How much a Tenaga Chairman costs

More than RM1 million per year.

SAPP , the cili api with a massive knocking effect.

I hate it when mainstream media try to engage in character assasination. NST is the main culprit still, with headlines like "Double crosser" and stories of disloyalty abounds. Teck Lee of SAPP is then characterized as a person who is greedy, with the Prime Minister stating that the greediness comes from Teck Lee not contented with his offer of senatorship and some-lousy-what-is-it-about-ship. So, a person is greedy if he wants to grab on to a position? Then what about say, the post of a prime minister? Or a cabinet minister, along with a RM18K travel allowance monthly? Perhaps all senators are greedy then when they accept their job. Surely not. That brings us to the next level : Are they anything else offered to Teck Lee? Would that not be bribery?

And if all these 'things' offered and Teck Lee still goes on to decline and make his infamous declaration, would that be greed or plain stupidity? Many of us think that he is stupid and time will tell. I believe that he has come to a point where he knows what really matters and makes a point. This is brave, considering that no other politicians ( especially from Sabah) backs up their vitriolics with actions. Certainly, the issues concerning Sabah and Sarawak should not be swept under the table. Mismanagement in Semenanjung have cost us an estimated RM100 billion in wastage and certaintly it is affecting Sabahans and Sarawakians too.


KOTA KINABALU: Presiden Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP), Datuk Yong Teck Lee hari ini mengakui menerima surat tawaran jawatan Senator dan Wakil Khas berkaitan Kawasan Pertumbuhan Asean Timur Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Filipina (BIMPEAGA).Bagaimanapun, bekas Ketua Menteri Sabah itu menganggap tawaran itu sebagai "sogokan politik" supaya tidak terus menyuarakan isu-isu mengenai Sabah.Yong berkata, beliau menerima tawaran itu melalui "surat rahsia" daripada Bahagian Kabinet Jabatan Perdana Menteri pada 17 Jun lepas iaitu sehari sebelum Yong mengiystiharkan parti itu telah hilang kepercayaan terhadap kepimpinan Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan akan mengemukakan usul undi tidak percaya apabila Dewan Rakyat bersidang minggu depan."Sebenarnya tawaran jawatan Senator and wakil khas BIMPEAGA disampaikan kepada saya melalui Ketua Menteri Sabah. Dia (Ketua Menteri) kata kalau saya setuju, Perdana Menteri akan umum."Saya kata kalau umum saya tolak juga... jadi tidak manis, bagus jangan," katanya kepada pemberita di sini hari ini.Yong berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas kenyataan Perdana Menteri semalam bahawa beliau telah menawarkan jawatan Senator dan Wakil Khas ke BIMPEAGA itu kepada Presiden SAPP.Abdullah berkata memandangkan Yong tidak bertanding pada pilihan raya umum 8 Mac lepas kerana tiada lagi peruntukan kerusi untuk parti itu, maka beliau telah memutuskan untuk menawarkan Yong jawatan anggota Dewan Negara.Mengenai kandungan surat daripada JPM itu, Yong berkata, beliau tidak boleh mengumumkannya sebelum ini kerana ia adalah surat rahsia tapi "Perdana Menteri sudahpun bercakap perkara itu"."Apabila saya dapat surat ini secara normal, saya cakap dengan Ketua Menteri, kalau pada masa kini kamu menawarkan jawatan, saya kata "adakah ini ditawarkan untuk tutup mulut?" katanya.Yong berkata, beliau juga tidak pasti sama ada tawaran itu tergolong sebagai satu amalan rasuah.Ditanya sama ada beliau akan membuat laporan kepada Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR) mengenai perkara itu, Yong berkata, beliau tidak bercadang untuk berbuat demikian."Tiada apa yang peribadi di sini tetapi saya hairan kalau dia (Perdana Menteri) cakap pasal personal greed (ketamakan dirinya)... saya tak pernah pun minta sama Perdana Menteri perkaraperkara peribadi."Cadangan senator ini daripada Ketua Menteri, saya kata baguslah... jangan kerana ini akan dianggap sebagai tutup mulut... jadi tidak betul saya ada personal greed."Saya kata kalau adapun, biarlah pemimpin SAPP lain yang layak (diberi tawaran itu). Waktu ada perjumpaan di Kuala Lumpur pada 13 Mei pun, Perdana Menteri ada cakap "kami mempunyai tugas untuk anda"... jadi saya dengar itu mungkin satu umpan, itu sebabnya saya tidak beri maklum balas," katanya.

Cheras saga continues - toll operator vows to rebuild wall
May 26, 08 6:37pm
Toll operator Grand Saga has today vowed to rebuild the concrete barricade to block a toll-free access road to the Cheras-Kajang Highway in Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC).
MCPX
Notice is hereby given that the company will be constructing the barricade this week,” said Grand Saga’s executive director Zainal Abidin Ali in a terse press statement.Zainal Abidin, who is former Dang Wangi police chief, said that Grand Saga had constructed the barricade in 2005 “to prevent unlawful access” to the highway through the access road from BMC.
In April 21, the original barricade was demolished by the outraged residents with the help from BMC developer Narajaya.However, an attempt to rebuild the three-feet high wall by Grand Saga - for the third time - on the night of May 8 was abandoned after volleys of tear gas were fired at an angry crowd.Residents have accused the riot police of siding with Grand Saga in the dispute. Four days later, the residents failed to get the High Court to restrain the toll operator from re-erecting the barricade.Zainal Abidin (right) said the court, in throwing out the injunction, had noted that Grand Saga has the right to build a barricade “within its indisputable concession area”.“Members of the public are advised to respect the decision of the court,” he warned.The new Selangor government has however argued the area where the barricade was built on was part of state land and questioned Grand Saga’s right in erecting the barrier.

'My message to the police is - UMNO, and their toll operator and fellow corporate friends, do not pay your salaries'. In my former post, the writer wants to know why our police acted without restraint against the residences. What is the motivation that the Royal Malaysian police were seemed defending corporate interests than rights of citizens.

If the executive director of the said company was a former police chief, would that be a satisfactory explaination? In business world, it could fall into a RPT ( related party transaction).

I want to cry.....

Image from Jo's Blog (http://joooanne.blogspot.com/2007/06/pinafores-or-baju-kurung.html) who give a quite a candid analysis between pinnafore and baju kurung. Men, are you excited yet looking at this picture? Sicko..


2 sad news today that should be read next to each other. And mind you, these are taken from international news agency.

1.School uniform sexy, says group

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.
“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.
“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.
In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.
They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.
Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”
“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.
“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.
However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men.
“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.
“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.” – AFP


2.M'sian tourism rep in Taipei nabbed for molesting womanTAIPEI (May 22, 2008):
A Malaysian tourism promotion representative was arrested for sexually molesting a female shop assistant.
Ahmad Junaidy Yahya, deputy director of the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board's representative office in Taiwan, was detained Tuesday (May 20) evening at the Asia World Shopping Mall in Taipei, the Liberty Times reported today.
Smelling of alcohol after attending a dinner party, Junaidy went to the Asia World Shopping Mall and tried to chat up a shop assistant. He groped the woman's back and private parts.
When the alleged victim screamed, Junaidy tried to flee but was stopped by shopping mall security guards.
Police took Junaidy to the police station for questioning, according to the Liberty Times. He was released yesterday morning after he apologised to the victim and asked for a private settlement.
The victim agreed to Junaidy's release but reserved the right to press charges of sexual harassment.
Junaidy, an employee of the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB), was dispatched in 2005 to Taipei. He is currently deputy director of the MTPB's representative office in Taipei, which is in charge of promoting Malaysia to Taiwan tourists.
Janice Lai Seh-chen, director of Taiwan Tourism Bureau, said the incident was Junaidy's personal matter and would not affect tourism ties between Taiwan and Malaysia, the Liberty Times reported. - dpa

In summary, i think both are sicko. One thinks that men cannot control their lust when they meet underage schoolgirls in their uniforms. We think that this Junirah ( not sure the gender identity) watch waaaaaaay too much of those Japanese schoolgirls porn and think it is real. Also, women & specifically their dressing is NOT the reason if they are raped or molested. It is classical conditioning and if you are conditioned to be lusty when you see bits of flesh, that is the trigger. And this Junaidi director chap ( both names start with Ju) confirms this premise.

I wonder what is our Tourism's Minister's ( Azalina Othman's) response? How personal can he be when he represent our Malaysia and paid by my tax money to drink and grope?
