The latest statement from Umno which has irked the Borneo-based national party is one from Chief Minister Musa Aman. The Sabah leader claimed on Tues that the opposition, unlike BN, cannot offer the right medicine for Sabah. He claimed “numerous achievements” in the state under the BN.

“If the Peninsular Malaysia-based Umno and BN have the right formula for Sabah, why was the state singled out by the World Bank at the end of 2010 as the poorest state in Malaysia?” asked Star vice chairman Dr Felix Chong in a press statement. “Umno and BN should stop telling tall tales to the people.”

Star’s premise, according to Chong, is that the cure for Sabah’s mounting economic woes lies in reversing Putrajaya’s internal colonization policies in the state.

“Money, or rather the lack of it, is at the root of Sabah’s poverty,” said Chong. “Putrajaya is taking away all our money just like what the British did during the colonial days. That’s why Sabah is poor.”

As an example, he cited Petronas and the Federal Government siphoning away 95 per cent of the oil and gas revenue from the inner waters, 100 per cent from the outer outers and almost all other revenue.

Other revenue alone collected last year by the Federal Government in Sabah amounted to nearly RM 40 billion, he added. “Also, the Peninsular Malaysia-owned gaming companies in Sabah and Sarawak are taking away billions every year.”

“In return, of this year’s National Budget of nearly RM 200 billion, Sabah and Sarawak have been allocated only RM 4 billion each,” pointed out Chong. “We don’t know how much of the RM 4 billion has been released to Sabah.”

He queried why the Federal Government is funding the development of Malaya (Peninsular Malaysia) at the expense of the people of Sabah and Sarawak, the latter the 2nd poorest state in Malaysia according to the World Bank.

He queried the media including the alternative media in Peninsular Malaysia often blocking the local opposition’s right of reply to the numerous statements from the government side. This gives the impression, said Chong, that the local opposition is unable to rebut the government’s statements.

The Peninsular Malaysia-based parties operating in Sabah and Sarawak, continued Chong, were not about helping the people of the two states. They are here to steal our states in the respective state assemblies and Parliament so that they can get their hands on our Budget for their own self-serving ends, he claimed. “They want to use our Budget to get contracts for themselves to hand out to Peninsular Malaysia-based companies.”

The bottomline, stressed Chong, is that Sabah and Sarawak need to have a greater say in Parliament through local parties.

He called for “as a first cure” the restoration of the balance of power in Parliament with Peninsular Malaysia having at the most one seat less than two-thirds while Sabah/Sarawak at the very minimum have one seat more than one-third of the seats. This was provided for under the 1963 Malaysia Agreement, said Chong, “which has been observed by the Federal Government more often than not in the breach.”

“Restoring the balance in Parliament coupled with Peninsular Malaysia-based parties staying out of Sabah and Sarawak will be the right medicine to help us overcome our grinding poverty, ignorance and disease,” said Chong.

The Chief Minister of Sabah, vowed Chong, must also be appointed by the people of Sabah, the state assembly and the Governor in accordance with the state constitution.

Earlier, Musa in his statement at a Wanita BN gathering advised the people not be influenced or confused by the opposition’s propaganda barrage.

He was particularly scathing in his criticisms of the Democratic Action Party (Dap), which reportedly has bright prospects in Chinese seats in Sabah, and the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) which is aligned to it in Pakatan Rakyat (PR) along with Pas.

The Sabah Progressive Party (Sapp), a mosquito local party which broke away from the Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) in 1994, has since agreed to support PR under a PR Plus arrangement.

Star has expressed willingness to debate both local parties and Peninsular Malaysia-based parties, across both sides of the political divide, on all issues but so far only the Dap has responded and only grudgingly it has been reported.

THIS IS BLATANT DAYLIGHT ROBBERY…IMAGINE WHAT WE CAN DO TO DEVELOP OUR POOR SABAH WITH RM 13 BILLION, INSTEAD OF THE MONEY BEING USED TO DEVELOP AN ALREADY WELL-DEVELOPED MALAYA…

PETRONAS-Third Quarter Ended 31 December 2011

This man had not, however, been elected into the premiership, and consequently never earned his own governing mandate. He had succeeded into the job when his predecessor was forced to resign under internal pressure. While the coup was not entirely of his own orchestration, this prime minister had played an important albeit implicit role in facilitating it.

His predecessor is an altogether different story. Initially elected with much fanfare by a buoyant nation on a platform of hope and change after years of rule by an authoritarian and right-of-centre leadership, his premiership had by its tail-end been reduced to a lethargic disappointment.

Though heavily criticised and the subject of mass ridicule, he was still able to pull through with a mediocre win at the general election. Remaining defiant, he announced that he would fulfil the mandate of the people and see through his term as prime minister.

However, his own party members had other plans. Disenchanted with his leadership, the internal politicking began. New pacts were formed, loyalties shifted and deals were cut. Attention now turned to our protagonist, the then-deputy prime minister, a man long known for his loyalty and methodical methods.

Convinced that the gamble would pay off, he began to make his moves. Though his actions were not overt, the die was cast and the message was clear. In the end, faced with open revolt and under immense pressure, the incumbent prime minister had no choice but to announce that he would step aside within a year. Even that was too long and before the year was up, his premiership had crumbled to an abrupt end.

Expectations were high for the new prime minister. In an elaborate campaign to both distinguish himself from his predecessor and spruce up his public image, he took on the mantle of a statesman with vision for leadership and change.

This led to a popularity high and favourable approval ratings. Soon, the opportunity for snap polls presented itself. With the benefits of a honeymoon period still lingering, it would have been the perfect time to call it. Yet an indecisive itch overcame him and he decided against it at the last minute. Instead, he thought it best to wait for a better opportunity.

In hindsight, that was perhaps his biggest mistake.

As days went by, the public began to realise that a man who has been a part of the system for so long is really incapable of change. His promises of a better future began to ring hollow amidst growing economic uncertainty.

The longer he was into his administration, the more problems unravelled. Financial irregularities and scandals involving his party members made dimmer and dimmer the prospect of a desirable moment for a general election.

Yet the prime minister kept waiting and waiting, until by the time he knew it, his government’s term of office was up. In the end, what was supposed to have been snap polls that would have leveraged upon his then-popularity and caught his opponents by surprise had become an exercise that was easily predicted by all and sundry.

Having rigorously prepared for so long, the hungry opposition wasted no time in pouncing aggressively. Without the element of surprise, the prime minister had lost the upper hand and soon found himself on the defensive. Election Day came and the nation delivered its result. Though not very conclusive, it was certainly very clear about one thing: the people had rejected the prime minister.

After a short period of denial and desperate attempts at forming a coalition, the prime minister had little choice but to accept his fate. Indecisiveness, poor decision-making and the inability to carry out necessary reforms are traits that will characterise his legacy as a short-lived prime minister who had never won his own mandate.

–This is the story of the former British prime minister, Gordon Brown.

Dr Felix Chong examining the Rt arm affected by chemo extravasation.

On the 2nd February 2012, I received a complaint and visited Mdm T, a 60+ yo lady warded in QEH2.

This pleasant but unfortunate lady was diagnosed with BREAST CANCER and underwent a Left sided MASTECTOMY (Operation to remove cancer tissue affecting the breast and surrounding areas).

She was put on a regime consisting of Six cycles of CHEMOTHERAPY. Each Chemo cycle involves the intravenous injection of Chemotherapeutic drugs.  These Chemotherapeutic drugs have a lot of side effects which can include Nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, infection and bleeding (just to name a few).

Chemotherapy drugs work by damaging the dividing cancer cells and preventing further reproduction. These drugs are toxic and can also damage normal cells as well and so have to be administered safely and with care.

On the 28th December 2011, Mdm T went to QEH2 for her final (Sixth chemotherapy cycle). As usual, an Intravenous needle and IV drip set was set up on her Right arm to deliver the Chemotherapeutic drug, but this time her tissues started to swell up and her skin started to burn, blacken and was associated with much pain. The chemo drug had Extravasated (leaked out) of the vein due to the IV needle wrongly placed and puncturing the already fragile vein.

The IV Chemo drug was stopped but the damage had  already been done by the toxic chemo agent. Mdm T was not happy as she noted that the paramedical staff attending her was chit-chatting, laughing and watching TV, instead of concentrating on what he was doing. Also the ward was full of relatives and visitors although it was not visiting hours.

As a note, The sixth and final Chemo cycle had to be continued despite what had happened.

What followed was almost two months of extra pain and suffering where her Right arm tissue was burnt, swelled up, developed gangrene and had to be debrided (cleaned).  It was also painful to move her right arm and fingers.

On 18th January 2012, Skin Grafting operation was done  where skin from her legs were removed and used to cover her right arm.

All this could have been prevented with a bit of extra care.

It is hoped that the hospital takes this case / incident seriously and do an independent study or audit so as to prevent future medical mistakes or negligence like this from occurring again. There needs to be a tightening up of their SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) and proper training of staff involved in administering of Chemotherapy.

Being the second case of Medical mistake reported to us, it is to be asked if this is just the tip of the iceberg.

How many more unreported Medical negligence, Medical mistakes or even ” Near Misses” are there that is causing preventable, un-necessary pain, suffering, morbidity and (God Forbid) Fatality?

“According to the Institute of Medicine, preventable medical errors kill as many as 98,000 Americans every year, and injure countless more. If the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) were to include preventable medical errors as a category, it would be the sixth leading cause of death in America.”  - Medical Negligence: The Role of America’s Civil Justice System in Protecting Patients’ Rights, American Association For Justice, February 2011.

This gentleman suffering from Falx Meningioma (brain tumour) had been operated three times already, and has been dependent on Ryle’s tube feeding since last year. The Ryle’s tube has to be changed every two weeks.

He went to OPD Luyang on 28th January to change his Ryle’s tube, which was done by two Male paramedical staff. But although still having coughing his wife who accompanied him was told everything was ok and allowed to go home. The wife although suspecting something was not right took her husband home.

At home the wife fed him liquid (milk) through his ryle’s tube and noted that he was turning blue and had difficulty in breathing.

He was rushed to the Casualty department where it was found out that the ryle’s tube instead of being in his stomach has gone into his right lung causing his whole right lung to collapse. A Chest x-ray also confirmed that the Ryle’s tube was indeed in the Right lung.

Luckily, he was brought in fast and was able to be intubated and put on a ventilator machine for 4 days and his lungs were able to slowly expand again.

This is a clear case of medical shortfall and negligence, that could have easily ended in a fatality.

To err is human and we are not here to put blame or point fingers on the individual but to ensure that the Medical system is tuned or even changed to ensure that  safety and patient and staff care is given its rightful important place.

The relevant authorities need to investigate this case to ensure that such incidents does not happen again as it could have easily have ended in prolonged pain, discomfort and suffering to the patient, or even Death.

Tg Aru Rubbish- Rubbish on the shore & under houses

Let it be known to all. The dirty game they play and we can tolerate no more!
Cheers.

AHMAD ZAHID HAMIDI @ “HOLE IN THE RECTUM”
M’sia Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi
Written by Major (Rtd) D. Swam
Friday, November 12, 2010

Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is a “hole in the rectum”….and I am being extremely polite, for his statement that “non-Malays shun a military career because they lacked patriotism”. His sense of history and the contributions of the Chinese, Indians and our brothers from East Malaysia towards the sovereignty of Malaysia is being actively abrogated by him. That is a racist and bigoted view, pure and simple. Go here to look at the winners of valour awards, not including those who had laid down their lives, are maimed, not forgetting the Non Malay Police Officers. Use the drop down menu in the archives on the top right column.
Guess when the Chinese and Indians were bleeding and dying for this nation, he might just have been a “dirty glint in his father’s eyes” or just “swimming in his father’s cojones”. I will not allow my emotions get to me by being vulgar talking about our Defence Minister who cannot construct a decent sentence in English, I will not dwell on that.

I am not insulting this dull fellow, just so that this dimwitted, crass and shallow minded individual needs some input, who was the first Malaysian to be awarded the “Pingat Gagah Berani”? He was a Chinese! Sergeant Chong Yong Chin PGB of the First Federation Regiment, dey Zahid I guess you did not know that. Insults have to be politely reciprocated with civility, I am doing just that.
Did you not know who was the first recipient of the “Pingat Gagah Berani” in the Congo ? Hey you dingaling , that person too was a Chinese, Lt Lee Ah Pow PGB , read about how shoddily he was treated too! There was another young Chinese Officer, Lt David Fu Chee Meng, who too was awarded the PGB at the Battle of Tanah Hitam.

So those guys were not patriotic enough for you? Here is my favourite, someone I know personally, Sergeant Choo Woh Soon PGB, my wife’s uncle. This guy, patriotic enough for you? How about this Indian Officer and Chinese soldier dying together to save your sorry butt from the Commies? ,Captain Shanmuganathan PGB and 207770 Ranger Mat Isa bin Hassan PGB, do not be deceived by the name Mat Isa, he was a Chinese.
How about this Indian Officer who laid down his life at the “ripe old age of 24″? Captain Mohana Chandran al Velayuthan (200402) Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa . Not patriotic enough for you?

How about this where a sorry excuse, for an officer, caused the death of 13 Italian airmen in the Congo, Malaysia’s name had to be salvaged in this incident by 2Lt N.H. Siebel PGB and Captain Maurice Lam PGB, notice their names, they were Non Malays. How about the time in Bosnia where soldiers desecrated a Catholic Cross, again the situation was salvaged by the Non Malays. I will not even talk about the vandalising of the Hoba Meteorite in Namibia . Okay continuing some more, here is another Indian who got the PGB, 2Lt Panir Chellvum al Velaithan PGB. Still not patriotic enough for you?
Here is another Indian, who after serving a total of 29 years in both the Police Force and the Army is denied his pension. The reason being he did not attend the weapons course and tactics course. What weapons and tactics course, when he and his men wiped out the remnants of the enemy in Selangor, what would his unshaved instructors teach him? Read about him, Captain Courageous aka Mukhtiar Singh s/o Sodagar Singh. In any other Army in the world today, they would have cited him for courage and piled honours on him without any questions asked, unfortunately he is an Indian in Malaysia, get that Zahid?

The problem with people like Zahid Hamidi is he does not know about people like these Chinese and Indians who were willing to die for Malaysia unconditionally, they only wanted to be treated fairly. The cunotice the minorities were significant in numbers in the forces when Malaysia was in danger, from the Japanese occupation of Malaya , the Emergency, Confrontation and the subsequent Emergency until the cessation of hostilities by the MCP.

Remember the Communist Party of Malaya, did not surrender. It was a treaty for the cessation of hostilities. Freeing our Great Leader to push his agenda of Ketuanan Melayu, subsequently his achievements were these , he could not do it when the MCP was on the warpath as it would increase their numbers. Zahid being an ardent fan of this old goat, is still playing to the gallery.
Soldiers who have served, the Non Malays know what it is to be discriminated against, because of their race and religion.
Even the Bumiputras of Sabah and Sarawak are discriminated against, as most of them are Christians. While at this, being an ex- soldier and all, I have seen many East Malaysian Officers serving in combat units, why did not any one of them make it to General? Not good enough? Look at how brave, loyal and patriotic they are. Go to the archives.
After seeing the results of the Sibu “buy elections”, where the BN lost, I guess they saw the writing on the wall and recently promoted an Iban Officer to become the first Iban who made it to General, Stephen Mundaw, in September this year. Anyway that is peanuts, East Malaysians should demand and expect at least a 4 star General from amongst the Ibans, whose bodies have been littered across the battle fields in Malaysia . Their courage and ferocity in battle is unmatched.
After having served many years and plodding along, being bypassed by juniors and incompetents. There so many grievances, not enough space to write at one go, is it not heart wrenching? Even your children, who are brilliant are discriminated by virtue of race and religion, you expect patriotism to burn brightly in the hearts of the Non Malays? Treat everyone equally on a level playing field, you will not need to ask for the Non Malays to defend this country, the numbers would be so huge that you would have to send most of them back.
In the military the Non Malay is ridden like a horse, for the greater benefit of the majority. No rewards, when it comes to promotions and benefits, they forget you. You know that old race horse, it runs until it drops dead or put out to pasture. Most Non Malays make it to the rank of Major, I am sure you have heard this before, about the “infamous glass ceiling”. That is the rank you have to be happy with. You are not promoted on merit, I know of guys who can barely speak English, but become Generals. During my time all the courses were in English. Ask the ex and serving Non Malays, not forgetting the subtle hints to convert. They do not even respect your faith by suggesting that, they look down on you. Religious and racial discrimination go hand in hand together. I have also had the privilege of seeing a General’s knees tremble, when he stepped out of my Infantry Fighting Vehicle, as I helped him down, this was after an exchange of fire. I was the escort commander and he was riding in my IFV in Somalia .

A hundred Non Malays would without hesitation and asking questions, charge a hill of 10,000 enemy, if you treated them and their offspring, as Malaysians and not as Dhimmis and second class citizens to defend their country, Malaysia .
rrent situation is like “some people are more equal than others”. People like him are WIND BAGS, full of foul air and all empty talk.

I could continue shellacking Ahmad Zaid until the cows come home, it is us who are to be blamed. He is the MP for Bagan Datuk, those of us who continue supporting MCA and the MIC, are actually getting him elected year in, year out. Your votes have made him arrogant. If you notice his majority is actually shrinking. So the strongest message for that dimwit, would be to boot this racist UMNO supremacist out of Parliament in the next general elections. Never forget. Of course all of you out there can post your comments, feel free to use this post.

This is not an invasion of privacy but rather a memorial to this seldom seen but important people that if we love Hj Najib and Hjh Rosmah we should know about.

Before there was Hjh Rosmah, There was Puteri Zainah Iskandar @ KuYie and together they had three children, Mohd Nizar, Puteri Norlisa, and Mohd Nasifuddin.

Hjh Rosmah was married to Farid Ismeth Emir and later Abdul Aziz Nong Chik. Out of this two marriages there were three children of which Rosmah’s daughter Azrene Soraya Abdul Aziz is married to Dr Fazley.

Thus, Hjh Rosmah Mansur and her THIRD husband Hj Najib Tun Razak have two children, Nooryana Najwa Mohd Najib and Norashman Razak Mohd Najib.

At least now we know.

But to know further about the character of Hjh Rosmah who is the self titled “First Lady of Malaysia” and the REAL power controlling our PM, Hj Najib…..

Please watch the following videos and make your own judgment….
