Stop wasting food, think of the poor, needy and hungry

  Stop wasting food, think of the poor, needy and hungry https://youtu.be/YynJ6CvqgZI   (VIDEO: Feeding time for hungry children) Malaysians waste more than 15,000 tonnes of food daily and that is enough to feed millions of hungry mouths daily. Given the current economic hard times, it is time for the federal government, restaurateurs and hoteliers to seriously consider effective measures to stop the wastage immediately. “They must also consider doing good to mankind by giving away clean leftovers to the poor and hungry,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said the poor and hungry “are really feeling the pinch of a sluggish global economy that is also affecting domestic economic activities and performance”. “Really, why can’t the federal government, restaurateurs and hoteliers show magnanimity to the needy and poor during the current hard economic times? “Why dump food into garbage bins when there are many hungry mouths to feed, including vagr

Gangsters, mob are now the law in Malaysia?

FLASHBACK: The Low Yat Mob Gangsters, mob are now the law in Malaysia? https://youtu.be/w9rNGW-EAvE   (VIDEO: Gangsters, mob are now the law in Malaysia?) The above video clip says it all about what is the law in Malaysia today. And who is to blame for such gangster-like public behaviour? Who has given them the encouragement and confidence to behave as such? “Many Malaysians have plenty of views on such public matters of concern. But what are the authorities, especially the police, doing about it?” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said the video clip was shot at the scene of an accident. “If there is an accident, let the police handle it, right? But no. Gangster-like individuals and mob take over the law at the scene,” he added. Syed Razak said whether the car driver was drunk or not, “it is for the police to investigate and act accordingly within the law”. “Definitely not the mob way of the ‘gangster’ and his cohorts. The police must, ther

How is China conquering the world? Learn from them fast!

China’s Science Revolution - BBC   How is China conquering the world? Learn from them fast! It looks like China today is conquering the world in both economic and technological innovation. In so doing, it is now acknowledged as a world power and China has achieved global status in just four decades or so. “Their global achievements are nothing short of amazing. From a poverty-stricken country, China is now set to overtake the US as the world’s No.1 economy,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said China and its people had achieved international success in various science and economic fields solely because “they are a hard working civilisation who are also equally very practical”. “Quality education and excellence are what they strive for in life. They also recognise and treasure talent that cannot be replaced by any other consideration,” he added. Syed Razak said Malaysia was far more wealthy and superior in infrastructure than China when it ga

Stop blabbering, get down to work, what’s there to be proud of Proton?

Stop blabbering, get down to work, what’s there to be proud of Proton? It looks like it is still business as usual at Proton led by DRB-Hicom Bhd group managing director Syed Faisal Albar. Instead of getting down to work to clean up its own house, Syed Faisal continues to  syiok sendiri  (self glorifying), blabbering away that “Proton is still a national brand” despite the selling of a 49.9% stake of Proton Holdings Bhd to a China-based company. “Really, what is Syed Faisal so proud of? From a 100% Malaysian-owned outfit, Proton is now set (pending the inking of the sale) to become a joint-venture (JV) with China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. “What Malaysian national brand is Syed Faisal blabbering about?  Jangan syiok sendiri ,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said it would do well for Syed Faisal to remain humble and “get down to work to help clean up the Proton house to save the JV”. Read these two previous postings for context:  http://buki

Sale of Proton a blessing in disguise

Sale of Proton a blessing in disguise https://youtu.be/x46BjIngtMk   (VIDEO) The sale of Proton to China’s Geely is not only timely, it is also a blessing in disguise. The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)-powered cars are set to become obsolete, meaning it is a sunset industry. A US report from a Stanford economist even boldly claimed that petrol cars are set to vanish in eight years! “So, the sale of Proton to Geely, China’s automaker, is not only wise and cutting losses, the current federal government is also thinking out of the box to save Proton from total loss,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said, after 34 years since the birth of Proton, it was crystal clear that Proton cannot survive in the hugely competitive global car industry. (Read this for context:  http://bukitlanjan.blogspot.my/2017/05/bukit-lanjan-yes-end-bailouts-for-proton.html ) “Proton just don’t have the technology and economies of scale to survive. Proton not only need

Yes, end bailouts for Proton

Yes, end bailouts for Proton Proton was founded in 1983 as Malaysia’s maiden national car company in 1983 under the Dr Mahathir Mohamed federal government era. Its monopoly as a local car manufacturer was challenged when Perodua was established in 1993. Proton’s automobile market share then started to slide until today for many reasons, foremost of which are its inability to innovate its technology and to improve product quality. “Today, consumer confidence in Proton cars is at its lowest ever, if not rock bottom,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. After 34 years, and that’s a very, very long time, Syed Razak said the federal government “is selling off Proton”. “Malaysians just don’t have the business acumen and innovative technology to succeed in an extremely competitive global automobile industry. “For some reason or other, Malaysians don’t seem to be able to compete in the car industry,” he added. Syed Razak said Malaysians should welcome the

Crime prevention and education programmes in Malaysia now need to cover cyber crime

Crime prevention and education programmes in Malaysia now need to cover cyber crime Fraud cases in cyberspace ballooned by 20% in Malaysia last year compared with 2015. Besides fraud, the top cyber crime were intrusion, spam and malicious code. “It looks like Malaysians are using their cyber innovative minds for all the wrong reasons,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said the rising cyber crime rate means the traditional and conservative crime prevention and education programmes and campaigns need a total overhaul. “Both state and federal governments must now take proactive measures to gather various professionals to brainstorm and come up with new strategies in anti-crime and education efforts that cover cyberspace,” he added. Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Elecion (GE14), said the previous community crime prevention and education programmes and efforts “are obviously no more e

It’s now unsafe to eat out, too many fake foods being exposed globally https://youtu.be/4wdsyH1cnjA   (VIDEO: Buns with fake stuffing) https://youtu.be/3zolK56sBMU   (VIDEO: Fake plain buns/cup cakes) Fake foods have been exposed globally, especially in China, recently. Suffice to say, it is now absolutely very risky to eat out as you may unknowingly be consuming fake food and thus jeopardise your or your children’s health.  (View the above two attached video clips) Even the simple plain bun/cup cake or bun with stuffing can be served or sold as fakes. “In this modern world of science and technology, the unscrupulous businessmen or entrepreneurs can now resort to making or manufacturing fake foods to reap insane profits,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said. He said the federal government, as a caring and responsible government, must take the lead and act even before such fake foods hit the domestic market, if it had not yet. “They say prevention i
