Anwar's directive is to ensure Govt not perceived as influencing voters' choice in Sg Bakap by-election

 


IT is unwise for Minister of Housing & Local Government, Nga Kor Ming to announce an allocation of RM300,000 for Sg Bakap especially at a time when the upcoming by-election is just weeks away.

        Earlier, Nga had done the same thing during the lead-up to the Kuala Kubu Baru by-election, by announcing an allocation of RM4.82 million for 14 projects under the supervision of the Hulu Selangor Municipal Council (MPHS) and the Chinese New Village Project in Hulu Selangor.

        This has, of course, attracted criticisms from the Bersih movement. 

        If taxpayers' money is used to fish for votes, it makes the DAP no difference to the parties in the previous governments. By engaging with cheap votes, the party may win a certain constituency, but lose the respect of the country's voters as a result, especially with many people asking, "Where is the reform promised by Pakatan Harapan?" 

        As such, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was forced to issue a directive advising his cabinet members against making announcements of government allocations especially during the lead up to a by-election. 

        This directive issued by Anwar is not a damage control exercise, but to ensure that a fair and clean election process, and avoid any perception of using government resources to gain political advantage during by-elections or other electoral contests​. It is hoped that Nga toes the line. 

        The present Madani government has to be extra cautious when announcing such allocations of additional funding before a by-election.

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

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...
