KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim is feeling insecure in his own constituency of Permatang Pauh, claimed Barisan Nasional chairman Najib Tun Razak today.

“He is abandoning the people who supported him all this while. If he can leave Permatang Pauh, what is there to talk about his principles and loyalty,” Najib said after chairing the BN presidential council meeting at the PWTC here today.

As for him, Najib said that he would never dream of leaving Pekan.

“Politically speaking, I will live and die in Pekan,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: The video recording of a member of Parliament belittling the Hindu faith has prompted a Catholic priest to question the government’s double standard in dealing with such matters.

Bishop Paul Tan pointed out that the present ruling government had not hauled up any Muslim who uttered seditious words and made seditious gestures against those of other religions while it acted against those who stated unpleasant things about Islam.

The head of the Malacca-Johor diocese was responding to the video of Kulim Bandar Bahru MP Zulkifili Noordin who mocked how statues of Hindu deities could not prevent a flood in Masjid India here.

PETALING JAYA: Like a scene from a Clint Eastwood western, two aging gunfighters are training their pistols on each other in what could be their last political duel.

Responding to Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s call on the people of Johor to put Lim Kit Siang’s political career six feet underground, the latter has now thrown a dare to the former premier.

The DAP veteran challenged the patriarch of Umno to contest against him in the Gelang Patah parliamentary constituency in the coming 13th general election.

“With Mahathir still so active in Malaysian and in particular Umno politics, I invite him to come to Gelang Patah to contest in the elections and let the people of Johor decide whose political life should be ended, and whether Gelang Patah should be the political ‘kubur’ [grave] for me or him.

AdilanClub:Senseless policies and cabbies’ livelihood

AdilanClub:Breaking news, is the best for news

Heartless and senseless policies have effectively destroyed and continues to steadily demolish our livelihoods. These merciless policies were created by the government over the years to keep afloat individuals, families, cronies and selected corporations.

Why is the issuance of individual permits not feasible? The miserable explanation provided by Syed Hamid Albar is illogical and not tenable. Because of the unreasonable monopoly practiced by the government on the issuance of permits, cabbies have today become a displaced lot.

Cabbies have lost focus and sense of direction and are indebted to organisations. They are treated like modern slaves without proper care and protection.Therefore any suggestion to issue taxi permits directly to individual cabbies must be viewed positively and not narrowly.

We are not asking for a nationalisation of any company as alleged by Syed Hamid Albar. But we vehemently object to the monopolisation of any industry and exploitation. Additionally, we don’t need arrogant leaders who failed to appreciate and understand the true plight of cabbies.
