KOTA KINABALU: PKR former state liaison secretary, Kanul Gindol, has called on the voters in Batu Sapi not to cast their votes for a proxy of PKR supremo Datuk Anwar Ibrahim, saying it is just a waste of time, and will not strategically help promote the right "halatuju" of the state, vis-a-vis federal attention.
Kanul, who is partyless since he ditched PKR in 2008 general election, said voters in Batu Sapi must also take into account a fact that there is nothing that Anwar or his proxy can do that the Prime Minister Datuk Najib Razak or the Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman cannot do for Sandakan and Sabah.
"I have just returned from a three-day observation trip in Batu Sapi and found out that the people in Sandakan in general indeed wanted to be heard by their assemblymen, the prime minister, and the chief minister.
Suggested PR election manifesto
The next election is supposed to be very near and the ruling party has asked its allies to get its election machinery ready.
In that spirit here are my suggestions/recommendations of what I wish to see PR election manifesto to be:
1. Abolish all laws that allows detention without trial, i.e. ISA, Emergency Ordinance, Dangerous Drugs Act.
2. Amend the constitution to legislate that any law that allows for detention without trail must be passed unanimously in Parliament.

3. Make it mandatory for all political parties to follow the one member one vote principle and not via the delegate system.
4. Abolish at once the National Service programme and the Biro Tata Negara.
5. All toll collections to be abolished once investments and running costs are recouped, after that, the cost to be recovered via road tax.

Standing in for Najib: Does Rosmah have delusions of grandeur?
Malaysian Prime minister Najib Abdul Razak’s illness with chicken pox on the eve of the visit of two foreign dignitaries – Australian Prime minister Julia Gillard and US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is unfortunate but not as awkward as how events have unfolded whilst he is recuperating.
Najib first showed symptoms of illness at the 17th Asean Summit Meeting in Hanoi and according to his wife, Rosmah Mansor, has been asked to rest by his doctors.
Whilst at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where she paid a visit to the accident victims of the Genting bus crash, Rosmah was reported to be in ‘high spirits standing in for Najib at functions’.
Rosmah appears to be taking her role a bit too seriously.
Rosmah pemangku PM jadi tanda tanya
(Harakahdaily) - Tindakan isteri Perdana Menteri, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor mewakili Perdana Menteri dalam majlis yang tidak boleh disertainya menimbulkan pelbagai persoalan kini apakah beliau adalah pemangku perdana menteri.
"Saya keliru. Jika PM tidak sihat, bukankah sepatutnya timbalan perdana menteri yang mewakili beliau dan kerajaan, dan bukan Rosmah? Atau dia (Rosmah) pemangku PM," kata Malik Imtiaz Sharwa seorang peguam terkenal dalam twitternya.
Semalam, Rosmah telah berucap mewakili PM di Karnival Deepavali 1Malaysia di Litle India dekat Brickfield.
Dalam majlis itu, Najib melalui teks ucapan yang dibacakan oleh isterinya berjanji akan membantu orang India di negara ini.
Malacca developed status self-declared, says OECD official
Ali Rustam
OECD representative Jon Hall explained to The Malaysian Insider via email that the media could have misunderstood OECD’s role in the issue, pointing out that the organisation was not in the position to make such an endorsement.
“The OECD did not endorse the Malaccan declaration, mainly because we are not in a position to do so.
