Yesterday, Members of Parliament met with the Coalition of Animal Welfare NGOs to explore humane solutions and institutional reforms for the Animal Welfare Act 2025. 🐶🐕 🐱 🐈
Key challenges were brought to the table, including overcrowded shelters, irresponsible pet ownership, and the growing frustration surrounding the stray animal crisis.
The NGOs proposed actionable solutions such as the Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release-Manage (TNVRM) program and strengthening legislation to create an effective animal welfare framework.
I am also touched to learn that Choong Koon Yean from IAPWA Penang took a train all the way from Penang, and rushed her 4pm train back the same day. 🙏🏻
Thank you also to Kalaivanan Ravichandran, President Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia SAFM, & Ustaz Muhammad, Karin, Helena & others for giving their valuable inputs.
I firmly believe that animal rights deserve the same respect and commitment as human rights. I remain dedicated to advancing measures that protect the welfare of all animals!

Thank you so much, YB Lee. Really appreciate YB efforts and ardent commitment to address this mega issue for the voiceless furkids to bring forth a humane sustainable solution.
Thank you! TNRM can only do so much. Whilst they do help in controlling the stray population it’s a constant battle if animals (neutered and unneutered) are constantly dumped. We need to have better enforcements on responsible pet ownerships. So many cruelty cases are swept under the carpet and only the ones which are viral get some attention, with little or no further action. It is appalling. Unfortunately many owners and abusers won’t learn if it’s just a slap on the wrist. Hefty fines INCLUDING jail time may be the way to go.
How come I never get invited to your meetings
m.malaysiakini.com/news/726332 "Summary: Migrant worker syndicate: The "A to B" syndicate exploits government hiring systems by obtaining excessive migrant worker quotas, which are then sold or rented to other industries for profit. Lucrative operations: Syndicate members earn millions from quota sales and renewing workers' permits. The scheme includes charging employers fees while underpaying workers. Some individuals manage thousands of workers, leveraging political connections or forged documents to secure quotas. Challenges in enforcement: Despite government restrictions and actions, the syndicate continues due to lenient penalties for colluding officials and systemic corruption." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFull Story Herexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "When discussing migrant workers, we often hear two conflicting narratives. One side claims there is an oversupply of migrant workers, while the other insists there’s still a labour shortage. So, who is telling the truth, and who is lying? Technically, both sides are correct. How so? The answer lies in the "A to B" syndicate that trades migrant workers. Under this syndicate, individuals calling themselves "employers" hold quotas for thousands of migrant workers despite not needing them. These so-called employers would apply for quotas from the government solely to "sell" or "rent" their migrant workers to others – a lucrative scheme that generates millions of ringgit. They are exploiting the government's migrant workers hiring system by supplying labour to industries that are facing shortages or to sectors where migrant worker recruitment has been frozen by Putrajaya. Malaysiakini learned that this syndicate began its activities in 1996 and was purportedly unstoppable with the help of corrupt law enforcement officers. While several civil servants have been caught for colluding with the syndicate over the years, many of them only got a slap on the wrist with punishments such as getting transferred to another department, which was considered mild in comparison to the hefty bribes they received. Checks reveal that each of the "employers" can earn hundreds of thousands of ringgit from selling off workers' quotas and renewing their Temporary Employment Visit Passes (PLKS) every year. What is the ‘A to B’ syndicate? According to sources who used to be involved with the syndicate, these "employers" are registered companies under the Companies Commission (SSM). By holding large migrant worker quotas, they sell the quota to third parties at rates ranging from RM4,500 to RM5,500 per worker. The price would depend on which sector that wants to hire them. "For instance, if an employer sells 1,000 quotas, they can make RM5.5 million." 1 ""After deducting payment for levies, insurance, and other fees, they still get a net profit of between RM2.5 million to RM3 million," the source told Malaysiakini. On top of this, the source said, the syndicate also makes money from renewing PLKS for the workers, which is an annual requirement. They would charge between RM1,000 and RM2,000 for each worker, it was claimed. "The third-party employers that purchase these quotas still need the 'original' employers' help to renew PLKS, because the latter are the ones listed in the Human Resources Ministry and Home Ministry's database,” the source added. The syndicate can allegedly generate a stable income for up to 10 years for every PLKS they hold. Thus, the source pointed out that an employer who holds 1,000 permits can earn at least RM10 million in the period. "Making money in Malaysia is so easy," said the source, who has since quit the scheme after being cheated by an employer." "‘Renting’ workers According to sources, most of those involved in the syndicate are foreigners, mainly from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India. These individuals would marry local women and start businesses under their wives’ names, often donning the “Datuk” title to bolster their credibility with prospective employers. Another source who is still active in the migrant worker trade revealed another modus operandi by the syndicate, where “employers” with PLKS quota would “lend” their workers to sectors where migrant worker recruitment has been frozen. This is done by charging the desperate employers a certain amount of fees for the service of each migrant worker. The syndicate, often referred to as Employer A, would then use the fee to pay a lower wage to the workers and pocket the rest themselves. For example, Employer A can charge Employer B a fee of RM2,500 per worker a month, but they would only pay the workers RM1,800, which allows them an instant profit of RM700 per head. "So, for an employer that has 1,000 workers, they can easily make about RM700,000 a month,” the source said. Marrying local women However, the actual number of quotas that an employer involved has is usually more than 1,000. Based on Malaysiakini's investigation, where our journalists went undercover as “Employer B” to seek migrant workers from the syndicate, it was learned that some employers were managing as many as 6,000 migrant workers. One of them is a Bangladeshi national who holds permanent resident status (MyPR) and is known as a “Datuk Seri”. This employer is known to be married to two local women and live in Shah Alam, Selangor. Through the A to B syndicate, it was learned that he earns nearly RM1.8 million a month. On top of this, he also earns between RM5 million and RM6 million a year from PLKS renewals. Another employer met by Malaysiakini is a Pakistani national with the title Datuk, who manages 2,000 workers. Based in Kuala Lumpur, he is involved in the cleaning and mini-market sectors." 3 Part 1
www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2024/11/20/show-us-what-youre-worth-profs/ "Professors must create as well as impart knowledge, and be prepared to have their ideas or opinions challenged. Merely being a professor doesn’t confer any special immunity from such challenges." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFull Story Herexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "The national professors council, or Majlis Professor Negara, is back in the news, taking up much valuable time from the really important stuff in life, such as watching cat videos on TikTok." 1 "The latest news is about some alleged skullduggery, possibly even a crime, among the higher-ups of the council. However, a member of the council has chimed in to argue that the bad deeds of one person shouldn’t tar the reputation of the entire council. Perhaps. But given the politics and culture of our society, what has happened was totally predictable, probably systemic, and oh-so similar to many other Malaysian failings." 2 "There are so many questions that need to be asked here, so I’ll ask a few myself. First, do we actually need a council of professors? The justification is that this bunch of brainiacs and wise people can offer sage advice that will benefit the nation. That they are “professors” means they’re exceptionally qualified to do so. And then, should we ask if they are indeed that smart and wise? I’m sure some are, but in this nation that invented the term “professor kangkung”, we cannot totally discount that such a vegetable is present in the council too." 3 "What do they really know? One thing that many Malaysians agree on is that our education system is deteriorating. If these professors are a reflection – possibly even a cause – of our deteriorating education system, then their claims of expertise and wisdom might not stand. I’d rather make the point that as professors they’re already at the pinnacle of academia, from where they can do what professors everywhere do – make their views known by publishing papers or books or through activism or advocacy for some cause or other. Our society, much of which is still feudal and seemingly becoming even more so, gives away too much power and gives too much respect to titles and positions. That’s not necessarily wrong, provided those honours are fairly and competitively earned. However, many aren’t convinced that such people have earned their power and respect. Their cause is often undermined by many fellow professors, current or retired, who regularly say cringe-worthy, bigoted, tone-deaf, or just plain dumb things. A professor’s job is to create as well as impart knowledge, and must be prepared to have his or her ideas or opinions challenged in the knowledge, political and social marketplaces. Just merely being a professor doesn’t confer any special immunity from such challenges." 4 "Mutual back-scratching I’m not against having smart people in think-tanks or as consultants to the government. But often what we see are consultants and think-tankers in parasitic relationships where mutual back-scratching and who-you-know is more important than what-you-know. I’m not denying the value of having serious, thoughtful people chiming in with their two sen’s worth, but taking them from one ivory tower into another is hardly productive or conducive to getting the best from them. I can also ask questions about governance – about who runs things, about the funding, about the decision-making process, and especially about integrity in an organisation where accountability and deliverables are vague and opaque. We’ve seen many instances of well-meaning government endeavours turning sour, from 1MDB to just about every agency, organisation or initiative funded by the taxpayer. Things fall apart when a functioning system of check and balance and clear and realistic objectives are missing. In the current case, while we may be talking about one bad apple, given our collective experience, we can’t discount the fact that there may be more bad apples we haven’t seen." 5 "Guarding their turf Unfortunately, when an initiative becomes part of the government bureaucracy, the organisation’s core priority becomes one of protecting its own existence. The internal dynamics change, and even good and honourable people still feel obliged to fight for the survival of their organisation over other considerations. This is what politics looks like: the end justifies the means, and other considerations are compromised or pushed out of sight. And then bad stuff happens. Academics aren’t neophytes when it comes to politicking. The politics of academia are not something to be sneezed at. I’m reminded of an old joke: Why are university politics so vicious? Because the stakes are so small! I should also ask what expertise the professors actually bring to the table. How many are actual world-class experts in their fields? How many can offer useful perspectives on the economy and climate change and the effect of AI and social media on society, as well as bread and butter issues such as the health and wellbeing of citizens, and about how we can live and thrive with each other." 6 "Speak up After decades of independence, Malaysians are still fixated with titles and positions as opposed to actual excellence. Meritocracy here has been redefined into politically expedient ways that benefit the politically connected in academia. Here’s what I say to the professors – if you have an opinion, make it known. If there are restrictions against academics speaking up, then work to abolish them, because the restrictions are very bad for you and for society. There are many spaces and forums, including the media (social and traditional), by which to make your voices known. Do podcasts or write books. Focus on your audience – whether the whole nation, or the leadership elites, or civil society or even the private sector, and educate them about something they don’t already know. But don’t forget the reason for your existence: to create new knowledge and to impart it to others. How good are you at this? Your fellow citizens aren’t fully convinced about your track record. If you do feel the best way to do your job is by setting up a special organisation, perhaps a national professors council, then go ahead. But if taxpayers are to pick up the bill, they will demand proof of the benefits, good value and accountability." 7

www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2024/11/16/how-whistleblower-protection-works-is-often-misundersto… "KUALA LUMPUR: A person cannot disclose information on corruption offences to the public and then apply for whistleblower protection, says Tan Sri Azam Baki. Sinar Harian reported that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner said this is because the person's actions may have revealed their identity and information before its validity is determined. "It is unreasonable to expect enforcement to guarantee protection to this person before they make a report or file a complaint at the enforcement agency. "A person involved in the offence they disclosed is not eligible to apply for whistleblower protection. "This is clearly stated in Section 11(1) of the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010, which stipulates that enforcement agencies can revoke the whistleblower's protection if it is found that the whistleblower is also involved in the misconduct disclosed," he said on Saturday (Nov 16) while speaking at an MACC event in conjunction with the MACC's 57th anniversary. Azam said to apply for whistleblower protection, individuals need to report directly to government enforcement agencies. "After fulfilling the conditions stipulated in the act, MACC will then guarantee and give its commitment to protect the whistleblowers in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010. "Once everything is fulfilled, the identity of the informant and all the information conveyed is kept confidential and not revealed to anyone even during the trial in court," he said. He said that whistleblowers cannot be subject to civil, criminal or disciplinary action for the disclosure and are protected from any action that might affect the consequences of the disclosure. "Protection is given to those who have a relationship or connection with the whistleblower as well. "Section 25 of the MACC Act 2009 also says that if a person fails to report a bribe, promise or offer, a person can be fined not more than RM100,000 and imprisoned for not more than 10 years or both. While failure to report requests for bribes or obtaining bribes can be punished with imprisonment and fines," he said. Azam said the community often misunderstands the issue of whistleblowers. "Some people think anyone with information about corruption can apply for whistleblower protection. "The country has laws and procedures to ensure whistleblowers are protected from undue retaliation, but it must be done in accordance with the law to ensure its effectiveness and avoid abuse," he said."
www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/travel/2024/11/17/discovering-malaysias-rich-cultural-heritage-on-a-… "There is something magical about train travel – something that lets you slow down, connect with the world around you, and rediscover the simple joys of exploration. That is exactly what my sister Kulwant and I, along with a group of museum volunteers, experienced on our unforgettable five-day journey along Malaysia’s “Jungle Railway”. Our group was led by Radzi, who meticulously planned the entire trip. This adventure became more than just a trip through small towns – it was a journey of discovery, history and friendship." 1 "We were a diverse group: Elena, her husband Hao Yang, and their children Elektra and Lucas; Hani and her husband Kamal, Kulwant and myself, and of course, Radzi. Malaysia’s Jungle Railway, often referred to as one of South-East Asia’s most scenic rail journeys, takes its name from the dense tropical rainforest it cuts through. This railway line, stretching from Gemas in Negri Sembilan to Tumpat in Kelantan, was constructed during British colonial rule, with some sections dating back to the early 20th century. Originally intended to transport goods, the track became pivotal in Malaysia’s history, especially during World War II when the Japanese used it to advance their troops. The 530km rail line offers a stunning journey through remote, lesser-known parts of Malaysia, where lush jungles, limestone cliffs, and small towns line the route. The track is more than just a transportation link – it’s a living connection to Malaysia’s history, culture and natural beauty. Our adventure began at KL Sentral as we boarded the train to Gemas, a historic railway town two hours away. Known as a critical junction, Gemas connects the east and west coast railway lines, playing a significant role in Malaysia’s rail network. The town’s railway station, built in 1906, is one of the oldest in the country and has a rich history, particularly during WWII, when it was used by British forces. Upon arrival, we spent the evening exploring the charming streets of Gemas. There was something comforting about walking through a quiet, historical town, knowing that this was just the beginning of our adventure." 2 "On the next day, we embarked on a six-hour train ride to Kuala Lipis, another town brimming with history. Once a gold-mining centre and the capital of Pahang during British rule, Kuala Lipis has retained much of its colonial charm. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the irresistible aroma of nasi kerabu and teh ais special, which is topped with a scoop of ice cream. The combination was both refreshing and comforting, quenching our thirst and hunger pangs after the long journey. One of the highlights of our time in Kuala Lipis was our participation in the Malaysia Day Photo Walk. This event, held across 33 locations in Malaysia, connected us with local amateur photographers who shared their beautiful images of the town and its surrounding landscapes. As we walked through the streets, taking pictures and chatting with locals like Perumal (shop keeper), Dr Chan (dentist) and Baskaran (florist), we felt a deep sense of connection to the place. We also took the opportunity to visit an old cemetery which housed many British Veterans who died during WWII and during the emergency in Malaya. One of Radzi’s colleagues who has a friend writing a book on British war heroes was adamant to find the grave of one “Richard Bentham Dixon”. We were so elated when we found the grave; it was worth our effort plowing through bushes and looking at every tombstone in the cemetery. Finding his resting place was a poignant moment, reminding us of the many untold stories hidden in these small towns. This quaint town is also home to our famous songbird Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza, and is famous for its food like pulut rendang hitam Anak Pak Jamil, which we tried. The combination of sticky rice with tender, flavourful rendang was a taste of pure comfort, and we were more than satisfied by the hearty meal. Our next stop was Gua Musang, a town surrounded by dramatic limestone hills and caves. We were captivated by the sight of Bukit Gua Musang, a towering hill with a large crack running vertically through it. The hill’s cave system is steeped in legend, adding to the mystery and allure of the place. The next day we had a six-hour train ride to get to Tumpat, the final station. My sister quickly found a local stall selling traditional Kelantanese kuih, and we indulged in kuih akok and kuih bahulu, both sweet and rich in flavour. From Tumpat, we took a car to Kota Baru, where we were excited to visit Singgora Homestay, a peaceful retreat in the heart of the forest. The kampung-style homestay offered an authentic countryside experience, complete with traditional Kelantanese cuisine." 3 "After a meal, we visited the Siti Khadijah Market. The market offered a wide array of Kelantanese dishes, from ayam percik to nasi dagang to nasi ulam. Each dish had a distinctive flavour, reflecting the unique culinary heritage of the region. Our final day was spent exploring the rich history and culture of Kota Baru. We visited Istana Jahar, an ornate palace-turned- museum built in 1887 by Sultan Muhamad II. The palace, with its intricate wood carvings, gave us a glimpse into the royal traditions of Kelantan. The exhibits showcased the region’s cultural heritage, from wedding ceremonies to traditional weaponry like the keris. We also visited the War Museum, which provided a sobering look at Malaysia’s role in WWII. Items on exhibit include artefacts, photographs and other memorabilia of the war. The outdoor exhibits, featuring military vehicles and artillery, were fascinating, especially a replica of the nuclear bomb used by the Americans in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Walking through the museum brought history to life, making it a deeply moving experience." 4 "Our adventure was a journey through time, history and the warmth of human connection. The rhythmic hum of the train, the stories of local heroes, and the unforgettable taste of traditional dishes made this trip one of a kind. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of history and how it shapes our present. From visiting historic towns like Gemas and Kuala Lipis, to standing at the British Veteran Cemetery, this trip brought history to life. It reminded us of the sacrifices made during WWII and the Malayan Emergency, offering a sobering but necessary reflection on the past. The lesson here is that history is not just about facts and dates – it is about the people and their stories, and exploring these places gives us a deeper understanding of our shared heritage. The trip also highlighted how food can be a gateway to understanding culture. We experienced the unique culinary traditions of each region. Food is a reflection of the people, history, and environment of a place. For anyone seeking a travel experience that nourishes both the mind and the soul, I highly recommend the Jungle Railway journey. Small towns may not always stand out on a map, but they have the power to leave a lasting impression on your heart." 5
Perbahasan Peringkat JawatanKuasa
Kementerian Ekonomi pada 14 Nov 2024.
Saya menekankan tentang 2 isu:
1) Matlamat Pembangunan Mampan (SDG)
Selari dengan komitmen mencapai Agenda SDG 2030, SDG ini penting sebagai rangka panduan bagi masa depan negara yang stabil dan mampan. Ini perlu diperhalusi bersama nilai-nilai MADANI yang holistik, yang diterapkan oleh Kerajaan seperti kelestarian dan ihsan, agar negara & rakyat menjadi suatu modal insan yang boleh dibanggakan.
Setakat ini, Malaysia dikedudukan 79/166 negara seperti yang dilaporkan dalam ‘The Sustainable Development Report 2024’. Namun, pencapaian skor indeks SDGnya ialah 69.3% berbanding paras negara serantau, iaitu 66.5% keatas keseluruhan pencapaian 17 teras SDGs.
Saya menekankan agar mekanisma SDG ini perlu menterjemah realiti & lensa sebenar masyarakat Malaysia, agar ‘no one is left behind’, selain data-data terkini pencapaian 17 teras SDG menurut setiap negeri, daerah, kawasan parlimen perlu dikongsi agar semua pihak dapat mengembleng usaha menjadikan Malaysia sebuah negara yang stabil, mampan & kekal memacu pertumbuhan ekonomi.
2) Pelan Hala Tuju Peralihan Tenaga Negara
Seperti digariskan dalam RMK Ke-12, negara perlu mencapai sasaran ‘net zero carbon’ seawal-awalnya pada tahun 2050.
Menerusi industri Carbon, Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS), ia mampu menjana pendapatan ekonomi & pelaburan asing sekitar US$200 billion (RM880 Bilion) – US $250 bilion (RM1.1 trillion), selain anggaran 200,000 peluang pekerjaaan dapat diwujudkan dalam tempoh 30 tahun ini.
Justeru, Kerajaan perlu bertindak segera merangka undang-undang & kawal selia CCUS, selain membangunkan modal perniagaan aktiviti CCUS yang kompetitif, agar Malaysia tidak terkecuali menjadi destinasi hab peneraju industri CCUS yang utama di Asia.

We will need to think of how to come up with a very fair welfare system that ensures our people's needs are met,regardless of which political party that they support. Because it seems like there's biasness for so many years. & this has lead to the deterioration in our democracy. 1 Everyone is afraid to whistleblow for fear that they will be reprimanded. Huge part of their fear is that they will not get benefits from governing political party if they whistleblow against the political party. 2 Hence, how do we ensure that their needs are met? And that their welfare assistance won't be overriden by human intervention? How do we ensure fair welfare assistance to all that won't change with a change in the governing coalition? Where is the check-and-balance here? 3 & if the political party governing this country remains the only political party governing this country, or if they are the ruling party for a very long time & even into the future, & that they practice unfairness.. Many will continue on voting for them because they want their benefits. 4 So what countermeasures can we implement to break this cycle of injustice & unfairness? What can we do for the check-and-balance? What measures can we take to ensure that it is fair for everyone? How can the opposition play a part in ensuring transparency & good governance? 5
People who want to go for tertiary education: 1. SPM leavers 2. Matriculation graduates 3. STPM graduates 4. International school students ( they're there because they don't like the national school syllabus. So they may be not so well-to-do too.) 5. UEC leavers ( they're there because they don't like the national school syllabus. So they may be not so well-to-do too.)
Many of our young aren't able to get into tertiary studies. And it's normally more than half of the STPM graduates each year. These students chose the STPM pathway in the hopes that they could get into public university. So maybe many of them can't afford to go for private education. If that wasn't the case, many would've maybe opted for Foundation or A levels. Hence, the ones who aren't qualified to get into Public Uni oftentimes become failures after their disqualification. So in reality, many of our young don't go for tertiary studies. Or if they do, they go for something that costs much less which isn't of much value. And many are taking these courses because these courses are the cheapest courses out there. So competition is high. And there's a high chance that they become jobless later on. So maybe we could think about opening up more public universities? To cater to the public?
www.nst.com.my/opinion/leaders/2023/12/985082/nst-leader-young-schooled-and-jobless PH ministers are thinking of opening up more public universities. 1 We have got far too many universities in Malaysia. Why keep them if they can't produce graduates who are employable? They're basically raking in money without bearing the responsibility and taking accountability of their wards who they are supposed to train up, to the best of their ability. Where is the fiduciary duty that supposedly comes together with their promise to the ones that they take in, to churn out excellent graduates that are the result of their top-notch education? With some universities even claiming themselves as having world-class education? Isn't it their responsibility to ensure that their graduates get jobs after they complete their education? And not just leave them to fend for themselves or die? Where is the responsibility of these universities? If they truly feel bad about their graduates not getting jobs in the Malaysian economy…maybe they should work together with companies to ensure that their students get jobs upon graduation. This is my suggestion. "Our graduates have been jobless for decades. What is more, the unemployment numbers are churned out by the ministry. A solution could have started there." 1 "The right question to ask is: what kind of universities, not how many. There are more than 100 institutions of higher learning, 20 of which are public universities. How many of these serve the needs of Malaysia or the world at large? No easy answer here because hardly any have asked the question." 2 "Students, too, need to do some serious thinking. Why flock to courses such as social science, business and law when they produce the most unemployed graduates? There is something for policymakers to think about, too. Work is the future for the young. They must help them find it once they walk out of the gates of the campus."
The one and only Dr. Wee Ka Siong head of MCA, killed Chua Soi Lek. He got him to strip naked, jump off a building, and as he lay on the ground with broken bones… He got Azizi bin Abdullah to shoot Chua Soi Lek in the eye. And then he himself shot Chua Soi Lek in the head. He knew that Chua Soi Lek wouldn't die. And then after he let him suffer for all that for a while… he shot him in the heart. But that was the worst that he did to those who opposed him. There are many other cases which hasn't been brought up due to Azizi bin Abdullah's tyranny.
Dr Wee Ka Siong is a useless man who doesn't care for the Chinese votes. And so why are we keeping him as a check-and-balance to the government party? With Wee Ka Siong rising to the helm…this is where the MCA culture changed. They practically sleep with one another's wives. 1 And also, they do not do much for the people. So is MCA still relevant? MCA currently serves as an opposition party. If they do not contribute in nation building… What is the purpose of MCA? MCA is no longer relevant. It defeats the true spirit of a political party. 2 So what counter measures do we have against something like this? What can the people do to bring down a corrupt party? A party that has rotted to its very core? A party that has died. Many, in fact, already know. And maybe BN is just better being just UMNO. 3

Ok gambar ni real. Saya memang habiskan 30 minit membersihkan taman depan Desa Mentari Blok 3,4 & 5. 😄
Terima kasih kepada Tzu Chi yang mengerahkan penduduk bersama sukarelawan mereka untuk mengadakan Plogging di kawasan Desa Mentari. Saya kagum dengan pendekatan mereka yang teliti:
1️⃣ Menggunakan beg guni yang terpakai untuk mengutip sisa buangan.
2️⃣ Menyediakan peralatan seperti sarung tangan, pengepit dan baju hujan yang lengkap demi keselamatan/kesihatan perserta.
3️⃣ Menyediakan makanan vegetarian yang sesuai untuk semua & mesra alam.
Syabas semua!

www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2024/11/13/whistleblowers-must-report-to-macc-first-for… "Law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said says one must follow the correct procedure to be afforded protection under the Whistleblower Protection Act." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFull Story Herexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "KUALA LUMPUR: Anyone wishing to be protected under the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 must first report to the relevant agency, said law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said. Azalina said the correct procedure must be followed to be afforded protection under the Act. “I feel we have to see this from two aspects. If someone does something wrong, then what Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated is correct,” she said, referring to Anwar’s remarks that persons involved in corruption cannot expect protection under the Act. “When we talk about the Whistleblower Protection Act, if anyone feels there is wrongdoing, they should report it to the agency first." 1 "“In this particular case (concerning the Sabah assemblymen), the relevant agency would be the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. “We cannot be in a situation where we have information but don’t report it to the agency. The agency is the one that decides who qualifies for protection.” Azalina was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Kuala Lumpur Forum on International Arbitration 2024 today. Yesterday, Anwar said whistleblowers cannot expect protection if they are involved in cases of corruption, particularly so in the case involving the eight assemblymen." 2 "He said MACC needs to be given room to investigate and that the government’s policy is clear: protection is only afforded to those who are clean and not involved in elements of corruption. Last Friday, a senior MACC official reportedly met with a lawyer who played him a 17-second audio recording, in which several people were heard discussing matters involving money. According to MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki, the lawyer said his client was ready to provide evidence, but wanted MACC to sign an agreement stating that the client would not be investigated. Azam said MACC cannot give a written guarantee of immunity without detailed information of the wrongdoing in question." 3 "He said the witness was urged to make an official report, allowing him to be protected under the Act. Separately, Azalina dismissed claims by Paul Cohen, the lead lawyer for the so-called heirs to the defunct Sulu sultanate, that Malaysia’s victory in the French Supreme Court would allow his clients to lease Sabah to other countries. “What can I do if he thinks like that? We are a free and independent country, Sabah is part of Malaysia. We have a global commission and there has already been a referendum,” he said. She acknowledged that Cohen, as a lawyer, had the right to present his case but reiterated that the government would strongly contest any such claims." 4
www-malaymail-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.malaymail.com/amp/news/malaysia/2024/11/14/no-idea-h… "Here’s all you need to know in 10 questions, based on publicly-available information and EPF’s response to Malay Mail’s enquiry about this award-winning service: 1. What is the EPF’s RA service? The EPF’s RA service was previously known as the Retirement Advisory Service (RAS), and it’s where you can find out how to plan for your retirement financially and what options you have to increase your retirement savings. Launched in July 2014 in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya, this service was a pilot project that gradually expanded to all 69 EPF branches nationwide. According to the EPF, over 731,000 EPF members have experienced the RA service in the 10-year period from July 2014 to August 2024. The EPF’s RA programme has won international recognition: Asean Social Security Organisation’s (ASSA) Financial Literacy Excellence Award 2016; the World Pension Summit 2016’s Innovation Award for excellence in innovation in communication; and also a certificate of merit in the International Social Security Organisation’s (ISSA) Good Practice Awards — Asia and the Pacific 2018. Based on the ASSA 2016 award, Malaysia is the second country in the world (after South Korea) and the first in South-east Asia to have its retirement savings fund offer advisory services for retirement. 2. Who is eligible for EPF’s RA? All EPF members can get free advice, regardless of age or employment status. "Individuals from all demographics seek advice from the EPF RA, including young professionals, middle-aged individuals, those nearing retirement, and retirees,” EPF told Malay Mail. Others who get advice are self-employed individuals, employees and gig workers, EPF said. 3. Why should you use the EPF’s RA service? EPF encourages its members to use the RA service "to gain a deeper understanding on the importance of financial planning especially for retirement”. "By receiving advice and guidance, they can make better financial decisions, manage their savings effectively and ultimately work towards a more secure and comfortable retirement life,” it said. 4. How will EPF’s RA officers help you in different seasons of your life? EPF recognised that its members would have different needs and challenges at different stages in life, and said RA officers would provide guidance to fit these unique circumstances. "Everyone has their own unique financial needs. "To help individuals prepare for their retirement, RA Officers will guide them in assessing their current financial situation, revisiting and aligning financial goals, identifying and planning resources for future needs, setting strategies to achieve those goals, and planning for retirement, including management of finances post-retirement,” it told Malay Mail. Currently, EPF members are allowed to withdraw money from their EPF savings even before retirement, such as for housing, if conditions are met. "At different life stages, members may face various challenges based on family background, lifestyle, financial literacy, and retirement goals. Some may be buying their first home, starting a family, working in the formal or informal sector, or dealing with insufficient savings. "When members seek advice from an RA Officer, they will be guided through reassessing their financial situation, balancing short-, medium-, and long-term financial needs, and making prudent decisions regarding EPF withdrawals. "It’s highly encouraged to consult an RA Officer before making any withdrawal decisions to ensure members have adequate retirement savings for the future,” EPF told Malay Mail. 5. When should EPF members start planning for retirement? (Hint: The best time is either from day one, or right now!) EPF said its members are encouraged to seek advice from the RA at the early stage of their careers "or as soon as they start contributing to the EPF”. "This can help them set clear financial goals, optimise their savings, and establish long-term plans for a secure retirement,” it said. With the majority of EPF members beginning "their retirement planning between the ages of 40 and 60”, EPF said: "The goal is to encourage earlier and more proactive planning to ensure a more stable and comfortable retirement.” If you have not started planning for retirement yet, you can still do it now, with the help of EPF’s trained RA officers. "It’s never too late to start planning for retirement. Saving and planning now can lead to a more comfortable and secure future. "The most important thing is recognising the need to save and taking steps to start saving as early as possible,” EPF said. 6. How can you get advice from EPF’s RA? There are two ways EPF members can get the RA consultation service, ask for it at any EPF branch nationwide. Just walk in and ask at the counter. during EPF’s outreach programmes 7. How long does a RA consultation session last? The EPF said it depends on the complexity of the consultation required, "as the RA officer provides personalised advice based on the member’s financial situation and retirement goals”. 8. Who will be the ones giving you advice? All of EPF’s RA officers will go through the Malaysian Financial Planning Council (MFPC)’s Shariah Registered Financial Planner (Shariah RFP) programme. Currently, about 52 per cent of EPF’s RA are already Shariah RFP-certified. 9. Thumbs up from EPF members The EPF said its members have given "positive feedback” on RA services, particularly those who had benefited from EPF’s Voluntary Excess (VE) Contribution programme with support from their employers. Under Malaysia’s law, contributions to employees’ EPF savings must be made every month by both employers (12 to 13 per cent of the employees’ monthly wages) and employees (11 per cent). VE enables either employees or employers or both of them to contribute more than the statutory or legally-required rates to the employees’ EPF savings as long as conditions are met, with no limits on this additional monthly contribution. "The RA team has been engaging members through various financial literacy talks and outreach programmes, enhancing their awareness of financial planning. "RA has been providing clear explanations and informative advisory on financial planning to both members and non-members,” EPF said. 10. Ok. I want to go now for EPF’s RA service, but where do I go? The EPF said all 69 of its branches throughout Malaysia are able to provide RA service to the public."

Pemimpin berjiwa rakyat tahniah yb Lee CHEAN CHUNG parliament PJ @highlight
Sayangilah haiwan seperti sayang kita sendiri. 🐈 🐕 🐱 🐶🥰
Beberapa peristiwa pahit tentang pembunuhan dan penganiayaan haiwan yang kejam makin kerap berlaku. Malangnya ada tragedi ini melibatkan penguatkuasaan agensi kerajaan.
Pagi tadi saya tampil bersama beberapa ahli parlimen untuk menerima memorandum yang dihantar oleh NGO-NGO pencinta haiwan atau pemeliharaan hak haiwan di depan parlimen.
Saya setuju dengan seruan peserta-peserta protes iaitu ada keperluan untuk meneliti serta meminda Akta Kebajikan Haiwan 2015 supaya definisi dan kerja-kerja kesedaran boleh dijalankan dengan lebih luas dan menyeluruh.
Modus operandi penangkapan haiwan tanpa tuan juga perlu dikemaskini supaya langkah lama yang kurang prihatin dan tidak berperi kemanusiaan harus diberhentikan.
Hujan kekal lebat, namun kesayangan dan kecintaan kita terhadap alam dan haiwan tidak terpadam! 👍🏼 … See MoreSee Less
