KUALA LUMPUR, 11 Okt – Ketua Penerangan UMNO, Datuk Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah berharap agar PDRM akan terus bertegas dan pimpinan Dap jangan menghalang atau menggunakan pengaruh tertentu untuk PDRM melaksanakan tugas mereka. Beliau berkata, ketegasan PDRM dalam tindakan berhubung penahanan dua ADUN Dap mesti diberikan pujian kerana soal keselamatan negara dan rakyat kita tidak boleh kompromi. “Maknanya, tidak kira sesiapa jika disyaki atau dibukti melakukan kesalahan tindakan mesti diambil mengikut undang-undang yang ada. Rakyat dan negara mesti diutamakan,” katanya dalam kenyataan media hari ini.

The appointment of Datuk Amarjit Singh as the Director of the Water Department by the State Government was in contravention of Section 3 of the Water Supply Enactment 2003, the High Court ruled, Wednesday. Judge Ravinthran N. Paramaguru delivered the decision in his chambers for the law suit filed by former Chief Minister Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee (pictured, third from left) and Tawau businessman Pang Thou Chung on March 19 of this year. The plaintiffs named Amarjit and the State Government as the first and second defendants, respectively.

They also claimed in their suit that Amarjit’s actions since his Aug 10, 2018 appointment had jeopardise...

Dr. Ahmed Razman dan Barjoyai Rakyat perlu bersedia menghadapi kenaikan harga barangan susulan keputusan kerajaan melaksanakan pemberian subsidi bersasar kepada 2.9 juta golongan B40 menerusi Program Subsidi Petrol (PSP) bermula 1 Januari tahun depan. Pakar ekonomi, Prof Dr Barjoyai Bardai berkata, harga petrol RON95 dijangka meningkat apabila kerajaan melaksanakan pengapungan harga petrol berkenaan. "Harga RON95 mungkin meningkat dalam lingkungan 20 peratus kerana subsidi dihapuskan yang akan menyebabkan kesan kepada harga barang khususnya kos pengangkutan. "Harga barang penghantaran juga akan naik dan kos sara hidup rakyat dijangka lebih meningkat jika harga," katanya kepada Sinar Harian. Menurut beliau, program PSP itu juga dilihat kurang berkesan jika harga minyak meningkat berikutan nilai subsidi itu rendah serta bersifat tetap. "Mereka hanya menerima RM30 untuk kereta dan RM12 sebulan untuk motosikal. Nilai ini terlampau rendah terutama bagi penerima yan...

(The Sun Daily) – Any move to adopt a single-stream education system should encompass religious schools as well as Chinese and Tamil vernacular schools, according to a PKR leader. Dr Afif Bahardin, who is deputy head of the party’s Permatang Pauh division, said only banning the vernacular schools to pave the way for a single-stream school was not sufficient. “It has to be across the board, and that includes religious schools,” he said. He was commenting on a call to ban Chinese and Tamil schools at the Malay Dignity Congress held in Shah Alam yesterday. According to Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris graduate Nurul Fatin Aqilah Rahim, who made the proposal, the move would promote unity. Afif said this was the issue that caught his attention at the congress. [Baca seterusnya di  Malaysia Today ]

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim says the finance minister must be one competent to carry out the job.
