I'm not Muslim, what's
wrong with me drinking?...
Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Tiong King Sing this afternoon censured an opposition MP for making an issue of him consuming alcoholic beverages.Tiong said MPs should focus on helping the country develop its economy instead of raising issues that can disturb peace and harmony.
He also asked Mas Ermieyati Samsudin (PN-Masjid Tanah) whether it is wrong for a non-Muslim to drink since they are not prohibited from doing so.
"As MPs, we should work hard to find opportunities to develop our nation's economy instead of making issues out of nothing. "For example, Masjid Tanah raised an issue about me getting drunk, that I drank alcohol. I am not Muslim, what is wrong with me drinking?” he said during the winding-up session for the Budget 2024 debate at the Dewan Rakyat.
"When I went to Pelangai (in Bentong, Pahang), I was invited to participate in a lantern festival where I drank and acted a bit foolish while playing (lantern) with kids at the event. "This was part of Chinese culture. What is wrong with that?" he added.
Two weeks ago, Mas Ermieyati (below) raised the issue of Tiong dancing and drinking in public, where she sarcastically questioned if it was the minister's unique way of promoting Malaysia to attract tourists.
What people do in their private lives should not be your concern. I am sure you are doing a lot of personal things that you don't want anyone to know or bring it up during Parliament session. Right now our nation needs proper leadership very badly so that we can progress in the proper direction. - Darkmakochi
Nothing wrong in enjoying a nice alcoholic beverage. Intoxicated under the influence of alcohol and crossing the line is wrong.But you know what is more more more wrong ? Stealing from the RAKYAT, protecting corrupt leaders under the name of ummah, sexually abusing underage girls within the family and most importantly putting up a religious cleric show. - ADE007
It does not mean you cannot drink alcohol and the non-Muslims must follow the same.It is the non-Muslims right whether to drink alcohol or not to drink.Stop being a busybody and do your work as a Minister. - Very Concerned Citizen
Syabas Bintulu,Masjid Tanah apa pasal mahu jaga tapi kain orang. Ada perkara yang lebih penting dari sentoh tingka laku orang contoh macam mahu meningkat ekonomi negara. Lagi kita sebagai rakyat patut hormat satu sama lain supayah boleh hidup aman dan hormoni. - wongsiang1133
PN MPs backing Anwar vs
anti-hopping law: What now?...
The move by two Perikatan Nasional MPs to declare support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has raised questions about how the country's anti-hopping mechanisms function and whether it is effective. This comes as the anti-hopping provisions under the Federal Constitution, an MP does not automatically lose their seat for simply backing a prime minister that is not from their party.
Under Article 49A, an MP who was elected as a member of a party will only lose their seat if they stop being a member of that party. However, MPs who are sacked from their parties, are exempted from losing their seat.
This was affirmed by former law minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar when the anti-hopping provisions were debated in Parliament in July 2022. "An MP who gives his or her support to another party is not considered as party hopping. This is because the MP is still a member of his or her political party," he was reported as saying.
This is the case with Kuala Kangsar MP Iskandar Dzulkarnain Abdul Khalid and Labuan MP Suhaili Abdul Rahman, who both announced support for Anwar - who is from PKR - without quitting Bersatu. Both said that they support Anwar in order to get allocations to help their constituencies.
Some parties have moved to plug this loophole by amending their party constitution, in which a rogue MP who goes against the party is considered to have "resigned" - thus triggering the anti-hopping act.
However, Bersatu has not introduced such a clause into the party's rules yet. Even if it did, there are questions about whether such a clause would hold up if brought to court, and whether "automatic resignation" is not considered expulsion.
What this means is that even if Bersatu took disciplinary action or sacked Iskandar and Suhaili - who is a party supreme council member - they would remain lawmakers. There is also no remedy for voters who supported the duo.
For this, the country would have to introduce recall elections, which would allow voters to initiate action to trigger a by-election.
It is of note PN won with less than 50 percent of votes in both Kuala Kangsar (40.2 percent) and Labuan (28.6 percent) due to quirks in the first-past-the-post electoral system. - mk
Siapa PM selepas Anwar Ibrahim?...
Secara peribadi cita-cita saya untuk melihat Anwar Ibrahim jadi PM telah tercapai. Beliau kini jadi PM sudah lebih dari satu hari, sudah 10 bulan. Terserah kepada rakyat apakah beliau akan jadi PM berapa lama.
Rata-rata mengharap beliau akan jadi PM sehingga habis parlimen ke 15. Ada juga yang mengharap beliau akan jadi PM sampai ke tahun 2028. Tempoh itu adalah cocok untuk melihat dan menguji kemampuannya memimpin negara. Jika dalam sepenggal beliau dapat membuktikan kemampuan dan komitmen terhadap idealismenya, tidak mustahil ia boleh terus jadi PM sampai 2030. Ketika itu usianya sudah 83 tahun, dikira masih ada kekuatan. Usia sebegitu tiada masalah sekiranya semua pihak mendokongnya.
Sebaliknya kalau selepas sepenggal beliau gagal membawa negara seperti mana dirancang, dilaung dan diangan-angankan selama ini, tidak perlu beliau diberi masa panjang untuk jadi PM sehingga selepas tahun 2028. Kegagalan Anwar hari ini ialah untuk menyakinkan pembangkang dengan idealismenya.
Kalau sepenggal menjadi PM, saya rasa Anwar sendiri sudah berpuas hati apabila beliau sudah jadi perdana menteri sebagai melengkapi bingkai politiknya. Yang penting beliau sudah menjabat jawatan itu, suatu kesempurnaan hidupnya dalam politik.
Suka atau tidak suka, lama atau sekejap Anwar jadi PM, masyarakat akan melihat dan mencari siapa yang akan jadi PM selepas beliau nanti. Yang perlu kita lihat dan cari sekarang ini siapakah tokoh selepas Anwar nanti.
Apakah tokoh itu datang dari Keadilan, atau Umno atau pun parti pembangkang, Pas, atau Bersatu. Ataupun apakah Perdana Menteri nanti datang dari Sabah dan Sarawak. Kita akan cuba menilai dan tilik seorang demi seorang sosok atau tokoh-tokoh politik muda yang ada hari ini, khasnya yang berumur di bawah 60 tahun dari semua parti politik yang mempunyai potensi dan peluang jadi perdana menteri selepas Anwar. - MSO
Order lain,sampai lain...
Ventilator order jenama lain yg sampai jenama lain. Sampai pula jenis cap ayam tu yg senang rosak agaknya.Hari ini juga wang rakyat Malaysia lebur lebih RM 500 juta kerana pembelian vaksin telah tamat tempoh.
Isu yg patut ditanya Shahril kpd KJ yg sentiasa dia sahaja yg betul. Sebab itu saya pilih Shahril Hamdan utk bersama kerajaan perpaduan dan bukan KJ. Saya pun berharap sgt agar SPRM lipat ganda kerja mereka sb dah nak masuk setahun kerajaan perpaduan…
Apapun nilai RM 505 juta percayalah tidak memberi apa2 kesan pada org Melayu. Yg mereka bicara Dap halang solidariti Palestin bawa replika senjata. Yg hairan bin ajaib tu kenapa Gerakan dan MCA tak setuju isu yg sama org Melayu tak marah??? Nampak sgt hipokrit!… Tunggang agama selagi boleh. - Norman Radzuan
