1.
Several blogs have given space to a scurrilous statement that I, my
wife and my children, have USD 199.45 million and S $ 42,000,000 in
fixed deposit in the Israeli National Bank in Singapore.

2. The scum who alleges this does not have the guts to give his name.

3.
UMNO can make a statement about the money I gave to Dato Abdullah when
I stepped down. Better still Dato Abdullah can explain how much of the
1.4 billion Ringgit in cash, shares and property that my staff and one
of his Ministers handed over to him is still with him.

Hasilnya Barisan Nasional telah kalah di lima buah negeri dan satu
wilayah. Di lain-lain negeri di Semenanjung kemenangan Barisan Nasional
adalah tipis. Walaupun Barisan Nasional menang di peringkat pusat
tetapi gagal mendapat dua pertiga daripada kerusi Dewan Rakyat seperti
yang biasa dimenangi sejak merdeka oleh Perikatan dan Barisan Nasional.

I
have been asked by the media and commentators in my blog as to whether
I would quit as adviser to Petronas following my quitting as an UMNO
member.

I would like to believe it is not exclusive to UMNO members.

Prior
to my being adviser, the post was held by Tun Hussein Onn who was
appointed by me following his resignation as Prime Minister. When UMNO
was made illegal and UMNO Baru was formed Tun Hussein remained outside
the party but this did not affect his position in Petronas. He remained
Petronas adviser until he passed away.

2. Mungkin dia
telah melakukan kesalahan yang besar yang tindakan ini perlu diambil.
Tetapi secara kebetulan tindakan terhadap Presiden UIA ini diambil
sejurus selepas dia keluar daripada UMNO. Apakah perbuatan beliau ini
yang menyebabkan dianya disingkir?

3. Secara kebetulan juga
sehari selepas dia berkempen untuk anak saya di Jerlun pejabat syarikat
UIA Holdings Sdn Bhd milik UIA telah digeledah oleh Badan Pencegah
Rasuah. Tidak ada apa-apa kesalahan dikesan yang dilakukan oleh
Syarikat atau Tan Sri Sanusi.

Bas-bas
ini dikatakan asalnya milik Intrakota dan City Liner yang telah
diambilalih oleh Rapid KL yang dipercayai adalah milik Khazanah.
Bas-bas ini masih boleh diguna atau boleh diperbaiki dan dijual oleh
Rapid KL. 

Tetapi Rapid KL tidak berusaha bersungguh-sungguh
untuk mendapat balik sedikit pun daripada kos pembelian
syarikat-syarikat ini. 

Kenapa?

1.
When the Government gave ex-gratia payments to the judges involved in
the Tun Salleh Abas removal as the Lord President of Malaysian courts,
the question that needs to be answered is whether it is because of
Government regrets over something that happened not during the period
this Government was in power or is it because of a desperate attempt to
win support after the disastrous results of the election of 2008.

2.
Had the present Government felt regret, it should have paid ex-gratia
payment (for want of a better term) upon achieving power. But obviously
it only felt regret lately, after its brand new de facto Minister of
Law, who incidentally was suspended for money politics, suggested the
move in order to win the approval of the Bar Council.

The
price of crude oil has increased by 400 percent in the last three
years. It follows that the price of products must increase, sooner or
later. In other countries petrol prices had already increased. In the
United Kingdom one litre of petrol sells for more than one pound
sterling or RM7. In the United States it is about RM5.

That the
price in neighbouring countries has gone up is shown by the rush to
fill up by Thai and to a lesser extent Singapore vehicles.

The
Government has now announced an increase in petrol price by 78 sen to
RM2.70 per litre, an increase of more than 40 per cent.
