Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Bill 2008
After so much fuss created around MACC Bill 2008, it's finally aprroved by Dewan Rakyat on 16-12-2008. It is first tabled on 10-12-2008 by Prime Minister for first reading on Dewan Rakyat, along with the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill as part of the government’s efforts to restore integrity and confidence in the country’s judicial system and in the war against corruption.Since then, it has been receiving mixed reactions from all the MPs.
Previously the ACA, which was under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Department, had evoked skepticism on its efficiently in curbing corruption. Therefore, MACC is introduced with some adjustments implemented. First of all, MACC is not under any of the ministry and now directly responsible to Parliament. It is also answerable to five independent bodies which are Anti-Corruption Advisory board, Special Committee on Corruption, Complaints Committee, Operations Review Panel and Corruption Prevention and Consultative Panel.
Its chief commissioner is given powers of a deputy public prosecutor, thus giving the commission powers to prosecute. In addition, its four commissioners can also order investigations into reports lodged with MACC.
From now on, MACC has becomes a reality. For better or for worse, we can wait and see. Let's us hope that MACC can truly carries out its duties efficiently and with integrity. Do not just change the name, but remains the same inside. Enforcement is important, but what is more important is that all our people realise the harmful effects of corruption to our society. Educate our children from now in order for us to have a brighter and harmony future. Let's us create another Lady of Justice or Justice Bao again!

Landslide at Bukit Antarabangsa
Bukit Antarabangsa is making headlines again, for unwanted reasons.
Massive Landslide at Bukit Antabangsa. That is the title of The Star newspaper. It's all occurred on 6th December 2008, 3.30am. A lot of people injured and died on the spot. We can see the authorities are trying their very best in rescuing those people.
Now, the infamous tag used by Moses Lim in "Under One Roof" immediately comes to my mind. "And the moral of the story is...?". Like usual, almost no one can tell what's the real moral of the story, including the our authorities in our country. I wonder how many persons actually still remember the Highland Towers apartment building who collapsed on 11th Dec 1993, killing 48 people. The location is just about 1.5 km from the latest landslide at Bukit Antarabangsa. The situation then is so tense that it grabs the whole nation in deep shock and grief.
Nearly 15 years passed on. Same situation reoccurs again. I wonder what things our authorities have learned in the past. Each and every time we can see the government flex their muscles when only the thing has occurs. Now only they said they want to review all the highland projects and things like that. Why they don't review it for the past 15 years? Now only they want to preserve nature? The phrase "Prevention is Better than Cure" doesn't seem to struck a thing in their mind.
We are repeating the same mistakes, again and again. I'm so scare that our next generations will follow in the footsteps in future. But, let's us all pray it won't happen.
Lastly, my deepest condolences to the landslides victims and their family members. Fear not, as the whole nation is behind you in walking on one of the darkest moments in your life.

支持坚决不道歉!
日前,一群披着印有爪夷文丝巾,自称是「马来青年大专毕业生联盟」(GGMM)的6名乌合之众,闯进马华总部来个兴师问罪,并提呈一封律师信给署理总会长,要求收回言论并做出道歉,更狮子开大口地索取高达200万令吉的赔偿金!
这个非法组织的代表表示,索取200万的赔偿金将全数捐给马来人及回教的基金。至于受提问为何提出索偿200的数额时,非法组织的代表莫哈末凯鲁解释说:“这是因为在独立时,200万名非马来人获得了马来西亚的公民权。”
一个从未听所说过的组织,大胆地挑起公民权课题,挑战非马来人在宪法上的公民权地位,并向200万名在独立时期得到公民权的非马来人进行罚款。用意到底是什么?
公民权并不是一方对于非马来人的施舍或怜悯,而是一种认同。非马来人对国家建设的努力与贡献大家是有目共睹的,并得到独立时政府的认同,所以取得了公民权。
在宪法上,非马来人的公民权地位是受到保障的。而且,也不容挑衅。
那只是一个非法小组织,并没有代表全民的资格。这个小组织竟然开出这种要求,试图挑起各族的不满与纷争,实在是居心可测。
另一方面,这个小组织闯到马华总部来,还开出无理的要求,无疑是在向马华、华社作出挑衅,对华社的尊严和地位加以鄙视,对马华的党威加以践踏。

马华同志们,我们绝对不会对这种无理的要求低头,更加不会道歉。
因为我们肩负的是整个华社的尊严!
我们忠于王室,我们都爱国。
支持马华署理总会长拿督斯里蔡细历不道歉的原则,因为我们没有错。错的是歪曲言论的有心人,该道歉的是偏激,无事生非的[马来青年大专毕业生联盟]!
同志们,我们必须团结一致,拳头打出外,手指弯进来!为华社权益奋斗!
而不是一味内斗内行,自乱阵脚!
若华社的权益被侵蚀,一切都会变得没有意义。
