Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) led by outspoken former chief minister Yong Teck Lee today announced that it would move a noconfidence motion against Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi when Parliament resumes on Monday. The announcement was made at the party headquarters in Kota Kinabalu at 2pm. SAPP who in recent months has questioned Abdullah's policies towards Sabah and the federal government's inability to solve the illegal migrants' problems in the state. The party has two members of parliament and four state representatives

This appeared to be the opening move by the BN component member which may see the Sabah-based political party eventually leaving the coalition. Political commentators pointed out that even if the party pulled out of BN to join Pakatan, the defection of the two MPs would not be sufficient for rock Abdullah's BN. Anwar needs 30 MPs to derail Abdullah and BN from power. However, Sabah sources claim that other BN coalition partners would follow SaAPP out of BN if the party starts the exodus.

Former Batu Kawan MP, Eyes Penang Gerakan Chief Post.

Penang Gerakan Youth chief Huan Cheng Guan has welcomed acting party president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon's decision to relinquish his post as the state chief.

He said it was time new blood took charge of the state party leadership. Huan, who is former Batu Kawan member of parliament and three term state gerakan Youth Chief, also confirmed that he was vying for the post in the coming state delegates conference in August.Huan said he had spoken to many members and they wanted change within the party, especially after the March 8 general election who have said that they prefer new young leader whereby someone who can introduce changes and bring the party to a higher level. An online survey which is being conducted by the Gerakan Youth Secretary's blog, showed that it is a tough fight between Chia Kwang Chye and Huan. Huan when commenting also said that he was confident of winning the post as he have most of the grassroots' support.

Huan Cheng Guan who is a former navy officer worked hard to reach the present position. Each and every grassroot members knows his background and his working style. Huan, who is a local born for sure is not a helicopter politician who was parachuted into the state. Huan said he believes that he can contribute invaluably to the party as the chairman in Penang. He knows that if he wins, there is a huge responsibility, which is to win back Penang and to put back Gerakan on track. Since the party needs someone who is local and willing to speak out for Penangites, than for sure, Huan is the right choice.

As for the Acting President who is vacating the post, Tan Sri Dr Koh should not favor any candidate who will be contesting the state chairman. There are certain articles by Tan Sri Dr Koh which favors Datuk Chia KC. It is time that we should let the grassroot members decide for the future leader, to lead and guide every Gerakan members, especially from this state. Tan Sri Dr. Koh should stick to his first statement that he prefers young blood to take over and more young bloods to be brought in. So let it be as it is now. The nomination for Branch level is done and election is few days away. Let all the grassroot members decide the Future Chairman Of Penang Gerakan / Penang Barisan Nasional Chairman. SATU HATI.

Satu Lagi Pembohongan Daripada Kerajaan DAP dan PDC.

“ SELAMAT DATANG KE BANDAR CASSIA BATU KAWAN”

Ucapan aluan yang menyapa setiap mata yang mengunjungi Batu Kawan tertera megah diatas papantanda berdekatan simpang ke Stadium Batu Kawan.

Dengan berimejkan seorang kanak kanak yang berwajah ceria dan berlatarbelakang warna biru laut, seakan memberi isyarat melambai setiap pengunjung yang menjejaki tanah Batu Kawan dengan satu janji dan harapan bahawa, kehidupan disini akan memberi nikmat hidup yang penuh kedamaian dan kesejasteraan serta dengan warisan alam semula jadi .yang lestari .

Tidak hanya sekadar ucapan “selamat Datang”, pengunjung keBatu Kawan juga dijanjikan dengan penuh harapan untuk memperolehi kehidupan yang akan memenuhi segala kebaikan dan keperluan, menerusi slogan yang dipaparkan berbunyi

“ KEHIDUPAN YANG HARMONI DENGAN ALAM SEMULAJADI”

Slogan atau moto ini memberi satu harapan bahawa kehidupan yang harmoni dengan berkongsi hidup bersama alam semulajadi akan dapat ditemui diBatu Kawan. Kerana disini PDC dengan bangga dan menjamin bahawa alam semulajadi akan menjadi teras utama untuk mereka miliki diBantu Kawan ini.

Telah menjadi tuntutan asasi manusia untuk memilih kehidupan yang harmoni dan sejahtera. Maka dengan kesedaran dan hasrat itu, manusia akan kembali untuk mendekati diri dengan sentuhan alam. Atas apa juga alasan manusia ternyata memerlukan alam ini untuk meneruskan kehidupan hari ini dan akan datang.

Oleh yang demikian Slogan “ALAM SEMULAJADI" digunakan oleh PDC sebagai umpan didalam usaha menarik minat orang ramai untuk hadir dan bermestautin di Batu Kawan.

Persoalanya apakah itu benar ? Benarkah PDC menjadikan Alam Semulajadi sebagai wadah untuk satu kehidupan yang harmoni diBatu Kawan ? Apakah PDC benar benar menjamin bahawa alam semulajadi di batu Kawan ini akan terus terjaga dan di perlihara ?

Apakah sudah ada dasar yang diwartakan oleh PDC atau kerajaan negeri untuk menentukan alam semulajadi disini terus dikekalkan, tidak diusih dan terperlihara ?

Malangnya, Kalau kita mengalih sedikit pandangan dari tepi poster atau papantanda tersebut dan melihat jauh kesudut hujung Bukit Batu Kawan dibelakang nya, maka jelas kelihatan bagaimana Bukit Batu Kawan Sedang dimusnahkan sendiri oleh pihak yang menjanjikan “ ALAM SEMULAJADI SEBAGAI WADAH KEHIDUPAN YANG HARMONI” diBatu Kawan.

Amat hairan dan mendukacitakan, seperti menyanyikan lagu “ Madu dan Racun” janji manis untuk memberikan kehidupan yang harmoni bersama alam semulajadi didendangkan. Namun disebalik segala madu itu pihak berkenaan sendiri menjadi racun dan agen perosak alam semulajadi diBatu Kawan.

Ini bukan dakwaan kosong yang tidak berasas. Gambar gambar kemusnahan Bukit Batu Kawan yang digondolkan oleh mereka yang bijak mengenengahkan isu alam semulajadi di sini menjadi bukti dan saksi.

Tidakah tindakan ini ternyata satu pembohongan ? Wajarkah pendekatan seumpama itu menjadi ethika sebuah badan berkanun milik sebuah kerajaan negeri ? Apakah mereka sengaja menyembunyikan isu kemusnahan Bukit Batu Kawan dengan mengalihkan perhatian kepada isu kehidupan yang harmoni bersama alam semulajadi ?

Apa yang jelas, Jika usaha pemusnahan Bukit Batu Kawan ini masih diteruskan, tanpa ada keinsafan dan kesedaran yang total untuk menghalangnya maka alam semulajadi yang tinggal diBatu Kawan ini hanya langit dan bumi sahaja.

Oleh itu, marilah bersama merenung dan berfikir dengan penuh keiklasan. Apakah janji ‘KEHIDUPAN YANG HARMONI DENGAN ALAM SEMULAJADI’ , diBatu Kawan ini sesuai dengan tindakan mereka yang bertangungjawap ‘MEMUSNAHKAN ALAM SEMULAJADI DI BUKIT BATU KAWAN’.

PM Takes Political Risk By Increasing Fuel.

Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is taking risk in removing subsidies even as BN is recovering from the 12th General Election Political tsunami. Election post mo term reports showed that rumors of fuel and food price rising was one of the main reason people opted for the opposition. The raising of global fuel up to US$125 a barrel, have forced the Government to scrap the subsidy.

The government has announced that petrol price will go up by 78 sen, a 40.6 percent jump from RM1.92 per litre to RM2.70. The price of diesel will increase by a whopping 63.3 percent - from RM1.58 per litre to RM2.58. The price hikes are among government measures to drastically cut the spiralling bill for oil subsidies, which is expected to amount to RM56 billion this year. The government plans to offer rebates to motorists to offset the fuel price increase. Under the scheme, vehicles below 2000cc will receive an annual rebate of RM625 to compensate for 800 litres of fuel used under the new price. Owners of private motorcycles of engine capacity of up to 250cc will be paid a cash rebate of RM150 per year. The money will be paid by money order. Rebate will be paid when motorists renew the road tax for their vehicles.

TIPS TO SAVE FUEL
1. Keep your car tuned up. Cars in poor running condition use more gasoline

2. Plan trips well to avoid unnecessary driving.

3. When you run your air conditioner you get much worse gas mileage. Use your air conditioner sparingly. If you have a lower setting, use it. Turn it on until the car gets cool, then turn it off and let the fan circulate the cool air. Never run your air conditioner with your windows open!

4. Keep your windows closed when traveling at high speeds. Open windows cause additional drag and lower your gas mileage. At high speeds, an open window can use more gas than many air conditioners (especially if they are on a low setting).

5. Check your tire pressure . Over-inflated tires can actually reduce your fuel efficiency, so don't overfill.

6. If at all possible, change your work start time to avoid gridlock. Stop and go traffic hurts your gas mileage.

7. Try not to idle your engine for long periods of time. If you are stuck in traffic and you don't think you are going to go anywhere in the next five minutes, you may want to turn your car off.

8. You no longer need to warm your car up for long periods of time, especially new cars. New cars are made to run when cold.

9. Don't travel at fast speeds in low gears unless you need the compression to slow down.

10. Try to drive the speed limit.

11. Try to accelerate slowly when leaving the stop light. It's not a competition with the driver in the lane next to you. The fastest person through the intersection just gets to spend more on gas.

12. No need to buy the highest priced gasoline. Most cars are built to run on regular unleaded. Check you owners manual or consult a mechanic. I have had many tell me that the more expensive gas is a waste of money.

13. Revving the engine needlessly wastes gas. There is no need to rev before you turn your vehicle off.

14. If at all possible, try to arrange car pools with co-workers to share the cost of commuting to work.

15. Walk, bike or run to your intended location whenever possible.

Waiving MPPP Summons - A Mere Lie ?

Did the Pakatan Rakyat State government headed by Mr. Lim Guan Eng are digging up issues of the previous state government to divert the attention of the Penang people since most of the election promises is yet to materialized. I just receive this pic through email. Well if the PR Government had announce to cancel all the summons that was issued by 11th March 2008, why are there still records of certain summons? Another lie by the DAP led Government?

100 Day Report Card By The Star. Questions to Mr. Lim Guan Eng

The Star will be conducting a report card on all 5 states which are under the Pakatan Rakyat Goverment. Well i have a few questions for Mr. Guan Eng. before the election, DAP had promised heaven and wonders to the people of Penang, but nothing have been materialized.

Election Promises

1. Collection at The Toll of Sungai Dua is still on despite the Pakatan Rakyat sucessfully took over the Penang State Goverment. It was promised by DAP that the toll will be scrapped once PR takes over the state goverment.

2. Reducing of Penang Bridge Charges.
3. Special allowances for the elderly people.

Investment

1. Why there have not been any companies who have come forward to invest in Penang. Lately the 2 Japanese companies that announced they are investing in Penang, were actually planned during Dr Koh TK time. DAP are busy in finding the previous government fault, rather than finding way to take Penang into greater heights.

2. Recently Mr Guan Eng headed to Korea on a Business trip. I doubt why, Jelutong, Bukit Bendera and Bukit Mertajam MP who followed Guan Eng. Not evan one state assembly person were in the trip to Korea. Aren't there any capable state assembly person? No wonder DAP is busy fishing capable leaders from BN.

There are far many questions for Mr. Guan Eng. but let this be answered first by the Chief Minister Of Penang. For those who have questions to ask the CM, kindly email askguaneng@thestar.com.my
