May The Force Be With You
IGP keeps mum about 'third force'
KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 - Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan (picture) today declined to explain further his claims that a 'third force' comprising 'politicians or certain individuals' was influencing the police force.
His claims in an interview in Mingguan Malaysia on Sunday prompted Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein to ask the police force to investigate the matter further.
"This press conference is only about Police Day." the IGP told reporters in Bukit Aman today when refusing to speak about the matter.

Ketua Bahagian Saman Akhbar Kerana Mengatakan Dia Orang Miskin ...
SHAH ALAM, March 9 (Bernama) -- The Parit 4 Sekinchan Umno Youth branch chief on Tuesday filed a RM5 million defamation suit against Sinar Harian newspaper for portraying him as living in poverty.
Mohd Yazid Bai, 40, named Sinar Harian publisher Kumpulan Karangkraf Sdn Bhd (Karangkraf) and seven others as defendants for publishing a defamatory article on Nov 20, 2009.
The others are printer Akhbar Cabaran Sdn Bhd, Karangkraf chief executive officer Datuk Hussamuddin Yaacub, group chief editor Abd Jalil Ali, group editor Sri Diah, news editor Azmi Tarmizi, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur bureau editor Lailatun Khalilah Nasir and reporter Nurul Huda Saiyuti.
The writ was filed by counsel Muhd Azmi Talib of Azmi Talib & Associates at the Civil High Court registrar's office here on Tuesday.
Mohd Yazid said the article which appeared in Sinar Harian under the headline "Umno Prihatin Nasib Rakyat Daif" based on a gotong-royong organised by Tanjong Karang Umno Youth was false as he was never interviewed by the reporter.
The article quoted Mohd Yazid as thanking Umno for helping to repair his house and claimed that he was poor and qualified to receive aid.
He is claiming RM5 million as compensation, apology in the front page of the newspaper, RM20,000 legal fees and other costs as the article had caused him emotional stress, loss of income and reputation.

No to Local Council Elections?
Putrajaya not keen to restore third vote
By Adib ZalkapliPUTRAJAYA, March 9 — The Federal government is not interested to restore local council elections as it will not necessarily improve public services, said Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
The Prime Minister was responding to the move by the Selangor and Penang governments to get the Election Commission (EC) to conduct local government elections in the two states.
“We are of the opinion that the local government elections were abolished long time ago, so there is no need to restore it,” said Najib.
Local government elections were first held in 1951 before Merdeka but abolished in 1965 during the Confrontation with Indonesia.
The then Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman promised it would be restored after the situation improved.

The Middle Ground: The brewing storm of GST

"Think of it this way. Everybody knows whatever form of additional taxation is what most sitting governments would avoid unless it is absolutely necessary because of the backlash from the electorate. Did you know that when Canada introduced GST in 1991, the government was brought down at the following general elections in 1993? The political party who introduced GST in Canada eventually disbanded in 2004!"

Dua ketul enjin Sukhoi pulak "kehilangan"?
Two more RMAF jet engines 'lost'
PETALING JAYA: Two more fighter jet engines were "lost" by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) in 2007, apart from the two F5 engines that were stolen from its Sungai Besi air base.
The other two engines "lost" belonged to a newly-delivered Sukhoi Su-30MKM Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA). The aircraft suffered "foreign object damage" (FOD), as it goes in air force lingo, after its engines sucked in stones and other objects as it landed in June 2007.
Sources said the two NPO Saturn AL-31FP engines were scrapped after suffering "catastrophic damage" when the brand-new Sukhoi jet landed on the runway at the Gong Kedak air base in Kelantan.
However, RMAF chief Datuk Seri Rodzali Daud told The Malay Mail at Parliament recently that the engines were not scrapped but sent for repair.
He declined to elaborate, but did say that FOD was a normal occurrence in fighter jet operations. If the engines could be repaired, they would have been sent back to the Russian manufacturer, NPO Saturn.
Although the Sukhoi planes were equipped with titanium mesh doors that swing down over the air intake to protect the engines from FOD, the feature only worked during take-off and slow taxiing, not during landing.
Local defence industry sources who confirmed that the damaged engines were "lost" said it was difficult to estimate the cost of a brand new AL-31FP engine. The Sukhois cost the country RM155 million each and the government purchased 18 Su-30MKM from Russia in May 2003 at a cost of RM3.42 billion.
The Malay Mail learnt that the aircraft in the FOD incident was not grounded for long as the RMAF, as with other air forces, had procured spare engines for its Sukhoi fleet.
The sources said the Sukhoi was one of five fighter jets delivered in batches from May 2007.
These were transported from Russia to the Subang airbase in Antonov An-124 transport planes and re-assembled for trials before being handed over to the RMAF.
It is learnt that the damaged Sukhoi jet was flown by a Sukhoi Design Bureau test crew when the incident occurred, and that RMAF had initially demanded that the Russian company replaces the two engines.
However, Sukhoi refused on grounds that the test crew was only following the orders of RMAF officials to land at the Gong Kedak air base. The runway had been cleared for other RMAF aircraft such as the Hercules C-130 but at that point, the Sukhois had yet to be given the greenlight to land.
The Gong Kedak base had undergone massive re-development to host the new MRCA squadron.
More than RM200 million was spent to re-develop the air base, which now boasts an extended runway and new facilities, including hardened aircraft shelters for the Sukhoi squadron.
Although the incident was a clear violation of RMAF standing orders, no one has been hauled up over the loss of the two engines.
The Sukhoi made its public debut in the country at the 2007 Merdeka Day parade and the jets also took part in the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace show in December that year.
