    PM: LEARN GOOD MORAL VALUES By HOHAtZAO A RAHIM PETALING JAVA: A "get-rich-quick" cul• ture evolving in the country has damaged society^ moral and ethical values, Datuk Sen Dr Mahathir Mohamad said. This culture must be contained and this could be done through education, the Prime Minister said yesterday. "It must be done away with and replaced with one that gives priority to long-term gams." he said when opening the Sunway College and a waterpark. He said the alternative culture should also take into consideration society's interests over the indi• vidual's. While education would help, he said, emphasis must be given to instilling moral and ethical values in people's pursuit for higher education. Dr Mahathir added that the country did not want to produce people without values as when they gained knowledge, they could turn out to be "edu• cated criminals." "With the increasing rate of white-collar crime, we must instil good values through education. "No matter how progressive a society is, it may not be able to sustain itself if such values are not part of education," he said. Dr Mahathir added that not all parents and the public knew what was good or bad for society. Thus, the belief that parents would naturally inculcate ALL IN ONE... chairman Musa briefs Dr Mahathir on Bandar Sunway. — STARpic by ABDULLAH SUBIR moral and ethical values in children was not true.

    THE RISE and FALL of DR LING LIONG SIK (Bernama 23/05/2003)

    23 MAY 2003 Ling-Politics THE RISE AND FALL OF DR LING LIONG SIK By: Alan Ting KUALA LUMPUR, (Bernama) - He was not seen as a likely presidential candidate of the MCA during the infamous clash between Datuk Dr Neo Yee Pan and Datuk Tan Koon Swan in the 1980s. Having thrown his weight behind Koon Swan, he was like any other "generals" in the bitter party tussle, till a twist of fate propelled him to the helm of the oldest and biggest Chinese party, a job he held for almost 17 years. That twist of fate came on Sept 3, 1986 when he, as the deputy president, was appointed to the top post, replacing Koon Swan who had to resign after being sentenced to a two-year jail and a fine of S$500,000 for criminal breach of trust in Singapore. Born on Sept 18, 1943, Dr Ling had his early education at the King Edward VII School in Taiping before joining the prestigious Royal Military College (RMC) in Sungai Besi. From the RMC, Dr Ling studied medicine at the University of Singapore in 1961 and by 1966, he served as a doctor at Penang General Hospital before opting for private practice in Butterworth in 1975. The medical doctor, with a dead-pan face and gravel voice, launched his political career in 1968 when he joined the MCA and worked his way up to become a Central Committee member in 1974. EARLY YEARS In the same year, he was picked to stand in the Mata Kuching (now called Bagan) parliamentary constituency on an MCA ticket and won, retaining the seat for two subsequent terms.

  • Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia

    Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia

    TRANSPARENCY AND AUTHORITARIAN RULE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA The 1997–98 Asian economic crisis raised serious questions for the remaining authoritarian regimes in Southeast Asia, not least the hitherto outstanding economic success stories of Singapore and Malaysia. Could leaders presiding over economies so heavily dependent on international capital investment ignore the new mantra among multilateral financial institutions about the virtues of ‘transparency’? Was it really a universal functional requirement for economic recovery and advancement? Wasn’t the free flow of ideas and information an anathema to authoritarian rule? In Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia Garry Rodan rejects the notion that the economic crisis was further evidence that ulti- mately capitalism can only develop within liberal social and political insti- tutions, and that new technology necessarily undermines authoritarian control. Instead, he argues that in Singapore and Malaysia external pres- sures for transparency reform were, and are, in many respects, being met without serious compromise to authoritarian rule or the sanctioning of media freedom. This book analyses the different content, sources and significance of varying pressures for transparency reform, ranging from corporate dis- closures to media liberalisation. It will be of equal interest to media analysts and readers keen to understand the implications of good governance debates and reforms for democratisation. For Asianists this book offers sharp insights into the process of change – political, social and economic – since the Asian crisis.

How time flies! BThroughout the past few months, aside from the usual advertisements, countless projects and events were organised to boost the number of domestic and foreign tourist arrivals to the silver state. With the sheer amount of blood, sweat and tears put into promoting Perak as a holiday destination, one may wonder whether all the effort and ‘hard work’ paid off. In this issue, Ipoh Echo examines the progress of VPY 2017. Continued on page 2 MAPS – a new boost to Perak tourism industry Taiping – A Town Of Many Firsts aiping got its name from the Chinese word “Tai-Peng” Tmeaning everlasting peace. Klian Pauh, its former name, was changed to Taiping soon after the Larut War in 1874. The town, once the capital of Perak, is also known as the “Heritage Town” due to its numerous old buildings. The Taiping Lake Gardens was originally a tin- mining field before it became a public garden in 1880. It was the brainchild of Colonel Robert F. Fawker and the man responsible for developing it was town planner, Charles Compton Reade. The 64-hectare abandoned mining field was donated by Chung Thye Phin for use as a recreational park.
