2. Bagi Anwar inilah yang biasa dilakukan olehnya jika ia berkuasa. Semasa menjadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Kewangan memang pun banyak kontrak diberi olehnya kepada penyokong politiknya dan keluarganya.

3. Kementerian telah pamerkan semasa mesyuarat agong UMNO senarai orang yang mendapat kontrak semasa ia berkuasa. Terdapat dalam senarai nama-nama penyokongnya dan keluarganya. Tidak ada satupun dari anak saya yang tersenarai.

2. The opposition is particularly strong on this issue. They are very concerned that we respect human rights and principles of justice. They believe that we should accept the liberal views of the great western civilisations particularly the United States of America.

3. In war of course you can kill anyone you designate as the enemy. The war against terrorism which many countries led by the US is fighting is not a war against any country. It is a war against terrorists.

2. Then came the alternative media via the Internet. Governments not only find themselves almost incapable of controlling but the belief now rejects any attempt at control by the authorities. Actually there was always control by the owners, editors and even sub-editors.

3. In the alternative media just about anyone can put anything they like to say on the internet directly, with no managers, editors or sub-editors changing any of the contents. The freedom is almost total. This is the essence of democracy?

2. Saya berada sebagai menteri dalam kabinet Tun Hussein di waktu mana PAS keluar dari Barisan Nasional. Saya juga ada dalam kabinet Tun Razak bersama Dato Asri Muda dan Hassan Adli semasa PAS menyertai Barisan Nasional.

3. Dato Asri diberi jawatan Menteri Tanah dan Galian. Ini bermakna dia bertanggung jawab terhadap FELDA.

2. I remember during weekends I would drive to see construction work on the airport. The contractors had cut down all the trees and bushes leaving some 4000 acres of bare land. It looked ugly and I just could not imagine the trees growing back.

3. But Bashir promised he would turn the bare land into a forest and he would have trees growing inside the airport itself. He would also plant oil palms so as to give the airport extra income.

2. He will duplicate Cairo’s Tahrir Square in Kuala Lumpur and he will organise demonstrations involving hundreds of thousands of people in order to bring down the Government if he loses the election.

3. He claims that the election victories of the BN in the past were due to cheating, and to dirty tactics. That is why he organised the “Bersih” demonstrations with a quarter of a million people. Bersih means Clean. The people he claims want to ensure Clean Elections. If they don’t get a clean election this time they will force a new election to be held through massive daily demonstration on a scale never seen in Malaysia before. The election would be deemed dirty if Anwar’s Pakatan loses.

2. Malaysians respect each others’ religions and the rights of the religious practises of their followers. We avoid commenting on other people’s religion even though we may have furious debate within each religion.

3. Unfortunately now we have this controversy on the use of the name of God, Allah. Many years ago this controversy was settled through the acceptance that the Christians of Sabah and Sarawak could continue to use the word Allah in their Malay language bible and teachings but these should not be used in the rest of the country.

2. Malangnya ada pemandu yang tidak menghormati undang-undang. Mereka pandu dengan kelajuan yang kerterlaluan. Dan berlakulah kemalangan dengan kehilangan nyawa.

3. Undang-undang sahaja tidak mencukupi. Penguatkuasaan undang-undang diperlukan. Dan polis pun ditugas untuk mengesan kelajuan yang berlebihan kereta bermotor di jalan-jalanraya.
