Congratulations to the new Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan

Congratulations to DYMM Tuanku Mukhriz Tuanku Munawir, who was installed as the 11th Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negri Sembilan yesterday. Also to Tuanku Aishah and Tunku Ali Redhauddin.

Thanks to the event, driving from Seremban to Kuala Pilah was a breeze as the new road, bypassing Bukit Putus, was opened 'temporarily'. Let's hope that the new road will be permanently opened soon - for the benefit of the rakyat. Remember the slogan '1Malaysia, Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan'.

Eid ul Fitri

Wishing all muslims a meaningful Eid ul Fitri and may all of us get to enjoy the blessed month of Ramadhan again next year!

For those travelling, do drive carefully and be considerate to others. Just remember that all of us want to spend the holidays with family and loved ones.

'Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin'

Please don't use mobile phone while driving

Someone forwarded me the link to this video - a very good reminder to not use the mobile phone while driving!

This is especially important with the upcoming 'balik kampung' during Hari Raya. Better be safe than sorry.

Malaysia 6th Prime Minister

Congratulations to Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak who was sworn in as Malaysia's 6th Prime Minister this morning. I wish him all the best and may he has the strength and wisdom to take Malaysia to greater heights.

And, finally I am able to remove 'Berundurlah' poster on the top right hand side of this blog. I would also like to wish Pak Lah all the best and may he be able to 'sleep' soundly during his retirement.

Choose wisely

Dear UMNO delegates, please choose your new leaders wisely as you are carrying the responsibility given by members of your Bahagian!

Update 30/03/2009: I would say that UMNO delegates have made acceptable choices for most of the party top leaders, except a few of the Supreme Council members. And sad to note that 304 UMNO Youth delegates still voted for the new UMNO Youth chief although UMNO Discliplinary Board found him guilty under 'Perkara 10.1 Perlembagaan UMNO'.

The calling… More please!

The call for our elected representatives to serve their constituents to the best of their ability, i.e. by resigning (here & here) has finally reached the ears of those ‘responsible’ MPs and ADUNs (here & here). My hope is that more of our ‘beloved’ and ‘respected’ YBs will follow suit.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Wishing all Malaysians a Happy Chinese New Year! May the year of the ox bring joy to each and everyone of us. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
