My apology for saying so ! It is also no-no to discrimination and harassment of minority groups of whatever colour. The death of George Floyd at the hands of law -enforcement Officer had caused a human wave of protests in several cities. Yes, BLACK LIVES MATTER! It is not enough to use holy words but doing just the opposite. The Speaker was known to be outspoken against se.xism. Well, the test on his criticism had been exposed in the Dewan Rakyat recently!
Act fairly , Mr. Speaker , and you will be remembered for your action The Election Commission is a heavy responsibility ; but he left to be speaker! It is sad. He could have done REFORMS for the betterment of the nation. GERRYMANDERING has become very obscene with a huge disparities in Constituencies. Just Imagine Damansara which has over 160,000 voters while Putrajaya has 18, 000 voters !
It is almost in the variation of 9:1 ! Unheard of in any democratic nation ! WHY was it not done at once to recalibrate the sizes. An ideal voter strength should be 50,000 voters in each Constituency., give and take 10 % variation. It is insane and obscene to have such wide variation. The above si just one of several Constituencies. RE-Adjustment should be done at once before the next General Election.
Now, there is a huge hue and cry over local elections announced by the Minister for Local Council and Housing Minister. She did the RIGHT thing. During Tunku Abdul Rahman's time, a Royal Commission of Inquiry was set up , headed by Senator Datuk Athi Nahapan.
The Report submitted RECOMMENDED LOCaL COUNCIL Elections. That was more than 50 years ago !Why FEAR local elections, UMNO, PAs ? Afraid to lose elections? IF they are against local council elections, then I suggest that you do NOT collect rates from the People.The people have the FUNDAMENTAL right to demand that their monies collected are prudentially utilised.
He who pays the piper calls the tune. You collect monies from the people you must allow the people to see HOW their monies are used! Have they no right at all ? They have not given you a BLANK cheque and allow you to spend the monies as you wish! Have some DIGNITY, please ! You talk so much about Malay Dignity; just practise it ! Have you no shame at all , UMNO and Pas ?
Where is your HUMILITY ? Where is your DIGNITY ? Be upfront with the rate-payers., the tax-payers. Don't use other people's money as you wish; you are ACCOUNTABLE foe every cent used. In US, CONGRESS must give approval for money to be spent! No approval, no disbursement of public funds ! In UK, BUDGETS must be approved by Parliament before monies are spent !
In Singapore, FOUR Budgets went through Parliament for approval BEFORE the monies were spent. Did our Parliament pass the three Budgets BEFORE monies were spent ? The voices of the PEOPLE through MPs must be heard; and approval given BEFORE monies could be spent! The Covid-19 is not an excuse!
Singapore also had Covid-19; and yet PROPER procedure was adhered to . The Rule is there ; stick to the rule ! Enforce the SOP, please in ALL monies to be spent! LOCA:L Councils must be elected by the people for the people and by the people.. So, Datuk Zuraida is 100 % RIGHT! Give the vote to the people! Let the people CHOOSE the local Councillors; it is THEIR money! It is NOT free money to be freely spent as you wish. So, why are UMNO and Pas AFRAID of facing the people ? Have some DIGNITY !
People change. For the better. This person changed for the bad. Honour for the family? Nope. Shameful really. He & Family will go down in history as the most controversial Speaker whom failed to preside his 1st day seatings in full. Shameful.

Covid-19: Daily infections and total active cases on the rise at 15 and 103 respectively
KUALA LUMPUR (July 19): Malaysia's daily Covid-19 infections, which returned to a single digit yesterday, are on the rise again with 15 new cases reported as of noon today, said the Ministry of Health (MoH).
The number of daily infections has been going up and down between the single- and double-digit levels since last Friday when 18 cases were reported, after posting four straight days of single-digit cases since last Monday.
Today's new cases brought the country's tally of Covid-19 infections to 8,779.
The number of active cases now stood at 103, breaching the triple-digit mark for the first time in over two weeks, when the country recorded 144 active cases on July 1. Two patients are now being treated in the intensive care unit with one requiring ventilator support.
Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said seven more patients have recovered and were discharged from hospitals today, bringing the current rate of recoveries to 8,553 (97.4% of the total cases).
"Based on the information reported to the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre, it is unfortunate that there was one new death reported due to Covid-19. The death toll now stands at 123," Noor Hisham said in a statement today.
"The deceased was a male Malaysian aged 72 who was diagnosed with chronic high blood pressure and a stroke. He was pronounced dead at 12.51am on July 17 upon arriving at the emergency ward of the Enche Besar Hajjah Khalsom Hospital in Johor," he added.
Meanwhile, of the 15 new cases, four were imported cases involving two Malaysians and two non-citizens — one of whom was permitted to enter the country for work purposes while the other is married to a Malaysian. These cases were traced to the UK, India and Libya.
The remaining 11 were local transmissions related to eight Malaysians and three non-citizens. Of the eight newly infected Malaysians, five were detected in Sarawak and one each in Selangor, Sabah and Johor.
Noor Hisham said the three non-citizens who contracted the disease locally were each traced to three new clusters namely the Restaurant cluster in Kuala Lumpur, Rumah Kongsi cluster in Sepang and Jetty cluster in Kuching, Sarawak.
Fifteen new Covid-19 confirmed cases were reported to the Health Ministry today, bringing the cumulative total to 8,779.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said one fatality was reported to the ministry today, raising the Covid-19 death toll in the country to 123.
"Seven patients have been discharged from the hospitals, which bring total recoveries from the infection to 8,553 or 97.4 per cent of the total cases.
"As of today, 103 active cases being treated (at health facilities in the country).
"Two of cases are currently being treated in the Intensive Care Unit, with one of them being an intubated patient," said Dr Noor Hisham on his official social media accounts here today.
