“The judiciary needs to enhance its stature and credibility in the eyes of the public. Before I end my term, I will table a Parliamentary Bill to establish a Judicial Appointments Commission. Such a Commission will propose judicial appointments in a transparent and merit-based manner.” (Full statement from Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on his resignation, 08 Oct 2008.)
One week later, someone goes senile. So – kaput.
The new Chief Justice is (junior judge) Zaki Azmi.

Four more ‘reforms’ to go.
Well, where do we go from here. Who will listen to us. Don’t cry for me, oh…Malaysia.
Abdullah needs to reform himself first before he talk about reforming the tainted financial and judiciary institutions. Why are we so naive to still place hope on a non-performer!?
It is better for the rakyat to try and use the last option open to them…change the rotten govt.
The royalties have joined the circus. Use the only avenue open to us, rely on ourselves… join the People Power!
They need a CJ who’s sympathetic to their cause. Who else do you expect?
Wont matter now. End of the world is coming soon. Don’t believe me?

Go thru the crash course.
if u aspect reform,it is not from corrupted umno/bn.it is certainly must come from pakatan rakyat government.umno/bn never learnt,all political rethorics…
p/s – Picked up The Edge today …. and saw big picture of YB Eli inside. Congrats!!
im really interested in a piece at this blog regarding Abdullah.
it seems like Abdullah is doing something that several UMNO leaders dislike with the new and improve ACA.what Abdullah is doing right now is like “Abdullah vs UMNO”.certainly what Abdullah is up to before he vacant seat is not well-receives by some people and it’s not a very popular action.
then again the thing that’s not very popular is the best.surely many UMNO people worry for their sorry ass right now.
It is very disheartening to read about the wrongs that are happening in our beloved country.
Why are our beloved Rulers keeping silent over the oppression by the evil BN.
Aren’t they supposed to be protectors of the rakyat or are they only interested to protect their own ricebowls.
So sad!!!
Makes me wonder about their role and what they stand for???

I’l be brief and just post it here.
Liz,
I’ve been following the enegy debate for some years now. Coal fired plants causes global warming and has to be phased out. Oil and gas fired plants too and are non renewable sources of energy. Hydro is the best although its causes some ecological damage. Besides, its limited.
Solar energy is still not feasible commercially, unreliable and more expensive. Energy cannot be stored. Not suited for tropical climates like Malaysia. A single cloud passing over can disrupt power from 100% output to 1%. High maintenance cost for solar mirrors and cells. We are still technologically behind on solar energy. And so are most other alternative sources like wind power, etc.
The only solution left to mankind is nuclear energy whether we like it or not. The US is now embarking on 40 new nuclear power plants. India expected to built 150 new such plants. So is China. Nuclear power is clean except for the waste which has to be stored.
Nuclear power is inevitable! We have no choice given the amount of energy we need.
The only viable renewable source of energy is the uranium-plutonium-thorium 3 stage cycle.

“Storm in a teacup. I think what a man and a woman do with each other in the private is his own business. Why should double standards be applied to anybody – even a politician? If the majority of Malaysian men are having a good time with their women partner, then it’s really not for us to care. Even politicians are human beings”. The MIC had better come up with a good explaination instead, regarding the nude photo fiasco surrounding its Youth Member Dr. Punithan Shan.
