The events in South Korea remind us that we need to restore the constitutional provision requiring Parliament to be summoned when a State of Emergency is declared, and terminating the Emergency unless approved by both Houses of Parliament.

Do you think that the voters in Sabah & Sarawak (17% of the population) should have 33.3% of the seats in the Dewan Rakyat?

That means 1 vote in S&S would be worth 2 votes in Malaya 🤡 🤡 🤡

[James Chin @jameschin110]

If you've been following me, you'll know that I've been warning about Malayan NGOs working surreptitiously to prevent Sabah and Sarawak from receiving one-third of the seats in Malaysian Parliament. They also collaborate with NGOs in Sabah and Sarawak, although it is unfortunate that these NGOs are ignorant and are being exploited by Malayan NGOs because they give funding.
These NGOs argue that Sabah and Sarawak should receive one-third of the Senate seats rather than the Dewan Rakyat. This is ridiculous because the Senate has no legitimacy in the Malaysian system. I'll explain in detail later why acquiring extra Senate seats is a ruse to deceive Sabah and Sarawak.
Read what the NGO recommends below. They are led by some of Malaya's most famous NGO figures. Do not be misled by these individuals. They do not share the interests of Sabahans or Sarawakians. They merely want to utilize us to achieve their goals. Please assist me in viralizing this post.

@jameschin110 If you are going for deliberate malapportionment, why stop ⅓? Might as well ask for ⅓ for Sabah and ⅓ for Sarawak lol. Equal partners!

[Andrew Yong @drewYong]

@chinhuatw If we are going for deliberate malapportionment, why stop at 35%? Might as well as for 33% seats for Sabah and 33% for Sarawak lol. Equal partners ma.

[Andrew Yong @drewYong]

Say no to malapportionment.

The Dewan Rakyat is for representing the Rakyat of Malaysia on an equal basis, not for stuffing with politicians from Sabah & Sarawak so that they can play “kingmaker” every election.

How a mistake in 1956 cost the govt 263ac of prime land.

It boils down to a precedent how the Govt had flouted public inquiry requirement in the Semantan land acquisition.

@S_Y_New “Mengaku” can mean admit, but it can also mean to claim to be something: eg, mengaku pandai, mengaku Tan Sri, mengaku tidak bersalah.

This is a case for strategic litigation. Non-Malays should try and apply to enter this racist so called higher institution and if rejected, find lawyer and challenged it. We will assist you and it will be pro bono.

You have no say in the matter because you are not even a party to the Rome Statute of the ICC.

🇮🇱🇺🇸 BIDEN: "We reject the ICC's application of arrest warrants against Israeli leaders — what's happening is not genocide."

[Eric Paulsen @EricPaulsen101]

Kudos to Karim Khan for standing up to the West.

If the international rules-based order is to survive, the ICC must be allowed to work independently & impartially. Friends or foes, without fear or favour, all are subject to the law.

The Gothic architecture of Kuching's new St Peter's Catholic Church will be a prominent tourist attraction once completed. For the previous half-century, I am unaware of any comparable project in Sarawak or Sabah. I was recently given a private tour; it is 80% complete, and the stained glasses are stunning. It was created on-site by two Italian craftsmen.
Another surprising aspect is that they constructed the church without raising the entire cost. They are still collecting donations from the public to complete the project. Congratulations to Fr Vincent, the man behind the entire endeavour.
If you are ever in Kuching next year, I would recommend a visit.

@lainie Barbaric. In Penang, even unlicensed strays are neutered and released.

Exactly. And thats why every law reform cannot be rushed.

Good Qs from @drewYong :

How many of these 3.5 million foreigners have PR?

(In 2013, there were only 295,601 red IC holders.)

Of the 233,980 “lain-lain” (“others”), how many are Orang Asli & natives of Sabah and Sarawak?

(Resharing stats on PRs/red IC holders with #AltText .)

Dear @saifnasution how many of these 3.5 million foreigners have PR?

[Eric Paulsen @EricPaulsen101]

The Minister is misleading Parliament. Surely the 3.5 million foreigners are not PRs but migrant workers with various residence permits.

You are avoiding the real issue of Msians who still hold PRs like Orang Asli, Asal, generations of Chinese, Indians etc born & living here.

Kewarganegaraan adalah hak asasi. Tanpanya, anak-anak menghadapi dinding kesukaran dalam akses kepada pendidikan, kesihatan, dan pekerjaan yang sah. Mereka juga terhalang dari hak asas seperti perkahwinan dan memulakan keluarga.
