THE WAY TO GO- Hear the words of New Youth Chief

New Youth Chief accepts
responsibility with humility.









A New Beginning
and ...
the Way To Go .









Newly elected Umno Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin admitted that the campaign for the post had been long and resulted in highly strung emotions, but stressed it was now time for all to “rise above our various differences.”

“I moderated my expectations and my ambitions. It’s all a blessing because I really feel that I basically just came back from the dead."

“I just want to now make sure, by God’s grace, I can make something good out of the opportunity given to me.”

"This is not a majority. I only won because it was a three-way fight. Thus it is important for us to consolidate our strength,” Khairy said in his victory speech.
“After all, we competed as friends. In the new exco line-up we have the mix of brave youth (Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo’s campaign slogan), dare to change (Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir’s slogan) and friendship."

“I urge all of you to be with me when we go to the trenches and face the Opposition. We have great challenges before us,” he said.

Abdullah noted that in any election there would be winners and losers but when the choice has been made,it was in the interest of the party to accept the new line-up.

“This applies to all--the supreme council and the wings. Only then can UMNO become strong,” he said.

Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil is the new Wanita UMNO head.

Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil unseated Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz while Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin won the Youth chief’s post, defeating two other strongmen.

The new Puteri chief is Papar MP Datuk Rosnah Shirlin Abdul Rashid, who beat five other candidates, while her deputy is Shahanim Mohd Yusof.

Hear the words of the out-going UMNO President

Be still and listen !!!

"For Umno to remain relevant, the party has to fuse its past strengths with the new elements necessary for survival and success," outgoing Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.

Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today urged the people to give incoming Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak the unflinching support to enable him to take
Malaysia to greater heights.

"There are times when a decision creates controversy, there are times when a decision will not receive the support of all."

It is the duty and responsibility of a leader to decide what is best for the people and the country even though it may cause unease.

Nevertheless, despite any reservations we may have, our leader should be given the trust and stability of mind to allow him to continue to remain rational and objective.

Heavy is the trust placed in the Prime Minister, who must fulfill his obligations as leader of the party, of our people, and of our nation.

"On his shoulders our hopes rest, for he is accountable to secure our future," he said.

Meanwhile newly-elected deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin hopes Malaysians will endorse the team that was voted in by the UMNO delegates and to close ranks in face of very challenging times.

" I thank God for what he has bestowed upon me,which is a big responsibility and something that I will take seriously," he said.

The three vice-presidents are Datuk Seri Ahamad Zahid Hamidi,Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein and Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

MALAYSIA, 1st IN EDUCATION EXPENDITURE : UNESCO

Dear friends,

As I was reading news provided by various countries in the net, this one particular news caught my attention. For those who had questioned about what the Malaysian government has done to upgrade our educational level isn't good enough, well, here's one GOOD news that might change your mind...

RADIO PHILIPPINES

MALAYSIA, THAILAND TOPS IN EDUCATION EXPENDITURE

'Malaysia had the highest allocation of total public expenditure for education at 25%, and is making good progress towards the Education for All (EFA) goals, according to a report released by UNESCO Tuesday. The share of total government expenditure devoted to education ranged from 9% in Japan to 25% in Malaysia and Thailand, said the 2009 EFA Global Monitoring Report -- Overcoming Inequality: Why Governance Matters.

The median percentage of gross national product (GNP) devoted to education was 3.6% in East Asia in 2006, with Cambodia allocating 1.8%, compared with 6.6% in Malaysia and 4.7% in Australia. UNESCO director-general Koichiro Matsuura said when financial systems failed, the consequences were highly visible and governments acted, compared to the impact when education failed. Malaysia has also one of the highest teaching staff increase in the region, with an increase of more than 30% since 1999.

UNESCO said East Asia and the Pacific accounted for nearly 13% of the world’s out-of-school population in 2006 - equivalent to 9.5 million non-enrolled children, an increase of 3.5 million since 1999. It said 75 million children of primary school age were not in school throughout the world, including just under one-third of the relevant age group in sub-Saharan Africa.

These children are being deprived of the opportunity to get their feet on the first rung of a ladder that could give them the skills and knowledge to climb out of poverty and break the transmission of disadvantage across generations. Malaysia, along with Cambodia, Myanmar and South Korea, made extraordinary progress in reducing the number of children not enrolled, but the number of out-of-school children increased in the Cook Islands, Fiji, the Philippines and Vanuatu.

The report also showed that almost all children reached the last grade of primary education in Malaysia, Brunei and Korea, as compared to Cambodia and Laos which had the survival rates of 55% and 62% respectively. On children who completed the primary education cycle, UNESCO said girls were at a disadvantage for entering secondary education, adding that the transition rate from primary to secondary education was about 90% in Malaysia, Fiji, the Philippines and Korea.

UNESCO said a recent monitoring work underlined the appalling and unequal state of education infrastructure and quality in 11 developing countries, including Malaysia and the Philippines. In terms of fundamental resources for learning, only 20% or less attending schools with no libraries in Malaysia, as compared to the Philippines where half of students attend schools with no libraries and about the same percentage, have no textbooks.'

So what do you think? Don`t you feel lucky enough that you're born in such country that cares so much about education?

SEE WHAT BUKIT GANTANG BY- ELECTION COMING TO..???

THREE MORE DAYS to Nomination Day and eleven days to election day, you can already feel the heat.

You can see arrays of party flags flying everywhere, loudspeakers of ceramah out–beating each other at close range and faithful party workers reaching out to the locals from door to door and face to face wooing voters. No big deal that is common sight in any town that is going to have any election soon.

But what attract/enrage me most is seeing how man can use such an intelligence to create these banners below in the name of upholding ideologies.

CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WRONG CAUSE









Another hot happening is that local people become victims of circumstances when followers become rowdy when told to disperse because they have no permit to hold those night ceramahs.

Because of that, we need the police and FRU for the sake of the safety for the locals. And this has become a common sight -- police pondok-to serve us. So much resources wasted to contain demos cracy people.




And this is what PAKATAN leaders got to say about their Hajat in Bukit Gantang by-election

Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham(Perak DAP chief): 'the Bukit Gantang by-election is not just another by-election but a referendum for the people of Perak to decide whether the Barisan Nasional (BN)’s way to take over the state government is acceptable.'

Obvious - 'DAP is using PAS to secure its power in Perak by supporting Nizar'—CAKAP TAK SAMA HAJAT

Abdul Hadi: ..'dalam Islam, rasuah adalah dosa besar yang dilaknati Allah..'- IDEOLOGY MISSION IN HEART NOT THE INTEREST OF THE RAKYAT THE PRIORITY.

Anwar: 'Nizar menjadi lambang pembela nasib rakyat pelbagai kaum di Perak'..???? OR IS THIS THE ULTIMATE END??

But guys, Bukit Gantang has 13 districts which need development for its basic needs and amenities badly and not more political instability, huh?

LOOK WHO SHOULD BE IN POWER IN PERAK...???

Like wild fire in the bush, there are many allegations hurled at the legitimacy of the present ruling government in Perak. To understand why, we should first understand the cries of Why the rakyat should support the new government in Perak.

Good to look at the facts behind it for the good of all.



6 SEBAB MENGAPA RAKYAT MESTI
SOKONG KERAJAAN BARU NEGERI PERAK.

1. Barisan Nasional Perak mempunyai 31 sokongan Ahli Dewan dan 28 daripadanya di bawah satu lambang parti iaitu Barisan Nasional.

2. Permainan lompat parti adalah ciptaan Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Oleh itu terimalah akibatnya umpamakan `senjata makan tuan.`

3. Setelah melihat kerakusan kuasa dan penyelewangan yang berlaku dalam kerajaan negeri di bawah kerajaan campuran,ketiga-tiga ADUN Bebas membuat pengorbanan besar dengan mengenepikan kepentingan peribadi jawatan dan menggadai masa depan politik mereka untuk negara dan bangsa.

4. DYMM Sultan Perak berhak melantik Menteri Besar baru yang mendapat kepercayaan sebahagian besar daripada ahli- ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri dan secara automatik mendirikan kerajaan baru di Perak. Mengikut undang- undang tubuh negeri Perak 16(2) mengatakan bahawa rakyat wajar menyokong pendirian ADUN yang mereka pilih.

5. Mengikut fasal (18)(2) DYMM Sultan Perak bolehlah memutuskan mengikut pertimbangannya sendiri melantik seorang Menteri Besar dan keengganan untuk membubarkan DUN.

6. Apabila YB Nizar Jamaluddin mengistiharkan pembubaran DUN tanpa perkenanan DYMM Sultan Perak bermakna beliau telah menerima hakikat bahawa beliau tidak lagi mendapat kepercayaan sebilangan besar Ahli Dun. Maka mengikut pertimbangan DYMM Sultan Perak, maka wajarlah dilantik seorang Menteri Besar yang baru.
