  • Sabah BN Must Overcome Voters' Unhappiness, State Leaders Say
    Sabah BN must overcome voters’ unhappiness, state leaders say Malaysian Insider October 07, 2012 By Ida Lim KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — The Sabah government needs to find out why voters surveyed last month are dissatisfied with it, especially the economy, and work to improve their services, say Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders from the coalition’s key votebank. A Merdeka Center survey released on Friday showed that 57 per cent were dissatisfied with Sabah’s economic performance and only 56 per cent of Sabah voters were satisfied with the state government, a six per cent drop from 62 per cent in November 2009. The country’s easternmost state has been described as BN’s “fixed deposit”. “I think the only way to solve all the problem, BN Sabah should work smart and consider what (are the) people’s problem, what people need,” said senior Umno backbencher Datuk Bung Moktar Radin, adding that the BN goverment “should do more” to develop the state. But Bung Mokhtar said the state government cannot deliver everything, pointing out that it was the same for other states and even United States President Barack Obama has been criticised by his own people. “What I can see state government is hardworking, of course not everything they can deliver,” the Kinabatangan MP told The Malaysian Insider. “The people, they know how to see you, they know how to judge you. We cannot hide anything,” he said, when commenting on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman’s ratings. The survey showed Najib’s ratings remaining stable at 75 per cent, but Musa’s fell from 60 per cent in November 2009 to 45 per cent in September, suggesting the ruling BN will be faced with some hurdles in its stronghold ahead of elections soon.

  • Tawaran Kerja Sama Politik Ditolak Oposisi, Masa Depan PM Muhyiddin Makin Suram
    Tawaran Kerja Sama Politik Ditolak Oposisi, Masa Depan PM Muhyiddin Makin Suram Realitarakyat.com – Para pemimpin partai oposisi di Malaysia menolak tawaran kerja sama politik dari PM Muhyiddin Yassin dan menuntutnya segera mundur. Sebelumnya pada Jumat (13/8) Muhyiddin secara terbuka mengakui ia tak memiliki suara mayoritas di Parlemen dan meminta dukungan dalam voting mosi tidak percaya pada September nanti. Sebagai imbal balik, Muhyiddin menjanjikan tujuh tawaran kepada para pemimpin partai oposisi. Di antara tujuh penawaran tersebut adalah pembatasan masa jabatan Perdana Menteri menjadi maksimal dua periode, dengan satu periode lima tahun, pengajuan RUU Anti Lompat Partai, serta mengurangi batasan usia pemilih dari semula 21 tahun menjadi 21 tahun. Hari ini partai oposisi ramai-ramai menolak tawaran tersebut, salah satunya Pakatan Harapan. “Ini adalah kali pertama dalam sejarah Malaysia seorang Perdana Menteri mengakui ia telah kehilangan suara mayoritas, tapi terus mencari dukungan,” menurut keterangan resmi Pakatan Harapan. “Pakatan Harapan telah mengambil sikap untuk menolak keras semua tawaran tidak tulus dari Tan Sri Muhyiddin yang seharusnya dilakukan lebih awal dan bukan pada akhir kehidupan politiknya.” Penolakan juga disampaikan oleh Presiden UMNO Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi dan Presiden Pejuang Tanah Air, Mukhriz Mahathir. “UMNO tidak bisa mempertimbangkan tawaran dari seseorang yang tidak lagi memiliki legitimasi,” kata Ahmad Zahid dalam keterangan resmi.

  • Making Sure Logistics Chain Continues Moving
    Making Sure Logistics Chain Continues Moving KUALA LUMPUR : The easy availability of face masks in Malaysia at a reasonable price during the most critical moments did not happen by chance. It was the result of a decisive move to ensure supply arrived here on time. In an interview to mark his impending 100 days in office this Thursday, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the matter was not a result of market forces at play. Owing to the sudden high global demand for face masks, initial supply in Malaysia was limited, leading to prices spiralling as high as RM2.50 to RM3 apiece. “Scammers also seized the chance to cheat anxious consumers We needed to act quickly. The Transport Ministry suggested the use of grounded aircraft – such as MASkargo – to bring in the masks. This was the fastest way because many ships were not sailing. “Credit goes to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin for the brave decision to order a huge amount of face masks from China, up to 50 million pieces. “This flooded the market and reduced the tension during a critical juncture, ” Dr Wee said, adding that subsequent supply availability also allowed the government to set the ceiling price for the much sought-after item. A further decision by the government to waive the 20% import duty and 10% sales tax brought prices down further. On March 20, the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry included face masks under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering (Determination of Maximum Price) Order 2020 while at the same time banning the export of face masks.
