Democratic Society

democratic society should let voter have three votes, one at home area , another at workplace, the last one at birthplace or hometown!! should a person retired or not working, then two vote at home area, irrespect whether one is citizen of the country or state, as this vote will elect representative that will influence one live!!

BI syarat wajib lulus SPM

Ini memang munasabah, bahkan bahasa cina untuk kaum cina, bahasa tamil untuk kaum tamil. Sekurang-kurang tiga bahasa diperlukan di tingkat SPM, selain daripada matematik, science, sejarah, geografi, sastera, untuk membentuk rakyat menjadi rakyat global hari ini. Bagi mereka yang kurang upaya, sekurang-kurang fasih dalam satu bahasa, dua bahasa yang lain asalkan dapat menggunakannya dalam kegunaan harian.

Penuntut tidak sepatut di sekat bilangan matapelajaran di tingkat SPM, tetapi bilangan calon yang dapat A,B patut disekat, dengan kebanyakannya di C, D, yang memangnya lemah baru dapat E,F.

Diperingkat rendah, bahasa sepatutnya menjadi asas pengajaran, dengan sastera, alam sekitar, sejarah, geografi, civic, agama, matematik, science termasuk jasmani, semuanya digabungkan dalam matapelajaran bahasa, dan tidak dibahagi-bahagikan sampai, anak-anak muda kini mempunyai banyak buku tek, buku latihan.

Malaysia’s opposition leader Wan Azizah has resigned

Malaysia’s opposition leader Wan Azizah has resigned her parliamentary seat of Permatang Pauh to make way for her husband, Anwar Ibrahim, former Deputy Prime Minister to return to the Parliament.



Wan Azizah, who is also the unprecedented female opposition leader in the parliament of Malaysia history, said the decision was made after deliberating with her family, the party leadership and partners in the Pakatan Rakyat (People’s Pact). She had earlier submitted her official resignation to Parliamentary Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, to make way for her husband Anwar Ibrahim to contest as a candidate for People’s Pact in a by-election as soon as possible.

Wan Azizah praised her husband, Anwar Ibrahim to have “articulated a vision for Malaysia that has brought hope to the people. He has the experience and intelligence to reinvigorate our economy, and the charisma and integrity to unite the Malaysian people and restore credibility to our institutions of governance.”

BN

in BN. Among the member parties, some are asking for more power sharing while some are unable to help Umno. Instead, they are waiting for Umno's help.

it approaches Pas. A decades-long formidable opponent, an incompatible competitor, to discuss "Malay's unity".

If Umno can cooperate with Pas, it is able to restore Malay's support and consolidate its ruling foundation. More importantly, it can split Pakatan Rakyat.

As long as it can win over Pas, it can reach two-thirds of majority in the Parliament with its 140 seats and Pas's 23 seats, out of the total of 222 seats.

BN's history will be different as well. Umno and Pas will share BN's regime while other member parties will be pushed further to become decorative embellishment.

BN's ideology will be the ruling foundation of a combination of Umno's nationalism and Pas' religiosity.

BN's traditional multi-racial power sharing mechanism will collapse and replaced by a Malay Muslim-core mechanism.
