Many of you have been around since I first started blogging in middle 2006, when Jeff Ooi was still just a big name in blogosphere and RPK wasn't really swinging yet, and Big Dog and OutSyed The Box had not decided to start their blogs, and Zorro was a masked man and Haris Ibrahim a full-time lawyer. I really don't know how you guys do it but I greatly appreciate it. And since it's obvious that you guys are going to stick around, at least until the 13th General Election, I guess it's not time for me to go yet ...  | ||||||
| Khalid Ibrahim's biggest sin after the water fiasco Posted: 03 Oct 2012 09:33 PM PDT Foundation for the poor vs Selangor MB. One of the reasons why Selangor became the most developed state in Malaysia is the existence of bodies like Yayasan Basmi Kemiskinan. This anti-poverty foundation has always been headed by a citizen instead of the State. but in early 2010, Khalid Ibrahim, the first ""Opposition" Chief Minister for Selangor, wanted that to change. He demanded that YBK come directly under him. The YBK resisted this "hostile takeover" attempt and the case went to court in 2010.
The Malay Mail [which was still The Paper That Cares then] did not blink an eye in championing the issue. The case came to a close this week as Shah Alam Court orders State to return land to YBK. As a result of Khalid's bossy desire, the poor folks in Serendah, a sleepy hollow in Hulu Selangor, lost the opportunity to have a university branch for an estimated 5,000 students which the YBK was supposed to build in their area. Melaka Chief Minister Ali Rustam came to the rescue and offered to build that campus in Jasin, Melaka. In another country but Malaysia, the chief minister would have to quit over this verdict.
