  • PANDIKAR AMIN LIKENS POLITICS to FOOTBALL (Bernama 14
    14 AUG 2002 Pandikar-Football PANDIKAR AMIN LIKENS POLITICS TO FOOTBALL PUTRAJAYA, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- Former Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Pandikar Amin Mulia said he has no regrets about leaving the Cabinet as he likens politics to football, where a player has to stop playing when the referee blows the final whistle. "Politics is like football. If the referee blows the whistle, we have to stop playing even when we are still full of energy," he said. The 47-year-old politician said he now considers himself a reserve who is ready to serve the country again if called upon. "The important thing is not to play rough, especially when we need to be sidelined. Of course, we have to accept that we should sit on the bench for the time being. "If the need arises, no need to convince (me). Next time just give a signal; I shall always be there, Sir!" he said at a luncheon hosted by the Cabinet today to fete him. Pandikar Amin had to relinquish his post following the expiry of his term as a Senator on May 19. He has served the maximum two terms as a Senator from 1987 to 1989 and from 1999 to 2002. He recalled that 36 months ago when he was asked to serve at the federal level, he was a bit reluctant. However, he now felt very lucky to have had the opportunity to serve in the Cabinet and gained valuable experience. "Of course, like the prime minister said, I will miss all those things that I have shared with you for the past three years," he said in thanking Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad for giving him the trust to be a minister.

    ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PARLIAMENT OF MALAYSIA: A STUDY ON INTERRUPTIONS BY THE CHAIRPERSON IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Bonn vorgelegt von Nor Azura binti A Rahman aus Johor, Malaysia Bonn 2021 Gedruckt mit der Genehmigung der Philosophischen Fakultät der Rheinischen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn Zusammensetzung der Prüfungskommission: Prof. Dr. Stephan Conermann (Vorsitzende/Vorsitzender) Prof. Dr. Christoph Antweiler (Betreuerin/Betreuer und Gutachterin/Gutachter) Prof. Dr. Claudia Derichs (Gutachterin/Gutachter) Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 26 November 2020 i ABSTRACT The election of the chairman of the House of Representatives, a chamber of the Malaysian parliament, has always been determined by the ruling party. The centralization of executive power has also absorbed the function of the chairman, so that the chairman acts partisanly in parliamentary debates. Also, the chairman has developed into an institution that carries out agenda-setting within the framework of the parliament. This raises the conceptual question of whether legislation in Malaysia is still performed independently by the parliament. The observed patterns require an attempt to re-conceptualize the roles as well as the assigned meaning of various expressions of parliamentary routine, including those that are unwritten and informal, for instance those which can also be termed “subjective forms of rule” at one's own discretion. In my doctoral thesis, I apply an interdisciplinary analytical framework that relates to accountability studies, as well as micro- sociological direct interaction, the interpretations of procedural interactions in conversation, as well as studies of political discretion in parliamentary operations. My main research question asks how the Speaker of Parliament fulfils his responsibilities by disrupting ongoing parliamentary debates.

  • Keynote Address by Yb Dato' Sri Fadillah Yusof Minister
    KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY YB DATO’ SRI FADILLAH YUSOF MINISTER MINISTRY OF WORKS AT THE 2ND WORLD CONGRESS ON INFRASTRUCTURE ASSET MANAGEMENT (INFRAASSET2015) Distinguished guests, Ladies and gentlemen, 1. Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organising committee of the 2nd World Congress on Infrastructure Asset Management ( INFRAASSET2015 ) for inviting me to deliver the keynote address of this congress which I am indeed honored to give an overview on the infrastructure assets management in Malaysia. 2. As we aspire to be world class, this aspiration would not be possible if our infrastructures remained at the third world level. More importantly, being world class does not only mean providing world class infrastructures but also enhancing the economic status of the populace to that of world class where these 1 infrastructures built are privately funded instead of the traditional responsibility of the government . 3. The economic benefits of providing infrastructures are indeed wide and transcends the business community pervasively. As an economic activity, it has been reported that approximately 150 activities along the value and supply chain benefit from the development of a built-environment project. 4. In recent years, there has been significant increase in development expenditures to cope with the demands of a rapidly expanding economy. For instance, urban transportation which is being modernized and upgraded through the construction of new highways and expressways to overcome bottlenecks especially in the Klang Valley and its surrounding area. Malaysians were also provided with efficient rail services by the Express Rail Link (ERL) and Light Rail Transit (LRT), Monorail, Electric Trains and the latest being the comprehensive Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) .
