Not infrequently, some wonder aloud if there is any hope for Malaysia. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? If we don’t see light at the end of the tunnel, is there any point in persisting with the struggle?
What if the darkness is so thick that it seems almost impenetrable?
The answer is yes, we must persist and persevere in the struggle for a more just Malaysia even when the night seems darkest. Why?
The struggle for reforms and the journey towards justice itself IS the light that awakens the people and gives them hope.
It takes only one candle to pierce the darkness. And so it is with us – just one voice speaking up for Truth and Justice is enough to shine a light in the darkness. Imagine if we had a dozen voices. Or what about a hundred voices, how dazzling would that light be.
This is why we must keep our focus on the journey and persist no matter what.

INDONESIA TO EXPORT 10,000 TONNES OF CRUDE COCONUT OIL TO MALAYSIA AS DEMAND KEEPS GETTING HIGHER / Sunday, 16 Jan 20223:26 PM MYT

Import means licences, negotiating regulations and large trade amounts. Growing locally means few intermediaries, few regulations and small trade amounts.
We have many departments and ministries (Primary Industries, Rural Development), to promote agriculture. What is their benefit to our farmers? I saw a luxury bus owned by MARDI, transporting its own football team!
Malaysia is a net importer of food, no sense of food security as Government only focus on palm oil plantation. Rise in food price will encourage more to become farmers? About time to revive Universiti Pertanian?
Ah hear what you are saying, glissantia. Notice local cooking palm oil now cost about RM16 per 2kg bottle Just a year plus ago it was just about RM10 a 2kg bottle and a few years back before that was about RM11 for 5kg.
High food price could bring down PN2.0¿ probably so.
Palm oil, from Raw to Finish, is sourced and processed locally. So, what is the reason for the price to increase. This is a local product. Are we using western laborers ? Are we using top quality aviation fuel for transportation (for palm oil product)? Are the processing machineries made from precious metals? Or are people involved in sourcing, production, distribution and retail have a humongous greed for money, money, money.

That’s a good one sir, the best statement yet. Hallo, Kepong MP, the statement “logging activities could be good for the tiger population” is from them. They and their statements are always matchless. So, please drop talking about National Geographic, World Wildlife Fund, Rain Forests, Grasslands, Savannas, and Mangrove Swamps. These things are Greek to them.
It is not the issue of who gain power and rescind, the issue is what were your bosses and their entourage doing during the 24 months they were ruling. Why they could not hold the fort. They lost the fort so wimpy miserably. Like in a chess game, your opponents were at a different level. They knew how to play the game with their eyes closed.

As suggested before, Industrial Development should take place on the mainland. Not Haphazardly here and there but holistically involving space, recreational facilities, green gardens etc, etc.

What repercussions, shriek? You MIMPI? They are building a stronger, better foundation. Can’t you see how they are going about building themselves up to meet the challenges of GE15. Wake up shriek, what are you and your boys doing to meet GE15. From east to west your members are abandoning ship already.
Just think, they want to build brick and mortar to be a rich man’s playground, seems to be far more important than their concern to protect your daily lives, lively hood (food n shelter) and your way of life. Pay careful attention. Whatever remuneration they offer will not be sustainable for you, which any way you look at it. There will be up’s and down in one’s life but with land and sea, one need not beg for food to put on one’s table, for one’s own family.

Lets see how these is going to work out for them.
The current school building looks so very nice, a beautiful bungalow compared to an old village house. Anyway this fits in right in to what Pen CM said earlier, ” the state government was committed to ensuring that mission schools were equipped with good and comfortable infrastructure to ensure that their students could enjoy a more conducive and secure learning environment.” So, now that the issue has come to light, what is the state Govt waiting for? Go ahead and buy the land with the current school building. It is so mind boggling, this immature political drama just for this.… Read more »
If the Edu ministry no longer wants to support the school due to the purchase of the land and whatnot, all it had to do was communicate with the local state govt and ask if they are interested in doing so and just hand over the school building to them.

Remember back in the sixties, the main building was a single story long building with about 4 or 6 classrooms with the admin office in the middle. There were 2 or 3 more similar… Read more »
