilst loans from unfamiliar sources rose to! RM16.75 billion, or up RM2.96 billion.With such statistics, because have been a authorities profitable by their nose for such unwarranted window dressing?
Shouldn't a $ $ $ outlayed have been invested in alternative worthwhile projects which would DIRECTLY benefit a citizens but causing an outflow of income from this country?
Most alarmingly, S. Jayasankaran also pronounced which according to a country's central bank, a inhabitant debt as during Jun 30, 2011 has risen to RM437 billion, with made during home debt amounting to RM421 billion as well as unfamiliar debt during RM16 billion. He pronounced which subsequent year, it's estimated which a debt will crack RM455 billion - roughly 54 per cent of GDP.
So is there any fact or rationale for bureau office office building such paper castles in a air which could be simply blown away in any direction? And we have to compensate for these 'props' which have been ostensible to give them a duration feel great sensation? Good heavens!
Come to think of it, isn't this how a income is drifting away? In any citation according to a whims as well as fancies of some? - master worsmith

Is it just the economy, stupid?
Yes, I'm articulate about polite liberties stuff. You know, giveaway speech, tellurian rights, separation of powers as good as all which great things which polite multitude cares about. In the past, this was border stuff, generally when compared to the economy. But as multitude progresses as good as matures, this is exactly the kind of things which matters. The supposed "rice bowl" is not the be all as good as finish all any more.
Oon Yeoh, The Sun Daily
THERE have been so most factors which will establish which bloc Barisan Nasional (BN) or Pakatan Rakyat (PR) will win the next general election.
I cruise everyone, including antithesis supporters, determine which it will be tough going for PR to win because of the East Malaysia factor. It's not for nothing which Sabah as good as Sarawak have been called BN's "fixed deposit".
Barring the miracle, it's rarely doubtful which we will see any poignant East Malaysian pitch to PR in the general election. However, if PR manages to win enough seats in Peninsular Malaysia to win the simple majority (or tighten to it), we have been likely to see East Malaysia parties switching sides. This is not to contend East Malaysian politicians lean easily, but rather which they have been extremely pragmatic.
So, if BN were to remove the peninsula in the large way, it could unequivocally good find the bound deposition slipping divided after the polls. I'm certain BN's political analysts as good as strategists recognize this, which is why the quarrel for votes in the peninsula is so important.
The manage to buy is the large factor. That's the case everywhere we go, not usually in Malaysia. Remember US President Bill Clinton's famous phrase, "It's the economy, stupid!"? But there's additionally an additional cause that's increasingly important, generally amongst th! e urban folk as good as most particularly amongst the young. And it's the kind of things which BN traditionally doesn't measure unequivocally good in.
Yes, I'm articulate about polite liberties stuff. You know, giveaway speech, tellurian rights, separation of powers as good as all which great st! uff which polite multitude cares about. In the past, this was border stuff, generally when compared to the economy. But as multitude progresses as good as matures, this is exactly the kind of things which matters. The supposed "rice bowl" is not the be all as good as finish all any more. People do start caring about the environment, about transparency, leisure of information as good as so on.
The bearing the internet affords today's girl plays the large purpose here. Where in the past, the categorical sources of information were TV, radio as good as newspapers, these days people usually go online for alternate viewpoints.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak not long ago said winnable possibilities have been those who have been supposed by the brand brand brand brand new generation. He went as far as to contend which this would be the wilful cause in the next general election.
For the part, Umno Youth denounced the brand brand brand brand new slogan: "BN pilihan orang muda (BN, the choice of the young)." "All our efforts will be focused upon which slogan. We want to show immature Malaysian voters which the choice is in their hands, as good as what BN has to offer," the arch Khairy Jamaluddin said.
If it is unequivocally loyal which the choosing will be motionless by the supposed "new generation", the budding minister would do good to cruise either the assorted issues which this segment of multitude cares about have been best championed by BN or PR.
When Najib initial became budding minister, he made all the right moves. He took walkabouts as good as mingled with the public. His 1Malaysia aphorism told people he longed for the joined country, as good as his acknowledgement ! which th e days of "government knows best" have been over gave people hope which his administration department would be reduction paternalistic.
If I were Najib's political adviser, I would tell him not to rely usually upon the warm as good as fuzzy feedback he gets from the people he meets upon his walkabouts or at tea parties for his Twitter followers as good as Facebook fans. Well-wishers in such situations have been not going to give brutally honest feedback.
Rather, I would commission the open opinion survey as good as ask folks either they cruise secular polarisation is still the complaint or either they feel people have been some-more joined than ever before. It's additionally worth asking if people feel the government is adequately catering to their idealistic aspirations for the some-more polite society.
It competence be the economy, stupid, but like it or not, these have been the kinds of things which the brand brand brand brand new era cares about. And they're the kind of things which help win elections in this day as good as age, the manage to buy notwithstanding.

Shahrizat's Cowgate refuses to go away
Written by Nawawi Mohamad, Malaysia Chronicle
Many have been wondering why UMNO Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin was a usually a single who attempted his many appropriate to urge a disaster done by a Shahrizat Jalil family over a RM250million Gemas-NFC debacle. His zealous effort was usually dampened when a "cows" bought not usually a single as initially reported though dual condos. This was admitted by Dr. Mohamed Salleh Ismail, a NFC boss as well as Shahrizat's husband.
By afterwards it was simply silly for Khairy to open his shrill mouth further, he didn't realize it until he saw a smiles upon a faces of his 'friends'. He may have been all mortified afterwards, though a law is everybody makes foolish justifications; even a smartest people in a universe have reticent decisions. The many appropriate partial is: a smarter they consider they are, a harder they have you laugh.
Ulterior motives
Yet, when Khairy Jamaludin shielded it, he was not trying to be smart; he was being greedy in presumably trying to protect himself from a repercussions of a Shahrizat fallout as well as additionally being protecting of his father-in-law. How come? Because it was during Abdullah Badawi's term as premier that a whole money-making scheme was hatched as well as implemented.
Khairy was afterwards a head of a fourth-floor goons; where a thought could! have be en promoted by him after a Ministry of Agriculture afterwards headed by Muhyiddin Yassin envisioned it. Badawi was afterwards trying to variegate a economy by transforming agriculture in to genuine business, to illustrate a slogan "Pertanian itu Perniagaan" or Farming is Business sprang up upon a billboards all over a country. One could safely assume this was Khairy's brainchild. No consternation he shielded as if it was his pet project!
In fact, Muhyiddin did visit a NFC in Gemas to find out what was starting upon with a plan upon June 23, 2011. At a farm, renowned visitors have been told that "It is a misconception that agriculture is not profitable. We additionally wanted to show Malaysia is capable of producing high quality beef," Malay Mali had reported NFC arch senior manager military officer Izran Salleh as saying. Izran, along with his hermit Izmir as well as sister Izzana, had set up their cattle plantation upon a 5,000-acre site in Gemas, Negri Sembilan in 2008.
Unfortunately a disturbance is indefensible as well as what came out from Khairy's mouth is not usually silly though additionally sounds rsther than stupid. The defenses from Prime Minister Najib Razak as well as Agriculture Minister Noh Omar have been half-truths, prompting some-more questions rsther than than providing answers. Then Badawi himself came in to a picture though giving any applicable facts as usual, as well as in a end, even Muhyiddin gave up trying to explain. He arrogantly told a rakyat (people) to have their own conclusions.
Only a single flock of cows?
As UMNO attempted to urge a unsuccessful NFC, portraying it as a success through a media, a single can have an easy end from a video clip that was aired via a UMNO television companies that showed a usually flock of cows they had in a complete 5,000 acre farm. It is utterly vivid that all of them have been skinny; a cows have been patently emaciated even with a RM250 million soft loan.
It seems that nobody! in a UM NO-BN wants to take a responsibility as well as Najib is utterly happy not to dig serve in to a make a difference since this has already since him some value over Muhyiddin. Yes, a DPM is getting a negative effects since he was a Agriculture Minister during that point in time. But Najib in box he thinks he is not obliged was additionally a Deputy Prime Minister. Alas, a beef that Malaysians have with Najib still binds he is indeed a many irresponsible personality as well as cares usually for personal glorious as well as pleasure.
Shahrizat as well as her family have been really advantageous to have Najib as a Prime Minister. Shahrizat is additionally aware that a NFC will be shielded during all costs since it will be UMNO's quagmire. Delegates attending a Dec annual assembly will certainly direct to know how did a plan end up being since to her family? Why did a alternative bidder for a plan Lamberts Agricultural Trade (M) Sdn Bhd, an Australian based company, repel from a scheme? That is an additional story to be told an additional day, greatfully be patient.
Who will be richer, who will be poorer
Now everybody is trying to distance himself or herself from a debacle. Noh Omar not long ago sensitive us that a RM250 million loan was not even referred to a Cabinet. But that Cabinet? The Badawi Cabinet or a Najib Cabinet?
This complete part has unprotected a loyal colours of UMNO-BN as well as a Malaysian ministers. Unfortuntely, a UMNO-BN supervision has no thought upon how to deliver a NFC or what to do with it. The easy thing to do that is a normal for a UMNO-BN supervision is to bail NFC out. Would this meant Shahrizat's family would be RM250 million richer as well as a rakyat RM250 million poorer?
No a single will know until a consummate review is carried out. So this is why a correct probe needs to be ! carried out. Alas, after a Teoh Beng Hock RCI, few people have any conviction in any of a institutions any more. It sure looks like some-more of a rakyat's money will be thrown, not in to a drain, though certainly in to a cow dung during Gemas.

Protest threat over feedlot row
Jackass minister covers arse, blames Utusan
After a day of open shellacking over remarks upon homosexuality and a Constitution made by Jamil Khir Baharom, a army ubiquitous of ulama who became a apportion for Islam and not a apportion of law has lonesome his jerk by blaming a newspaper.
He didn't contend he was wrong about homosexuality and a Constitution. He didn't contend he was wrong to indicate which a Penal Code was a Constitution. He pronounced he thinks he was misquoted. He thinks?
Malaysian Insider
So it's all right with him to pull a censure upon a contributor and a newspaper? Is which how ministers of religion take shortcoming for their actions?
And what about Nazri Aziz, a actual apportion of law? This is what he pronounced when perplexing to cover a jerk of his cabinet colleague:
The Sun
Nazri Aziz positively sounded as if he believed a inform was true. And Nazri Aziz positively seems to have believed Jamil pronounced that. Of course, Jamil now says he was misquoted. Was this prior to or after Nazri had a word with him?
Let's then look during an additional example of Jamil's supposed thinking:
Malaysian Insider
That's complete rubbish.
Stop lying to a public
Section 377 simply says anal sex or verbal sex have been not allowed. Men upon men, or group upon women, or women upon men, anal sex and verbal sex is not allowed. It does not contend anything about homosexuality and it does not contend group cannot have passionate family with! alterna tive men.
Now, discuss it us again, how does a army turn a burro into a general? The same way jackasses become ministers?
God protect us all if we ever go to war. For sure, a jackasses won't.

PKR: 'No street protest' rule unfair, unconstitutional
The due rule to keep protestors off a streets stipulated in a Peaceful ASsembly Bill 2011 is both unconstitutional as good as unreasonable, pronounced PKR, a party born from reformasi-era travel protests.
In a matter today, PKR vice-president N Surendran pronounced a limitation was irrational as good as negates Article 10 of a federal constitution on a rights to public peacefully.
"There is no such limitation in a laws of other approved countries such as UK, US, Australia, Canada, Finland or South Africa.
"It is utterly inconsistent with international norms as good as practices as good as a Universal Declaration of Human Rights," pronounced Surendran, a leading tellurian rights lawyer.
Surendran argued that travel protests have been a normal as good as harmless form of expression. Moreover, he pronounced these have been an constituent partial of any functioning democracy.
He pronounced that in complicated democracies, a military would be managing trade as good as other matters to ensure that a travel ! rallies go on peacefully.
IGP given far-reaching powers
On a 30-day notice requirement, Surendran pronounced this is unnecessary as good as intentionally enclosed to have it as formidable as possible to convene any assembly.
"If a emanate is stream as good as of urgency, have been we to wait for for a month before holding an assembly? Must we wait for a month if we want to gather to handover a memorandum to a government?
"In a UK underneath a Public Order Act 1986 usually 6 days' notice have been required. In Western Australia it is 4 days, in South Africa seven days as good as in Finland it is usually 6 hours," he said.
He adds that Section 8 of a Bill that! allows a Inspector-General of Police to take "such measures as he deems decessary" to be deceptive as good as open to abuse.
"It grants brand new untramelled powers to a military vis-a-vis public assemblies. Any conditions a military may be allowed to impose must be minimal, singular as good as clearly spelled out in a Bill," he said.
Surendran pronounced a due restrictions would describe Article 10(1) (b) of a federal constitution incomprehensible as good as a Bill itself unconstitutional.
"From a particulars it is transparent that a genuine intention of (the budding minister) as good as his supervision is to have it as formidable as good as burdensome as possible for a rakyat to peacefully assemble.
"We have been now indisputably worse off than we were underneath a supplies of a Police Act 1967."
In his Malaysia Day speech, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak promised to rectify Section 27 of a Police Act 1967 as partial of a series of reforms to emanate more approved space.

The real winners in Air Asia-MAS deal
It looks like a small Napoleons in Khazanah have been a ones who will good most from a controversial share swap.
Who have been a genuine beneficiaries in a controversial Air Asia-Malaysia Airlines share swap? The answer should not be as treacherous as has been done out to be in media statements from all as well as sundry.
Air Middle East Chief Tony Fernandes isn't being really helpful, as well as for viewable reasons. He fears which millions of his doti! ng fans will desert him and, in consequence, he will remove his throne as a God of Marketing in Malaysia as well as a region, if not a world.
We have been told which Khazanah Nasional will have a 10% interest in Air Middle East in lapse for a latter carrying a 20% state in Malaysia Airlines. Khazanah Nasional has a 17.33% interest directly in Malaysia Airlines. Indirectly, it has a 52% interest by Penerbangan Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
There's more than meets a eye in this cloak-and-dagger deal.
Tune Air Sdn Bhd, a in isolation singular association which has a ! 20% cont rolling interest in Air Asia, is owned 50:50 by Tony as well as his partner Kamarudin Meranun. This equates to which each has a 10% interest in Air Middle East by Tune Air.
Khazanah, for all unsentimental purposes, did not enter Air Middle East directly. But like Tony as well as Kamarudin, it went in by Tune Air. The 20% which Tune Air has in Air Middle East is right away owned 50% by Khazanah as well as 50% by Tony as well as Kamarudin.
Khazanah, in reality, right away owns half of Tune Air. Tony as well as Kamarudin both reason a rest in equal measure. In return, Tony as well as Kamarudin supposed a 20% ! interest collectively in a probably bankrupt Malaysia Airlines. Many will say which a two need to have their heads examined.
The bottom line is which buddies Tony as well as Kamarudin have both lost their once determining interest in Air Middle East via Tune Air.
The small Napoleons during Khazanah can go upon to collect up Air Middle East shares in a open marketplace as well as set up up a ownership of a airline outside Tune Air. The income from Air Middle East is approaching to assistance feed a fight chest of a small Napoleons during Khazanah.
This is part of a genuine story which Tony isn't revelation anyone. Instead, like Kamarudin, he deliberately keeps silent upon a understanding while a media goes upon a wild crow chase. Both group contingency have laughed their heads off recently when several MPs attacked Tony in Parliament over a share swap.
It's a bit of a mystery because Tony as well as his partner gave up their determining interest in Air Asia.
Under Tony, Air Middle East had bragged from a pregnancy which Now Everyone Can Fly. We can usually theory during what his genuine motives have been in accepting a understanding with Khazanah so which Not Everyone Can Now Fly.
There was which story not so prolonged ago which Air Middle East would change a domicile to Jakarta. This was before prolonged after Tony proposed singing praises of a Indonesian capital. The Air Middle East chief saw Indonesia as El Dorado as well as a Promised Land all rolled into a single as Air Middle East Indonesia was poised for as most success as Air Middle East in Malaysia.
Genius plan
When caught with his pants down over a domicile announcement, he quickly claimed which Air Middle East would still keep a domicile in Malaysia. Jakarta, he said, would be Air Asia's Asean domicile given that's where a Asean Secretariat was located.
Apparently, he longed for to have a "closer working relationship" with a Asean Secretariat given Air Middle East was i! n actual ity THE Asean Airline. If that's a case, what purpose would a so-called Air Middle East domicile in Malaysia still play? Air Middle East would finish up with two domicile under Tony's might plan.
Since a share barter deal, you have not heard anything about Air Asia's Asean domicile in Jakarta. Instead, you have been told which Tony will set up a brand brand brand new airlineCaterham Jetostensibly to compete with, in between others, Qantas in a plans for a brand brand brand new airline for a super abounding in a region. Not Everyone Should Fly? God alone knows.
Here, a law of a matter is which Tony has had it up to his eyeballs with a small Napoleons during Malaysian Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) for probably extorting him over a years by exces! sive fee s. He sees a badly-managed MAHB as a leech, sucking Air Asia's blood for all it is worth.
The way he reckons it, he works hard usually to see MAHB robbing him of a fruits of his work as well as all a time blackmailing him. He is still sore which it denied him a right to set up a brand brand brand new low price airfield near a Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Instead, MAHB motionless to set up a ownfor a lucrative in isolation contracts which a small Napoleons could take for themselvesand obstruct him to regulating their brand brand brand new airport.
MAHB even enlisted a await of former prime apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a omnipresent, to run open opinion against a brand brand brand new airfield programmed by Air Asia. Many stories in a Malay media upon a emanate bordered upon a personal, were highly descent as well as even downright racist.
That Air Middle East has been a runaway success in Malaysia from a word "go" is in no doubt whatsoever. It has replicated as well as repetitious this success by subsidiaries in Thailand, Vietnam as well as a Philippines, on top of Indonesia.
Unique exit strategy
So, again, what's behind Tony's emplacement with a share swap? Is this an ego outing for him during a responsibility of a legions of loyal Air Middle East commuters?
Is he abandoning Air Middle East in Malaysia by his own singular exit plan a la a share barter deal? That's a million ringgit question!
Tony should come clean upon a deal. Perhaps, he can spin up during a on-going Public Accounts Committee hearings as well as confess his sins.
And he should stop revelation too most stories.
Not too prolonged ago, Tony kept revelation a media which Singapore was over-rated as a must-stop movement in between Oceania, Europe as well as a world. He affianced to assistance set up up Senai International Airport to obscure Singapore's Changi. But after Air Middle East perceived long-denied alighting rights during Changi, you no longer hear about a Senai plan.
Air Asia's as well as Tony's most loyal fans wish to ensure which Everyone Can Now Still Fly.
No doubt, they wouldn't wish a small Napoleons during Khazanah, a loser organization operating in tip most of a time with open funds, to foreordain how Air Middle East should be run.
It appears which Khazanah's small Napoleons have been not satisfied with making a disaster of Malaysia Airlines as well as which Tony has willingly jumped into their trap for his own reasons, whatever they are. Khazanah's small Napoleons will soon start determining a lucrative contracts during Air Asia, as they have done during Malaysia Airlines.
