Credit to whom credit is due

 



AS usual, credit to whom credit is due. I am just doing what I need to do as a citizen who tries to intervene to help solve some problems. 

       I think the credit should go to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, his cabinet minister, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail and his political secretary, Tuan Johari Kassim. Also, to YB Lim Lip Eng when he was the Segambut MP and current MP, Hannah Yeoh for handling a few more cases in the past. With a new minister, there is a future for the stateless people.

        Through Anwar's concept of the Madani (civilised) government, many stateless people's cases have been solved: something that no other politicians in the past cared about, since they did not mean an additional vote for themselves.

        This year, for the first time in Malaysia's history, a Home Minister has prioritised the problem in the country involving thousands of stateless people. In 2023 alone, the Department of Registration (JPN) has processed over 8000 cases as of September, and I believe they are close to 10,000 cases based on their Key Performance Index. 

       In the past few years, I have been handling a few cases involving stateless people. I have written to Muhyiddin Yassin when he was Minister of Home Affairs, thinking that he was part of the new hope Malaysians have when Pakatan Harapan took over Putrajaya in 2018. However, there was silence from Muhyiddin. I did not write to other Home Ministers before and after that until the unity government was established. 

        One of the cases, which is supposed to be less complicated, has been solved finally. Receiving this message from the mother really makes my day, knowing that I am a part of the bigger picture that we see developing in Malaysia when the right people are in control. 

        Barely three months ago when I told her to send me her application letter, she told me that she has given up all hopes on her child's case. The child is adopted by a legally married couple, but because the child had no papers, she remained stateless until today when the parents were told to go to JPN with no reasons stated. 

        Imagine the excitement when she told me this today after I asked her for an update. Imagine the broad smiles that JPN is now able to bring to the "many people" all waiting at their office, probably for the same good news. 

        When can the press give some highlight to this wonderful development? I asked one or two press, but they seem to be disinterested. 

This is one reason why I defended Saifuddin when he was under attack.

It is not easy being in the Madani government when all sides -- especially with a well-oiled war machinery -- are attacking you.

Welcome to Jalan Palestin....

  The hue and cry over the Palestinian issue now is nothing but a hype created by propagandists who try to discredit Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.          This renaming of Jalan Raja Laut 1 to Jalan Palestine, was in fact during former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin's era. He was PM from  1 March 2020 – 16 August 2021.  The above article written by Ida Lim was dated Sunday 27 Sept 2020.           In October 2023, former prime minister Dr. Mahathir had given his 100% support towards Hamas. Why was there no big brouhaha over this in the past, and why only now?                    It is also obvious that this Hamas issue has brought together three political enemies in 2023 - Dr Mahathir, Muhyiddin Yasin and Mat Sabu -- but why was there no hype over it? Why everyone is so worked up now but not back then? It's because some cybertroopers are working round the cloc...

Singaporean commentator: "Anwar is making all the right decisions"

Image
  Malaysians may not heard of Mr Loo Cheng Chuan but he is no stranger to Singaporeans. He is the founder of the 1M65 Movement — the movement to hit $1 million by age 65 — through which he teaches investment strategies to those faithful to this million-dollar goal. By optimising the use of his and his spouse’s CPF funds, he has since updated their goal to be 4M65 — with an eye on 5M65. He achieved multi-millionaire status at the age of 50

Exercise some critical thinking before accusing Hannah Yeoh or the Selangor State Government of nepotism

Image
29 May 2024  A lot of people have been asking me about this case, here is my answer: DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? A poster like this which is already in circulation is a tell-tale sign that this is part of a plot to cause the collapse of the Madani Government.  THE WORD ‘NEPOTISM’ has been stretched too far that I find it incredulous to hear people saying anyone married to a minister should not be given a government contract.           By definition , ‘nepotism’ means “the unfair practice of granting jobs and favours to relatives, often in business and politics.”           That was the reason I did not think that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should bow to pressure from unreasonable people when her daughter, Nurul Izzah was willing to take up a non-paying job to assist her father in the Ministry of Finance (MOF).           Nurul would have done a good job to ensure that all the...
