Permadu Malaysia

Kalau setakat isu bendera terbalik dan stokin KK Mart, itu bukan standard Pemuda UMNO Saya akrab dengan Allahyarham Harun Idris dan Syed Jaffar Albar semasa menjadi presiden Kesatuan Siswa Institut Teknologi MARA 1972-1974, kemudian sertai UMNO pada 1982 dan dipilih menjadi Exco Pemuda UMNO 1984-1987.  Saya pernah ditahan ISA pada 1987 untuk kali kedua perjuangan ketuanan Melayu yang digerakkan oleh Pemuda UMNO - semasa Najib Razak menjadi pemangku ketua Pemuda UMNO - terhadap MCA yang persoal ketuanan Melayu. Nostalgia dan semangat ini mendorong saya meluahkan pandangan ini. Saya ucap tahniah kepada Ketua Pemuda UMNO yang tampil dengan keberanian isu stokin KK Mart dan bendera terbalik.  Malangnya, keberanian itu hanya terhad di gelanggang luar kerajaan dengan individu atau sesiapa yang hina Islam, Melayu dan kedaulatan negara seperti pasang bendera terbalik.  Dalam isu besar seperti integriti kerajaan, rasuah, keadilan, ekonomi rakyat, Pemuda UMNO membisu.

On Wednesday, Segambut Bersatu deputy chief Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad was acquitted of 12 corruption and money laundering charges against him after paying a compound of RM4.1 million. An anti-corruption group has urged the Attorney-General’s Chambers to explain why Bersatu leader Adam Radlan Adam Muhammad was acquitted of his five corruption charges after paying a money laundering compound, reported FMT today. The Center to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4) said there was a discrepancy in the decision as not all offences were compoundable under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (Amla). “While Section 92(1) of Amla allows for compounding of any offence under the Act, there is no equivalent provision under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009. “Section 92 of Amla makes it exceptionally clear that this procedure only applies to offences under it, so how can the prosecution use that provision to justify w...

In the newest development, Malaysiakini reported today that th e DAP Youth and the Johor UMNO Youth have entered into a war of words over the latest incident over an upside-down flag in Pontian, which led to the local council ordering a 30-day closure of a dental clinic. DAP Youth described the Pontian Municipal Council’s (MPPn) punishment against the clinic as excessive and disproportionate. Permadu Malaysia wishes to suggest to all including political parties, political personalities and the authorities not to waste their time with this bloody nonsense and unnecessary actions that cost public money to handle them. If we come across any upside down flags of Jalur Gemilang anywhere, anytime, just advise them politely to rectify it. Do it without prejudice. Actually, this is not a big deal at all. Are we not facing other more important issues that need to be addressed appropriately and urgently? Don't we have other priorities? People are watching. Don't force rakyat to look at...
