Speech By DAP Secretary-General And Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng During The DAP Special Conference For 38 MPs And 107 State Assemblymen In Kuala Lumpur On 11.5.2013.
Only polls reform that respects “one-man,one-vote, onve-value” principle can save malaysian democracy, integrity, freedom of choice, equal opportunity, social welfare and justice for all. The 13th general elections is historic in that this is the first time that BN lost the popular vote and that an opposition coalition of PR won a clear majority of popular vote of 50.9% over BN’s 47.4%(the rest spoilt votes and independent).
BN had received 51.4% of the popular vote in the 2008 general elections, dropeed 4% to only 47.4% in 2013 general elections. In contrast, PR recorded 47.6% in 2008 general elections and recorded an increase of 3.2% in popular voe to 50.9% in 2013. However the gerrymandering of constituencies that made a mockery of the essential representative democractic principle of “one-man, one-vote, one-value” by BN during the past 56 years, allowed BN to win power despite losing the popular vote.
How can PR that won 50.9% of the popular vote received only 40% of the seats? PR won an additional 7 seats from 82 to 89, not even coming lose to 110 out of the 222 seat Parliament.
This travesty of justice and fairplay is most prevalent in states like Perak where PR increased its popular votes by 1.4% to 54.7% and yet lost power to BN. In 2008 general elections, PR won power in Perak despite winning only 53.3 % of the popular vote.
In desperation to avoid answering why BN has a minority Prime Minister and address how BN won power despite decisively losing the popular vote, BN, especially UMNO and the discredited MCA President Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek, has instead chosen to racialise the results by describing the results as a Chinese tsunami and asking “Apa Cina lagi mau?”.
This is most irresponsible because this was not a Chinese tsunami but a Malaysian tsunami. If there was any divide, it was not a racial divide but an urban-rural divide because PR won most of the urban seats in Malaysia. PR jsut can not win 51% of the popular vote by relying only on Chinese votes, who form only 25% of the population.
By asking the provocative question, “Apa Cina lagi mau?”, UMNO and MCA ignores that the Chinese wants what all other Malaysians want. No corruption, no cronyism, no nepotism and an end to abuse of power. A people-centric government government that listens to the people, does the people’s work and gives hope to the people. A government that prepares the future for the young and not steal the future from the young. The young will not allow BN to steal their future the same way that BN has stolen the future from their parents.
BN can not ignore the voice and votes of 51% of Malaysians. DAP wishes to pay tribute to all who came back to vote from overseas, spent long hours lining up to vote and were determined to spare no expense to realize their aspirations for change. DAP highlights 3 groups deserve special mention.
One the first time voters, some in their 60s who had never bothered to vote in their lives. Two the young who registered the highest voting turnout in Malaysian history witnessed by long lines in the last polling stream. Thirdly the women, who turned out in record numbers not just in polling stations but in ceramah donating generously, shouting out their support and shedding their tears to support the cry of “Ubah!”
DAP recorded its best performance in history by not just winning 38 parliamentary and 107 state seats, but also had elected representatives from all races – Malays, Chinese, Indians and our first Kadazan wakil rakyat. We are also proud to have our first female Indian MP and Assemblyperson. Whilst we celebrate, let us get down to the work we need to do for the people.
The people needs polls reforms now that reflect the sentiments and will of the voters. This is our immediate task but not the only one. Other issues of national importance requires attention.
Alternative government
As Pakatan Rakyat obtains more popular vote nationally than Barisan Nasional, DAP and Pakatan Rakyat need to move beyond our role as opposition at the federal level and in states which we have yet to win power. The public places huge hope on us and we must not disappoint them.
Our posture is that of an alternative government-in-waiting and not merely an opposition party.
Pakatan Rakyat – We are committed to make Pakatan Rakyat a viable choice as the government-in-waiting at the federal level and in states which we have yet to win power while ensuring that the states which we are governing perform well. We are prepared to step up the effort to register Pakatan Rakyat as a single entity and act as one.
Cooperation among Pakatan component parties is very well established at national level and most state with common manifesto, joint alternative budgets and regular national and state leadership council meetings, operated by various joint secretariats. We must now take the Pakatan model to the local level so that we move as Pakatan at local level.
Middle Malaysia – We must step up our effort to build trust across ethnic boundaries and to move beyond existing support base to reach out to the Middle Malaysia in a deeper and more meaningful way. A lot more efforts need to go into making DAP the choice party for all Malaysians including the Malays and Bumiputra of Sabah and Sarawak.
In our engagements with Malaysians, we must never adopt the BN model of delegating engagement along racial line. There must not be “racial outsourcing” of engagement work. All DAP elected reps are required to engage with Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans and all other fellow Malaysians.
The DAP reiterates that it is a party for all and not anti-Malay, anti-Bumiputra or anti-Islam. Indeed, the DAP is the most multi-ethnic of all parties in Malaysia with elected reps from among Malays, Indians, Kadazan and Chinese, and candidates from among Dayaks.
The DAP also has the averagely youngest delegation of elected reps among all parties, and the highest proportion of women among candidates. These are our strengths that we must continue to build upon in order to be the choice party of all Malaysians.
Building community
Make no mistake, the performance of our elected reps are key to re-election in the next term. We need all our reps to be at the forefront engaging the community and assisting them whenever help is needed.
But I want to introduce a new concept. While MCA, Gerakan and MIC provides “services”, we build community. The so-called “services” provided by the BN component parties are usually ad hoc work concealing the systemic failure of governments at all levels especially that of local government.
While we continue to help the people whenever they are faced with bureaucratic red tapes, we must move beyond just providing reactive solutions.
Beyond being reactive is to be proactive in building community. This election unleashes huge energy from the general public in things politics. We must now build on the massive participation of the people in the election processes and channel the great people’s movement into improving the public wellbeing, especially in states which we are not government.
We shall call our new centres “community centres” instead of merely “service centres”. It is where we want to engage with as many Malaysians as possible and provide them a platform to collaborate with other people to improve the conditions of their neighborhood and community.
GE13 sparks a political movement among the people. Huge number of Malaysians came to our rescue in becoming polling and counting agents, donating, and turning up at ceramahs during election. If properly communicated, we believe that they would be willing to take part in planting trees, gotong-royong, helping the poor and other community efforts.
The roles of our elected reps is not merely to provide “reactive services” as defined by BN component parties. We are here to build a community. We are nation builders.
Post-GE13, we build a civic volunteer movement to make our community a better place. With enhanced civic consciousness and community building effort, we move into GE14 with the community and not just as political parties.
In states where we form governments, we must continue to listen to the people and to perform, to lead and to be bold in repairing and reforming failed institutions.
Political education and think tank
We must now prepare ourselves intellectually to govern better than Barisan Nasional with fresh ideas or provide better ideas even from the opposition’s benches.
Barisan Nasional is bankrupt of new ideas. We must build a movement of new ideas. We must go beyond old paradigms and be prepared to explore and adopt new ones.
As alternative governments, we must start engaging all levels and all sections of the nation. Listen and learn from them what would be the best way forward for Malaysia in all policy areas.
This is particularly important for states which we aspire to win power in the next election. We must inspire confidence among the people that we are ready to govern, that we are not a clone of Barisan Nasional but represents a compellingly fresh break from the dark past.
All these require long term effort to build a team of leaders who are knowledgeable about governance issues and able to articulate them in a convincing manners. The party at all levels must strengthen political education and think tank work to prepare for that.
Communication
However good an elected rep is, without communicating effectively his or her ideas and showcasing his or her performance, it is unlikely that the people would know.
It is important that we communicate effectively as reps and as a party, and hopefully as a coalition. The reasons why Penang, Selangor and Kelantan survive the onslaught of Barisan Nasional’s ferocious attacks in GE13 is in no small way thanks to the communication channels in these states. The Kelantan government has a strong peer-to-peer communication mechanism while Penang and Selangor built strong state communication channels to counter lies from Barisan Nasional’s media.
I don’t expect the media environment to improve under Najib’s second term. But while we protest against unfair media treatment, we must not stop short at that. We must build our channels to reach out to the wider audience through our online media, printed materials and face-to-face engagements. For instance, I expect the free Bahasa Rocket papers to be distributed on a regular basis to all voters in the seats we have elected reps.
Defending The Rakyat
Whilst UMNO retaliates for their loss in the general elections, especially the failure to gain a 2/3 parliamentary majority, by blaming the Chinese, MCA and Gerakan throws childish tantrums by closing down their service centers. The people will no longer be subjected to such threats. MCA and Gerakan might as well close shop and not just their service centers.
DAP leaders and members must step up by replacing BN whether it is MCA or Gerakan, in serving the rakyat where MCA or Gerakan have abandoned the rakyat.
MCA and Gerakan grossly underestimated the people’s yearning for change if they think closing down service centers or their offices in retaliation for losing the general elections can frighten the voters. DAP did not close down our offices or service centers when we lost in every general election from 1966 to 2008 but continued our struggle for the people.
All this is done when UMNO is demonizing both DAP and the Chinese community for daring to oppose and vote against BN. Malaysians are no longer stupid and will not allow BN to racialize national issues.
Instead every matter should be discussed and decided on merits that is not race-based but needs based. This is the new paradigm shift of this general elections that the people are sick and tired of race-based and extremist politics as well as a clear preference for people-centric policies that makes a difference to the lives of ordinary Malaysians.
Let us prove that the power of the people is more powerful than those people in power!

民主行动党秘书长兼槟州首席部长林冠英于2013年5月11日在吉隆坡38个国会议员及107名州议会特别大会上发表演讲：
唯有将“一人、一票、一价”原则纳入选举改革，才能够挽救马来西亚的民主、廉正、选择自由、平等机会、社会福利及全民公义。
唯有将“一人、一票、一价”原则纳入选举改革，才能够挽救马来西亚的民主、廉正、选择自由、平等机会、社会福利及全民公义。第13届大选是历史上国阵第一次输掉多数票，只获47.4%得票率， 而反对阵营民联赢得多数票，得票率为50.9%(其余为废票及独立人士)。
2013年大选中，国阵的得票率从2008年的51.4%减少4%，为47.4%。相反地，民联在2008年大选获得47.6%的得票率，在2013年增加了3.2%达50.9%得票率。但是，过去56年国阵为己党利益擅改选区的做法，已经成为“一人、一票、一价”民主原则的笑柄，这让国阵虽然失去多数票却还保住政权。
为什么民联赢得50.9%的得票率，却只获得40%的议席？民联赢多7个议席，国会议席从82个增加至89个，却赢不到222年国会议席中的110个议席。
这是不公义及不公平的，最明显的就是霹雳州，民联的得票率增加1.4%至54.7%，却还是输了政权。2008年，民联得票率为53.3%，却成为霹雳州政府。
国阵不但不回应“为何国阵有一个少数票首相？国阵为何输了多数票却还可以掌权？”这些问题，相反地，国阵特别是巫统及不信任的马华总会长拿督蔡细历还选择种族化大选成绩，形容大选成绩为“华人海啸”，还问“华人到底还要什么？”
这是不负责任的，因为这不是华人海啸，而是马来西亚人海啸。如果真有分裂，那绝不是种族分裂，而是城乡分裂，因为民联赢得多数的城区议席。民联不可能只凭华人票赢得51%的多数票，毕竟华人只占全国人口25%。
国阵去问“华人到底还要什么？”这种问题，巫统和马华忽视了华人所要的也是全体马来西亚人所要的，那就是无贪污、无朋党、无裙带及终结滥权。一个民本政府必须听人民的话、做人民的工作、给人民希望。一个政府必须为下一代的未来做准备，而不是窃取年轻一代的未来。年轻一代绝不会允许国阵再继续窃取他们的未来，就像国阵已经窃取他们父母的过去。
国阵不能对51%马来西亚人的声音及选票视而不见。行动党在此感激那些特地千里迢迢从国外回来投票的选民、排长龙投票的选民、他们意志坚决来实现改朝换代的梦想。我们要在此特别关注三个投票组群：
第一是首投族，他们当中有些已经60多岁，一辈子没有投过票。第二、是年轻选民，他们促成了马来西亚历史上最高投票率，从投票站排长龙可以看出。第三、妇女，他们不只踊跃投票，也踊跃出席演讲大会、还慷慨捐款，他们大声流着泪喊出他们对“UBAH”改朝换代的支持。
行动党取得历史上最好的成绩，我们赢得38个国会议席及107年州议席，我们中选的议员来自各个种族，包括马来人、华人、印度人及我们第一个卡达山族代表。我们也感到骄傲，我们拥有第一个女性印度藉国会议员及州议员。当我们在庆祝的同时，让我们开始进行需要的工作。
人民现在就要选举改革，这样才符合选民的情绪及意志。这是我们必须立即进行的任务，但不是唯一的。其它的国家课题也需要关注。
替代政府
由于民联比国阵赢得更多多数票，行动党及民联在联邦政府以及还未赢下政权的州属方面必须扮演超越反对党的角色，人民对我们抱着很大的期望，我们绝不能让他们失望。
我们必须以下届“替代政府”的姿态出现，而不仅仅是反对党。
关于民联。我们立志让民联在联邦政府及还没执政的州属，成为人民替代政府的选择，并确保那些执政州属拥有良好的表现。我们准备让民联注册成为一个实体，并以一个实体出现。
民联各成员党在全国及各州方面合作关系良好，并且拥有联合政纲、联合替代预算案，并且定期召开全国及州级领袖理事会、由各自的联合秘书处操作。我们必须将这种民联模式扩大至地方性阶层，在地方上推动民联事务。
关于中道马来西亚。我们必须努力打造跨越种族藩篱的信任，超越基本盘，更加深入及采用有意义的方式接触中道马来西亚。我们需要更加努力，让行动党成为全民的选择，包括马来人及沙巴、砂拉越的土著。
在我们与人民接触时，我们千万不能采用国阵那种以种族分配的模式。我们不能在工作分配采用“种族外包”。所有行动党议员必须容许各族参与工作，包括马来人、华人、印度人、卡达山人、伊班人及其它马来西亚人。
行动党重申我们是一个全民政党，不是反马来人、反土著或反伊斯兰政党。事实上，行动党是马来西亚最多元种族的政党，我们中选的议员包括马来人、印度人、卡达山人及华人，我们还有达雅族候选人。
众多政党中，行动党拥有平均年龄最年轻的中选议员，也拥有最多女性候选人。这是我们的优点，我们必须继续努力，让行动党成为全民的选择。
打造社区
别行差踏错，我们中选议员的表现，将是下一届我们再次中选的关键原因。我们需要全体中选议员站在前线，召集社区人民，尽可能协助他们。
但是，我要介绍一个新的概念。当马华、民政党及国大党提供“服务”时，我们打造社区。国阵成员党所提供的“服务”通常都是回应各阶层政府失败的制度，特别是地方政府。
当人民面对官僚问题时，我们继续协助他们，我们也必须超越“应对式方案”。
在打造社区方面，我们必须超越“应对式方案”，进而更加主动积极。这场选举释放了公众在政治参与方面的巨大能量。我们必须在大量群众参与选举过程的基础上，把这种伟大的群众运动转换改善人民福利的管道，特别是那些我们还没有执政的州属。
我们将把我们的服务中心，换名成“社区中心”。这将是我们召集更多马来西亚人的地方，让他们有一个平台，与其它人合作，共同改善邻里及社区的生活条件。
第13届全国大选，在人民群众间爆起了政治运动的火花。大量的马来西亚人站出来，成为我们投票代表、监票代理、捐款及出席大选期间的政治讲座会。若我们能够良好沟通，我们相信这些人，一样愿意参与我们的植树活动、清洁运动及协助贫穷及其他需要的社会人士。
我们中选代议士的角色，并不只是像国阵成员党所定义的“应对式”服务。我们在这里是要建立一个社区。我们是国家的建设者。
第13届大选后，我们建立一个公民志愿运动，以将我们的社区打造成一个更美好的地方。随着公民意识的醒觉以及建设社区的努力，我们是与整个社区一起，而不是以政党的身份朝向第14届的全国大选。
在我们执政的州属，我们必需持续听取民意，继续表现、领导，以及大胆地修复及改革失败的机制。
政治教育与智囊
从现在起，我们必需在知识上做好准备，以比国阵管理得更好。即使是目前身为反对党，我们必需比国阵提出更好、更新鲜的想法及概念。
国阵已经黔驴技穷。我们必需建立一个新的思想运动。我们必需超越旧有的模式，并准备发掘及采纳新的模式。
作为一个替代政府，我们必需开始与国内各领域各阶层人士接触，听取他们的心声，学习什么才是对马来西亚最好的政策和方向。
在我们有望于下届赢取政权的州属尤其重要。我们必需激发人民对我们已准备执政的信任，我们必需让人民知道，我们并不是国阵的翻 版，而是走过黑暗，迈向一个让人信服、有新鲜感的突破性未来。
这需要长期的努力，我们需要塑造一组有对施政课题具有知识的领袖，以说服民众。党的各阶层必需强化政治教育及智囊，以为此作好准备。
沟通
一个再好的民选议员，若是缺乏了有效的沟通技巧，其想法及表现将难以展示出来。人民也难以知道他心中的想法。
代议士、党代表以及联盟，必需有效地涌通，这是非常重要的一环。这就是为什么在第13届全国大选，尽管面对国阵猛攻，但是槟城、雪兰莪及吉兰丹，我们却得以生存？有赖这些州属里的沟通管道。吉兰丹政府有一个强大的对等通讯机制，而槟城及雪州则建立了强大的沟通渠道，以反击国阵媒体的谎言。
在纳吉第二届的领导下，我不期待媒体生态有任何改善。但是，在我们抗议媒体不公平对待的当儿，我们不应该就此停住。我们必需建立自己的渠道，包括网络媒体、印刷品及面对面的接触，以接触更广泛的民众群。比如，我期待马来文版的《火箭报》，能够定期在行动党的议席分发给选民。
捍卫人民
正当巫统将他们无法夺取国会三分之二大多数的罪名，怪罪于华人的当儿，马华及民政却像孩子发脾气般，关闭他们的服务中心。人民将不再受到这种威胁。民政马华不如索性“关店”而不是只关闭他们的服务中心。
行动党的领袖及党员，应该设立更多服务中习，以取代国阵（不管是马华或民政）来服务人民，因为败选让马华民政抛弃为民服务的宗旨。
如果马华及民政认为，关闭服务中心就能够吓唬人民，以报复大选的败北，那他们真的严重低估了人民渴望改变的信念。民主行动党从1966年至2008年期间都是败选，但是我们从未关闭我们的办公室或服务中心，反之，我们继续为人民斗争。
在行动党及华裔选民勇敢反对国阵时， 巫统就妖魔化二者。马来西亚人不再愚笨，绝不会让国阵将国家大事种族化。
相反地，我们必须在绩效与需求的基础上讨论每一件事，而不是以种族为基础，这是这个大选的新模范转移。人们已经厌倦种族及极端政治，他们已经表现出他们更倾向于以民为本的政策、改变普通马来西亚人的生活。
让我们证明，人民的力量比掌权的人更强而有力！
林冠英
据《星洲日报》独家报道引述选委会副主席旺阿末之言，随着第13届大选结束，选委会估计将在年杪着手处理选区重新划分事宜。根据宪法，我国选区必须在8年内重划，而上次的选区划分是在2002年，并在2003年提呈国会通过，但自那以后的2011年，并无进行重划工作，这意味着我国已有整整10年没有重新划分选区了。
据旺阿末说法，选委会此次重划选区，必须确保各选区的选民人数分布均衡。我在数日前的另一则拙作谈论过选举成绩“票票不等值”的问题，具体体现为国阵得票率为47%，但赢得60%的国会席位，而民联三党得票率51%，却只能赢得40%的国会席位，其中最主要的导因，即在于各选区之间的选民人数差距过于离谱，造成政党得票率与所获议席数不成比例。
旺阿末声言重划选区必须“确保选民分布均衡”，这当然是一种基本原则，可是我国经过70年代的修宪后，宪法里再没有条文去限制选区之间的选民人数差距，选区大小再无限制；因此选委会的重划选区工作是否真能做到大幅平衡各选区的选民分布，其实并无可援以指导，或至少加以约束的实质法律规范。不过，由于重划选区提案必须获得国会至少三分二议员的多数票支持才能通过，因此在民联占有国会超过三分一议席，而有足够人数否决掉对其不利的议案的情况下，这次重划选区最终通过的版本，肯定是朝野两方都能接受的妥协方案，也因此是一个对双方都相对公平的方案。
过去国阵并不重视改革选举制度的建议，尤其是公平划分选区这一项，是因为过往的历届大选无论引起多少争议，选举制度存有这样或那样的瑕疵纰漏，尤其是得票率与所得议席数不成比例的问题长期存在，但国阵的整体得票率最起码还总是超过5成，国阵政权还是具有正当性。
但本届大选国阵得票率不过半，却还能赢得多数议席而执政，却正正使选举制度的弊端凸显了出来，使它成为一个国阵和有关当局无从回避的问题。
民联必会抓紧这一点，作为他们挑战本届大选成绩的强力论据，进而否定国阵政权的合法性。从民联日前发动的格拉纳再也体育馆10万人大集会的声势，以及安华当晚的演说来看，民联或会借用“阿拉伯之春”那套革命方式，用得票率来否定政府的正当性，辅以规模庞大、连绵不断的群众示威，使政府无法运作，逼使执政党交出政权。在马来西亚，情况不大可能发展至如此极端地步，国阵为了化解执政基础受质疑的危机，还有一个选项就是向民联伸出橄榄枝，组成联合政府。
但最重要的，还是选举制度的全面检讨与革新，只有重建选举制度的权威与公信，那么通过这套制度胜选执政的政党，无论那是国阵或民联，才能确立政权的威信，使胜者谦卑、败者服输。不少人深为不满以至不愿接受本届大选的成绩，他们愤慨的言行或被视为不够理智。事实上，必须先有制度的理性，才会有理智的群众；而制度理性的关键，在于其程序和结果不能违背常理和常识。
总而言之，问题既然无从回避，那唯有大破大立，始可重建权威：政治上，要适度放权弃权；制度上，要做得出符合人们预期，甚至超越人们预期的深度改革。

Lama tidak mendengar perkembangan terkini Sharifah Sakinah. Tup-tup hari ini Sharifah Sakinah telah mengupload sebuah video menerusi akaun Keek Anzalna. Boleh dikatakan video tersebut agak lucah sekaligus mendapat reaksi negatif daripada mereka yang telah menontonnya.
Sebelum ini juga, Sharifah Sakinah ada mengupload video Keek yang bertajuk sebenarnya “Saya sebenarnya pondan”. Video ini turut sama mendapat reaksi negatif daripada pembaca.
Abang Nara rasa Sharifah Sakinah nak buat lawak sebenarnya tapi tidak menjadi. Mungkin boleh berusaha lebih keras lagi untuk menjadi kelakar. Kalau rajin, pergilah belajar dengan Bobo. Dia amat kelakar pada pandangan Abang Nara. Hehehe.
Baca Yang Ini Pulak:-
During a webinar I hosted featuring Evanna Phoon and Chris Foong (Senior Manager of Rockwills Advisory Services), I asked the question: “According to Foong’s past experience dealing with over 40+ multi-billion/millionaires, what is the most common concern of a high-level individual?”
You can watch the video below on Chris Foong’s sharing:
Chris Foong: Actually one of the main and most common concerns , I think you have heard of it, is the Spendthrift Beneficiaries.
KCLau: Oh, that means that one of the heirs will be spending a lot of money.
Chris: Exactly. Let’s say they have a little four or five children, or two, three children for example. The tendency is that one of them will be like that. I mean throughout experience, this is quite real, in the real world I would say. That tendency actually gives some sort of problem if no proper planning is being done.
Of course, let’s say if a client has a multi-billion dollar kind of business empire, you may not want to transfer the shares to such a beneficiary. So, there is proper planning that needs to be done.
We most commonly use a type of a structural trust fund, whereby at the death of the testator of course you will not want to neglect this child. We still want to benefit this child. But, do not want this child to own a lump sum arrangement straightaway.
Maybe, it will be done in staggered payments or we can even design incentives. For example, say if you would like to look at this much allowance or whatever from the trust fund, every month, or year, or whatever it is. You will need to work or prove to us that you have capability of generating income or a way to match that. Otherwise, you will just be given a very minimum kind of allowance just to sustain your living expenses.
Definitely not giving him a big amount at one go.
KCLau: So, this is setting up rules saying that if you are making ten thousand a month, then you’ll get a certain allowance, let’s say another ten thousand from the trust, or something like that.
Chris: Yes, something along that line.
KCLau: Iff the beneficiary is not working, the trust maybe will just pay him…
Chris: A minimum amount.
KCLau: An amount, say, two thousand or three thousand a month.
Chris: Exactly. Correct. And this little worry actually leads on to another worry. Assuming that your child is actually already married or with children, most of the time, the grandparents are worried. I’m like this. I’m also worried that my grandchildren are not taken care of. So, that’s why.
KCLau: I see. How do you arrange that? How do you arrange for the grandchildren to get more money or benefit than the parents?
Chris: Sometimes they will invest on this type of trust called Generation Skipping Trust.
KCLau: Skipping? Generation Skipping?
Evanna: Yeah, they skip the parents.
Chris: Actually in simple terms, it’s just really something for the grandchildren. Again, this something could be cash or it could be an entitlement to shares in the business.
This will be in a proper structure. Whether it will be in the form of a trust or foundation, we will need to look at the customer concerns before we can advise. But definitely these are very real, true worries.
In fact, if you ask me, one of the other common worry I think I should tell you now…
KCLau: Okay, good.
Chris: It also includes the family members that are not in good terms. These are quite common as well.
KCLau: Not in good terms. For example?
Evanna: Internal fighting.
KCLau: Oh.
Chris: Yeah, brothers fighting for roles to be played in the business itself.
Evanna: Sibling rivalry.
Chris: Sibling rivalry is quite common as well. Some of worries like, “I have no problem benefitting my son or my daughter. My worry is that when I pass on, and the spouse will re-marry. I don’t want my inheritance to be given to them, you know, the in-laws, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and eventually benefitting also their in-laws. That is also one of the worries.
And another will be protection. That’s right – protection. I have a client, of course, I can’t mention names, but he is definitely a high-level client. He actually set up a living trust whereby he transferred almost 30 million worth of insurance into the trust. This living trust is actually an irrevocable living trust.
Why is it called that? It is because after five years of setting up this trust, assuming the entire transaction is done without any fraud and depending on what will happen to the client himself, he does not need to worry about creditors coming to claim from him over the sum of the insurance proceeds. That’s also one of the main benefits of setting up a trust.
KCLau: Oh, great. So, what you are saying is that one of your clients actually transferred or assigned about 30 million worth of insurance into a living trust, and it is irrevocable. Irrevocable means, it cannot be cancelled, right? Once that’s done, it’s already done.
Chris: Right.
KCLau: So, after five years if he’s got a creditor who want to chase over the money, they cannot touch the trust money.
Chris: Yes.
KCLau: That’s very suitable for those kinds of business which is engaging in quite high risk trading or something.
Chris: Exactly.

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 10.5.2013
DAP’s urgent priority of polls reform that respects the “one-man, one-vote,one-value” principle will not be undermined by BN’s underhand tactics to try to split up PR by inviting DAP to join BN as DAP’s struggle is for principles not positions, for people-centric policies and not personal interests. Clearly BN’s latest tactics is designed to split up the unity within PR.
DAP has no interest in joining BN for posts because if we had wanted to, we could have done so during the last 40 years. However DAP refused to join BN and held steadfastly to our ideals, principles and policies of a fairer, freer and democratic Malaysia. DAP leaders had not only forgone the perks and privileges of high office, but sacrificed their personal liberties by being jailed and detained.
If DAP leaders can hold firm and steadfast when we lost in general elections, there is no doubt that DAP can do the same now when we have won the highest number of seats in our history of 38 Parliamentary and 107 state seats. This suggestion of DAP joining BN made by one MCA MP and one racist ex-UMNO Minister is clearly designed to undermine PR’s campaign to seek polls reform and split up the unity within PR.
The urgency of polls reform is highlighted by the travesty of justice of PR winning the popular vote in the 13th General Elections but yet losing government to BN. How can BN win power in Perak when PR won 55% of the popular vote? Similarly how can BN continue to be the Federal government when PR won 51% of the popular vote, an increase of 3% popular vote that allowed PR to gain only 7 parliamentary seats from 82 to 89.
Such injustice and underhanded tactics is most pronounced in Perak when PR won 52% of the popular vote in 2008 general elections and managed to win power with 31 state seats against 28 for BN. During this general elections, PR won even more popular votes in Perak this time with 55% and yet won only 28 state seats against BN’s 31. In both the Federal and Perak governments, we have a minority BN government or a minority Prime Minister and minority Perak Menteri Besar heading the administration.
Any talks of co-operation must be done through PR and not through individual parties. PR is willing to co-operate with BN to implement polls reform to reflect the unhappiness of the majority of Malaysians who voted for change and yet discover that despite winning the popular vote, they can not throw out BN.
Before this call to DAP to join BN, there have also been similar calls to PAS to join BN with UMNO for a unity government. All this is done when UMNO is demonizing both DAP and the Chinese community for daring to oppose and vote against BN. Malaysians are no longer stupid and will not allow BN to racialize national issues.
Instead every matter should be discussed and decided on merits that is not race-based but needs based. This is the new paradigm shift of this general elections – that the people are sick and tired of race-based and extremist politics as well as a clear preference for people-centric policies that makes a difference to the lives of ordinary Malaysians.
Let us prove that the power of the people is more powerful than those people in power!

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 10 Mei 2013.
Tuntutan Reformasi Pilihanraya DAP Yang Menghormati Prinsip ‘Satu Orang, Satu Undi, Satu Nilai’ Tidak Akan Dilemahkan Dengan Taktik Kotor BN Untuk Cuba Memecahbelahkan Pakatan Rakyat Dengan Menjemput DAP Menyertai BN Kerana Perjuangan DAP Adalah Demi Prinsip Bukan Jawatan, Demi Polisi Mesra Rakyat Dan Bukan Kepentingan Peribadi.
Tuntutan reformasi pilihanraya DAP yang menghormati prinsip ‘satu orang, satu undi, satu nilai’ tidak akan dilemahkan dengan taktik kotor BN untuk cuba memecahbelahkan Pakatan Rakyat dengan menjemput DAP menyertai BN kerana perjuangan DAP adalah demi prinsip bukan jawatan, demi polisi mesra rakyat dan bukan kepentingan peribadi. Jelas sekali taktik terkini BN itu dirangka untuk memecahkan perpaduan Pakatan Rakyat.
DAP tidak berminat langsung untuk menyertai BN demi jawatan, kerana jika kami mahu, kami telah buat begitu 40 tahun lalu. Namun DAP tetap enggan menyertai BN dan berpegang teguh kepada idealisme, prinsip dan polisi ke arah Malaysia yang lebih adil, bebas dan demokratik. Pemimpin DAP bukan sahaja telah mengorbankan keistimewaan dan kemewahan jawatan tinggi, malah telah mengorbankan kebebasan sendiri sehingga dikurung dan dipenjara.
Sekiranya pemimpin DAP boleh berpegang teguh dan bersatu hati di saat ia kalah dalam pilihanraya, tidak sangsi lagi bahawa DAP akan tetap bersatu hati sekarang ketika ia berjaya memenangi jumlah kerusi tertinggi dalam sejarah parti, iaitu sebanyak 38 kerusi Parlimen dan 107 kerusi DUN. Cadangan untuk DAP menyertai BN ini dibuat oleh seorang Ahli Parlimen MCA dan seorang bekas menteri UMNO yang rasis; jelas bertujuan melemahkan kempen Pakatan Rakyat untuk menuntut reformasi pilihanraya dan memecahkan perpaduan Pakatan Rakyat.
Keperluan reformasi pilihanraya ini adalah sorotan daripada ketidakadilan dalam keadaan Pakatan Rakyat menang undi popular di PRU ke 13 tetapi tidak berjaya mendapat kuasa pentadbiran daripada BN. Bagaimana mungkin BN menang kuasa di Perak padahal Pakatan Rakyat menang 55% undi popular? Sama juga bagaimana BN terus berkuasa di Kerajaan Persekutuan padahal Pakatan Rakyat mendapat 51% undi popular, peningkatan 3% undi tersebut yang mebolehkan Pakatan Rakyat menambah 7 kerusi Parlimen daripada 82 ke 89.
Ketidakadilan dan taktik kotor sebegini jelas kelihatan di Perak apabila Pakatan Rakyat menang 52% undi popular pada tahun 2008 dan berjaya memenangi kuasa dengan 31 kerusi DUN berbanding 28 kerusi milik BN. Pada PRU kali ini, Pakatan Rakyat menang lebih banyak undi popular di Perak, kali ini dengan 55% namun hanya mendapat 28 kerusi berbanding 31 kerusi BN. Di kedua-dua kerajaan Persekutuan dan Perak, kita mempunyai kerajaan minoriti BN atau Perdana Menteri minoriti dan Menteri Besar Perak minoriti mengepalai kerajaan.
Sebarang rundingan kerjasama mestilah dijalankan melalui Pakatan Rakyat secara bersama dan bukan melalui individu atau parti secara individu.Pakatan Rakyat sedia bekerjasama dengan BN untuk melaksanakan reformasi pilihanraya bagi memperlihatkan kemarahan majoriti rakyat Malaysia yang telah mengundi untuk perubahan namun mendapati bahawa meskipun menang undi popular, mereka masih tidak boleh menjatuhkan BN.
Sebelum ada jemputan untuk DAP menyertai BN ini, telah pun ada jemputan serupa supaya PAS menyertai BN bersama UMNO untuk membentuk kerajaan perpaduan. Semua ini dilakukan ketika UMNO terus mencela DAP dan masyarakat Cina kerana berani melawan dan mengundi selain BN. Rakyat Malaysia sudah tidak bodoh lagi dan tidak akan membiarkan BN memainkan isu perkauman di peringkat nasional.
Sepatutnya setiap perkara mesti dibincangkan dan diputuskan berasaskan merit dan bukan dasar perkauman tetapi keperluan. Inilah dia anjakan paradigma baru dalam PRU kali ini – yang rakyat telah muak dan menyampah dengan politik perkauman sempit dan ekstrim, serta telah memilih dengan jelas polisi-polisi yang mesra rakyat dan mampu mengubah kehidupan rakyat Malaysia.
Marilah kita buktikan bahawa kuasa rakyat lebih berkuasa daripada mereka yang memegang kuasa!
LIM GUAN ENG

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年5月10日在吉隆坡发表声明：
行动党对于选举改革的迫切要求，是落实尊重“一人一票”的原则，这项努力绝不会被国阵邀请行动党加入国阵这种不光明手段来分裂民联而破坏，因为行动党的斗争是为了原则、民本政策，不是为了官位及个人利益。
行动党对于选举改革的迫切要求，是落实尊重“一人一票”的原则，这项努力绝不会被国阵邀请行动党加入国阵这种不光明手段来分裂民联而破坏，因为行动党的斗争是为了原则、民本政策，不是为了官位及个人利益。很明显地，国阵最新的伎俩就是分裂民联。
行动党没有兴趣为了官位加入国阵， 如果我们要这么做，早在40年前就加入国阵。反之，我们拒绝加入国阵，并坚持我们的理念、原则及政策，打造一个更平等、更自由及更民主的马来西亚。行动党领袖不只放弃担任高官的好处及特权，也牺牲个人自由、被判监及扣留。
如果我们在过去大选败选时可以坚持原则、坚定不移，没理由行动党现在做不到，我们 获得历史上最多议席，38个国会议席及107个州议席。建议行动党加入国阵的人士是马华国会议员及种族主义的前巫统部长，很明显地，这是国阵设计来破坏民联要求选举改革的诉求，并趁机分裂民联的党内团结。
选举改革的迫切性在第13届大选中更加突出，民联赢得多数票，但是却把政权输给国阵。当民联在霹雳州拥有55%的选票时，为何国阵可以赢得政权？同样地，让民联在全国获得51%的选票时，国阵怎么可以继续成为联邦政府？ 民联的得票率增加3%，却只增加7个国会议席，从82增加至89个国会议席。
如果不公正及不光明的手段在霹雳州最明显示，民联在2008年赢得52% 得票率及31个州议席，国阵赢得28个议度。本届大选中，民联赢得更高得票率达55%，但是只赢得28个州议席，国阵却获得31个州议席。在联邦及霹雳政府，我们有一个得少数票的国阵政府或少数票首相、以及少数票霹雳州州务大臣来领导政府。
任何关于合作的谈判必须通过民联进行，而不是通过个别政党。民联愿意与国阵合作推行选举改革，让选举改革反映大多数马来西亚人的不满，他们在投选改变后，却发现尽管民联赢得多数票，国阵却不用下台。
在这些人呼吁行动党加入国阵前，他们也曾呼吁伊斯兰党加入国阵，与巫统组成联合政府。在行动党及华裔选民勇敢反对国阵时， 巫统就妖魔化二者，接着就有人邀请行动党加入国阵。马来西亚人不再愚笨，绝不会让国阵将国家大事种族化。
相反地，我们必须在优点与需求的基础上讨论每一件事，而不是以种族为基础，这是这个大选的新模范转移。人们已经厌倦种族及极端政治，他们已经表现出他们更倾向于以民为本的政策、改变普通马来西亚人的生活。
让我们证明，人民的力量与掌权的人更强而有力！

Pengaruh majalah Hijabista nampaknya sangat kuat sehingga telah diwujudkan sebuah rancangan khas yang diberikan nama Hijabista TV berdasarkan majalah tersebut. Hijabista TV akan ditayangkan di Astro Ria setiap Ahad bermula 12 Mei pada jam 7 malam.
Hijabista TV bakal dikendalikan empat hos baru, iaitu Syakirin Husnal, Yasmin Matthews, Dayah Bakar dan Faatin Akib. Empat segmen bagi 13 episod yang bakal ditayangkan di Astro Ria adalah Travel In Style, Bicara Personaliti, Pilihan Editor dan drama bersiri ‘Dunia Lola’.
Abang Nara pasti rancangan ini akan mempunyai pengikutnya yang tersendiri. Pasti ramai yang tak sabar menanti tips-tips memakai tudung daripada rancangan ini. 13 lagi gambar sekitar majlis pelancaran Hijabista TV dengan membaca entri ini sepenuhnya.

Mak bapak bergaduh, yang jadi mangsa ialah anak. Abang Nara pelik sungguh dengan Jimmy Shanley dan Suhaila ini. Mereka berdua tidak fikir ke kesan negatif yang dialami oleh anak mereka? Kesian sungguh si comel Zahrah Rania.
Walaupun mahkamah sudah memutuskan yang Jimmy Shanley mempunyai hak untuk bermalam bersama anaknya, Suhaila memberitahu yang dia merasakan Jimmy tidak ikhlas menjaga anak mereka. Kata Suhaila:-
Saya mahu proses menjaga Zahrah secara bersama dilakukan dengan ikhlas demi kebajikannya kerana tetapi saya merasakan Jimmy tidak ikhlas menjaga anak kami dan tidak pernah bertanya khabar tentangnya. Malah apabila saya maklumkan anak dimasukkan ke hospital pada 16 April lalu dia langsung tidak datang atau bertanya tentang kesihatan Zahrah. Tetapi sebaliknya dia boleh menghantar SMS marah-marah dan tidak menghiraukan mesej yang saya sampaikan mengenai tarikh hari lahir anak kami.
Buat pengetahuan anda, sehingga ke hari ini, Jimmy masih belum dapat berjumpa dengan anaknya walaupun mahkamah sudah membenarkan. Suhaila ada alasannya tersendiri mengenai perkara ini. Kata Suhaila lagi kepada Mstar Online:-
Saya membuat permohonan agar hak bermalam dengan Jimmy ditangguhkan hanya semata-mata kerana kesihatan dan kebajikan Zahrah. Malah perintah itu bukan dibuat secara kekal sebaliknya hanya sementara dia menguruskan dirinya memandangkan umurnya baru setahun 11 bulan. Tambahan pula Jimmy tinggal seorang diri dan dia selalu tiada di rumah. Malah keadaan rumahnya yang tidak terurus menyebabkan saya bimbang keselamatan anak.
Abang Nara rasa, kalau susah sangat nak jaga anak korang nie, baiklah bagi orang lain jaga. Ramai kot nak jaga budak comel macam Zahrah Rania nie. Patutnya Jimmy dan Suhaila bertolak ansur dan ikut sahajalah keputusan mahkamah. Orang kat luar sana berapa banyak yang berendam air mata kerana kahwin tak dapat-dapat anak. Ini korang bergaduh tak tentu pasal. Kesian anak korang yang mendapat impak negatif kerana pergaduhan anda berdua.

Abang Nara sedih juga sebenarnya apabila Tuan Guru Nik Aziz mengumumkan perletakan jawatannya sebagai Menteri Besar Kelantan. Namun Abang Nara faham faktor usia dan kesihatan menghalang TGNA untuk terus berkhidmat. Jadi sekarang, Kelantan sudah ada Menteri Besar dan barisan kepimpinan yang baru.
Abang Nara tak tahu mengapa Norman KRU ini suka sangat bercakap mengenai Kelantan. Semalam menerusi Harian Metro, Norman menyatakan harapannya terhadap pimpinan baru Kelantan. Kata Norman:-
Menerusi perubahan pucuk pimpinan baru di Kelantan, saya berharap rintihan artis tempatan didengar. Mungkin ada segelintir penduduk di sana mahukan persembahan terbuka dan segelintir tidak, tetapi saya mahu kerajaan pakatan pembangkang prihati terhadap industri hiburan tanah air. Di Pulau Pinang dan Selangor sebelum ini, tiada masalah dan adalah lebih baik dasar mereka ini menjadi konsisten.
Untuk pengetahuan Norman, orang Kelantan di Kelantan tidak berminat sangat dengan hiburan. Kalau ada, adalah. Kalau tak ada pun tak apa. Tapi kalau bab bola sepak jangan main-main. Mereka memang fanatik menyokong. Abang Nara rasa pucuk pimpinan Kelantan teruskanlah je apa yang diperjuangkan oleh TGNA selama ini. Tak perlu nak ubah banyak sangat. Tak gitu?

I have always been curious about these events. Yesterday night, I attended one. I knew it was going to be a mammoth gathering (from other sources, about 120,000 attended), thankfully I rode there. It was easier maneuvering the traffic with a motorcycle than a car.
Why Gather?
The General Election 13 is done and with BN once again, being the victor. However, there has been claims that there were cheating involved.
- Indelible ink – I was able to remove mine 30 minutes after election.
- Phantom voters – An ustaz was accused of trying to vote the second time. He arrived from Singapore at 4.30 pm. In the end he was able to cast his votes.
- Foreign voters – Bangladeshi was caught trying to cast vote, there are videos on this. Go find it yourself.
- Blackout – It was reported that a few sites experienced a black out. There’s already some proof that this did not happen but we can’t neglect this entirely.
- Recount Process – New Borang 14 surfaced during the recounting.
- Bribe – Some videos people receiving money from a Party’s vehicle
These are just theories until proven. Therefore we can’t deny any possibilities from either side, EC or candidates committing fraud. It is in our best interest to seek for truth.
Anwar Ibrahim claimed that there are close to 30 Parliament seats that was ‘robbed’ from the rakyat. PR intends to explore in this coming weeks. Until then, we just have to play the wait-and-see game.
People came by the dozens. Some even parked 2km just to avoid the traffic and some came as early as 3 pm. It became like a mini pasar malam.
From all walks of life. Cina Melayu India Singh, just name it.
We sat together, rubbing shoulders, passing around yellow ribbons, chanting and screaming. It was the best way for PR supporters to vent their angers.
I took the video of Anwar’s speech.
Proof I was there.
There are 4 areas I think this event can improve.
1. Trash was everywhere. I took sometime to collect these. I don’t understand people who wants CHANGE but doesn’t want to change their habit. When are they going to get it, you throw your own rubbish la!
2. Impatient People. Everyone was really hustling their way out pushing old folks and others. Relax la, be considerate.
3. Parking. It was hellish. Stadium Kelana Jaya is one messed up development area. There’s only one small entrance and exit for cars. It’s also along houses.
4. Smoking in the Stadium. I understand the urge to smoke, but please, hold it for 2-3 hours. And if want to smoke, don’t put it off on the bitumen track. That’s backwards thinking.
ps: I got home at 12. Kesian bini kerana tidak dapat turut serta.

Kenyataan Akhbar Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng Semasa Menyaksikan Upacara Mengangkat Sumpah Di Dewan Sri Pinang George Town Pada 9 Mei 2013.
Barisan EXCO pimpinan kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang 2.0 akan memperkasakan rakyat dengan pengetahuan dan pendidikan, memperkuasakan rakyat dengan hak dan tanggungjawab serta memperkayakan rakyat tanpa kira kaum, agama dan latar belakang politik. Saya percaya bahawa pasukan baru ini akan mencerminkan hasrat murni PR untuk bersuara untuk semua, bertindak adil kepada semua dan membantu semua.
Pada masa yang sama, saya ingin ucapkan terima kasih kepada 3 Ahli EXCO lama YB Law Choo Kiang, YB Wong Hon Wai dan YB Lydia Ong atas khidmat dan sumbangan yang diberikan kepada kerajaan negeri selama 5 tahun ini. Mereka terus akan diberikan peranan penting oleh kerajaan negeri untuk sama-sama menjadikan Pulau Pinang lebih bersih, hijau, sihat dan selamat.
Kerajaan negeri tidak akan mempersalahkan mana-mana pihak atas kemenangan parti pembangkang BN dalam 10 kerusi negeri dalam pilihanraya umum 13 yang lepas ini. Sebaliknya kerajaan negeri menghormati pilihan penyokong BN dan memberikan jaminan akan terus menjaga kebajikan mereka seperti rakyat Pulau Pinang lain.
Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang 2.0 menjaminkan akan bekerja keras untuk rakyat sebagai membalas sokongan rakyat daripada pengundi Melayu, Cina dan India yang meningkat daripada 58% undi dalam pilihanraya umum ke-12 kepada 66% dalam pilihanraya umum ke-13. Salah satu tumpuan adalah untuk menyekat peningkatan kejadian jenayah di Pulau Pinang seperti di Seberang Perai Tengah dengan memasang lebih banyak tiang lampu jalan dan CCTV. Lagi satu tumpuan adalah untuk membuat bayaran warga emas RM100 setahun mulai 18Mei 2013.
Marilah kita bersatu untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang No. 1 di Malaysia sebagai negeri bertaraf antarabangsa dan pintar.

Siapakah Julian Schratter? Buat anda yang tidak tahu, Julian pernah dikaitkan mempunyai hubungan cinta dengan Yuna namun telah dinafikan. Sebelum ini, Yuna seringkali berkongsi gambarnya dan Julian menerusi Instagram. Untuk makluman, Julian adalah jurugambar peribadi Yuna.
Baru-baru ini, album EP terbaru Yuna berjudul Sixth Street telah pun dilancarkan. Sebuah akhbar berbahasa Inggeris telah mengeluarkan ulasan bahawa album tersebut kurang mengancam. Perkataan yang digunakan ialah “overdone and uninventive” menyebabkan Julian Schratter melahirkan rasa tidak puas hatinya melalui Instagram.
Kata-kata yang diluahkan oleh Julian ialah (selepas dialihbahasa):-
Saya terkesima seketika kemudian saya sedar bahawa saya membenci semua media Malaysia dan saya tidak ambil pusing apa yang mereka ingin katakan
Walaupun bukan Yuna sendiri yang mengeluarkan kenyataan di atas, namun kata-kata Julian sedikit sebanyak mengguris hati media Malaysia. Kepada Julian, muzik itu universal. Bukan semua orang boleh suka lagu teman rapat anda si Yuna ini. Kalau orang dah tak suka, pedulikanlah. Ramai lagi yang masih menggemarinya. Tak perlu mengeluarkan kata-kata sebegini. Info asal Kosmo Online.
UPDATE: Setelah membaca komen anda, kritikan yang dilemparkan adalah terhadap cover album EP ini yang memaparkan wajah Yuna dengan latar belakang putih. Gambar tersebut telah diambil oleh Julian. Kritikan penuh berbunyi “At first glance, the EP, which introduces her as Verve Records’ new signing, might strike some as underwhelming, as the CD cover (yes, even this can make or break the album) features yet another head-tilted, close-up self-portrait of the singer set against a white background. Overdone and uninventive, yes, but as the saying goes, don’t judge a book – or in this case, EP – by its cover.”.

Baca Yang Ini Pulak:-
Muka Sharifah Aini sememangnya sentiasa menjadi topik perbualan di kalangan peminatnya. Mana taknya, wajah terbaru Kak Pah kelihatan semakin berisi dan kembung. Sekali tengok memang macam Kak Pah ambil suntikan botoks. Nampak sembam semacam je muka Kak Pah.
Namun ternyata perkara tersebut tidak benar. Menurut Kak Pah, perubahan wajahnya berlaku kerana pengambilan steroid ekoran mengalami jangkitan paru-paru enam bulan lalu. Kata Kak Pah kepada Mstar Online:-
Memang muka Kak Pah kelihatan berisi dan mengembung kerana kesan daripada pengambilan steroid yang akan menyebabkan muka jadi ‘sembab’ dan bukannya kerana membuat apa-apa suntikan botoks ataupun lain-lain. Sebelum ini keadaan muka Kak Pah kelihatan lebih bengkak berbanding sekarang kerana pengambilan hampir 80 miligram steroid tetapi ia sudah beransur surut kerana pengambilan ubat tersebut telah dikurangkan kepada 5 miligram sahaja
Menurut Kak Pah, amalan penjagaan wajah sejak berusia 18 tahun menyebabkan wajahnya nampak jauh lebih muda berbanding usia. Kata Kak Pah lagi:-
Orang mungkin mempertikaikan perkara itu tetapi amalan saya yang menjaga wajah sejak muda banyak membantu dan memberi kesan kepada usia sekarang. Orang tidak tahu cerita, mereka mula menuduh perkara yang mereka sendiri tidak tahu keadaan sebenar. Tidak baik buruk sangka terhadap orang lain.

| 国阵与民联的得票率与议席比例对比。 |
据《南洋商报》日前统计，国阵在刚落幕的第13届大选获得的选票是总选票的47.38%，但赢得的国会席位却是总数的60%，即222个国席中的133个，以简单多数议席执政。反观民联三党的得票总和占总选票的50.87%，却只赢得40%（即89个）席位，无法实现改朝换代的目标。
民联肯定以得票率与议席数的不成比例，作为挑战本届大选成绩的强力论据之一，以质疑国阵政府的政权正当性。这种得票率与议席数目不成比例的情况，是选举制度之一的“简单多数胜出制”（Plurality
Election）里常出现的票票不等值问题。晚近十年，民间有识之士提出的选举制度改革意见，较突出的诉求就是要“一人一票，票票等值”，具体针对这种票票不等值的纰漏，其中含括2层意义：选区之间的选民人数不能差别过于巨大，以及政党获得的选票应更真实更公平的反映在其赢取的选区席位数目上。
以我国本届大选为例，整体来看，国阵是票票不等值的得益者，而民联则成了受害者。但进一步细究的话，则更正确而言，国阵里只有巫统是得益者，而民联则只有公正党和伊斯兰党是受害者。
若不以国阵和民联2个政治阵营作分野，仅以个别党派的大选成绩而论，那么巫统和行动党是票票不等值的得益者，马华、公正党、伊斯兰党、民政党、国大党等，都是受害者。
同样依据《南洋商报》的统计，巫统的得票占总选票的29%，但赢得的席位却占总议席的39%，即222个国席中的88个。行动党方面，得票占总票数的15.71%，赢得的席位则占总议席的17%，即222个国席中的38个。巫统和行动党都赚了票票不等值的“额外红利”，巫统占的便宜最大。
至于受害方方面：马华的得票占总票数的8%，但赢得的席位却只占总议席的3%，即222个国席中的7个；公正党的得票占总票数的20.39%，但赢得的席位却只占总议席的13.51%，即222个国席中的30个；伊斯兰党的得票占总票数的14.78%，但赢得的席位却只占总议席的9.45%，即222个国席中的21个。
国大党和民政党赢下的席位占总议席的比率，同样低于他们的得票率。这几个政党都是票票不等值的受害方，其中又以公正党和伊斯兰党亏最大。公正党得票比行动党多，席位却比行动党少，伊斯兰党得票率比行动党只少1%，但席位却比行动党少了17个之多。
一些国家为了弥补“简单多数胜出制”下产生的票票不等值纰漏，采取混合选举制，即在实行由选民以简单多数原则选出各选区议员的同时，也落实比例代表制的“双轨制”，各政党依据本身获得的得票率可委任同等比例的议员进入议会。
以马来西亚为例，若国会除了现有的222个选区席位之外，另有100个议会席位是根据政党得票率委任议员，则除了通过选区选出的议员之外，巫统可另外委任29名议员、马华8名、国大党2名、民政党2名、行动党15名、公正党20名、伊斯兰党14名。如此一来，国阵里非巫裔政党将有更强大实力去制衡巫统，而民联里三党的席位比例也更为平衡。
为我国选举制引进比例代表制度，其实过去已有不少人提出，但各政党的反应似乎是兴趣缺缺，但经历本届大选，应得到一些政党的关注，尤其是在票票不等值下“吃亏”的马华、公正党、伊斯兰党、国大党和民政党等，若能联手推动此项改革，也不失为一次具深远意义的朝野合作。
另一项也很早有人提出，但长期被国阵忽略的选举改革建议，就是恢复地方政府选举。马华在本届大选惨败后，各地党部已陆续辞去地方上的官委职位，势必导致各地方行政的政务官系统瞬间出现大面积真空状态。以马华广布全国华人城镇和新村的人脉、资源和机制，只要恢复地方选举，要拿下大多数的华人地方席位，当不成问题。
马华的“民生服务牌”和“地方发展牌”，随时代的变迁，在国会和州会选举中越来越无法收效，造成马华地方干部做牛做马的服务口碑，总是无法反映在选票上。但是服务牌和民生牌在地方议会选举中却相对管用，通过地方选举，能真正反映马华在基层的实力和政绩。例如本届大选，马华仅获7国席11州席，但如果有地方选举，马华中选的县市议员人数应比国州议员人数可观，甚至能执政多个地方政府。简言之，地方桩脚固然无法抵挡全国性的政治海啸，却能通过地方选举这个平台，为马华稳住地方实力，保存基层元气，进而培育征战国州选区的潜在人选。
马华505惨败后，有人问何去何从，其实单是部署选举制度改革和恢复地方选举，工作就多的是呢。
大选期间，读到不少选人还是选党的讨论，于是写了一些即兴文字，当时传给一个为某国阵候选人助选的朋友。我是贪生怕死的人，在竞选期间全世界——至少我认识的人是100个里有99.9个——都在反国阵的狂风暴雨下，可不敢公诸于众，以免被千刀万剐。
如今选举总算结束，亢奋和激情的气氛有所平复，把这些文字整理一下拿出来献丑。
话说这届大选，行动党不断告诉我们，这次是换政府的千载难逢机会，大家一定要坚持投票给民联，实现政党轮替，创造历史。
阿炳的选区，马华候选人素质不错，至于行动党的候选人，从不见他有什么表现。本来有点想把票投给马华候选人，不过听到大家都在说：好人救不了坏政府，现在是有史以来改朝换代的历史性时刻，要以大局为重，唯有投党不投人，Ini kalilah！
结果，kali ini没有ubah到，倒是马华的那个好人落选了，行动党那个没表现的候选人当选了。
4、5年后又是大选，行动党又来告诉我们，这次又是换政府的千载难逢机会，大家一定又要坚持投票给民联，实现政党轮替，创造历史。
在阿炳的选区，这次马华候选人素质也是不错，至于行动党的候选人，同样从来不见他有什么表现。本来这次真的很鬼想把票投给马华候选人，不过听到大家又在到处说：好人救不了坏政府，现在是有史以来改朝换代的历史性时刻，要以大局为重，唯有投党不投人，Ini kalilah！
结果，kali ini还是没有ubah到，只是马华的那个好人又落选了，行动党那个没表现的候选人又当选了。
往后的每一届大选，阿炳几乎每次都听到相似的论调：这次是政党轮替的历史性时刻，好人救不了坏政府，要以大局为重，ini kalilah！
于是每届大选的结果都一样——kali-kali都是好人落选，没表现的人当选。
后来，有一天，阿炳突然发现，再没有好人愿意出来竞选了。
再后来，阿炳甚至发现，每届大选中选的行动党候选人，就是那些每次都在重复高喊“ ini kalilah！”、可是没什么实质表现的人。
话说回来，本届大选成绩进一步巩固了政治两线制的格局，使之更为成熟，巫统一党独大的神话算是一去不复返了。此次变天不成，但依此情势发展下去，政党轮替迟早要到来，而且其到来将是平静安稳的。
遗憾的只是，像原柔佛州务大臣阿都甘尼和原副高教部长塞夫丁等巫统内少见的中庸领袖，像末沙布、祖基菲里阿末、沙拉胡丁阿育等伊斯兰党里罕有的开明领袖，像何国忠和邓章耀等在马华民政里硕果仅存形象正面的领袖，这些令人有希望的人，都落选了。

Buat anda yang tidak tahu, Sherry Ibrahim pernah menjadi kekasih Ashraf Muslim. Namun begitu hubungan mereka telah terputus kira-kira 4 tahun yang lalu. Apabila diminta memberikan komen mengenai isu Ashraf Muslim yang sedang hangat sekarang ini, Sherry enggan dikaitkan lagi kerana antara mereka sudah tiada apa-apa kaitan.
Kata Sherry Ibrahim kepada Mstar Online:-
Jujurnya, saya tidak membaca gosip-gosip di media dan saya tidak mahu mengambil tahu tentang perkara itu. Apabila pihak media meminta saya komen tentang isu Ashraf mahu kahwin dua, saya tak boleh nak komen sebab ia tiada kaitan dengan diri saya. Lagipun itu hal adalah urusan rumah tangga dia yang saya rasa ia tidak elok untuk saya memberi sebarang pandangan
Ini baru betul tak berikan sebarang komen. Tak macam si Sakinah yang kata taknak komen tapi cerita panjang lebar. Bagus betul si Sherry ini. Sayangnya kalau anda nak mengorat dia, lupakanlah sahaja hasrat itu. Sherry sudah ada kekasih baru yang merupakan seorang jejaka Mauritius.
Saya sudah ada kekasih dan kami telah menjalinkan hubungan sejak setahun lalu. Bagaimanapun saya tak boleh nak ceritakan siapa dia. Cukuplah yang orang tahu saya sudah berpunya. Apa yang saya boleh katakan, dia juga bekerja di dalam bidang yang sama cuma bukan sebagai pramugara. Dia sebaya saya iaitu 30 tahun.
Jejaka Mauritius pun jejaka Mauritius lah. Kalau dah memang jodohnya dengan orang luar, apa salahnya kan? Yang penting bahagia. Kepada Sherry, semoga percintaan anda akan berpanjangan sehingga ke jinjang pelamin. Sama-samalah kita doakan.

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 9.5.2013.
DAP is not surprised that MCA and Gerakan are behaving in a childish manner by petulantly closing down their service centers in retaliation for the devastating defeats in the recent general elections. MCA was left with 7 parliamentary seats whilst Gerakan had only 1 parliamentary seat. Such a reaction by Gerakan and MCA losing in the general elections is akin to a child throwing tantrum for not getting what he or she wants.
Carrying out threats of closing down service centers will not impress voters, whether Chinese, Indians or Malays who had already dismissed them as irrelevant and had already made up their minds to reject BN. This is indicated by PR winning the popular vote of 51% compared to BN’s 47.4%, the first time that an opposition coalition had won more than 50% of the popular vote(see below).
(Not including spoilt votes)
PR won 5.6 million votes compared to 5.2 million for BN, a clear lead of 386,000 votes. PR winning 51% of the popular vote yet only 40% of the parliamentary seats cries out for genuine polls reforms that respects the “one-man, one-vote” principle to save democracy.
Malaysians who voted by a clear majority for PR over BN would see the results as perverse in that BN that lost the popular vote won government whilst PR won the popular vote lost power. This is black becoming white and black becoming white.
A Saturday DAP Conference In KL For All 38 Elected MPs and 107 Elected State Assemblymen On Plans To Serve The Nation And Voters As Well As To Replace MCA And Gerakan Which Has Closed Shop On Its Own Following Their Total Rejection By Voters In The 13th General Elections.
MCA and Gerakan grossly underestimated the people’s yearning for change if they think closing down service centers or their offices in retaliation for losing the general elections can frighten the voters. DAP did not close down our offices or service centers when we lost in every general election from 1966 to 2008 but continued our struggle for the people.
The people are sick and tired of these childish games. If MCA and Gerakan can close down service centers, why has MCA and Gerakan not announced that they will close down completely?
DAP shall be organizing a special national conference this Saturday in Kuala Lumpur for all 38 elected MPs and 107 elected state assemblymen on plans to serve the nation and voters as well as to replace MCA and Gerakan which has closed shop on its own following their total rejection by voters in the 13th general elections.

Kenyataan Media oleh Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 9 Mei 2013.
Pakatan Rakyat Menang 51% Undi Popular Namun Hanya 40% Kerusi Parlimen Menuntut Reformasi Pilihanraya Yang Tulen Yang Menghormati Prinsip Satu Orang Satu Undi Demi Menyelamatkan Demokrasi.
DAP tidak terkejut dengan perangai kebudak-budakan MCA dan Gerakan yang seolah-olah merajuk sehingga menutup pusat-pusat khidmat mereka sebagai balasan kepada kekalahan teruk yang dialami dalam pilihanraya umum yang baru berakhir. MCA hanya berhasil mendapat 7 kerusi Parlimen manakala Gerakan hanya mendapat 1 kerusi. Reaksi oleh Gerakan dan MCA setelah kalah dalam pilihanraya samalah seperti seorang budak kecil yang mengamuk kerana tidak mendapat apa yang dia mahukan.
Mengancam untuk menutup pusat khidmat tidak akan menarik minat pengundi, tidak kira Cina, India mahupun Melayu yang telah memutuskan mereka sebagai tidak lagi relevan dan telah membuat keputusan untuk menolak BN. Ini ditunjukkan apabila Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 51% undi popular berbanding undi popular BN sebanyak 47.4%; kali pertama dalam sejarah sebuah pakatan oposisi memenangi lebih daripada separuh undi popular. (lihat bawah)
(Tidak termasuk undi rosak)
Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 5.6 juta undi berbanding 5.2 juta undi oleh BN, perbezaan ketara sebanyak 386,000 undi. Pakatan Rakyat menang 51% undi popular namun hanya 40% kerusi Parlimen menuntut reformasi pilihanraya yang tulen yang menghormati prinsip satu orang satu undi demi menyelamatkan demokrasi.
Rakyat Malaysia yang telah mengundi Pakatan Rakyat berbanding BN dengan majoriti jelas melihat keputusan pilihanraya sebagai sesuatu yang pelik kerana BN yang kalah undi popular dapat menjadi kerajaan, manakala Pakatan Rakyat yang menang undi popular tidak mendapat kuasa. Inilah namanya hitam jadi putih, putih jadi hitam.
Persidangan DAP Di Kuala Lumpur Pada Hari Sabtu Untuk Kesemua 38 Ahli Parlimen Dan 107 ADUN Yang Telah Dipilih, Bagi Merangka Pelan Bagi Berkhidmat Kepada Negara Dan Pengundi Serta Untuk Menggantikan MCA Dan Gerakan Yang Telah ‘Tutup Kedai’ Dengan Sendirinya Berikutan Penolakan Total Terhadap Mereka Oleh Pengundi Dalam PRU Ke-13.
MCA dan Gerakan telah memandang rendah kehendak rakyat untuk perubahan seandainya mereka berfikir bahawa dengan menutup pusat khidmat dan pejabat mereka sebagai balasan kekalahan pilihanraya akan menakutkan para pengundi. DAP tidak pernah menutup pejabat dan pusat khidmatnya apabila kita kalah dalam setiap pilihanraya sejak tahun 1966 sehingga 2008 tetapi terus berjuang demi rakyat.
Rakyat sudah muak dan menyampah dengan permainan yang kebudak-budakan ini. Jika MCA dan Gerakan boleh menutup pusat khidmat mereka, kenapa tidak MCA dan Gerakan umumkan sahaja yang mereka akan ‘tutup kedai’ terus?
DAP akan mengadakan persidangan khas di Kuala Lumpur pada hari Sabtu untuk kesemua 38 Ahli Parlimen dan 107 ADUN yang telah dipilih, bagi merangka pelan bagi berkhidmat kepada negara dan pengundi serta untuk menggantikan MCA dan Gerakan yang telah ‘tutup kedai’ dengan sendirinya berikutan penolakan total terhadap mereka oleh pengundi dalam PRU ke-13.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年5月9日在吉隆坡发表声明：
民联获得51%的得票率，却只获得40%的国会议席，激起人民大声疾呼要求选举改革，尊重一人一票原则，拯救民主。
行动党一点也不惊讶，马华和民政党在输了大选后，幼稚、暴躁地关闭他们的服务中心，做为报复。马华只剩7个国会议席、民政党只剩一个国会议席。马华和民政党在输了选举后的动作，就好像小孩子得不到自己要的东西发脾气那样。
他们威胁关闭服务中心不会让选民留下什么印象，不论是华人、印度人或马来人都已经视他们为“无关紧要”，他们也已经下定决心拒绝国阵。这从民联获得51%的得票率，而国阵获得47.4%可以看出，第一次反对党赢得超过50%的得票率（如下表）。
(不包括废票)
民联赢得560万张选票，而国阵只获得520万张选票，很明显地，民联领先38万6000张选票。民联赢得51%，却只获得40%的国会议席，激起人们大声疾呼要求选举改革，尊重“一人一票”原则，拯救民主。
大多数投选了民联的马来西亚人会看到不成正比成绩，那就是国阵输了选票，却赢得政府，而民联赢了选票，却输了政权。这就是黑的变白，白的变黑。
民主行动党将于星期六在吉隆坡召开会议，与中选的38个国会议员及107年州议员，一起商讨如何服务国家及选民，取代在第13届大选被选民拒绝后已经“关店”的马华及民政党。
如果马华与民政在输了大选便关闭服务中心做为报复手段，那么，他们真的低估了人民求变的渴望。民主行动党从1966年至2008年开始，在每一次败选后，并没有关闭我们的办公室及服务中心，而是继续为人民斗争。
人民对于这种幼稚的游戏感到厌烦及疲累。如果马华及民政党可以关闭服务中心，那么他们为何不干脆宣布他们已经“关店”？
行动党将在来临星期六举行特别全国大会， 与中选的38个国会议员及107年州议员，一起商讨如何服务国家及选民，取代在第13届大选被选民拒绝后已经“关店”的马华及民政党。

Beberapa hari ini agak kecoh juga di laman Internet apabila timbul desas desus yang pelakon dan pengamal perubatan Islam Ashraf Muslim akan berkahwin untuk kali kedua dengan seorang wanita bernama Wan Sakinah.
Kami telah menerima kiriman e-mel dari pembaca BeautifulNara.com yang enggan dikenali mendakwa gambar-gambar yang dikepilkan olehnya ialah Wan Sakinah yang dikatakan akan berkahwin dengan Ashraf dengan kebenaran isteri pertamanya Noor Dayana Lokman.
Kebenaran dakwaan ini tidak dapat dipastikan, namun sekiranya benar dan dan ada kebenaran dari isteri pertama apa salahnya bukan. Kalau tak silap, pernikahan Asyraf dan Noor Dayana berlangsung pada Ogos 2011 dan sudah setahun setengah mereka melayari bahtera perkahwinan.
Sementara itu melalui laman Twitternya, Ashraf telah memberi reaksi mengenai laporan akhbar Harian Metro mengandungi kenyataan dari Wan Sakinah:
Salam semua. Luahan hati. Makin lama makin ramai yang suka melemparkan fitnah demi kepentingan masing-masing. Ingat kita ada Allah.
Makin banyak fitnah dilemparkan yg direka-reka oleh wartawan Harian Metro. Semoga Allah memberkati kamu. Ingat kita ada Allah.
Tidak dapat dipastikan apa maksud sebenar Ashraf Muslim mengenai ‘fitnah’ yang didakwanya. Apa pun mari kita doakan semoga penyelesaian terbaik akan dicapai oleh pihak-pihak terlibat.

Will the fabled Star Trek Medical Tricorder be a reality? It might if there is a worthy winner of the X Prize Foundation’s $10 million competition scheduled to end on mid-2015. From New Scientist
Announcing the contest last year, Peter Diamandis of the X Prize Foundation said that the guidelines were inspired by the “medical tricorder” featured in the TV series Star Trek. Waved like a wand over the human body, the smartphone-like device was capable of diagnosing myriad ailments.
Like the tricorder, the winning device must be portable, weighing no more than 2.25 kilograms. It must be able to diagnose 12 specific medical conditions – ranging from a common ear infection to pneumonia – and monitor five vital signs. Competing teams must also choose three from a list of 12 more ambitious “elective” conditions to detect, including melanoma, food poisoning and HIV infection.
The guidelines specify that devices that work in the least invasive way will score best with the judges – a panel of non-expert users. And unlike the box of tricks on the TV show, competition devices must make diagnoses without any help from medical professionals.
The specifications of the device:
I really look forward to a gadget like that. In the meantime there are already “plugins” like AliveCor’s ECG monitor for your iPhone and a portable Ultrasound (Windows mobile).
Portable gadgets are also getting cheaper these days and I just got myself this really cheap Pulse Oxymeter from Ebay

Kesian jugak Abang Nara membaca kata-kata Mejar David Teo ini. Iyerlah, sebelum ini Aeril Zafrel memohon keluar daripada MIG dengan alasan ingin mendalami ilmu agama. Tup-tup keluar pula berita yang Aeril sudah berlakon dalam produksi Hollywood. Serupa kena tipu la kan?
Abang Nara respek kepada Mejar David Teo kerana membenarkan Aeril Zafrel berhenti daripada MIG kerana mahu mendalami agama. Bukan senang nak tamatkan kontrak begitu sahaja. Kata David Teo kepada Mstar Online:-
Mula-mula Aeril kata mahu belajar agama dan kerana itu dia meminta saya untuk tamatkan kontrak lebih awal. Saya ni kalau bab-bab agama agak sensitif. Dan sebab itulah saya memenuhi permintaannya kerana menyokong langkah yang hendak diambilnya untuk melakukan sesuatu ke arah kebaikan. Tiba-tiba saya mendapat tahu dia membintangi sebuah filem di Hollywood pula. Dia sudah tidak memenuhi apa yang dikatakannya sebelum ini.
Macam kena tipu hidup-hidup pun ada jugak. Namun bertambah respek lagi kerana David Teo tidak mahu mengambil sebarang tindakan terhadap Aeril. Kata David Teo lagi:-
Dia mahu tamatkan kontrak, saya sudah tunaikan janji saya. Walaupun saya diperdaya, tidak apa, balasannya akan datang kemudian. Saya pun tidak rugi apa-apa. Saya sudah biasa dengan artis-artis di bawah naungan MIG seperti kata pepatah ‘kacang lupakan kulit’. Dalam pada itu, ramai juga artis yang mengikut konsep kami bekerja telah pun berjaya dalam karier lakonan masing-masing
Tak apalah Mejar David Teo. Kalau orang nak tipu kita, macam-macam cara akan dilakukan. Kepada Aeril, semoga karier anda akan terus maju. Tak sabar nak menanti filem Hollywood lakonan Aeril. Pasti menarik!!!

Press Statement By DAP Secretary-General And MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 8.5.2013.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak should not ask why Chinese voters did not support MCA but whether even Malay voters would vote for a party led by such a “famous” leader like Chua Soi Lek? By continuing to blame Chinese voters or claim that Chinese voters were misled by DAP to vote against BN, Najib is showing contempt not only for democratic right of freedom of choice but also insulting the intelligence of all Malaysian voters.
The recent general elections saw a Malaysian tsunami causing PR to win the popular vote of 51% for the first time in history. Despite gathering more votes than BN from support by all communities, BN continues to blame the Chinese voters. The Chinese form only 25 per cent of Malaysia’s 29 million population of which less than half have registered to vote.
Of that number, BN polled 5,237,699 votes for the 222 federal seats to Pakatan Rakyat parties’ combined 5,623,984 ballots. The three-party pact of PKR, PAS and the DAP also surpassed BN in the state seats, pulling in 4,879,699 votes to the 13-member coalition’s 4,513,997 ballots.
When the Chinese only form 25% of the total voters but PR gains 51% of the popular vote how can BN pin the blame on the Chinese community? Who then are the remaining 26% of the voters if not Malays, Indians, Kadazans and Ibans? Or are these voters foreign Bangla voters?
Najib and BN should study why even Malay and Indian voters are not willing to vote for MCA. After all why would any decent Malay and Indian voter vote for MCA when it is led by such an infamous leader like Chua Soi Lek. Chua Soi Lek is so desperate that he forgets himself as a great politically liability to betray Malaysians by joining hands with UMNO to play the dangerous racial game of blaming BN’s loss of popular vote on the Chinese community.

Kenyataan media Setiausaha Agung DAP merangkap Ahli Parlimen Bagan, Lim Guan Eng di Kuala Lumpur pada 8 Mei 2013.
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Tidak Patut Bertanya Kenapa Pengundi Cina Tidak Menyokong MCA Malah Sepatutnya Bertanya Kenapa Pengundi Melayu Mahu Mengundi Sebuah Parti Yang Diketuai Pemimpin Yang Begitu Terkenal Seperti Chua Soi Lek?
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak tidak patut bertanya kenapa pengundi Cina tidak menyokong MCA malah sepatutnya bertnaya kenapa pengundi Melayu mahu mengundi sebuah parti yang diketuai pemimpin yang begitu terkenal seperti Chua Soi Lek? Dengan terus menyalahkan pengundi Cina dan mendakwa kononnya mereka ditipu oleh DAP untuk tidak mengundi BN, Najib memperlihatkan kebenciannya terhadap hak demokratik untuk memilih dengan bebas serta mencela intelek pengundi seluruh Malaysia.
Pilihanraya yang baru selesai menyaksikan tsunami Malaysia yang mengakibatkan Pakatan Rakyat memenangi 51% undi popular untuk pertama kali dalam sejarah. Meskipun PR mendapat lebih banyak undi berbanding BN dengan sokongan daripada semua komuniti kaun, BN terus menyalahkan pengundi Cina. Masyarakat Cina hanyalah 25% daripada populasi 29 juta rakyat Malaysia, di mana kurang daripada separuh darinya mendaftar sebagai pengundi.
Daripada jumlah tersebut, BN mendapat undi sebanyak 5,237,699 untuk kesemua 222 kerusi parlimen manakala Pakatan Rakyat menjana 5,623,984 undi. Pakatan tiga parti PKR, PAS dan DAP juga telah memintas BN di kerusi DUN, dengan mendapat 4,879,699 undi berbanding koalisi 13 partinya yang mendapat 4,513,997 undi.
Dalam keadaan masyarakat Cina hanyalah 25% daripada keseluruhan jumlah pengundi dan Pakatan Rakyat mendapat 51% daripada undi popular, bagaimana BN boleh menyalahkan komuniti masyarakat Cina? Siapa pula 26% bakinya jika bukan Melayu, India, Kadazan dan Iban? Atau adakah mereka ini pengundi warga asing dari Bangladesh?
Najib dan BN patut menyiasat kenapa pengundi Melayu dan India pun tidak ingin mengundi MCA. Malah kenapalah mana-mana Melayu dan India yang baik akan mengundi MCA sedangkan ia dipimpin oleh seorang pemimpin yang begitu terkenal seperti Chua Soi Lek. Chua Soi Lek begitu terdesak sehingga lupa dirinya adalah satu liabiliti politik dengan mengkhianati rakyat Malaysia apabila bersekongkol dengan UMNO memainkan permainan sentimen perkauman dengan menyalahkan masyarakat Cina atas kekalahan BN.

民主行动党秘书长兼峇眼区国会议员林冠英于2013年5月8日在吉隆坡发表声明：
拿督斯里纳吉不应该问为何华裔选民不支持马华，而是马来选民会不会投选一个由蔡细历这样“著名的”领袖 所领导的政党？
拿督斯里纳吉不应该问为何华裔选民不支持马华，而是马来选民会不会投选一个由蔡细历这样“著名的”领袖 所领导的政党？他们继续责怪华裔选民，或指华裔选民被行动党误导而反对国阵，纳吉很明显地是蔑视选择自由这项民主权利，然后继续污辱全体马来西亚选民的智慧。
最近的全国大选看出，马来西亚政治海啸让民联第一次取得 51%的得票率。国阵不但没有向各社群争取更多选票，反而继续责怪华裔选民。华裔人口只占全马2900万人口的25%，这些人当中少过半数是选民。
这个数目当中，国阵在222个国会议席中获得 523万7699张选票，而民联获得562万3984张选票。公正党、伊斯兰党及行动党三党在州议席的得票总数为487万9699张，比13党联盟的国阵得票451万3997还多。
当华裔选民只占总选民25%，但是民联却获得51%的多数票，国阵怎么能够怪罪华裔社群？如果其余的26%不是马来人、印度人、卡达山人及伊班人，那么他们又是谁？难道是外藉孟加拉选民？
纳吉和国阵应该研究为何就连马来人及印度人都不愿投选马华，而马华正被一名“著名的”领袖蔡细历领导。蔡细历如此绝望，以致他忘了自己是一名真正的政治负资产， 他与巫统联手玩弄种族游戏、背叛全体马来西亚选民，还因国阵失去多数票，而怪罪华人。

DAP expresses support for Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to be retained as Selangor Menteri Besar for a 2nd term. Tan Sri Khalid should continue as Menteri Besar after leading PR to a resounding victory at the recent general elections by winning a 2/3 majority with 44 out of 56 state seats in Selangor from the previous 36 seats.
Even though DAP won 15 seats together with PAS 15 and PKR’s 14, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim should be recognized for his integrity and stewardship of Selangor. This had enabled PR to beat back a determined effort by BN led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak himself to win back Selangor. DAP Selangor is also in full support of Tan Sri Khalid as the Selangor Menteri Besar.

Press Statement By Penang PR Chairman And Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Penang On8.5.2013
Penang PR increased its popular vote by 7.7% for state seats from 58% in 2008 general elections to 65.7% in 2013 general elections. BN received 32% of the popular vote, with the remainder spoilt and independent votes. The swing of 7.7% towards PR is large by normal electoral swings of 3-4%and proves Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak wrong that PR failed to get non-Chinese support.
For parliamentary seats PR increased its share by 4% from 63% in the 2008 general elections to 67% in 2013 general elections. BN received around 31% with the remainder spoilt votes.(see table below)
Penang PR % of Popular Vote GE2008 vs GE2013 (State and Parliament)
Including Spoilt votes
- Decrease in split voting from GE2008 to GE2013 shows that the majority of Penangites support Pakatan at the same rates at the parliament as well as the state levels
Penang PR # of Popular Vote GE2008 vs GE2013 (State and Parliament)
- Increase in # of votes at the state level is larger than the increase in # of votes as parliament. Shows increasing confidence in the capacity of the PR state government in Penang.
The increase in popular vote for PR by 7.7% can only be attributed to increasing support from all communities in Penang, Chinese, Indian and Malays. Even though there was a marked increase in support from Chinese and Indian voters, there was a slight increase in Malay support. Otherwise how could a state with more than 35% Malay voters give a 66-67% popular support for PR for both parliamentary and state seats? As it is impossible to win 100% support from both Indians and Chinese, the marked increase in popular vote and majorities as seen below can only come from slight increase in support from Malay voters.
Penang PR Majority GE2008 vs GE2013 (State and Parliament)
PR majorities increased by 86% for Parliamentary seats and a whopping 164% for state seats for this general elections as compared to 2008. The facts show clearly that PR won in Penang as a result of increased support from all 3 communities.
DAP regrets that both UMNO and MCA continues to try to racialise the issue as a Chinese tsunami when it is a Malaysian tsunami coming from all 3 races in Penang. This is a dangerous game of racial fire by BN as we have seen throughout the election campaign that it is Chinese BN supporters form the 1Malaysia groups that were beating up Chinese and Malay BN supporters that were beating up Malays.
Malays and non-Malays are not as stupid as BN thinks to believe this racial line by BN and will reject the politics of racial confrontation of BN and adopt the politics of collaboration of PR. I had said in my swearing-in speech yesterday that PR Penang state government 2.0 would be fair to all regardless of race, religion and political affiliation, including BN supporters.

Kenyataan Media oleh Pengerusi Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang merangkap Ketua Menteri, Lim Gua Eng di Pulau Pinang pada 8 Mei 2013.
Undi Popular Bagi Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang Meningkat Sebanyak 7.7% Untuk Kerusi DUN, Berbanding 58% Pada Pilihanraya Umum 2008 Kepada 65.7% Pada 2013; Membuktikan Bahawa Sangkaan Perdana Menteri Najib Razak Kononnya Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang Gagal Mendapat Sokongan Pengundi Bukan Cina Ternyata Salah.
Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang menyaksikan peningkatan undi popular sebanyak 7.7%, iaitu daripada 58% pada pilihanraya umum 2008 kepada 65.7% pada 2013. BN mendapat 32% undi popular, dengan bakinya merupakan undi rosak dan undi untuk calon bebas. Ayunan sebanyak 7.7% terhadap Pakatan Rakyat adalah besar bagi ayunan normal sebanyak 3-4% lantas membuktikan bahawa sangkaan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak kononnya Pakatan Rakyat gagal mendapat sokongan pengundi bukan Cina adalah sama sekali tidak benar.
Bagi kerusi-kerusi Parlimen, Pakatan Rakyat mencatatkan meningkatan 4%, aripada 63% pada tahun 2008 kepada 67% pada tahun 2013. BN pula mendapat 31% dengan bakinya adalah undi rosak. (lihat jadual)
PR P.Pinang % Undi Popular PRU2008 vs PRU2013 (DUN and Parlimen)
Termasuk undi rosak
- Pengurangan pecahan undi daripada PRU 2008 dengan PRU 2013 menunjukkan majoriti pengundi Pulau Pinang menyokong Pakatan Rakyat pada kadar serupa di peringkat Parlimen dan DUN.
PR P. Pinang # undi popular PRU2008 vs PRU2013 (DUN dan Parlimen)
- Pertambahan bilangan undi di peringkat DUN adalah lebih besar berbanding pertambahan bilangan undi Parlimen. Ini memperlihatkan peningkatan keyakinan terhadap kerajaan negeri Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang.
Pertambahan undi popular untuk Pakatan Rakyat sebanyak 7.7% boleh dikaitkan dengan pertambahan sokongan daripada semua komuniti di Pulau Pinang, dari kaum Cina, India dan Melayu. Walaupun terdapat pertambahan signifikan daripada pengundi Cina dan India, terdapat juga pertambahan dari kalangan pengundi Melayu. Jika tidak bagaimana mungkin sebuah negeri dengan 35% pengundi Melayu dapat memberikan 66-67% undi popular bagi Pakatan Rakyat di kedua-dua kerusi DUN dan Parlimen? Memandangkan adalah mustahil untuk mendapat sokongan 100% dari kedua-dua kaum India dan Cina, pertambahan undi popular dan majoriti seperti yang boleh dilihat di bawah hanya boleh didapati daripada peningkatan sokongan pengundi Melayu.
Undi Majoriti PR P. Pinang PRU2008 vs PRU2013 (DUN dan Parlimen)
Majoriti Pakatan Rakyat bertambah sehingga 86% bagi kerusi Parlimen dan sehingga 164% bagi kerusi DUN untuk PRU kali ini berbanding tahun 2008. Fakta menunjukkan dengan jelas bahawa Pakatan Rakyat menang di Pulau Pinang lantaran meningkatnya sokongan daripada ketiga-tiga komuniti kaum.
DAP kesal dengan sikap UMNO dan MCA yang terus cuba membangkitkan isu perkauman dengan kononnya wujud tsunami Cina sedangkan sebenarnya ia adalah tsunami rakyat Malaysia daripada kesemua tiga kaum terbesar di Pulau Pinang. Permainan api perkauman yang dimainkan oleh BN ini sangat bahaya memandangkan kita telah melihat di sepanjang tempoh kempen bahawa sebenarnya kumpulan-kumpulan penyokong BN berketurunan Cina daripada persatuan-persatuan 1Malaysia yang bertindak kasar terhadap kaum Cina sendiri, manakala penyokong Melayu BN yang bertindak kasar terhadap orang Melayu.
Orang Melayu dan orang bukan Melayu bukanlah sebodoh yang disangkakan BN sehingga boleh termakan sentimen perkauman yang dimainkan BN, dan mereka pastikanya akan menolak politik konfrontasi perkauman BN dan menerima politik kolaborasi Pakatan Rakyat. Saya telah menyebut dalam ucapan majlis angkat sumpah saya semalam bahawa Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang 2.0 akan berlaku adil kepada semua tanpa mengira kaum, agama dan pendirian politik, termasuk mereka yang menyokong BN.

槟州民联主席兼槟州首席部长林冠英于2013年5月8日在槟州发表声明：
槟州民联在2008年大选的得票率是58%，2013年大选增加至65.7%，增加了7.7%，证明首相拿督斯里纳吉指民联不获非华裔支持是错误的言论。
槟州民联在2008年大选的得票率是58%，2013年大选增加至65.7%，增加了7.7%。国阵32%的得票率还包含了废票和独立人士的得票，7.7%摆向民联的得票增加是巨大数字，正常选举票源波动于3%至4%之间，这证明首相拿督斯里纳吉指民联不获非华裔支持是错误的言论。
在国会议席方面，民联从2008年大选的63%增加了4%支持率，达到67%，国阵的31%支持率还包括废票。（以下得票率图表）
槟州民联在2008年大选和2013年大选得票率的对比（州与国会议席）
包括废票
-2013年大选的得票率增加，显示大多数槟城选民支持民联国会议席和州议席的候选人。
2008年大选和2013年大选，支持槟州民联的合格选票对比（州与国会议席）
槟州民联
- 州议席和国会议席的选票都相对增加，显示选民对槟州民联政府能力的信心提高。
民联增加7.7%得票支持率，证明民联获得槟州广大社群的支持，包括华裔、印裔和马来人，虽然华裔和印裔支持率明显增加，但马来支持票也略有提高，否则超过35%马来选民的槟州，如何在国会和州议席获得超过66%至67%的支持率？要获得100%华印裔的支持是不合能的，以下图表证明马来选民对民联的支持率提高。
槟州民联的多数票，2008年大选对比2013年大选（州与国会议席）
相比2008年大选，民联在国会议席的多数票增加了86%，州议席增加高达164%，民联的胜利清楚说明民联在槟州获得3大民族的支持。
巫统和马华将大选成绩形容为华裔海啸，民主行动党对他们继续玩弄种族课题感到遗憾， 事实上这是一场全民海啸。国阵已在种族课题上点火，这是危险的游戏，整个竞选期间，我们看到一马组织的国阵华裔支持者殴打华裔，而国阵马来人支持者殴打马来人。
马来人和非马来人并非国阵想象的愚蠢，会相信国阵主导的种族路线，人民会拒绝国阵的种族政治对抗，人民将接受民联采取的政治合作。我在昨天宣誓就职致词时已说，槟州民联政府2.0将公平对待人民，不分种族、宗教和政治派系，包括国阵支持者。

(On the set of Buddyz 2, with the iconic kombi van and some yellow umbrellas. The guy in yellow and seated in the background is actor Shaheizy Sam, reading the script)
Last year, I made a passing mention that I was involved in a TV shoot for a series of 5-minute episodes called Buddyz. The series started airing last June.
In the past few weeks I have been preparing for Season 2 of Buddyz, which stars Alif Satar, Syed Ali, Eliza Razak and Wawa Zainal, including (numerous) special appearances from Shaheizy Sam (the guy is doing multiple roles, like Eddie Murphy in the 80s).
For this shoot (and many after that), I decided to use a Blackmagic Cinema Camera that I bought literally just a few days before :D
The shoot started on May 1st. Labour Day. Most were having a holiday while we started work.
This was the very first shot of the entire shoot.
May 2nd. Day 2. We were shooting around the Damansara Perdana area.
That was 3 days before General Elections. The sight of the flag made me feel a little patriotic.
I always wanted to try a Snorricam shot. I finally got to do it.
Once again, like the previous season, Elliza Razak and Shaheizy Sam shared the most screen time. Their chemistry is already there, as director, my job was to set up the scenes wonderfully for them to work their magic.
I decided to scatter some yellow umbrellas around the park to make the scene more awesome.
Day 4... well, Day 4 was a hectic shoot where started from 7am to 7pm. There was a live audience. I'll just share some of their tweets.
(they even got to hang out with the cast members)
Jom sarapan dulu! #buddyz #BuddyzSam @putra87 @yayannnnb @fuzzhafira @annanuarr @shaheizy_sam @melakaboy twitter.com/DiGi_Youths/st…

#buddyz shoot today with #BuddyzSam! @shaheizy_sam and casts are ridiculously fun and funny! =D twitter.com/kyension/statu…

Not just there to give @shaheizy_sam moral support, #BuddyzSam got to join him on screen as well. Lucky!! twitter.com/kyension/statu…
— Kok Yen Staci Tan (@kyension) May 4, 2013
There were even (quite a lot of photos) posted on Facebook.
Tweets of those events had the hashtag #BuddyzSam
It's fascinating.
May 5th. We had a break. It was the 13th Malaysian General Elections. Mom and I went to vote. But that's a different story for another day. If ever.
May 6th. Back to work. No photos. Post-election fatigue.
May 7th. Yesterday. Day 6 of shoot.
Continued shooting in a kampung house. Sometimes, I'm really amazed by the generosity of our Malay brethren, they are always hospitable and agreeable when lending out their homes for film shoots.
Here's Alif Satar, Wawa Zainal and Elliza Razak, waiting for the next shot.
And then, Syed Ali and Elliza Razak in an emotionally intense scene.
Night came. It started raining heavily.
I had to put on the raincoat.
Slightly after midnight, we were finally done. Here's Wawa Zainal and Elliza Razak, shooting the last scene of the night.
Groupon, the famous group buying website, released the Groupon HD app for iPad to Malaysian shoppers. “We are always looking to bring value to our customers and we hope that with the addition of our iPad app, our customers will be able to enjoy a better shopping experience with us,” said Rafiq Razali, Country General [...]

First and foremost, before answering this question about whether should you invest in gold, let’s examine what’s worth investing?
What’s worth investing?
If you read any of the book written by the famous financial guru, Robert T.Kiyosaki (stated in an interview with Jason Hartman in 2011 that he owns over 1400 units of apartment houses) you will be familiar with the term “assets” and “liabilities”. He said that asset is something that produce income and put money in your pocket regularly.
For example, your money in fixed deposit generate interest income every month. Therefore, you can call it an asset. How about owning a company shares? The company might declare dividend regularly, and you get a dividend income by owning its share. You can call it an asset. How about a property? It is an asset if you rent it out and get rental income every month. But if you are staying in it, Robert says that the property you are currently staying in is a liability. The logic is simple – if there is no income generated from the property, it is a liability.
Apparently, you would like to invest all your money into assets. Asset generates income so your money will grow.
Now by understanding what asset is about, according to Robert, who is currently the best financial educator most of us know, let’s examine gold as an asset class. Is gold consider an “asset”? Does it produce regular income?
Is Gold Considered an Asset because it has value?
Recently, I hosted an online training session, where I answered a bunch of questions submitted by my readers. During that session, I asked the live audience this question too. Can you consider gold as an “asset”? The response is a mixture of yes and no. About half of the audience said it is an asset. There rest said “no”. What about you?
You can watch the full webinar replay here (only for Premium Webinar Members)
One of my audience said that gold is an asset because it has “value”. Well, if you think deeper, everything has a value. If there is an old mobile phone being stored somewhere in your room, which is not used anymore, is it consider an asset too merely because it has value? You can sell the unused phone and convert it into cash. It definitely has value. But you can’t say that it is an asset, according to our understanding just now. We can’t qualify it as an asset because the used mobile phone doesn’t generate income.
Is Gold Considered an Asset because it appreciates in value?
Then, another audience replied that gold can be consider an asset because it appreciates in value. Well, what do you think about this now?
You can make money by buying gold because when you buy it at a low price, you might be able to sell it at a higher price. That converts into profit due to gold’s value appreciation over time. Is this true? Does gold always go up in price?
Now, I would like you to think about the reasons why something appreciates in value? It boils down to the concept of supply and demand. If there are more people demanding for a certain commodity, the seller can sell at a higher price.
Why is there a higher demand of certain things in this world? This drives up the price when there is not enough supply to cope with the market demand. Demand is high for certain resources when it is useful, producing income, but scarce. Gold appreciates in value whenever there is a higher demand of it.
Consider these two different things – a tenanted property versus gold. A well-located and well-maintained property in a highly populated town will always have demand for it. No doubt the property will appreciate in value because it is producing income. Tenants want the convenience of its location. Furthermore, all of us need a roof over our head.
Meanwhile, gold is still the same metal anywhere in the world. It might be scarce but it doesn’t produce income. Do you think the demand for it will always be there? Ask yourself honestly, can you live without gold? Can you carry on your daily life and live happily even if you don’t own any ounce of gold? I bet you can.
So, can you consider something as an “asset” just because it appreciates in value? I don’t think so.
Why is gold useful?
Gold might be useful as a currency insurance because people fear that currency depreciates whenever central banks print more money. That makes sense because if you want to store money somewhere (in a bank account, for instance), it might be better to store it as gold, or silver, or whatever commodities. As a currency insurance, gold can hedge against inflation, which technically means money depreciate in value.
Gold might be useful when you have to face doomsday. When countries go to war and currency is worthless, gold might become the medium of exchange like the old days. You can keep gold for these reasons.
But when it comes to investment, I would rather buy assets that generate incomes. Assets will always appreciate when it can generate incomes. It will appreciate even faster if the income generated from the same asset is higher and higher every year. As a summary, here is a well said comment from Jeffrey Cheah, a licensed professional estate planner:
“Gold has been a symbol of great value for ages. Over time it has been misinterpreted as an investment.”
When it comes to investment, we should all listen to Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha. He said,“Gold gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head”
Should You Invest in Gold? is a post from: KCLau.com
This is the question that has been circling in my puny brain these few days. All these while I thought Najib will redeem Barisan Nasional and himself after being appointed as the Prime Minister. Honestly I kinda admired and loved our Prime Minister...until yesterday. I kept on asking myself, "Is Najib being RACIST?" Why does the same man who has been pushing for 1Malaysia suddenly accused the Chinese of not supporting him and Barisan Nasional? I was really sad for I thought Najib was the only glimmer of light that link all Malaysians with his promise of equality for all. Now I know I was wrong.
Najib during happier moments.
My family and I really enjoyed his candid advertisement.
My family and I really enjoyed his candid advertisement.
Barisan Nasional's victory on the 5th of May was nothing for them to shout about and they, especially Najib, know that he has done terribly worse than his predecessor (Abdullah Badawi-I love him). So instead of blaming on himself for being a hesitant reformer, Najib conveniently pointed the fingers at the Chinese and blamed us for causing Barisan Nasional's victory to be weakened? Why Najib? I really didn't expect you to be so racist??? And blame us for your "defeat"?? Why can't you be a graceful loser?
How can you label us as Tsunami?
I thought we have the right to vote?
I thought we have the right to vote?
Najib had wrongfully claimed that all Chinese supporters have swung their supports towards the opposition causing Barisan Nasional to lose in a lot of urban areas. Najib said it was a 'CHINESE TSUNAMI' that had dented his credibility to be Malaysia's 6th elected Prime Minister. That statement alone is enough to prove that Najib has never sincerely think about the nobility of 1Malaysia. He wanted to blame it on the Chinese so that DAP's reputation would get a beating and justify his defeat. Turns out...Najib's reputation is on the tightrope right now.
How can you still put on that 1Malaysia pin
when you keep on making "racist" statements?
when you keep on making "racist" statements?
The truth is...it was not because of the Chinese...it was a "Multiracial Malaysian Tsunami" that had caused Najib and Barisan Nasional to falter in urban areas. 70% urban voters have REJECTED Najib and his Barisan Nasional. Professional analysts agreed with this shift. Those from urban areas regardless of whether they are Malay, Chinese or Indian...Malaysians are simply sick of the way Barisan Nasional is running the country at theirs expense. So why do Najib still wanna put the blame on ONE RACE only to cover his inability to garner more support?
The fact is most Malaysians have
REJECTED Najib and BN. Period.
It seems that the worse has come to WORST. Today...Malaysians across the country were shocked when UMNO's Utusan Malaysia front-paged the question, "Apa Lagi Cina Mahu" (What else to the Chinese want?). It was a ridiculous statement from a newspaper that is owned by UMNO. Indirectly it means UMNO is releasing this RACIST statement through Utusan Malaysia? The most shocking part is when Najib actually stood up and DEFENDED Utusan Malaysia's claim that we Chinese are being ungrateful! I was totally dumbfounded and I did not expect Najib to endorse this racist statement.
Utusan Malaysia has become really out of control with its racist remarks!
To hear this from Malaysia's prime minister is really hurtful. He should have stood up for us...and not rub more salts against our wounds! For the record: 53.29% of Malaysians supported Pakatan Rakyat...and only a meager 25% (if all Chinese) of them are Chinese. So...can't you read this Najib? Malaysians and not only Chinese, are rejecting Barisan Nasional for being corrupted and fraudulent! Please wake up before it is too late. You cannot keep on living in denial and put the blame on others.
You might think this is funny but I am sad because
I did look up to this guy to fix all the wrongs that have been done!
I did look up to this guy to fix all the wrongs that have been done!
P.S.: I hope Najib will repent and come clean about all the wrongdoings that he and Barisan Nasional has done, especially about the tainted 13th General Election. I hope Najib will be remembered for all the good things he has done and not something like this...

Press Conference Statement by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng After The Swearing-In Ceremony By Penang Governor At Sri Mutiara, Penang on 7.5.2013
We are extremely grateful to the people of Penang not only for proving that Penangites can neither be bought by the blatant and shameless money politics nor threatened with violence that had occurred in the last few days of the GE13 campaign in Penang. Clearly Penangites valued a government that performed and delivered over the last 5 years much more than those who only appeared during the last 5 days of the campaign to buy votes or threaten voters.
We are humbled and thank the people of Penang for their support. Just as we have delivered in the previous 5 years, we shall continue to do so for the next 5 years in preparing not only the future for the young but preparing the young for the future. We are prepared to build upon our successes to make Penang Cleaner, Greener, Safer and Healthier than ever.
5 years ago, we introduced clean governance based on the CAT principles of Competency, Accountability and Transparency. Through measures such as open competitive tenders, assets declarations, disallowing family members from doing business with the state government, we have managed to garner the largest investments ever in the history of Penang. In the last 5 years from 2008-2012, we received RM 36.1 billion in investments, compared to only RM 18.7 billion in the preceding 5 years from 2003-2007.
Through CAT, the PR state government was able to achieve surpluses every year since 2008, reduce debt by 95% and increase state assets from RM800 million in 2008 to RM1.2 billion in today. From the savings and surpluses we achieved, we shall abolish poverty this year by topping up monthly the income of all families who receive less than RM770 a month, continue with yearly cash aid to schools, senior citizens, single mothers, the disabled, school students, university students and trishaw pullers. From our feedback, the fear that BN will abolish these popular programmes caused many, especially Malays, to reject BN and support PR.
On the back of clear increased support amongst Chinese and Indian voters coupled with the slight increase in Malay support, PR Penang recorded an increase in popular votes from 63% to 66% and won all our seats with increased majorities. PR Penang managed to win an additional state seat in Seberang Jaya, increasing the 29 state seats won to 30. PR will not follow BN’s racial games of bashing the Chinese voters and make the Chinese community scapegoats for BN’s loss. Instead, PR will treat all Penangites fairly regardless of race, religion and political background.
Before I was sworn in for my second term as Chief Minister, I had visited Kampung Melayu in Air Itam, my constitutency in the Indian settlement of Ujong Batu in Bagan and Air Putih. The PR Penang state government 2.0 will be fair to all, even towards those who supported BN.
Propose An Annual RM 100 Golden Mother Programme To Record Our Appreciation To All Homemakers Below 60 Who Do Not Work But Look After Their Children From 2014 Onwards.
If PR had won Putrajaya, a PR Federal government would have given RM600 annually to all homemakers who did not work so that they can take care of the families. This general election showed the power of women, many who voted for the first time enthusiastically for justice, freedom, truth, integrity and good governance. In appreciation for their support, I shall propose a Golden Mother programme of RM 100 annually to all homemakers below 60 who do not work but look after their children and families from 2014 onwards.
All Pakatan Rakyat State Assemblypersons Shall Publicly Declare Their Assets Annually Certified By An Accounting Firm.
We will continue to further enhance CAT governance, including extending public asset declarations annually to all elected reps certified by an accounting firm, instead of confining it only to the Chief Minister and EXCO members.
We shall continue with our pro-growth, pro-jobs and pro-poor policies, especially empowering the SMEs, halal industry and expand our microcredit programme with an additional RM5 million. We will also encourage the growth of the aquaculture industry by abolishing boating licenses and provide nets on an annual basis to inshore fishermen. Apart from existing tourism projects, we want to improve the hospitality service by giving an annual good service incentive of R600 to all taxi-drivers.
We will seek to establish Penang as a center of excellence for science and technology through the Penang Science Cluster and the RM25 million Tech-Dome initiative. We will also make Penang a regional education hub by building Penang Learning Centers in all districts and attracting world-class educational institutions such as the Asian Women’s Leadership University (AWLU). Our ultimate goal will always be to build human talent by training, retraining, retaining and attracting new talent.
The Penang state government proposes to work with the Federal government on the Penang Transport Masterplan to establish a public transport system and expand existing road networks to ensure that our children do not grow up as a traffic jam generation. Not just the 4 major highways in Penang but also new roadwork projects in Seberang Perai, such as Jalan Bukit Minyak and Jambatan Kampung Tanjung Berembang.
In terms of housing, we will continue the RM500 million Affordable Housing Fund by building 22,000 units of affordable quality housing in George Town, Teluk Kumbar, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, Batu Kawan and Juru, covering all 5 districts.
Finally, making Penang liveable by being clean, green safe and healthy remains top on our agenda. We are now the most liveable in Malaysia and fourth best place to retire in the world. We will continue to preserve and strengthen George Town as a UNESCO World Heritage City as well as in arts and culture. Being the only green state practicing the “No Plastic Bags Campaign”, achieving the highest recycling rate in Malaysia at 24%, we will now target to achieve a recycling rate of 40% as well as reduce the generation of waste per capita by 50% by 2020.
The state government also plans to increase the number of CCTVs, as well as street lights to ensure that Penang keeps its status as the safest state in Malaysia. We will continue with our agenda of returning the third vote to Penang in order to empower local democracy through local government elections.
The people of Penang have spoken loud and clear and given an unqualified endorsement towards the people-centric policies of PR. There will be no room for cronies in Penang. Let us all unite to make Penang the No.1 liveable state in Malaysia.

Kenyataan Media oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng selepas isitadat mengangkat sumpah oleh Yang Di Pertua Negeri Pulau Pinang di Sri Mutiara, Pulau Pinang pada 7 Mei 2013.
Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang 2.0 Akan Terus Menjadi Cekap, Bersih Dan Adil Kepada Semua Tanpa Mengira Kaum, Agama Dan Paling Penting Sekali Mereka Yang Menyokong BN.
Kami amat berterima kasih kepada rakyat Pulau Pinang kerana bukan sahaja telah membuktikan bahawa orang Pulau Pinang tidak boleh dibeli dengan politik wang tanpa segan silu, atau diugut dengan keganasan yang terjadi dalam hari-hari terakhir kempen Pilihanraya Umum ke 13 di Pulau Pinang. Jelaslah bahawa orang Pulau Pinang menghargai kerajaan yang telah menunjukkan prestasi yang cemerlang dalam tempoh lima tahun lalu, lebih daripada mereka yang hanya menunjukkan muka pada lima hari terakhir kempen PRU yang lalu untuk membeli undi dan mengugut pengundi.
Kami merasa amat rendah diri dan mengucapkan terima kasih kepada rakyat Pulau Pinang untuk sokongan yang telah ditunjukkan. Sepertimana perkhidmatan kami lima tahun lalu, begitulah jua kami akan teruskan untuk lima tahun berikutnya demi mempersiapkan masa depan untuk generasi muda serta mempersiapkan anak muda untuk masa depan. Kami bersedia untuk terus membina daripada kejayaan lalu bagi membentuk Pulau Pinang yang lebih bersih, hijau, selamat dan sihat berbanding masa lalu.
Lima tahun lalu, kami telah memperkenalkan prinsip urustadbir bersih berlandaskan prinsip CAT iaitu cekap, akauntabel dan telus. Melalui pendekatan-pendekatan seperti tender terbuka, pengisytiharan harta, menghalang ahli keluarga daripada berurus niaga dengan kerajaan negeri, kita telah berjaya untuk mendapat pelaburan terbesar dalam sejarah Pulau Pinang. Dalam lima tahun lalu sejak 2008 ke 2012, kita telah menerima pelaburan sebanyak RM 36.1 bilion, berbanding dengan hanya RM18.7 bilion dalam lima tahun sebelum itu pada 2003 sehingga 2007.
Melalui prinsip CAT, Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat telah berjaya mencatat lebihan setiap tahun sejak 2008, mengurangkan hutang negeri sehingga 95% dan menambah aset negeri daripada RM800 juta pada tahun 2008 sehingga RM1.2 bilion hari ini. Daripada simpanan dan lebihan yang telah dicapai, kita akan menghapuskan kemiskinan tegar tahun ini dengan mencukupkan pendapatan isi rumah setiap keluarga yang mendapat kurang daripada RM770 sebulan, meneruskan bantuan tahunan kepada sekolah-sekolah, warga emas, ibu tunggal, orang kelainan upaya, pelajar sekolah, mahasiswa dan penarik beca. Daripada maklumbalas yang kami terima, kerisauan bahawa BN akan membatalkan semua program poplar ini mengakibatkan ramai, terutamanya orang Melayu, menolak BN dan menyokong Pakatan Rakyat.
Di sebalik peningkatan jelas sokongan pengundi masyaraktat Cina dan India beserta dengan peningkatan sokongan orang Melayu, Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang menyaksikan peningkatan undi popular daripada 63% kepada 66% serta menang di kesemua kerusi dengan majoriti yang bertambah. Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang turut berjaya memenangi tambahan kerusi DUN di Seberang Jaya, menambahkan bilangan kerusi DUN daripada 29 ke 30. Pakatan Rakyat tidak akan mengikuti permainan perkauman BN dengan menghentam pengundi Cina dan menjadikan komuniti Cina sebagai kambing hitam kepada kekalahan BN. Malah, Pakatan Rakyat akan melayan kesemua rakyat Pulau Pinang secara adil, tanpa mengira keturunan, agama dan kepercayaan politik.
Sebelum saya mengangkat sumpah sebagai Ketua Menteri untuk penggal kedua, saya telah melawat Kampung Melayu di Air Itam, kawasan saya yang terdapat penempatan masyarakat India di Ujong Batu dalam kawasan Bagan serta Air Putih. Kerajaan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang 2.0 akan berlaku adil kepada semua, termasuk mereka yang telah menyokong BN.
Cadangan Bayaran Tahunan RM100 Program Ibu Emas Bagi Menunjukkan Penghargaan Kepada Semua Suri Rumah Berusia 60 Tahun Ke Bawah Yang Tidak Bekerja Tetapi Mengasuh Anak-Anak Mereka Dari Tahun 2014.
Seandainya Pakatan Rakyat telah berjaya ke Putrajaya, sebuah kerajaan persekutuan Pakatan Rakyat akan memberi bayaran RM600 setahun kepada semua surirumah yang tidak bekerja, supaya mereka boleh menjaga keluarga mereka dengan baik. Pilihanraya Umum kali ini telah menunjukkan kuasa kaum wanita, ramai darinya yang mengundi buat kali pertama demi keadilan, kebebasan, kebenanaran, integriti dan pentadbiran yang baik. Sebagai penghargaan kepada sokongan mereka, saya akan mencadangkan program Ibu Emas untuk memberikan RM100 setahun kepada semua suri rumah di bawah umur 60 tahun yang tidak bekerja tetapi mengasuh anak-anak dan keluarga mereka, mulai tahun 2014.
Semua Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Pakatan Rakyat Pulau Pinang Mesti Mengisytiharkan Harta Secara Tahunan Dengan Disahkan Oleh Sebuah Firma Perakaunan.
Kita akan terus memperbaiki prinsip urus tadbir CAT, termasuk meneruskan pengisytiharan harta kepada umum pada setiap tahun terhadap semua wakil rakyat serta disahkan oleh sebuah firma perakaunan, berbanding hanya mengehadkannya hanya kepada Ketua Menteri dan ahli EXCO.
Kita akan meneruskan polisi-polisi pro-pertumbuhan, pro-kerja, dan pro-miskin terutamanya memperkasakan perusahaan kecil dan sederhana, industri halal dan memperluaskan program mikro-kredit dengan dana tambahan sebanyak RM5 juta. Kita juga akan menggalakkan pertumbuhan industri akuakultur dengan memansuhkan lesen bot dan menyediakan pukat dan jala secara tahunan kepada nelayan perairan pantai. Di samping projek pelancongan sedia ada, kita ingin memperbaiki perkhidmatan hospitaliti dengan memberikan insentif perkhidmatan baik secara tahunan sebanyak RM600 kepada semua pemandu teksi.
Kita akan berusaha untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang sebagai pusat kecemerlangan sains dan teknologi melalui Penang Science Cluster dan inisiatif Tech-Dome bernilai RM25 juta. Kita juga akan menjadikan Pulau Pinang sebagai hub pendidikan serantau dengan membina Penang Learning Centers di semua daerah dan menarik minat institusi pendidikan bertaraf dunia seperti Universiti Kepimpinan Wanita Asia (Asian Women;s Leadership Universiti, AWLU). Sasaran utama kita adalah sentiasa untuk membina bakat manusia melalui latihan, latihan-semula, pengekalan dan penarikan bakat baru.
Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang bercadang untuk bekerjasama dengan Kerajaan Persekutuan tentang Pelan Induk Pengangkutan Pulau Pinang bagi membangunkan sistem pengangkutan awam serta mengembangkan rangkaian jalanraya sedia ada demi memastikan anak-anak kita tidak membesar sebagai ‘generasi kesesakan lalulintas’. Bukan sahaja untuk empat lebuhraya utama di Pulau Pinang tetapi juga untuk kerja-kerja jalanraya di Seberang Perai seperti di Jalan Bukit Minyak dan Jambatan Kampung Tanjung Berembang.
Dari aspek perumahan, kita akan meneruskan dana rumah mampu milik bernilai RM500 juta dengan membina 22,000 unit rumah mampu bilik yang berkualiti di George Town, Teluk Kumbar, Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, Batu Kawan dan Juru, melingkupi lima kawasan.
Akhir sekali, agenda utama kita masih lagi untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang lebih boleh didiami dengan menjadikkannya lebih bersih, hijau, selamat dan sihat. Kita sekarang adalah negeri paling boleh didiami di Malaysia dan menduduki tangga keempat sebagai tempat terbaik untuk bersara di seluruh dunia. Kita akan terus mengekal dan memperkukuh George Town sebagai bandar warisan dunia yang diiktiraf UNESCO termasuk dari segi seni dan budaya. Sebagai satu-satunya negeri ‘hijau’ yang menjalankan kempen anti beg plastik serta mencapai kadar kitar semula tertinggi di Malaysia pada 24%, kita kini akan mensasarkan untuk mencapai kadar kitar semula 40% sambil mengurangkan penghasilan sampah per kapitan sebanyak 50% menjelang tahun 2020.
Kerajaan Negeri juga bercadang untuk menambahkan bilangan kamera litar tertutup (CCTV) serta lampu jalan bagi memastikan Pulau Pinang kekal sebagai negeri paling selamat di Malaysia. Kita akan meneruskan agenda untuk mengembalikan undi ketiga di Pulau Pinang bagi memperkasakan demokrasi tempatan melalui pilihanraya kerajaan tempatan.
Rakyat Pulau Pinang telah menyatakan dengan jelas dan memberikan sokongan tanpa syarat terhadap polisi mesra rakyat Pakatan Rakyat. Pulau Pinang tidak akan memberi ruang kepada kroni. Marilah kita semua bersatu untuk menjadikan Pulau Pinang negeri nombor 1 paling boleh didiami di Malaysia.

槟州首席部长林冠英于2013年5月7日在州元首府宣誓就职后记者会上发表声明：
槟州民联政府2.0将是一个能干、廉洁、不分种族、宗教公平对待全民，甚至是那些支持国阵的人士。
我们感激槟州人民，因为你们不只证明槟州人民不会被猖狂及无耻的金钱政治收买，也不被过去几天的暴力政治威胁。槟州人民珍惜民联政府过去五年的表现，不为那些只在竞选期出现五天来买票及威胁选民的不良分子所动。
我们感到谦卑及想要感谢槟州人民的支持。正如过去5年我们所做的，我们会继续做多五年，不只是为年轻一代的未来做好准备，也要为了未来让年轻一代做好准备。我们准备构筑我们的成就，让槟州更加干净、绿意、安全及健康。
五年前，我们推介了廉洁施政，秉持能干、公信及透明。我们推行各种措施如公开招标、公布民选高官财产、禁止高官家庭成员与州政府做生意，我们在招商引资方面为槟城取得最高投资额。过去五年（2008－2012），我们获得361亿令吉的投资，之前的五年（2003－2007年）的投资额只有187亿令吉。
在能干、公信及透明施政方针下，民联州政府自2008年开始财政预算年年有余，债务减免95%，州资产从2008年的8亿令吉，增加至今天12亿令吉。从我们累积的储蓄及盈余，我们要在今年扫除贫穷。补贴那些月入低于770令吉的家庭，继续每年拨款给学校、乐龄人士、单亲妈妈、残障人士、学生、大学生及三轮车夫。从我们收集的民意得知，很多人，尤其是马来人担心国阵会废除这些措施，所以他们拒绝国阵，选择民联。
从我们增加的华裔及印裔选票加上微微增加的马来选票，槟州民联的得票率从63%增加到66%，我们的议席所赢的多数票皆增加。 槟州民联成功在威省赢多一个州议席，让我们的州议席从29增加至30席。民联不会像国阵那样玩弄种族游戏，在国阵败选后，斥责华裔选民。相反地，民联政府会公平对待各族人民，不论他们是什么种族、宗教及政治背景。
在我宣誓我的第二个首长任期之前，我探访过亚依淡甘榜马来友，我在峇眼选区的印裔区Ujong Batu及亚依淡选区。槟州民联州政府2.0将会公平对待各族人民，甚至是那些支持国阵的人。
建议在2014年开始推行“黄金妈妈计划”回馈金计划，每年派发100令吉回馈给每一名60岁以下的家庭主妇，他们没有出外工作而是全职照顾家庭及孩子。
如果民联入主布城，民联联邦政府会发出600令吉给每一名没有出外工作、全职照顾孩子的家庭主妇。这场选举展现了妇女的力量，她们当中很多人第一次热衷地参与投票，追求公义、自由、真相、廉洁及良好施政。为了感激这批妇女的支持，我提议在2014年开始推行“黄金妈妈计划”回馈金计划，每年派发100令吉回馈给每一名60岁以下的家庭主妇，他们没有出外工作而是全职照顾家庭及孩子。
所有的民联州议员都必须每年公布财产，并由合格会计公司核准。
我们将会继续强化能干、公信及透明施政，包括将公布高官财产措施扩大至所有民选州议员，并由合格会计公司核准，不只是首长及行政议员而已。
我们要继续亲成长、亲就业机会及扶贫政策，特别是加强中小型企业、清真食品工业、扩大微型贷款增加500万令吉。我们也会鼓励水产业的成长，废除船业执照，并且每年提供渔网给近海渔民。除了现有的旅游计划，我们也要改进交通接送服务，每年派发600令吉的良好服务奖掖给全体德士司机。
我们也要通过槟州科学群体及2500万令吉兴建槟州科技中心，打造槟州成为卓越的科学及工艺中心。我们也会让槟州成为区域教育中心，在各县兴建槟州学习中心，以及吸引世界级教育机构如亚洲女性领袖大学（AWLU）。我们的终极目标是通过培训、再培训，留住 人才、吸引人才。
在槟州交通大蓝图上，槟州政府提议与联邦政府合作， 打造一个良好的公共交通系统，扩大现有的道路，让我们的孩子不会成为“塞车世代”。槟州不只将拥有四条主要高速公路，也会在威省开展新的道路工程，如武吉敏惹及甘榜丹绒柏仁邦大桥。
房屋方面，我们会继续运用5亿令吉的可负担房屋基金，在乔治市、直落坤巴、北海、大山脚、峇都加湾及柔府，兴建2万2000个 单位，涵盖五个县属。
最后，我们要让槟州继续做个净绿安康的宜居地。我们是马来西亚最宜居的城市，也是全世界第四个退休的好去处。我们会继续保留及加强乔治市做为联合国科教文世界遗产城、以及它的文化及艺术光芒。做为全马唯一一个推行无塑料袋运动的州属，我们的再循环率达24%全马第一，我们现在放眼在2020年达致40%的再循环率，并且把每人的垃圾产量减少50%。
州政府也计划增加闭路电视、街灯，确保槟州继续成为全马最安全的州属。我们会继续我们的议程，通过地方议会选举，归还第三票给槟州人民，赋权地方民主。
槟州人民已经大声地、明确地表达他们对民联以民为本政策的无条件支持。槟州再也容不下朋党。让我们团结起来，打造槟城成为全马第一名的宜居州。
林冠英

At least 60,000 confirmed Bangladeshi were flown in from various places to help Najib to vote for Barisan Nasional for yesterday's General Election. Previously a lot thought it was merely rumours, but many...were dumbfounded when they, themselves, witnessed the Bangladeshi lined up behind them, waiting to vote. BUT ONLY MALAYSIANS CAN VOTE RIGHT? These Bangladeshi have become "Malaysians" thanks to our idiotic Najib and Barisan Nasional who gave them free Identification Card to vote! The worse part is...even our Election Commission who is supposed to be clean and fair let these Bangladeshi vote (several times)! And the worst, worst part is...the police who is supposed to protect us, protected these Bangladeshi to vote instead! WHAT??? How can Najib and Barisan Nasional commit such an act of treachery to us~the real Malaysians?
How come Bangladeshi can VOTE for our future?
Najib has already foreseen that we-the REAL Malaysians, won't be voting for him. That was why he hired so many Bangladeshi to be "Malaysians". So now you still think that the man who has been championing about 1Malaysia-equality for all, gives a damn about you or me? NO. This devilish Najib doesn't give a damn about you or me (the real Malaysians), regardless or whether you are a Malay, Chinese, Indian or whatever colour that you have. To Najib and his Barisan Nasional minnions, he only cares about votes that will make him stay in power and continue to vacuum more money into his own pockets! To Najib these Bangladeshi are the "loyal Malaysians" that they need.
The police escorting the Bangladeshi to vote.
Are they supposed to protect us the Malaysians?
Think about it...if today Najib and Barisan Nasional can employ 60, 000 Bangladeshi to be voters in General Election...they can make more Bangladeshi to be Malaysians and give them citizenship rights that we have. Imagine one day there are 3 millions, 4 million or maybe 5 million Bangladeshi roaming the streets in Malaysia proudly as Malaysians. And they can do whatever hell that they want just like us-buy our already limited houses, get cheap medical care, use our subsidized petrol etc. Why? Because they are true, blue "Malaysians" mah~thanks to Najib and Barisan Nasional!
Offer letter for Bangladeshi to offer to vote for Barisan Nasional!
Honestly...I, myself, feel like taking the streets to whack all these Bangladeshi who helped Najib to vote. Some of you might say, they have been exploited and used as tools to help the malicious Barisan Nasional. I don't agree with this point because these ill-advised Bangladeshi themselves were greedy enough to accept money from Barisan Nasional to vote. So don't try to be a saint and ask us Malaysians to have mercy on these opportunists, brainless Bangladeshi! Then again the real culprit is NAJIB!!!
"Jib~kor~berapa lagi Bangala kena bawak?"
"Jib~kor~berapa lagi Bangala kena bawak?"
We-the Malaysians know the truth!
I hope this wicked Najib, his wick-wearing wife-Rosmah, and the corrupted Barisan Nasional will get their deserved retribution as soon as possible! I believe in Karma...sooner or later the bad deeds you have done will get back to you...albeit a bit later. I feel so bad for their children and grandchildren...I hope they will repent and admit their mistakes as soon as possible..fat chance huh just like Rosmah. Ha :D So karma it will be. See you Najib, Rosmah and all the other ill-gotten Barisan Nasional maggots in Final Destination 7! Kaput!
Najib...Malaysia's Number 1# Traitor!
