Speaker gets it right, left and centre for halting Hadi’s bill debate
Pakatan Harapan politicians flay Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin for preventing debate on the bill, accusing him of following directives from the BN government.
PETALING JAYA: Pakatan Harapan leaders today continued to berate Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia for preventing the debate on a bill to widen the shariah courts’ powers.
In a statement, Amanah deputy president Salahuddin Ayub asked where else the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, better know as Act 355, could be debated if not at the Dewan Rakyat.
“It doesn’t matter whether the issue revolves around a protected animal or religion, but ample time must be given, and the speaker must exercise fairness and wisdom in managing the House.”
Yesterday, pandemonium erupted in the Dewan Rakyat when Pandikar abruptly called a halt to the debate on PAS’ bill to amend Act 355.
“If you have power, you are powerful; if you don’t use your power, you are bloody fool.
“Today, I don’t want to be a bloody fool,” Pandikar was reported as saying, before announcing a stop to the debate.
This followed a one-and-a-half hour speech by Takiyuddin Hassan, in which the PAS secretary-general explained his reasons for tabling the bill.
In his statement, Salahuddin said yesterday’s events proved that the Act 355 issue was just a spectacle.
He added that the fiasco only served to insult the bill, which was pushing to elevate the status of the shariah court.
“I’m sorry Mr Speaker, but you were directed to use your powers to stop the debate. You were told to exercise your powers without using any consideration, and this makes you a ‘bloody fool’.”

The Malaysian ministers’ guide to coping with rising costs
KUALA LUMPUR — Rising cost of living was a topic painfully at the forefront for most Malaysians throughout 2015, with many left — as minister Khairy Jamaluddin put it — at their breaking point.
Over the year, Malaysians were hammered by the Goods and Services Tax (GST), continued subsidy withdrawals, price increases and a ringgit whose value fell at breakneck speeds unseen since the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997.
Malaysians struggling to mitigate skyrocketing costs were fortunate, however, to have government leaders who were ever ready to volunteer nuggets of their wisdom.
Here are some that Malay Mail Online were able to compile.
1. Grow your own vegetables — Ismail Sabri Yaakob
Then agriculture and agro-based Industry Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in June that Malaysians should follow the trend of urban farming and grow their own vegetables as a means to alleviate the pressures of the rising costs.
He said Malaysians could grow their own greens in virtually any available space, from small gardens to even balconies of their flats.

2. Wake up early to avoid tolled roads — Abdul Rahman Dahlan
Tolls on intercity highways in the Klang Valley were increased between 20 sen and RM3 in October, leaving motorists fuming.
But Housing and Local Government Minister Abdul Rahman Dahlan had a simple solution for mitigating the increase, even avoiding tolls altogether: rise a little earlier each day.

3. Home-cooked, GST-free recipes — Ahmad Maslan
Weeks after the implementation of the GST this April, then Deputy Finance Minister Ahmad Maslan told university students who were struggling with rising cost of living to cook their own meals instead.
In case that was not enough, Ahmad later went on to provide his own recipe for a home-cooked meal that was deliciously free of GST.

4. Avoid eating chicken if it’s too expensive — Hasan Malek
While many are content to just complain about rising prices, Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Hasan Malek took pains to remind the public that they have the power to choose not to be affected.
In 2013, Hasan gave Malaysians grousing over the increase of poultry prices an obvious solution: stop eating chicken.

5. Don’t buy a house if it’s too expensive — Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor
…
Rather than complaining about rising home prices, Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said Malaysians should not purchase them and seek out “affordable options”.
“If the houses developers are selling is expensive, then don’t buy,” he was quoted as saying by news portal The Malaysian Insider on Sept 9, 2013.
6. Get two jobs to make ends meet — Ahmad Maslan
Last but not least, if none of the preceding tips were enough to help Malaysians save enough to pay all their bills, Ahmad Maslan suggested that the ultimate solution of making more money.
The deputy minister of international trade and industry was reported as suggesting Malaysians take up secondary employment to help them deal with rising costs.
To demonstrate the viability of his suggestion, Mr Ahmad told the public that he even did three jobs — deputy minister, UMNO Information chief and Pontian MP — instead of just two as he suggested. MALAYMAIL ONLINE
