Where did RM15mil for publicity go to, MCA asks Selangor govt Posted: 18 Jun 2011 05:06 AM PDT KLANG: The Selangor state government spent RM15mil on propaganda and publicity, an amount higher than the RM1.8mil spent by the Tourism Ministry for social media advertising, said Selangor MCA. Its publicity chief Dr Kow Cheong Wei said the state government must explain in detail where the money had gone to. He said the RM15mil allocation was approved in Budget 2010 to spend on publicity and to promote the state government. "In July 26 last year, Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim had announced that the Selangor government had set aside RM15mil to counter Barisan Nasional and that the amount would be used to establish Selangor's own radio station. "However, to date these programmes are yet to be seen," said Dr Kow in a statement. Dr Kow, who is Selangor MCA Youth chief, said Pakatan Rakyat was using the people's money for its own gain. "DAP conveniently criticises the Tourism Ministry for spending RM1.8mil for social media advertising, but they themselves use up to 10 times the amount spent just to let the people know who their Mentri Besar is.

Bersih rally meant to topple government, says DPM Posted: 18 Jun 2011 04:59 AM PDT Published: Saturday June 18, 2011 MYT 7:58:00 PM Updated: Saturday June 18, 2011 MYT 7:59:24 PM BEAUFORT: The opposition is hiding behind Bersih with a plot to topple the government through organising a rally, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. He said the opposition's agenda was to create a momentum among the people to hate the government by raising various issues beyond the call for clean and fair elections. "They are trying to use street demonstrations against the government to achieve their road to Putrajaya,'' Muhyiddin told reporters after opening the annual meeting of Beaufort Umno. Muhyiddin said that if the elections had not been free and fair, how could the opposition win so many parliamentary seats and four state governments in 2008. "If it is not free and fair, how could they make electoral gains. If they win they keep quiet and if they lose they claim unfairness, why the double standards. I think their motive is a short cut to Putrajaya," he said. More in Sunday Star>.

Endorsement from Dr M the proudest moment, says Air Asia chief Posted: 18 Jun 2011 04:24 AM PDT PUTRAJAYA: AirAsia received all the publicity and endorsement for its phenomenal growth in over a decade from none other than Malaysia's visionary leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The former prime minister had suggested that AirAsia fly to African countries, saying that the world's fastest growing low-cost carrier was capable of boosting travel and trade between Kuala Lumpur and the continent. He said this in his keynote address at the Malaysia-Africa Business Forum here Saturday in the run-up to the three-day Langkawi International Dialogue 2011. "Tun Dr Mahathir is the father of modern Malaysia and he has been one of Malaysia's greatest visionary leaders. He gave me, Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, Datuk Aziz Bakar and Datuk Pahamin Rejab the chance to start AirAsia. "To hear him say such great things about us, I've to say that it's one of my and AirAsia staff proudest days," said AirAsia group chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes. Kamarudin described Dr Mahathir's remarks as an honour and an endorsement of what the company had built throughout the years. "It was a pleasant surprise and honour to the whole group," he said. Dr Mahathir, who initiated the LID, told the business forum participants that AirAsia was the better bet in enhancing connectivity between Malaysia and Africa. Dr Mahathir also highlighted the role of low-cost hotels in revving up tourism and business activities. Since 2001, AirAsia has swiftly broken travel norms around the globe and has risen to become the world's best. It has three associate companies, namely, AirAsia X, Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia. - Bernama. Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.
