Nazri explains his silence during meeting with Mahathir

I guess the only reason that Nazri kept silent because he did not get the “Foot in the Mouth” attach and must have taken his medication ( Photo of Najib to remind him to engage his brain first before opening the mouth to talk first ) .

Nazri explains his silence during meeting with Mahathir

The tourism and culture minister says he was following etiquette and waiting for the elderly former prime minister to talk first during their encounter in Kuala Kangsar yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Aziz today said the awkward silence during his encounter yesterday with Dr Mahathir Mohamad was due to his respect for the former premier.

Nazri explained the standard etiquette during Mahathir’s tenure as prime minister was that “you don’t speak to him unless he speaks to you first”.

“Those were the days when he was the prime minister. I was quite used to that and so I waited for him to speak to me.

“But he didn’t say anything until the end. It’s because of that, Mahathir said I was silent,” he told FMT when contacted.

Nazri then added that Mahathir wasn’t friendly at all during their encounter.

“He wasn’t warm at all. He was concentrating on his food. But I wanted to respect him because he looked so frail. So, I just kept quiet.”

The duo was spotted at a small stall in Kuala Kangsar yesterday, where they had met over a bowl of cendol and laksa.

At the same time, Nazri also said upon his arrival, one of Mahathir’s aides attempted to prevent the duo from meeting.

“Even though one of his aides tried to take Mahathir away from me, I just went there and shook his hand.

“We then went to a gazebo by the river and I sat beside him after his aide cleared a seat for me.”

The Padang Rengas MP also thought that the debate, which was scheduled to be held on April 7 in Shah Alam, would be the best avenue to channel their respective views.

“I thought that if there’s anything that needs to be said, it should be said on the 7th, not there.”

Nazri had accepted Mahathir’s challenge to a public debate over the 1MDB and Bumiputra Malaysia Finance controversies, as well as the RM2.6 billion donation from the Saudi royal family.

The debate was originally supposed to be held at the Mara Junior College hall in Kuala Kangsar yesterday, but this was scrapped after police rejected the venue.

The debate will now be held on April 7 at the Karangkraf Complex in Section 15, Shah Alam.

Cockfighting suspected for Kelantan H5N1 infection

Cockfighting suspected for Kelantan H5N1 infection

KOTA BHARU, 15 March 2017:

The Veterinary Services Department believes the bird flu (H5N1) epidemic detected in the state could have started from cockfighting activities involving roosters from neighbouring countries.

The department’s director-general Datuk Dr Kamaruddin Md Isa urged the public to stop holding such contests, including at border areas, to prevent the H5N1 virus from spreading elsewhere.

“We see a similarity between these cases and those in 2004 which also occurred in Kelantan where roosters infected with H5N1 were involved in cockfighting at the border areas.”

Kamaruddin said further investigations were being conducted to identify the real source of the epidemic, including looking at similarities with fowl diseases in Asean countries.

“So far, no new location has been found to have been infected and the epidemic has not spread to other states.”

To date, he said 15,957 fowls – like the free-range chicken, ducks, serama chicken, geese, quails and the ketitir bird – have been culled in Kota Bharu and Pasir Mas, which are within a 10km radius since the epidemic was identified in Kampung Pulau Tebu, Tunjong here, to prevent the H5N1 virus from spreading.

The H5N1 virus, which affects fowls, was detected on March 6 after a few free-ranging chickens owned by residents died.

In KUANTAN, no H5N1 virus has been detected – but chairman of the State Health, Human Resources and Special Functions Committee Datuk Norol Azali Sulaiman said the government would take necessary steps to be alert and monitor the spread of the virus.

“We have not received any reports on the H5N1 disease infecting animals or people.”

Malaysian Authorities finally giving focus to rain shelters for motorcyclists - Keep on dreaming

I suspect the General elections in Malaysia is due very soon and the Ruling BN party needs every vote in can get. Make another promise and this time to the hundreds of thousands poor suffering motorcyclists. A promise from BNGovernment needs to be repeated for 5 General elelctions before if the promise materializes. Fat hopes dear motorcyclists , another empty promise and why now not earlier. All because it cost money and motorcyclists are from the low income group that the Government can buy with RM 2 of free fuel .LOL

Malaysian Authorities finally giving focus to rain shelters for motorcyclists

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 March 2017:

All road concessioners have been instructed to provide motorcycle shelters at certain locations for the comfort of motorcyclists.

As such, the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) is suggesting that the construction of a safe motorcycle shelter be one of the requirements for the concessionaries.

The Works Ministry said the design of a motorcycle shelter would be based on ensuring the safety of motorcyclists.

The Public Works Department (JKR) agreed the matter should be given serious thought – especially at the design stage, where social impact has to be a norm in design parameters and assessments.

JKR also believe special bike lanes should be constructed, in addition to building shelters, in view of an increasing statistic of accidents involving motorcyclists.

The department expressed concern to build these shelters as many motorcyclists were seen taking shelter under bridges or underpass, thus inviting danger as these are not convenient places to take shelter.

The department prepared two guidelines on motorcycles, namely the design of motorcycle facilities and a geometric design for motorcycle lanes.

The statement said all future road design and construction has to incorporate these safety elements for motorcyclists as well as other road users.

Why are Malaysian State rulers not consulted on Islamic laws amendments?

Why ask me I do not know why they are sidelined , Please go and ask Najib

Why are Malaysian State rulers not consulted on Islamic laws amendments?

KUALA LUMPUR, 26 March 2017:

Former chief justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim yesterday said any proposal or amendment to laws which involve Islam, had to be presented to the Conference of Rulers before it could be tabled in Parliament.

This include the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 Amendment Bill (RUU 355), he said.

As the head of Islam, he noted the Malay rulers had an important role in deciding matters pertaining to Islam.

“I observe the debate, questions on why RUU 355 is not presented to the rulers before it is tabled in parliament has a logic to it.

“This is clearly stated the Federal Constitution which requires matters pertaining to Islam to be referred to the Conference of Rulers,” he said during a question and answer session on a lecture “Islam as the Law of the Land” here.

Ahmad Fairuz, who as the chief justice between 2003 and 2007, said the role of the Conference of Rulers as the head of Islam should not be ignored.

“The syariah court exists because of Islam. Therefore, anything that concerns Islam has to be referred to the Conference of Rulers for approval before the tabling in Parliament.”

Questioned why the non-Muslims are against RUU 355, despite it not affecting them, Ahmad Fairuz said he could not find a strong excuse for the non-Muslims to oppose the proposed law.

“The RUU 355 does not involve the non-Muslims at all. Why should they worry?”

On the need to amend the law, he opined it was due to the rise in crimes under the law.

“The heavier penalty is hoped will reduce the offences committed by Muslims as the existing punishment is not enough to make them remorseful or instil fear,”

The first reading of the bill was done by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang Hadi during the last session of the Dewan Rakyat last year.

The bill seeks, among others, to amend Section 2 of the law to empower Islamic courts to enforce punishment, except for the death penalty, provided in syariah laws for Islamic offences listed under state jurisdiction in the Federal Constitution

Liow calls on Chinese to support MCA - Is Liow day dreaming again

Comments from around the blogs - WE all know that MCA is another set of beggars who are deeply incline to the BN and will go to extend to sell the Chinese. Be careful of them. Teach them a lesson and wipe them out once and fore all in the coming GE14. MGS

Liow calls on Chinese to support MCA

He says after the party’s defeat during the last general election (GE), issues plaguing the Chinese community could not be brought to the top level

JELEBU: The MCA has once again called on the Chinese community to support the party so that issues affecting them can be resolved immediately at the top level.

Its president, Liow Tiong Lai said after the party’s defeat during the last general election (GE), issues plaguing the Chinese community could not be brought to the top level.

“I, therefore urge the Chinese community to support MCA representatives in the coming GE so that we will be able to represent them at the government level and help solve their problems,” he told reporters at the ‘Jom, Gerak Teguh Bersama’ Carnival at Titi near here today.

Also present were MCA Youth chief Chong Sin Woon, vice-president Chew Mei Fun and Negri Sembilan chairman King Lim Chin Fui.

Liow, who is also transport minister, said the Chinese community had realised the elected representatives which they had voted for in the last general election had not served them well.

Meanwhile, he said this was the first Jom Gerak Teguh Bersama Carnival in the state.

“We are organising a nationwide tour of this carnival to create awareness among the local population that MCA programmes have benefitted members and the community,” he added.
