432 Comments KEPERIHATINAN Chedet.co.cc March 1, 2009 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. Rakyat yang selalu mengguna jalan tol akan berasa lega kerana kenaikan tol yang diumumkan oleh Menteri Kabinet yang bertanggungjawab, Datuk Seri Mohd Zin akan dikaji semula oleh Kabinet. 2. Perdana Menteri telah mengarahkan Kabinet mengkaji semula kenaikan tol kerana "Apa yang dibincangkan dan diputuskan itu dibuat dua tiga minggu lalu dan sejak itu keadaan ekonomi menjadi bertambah buruk". 3. Apa gamaknya yang telah jadi kepada ekonomi Negara dalam jangka masa tiga minggu. Biasanya sebelum keputusan dibuat oleh Kabinet, maklumat berkenaan aliran ekonomi diberi oleh pakar-pakar untuk jangkasama yang agak panjang, sudah tentu lebih dari tiga minggu. Apakah pakar-pakar ini telah tergesa-gesa lari ke Perdana Menteri tiga minggu selepas keputusan dibuat oleh Kabinet untuk memaklumkan ekonomi merosot begitu teruk dan tol tidak boleh dinaikkan. Apakah mereka menjelaskan bahawa kajian semula tol akan membaikkan keadaan ekonomi. Atau apakah Perdana Menteri membawa perkara ini ke Kabinet dengan data yang cukup tentang keburukan ekonomi sebelum mengumumkan tol perlu dikaji semula. Atau apakah kenaikan ini tidak bijak dibuat semasa beliau masih Perdana Menteri. Tunggu orang lain naik jadi Perdana Menteri dan terpaksa menaikkan tol. 4. Atau apakah ini satu lagi manifestasi "flip-flop" Abdullah? Mungkinkah perletakan jawatan juga perlu dikaji dengan lebih mendalam apabila masanya hampir tiba. Ekonomi yang amat teruk boleh juga jadi satu alasan. Dapatkah ekonomi negara dipulih tanpa Dato Seri Abdullah? 5. Apa pandangan Tingkat Empat? 432 Comments By RoyAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:22 PM Dear Tun, I believe someone wants to look good, and be remembered as a hero rather than a loser. Such is a political game. Everyone wonders why a Prime Minister needs to kneel down to Cabinet for decision he can easily influenced in the first place - 3 weeks of worsen economy is definitely a lame excuse. Honestly, what can we remember of him? By matanahairAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:24 PM Tun, Sudahlah Tun mengejek-ejekan PM kita. Kadang kala dengar, macam yang Tun katakan, "menjijikan" dll. Kritikan yang dibuat, bagai simpulan kaum cina, "goreng semula nasi yang sejuk", Bosanlah Tun. Sekarang, Tun bagai nak mengkritik semata-mata untuk membuat kritikan sahaja. Apakah Tun tidak pernah membuat kesilapan, atau membenarkan kabinet Tun membuat kesilapan dan Tun membetulkan? PM sekarang memperbetulkan sesuatu yang membawa mafaat kepada rakyat, sedangkan Menterinya yang buat kesilapan. Pernah sekali Tun juga memperbetulkan menteri lain masa lalu dengan mengatakan "kita haramkan penggunaan bahasa pasar, bahasa haram, bahasa rojak, yang kita mahu bahasa malaysia, bukan bahasa yang campur aduk di radio." Masa itu, kebijaksanaan Tun dipuji, tidak dikatakan FLIP FLOP. Cukuplah Tun By VinceAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:25 PM Dear Tun, I really salute you when you become our Prime Minister. But after you retire, a lot of problem arises. After the 308 election, our BN government cant sustain 2/3 majority. And Now the Perak Politic worsen.. In your opinion if you are the BN chief, would you call for the state dissolve in Perak. By Rakyat MalaysiaAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:31 PM Dear Tun, I am one of your million admirers and love to read your articles. Just could not understand the way our country is currently managed. Decisions are "simply" made and the results as expected - chaos. Now this toll issue, really insulting our intelligent. Not to say that we are genius but any average person can witness the whole scenario. I wish for better leaders for the sake of our children and grandchildren..... By nasayoekAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:37 PM Askm Tun , Minta - minta jangan la benda ni dijadikan alasan untuk memanjangkan lagi tempoh peralihan . Orang Sabah bilang ....palis - palis la Tun ( Kalau tak silap saya , yang terdekat : Selisih Malaikat .... ) Amacam kalau Tun yang jadi PM balik ? By ziruckAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:37 PM Jika politik huru hara ekonomi juga terkena tempiasnya. Jika Najib naik jadi PM pun saya tak yakin ekonomi Malaysia jadi lebih baik melainkan jika Tun kembali jadi PM.hehe..tapi mustahil kan. tak pa Tun teruskan perjuanganmu..Moga Allah melanjutkan usia Tun. Amin.

By dzulmanAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:48 PM YABhg Tun, The fickle mindedness of the Govt.'s leaders particulalrly the PM on serious National issues is so frustrating. The political fiasco that is on going in Perak, the circus and "hooligoonism" in Parliament, the allegation of inhuman treatment of an ISA detainee tend to illustarte that there is no governance or simply due to ineffective the leadership. I wonder whether Dato Seri Najib will be more effective with the current crop of Cabinet members and also those MPs around I doubt that he will be able to do much. Salam takzim Tun. By SkyForceAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:55 PM Dear Tun, Jika keburukan ekonomi menjadi sebab kenaikan tol kena dikaji semula, kenapa dulu petrol naik 78 sen tak perlu fikir dua kali? Lagi satu bulan, PM kena serah kuasa, bodohlah kalau PM memikul nama 'Bapa Kenaikan Tol' bersamanya selepas bersara. Lebih baik biar PM baru tanggung beban itu. Hehe SkyForce By redkdeAuthor Profile Page on March 1, 2009 10:56 PM Apa pandangan Tingkat Empat? - they are pretty blind right now...

LCCT Labu, IJN, harga gula, kadar tol dan terbaru penggunaan "Allah". Kenapa jadi macam ini? Adakah ini disengajakan? Keputusan ditarik balik dan dibatalkan selepas mendapat bantahan. Adakah semata-mata nak tunjuk AAB perihatin suara rakyat? Supaya penyerahan kuasa AAB Mach ini ditangguhkan? Adakah ini kerja Tingkat 4?

It looks like nothing is impossible now. The whole situation is like a 'suspended' state of animation. Time seems endless and we are not sure of the direction that we are going. Hopefully the 'departure' of DAAB will bring some sanity to the nation.

  • Arms Procurement Decision Making Volume II: Chile, Greece, Malaysia
    4. Malaysia Dagmar Hellmann-Rajanayagam* I. Introduction Malaysia has become one of the major political players in the South-East Asian region with increasing economic weight. Even after the economic crisis of 1997–98, despite defence budgets having been slashed, the country is still deter- mined to continue to modernize and upgrade its armed forces. Malaysia grappled with the communist insurgency between 1948 and 1962. It is a democracy with a strong government, marked by ethnic imbalances and affirmative policies, strict controls on public debate and a nascent civil society. Arms procurement is dominated by the military. Public apathy and indifference towards defence matters have been a noticeable feature of the society. Public opinion has disregarded the fact that arms procurement decision making is an element of public policy making as a whole, not only restricted to decisions relating to military security. An examination of the country’s defence policy- making processes is overdue. This chapter inquires into the role, methods and processes of arms procure- ment decision making as an element of Malaysian security policy and the public policy-making process. It emphasizes the need to focus on questions of public accountability rather than transparency, as transparency is not a neutral value: in many countries it is perceived as making a country more vulnerable.1 It is up 1 Ball, D., ‘Arms and affluence: military acquisitions in the Asia–Pacific region’, eds M. Brown et al., East Asian Security (MIT Press: Cambridge, Mass., 1996), p. 106. * The author gratefully acknowledges the help of a number of people in putting this study together.

  • First Step of Many to Repair the Judiciary
    First step of many to repair the judiciary Q: What is your opinion of this bill? * A: It's a step in the right direction, but there should have been a consultation process in coming up with the bill. There is also the issue of the missing Judges' Code of Ethics 2008, which we have yet to see. There are several short-comings with the bill. The first is that there is no procedure for lodging a complaint against a judge. Lim Chee Wee There is also insufficient provision the actual judges' ethics committee's investigative and adjudicative process. And in terms of accountability, there should be a requirement for the publication of an annual report with the number of complaints lodged, how many are disposed of and action taken on a no-name basis. lf one were to compare this with other jurisdictions in terms of international best-practices, for example, the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada, these are the basics that they have in their judicial conduct process. And l think Britain has taken it one step further where they have a Judicial Appointments and Conduct Ombudsman, which actually looks at the Official of Judicial Complaints process and ensures that the Office of Judicial Complaints itself is performing. Q: lf all So,the in shortcomings Britain, you have were an addressed, investigative would body thisand bean oversighta comprehensive body as well. bill? A: If it's addressed in the bill and the code, yes. 0ur present code is rather bare. It only provides for 10 different prohibitions.

Mostafa Rasoolimanesh, School of Housing, Building, and Planning, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia. Tel: 60-4-653-5278. E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 15, 2014 Accepted: September 17, 2014 Online Published: October 30, 2014 doi:10.5539/ass.v10n22p29 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v10n22p29 Abstract Lenggong Valley was recognised as a World Heritage Site in June 2012. The literature highlights the importance of community engagement in conservation programmes. Principally, the involvement of young people is necessary to facilitate heritage management programmes. The readiness of youth to engage can be measured from their awareness and willingness to participate. For this study, we administered questionnaire surveys to 175 respondents from three secondary schools in Lenggong. The results revealed a low level of awareness and a lack of willingness for participation. In addition, the findings suggest an uncertain correlation between awareness and willingness for participation among youth. Keywords: awareness, community engagement, Lenggong valley, World Heritage Site (WHS), youth, willingness 1. Introduction Heritage is frequently defined as our inheritance from the past, what endures into the present, and what continues into the future; allowing generations to gain knowledge, wonder at and benefit from (UNESCO, 1998, 2002).

  • Young Professionals' Housing Affordability Through
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 15 VOLUME 1 (2017), 369 - 376 YOUNG PROFESSIONALS’ HOUSING AFFORDABILITY THROUGH HOUSING PREFERENCES IN KUALA LUMPUR AND A REVIEW ON THE MEANS-END CHAIN MODEL Nor Suzylah Sohaimi1, Alias Abdullah2, Syafiee Shuid3, & Azila Ahmad Sarkawi4 1,2,3,4 Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract In a broad-spectrum, housing affordability issue is interrelated to young professional's well-being. However, this paper deliberated on young professional's housing preference in affordability context by taking into account some attributes of housing preference criteria. Data was obtained through questionnaire survey among 50 respondents aged between 25 and 35 years old and working in various professional fields in Kuala Lumpur. Descriptive analyses were then undertaken on the data from the survey. The study found that security criterion is the highest priority in housing preferences among the respondents. Having Wi-Fi is the second most important criterion. Additionally, this paper also provides a conceptual review on the Means-End Chain model.

  • Instituting Collaborative Governance: Accidental Or Designed?
    Instituting Collaborative Governance: Accidental or Designed? Abdillah Noh Tun Abdul Razak School of Government, Universiti Tun Abdul Razak, Malaysia Nadia Hezlin Yashaiya University of Western Australia, Australia This article describes Malaysia’s experience in collaborative governance. In making its case, the article will trace the role of Malaysia’s performance, management and delivery unit (PEMANDU) in providing preconditions to collaborative governance. It will examine PEMANDU’s various initiatives in bringing about economic and government transformation that has ultimately laid down, albeit nascent, institutionalization of collaborative governance. The paper concludes that Malaysia’s collaborative governance endeavor is an unintended consequence of Malaysia’s Economic Transformation and Government Transformation programmes. It argues that collaborative governance in Malaysia is still at an early stage primarily because the articulation of collaborative governance is nested within Malaysia’s larger policy concerns and a function of regime legitimacy. Background Since the year 2009, the Malaysian government has been embarking on ambitious government and transformation programmes. These programmes are, in part, responses to the ruling political party’s – the Barisan Nasional(BN) - waning popularity after it suffered heavy defeat at the 2008 general election, one in which the opposition parties took control of 5 states and increased their parliamentary seats from 22 to 82 seats. Among the first policy initiatives that the newly appointed Prime Minister Najib Razak introduced was the New Economic Model (NEM), whose objective is to promote inclusive growth which would allow Malaysia to join the ranks of world’s high-income economies. The introduction of the NEM was quickly followed by other initiatives to revamp the bureaucracy and the economy which came in the form of the government transformation programme (GTP) and the economic transformation programme (ETP) that, collectively, was termed the National Transformation Programme (NTP).
