Polls fever distracting from economic reforms, says CIMB boss

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 — Top banker Datuk Seri Nazir Razak says economic reforms are not moving as fast as was hoped for apparently due to distractions from a general election which has to be held by early next year.

KEBANJIRAN PENIAGA WARGA ASING MENYUKARKAN RAKYAT TEMPATAN MENCARI REZEKI

Kehadiran penjaja asing ancam peluang penduduk tempatan berniaga

TAMPARULI 31st Jan, 2012: Kehadiran ramai penjaja disyaki pendatang asing di sekitar pekan ini didakwa mewujudkan masalah khususnya kepada penduduk tempatan yang hendak berniaga kecil-kecilan di sini.

Pengerusi Kelab Tamparuli Sabah (KTS), Francis Soon mendakwa ekoran kebanjiran peniaga warga asing di sini, ramai penduduk tempatan terpaksa bersaing mendapatkan ruang berniaga.

“Sejak kebelakangan ini, jumlah penjaja warga asing di kawasan pekan Tamparuli semakin ramai,” dakwanya.

Beliau berkata sekiranya dominasi oleh penjaja warga asing itu tidak dikawal, rakyat tempatan bakal menghadapi kesukaran untuk mencari rezeki.

“Tidak mustahil, dalam tempoh singkat orang asing akan menguasai kesemua tapak berjaja di sini,”

TRIBUNAL NEEDED TO RESOLVE SABAH’S NATIVE LAND DISPUTES: CHIEF JUDGE

Tribunal needed to resolve Sabah’s native land disputes: Chief Judge

KOTA KINABALU: A tribunal or commission is needed to resolve disputes involving native land in Sabah instead of these matters ending up in the courts, Chief Judge for Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Richard Malanjumsaid Monday.

He said such disputes could be resolved faster as the burden of proof in terms of land occupation would likely be not as stringent as in the courts.

Malanjum said a Sabah native land tribunal could be modelled along a similar body in New Zealand that had proven to be effective.

There were currently some 40 cases involving native land disputes in the Sabah courts, he said at a symposium on Sabah native land rights here.

EUROPLUS’ RM7BILLION QUESTIONS NEEDS ANSWERS

Europlus’ RM7bil concession needs answers

At a time when many concessions are near expiry, a 60-year toll-road one perplexes

Jan 28, 2012: A CONCESSION for 60 years may well be a record for Malaysia and the only thing that comes to mind, which is longer than that is Malaysia’s agreement to supply water to Singapore for hundred years signed in the sixties when the latter moved out of Malaysia.

Even for the North-South Expressway, the original concession period was half of that at 30 years while its length was more than twice that of the proposed West Coast Expressway at over 770km.

Not only is the concession extremely long, it is also very expensive with a development cost before land acquisition estimated at a whopping RM7.07bn for 316 kms from Banting, Selangor to Taiping, Perak out which 224km or some 70% will be tolled.

Greed will be Pakatan’s downfall in Sabah

Pakatan Rakyat appears not to have learnt from its 2008 polls lesson in Sabah.

MENANG PETALING JAYA Jan 28, 2012: Pakatan Rakyat may be biting off more than it can chew in wanting to contest 52 out 60 seats in Sabah in the 13th general election.

It appears the coalition has forgotten the lashings it received in Sabah in the 2008 polls, when it contested in 59 constituencies and won only one through DAP’s Jimmy Wong in Sri Tanjung.

At the time, Pakatan was a loose coalition and had decided to walk alone in Sabah, declining to pair up with local parties.

History, it appears, has not yet taught Pakatan a lesson.

Banduan jahit mulut bantah layanan buruk

1 BISHKEK: Lebih 1,000 banduan Kyrgyzstan menjahit mulut mereka sebagai membantah keadaan hidup di penjara.

Tindakan itu adalah lanjutan daripada mogok lapar selama dua minggu, membabitkan 7,500 banduan yang dilancarkan berikutan serbuan oleh pasukan khas polis terhadap sebuah penjara di Bishkek.

Pegawai penjara berkata, unit khas itu dikerah untuk menyuraikan rusuhan oleh banduan yang merosakkan bilik tahanan mereka dan memotong tangan serta perut ketika operasi mencari yang dijalankan pengawal.

Banduan yang melancarkan mogok lapar itu menuntut peletakan jawatan Ketua Perkhidmatan Penjara dan pengurus pusat tahanan tempat tunjuk perasaan itu bermula.

Kira-kira 6,400 tahanan terbabit dalam mogok itu dan 1,175 menjahit mulut mereka. Bagaimanapun, 200 daripada mereka kemudian meminta bantuan perubatan untuk menanggalkan jahitan itu. - Reuters

Sabah DAP Secretary Dr Edwin Bosi said even after begging for so long for the RCI to be set up, until now the Umno-led BN Government is still keeping everyone guessing.

"But under PR, people in Sabah will not need to beg because the pact has agreed to establish the RCI, increase the oil royalty to 20 per cent and provide a RM1billion fund for the natives, when it comes to power in Putrajaya," he said.

"These offers are made without the people of Sabah begging for them,"

image Mere hours before Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim flew into Kota Kinabalu for a PKR Chinese New Year gathering, Jeffrey Kitingan issued a policy statement on the federal government’s payment of oil royalty to the oil states.

Jeffrey’s State Reform Party (STAR) wants a hike in the present measly five percent oil royalty to 50 percent, covering both the inner and outer waters. More on this in a while.

Earlier, just before Chinese New Year, the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) revealed its economic plan which, among others, held out without much hope for a 20 percent oil royalty. The party’s other ideas for the oil and gas resources are to try and squeeze export duties, excise, and land taxes.
