Kabinet baru adalah kabinet 1MBD...

Bila DAP menimbulkan isu ini ( 1MDB ), nampak macam tidak ada perhatian dari pihak kita. Tapi bila Tun Dr Mahathir lihat isu ini, dia kaji dan dia tahu isu ini boleh bawa mudarat kepada negara kita.
 
Beza antara Tony Phua dengan Tun Mahathir .... Tony Phua timbulkan isu ini untuk mengalahkan BN dalam Pilihanraya. Tun Mahathir nampak, cara ini memang boleh mengalahkan kita, kecuali kita sendiri ambil masalah ini dan selesaikan.

Kita diminta sabar dan tunggu siasatan dan laporan dari PAC dan Petugas Khas, rakyat tertunggu2 dan tertanya2 .... tiba2 orang yang duk selidik ini, sebahagian daripadanya yang ada dalam PAC dah naik pangkat jadi timbalan Menteri.

Sebenarnya kerja dalam PAC ini, saya rasa lebih penting dari kerja Timbalan Menteri !

Orang yang tengah duk buat kerja secara aktif dalam PAC, 4 orang paling aktif dalam PAC ini telah dinaikkan pangkat jadi Timbalan Menteri ..lumpuhlah PAC.

....yang dah berhenti kena digantikan dulu ... jadi ini memerlukan masa lagi. 

...Pasukan Petugas pula, sorang dah kena berhenti pasal sakit. Patutnya orang yang sakit tu minta berhenti tapi ini tidak. Orang yang dikatakan dah lama sakit ni tak minta berhenti pun, dia nak menyelesaikan tugasnya, tiba2 dia diberhentikan. Itu kan jadi tandatanya.

,,,,, hasil dari penyelidikan (siasatan) ini, dah ada tangkapan ... dan ada yang nak ditangkap dah lari. Rakyat tertanya2, dunia pun dah tertanya2. Kawan2 saya dari luarnegeri yang duk ikut ( semua perkembangan negara kita ) pun heran - Kenapa orang kerana dah ada tindakan dari Pasukan Petugas .... tiba2 ada pemecatan.

..... saya rasa apa yang Tan Sri Muhyiddin kata tu tidak ada yang sensitif. Apa yang Tan Sri Muhyuddin kata itu perkara biasa. Yang orang duk cakap hari2 dah.  Muhyiddin tunjukkan patutnya begini, patutnya begitu .... tiba2 dia di pecat.

.... saya tak fikir dia dipecat kerana ucapan itu. Saya fikir ucapan itu adalah sebab terakhir. Kerana nak siapkan senarai nak lantik kabinet baru ni makan masa.

... yang jelas orang2 yang dilantik dalam kabinet baru itu adalah orang2 yang bersuara menghentam Dr Mahathir. Seolah2 kabinet ini kabinet 1MDB ! Kabinet untuk mempertahankan 1MDB. Kabinet untuk menutup segala usaha untuk mendedahkan 1MDB.

Masalahnya masih belum selesai. Bunga pinjaman bank jalan terus. Pelaburan yang tak menguntungkan jalan terus.Modal bank terpaksa jalan terus..... Apa nak jadi kepada negara ini ? - dinturtle

Ex-MB pans new line-up, calls it 1MDB cabinet...

Former Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Junid has given the thumbs down for Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's new cabinet line-up.

"It is clear that those appointed into the cabinet were those vocal in condemning former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

"This is as though it is a 1MDB cabinet. A cabinet to defend 1MDB. A cabinet to trivialise and cover-up all the efforts to expose 1MDB," he alleged in a Youtube video(above).

The former Umno secretary-general believes Muhyiddin Yassin's speech at the Cheras Umno annual assembly was not the main reason for him to be dropped as deputy prime minister.

"I don't think he was sacked because of the speech. I think the speech was the last reason as it takes time to do research to complete a cabinet line-up," he said.

Both Muhyddin and Shafie Apdal were dropped by cabinet last Tuesday, following critical remarks made by the duo on 1MDB.

PAC been paralysed
 
On July 26, Muhyiddin made a speech where he claimed his advice for Najib to step down as 1MDB advisory board chairperson was ignored and that Umno's electoral prospects were gloomy.
 
Sanusi said there was nothing sensitive about Muhyiddin's speech as he raised what was routinely spoken about by the public.

"The problems surrounding 1MDB have yet to be solved. The interest of bank loans continues. The unprofitable investments are ongoing. What is going to happen to our country?" asked Sanusi.

"The world is criticising us. We feel ashamed to go abroad. The youths cannot explain the matter which they don't understand. My friend from abroad asked me, why is it as though there is madness in the country," he said.

The former Umno strongman also criticised the appointment of Public Accounts Committees (PAC) president Nur Jazlan Mohamad and three members as minister and deputy minister.

The move has "paralysed" PAC, he said, referring to the adjournment of PAC's hearing into 1MDB fiasco following the cabinet reshuffle.

Gani's sacking is suspicious
 
Nur Jazlan, the ex-chairperson of PAC was appointed as Deputy Home Minister. The other three are Wilfred Madius Tangau, Reezal Merican Naina Merican and Mas Ermieyati Samsudin.

"I felt that the PAC's work is more important than deputy minister's work," opined Sanusi, who served as cabinet minister during 1981 to 1995.

"During my time, the deputy ministers (were empowered to) act as ministers whenever the latter were sick, on leave and abroad," said Sanusi.

However, deputy minister's today are limited to asnwering questions in Parliament and doing public relation works.

On the sudden termination of Abdul Gani Patail as attorney-general, Sanusi said the reasons given by the government were questionable.

"A member of the special task force was terminated for sickness. The person who is said to be sick for a long time, should had resigned himself, but he wanted to complete his duty. This has became a question," he said.

He added that Mahathir's continued effort to speak on 1MDB  was different from what the opposition was doing.

"The differences between DAP lawmaker Tony Pua and Mahathir, was the former raised the issue to defeat BN in election, while Mahathir noted this can cause (BN's) defeat unless we correct the problems," he said. - mk

The UMNO mad dogs are out walking under the scorching sun...

The UMNO mad dogs are scrambling to justify why the money totaling don’t know how many billions (RM2.7 billion from Middle East sources and RM42 million from SRC and many other sources yet to be discovered ended into Najib’s account.

Where did the money come from? from middle east sources. how much? big amount. how much? 

USD 700 million. why did you keep in your personal account? Because Rahman Dahalan said can. Azalina can help bitch about it later. The money trail shouldn’t be explained by the likes of Rahman Dahalan or Azalina Othman. 

How the money escaped the BNM radar should be explained by Bank Negara. Where the money went when it came into Malaysia should be explained by BNM and also the bank concerned.  If some went out again, why did it escape the BNM radar once again?

Did Zeti approved the entry and exit of the monies? Or was she overrode by the PM who is also finance minister? That is already a legal wrongdoing.

If Rahman Dahalan were to speak only to DAP members and politicians who were never an UMNO member, he may be forgiven for his latest bald headed lie. That the UMNO president can hold money on trust for UMNO.

Mana ada?

I looked through the UMNO constitution and couldn’t find the provision that accorded the UMNO president of such right. UMNO will never trust anyone holding money in their personal name for or on behalf of UMNO. Dumb UMNO also knows that money in your own pocket is your friend, money outside your pocket is your enemy.

All money meant for UMNO must be kept by the treasurer and any money spent from UMNO’s account must be approved by appointed officers. All money is held in UMNO’s account with a commercial bank.

Now when Rahman Dahalan speaks of a provision according the UMNO president holding money on trust for UMNO, he confirms that the RM2.7 billion and the RM42 million from SRC had in fact, been deposited into Najib’s personal account.

27.4 Majlis Tertinggi berkuasa membuat peraturan untuk melaksanakan tujuan Fasal 27 ini dan untuk memindahkan nama pemilik berdaftar bagi harta tersebut kepada oihak-pihak yang diberi kuasa memilikinya oleh Fasal 27.1.
 
Anyone can peruse and study the provisions in articles 24-27 in the UMNO constitution. There is a remote possibility that the UMNO Supreme council could have approved a special authority on the UMNO president.  If that was done, then it could only mean that during such a meeting, cry-baby Muhyidin ( I love UMNO so much) was not around. Najib doesn’t care two hoots about Muhyidin’s emotional display in Paguh. When it came to approving the minutes of the previous meeting, Muhyidin was again absent.

 

 

Now comes what appears like a  bitch in heat Azalina saying the RM2.7 billion shouldn’t be treated as a big issue and ought to be treated as a mere contribution and donation from some sources.

Ahli UMNO can support such characters to champion the cause of the Malays? I am not talking about UMNO Malays but all Malays as whole. Is the Malay a conniving, cheating and unprincipled person and a common thief?

There is a provision that says the sources of UMNO’s income are the members’ fee, which is almost always paid for by the local warlords on behalf of the faceless members; contributions and donations and any other efforts to raise income approved by Supreme Council or its equivalent down the line. There is no provision that money can be held on trust by the UMNO president in his personal capacity.

Whodunit? Najib did it.

Who shot the robin? I said the sparrow. With my bow and arrow, I shot the robin.

Najib is no sparrow. He neither has a bow, arrow or a Bugis Keris. - Mohd.Ariff Sabri bin Hj. Abdul Aziz@sakmongkol ak47

Possible MH370 debris coming in since May...

Debris that might be from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had been spotted at Reunion Island since May according to beach cleaner Nicolas Ferrier.

He said he spotted a blue seat in early May but did not think it was of any importance.

"It wasn't until Wednesday that it hit me what it could have been. It was probably part of that plane," Ferrier said, as reported by The Telegraph yesterday.

On Thursday, a piece of a wing was found washed up on the coast of Reunion Island, an island on the east of the Indian Ocean.

Investigators scrambled to inspect the aircraft piece, with the Malaysian Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi saying it is "almost certain" that the piece was from a Boeing 777, the same model as Flight MH370.

They had also found a badly-damaged suitcase close to where the plane debris was found.

Ferrier said that in May, he had also found some suitcases washed ashore, but again did not realise their significance.

"I found a couple of suitcases too, around the same time, full of things.

"I burnt them. That's my job. I collect rubbish and burn it. I could have found many things that belonged to the plane and burnt them, without realising," he added.

Even the part of the wing that washed up had been spotted by Ferrier in May before, though it was crusted with barnacles then.

When it washed ashore again on Thursday, the barnacles were dead.

"Like the seat, I didn't know what it was. I sat on it. I was fishing for macabi (bonefish) and used it as a table. I really didn't pay it much attention, until I saw it on the news," he said.

He said he did not report seeing these items in May because he worked alone, unlike the team of beach cleaners who found the wing on Thursday.

"Even now I can't quite understand it. For me, it was something totally normal. I see it all the time.

"I can't really say if it was the first time or the last time I saw bits like that, because I never pay attention. From now on, I will look more closely," he said.

The piece of wing had been transported to France for investigators to analyse more closely.

Discovery of the debris may finally confirm that the plane crashed into the sea, after 16 months of futile searching.

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai had said on Saturday that more Malaysian officials will be going to Reunion to look for more debris.

Ferrier thinks they might be successful.

"There was a lot of evidence on the beach (in May). But the sea took it away. I think they'll find more though.

"I've seen quite a lot, and I wasn't even looking," he said. - mk

MH370: Pintu Pesawat Ditemui Terdampar...

Sebuah objek yang dipercayai pintu pesawat milik pesawat penerbangan Malaysia  (MAS), MH370 dijumpai terdampar di Pulau Reunion, dekat Perancis di sini hari ini.

Perkara tersebut dimaklumkan oleh sumber terdekat kepada portal berita antarabangsa, Sky News sebentar tadi.

Menurut wartawan Sky News, David Bowden, objek tersebut ditemui terdampar di lokasi berbeza dengan penemuan sayap pesawat beberapa hari lalu yang kini sedang menjalani ujian di Perancis.

Sebelum ini, seorang pakar penerbangan Perancis, Xavier Tytelman mendakwa telah menemui serpihan milik pesawat MAS yang hilang pada Mac, tahun lalu selepas dihubungi oleh seorang penduduk tempatan.

Susulan itu, satu pasukan khas telah dihantar untuk mengesahkan penemuan serpihan berkenaan.

Dalam perkembangan yang lain, Timbalan Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi seperti dilapor Sinar Harian Online kelmarin mengesahkan bahawa bahagian sayap atau 'flaperon' yang ditemui di Pulau Reunion adalah sah milik pesawat jenis Boeing 777. - md

MH370 : 'The door' found on Reunion...

A second piece of suspected plane debris has washed ashore on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, after a wing part suspected to come from the missing flight MH370 was found on Wednesday.

The object, believed to be the door of an aircraft, was discovered just south of the city of St Denis.
It is said to have writing on it and possibly some illustration.

The Malaysia Airlines plane from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared last March with 239 people on board.

The first piece of wreckage has gone to France, where investigators in the city of Toulouse will seek to establish if it came from MH370.

It is believed to be a wing flap from a Boeing 777 - the same type of aircraft as the one that vanished.

Fragments of a suitcase found on the same beach in St Andre are also to be examined.

Investigators will begin work this Wednesday.

An Australian-led search effort for the plane has been focused on a vast area of the southern Indian Ocean about 4,000km (2,500 miles) to the east of Reunion.

Authorities believe MH370 veered off course on the way to Beijing and crashed into the sea - but they do not know why.

Its estimated last location was based on "pings" sent from the aircraft that were detected by satellite.

However, no physical trace has been found.- bbc.com.news

Penduduk Pulau Reunion tak sedar MH370 terhempas di situ...

Oleh kerana gua masih mempercayai teori MH370 dirampas dan bukan terhempas seperti didakwa banyak pihak, gua cari asas untuk membuktikan bahawa penemuan terkini serpihan dan barangan penumpang yang didakwa dari MH370 adalah suatu yang dirancang rapi.

Perkara pertama yang berlegar dalam otak gua ialah kewujudan penduduk Pulau Reunion. Carian google mendapat Pulau Reunion adalah sebuah pulau yang berpenghuni seramai 843,617 orang menurut statistik 2015.

Diandaikan bahawa penimgkatan penduduk dalam setahun adalah 10% maka bermakna pada waktu MH370 didawa terhempas di situ terdapat 758 ribu penduduk.

Persoalan pertama yang wujud dalam pemikiran gua, mungkinkah MH370 terhempas tanpa mengeluarkan bunyi sehingga tiada seorangpun penduduk Pulau Reunion menyedari kejadian?

Jika terhempas di laut?

Lihatlah demografi Pulau Reunion. Sebahagian besar Pulau itu dipenuhi gunung berapi. Penduduk tinggal di kawasan pinggir pantai. Maka tiadakah nelayan?

 

Pengkalan tentera udara Perancis

Penkalan tentera udara Perancis berada di sebelah lapangan terbang St Denis, Pulau Reunion. Pengkalan tentera udara Perancis tak ada radar ke?

Jarak antara Diegi Garcia dengan Pulau adalah 1149 batu. Satu jarak yang sangat memungkinkan serpihan MH370 disebar Tentera Laut Amerika bagi menutup perbuatan jenayah negara mereka terhadap kemanusiaan. 

 

Teori bahawa MH370 dileraikan di Diego Garcia adalah sangat praktikal kerana tiada siapa dapat menyiasat kepulauan tersebut walaupun Tentera Laut China cuba menggunakan teknologi jarak jauhnya semasa mencari MH370 di kepulauan India Timur.

Satu tahun lima bulan kemudian muncul cerita penemuan serpihan MH370 di pula itu. Dari mana datangnya serpihan-serpihan tersebut?

Mungkinkah dihantar manusia menggunakan kapal perang atau kapal dagang bagi menamatkan teka teki dan menutup sebarang teori penglibatan penguasa beberapa negara dalam skandal rampasan kapal terbang paling unik ini.

Beberapa peristiwa pelik yang ditimbulkan sebelum ini memang tak masuk akal

1. Radar TUDM tak dapat kesan MH370 kononnya kerana pegawai bertugas alpa
2. Pertukaran juruterbang pada saat akhir
3. Siasatan ke rumah juruterbang kononnya juruterbang melarikan MH370
4. Boeng tidak dapat mengesan pesawatnya sendiri.

Dan banyak lagi perkara menunjukkan ada sesuatu yang dirahsiakan daripada pengetahuan umum.

Suatu yang dapat membuktikan MH370 terhempas di situ adalah penemuan badan induk MH370 itu sendiri.. Jika hanya bukti-bukti kecil seperti disebarkan media antarabangsa tidak mencukupi untuk mempengaruhi masyarakat dunia akan kebenaran MH370 terhempas di situ.

Berhentilah main game. Kembalikan penumpang MH370 yang tak berdosa kepada keluarga mereka. - gendang perang@lusuka.com

Najib sendiri kata -

"Ini bukan duit rakyat"  - tmi
 
Apa perasaan anda bila baca ayat di atas ? Ada tak macam ni - Ooooooo ..... patutlah 1MDB  diorang buat macam duit mak bapak diorang punya !!  Bila rakyat tanya2, diorang marah balik. 

Sebab dalam fikiran diorang, rakyat takde hak nak ambil tahu, sebab itu BUKAN DUIT RAKYAT 

Serius beb, ikut hati memang nak maki jer ni ..... tapi takut admin blog ini tak lepaskan pulak.  Ayat satu baris pendek itu saja sudah cukup untuk menjelaskan SEGALAnya tentang kemelut 1MDB, tentang kenapa Najib dan 1MDB tidak pernah merasakan keperluan untuk menjawab dengan jelas segala persoalan yang di ajukan tentang pengurusan kewangan 1MDB.

Najib turut menyalahkan pengkritik yang menggagalkan penyenaraian IPO 1MDB seterusnya menyebabkan wujudnya ketidaksepadanan yang menyebabkan masalah aliran tunai.

Tak sia2 juga Najib lantik Zahid gantikan tempat Muhyiddin sebagai TPM. Pantas Zahid pun back up sama !

Dari Malaymailonline -

1MDB didn't use the government's money or allocations. A lot of the deals are between lender and borrower, so in this case, here will definitely be repayments and a payment schedule must be made.

1MDB tidak pakai duit atau peruntukan kerajaan.

Bagi saya, senang je - Apa saja yang berkaitan dengan kerajaan, maknanya ada kaitan dengan rakyat. 1MDB milik penuh kerajaan, bermakna ia milik penuh rakyat.

Jika 1MDB kantoi hutang, siapa yang kena bayar hutang ? Apakah Najib nak kata yang pemberi hutang terpaksa lupakan hutang itu begitu saja ? Bukankah kerajaan juga yang akan tanggung ?

Kerajaan dapat duit nak gantikan hutang itu dari mana ? Kalaupun kerajaan banyak duit, hak siapa duit itu ? Kerajaan sekadar pegang amanah dari rakyat jer untuk uruskan duit itu. Banyak lagi yang boleh digunakan duit kerajaan itu demi rakyat daripada dibelanja hanguskan atas nama 1MDB !

Itu hujah berkait, bagaimana pula hujah yang direct - RM950 juta standby kredit yang diberikan kepada 1MDB itu apa? - din turtle

cky - It's people's debt because the MOF borrowed the money and stood guarantor. It is not under your personal name. Only that money went into your personal accounts. Any answer? How to explain? In the first place,why the MOF borrowed this money to do "business" when it is not its business to be involved in this business. 

Pill10 - 1MDB is owned by the Ministry of Finance and thus the Government. No other shareholders. Most of 1MDB's borrowings are guaranteed by the Government in one way or another. It is only legally or otherwise sensible to say it is funded by Malaysian taxpayers or rakyat. How did Najib arrive at a different conclusion. Baffles me that we have such a PM.
 

Calling 40 MPs from BN for a new coalition gov't...

Will there be some 20 Umno MPs and 20 BN MPs from Sabah and Sarawak prepared to join with some 80 MPs from DAP, PKR, and Gerakan Harapan Baru (GHB) to form a new coalition government with a new prime minister with new policies to save Malaysia from becoming a failed state?      

It is becoming a popular refrain from top government circles in the past few days alleging that there is an international conspiracy plotting to topple a serving prime minister by “criminalising” him, as if  the Najib government is preparing the ground for a new dragnet of arrests, using Section 124 of the Penal Code on the new-fangled crime of “activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy” which can send a person convicted for the offence to jail for up to 20 years.

The latest person to join in this government chorus is none other than the new attorney-general Mohamad Apandi Ali who, in his fourth day as the top law officer of the government early morning of July 31, dismissed the purported draft of a corruption charge sheet against the Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak by former attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail, published on whistleblower website Sarawak Report, as false.

Apandi went on to declare that the alleged draft corruption charge against Najib points to “a conspiracy to topple a serving prime minister by criminalising him” and warning “stern action against the perpetrators” as “the full force of the law will be applied without exception on any that are found guilty”.

In fact, more than a dozen names have been circulated in the social media in the past few days of persons from the press, parliament, the ‘special task force’ on 1MDB which is a multi-agency constituted by Bank Negara Malaysia, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, the Royal Malaysian Police, and the Attorney-General’s Chambers, alleging that they are going to be picked up in the crackdown on these plotters of the international conspiracy to “criminalise” Najib and to topple the elected prime minister of Malaysia – and it really surprises me that the inspector-general of police who have been issuing all sorts of warnings to various quarters in social media seems to be blissfully unaware of such sites and their activities.           

Brink of dark times

This is why in the past two days, I had specifically asked whether Malaysia is on the brink of a “new Dark Age” and another round of attacks on the independence, integrity, and professionalism of the national institutions which had suffered and had not fully recovered from the earlier round of attacks on the national institutions in the country.

The allegation that there is an international plot to topple the elected prime minister of Malaysia by violent or unconstitutional means is most far-fetched and ludicrous and exists only in the wild imaginations of those who want to concoct it to hatch a plot to remove Najib’s critics in the prime minister’s many scandals, and in particular the RM42 billion 1MDB scandal.      

If truth be told, there is not only no such international plot and conspiracy to topple the elected prime minister by violent or unconstitutional means, we in DAP, PKR, and GHB would prefer to have Najib lead Umno/Barisan Nasional into the 14th General Elections (GE14).

This is strictly from the party political point of view, for Najib would be the weakest prime minister the Umno/BN coalition could offer, with the volume of  political and financial scandals he is chalking up under his premiership, all of which overshadowed by the mammoth and monstrous RM42 billion 1MDB scandal – with 1MDB indisputably standing for “1Malaysia Disaster Bhd” or “1Malaysia Malapetaka Bhd”!

I cannot to speak about PAS as I have just read that the prime minister is singing praises for PAS president Hadi Awang for his understanding and sympathy for Najib over the 1MDB scandal!  

In fact, if there is a vote of no confidence in Najib as prime minister in Parliament, I would not be surprised if Hadi and his MPs would not vote in support of any such motion.

Happy for Najib to remain

From the purely selfish party political viewpoint, DAP, PKR and GHB MPs would be quite happy to see Najib continue as PM and lead the UMNO/BN coalition in GE14, and lead to Umno/BN coalition to defeat and the opposition benches - a prospect predicted by none other than former prime minister Mahathir.

Muhyiddin Yassin has been sacked as Deputy Prime Minister not only because he articulated grassroots concerns about the 1MDB scandal but his fear that Umno would lose if general elections are held now.

My old parliamentary pal, the former MP for Sri Gading who is now Johor State Assembly Speaker Mohamad Aziz, had publicly warned that the sacking of Muhyiddin as deputy prime minister and Shafie Apdal as minister for rural and regional development would destroy Umno.

He asked whether it was wrong for an Umno deputy president to talk about an issue that has been worrying the rakyat, posing the very pertinent question: “What is more important – 1MDB or the survival of Umno?”

The time has come for all Malaysians, including Umno leaders, activists, and members to go beyond the canvas and issues raised by Mohamad Aziz, and ask the bigger question: “What is more important – the survival of UMNO or the survival of the nation?”

Before I came to the dinner, I read of Umno Youth and Puteri leaders in Johor who have quit their posts in protest over Muhyiddin’s sacking, who felt that the top Umno leadership has deviated from the original struggles of the old leaders and that “those who speak the truth would be removed, and those who fight for the people would be fired".

Clearly, they have given their answers to the key question of the time: “What is more important – survival of Umno or survival of the nation?”

Not good for M'sia

While Najib would be the best choice for DAP, PKR, and GHB to lead Umno/BN in GE14, as it would likely be most advantageous to us politically if there is no change of Umno/BN leadership, this is not good for Malaysia as a whole as the nation is hurtling towards a failed state in 2020 and not a fully developed nation.

The 1MDB debacle raised questions about the government’s transparency and its ability to govern effectively, particularly when it comes to its own finances.

It is also bad for the investment climate and business environment in the country.

Malaysia is facing a number of substantial economic challenges, the ringgit tumbling to levels not seen since the Asian Financial Crisis, making it Asia’s worst-performing currency as well as a rout in commodity prices, particularly lower energy prices.

Will it be in Malaysia’s best interests if Malaysia’s crisis of confidence is  resolved beforeGE14 in another two years’ time.

Is this possible?      

This will depend on whether there are some 20 Umno MPs and 20 BN MPs from Sabah and Sarawak who are prepared to join with some 80 MPs from DAP, PKR and GHB to form a new coalition government with a new prime minister with new policies so save Malaysia from becoming a failed state.

DAP has 38 MPs, PKR 29, and assuming GHB can muster 10 MPs, a new coalition with more than half of the 222 MPs could be formed if there are some 20 patriotic and like-minded Umno MPs and 20 BN MPs from Sabah and Sarawak who agree that the top national priority is to save Malaysia from becoming a failed state because of rampant corruption, socio-economic injustices, and the collapse of good governance.

This is not a national or international conspiracy to topple the elected prime minister by violent or unconstitutional means but a patriotic endeavour using democratic and constitutional means to save Malaysia from becoming a failed state – to allow Malaysia to become a country of “endless possibilities” to leverage on the wealth and diversity of Malaysia’s human talents and natural resources to become a truly great nation.

The question is whether such numbers of MPs could be cobbled together with a new coalition, a new prime minister, and new policies to save Malaysia from becoming a failed state. - LKS,mk

Wreckage 'flaperon' confirms is from Boeing 777...

MH370: Part number on plane wreckage confirms debris is from Boeing 777, Malaysian official says...

A part number on a piece of aircraft wreckage found in the Indian Ocean confirms the object is from a Boeing 777, a Malaysian transport official has said.

"From the part number, it is confirmed that it is from a Boeing 777 aircraft. This information is from MAS (Malaysia Airlines). They have informed me," deputy transport minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said.

The wing component found on the small French island of La Reunion, east of Madagascar, bears the part number 657 BB, according to photos of the debris.

The two-metre-long piece of wreckage, known as a flaperon, was found by people cleaning up a beach on La Reunion on Wednesday.

 

A Boeing 777 is the same model aircraft as Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which vanished 16 months ago with 239 people aboard.

Mr Abdul said the piece of wreckage moved investigators "close to solving the mystery of MH370".

"This could be the convincing evidence that MH370 went down in the Indian Ocean," he said.

Models of sea currents by oceanographers suggest it is plausible debris from the missing plane could wash up in the tropics.

The recovered object will be flown to a testing site in France near the city of Toulouse for analysis by aviation authorities and could reach there by Saturday, French sources told AFP.

La Reunion is 4,000 kilometres from the oceanic region where MH370 was thought to have gone down on March 8 last year.- abc.net.au

Puing Pesawat yang Ditemukan Hampir Dipastikan dari Boeing 777...

Serpihan pesawat yang tersapu ke Kepulauan La Reunion di Samudera India Selatan hampir pasti berasal dari Boeing 777, model pesawat yang sama dari pesawat MH370 milik Malaysia Airlines, kata Wakil Menteri Transportasi Malaysia.

"Hampir dipastikan itu merupakan bagian sayap dari pesawat Boeing 777. Demikian kata Kepala penyidik kami,” kata Wakil Menteri Transportasi Abdul Aziz Kaprawi.

Bagian dari serpihan pesawat sepanjang 2 meter itu ditemukan oleh orang yang sedang membersihkan pantai di sebelah Timur Madagaskar yang jaraknya ribuan kilometre dari lokasi MH370 diperkirakan jatuh.

Perkembangan baru itu muncul setelah ahli kelautan mengatakan sangat masuk akal jika puing-puing dari pesawat yang hilang bisa tersapu hingga ke dekat Afrika oleh arus laut.

Badan investigasi kecelakaan udara Perancis sedang mempelajari puing-puing itu untuk menentukan apakah puing pesawat yang ditemukan memang berasal dari pesawat MH370, yang menghilang tanpa jejak pada 8 Maret 2014 atau 16 bulan yang lalu dalam rute dari Kuala Lumpur menuju Beijing dengan membawa 239 penumpang dan awak kapal.

Jika puing ini berhasil dipastikan memang merupakan bagian dari pesawat Boeing 777 yang hilang, ahli akan mencoba mempelajari lokasi temuan ini untuk menelusuri kembali darimana kemungkinan puing itu berasal.

Meskipun para pakar mengingatkan bahwa puing itu kecil kemungkinannya dapat membantu mempersempit lokasi pencarian tempat terakhir pesawat MH370 berada mengingat luasnya hamparan dasar laut di perairan Australia yang selama ini telah menjadi fokus pencarian selama berbulan-bulan.

"Puing ini berasal dari lautan, jika itu merupakan bagian dari pesawat  MH370 yang sudah lebih dari satu tahun, jadi kemungkinannya puing itu sudah bergerak tersapu arus sejauh itu dan karenanya tidak akan membantu menentukan dimana tepatnya reruntuhan pesawat itu berada," kata Wakil Perdana Menteri Warren Truss wartawan.

"Namun puing ini pasti dapat menunjukan kira-kira dimana daerah pencarian yang tepat,”

Australia telah memimpin pencarian pesawat sejak ditemukan ‘ping’ samar dari pesawat yang tertangkap satelit. Berdasarkan petunjuk ini para pakar menyimpulkan pesawat itu jatuh di Samudera Hindia Selatan sekitar 2.000 kilometer sebelah Barat Daya Perth.- KOMPAS.com - (ABC/Reuters/AFP)

Selain Beg Pakaian, Beberapa Barang Lain Turut Ditemui...

Jika sebelum ini beg pakaian yang rosak teruk ditemui berhampiran dengan kawasan serpihan di Pulau Reunion, kini botol minuman dan botol pencuci pula ditemui. Apa yang menarik perhatian, botol minuman itu mempunyai tulisan bahasa China manakala di botol pencuci pula mengandungi tulisa bahasa Indonesia.

Penemuan itu dilaporkan oleh media tempatan di pulau terbabit.

Selain itu, beberapa barang lain yang berkemungkinan dari pesawat itu dikumpul untuk mencari lebih bukti yang bermungkinan terkait dengan serpihan yang dikatakan dari MH370.

Pada 8 Mac tahun lalu, pesawat MH370 hilang ketika dalam perjalanan dari Kuala Lumpur ke Beijing.

Penerbangan MH370 itu membawa 239 penumpang termasuk 2 orang bayi dan 12 anak kapal

PM Britain gesa Najib selesaikan skandal rasuah, mahu Anwar diberi rawatan...

Perdana Menteri Britain David Cameron yang mengadakan pertemuan dengan Datuk Seri Najib Razak semalam meminta perdana menteri Malaysia itu menyelesaikan masalah kerajaan seperti skandal rasuah, lapor akhbar United Kingdom (UK), The Telegraph.

Cameron mengadakan perbincangan panjang dengan Najib dalam lawatannya bagi mengukuhkan hubungan perdagangan dan sempat menggesa Putrajaya memberikan rawatan sewajarnya kepada pemimpin pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang kini menjalani hukuman 5 tahun penjara atas kesalahan meliwat, lapor akhbar berkenaan.

Penasihat keselamatan negara Sir Kim Darroch dilaporkan The Telegraph berjumpa dengan anak perempuan Anwar, Nurul Izzah yang juga ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai bagi berbincang tentang kebebasan media dan rawatan ayahnya.

Cameron pada ketika ini didesak beberapa pemimpin pembangkang untuk membatalkan lawatan ke Malaysia ketika beliau mengarahkan pelabur membiayai projek infrastruktur "Northern Powerhouse" di Britain.

"Tak salah adakan lawatan, tiada apa perlu disembunyikan. Kita perlu berbincang mengenai beberapa isu termasuk isu yang dimaksudkan.

"Kita sering adakan perbincangan dengan masyarakat sivil, pemimpin pembangkang, pejuang anti rasuah dan yang lain-lain dalam lawatan itu nanti," kata Cameron seperti dilaporkan The Telegraph.

Cameron dalam lawatannya ke Malaysia juga sempat bertemu pemimpin masyarakat sivil termasuk wartawan, peguam dan pemimpin kumpulan G25 yang memperjuangkan kebebasan media dan ruang demokrasi yang lebih baik.

Pegawai UK menekankan lawatan ini untuk membina hubungan antara "rakyat" dan bukan pemimpin.

Selepas pertemuan empat mata, difahamkan Cameron mengulangi mesej mahu berjumpa dengan ramai lagi pemimpin kerajaan Malaysia bersama Najib.

Cameron dalam ucapannya di Singapura Selasa lalu mengutuk perbuatan rasuah sebagai "musuh utama" yang menghalang perkembangan serta menyentuh isu migrasi dan al-Qaeda.

"Kita mempunyai hubungan kukuh yang membolehkan kita berbincang tentang beberapa isu sukar. Saya ingin membangkitkan mengenai isu dalam ucapan saya awal minggu ini seperi etika dalam perniagaan dan memerangi rasuah.

"Kita perlu bekerjasama demi masyarakat dan ekonomi yang terbuka," katanya.

Najib kini menerima tekanan akibat skandal kehilangan RM42 bilion 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) serta dakwaan RM2.6 bilion masuk ke dalam akaun peribadinya.

Najib turut menamatkan khidmat peguam negara Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail yang menjadi salah seorang ahli pasukan khas menyiasat skandal itu, serta memecat timbalan perdana menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin kerana lantang mengkritik isu 1MDB. – tmi

David Cameron presses Malaysian PM on corruption claims...

Najib Razak asked by Cameron about imprisonments of political opponents and allegations he misused $700m of government money.

David Cameron has pressed the Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak over claims he has imprisoned his political opponents and taken government money for personal gain, at a private meeting between the two men in Kuala Lumpur.

In a meeting at Najib’s residence, Cameron also urged his Malaysian counterpart to accept the importance of a free press, the need for ethics in business, and the fight against corruption. He stressed the importance of an open economy and open society.

Cameron has made the fight against corruption a key theme of his four-day trade mission to south-east Asia, and the British prime minister had arrived in Malaysia in the week in which corruption claims prompted Najib to sack both the attorney general, who had been investigating him, and his own deputy, who had been a prominent critic.

Najib has faced allegations that he received about $700m (£448m) in government money.

Leaked confidential documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal allegedly show how the money, from state investment fund 1MDB, went into his personal accounts.

Najib, who has claimed the attacks against him are politically motivated, has not disputed the existence of the accounts or the receipt of the funds but has insisted he never used government funds for personal gain.

British officials said the controversies were raised by Cameron, including the conditions in which Najib’s political opponent, Anwar Ibrahim, is being kept in prison. Anwar has been sentenced to five years on dubious charges of sodomy.

Cameron sent his national security adviser, Sir Kim Darroch, to meet Anwar’s daughter to discuss the prison sentence, and the state of the political opposition.

Cameron’s call for the Malaysian political class to fight corruption came as he pitched the country’s financiers the chance to invest in £17bn worth of UK infrastructure projects ranging from a Leeds orbital road route, Slough town centre and prime residential properties along the Thames.

He said he wants London to become the global capital of Islamic finance.

Cameron launched a pitch book to Malaysian investors at a lavish reception entitled Battersea and Beyond in the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

He said: “Look around London and you will see how Islamic finance has transformed the skyline, from the Shard to Chelsea Barracks. With the exciting plans for the Battersea development, that trend is set to continue.

“But our ambitions in this industry go far beyond our capital city, as you will see from the carefully selected projects in this brochure. It gives you a taste of the many opportunities that we think would be attractive to investors using either Islamic or conventional finance – and it is the first brochure of its kind from any G7 or EU country”. - theguardian
