21 FEB 1997 MCA-Deng MCA LEADERS SIGN CONDOLENCE BOOK FOR DENG KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 (Bernama) -- MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Ling Liong Sik and several other party leaders today signed the condolence book for China's paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping, who died on Wednesday, at the Chinese embassy in Jalan Ampang, here. Those present were the party's deputy president, Datuk Lim Ah Lek, secretary-general Datuk Ting Chew Peh, vice-president Datuk Chua Jui Meng, Youth chief Datuk Chan Kong Choy, Wanita leader Datuk Teng Gaik Kwan and Datuk Tan Chai Ho. Led by Dr Ling, they performed the traditional bow in front of Deng's portrait with words of eternal remembrance of comrade Deng written in Mandarin. Speaking to reporters later, Dr Ling, who is Transport Minister, Deng would be best remembered for the modernisation of China. He credited Deng with the political stability in China which had led to strong economic growth in the last decade. He hoped there would be a smooth transition of leadership as China could provide the inspiration and growth for the whole region and the world at large. The MCA is the third largest Chinese-based ruling political party after the Communist Party of China and the Nationalist Party of Taiwan. However, unlike them, the MCA was formed by western-educated capitalists who aimed to bring more political rights to the straits-born Chinese. Later, DAP secretary-general Lim Kit Siang led a 12-member delegation to pay their last respects. Dewan Negara President Tan Sri Mohamed Ya'acob also signed the condolence book which will be open from 9am to 5pm daily until Tuesday, except on Sunday. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad is expected to sign the condolence book on Tuesday. -- BERNAMA YBK JK .

Cer- tainly, one could well surmise in poet’s phrase, that in these times in Malaysia, the best lack all convic- tions, while the worst are full of pas- sionate intensity. All too often we have seen this happening. Just to take a mun- dane example, I happened to watch the parliamentary report on television the other night and it was appallingly clear that the deputy ministers and parliamen- tary secretaries who were re- sponding to queries and ques- tions totally lacked conviction.

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.

Nation Expected to Have 3M Trees by Year 2000 (NST 14/12/1998)
14/12/1998 Nation expected to have 3m trees by year 2000 THE country is expected to achieve the target of planting 3 million trees by the year 2000 if more than 15 per cent of Malaysians are serious in the effort to turn the country into a "garden nation". Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Dr Ting Chew Peh said every state in Malaysia has been allocated the number of trees to be planted. "But, it is rather disappointing because we have not received encouraging responds from the public," he said at the tree planting ceremony in Cheras yesterday. His speech was read out by Deputy Culture, Arts and Tourism Minister Datuk Teng Gaik Kwan. Also present was Parliamentary Secretary for Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry Datuk Tan Chai Ho. The campaign was organised in support of the "Love the Environment - Malaysia a Garden Country" which kicked off early last year. It was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad with the aim of turning the country into a "garden country" by 2005. The ministry will be providing some 1,000 trees for the campaign with 500 to be planted at Bandar Tun Razak and Cheras. Yesterday's event was organised in cooperation with Chinese daily Sin Chew Jit Poh, RediFM98.8, Malaysia Health Action Centre, MCA Bandar Tun Razak, MCA Cheras and MCA Negri Sembilan divisions, Green Country Farm, Rock Records and Tapes (M) Sdn Bhd and Leisure Mall. The trees will be planted in parks, roadsides, and school compounds identified by resident associations and non-Governmental organisations.

BN Will Have to Look Into Reduced Victory Margins (NST 01/12/1999)
01/12/1999 BN will have to look into reduced victory margins Lokman Mansor BARISAN Nasional (BN) has secured the more than two-thirds majority in Parliament that it was aiming for, but one issue that needs to be addressed in the party's post-mortem for the 10th general elections is the reduced margins by which BN candidates had won. Prime Minister and BN chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, when asked about this at a press conference early Tuesday morning, said: "We promised to get more than two-thirds. We didn't promise anything about the margin". As the election results were flashed on a big screen at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur that night, BN supporters and the press were clearly taken aback by how close many of the contests were. With the exception of a handful of seats, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak, most of the BN candidates saw their majorities reduced compared to the 1995 elections, some quite significantly. In Pahang, Education Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak retained his Pekan parliamentary seat by only 241 votes against his previous convincing majority of 10,793 votes in the 1995 elections. Also in the state, Wan Mohamad Razali Wan Mahussin defeated his opponent from Keadilan, Mohd Jafri Ab Rashid, by the slimmest margin in the elections of only 5 votes. Wan Mohamad Razali won the Cini state seat in 1995 by a majority of 3,191. In Perak, Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Kerk Choo Ting retained his seat by a majority of 637 votes.

A Study of Foreign Policies with Special Reference to Bilateral
Malaysia and Indonesia: A Study of Foreign Policies with Special Reference to Bilateral Relations Ahmad Nizar Yaakub This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) The University of Western Australia School of Social and Cultural Studies Discipline of Political Science and International Relations October 2009 i Abstract In the post-Cold War era, the ‘special relationship’ between Malaysia and Indonesia appears to have become not as cordial as during the 1970s-80s. In fact, it has been characterized more by conflict and rivalry than cooperation. Many issues have contributed to the tension namely, clash of personality between leaders, national political transformation, cross-border environmental concerns, illegal migrant workers, separatist movement, territorial disputes, transnational terrorism, and disputes over cultural rights. While examining those specific developments, this thesis organizes its analysis of Malaysian and Indonesian foreign policies, with special reference to their evolving bilateral relations, from a constructivist perspective. Constructivists believe that culture, ethnicity, elite/leadership, national identity, and religious beliefs are among the main factors which should be examined in order to better understand a state’s behaviour in relation to other states in the international arena. Those non-material factors, which are ignored or under-studied in the leading international theories which mostly focus on military/economic power and the international system underpinned by balance of power, provide a useful interpretive framework to understand the cases of Malaysia and Indonesia. Deploying this constructivist perspective, this thesis examines and compares those factors’ impact on Malaysian and Indonesian foreign policies in general, and on their conduct of bilateral relations in particular, in the post-Cold War era.

Tol Cheras Jadi Tinggalan Sejarah (BH 15/09/2003)
15/09/2003 Tol Cheras jadi tinggalan sejarah Azidan Nahar SATU lagi sejarah tol di negara ini dicatatkan apabila Tol Jalan Cheras dekat Taman Midah, Kuala Lumpur, ditutup tepat jam 12 malam tadi. Pelbagai peristiwa pahit manis dirakam di tol berkenaan bermula pada 15 September 1991. Tol yang diuruskan Metramac Corporation Sdn Bhd itu adalah tol kedua yang ditamatkan konsesinya selepas kutipan tol Jalan Kuching yang dihentikan pada 8 Januari lalu selepas tamat tempoh konsesi Kamunting Corporation Berhad (KCB) selama 16 tahun bermula 8 Januari 1987. Tol Jalan Cheras yang mendapat bantahan hebat penduduk itu juga pernah mendapat perhatian Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad selain dijadikan isu oleh parti politik yang cuba mencari pengaruh untuk memenangi hati penduduk kawasan berkenaan. Bantahan penduduk Cheras terhadap kutipan tol itu bermula setahun sebelum tol itu dibuka kerana mereka tidak senang dengan bayaran yang dikatakan terlalu tinggi sehingga mengadakan demonstrasi. Bagaimanapun selepas itu mereka beralih kepada tuntutan baru dengan mengutip tanda tangan untuk mendapatkan kemudahan percuma dengan sebuah badan yang dinamakan jawatankuasa pengecualian tol Cheras mengedarkan 20,000 borang kaji selidik bagi menyokong tuntutan itu. Walaupun tidak mendapat sokongan seperti diharapkan, jawatankuasa itu yang mengambil Ahli Parlimen Sungai Besi, Tan Kok Wai, sebagai penasihatnya menyerahkan memorandum keputusan kaji selidik itu kepada Perdana Menteri. Perdana Menteri pada September 1991 mengarahkan Pejabat Peguam Negara mengkaji semula implikasi mengenakan pembayaran tol ke atas pengguna lebuh raya di seluruh negara. Dr Mahathir berkata, kajian itu bagaimanapun tidak bermakna kerajaan akan menghapuskan tol. "Saya tidak nampak mengapa tol harus dihapuskan, termasuk tol di Cheras, kecuali ada pihak yang mahu membayarnya, mungkin boleh (dibina lebuh raya).
