KUALA LUMPUR, February 18 Ivory Properties Group Bhd (IPGB) came out currently to dispel claims which it had purchased budding state-owned land in Penangs Bayan Mutiara for next marketplace rate as good as but an open tender.

The public-listed skill development organisation spoken in the matter here which it had paid for the land upon rising the top bidder in an open as good as rival proposal called by the Penang government, which closed upon Dec 31, 2010.

Upon winning its bid, the 41.5ha block of skill was purchased for RM240 per block feet (psf) or the total of RM1.072 billion, IPGB said.

The organisation combined which in its original bid, it had sought to squeeze the land during the same RM240 rate but to be paid for over 8 years.

Lim pronounced he was ready to quit governing body for great if his accusers could infer their claims.

In awarding the proposal to IPGB as the top bidder in 2011, the state supervision imposed an additional requirement of shortening the term of remuneration from the original 8 years to five years.

This was agreed to by IPGB as good as all necessary announcements were lodged with Bursa Malaysia, it pronounced in the statement.

According to IPGB authority as good as organisation chief senior manager officer Datuk Low Eng Hock, the organisation has to date paid the deposit of RM22.1 million for the land.

The residue will be paid according to the scheduled swell remuneration after IPGBs shareholders approval during the extraordinary general meeting, which is scheduled upon March 5, 2012, he added.

IPGBs matter currently comes among accusations by multiform Umno leaders, together with Sabah MP Dat! uk Abdul Rahman Dahalan as good as Penang Umno authority Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman, which the Penang supervision sole the budding real estate during the 50 per cent bonus to private developers.

According to their allegations, the 41.5ha plot in question was actually value RM420 psf, good on top of the RM240 psf it was sole at.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has, however, regularly refuted this, as good as instead challenged to dual Umno leaders to furnish proof of their claims.

He combined yesterday which he was even peaceful to retire from governing body if the twin could infer which the land sale was not finished by open rival tender.

If Datuk Zainal Abidin Osman as good as Datuk Abdul Rahman fail to infer which there was no open rival tender, would they afterwards dare to accept my challenge to retire from politics?

The dual Umno leaders should accept this challenge to infer which they have been not enchanting in the systematic campaign of lies to undermine as good as harm the state governments open proposal policy as good as affordable housing programme, he pronounced in the statement.

The Obamas, by Jodi Kantor

When a Republican Scott Brown defeated a Democrat Martha Coakley to win Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat in 2010, Michelle Obama was apoplectic. There was no vital player in American governing body whom Mrs. Obama appreciated some-more than Ted Kennedy. For many of her adult life, wherever he stood upon open process issues, she flattering much stood. The initial woman ardently believed which Kennedy's publicity of her father for a 2008 Democratic assignment had been a real act of courage, a straw which sloping a beam in his favor opposite Hillary Clinton. Recognizing Brown's surprise win as a threat to her husband's complete illness care beginning (the choosing price Senate Democrats their supermajority), Mrs. Obama went scalp hunting. She blamed comparison White House officials similar to Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod as good as Robert Gibbs for a Massachusetts disaster as good as her father for not riding herd upon them. "She feels," President Obama sheepishly told aides, "as if a rudder isn't set right."

Pointing out such concerns is, of course, a range of a spouse. The difference when a head of state's associate performs an advisory role is which both a content as good as its consequences resonate by a lot some-more than a single household. And that's a point of Jodi Kantor's brand new book, "The Obamas." Call it chicky nonfiction, if you will; this book is not about politics, it's about marriage, or during slightest a single marriage, as good as a notably successful a single during that. This is a integrate who listen to each other, as good as no a single believes some-more in America's 44th boss than his wife. Last August, during a party for his 50th birthday, Kantor writes, Mrs. Obama toasted her father for passing a illness care bill, appointing dual women to a Supreme Court as good as murdering Osama bin Laden. When he signaled for a accolades to be toned down, she cut him off. "No, you're usually starting to stand there as good as listen," she snapped. "I know it makes! you unc omfortable, but you usually spin 50 once, so you're usually starting to have to take it." And he did.

Kantor, a Washington correspondent for The New York Times, interviewed a Obamas for a 2009 Times Magazine profile as good as became greatly interested in a operative relationship in between Potus as good as Flotus. Recognizing which many books upon a Obama White Househave largely been about policy, she sensed an opening. The outcome is "The Obamas," a dimly argumentative house intrigue which attempts to insist how a initial couple's matrimony works. "In public, they smiled as good as waved," Kantor writes, "but how were a Obamas really reacting to a White House, as good as how was it affecting a rest of us?" A reportorial wunderkind, she had a gumption not usually to collect colorful, hard-to-come-by insider anecdotes about a Obamas, but additionally to try in to a dangerous terrain of psychoanalyzing a initial lady. When an amateur puts a powerful upon a shrink's couch, following a e.g. of Freud with Woodrow Wilson, a hunches about human inlet had better be spot on.

Fortunately, "The Obamas"is some-more Sally Bedell Smith than Kitty Kelley. Kantor interviewed 33 White House officials as good as aides as good as cupboard members, to good effect. She reconstructs a half-dozen or so strange, gossipy moments which frequency reason up as serious journalism, but yield insight nonetheless. Mostly, she illuminates, in breezy prose, how a initial woman sets a tinge as good as tempo of a current White House. Kantor's admiring portrait of Mrs. Obama, a cuddle really, shows a miraculous mother, an scathing domestic strategist as good as a strong-willed spouse.

It's impossible not to cheer for Mrs. Obama when she takes a West Wing staff to a woodshed for being random as good as for expecting her to campaign upon interest of "members of Congress she knew small about as good as competence not determine with." Could anyone really pull for a hubristic Emanuel in those square-offs? All you l! isten to is go-get-'em-Michelle. After all, what initial woman worth a title wouldn't occasionally war with a bumptious help deluded in to thinking he was in assign of a White House?

A couple of of a anecdotes Kantor includes have been riveting. One e.g. is her romantic rendering of usually how aggrieved a initial integrate felt after a point-blank shooting of Gabrielle Giffords. Kantor decently elucidates President Obama's superb as good as healing Jan 2011 debate in Tucson by putting a reader in Mrs. Obama's place as her father says, "Gabby opened her eyes." The weeping scene is intensely good constructed.

As a Obamas have been hoarding their personal stories for their White House memoirs, a American open has gotten usually glimpses in to their marriage. This chronicle provides a couple of more, but what you sense you had basically already guessed. Mrs. Obama is a mega-progressive, as good as her father a starchy pragmatist who knows how to deliver a thumping debate when he's up opposite a wall. Mrs. Obama, whose favorability ratings remain high, isn't usually a family's hard-nosed gatekeeper. She additionally serves as a president's "sparring partner, early-warning system, retreat as good as guardian." With echoes of Jackie Kennedy's character sense, Lady Bird Johnson's green thumb as good as Nancy Reagan's zealous protection of her family from a slings as good as arrows of domestic discourse, Mrs. Obama additionally comes across as a dignified force. If a boss is intent upon actualizing a third Clinton term, Mrs. Obama embodies a suggestion of Martin Luther King Jr.

Douglas Brinkley is a highbrow of history during Rice University. His ultimate book, "Cronkite," will be published in May.

Girlchild, Tupelo Hassmans Debut Novel

Illustration by Alex Robbins

Rory Dawn Hendrix's motherly origin is bad news. Her mom as well as grandmother have been "biblically fertile" former teenage mothers, "high propagandize dropouts, . . . welfare moms, alcoholics, gamblers, smokers, ragers." These 3 generations of Hendrix women have been all, for the time, residents of the Calle de las Flores, the dust-choked Reno trailer play ground where violence as well as passionate abuse abound, as well as an unbarred doorway is an invitation of the worst kind. Though Rory seems heir to all the disadvantages in the world, her grandmother Shirley Rose creates her expectations clear: "Someone's got to have it as well as it has to be you."

Tupelo Hassman's debut novel, "Girlchild," the bildungsroman set in the 1980s, charts Rory's poor-white American girlhood in innovative form, maturation in mini-chapters, word problems, amicable workers' reports, journal clippings, letters, even the riff upon the cocktail recipe. Hassman additionally subverts the how-to genre, invoking the middle-class directives of aged Girl Scout Handbook mottos as well as chapter titles "The Right Use of Your Body," "Finding Your Way When Lost" which applied to Rory's universe may be unconditionally ineffectual but additionally spirit during the dark forces pulling as well as pulling during her life.

Rory's preoccupation with the Girl Scout Handbook underscores the vulnerability of her youth. She repeatedly checks it out of the library because "nothing else creates promises similar to which around here, promises with these words burning inside them: honor, duty as well as try." Though the means speller as well as star student, Rory, still in elementary school, spends many of her appetite navigating the deeply injured adult world. She can "cus! s" as we ll as "have bieing born control as shortly as I ask," as well as plays with the jukebox during the Truck Stop, where her mother, Jo, tends bar. An overly courteous male enthusiast gives Rory the "jailhouse bouquet," the clump of roses hand-fashioned out of toilet paper. But Rory senses danger in the man's attention. As she recalls her grandmother revelation her: "I'd improved keep my legs closed if I longed for to keep my destiny open."

Hassman avoids descending in to batch characterization the deprived but talented protagonist who overcomes good odds to grasp success by emphasizing the gut-wrenching details of Rory's childhood. Rory's success is never guaranteed. In fact, as the novel progresses, it seems heartbreakingly unlikely. While Jo functions the night change or wanders drunk from club to bar, Rory is watched by Carol, the lady who's been abused by her father as well as is as "greedy as well as vicious as the casino pit boss." Carol's father, the "Hardware Man," intimately assaults Rory repeatedly in the bathroom of his shop. Many nights Rory squeezes "into the moment which is flourishing in between the mattress as well as the wall" while the Hardware Man attacks Carol upon the same bed.

"Girlchild" creates explicit the high toll of abuse. Rory figures which in "fairy tales there's only a single Big Bad Wolf," as well as the "story ends in happily as well as ever after. But . . . every Calle lady knows which once the My-What-Big-Paws-You-Have fall upon her skin, Little Red will carry which scent no have the difference how hard she scrubs." Hassman gives us chapters of blacked-out prose, the form of repudiation which suggests Rory has endured acts as well heinous for words. Though the technique is heavy-handed, it effectively mirrors Rory's try during suppression; brief passages left uncensored ("I hatred Rory D") reveal her unpleasant self-loathing. She is so aggrieved which she develops scabs around her lips from pathologically covering her mouth, as she attempts to stif! le discu ss of the abuse for fright of retribution. "I reason a single palm over my mouth as well as pitch with the alternative hand," Rory says. "I climb away."

Although the novel is harrowing, Hassman's imaginative poetry helps the reading go easier. Trailer play ground epigrams ("Jim Beam didn't fill up my dance card") as well as moments of bizarre beauty enhance the clarity of the Calle community. Hassman describes "Calle girls" who "cry uncle through clenched teeth" while "sirens flash redneck sadness opposite the white-stucco, nicotine-yellow ceiling." Hassman's nods to '80s ephemera ("Family Ties," propagandize folders which whoop "I Love Ricky Schroder Forever!") additionally have Rory's feel feel universal.

Hassman renders Rory's losses acutely: her innocence, her virginity, her chance to shun the Calle, her connections to the people she loves. Occasional digressions in to high-minded dignified questions as well as sure narrative innovations, similar to the series of word problems, lift us away during critical moments particularly during the end, when we're many concerned with Rory's decision-making as well as "sorrowful circumstances." But the puzzles do prominence a single of the novel's strengths: Hassman's integrity to quantify Rory's abuse.

One problem, patrician "Hypotenoose," asks readers to use the Pythagorean theorem to answer the question about the man's shadow during midday. Others involve inebriated drivers as well as rates of speed, or serve the mental recall of Rory's grandfather: "How many of his original four daughters have been deafened by gunshot? (Show all of your work.)" These quizzes obey the feeling of being constantly tested as the child. They magnitude the horrors of abuse as well as represent the survivor's consistent refiguring of suffering as well as loss, as well as of Rory's unsolvable problems.

Late in the novel Rory considers what may grow from her grandmother's gardening experiments as well as calculates the value of her mother's 1972 Nobility ! double-w ide trailer. Rory is metaphorical deliver herself, the thing of value roughed up, beautiful but brutalized. And though "Girlchild" is not the novel of easy triumph or event seized, a single imagines, even hopes, which Rory is able of fulfilling her grandmother's wish, notwithstanding the way both inlet as well as nurture have unsuccessful her.

Megan Mayhew Bergman's initial story collection, "Birds of the Lesser Paradise," will be published subsequent month.

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ANNE FRANK

Nathan Englander

At what point does it turn transparent which we're in a Nathan Englander story rather than a Woody Allen movie? Surely not when a subsequent token reveals Fein's half-clad mom as well as his ("Why hurt a good marriage, even if it's to her?") mother. Possibly when Fein stubbornly reasons with his jury: "You wish law as well as justice as well as for everything to fit in a place. But a lit! tle thin gs have been in between, Rabbi." Certainly when this condemned sight uncover ends upon a note of startling grace.

Englander burst upon a scene in 1999 with "For a Relief of Unbearable Urges," an additional collection poised during a trapdoor between spiritual lust as well as earthy hunger. (The title refers to a visit to a prostitute, prescribed by a Jerusalem rabbi for a submissive congregant.) My favorite was a indelible tale of a Protestant monetary analyst upon whom Orthodox Judaism at once descends from a transparent blue sky. He will breeze up in his chintz-filled Park Avenue unit with a mystified wife, his longtime cringe as well as a rabbi plucked from a Yellow Pages; in a way, his story is a bookend to "Peep Show."

The aroma of Judaism permeates Englander's work as a smell of tzimmes does a house. Echoes of a dual Isaacs, Bashevis Singer as well as Babel, can be listened via his pages, yet Gogol is somewhere in a area too. It is not so great a leap from a male during contingency with his exile nose to a rabbinical discussion in a freezer aisle or, for which matter, a remarkable acquisition of a Jewish soul in a behind seat of a yellow cab.

Absurdities abounded in Englander's earlier work, abounding in pilfered mezuzas as well as yarmulke-wearing Santas. A yahrzeitcandle might still offer as an instrument of revenge, though with "What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank" Englander has sharpened his focus. His subjects have been mercy, vengeance as well as their moody, intractable stepchild, righteousness. He is never deaf to a past or willing to accede to us which luxury. As Allen Fein of Parsippany was once Ari Feinberg, Pvt. Shimmy Gezer of a Israeli Army had been will always be Shimon Bibberblat of Warsaw. To destroy to assimilate as many is to destroy to assimilate his singular sense of right as well as wrong. Englander plants us in a universe where "God no longer lifted His own fist in a fight," withdrawal us to write a manners ourselves. Whether it's blacks or! "kids w ith horns," a young anti-Semite's mom instructs him after he has delivered a schoolyard pummeling, "I do not wish we violence upon those which have been small."

That message is delivered with a slap opposite a face. Its writer speaks some-more obliquely. Two logging Florida retirees "a pair of big beige manatees" in a eyes of a universe have been seated upon a locker room bench. It is forked out to them which a numbers tattooed upon a insides of their wrists have been practically consecutive. Only dual people had stood between them in line. They could not be reduction interested.

Our oil and gas belongs to us, not to KL

We have been not articulate about oil kingship in siege though in the context of the rights of Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu. So given is the Barisan Nasional so reluctant to give the aloft oil royalty? Why can't BN only say, "OK, you will additionally give you twenty percent kingship if you have been voted behind in to power"?

DANIEL JOHN JAMBUN

The approach you look during it, the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has rubbed the emanate of increasing oil kingship really poorly, judging from the approach he made his remarks in Putatan upon Thursday.

He simply pronounced which (1) The direct for increasing kingship is only an antithesis gimmick, (2) It is another dull guarantee of the opposition, (3) 20% or even 50% kingship doesn't have mercantile clarity given during this turn of royalty, allocations to Sabah would have to be cut, (4) "Even their promises in the final choosing haven't been fulfilled," (5) The antithesis is additionally earnest to reduce petrol prices.

These have been really aged as well as boring rehashed answers which have been easy to rebut: The direct for increasing oil kingship is not the gimmick though something which will definitely be implemented when BN loses Putrajaya, so it won't be an dull guarantee when you win the election, as well as it makes the lot of mercantile clarity for Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu given with which turn of kingship you won't even need any more sovereign allocation. The allocations you have been removing today have been in fact only crumbs compared to the outrageous amount you have been giving to the Federal Government every year, as well as which is upon top of the billions of annual taxes picked up from Sabah. We haven't over the promises in the final choosing given you didn't take ove! r Putraj aya yet.

How does Najib consider you can implement something which you betrothed "if the people vote BN out"? In fact it is the BN which failed to do the lot of promises as well as combined the lot of disaster given entrance to power so prolonged ago. you have listed these in my prolonged list of scandals as well as greedy abuses of the people's money by the hundreds of billions published in online portals underneath the pretension "Najib should clarify monetary scandals." you am still waiting for the reply.

The BN additionally needs to answer Raja Petra Kamarudin's really clever rationales upon the emanate which he had elaborated in Malaysia Today underneath the pretension "How East Malaysia as well as Terengganu were robbed of their wealth?" RPK's reasoning as well as logic about the whole thing is really simple. He writes: "both Barisan Nasional as well as Pakatan Rakyat have been currently deliberating how most Oil Royalty should be 'given' to those states which have oil as well as gas. How do you 'give' them something which already belongs to them in the initial place? Should not the word you make make use of of be 'take'? .The oil as well as gas already belongs to the states. This is what the Malaysian Agreement as well as the earlier Federation Agreement was all about. And, in which Agreement, it was agreed which all healthy resources would be the skill of the states. Water, timber, land, sand, minerals, etc., all go to the states. As do oil as well as gas. These have been what you call healthy resources. Hence they go 100% to the states, not 5% or 20% or 50% or whatever. In 1973, Barisan Nasional was launched as well as PAS became partial of the sovereign government. In 1974, the new ruling coalition in Parliament (where all the antithesis parties except DAP were right away members of) passed the Petroleum Development Act as well as the oil as well as gas were eliminated from the states to the sovereign government, meaning Petro! nas. To keep the states quiet, they were given 5% as the token 'Oil Royalty'.Now, if the sovereign supervision had power over oil as well as gas, given the need to pass the Petroleum Development Act in Parliament? Just take it! But they couldn't only take it. Oil as well as gas have been the skill of the states. So they needed to pass an Act of Parliament to legalize the bootleg takeover of state property."

Now, honest Datuk Seri, these have been really absolute statements which if wrong could land RPK in to the lot of trouble, substantially for treason. But if he is wrong, how come Putrajaya had not responded with the paint as well as cry about RPK being the liar or being seditious? Why? If it is loyal which Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu have been deceived as well as robbed in extended illumination by the make make use of of of the Petroleum Development Act, the action should be amended or repealed for causing us great misapplication as well as monetary losses for so many decades.

Najib's evidence which the direct for aloft oil kingship is not creation mercantile clarity is pure nonsense because, implicitly it is the oil, the God-given resource as well as was betrothed to be us in the Malaysian Agreement. If the Federal Government wants partial of it afterwards the reasonable percentage should be left for Sabah to capacitate it to develop itself, not take roughly everything as well as leave 5 percent back, which is only crumbs. And articulate about 5 percent, how most is it really? How do you know which what you have been removing is really 5 percent of only 1 percent given the Petronas comment inform is ostensible to be confidential?

In the statement published upon February 15, you had pronounced which with the 50 percent royalty, Sabah won't even need any more development allocation for the Federal Government, given you would afterwards be means additionally to take care of not only the earthy development though! the hea lth, education, as well as even confidence needs as well. We would be carrying revenues in the tens of billions per year, so given would you have to beg from Kuala Lumpur? We would afterwards be carrying an annual bill of RM20 billion instead of the current RM4 billion which the BN leaders have been job "a outrageous budget"! If the Federal Government is worried which it would remove the little of the revenues it is right away collecting, afterwards how about the fact which Sabah is right away really poor given Kuala Lumpur is robbing the resources as well as taxes? Remember, it is not the box of us receiving money from the Federal Government, though the box of the Federal Government robbing us of what righteously belongs to us.

We have been not articulate about oil kingship in siege though in the context of the rights of Sabah, Sarawak as well as Terengganu. So given is the Barisan Nasional so reluctant to give the aloft oil royalty? Why can't BN only say, "OK, you will additionally give you twenty percent kingship if you have been voted behind in to power"? Maybe there is only the single reason: BN doesn't want Sabah to swell as well most given if it is as well developed it will overtake the Peninsular as well as KL will no longer be means to treat it similar to the beggar.

SABAHAN 'CHEATED' BY PM NAJIB ON RCI ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

PM Hj Najib had only concluded his two days revisit to Sabah. Many expectancy were approaching to be voiced during his visit. The many crucial matter which many Sabahans as well as BN component parties solely UMNO had been the announcement of setting-up the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) upon the bootleg immigrant issue.

There was already the clarity by certain parties similar to STAR, which UMNO led BN sovereign supervision will avoid the setting-up of the RCI given the UMNO State supervision was means to disintegrate the afterwards PBS with the bootleg Muslim immigrants from Sulu, Philippines as well as Kalimantan, Indonesia. Named Project-M, this dubious scheme had increasing the Sabah race with bootleg immigrants as well as the big cut of UMNO choosing by casting votes base.

It was reported which during the eleventh hour, UMNO officials had met with PM Hj Najib to plead upon the RCI issue. Sabah UMNO fears which if this emanate is exposed Sabah will remove as well as will no longer be their "fixed deposit' as it is been claimed. Free Malaysia Today reported yesterday evening claiming which the secret assembly last night where UMNO warlords in Sabah convinced PM Hj Najib which the mostly Muslim legalised illegals had voted for BN in each consecutive elections as well as you can review more here.

To uncover his regard as well as to keep the Sabahans happy, PM Hj Najib had voiced which FREE HOUSING programme will be introduced where without the country Sabahans will be give homes free. This seems to be the UMNO domestic gimmick given the price of the house is approaching to be about RM60,000 (everything inclusive) the unit. PM Hj Najib seems which with this emanate been voiced it will tinge down the RCI issue, which each Sabahan had approaching which ! he would have voiced during his visit.

It seems the mental condition to see the setting-up of the RCI will never materialise of fright which this protected 'fixed-deposit' will be mislaid come this GE13.

Sabahans upon the pick palm will have to keep pressuring the UMNO sovereign supervision to settle the RCI upon bootleg immigrants if they wish Sabahans to continue to opinion them. Maybe an additional pick would be which if the Opposition come to energy during Putrajaya after GE13 they could be blessed with the RCI as well as their prolonged outstanding emanate upon bootleg immigrants could be resolved.

It will all be up to Sabahans to decide?

On Tajuddin Ramli's Affidavits

by Mat Zain Ibrahim

COMMENT: There's no disbelief which parties in any civil suits have a right to reach an out of court allotment on a terms as well as conditions agreed to by all those involved.

However, if a agreement in writing or by mutual understanding, includes a role of concealing any rapist or bootleg acts, or an movement which is not bootleg though completed by bootleg means, afterwards such an agreement is deemed a rapist conspiracy.

If it can be proven which a allotment agreement, reached in in in between Tajuddin Ramli (left) as well as multiform GLCs was additionally for a role of screening any parties from authorised punishment, or to suppress justification of rapist wrongdoings of any person, which in itself is a rapist act, afterwards such agreement falls inside of a definition of a rapist conspiracy.

It is vaporous whether a bootleg movement is a idealisation intent of such agreement,or is merely incidental to which object. Over as well as above that, no chairman or celebration have been allowed to introduce any fake justification or dubious facts or untrue inform in any judicial proceeding, be it civil or criminal.

Based on a countless inform in a open domain, Tajuddin Ramli is believed to have endorsed during slightest dual affidavits in a course of a proceedings.

Inner circle wheelings as well as dealings

In a first opposite claim, Tajuddin purported which in 1994 he was destined by afterwards budding minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad as well as Daim Zainuddin to buy a determining stake in Malaysia Airlines to bail out a government.

Tajuddin claimed which this purchase was a forced "national service",disguised as an ar! m's leng th blurb understanding given a supervision wanted to damp a investment village as well as a public.

Mahathir (right) has denied Tajuddin's allegations. Instead, Mahathir pronounced he knew which Tajuddin had paid for in to a company given a latter felt it was a great investment.

That Tajuddin would not have invested RM1.8 billion unless he could get a great return. Mahathir's denial can be found in pages 710-711 of his memoirs,"A Doctor in The House"published Mar 2011.

Until as well as unless Tajuddin is able to infer his averments, his confirmation can be taken to enclose fake affirmation.

In a second confirmation in Feb 2012,Tajuddin has cited Minister in PM's Department, Mohamed Nazri Aziz's minute dated Aug 8, 2011, as a gauge of a allotment by multiform government-linked corporations (GLCs) in a suit opposite him.

However, annals uncover which in a center of Aug 2011, Nazri had issued a open statement, firmly saying which his Aug 8 minute was usually "advice" as well as not a "directive".

Danger of personal assumptions

To date, Nazri has not retracted his matter in regard to a pronounced letter. Thus a status of a pronounced minute stays as an "advice" as well as not a directive. If Tajuddin were to insist which a pronounced minute was a directive, afterwards it was made formed on his own personal understand as well as assumption.

Benefit of a disbelief should be given to Nazri, given not usually is he a senior minister though some-more a bard of which pronounced letter, he should be in a better position to insist a role of which letter.

Until as well as unless Tajuddin is able to infer a pronounced minute is a "directive", afterwards this confirmation additionally can be taken to enclose dubious affirmation. we am of a perspective which until such time a since! rity of Tajuddin's affidavits have been determined, a single can presume which his bundles of papers in this matter have been tainted with illegality as well as falsity.

I am additionally of a perspective which a Attorney-General being a chief authorised advisor to a government, should have stepped in to intervene in this matter as well as to put on hold any allotment agreement to guarantee open interest given there have been clear indications which a little rapist acts as well as misrepresentations have been concerned in securing a settlement.

It is additionally obligatory on a Police to commence an immediate investigation on a dual affidavits. Furthermore it is in a most suitable interest of a Police to conduct a thorough investigations, in perspective of a actuality which a government of MAS themselves in their central inform to MACC in May, 2009, had purported collusion in in in between a Police as well as A-G's Chambers in a investigations of their military reports opposite Tajuddin, to a border of investigations being compromised.

Police should investigate

For which matte,r MAS did not hesitate to name a Senior Police Officer suspected to be involved. Should a investigations find Tajuddin had endorsed fake statements in a confirmation or in both a affidavits then, a suitable movement contingency be taken opposite him, irrespective of whether a allotment exercise is completed or aborted.

In a event Tajuddin is privileged of any wrongdoings, rapist or otherwise, afterwards a military should point their guns during a MAS government during which point in time for lodging multiform fake military reports.

Now which a case in in in between MAS as well as Tajudin have been postponed to May 10, 2012 gives a Police plenty time to demeanour in to Tajudin's affidavits! as well as to take a suitable actions.

After all, they usually need a integrate of days to demeanour in to a sincerity of both a documents.This postponement additionally gives a MAS government plenty time to relook as well as reconsider their position. They contingency realize which they were a ones who started a reports opposite Tajuddin given 2002.

Off Balance Sheet, Contingent Liabilities and Hidden Debts

Based upon the Government's Economic Report 2011/2 published final year, the Federal Government debt will strike RM455.7 billion as at the end of 2011. This was the 11.9% enlarge from RM407.1 billion incurred in 2010. Our debt levels have been increasing fast in new years compared to RM242 billion in 2006 as well as RM146 billion in 2002.

As it stands, the Federal Government debt has strike 53.8% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) compared to 53.1% in 2010 as well as 44.6% in 2006.

However, what is of larger concern is the Government "off-balance sheet" financing that isn't reported as Federal Government Debt. In new years, the Government has increasingly released debt writings around its orthodox bodies as well as corporatized entities. These loans have been obtain with guarantees provided by the Government, but have been not reflected as Federal Government borrowings.

In 2010, the "off-balance sheet" financing activities has strike the jot down high of RM96.9 billion in 2010, the 14.9% enlarge from RM84.3 billion in 2009. These have been loans that have been taken with the Government guarantee, that the Government is thankful to pay should the borrowers fail to settle the debts. As an example, if the Federal Territories Foundation is unable to pay off the proposed RM300 million loan from EPF to yield financing for the low-cost housing purchasers, then the Government will have to step in to have the RM300 million payment to EPF.

Hence for all intents as well as purposes, even yet these loans have been not taken by the Government, they have been essentially supervision debt or differently well known as fortuitous liabilities. Adding RM96.9 billion to the current debt of RM455.7 billion, the in effect debt that Malaysian tax-payers have been probable for is RM552.6 billion. This stretched figure would then consecrate 65.2% of the GDP, well upon top of the 55% sovereign supervision ! loan lim it as defined in the Loan (Local) Act 1959 as well as Government Funding Act 1983.

The list of orthodox bodies as well as corporate entities that have been since Government guarantees have been as per the list below. Based upon the list, there have been the little serious concerns over the performance or non-performance of these loans that will require bail outs by the Federal Government.

For example, the PTPTN as well as Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd owes RM17.0 billion (17.5%) as well as RM9.1 billion (9.4%) respectively as well as they have both been heavily criticized by the Auditor-General for their diseased monetary supervision as well as their inability to pay off their loans.

The list additionally includes Syarikat Penerbangan Malaysia Bhd (RM7.0 billion) that was set up to bail out Malaysian Airlines System (MAS); 1MDB (RM5.0 billion) that in turn lent nearly all its income to the questionable foreign company, PetroSaudi International Limited as well as Silterra Bhd (RM1.0 billion) that has made some-more than RM2 billion in losses to date.

What is interesting is additionally the actuality that loans of Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary-owned Port of Tanjong Pelepas (PTP) additionally received monetary guarantees from the Government. PTP's "guaranteed" loans have in actuality increased from RM715 million in 2009 to RM1.275 billion in 2010.

Expert testimonies in 2009 in the United Kingdom Parliament has heavily criticized Government guarantees to orthodox bodies, government-linked companies or "private-finance initiatives" as an attempt to hide real debt levels in order! to gras p better credit ratings. Professor Dieter Helm of Oxford University said that such initiatives had succeeded as "an exercise to get investment off the open change piece so that the debt numbers demeanour better than they differently would have done." The Greek monetary predicament has similarly unraveled as the outcome of hidden fortuitous liabilities not reflected as official supervision debt or reported in its change sheet.

For the start the BN supervision contingency simulate all its guarantees as well as fortuitous liabilities in the annual Economic Report as well as Budget to be debated in Parliament as well as it contingency levy measures to delayed down the rate of expansion of Malaysia's debt levels. Malaysia shou! ld not w ait for the vital monetary predicament of Greek proportions before attempting to reform the open sector finance. At the gait that the debts have been increasing, we have been accelerating uncontrolled into the monetary disaster. - tonypuablog

They spared your li! fe becau ! se you w ere cute as good as harmless as good as posed no threat to them (even pirates contingency have a small deceptive memory of almost-forgotten tellurian feelings). In fact, a bandit aristocrat saw which you were destined to freshness in to a loyal beauty as good as fancied he could acquire stately standing by marrying you once you were of age.

In alternative words, you grew up meaningful no alternative authority apart from this rope of brigands who began to dress utterly good as good as were shortly means to pass themselves off as "respectable folk." Nobody dared inform you who your genuine relatives were as good as as time passed you came to regard a bandit aristocrat as a dear uncle as good as trusted him implicitly. After all, he did retain a arrange of fashionable appeal as good as was essentially utterly a crafty chap (though a small competence call it "rat cunning"). He told you stories about how he had heroically rescued you from a immorality clutches of an hobgoblin as good as right away you due your life to him as good as were duty-bound to wed him.

One day, walking by a forest, you possibility upon a usual lodge as good as out of oddity confirm to find out who lives there. As you approach a cottage, a front door swings open as good as a smiling aged male steps out to offer you a crater of tea. You accept as good as shortly find yourself intent in deep conversation with this puzzling hermit of a woods, who reveals a law of what happened to a land when you were only a newly born.

The aged male shares with you a secret which perpetually changes your destiny. He was a loyal adviser to your biological parents, a King as good as Queen of this land, who were rigourously murdered by a marauders. He managed to escape a electrocute as good as fled to ! a forest along with a handful of others who have prolonged awaited a day you were aged sufficient to order a land as a legitimate Queen. For y! ears thi s rope of survivors have lived in dark caves, forgetful of a day when they would be crafty sufficient to reclaim a land as good as acquit it from bandit dominion. He concludes by asking you if you have been ready to take your place as a personality of these loyal patriots who desire to see a finish of bandit misrule as good as justice restored.


Now, this is your stream dilemma, Lisa. Having known no alternative form of supervision apart from a piratic (and parasitic), can you remember what loyal caring is all about? Pull a nap from your eyes as good as you will see which for decades a Barisan Nasional has attracted mostly those seek to inflate as good as enrich themselves during a expense of a land as good as of a people. They caring small for a sufferings of a usual folk as good as even reduction for a health as good as contentment of a land itself, carrying hereditary a covetous tendencies of their bandit ancestors who accepted usually rape, ravaging as good as plunder.


In a name of greed, these self-serving parasites go upon to fall short a landscape by mining, logging as good as insensitive "development." They await those who share their own destructively uncreative urges - namely, ruthless businessmen with megalomaniacal tendencies - whilst suppressing, by barbarous as good as repressive laws, all those who desire to see a resources of a land equally as good as wisely shar! ed.
< br>In effect, dear Lisa, a uncomplicated unfolding you have outlined is a parable for a arrange of misgovernance you have been theme to upon this planet for large generations - a top-heavy Humpty-Dumpty arrange of energy structure wherein a most aggressive as good as pretentious amass a greatest amount of resources as good as afterwards ensue to hijack a processes of supervision around roughly comprehensive carry out of a mass media, education as good as monetary systems, even eremite institutions (I meanespecially!).

However, a time has come for those who truly love a land - as good as you mean Planet Earth - to reclaim a sovereign energy as unwavering individuals, liberating ourselves from generations of hereditary robotism (living a lives according to bureau defaults) as good as fatalism (believing it is a lot to humour in this "vale of tears").

We contingency think globally (nay, universally) as good as action locally. So in Malaysia a foremost duty as loyal patriots is to mislay Barisan Nasionalcompletelyfrom energy - because they have abused a energy entrusted them for too most generations.

In a most basic terms, BN contingency not retain carry out of a military force, a inhabitant purse, as good as a mass media. Those have been a mechanisms by which they have ruled us by fright as good as fervour - a absolute multiple of intimidation as good as bribery. Any population theme to such misgovernance eventually becomes infantilized, demoralized, ! as good as dehumanized.

Ultimately, you shall be incited in to a nation of! tellurian r obots whilst a energy as good as spirit have been vampirically burned out by an elite gang of demonically possessed humans abandoned of compassion as good as empathy... UNLESS you succeed in booting out these piratic as good as parasitic entities as good as replacing them with open-minded, outspoken leaders who honestly hold which being a open servant means precisely which - you offer a public, not private interests!

There isn't a single individual in Umno/BN you can name as somebody you love, apply oneself as good as trust.

On a alternative hand, there have been most in a various component parties of Pakatan Rakyat you wholeheartedly extol as good as await in their candidacy to lead as good as govern. Among these you would unhesitatingly name Anwar Ibrahim, Wan Azizah, Mat Sabu, Azmin Ali, Syed Husin Ali, Sivarasa Rasiah, Tian Chua, Chegu Bard, Elizabeth Wong, Khalid Ibrahim, Guan Eng as good as Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, Teresa Kok, Teo Nie Ching, Charles Santiago, Tony Pua, Hannah Yeoh, Tok Guru Nik Aziz, Abdul Hadi Awang, Husam Musa, Mohammad Nizar, Mohd Prasad Hanif, Dr Nasir Hashim, Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj, as good as S. Arutchelvan (I may have omitted a couple of others though these have been a ones which rught away spring to mind).

Apart from a professional politicians, you right away have a Barisan Rakyat - a lax bloc of open intellectuals as good as loyal patriots led by zero alternative thanRaja Petra Kamarudinconsisting of popular total (mostly bloggers as good as columnists) likeHaris Ibrahim,Bern! ard Kho o,Malik Imtiaz Sarwar,Art HarunandAzmi Sharom; as good as politically aware citizens similar to Vijay Kumar Murugavell,Duke Cheng,Ee Chia,Danny Chua, Boom as good as Rodi, as good as large others (including myself). And, don't forget, there have been superb domestic total likeZaid IbrahimandDin Mericanwho will certainly play a significant role in reshaping a brand brand new Malaysia once a nation is giveaway of this stubborn as good as debilitating mildew called BN.

Lisa, a usually people who will be terribly dissapoint when BN loses carry out of a military as good as Petronas have been an overfed coterie of fat-cat capitalists who have enjoyed some-more than thirty years of monopolistic entrance to a nation's resources as good as established huge empires based upon domestic patronage. The efficient managers amongst them will be means to adapt as good as go upon you do good underneath a brand brand new supervision - so prolonged as they honestly offer a open good. Those who have corruptly done their money as crony rent-seekers will either be allowed to retire in comfort (if they present a fair portion of their ill-gotten gains to charity) or face a therapeutic spell in prison.


When Pakatan Rakyat takes over as government, it will not exactly be a one-party management. Since Anwar invited DAP as good as PAS to join PKR as next to partners, there will effectively be during! slighte st 3 different domestic ideologies - most some-more if you include a couple of eccentric parties from Sabah as good as Sarawak, plus a remains of Gerakan as good as PPP - operative together (preferably in undiluted peace as good as hopefully with minimal friction) towards a single usual idea - a rescue of Malaysia from a mercantile as good as reliable doldrums as good as a creation of a healthy inhabitant ethos in which every adult regardless of skin color, culinary preferences as good as creed can during final feel a clarity of belonging - as good as thus a clarity of authentic pride.

It remains to be seen whether Umno will survive as a Opposition. Without a conservative as good as dangerousKetuanan Melayuagenda - as good as unexpected deprived of a possibility to carry upon robbing a nation - these descendants of pirates will roughly certainly disintegrate as a domestic party. Those people amongst them with any intelligence as good as ability whatsoever will swiftly comprehend which a equine is DEAD - kaput, finito, lapsed - as good as ensue upon feet till they strech a subsequent oasis where they will rest as good as reassess their lives and,insyallah, come to their senses as good as turn decent tellurian beings.

No, Lisa, you do not wish Malaysia to turn similar to America or Britain where a apparition of democracy, not a genuine thing, prevails. We do not wish a Tweedledum as good as Tweedledee sort of two-party complement (like a Donkey as good as Elephant parties or a Tories as good ! as Whigs ). In fact, you do not wish to be obsessed with supervision as good as governing body any longer than you need!

What you wish is a clean, efficient administration which will work sensitively as good as with minimal histrionics to safeguard which bland life only keeps removing easier as good as pleasanter for some-more as good as some-more of a population. Ultimately, a supervision of a nation ought to be only similar to a plumbing in your house - you do not wish to be distracted by it or even notice it. A properly designed plumbing complement carries out a functions unobtrusively, but complaint, as good as with negligible upkeep problems. Indeed, a plumbing in a well-built house ought to final during slightest a hundred years!


With supervision out of a way as good as internalized, you will during prolonged final turn a nation of self-governing people with zero to stop us from each fulfilling a loyal destinies as giveaway citizens as good as achieving a limit potential as elaborating humans.

And, take my word for it, Lisa dear. It's NOT going to take an additional dual generations. Perhaps dual conditions underneath a new, cordial government!
