Indonesian Deputy Haji Minister urges pilgrims not to transit in Malaysia and Singapore

Indonesia is urging its umrah pilgrims to fly directly to Saudi Arabia on local airlines, instead of taking connecting flights that transit in Singapore and Malaysia, to help boost the republic’s economy.

Referring to news report by Jakarta Globe, Malaysian portal FMT reported Deputy Haj Minister Encik Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak said that around 70,000 Indonesian pilgrims would stop over in Malaysia and Singapore when flying on foreign airlines.

Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, sees two million pilgrims going on umrah annually.

“If we can get the 70,000 people transiting via Malaysia and Singapore to use Indonesian airlines, that will help our national economy,” Dahnil was quoted as saying.

He acknowledged, however, that his suggestion would require national airline Garuda Indonesia and the privately owned Lion Group to improve their services.

Additionally, these airlines must provide competitive prices to improve their standing among Indonesian pilgrims.

Dahnil’s statement came on the heels of a decision by Indonesia to reduce natural gas exports to Singapore as president Prabowo Subianto sought to shore up domestic supply and strengthen energy security for South-East Asia’s largest economy.

MAHATHIR MAY REJOIN UMNO

Image
What Mahathir expected did not happen Initially, Mahathir Mohamad thought his party – PPBM (Bersatu) – could  morph  into a new version of UMNO. After all, it was him who brilliantly destroyed the original UMNO in 1988 and created “UMNO Baru” (the current UMNO version 2.0). But unlike in 1988, Mr. Mahathir had quit UMNO to form PPBM on 8 September 2016, and was no longer in charge of UMNO. UMNO won four times higher than Bersatu in GE14 Hence, after he leveraged on opposition Pakatan Harapan and stunningly defeated the scandal-plagued Najib government, his first priority was  recruiting  UMNO MPs to join his party. UMNO, although lost miserably, still won 54 parliamentary seats in the May 2018 General Election – more than 4 times the number of seats Mahathir’s party managed to capture. PPBM the worst among four strategic parties Mahathir’s party won  only 13 seats  out of the 52 Parliamentary seats it contested in the 2018 poll. That’s ...

BERI PELUANG LIM KIT SIANG JADI PERDANA MENTERI SAMPAI 2023

Penyelesaian terbaik untuk kemelut politik Malaysia. Lim Kit Siang sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia Ke-9  (2020-2023) Lim Kit Siang, Ahli Parlimen (DAP) Iskandar Puteri, Negeri Johor Gambar dari NST SAYA orang Melayu. Saya penganut agama Islam. Saya sayangkan bangsa Melayu. Saya juga sangat mencintai agama suci yang dibawa oleh Junjungan Besar Nabi Muhammad SAW. Saya bersaksi bahawa tiada Tuhan yang disembah melainkan Allah. Dan saya bersaksi Nabi Muhammad itu adalah Pesuruh Allah. Atas dasar inilah saya mengemukakan cadangan yang mungkin tidak disenangi ramai orang Melayu yang beragama Islam, majoriti penduduk Malaysia. Suka atau tidak, orang Melayu yang layak mengundi merupakan kuasa penentu pemerintahan. Apa pun, negara ini tetap diketuai oleh ketua bukan eksekutif (yang mempunyai kuasa-kuasa tertentu), iaitu Yang di-Pertuan Agong. Cadangan ini adalah satu cadangan yang serius.

Who are the lion, tiger, fox and wolves in Malaysian politics?

Image
Ten Wolves Under the Administration of a Tiger The Lion put the Tiger in charge of ten wolves Every day, the Lion brought them eleven pieces of meat. The Tiger divided the food fairly: he kept one piece for himself and gave the other ten, all equal in size, to the wolves—one piece each. Several days passed, and the wolves began to whisper among themselves in discontent.  “Why does the Tiger get as much as we do?” said one. “He hardly does anything. All he does is hand out the food,” another agreed. “There are ten of us and only one of him. If we drive him away, we can decide for ourselves who deserves how much.” The Tiger heard their whispers, but he did not change his rules. He believed that as long as he treated everyone fairly, there would be no reason for rebellion. But one day, the wolves surrounded him.  “We don’t need a leader anymore,” said the boldest among them. “Leave.” The Tiger had no desire to fight ten wolves. He left the pack and returned to the Lion. The next ...
