Do you want to continue to live in shits?

It seems i gonna buy another air ticket to fly back to vote. My return flight to Zurich is scheduled on 2 April, but there is still no announcement of election. i gonna spend another RM3,000 to RM4,000 for another air ticket, which i will certainly endeavour my best to fly back again in order to cast my vote in person in Malaysia even though air tickets are costly. BN easily buys votes with RM20, RM50, RM250, RM300, RM500....whilst i gonna spend RM3,000 x 2 to cast my single vote. :(

my eldest sister lah, all the while i wanted to wait till election is called. She told me CNY is important for the whole family and father is old oledi. Thus i discussed with my husband and fly back to stay in Malaysia for two months, hopefully can do my duty as a family member as well as a citizen these two months.

I can declare that i have been back to Malaysia for two months. I can say i have tried to carry out my responsibility and thus it is no longer my problem not be able to vote during my present two-month stay in Malaysia.

Come on, i live now in Switzerland, a country where is perceived by many people a heaven country on the earth.

Why am i wiling to spend my time, energy, efforts and money to fly back to Malaysia to cast my vote in person in Malaysia!?

Imagine, a single journey of me flying back would take at least 16 hours sitting in the plane without counting the time of transit, time waiting at the airports, time on the roads heading to airports. A journey of a return flight of mine will take easily two days to three days!

I find it sarcastic, while i am endeavoring my best in order to cast my vote, they are still many refuse to come out to vote even the polling station may be just a door-step away.

During my present stay in Malaysia, they are many who express their appreciation of me flying back to vote. Nevertheless, they are also many who are stubborn-headed. They are aware that safety in Malaysia have deteriorated, they live in an unsafe environment, they have young children, but they do not bother to register themselves as a voter, because for them, politics is dirty, anyone who is elected will become corrupt.

This is narrow-minded.

I have been writing in my blog: What we are voting now is a bi-partisan system that encourages counter-check-and-balance culture to ensure transparency and accountability.

No party is perfect. No-one is perfect. However, with the establishment of a counter-check-and balance system, those who are elected will monitor and be monitored among and by each other. They will endeavour to watch their own behaviour so that they can be elected again by the People whom they suppose to serve.

Should you choose not to vote because politics is dirty, you have given out your rights not to safeguards you own rights.

Politics is not dirty. Politics is neutral, it is you who refuse to vote, making the dirty pool continued to be dirty and you allow them continue to suck your hard-earned money with launching more taxes besides the present highway tolls, income tax, road tax, consumer tax and other hidden taxes. Mind you, your EPF may go empty as well, Argentina is a good example.

What sort of life you want to live depends on you, whether you want to continue to live in shits or having a chance to clear those shits!

My fellow Malaysians, please come out / fly back to vote.
INI Kalilah! NOW or Never!

I dont need anyone to salute me. I spread this message here because i hope you can call for more to come out/fly back to vote!!!

INI Kalilah! Vote for CHANGE! NOW or Never!

BERSIH 2.0 submits eight cases on electoral roll irregularities to EC


BERSIH 2.0 is submitting eight cases on electoral roll irregularities to the attention of the Election Commission. These cases, all of which were brought to our attention by members of the public, were received over the course of the past two months.
Of the eight cases:
  • Five involved individuals who were registered as voters without their consent or knowledge, with three of the five registered in constituencies they did not reside in;
  • In one case the individual concerned was told by the EC that the EC did not receive her voter registration form despite having registered through an overseas Malaysian consulate in 2012, and thus would not be able to vote in the upcoming 13th general election;
  • In one case the individual could not find her registration record online and thus may not be able to vote in GE-13;
  • In one case facts have arisen that has made the individual suspect that a phantom voter may be using his address.
Nine cases over two months is not an exceedingly small number and may represent only the tip of the iceberg, when seen in the context of earlier concerns over the integrity of the electoral roll. We note that in several of the cases, the complainants had already approached the Election Commission.

Despite reassurances about the integrity of the electoral system, Malaysia still has a long way to go. BERSIH 2.0 remains greatly concerned about the impact of electoral roll irregularities on the upcoming election.

前大马军人爆料,他们之前曾受命在千张选票画【X】!


A Message for All of Humanity ~ Charlie Chaplin

A MESSAGE FOR ALL OF HUMANITY ~ Charlie Chaplin 

 

 

Transcript (Charlie Chaplin):

I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair." The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder! Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men---machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it's written "the kingdom of God is within man", not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.

Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfill that promise! Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

Charles Santiago`s court action against the EC

SUPPORT CHARLES SANTIAGO'S COURT ACTION AGAINST THE EC

The law suit between Charles Santiago and Electoral Commission (SPR).

On 27th February 2013, YB Charles Santiago filed a law suit against the Malaysian Electoral Commision (EC). The reason for the law suit is due to several irregularities found on the P110 Klang voter roll. Some of the irregularities include :

- About 2,000 voters being deleted from P110 Klang in a four year period.
- More than 3,457 voters being transferred out of P110 Klang
- A number of people were registered as voters even though they themselves has never registered.
- A number of voters were moved due to “boundary correction”.
- Some houses in Klang have unusually large number of voters registered on them. In many cases the present occupants do not know them.

The lawsuit involves filing a judicial review to compel the EC to clean up the electoral roll, i.e. for the court to instruct the EC to clean up the electoral roll. This Thursday, the High Court will decide if there will be a hearing for the judicial review application.

Malaysia listed #2 in Black Money Outflow




Malaysia has overtaken Mexico and listed as the Second in World´s Black Money Outflow!













一张选票,值多少?

From 廉明新政: 【一张选票,值多少?】

"很多人会问,全马有1300万选民,我的一票究竟值多少钱?老远买机票、车票回来划个叉会不会太笨?

那如果你是打算投国阵的话,其实计算方式很简单,看看国阵铺天盖地的广告板就懂了。

如果你是国阵的核心人物,国阵执政,你就可以继续拿工程捞油水。可是不得不提醒你,这块猪肉已经越来越小,国油今年的净利润就已下滑了46%,一不留神被拉下马,一点也不要觉得奇怪。如果,你是中产阶级,一巴仙的税务回扣应该是你最大的喜讯。其他的优惠你想都别想,好好的做好这份工,因为你的房屋和进口车贷款还得供很久。如果你是3000令吉以下的家庭或职场新鲜人,那么国阵推出的“一个大马援助(买票)金”,你大概会被分到250令吉,其他的回扣也不干你的事。

以上的的计算当然不包括持续起价的过路费、进口车和国产车税、房价和即将要推出的消费税。还有迟早会转嫁到你身上的国债,是福是祸,见仁见智。

那如果你是中间选民,或是准备把票投给民联的话,以下是本人做的小分析。

第一,你的一票可以让国债喘一口气

国阵执政50多年,累计的国债已经接近5000亿令吉。就算是读经济的纳吉做财政部长,在任期内也让债务翻倍,还大言不惭告诉大家派援助金是因为国家有钱赚。任内的贪污丑闻就省略不加叙述,免得大家看得金睛火眼。

看看民联做州政府,面临中央政府打压时,槟州不但蓬勃发展还能够年年赚钱,雪州更是大口气从朋党手上买回垃圾处理和水务项目。这五年来被打压所研发出的“省功”,如果用在中央的财务管理,还会输给国阵“买贵了”的施政态度

民联上台,不担保绝不贪污,但相较国阵50年累计的贪污经验和喂养的朋党的数量,确实输了九条街。而国阵为了咸鱼翻身,必然比现在更努力100倍去挖掘民联的贪污丑闻。还有公务员、反贪委会、媒体里国阵忠坚分子的严厉监督,民联有什么风吹草动,肯定逃不了他们的法眼。你的一票给民联做"省功"政府,让“强大”的国阵来监督,何乐不为?

第二,你的一票就是投公害的反对票

国阵短短几年,把关丹莱纳斯、武吉公满山埃采金、边佳兰石化厂等垃圾工业带进来,把马来西亚变成垃圾代理国。就算反抗行动不断的升级,国阵还是马照跑,舞照跳,丝毫没有妥协的迹象,环保分子在国阵面前已经求助无门。

如果你把票投给国阵,黄德和支持者白走了300公里,人民多年来的公害抗争就毁于一旦。不仅如此,关丹人民、武吉公满人民要天天提心吊胆,边佳兰人死了都无葬身之地!

出席了几次反公害活动,都看见民联领袖身体力行,不管真心或假意,比起国阵领袖嚣张的态度确实是天壤之别。人家做YB在同一家酒店同一个房间风花雪月时,同样贵为国会议员的余德华竟然陪818反灭村的支持者在坟墓吹冷风过夜!黄德号召苦行300公里,民联的领袖倾巢而出时,廖中莱还在文冬吃榴莲呢!

当“态度决定一切”时,我们唯有投民联,把反公害的烂摊子交给更有改革意愿的民联,让反公害联盟可以暂时歇一口气。

第三、你的一票能够改变大马政治的游戏规则

马来西亚的政治水平已经被国阵搞得乌烟瘴气,不比政策、不做廉政、不谈公平,大选前只罗列一堆“交易”就可以吃胡。为了和国阵抗衡,民联也相应推出许多糖果政策,和国阵争先讨好中间选民。马来西亚一天没有政党轮替,就会陷入这样永无止境的恶斗。

唯有政党轮替,才能够教会人民做老板,让能够人民真实感受到其实换政府没什么大不了。以后,你再也不会被“员工”恐吓、威逼和收买,反倒是“员工”必须不断的向你展现受聘的理由。选举,就变成了五年一次的工作面试和升遷大会,做的好可以继续,做不好就要滚蛋!竞选讲座上,也不需要听到“华人在朝好办事”、“I HELP YOU,YOU HELP ME”这等恶心兼没有深度的话!

唯有政党轮替,国阵面临挫败才能够学会谦卑,学会听取民意。民联也无法一直打悲情牌,必须拿出施政的真本事和政治改革的决心,来取信于民。大马的政局才会出现角色对调,人民才能夺回主导权。

其实,一切的祸根源都自于国阵一党独大太久了。而事实证明,世界上没有一个国家是不需要经过政党轮替,就能尝到民主化的果实。为了维持苟延残喘的政权,国阵会无所不用其极、用尽一切流氓和做票的卑鄙手段来打倒民联。所以,不管黑区或白区,你的一票都背负着改变历史的责任,躲不了。

最后,在你的选票为你带来了多少回酬之前,先问你自己愿意付出多少,毕竟民主不是天掉下的成品。来临13届的大选,给了我们难得不用流血就能换政府的机会。如果要等到下一次,我们很可能就会变成拿枪改革的战友了。

INI Kalilah! NOW or Never!

It is not announced yesterday (Monday) ~ The chicken botak really doesnt have any ball even though the late he announces the more votes he is going to lose.

Now i look forward to hearing the announcement this Friday...

I heard from a school´s teacher last Friday that EC has made a venue reservation with the school for voting purpose scheduled end of this month...

I didnt fly back to Malaysia last year as all these two years i have been waiting for GE announcement to fly back to vote. When i flew to the U.S. last October, and i was thinking should election be announced during my two-week visit in the U.S., i would get a ticket to fly back fm the U.S. to Malaysia.

Right now I have flown back to Malaysia for two months from 6th February to carry out my duty as a member to my family too. My return flight to Zurich is scheduled on 2nd April.

I have a 4-day meditation retreat to attend in Bern, Switzerland from 4th April to 7th April. My mother-in-law´s birthday celebrate in Germany on 7th April. I have meetings scheduled in Switzerland on 8th April to 10th April.

I have been waiting and waiting for the GE announcement in order to re-organize my schedules accordingly. I really endeavour my best to cast my vote in person without giving myself any excuse.

Some Malaysians at home may not bother to step out from their house to the near-by polling stations. Whilst, for me, it takes me 3 days in the journey as the time sitting in the plane alone would take 16 hours for a single journey without counting the time of transit as well as time spending on the road heading to airports.

Why am i so stubborn? Why i have been spending my time, energy and money to make sure i cast my vote in person in Malaysia?

Because i am eager to see the establishment of a bi-partisan system in Malaysia that Malaysia has yet to establish to encourages counter-check-and-balance culture to ensure accountability and transparency. Should a bi-partisan system is estalished, the handky-penky activisits of those irresponsibile representatives in any party would likely to be exposed and thus those representatives will tend to watch out their own behaviour, learn to be responsible and accountabale to their real Boss - the voters, the People. 

INI Kalilah! NOW or Never! 

Should CHANGE not happen this time, i strongly believe there will not be any chance as right now BN has done so many destruction to the systems to ensure they continue to stay in power, moreover should BN be able to sustain their power again...

You may say BN wont be able to win again as most Malaysians have decided to kick BN out of the political arena in Malaysia. Yes, it is true that most Malaysians have woke up and they have joined the force of People Power to push for a change towards a better Malaysia. Nevertheless, all of us have been endeavouring to ensure the number of BERSIH votes is able to outnumber the number of phantom voters. 

Should you still care about Malaysia and your fellow Malaysians, please come out / fly back to vote! 

INI Kalilah! NOW or Never!

For me, should election is not held during my present two-month stay in Malaysia, i still intend to buy another air-ticket to fly back to cast my vote in person in Malaysia.

Yes, air ticket is expensive. However, nothing can be more important than the fate of our country!

 

IF YOU DON´T VOTE, MALAYSIA MAY GO MISSING! 

MAKE YOUR BEST EFFORTS TO COME OUT / FLY BACK TO VOTE! 

SAVE MALAYSIA!!!

Bersih Shanghai: 选民「回国投票」补贴250

Bersih Shanghai subsidies RMB500 (about RM250) each for overseas Malaysians living in China to fly back to vote in Malaysia!

人民幣500今推展 选民「回国投票」补贴250



東方日報 2013年3月8日



(吉隆坡8日讯)人民幣500今天开始推展「回国投票」运动,补贴在中国居留的马来西亚註册选民的回国机票。

该项运动要达致的两个目標如下:

1.收集与公佈要回国投票的选民名单以鼓励「回国投票」

2.补贴最低每人人民幣500(约250令吉),让居留中国的大马选民可在即將举行的第13届大选,回国投票。

至少30选民受惠

有意参加该运动的选民,可在以下的网上报名表格:http://bersihshanghai.wufoo.com/forms/go-back-to-vote-campaign/上海净选盟相信大选是其中一个最为决定性的因素和体制,决定一个国家是否繁荣成长还是衰败,並也决定我们国家的命运,並影响到各个阶层的人民。

上海净选盟今日发出文告指出,补贴的数量取决于他们获得的赞助资金,並按先到先得的方式发放。

目他们获得第一笔赞助为人民幣1万5000(约7500令吉)赞助,以开展此运动,这意味著目前有至少30名大马选民可获得机票补贴。

「如果我们收到更多的赞助,我们將提高补贴的数量。」

上海净选盟重申所要求的,即海外投票站採取同样选票標准计票程序,实行以允许监票员,以核实並同意选票的相关数据、確保在海外投票站的选票是合理的发出、计算、选举结果在海外投票站,就必须被確认才送回马来西亚选委会。

「我们不要选票在运送会大马选委会的过程中,曝露在被调换的风险中。」


GO BACK TO VOTE CAMPAIGN IN SHANGHAI

Bersih Shanghai launches the “Go Back To Vote Campaign” today where voters residing in China could get their air fare subsidised.

The campaign serving two objectives:
1. To collect and publish a list of “going back” voters in order to promote "Go Back To Vote"
2. To subsidy minimum RMB500/person to registered Malaysian voters in China who need the support, allowing them to fly back and vote for GE13.

Interested Malaysians can join the campaign by filling up the form online as below:
http://bersihshanghai.wufoo.com/forms/go-back-to-vote-campaign/

Bersih Shanghai believes that the General Election is one of the most decisive factors and institutions deciding whether a Nation is growing prosperous or fail, it will decide the fate of our country and affecting all level of people.

Subsidies are subject to available sponsor and provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. We now have received the 1st batch of sponsor of RMB15,000 to kick off the campaign and there will be at least 30 voters get subsidised for their air fare.

We will increase the available sponsor if we received further contribution.

Bersih Shanghai reiterates our demand that the same standard vote counting procedures must be adopted at the overseas polling stations with the appointment of counting agents to verify and agree to the figures of ballots, to ensure ballots are properly issued, counted and counting result being agreed at the polling station before sending back to Malaysia. We do not want the ballots being exposed under the risk of being replaced during the transportation to SPR office in Malaysia. 



As the ballots counting is not going to be held at the overseas polling location (embassies), but to be counted at Putrajaya, we are worried that the overseas votes could be replaced during the transportation.


Due to the above concern, we encourage those who share the concern to go back and vote.


We also understand that there are many Malaysians in China who wish to come back to vote but less affordable; following this special subsidy, we hope they could now go back to vote.

BN's legitimacy as Federal govt ends 9th March 2013

Expert: BN's legitimacy as Federal govt ends this Saturday 

Harakah Daily 

6th March 2013: While the current Barisan Nasional Federal government may continue after this Friday, five years to the day the last general election was held in 2008, its political legitimacy can be questioned, said a constitutional law expert.

"BN remaining in office from March 9 to June 28, 2013 is constitutional and legal, but its political legitimacy and moral authority are in question.

"Voters can legitimately say that they voted for a BN government on March 8, 2008 to govern for five years, and if that government does not choose to secure another mandate within that period, it becomes a caretaker government," said prominent lawyer Tommy Thomas in an article published by news portal Malaysiakini.

According Tommy, the current parliament will expire on April 28 this year, and general election must be held within 60 days, by June 28.

However, he said if prime minister Najib Razak's administration would like to stick to the tradition of holding state and parliamentary elections on the same day, parliament should be dissolved much earlier than May 26.

This is because May 26 is the last day polling must be held for Negri Sembilan, whose state assembly expires automatically on March 26.


'Why delay?'

Tommy (pic, left) said the Westminster-style system adopted in Malaysia meant that the PM could dictate the date of election, even to call for polls much earlier.

He recalled that in utilising this privilege, all past prime ministers including Abdullah Badawi had dissolved parliament early.

"So why has Najib Abdul Razak not utilised the privilege attached to his office by advising the Agong to dissolve Parliament before the expiry of his term, to be followed by GE13? Only one answer can be inferred: BN is running scared of defeat," he added.

He said the ties between politics and business could also lend credence to the theory that the government would like to enter into contracts benefitting its political coffers ahead of the elections.

Tommy called on Najib to dissolve parliament this Saturday, when the five-year term since the last general election ends, in which case it will be right to call the present government a 'caretaker government'.

"Ultimately, it is pointless to speculate. The undeniable fact is that five years would pass this weekend after the holding of the last election, with no announcement of a dissolution of Parliament and the fixing of the date for GE13. When this occurs, the BN government forfeits the moral high ground to govern our nation," wrote Tommy.Best viewed using Mozilla Firefox 9.0.1 or Chrome with 1280x800 resolution.







Morgan Stanley 警告: 大马正面临“荷兰病”威胁


在国阵五十多年的执政下,大马正显露罹患“荷兰病”的症状,若再继续多做五年,人民都要去“荷兰”了....

全球最大和最具影响力的金融机构之一Morgan Stanley摩根士丹利最近作出警告,大马正面临“荷兰病”威胁,即结构性改革放缓的问题,以致私人界的投资趋于低迷的情况。

由于我国丰富的天然资源和原产品的荣景,加上政府特定的“照顾”政策,以及目前有利的人口增长,提供了令人感觉舒适的成长缓冲,以致决策者忽视了所需的生产效率和竞争能力。

摩根史丹利指出,自首相纳吉上任后,我国已进行改革,但仍无法解决根本问题,即缺乏符合资格的劳动力,以致转型无法深入根基。

对于国阵要在来届大选赢得三分二多数议席执政,摩根史丹是不表乐观的,并表示若国阵能赢回三分之二国会优势,将使投资者感到惊讶

其实,经济学领域所说的荷兰病(Dutch Disease)指的是一个资源丰富的国家,过度依赖资源的出口,对国家长期的发展也许却是有害的。

例如,当自然资源被开采枯竭的时候,或者当资源价格下跌的时候,该国家或地区的收入就会迅速下降,而无法维持原来由于资源大量出口所形成的生产和生活的格局。

在马来西亚,政府过度依赖石油开采的收入,一年比一年严重,近几年来,国油(Petronas)收入均佔了联邦政府收入的约1/3,如在2011年便佔了约600亿令吉。因此,为了确保石油与天然气收入减少的日日来临前,我国能够提高本身的生产效率和竞争力,换掉国阵政府是最有效的方式。

马来西亚正处外资撤走高风险中, 国债5年内增两倍

should CHANGE does not happen this time, Malaysia is going to follow the footsteps of Greece officially! Even PR is able to win, there are LOTS of repair to be carried out, especially there is a black hole in the nation fund! Malaysia is (or more accurately "can be") a great country. i feel so sorry to my fellow Malaysians who most of them are decent and warm-hearted. I hope so much my home country Malaysia and my fellow Malaysians can have what they should have long deserved!


*************************************  

中国网 

鲁比尼全球经济报告指出,由于欧元区及美国银行在马来西亚的资金超过国内生产总值的25%,因此马来西亚处在外资撤走的高风险中。
  报告指出,欧洲债务危机、中国及美国经济放缓及中东局势紧张,形成一波撼动全球经济的“完美风暴”。以货币政策及财政能力而言,马来西亚应对危 机能力最低,接下来是泰国、日本及印度尼西亚。鲁比尼全球经济研究机构创办人——“末日博士”鲁比尼,曾经准确预测2008年金融危机。

  报告指出,马来西亚是亚洲最弱的经济体之一。根据各国的贸易及金融联系显示,马来西亚、台湾地区、韩国及越南最容易受到完美风暴影响。另外,韩 国、澳大利亚、越南及菲律宾最有能力应对这股外来冲击。马来西亚、台湾地区、日本及泰国是十大最脆弱的国家,澳大利亚、印度、韩国及菲律宾受到最少影响。

  报告说,随着马来西亚政府收入有所增加,但其金融缺口却可能因为“民粹主义”的支出及国油削减分红而扩大。随着大选即将来临,政府将在2013年财政预算案给予更多现金援助,剩下更少资源用于生产性投资。报告预计明年马来西亚债务对国内生产总值的比率将达到54.6%。

  报告发现,马来西亚政府为了提高在来届大选的知名度,于今年6月份提呈一个约138亿令吉附加供应法案,要求为18个政府部门和机构追加总数 137.95345亿令吉的额外开销和特殊用途的款项,其中选委会和内政部为了来届大选,而合共追加的上述7.13522亿令吉拨款。报告预计马来西亚国 家银行将在2013年底降息至2.5%,以应付欧洲及中国经济放缓。

Aquino: Signs point to conspiracy

'Persons of interest' in Sabah conflict are being investigated

MANILA - President Aquino on Monday said there are definite signs of a conspiracy in the move of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram III and his followers to use force to press their claim over Sabah, Malaysia.

In a statement, Aquino told Kiram III, one of the claimants to the title of sultan of Sulu, that it is unreasonable to ask for understanding "when you have a gun pointed at my head."

He noted that aside from the lives of Kiram's men, the Philippine government is also concerned about the 800,000 Filipinos in Sabah whose lives could be jeopardized by the Kiram group's action.

The President said he is not blind to signs that point to a conspiracy in the ongoing tension.

"Mulat tayo na may mga taong nagkutsabahan upang humantong tayo sa sitwasyong ito, isang sitwasyon na walang agarang solusyon. Ilan po sa kanila ay nakikita natin habang ang iba naman ay nagkukubli naman sa dilim," he said.

"Sa mga taong nasa likod nito, ngayon pa lang sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi kayo magtatagumpay. Pananagutin natin ang nagkasala sa bansa," he added.

He later told reporters that he had received intelligence reports and authorities are monitoring "persons of interest" on the Sabah issue.

Aquino said all the individuals pushing for the Kiram claim were mouthing the same lines over and over again. He also noted the Kirams would have had to spend at least P100,000 to hire a large boat to bring their forces to Lahad Datu in Sabah, Malaysia.

Aquino said the Kiram family used 2 large boats and a speedboat to bring their men to Sabah.

He indicated that the Kirams could not have financed the operation, noting that Kiram III is receiving financial support from the government through the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) for his regular dialysis.

Aquino said the Kiram family used 2 large boats and a speedboat to bring their men to Sabah.

"Funds and the food, the money that was left behind, yung mga concerted, seemingly concerted criticisms all point to a conspiracy," he said.

Asked about the meeting between former President Gloria Arroyo's National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales and Jamalul Kiram, the President said he does not accuse without the proper evidence.

"Hintayin na lang po natin ang resulta ng imbestigasyon," he said.

Aquino said he spoke with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak who said negotiations with the Kiram group were no longer possible after the deaths of Malaysian police commandos last week. --
