KLIH is the parent company of Malaysia Electric Corporation Bhd, developer of the national project.MEC has 60 per cent equity and Khazanah Nasional Bhd owns the remaining 30 per cent.

Umno Supreme Council to Fix Dates for Assembly, Party Polls Today
03/01/2000 Umno Supreme Council to fix dates for assembly, party polls today Ramlan Said UMNO, the backbone of the Barisan Nasional, is up for another test soon - election of office bearers in the supreme council. While the Nov 29 general election which was held last year was important in allowing the people to choose the Government, the Umno polls are equally vital as it involves electing the party's key decision-makers. While party members are making preparations for that, others outside the party are also caught up in the excitement. This is an election which is closely followed within and outside the party. "One should realise the importance of the decision that's going to be made by the party delegates. They are actually choosing the future leaders of this country," as one senior MCA leader observed. It is hard not to agree with this as Umno's top echelons equal the country's top leaders. By convention, the Umno president and deputy president have always become the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Besides, two-thirds of the Cabinet Ministers' posts are usually held by Umno, not to mention the posts of Deputy Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries. Umno is, after all, the mainstay of the ruling coalition. "The party election may be Umno's internal affair but I feel all Malaysians, irrespective of their race or religion, have a stake in it as it is actually a process of determining the leaders of the country," said the same MCA leader. Umno delegates to the assembly should take note of their heavy responsibility when casting their votes. -

ATM Sebagai Tiang Seri Kedaulatan Dan Pertahanan Negara Mestilah Berada Pada Tahap Kesiagaan Yang Tertinggi Pada Sebilang Masa
1 88 PENA KETUA PENGARANG kepada negara-negara lain yang sedang membangun dan disegani di mata dunia meskipun pernah dijajah satu ketika dahulu. Jasa dan pengorbanan pejuang-pejuang negara satu ketika dahulu tidak pernah dilupakan. Bagi terus menghargai pengorbanan yang telah diberikan, sambutan Hari Pahlawan telah dijadikan sebagai salah satu acara tahunan. Acara ini adalah bagi memperingati individu-individu yang telah gugur di medan perang dalam mempertahankan kedaulatan negara agar isinya dapat menikmati keamanan berterusan. Justeru, marilah bersama-sama kita bertafakur sejenak dan mendoakan kesejahteraan para syahid yang gugur agar mereka memperolehi syafaat sebagai pejuang yang lhamdulillah memanjat kesyukuran kehadrat mempertahankan negara, agama dan bangsa. Illahi dengan limpah inayahNya, kita masih Rentetan daripada itu, semangat juang yang telah dikurniakan suasana kehidupan yang aman dipamerkan oleh pejuang tanah air dahulu tidak dan damai. Namun begitu, harus kita sedari seharusnya dibiarkan terkubur bersemadi bersama Abahawa kemakmuran yang dinikmati kini adalah hasil jasad-jasad mereka. Semangat itu seharusnya dibawa titisan darah dan pengorbanan pejuang-pejuang negara dari generasi ke generasi amnya oleh para pasukan bagi memastikan generasi akan datang hidup dalam keselamatan dan khasnya kepada Angkatan Tentera persikitaran yang bebas merdeka. Tanpa pengorbanan Malaysia (ATM). 82 tahun setelah penubuhan ATM mereka, belum tentu kita akan merasai apa yang telah diyakini mematangkan lagi ketumbukan ini sebagai dikecapi kini. -
More State Leaders, Ministers Support PM's Decision (NST 04/09/1998)
04/09/1998 More State leaders, ministers support PM's decision KUALA LUMPUR, Thurs. - Several more State-level political entities held special meetings to discuss Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad's decision to remove Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim from the Cabinet yesterday. At the end of the meetings, they joined several Cabinet Ministers to express support for the Prime Minister's decision. International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz said what happened was a "sad turn of events". "Certainly all of us have to understand the reasons. It shows that no one is above the law. "Where the law applies, it does not matter whether it involves a big or small man," she said after opening the 11th Malaysia-Taiwan Joint Meeting in Seri Kembangan, Selangor. "But of course there will be some who may not understand. So we have to listen very carefully to what's happening and understand the reason why it's done." In Durban, South Africa, Umno vice-president and Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has described Anwar as a person whom the Prime Minister loved dearly and also a potential successor. He said Dr Mahathir must have had strong evidence and had weighed things carefully before taking such an action on Anwar. "The PM loves Anwar but I am sure this does not outweigh his love for the country and the party. It again reflects Dr Mahathir's firmness and principle in dealing with situations," he told Malaysian journalists. Abdullah, who is Umno vice-president, is leading the Malaysian delegation at the 12th Non-Aligned Movement summit in the South African seaside resort.
