PUTIK LADA WITH H.R DIPENDRA
Empowering the younger generation should encompass the raising of spiritual, political, social or economic strength of individuals and communities.
IF AT all Barack Obama’s election as the 44th President of the US can teach us Malaysians anything, it should be this: empowerment and inclusiveness is vital in bringing positive change.

THERE has been some speculation among political observers that PAS is trying to purge the progressives from the party. One news analysis
talked about the axeing of the “Erdogan” faction, referring to the
removal of none other than the party's Shah Alam Member of Parliament
(MP), Khalid Samad, as deputy commissioner II of Selangor PAS. |

PETALING JAYA (Dec 4, 2008): Sacked
by Umno on Tuesday, former de facto law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim
today rejected overtures to join other political parties, preferring
instead to use his independence and freedom to contribute to society in
his own way.
He accused Umno of practicing double standards and
selective persecution as there were people in the party who ridiculed
the president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and made racist remarks
but are still in the party. |

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 4 - Umno Youth chief candidate Datuk Mukhriz
Mahathir continued to defend his proposal to unify the education system
today, stating that it is an idea that was first mooted in the Penyata
Razak (Razak Report) of 1956.
He made reference to the report by former Prime Minister Tun Abdul
Razak Hussein, the then Education Minister, which was to "unify
students from all races with one education system that covers all
races. We are of the opinion that to carry this out, we need to
integrate the syllabus of all schools." |

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 4 – The Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan was accused of lobbying on behalf of two private companies hoping to secure more than RM24 billion worth of projects from the government. DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, who had just a day earlier challenged Musa’s contention that Malaysia’s crime rate was lower than Japan’s, read out excerpts from two letters the IGP allegedly wrote to the finance minister and the home minister on behalf of two companies known as Asiacopter and Web Power Sdn Bhd. |

DEC 4 - If the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Bill is to have
a smooth passage through Parliament, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
may have to spend the next few days winning over some Barisan Nasional
MPs to his corner.
Or even consider imposing the Whip when the bill is tabled on December 10. Several BN MPs, speaking to The Malaysian Insider on condition of anonymity, are worried about the reach and influence of a more autonomous and powerful commission |
