Malaysia in 5th place for illicit financial flows from developing countries over the decade ending 2009

The Developing World lost US$903 billion in illicit outflows in 2009, despite the massive financial crisis which rocked the global economy in late 2008. The capital outflows stem from crime, corruption, tax evasion, and other illicit activity.
 
The report finds that the the vast majority of the drop from US$1.55 trillion to US$903 billion was due to a decrease in volumes of international trade, foreign direct invest, and new external loans, rather than any government action. From 2000 to 2009, developing countries lost US$8.44 trillion to illicit outflows.
 

Star respond to PKR man accusation

KENINGAU : Well PKR now sounds more like its brother UMNO. Star never make any unrealistic promises to the people of Sabah in contrast to what Risham Mail of PKR had accused us.

It is our duty to tell the people the real history about Malaysia formation and how we were once an independent country, eventually reduced to just one of the 12 states in Malaysia.

Star calls on locals to reject ‘parti parti Malaya’

KOTA KINABALU: The State Reform Party (Star) has called on local voters to rise to the challenge and reject the “parti parti Malaya operating illegally” in Sabah and Sarawak with the Election Commission (EC) and the Registrar of Societies (RoS) turning a blind eye to the 1963 Malaysia Agreement.

The Borneo-based national party, at the same time, urged all local members of the parti parti Malaya “to come back to the right path lest they be accused of being willing to be proxies and stooges of people on the other side of the South China Sea”.

Umno ‘medicine’ killing Sabah, says Star

KOTA KINABALU: The State Reform Party (Star) is no longer amused by "the gross exaggerations and inaccuracies" continually being peddled by the ruling Umno-led Barisan Nasional (BN) in Sabah in the run-up to the forthcoming 13th General Election.

The latest statement from Umno which has irked the Borneo-based national party is one from Chief Minister Musa Aman. The Sabah leader claimed on Tues that the opposition, unlike BN, cannot offer the right medicine for Sabah. He claimed "numerous achievements" in the state under the BN.

RCI PATI: Rakyat Sabah marah

"Kerajaan yang dipimpin oleh UMNO tidak serius
menangani isu pendatang asing di Sabah"
By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Rakyat Sabah marah dengan sikap ‘acuh tak acuh’ pemimpin-pemimpin Kerajaan Persekutuan menangani isu pendatang asing tanpa izin (PATI) di negeri itu.

Pengerusi Parti Reformasi Negeri (Star) Sabah, Dr Jeffrey Kitingan berkata kalau betul sudah setuju kenapakah Perdana Menteri (Datuk

Seri Najib Tun Razak) dan timbalannya (Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin) teragak-agak untuk mengumumkannya ketika mereka berada di Sabah baru-baru ini.

Let party leaders debate first to set the tone, says Dr Jeffrey

KENINGAU : Chairman of State Reform Party (Star), Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, said top leaders of political parties should first start any debate, then followed by divisional leaders at each constituencies, so as to set the tone of a meaningful debate among parties.

"We support the initiative to have public debates to identify the best candidates to take on the ruling party. We also support a one-to-one fight with BN, but let us start with party top leaders first," he said commenting on the political public debate being initiated in the state.


Thousands March As Japan Shuts Off Nuclear Power

By Yuri Kageyama of Associated Press
TOKYO (AP) — Thousands of Japanese marched to celebrate the switching off of the last of their nation's 50 nuclear reactors Saturday, waving banners shaped as giant fish that have become a potent anti-nuclear symbol.

Japan was without electricity from nuclear power for the first time in four decades when the reactor at Tomari nuclear plant on the northern island of Hokkaido went offline for mandatory routine maintenance.

Taib sees writing on wall, hedges bets

By Joe Fernandez
Tai b Mahmud
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim may be more than right, for once, about “a wind of change” sweeping across Sarawak come the 13th general election. However, Chief Minister Taib Mahmud is the man who holds all the cards.

It’s clear that after having reduced Sarawak over three decades to the dubious distinction of being the second poorest in Malaysia – rich Sabah being the poorest – it’s an understatement to say that Taib has more than outstayed his welcome.

Demokrasi Sabah needs the right debate format

By Joe Fernandez
The initial word from Demokrasi Sabah (Desah), an NGO just set up by former Sabah state secretary Simon Sipaun to encourage one-to-one contests at the forthcoming 13th General Election, has not been too encouraging.

For starters, there’s the little matter of the NGO declaring that it wants to help further strengthen and entrench a two-party system in Malaysia. These two parties, or rather coalitions and/or alliances, i.e. Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and Barisan Nasional (BN) are both Peninsular Malaysia-based. 

BERSIH 3.0 Broke Many Glasses (Including A few Glass Ceilings)

By M. Bakri Musa

In the aftermath of the largest public demonstrations against the Barisan government, the officials’ obsession now turns to the exercise of apportioning blame and the associated inflicting of vengeance. Both are raw human reactions, but hardly enlightening, sophisticated, or even fruitful. Besides, there is plenty of blame to go around. I prefer to look at the bright side and on the lessons that can be learned.


Analysis of Bersih 3.0

By Dr Bridget Welsh
COMMENT With well over 100,000 people gathering last week for electoral reform in the largest street protest in the nation's history - and the event marred by violence by both state and non-state actors alike - Malaysian politics has reached an important impasse.

The Bersih 3.0 rally and its aftermath reveal that the path ahead for Malaysian politics will grow even more contentious and complex. As the different ‘Bersih stories' pour in, ranging from ‘ordinary' heroism to the darker accounts of beatings and abuse of power, the move of Malaysian politics outside of the realm of elite to the streets and social media is both empowering and scary.

Jeffrey to Pakatan, BN: Get out of Sabah

By Luke Rintod of FMT
RANAU: State Reform Party (STAR) Sabah chairman, Jeffrey Kitingan, has again called for all Peninsula-based political parties to get out of Sabah.

The maverick politician urged the opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition parties – PKR, DAP and PAS – and the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition members – Umno, MCA MIC and Gerakan – to fold up their tents and leave Sabah to Sabahans.

He advised the Peninsula-based opposition parties to instead focus their strength on wresting all the 165 parliamentary seats at stake in the Peninsula and let the opposition here battle it out for the 25 parliamentary seats in Sabah.

BN really must GO!

By Capt (r) Iskandar Dzulkarnain
Tun Dr Mahathir was Prime Minister of Malaysia for 22 years. All of us lived under his leadership during his tenure, and many of us have come to admire him and regard him with our deepest respect, for what he had done for the country.

His Vision 2020, the Look East Policy, the Multimedia Super Corridor, the Internet and his efforts to industrialize the country has brought countless prosperity to our nation.

Paris Papers: Perimekar just a travel agency

razak baginda acquitted 311008 09Having had the privilege of looking at some of the Paris Papers on the Scorpene submarine scandal recently, it behoves me to give anxious landlubbers a ‘hitchhiker's guide' to this convoluted mesh of payments that have gone on to grease this most expensive (more than RM7 billion) arms purchase in Malaysia's history.

Since Suaram lodged its complaint with the French courts for a judicial review of the Scorpene contract in November 2009, the French prosecutors have certainly been busy with their investigations.


STAR Sabah kesal pembentukan Malaysia dilakukan tergesa gesa oleh pemimpin terdahulu

Datuk Dr Jeffrey berucap ketika melancarkan Parti
Star di DUN Kemabong.
KEMABONG: Pemimpin terdahulu telah membuat keputusan tergesa-gesa dalam persetujuan pembentukan Malaysia melalui penyatuan Tanah Melayu, Sabah, Sarawak dan Singapura. Ini adalah antara punca utama hak asasi rakyat Sabah sepertimana yang terkandung dalam 20 Perkara mudah dimanipulasikan oleh pihak persekutuan.

Negara Brunei dan Singapura yang kini jauh lebih maju dan pesat membangun malah memiliki ekonomi yang jauh lebih baik berbanding Sabah selepas mereka tidak meneruskan untuk bersama dalam pembentukkan Malaysia pada ketika itu (Singapura keluar dari Malaysia tahun 1965).

Support for Jeffrey's calls to leave Sabah parties alone

RANAU : State Reform Party's (Star) Sabah chairman, Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan has again repeated and reiterated his call for Malaya-based political parties especially the Pakatan Rakyat to consider focusing its aim at wresting all the 165 Parliamentary seats at stake in the 11-state Peninsular and to leave Sabah and Sarawak parties to stand in the rest 57 in both states and one in Labuan.

Russia's military threatens preemptive strike if NATO goes ahead with missile plan

By Mansur Mirovalev, The Associated Press
MOSCOW - Russia's top military officer has threatened to carry out a pre-emptive strike on U.S.-led NATO missile defence facilities in Eastern Europe if Washington goes ahead with its controversial plan to build a missile shield.

President Dmitry Medvedev said last year that Russia will retaliate militarily if it does not reach an agreement with the United States and NATO on the missile defence system.


Pity Sabah losing on every ends, claims Star man

RANAU : A State Reform Party (Star) leader claimed that Sabah had lost every opportunities to Malaya and is losing even more as greed entrenched itself in the ruling elites who could easily find a matching capitalists.

Star's division head for Ranau, Jalibin Paidi, in a statement here said if one reflects long enough on this point, he or she would agree with his finding that Sabah had always been at the receiving end of Malayan mannouvres in the state, both politically and economically.

Najib sought US$1bil for Perimekar - Malaysiakini

French public prosecutors probing shoddy deals in French-Malaysian arms deals found evidence that then-defence minister Najib Abdul Razak had sought US$1 billion (RM3 billion) for local company Perimekar from French shipmaker DCN's subsidiary DCNI.

According to prosecution papers revealed by NGO Suaram today, a fax shows that Najib had asked for the amount for Perimekar as a condition for a meeting with him on July 14, 2001.

What Umno solved all problems? retorts Star on Sairin's claim

KOTA KINABALU: The State Reform Party (Star) has queried varied claims by Umno on solving all problems in Sabah including the 20 Points and Borneonisation, issues raised by the party, and dismissing it in the process as "a party from outside" i.e. Sarawak.

The party, in a statement, challenged Deputy Chief Minister, Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) president and Huguan Siou Joseph Pairin Kitingan to state his stand publicly on the Umno claims, "equivalent to staying in a glass house and throwing stones at others".

Old lady dies in a hut waiting for "hijacked" PPRT house

By Dr Nicholas James Guntobon
KENINGAU :
Two days ago, an old lady, a bona fide Sabahan, in her 70s who had been living alone for years in an old shack (look at the hut in the piucture) in Kampung Ulu Kauran near here died without seeing her application for a more decent house under PPRT being approved after years of pleading.

Kg Ulu Kauran is in Liawan, and was not allocated a proper Kampung Development and Security Committee (JKKK). The kampung was put under the JKKK Kampung Ulu Patikang instead.

Muhyiddin's election promises in Kadamaian an insult, says SAPP man

By Ezra Haganez
KOTA BELUD : Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) said the recent pledge made by DPM Muhyiddin Yassin to asphalt six important rural roads in the Kadamaian state constituency next year is an insult to the people's intelligence.

SAPP's Kota Belud CLC vice head, Peter Marajin said the Kadamaian folks were not amused when Muhyiddin further revealed that he had instructed Minister of Rural Development and Regional, Shafei Apdal, to bring forward the fund for the purpose from 2014 to next year.

Melvin San shares his personal experience at Bersih 3

I am very proud of my 2 younger children who were with me at Bersih 3.0 (my eldest is in Japan). They braved the tear gas, chemical-laced water and intimidation by the police and riot squad - they refused to leave until 4 pm, the official time that the organisers informed the rally would end. In the process, my son, Aaron was badly affected by the tear gas when he went forward to the "frontlines" to take pictures of the Police. I had to restrain my daughter, Audrey from following him.

Former Australia PM's son marries Zara Shafruddin at St James Church, Sydney

FRIENDS who could not attend yesterday's Sydney wedding of Kevin Rudd and Therese Rein's eldest son were kept informed of the special day by regular tweets.
 
As Nick Rudd, 25, and Zara Shafruddin exchanged vows at St James' Church in King St, Sydney, Mr Rudd, his wife Therese Rein and their daughter Jessica all tweeted throughout the ceremony.
 

My Bersih Story

This time around, Bersih was a family event. I went out to fulfill my duty as a responsible citizen together with my wife and sister. We left the little one with my mom and got a friend to drive us right up to Muzium Negara (right up to the police block and as far as we could go with a car). From there we walked with other families and Bersih supporters to Masjid Negara. Along the way, there were bus drivers who provided us with drinking water and cheered us on.

Hishammuddin humiliated by own IGP

This is the SOP of police…,Hishammuddin Hussein
KUALA LUMPUR: The Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar today said that the police do not have a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) allowing them to seize media equipment including cameras or memory cards.

“There is no such thing, we act in accordance with the law,” said Ismail, stressing that the police acted professionally during the Bersih 3.0 on Saturday.

Ismail’s statement contradicted with what his boss, Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, said yesterday.

Star: Rich Sabah poorest state in Malaysia a paradox

KOTA KINABALU: Sabahans know the difference between wealth and poverty and they don't need former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who "squatted" on them for 22 years and Petronas, to "insult their intelligence on the difference between the two situations".

That's the challenge from the State Reform Party (Star) on Mahathir's take in the local media on Wed forecasting Sabah will be the richest state soon in Malaysia in terms of natural resources.

The whole nation is asking this same question !!!

In the Malaysian Parliament recently, an UMNO MP during his speech told a story........

"There was a father who gave RM100/-  each to his 3 sons and asked them to buy things and fill up a room completely.

First son bought hay for RM100/-  but couldn't fill the room entirely.

Najib under fire

PETALING JAYA: Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has described Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s minimum wage announcement as a “cunning election announcement”.

Yesterday, Najib said the minimum wage for workers in Peninsular Malaysia will be set at RM900, whereas in Sarawak, Sabah and Labuan, it will be RM800.

PSM secretary-general S Arutchelvan said a higher minimum wage for Peninsular Malaysia is illogical when Sabah and Sarawak have a higher poverty line.

Star Decries Attempts To 'Belittle' Jeffrey's

KOTA KINABALU: The State Reform Party (Star) is not amused by Sukau State Assemblyman, Saddi Abdul Rahman's alleged attempts to 'belittle' party Chief, Jeffrey Kitingan's political struggle for Sabah and Sarawak all these years.

"Saddi is indulging in the politics of distraction and disruption by harping on Jeffrey moving from party to party before finally settling on Star," said a Star Deputy Chairman, Daniel John Jambun. "Saddi even had the cheek to suggest that Jeffrey will eventually abandon the first party he has ever headed in his life."

Star denies flogging the 'politics of 2nd Chance'

KOTA KINABALU: Star deputy chairman Daniel John Jambun has denied flogging the "politics of 2nd Chance" as charged by Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman during a party function on Thurs at the Umno building in Kota Kinabalu.

He was referring to Musa alleging that opposition leaders had done nothing for the people during their "glory days in power" and were now striving to get a second chance on the comeback trail. Musa had also added, in his caustic remarks, that such leaders would not be able to "make a difference" in future if they couldn't do so in the past.

They came by the thousands and by word of mouth. And they listened attentively to Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman talk of Prime Minister Najib Razak’s success in governing Malaysia since he took office three years ago. Village chiefs and community leaders, said Musa, are still important “eyes and ears” of the government despite the speed and reach of the internet in delivering information to the people.

 “There are still those who do not get their news through radio, television and the newspapers,” he told a meeting with them in Kudat, 131km (82 miles) northeast of Kota Kinabalu, on April 25.

Musa said community leaders have a duty to inform and explain to the people of all the good that the Barisan Nasional (National Front) government has done for them.


If the law is bad, break it

I got a call from a reporter a little while ago to ask my thoughts on the court order obtained by the authorities, banning the Duduk Bantah Bersih 3.0 taking place at Dataran Merdeka.

To explain my point to her, I shared this little episode that took place whilst in I was in London in the 80′s.

Following the Falklands war, information had leaked out that greatly embarrassed the Thatcher administration.

The leaked information was finally traced back to a member of the British civil service, one Clive Ponting.

Ponting was charged with an offence under the Official Secrets Act.

At the end of the trial, the judge DIRECTED the jury, that on the evidence, they must enter a finding of guilt.

Bersih 3.0: Fight For the Future!

KOTA KINABALU: BERSIH Sabah 3.0 will go on as planned today at Padang Merdeka at 2pm – 4pm in spite of resistances put up by various parties as reported in the media.

“We are members of the public; therefore we are entitled to attend the programme if we wish to. Too much has been put at stake for fellow Malaysians. Civil liberties are being threatened, we must act now!” says BERSIH Sabah spokesperson Andrew Ambrose, also known as Atama.

Musa Aman sets sight on another resounding coalition victory

Go to the people, Musa tells BN leaders and members.
Go to the people, Musa tells BN leaders and members.
“United we stand; divided we fall.” That was the message which Chief Minister Musa Aman drove home to more than 1,000 leaders and members of eight Barisan Nasional coalition parties in Sabah on April 26. Musa knows what he is up against in a general election that could be as early as late May or mid June. But he is undaunted. “We want an even bigger victory this time,” he said as he launched the BN election task force at the Umno building in Kota Kinabalu.

A Message To The People of Sabah

My fellow Sabahans,

With less than 48hours for Bersih Sabah 3.0 and Duduk Bantah in the historic Padang Merdeka 2804, all I can think about is our immediate future, our state - our nation of Sabah. With so much things going through everyone's mind, the opposition to Bersih 3.0, the ignorance of it's main issue & the playing up of fear into the hearts of sovereign individuals; the fact remains that everyone of us clearly still wants one common thing - fairness and equality.

Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) fully backs BERSIH

Michael Liew
KOTA KINABALU: Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) fully backs BERSIH Sabah, according to MCLM Sabah chief Michael Liew.

According to Liew, “Based on our understanding, BERSIH Sabah never applied to use Padang Merdeka.

They had issued letters of notification to both PDRM and DBKK of their activities on 17th of April 2012.”

According to section 9(1) of the newly enacted Peaceful Assembly Act, an organiser shall, ten days before the date of an assembly, notify the Officer in Charge of the Police District in which the assembly is to be held.

Fakta Sebenar Di Sebalik Dakwaan & Fitnah Terhadap Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR)

  • Dakwaan 1:

    SPR telah sengaja membetulkan sempadan kawasan pilihan raya DUN dan Parlimen tanpa kelulusan Parlimen bertujuan meramaikan pengundi di satu-satu kawasan bagi membolehkan Barisan Nasional beroleh kemenangan pada PRU Ke-13 nanti

    Dakwaan tersebut merupakan suatu fitnah dan tidak berasas sama sekali. SPR tidak pernah melakukan apa-apa perubahan terhadap sempadan kawasan atau bahagian pilihan raya sama ada DUN atau pun Parlimen kerana urusan berkenaan hanya dapat dilakukan apabila tiba masanya mengikut peruntukan Perkara 113(A) Perlembagaan Persekutuan. SPR telah pun mengeluarkan pengumuman bahawa urusan kajian semula persempadanan bahagian-bahagian pilihan raya hanya akan dijalankan apabila tiba masanya selepas PRU-13. SPR akan mengeluarkan kenyataan rasmi berhubung dengan perkara tersebut apabila tiba masanya nanti.

TONGOD : A key leader of State Reform Party (Star) in Kinabatangan, which is flooded by illegal immigrants, has called upon Star leadership to consider adopting and improving the proposal by another opposition party, Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP), to introduce a Sabah identification card, as among its objective.

James Ait, who is also Star state committee member, in a statement today said that the issuance of such state own identification card should be stringent and will differentiate between those genuine Sabahans and those who got the easily-available to immigrants Malaysian MyKads.
