New Political Development in Malaysia

-

I have posted my view on Malaysia current political situation last week. That however does not taking into consideration of the latest political development which occur these few days, where the UMNO president disclose his secret meeting with PAS (another political party largely comprised of Malay and having Islam as its main agenda). These is not new, when one of the state in Peninsular Malaysia falls into 'Pakatan Rakyat' (the opposition coalition), I have heard rumors saying that Perak Mufti (Muslim Highest Officer, advising Sultan and the Palace) met PAS leaders (motivated by UMNO) to discussion on whether the PAS willing to corporate with UMNO in setting up the new government. I also heard that the Mufti managed to convince PAS national top leaders except state level leaders, and that is why the proposal did not come through.


 

Now, we hear it again, but this time from the UMNO president wanting to set up another meeting with PAS (it was known later that there has been 2 meetings before). My conclusion is; I suppose such meetings were and is intended not to be made public but somehow (and as usual) the secret burst in the air! Secondly, well do UMNO look desperate try to seek PAS help in confronting Anwar's agenda? UMNO was quite 'comfortable' before without wanting at all to discuss or set a meeting with PAS (at least not during Mahathir's time). Thirdly, what would be both coalition parties member said? Be it from Barisan Nasional (UMNO, MCA, MIC and others) or Pakatan Rakyat (PKR, DAP and PAS) I seriously think somehow such propose 3rd meeting will cast doubt among them. Today we heard DAP start making 'unsatisfactory' statement in local media asking Pakatan Rakyat to review PAS membership. I am not surprise. On the other hand, we see BN component leaders are trying to give nod for the meeting, why? Simple, the reason is the meeting will (if successful) strengthen UMNO being the largest member of BN and as for other BN members it will benefit BN. Yes, I doubt the BN party component will agree on PAS idealism but as for now the unity of Malay is much more important.

Now, what will Anwar's next move? Just wait and see. My wild guest is PKR will make sure PAS does not fall into 'UMNO-PAS Corporation'. Remember my last comment on the political scenario in Malaysia benefiting PKR? This time PKR might want to be careful because their golden opportunity is quickly passing by.

Small Claim Court: Do-It-Yourself (DIY)

-
Salam, Last post I have explained on how simple it would be to claim ' dishonored ' cheque from the drawer in court. And now, in this post I am going to show you another simple claim that everybody can do by themselves. It is normally called 'Small Claim Procedure'. So make it easier to understand, let me put it in point form. What is 'small claim procedure'? Small Claim Procedure is where an individual (not agent or company or person holding power attorney or etc) wants to claim from someone else (debt) using court procedure, i.e. suing in court of law. The total amount of claim must not exceeding RM5, 000-00 The claim must be made through summons in Magistrate Court No lawyer can get involve in this small claim proceeding … (that's bad for me…hehehe), everything is done by the plaintiff himself (person who is suing) with the guidance of court (staff). To illustrate, if B owes A RM 5, 000-00 and B refuses to pay, A can sue B in Magistrate court under this

Salam, I have one assignment yesterday regarding one poor chap's car repossessed by his financier. His case is straight forward but one that typical type of problem, the brief is simple:- This guy has a car which is still under hire purchase He defaulted for more than 3 months which gave the bank rights to repossess his car under the Hire Purchase Act, and the bank did. The car was kept at one store somewhere in Penang for 2 months pending auction. He however managed to settle his overdue installments (after getting some soft loan from friends) and wanted to bring out his car. Too bad, somehow when he tried to get back his car from the store, he noticed that some (quite substantial) 'things' and parts of his car is no longer intact. He did a complaint to his bank and then lodged a police report. The police due some reasons (God knows why) asked his just to refer back to the bank and had done nothing till date, in fact he was advised by the police to settle the matter direc
