King Consents To Najib's Appointment As Sixth PM

PUTRAJAYA, April 2 (Bernama) -- Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin has consented to the appointment of Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as the sixth prime minister of Malaysia, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan announced Thursday.

He said in a statement that Najib would be presented his letter of appointment as prime minister and would take his oath of office, loyalty and confidentiality before the Yang di-Pertuan Agong at Istana Negara at 10am tomorrow.

This morning, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to hand over the letter relinquishing the post of prime minister in accordance with the agreed transition of power from him to Najib.

Pak Lah (and all of you), pls read this...!

Trapped in an elevator! Horror experience?

Friday February 13, 2009
Abdullah trapped in lift for 30 mins
PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was trapped in a lift for 30 minutes when the doors jammed at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre.
The Prime Minister, accompanied by Malacca Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Khalil Yaakob and Public Service Department (PSD) director-general Tan Sri Ismail Adam, had taken the lift to the concourse where he was to deliver a speech at the PSD Diamond Jubilee celebrations at 10.30am.
In his speech at the function later, Ismail touched on the unfortunate incident.

Details, click subject

Seriously, what shall we do if trapped in an elevator? Let me share some do's & don'ts (...used to be Safety & Health Committee kat Pejabat dulu...)
.
1. Don't panic. Afterall you can't go anywhere what...and, you're not alone (even if you're actually alone inside the elevator -->> but don't worry, the guards @ control room are with you)
.
2. Press all buttons for all floors -- why? To avoid "direct" gravity force to the elevator. Kalau freefall jatuh bebas pun, setingkat demi setingkat, tak lah jatuh berdebusss...dari tingkat 10.
.
3. Push bell button, intercom, any communication device in the elevator. If negative, use your HP. No HP? Knock the door (using minimum energy).
.
4. No lighter/smoking. Just relax & do'a. Someone will help you. Wait for a while, if not 10 minutes, it can be 20 minutes or 1 hour.
.
5. If you have MP3 or HP games, now is the best time to fully utilise them.
.
...and you see, even Pak Lah pun relaks je keluaq dari lif selepas terkurung 30 minit...
.
rasanya boleh agak dah, lepas ni orang building maintenance pun kenalah menjawab...sabo je la...

PM to Quit in March 2009


Agence France-Presse - 10/8/2008 10:56 AM GMT
Malaysian PM to quit next March
Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Wednesday he will step down next March and hand power to his deputy, ending months of uncertainty since disastrous general elections.
Abdullah has been under intense pressure to quit since leading the Barisan Nasional coalition to its worst polls performance in half a century, losing a third of parliamentary seats and five states to the opposition.
The premier said he expected his United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), which leads the multi-racial coalition, to select Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak for the top job in a leadership vote next March.
"I will hand over power to... Najib after he wins the election at the general assembly. I am sure he will win," Abdullah told a press conference, calling on the party to halt months of destructive bickering.
"It is not the time for us to indulge in infighting or engage in narrow politics, it is now time for us to strengthen our unity and co-operate among ourselves and place the interests of the country above all."
The president of UMNO -- which has dominated Malaysian politics since independence from Britain in 1957 -- by tradition automatically becomes prime minister of the country.
Abdullah, 68, originally wanted to hand over to Najib in mid-2010 but was forced to review his departure date as he lost support from the ruling party's grassroots, which was stunned by the March election results.
He also faced a challenge from opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who says he has enough support from defecting lawmakers to topple the government, but is being blocked from forming a new administration.
Abdullah came to power in 2003 and was initially buoyed by a groundswell of support for his promises of reform after two decades of hardline rule under veteran premier Mahathir Mohamad.
However, he was quickly seen as weak and ineffective after failing to tackle corruption, high crime rates and inefficient bureaucracy which he had vowed to address.
Abdullah insisted Wednesday he still intended to fulfil his promises, and pledged to give more power to the anti-corruption body and create a new commission to appoint judges who are currently picked by the premier.
The political vacuum since the elections has paralysed foreign investment and suppressed trade on the stock exchange, in a malaise which is now being worsened by the global economic crisis.
UMNO vice-president Mohamad Ali Rustam, a possible contender for the newly vacated deputy premier's post, said the announcement would revitalise the party which has been in disarray since the elections.
"This will unite UMNO and Barisan Nasional so that we can win the next election. I hope all UMNO members will support Najib," he said. "Najib has to regain public confidence for the Barisan Nasional."
UMNO represents the interests of the country's Muslim Malay majority, and its coalition partners representing ethnic Chinese and Indians were wiped out in the elections which saw minorities flock to Anwar's opposition.
"Barisan Nasional's challenge is to see how it can concretely carry out reforms. BN needs rebranding. It has to change its attitude and approach," said Koh Tsu Koon, chief of the Chinese-based Gerakan party.
"The next general elections is not going to be easy unless we really, really reform," he added.
Political observers said Najib faced a massive task to revitalise the government which is seen as out of touch and riddled with corruption and cronyism.
"He certainly will want to portray himself as a reformer, he will need to do that in order to survive, but voter patience is a lot thinner now than a few years ago," said Ibrahim Suffian from the Merdeka Centre research firm.
"With the advent of a new leader they might salvage some sort of hope and credibility," he said.

Abdullah Expresses Surprise Over Muhyiddin's Statement On Transition Plan


PUTRAJAYA, Sept 11 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today expressed surprise over a statement by Umno vice-president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin that his transition plan to step down in June 2010 was too long. Abdullah, who is also Umno president, said the Cabinet understood and agreed with the transition plan and the Umno Supreme Council had also agreed to it."I'm surprised that a member of my Cabinet should come up with that kind of statement. It is against what has been agreed to," he told reporters after chairing the 20th MSC Malaysia Implementation Council Meeting at his office here. Abdullah was asked to comment on the statement yesterday in Singapore by Muhyiddin, who is also International Trade and Industry Minister, that the transition plan had "sunk away" and that people were not thinking about it anymore. Abdullah also said he was surprised that Muhyiddin came up with such an opinion as he had agreed to that (transition plan) before. Under the plan for transition of power, Abdullah is to hand over the post of prime minister, the chairmanship of the Barisan Nasional (BN) and the presidency of Umno to his deputy, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, in June 2010.Abdullah said: "I'm not staying on just for the pleasure. I tell you this is not work that I can regard as pleasure."The prime minister said there were many political matters and problems that had to be attended to and "lots of programmes that I have already indicated that I must do my best to complete".Abdullah said these included the reform of the judiciary and the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA)."And I still have the IPCMC (Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission); a matter to look into, the last part of the police reform. At the same time, I have promised that we would like to achieve eradication of hardcore poverty."I would like to work very hard on it and, at the same time, there is a lot of work that needs to be done, to reform the Barisan Nasional (BN) and also to add more, to expand the (BN's) capacity to serve the people," he said.Abdullah said that as for Umno, there was also a lot to be done, as well as to help his deputy, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, to achieve the objectives of the stated programmes.Asked whether he would ask Muhyiddin to explain why he had come out with such a statement, Abdullah said: "There is no need to ask me what I'm going to do."On former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's decision to rejoin Umno, he said the subject was not discussed (at yesterday's meeting of the Umno Supreme Council)."My view alone is not enough ... this is a matter for the party. I cannot make a stand on this," he said. Dr Mahathir resigned from Umno on May 19.-- BERNAMA

TSM, seriously, you got to have guts to utter "not-so-nice-words" to your boss... all of a sudden, you can jump, punch and kick ... the other day, you showed us that you're gently soft spoken leader, you supported the transition plan, ala-ala jaga sopan gitu..

btw, it seems TSM prefers to make statements "garang bangat" during his visits to Singapore...tactically or technically planned..? (dont say misquote & misinterpret, k)

CUCUK & TANAM

Ibu bapa perlu dedahkan anak-anak tentang ilmu pertanian - Jeanne
19/08/2008 5:48pm
MELAKA 19 Ogos - Isteri Perdana Menteri, Datin Seri Jeanne Abdullah meminta golongan ibu bapa agar membuat pendedahan awal kepada anak-anak mengenai ilmu pertanian dalam usaha menarik minat golongan muda menguasai bidang tersebut.
Menurutnya, ibu bapa perlu menggalakkan anak-anak mereka terlibat dalam kegiatan atau program pertanian supaya bidang itu tidak dianggap perkara asing kepada mereka apabila dewasa kelak.
``Selain membantu kerajaan dalam menjayakan program pertanian, usaha ini sekali gus dapat mengeratkan hubungan kekeluargaan antara ibu bapa dan anak-anak,'' katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian sewaktu berucap melancarkan Program Bumi Hijau peringkat negeri yang turut dihadiri Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi di Taman Merdeka, Batu Berendam di sini hari ini.
Program itu turut dihadiri Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd. Ali Rustam dan isteri, Datin Seri Asmah Abd. Rahman.
Kempen Bumi Hijau yang dilancarkan oleh Perdana Menteri bulan lalu bertujuan menggalakkan masyarakat untuk bercucuk tanam dan menternak sendiri ikan, ayam dan itik bagi kegunaan sendiri sebagai usaha mengurangkan kesan kenaikan harga makanan baru-baru ini.

Melihat secara positif - usul ini sangat baik bahkan boleh dilakukan dengan syarat ada semangat muafakat. Kalau kat kampung kira OK cadangan ni.
.
Kalau kat bandar, boleh usul melalui Persatuan Penduduk (Residents' Association - RA). Kenalpasti satu tempat di Taman Perumahan untuk buat projek berpusat. Atau untuk kawasan perumahan baru, pemaju kena sediakan 1-5 ekar kawasan untuk RA bercucuktanam & menternak. Gazetkan!
.
Dan, seterusnya, RA sila hubungi saya untuk kita bincang projek apa yang perlu dibuat di situ.

Tanda Kasih

( Pompuan Nyanyi Dulu: )
Kalau hati sudah suka
Semua indah saja
Itukah tanda bunga kasih bermula
Di dalam jiwa

( Lelaki - Suara kena garau sikit: )
Memang benar kata dinda
Berkasih ada tanda
Tetapi hati mana sanggup merana
Sepanjang masa

( P: )
Berputus asa jangan
( L: )
Mengeluh pun jangan
( P: )
Tenangkan hati
Janji jangan lupakan
Supaya aman

( L: )Berpisah lama jangan
( P: )Berjauh pun jangan
( L: )Supaya rindu tidak jadi bebanan. Menyiksa badan

( L&P: Pegang mic sama-sama)
Hati susah jadi senang
Kenangan jika datang
Terasa kasih sama tiba menjelang
Menambah sayang

Sebab apa hati resah
Seperti orang salah
Itukah tanda kasih akan berpisah
Membawa tuah
