（砂拉越．詩巫）反貪污局查案官發現其中一個置放巨款的信封變輕，似乎有被開過的痕跡，並要求在眾人面前拆開信封後，揭發是起證物失竊案。
The ACA in Sibu found the evidences missing as monies turned into stacks of papers. The envelops containing large sum of monies seemed tampered and in one of the case the ACA investigating officer requested it to be opened in front of the magistrate and was shocked to see stacks of papers inside.
The above news has once and for all destroyed whatever credibility and integrity that was left of the ACA. The public has all the while doubted the ACA and labelled it as toothless tiger that only preys on the small fly and never dare to tackle the big fish and the VIP. Now this incident has pepped up the coffee shop 's grapevine telegraph.
The RM40,000 was gone as if this is a David Copperfield illusion show. But the disappearance of the RM 40,000 could mean that the investigation of the corruption cases come to a halt as evidence would be missing from trials.The judges would be hard pressed to decide if the defence attorneys challenge the "missing" evidence in the trials of the corruption cases.
We have frequently read news of con artists who preyed on the defenseless victims using the promise that they can help to "generate" or "produce" money with money. The victims would hand over the money to the con artists who will wrap up the money in used newspapers and waited overnight for the "new born monies" to be produced. Of course the end result is known to us all, the victims who cry their way to the police station and news reporters would again shake their heads when writing down the news report.
Now, many would say that the ACA itself is a con artist who performs and steals the second- rated show from the con artists. The severity of this case is beyond redemption for the ACA, at least until the whole case is solved and the culprit is brought to justice.
The ACA must act fast and cooperate with the police authority to solve the case without any reservation and let the truth be brought to light. That means the media should be given a green light to report the findings to the general public.

Why is the Ringgit so weak against all the major currencies?
From http://bbs.my45.net/
My posting "为 甚 么RINGGIT 不 值 钱?"
根据首相阿都拉所发布的声明表示,令吉与美元的汇率也贬值，因此根据政府所使用的计算方程式，最多只能降低油价10仙。
几 十 年 来 我 国 的 令 吉 对 世 界 主 要 钱 币 的 汇 率 都 贬 值， 如 下
1〕1980 年， 令 吉 对 新 币 和 汶 币 差 不 多是1 对1， 现 在 是 1 新 元 或 汶 币 对 2。4 马 币。
2〕1980 年， 令 吉 对 加 币 是1 加 币 对1。8 马 币，现 在 是 1 加 币 对 3。2 马 币。
政 府 因 该 解 释 为 甚 麽 我 国 的 令 吉 一 直 贬 值。 自 MERDEKA 以 来， 国 阵 一 直 掌 管 国 家， 他 们 因 该 为 我 国 的 经 济 问 题 负 责。
贪 污， 腐 败， 新 经 济 政 策， 拐 杖 政 策， 朋 党 主 义， 华 基 政 党 自 我 矮 化 和 UMNO 一 党 独 大 都 是 目 前 我 国 作 大 的 敌 人。
The following is the comment by one YP from my45.net:
如果你以令吉贬低来控诉政府，我认为你该保留和study清楚先。因为货币政策太复杂，每个时期世界环境不同，方向不同。
而且弱势马币可以吸引他国来投资，就以中国来说，前几年都是以1美元兑8.27人民币挂钩。这吸引了几百亿的FDI (FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT)，这造就中国成为世界工厂，上亿人口有工作，然后带动经济。现在成为发展中国家最强的国家，其能力直逼美日德三大先进世界经济体。
反观强势，他有他的优点，美国在克林顿总统时代采取强势美元非常奏效，详细的政策不多说。
其他如 “贪 污， 腐 败， 新 经 济 政 策， 拐 杖 政 策， 朋 党 主 义， 华 基 政 党 自 我 矮 化 和 UMNO 一 党 独 大 都 是 目 前 我 国 作 大 的 敌 人。” 这个大家有目共睹，但你认为以令吉一直贬低的话题来攻执政党，必须三思。就以非常简单的例子来讲，新元非常强，这让新加坡人来马消费，使柔佛州州经济活跃。而因新元兑换率高，吸引大马人民去新工作，为国家赚外汇。
但这句“根据首相阿都拉所发布的声明表示,令吉与美元的汇率也贬值，因此根据政府所使用的计算方程式，最多只能降低油价10仙”的确有蒙骗人民的成份在内。如果你针对这statement控诉，这还可以说的通。
My response to YP's comment was as follow:
The actual fact is a country's currency and its value is measured against its economy performance. If the country is economically strong, then its currency would have a higher value than say an under developed nation.
To say that we would be able to attract foreign direct investment if our currency is weak is against the principle of basic economic. For example, Indonesia with a "banana" currency, is definitely a weak economy marred by wrong economy policies and corruptions and political instability. So how come Indonesia can not attract FDI? Why the Indonesian can't catch up with China with such a weak and volatile currency?
We can't use China as an example to say that a weak currency would benifit the country and the people of China is unique with a strong cultural presence and a large educated yet cheap work force. But the capital income of the Chinese is way below the G7 nation. The purchasing power of the people are weak and their standard of living is far below the G7 counterpart. China now faces a big social problem where the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger by the day, it doesn't have big middle class like the G7.
If Malaysia is well managed, we should have a currency as strong as the Singaporean as well as the per capital income of the Singaporean which is even above some of the G7 countries. So isn't that a criteria to appriase the performance of the government. Remember that Singapore was part of Malaysia before it got its own Independence in 1965. Its founding father, Mr. Lee KY in his book said that the Island state has nothing to fall back on and he was worried as how it can survive once seperated from Malaysia. He further said in 2007 that Malaysia would be more prosperous than Singapore if its government practises meritrocacy and treat all Malaysian equally and fairly in terms of educational and career opportunity.
The conclusion is obvious, the government must be blamed for the rot in the country where the per capital income is only USD6000 plus compared to USD 25,000 of our Singaporean counterparts! It is still standing in the circle of fiery political rhetoric.

Yellow ribbons round my45 (or my Sibu)
Repost from http://bbs.my45.net/
Yellow ribbons round my45
i saw many members here using the Yellow Ribbon to symbolise the call for the release of the detainees under the draconian ISA. The golden oldie that goes like "tie the yellow ribbon round the old oak trees.." surely comes to my mind. Although Teresa Kok has been released, the yellow ribbons should remain in this forum as there are still many freedom fighters such as the Raja Petra and the Hindrafff movement's leaders still under custody without any fair trial.So, tie the yellow ribbons round my45 and pray that the freedom fighters would be released soon and the draconian ISA be abolished.

Active Citizenship
Re post from http://bbs.my45.net/
Heard about the phrase "Active Citizenship"?It is about the people who take charge of the political developments in the country and make the political parties accountable for their actions and the government accountable to their promises and their policies. It is about self empowerment and a responsible citizen of the country who puts the country first but seeking self fulfillment at the same time.
The people's rights come with their responsibilities and that they must be active in seeking Active Citizenship. Many of us have given up our rights and thought that "what can i do? I am but a poor individual who can't even take care of my own problems."
But then we complain about the government policies such as the high fuel prices and high inflation on food stuffs and why our children are subject to either special discrimination on job seeking or scholarship application or getting a place in the local universities. If we do not seek active citizenship, then how can we seek equal treatment or fair allocation of resources? If we do not seek active citizenship, then we are really not an equal partner of this country.
Can you believe that almost 2,00,000 eligible voters in Sarawak have yet register themselves with the SPR or Election Commission? In Sibu alone, there are around 25,000 eligible voters who have not register themselves. These are mostly youths who can really make a big difference in the election outcomes in Sibu and Sarawak and for that matter, the whole country.
I urge all the members in this forum to request/ ask all you friends and families or colleagues or church members or associations' members to register themselves as eligible voters.
Obama campaign in the USA had done the same and drew in millions of youth to register themselves and they could very well decide Who Shall Be The Next President of the USA!

一句道歉就解决问题了吗？ 华社和非土族就满意了吗？
一句道歉就解决问题了吗？ 华社和非土族就满意了吗？
比起早前促阿末依斯迈公开道歉的态度，首相阿都拉在槟州全体13巫统区部于昨日力挺阿末依斯迈后，今日的立场明显软化，虽然没有力挺阿末依斯迈，但是却接受其“阐述史实”的解释。阿都拉不仅未再提及道歉一事，反将矛头指向媒体，要求切莫再渲染种族课题。
我 们 应 该 用 另 一 种 角 度 去 看 整 个“华人寄居论”
阿末依斯迈是代表巫统和国阵， 他的言论代表了马国阵政府的种族政策和它们的心态。一句道歉就可解决多年一句话就可以解决国家51年来不公平，不平等，不民主 的种族的政策？一句道歉 就可解决多年以来的不平等的协商和政策？
结 语
我们的国家，我们的下一代，将何去何从？人民应该用宏愿的眼光和本身的知慧来决定我国家的前途。 我们应全力围剿阿末和跟他有挂钩的政客和政党！

Sama sama lah, dia orang semua tipu ajah!
This forum is one of the most active and vibrant one (for the youth) that i have come across. Many are actively involved in the discussion of politics, such as "All politicians are the same" or "They are all in the same boat." or "Malaysia is hopeless." or "Why should i vote?" or "They are all corrupt." or "Sama sama lah, only out to cheat."
Allow me to highlight certain things so as to bring attention to the youth and then they can decide what they want to do or how they want to vote. The bottom line is "nobody is insulated or can be separated from the politics and politics dictates our lives and our future through government policies such as economy,taxation, education, peace and security and the rights and liberty of the citizen. "
Below are some of the core issues that we have to look at in deciding which political party to vote and which to "drop" :
1)The people should look at the policies of the BN versus the Pekatan Rakyat's. A good example is the allocation to the Chinese schools. Perak government allocated a 10,000 ha of land to the Independent Chinese Schools while the Penang government allocated RM1 million every year to the same. What has the BN done for 51 years?
2)The statements of the BN leaders such as the "Chinese are Squatters..." The UMNO youth Hishammudim raised the Kris and warned the non-bumi etc etc. how can the country be divided and ruled by ethnic backgrounds?
3)The corruption issues of the country. The country is almost bankrupt with so much corruption and thus it has to raise the fuel price by 78sen and RM 1.0 for petrol and diesel, who suffer in the end?Over the last two decades, corruption has cost us some USD 100 billions(according to one international investment banker)
4)The land issues such as the payment of land premium up to 50% in Sarawak. Ordinary people can only afford to buy a house and yet the Sarawak state government wants us to buy it back after 60 years by making the landowners to pay the land premium.
5)The fuel prices, "Should the government reduce the fuel price by 15sen or more?" Can't we maintain the oil prices when we are the net exporter and make a windfall when the price of oil rise in the international market?
6)The inflation issues, "Should the government put in more effort to reduce inflation such as control the ceiling price of basic food items?" What has the government done? It told the people not to raise the prices when it knows perfectly well that the fuel prices hike will bring about the inflation spiral and the people will have to increase prices of goods and services in order to survive.
6)The economy policies such as the New Economic Policies, should it be discarded or should it be replaced by the policies of meritocracy and policies of Malaysian First?
7)Should the judicial system be reformed to give it the Independent and Autonomy that is essential to the justice of the country?
8)Should be maintain the ISA, the Press, printing and publication Act and the Official Secret Act? All these were utilized by the powers of the day to STOP and SILENCE the oppositions to speak out for the people. Why the BN wants to keep them, is it for the security of the nation or is it for the security of the leaders only?
The above are some of the things that the people should pay attention to and see why there is such a difference between the BN and the oppositions' government. Then we can decide whether we should allow BN to continue its dominance or let there be a bipartisan system of government in Malaysia just like the US, the UK and most of the most advance countries in the world.
One final words of advise, you don't have to like the opposition but you can "use" them to control and check the government of the day. Remember that COMPETITION brings out the BEST!
