Untuk julung kalinya, Kementerian menganjurkan program Kebajikan berskala besar selama Satu Bulan bagi mengiktiraf kumpulan sasar dan pada masa yang sama memberikan perkhidmatan secara terus kepada masyarakat yang ingin mendapatkan perkhidmatan yang ditawarkan oleh Jabatan. Ian 3 Ia selari dengan slogan “merakyatkan perkhidmatan awam” dan juga hashtag Deliver! Deliver! Deliver! yang telah dilaungkan oleh YAB Perdana Menteri semasa perhimpunan penjawat awam pada awal tahun ini. PENGANJURAN BKN 2017 YAB Dato’ Sri dan para hadirin yang dihormati sekalian, 7. Penganjuran Bulan Kebajikan Negara 2017 adalah selaras dengan pendekatan inklusiviti di mana semua masyarakat tidak akan dipinggirkan dan ia merupakan komitmen dan inisiatif Kerajaan yang berteraskan Rancangan Malaysia Ke-11 dan Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) atau Agenda 2030. 8. “Memperkukuh Inklusiviti Ke Arah Kesejahteraan Masyarakat” telah dipilih sebagai tema penganjuran Bulan Kebajikan Negara 2017 kali. 9. Majlis Prapelancaran Bulan Kebajikan Negara 2017 telah diadakan pada 10 September 2017 yang lalu di Beaufort, Sabah yang mana mulai tarikh tersebut, setiap negeri turut mengadakan sambutan Bulan Kebajikan Negara 2017 di peringkat negeri masing-masing dengan mengadakan pelbagai program dan aktiviti yang menzahirkan tanggungjawab kebajikan secara inklusif melibatkan setiap lapisan masyarakat. KERJASAMA MULTISEKTORAL YAB Dato’ Sri serta para hadirin sekalian 4 10. Sambutan ini merupakan salah satu platform untuk menjalinkan kerjasama multisektoral selaras dengan pendekatan Strategi Lautan Biru Kebangsaan (NBOS) melalui penggemblengan tenaga dan penyertaan pelbagai pihak iaitu agensi-agensi Kerajaan, pihak korporat, NGO, pemimpin- pemimpin masyarakat dan komuniti setempat untuk bersama- sama mencurahkan khidmat bakti dan sumbangan kepada golongan yang memerlukan. 11. Besar harapan saya supaya seluruh komponen masyarakat dan komuniti Malaysia mengambil peluang dalam Bulan Kebajikan Negara ini untuk memupuk elemen kebajikan, kesukarelawanan, kebersamaan dan kerukunan antara kita agar selari dengan nilai-nilai murni yang terus disemarakkan dengan kesedaran bahawa kebajikan adalah tanggungjawab bersama. PENUTUP 12. Akhir kata, saya mengucapkan setinggi terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah menyokong usaha Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat untuk memberikan perkhidmatan kebajikan yang terbaik kepada seluruh masyarakat yang memerlukan. Semoga setiap usaha murni yang kita lakukan akan sentiasa mendapat keberkatan daripada Allah subhanahuwataala. Sekian. Wabillahi Taufik Wal Hidayah Wassalammualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. 5 .

  • 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. Ahmad juga menyarankan masyarakat untuk tetap tenang sampai Yang di-Pertuan Agong melakukan tanggung jawab konstitusionalnya berdasarkan Pasal 40 (2) untuk mengangkat perdana menteri baru dari antara anggota DPR. Penolakan lain disampaikan oleh Majelis Kepresidenen Pakatan Harapan Anwar Ibrahim (Presiden Partai Keadilan Rakyat), Hj Mohamad Sabu (Presiden Partai Amanah Negara), dan Lim Guan Eng (Presiden Partai Tindakan Demokratik atau DAP) dalam pernyataan pers di Kuala Lumpur, Sabtu.

INTRODUCTION Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. It is indeed a great pleasure for me to be with all of you in this significant event. As we all know, Malaysian Chinese Women Entrepreneurs Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organization established on 6 July 2011. The Foundation was officially launched at the Klang Hokkien Association by our Honourable Prime Minister YAB Dato’Sri Najib Razak, and it is now into its 5th year. 2. The Founder, Tan Sri SP Lim once told me that many women, especially single mothers, want to start-up small businesses that can help the family with extra income and at the same time allowing them to spend time and take care of their children. But many of them live in remote villages, with limited education and no access to business opportunities and network. They have no collateral to raise the start-up 1 capital. They yearn for city life, and they want to run their own businesses. Their maternal instinct gives them a strong sense of responsibility with the hope to create a more comfortable living environment for their children. 3. Tan Sri SP Lim has relentlessly persuaded the Ministry of Finance and the Prime Minister’s Department to provide a grant from which loans can be given to these category of women.

  • Speech by DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng at the DAP
    Speech by DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng at the DAP National Special Congress on 12 November 2017 at the IDCC Shah Alam, Selangor A Democratic, Progressive and Prosperous Malaysia for the many Preamble We, the DAP national delegates, gather here today for our National Special Congress as requested by the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to hold a fresh election for the Central Executive Committee members, once again. We had earlier decided to accept the instructions by the ROS, under protest. Since the last National Conference on 4th December 2016, we lost two of DAP’s most important national leaders, the former Secretary-General and my university mate Sdr. Kerk Kim Hock and the former Perak Chairman and one of the earliest DAP members Sdr. Lau Dak Kee. Both of them were detained under the Internal Security Act during the Ops Lalang in 1 987. Let us pay tribute to Sdr Kerk and Lau for their contributions to the Party and to Malaysia, especially during difficult dark years. 1. Crisis and leadership Before I proceed into the details of this special meeting, let us together express DAP’s solidarity with the people of Penang for the recent unprecedented natural disaster of worst flood and storm in history that befell upon us on 4th and 5th November. No words can fully grasp the unexpected calamity. On behalf of DAP, let me express my sincerest gratitude to Penangites and Malaysians that have helped our people during the tumultuous time, and those who continue to assist us till this very moment. Your precious assistance, contributions and donations will forever be appreciated.

Earlier today two parties quit a parliamentary coalition, a move that opened the way for a new election to clear what a politician called "Moscow agents" from the chamber, a decision welcomed by President Petro Poroshenko. Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk's resignation could leave a hole at the heart of decision-making when Ukraine is struggling to fund a war with pro-Russian rebels in its east and dealing with the aftermath of a plane crash that killed 298 people. The usually mild-mannered Yatseniuk bellowed at politicians who had failed to pass a law to allow a liberalisation of control over Ukraine's pipeline system. He said Ukraine's politicians were at risk of losing the hearts and minds of the thousands who protested for months in the "Maidan" protests in favour of joining Europe and against a pro-Moscow president.

  • DPM Dares Mystery Man in Putsch Plot to Deny It Malaysiakini.Com Aug 15, 2015
    DPM dares mystery man in putsch plot to deny it MalaysiaKini.com Aug 15, 2015 Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has challenged the Umno leader he claimed was planning to "topple the government", to deny it publicly. "If he has guts, this person must deny it through the press," said Ahmad Zahid. Speaking at the Klang Umno division annual general meeting today, Ahmad Zahid said that the plot and its plotter was real. "I know this thing is happening because as Home Minister, I receive information and I will also find out who is behind it. "I don't have to expose the person as this will reveal itself," he said, according to Bernama. Earlier today, Ahmad Zahid had claimed that this mystery person was attempting was "topple the government" by getting MPs from both sides of the divide to sign a seven-page statutory declaration. Once that is done, the MPs will declare that they have the majority in the Dewan Rakyat. Court of perception Despite challenging the person to deny it, Ahmad Zahid did not provide any names. Thus far, Johor Menteri Besar Khaled Nordin has publicly stated that he was not the person mentioned by Ahmad Zahid. Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid warned Umno members against persecuting its leader based on perception. "This is because there are four types of courts, namely the court of justice, people's court who are the voters, court of perception and court of public opinion. "It is unfair for our nation's top leaders, especially (Prime Minister) Najib (Abdul Razak), to be judged by the court of public opinion and court of perception because we know they cannot do that.
