Hazmi Awan Nano tak percaya Anwar meliwat?
PANAS BERAPI! HARUN TAIB AKAN DIPECAT HARI INI?
Sebelum ini Harun Taib tidak bersetuju dengan kenyataan Ketua Pembangkang, Anwar Ibrahim yang menyokong penuh usaha melindungi keselamatan Israel dalam temu bual dengan The Wall Street Journal.
Terbaru Harun Taib secara terang mendesak agar Presiden Pas Haji Hadi agar kembali bertanding dimana-mana Parlimen supaya dapat memastikan Haji Hadi dapat menjadi Perdana Menteri jika pakatan menang.
Kedua-dua kritikan terhadap Anwar telah mengundang kemarahan kepada parasit dalam Pas yang berkiblatkan Anwar Ibrahim.
Antara kenyataan yang mengundang kemarahan Anwar adalah:
''Saya tidak bersetuju dengan dia (Anwar) kerana mendahulukan soal keselamatan Israel. Isunya sekarang ialah penderitaan rakyat Palestin. Jika dia (Anwar) mendahulukan soal Palestin pasti saya bersetuju.
''Dalam konteks perjuangan rakyat Palestin, kita wajib menyokongnya dengan harapan rakyat Palestin akhirnya dapat hidup di tanah air mereka sendiri dengan aman,'' katanya
Harun Taib memuji bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad dan bekas Presiden Pas, Allahyarham Datuk Fadzil Noor pernah bersepakat dalam isu Palestin.
''Mereka pernah bersama-sama berpidato di Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) menyatakan sokongan terhadap perjuangan Palestin. Ini membuktikan isu Palestin adalah isu sejagat yang disepakati oleh semua pihak di negara ini.
''Kerana apa? Kerana ia melibatkan soal asas dan soal prinsip,'' ujarnya lagi.
Kini Harun Taib dalam bahaya kerana gerak gerinya akan sentiasa diperhatikan ole! h parasi t dalam Pas.

MAHBs fundraising plans for KLIA2 will dilute public interests, says Pua
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 3 Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhds (MAHB) plans to lift income from a capital marketplace to account a outrageous enlarge in KLIA2s building a whole costs will compromise open seductiveness since a governments interest will be diluted, a DAPs Tony Pua pronounced today.
The antithesis Pakatan Rakyat (PR) lawmaker urged a federal supervision as well as a investment arm Khazanah Nasional to investigate what caused a price of a brand brand brand new low-cost conduit terminal to balloon from RM1.7 billion in 2007 to RM3.9 billion currently.
What is of regard to a open is a actuality which MAHBs capability to repay a debt but future bailout by a supervision is by no means assured, he pronounced in a matter today.
Pua (picture) noted which MAHB had, in a Jan 30 filing to Bursa Malaysia, voiced which it would lift RM598 million from a due share placement exercise which ran opposite to what a managing director Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad pronounced previously.
Bashir had final November denied which open supports will be used to financial a inflated price of a brand brand brand new terminal.
In an report memorandum submitted to Bursa Malaysia, MAHB settled which a sum proceeds to be raised from a Proposed Private Placement will be utilised to part financial a one more capital expenditure to be incurred as a result of a encouragement in specifications for a brand brand brand new low-cost conduit during Kuala Lumpur International Airport
The action by MAHB to lift one more supports from a marketplace proves which open financial seductiveness has been compromised as a result of a RM2.2 billion enlarge in price of KLIA2, Pua, a Petaling Jaya Utara MP, said.
He additionally pronounced which a current major shareholders in MAHB, who act as curators of open money, will be forced to dilute their interest by as most as 10 per cent ! as a res ult of a exercise.
He pointed out which majority shareholder Khazanah, during 54 per cent, will see a interest in MAHB cut to 49.1 per cent; whilst a Employees Provident Fund (EPF) as well as Skim Amanah Saham Bumiputera (ASB) will have their 10.3 per cent as well as 6.8 per cent stakes sliced to 9.4 per cent as well as 6.2 per cent respectively.
Pua added which a MAHB info-memo additionally pronounced a earnings per share of a airfield government organisation will be reduced proportionately with a enlarge in a series of MAHB shares assuming which a net earnings for a past year remain unchanged.
This plan to emanate brand brand brand new shares to lift funds, he said, was upon tip of MAHBs RM3.1 billion debt in 2010. He highlighted which RM2.5 billion had left into financing a building a whole of KLIA2.

POISON Malaysia ... You die, they Laugh, Happy !
Dr Mahathir Mohamad supports singular earth estimate plant in Pahang because his eldest son Mokzhani has a interest in a project.
Anwar calls for transformation opposite Pahang singular earth plant
I have spoken up upon a Lynas singular earth plant in Pahang upon numerous occasions. It appears that a government, both state as well as federal, is insensitive as well as stubborn. The statute system of administration has refused to listen to a people as well as their fears.
It appears that even a Australian people do not want a radio active rubbish being shipped behind to their own backyard. Wo! rse, a f riend pointed out that you have been giving a 12-year taxation grant to a user of a plant. This is an additional e.g. of audacity of power.
It appears to me that Barisan wants to mislay some-more elections as well as some-more states prior to it can in a future wake up from a slumber. you am not astounded if they competence even mislay a state of Pahang in a subsequent ubiquitous elections if this issues is not addressed.
Which is some-more important, ketuanan Melayu or health? Ask a Malays in Pahang especially Kuantan as well as they will be means to give a straight answer.
Get wise!
Do you need to receptive to advice so desperate? Is a acceptance of Lynas investment in any box of a illness risks shows that you have been no longer attractive to prolific as well as believe based investors?
Think it over please!
Immediately after a Japanese tsunami as well as a Fukushima situation , you wrote about a need to review a programmed singular earth plant in Pahang. This was what i wrote then:
While a total universe is right divided disturbed about a reserve of chief plants, after an blast in a single as well as a probable meltdown in 2 other, you suspicion it would be correct for anyone, even those eager to see a chief plant in Malaysia, to think twice. Or during slightest wait till serve growth to see either a Japanese can contain a chief problemsand how serious this would turn out to be prior to commenting.
But a minister in charge of a programmed chief plant has immediately voiced that Malaysia would go upon with a programmed project, but even wanting to wait out serve growth in Japan. you suspicion this is unequivocally astray to a people of Malaysia. Not usually that, this is additionally politically unwise to voiced this when a total universe is disturbed about probable chief fallouts. you suspicion a some-more esse! ntial ap proach would be to postpone as well as review any chief plan that is being planned. We should additionally take an additional look during a programmed singular earth bureau in Pahang.. No formulation by male is foolproof. Mother inlet has shown it obviously in this case. A nation as modernized as Japan is confronting intensity nucelar meltdown, as well as you unequivocally do not know how bad is a situation, or either a supervision there is unequivocally pure in a disclosure..
Many months have passed, as well as a singular earth plan is still being carried out,.
Some might contend that there is minimal risk to deviation exposure. Some might disagree that you might get some-more deviation travelling in a plane.
The law is there is no such thing a a minimal level of reserve where radaition is concerned. Prolonged exposure of even low dose deviation is known to means illness problems, deviation risk being cumulative.
I have afterwards written an additional article as well as this is partial of a excerpt:
The simple question is : if there is no risk during all to set up a singular earth company, because didn't a association set this up in Western Australia, nearby to a source of extraction? It would have saved millions in shipping cost.
The actuality that it has not obtained approval by a management to set up such a plant in Western Australia ( that has a vast area of unpopulated land), as well as it has to set up a plant thousands of miles divided from a source of descent speaks copiousness for itself.
If Western Australian management is endangered about deviation risk, because shouldn't you be too?
If a reserve facilities of a plant cannot ensure a arising of a permit to work in Australia, because have been you giving a license? Is a customary! of rese rve reduce than that of Australia? Are you so tough up upon foreign investment that you have been peaceful to risk a illness of a people? Isn't that contrary to a aphorism "People first"?
Is a hold up of a Malaysian less changed than that of a proprietor of a grown nation?
Germany has turn a initial nation to slowly wean itself of chief plants. many countries have been reevaluating their appetite needs as well as reviewing chief options.
It would be advantageous for a nation to terminate a plan or during a unequivocally slightest , shelf it.
Malaysia has already had a bad experience formerly in a Bukit Merah Asian singular earth plant. A US$ 100 million claen up plan has been instituted there, after complaints of birthd ecfects as well as many cases of leukamia in a community that has no seen any leukaemia cases before.
When Chernobyl was built, residents around it was assured that it was safe. Similarly, when Fukushima plot was built, people was told that it was unequivocally safe. But like a proverb "Man proposes, God dispose", what was protected incited out to be not protected during all. In chernobyl, it was attributed to tellurian error. In Fukushima, it was an action of God.
I have formerly mentioned that you cannot be certain that in a Malaysian plant, you would not have any tellurian error.
As a person who has a master grade in occupational medicne as well as reserve ( in fact, my master's desertation that obtained a distinction was used as training materials for alternative masters students ), you can contend for certain that there will unequivocally be tellurian blunder no make a difference how careful a person can be. Human inlet is such that you have been influenced by emotions, illnesses, dullness as well as a attitude, as well as any of these factors can means accident. A moment's inattention or absentmindedness mostly out! come in accidents in work places, not make a difference how strigent is a procedures for safety.
In fact, a cardinal order in occupational reserve ( as well as reserve in general) is to mislay a jeopardy at your convenience it is possible. Only when removal of jeopardy is not possible, afterwards usually you would think of instituting reserve measures as well as work procedure to minimise a risks of that sold hazard.
Just to allude to an e.g. in safety: if there is a protusion upon a floor of a corridor, that might means tripping at your convenience people travel along that corridor, it is best in reserve measures to mislay a protrusion.. Only when a tab cannot be removed, a reserve specialist would think of alternative ways like erecting a notice sign to advise about a jeopardy (in this case, a jeopardy is a protrusion), or undertake remodelling work to make a tab in to a gradual climb as well as gradual fall. This is a initial principle in safety: mislay a hazard.
In a box of Lynas, a jeopardy is a singular earth, so a safest way is to mislay a singular earth; it follows that you should not allow singular earth to be alien as well as processed.
This is not a domestic issue; rsther than an emanate of reserve that has amicable implications. If you have been a obliged government, you should unequivocally compensate attention to a concerns as well as fears of a people staying around a area; these have been real.
So i goal sane minds will prevail, as well as there is unequivocally no precipitate set up a plant; Malaysia does not need this type of Foreign investments that have been potentially harmful.

Surveying the Global Power Shift
'Strategic Vision,' by Zbigniew Brzezinski
By Michiko Kakutani
Published: Jan 29, 2012
The 2008 crash as well as America as well as Europe's continuing mercantile woes; the rise of China as well as worries about the decrease of the West; as well as technology-fueled uprisings around the universe from the Arab Spring protests to anti-Putin demonstrations in Russia such developments underscore just how prophetic Zbigniew Brzezinski has been in his earlier writings.
In the early 1990s, when the little scholars were arguing which the finish of the cold fight as well as the implosion of the Soviet Union signified the appearance of the brand brand new epoch in which magnanimous democracy would delight around the planet, Mr. Brzezinski was warning about the forces of shake rumbling through the building universe as well as the weaknesses of the West which could undermine the tellurian clout.
In his 1993 book "Out of Control: Global Turmoil upon the Eve of the 21st Century" Mr. Brzezinski argued which the increase in speed of information exchnage done probable by record set ? la mode history apart from the past, which China was some-more expected than Russia to pretence the leadership purpose upon the universe stage, as well as which America's importance upon "material wealth, upon consumption as well as upon the propagation of self-indulgence as the definition of the good life" could discredit the pre-eminence as the tellurian power.
Now, in ! his prov ocative brand brand new book, "Strategic Vision: America as well as the Crisis of Global Power," Mr. Brzezinski (right) the inhabitant confidence confidant to President Jimmy Carter surveys the stream state of universe affairs. He provides the clear-eyed, sharp-tongued assessment of this hinge moment in time, when the world's center of sobriety is changeable "from the West to the East."
This situation has come about, he says, given of America's mercantile as well as domestic problems during home (including the flourishing as well as "eventually unsustainable inhabitant debt," faltering public preparation as well as an increasingly gridlocked as well as rarely narrow-minded domestic process), misguided unfamiliar policy decisions (most particularly George W. Bush's integrity to wage an nonessential as well as costly fight in Iraq) as well as the flourishing mastery, by intensity rivals, of "21st-century modernity."
Certainly the little of these observations will be familiar to readers of new books by Bill Clinton ("Back to Work") as well as Thomas L. Friedman as well as Michael Mandelbaum ("That Used to Be Us"), though Mr. Brzezinski does the reasoning job here of situating America's relations with alternative countries in the geopolitical as well as historical context. And he uses his imagination in these areas to draw the harrowing portrait of what the universe competence look identical to but the re-energized as well as strategic-minded United States upon the tellurian stage.
In the 1990s the United States had spin the "first indeed tellurian superpower"; given then, he says, there has been the tellurian dispersion of power, with the enervated European Union, along with Russia, China, India as well as Japan all maneuvering for position. This dispersion of power, he goes on! , is mag nified by "the emergence of the flighty phenomenon: the worldwide domestic awakening of populations until not long ago politically passive or repressed."
He adds: "Occurring not long ago in Central as well as Eastern Europe as well as lately in the Arab world, this awakening is the cumulative product of an interactive as well as interdependent universe continuous by instant visible communications as well as of the demographic youth bulge in the reduction advanced societies composed of the easy-to-mobilize as well as politically nervous university students as well as the socially deprived unemployed."
In such an increasingly inconstant world, Mr. Brzezinski suggests, the United States remains, in the words of the former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright (left), the "indispensable nation." Though no longer the hegemonic colossus, America stays essential, in his view, to promoting "a incomparable as well as some-more critical West" (embracing "perhaps in varying ways, both Turkey as well as the indeed democratizing Russia") whilst during the same time playing the "role of balancer as well as conciliator" in Asia. There it ought to rivet China "in the critical dialogue per informal stability" to revoke the possibility not usually of American-Chinese conflicts though also of miscalculations between China as well as Japan, or China as well as India, or China as well as Russia.
Mr. Brzezinski records which President Obama has "failed to verbalise but delay to the American people about America's becoming different purpose in the world, the implications, as well as the demands," but this book curiously lacks any minute research of Mr. Obama's policies so far zero remotely coming the acute assessments of Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton as well a! s George H. W. Bush contained in this author's 2007 book, "Second Chance," which charted the opportunities he considers missed during the finish of the cold fight (like regulating the victory in the initial Gulf fight strategically to press for an Israeli-Palestinian accord).
Also missing from this book have been any substantive discussions of how the United States competence strike "its towering domestic hurdles as well as reorient the drifting unfamiliar policy" as well as how the stream European debt crisis competence start the United States as well as the future fortunes of the West.
What Mr. Brzezinski does do here lucidly, as well as for the many part with good persuasiveness is explore the consequences which the steady slip by America in to impotence as well as irrelevance competence have upon the rest of the world. Such the development, he argues, would substantially not outcome in the " 'coronation' of an in effect tellurian successor" identical to China, though would expected lead to the "protracted phase of rather inconclusive as well as somewhat chaotic realignments of both tellurian as well as informal power, with no grand winners as well as many some-more losers."
An America "in critical decrease for domestic and/or outmost reasons," he says, would lead to the breakdown in the capability of the general system to forestall conflict once it became evident which "America is unwilling or unable to strengthen states it once considered, for inhabitant seductiveness and/ or doctrinal reasons, estimable of the engagement." As he sees it, the some-more Darwinian universe of tumbling dominoes would many expected result: there would be little to prohibit informal powers (like Russia) from exerting claims upon neighbors descending within traditional or claimed spheres of shift (like Georgia, Belarus as well as Ukraine). Taiwan would spin increasingly vulnerable, as well as so as well would Israel.
In the box of Afghanistan, Mr. Brzezinski says, the failure to means United States-sponsored general impasse in the segment could spin which country in to the haven again for general terrorism, whilst the decrease in American energy as well as aid could lead to the worst-case outcome in which Pakistan devolved in to "some variation of chief warlordism" or became "a militant-Islamic as well as anti-Western government identical to Iran."
For which matter, Mr. Brzezinski suggests, the enervated America would increase the dangers of chief proliferation around the world. Were doubts to be raised about the United States' chief umbrella, he says, countries identical to South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Turkey as well as Israel would have to seek confidence elsewhere which elsewhere meaning "nuclear weapons of one's own or from the lengthened anticipation of an additional energy many expected Russia, China or India."
Global environmental issues including meridian shift as well as flourishing water shortages would be similarly affected. In the murky conclusion to this judicious book Mr. Brzezinski writes which but the revitalized America assisting to conduct the general commons, "progress upon the issues of central importance to social contentment as well as ultimately to human presence would stall."
A chronicle of this review appeared in print upon Jan 30, 2012, upon page C1 of the New York book with the headline: Surveying the Global Power Shift.

Malaysia: Home of Big Government
February 2, 2012
Malaysia: Truly Home Of "Big Government"
by Karim Raslan@www.themalaysianinsider.com
Welcome to Malaysia, truly the home of "Big Government". With over 5 per cent of the race (1.4 million out of 27.8 million) upon the state's payroll, it's hard to deny which the polite service is "bloated".
Comparisons across ASEAN have been not flattering. According to the OECD, in Thailand polite servants have up usually 2.06 per cent of the population, 1.81 per cent in the Philippines as well as 1.79 per cent in Indonesia.
Whilst many criticise the inefficiency as well as politicisation of the polite service, few would dare disciple slicing their numbers. The fact which the public zone is primarily Malay-Bumiputra creates such reform intensely sensitive.
Nonetheless, as the oil-fuelled economic excesses come home to roost, Malaysians have been confronting up to the set of dilemmas interconnected with public sector's measureless size.
We're commencement to ask tough questions. What is the proper purpose of government? How most of it can you unequivocally afford? How can you have polite servants some-more effective? Those who consider differently might like to take the resting afternoon expostulate through the single of my slightest prime places Putrajaya, with the grandiose boulevards as well as bridges. Its luxury underlines the widespread purpose played by supervision across all aspects of society, generally in the aftermath of the New Economic Policy (NEP).
Moreover, for Muslims the nation's Islamic investiture extends officialdom's reach into the most in isolation aspects of the lives.The pervasive shift of the state has had the debilitating impa! ct upon Malaysia most in the same way which the welfare state has eroded European work ethics.
Malaysia's challenge right away is rebellious the disastrous side-effects of once well-intentioned, certain discrimination policies. Malaysia is right away blighted with Europe's twisted clarity entitlement
At the same time, non-Malay citizens feel tricked by the singular focus upon Malay interests. This in turn fuels rancour as well as distrust. In such the context attempts during fostering inhabitant togetherness have been cursed to failure.
Indeed, the majority of Malays in the administration serve threatens village relations as supervision becomes overly identified with communal rsther than than inhabitant interests.
Furthermore, over past decades the celebration (i.e. UMNO) as well as the state appear to have turn fused. This is an diseased incident for many reasons.
First, it equates to which UMNO's flaws have tended to turn the governments' as well as vice-versa. This additionally equates to which the cynicism towards the supervision autochthonous amongst the non-Malays is spreading to the Malays themselves as anger over mismanagement grows.
Public office is no longer seen as the position of trust though as the equates to to enrich one's family. People right away consider of supervision programmes in terms of who is ultimately going to "benefit" from it all rsther than than upon their merits.
As Francis Fukuyama has argued, low-trust societies (which is what Malaysia is quick becoming, if not already) do not usually grasp most and, indeed, do not last. Malaysia cannot move forward if mistrust is rampant.
Furthermore, the continued blurring of c! elebrati on as well as state lines has complicated the reforms which both sides desperately need.I've already argued how UMNO's long period in supervision has done the cadres complacent as well as incompetent to understanding with the resurgent antithesis as well as polite society.
Also, UMNO's power has done polite servants (with some notable exceptions like the Auditor-General's Department) shy as well as incompetent to provide supervision leaders with honest input upon policy.
If UMNO is to survive, it will need to divorce itself from the institutions of state which it has infiltrated. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak contingency find the political will to undertake this painful though necessary process even though UMNO's right-wing might oppose him.
To be fair though, this adjustment contingency additionally happen upon the ground. Malaysians additionally need to stop relying upon the supervision for everything. The attitudes of some Malaysians do not help. Some of the demands for the MPs as well as state assemblymen have been honestly ludicrous, like expecting them to attend to spoilt travel lights or blocked drains.
Honestly people; legislators have been ostensible to legislate. Such counts have been distractions as well as unequivocally should be for the internal councils, who ought to be elected to have them accountable.
At the end of the day, you need to shift how you perspective government. Our expectations have to be some-more aligned with the increasingly limited resources rsther than than the NEP-linked aspirations.
We need to stop making the state the initial point of reference whenever there's the problem or controversy which needs solving. Individuals as well as generally the Malays contingency pretence larger responsibility for their own lives.
Civil multitude ought to be empowered to be able to provide these solutions. The past 50 years has witnessed th! e immeas urable enlargement of government. The next 50 will see the contraction if usually because you can't sustain the gravy train indefinitely.
