Sir Alex: Ronaldo's on fire

Sir Alex Ferguson says Cristiano Ronaldo has reached top form after watching the Reds winger strike two unstoppable free-kicks in the 5-0 win over Stoke.

The United boss was pleased to see Ronaldo score his 100th and 101st goals for the Reds with two wonderfully struck set-pieces.

It indicates that the Portuguese winger is now back to his very best following a start to the season disrupted by an ankle operation in the summer.

"You saw his celebration, he was very pleased and the crowd were delighted," said Sir Alex.

"He's on fire now, he's back. He's overcome his operation and he is getting quicker with every game. His fitness levels are fantastic. The boy is back."

United's five-star performance against Stoke wasn't all about Ronaldo. Michael Carrick, Dimitar Berbatov and Premier League debutant Danny Welbeck also chipped in. And Sir Alex was pleased with the way the Reds defended against Stoke's physical and aerial threats.

"We did some work on it during the week. We handled the throw-ins very well - I think the crowd helped us there!" he said, referring to the way United's fans jeered whenever a Delap throw-in didn't fluster the Reds rearguard.

'Political castration' new buzzword in Sarawak

Senior Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) leaders have dismissed charges of being solely responsible for the ‘political castration of the majority Dayak community’ as alleged by Ngemeh state assemblyman Gabriel Adit who joined opposition party PKR on Saturday.
MCPX
“The Dayak leaders themselves are to blame for their (the community’s) political castration. They are disunited out of personal greed and lack discipline,” said one senior Melanau party activist from the Bumiputera wing of PBB in a text message from Kuching.

“They would rather see their political parties break up and deregistered.”

Over the weekend, Adit (left) announced that 12,000 of his supporters have joined PKR and they were welcomed with open arms in Sibu by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

But the ruling PPB in Sarawak is not particularly perturbed by Adit’s action, which has boosted PKR strength to two in the 71-seat state assembly.

“PKR is not going to solve their mistrust of each other and their self-destructive nature. At best, PKR is a temporary transit house for them,” added the PBB leader.

The PBB leader was responding to the following SMS text and query from Malaysiakini to a selection of leaders, activists and members from BN component parties, PKR, SNAP and the yet-to-be-registered Malaysian Dayak Congress (MDC).

“12,000 new members led by Adit joined PKR in Sibu tonight (Nov 15). He handed over the application forms at a dinner attended by nearly 4,000 people. Adit said that PKR is the best vehicle to solve the problem of the political castration of the Dayaks. What do you think?”

Another respondent, PKR Sabah chief Jeffrey Gimpoi Kitingan, had this to say in a longish text message at 1am on Nov 16 from Sibu where he attended a 4,000-strong dinner hosted by the ‘Friends of PKR’ where Adit headed the organising committee.

“I could see and feel the desire for change and the excitement over Anwar’s speech and that of others who spoke, including Adit,” said Jeffrey.

“I think the Dayak/Iban have no better alternative than PKR/PR (Pakatan Rakyat) to overcome their castration. Their problems involve injustices that can only be solved by an alternative national government. Local parties wouldn’t be in a position to take on the (Abdul) Taib (Mahmud)-led BN state government.

“The Dayaks need a good sympathetic national leader to get them out of the situation - one who is also interested in bringing about national political change. I believe that man is DSAI (Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim)...

“Anwar will make sure that the next generation of Dayak leaders will look after the interest of the people rather than their selfish interest.”

How Dayak parties were neutralised

Jeffrey witnessed the handover of the 12,000 application forms by Gabriel Adit, a nephew of Leo Moggie Irok - the first and last president of PBDS (Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak) which went defunct after moneybags in PBB openly backed James Masing to take on party founder Daniel Tajem, a long-time nemesis of Taib Mahmud.

It has been alleged that Taib wanted PBDS deregistered and “finished off for good”.

One respondent to Malaysiakini’s SMS query wanted to know the meaning of castration, while others were of the view that Kuala Lumpur was behind the disunity of the Dayaks.

Many have also pinned the blame on ‘unclean’ leaders parachuted in and thrust on the Dayak community so that they (the leaders) could be easily manipulated by the powers-that-be.

Some suggested that Abdul Rahman Yaakub and his nephew, Taib Mahmud, could not have stayed in power for almost four decades without federal government backing and see them as proxies for the real rulers in Kuala Lumpur.

Poverty, money politics and timber politics have also been cited as among the reasons for the political castration of the Dayak community.

“The coming of PKR to Sarawak is just like the entry of Umno to Sabah. PKR can do for Dayak politics what Umno did for Muslim politics in Sabah,” said one text message from a member of the pro-tem committee of the Malaysian Dayak Congress.

“Most of these Dayak leaders at the moment are satisfied with their regular ‘angpow’ packets from the powers-that-be. The money from the spoils of office keeps them in line. They couldn’t care less about their people.

“Besides, many of them have skeletons in their closets and can be easily manipulated. For example, one state minister is a gambling addict and has so many bank loans to take care of. Is he going to worry about himself or the Dayaks?”

The response from a senior Snap leader was telling.

He suggested taking another look at the history of how the present power equation in Sarawak came about and resulted in the political castration of the Dayak community.

According to him, Snap provided the first and second chief ministers - Stephen Kalong Ningkan and Tawi Sli respectively - until the Special Branch and the federal government entered the picture to break up the party’s dominance and bring about a re-alignment of the power structure which worked against the interests of the Dayak community.

“All the good Dayak leaders were either chased out, sidelined or hounded out of political existence as timber politics under Rahman Yaakub and the politics of development under Taib entered the picture,” said the Snap leader.

The rise of Muslim parties

The present power equation apparently began with two small Muslim parties, Barjasa and Panas, merging to form Parti Bumiputera in the late 1960s.

Parti Bumiputera in turn merged with Pesaka, an Iban party, led by Temenggong Jugah, the paramount chief of the Ibans.

The merger in January 1973 was allegedly “forced” on Pesaka by Kuala Lumpur which hinted that any opposition would be met with detention under the Internal Security Act - a fate suffered by several Sarawak United People’s Party (Supp) leaders at that time.

Bumiputera and Pesaka still remain separate but within PBB, with bumiputera having a 2:1 majority over Pesaka, thus effectively preventing the Pesaka leader emerging as the leader of PBB.

With the entry of Supp and Snap into the coalition government, the Dayak seats outside the Pesaka fold were further divided between Supp and Snap, with the latter having the lion’s share in the ratio of 3:1.

Within the Chinese-based Supp itself, the Dayaks formed a third of the membership and the seats.

Dayak Supp members, like Pesaka, helped dilute the political strength of the Dayak community while adding political strength to Supp and PBB with nothing in return for their community.

By the time Taib became chief minister in 1981, replacing his maternal uncle Abdul Rahman, he was still not happy with Snap having such a large number of Dayak seats.

Apparently, he bankrolled Moggie and Tajem to take on James Wong, the Snap president.

The result was the formation of PBDS in mid-1983 after Taib had indicated that Moggie and his supporters were not welcome in PBB since their entry would tip the power balance in favour of the Dayaks.

Earlier, during their open rebellion against Wong’s politics of money power, Moggie (right) had been led to believe that they would be accepted as members of PBB if they were expelled from Snap by the Limbang-based timber tycoon and former deputy chief minister, who ran the party like one of his family businesses and treated members like his workers.

Wong himself had spent some time under ISA detention for “planning to sell Limbang” to Brunei which had longed claimed the territory which almost completely separates Brunei into two halves.

The authorities never explained how Wong could on his own sell Limbang to Brunei. Wong was only released after Moggie and Tajem persuaded him to take Snap into coalition with the state BN.

Takeover of PBDS and eventual split

Tajem’s takeover of PBDS was opposed by Taib through James Masing’s challenge and the ultimate result was the deregistration of PBDS and the formation of the breakaway PRS (Parti Rakyat Sarawak) which has suffered the fate of two presidents with assistant state minister Larry Sng claiming to be the real president in defiance of Masing.

Taib retains Larry Sng in the state cabinet despite Masing expelling him from PRS after the Registrar of Societies, on the directive of Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, recognised him as the lawful president on the eve of the March 8 general elections.

Many of the Dayak state assemblymen and parliamentarians outside PBB and Supp are beholden to Alfred Jabu (right), the Pesaka leader, who has come up with a system of “loaning” his nominees as candidates to the other BN component parties.

These nominees are not even members of the political parties they are chosen to represent. This has led to charges of PBB bullying other BN component parties.

Meanwhile, Snap was deregistered and expelled from the BN but won a new lease of life through the courts. A Snap breakaway, SPDP (Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party), led by William Mawan, was accepted as a member of the Barisan Nasional.

Attempts by ex-PBDS members led by Tajem (left) to form the Malaysian Democratic Congress were rebuffed by the Registrar of Societies on “national security grounds”.

They are now turning to PKR as the only avenue for their political struggle although Tajem and Masing have since made up with each other.

Adit first won the Ngemeh seat on a PBDS ticket but was denied that seat in the 2006 state elections.

He stood as an independent and won and was refused entry into any BN component party on the grounds that he had “opposed the coalition and stolen a seat which belonged to PRS”.

Before Adit contested the election, he was a member of SPDP which had hoped to “swap” for the Ngemeh seat.

Adit had backed Tajem against Masing in the struggle for control of PBDS after Moggie suddenly resigned over “hurtful and ungrateful remarks” in public by Masing over his (Moggie’s) long stay in office.

Anwar to tell all at PKR congress?

The PKR congress this year will revisit the abortive Sept 16 plan to take over the federal government, with

MCPX

de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim expected to explain why the Pakatan Rakyat plan fell flat.

Supreme council member Khalid Jaafar, when contacted, said an explanation could defuse some of the perceptions and allegations that have been bandied about.

“(The congress) can be a platform to revive people’s faith in the party, since naturally there is disappointment over the Sept 16 plan,” he said.

“So far they’ve (Umno) talked about power transition, however we need to talk about power transfer, and quicken it if possible.”

About 2,000 delegates from 160 divisions are expected to attend the three-day congress from Nov 28, beginning with the Wanita and Youth meetings, at the Stadium Melawati in Shah Alam.
This year’s theme is Harapan Baru (A New Dawn).

Khalid said Anwar (right) would touch on changes in store for PKR, as well as talk about Umno.

“This congress will not just be a routine meeting. We have to mobilise the party since 2009 will be volatile with the (scheduled) power transition in Umno,” he added.

Deputy secretary-general Abdul Halim Mohamed Yusof said the congress will focus on strengthening the membership base.

This is vital because Parliament may be dissolved if after the power transition in Umno next March, he said.

Supreme council member Dr Xavier Jeyakumar said the congress will look at how the party can enhance ties with other Pakatan members and how the party can move forward.

“Personally I would like to see more ideas on how we can improve relationships between Pakatan states, and (how PKR can) mobilise to become the party of the future,” he said.

Formed in 1998 as Keadilan, during the reformasi period following Anwar’s arrest, the party subsequently merged with Parti Rakyat Malaysia to become Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

The year that was

This has already been quite a year for the party, which achieved resounding success in the March general election to take 30 federal seats - compared to just one in the 2004 polls.

PKR played a pivotal role in the run-up to the election, working with opposition allies DAP and PAS to avoid three-way fights with Barisan Nasional (BN). They won 81 seats, denying BN its two-thirds majority in Parliament.

The party now helms the Selangor government and is represented in Penang, Kedah and Perak, all of which fell to the opposition alliance.

In June, Anwar came up against a complaint of sodomy filed by ex-aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 23, but has elected to defend himself against the charge.

Some speculated that the allegation was part of a BN plot to derail Anwar’s agenda to take over the federal government by Sept 16, with the help of 31 defections.

This was at a time when several component parties in the ruling coalition were experiencing internal turmoil after the election debacle or were jostling for a higher profile in BN.

Although the defections did not take place, Anwar continued to claim in October that he still had sufficient support to take the plan through.

Another landmark event for PKR was Anwar’s return to active politics, having completed a five-year ban that followed his conviction and six-year jail sentence for corrupt practice from April 1999.

His wife and PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who had held the Permatang Pauh parliamentary seat in the interim, vacated it on July 31.

Winning comfortably in his old stamping ground, Anwar was appointed opposition leader.

There is no word as yet if Wan Azizah will step down from her party post at the upcoming congress for Anwar to take control of PKR - party polls are only due next year.

DAP's anti-ISA run kicks off

DAP's anti-ISA (Internal Security Act) flag began its 350km journey on foot to the Kamunting Detention Camp in Pandamaran, Selangor today with several party personalities kicking things off.

MCPX

Party vice-chairperson and former ISA detainee Tan Kok Wai flagged off the low-key event at the Pandamaran new village at 8.15am with a short speech.

He said the walk was meant to express the public's disappointment with the continued use of unjust and repressive laws such as the ISA.

"We call upon the government to immediately and unconditionally release all detainees held under the ISA," he told a crowd of about 50 party supporters.

Tan said the purpose of the run, dubbed the 'freedom run', was also to call for a lift of the ban on the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), adding that it symbolises equality, freedom, and a call to all Malaysians to unite in order to "move forward".

The DAP event was given a boost with the presence of popular blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin and his wife Marina Lee Abdullah. Raja Petra has been detained twice under the ISA.

The wife on Hindraf legal advisor V Ganabatirau, V Buvaneswary, was also present during the flag off. Ganabatirau and four other Hindraf leaders have been in detention in Kamunting since Dec 13 last year.

'Run will be bear fruit'

Other personalities at the event included DAP advisor Dr Chen Man Hin and Selangor state executive councilor Ronnie Liu, who was the first runner at the event.

"It was an honour to be the first," said Liu, who headed towards Bukit Tinggi, where the flag was passed to an awaiting runner at the service centre of Klang MP Charles Santiago.

Liu told Malaysiakini that he had high hopes that the objective of the run would be accomplished as similar runs in the past had been successful.

This includes DAP's campaign to save Bukit Cina, Malacca from development and SRJK(C) Damansara primary school from permanent closure.

"We have organised this kind of run in the past and every time, it had been fruitful. You can expect this run to bear fruit in the future as well," Liu said confidently.

Also lending their support were Pakatan Rakyat coalition partners PAS and PKR. Elected representatives from these two parties will be joining in the run when the flag passes through their constituencies.

Two Pakatan MP's who have confirmed their participation are S Manikavasagam (PKR-Kapar) and Dzulkefly Ahmad (PAS-Kuala Selangor).

End in Kamunting

If all goes to plan, the anti-ISA flag would pass through hundred of hands in the coastal towns of Kapar, Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan today, before ending up in Sabak Bernam, which borders Perak, by this evening.

After breaking for the night, the second leg of the run will begin at the border between Selangor and Perak before runners take the flag to Kamunting.

The flag would be passing through Teluk Intan, Setiawan, Pantai Remis, Simpang and Taiping before finally reaching Kamunting.

About a dozen plain-clothed police officers kept a close watch at the proceedings at the Pandamaran new village this morning while riot police were on standby in a nearby police station.

Azmi barbecued over Eurocopter findings

Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairperson Azmi Khalid has come under intense fire for clearing the government over the suspended RM1.6 billion Eurocopter deal.


MCPX
In lambasting the former home minister, DAP stalwart Lim Kit Siang cautioned him against creating the wrong impression.

"Azmi should be conscious that he should not act or conduct himself in any manner as to create suspicion or doubt whether he is being influenced by thoughts of getting back to the cabinet in the new Najib (Abdul Razak) administration beginning in five months time," he said in a statement today.

Yesterday, Azmi told a press conference that PAC found no procedural abuse in the suspended Eurocopter purchase but voiced concern that no physical examination was carried out.

He said PAC also proposed the formation of an independent review panel to look into large purchases.

Commenting on this, Lim said the PAC chairperson's statement had created consternation, disbelief and dismay of right thinking Malaysians and undermined public confidence in the parliament institution.

"Azmi cleared the government of grave procedural abuse in the tender process. However, in the next breath he admitted there was grave procedural abuse as no physical evaluation and test flights of the helicopters concerned," he added.

'Unilateral rush'

According to the Ipoh Timur MP, Azmi was guilty of an 'unilateral rush' to 'whitewash' the alleged grave procedural abuse in the Eurocopter helicopter tender process.

"Can he (Azmi) explain why he is prepared to overlook the grave procedural abuse of not having any physical evaluation and test flights of the helicopters tendered by claiming there was no procedural abuse?" he asked.

"As I pointed out in Parliament on Thursday during the winding-up of the Defence Ministry by Deputy Defence Minister Abu Seman Yusop, the helicopter tender documents specifically provided for 'documentary evaluation' in Section 37 and 'physical evaluation' in Section 38.

"We have here another instance of the conflicting claims and justifications by top government leaders for the Eurocopter deal fiasco, not only in three different versions for its price, but also on its evaluation," he said.

Lim said Abu Seman gave 'three ridiculous reasons' in parliament as to why there was no need to comply with the tender document requiring physical evaluation and test flight of the helicopters tendered.

On the other hand, he said Najib, who was defence minister when the helicopter deal was clinched, claimed that 'joyrides' of the Couger EC725 helicopter by RMAF pilots at the Lima Airshow in Langkawi were adequate as physical evaluation and test-flights.

"Why is Azmi swallowing 'line, hook and sinker' the government excuses for a gross abuse of procedure in the Eurocopter helicopter deal instead of showing an independent and critical mind which are the prerequisites for a conscientious PAC chairperson?" he asked.

Lim also explained that he was referring to Azmi personally and not the PAC because he was informed that no vote had been taken of the committee members for the PAC finding claimed by Azmi.

In fact, he said, this alleged finding of PAC is clearly not the views of all PAC members and it is most unfair and undemocratic for Azmi to claim that PAC had reached any such finding when it is not the case.

When is the report due?

Lim also saw red that his call for PAC to probe the suggestion by a former Nuri pilot that a better proposition is for an upgrade of the existing helicopters which will cost only a few hundred million ringgit was rejected by Azmi.

"I do not hold any watching brief for Sikorsky, the manufacturer of Nuri helicopters, and have no objection to the phasing out of the Nuris, if this is the considered opinion of any independent study of the matter as my top priority is the safety of the RMAF personnel using the helicopters.

"What I cannot accept is that Azmi has taken upon himself to pass such a judgement not as a result of an full inquiry by PAC, but because of the advice he had received by some Defence Ministry official," he said.

"If the PAC chairperson is going to be a puppet of any top ministry official, what is the use of having a PAC in the first place," he added.

Lim also asked when Azmi and PAC will submit its report on the Eurocopter inquiry to parliament for debate.

"Can the report be tabled by before the end of this month? Azmi must not forget that PAC is only a committee of the Dewan Rakyat which has the final responsibility to endorse, revise or reject its report and recommendations," he said.

According to Lim, this is the reason why there is a commonwealth parliamentary convention requiring opposition parliamentarians to become head of PAC.

This is to ensure it would not be bullied or overawed by the executive, he added.

Unanswered questions over Altantuya

MCPX'I empathise with Altantuya's father and I believe he must have thousands of questions running through his mind. How cruel is the world to him and his family.'On Abdul Razak Baginda acquitted Peter Ooi: Just like majority of Malaysians, I felt disappointed over Abdul Razak's acquittal. I empathise with Altantuya's father and I do feel how the whole world is tumbling down on him.I believe he must have thousands of questions running through his mind.Top of the list would be that had there not existed a man by the name of Abdul Razak Baginda, his dear daughter would not have made her fateful visit to Malaysia.Now that he has been acquitted, he must be wondering why such key evidence by Balasubramaniam was not examined in detail particularly the statutory declaration.Also he must be questioning where on earth Balasubramaniam has disappeared to without a trace. With all the expertise that our police have, he could have been traced with ease.Then he must be thinking why the police did not even examine the implications of SMSes between Najib and a lawyer. Any layman would feel that those messages were vital to the case and yet the prosecution did not use them.Altantuya's father must be thinking too why RPK - who made a statutory declaration - was not called as a witness but was instead slapped with criminal defamation charges.I believe Altantuya's father must be spending sleepless nights trying to find answers to even more questions than these few. How cruel is the world to him and his family.Can his daughter's murderers live with a clear conscience, I wonder.Lisa: The hearing has been so protracted and the evidence so convoluted that few have been able to follow facts of this murder case over the years.Add to that questions that were never addressed and other aspects of ‘water-muddying' and we have public perception of a tainted trial.Therefore, the belief is that there must have been something to hide and for that, Abdul Razak Baginda's acquittal will always make him guilty of something in the minds of the public.On Najib wins Umno presidency uncontestedTetraigrat: My dear members of Umno, ask yourself why didn't Mahathir pick Najib instead of Abdullah Badawi after sacking Anwar? Najib was one of the three VPs and had the highest winning votes.By that virtue, Najib should have rightfully been promoted to deputy prime minister after Anwar. was sacked from Umno. But Mahathir knew well Najib's skeletons and knew appointing him deputy premier would not been seen as right.Mahathir knew that people will question why was Najib appointed so to play to the tune of the people, Mahathir brought in Abdullah as a temporary solution though by virtue Najib should have been promoted.Now we only know that Mahathir is dead keen to get Najib in the PM's post to continue all his unfinished dreams at any cost. As it is being said, its not Najibism for Malaysia but a return of Mahathirism for another two or more decades.Putting this aside, with such a tainted background, Najib is not only playing puppet to Mahathir but may be blackmailed for favours. Why are the people in Umno subjecting Malaysia to this?Where is the morality of electing a true leader who has the country and people at heart? Perhaps we shouldn't be expecting morality from members of a party who put themself above the true interests of the party.On Backbenchers rap Penang's multi-lingual road signsSH Huang: Lately we read and hear a lot about road signs, road names and languages. What are the purposes of road signs, road names and their languages?Road names are usually named after certain personalities who had done some service for the people or nation. It is regrettable that some famous names have been replaced with some other names. Why should the names be changed?Some famous road names in Kuala Lumpur have been changed and this has made make tourists and locals alike a bit confused.Who would know the once-famous names like Foch Avenue, High Street, Davidson Road, Cross Street, Mountbatten Road, Batu Road, Swettenham Road, Circular Road, Brickfields Road, Madras Lane, Theatre Street to name a few ?I am sure many young people living in Kuala Lumpur will not know what their present names are! There is a history behind most of these names. Why try to change history?Many anti-colonialists want to discard the names which have a foreign sound. But those colonial masters administered the country named Malaya then and we should respect the British for the good administration they left behind.What about the language for road names? To familiarise the names which reputation took decades to build up, we should not change the language, just because we like to change them or just because we are in power and want to show our power. Leave them alone.But to make more people know about the place, we may need to have several languages like in Penang. Tourists want to know the meanings too.So several languages are included for easy reference and knowledge. Take the KLIA, for example. Why are their announcements in several languages? KLIA does it because it caters to foreigners.We should have proper road signs for easy access but keep the old road names for history and have several languages for road signs for tourists.On Why is Georgetown called Georgetown?Upper Caise: At the risk of sounding petty, it's not called ‘Georgetown'. The name of the heritage city of Nyonya and Straits Settlement culture and capital city of the state of Penang is George Town.Many make the common mistake of using Georgetown - but that is the name of various places in the world (the high class suburb in Washington DC, a university, many cities all over the US, a city in the Bahamas, and the capital of Guyana).But it is not the name of Penang's state capital no matter that the federal works and highway departments have misnamed the city so in road signs all over the state.And why George Town? After George III, the reigning monarch then, who is more well-known these days as the mad king who lost the colonies in North America.George Town was founded in 1876 - just 10 years after the colonists in New England declared independence.Another link to that event is in the naming of Fort Cornwallis, after the general who surrendered at Yorktown to the American revolutionaries and who was Governor-General of India when George Town was founded.Were the British obsessed with naming roads after themselves? Hardly. They named places after their notables and big shots, just like Malaysians do (but without the vanity of titles and full names, eg, Jalan Tan Sri Teh Ewe Lim, just one of several improbably long and snobbish present-day road names).So we have Weld Quay, after Frederick Weld, a governor and Gurney Drive, after Henry Gurney the high commissioner, but also Jalan Sir Hussein, after Hussein Abdoolcader, father of the late and respected federal court judge.

Brazil race analysis - Hamilton holds his nerve for glory

Lewis Hamilton started the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend as title favourite and duly ended it as champion. Ahead of their showdown, Felipe Massa said the pressure would be on his rival at Interlagos - and that’s exactly how it panned out. As the Brazilian romped to the home win he needed, Hamilton and McLaren understandably took a more cautious approach. It so nearly cost them everything, but ultimately gave us the most thrilling season finale in years...FerrariFelipe Massa, P1Kimi Raikkonen, P3Massa did everything so brilliantly that no wonder his supporters felt he deserved to be world champion. And for fleeting moments it seemed that he was, but then after he had crossed the finish line Hamilton passed Glock for the fifth place he needed, and the Brazilian lost by a point. Raikkonen said his Ferrari got much better towards the end, but was told not to bother challenging Alonso’s second place since third would be sufficient to secure the constructors’ title for the Scuderia as the consolation prize.RenaultFernando Alonso, P2Nelson Piquet, Retired lap 1, accidentPiquet might have crashed on the first lap, but Alonso drove another great race to take a strong second place, which bodes well for the team’s 2009 prospects.Toro RossoSebastian Vettel, P4Sebastien Bourdais, P14Running more downforce than most, Toro Rosso enjoyed another great run from Vettel, who was in the hunt for a good helping of points right from the start. Running to a different fuel strategy he pushed Massa hard at times, Vettel thoroughly deserved his fourth place. Bourdais should have had a shot at eighth, too, but was rudely bundled off the track by Trulli as they chased Fisichella early on.McLarenLewis Hamilton, P5Heikki Kovalainen, P7McLaren did not get the best from the MP4-23 as they appeared to aim just for the fifth place that Hamilton needed. Had it remained dry to the end, he would have achieved it without problem; as it was it came down to fate intervening as Glock lost so much ground on his dry tyres on that critical final lap. Nevertheless, a championship is won over a season not one race, and Hamilton and McLaren were deserving winners.ToyotaTimo Glock, P6Jarno Trulli, P8Trulli could not sustain his qualifying promise once he switched from wet to dry tyres early on, and much of that was because he got stuck behind Fisichella and lost a lot of ground. A half spin also dropped him behind Glock, and after a brush with Bourdais, he had to be content with eighth. Glock drove well, but the decision to stay out on dry tyres ultimately cost him the fourth place that it appeared to have brought him. He finished sixth, cementing Toyota’s fifth place overall.Red BullMark Webber, P9David Coulthard, Retired lap 1, accident damageThere was bad news and bad news for Red Bull. Coulthard got punted out of his final Grand Prix by Rosberg on the opening lap; and Webber said the RB4 did not have the pace to do better than ninth.BMW SauberNick Heidfeld, P10Robert Kubica, P11This was BMW Sauber’s worst race of the year, and marked not just the first time they failed to score points this season, but in 34 races - since Brazil 2006. Heidfeld got trapped in traffic early on and couldn’t make any progress thereafter, while Kubica only came alive after switching to wets in the rain at the end. But third place overall was still a solid indication of the team’s success in 2008.WilliamsNico Rosberg, P12Kazuki Nakajima, P17It was yet another unhappy afternoon for Williams, with Rosberg nudging Coulthard off on the opening lap, and triggering the incident in which the Scot inadvertently hit Nakajima’s car, spinning it. The Japanese driver sustained bodywork and suspension damage that compromised his race. 12th and 17th overall said it all.HondaJenson Button, P13Rubens Barrichello, P15Honda had another lacklustre race which resulted in 13th place for Button and 15th for Barrichello. Their gamble on extreme-wet tyres at the end backfired when the Brazilian overheated his and needed standard wet replacements after two laps, and the fact that the Englishman’s RA108 caught fire in the pit lane afterwards somehow summarised a terrible season.Force IndiaAdrian Sutil, P16Giancarlo Fisichella, P18Bringing Fisichella in on the second lap for dry tyres enabled the veteran Italian to star for a while as he ran as high as fifth, but a clutch problem later led to two stalls during pit stops and he slumped to finish 18th and last. Sutil had an uneventful run to 16th.

Gerakan's Vijayaratnam found dead

Gerakan vice-president Dr S Vijayaratnam was found dead outside his clinic in Seremban this morning. He was 58.
MCPXIt is learnt that the politician's body was discovered around 11.30am outside the three-storey building which he owned, known as 'Vijay Mahal', located along Jalan Tengku Hassan.
He leaves behind widow Anucia Tharumaratnam and two sons.
The police, who are investigating the death, this afternoon ruled out suicide or foul play.
In a statement, Gerakan said Vijayaratnam had suffered a heart attack and party sources scotched rumours that foul play was involved.
"Vijayaratnam passed away this morning due to a heart attack. This is sad news to Gerakan, the Barisan Nasional and the country," read the statement.
"He was a leader of principle respected by many and a role model for the young people inside and outside of Gerakan. May God bless his family and give them strength."
Meanwhile, Gerakan president Koh Tsu Koon expressed shock and sadness over Vijayaratnam's sudden demise."We lost a committed comrade and close friend," he said in a statement.Describing Vijayaratnam as a dedicated and loyal leader of Gerakan, Koh said: "We pay tribute to a true Malaysian. Vijayaratnam frequently contributed articles to the media to articulate the party's ideology and stand on various issues of national concern."Vijayaratnam, whose father is a former DAP leader and a one-term parliamentarian for Seremban Barat, joined Gerakan in 1980.
Vijayaratnam was appointed senator in 2002 and served for two years, from 2006 to 2008, as parliament secretary of the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry.
Highest ranking non-Chinese in Gerakan
Vijayaratnam, a general practitioner based in Seremban, was the highest ranking non-Chinese leader in Gerakan.
In the party polls last month, he retained his vice-president's post by coming in second. The highest vote-getter was former Youth chief Mah Siew Keong (1,153 votes), followed by Vijayaratnam (678) and former Penang Youth chief Huan Cheng Guan (568).Highly-fancied Malay candidate Dr Asharuddin Ahmad (537) failed to make the cut.Party observers said that Vijayaratnam was able to win the post twice because he was known as the president's manVijayaratnam was chairperson of the party's International Affairs & Ethnic Relations Bureau and head of Gerakan branch in Sungai Ujong, Negri Sembilan.
He was also a member of the National Economic Consultative Council, a fellow of the Royal Society of Health in London, and an honorary fellow of the Indian College of General Practitioners in New Delhi, India.
MIC president S Samy Vellu remembered Vijayaratnam as a "mild-mannered, easy-going and well-respected" person.
"I am deeply shocked and saddened by his demise," he said in a statement.
"Gerakan has lost a capable leader. He served the government well. I knew him very well and he worked closely with MIC. It's a great loss to us too.
"I wish to extend my condolence to his wife and children," he added.
In another reaction, Selangor executive councillor Elizabeth Wong, who is from PKR, also expressed her condolences to Vijayaratnam's family and Gerakan.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Vijayaratnam from 2005, when he was a member of the Malaysian Parliamentary Caucus for Democracy in Myanmar, and later in the Asean Inter-Parliamentary Caucus for Democracy in Myanmar (AIPMC)."Dr Vijayaratnam's and his party's steadfast support to see democracy restored in Myanmar was instrumental in propelling the Malaysian government's position to be more vocal on this issue," she said.

Najib wins Umno president uncontested

Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today won the Umno president post uncontested by virtue of being the only candidate having the necessary nominations from the party divisions to qualify for the election.
MCPXHe picked up his 134th nomination from the 191 Umno divisions this afternoon, ensuring that rival candidate Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah will not be able to get the 58 required to qualify for the contest.Razaleigh has only got one nomination so far after two-thirds of the divisions have met to make their nominations for key posts in the March party elections.The former party vice-president's sole nomination came yesterday from his own Gua Musang (Kelantan) division.Najib's 134th nomination came at 5.15pm from the Umno Batu Kawan (Penang) division.As at 8pm, Najib has garnered another four nominations giving him a total of 138 nominations.
Ali needs 7 more, Isa makes it to VP contest
Meanwhile, Melaka mentri besar Mohd Ali Rustam is one step closer to winning the right to contest against frontrunner Muhyiddin Yassin for deputy president.
Mohd Ali has 32 nominations so far and he needs another seven more to qualify for the contest, while Muhyiddin has notched up 78 nominations.Muhammad Muhd Taib, another candidate for the No 2 post, has 28 nominations. Like Mohd Ali, he needs 39 nominations to qualify.As for the three vice-president posts, Isa Samad has today joined five others in qualifying for the election.Isa has 21 nominations in the bag - one more than the 20 nominations needed to qualify.The five who have made it earlier are Hishammuddin Hussein (109 nominations), Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (79), Khaled Nordin (60), Shafie Apdal (57), and Syed Hamid Albar (24).Yet to qualify are Jamaluddin Jarjis (17), Rais Yatim (16), Abdul Rahim Tamby Chik (10), Shahidan Kassim (6), Mohamad Hassan (3), Musa Aman (2), Mohd Ali Rustam (1), Annuar Musa (1), Mohd Afifuddin Omar (1) and Halimah Sadique (1).Mukhriz Mahathir continues to lead in the nomination race for Umno Youth chief with 71 nominations. He is followed by Dr Mohd Khir Toyo (56) and Khairy Jamaluddin (51).
Umno divisions have up to Nov 9 to complete their meetings but an extension could be given to those which ask for more time. Division meetings are mostly held over the weekends.

Why we should invest in downturn market ?

In the wake of the turbulence of stock markets in recent months, unit trustinvestors may be tempted to either sell or buy. However, investors are advised toremain calm and practise dollar cost averaging with their long-term goals in view.When regional and global markets succumbed to panic selling in August 2007 and morerecently in January 2008, the severity and sharpness of the correction was largeenough to make unit trust investors ask themselves whether they should redeem now tostem further losses or buy more units at currently low prices. In fact, if theypractise dollar cost averaging, they need not concern themselves with these timingissues. Dollar cost averaging enables investors to automatically buy more units whenprices fall and fewer units when prices rise.It is especially during times of market volatility that individual investors shouldremain focused on their long-term investment goals and keep their emotions frominfluencing their investment decisions. A disciplined and methodical approach toinvesting is the key to long-term investment success.Unit trust investors are advised to buy and hold their investments for the medium tolong term. The buy-and-hold principle is based on the notion that a good investmentwill generate reasonably attractive returns over the medium to long term. This alsomeans that investors are able to distinguish between daily movements in the marketand the underlying long-term value of their investments. Professional fund managersbuy and hold for the medium to long term as they are prepared to wait patiently overseveral years for their investments to reach their intrinsic or fair values. For theunit trust investor, the 'buy-and-hold' strategy can also be applied by holding onto a well-selected unit trust fund over a period of at least three years.There are some investors who believe they can achieve superior returns by timing thepurchase and redemption of equity funds to profit from the stockmarket's short-termmovements. These investors are tempted to engage in timing the market especially inan environment where equity markets are volatile. Such investors who wish to makequick gains in the stock market by switching from one fund into another fund willoften be disappointed. Market timing strategies that are often recommended by'investment experts' have seldom been successful. This is because stock markets areinherently volatile and are impossible to predict with numerous factors, bothdomestic and foreign, affecting daily and weekly fluctuations in stock prices.Investors who wish to take a more active approach with their investments by timingthe market will expose themselves to many risks. In order to profit from themarket's short-term trends, the investor has to correctly predict the market's trendand its turning points.Without the appropriate skills to discern signals and time the entries and exits,the market timer may not only miss opportunities, but also potentially suffer theblow of rapid losses. Also with a higher frequency of fund switching, investors willhave to incur increased transaction costs.Investors who are concerned about market volatility are advised to practise dollarcost averaging as this strategy enables investors to focus on the long-terminvestment goal and not worry about the prevailing level of the market. Dollar costaveraging is simply investing a fixed amount of money in a financial asset (such asa unit trust fund) on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, biannual) regardless ofthe market cycle. By investing a fixed amount on a regular basis, investors will buymore units when the market is lower and fewer units when the market is higher. Thisstrategy will produce a lower average cost of investment than the average marketprice over any given period.In addition, investors are also advised to rebalance their portfolios regularly atleast once a year to ensure that their portfolio allocation reflects theirinvestment objectives and risk profile. Thus if, as a result of an uptrend in stockprices, an investor's equity exposure has exceeded a level consistent with his risktolerance, he can trim a portion of the equity funds and switch into bond or moneymarket funds to rebalance the asset allocation accordingly. Maintaining a targetasset allocation reduces the risk that the portfolio becomes too concentrated in asingle asset class.In conclusion, unit trust investors should always focus on achieving their medium tolong-term investment goals. The practice of dollar cost averaging and regularportfolio rebalancing are effective tools that help investors remain focused on thelong term horizon and prevent them from over-reacting to short-term movements of thestockmarket.

O2 HDA IIS
Previous this PDA phone is selling as RM3599! Now, selling as RM688 only!
You may consider to get it as a collection item too~ Don't miss it!

The XDA IIs comes close to being the ultimate wireless handheld, featuring quad-band GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), Class 8 and 10 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), WiFi and Bluetooth.

However, what sets the XDA IIs apart from its rivals is that it features a cool slide-out thumb-keyboard. And that’s not all that this handheld has going for it.

The hardware
This is one mean-looking machine it is dressed all in black and looks like a refined version of the original XDA II.

At a glance, it doesn’t look like much has changed with the design but that’s where you’d be wrong. Slide the screen upwards and you will find a full QWERTY thumb-keyboard.

What is impressive is that O2 has managed to integrate the keyboard without making its handheld thicker than most other Pocket PCs.

The XDA IIs retains the “Hang up,” “Call,” “Contacts” and “Calendar” buttons of its predecessor, but has three more buttons – providing shortcuts to the Today screen, messaging application, and Internet Explorer – and a fourth which is a dedicated “OK” button to make it easier to navigate the menus with one hand.

Its battery pack is removable and now has a capacity of 1,490mAh, which is a bump-up from the 1,200mAh capacity of the XDA II unit – a 25% increase.

The processor is still an Intel PXA263 XScale, running at 400MHz, but the ROM has been upgraded to 96MB of usable space for storage.

As far as RAM goes, the XDA IIs has 128MB, which is a good thing since there are a lot of services and applications that run in the background when you first fire up the handheld.

MEDIA WANTS FREEDOM

He the minister don't know everything....!!!!


The soon-to-be established National Media Council will to ensure the local media is more transparent and responsible and will not restrict press freedom, said Information Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek today.
MCPXAhmad Shabery, according to a Bernama report, said the media council was a better was to run the media and that many countries had their own press commissions or media councils."Some countries like the United Kingdom have press complaint commissions where people dissatisfied because they had been defamed or put in a bad light can seek remedy," he told reporters at Angkasapuri where he attended after his ministry's Aidilfitri open house.He was responding to questions on an announcement by Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar on Monday that the council would be established soon to identify existing weaknesses to ensure better accuracy in reporting.Ahmad Shabery also said that the new council will help end the common perception that complaints on the government were being addressed very slowly.He added that his ministry will be holding discussions with stakeholders to identify existing weaknesses so that appropriate remedial action could be taken."This is a serious matter as it concerns how the Fourth Estate can be better supervised so that it is more transparent and responsible."When we say more responsible, we do not want to see only the agenda of certain groups being pushed forward and not the interests of all Malaysians," he said.He also said that models in countries like Australia and Britain would be studied before the matter was finalised.Don't publish liesThe minister also reminded bloggers and Internet media practitioners to remain responsible. He however said that the numbers of these people abusing the medium was small."They (bloggers and Internet media practitioners) must also be more responsible and not publish lies and falsehoods. Also in the context of multiracial harmony, it is important to know when to exercise restraint," he said.He said the overriding concern in having the council was to preserve the peace and national harmony."It is all about maintaining a balance. There cannot be absolute freedom neither can there be too much restrictions," he added.

Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- OPEC, founded five decades ago to unify oil producers, risks dividing members as the group plans to cut output and raise prices just as developed nations face their worst recession since 1983.
Iran's energy minister, Gholamhossein Nozari, said yesterday OPEC may slash output quotas by 2.5 million barrels a day, or 8.7 percent, an amount about equal to what's pumped from Kuwait. The Algerian minister and OPEC president, Chakib Khelil, said two days earlier the reduction at the group's Oct. 24 meeting in Vienna may be only 1 million barrels.
The debate in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries pits Saudi Arabia, the group's biggest producer and a U.S. ally, against Venezuela and Iran, two nations that oppose U.S. foreign policy and advocate higher oil costs. Crude has plunged 53 percent from its July 11 record of $147.27 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It traded at $69.37 today.
``The divisions arise in OPEC because what countries need and want varies,'' said Gareth Lewis-Davies, an oil analyst at Dresdner Kleinwort Group Ltd. in London. ``The Saudis are playing a long-term political game. Other countries have higher costs.''
Saudi Arabia needs oil prices of less than $30 a barrel to balance its government budget, according to Merrill Lynch & Co. estimates. The United Arab Emirates requires $40 a barrel and Qatar $55.

Below $50
Oil options trading shows the probability that crude will fall below $50 a barrel by June has more than doubled in 10 days, Deutsche Bank AG said in an Oct. 17 report. There is a 9 percent likelihood that June 2009 crude oil contracts will expire below $50, up from 4 percent, Deutsche said.
The world's industrialized economies will expand next year at the slowest pace since 1982, the International Monetary Fund said Oct. 8. Growth will weaken to 0.5 percent in 2009, from 1.5 percent this year, sending U.S. unemployment to its highest level in 16 years, the agency said.
Oil demand may fall for the first time in 15 years this year as the worst financial crisis in decades tips economies into recession, according to the Centre for Global Energy Studies, a London-based consulting company.

OPEC members are worried that they will be slow to react and oil prices will drop to $50 or $40 a barrel,'' said Rick Mueller, director of oil markets at Energy Security Analysis Inc. in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

NEWS "CJ"

The Dewan Rakyat was informed today that an emergency motion to debate the proposed appointment of Zaki Azmi as the new chief justice was rejected on the grounds that such a motion breached provisions against discussing the behavior or character of senior judges.
MCPXDeputy Speaker Wan Junaidi Tuaku Jaafar (left) said the motion, submitted by Salahuddin Ayub (PAS-Kubang Kerian) last week, was rejected in Chambers as both 36(8) of the Standing Orders and Article 127 of the Federal Constitution forbids the legislature from discussing the conduct or character of High Court, Court of Appeal or Federal Court judges.The only way such a motion can succeed in being tabled is as a substantive motion and must have the support of no less than one-quarters of the total number of members of Parliament, he said.Wan Junaidi also cited the book 'Document of Destiny' written by constitutional expert Shad Saleem Faruqi on the Federal Constitution to support his stand on the insulation and immunity of judges from “politically-inspired criticisms.”Zaki (left) is currently Court of Appeal president and was nominated by the Conference of Rulers last week as the country’s top judge to replace Abdul Hamid Mohamad.His rise up the judicial ranks from a corporate lawyer after being appointed by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s administration over a score of more senior judges met with outcry from several quarters due to his affiliations with Umno, including having been its legal advisor.Supporting the call for the motion to be debated, independent MP (Pasir Mas) Ibrahim Ali said this is preferable to the government letting it spread on the Internet as public fodder for its detractors and thereby become a liability.“If it is rejected in chambers and the motion spreads outside (this Dewan), it will have negative results (for the government),” said the MP.'Tendency to reject'Ibrahim also expressed disappointment with what he described as the ‘tendency’ of the speaker and deputy speakers - unlike their predecessors - to reject in Chambers motions submitted to them.“It is disappointing, like losing a girlfriend. I am trying to help this Dewan ... I myself in previous parliamentary sittings have lost motivation (due to the rejection of many motions),” he said.Chipping in, veteran politician Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) said tabling the motion under Standing Order 27 as a substantive one would relegate it to the bottom of Parliament orders of the day and ensure it is not discussed at all.“It would go to the bottom of the list and up to the last day will not see the light of day,” he said.Responding to Ibrahim’s contention that most motions have been rejected in Chambers, the deputy speaker said he would discuss the matter with Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia.However, Wan Junaidi was adamant on the issue of Zaki being a no-go area for the time being.“When it has to do with (Standing Order) 36(8), there can be no compromise because it ties in with the Federal Constitution and the Standing Orders... The issue of (it being a matter of) Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat politics does not rise in this matter,” he said.During a press conference later, Salahuddin said he would raise the Zaki matter in his debate speech on the 2009 Budget.

Block and Pastrana wrap up Rally America Championship

Victory on this weekend’s Lake Superior Performance Rally for P-WRC driver Ken Block and a podium for Travis Pastrana secured the Subaru Rally Team USA duo first and second place in the 2008 Rally America National Championship.
The event was the 9th and final round of the American Championship and covered 197 miles of special stages along the northern tip of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino started the rally locked in a battle for second overall in the championship with young privateer Subaru driver Kyle Sarasin and Canadian driver Andrew Comrie-Picard.
Block's 2008 domestic season has been one of ups and downs; after a strong start with multiple wins he later experienced a string of poor results and misfortune which helped Pastrana take control of the series. On the Lake Superior rally, however, Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino returned to form and were virtually untouchable in their Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Block took the lead on the first stage and went on to win 11 of 17 stages and finish with a lead of more than one minute. The result concluded a successful domestic season for Block and Pastrana who between them won six of the nine events.
"I'm glad to end the season with the win. Now I've got some momentum going into next year, so I'm very happy," said Block. "It's great for the team to finish 1-2 in the Championship, and we have proven the new 2008 STI can win, next year it will only get better."
After mathematically securing the championship at the previous round in Colorado, Pastrana entered the rally with little pressure to win. So to further his development he requested American rally legend John Buffum co-drive for him at this final Rally America round. Buffum is the most successful American rally driver of all time, with 11 championship titles to his name and over 120 rally wins.
Starting 3rd on the road, the duo was slowed by heavy dust as well as a puncture early in the event. Pastrana settled for third overall while Block and Sarasin continued to push each other for the overall victory.
"I had the pleasure of teaming up with rally legend John Buffum. I think he has forgotten more about rally than I will ever know! It was amazing just having him in the car," explained Pastrana. "Although we weren't fighting for the win, it's impossible to not have fun on these Michigan roads."
After finishing 13th in the P-WRC competition on his last WRC outing in New Zealand, Block will be back in his Impreza on the forthcoming Rally Japan.

Khalid: Bad past has cost Selangor RM30 billion

Selangor’s Pakatan Rakyat government alleged that the state could have made up to RM30 billion ringgit in revenue - if not for corruption under the previous Barisan Nasional (BN) administration.
MCPX
Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim, tabling his budget speech in the state legislature this morning, claimed that the losses were due to “dishonesty, irresponsibility and the lack of transparency” when BN ran the state.

“One example is the release of state land free of charge or with a trade-off, instead of directly developing the land which would have been more profitable,” he said.

State welfare, according to Khalid, was never a priority for his predecessor Dr Mohd Khir Toyo (right), while the ‘zero-squatters’ policy was not about housing development for the poor but to “enrich” some groups.

“The real motive behind the zero-squatter policy was to clear the land to be given to private companies through land development joint-venture enterprise,” he said.

Khalid added that these contracts were given to private companies directly without going through an open tender process, thereby benefitting companies that were incapable of implementing the projects.

“(Contrary to what Umno claims) these policies do not provide business opportunities to the Malays,” he added.

Although Selangor was awarded developed state status in 2005, Khalid said cannot be attributed to the previous government’s policies.

“The development was influenced by regional market trends that encouraged foreign investors like Intel, Motorola, Sony and Matsushita to invest in the state.”

Khalid claimed that the lack of transparency in the distribution of contracts has led to the ballooning of infrastructure costs - roads and public buildings - in the state.

Eye on GLC heads

Chief executive officers of government-linked companies (GLCs) involved in the joint-venture projects also be held accountable for this, he said, and not just Mohd Khir.

“Since we assumed power, the CEOs of these GLCs - when asked to clarify - could not rationalise their decisions which are lopsided against the state. Without shame, they placed the blame on the former MB,” he said.

Khalid was referring to Permodalan Negeri Selangor Bhd, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor and Perbadanan Kemajuan Pertanian Selangor.

Despite this the CEOs have been allowed to keep their jobs for several reasons.

“We want them to redeem their mistakes and recover the money they lost due to corruption. We will sack them if they cannot do so and we’ll take further action (as well),” he said.

Efforts to clean up the administration are underway, but there are some aspects that require more attention.

“For example I have received complaints that people in the previous government are still seated in tender panels and continue to abuse their position,” he added.

“We will deal with this by directing tender panels in local councils to practise an open tender system that is open to all members of the public.”
