Addressing National Policy To address on national policy, SS Dato’ Seri Mufti quoted Imam Shafie (RA) who said that “sebarang tindakan pemerintah mesti dilingkari dengan maslahah ammah” (every action of the government must ensure that the welfare and wellbeing of the community is protected and preserved). And since mandatory immunisations protect the health and well-being of the child who is most vulnerable especially below 7 years old, it should be seriously considered.

    Anwar: Back us if you agree with our policies Malaysiakini.com March 3, 2007 Soon Li Tsin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Anwar Ibrahim made a fiery speech asking for opposition party leaders and members to work hard in the coming elections. Speaking to a 600-strong crowd that gathered at the party’s Chinese New Year open house in Kuala Lumpur last night, Anwar tested his Mandarin much to the crowd’s delight. “Xin nian hao, nian nian hao (happy new year, every year’s a good year),” he greeted to start off his address. In his speech that was sandwiched between singing and harmonica performances, he touched on several issues briefly including the recent dip in the Kuala Lumpur Composite Index. “We want our economy to be better and not have the market perform so badly [...] we don’t want the cost of living to rise ... we want our economy to be taken care off. “If we want every year to be good, we must work hard because Malaysia is (a) good (country), the people are good but the government is not good,” he smiled as the crowd gave a thunderous applause. No empty promises The former deputy premier then switched to a serious tone as he made references to the coming general election. “I’ll be honest tonight, I believe people will be spirited in the coming elections. Last time, Pak Lah had plans but his plans have all been postponed. “We must work hard to change the government. If want to really change the government, we must have a good programme for the people,” he said.

    DAP to hold two forums over MCA's 'RM1bil scandal' claim MalaysiaKini.com July 20, 2012 By Aidila Razak The DAP will be holding two separate forums on MCA’s claim that the Selangor government was involved in a RM1 billion scandal through the Talam Corporation Bhd debt recovery exercise. According to Selangor DAP treasurer Hannah Yeoh, the forums are to allow MCA deputy minister Chua Tee Yong to explain his claims to the public at first hand. “This is to ensure that the audience is not misled by (DAP publicity chief) Tony Pua as accused by Chua. If requested we will be more than happy to offer a neutral moderator from The Star to ensure that everyone gets a fair opportunity to present their views,” she told reporters today. The first forum will be on July 24 at 7.30pm at the Kuala Lumpur Chinese Assembly Hall, and will be held in the Chinese language. Also to speak at the forum will be Selangor DAP chief Teresa Kok and Pua. The second forum, to be held in Bahasa Malaysia and English, will be at the mutipurpose hall at Jalan SS15/4 on July 25 with Yeoh, Pua and PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli speaking. Commenting on Chua’s recent assertions that he (Pua) failed to read the Permodalan Selangor Nasional Bhd balance sheet properly and did not know how to calculate, Pua said he would love for Chua to attend the forum to “educate” him. “I seriously would appreciate if he can turn up at this forum, so I can pay him tuition fees for him to teach me on how to count and teach me the elements of accountancy.

  • DAP: Perak Assembly Rejects Questions on Land Deal Malaysiakini.Com Aug 16, 2013
    DAP: Perak assembly rejects questions on land deal MalaysiaKini.com Aug 16, 2013 Perak DAP chief Ngeh Koo Ham today criticised the BN-led Perak government for consistently rejecting written and oral questions posed by him in the state assembly. Ngeh said he had six questions for written answers, and three for oral answers, but all were rejected - mostly on the grounds that the answers can be found in a "normal reference book". "I have offered publicly to pay RM10,000 for such a reference book, which has answers to the questions but no one has come forward with such a book," said Ngeh, who is also Sitiawan assemblyperson, said in a statement today. All of the questions are related to state land transactions in Perak. NONE"I believe the people are very interested in the answers to these questions as they involve tens of thousands of acres of state land, which are worth billions of ringgit," Ngeh said. He said Perak Menteri Besar Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir (right) was "making a joke out of himself" by giving out such "ridiculous" excuses to these questions. The rejected questions in the state assembly dates as far back as the year 2011, Ngeh said. He further claimed that when the state opposition asked that all questions not answered orally, be answered in writing instead, Zambry in turn had two days ago claimed that the Penang and Selangor state government, both led by the opposition, did not give out written answers as well. "I have asked the Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and the Selangor assembly speaker Hannah Yeoh, and they have confirmed that all questions which are not answered orally will be replied in writing.

  • GE13: REFSA Chooses Transformation on Sunday, May 5, Malaysians Go to the Polls
    SAYS GE13: REFSA chooses transformation On Sunday, May 5, Malaysians go to the polls. For the first time in our history, in the 56 years since Merdeka, we have a real choice in choosing who to grant the privilege of governing us. Which coalition will you choose? The incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN), which is the only federal government that all of us have known so far? Or the young upstart Pakatan Rakyat? We at REFSA have made our choice. We choose transformation. We choose Pakatan Rakyat. Pakatan has transformed race relations. Malaysians of all races gather congenially under the PAS moon and DAP rocket. A Malaysian-Chinese flying the PAS flag, or a Malay waving the DAP rocket symbol, would have been an unimaginable sight as recently as Feb 2008. Pakatan leaders have transformed the prisms by which we view each other, and led Malaysians from narrow communal siloes to broader, harmonious relations. Pakatan has transformed state governments. The federal Auditor- General has given Penang top marks for being the best financially- managed state; and the RM1.2b cash savings in Selangor are the highest in 28 years. Pakatan state governments were the first to give direct welfare aid to Malaysians: for example, the Senior Citizen Appreciation Programme in Penang and the TAWAS programme in Selangor. Pakatan has demonstrated that it is possible to be financially responsible and populist at the same time. Pakatan has proven that it can transform Malaysia for the better, in contrast to the „transformation‟ that (caretaker) prime minister Najib uses as a smoke-screen to hide business- as-usual shenanigans.

Berdasarkan statistik JKM sehingga 16 Oktober 2020, bilangan permohonan baru yang diterima oleh JKM WPKL adalah sebanyak 3,265 permohonan. Daripada jumlah tersebut, sebanyak 930 kes telah selesai disiasat dan telah diberi kelulusan. Baki permohonan yang sedang dalam siasatan dan belum lagi diselesaikan adalah sebanyak 2,335 kes. Ini adalah beberapa kekangan yang dihadapi oleh kakitangan JKM WPKL adalah seperti berikut: 1) Terdapat permohonan yang diterima adalah tidak lengkap dan menyebabkan JKM perlu menyusul semula dengan pemohon untuk melengkapkan borang permohonan tersebut; 2) Kebanyakan pegawai dan kakitangan di JKM WPKL turut menjalankan tugas sebagai ‘frontliners’ COVID-19 dengan mengedarkan bakul makanan kepada penduduk setempat yang memerlukan; 3) Mereka juga bertugas di pusat kuarantin sepanjang tempoh PKP/PKPP/PKPB/PKPD; dan 4) Nisbah beban tugas pegawai JKM dengan kes adalah agak tidak seimbang iaitu 1 nisbah 500 hingga 600 kes (1:500-600 kes).

    Pakatan Harapan pushes for Pandikar’s resignation Free Malaysia Today May 16, 2017 By Vanesha Shurentheran They say his declaration to seek a state or parliamentary seat in GE14 shows he can no longer be impartial in making decisions as the Dewan Rakyat speaker. PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan leaders are calling for the resignation of Parliament Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia after his declared intention to contest the next general election if given the opportunity. Amanah communications director Khalid Samad said the neutrality of Pandikar’s position had become questionable after his declaration of his political ambition to seek either a state or parliamentary seat to contest. The Shah Alam MP said this made Pandikar less effective in bringing about reforms in Parliament. “As speaker, he had promised to bring about reforms. He has carried out only a few changes,” said Khalid. PKR strategic director Sim Tze Tzin pointed out that Pandikar is still a member of his party but had let go of all positions in the political party. He said being a member of the party was not a problem but how he conducted himself and was seen to be impartial in the Dewan Rakyat was crucial. “We hold our speaker with high regard. So he has to do his best to remain impartial — to us and to democracy. “That’s why Pakatan Harapan has come to the decision to ask him to consider resigning,” Sim told FMT. Pandikar yesterday admitted that after his nine-year stint as speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, he was keen on returning to active politics in Sabah.
