I hope you can raise the question of why Malaysia is providing economic investment, military assistance and political protection to the Government of Sudan, which has been systematically killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions of people from their homes in Darfur.<BR/><BR/>The issues are underlined in this online petition. http://www.PetitionOnline.com/darfurmy/<BR/><BR/>I hope others can also sign the online petition. It will only take you 2 minutes!Sally Onghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691531799811793719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-86449708816886475882008-04-09T21:48:00.000+08:002008-04-09T21:48:00.000+08:00I would like to respond to one of the comments pos...I would like to respond to one of the comments posted by "anonymous" at 4.27 a.m. The so called illegal immigrants are quite likely refugees from Myanmar. They are Refugees and as refugees, they can't get permission to enter a country to seek asylum. Therefore, they are considered as Illegal migrants due the fact that Malaysia is not a signatory to the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. People who have to flee from their country in order to save their lives (for instance, from Myanmar) are actually refugees. Status wise, yes you can consider them as illegals. <BR/><BR/>As refugees, they are unlikely to commit crimes here as they are more afraid than anyone else being in this country. Ideally,they do not wish to be here but this is a choice for temporary stay while waiting for resettlement. They are always afraid to be arrested and that's why they are hiding in the jungle! They are VICTIMS of injustice and torture and they are harmless people. <BR/><BR/>I hope that YB can raise the concerns of the growing numbers of "refugees" by addressing the issue on a humanitarian basis. In addition, it seems that there are many cases of abuse and misuse of power by authorities in the process of arresting these "refugees" during raids. May I ask then, who is responsible for such "illegal, corrupted act" on these so called "illegals"?marychuahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037382455429597241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-19356100649372202232008-04-09T01:28:00.000+08:002008-04-09T01:28:00.000+08:00To make malaysia a beautiful place to live in, the...To make malaysia a beautiful place to live in, the government must provide better quality water to all households, better qualiy electricity ie reduce power surge, clean environment especially around residential area, to reduce spread of diseases like dengue fever and we must have vigilant police force to reduce crime rates.....God Bless Malaysia!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-72552956653181222372008-04-09T00:06:00.000+08:002008-04-09T00:06:00.000+08:00I CAN'T BELIEVE IT !!!!!!!!

Why should a Bumi below a certain income level get more welfare than an Indian who has the same pay?<BR/><BR/>NEP or its successor NDP supposedly wanted to empower the "disadvantaged race". But how disadvantaged is a race that holds all key government positions ( ministries, civil service officials) and C-level of government linked companies? The truly disadvantaged are still disadvantaged (Bumi or not) and race is no longer relevant, if it was relevant in the first place.<BR/><BR/>What is the BN's plan to do away with race as a prerequisite to receive welfare, contracts, etc?<BR/><BR/>2) RACIAL UNITY<BR/>The BN government complains racial disunity. How can racial unity be achieved if the current government consists of race-based component parties and there is an entrenched systematic racial discrimination?<BR/><BR/>What is the BN government's plan in the next 10 years to alleviate racial disunity?<BR/><BR/>3) GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY<BR/>We should have a Parliament website that permanently stores and allow public access the full footage of what happens in Dewan Rakyat (and possible Dewan Negara).

In time of incidence, the two on foot can summon the two in the patrol car for back-up. <BR/><BR/>2) Patrol in team of two on bicycles. This is highly visible to the public and can cover more ground.<BR/><BR/>3) Have plain cloth policemen riding in crowded LRT, KTM train to nab pick pockets and other petty criminal.<BR/><BR/>4) For repeat offender, banish them to penal settlements on islands to learn to be farmers and help pay for their upkeep.Sean Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723048398990103416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-3683019308890666852008-04-07T16:19:00.000+08:002008-04-07T16:19:00.000+08:00Dear Tony,Can you raise the issue of daily leakage...Dear Tony,<BR/><BR/>Can you raise the issue of daily leakage of our subsidised petrol and disesel to southern Thailand.

There are tw...YB Pua,<BR/><BR/>First of all, congratulations. <BR/><BR/>There are two or three specific acts that are important and perhaps "winnable" if brought up. The first is the Printing Presses and Publication Acts 1984, the second is the University and University Colleges Act 1971. <BR/><BR/>BN is still reeling from the defeat and is on survival mode. Everyone in BN is asking why didn't they see it coming, and how can they be more responsive to the populace in future. Interesting to note that an article in the Economist (http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?story_id=9724393) back in 30th August 2007 has already correctly diagnosed many of the social ills and in someway, perhaps predicted the current Tsunami. If BN has not closed its' own eyes by this Act on these writings on the wall, they would have the answer of their defeat from old magazines! And if BN wants to know the grassroot feeling in future, the best way forward is to have a free press. <BR/><BR/>So we see the problem, so what are the solutions? Instead of relying on people within the party with vested interests coming up with amateur solutions, the institutions of higher learning should be freed to investigate and propose solutions. Racial disintegration in the country? The sociology department could come up with numbers and answer on the trends and severity. But sadly, the learned experts in these institutions have their hands bound. If BN is serious about finding solutions, they would have to be honest to get to the diagnosis and consider proposals from true experts; and you can't have any of these unless the universities are unshackled. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, abolish these two Acts; the BN is doing herself, as well as Malaysia, a favour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-55543708239815787112008-04-07T11:39:00.000+08:002008-04-07T11:39:00.000+08:00Hindraf speaker ceramah release video in Brickfiel...Hindraf speaker ceramah release video in Brickfields. <BR/>Last strong Ceramah in Bricfields.
