Bukit Besi Assemblyman Withdraws Resignation From Umno Bernama May 13, 2014 KUALA TERENGGANU, May 13 (Bernama) -- State Assemblyman for Bukit Besi Roslee Daud has withdrawn his resignation from Umno and returned as a Barisan Nasional (BN) elected representative. This was confirmed by the State Executive Councillor for Tourism and Culture, Datuk Mohd Jidin Shafee. Mohd Jidin, who is also the State Assemblyman for Permaisuri, said Roslee had withdrawn his decision to leave Umno and become an Independent Assemblyman after being advised by his Umno colleagues. "Why he made the decision early this morning no longer needs to be explained. But, what is important is that we in the party must be united," he said when contacted by Bernama. Mohd Jidin hoped the political situation in the state could be handled properly. Earlier, Roslee had declared that he had left Umno and had become an Independent assemblyman after former Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Said, who is also Kijal Assemblyman, and Ajil Assemblyman Ghazali Taib had left the party. They did so after the new Terengganu Menteri Besar, Datuk Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman took his oath of office before the Sultan of Terengganu, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin at Istana Syarqiyyah last night. With the latest development, BN now holds 16 seats in the State Legislative Assembly (including the vote of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly) while PAS has 14 seats, PKR (1) and Independent (2). -- BERNAMA Copyright © 2014 BERNAMA Source: http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v7/newsindex.php?id=1038027 .

Media Release
MEDIA RELEASE MONSOON CUP GETS THE ROYAL TOUCH Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, His Royal Highness Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Almarhum Al-Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billal Shah, will make a return to sailing when the Coronation Cup is held at the five-star Ri-Yaz Heritage Marina Resort and Spa on Nov 30. The Coronation Cup (formerly known as the Terengganu Cup) was last organised in 2007 to honour Tuanku Mizan’s installation as the 13th King of Malaysia. It will act as the curtain raiser to the Monsoon Cup which is from Nov 30-Dec 5. A keen sportsman, Tuanku Mizan is an avid golfer and has a passion for endurance riding. He has taken part in competitions locally and abroad and has been crucial in promoting the sport in Malaysia. His Majesty even qualified for the 2008 World Endurance Championships, which was held in Malaysia. That was the first time the prestigious event was held in Asia. Earlier this month, Tuanku Mizan was among 68 riders from nine countries who participated in the fourth Sultan’s Cup Terengganu Endurance Challenge at Terengganu International Endurance Park (TIEP) in Kuala Terengganu. He has also regularly attended the Monsoon Cup, the season-ending race on the World Match Racing Tour (WMRT) and even tried his hand at Match Racing in 2007 at the Coronation Cup. Being the avid sportsman that he is, he enjoyed match racing and all it has to offer, hence the interest to race again. 1 Among those who participated in that race was the then Tengku Mahkota of Kelantan, Tuanku Muhammad Faris Petra, who has since assumed the throne as Sultan Muhammad V, former Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh and current Terengganu Menteri Besar Dato’ Sri Ahmad Said as well as representatives from TM, Air Asia, PRIDE Foundation, Kencana Petroleum and Tourism Malaysia.

1MDB Corruption Scandal in Malaysia: a Study of Failings in Control And
The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2517-679X.htm 1MDB 1MDB corruption scandal in corruption Malaysia: a study of failings in scandal in control and accountability Malaysia David Seth Jones 59 Policy and Management Consultant, UK Received 6 November 2019 Revised 21 February 2020 Abstract Accepted 28 February 2020 Purpose – The aim of the paper is to examine the various aspects of the 1MDB scandal including the extent and types of corruption that occurred and the action taken to deal with them. In doing this, the paper seeks to identify the reasons for the scandal and the lessons that can be learnt to avoid such a scandal in Malaysia and elsewhere in the future. Design/methodology/approach – The research for the paper is based on evidence from court hearings, reports of watchdog and regulatory agencies, media reports, and various articles and books written about 1MDB. Findings – The paper shows that most of the scandal involved embezzlement, bribery, false declarations and bond mispricing relating to extensive borrowing by 1MDB, and entailed a global network of shell companies and individuals through which the illicit money was passed. It also shows weak governance in 1MDB, poor internal controls within banks, the failure of watchdog and enforcement bodies to take the necessary action partly due to political control over them, and overall the lack of political will to deal with the scandal. Originality/value – The paper builds on the findings of other papers and books written on the 1MDB scandal.

It traces the judiciary’s tentative movement toward a more rights-oriented approach followed by its more recent retreat in several appellate court decisions. This article argues that the Malaysian courts’ journey toward constitutional redemption has been uneven so far. In order to reclaim its constitutional position as a co-equal branch of government, the Malaysian judiciary must exhibit greater willingness to assert its commitment to constitutional supremacy and the rule of law. I. INTRODUCTION The story of the Malaysian judiciary is inextricably linked to the nation’s constitutional politics. It is a tale of the judicial institution’s rise, fall, and ensuing struggle toward constitutional restoration. Constitutional interpretation is, in large part, an underlying theme to this story: it is the means by which the judiciary articulates how it sees its role and molds its fate within the political climate that it finds itself.
