Ministry wants commission to probe YouTube clip

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been asked to investigate a YouTube video of a man who allegedly insulted Islam and Prophet Muhammad in a talk.

Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said the commission has been instructed to immediately conduct the probe under Section 233 of the Communi-cations and Multimedia Act.

“I will personally make sure that this case is brought to the attention of the authorities soon,” he told reporters after opening a seminar on ‘Issues and Challenges in Preserving Audiovisual Archives in the Tropical Region’, here yesterday.

Pro tem president of the Muslim Bloggers Association (MBA), Zainol Abideen drew attention to the video clip of a “priest” delivering a talk at a church in Kuching.

Meanwhile, Dr Rais said the ministry plans to set up a system to display archive materials online.

He said the ministry would collaborate with agencies like Filem Negara, RTM and Bernama to collect historical documents to be displayed online by the National Archives.

“Through this initiative, artefacts such as videos, 16mm or 35mm films, film negatives as well as pictures can be put online,” he told reporters.

He said the system would enable access to historical materials without having to go to the agencies concerned.

Dr Rais said the ministry also planned to provide scholarships to encourage students and the public to carry out research on the country’s historical artefacts.

“The scholarships are aimed at promoting the study of archive materials. This includes training on heritage and record-keeping,” he said.

Earlier, in his speech Rais said special attention was needed for audiovisual archives in the tropical region, as their preservation is more challenging, with heat and humidity the main threats.

“Their relevance will not diminish with time, therefore, it is vital for such materials to be safeguarded and preserved for use by successive generations,” he said. – Bernama

Hard to detect fake Datuks without national

registry


PETALING JAYA: It is easy to get away with a fake Datuk title as there is no national registry to verify the authenticity of datukships.

With thousands of Datuks in Malaysia, Sunday Star found that a person would have to check with multiple sources to find out if a Datuk is a genuine title holder.

Recently, one of the main suspects in the murder of millionaire Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya was purported to be a Datuk.

However, police enquiries in all states to trace who conferred the datukship drew a blank. The suspect had allegedly “bought” the title for the princely sum of RM180,000.

There are 15 different sources of Datuk titles – from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, all states and the Federal Terri­tories. Currently, the official channels for authentication are the respective state secretaries of the states that confer the title.

The most easily accessible avenue is the Internet, but a check revealed that the information available online is often sketchy. There are piecemeal sources such as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Sultan of Selangor’s websites, but not a single, comprehensive source.

An attempt to find all the titles given out in 2009 – without referring to the respective states departments – did not result in a comprehensive list.

While the media publishes the head of states’ honours lists, not all states are covered.

Some reports specify the honorific title that comes with the award, and the number of awards given, but not a full list of names.

On the other hand, some reports only carry a list of recipients.

Rembau MP and Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said a central, publicly-accessible database was prudent.

“It will be good to have a centralised database to check for instances of fraud, but not the decision to award the title – it is the right and prerogative of the state rulers.”

Transparency International Malaysia president Datuk Paul Low said that most people would not know if a datukship was genuine or not.

The former president of the Penang Datuks Council, Datuk Seri Nazir Ariff, said authentication of titles was difficult.

“There is no way to verify if what they (certain Datuks) say is true. Normally, they do not say which state they got their title from.

Majority confident of future!!!! Hurray Hurray—let see who are happy–oh…the Malays!!

**********************************************

KUALA LUMPUR: An overwhelming majority of Malaysians are confident their families will have a “good” or “very good” future in the country regardless of the political situation.

The National Current Issues opinion poll showed that 86% felt that the country’s future was “good” or “very good”. The remaining felt it would be “bad” or “very bad”.

A total of 1,367 respondents were involved in the survey carried out between Aug 1 and Aug 18. The respondents, aged 21 and above, were randomly selected nationwide across race and gender.

The survey, by International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) researchers, has a margin of error of less than 4%.

IIUM Communications Department professor Datuk Dr Syed Arabi Idid, who headed the survey, said Malaysians had a good feeling about the country regardless of their political views.

“They still have confidence in the country’s future and in the future of their families. They also have a good feeling about the current economic situation and business opportunities,” he said in revealing the findings.

On the current economic situation, 59% felt it was “good”, and 14% “very good”; while 23% felt it was “bad” and 4% “very bad”.

The vast majority believed that current business opportunities in the country were “good” and “very good”, with only 24% feeling it was “bad” and 3% “very bad”.

However, respondents were not as confident about current job opportunities, with 53% stating that it was “good”, 15% “very good”, 26% “bad” and 6% “very bad”.

Najib & your cronies in the BN

Another blast from Dr. Ronnie Tan Kee Kwong…

“ Without fear and favour..”, this heroic scion of

Tan Sri Dr. Tan Chee Khoon… .. an intrepid politician of his father’s mettle and character…

From the desk of Dr Tan Kee Kwong  14/8/2010


Dear Najib & your cronies in the BN,

I learnt with alarm that for the past 3 years, Petronas has given to the Federal Government 290 billion ie 290,000 JUTA! Wow, what a fantastic sum of money. Plaese Najib, Pak Lah & Mahathir, tell us the rakyat how you spent or wasted this huge sum of money.

As I have said before, Petronas as an entity was & still is quite a well run company. But the past 3 PM,s have ruined it all. By a special Act of Parliament passed in the 70’s PDA ie Petroleum Development Act, Petronas is only accountable to the PM ONLY. In the past we had 2 Oil Ministers who had no say at all. Even under PDA, the Minister of Finance has no say at all. Even the Cabinet cannot examine the true accounts of Petronas. What a shame. This is totally unacceptable. You can rest assured that the incoming Pakatan Rakyat Federal Government will change all that. those that have plundered the wealth of the nation had better watch out, you will be charged & sent to jail for a very long time!

DIVIDENDS PAID
Under Mahathir, Dividends paid to the Govt was about 2 to 3 billion annually. The so called Mr Clean ie Pak Lah forced Petronas to pay 10 billion then 20 billion finally to pay 30 billion. During Mr Clean tenure as PM  dividends paid was 10x what was paid during Mahathir’s time. Where did all this money go?  Mainly to finance all the budget deficits during his rule. A lot went to useless Defense spending. Also the nation only got 10 billion worth out of 30 billion!

In the 80’s& 90’s about 100 billion was spent from Petronas coffers to bail out Bank Bumiputra TWICE. Also during the finacial crise of 1997, Petronas was forced to buy MISC to bail out Mahatir’s son.

KLCC LAND, ANOTHER BIG TIME SCAM
I remember in the mid 50’s my family stayed for 2 years in no 2 Jalan Penang. At that time there was only the Race Course there. As kids we enjoyed plucking the delicious rambutans there. Now it is so different.
At that time the HQ of Petronas was housed in Dayabumi. There was a severe shortage of office space as the Petronas operations expanded very fast.

Initially the plan was to build a new HQ in Jln Tun Razak, opposite the Royal Sgor Golf Club.(site of the present Prnce Court Hospital) That plan was aborted as the DCA(Dept of Civil Aviation) objected strongly as it was in the flight path of the Sungai Besi RMAF Air Base. Then Petronas went ahead to buy a piece of land in Jalan Ampang, behind Yow Chuan Plaza for only 30 million.

Suddenly Mahathir intervened & came out with a devious plan to steal the money from Petronas to enrich his special crony etc. First the was the outcry in the press on how the Race Course was causing massive traffic jams every week-end. So the Federal Government & DBKL decided that the Race Course must shift to Sungai Besi, its present site. If the land was sold/surrendered from the Turf Club to Petronas direct that will be perfectly OK. BUT the Turf Club was forced to sell its land to a very special  Mahatir Crony. Within a matter of a few months the special crony sold the land to Petronas at a huge price of 600 Million! The top brass of Petronas was instructed, CANNOT negotiate the price, just pay. How ridiculous, who pays 600 million without even a one dollar discount.
Please Mahathir, you were in charge of Petronas then who was the crony/individual involved & who others benefited.

PAK LAH “GAVE” AWAY BLOCK L AND BLOCK M, SARAWAK
Another ginormous scandal that cost the nation US100 BILLION. Recently Mahathir wrote in his blog site that 3 weeks before Pak Lah stepped down as PM he “gave’ the above land to Brunei. Wonder what made him do that, maybe in one of his naps in public he just assigned our rights to Brunei. I am sure it was not for free, many relatives & cronies benefited because this is a business deal, not an NGO doing charity.
In the past Petronas went into joint sharing agreements with Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia etc This should have been the case in Block L and Block M.

Sarawakians , plaese wake up. You stay in on of the poorest states in Malaysia. Your Ketua Menteri(Pek Moh) is so blatantly corrupt that even his BN broyhers in SUPP are complaining. And Pak Lah “gave”your wealth away to Brunei

IN CONCLUSION

UMNO/BN plase come clean on the real affairs of Petronas
Abolish the present PDA Act. Replace it with a better & more transparent Act that the financial affairs of Petronas MUST be accountable to the Parliament
Examine the real cause of the severe drop in FDI. Not only that even the local tycoons have very little faith in this country. Don’t you care. Every year at least 400,000 finish their SPM examinations. With this state of affairs what is going to happen to them?

Don’t just enrich yourselves, give a little bit back to the Nation!

Task force to look out for sensitive matter on Internet

KUALA LUMPUR: A special unit has been set up to look out for Internet postings that can ignite racial tension and cause disunity, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

The ministry would gather the expertise of its enforcement unit, the police, A-G’s Chamber and the judiciary to look into such cases.

Hishammuddin was asked to comment on a Facebook page that insulted Malay sensitivities.

Several groups, such as the Selangor Federation of Peninsular Malay Students, Gagasan Pendidikan Melayu Malaysia and Perkasa lodged a police report against the page at the Dang Wangi police station here on Wednesday.

On another matter, Hisham­muddin said his ministry had never taken sides when handling incidents which involved churches and mosques.

“For some cases, it takes a longer time to investigate and to be solved.

“But for the incident where paint was splashed on a surau, we were able to arrest the perpetrators within one day and got them charged,” he told reporters after visiting the Narcotics Rehabilitation Centre (Puspen) here yesterday.

He said the ministry handled all cases equally regardless of the race and religion of those involved.

Hishammuddin added that there were certain parties that wanted to raise these sensitive issues to create hatred and disunity among the people.

Hishammuddin was commenting on an article by Pantai Dalam MP Nurul Izzah Anwar on an online portal discussing the issue of Malay rights.

He also questioned the timing of the posting, and wondered whether it was related to the upcoming Parti Keadilan Rakyat elections.

“If it (the article) threatens national security and causes anger among the people, it is meaningless no matter what position we hold in the party,” he said.

He added the police would investigate the article if there was a police report lodged against it.

On another matter, Hisham­muddin said a recommendation would be made to the Cabinet to expand the 1Malaysia Cure and Care Clinic nationwide.

Individuals with a drug addiction problem could get consultation and treatment at these clinics.

The first 1Malaysia Cure and Care Clinic, which can accommodate 400 patients, started operations on July 1 in Sungai Besi and is providing service to 219 drug addicts.

Meanwhile, Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the public could trust the mainstream media as its reporting was based on facts unlike the alternative media.

The Prime Minister said some of the articles published in the alternative media such as online portals and blogs were “half truths and inaccurate”.

“The mainstream media has one strength which cannot be found in the alternative media – they are fact-based.

“If we read the mainstream media, intuitively we regard it as an authoritative report whose facts cannot be questioned,” he said at a breaking-of-fast ceremony at the New Straits Times Press office here.

“Its principles are based on facts, as compared to blogs which are personal, usually a one-man show and opinion-based.

“There must be a discerning public who can see the strength of the mainstream media.”

Subject: FW: Be careful while you are in KLCC

Hi,

If you are not convinced, or never had been worried before, now is the time to worry and fret.

In my opinion, everywhere in KL -and for that matter other big cities too – no parking  place is safe.

Please be most careful when you are out and about.

Be mindful while you are in car parks anywhere.

Do not trust even the security guards !!!


Pls be careful ……..
To those of you who go to K.L.

Security in KLCC Tower getting worse…
Don’t trust, even the security guards. Please let your loved ones know….

Security in KLCC Tower getting worse (DON’T DELETE B4 READING !!!!
This is a true experience. This message was passed to us with the consent of the victim.
Yesterday evening, one of our staff’s wife arrived with their child to do some shopping together with her husband in KLCC.
After they have finished shopping, they went home in separate cars because they came in 2 cars. The child followed the father while the wife went separately to her car which was parked at level P2.

When the wife wanted to pay for the parking, she found out she has lost the parking ticket. The parking attendant asked her to go to KLCC Parking Office.
So she went to the office hoping to get some help. At the KLCC Parking Office, a parking attendant said she has to go to KLCC Security office. He offered to give her a ride on his motorbike there, but she refused and followed behind his bike  in her Kancil. He took her to P1 and then they reached a narrow alley where the car was not able to go through. He then asked her to take a ride on his motorbike instead and leave her car behind.

At the end of the alley, there were 3 GUYS waiting for them, all of them dressed in neat uniform. They tried to gang rape her. But fortunately, with the strength from God, she managed to kick one of them where it HURTS the most and ran away as fast as she could.

She went up to the place her subconscience told her where most of the shoppers were, i.e. Picnic Court . Because her hubby does not own a handphone, she had to wait for him to reach home before she could contact him. She called him up later and asked him to come and fetched her.

She dare not report this occurrence to any KLCC security guard. She does not TRUST them any longer. (I won’t too, given the same situation).

They reported the incident to the police. Later the police called her up to identify the personnel. But due to the shock and trauma, she could not recognize them. All of them were wearing cap at that time. There were 4 Malay guys altogether.
– 1 wearing a light yellow top with dark blue bottom (KLCC parking maintenance)
– 2 wearing white tops with dark bottom (parking attendant)
– 1 wearing a light brown top with dark bottom (KLCC Suria parking and Park security guard)

According to the police, countless incident of gang rapes happened here in KLCC. And they suspected that it is all an inside job.

The staff’s wife wishes all women staff of Petronas to be careful and vigilant in future especially in the parking area and toilets. This goes for the Men as well.
Please warn your wife/family members or friends.
Thank You & Regards,

Siti Arma Zailan bt. Md Mokhtar

Online journalism seeking revenue to stay afloat

PETALING JAYA: Operators of online journalism have said that it has been a struggle to seek revenue in the business.

For instance, The Malaysian Insider chief executive officer Jahabar Sadiq said his news portal was in the red.

“Internet advertising helps cover only half of our costs,” he said.

“We are lucky to have shareholders with deep pockets,’’ he said in his paper on How to make a living from online journalism at an international online journalism seminar at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman on Thursday.

The seminar was co-organised by the university, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, European Journalism Centre and the Asian Center for Journalism at the Ateneo de Manila University.

Seminar attendees: Participants listening and taking notes at an international online journalism seminar held at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman on Thursday.

Malaysiakini chief executive officer and co-founder Premesh Chandran said they had been forced to adopt the paid subscriber model in order to survive.

“The advertising industry never supported online media,’’ he said, adding that they were perceived to be anti-government.

Premesh said Malaysiakini had loyal supporters who backed independent media and its reform goals.

He said about half of their income comes from subscription and the other half from advertising.

Premesh told traditional media organisations to change the way they operate in order to survive because advertising was no longer their monopoly.

“Ninety percent of advertising online goes to non-media companies like Google and Facebook now.’’

Birmingham City University senior lecturer Paul Bradshaw said it was important for online journalists to be the first to send an SMS, e-mail or tweet online on breaking news.

“You will rank higher in search engines like Google News.

“It will make it possible for people to find you and contribute to your story,’’ he said.

In his paper A model for the 21st century newsroom, Bradshaw said many traditional media organisations failed to market themselves effectively online, thinking having a website was sufficient.

Malaysian Suckers!!!

I think everything he wrote is fact.  Cannot agree more. No wonder it is so expensive to live in Msia for the hard working Msians-
Yes, I think they are. What do I get for paying toll everyday? Still caught in the traffic jam.
Now I have to pay an extra RM50 for each credit card. For what?
Extra GST (goods and services tax). Again, how does that benefit me?

Look at the long list:

I have to pay for security guards because the  police are hopeless.
I have to install filters because the water supply is dirty.
I have to watch satellite tv because the government broadcasts crap.

Many kids have to go for tuition or to private schools because the government schools are bad.
We have to pay IPPs (independent power providers) because the government cannot provide consistent electricity.

We have to pay Indah Water to clean up the sewers.
We have to pay tax on foreign cars because Mahathir wants to keep his dying local car industry alive. ON top of it APs cost bcoz of his cronies.
Most have to drive because the government cannot provide good public transport.

We have to pay to sustain the government’s affirmative action policies.
We have to pay for private health care because the public hospitals are crowded .

All in all, we have to pay a PREMIUM to stay in this country!

1Malaysia Boleh!!!
DAMN!!!!!

IF YOU AGREE, PLEASE FORWARD.
