  Fierce drive to take lead in electric car and automated driving technologies These days, it’s difficult and confusing to keep up with international news agency reports on the global automobile industry and automated driving technology developments. They are pumping up news coverage on the industry due to the fierce competition by car manufacturers to be the first to viably mass produce electric and automated driving vehicles. “Today they report this, and tomorrow they report that. Who is really on the lead in the evolution and transformation of the global car industry?” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. “It’s a good confusion and competition because consumers are guaranteed to get the best out of this,” he added. Syed Razak said: “Malaysians are really left in the dark in the motoring future in their country. “The Proton-Geely joint-venture (JV) is not telling or revealing much about their direction and plans. “The federal government is als...

Pulse Of Bukit Lanjan  hopes that it is the beginning of better times to come for house buyers in every segment of the property market, both new and old “It shows Malaysian house buyers can win the ‘battle’ with property developers if they refrain from booking or buying over-priced units,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. “It is about time that Malaysian house buyers get the better of property developers … get a better deal from property developers who over price their products to reap humongous profits. “If Malaysians continue with their discipline, show no desperation to buy, property developers will be forced to lower prices of their properties,” he added.

Both state and federal governments want this problem to continue unabated? Baby dumping woes – shame on both state and federal governments! Pulse Of Bukit Lanjan  is absolutely not surprised that baby dumping cases in Malaysia have been rising steadily since 2013. This issue of humanitarian concern was raised twice by this blog last December and March. Read these for context: Ø  https://bukitlanjan.blogspot.my/2017/03/bukit-lanjan-all-to-blame-for-doing.html  (All to blame for doing not enough to stop baby dumping in Malaysia) Ø  https://bukitlanjan.blogspot.my/2016/12/bukit-lanjan-lets-have-baby-hatches-in.html  (Let’s have baby hatches in all hospitals and clinics) “Since then, both state and federal governments have done nothing in response to the urgent need to nip the problem in the bud,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said not only should the federal government allocate more funds to help stem the problem, “it...

Desperate hypocrites   European desperados expose their selfish interests in the global automobile industry The international news agency  Reuters  report titled “Electric car focus risks handing jobs to China, EU auto suppliers warn” shows clearly how selfish and protective the Europeans can get of their interests. In doing so, the Europeans have exposed themselves as hypocrites. Their interests are not for the advancement of the global car technology, environment or for level business playing fields. “Sadly, such ‘educated’ communities now appear to embrace the attitude ‘If we can’t beat them, we sabotage, protest, etc’,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. “That’s exactly what they are doing and saying, as the report suggests. Is it a valid reason for the European car parts manufacturers to call for a halt in electric car technology in Europe. “They are now asking car manufacturers to look at other ways of cutting vehicle emissions suc...

Is this also the common and easy excuse for Malaysia’s mainstream print media's declining influence or is it the easy way to justify lack of innovative news production? ‘THE NAKED TRUTH OF MEDIA IN MALAYSIA’ Multi-Cultural in Malaysia Other countries should not identify Malaysia as the  authoritarian press  of Asia. The development media approach towards its national media, limits the roles and freedom of media. This is for the sake of national stability, security and also to successfully lead the Malaysian towards modernization, development, and economic prosperity. Malaysia is unique because of the challenges of different ethnicities, religions and languages. In fact, the Malaysian government has the choice between information make publicly available or privately kept: either control newspapers, images and ideas that are exposed to societies; allow freedom of debate and criticism but at the expense of harmony or restrict information for the sake of national security.
