PR --> Putrajaya = DRAFT for FLIP FLOP Government - 2

They are so-called married for ONLY 1 purpose - POWER / PUTRAJAYA
PKR .... oh i mean ANWAR (since its all about ANWAR ) : Want to be PM by any mean. and revenge on UMNO
PAS and DAP... well do i need to say more on their aim.... but atleast they are honest and firm on their IDEOLOGY for now.... but for how long?


Anwar Ibrahim semakin kemaruk kuasa apabila cuba menolak pakatannya yang lain, DAP dan PAS bagi memberi laluan partinya PKR menerajui Selangor — secara mutlak.

Malam semalam saya hadir satu perjumpaan dengan beberapa sahabat yang rapat dengan PAS Selangor. PAS amat kecewa dengan sikap PKR itu. PKR mahu membolot sepenuhnya negeri itu. ‘‘Kalau macam ini Pakatan Rakyat akan pecah. DAP pun sedang marah sekarang.”

Permainan Anwar dan konco-konconya termasuklah anak emasnya, Azmin Ali amat licik sekali. Anwar yang pernah menderhaka dengan Umno, juga sanggup melakukan perkara yang sama dengan PAS dan DAP — asalkan hajatnya tercapai.

DAP's Karpal : “Buat masa sekarang, yang paling utama ialah mengambil alih Putrajaya daripada BN,”

Apa akan berlaku selepas PR mengambil alih kerajaan persekutuan nanti?

“Jika DAP berkompromi, ia bermakna ia menerima Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam dan jika PAS berkompromi, bermakna ia menerima negara sekular dan ini akan bertentangan dengan prinsip mereka sendiri.

Nik Aziz, who is also Kelantan Menteri Besar, said he deemed Karpal Singh's rejection of PAS' idea of an Islamic state for Malaysia if the Pakatan coalition of DAP-PAS-PKR came into power, as the latter's own personal opinion.

"As long as they (who do not agree with PAS' policies) cannot prove that our Islamic policies are wrong, we will continue to strive to make Malaysia an Islamic state," he told reporters after chairing the weekly Kelantan state executive council meeting here.

He added that the DAP thus far had not objected to PAS' Islamic state concept and that only a "few leaders were grumbling about it."

Nik Abdul Aziz said this when asked to comment on Karpal Singh's comments in an interview with a news portal recently that he rejected PAS' concept of an Islamic state for Malaysia.

PR --> Putrajaya = DRAFT for FLIP FLOP Government

DAP's Karpal : “Buat masa sekarang, yang paling utama ialah mengambil alih Putrajaya daripada BN,” 

Apa akan berlaku selepas PR mengambil alih kerajaan persekutuan nanti?

“Jika DAP berkompromi, ia bermakna ia menerima Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam dan jika PAS berkompromi, bermakna ia menerima negara sekular dan ini akan bertentangan dengan prinsip mereka sendiri.

Malaysian Insider : Pendirian DAP kekal, tidak kepada negara Islam

Meskipun DAP semakin selesa membina ikatan kukuh bersama PAS dalam Pakatan Rakyat (PR) manakala parti-parti sekular Umno dan PKR pula giat memikat para ulama, DAP masih berpendirian menentang usaha pembentukan sebuah negara Islam.
Sementara PR menyasarkan impian mahu menawan Putrajaya dengan mengakhiri penguasaan lebih lima dekad Barisan Nasional (BN), persoalan yang masih menjadi perhatian ramai - sama ada DAP sanggup menerima perjuangan PAS untuk membina sebuah negara Islam di Malaysia?

Bagi Pengerusi kebangsaan DAP Karpal Singh, jawapannya ialah “tidak”.

“Mustahil bagi DAP berkompromi dalam hal ini. Kami tidak boleh kompromi agar negara berubah menjadi negara Islam (jika PR mengambil alih kerajaan pada masa depan),” kata Karpal.

“Ia sebuah negara sekular. Saya percaya Allahyarham Tunku Abdul Rahman (perdana menteri pertama) pernah menyebut sebelum ini mengenai Malaysia,” kata ahli politik veteran ini kepada The Malaysian Insider.

Karpal yang genap 70 tahun hari ini memberitahu, tidak pernah wujud kekeliruaan mengenai status Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara sekular.

Karpal menyalahkan bekas perdana menteri Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad kerana mengubah realiti sebuah negara sekular menerusi kenyataan-kenyataan politiknya yang dibuat oleh beliau pada masa-masa lalu, yang telah “mengelirukan orang ramai” berkenaan identiti Malaysia.

“Perlembagaan menyediakan peruntukan mengenai perkara ini. Tiada peruntukan dalam perlembagaan yang mengatakan Malaysia sebuah negara Islam.

“Agama rasmi Malaysia ialah Islam tetapi tidak bermakna ia sebuah negara Islam,” kata beliau lagi.

PAS yang kelihatan sudah berjaya menawan hati masyarakat bukan Islam sejak kebelakangan ini mendakwa DAP juga mula memahami dan menerima idea PAS untuk mewujudkan sebuah negara Islam.

Karpal kelihatan terkejut apabila disebutkan bahawa PAS dalam ceramah-ceramahnya memaklumkan bahawa DAP sudah menerima konsep negara Islam secara perlahan-lahan dan menghormati pendirian PAS dalam hal itu.

Bagaimanapun Karpal menegaskan, kesemuanya tertakluk kepada undang-undang dan peraturan persekutuan.

“Pada 1988, Mahkamah Agung telah memutuskan bahawa Malaysia adalah sebuah negara sekular,” katanya.

“Pada 1990, ketika satu ceramah di Sungai Pinang, akhbar-akhbar memetik saya mengatakan (bina) ‘negara Islam dengan melangkah mayat saya’,” katanya.

“Mereka (pemberita) tidak membuat laporan konteks kenyataan saya ketika.

“Saya mengatakan demikian dalam hubungan kepada perlembagaan. Tetapi saya kekal dengan pendirian itu, mengatakan perkara yang sama sekarang,” kata Karpal.

Ikatan antara DAP dan PAS bukan sesuatu yang baru dalam bentuk PR.

Kedua-dua parti itu pernah menjalin kerjasama dengan mewujudkan Barisan Alternatif pada pilihan raya umum 1999, tetapi gagal meneruskan jalinan ekoran isu negara Islam.

“Kita pernah menjalin pakatan pada masa lalu tetapi kita gagal. Apa yang membezakan sekarang ialah kami bersatu dalam mengetepikan musuh bersama iaitu Barisan Nasional.

“Buat masa sekarang, yang paling utama ialah mengambil alih Putrajaya daripada BN,” katanya.

Apa akan berlaku selepas PR mengambil alih kerajaan persekutuan nanti?

Karpal mengakui bahawa beliau belum dapat melihat bagaimana PAS atau DAP boleh berkompromi dalam isu ini.

“Akan tiba masa nanti apabila kita perlu menghadapi hakikat ini. Bagaimana kita akan berkomrpomi?

“Jika DAP berkompromi, ia bermakna ia menerima Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara Islam dan jika PAS berkompromi, bermakna ia menerima negara sekular dan ini akan bertentangan dengan prinsip mereka sendiri.

“Apa yang menyatukan Pakatan ialah PKR. Tanpa PKR ia akan kelihatan seperti yang sama sebelum ini,” kata Karpal.

Bagaimanapun Ahli Parlimen Bukit Gelugor memberi jaminan perkara itu sentiasa dibincangkan oleh DAP.

Difahamkan DAP dan PAS hanya akan menangani isu ini apabila mereka memenangi kerusi majoriti dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang.

Pemimpin-pemimpin DAP masih meletakkan harapan bahawa PAS akan mengubah pendiriannya dalam isu negara Islam.

“Pemimpin-pemimpin PAS yang liberal, progresif merupakan kunci dalam mencapai persefahaman ke arah kompromi yang baik,” katanya lagi.

JPA scholarship , matriculation - HOW ELSE TO QUALIFY?

The Human Rights Party (HRP) has warned that it will torch a 1Malaysia logo if the government does not respond to its demand to help the Indian students who scored top marks in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examination.



PM to solve woes says Dr Subra

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak will resolve the controversy over the awarding of the Public Service Department (PSD) scholarship, especially the overseas programme, and the entry into matriculation programme in local universities, said MIC vice-president Dr S Subramaniam today.

The human resources minister said he raised the two issues at the weekly cabinet meeting here today, and the prime minister agreed to look into them personally.

“The prime minister has given an undertaking to resolve the matter,” he said in a statement here.

It was reported that many SPM leavers with excellent grades have complained that their applications to do the matriculation programme and to secure the PSD scholarship were rejected.

Many of them have since appealed against the decision.

Many parents of the affected students also took up the matter to the relevant government departments and to the various political parties, including MIC.

Subramaniam said he decided to bring up the two issues at the Cabinet meeting again today to find an amicable solution.

Confident of an amicable solution

The minister said he also spoke to the Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on the matriculation issue where many Indian students with good grades had their applications rejected.

He said a series of discussions was also held with the Education Ministry’s secretary-general on the intake of students to do matriculation courses.

“On the PSD scholarship, I have already held several meetings with the PSD and several more round of discussions will be held in the next few days or so,” he said.

Subramaniam expressed confidence that the issues could be resolved through negotiations with the government.

“While I agree that there appears to be unhappiness and a sense of mistreatment amongst the affected students and their parents, it has to be understood that the entire process is not over yet.

“The government is still in the process of considering appeals from the students. Besides, the results for the PSD scholarship for local universities have also yet to be announced,” he said.

Subramaniam said the process to resolve the issues was being undertaken in stages: “I am confident that an amicable solution could be negotiated with the government.”

“The government is aware of the situation and is taking every step to resolve these issues. And rest assured that MIC is making every attempt to find an amicable solution to the two issues. We are closely monitoring these issues to ensure fairness to the eligible students,” he added.

It is believed that the government was responding to the recent case of Indian high achievers not being able to secure scholarships or places in tertiary institutions.

The Human Rights Party, which highlighted the issue, has threatened to organise a protest and torch the 1Malaysia logo if the government does not resolve the matter.

My expression :

Year after year, we read that many top scorers failed to receive the PSD scholarships from the Malaysian Government. So its been a annual affair......

2008 PSD schlarship - Who will Walk their talk??
JPA Scholarship - Rational Review

And of course , some kind of temporary solutions / alternatives given annually...
Now we have a new PM with 1MALAYSIA concept.......
1 minister , and 5 dept ministers...... the most government reps (malaysian indians) in history i suppose...

So..... will the government deliver some real good news, at least now.....

New head of UM's Indian Studies Dept


Last year’s controversy over the Universiti Malaya Indian Studies Department’s (ISD) non-Indian head is expected to be resolved soon.

The university’s deputy vice-chancellor, Hamzah Abdul Rahman (right) confirmed that a new head for the ISD would be appointed by June this year.

“Presently we have received 35 applications for the position. A total of 11 Indians have been shortlisted based on merit,” Hamzah said.

The ISD was in the spotlight last year following a decision to appoint a Malay lecturer as the department’s head on the basis that there were too much internal politicking.

The decision did not go down well with Indian NGOs and the MIC who called for intervention into the department’s administrative affairs.

Following that, vice-chancellor Ghauth Jasmon said that the staff was given three months to resolve internal issues within.

MIC Youth, led by its secretary-general C Sivarajah, sent a memorandum to the vice-chancellor’s office calling for an Indian to be appointed.

They have recommended former department head K Thilagavathy to lead the ISD.
