Quit PAC to debate 1MDB boss, speaker tells Pua MalaysiaKini.com Nov 3 rd , 2015 Zikri Kamarulzaman Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia has ordered DAP lawmaker Tony Pua to either resign from the Public Accounts Committee or abstain from the committee's probe on 1MDB if he wants to debate the firm's boss Arul Kanda. Pua had issued the challenge for a live television show on 1MDB, which the firm's president had accepted. Arul had initially wanted Pua to relinquish his post in PAC but later retracted this condition. Pandikar also ruled that Arul can no longer be a witness in the PAC probe if the debate goes on. "This is to maintain PAC's transparency in line with House rules," the speaker said, refering to rules that bar testimonies and findings by the PAC from being made public before they are presented to the Dewan Rakyat. Pandikar also said the debate could bring up premature matters that were still being probed, derail the investigations and make the public prejudiced against the PAC findings. Opposition lawmakers rose to question Pandikar's ruling. Takiyuddin Hassan (PAS-Kota Bharu) and Teo Nie Ching (DAP-Kulai) questioned if Pandikar had the power to issue a gag order on Arul, who has been actively making statements in the media defending 1MDB. "No, I don't have the power to issue a gag order on anyone. Even when I use my power in this House you MPs don't listen to me," Pandikar replied. Questions dismissed However, he did not elaborate on why Arul can no longer be a PAC witness and instead questioned why the debate was being rushed through. "Why can't this be held after the PAC findings are presented to the House? [...] this debate will not provide answers," Pandikar said. He refused to entertain a question on what his ruling would be if another MP was to debate Arul instead of Pua as is being planned. Pandikar also dismissed a request from Lim Lip Eng (DAP-Segambut) who asked the speaker to delay making a decision until Pua was in the House to defend himself. The speaker said there were no House rules which required him to wait for an MP to be present before making a ruling. Copyright © 1999-2012 Mkini Dotcom Sdn.

Anti guan eng - ambiga posters in Taman Tun Dr Ismail“We urge TTDI police to announce openly who the culprits are, because the police should be able to easily identify them through the many CCTV recently installed in TTDI under Najib's transformation programme,” tweeted Lim.

Journal of Media and Information Warfare Vol. 9, 139-178, June 2017 Frame Contention in Different Types of Media Ownership - A Comparison between The Star Online and Sinar Online’s Media Coverage on 2017 Budget Mohammad Noorhusni Mohd Zaini1 Abd Rasid Abd Rahman2 Centre for Media and Information Warfare Studies Faculty of Communication and Media Studies Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected] [email protected] Received Date: 20/2/2017 Accepted Date:30/5/2017 Published Date: 27/6/2017 ABSTRACT This study intends to examine the difference of media coverage between The Star, owned by ruling party and Sinar Harian, a privately-owned news provider on the 2017 Budget. Media ownership is understood to be affecting objectivity in media coverage, given its influence on the sources to be used, as well as how issues are portrayed. This content analysis study used a census sample of the first 14 days after its tabling. To differentiate the coverage between these two mainstream news provider, the researcher studied the sources used by both news providers, frames utilized in the coverage of the budget using Semetko and Valkenberg’s (2000) generic news frame, as well as the news slants that are apparent in both news providers’ reporting of the budget as basis for comparison. Results of ISSN 1985-563X © 2017 Centre for Media and Information Warfare Studies, Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, UiTM 139 Journal of Media and Information Warfare the study show that while both news providers mostly used the ruling government representative as their sources and the responsibility frame in their coverage, a sheer difference can be seen in the news slants as The Star’s coverage of the budget are more positive, as compared to Sinar Online which can be considered more balanced.

February 11, 2016 The Honorable Mr. Barack Obama President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, As members of parliament from Southeast Asia, dedicated to the promotion and protection of human rights, we write to express our desire for you to make discussion of human rights and the democratic aspirations of the people of ASEAN a priority during the upcoming summit at the Sunnylands estate in California on 15-16 February 2016. As you are surely aware, democracy is struggling in Southeast Asia. Many countries in our region have taken dramatic steps backward in the past two years. While Southeast Asia appeared to be on the cusp of a genuine political transformation only a few years ago, more recently the region has instead witnessed military takeovers, the rollback of fundamental rights, intensifying government-sponsored discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, and the increasing persecution of activists and opposition voices, including fellow parliamentarians. These setbacks constitute a fundamental threat to the future of the ASEAN Community and the US relationship with it. While we recognize and understand your administration’s desire to strengthen trade and security cooperation with Southeast Asian governments, we urge you to proceed with caution. Human rights, democracy, and basic dignity cannot take a backseat to economic or security prerogatives. Open dialogue on fundamental political and rights-based questions is vital to ensuring the sustainability of bilateral relationships and promoting broad-based benefits of trans-Pacific cooperation. When you sit down with ASEAN leaders in California, we urge you to press them on unfulfilled human rights commitments and to directly raise specific concerns with them.

Pandikar Can Leave, My Duty Is to Attend Parliament, Says Lip Eng Malaysiakini.Com Nov 4Th, 2016 Shakira Buang Dewan Rakya
Pandikar can leave, my duty is to attend Parliament, says Lip Eng MalaysiaKini.com Nov 4 th , 2016 Shakira Buang Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia could leave the Dewan if he is uncomfortable with the presence of DAP lawmaker Lim Lip Eng in Parliament, said the Segambut MP. Lim was responding to Pandikar's call on Wednesday for the MP not to attend Parliament when he is chairing it, if he does not respect the position of the speaker. "I feel if he isn't comfortable with me being in Parliament, he can leave, not I. "This is because I am chosen by the voters to attend Parliament and raise national issue and issues related to Segambut, but Pandikar is not elected but appointed," said Lim. "Therefore, it is my duty to attend Parliament. "I repeat to Pandikar, if he is not happy to see me in the Dewan then he could leave," Lim told Malaysiakini today when met. He was speaking at the sidelines of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) 2017 budget dialogue with MPs and civil society leaders at the DBKL Training Institute in Kuala Lumpur. Lim said Pandikar's behaviour was childish and he was loathe to comment. "I really don't want to respond on the speaker's challenge as I consider it childish. "As a speaker he should not behave like that. (In any case) yesterday when I went to Parliament while Pandikar was chairing the session he didn't do anything," said Lim. Last week, the speaker evicted Lim from the Parliament's special chamber.

Mr. Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General of the United Nations United Nations New York, NY 10017, U.S.A Fax: 1(212) 963 2155, 1(212) 963 1185 Via facsimile Your Excellencies, On behalf of 442 Members of Parliament from 29 countries around the world, we are writing to urge the United Nations Security Council to launch an investigation into crimes against humanity committed by the military regime in Burma (Myanmar) and to impose a global arms embargo on that regime. Such action is long overdue. Burma’s military regime has carried out brutal attacks on its own people for decades. According to the Thailand Burma Border Consortium (TBBC), a humanitarian agency providing aid to Burmese refugees and displaced persons for 25 years, through these attacks, the regime has destroyed over 3,500 ethnic minority villages in eastern Burma since 1996. Here, at least 75,000 people were forced to leave their homes during this past year alone, and more than half a million people remain internally displaced. TBBC has described the situation in Burma as being comparable to the situation in Darfur. Furthermore, these crimes against humanity in Burma are well documented by various UN bodies, although none of them have taken effective action.
