‘UNSCRUPULOUS’ POLITICIAN NAJIB SLAMMED: DON’T LET M’SIAN HOSTAGES SUFFER CRUEL FATE AT JONG-UN’S HANDS SO YOU CAN PLAY HERO – MUHYIDDIN, PAS

Know helping BN to win elections, this is crazy Malaysia and maybe Najib paid NK leader few million USD. NK short of cash and will do anything to earn money. Now hired / paid to kidnap Malaysian embassy staff so that our PM can come out looking like a hero. Oops I think when NK leader smells money he will and more and more and also want a hostage and can send Rosmah there in exchange for the embassy staff. Heard NK leader loves plastic and bulky type of woman. Bulky woman with tiny feet cannot run too far and he is into anal sex

Key word - Don’t exploit diplomatic row’

The diplomatic row between Malaysia and North Korea must not be exploited for political mileage, said Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Muhyiddin Yassin.

He also revealed that ties between PAS and Bersatu are becoming warmer after the Islamist party made overtures for a meeting on seat allocations. Muhyiddin said that after many attempts to forge ties, PAS has finally invited his party to the negotiation table.

Meanwhile Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad is scheduled to attend a party event at Padang Rengas in Perak, which is the parliamentary constituency of his staunch critic, Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz, who cheekily responded that he would roll out the red carpet for his former boss.

‘Korean drama’ may benefit BN

PAS leader Iskandar Samad speculated that BN might gain from the current crisis where 11 Malaysians are barred from leaving North Korea, recalling how the Falklands War had helped former UK premier Margaret Thatcher win big in the elections.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said the 11 Malaysian citizens who have been made unwilling guests in North Korea are not under detention. “So there is no worry about their safety,” he told journalists at the Parliament building yesterday.

Meanwhile a YouTube video has emerged depicting a man who claimed to be murdered North Korean Kim Jong-nam’s son, Kim Han-sol.

The 40-second clip, titled KHS Video, was uploaded on the YouTube page of a group called Cheollima Civil Defense, which is said to be protecting Han Sol and other members in his family.

More Kinibites

A BN lawmaker grilled Deputy Health Minister Dr Hilmi Yahya over decrepit hospital equipment and lack of specialist doctors, claiming that in remote areas in Sarawak, those who go to hospitals end up dead.

An Umno Youth division leader from Johor and a woman were remanded yesterday to assist investigations into alleged fraud related to Rumah Mampu Milik Johor (RRMJ) affordable housing scheme.

Parliament has rejected a question on whether attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali still stands by his assertion that Najib is innocent over the claim that the US$681 million in his personal bank account was an Arab “donation”.

This was in view of law suit filed by the US Department of Justice last year which sought to reclaim the “stolen money” allegedly siphoned from sovereign wealth fund 1MDB. The DOJ claimed that part of the money went into the bank account of a Malaysian Official 1 (MO1).

The Finance Ministry, which is headed by Najib, told Parliament that former 1MDB officers, Jasmine Loo and Casey Tang, are no longer under the central bank’s observation after 1MDB paid an undisclosed amount in fine for failing to adhere to the Financial Services Act 2013.

PKR willing to share seats with PPBM, Amanah - Wise move but please keep PAS out of the opposition group

Comments – Please keep the hated PAS out of the opposition group or we will be forced to abstain or vote BN, so that PAS will never be in the government. PAS is a broken record now and have lost their moral compass since the death of TGNA. The diehard PAS supports are disgusted will the current PAS leadership who are only in for positions and wealth , maybe a second or more wives or seriously want of pretty young boys like the Arabs they want to be.

Even UMNO does not want the lepers and why PH-Pribumi wants them, I do not know and maybe the idiots can explain

It is now PKR’s turn to help new allies, just like how PAS and DAP helped them in 1999, says Azmin

KUALA LUMPUR: PKR may consider giving up some of their seats to new allies Parti Amanah negara and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia, said PKR deputy president Azmin Ali today.

Azmin said that based on their principles, PKR will accommodate the new parties in terms of seat allocations.

He said this practice can be seen from 1999 when PAS and DAP then assisted PKR by handing over some of their seats when they were still a fresh party.

“In principle, we will accommodate our new friends. When Keadilan was formed in 1999, we had no seats. At that time PAS helped PKR, DAP helped PKR by giving up their seats.

“Morally, now it is our turn to help our friends based on the same spirit, in ensuring straight fights in GE14,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby here.

Azmin, who is also the Selangor MB, said the moment Pakatan Harapan signed a memorandum of understanding with PPBM, it was understood that the two parties will still cooperate with PAS on their own capacity.

He said this was to ensure the principle of one on one fight was achieved before the election, due in 2018 but rumoured to take place later this year.

Commenting on several demands previously made by PAS, Azmin insisted that all parties need to sit down and discuss in order for them to achieve a mutual agreement.

“I am sure all political parties have their own demands and terms that we need to sit down and discuss. As I mentioned before, it is a process that we can’t resolve within a week.

“We need to continue our discussion and hopefully we would be able to achieve this before GE14.

“But as mentioned by PPBM president Muhyiddin Yassin, the progress is very forthcoming, very positive but we need to continue our discussion,” he said.

PRU14 not on back burner because of the slide in crude Oil prices

PRU14 not on back burner because of the slide in crude Oil prices

Oil is on track to break through the key psychological level of $50 a barrel after a ninth straight rise in U.S. crude stockpiles came at exactly the wrong moment, analysts said Wednesday.

The amount of crude oil in U.S. storage rose to another record high on Wednesday, jumping 8.2 million barrels from the previous week, the Energy Information Administration reported. The increase was more than four times what analysts expected.

Weekly figures also showed U.S. oil production continuing to tick up toward 9.1 million barrels a day, the highest level in more than a year. That provided further evidence that rising American output is confounding efforts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries , Russia and 10 other exporters to reduce global oil inventories by curbing their own output.

The data sent U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (New York Mercantile Exchange: @CL.1) crude prices plunging more than 5 percent to a nearly three-month low.

The plunge through a number of lows on Wednesday puts oil on a path to test the December low of $49.95 a barrel, said John Kilduff, founding partner at energy hedge fund Again Capital.

"From there you could accelerate," he told CNBC, adding that $50 "was the fail-safe." Kilduff's downside target, once oil breaks below $50 a barrel, is $42.

For the last three months, oil has traded in a range between $49.61 and $55.24.

According to Kilduff, all the elements are in place for oil to break below its three-month range: lack of cohesion among OPEC members, bearish statements from oil ministers at CERAWeek conference by IHS Markit and subdued refinery activity as operators perform seasonal maintenance in the United States.

Bearish OPEC comments at CERAWeek

On Tuesday, Saudi Oil Minister Khalid al-Falih warned at CERAWeek that the kingdom would only support OPEC's intervention in markets for a "restricted period of time" and would not "underwrite the investments of others at our own expense and long-term interests."

Later that evening, oil ministers convened a last-minute press briefing, where they reaffirmed their commitment to the production cut deal.

"The Saudis almost explicitly warned that if we don't get cooperation or we see cheating we're not going to be someone's patsy forever," said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis at Oil Price Information Service.

Saudi Arabia has so far provided the lion's share of output cuts as OPEC and other producers seek to remove 1.8 million barrels from the market in the first six months of 2016. Iraq, OPEC's second largest producer, produced above its quota in January.

Also at CERAWeek on Tuesday, Iraqi Minister of Oil Jabbar Ali Al-Luiebi said Baghdad could increase its output capacity to 5 million barrels a day by the second half of 2017, raising concerns about its commitments to production cuts.

Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, said $50 can now be considered a target. If oil prices break that level, market watchers can expect more talk from oil ministers about extending the OPEC agreement another six months when producers meet in May, he added.

"I think that OPEC is hoping they can wait it out so they don't have to make a decision in May to continue with production cuts, but they may be forced into that decision given the high inventories here in the U.S.," he said.

Those inventory builds are likely to continue through the refinery maintenance season, according to Lipow.

Kettle finally boils over

Further fueling the fall to $50 a barrel is the record number of bets traders have recently made on crude rising further, said Matt Smith, director of commodity research at shipment tracking firm ClipperData. As oil prices fall to the bottom of their range, more traders will look to unwind those positions, he explained.

"It's really been like a kettle boiling for the last few weeks in terms of having traded in a very tight range. There's been this pressure building form a technical perspective," he said. "As that happens, as that pressure builds, we tend to pop violently."

Kloza also sees the anniversary of crude oil storage leases playing into the problem.

Many traders took out one-year leases around this time in 2016, when crude prices were near the lows of the downturn, he explained. Now that the oil price curve is flattening — meaning prices for future crude deliveries are declining relative to current costs — traders have little incentive to sign another one-year lease. Instead they're selling that oil into an oversupplied market.

While the next 30 days provide an environment ripe for a drop below $50 a barrel, Kloza said, he doesn't see an "apocalyptic move lower."

"We may break below that range for about 90 days, but in the end I think we'll be above it come driving season," he said. "From now through let's say May, it may be stormy times," he said.

PETALING JAYA – Johor executive councilor Datuk Abdul Latif Bandi has been arrested over the controversial massive housing and land scandal in the state.

Last week, the state exco member’s son and his special officer were detained by the MACC in a swoop.

Abdul Latif had kept mum on the matter and had not been seen in public since then.

About RM15mil in more than 45 accounts had been frozen as part of the probe.

Also seized were 21 luxury cars and five high-powered motorcycles.

A lawyer, two developers and another suspect were also arrested in a series of raids that day.

They were all released from remand.

MACC has so far called in 15 people to have their statements recorded.

Now Azalina says government bills should get priority

Comments – Looks like the romance between UMNO and PAS is over and there is not going to be a wedding a simple or grand wedding. PAS bended over and gave the arse before the wedding and UMNO gladly took it and shaft it real good. Not PAS bride is soiled already and no other suitors want PAS as it will tarnish their name if associated with an immoral PAS who indulge in pre-martial political sex of the worse kind, having their butts creamed by UMNO.

Best PH and Pribumi leave PAS out of the equation because

Die hard UMNO members who are defecting to Pribumi or PKR will never vote i for the hypocrites as they blame PAS for the current racial and religious intolerances and also propping up Najib

Die hard PAS members who hold TGNA in high esteem and now are flocking to Amnah will not vote for PAS which is called UMNO tambah

Non-Malays and Non-Muslims will punish the PH parties or Pribumi if they team up with PAS.

PAS as UMNO tambah only have left around 30% die hard members who do not use their brains at all and will garner only maybe 35 to 40% of rural Malay votes and UMNO will also be fighting for the same pool. The balance of rural Malay votes will be for Pribumi-PH if PAS is not in the opposition grouping

PAS is going to die a natural death as now money is king in PAS

KUALA LUMPUR: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Azalina Othman Said hopes the amendments to the Bankruptcy Act and the Child Sexual Crime Bill will be tabled in the current Dewan Rakyat sitting.

She was asked by reporters whether the amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, also known as Act 355 or RUU355, would be tabled at this sitting.

I hope the Child Sexual Crime Bill and the amendments to the Bankruptcy Act will be read in the Dewan Rakyat. They affect a lot of people.”

The amendments to the Bankruptcy Act are aimed at giving a new lease of life to people who are declared bankrupt.

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang had tabled a motion on the last day of Parliament’s sitting last May after the government allowed it to take precedence over government bills.

However, the PAS president deferred debating the bill and retabled a revised version in November last year after it was moved up again on the Order Paper list.

Hadi’s bill is listed at No 7 on the Order Paper list.

BEIJING BROKERS DEAL FOR HAPLESS NAJIB? JONG-UN ALLOWS 2 MALAYSIANS WORKING FOR U.N. TO LEAVE N.KOREA – ALL EYES ON WHO NAJIB WILL RELEASE IN EXCHANGE

Comments – What North Korean leader Kim Jong-un wanted from the start was the dead body of Kim Jong Nam half-brother of North Korean leader. Do not want to give up the body and playing hard to get, but what to do when the NK leader uses steel claws to squeeze of Dear PM Najib’s balls, uuurgggg cannot okay give body lah, what we want to do with dead body. Stupid fools the Malaysian government turns out to be


The NK’s have better leadership qualities and best send our leaders there for leadership and brinkmanship training

PETALING JAYA: The two Malaysians under the United Nation’s World Food Programme (WFP) have arrived in Beijing from North Korea.
A WFP spokesman confirmed this but declined to give further details.

It is not immediately known if the two Malaysian staff members would return to Malaysia or be posted somewhere else.

“The staff members are international civil servants and not representatives of their national government.

“They work on WFP’s programmes in North Korea,” the spokesman said Thursday.

North Korea on Tuesday barred Malaysians from leaving the country, which led to Malaysia doing the same to North Korean citizens here.

A diplomatic row is brewing between Malaysia and North Korea after the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 on Feb 13.

North Korea has condemned Malaysia’s handling of the case, and accused Malaysia of colluding with South Korea in the investigation.

Malaysia later recalled its ambassador to the hermit kingdom, and expelled North Korean ambassador Kang Chol.

BEIJING BROKERS DEAL FOR NAJIB?
MEANWHILE, according to Malaysiakini:
Two United Nations employees, who were among 11 Malaysian nationals stranded in North Korea following a travel ban, have left the country.
Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak confirmed that the two, who work for the World Food Programme, had arrived in Beijing.
“Alhamduillah (Thank God). Two of our citizens under WFP, Stella Lim and Nyanaprakash Muniandy, were allowed to leave Pyongyang and have arrived in Beijing,” he said in a Twitter posting.
The other Malaysians still in North Korea comprise three diplomatic staff and and six family members.
Najib also revealed that he spoke on the telephone with the counsellor of the Malaysian embassy in Pyongyang Mohd Nor Azrin.
“I would like to update that he, his family along with all of the other Malaysians in North Korea are safe, Alhamdulillah.
“I have given him my assurance that the government will do everything we can to ensure that they return home safely soon. The whole of Malaysia is praying for them,” he said.
“Even though they are refrained from leaving the country, the North Korean government have assured us of their safety and they are free to go about their daily lives.
“The government will continue to work on reaching the best solution on this issue. Let us all pray for the best,” he added.
The prime minister said he has also requested mosques nationwide to conduct prayers for the Malaysians in North Korea.
Pyongyang on Tuesday banned Malaysians from leaving North Korea until the issue of Kim Jong-nam’s murder is properly resolved.
This came after Wisma Putra ordered North Korean ambassador Kang Chol to leave the country for accusing Malaysia of conspiracy to blame his country for the murder.
Najib had condemned North Korea’s move as tantamount to holding Malaysians “hostage” and imposed similar measures against North Koreans in Malaysia.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries became strained following the murder of Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA 2) on Feb 13.
Police have charged two women, an Indonesian and a Vietnamese national, over the murder.
The two were accused of smearing the deceased with VX nerve agent as he waited to board a flight to Macau.
Police believe four North Korean men were the main suspects but have since fled the country.
Police released another North Korean chemist Ri Jong-chol after failing to secure sufficient evidence to charge him.
Pyongyang is demanding the return of Jong-nam’s body but Malaysia indicated that it would release the body to Jong-nam’s next-of-kin.

Famous, liberal Saudi Arabian columnist Khalaf Al-Harbi calls India the most tolerant nation in the world ( of yesterday not now )

Comments. Could not have said it better. India yes is the most plural society in the world and most tolerant back before Modi became PM of India. Now India sounds more like Malaysia where the PM of the dominant race and religion used that to his advantage to prosecute the minorities. He did it in Gujarat and was hail as a hero and now doing it Nationwide. I guess he was secretly taking lessons from Najib son of Razak PM of Malaysia

In his latest column in 'Saudi Gazette', he heaps praises over India describing it as the most tolerant nation on the earth. and please see below face of faces of evil

Please read below

Those who claim that India is becoming an intolerant nation must read this. Khalaf Al-Harbi is a liberal columnist and a thinker from Saudi Arabia. His liberal views and objective columns on various issues are a big hit and widely discussed across the world.

In his latest column in 'Saudi Gazette', he heaps praises over India describing it as the most tolerant nation on the earth. In his column titled 'India - A country that rides elephants', Khalaf Al Harbi writes: "In India, there are more than 100 religions and more than 100 languages. Yet, the people live in peace and harmony. They have all joined hands to build a strong nation that can produce everything from a sewing needle to the rocket which is preparing to go to Mars. I must say that I feel a bit jealous because I come from a part of the world which has one religion and one language and yet there is killing everywhere. No matter how the world speaks about tolerance, India remains the oldest and most important school to teach tolerance and peaceful co-existence regardless of the religious, social, political or ethnical differences."

He goes on to state that the stereotypical picture of India in the minds of many is linked to poverty and backwardness which is a totally false picture which has nothing to do with reality.

Al-Harbi adds that it is a picture which was created by our extreme judgment of things. When we were poor before the era of oil, the picture of India in our minds was linked to richness and civilization but immediately after our financial conditions improved, we converted India's picture to one of poverty and backwardness.

If we had any sort of wisdom, we would never have been occupied by India's richness or poverty. Rather, we would have been impressed by India's immense ability to contain and respect the conflicting ideologies and thoughts so that people would flood the streets without any feeling of fear or anxiety.

If we took all the Arabs and placed them in India as part of a grand experiment, they would not make up any recognizable majority. They would, instead, dissolve in a fearless human ocean. Their nationalistic trends and sectarian extremism would also dissolve with them and they would realize that nothing in the world can justify the killing of their brothers and sisters.

He also tries to tell the Arab world that diversity and co-existence of thoughts and beliefs are in the DNA of Indian culture. He writes, "India is one of the largest and oldest democracies in the world. It had never known huge differences in religions or races. The country does not disdain its poor people nor hate its rich citizens. It is a nation which is proud of Gandhi and the British colonialists at the same time."

"The Indian people are distinguished in many ways. They are great people. Nobody can deny this fact except the envious or the ungrateful."

"The only problem with the hypothetical trip of the Arabs to India is that they may contaminate the Indians and remind them of their religious and ethnical differences. The Arabs may be able to convince the Indians that their religious and racial disparities may be enough of reason to kill each other."
