If you thought the divisions in Pakatan were bad enough, Umno itself is split. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this clip.
How bad can it get? Even staunch Umno supporter Ummi Hafilda has had enough! Now, isn’t this poetic? She helped in the effort to remove Anwar as DPM and now here she is in tears over the ouster of DPM Muhyiddin! Boo-hoo-hoo. You reap what you sow.
Dramatic news tonight! I just have one question for now: Will they finally question Najib or are they still busy questioning that 1MDB despatch rider? Read Francis Loh’s ‘Are we a ‘half-past-six’ democracy or what?’
Meanwhile, the fire at Bukit Aman broke out on the 10th floor of the old building (Tower 2), where the CID is located.
Concerns have surfaced in the province of British Columbia over Petronas’ massive potential investment in a liquefied natural gas project in the Canadian province.
Let’s get to the point.
Aliran’s P Ramakrishnan has issued a press release, in which he says:
If the PM can either confirm or deny what has been written concerning him on two counts, it can bring to a close the controversy that is presently raging.
The PM so far has not denied these but can he at least affirm that these are facts?
If he can do these, we need not go after those who are only acting in the interest of the nation. These innocent people need not be hounded and their lives made difficult.
The white line in the satellite image is the contour indicating 250 feet above sea level. If that’s the case, the image shows that the hill-clearing lies above the 250-feet threshold allowed in state guidelines.
Pol Gen Somyot advised his Malaysian counterpart Khalid Abu Bakar in talks at the Royal Thai Police Office that Malaysia must use the proper channels, including the Office of the Attorney-General and the Foreign Ministry, for information about Xavier Andre Justo because he is not a Malaysian national.
The police chief repeated Thailand’s position on no green light for Malaysian authorities to probe the Swiss man and reminded Mr Khalid that the police investigation into the case remained unfinished.
No luck there, I suppose. This is the second time in a week that the Malaysian authorities are trying to get access to Justo to determine if he should be extradited. The first unsuccessful attempt was on 16 July.
Meanwhile, is Najib now a lame-duck PM, in the same way that the Tunku was after May 13 and Abdullah Badawi after GE2008, before they stepped down (or were phased out, if you like)?
What’s going on at this steep hill-slope in Sungai Ara? It should be visible from the Jalan Kenari area, not far from Divine Mercy Church.
Is it a property development project? How steep is this hill-slope? Is it a Class III or Class IV hill-slope? Is it less than 250 feet above sea level?
Contrary to the Penang state government’s position…
Is it really true there has been no new land reclamation since 2008? What about the Bayan Mutiara land deal in 2011?
I blogged back then that Ivory Properties had received a letter of acceptance from PDC for ‘mixed development’ of 68 acres of existing land and 35 acres to be reclaimed.
The last time around, at the end of June 2015, petrol pump prices rose by 10-20 sen per litre under our ‘wonderful’ monthly float system even though the global oil price fell during the month. So what will the price be at the end of July given that the oil price has dropped even more in July (so far)?
We haven’t heard from Anwar for a while, so here is a message from him:
DS Anwar: “Rakyat Malaysia Perlu Bersatu dan Bertekad Untuk Selamatkan Negara Kita”
Berikut adalah perutusan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim kepada rakyat Malaysia yang disampaikan melalui peguam beliau pada 21 Julai 2015:
“Negara kita terus berada di dalam krisis yang semakin teruk, manakala kerajaan BN terus menafikan keadaan ini. Nilai mata wang ringgit merudum, tatkala rasuah dan skandal kewangan mencapai tahap yang belum pernah disaksikan sejak Merdeka lagi.
