| Batu Sapi : Jika bukan di Sabah, di manakah lagi kami dapat bertanding? Posted: 19 Oct 2010 11:00 PM PDT KOTA KINABALU: Pemimpin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) dan Parti Maju Sabah (SAPP) akan berbincang di sini esok bagi mencari kata sepakat mengenai calon untuk menentang Barisan Nasional dalam pilihan raya kecil kerusi Parlimen Batu Sapi pada 4 November ini.
”SAPP adalah parti tempatan. Jika kami tidak bertanding di Sabah, di manakah lagi kami dapat bertanding,” katanya. Bagaimanapun, katanya, SAPP sedia membincangkan kerjasama dengan PKR dalam menghadapi pilihan raya kecil itu. “Lagipun, dalam politik apa saja boleh berlaku,” katanya. Kerusi itu kosong berikutan kematian Datuk Edmond Chong Ket Wah daripada BN akibat satu nahas jalan raya pada 9 Oktober. Dalam pilihan raya umum lalu, Chong yang juga Bendahari Parti Bersatu Sabah, menewaskan calon Bebas, Dr Chung Ong Wing dengan majoriti 3,708 undi. Batu Sapi mempunyai 25,582 pengundi termasuk hampir 16,000 pengundi Bumiputera dan lebih 9,700 pengundi Cina. Penamaan calon ialah pada 26 Oktober ini. – BERNAMA         |
| Kos perjalanan rasmi PM naik kerana Rosmah? Posted: 19 Oct 2010 09:00 PM PDT
Dalam jawapan bertulis kepada Dewan Rakyat, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz berkata jumlah kos 1,102 pegawai yang mengiringi Najib dan Muhyiddin sejak 2008 berjumlah RM21.45 juta. Soalan berkenaan dikemukakan oleh ahli parlimen Batu, Tian Chua, yang ingin tahu jumlah pegawai yang mengiringi kedua-dua pemimpin berkenaan apabila mereka membuat lawatan rasmi. "Pada 2008, kos lawatan perdana menteri (Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) dan timbalannya ketika itu (Najib) adalah RM5,597,583.20," kata Chua. Menurut beliau, apabila Najib mengambil alih tampuk pemerintahan negara pada 2009 kos lawatan perdana menteri dan timbalannya terus meningkat kepada RM6,041,934.35 dan jumlah itu melambung kepada RM9,807,310.63 bagi tahun ini. Membanding jumlah lawatan, Chua berkata antara 2008 hingga 2009, kos perbelanjaan perjalanan adalah 7.94 peratus manakala daripada 2009 hingga 2010 ia naik kepada 62.32 peratus. "Saya percaya semasa lawatan rasmi jabatan perdana menteri atau timbalan perdana menteri terpaksa membayar perbelanjaan boros isteri perdana menteri," katanya.
Sementara itu, jawapan kepada soalan kedua Tian berhubung kos pengurusan dan pembangunan Jabatan Perdana Menteri, timbalannya serta agensi berkaitan mendedahkan jumlah itu yang berjumlah RM4.3 bilion pada 2006 melonjak kepada RM10.2 bilion tahun lalu. "Ini bermakna ia meningkat 136 peratus dan ini tidak termasuk perbelanjaan tambahan," kata Tian.
Peruntukan itu mewakili 8.55 peratus daripada jumlah peruntukan bajet yang bernilai RM212 bilion. "Ia menerima peruntukan ketiga terbesar mengikut agihan kementerian dengan RM35.76 billion untuk Kementerian Pelajaran dan RM31.2 bilion untuk Kementerian Kewangan," kata Tian         |

The expenditure in 2007 and 2008 was around RM6.9mil for each year, while this year, RM8.1mil had been spent by the Prime Minister’s Department as at Sept 30. “The allocation and expenditure by the offices of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister are part of the activities placed under general administration on the Prime Minister’s Department.

The expenses incurred under general administration from 2006 to 2009 were RM460mil, RM629mil, RM777mil and RM637mil respectively, while RM452mil had been spent until Sept 30 this year. Tian Chua (PKR-Batu), who posed the questions to Nazri, questioned the drastic jump in the expenditure incurred by official delegations after Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak took over the helm of the country. “Comparing the spending pattern between Abdullah and Najib, between 2008 and 2010, the expenditure increased by 75.2%,” he said. He pointed out that between 2008 and 2009, the expenses incurred by the official delegations rose by 7.94%, and between 2009 and 2010 rose by 62.32%. Source : The Star         |

| Veteran Sabah Umno leader quits, vows to boot out party Posted: 18 Oct 2010 11:00 PM PDT By Michael Kaung KOTA KINABALU: Disillusioned Sabah Umno strongman Karim Ghani has quit the party in anger over its leaders failure to fight for the rights of the people of Sabah. Karim said his resignation took effect on Oct 18. He said he had no immediate plans to join any other political party but indicated he would support any party that would fight for the state’s rights. Karim, 70, is among former USNO leaders including the late Tun Mustapha Harun, its founder, who were instrumental in bringing Umno into Sabah in 1990. The first Sabah Umno information chief, Karim said that he had become disillusioned with Umno’s failure to fulfil its objective of fighting for Sabahans’ rights and welfare. Karim said he has sent his resignation letter to Umno headquaters in Kuala Lumpur and the party’s headquarters in Sabah on Monday. “My decision is irrevocable. I will remain party-less until I find the right political party which fully subscribes to my 28-point vision,” he told a news conference. The veteran politician declared that he is ready to join any political party which will include his 28-point vision in its manifesto. “I hope there is political party out there that is willing to fight for the 28 points which will benefit the people of Sabah,” he said. Karim’s 28-point vision includes the 20-Point agreement that led to the formation of Malaysia. It also called for a review of the 20-Point Agreement. He also wants the government to fight for the state’s autonomy. He said the chief minister should be appointed by the Head of State on the recommendation of the people after the state elections, unlike currently when the state leadership is decided by the federal government. Two-party system Among others, his 28-point vision demands the revival of the Amanah Rakyat Tun Mustapha; an increase in the oil and gas royalty to 20% from the current 5%; appointment of one minister or assistant minister to resolve the illegal immigrants problem in Sabah. Karim said he hopes that a two-party system would take root in the country with perhaps only Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat contesting in the General Election. “If we like the current situation then we vote for the Barisan but if we want changes, we should think which political parties we want to select. “Other political parties, whatever promises they made can never keep the promises as most of the things (they promised) need approval from the federal government including hospital, police and education matters. “If we are not in line with the federal government, the application would end up nowhere. So if there are any local parties that want to help the people in Sabah, they should make a decision whether to join Barisan or Pakatan,” he said. Asked if he would be joining any political party, he said he would make an announcement about his plan or decision in due time. “If Umno wants me to give an explanation why I quit Umno, I will give an explanation to them,” said Karim. He also downplayed the Sabah Progressive Party’s promise to restore the state’s autonomy within Malaysia. SAPP, he said, can promise anything but the authority to implement the promises lie with the federal government and SAPP would have to become part of the federal government through either the BN or Pakatan Rakyat. “SAPP should either join Barisan or Pakatan if they want to fight for the people in Sabah…they should join a party that will lead the country,” he said. “I brought Umno into Sabah and I hope to send Umno out of Sabah,” said Karim, adding that he would support whichever candidate that subscribed to his 28-point vision in the coming Batu Sapi parliamentary by-election. .         |
Pertemuan itu dipercayai diatur setelah penasihat PKR, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, dilaporkan meminta SAPP supaya tidak bertanding bagi memberi laluan kepada calon PKR. Ketika diminta mengulas pertemuan esok, Timbalan Presiden SAPP, Datuk Eric Majimbun, berkata Majlis Tertinggi parti itu telah membuat keputusan untuk bertanding di Batu Sapi dan keputusan itu tidak mungkin diubah. 
Urusan perjalanan rasmi Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak dan timbalannya, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin naik mendadak sehingga melebihi 75.2 peratus daripada perangkaan 2008.
"Rosmah Mansor mempunyai rekod sebagai berbelanja besar di London pada 2008, saya percaya jumlah kos yang tinggi itu adalah untuk menampung perbelanjaan isterinya, sebagai contoh lawatan (Rosmah) ke Forum Antarabangsa Wanita di Washington dan New York pada Mei lalu," kata Chua dalam satu kenyataan media hari ini.
Pada pementangan Bajet 2011, Jumaat lalu, Najib mengumumkan peruntukkan RM18.14 bilion kepada Jabatan Perdana Menteri.
Anwar berkata, Ahli Parlimen Kota Kinabalu daripada DAP, Dr. Hiew King Cheu akan mengetuai kempen pilihan raya kecil berkenaan.| You are subscribed to email updates from kalam Perantau To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
