Noh Omar upbeat on BN winning big in Selangor MalaysiaKini.com March 31, 2012 Selangor Umno deputy chief Noh Omar is confident that BN will recapture the state in the next general election by winning 36 out of 56 seats, a seat short of a two-thirds majority in the state assembly. In an interview with Chinese dailies reported yesterday in Nanyang Siang Pau, the agriculture and agro-based industry minister expects Umno to win over 30 seats from the 35 it will contest, MCA to capture five out of 14, MIC and Gerakan to grab one each out of three and four seats to be contested respectively. NONESelangor BN's target in the 13th general election, said Noh, is to win back Selangor with a simple majority, adding that a two-thirds majority would be a "bonus". Noh said response to BN’s activities shortly after the last general election was lukewarm, but claims the situation has changed under the leadership of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is also Umno and BN state chief. This, he said, was evident from BN having to hire more buses to ferry people to their events - the the past five buses would go out and come back empty, but today five would not be enough. He also boasted that if they prepare 10,000 chairs for their events more than 20,000 people would show up, taking this as a sign that Selangor residents were interested in BN otherwise they would not come. Asked whether such a trend would translate into votes, Noh replied, "Hopefully." Parliamentary seat haul NONEAt the parliamentary level, Noh (right) was also confident that BN can grab 12 out of 22 Selangor parliamentary seats. He predicts Umno can win seven out of 10 contested, MCA can capture three out of seven while MIC can win at least two out of four. "It seems that MCA can retain Pandan (currently held by former MCA chief Ong Tee Keat)," he added. Meanwhile, he left the question of his own candidacy to Najib's decision. "My promise is to try my best help Umno win, but who will be the menteri besar is not my job (to ask)," he said. Copyright © 1999-2012 Mkini Dotcom Sdn.

Speech by DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng at the DAP
Speech by DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng at the DAP National Special Congress on 12 November 2017 at the IDCC Shah Alam, Selangor A Democratic, Progressive and Prosperous Malaysia for the many Preamble We, the DAP national delegates, gather here today for our National Special Congress as requested by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to hold a fresh election for the Central Executive Committee members, once again. We had earlier decided to accept the instructions by the ROS, under protest. Since the last National Conference on 4th December 2016, we lost two of DAP’s most important national leaders, the former Secretary-General and my university mate Sdr. Kerk Kim Hock and the former Perak Chairman and one of the earliest DAP members Sdr. Lau Dak Kee. Both of them were detained under the Internal Security Act during the Ops Lalang in 1 987. Let us pay tribute to Sdr Kerk and Lau for their contributions to the Party and to Malaysia, especially during difficult dark years. 1. Crisis and leadership Before I proceed into the details of this special meeting, let us together express DAP’s solidarity with the people of Penang for the recent unprecedented natural disaster of worst flood and storm in history that befell upon us on 4th and 5th November. No words can fully grasp the unexpected calamity. On behalf of DAP, let me express my sincerest gratitude to Penangites and Malaysians that have helped our people during the tumultuous time, and those who continue to assist us till this very moment. Your precious assistance, contributions and donations will forever be appreciated.

`No Rift with Sukom Ninety-Eight' (NST 26/03/1998)
26/03/1998 `No rift with Sukom Ninety-Eight' THERE is no rift between Sukom Ninety Eight Berhad and the Youth and Sports Ministry in the preparations for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, Youth and Sports Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said. In response to a supplementary question from Noh Omar (BN-Tanjung Karang), he said the ministry was working closely with the company which is responsible for organising the Games. "We are all commmitted and determined to make this Games a success and I admit there may be some differences in opinion between us, but we have no serious problems." He added that the media were in many ways to blame for highlighting the differences and creating the impression that there was a rift. Muhyiddin said the ministry was monitoring the operations of Sukom Bhd since the Government and the Olympic Council of Malaysia were major shareholders in the company. In response to the original question from Lim Guan Eng (DAP-Kota Melaka), Muhyiddin said the preparations for the Septmber Games were progressing well and RM2 billion had been allocated. Sukom Bhd has raised RM280 million from sponsorship deals, he said. "But due to the current economic situation, Sukom Bhd is facing problems obtaining new sponsors and the Government has ordered all the organising committees of the Games to be prudent and control their expenditure." He said the management was being monitored by the Kuala Lumpur '98 Games Council, chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad. (END).

DPM Dares Mystery Man in Putsch Plot to Deny It Malaysiakini.Com Aug 15, 2015
DPM dares mystery man in putsch plot to deny it MalaysiaKini.com Aug 15, 2015 Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has challenged the Umno leader he claimed was planning to "topple the government", to deny it publicly. "If he has guts, this person must deny it through the press," said Ahmad Zahid. Speaking at the Klang Umno division annual general meeting today, Ahmad Zahid said that the plot and its plotter was real. "I know this thing is happening because as Home Minister, I receive information and I will also find out who is behind it. "I don't have to expose the person as this will reveal itself," he said, according to Bernama. Earlier today, Ahmad Zahid had claimed that this mystery person was attempting was "topple the government" by getting MPs from both sides of the divide to sign a seven-page statutory declaration. Once that is done, the MPs will declare that they have the majority in the Dewan Rakyat. Court of perception Despite challenging the person to deny it, Ahmad Zahid did not provide any names. Thus far, Johor Menteri Besar Khaled Nordin has publicly stated that he was not the person mentioned by Ahmad Zahid. Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid warned Umno members against persecuting its leader based on perception. "This is because there are four types of courts, namely the court of justice, people's court who are the voters, court of perception and court of public opinion. "It is unfair for our nation's top leaders, especially (Prime Minister) Najib (Abdul Razak), to be judged by the court of public opinion and court of perception because we know they cannot do that.

DPM: Dong Zong's sidelining claim 'a big lie' MalaysiaKini.com April 12, 2012 Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin today labelled the teacher shortage issue raised by Chinese education rights group Dong Zong as a "big lie". NONEHe also condemned as "uncivilised" the action of throwing things at his deputy minister Wee Ka Siong during a protest rally organised by Dong Zong last month at Kajang. According to the national news agency, Bernama, Muhyiddin, told some 500 teachers from vernacular schools during a meeting today at Shah Alam, that the issue is not exclusive to Chinese schools. He said national schools are also facing the problem of insufficient English language teachers. "It is not that the ministry allows the teacher shortage problem to continue, but because it takes time to fill the vacancies left by retired teachers," he was quoted as saying. Annually there are some 20,000 teachers who become pregnant which also contributes to the problem, he explained. All schools enjoy same standard Muhyiddin (below) also argued that out of the 1,700 vacancies in Chinese schools, more than 1,400 have been filled with temporary teachers. NONEHence ,he said, those who accuse the government of marginalising Chinese and Tamil schools are being most irresponsible. He stressed that vernacular schools are part of the national education system, and have achieved the same quality as national schools. "We have never given different treatment just because it is Chinese or Mandarin school, it is the perception of certain quarters ,including the opposition... "There are people who want to confuse us because the general election is near," he said.

Both overall growth figures were driven by consumer spending, which grew strongly again in May. Manufacturing PMIs in advanced economies remain in expansion territory, although manufacturing conditions in China continue to remain challenging1 Key global economies show signs of improving outlook and emerging growth momentum2 1 Note: A reading above 50.0 indicates an increase from the previous month and a reading below 50.0 indicates a decrease.
