Lawmakers should go all-out to help needy: Activist

KUALA LUMPUR: All members of Parliament (MP) should “hit the ground running” to help the huge number of their constituents whose livelihoods have been badly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, said a prominent social activist.

“The situation on the ground is really bad, particularly for those who can barely afford to make ends meet or put food on the table, with loss of jobs and income due to the pandemic,” Social Care Foundation chairman Tan Sri Robert Phang told theSun.

“We have over 200 MP and if they pool their resources, there’s a lot that can be done and it will make a positive impact. Stop all politicking and bickering that have done a lot of damage, resulting in political instability and uncertainty in the country.”

Phang said the foundation was doing its best to reach out to the needy with donations, including a recent aid of RM200,000 to the National Heart Institute for the purchase of equipment.

The social activist said he supported the recent change in leadership in the country, cooling down the political temperature so that the nation could move on without undue distractions.

“I also appeal to new Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to set his priorities right, which is to focus on putting the country back on track.

“The people know we are going into very challenging times ahead as the pandemic is far from over and the premier must show his leadership.”

Phang said although the Cabinet that will be sworn-in comprised mainly old faces from the previous one, Ismail Sabri was right in instructing them to prove their achievements within the first 100 days.

Ismail Sabri had said the new Cabinet would adopt a more transparent approach by upholding the aspirations of his Malaysian Family policy.

支持最高元首依宪行事，政府有错就应道歉

支持最高元首依宪行事，政府有错就应道歉

自国会7月26日开会，便闹出国盟政府宣布废除紧急状态的做法不符合法律程序，如果国盟政府的确没有依足程序，做错了就应该向最高元首和国会道歉。

国有国法，既然国家有一套法律程序要遵守，政府就应该以身作则，才符合法律的原则。所谓法律面前人人平等，不是一句口号而已，执行法律者必需全力维护这个原则，而不是在法律面前分为“政府”与“其他人”、“部长”与“平民”两套做法，这是完全违悖了法治精神。

既然宪法已明文规定紧急法令的颁布过程，即颁布与废除紧急状态条文的权力属于最高元首，那么，政府就应该尊重最高元首。我们支持君主立宪，请各方都要依照宪法的条文来行使各自的权力。

自从国盟去年上台以来，它的治理能力，它的防疫方针，大家都可以做个评断，好坏自在人心，确诊病例超过100万例，死亡人数逼近9000，简直就是一个失败的实例，这一点，国盟政府应该向人民道歉。

至于经济的治理，在我心目中，国盟是空有理想，所谓理想很肉感，现实则很骨感。一堆漂亮的数据，在没有实质的方案支撑之下，它就无法砌起漂亮的经济堡垒。大家看在眼里，总给人一种感觉，它只是某求懵混过关的障眼法。

政府忙于内部斗争，马来西亚何去何从？

社会爱心基金会主席丹斯里拿督彭茂燊太平局绅感慨

政府忙于内部斗争，马来西亚何去何从？

 

疫情困扰我国一年多，打着救国旗帜的国盟不但无法缓解疫情，如今还陷入内乱，简直就是置人民和国家于水深火热之中，使马来西亚到了十字路口，该何去何从？

正在为政权而忙的政客已经无暇兼顾人民和国家，再加上政治投机份子的怂恿，政府已经无法正常发挥功能了，因此，人民唯有保持冷静、团结一心才能自救。

在政界一片兵荒马乱之际，人民一定要镇定，发挥自己的力量，而有能力者应不分肤色和宗教，继续为需要者提供援助，与此同时，民众也不要随意在社交媒体发表或转发未经证实的消息，以免为整个局势添乱。

我也在此呼吁公务员保持中立，公务员应避开政治斗争，只尽身为公务员的本分，有效地协助人民度过难关。公务员的俸禄是取之于民，因此，他们应该服务人民，而不是为政客做贡献。

我国的病例竟然在紧急状态实施期间，由2000多宗到昨天的8868宗，死亡人数创新多达130人，简直就是一个政府失败的鲜活例子。如今，领导之间发生争权纠纷，他们已经无视水深火热的民生和经济问题，人民自救才是出路。

截至昨天，已经完成两剂疫苗接種的人数只有9.3％，离群体免疫的80％目标，还有一个非常大的距离，能否在今年杪达到目标还是一个巨大的问号。

再看我们的疫苗等级人数，截至昨天也只有1720多万人，虽然过了半数的人口，但大家别忘记，我国还有一大批的外劳，根据非正式统计，这批合法与非法的外劳人数至少有数百万之巨，他们将是我国群体免疫的一大缺口。

 今天的政府因内斗正炽热，他们已经无法安心去策划抗疫的计划，既然如此，这批政客应该把权利下放给专业人士，比如由卫生部总监诺希山召集国内外医药专才组织一个国家抗疫委员会，并由委员会全权操作抗疫，政府和部长只需要根据委员会的推荐给予配合即可。我相信，这批专业人士在没有政治操弄的情况下，可以更好的执行抗疫计划。

当一个政府无法正常发挥它的功能，就表示人民当务之急既是自救了，为此，民间要发挥互助的精神，才能让社会安渡冠病大流行的大坎。我也再次呼吁尚有良心的政客，国州议员以及上议员们要走入群众，认真看一看民间的生活，了解他所面对的难题。

我也奉劝民众，不要随着政客和政治投机份子们起舞，不但会为政客所用，也将让我国从黑暗迈向更黑暗的未来。所以，同胞們，大家要静观其变，让我们趁此机会看清政客们的真面目。

PLEASE FOLLOW THE SOPs IF YOU TRULY CARE FOR YOUR FAMILY & STOP SPREADING THE VIRUS.

PRESS STATEMENT BY:-
TAN SRI DATUK ROBERT PHANG MIOW SIN.

CHAIRMAN – SOCIAL CARE FOUNDATION

 

 

PLEASE FOLLOW THE SOPs IF YOU TRULY CARE FOR YOUR FAMILY & STOP SPREADING THE VIRUS.

  

The Nation must appreciate and give their fullest support to Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah, YB Datuk Ismail Sabri and YB Khairy Jamaluddin for their tenacity in leading the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia.  Kudos to these daring men with their selfless acts of coming out to the ground to help the Rakyat regardless of their own safety and wellbeing. 

We salute you YB Khairy Jamaluddin, a promising young politician who has shown brilliant and sound leadership at this time of crisis. If I may be so bold to ask, where are all the other elected politicians? Should you not be concerned about the well-being of the voters who placed their trust in you to take care of them by voting for you? Shame on you.

This Covid-19 pandemic virus does not seem to be slowing down but continues to bulldoze its way, effecting the young and old, the sick or healthy, rich or poor.  Many innocent lives have been lost to this ferocious pandemic.  The Government has initiated strict SOPs for Rakyat to follow, which must be adhered at all costs without fail as this will help contribute to flatten the curve.

Regardless of if you have already been vaccinated, these SOPs must continue to be a norm in our daily lives if we really care for ourselves and loved ones. There is no other alternative but to follow the SOPs.  Let us not lower our guard when the rate of infection seems to be receding, but we must remain constantly alert.

I am very sure the majority of us are God-fearing people, but God cannot help us if we do not help ourselves. FOLLOW THE GIVEN SOPs. Let us unite to help stop this virus from further spreading and claiming more lives. Our loved ones could be the next victim.

 

STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE.

Mahathir defends former IGP

Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad has defended his move to appoint Abdul Hamid Bador as the inspector-general of police (IGP) under his then Pakatan Harapan government.

The Langkawi MP said he had selected Hamid out of confidence in the then Special Branch deputy director's capabilities to restore the police's image which had been tarnished by corruption.

"I met him before he (Abdul Hamid) retired (in 2018)... he said in the police force there was a lot of corruption, graft and he was the number two in the Special Branch (at the time).

"He was due to be appointed Special Branch director but he did not want the job because of corruption and graft," Mahathir said in an interview with Malaysiapost last night.

"So I thought, not many people were willing to take up early retirement over an opportunity for a promotion, but when he did that, I thought he would do a good job (as IGP).

"That is why even though he was a junior, even though he had retired, I called him back to be the IGP," he added. 

On May 3, Hamid ended his contract as IGP and handed over power to his deputy Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani.

Several days prior to his retirement, he launched an attack against Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin, exposing alleged attempts to interfere in the police's internal affairs.

This was on top of claiming that Hamzah had abused the police for his political benefits.

Commenting further, Mahathir commended Hamid's attempt to crack down on corruption within the force.

"Throughout his time as IGP, quite a number were arrested for graft, something that never used to happen. Maybe there was not a lot of corruption then but there is now," he said.

Mahathir added that such alleged interference by a minister should not have occurred.

"It should not happen. I had good ties with the IGP but that doesn't mean we want to overpower them.

"So, there can be good ties between a minister and IGP, under the condition there is no abuse," the nonagenarian said.

呼吁政府抗疫别掺杂政治水分，人民则必须自律自保

呼吁政府抗疫别掺杂政治水分，人民则必须自律自保

  

我国疫情不退则进，这凸显了政府的抗疫政策没有成效，不但无法断了新冠传染链，更没有达到预期的效果。每天的数据就告诉我们一件实事，就是政府抗疫纳入了太多虚招，包括颁布紧急法令还有佳节的SOP，对抗疫没有一点帮助。

我国近期的新冠感染已经逐渐在社区传染，上至高官部长，下至升斗小民，都纷纷中招，使我国的感染人数居高不下，而死亡数据，也由每天的个位数，上升到两位数，我们应该从印度惨况吸取教训，别为了博取支持率而推行一些民粹形式的抗疫SOP，这种举动的确令人感到担心！

病毒是不分宗教和肤色的，因此抗疫要靠自律，如果人民无法自律，那么政府就要严律，不是靠喊口号就可以达到抗疫效果的。

我也恳求所有的宗教信徒要善用上天给你们的脑袋，在进行任何聚会、恳亲会、互访等动作之前，请先想清楚，真的要为自己和别人着想，如此一来，才可以做到利己利人。

我认为，人们除了懂得祈祷之外，最重要是要懂得自律和保护好自己，这样才可以让自己和家人平安地生活。

保护好自己是你个人的责任，保护好大家是大家的共同责任，所以我奉劝大家要步步为营，因为大家都可能是大家身边的计时炸弹，你从不会知道你会在那里感染到病毒，因此，大家要尽量减少流动，多照顾本身的卫生，勤洗手，常戴口罩。

病毒不会因你是某个宗教信徒，或正在庆祝什么佳节喜庆，你就有免疫功能，请自律，请照顾好自己，你才能保护好别人！
