Press Statement
17 September 2010

Parti Keadilan Rakyat is proud to announce (not an endorsement) that the party's ongoing direct election has created opportunities for many young women to participate and be elected at various leadership positions at an unprecedented level.

The party's constitution allows any women member to stand for election at any level including the youth wing, women's wing and at the central level. This is a stark contrast with the limited opportunities for women at other parties as most would be limited to the women's wing.

The election will also test the party's commitment to providing at least 30% of women's participation at all decision making level of the party.

This ongoing process to mainstream women's participation within the party has also seen several young women heading divisions.

The following non exhaustive list of names are examples of young, upcoming women leaders who have taken this important decision to offer their candidacy for nomination in the election for various positions:-

Ekonomi Malaysia Terus Merudum Ke Tahap Kritikal

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 05:30 AM PDT

Dari Malaysia Waves

Laporan terbaru menunjukkan Malaysia telah menjadi negara paling tidak menarik bagi pelaburan. Ini berdasarkan laporan terbaru Bank of America-Merill Lynch yang menyatakan Malaysia adalah pasaran yang paling tidak

menarik bagi pelaburan.

Laporan terbaru ini mengingatkan saya kenyataan seorang rakan saya dari Singapura. Beliau berkata ekonomi Malaysia sedang menurun ke tahap FIlipina. Dengan kata lain, selepas ini rakan bersaing MAlaysia hanyalah negara-negara seperti Burma, Laos dan Timur Leste. Malahan, Filipina akan

mempunyai ekonomi yang lebih maju dari MAlaysia.

Malahan, sejak akhir-akhir ini kadar FDI yang masuk ke Filipina lebih tinggi dari MAlaysia. Tanpa FDI, bagaimana ekonomi MAlaysia hendak membangun?

Saya tidak terkejut sekiranya ekonomi Malaysia merudum ke tahap di bawah FIlipina. Bagaimanakah MAlaysia mampu naik taraf dari segi ekonomi sekiranya wang MAS sebanyak RM600 juta boleh lenyap sebegitu mudah sekali tanpa sesiapa pun mengetahui kemana wang tersebut telah lesap.

Maknanya, hanya pelabur yang kurang siuman sahaja yang akan melabur di Malasia selepas apa yang telah berlaku kepada MAS. RM600 juta boleh lesap begitu sahaja.

Terimalah penangan pemerintahan Barisan Nasional.

Investors shun Malaysia for neighbours
By Yow Hong Chieh

Najib's bid for private investment to drive Malaysia's economy has been hampered by resistance to his planned reforms. — file pic
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 16 — Malaysia is now the "least favoured market" in Asia Pacific for investors after nearly doubling its underweight rating from last month, according to a recent Bank of America Merrill Lynch report.

The country slipped two spots — from 10th place to dead last — in the investment bank's latest Fund Managers Survey, even as the Najib administration prepares to unveil ambitious economic reforms meant to boost investor confidence.

The report appears to be the latest indictment of Malaysia's inability to compete with rival regional markets. In the past decade, the once roaring Asian Tiger has seen its dominant position as an investment destination in Southeast Asia crumble even as neighbouring countries push to the fore.

A survey last week by the World Economic Forum (WEF) of 139 nations showed that Malaysia had slipped two places in global competitiveness rankings to 26th in the past year, while Indonesia surged 10 places to 44th.

The government is nonetheless optimistic that reforms under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's New Economic Model (NEM) — details of which will be revealed next month — will revitalise the economy and help Malaysia achieve developed nation status by 2020.

However, Najib's economic transformation is hinged on the government's ability to galvanise RM2.2 trillion in investments over the next 10 years — 92 per cent of which is to come from the private sector — and it remains to be seen if the prime minister can overcome investors' muted response to his plans so far.

Najib also faces stiff opposition from Malay rights groups who feel such reforms threaten what they perceive to be Malay "special rights", and seems unable to push them through without significant compromise.

Elsewhere in the region, China remained the favourite market by far despite an uncertain global outlook. A net 11 per cent of investors expect China's economy to strengthen, up from -39 per cent in July, according to Merrill Lynch.

Indonesia, slightly underweight last month, jumped to second place on an overweight call, edging out Hong Kong in the process. New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea and India remained neutral.

Emerging markets outperformed developed markets this year and remain the preferred destination for investors, although emerging market allocations have been trimmed due to growth uncertainty and risk aversion.

Brazil and Russia continue to be favourites, but appetite for Turkey has fallen in the past two months.

The consumer discretionary sector is still the most popular among emerging market investors, followed by industrials, telecoms and financials.

Defensive sectors like utilities, staples and healthcare remain least favoured but have reduced their underweight positions from last month.

Institusi Kehakiman Ghairah Bantu Eksekutif

Posted: 17 Sep 2010 05:02 AM PDT

Dari TV Selangor

Sebuah ucapan mengenai "kesihatan" badan perundangan negara oleh seorang bekas Hakim Mahkamah Persekutuan semalam gagal mendapat ruang dalam media arus perdana hari ini , mungkin untuk menutup mulut tokoh  berkenaan.

Namun ucapan Gopal Sri Ram menzahirkan sentimen umum rakyat Malaysia, iaitu badan kehakiman di Malaysia semakin condong mempertahankan kepentingan kerajaan dan bukannya menegakkan keadilan.

Bagi seorang hakim yang baru bersara Febuari lalu, Sri Ram agak berani untuk tampil di sebuah forum awam mengenai integrasi nasional bagi menyatakan pandangan beliau.

Tentunya beliau terikat dengan kerenah birokasi dan tata tertib untuk tidak menyatakan pendiriannya itu ketika masih menjadi Hakim. Namun "kelewatan" itu tidak harus menghakis kepentingnan apa yang diluahkan ole

h hakim berkenaan berasaskan pengamatan dan pemerhatian beliau.

Sri Ram berkata badan kehakiman kini bertindak seolah-olah mereka di bawah telunjuk kerajaan.

"Badan Kehakiman kelihatan ghairah untuk membantu eksekutif….dan apab

ila anda sanggup melenturkan undang-undang untk membantu Eksekutif , ia akan mengakibatkan keputusan-keputusan yang tidak masuk akal," kata Sri Ram.

Beliau seterusnya memberikan beberapa contoh keputusan mahkamah diubah menerusi Mahkamah Persekutuan supaya disesuaikan dengan kepentingan kerajaan persekutuan.

Sejak tahun lalu, beberapa pakar undang-undang dan bekas hakim mempersoalkan keghairahan Mahkamah Rayuan dan Mahkamah Persekutuan

mengubah keputusan membabitkan kes bersabit rampasan kuasa di Perak dan perbicaraan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim atas tuduhan liwat yang lebih menjurus kepada konspirasi politik.

Sri Ram menegaskan bahawa badan kehakiman bertanggungjawab

mempertahankan Perlembagaan Negara dan kepentingan minoriti di Negara ini.

Sri Ram adalah peguam yang julung kali dilantik untuk terus menjadi Hakim Mahkamah Rayuan hampir 16 tahun lalu.

Tetapi oleh kerana ketegasannya untuk tidak bertolak ansur, beliau dikatakan tidak dipilih menjadi Hakim Mahkamah Persekutuan sehingga tahun lalu, beberapa bulan sebelum bersara.
