FULL REPORT KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional has scored a double victory in the Batu Sapi and Galas by-elections, giving Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's administration a resounding stamp of approval and sending the Anwar Ibrahim-led opposition back to the drawing board.
For the Batu Sapi parliamentary seat in Sabah, BN candidate Linda Tsen won with a landslide victory, chalking up a margin of 6,359 votes over her nearest rival, PKR's Ansari Andullah.
Her majority was even greater than her late husband Edmund Chong's in 2008 when he got 3,708-vote majority. The latter's death in a traffic accident had paved the way for the by-election.
Tsen garnered 9,773 votes while Ansari got 3,414. The other contender in the three-way tussle, SAPP president Yong Teck Lee came in a disappointing third with 2,031 votes despite initial projections that the former chief minister would win the seat.

Mother demands probe over non-halal food caning at school
(Malaysian Mirror) Kuching - A 10-year-old boy from a mission school here was allegedly caned 10 times for bringing non-halal food to school.
Basil anak Beginda was asked to see the school's assistant principal, Iskandar bin Fadeli, and subsequently reprimanded for bringing 'fried rice cooked with pork sausages' to St. Thomas Primary School, one of Malaysia's historical school, on Oct 15.
It was alleged that the boy was caned 10 times on his palm.
The incident sparked off a wave of anger among the PKR women who held a press conference on Wednesday to condemn the act.
They had called for the Education Ministry to investigate the matter and take action against Iskandar.

Fed-up Yen Yen 'avoids' Parliament, escapes media
 |
| Yen Yen - too much 'fire' of late |
Whether she was aware of it or not, Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen was the centre of attention in Parliament, but again for the wrong reasons.
This time, her frustrated colleagues demanded to know why she was absent from the sitting where they had lined up a barrage of questions for her to answer.
“Where is the Tourism minister or, more accurately. the 'tourist minister'?” asked a Pakatan Rakyat MP when her deputy James Dawos Mamit took the floor to answer on her behalf points raised against their ministry.
Mamit's appearance prompted a round of jeers from parliamentarians, forcing deputy Speaker Ronald Kiandee to intervene.
The Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM)
Earlier this month, Tan Sri Sanusi Junid came to my house for dinner and we talked about the MCLM that is going to be legalised at the end of this month. Sanusi said that Tun Dr Mahathir actually has the same idea and that the latter did speak to the former about it.

PPP: Be selective in accepting non-political bodies into Barisan
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) wants the Barisan Nasional to be selective in admitting non-political bodies into the coalition when its constitution is amended.
Its president Datuk M. Kayveas said that this was to ensure no racial and problematic organisations were admitted into Barisan.
“I am totally against racial politics,” he told reporters here yesterday.
Kayveas said this when asked to comment on the plan to amend the Barisan’s constitution to admit friendly individuals, non-governmental organisations and political parties as members.
It was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also Barisan chairman, earlier this year. -- Bernama, 25 October 2010

Baby's First Doctor Visit
This made me laugh out loud.
I hope it will give you a smile!
I hope it will give you a smile!
A woman and a baby were in the doctor's examining room,
Waiting for the doctor to come in for the baby's first exam.
The doctor arrived, and examined the baby,
checked his weight, and being
a little concerned, asked if
the baby was breast-fed or bottle-fed.
'Breast-fed,' she replied.
'Well, strip down to your waist,' the doctor ordered.
She did. He pinched her nipples, pressed, kneaded, and rubbed both breasts for a while in a very Professional and detailed examination.
Motioning to her to get dressed, the doctor said,
'No wond er this baby is underweight.
'You don't have any milk.'
I know,' she replied,
'I'm his Grandma!
but I'm glad I came. .
WILL PAKATAN COMMIT TO A ROADMAP FOR TRUE DEMOCRACY
Many have forgotten that Pakatan and the agenda to capture Putrajaya at GE12 became a reality after the tsunami of HINDRAF on November 25, 2007. Till then, even top leadership of Pakatan never for once imagined the prospect of reaching so close to Putrajaya. The cry of Makkal Sakthi reverberated in every household irrespective of race or creed. Yes, there was a shift of the mindset of the grassroots Indians which was the main cause of the now forgotten impact caused by the Indian voters.
The great tsunami brought about the much spoken about “change” by the PR leadership.
Pakatan can’t go on the rhetoric of change without defining its true meaning. Since gaining tremendously in the last GE they have been talking about the change that is needed for Malaysia. Promises of accountability, openness and eradication of corruption have been made to convince Malaysians of their agenda of “change.”
But let us be honest – these promises are good on paper but the true change starts with what is being done for the poor and discriminated. Every aspiring politician speaks those words which are no more than than vague promises made without commitment or convictions.(What we call kosong politics)
A vote for any bn component party, ie MCA, MIC, Gerakan, etc., is actually a vote for Umno!!!
Malay, Chinese and Indian are all Malaysian brothers and sisters. But BN has screwed Malaysians and Malaysia up. Take a stand now.
Malay 1st…. Malaysian 2nd
Malay 1st…. Malaysian 2nd
When a Malay, Chinese and Indian, all Malaysians, apply for:-
1) Scholarships, Malays will get it first irrespective of bright Malaysians
2) Entry to the local universities and bestcourses such medicine, dentistry, law, Malays will get it first irrespective of quality. Residential hostels, Matriculation courses, MARA Uni, Malays will get 90% to 100%. (By the way, matriculation exams are internally set by own lecturers - about thousands of straight A’s students in Matriculation compared to the straight A’s STPM which are few. This is “Malay meritocracy vs Malaysian meritocracy”!
3) Social Welfare, Malays will get it first irrespective of how poor the Malaysian rakyat is
4) Business Contracts, Malays will get it first irrespective of who can offer the best value, quality and unblemished track record. Even when blacklisted, Malay associations have the right to complain because the rakyat owes them a living.
5) Sharing of wealth and equity, IPOs, ASB, Malays will get it first. Even with ASB for Malays give higher returns and principal guaranteed capped at RM200K instead of other bonds for Malaysians with lower yield capped at RM50K. This will be ongoing. WhyMalays cannot reach 30% equities? Statistics are manipulated so that valuation of shares are based on par value (Imagine valuing CIMB, Maybank, Sime darby etc at par value of RM1.00 instead of market value of RM12 etc. Malaysians must accept these assumptions or make sure this is hidden or else priviledges are gone..!! )

Beware you maybe under a black magic spell !
Strange things happen in Malaysia . This is a sad thing that is happening in Malaysia . Sad and evil, but true.
Over the past several years, several people related to me have been victims of unscrupulous people. It is the trend now. Most people do not earn money the decent way anymore. They use all kinds of evil ways to get people's money and they don't give a damn how they destroy people's lives to get it....
Several married women went to learn Ballroom dancing in Kota Kinabalu. The Phillipino dance instructors put black magic spells on them to get them into bed. Then the victims were blackmailed. Marriages and families were destroyed. Some husbands just divorce their wives.
