			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always loved Tun Dr Mahathir. Whether you guys love him or hate him, you cant deny his massive role in upbring Malaysia from &#8220;singapore&#8217;s neighbour some where in Asia&#8221; to a world renowned country.</p>
<p>Our lovely scandal riddled DPM , Dato Sri Najib is going to become our next Prime Minister. With Najib going to the top chair, there is a talk of RETURN of &#8220;MAHATHIRISM&#8221; to our ruling government.</p>
<p>I must fully agree with<a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/92737" target="_blank"> Malaysiakini&#8217;s article</a> on this matter.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em>With Najib in the top job, flanked by another Mahathir protege Muhyiddin Yassin, who is slated to be deputy premier, and possibly Mahathir&#8217;s son Mukhriz, who is contesting the influential post of Youth wing chief, the ex-premier will again have friends in high places.</em></strong></p>

<p><span>Greetings to all, updates from the Sri Lankan Embassy Demonstration earlier today. </span></p>
<p><span>Photos at :- <span><span><a href="http://pemudamic.org/index.php?ind=gallery&amp;op=section_view&amp;idev=15" target="_blank">http://pemudamic.org/index.</a><a href="http://pemudamic.org/index.php?ind=gallery&amp;op=section_view&amp;idev=15" target="_blank">php?ind=gallery&amp;op=section_</a><a href="http://pemudamic.org/index.php?ind=gallery&amp;op=section_view&amp;idev=15" target="_blank">view&amp;idev=15</a></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">More than 200 people from MIC Youth and several non-governmental organizations staged a peaceful demonstration in front of the Sri Lankan High Commission here yesterday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">They were protesting against the Sri Lankan government&#8217;s continued air and ground attacks against Sri Lankan Tamils resulting in innocent men, women and children being killed and maimed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The demonstration which was led by MIC Youth deputy coordinator S. Murugesan and MIC Youth advisory council chairman S. Ramis. MIC Youth coordinator T. Mohan and S. Vell Paari were present to give their moral support.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">All the members wore black armbands while some carried placards depicting the pictures of the affected women, children and damaged houses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">However they decided not to submit a memorandum of protest to the High Commission after their officials insisted on only allowing MIC Youth officials to present it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Murugesan said that it was unacceptable as MIC Youth had already informed the High Commission that they were coming together to hand over the memorandum.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">&#8220;It seems that the High Commission wants to divide the MIC Youth and the ngos. Their condition is unacceptable,&#8221; he told reporters later.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Earlier a High Commission official only wanted to allow two people to go into their premises to submit their memorandum but later relented to allow five of them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The official requested for the identification cards of the five representatives including three ngo representatives which he took into the premises but later came back and said that only the MIC Youth representatives would be allowed in.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Murugesan said that they would initiate a campaign to urge Malaysians to boycott Sri Lanka products as well as the Sri Lanka airlines.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">&#8220;We would be having another demonstration with a much bigger crowd in the near future. We will show our strength,&#8221; he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>I was there , but no pics of mine because I was the camera man! <img src='http://novinthen.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a lil bit a political spice at Novinthen.com</p>
<p>Where you like it or not , I respect him for what he is and what he has done,especially the debate with Dato Sri Anwar Ibrahim.</p>
<blockquote><p>In another development, Information Ahmad Shabery Cheek said no one had pressured him into deciding not to contest any post in the Umno Supreme Council in December’s party polls.</p>
<p>He said he did not want to be seen as using his position as the minister of information to promote himself through agencies under the ministry such as Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), the Special Affairs Department (JASA) and the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama).</p>
<p>He said he also wanted to set an example for staff of the ministry, that none of them should be seen using their advantage and position to engage in political contests.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am sticking to my decision not to contest a post in the supreme council in the coming elections. There is no pressure. I want to be an example.<br />
<strong><br />
&#8220;If I, as a minister, am not contesting, not using my position &#8230; the people under me can also follow my example,&#8221; he was quoted as saying by Bernama.</strong></p>
<p>Ahmad Shabery reminded his ministry staff not to contest senior positions in the Umno elections for fear that others would see them as using their position as an advantage.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meritrocracy will not happen in a country where even Judges can &#8216;buy&#8217; their seat. I would say 10 % of everything ( scholarships,uni intake,poli intake,public service intake etc ) is good enough compared to 100%  of nothing!<br />
<br />
<strong>What you guys think? Want to join me in the </strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystopia" target="_blank"><strong>dystopia </strong></a><strong>that we are in now, or stay in imaginary </strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia" target="_self"><strong>Utopia.</strong></a><br />
<br />
Remember, Quota is our NEP ( New Economic Policy ) , Meritrocracy is &#8216;their&#8221; NEP ( Never Ending Policy ).<br />
