I’m being sexually harassed, says Bung Mokhtar after calling Malaysian female drivers as lousy drivers!!
Kinabatangan Member of Parliament, Datuk Bung Moktar Radin on the limelight again.
1st he drew ire from women groups for suggesting in the Malaysian Parliament that women leaked (menstruate) every month, that remarks came after the MPs debated about leak in the Parliament roof.
2ndly, he was constantly on the limelight when he married Malaysia's sexy and popular actress, Zizie Ezette.

Maybe Bung Moktar is reffering to these kind of women drivers..
He said most women drivers were slow and did not pay attention to their surroundings while they were at the wheel.
“Some women drivers drive slowly and seem oblivious to traffic.
“When you honk at them, they get agitated with some even showing hand gestures to other drivers,” he said during the debate on the Supplementary Supply Bill.
Today, Wednesday 30th March 2011, an annoyed Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin has made a passionate plea to women's groups not to target him as a sexist following his comments about women being slow drivers.
The Kinabatangan MP said his Monday's 28 March 2011 remarks in the Dewan Rakyat had been manipulated, causing him to be singled out by women's groups so much so that he felt “sexually harassed”.
“I was talking about careless drivers and dangerous road conditions,” he said, explaining that he did not accuse women of being 100% responsible for road accidents and that he was merely talking about those who had just passed their driving tests.
He said he had the utmost respect for women and considered them as a God's gift who must be respected and treasured.
“But this has been manipulated by several parties as though I did not respect women. Today, I have become the focus of women's groups. I wish to ask the Speaker for help as I consider this sexual harassment against me,” he told the Dewan Wednesday, 30 Mac 2011, amid laughter from the floor.
“I never said that women were the cause of it (road accidents). It is the Opposition who twisted it,” he added.
He did not blame the media for sparking the uproar against him, saying “it is usual for newspapers to sensationalise the news”.
His clarification drew support from Datuk Ismail Kassim (BN-Arau), who said the issue did not arise as he was witness to it when Bung Mokhtar spoke about it on Monday.
After the controversial remarks, Bung has come under fire from various quarters including women groups, the opposition and even from a BN women minister.
Women's groups have slammed the sexist remarks by Bung against women drivers, calling him a disgrace.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister of the ruling BN party, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said Bung's statement against women drivers was completely uncalled for and offensive.
“We are gathering statistics on road accidents from the police to get a clearer picture about the allegation,” she said in a statement.
Bung Mokhtar, claimed that most women drivers were slow and paid little attention while on the road.
“When you honk at them, they get agitated with some even showing hand gestures to other drivers,” he said.
All Women's Action Society (AWAM) acting president Ho Yock Lin called for Bung Mokhtar to resign immediately.
“He is an utter disgrace as a parliamentarian and an embarrassment to his party,” she said.
Women's Aid Organisation executive director Ivy Josiah said “Bung has driven home the point that he is truly a sexist MP who does not deserve our vote.”
She added that the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) had rightly listed Bung as one of the many sexist MPs in 2008.
Expressing shock over the remark, another BN leader, Wanita MCA vice-chairman Senator Heng Seai Kie called on Bung Mokhtar to undergo a mandatory course on gender equality.
“His pathetic utterances betray his warped mentality which has no place in Malaysia,” she said.
PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah described Bung's sexist remark as being devoid of factual statistics.
The statement also sparked a heated debate on Facebook with some male users agreeing with Bung while women lashed out against him.
On Twitter, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng called Bung a threat to gender equality and said: “Maybe Bung will suggest next that women drivers be banned since they are such a menace.”
The report was also carried by international news agency AFP.
A poll posted on The Star Online asking readers if they agreed with Bung's remark that women are lousy drivers revealed that at 7.30pm yesterday, almost 4,000 people had voted with respondents equally split
Pilihanraya Sarawak, apa saja boleh berlaku
16 April 2011 ini bersamaan hari Sabtu, pilihanraya negeri Sarawak kali ke 10 diadakan selepas Dewan undangan negeri Sarawak dibubarkan pada 21 Mac 2011.
71 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri, DUN menjadi rebutan.
Pada pilihanraya negeri ke 9 pada 2006, Barisan Nasional, BN memenangi 62 kerusi DUN dan hanya tewas di 9 kerusi DUN.
Ketika ini, teka teki siapa calon sedang hangat diperkatakan.
Namun, beberapa pembayang sudah diberi.
Bagi Ketua Menteri Sarawak yang berkhidmat sejak 1981, Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud yang juga presiden Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu, PBB, kira-kira 25 peratus daripada calon PBB yang akan diketengahkan pada pilihan raya negeri 16 April ini adalah calon muka baru, katanya.
Taib yang kini berusia 74 tahun dan menjadi Ketua Menteri paling lama berkhidmat di Malaysia sejak 1981 menggantikan Tun Abdul Rahman Ya'kub berkata, beliau akan mengadakan pertemuan dengan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berhubung senarai PBB, selain bagi tiga lagi parti komponen Barisan Nasional (BN) negeri.
"Ya, saya telah pun memuktamadkan senarai bagi PBB,” katanya kepada media di Kuching pada Rabu 30 Mac 2011.
Taib yang juga pengerusi BN Sarawak juga berkata kesemua empat parti komponen BN telah pun memuktamadkan senarai calon mereka.
Daripada 71 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri itu, PBB akan bertanding bagi 35 kerusi, Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak (SUPP) (19), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) (sembilan) dan Parti Progresif Demokratik Sarawak (SPDP) (lapan).
Manakala 10 penyandang daripada PBB tidak akan mempertahankan kerusi masing-masing dalam pilihan raya negeri.
Identiti 6 daripada mereka sudah diketahui iaitu Frederick Bayoi Manggi (Kedup), Lihan Jok (Telang Usan), Datuk Dr Abang Abdul Rauf Abang Zen (Demak Laut), Dr Wahbi Junaidi (Saribas), Wan Wahab Wan Sanusi (Sadong Jaya) dan terbaru, Simoi Peri (Lingga), telah mengumumkan hasrat mereka tidak bertanding.
Tan Sri Taib Mahmud juga mengesahkan beliau akan mempertahankan kerusi DUN Balingian, sekaligus mengesahkan spekulasi beliau akan terus memimpin Sarawak selaku Ketua Menteri untuk sekurang kurangnya 1 penggal lagi.
Namun dalam pilihanraya, apa saja boleh berlaku termasuk perkara yang dianggap mustahil. Ini semuanya bergantung kepada kehendak rakyat sebagai pengundi. Jika rakyat marahkan kerajaan sedia ada, maka mereka umpama bom jangka, sedia meledak bila tiba masanya.
Tentu kita masih ingat pilihanraya Sabah pada 1985 apabila parti Berjaya pimpinan Datuk Harris Mohd Salleh, secara tiba tiba tewas kepada parti yang baru berusia setahun jagung iaitu Parti Bersatu Sabah, PBS pimpinan Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
Harris dan Pairin asalnya sama sama dalam Berjaya, namun akibat perselisihan tertentu, Pairin keluar dari Berjaya lalu menubuhkan PBS.
Berang dengan tindakan itu, Harris menarik balik status Tambunan sebagai daerah. Tambunan adalah daerah kelahiran Pairin. Rakyat Tambunan yang berang memilih Pairin ketika itu calon Bebas mengalahkan Calon Berjaya pada pilihanraya kecil Tambunan, sejurus selepas Pairin disingkirkan dari Berjaya.
Dibantu kemarahan rakyat Sabah ke atas kerajaan Berjaya ketika itu, Pairin seterusnya memimpin PBS menewaskan Berjaya pada pilihanraya negeri 1985.
Malahan Datuk Harris sendiri tewas di Tenom kepada seorang calon PBS yang kurang dikenali iaitu Datuk Kadoh Agundong yang sehingga kini digelar The Giant Killer.
Peristiwa itu masih tidak dilupakan dalam sejarah politik Sabah sehingga kini.
Dalam politik juga, apa apa juga boleh berlaku. Sebagai contoh ketika Pilihanraya kecil Batu Sapi di Sandakan, Sabah pada 4 November 2010 lalu, seorang calon muka baru dari BN yang juga wanita, Datin Linda Tsen Thau Lin (kanan) gambar atas, berjaya mengalahkan 2 political heavyweights atau gergasi politik iaitu Datuk Yong Teck Lee, dari Parti Maju Sabah, SAPP dan Ansari Abdullah dari Parti Keadilan Rakyat, PKR.
BN berjaya mengekalkan kerusi Parlimen Batu Sapi dengan majoriti besar, 6,359 undi, walaupun terpaksa berdepan dengan Yong Teck Lee yang juga bekas Ketua Menteri Sabah dan Presiden SAPP serta tidak pernah tewas dalam 9 pilihanraya berturut turut sejak 1985.
Calon BN, Datin Linda Tsen Thau Lin memperoleh 9,773 undi mengalahkan calon SAPP, Datuk Yong Teck Lee 2,031 undi dan calon Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Ansaari Abdullah 3,414 undi.
Ini kekalahan pertama Yong Teck Lee dalam sejarah politiknya. Meskipun ligat berkempen termasuk melaungkan frasa Sabah for Sabahans atau Sabah untuk Rakyat Sabah, serta kuasa autonomi untuk Sabah Yong tewas juga.
Untuk rekod, konsep Sabah for Sabahans dan Autonomi ini pernah dilaungkan PBS dan mendapat sambutan rakyat Sabah suatu ketika dulu.
Namun angin perubahan dibawa kepimpinan Datuk Seri Najib Razak menerusi konsep 1 Malaysia, rakyat didahulukan pencapaian diutamakan, lebih digemari pengundi Batu Sapi.
Strategi PKR di Batu Sapi untuk meletakkan calon beragama Islam kononnya untuk memecahkan pengundi beragama Islam agar memberi kelebihan kepada pembangkang, juga tidak menjadi.
Oleh itu di Sarawak.. ingatlah Macam Macam Boleh terjadi... ibarat kata kata Pakcik Astro > Macam Macam Ada!!!
Majlis Bekas Wakil Rakyat Malaysia, Mubarak mahu kadar pencen bekas YB dinaikkan
Bekas YB pun mahu juga menikmati kehidupan lebih baik selepas bersara sebagai wakil rakyat.
Itu yang disuarakan Majlis Bekas Wakil Rakyat Malaysia, atau Mubarak yang telah mengemukakan memorandum kepada Perdana Menteri sejak setahun lalu agar kadar pencen yang dinikmati bekas wakil rakyat, dinaikkan sesuai dengan faktor semasa.
Pada masa sama, Mubarak juga memohon agar wakil rakyat yang hanya berkhidmat kurang satu penggal, turut mendapat bayaran pencen.
Pemangku Presiden Mubarak, Datuk Seri Abdul Aziz Rahman berkata :
"Untuk makluman, wakil2 rakyat yg berkhidmat kurang daripada 3 tahun, tak dapat pencen, ni kita bukan nak minta kerja ni, ni kita dipilih & dilantik, jadi kita merasakan pada wakil2 rakyat tak perlu berdasarkan tenure dia, tenure dia very unstable & ditentukan bukan oleh kerajaan, ditentukan oleh masyarakat bila diadakan pilihanraya, itu 1st thing, lebih kepada takdir."
Beliau berkata demikian dalam sidang akhbar selepas selesainya mesyuarat Mubarak di Kota Kinabalu pada Rabu 30 Mac 2011.
Katanya ketika ini, Mubarak mempunyai 800 ahli terdiri bekas Ahli Parlimen, bekas Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri dan bekas Senator di seluruh negara, kesemuanya bekas wakil rakyat Barisan Nasional, BN.
Mubarak mempunyai cawangan di seluruh negara kecuali Sarawak yang akan ditubuhkan selepas pilihanraya Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak pada 16 April 2011 ini.
Menurut Datuk Seri Abdul Aziz, kadar pencen yang dinikmati sekarang hanya 50 peratus daripada pendapatan ketika menjadi wakil rakyat.
Kadar kenaikan pencen yang dipinta, adalah mengikut formula yang ditentukan kerajaan kepada penjawat awam yang bersara yang menikmati beberapa kenaikan sebelum ini.
Memorandum untuk kenaikan kadar pencen dan faedah lain itu telah diserahkan kepada Perdana Menteri, namun belum mendapat jawapan.
Sehubungan itu Mubarak berharap dapat mendapat maklumbalas positif dari Perdana Menteri kelak, sesuai dengan konsep rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan.
Katanya, bagi menjaga kebajikan bekas YB lagi, Mubarak sedang dalam proses menubuhkan koperasi di setiap negeri.
Menurutnya lagi, meskipun tidak lagi menjadi wakil rakyat, Mubarak sebenarnya sentiasa aktif dalam membantu BN setiap kali pilihanraya Umum dan pilihanraya kecil.
Dalam perkembangan lain, mesyuarat agung tahunan Mubarak di Kota Kinabalu pada 4 hingga 8 Mei ini dijangka turut dihadiri Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak selaku tetamu khas.
All the best bekas YB dan Mubarak...

The real-life French Spiderman did it again.. Alain Robert conquered Dubai's Burj Khalifa
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest buliding in the world at over 828 metres (2,716.5 feet/half mile) and more than 160 stories in all.!!!
So this super structure ever made by human beings is nearly 1 kilometre tall and it takes super super human effort to climb it from outside using your bare hands, feets, muscles, nerves and mental strength and of course no height phobia at all!!!
But Alain Robert took just 6 hour to conquer the Burj Khalifa on 28th March 2011. Totally Awesome!!!
Burj Khalifa holds the following records:
• Tallest building in the world
• Tallest free-standing structure in the world
• Highest number of stories in the world
• Highest occupied floor in the world
• Highest outdoor observation deck in the world
• Elevator with the longest travel distance in the world
• Tallest service elevator in the world
However, Alain Robert, 48, also holds multiple world record by climbing more than 85 super-tall structures all over the world, from Malaysia to New York.
Nobody in this entire universe can beat Alain Robert in climbing all the tallest structures in the world... No one.. not even Spiderman himself!!!
Robert, the French daredevil, is only 5 foot 5 inches and weighs 105 pounds, yet this Spiderman from Bourgogne, France has climbed more than what Stan Lee's fictional Spiderman is capable of.
On his website, the Frenchman says he is the best solo climber in the world despite the fact he suffers from vertigo and accidents that have "left me disabled up to 66 percent."
But conquering the Burj Khalifa was not easy.
For weeks before the Burj Khalifa climb, Roberts stayed in a hotel near the tower, doing pushups, pullups and loading up on carbohydrate-rich foods like pasta.
Robert began climbing the Burj from the 100th floor of the glass-sheathed structure at around 6 p.m Dubai time on Monday 28th March 2011 as hundreds of gawkers gathered below and completed that historic feat in 6 hours, an hour faster than what he told journalists earlier..
All the best Robert.. you are the pride of France apart from the Three Muskeeters.. All for one and one for all!!!
Rogerio Ceni - the goalkeeper who scored 100 goals!!!
Sao Paolo Goalkeeper, Rogerio Ceni is better than some top class strikers in the world for he already scored 100 goals in all professional competitions.
Here, Ceni scored his 100th goal, a beautiful thunderous freekick from 30 metre in the 2-1 win against Corinthians at the Brazilian football league on Sunday, 27 March 2011.
Ceni struck a perfect right-footed shot over the wall, curling the ball into the top right corner past goalkeeper Julio Cesar in the 54th minute at the Arena Barueri.
"It was beautiful," said Ceni, who was the third goalkeeper in Brazil's squad when it won the 2002 World Cup.
"As a goalkeeper you don't enter the match thinking about scoring a goal, but it happened just as I wanted: with a free kick, deciding an important match. For me, it doesn't matter that it was against Corinthians, but for the fans it must have been important."
It was Ceni's 56th free kick goal, while the others came from penalty kicks.
FIFA says Ceni has 98 goals, but the goalkeeper counts two he scored in unofficial friendlies — one against a combined Santos and Flamengo in 1998 and the other against Russian club Uralan Elista in an exhibition tournament in 2000.
Even by FIFA's count, he is the goalkeeper with the most goals ever scored and even better than the famed Paraguayian goalkeeper, Jose Luis Chilavert who scored 62 goals in his professional career.
Ceni's goal on Sunday also meant a lot for Sao Paulo, allowing the club to end an 11-match winless streak against Corinthians, the team's biggest rival. Sao Paulo hadn't beaten Corinthians since February 2007.
Rogerio Ceni's 57th goal!!!
Ceni most memorable year as a footballer was in 2002 when he was a member of the Brazilian national squad that won the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan, beating Germany 2-0 in the final. Both goals scored by the legendary Ronaldo..
Ceni appeared 950 times for Sao Paolo.
Now, not everybody can do that, not even aliens in far away galaxies. Ceni proves himself as the best attacking goalkeeper in the world!!!
Chilavert is a Football Legend in Paraguay. He saved and scored 62 goals in his gliterring professional career.
YB Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz as new Chairman of Air Asia X
Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz is often refered as Malaysia's woman of steel and the iron lady of Malaysia.
She was a Federal Minister for 20 years and has been in the government for 32 years.
Most notabaly as Minister of International Trade and Industry since 1987 to 2008 when she was dropped after the March 2008 Malaysia's general election.
She was best memorized in the controversy surrounding Approved Permits, AP for the luxurious imported cars permits approved by her Ministry, way back in 2006.
Rafidah was also famous for her infamous spat with then United States Secretary of States Madeline Albright at the 1998 Asia Pacific Economic Corporation APEC Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on November 1998.
Rafidah can take on anybody including the US Secretary of States and also perhaps the US President himself!!!
The 1998 infamous incident happened after Albright met the wife of the recently jailed Malaysian political leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
In a gesture of solidarity, Albright talked briefly with Wan Azizah Ismail, whose husband, former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, was imprisoned in September 1998 and was then on trial for corruption and sex-related charges.
Shortly after the meeting, Albright had a caustic public exchange with Malaysia's Minister of Trade, Rafidah Aziz, about Anwar's treatment. ``The reporting on the trial of Anwar Ibrahim has given us great concern,'' Albright said at a news conference with other ministers.
Many Malaysians were then shocked and outraged when Anwar was denied bail and then appeared at his arraignment with a black eye and other bruises that he attributed to a police beating.
Rafidah responded that Anwar would get a fair trial, adding, ``Maybe when I go to the States, I would like to meet Ken Starr,'' referring to the independent prosecutor who was investigating then US President Bill Clinton.
"He's not in jail,'' Albright replied brusquely, to the surprise of hundreds of reporters who had turned up to hear an announcement of a new trade agreement involving the 21 countries at the meeting.
The ministers did announce a trade deal, though it fell far short of the sweeping agreement to lower tariffs that many countries were seeking.
Okay.. back to current times.
Y.B. Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, is now Chairman of Air Asia X and on 3rd March 2011, the iron lady of Malaysia said getting new routes such as Sydney and Jeddah will be the main agenda for her as the new, independent and non executive chairman of AirAsia X.
Describing her appointment as one that would not just revolve around attending board meetings without knowing the directions of the company, Rafidah said she would be able to contribute much to the team.
“We are still awaiting approvals for several routes that we have applied for such as Sydney and Jeddah,” she told reporters tehn after welcoming former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who visited AirAsia’s office and academy here on 3rd March 2011.
Rafidah said these routes were important for the country, as they could, besides being a link, bring in foreign investors and tourists from overseas.
“An economic spin-off would take place with the routes. Not only in terms of tourists expenditure but also the promotion of Malaysian products such as its services, hotels, transportation and so on.”
Business communities that give importance to low costs will definitely be attracted to using the services of AirAsia when having to travel to the country regularly before deciding on opening up their factory or investing here, she said.
“Not all investors go on first class. You can imagine how many people will come to realise the economic opportunities in Malaysia.”
Indeed, AirAsia will make Malaysia the hub for the transit of tourists travelling in the region, said Rafidah.
“Certainly the new routes will not become profitable and productive overnight but we can build them if we know that there is a market and demand.
This will be first agenda because we know there is huge potential,” she said.
The former Minister of International Trade and Industry said she took two weeks to decide on the offer made to her to take on the post in AirAsia X.
“I was attracted when offered to be the chairman of AirAsia X. Before making the decision, the management gave me a full briefing and I also visited AirAsia.
“I was impressed with the management style and business model and the measures taken to develop Airasia and AirAsia X. Only after this, did I decide to take on the position.”
Rafidah said this was the second posting she had taken up after becoming a board member of one of the subsidiary companies of Johor Corp two years ago.
Meanwhile AirAsia X intends to capitalise on Tan Sri Rafidah’s extensive international expertise, as Malaysia’s longest serving Minister of International Trade & Industry and her world-renown skills as a tough, no-nonsense, pragmatic and articulate international trade negotiator who completed many bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, as well as dealing with top-level executives of global multinational corporations to convince them to invest in Malaysia.
AirAsia X is the low-haul, low cost affiliate of AirAsia, Malaysia’s largest airline by market capitalization.
All the best Rafidah, All the best Malaysia and All the best Air Asia..
Kerajaan Malaysia bantu pulihkan projek perumahan terbengkalai
Sudah pasti kita sering membaca di akhbar atau menonton di TV dan mendengar di radio mengenai projek perumahan yang terbengkalai di Malaysia.
Ada terbengkalai kerana masalah kontraktor dan faktor lain termasuk cuaca atau cerun kurang selamat.
Namun berita gembira kepada bakal pemilik rumah apabila kerajaan Malaysia menerusi Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan sering membantu memulihkan projek perumahan yang bermasalah dan terbengkalai di setiap ceruk dan pelusuk negara bagi membantu semua golongan dalam konsep 1 Malaysia, rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan.
Menurut statistik kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan bagi tempoh 2009 hingga 2010, terdapat 161 projek perumahan terbengkalai di seluruh negara di mana sebanyak 51 projek atau 32 peratus sudah disiapkan dan diberikan sijil layak menduduki (CF).
Timbalan Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Lajim Haji Ukin berkata, dari jumlah tersebut sebanyak 58 projek (36 peratus) projek perumahan sedang dipulihkan dan dalam proses melantik pemaju penyelamat, manakala bagi 52 projek (32 peratus), kementerian beliau sedang berusaha mencari pemaju penyelamat bagi memastikan projek itu siap meskipun lewat.
Menurut beliau Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan (KPKT) banyak menerima aduan mengenai projek bermasalah khususnya perumahan terbengkalai yang memberi kesan kepada pembeli dari segi bebanan kewangan, termasuklah pembayaran balik ansuran pinjaman perumahan dan juga pembayaran sewa yang diduduki pembeli rumah.
“Bagi menangani isu projek perumahan terbengkalai di seluruh negara, Pasukan Petugas Khas Pemudahcara Perniagaan (PEMUDAH) memutuskan supaya ditubuhkan satu pasukan Petugas Khas Pemulihan Projek Terbengkalai yang turut dianggotai pegawai kanan daripada pelbagai agensi kerajaan dan pihak swasta yang berkepentingan dalam industri pemajuan perumahan” katanya semasa ditemui selepas mempengeruskan mesyuarat Projek Perumahan Tebengkalai pembayaan swasta bersama Jabatan Perumahan Negara dan Kerajaan negeri di Wisma Tun Fuad Stephen, Kota Kinabalu pada 9 Mac 2011.
Menyentuh dengan projek perumahan terbengkalai yang dimajukan oleh pihak swasta di Sabah, Lajim yang juga Ahli Parlimen Beaufort berkata setakat ini hanya empat buah projek perumahan terbengkalai yang direkodkan iaitu perojek perumahan Taman Kota di Keningau, Taman Hartamas,Taman Richdar dan juga Taman Mepo di kawasan Kota Kinabalu.
“Pemberian sijil layak menduduki (CF) merupakan antara faktor yang menyebabkan projek perumahan yang disenaraikan ini termasuk dalam ketegori terbengkalai” katanya
Menurut Lajim, bagi menyelesaikan permasalahan ini, kementerian beliau mengambil beberapa tindakan antaranya melaksanakan pemulihan projek melalui pembabitan pemaju berwibawa (White Knight) dan melaksanakan pemulihan projek melalui Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) berasaskan kepada peruntukan yang disediakan Kerajaan melalui Pakej Rangsangan Ekonomi dan Bajet Mini serta menyelaras pemulihan projek oleh pemaju asal.
Di samping membantu dalam menyelesaikan kemelut projek terbengkalai, Lajim berkata, Kementerian beliau memandang serius akan penyampaian dan tahap prestasi PBT dan akan sentiasa memerhati dan membantu PBT untuk meningkatkan lagi prestasi perkhidmatannya.
“Bagi membantu tahap prestasi PBT, satu pelaksanaan Sistem Star Rating (SSR - PBT), diadakan di mana sistem ini adalah selaras dengan hasrat Kerajaan untuk meningkatkan lagi sistem penyampaian perkhidmatan kepada rakyat” katanya
All the best Datuk Lajim...

It is the rehearsal of the 3rd concert today
Muscats gathered.
Many muscats of the opportunity to meet recently.
Though I just met the other day,
In environment different then
I have gathered.
I am honest since an earthquake is generated
Writing a message in blog, Twitter
There was a hesitation (ためら).
I am depressed in the news repeated day after day and will not do it
I feel imprudent that I laugh and forget a smile,
It is 頑張 ろうとか for 頑張 れとか
For example, it is the appeal of economy in power consumption and the donation and
The words that oneself is going to issue
I think all to be hypocrisy, and I feel irresponsible
I was not able to speak of words.
(I had retweeting of a person uttered, tweeting)
But, as for all today, meet
Of a favorite good muscats
Dance to listen to a musical piece desperately
I sometimes joke and
I teach a dance and
Eat rice in a ring
I do a silly conversation and
If I watch a smile not to change all the time of everybody
A heart calmed down very much.
When it is vitality to live for to laugh
The body ached and felt it.
But I want to send a smile simply.
But this situation bottom,
To the fans who looked forward to
I am sorry
The performance of the concert
It was decided to cancel.
(as for the details this place → DMM.com))
I am very disappointed,
This even as for the end without by an opening
One passage point.
A muscats new again
Is shown; only do its best until then.
Ebisu muscats,
Sola Aoi just,
In Japan of such situation
I do not know what is made,
The feeling to tell to want to let people make a smile
I strongly stand.
With a feeling as hard as possible
I can do my best and let's do its best.
Minyak wangi Axe effect tiada effect???
Ramai lelaki mengadu, walaupun sudah menggunakan minyak wangi Axe effect namun tak ada pula perempuan yang secara tiba tiba memberikan nombor telefon mereka kepada si pemakai wangi wangian Axe effect !!! Adakah ini bermakna minyak wangi Axe Effect tiada effect??? hahahaa
Bintang sinetron jelita Indonesia berdarah Belanda dan Inggeris, Asmirandah Zantman (gambar atas) adalah seorang daripada pelakon yang menjayakan iklan itu.
Dalam iklan terbabit, watak dimainkan Asmirandah kelihatan terus terpikat kepada seorang lelaki yang menggunakan minyak wangi Axe lalu Asmirandah menggoda lelaki itu dan memberikan nombor telefonnya dalam makanan sosej yang dipesan lelaki itu.
Namun dalam dunia nyata, memang mustahil ada gadis dan wanita yang terpikat dengan begitu mudah, hanya kerana wangian yang dipakai Sang Lelaki, kecuali gadis itu kena penangan minyak senyonyong effect atau minyak guna guna atau dikenali sebagai "Pugai" di Sabah yang dihasilkan menerusi ilmu mistik!!!
Ini pula sebuah lagi iklan minyak wangi itu menunjukkan seorang gadis ayu memandu kereta sports dan secara tiba tiba naik ghairah dan membeikan nombor telefonnya kepada seorang lelaki yang memakai wangian serba harum itu. Hahaha.. Tidak mungkin berlaku di bumi nyata, disaman polis Trafik adalah.!
Ramai belia Sabah di Semenanjung lupa keluarga di kampung halaman
Ramai belia Sabah termasuk dari kg pedalaman bila bekerja di KL atau negeri lain di Semenanjung... sudah lupa keluarga dan sampai 10 tahun, 20 tahun tak telefon dan hantar khabar.
Akibatnya ramai ibu bapa meminta bantuan media untuk membantu mengesan anak mereka..
Kepada anak2 Sabah di KL.. ingatlah sinaran lampu neon kota metropolitan ada kalanya tidak seindah kicauan burung, kocakan air sawah, kuakan kerbau dan suasana di desa...
Ada ibubapa yang sudah meninggal dunia di kampung dan hasrat akhir untuk menemui semua anak anak tidak tercapai kerana anak di KL atau Semenanjung langsung tak hantar berita.
Nasib mereka tak diketahui di KL dan bandaraya lain di Semenanjung Malaysia.. Hidupkah mereka?? Matikah Mereka?? Senangkah atau susahkah kehidupan mereka??
Banyak kali kita melihat di kaca TV, ibubapa dengan linangan air mata merayu anak mereka pulang ke kampung..
Tak kasihankah anak anak ini melihat penderitaan ibu bapa mereka yang bersusah payah membesarkan mereka dari kecil??
Hanya Tuhan saja yang tahu.
Andrei Shevchenko - pemain teragung Ukraine
Ini antara gol tercantik pernah disaksikan di liga perdana inggeris - jaringan tidak lain dan tidak bukan penyerang terbaik Ukraine Andrei Shevchenko ketika beraksi utk Chelsea dalam perlawanan menentang Tottenham Hotspurs.
Malangnya Shevchenko pemain terbaik Eropah 2004 ini ganjil kerana sering berpindah randah kelab. Bermula dari Dynamo Kiev, dia dibeli AC Milan namun ganjil kerana berpindah ke Chelsea lepas tu balik ke AC Milan dan kemudiannya balik semula ke Chelsea sebelum last ke Dynmao Kiev, kelab lamanya.
Lagenda Ukraine ini sudah menjaringkan 301 goal dalam semua pertandingan.
