Karim Raslan discusses the strengths Expectations and weaknesses of Mahathir’s hand-picked successor,Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

  • Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr
    Reply to YB Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Dr. Kelvin Yii, Member of Parliament for Bandar Kuching I thank you for your questions and your efforts in increasing registration among people in your respective constituencies. I will take your questions in turn below. 1. What is the geographical distribution of those above 60 who have yet to register for the COVID19 vaccine? Currently, registration for those above 60 stands at 40.1%. It ranges from 56.8% in Putrajaya, to 22.9% in Sabah. For States with low registration numbers such as in Sabah, Kelantan (25.1%), Terengganu (29.4%), Kedah (30.9%) and Pahang (31.5%), we are working with MKN, NADMA and the state governments on an outreach programme to encourage people to register, particularly for senior citizens. The outreach programme is not only to help them register for PICK but also to convince them on why it is important for people their age to be vaccinated against COVID-19. We also assure them that the vaccines are safe, effective and if they have any religious concerns, we also reassure them that the vaccines are halal. We are also working with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development to register and vaccinate residents and caregivers at elderly care homes. Mobile vaccination teams will be sent to the care homes to vaccinate on site. 2. What steps have been taken to work with state governments in order to increase the vaccine registration rate? I have spoken to all Menteris Besar and Chief Ministers virtually over the last month and a half.

  • Ambiga Barred from UM Talk; Law Students Submit Memo Free Malaysia Today 7 April 2014 Oleh P Ramani
    Ambiga barred from UM talk; law students submit memo Free Malaysia Today 7 April 2014 Oleh P Ramani KUALA LUMPUR: A group of Universiti Malaya law students handed a memorandum to Pakatan Rakyat members of parliament today to voice their dissatisfaction on academic freedom. According to Richtuyne Yusoff, the students’ spokesperson, UM’s Students Affairs Division’s decision to disallow former Bar council president and ex-Bersih 2.0 co-chairperson S Ambiga from giving a talk on ‘Public Interest Litigation’ in the university was deemed as suppressing academic freedom. Pakatan MPs who were present to receive the memo were Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming, Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin and Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari Richtuyne said that on March 25 an official letter was sent to deputy vice chancellor of Student Affairs to seek permission for Ambiga to deliver the lecture. The deputy vice chancellor agreed on the condition that there must also be a pro government speaker at the function to balance the view during the lecture. Nevertheless, on March 27, the approval was retracted with the reason that the lecture was not part of the programme. The talk, organised by the UM Law Society , was to have taken place on March 29. Curbing students rights Richtuyne also attempted to contact Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan to hand in a copy of the memorandum but the latter failed to response to the students. The students said they would pass a copy of the memorandum to the Pakatan MPs to be passed on to Kamalanathan. In the memorandum, the students are seeking the UM management not to intervene into students’ affairs.

  • Media Statement by Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Assistant Political Education Director for the Democrat
    Media Statement by Dr. Ong Kian Ming, Member of Parliament for Bangi and Assistant Political Education Director for the Democratic Action Party (DAP) on the 29th of March, 2021 Three recommendations to attract FDI back to Malaysia and prevent Malaysia from turning into the “sick man of Southeast Asia” Since the topic of Foreign Direct Investment (FDIs) have been in the news lately, I thought it would be useful for me to pull back the curtain and share the challenges and opportunities in attracting FDI to Malaysia based on my one and a half years as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). In doing so, I hope to shine the spotlight on what needs to be done in order to continue to make Malaysia an attractive FDI destination in South East Asia. It is still not too late to reverse the mistakes made in the ONE year of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government and prevent Malaysia from turning into the new "Sick Man of Southeast Asia". Broadly speaking, FDI inflows (by this I mean, manufacturing and services FDI, not equity FDI) into Malaysia comes in two forms. The first is FDI from already existing Multinational Corporations (MNCs) which have already invested in Malaysia. This would include the likes of INTEL’s long standing presence in Penang, SHELL’s Business Service Center in Cyberjaya and Standard Chartered’s Global Business Service center in Teknologi Park Malaysia (TPM), Bukit Jalil, just to name a few. Whether it is manufacturing or services (or manufacturing services), each of these MNCs will have to undertake periodic reviews with their Headquarters (HQs) on the business outlook of their Malaysian operations.
