Who's Lying, Najib?

KUALA LUMPUR: The Prime Minister has expressed regret

over allegations of 1Malaysia being a copy of a concept
adopted by another country.
- The Star
=================================

Mr Najib claimed the 1-Malaysia idea is an "Original" creative idea of his- despite evidence to the contrary in 1-Israel, One Singapore or even 1-Indonesia ....... (wherein even the "motto" sounded the same!!)
Either somebody must be playing a joke on us (especially Najib- ha ha) with the 1-Indonesia thing or somebody is lying ....
(Maybe Yogyakarta councillors or city hall can verify this).

"There is nowhere in the world that has

1Malaysia, People's First, Performance Now."

Penan go to court to defend Heart of Borneo rainforests

Penan go to court to defend Heart of Borneo rainforests

Ba Jawi (Sarawak), MALAYSIA. The Penan community of Ba Jawi in Sarawak's Upper Baram region has today lodged a collective action lawsuit against Malaysian timber giant Samling and the state government of Sarawak over 15,000 hectares of primary rainforest in order to protect their livelihood from being destroyed by logging.

The case was filed this morning by lead plaintiff Lija Agan, headman of the tiny village of Ba Jawi, and three other plaintiffs who are claiming that the Ba Jawi forests have been used since time immemorial by their ancestors and urgently need to be protected against logging. "About 200 years ago, the ancestors of the plaintiffs were living in and around Ba Jawi, exercising native customary rights over the land in Ba Jawi and its vicinity", the Penan's statement of claim reads. "They hunted and gathered food from the forests and lived on sago (uvut) as their staple food. The plaintiffs are presently exercising these rights over that same land."

The Penan are claiming that a logging licence held by Samling Plywood, a subsidiary of the Malaysian Samling group of companies, should be rescinded, since it was issued by the Sarawak government in an "unlawful, improper, unconstitutional and therefore null and void" manner.

The new case is the fifth native customary rights case lodged by Eastern Penan communities from Upper Baram since 1998. It has been prepared with assistance from the Bruno Manser Fund and will be represented by the renowned law office of Messrs. Baru Bian in Kuching.

The area covered by the Ba Jawi claim is a key region of the Penan Peace Park, a self-administered conservation region in the Heart of Borneo, which was proclaimed a nature reserve by 17 Penan communities in November 2009 and covers twice the size of Singapore.

In February 2007, the governments of Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei signed the tripartite "Heart of Borneo Declaration" in which they committed themselves to protecting the rainforests of central Borneo. However, the declaration has not been followed by much action on the ground. In December 2009, Sarawak's director of forests, Len Talif Salleh, even condemned the Penan Peace Park as an "illegal" project that "tainted Sarawak's image".

steadyaku47: Unfit to be Prime Minister....of any country!

Why is Najib unfit to be our Prime Minister? Let me count the ways…..


Hands down the tragic murder of Altantuya tops the list. Don’t ask me about it because I am bias. Go ask that Indian kachang putih seller, the Pak Chik selling satay by the roadside or that Chinese guy selling Yong Tau Foo at the market in Lucky Gardens each morning. Ask them about Najib and Altantuya. This is what they say:


NAJIB IS GUILTY UNTIL AN INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY CLEARS HIM.

MACC- WHY The 'Elegant Silence"?!

BALA'S CASE UPDATE

Dear Abdul Rahman Bachok,

I am referring to the visit Manjeet Singh Dhillon, Amarjit Singh Sidhu and myself made to your offices in late July this year when we handed to you the questions and answers affirmed by my Client Mr. Balasubramaniam a/l Perumal, in London, as per your request.

I also refer to my email to you dated 19 September 2010 requesting an update on your investigations into this matter but unfortunately I have yet to receive your response.

I have therefore been requested by my client, Bala, to write to you again for an update.

Please note that it has been 5 months since we handed to you the above document at which time we were advised that all other parties had already been interviewed by your team and that Bala's answers to your questions was the final part of your investigations.

We would very much appreciate your immediate advice.

Please also be informed that my client Bala is more than willing to attend court as a witness against any of the persons you may have suggested be charged in relation to this matter but he insists that a guarantee for his safety be provided by the relevant authorities for obvious reasons.

Please could you revert to me at the soonest.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Americk Sidhu

Sarawak’s billion dolar bride! « The People’s Parliament

Sarawak’s billion dolar bride!

December 21, 2010

Received the following alert :

Sarawak Report has been subjected to a cyber-attack, which has knocked it temporarily off-line. This follows a number of death threats sent through our mail, which have been notable for their creepy, ‘black-magic’ format.

Disabling websites by using millions of hits is a very expensive process, even more expensive than hiring top lawyers. So this limits our list of suspects in this case to people who are both very rich and have a direct interest in shutting us up, but who would rather not face the scrutiny of an open court.

______________________________________________________

In solidarity with Sarawak Report, which has done so much for the people of Sarawak in the short time that it has made its mark in blogosphere, I am posting the Sarawak Report that would have been posted up but for this cyber-attack.

Billion Dollar Bride

Meanwhile, we have exclusive pictures of Sarawak Chief Minister, Taib Mahmud’s, new young bride. Kuching has been aflame with interest and amusement at the leaked information that the 74 year old has found himself a second wife who is still in her 20s.

However, the government has refused to issue official confirmation of the wedding ceremony that was celebrated at the weekend in the Chief Minister’s vast mansion (the financing of which remains a mystery, like the rest of his properties). Even senior Government Ministers are scouring the web for details of the new “Thief Lady”, who has yet even to be announced by name.

In desperation calls have been made to Sarawak Report and so we feel honoured to oblige.

Sarawak’s wealth around her neck

Sarawakians will not fail to notice that several thousand hectares of irreplaceable jungle must have been felled and turned to oil palm to adorn this lady’s neck.

One top London jeweller today gave the opinion that the rubies in her diamond tiara, necklace, ring and broach are “likely to be fake glass”. His reason was that if they were genuine cabochon rubies, like they appear to be, then they would be “priceless at such a size as that”. When pressed the jeweller hazarded that they would be worth at least RM150 million.

Since the Chief Minister has yet to release details about his bride we will leave Sarawakians to decide amongst themselves whether the Chief Minister has adorned his new wife in glass or cabochon ruby.

Christmas is a time for sharing

As they depart for their Christmas honeymoon, doubtless utilising one of the Hornbill jets funded by Sarawak’s hard-pressed taxpayers, we hope the happy couple spare a thought for the many hungry children in the longhouses who are hoping for a nice present this year.

However, times are hard because more and more land has been snatched away from these communities by the Chief Minister’s BN government, so their parents will have already told them not to expect too much.

As ever, these parents will have to remind their children that the Chief Minister’s favourite advice to the rural folks is that they “must learn to wait”. Apparently, Taib is promising that at some stage he will begin to share his wealth with the people he took it from!
