| Hisham's League of Ordinary People against Crime Posted: 22 Jul 2012 11:45 PM PDT I've got quite a few mails and smses complaining about Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein's intent on roping in expat Shamelin, the father of kidnapped Dutch boy Nayati, to help KDN to fight crime. I don't think the dude can do much but, hey, every help counts. If he's volunteering his service, who are we to question him or Hisham's good intent? The Minsiter has made it clear [read here] that it's not an exclusive invitation to Shamelin. "Anyone who feels they can contribute is welcomed." So what are you waiting for, an invitation card?
Two or three weeks ago, I was told by a journalist that several NGOs were reviewing the Nur Alert. One of their suggestions was to place the child abduction alert system under the Home Ministry. As fate would have it, I bumped into one of the NGO reps [who wishes not to be identified] at Bangsar Shopping Centre and she told me about the idea. Then last week, Jalan Sudin and I (we were both on the Nurin Alert effort) were invited to meet up with reps from these NGOs, along with several individuals who have started Facebook campaigns to fight crime, to talk about what we could do to help. Deja vu. But back then we were on our own. This time around, there's a Minister who's willing to take the initiative to get the concerned ordinary people and fight this together. That's hope ...  | ||
| Is Nurul Izzah working for Amcop now? Posted: 22 Jul 2012 10:48 PM PDT Serving the people. The other day, I went into the Malaysiakini CEO's twitter to give my unsolicited two sen's worth about why the disputing MPs of Pakatan Rakyat should just focus on serving the people instead of worrying about winning the (general) election. I am a believer that if an elected rep works hard for the Rakyat, he or she will most likely be re-elected ...  But it is so easy to get carried away once politics has consumed you ,,,  After reading Big Dog's posting Someone should tell Nurul Izzah Ramadan is the month of repentance, I went onto Twitter and asked of the Lembah Pantai MP's real interest in the air traffic system deal. "Is Amcop using her or is she using Amcop?" From a layman's point of view, I don't see how or why the contest (or dispute?) between two corporations (Amcop vs AAT?) should concern YB Nurul, especially since "the Malaysian ATC system has shown no 'air misses' the past 17 years". Is she kicking a fuss because the son of her daddy's rival works and holds shares in AAT (the company that won the deal) or does she have an interest - direct or indirect - in Amcop? Either way, it is interesting to note that AAT's bid for the project is considerably lower than Amcop's! As a journalist, it amuses me that while its report Winner of KLIA air traffic system bid not up to standards heavily quotes Nurul Izzah on Amcop and AAT, Premesh's Malaysiakini carries a Editor's note at the end of the article to say that "Malaysiakini has contacted AAT for comment on the latest allegation and is waiting for a response". Who are the people behind Amcop? Shouldn't Malaysiakini be equally interested in Amcop's response, too? I am. p.s. Big Dog seems to think that there is a connection between a consultant of the deal from Aecom with Amcop, the Department of Civil Aviation. Read his posting again h e r e.  |
