'Sarawak will not be left behind'
2009/08/08
By Farrah Naz Karim: Reporting from Perth
TO ensure that no states are left behind, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has directed his ministers to visit Sarawak frequently and identify ways to improve the lives of the people there.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the order was issued in a recent cabinet meeting as the government felt that the people of Sarawak must be given more help in various areas, including education and economy.
Muhyiddin said the government was aware that in view of the coming state elections, the opposition was trying hard to convince the people there that Barisan Nasional had overlooked their interest.
However, Muhyiddin said BN had the support of the state leadership as reflected in close cooperation between the Federal Government and Sarawak government in the state's development.
Muhyiddin said BN needed to work 10 times harder to regain the people's mandate in the next general election.
"As I said before, with a strong leadership, we can build on the party's strength
"We are striving to get close to the people by carrying out sound initiatives and policies that are people friendly.
"This and more of such efforts that we will push for, will change the perception of the people, the Malays and the non-Malays, towards Umno and BN," he told the Malaysian press in Perth, Australia during his official visit.
Muhyiddin noted the tendency of the opposition, including its leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, to campaign in rural and interior Sarawak lately, thinking that they could break the ruling party's support in the state as well as Sabah, which are considered BN strongholds.
This, he said, was to realise their ambition of taking over the Federal Government in the next election.
The Sarawak assembly ends in July 24, 2011 although word on the ground suggests that it could be sooner due to the support for a Najib-helmed BN.
On Najib's statement in Pagoh recently that he had a good relationship with his deputy, Muhyiddin said the partnership enabled them to enjoy a strong, cooperative and effective leadership.
"What is most important is that I understand the vision and direction of the prime minister.
"What I have been doing in the past few months is not merely to assist, but to realise what the prime minister had envisaged."
Muhyiddin dismissed suggestions by some quarters that BN was sidelining the interests of the Malays by placing less focus on the New Economic Policy.
"Although the matter is not frequently mentioned, it does not mean that we are shirking our responsibility to the Malays."
He denied the opposition's claim that there was no longer a share for Malays in the economy.
Muhyiddin said as underlined in the Constitution and government policies, the interests of the Malays were not only always protected, but would be continuously improved although the approach might be different.
He cited the setting up of Ekuiti Nasional Bhd (Ekuinas) as a new initiative aimed at spurring the involvement of Bumiputeras in the economy.

Surprising word from MJ?
I was shock to read some article written by Michael Yap who lives in Malaysia. I don't know whether to trust it or not but the story inside was amazing... You can read for yourself. I don't know how to explain it to you. All I can comment here is that the entire story is opposite from other story out there. The article is more to "Oneself" story. As you read later you can fell how the life of a “legend” is before and after life. Ignore if there is a sensitive issue but take the message that the writer trying to tell the world.
Well... I hope that MJ is happy ever after and rest in peace.

OMG it's coming BACK!
OMG...OMG...MOG... it's coming back with new series of Twilight. I can't wait to watch the movie "The Twilight saga the New Moon". Every time I wake up from sleep I like to watch the trailer over and over again. This is because the first movie which is Twilight already make me crazy about it. This is because of the great work of art in making the movie with the beautiful script and it is very romantic. The cinematography is like perfect and real. Every word spoken by the actor seem like fresh and original and you will find it like it is not a movie but a real one...
I can't wait to watch the movie...

Uprising Death H1N1 victims
August 06, 2009 17:38 PM
Influenza A H1N1 Deaths Leap To 14
PUTRAJAYA, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- Another death related to Influenza A (H1N1), that of a 57-year old male pensioner at the Putrajaya Hospital Wednesday, has raised the number of deaths due to the pandemic to 14 since this morning.
Director-General of Health Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said the victim who had diabetes and hypertension was admitted to the hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) with symptoms of fever, cough and difficulty in breathing.
"He was confirmed having the virus yesterday. He died yesterday of Acute Pulmonary Oedema secondary to H1N1," he told reporters here Thursday.
In that regard, Dr Mohd Ismail again stressed that people with high risk like pregnant women, those with lung disease, obesity, diabetes, asthma, low immunity, heart disease and breathing difficulty to seek immediate treatment at the nearest clinic or hospital as treatment for Influenza A (H1N1) was very effective if treatment was started within 48 hours of onset of symptoms.
He said for those who have normal influenza symptoms and not in the high risk groups they are advised to not panic and rush to get themselves tested.
He said this was because many H1N1 cases in Malaysia, and the rest of the world, would show light symptoms and 98 per cent would recover even without specific medicine.
"Patients with light symptoms are asked to rest and God Willing will recover in three or four days. After recovering they will have the anti-body, so it is not necessary for all cases with light symptoms to undergo H1N1 testing," he said.
Dr Mohd Ismail said H1N1 testing would only be done for cases admitted to ward and those with high risk.
He said this was because the Institute of Medical Research (IMR) which is responsible for testing is swamped with 500 tests a day and that 80-90 per cent were tested negative.
