911 is here once more... Tribute to the three Malaysians who perished

911

By Emmanuel Surendra

9/11 is here. Much has been said about it. And I don’t think we’d need another post telling us the logic of it or a comparative post on post 9/11 thoughts and the Malaysian situation or a delusional one that still lingers in conspiracy. Here’s an interesting testimony found here via yangsquare.com. It goes something like this:

PSM kecam sistem kehakiman Malaysia gagal bela HAK TANAH ORANG ASAL

Oleh S. Arutchelvan, S/usaha Agung PSM

Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) kesal dengan tindakan Mahkamah Persekutuan yang tidak berani membuat keputusan mengiktiraf hak tanah adat masyarakat Orang Asal di dalam kes yang difailkan oleh Bato Bagi dan lima lagi. Keputusan yang dibuat oleh Ketua Hakim Negara Tun Zaki Azmi, Hakim Mahkamah Besar Sabah dan Sarawak Tan Sri Richard Malanjum dan Hakim Mahkamah Persekutuan, Datuk Seri Md Raus Shariff membuktikan sekali lagi sistem kehakiman negara ini gagal memberi keadilan kepada masyarakat tertindas.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah State Assembly Speaker, Salleh Said Keruak, firmly believes that Sabah and Malaysia are on the right track to achieving state and national targets.

To him both state and nation have already seen tremendous developments.

But he was just as quick to point out that there was still much more that could be done to meet the desires of Sabahans in general.

Demands for seats increase not as rational as they sound

By Daniel John Jambun
We have noticed that for a while now there has been a lot of proposal to increase the number of parliamentary and state seats, with most of the opposition as well as the ruling coalition members supporting the move. Only Datuk Lajim Ukin has so far expressed disagreement with his colleagues’ proposal. He said this doesn’t make sense because the number of voters in some seats are too small, e.g. his Beaufort parliamentary constituency is only about 28,000 while the Sipitang and Kimanis parliamentary constituencies have only about 22,000 each.
