KEMPEN MENDAFTAR JADI PENGUNDI

Semasa zaman penjajahan, rakyat negara ini tidak diberi peluang memilih pemimpin mahupun kerajaan yang disukai. Maka, saya menasihatkan generasi hari ini supaya menghargai kehidupan serba mewah yang wujud sekarang.  - SURURI ABDUL KARIM, 87 (telah mengundi dalam semua PRU)

Jarumemas teringatkan telatah arwah abah semasa di pusat mengundi pada PRU ke-12. Allahyarham tidak pernah melepaskan peluang untuk mengundi walaupun dalam keadaan uzur. PRU 12 adalah kali terakhir  arwah mengundi. Arwah sangat sedih apabila banyak kerusi jatuh kepada pembangkang terutamanya kawasan Parlimen dan DUN  tempat dia membuang undi. Semasa sihat, arwah akan berjaga sampai ke pagi menanti keputusan pilihan raya dan akan mencatat setiap kemenangan dan kekalahan calon BN. Arwah meninggal pada 6 November 2008.

POLL PANEL PROPOSES MINIMUM FOUR-YEAR MANDATE FOR NEW GOVERNMENTS

KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 — Parliament’s electoral reforms panel has recommended future federal governments serve out a minimum four-year term before being allowed to call elections.

“The committee recommends that the duration of Parliament can only be dissolved after it has achieved four years and this shall be provided for in the law,” the panel said in its report tabled to the Dewan Rakyat today.

Article 3 of the Federal Constitution currently states that, “Parliament, unless sooner dissolved, shall continue for five years from the date of its first meeting and shall then stand dissolved.”

The bipartisan nine-member panel, formed six months ago, however noted that the power to determine the date of Parliament’s dissolution does not come under the jurisdiction of the Election Commission (EC).

Jarumemas agree with this reccommendation. The four-year durations of Parliament will give both the existing govenrment and the oppositions ample time to fulfil and review all their promises to the rakyat.

LONJAKAN PENGUNDI TURUT BERLAKU DI KERUSI BN

Lonjakan mendadak bilangan pengundi bukan sahaja berlaku di kerusi yang diwakili Pakatan Rakyat, tetapi juga di kerusi BN, antaranya Parlimen Gua Musang dan Pekan. Ia adalah antara 17 kawasan parlimen yang mencatatkan peningkatan lebih daripada 20 peratus bilangan pengundi sejak pilihan raya umum 2008.

Peningkatan tersebut, yang melebihi purata nasional sebanyak 13.8 peratus, dikesan dalam daftar pemilih yang dikemaskini pada suku akhir 2011.

Daripada 17 kerusi tersebut, sembilan dimenangi Pakatan dalam pilihan raya umum lalu - Bukit Gantang (kekal disandang Pakatan dalam pilihan raya kecil pada 2009), Gopeng, Hulu Selangor (dirampas kembali BN dalam pilihan raya kecil pada 2010), Selayang, Hulu Langat, Serdang, Puchong, Subang dan Kota Raja.

Tujuh lagi kerusi ialah di negeri Selangor yang ditadbir Pakatan, masing-masing tiga di Perak dan Johor, dua di Pahang dan masing-masing satu di Kelantan dan Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya.

Lonjakan bilangan pengundi di Gua Musang dan Pekan dilihat sebagai satu kejutan, kerana kedua-dua kawasan pilihan raya itu terletak di kawasan luar bandar dengan pertumbuhan penduduk yang perlahan. Di samping itu, ia merupakan kubu kuat BN yang dijangka tidak berdepan dengan persaingan politik yang sengit.

HEDONISM MAKES MUSLIM EASY PREY FOR CHRISTIANS, SAYS HASAN ALI

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — Growing hedonism, materialism and liberalism among Muslims have weakened their faith and made them easy targets for Christianisation, Datuk Hasan Ali said today.

The sacked Selangor executive councillor for Islamic affairs told reporters this after screening videos of Malays who have allegedly converted to Christianity, one of whom had been involved in drugs and gangsterism before being given shelter and a paying job by a Christian group.

“This Westernisation and modernisation brings hedonism, the desire to be entertained without limits. It weakens the character and this is why it is so easy to convert them,” the former Selangor PAS chief said.

In a 16-minute “summary” video of testimonials by Malays who claim to have returned to Islam, Hasan also said hedonism is proliferating among Muslims who “instead of sleeping, go out late at night with friends. That is why we see Muslims jumping to join Christians.”

GUAN ENG CALLS MUHYIDDIN'S EDICATION CLAIM ‘PREPOSTEROUS'

KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — Lim Guan Eng has ridiculed the deputy prime minister’s claim that the standard of local education is superior to that of Britain, the United States and Germany, calling the statement so “preposterous” that “even a primary school student won’t believe” it.

The Penang chief minister pointed out that while British, American and German universities are widely acknowledged to be among the best in the world, not a single Malaysian university had made it into the top 200 global rankings.

“I don’t know on what basis he is saying that our education system is better than the UK, US and Germany’s...,” he told reporters in George Town today.

“If that is the case, why are all our students going to the UK, US and Germany to study? Why is it no students from the UK, US and Germany are coming to Malaysia to study?”

ooppss!!!....Malaysia is not their choice to study, Mr CM.

HIGH COURT REJECTS BID TO STOP FELDA LISTING

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — The Kuantan High Court today rejected an application by eight FELDA settlers to halt the listing plans of FELDA Global Ventures Holdings (FGVH).

The settlers had last month won a temporary court order blocking the transfer of shares from their FELDA Investment Co-operative (KPF) to FGVH, a crucial step in the plan to list the plantation firm.

“The Kuantan High Court decided to reject the application made by the eight plaintiffs (KPF shareholders) at 12pm today.

“Whether or not an appeal will be filed or further action to be taken will be decided later,” FELDA Settlers Children’s Association (ANAK) chairman Mazlan Aliman told The Malaysian Insider.

ooppss!!...Why not FELDA file a suit against ANAK asking them to proove that FELDA is not transparent  in listing the FGVH.
