| PM: Govt has created new wealth and new jobs Posted: 29 Aug 2011 06:03 AM PDT PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the government had come out with measures to create new wealth, continued economic growth and created highly skilled jobs for the country over the past two years. "What we dream of is a prosperous and peaceful country in which the individuals are willing to work hard, improve skills and are committed to using every opportunity wisely to shape a continuously happy life for our future descendants," he said on Monday in his Hari Raya message. Najib said economic giants like the United States and several European Union member countries termed as developed countries were struggling with serious financial crisis, which required rescue or "bailout." "But Malaysia proceeds with prudent and efficient management and its economy has not only grown but has created new jobs. "It has also been able to give half-month bonus to 1.4 million civil servants totaling RM2 bil for the Hari Raya and Independence Day celebrations," he said. More in The Star on Tuesday |

| Cops to probe Mat Sabu’s alleged statement discrediting security forces Posted: 29 Aug 2011 04:45 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: The police have opened an investigation into an alleged statement made by PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu discrediting the security forces, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said Monday. He said the probe was to be conducted under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code on the making, publishing or circulating of any statement, rumour or report with the intention of causing fear or alarm to the public. "We have received up to 49 reports on the matter so far. The (alleged) statement has alarmed the public. It has hurt members of the nation's security forces and the families of the victims of the Bukit Kepong tragedy," he told reporters after a visit to the Ops Sikap canopy at Jalan Sungai Buloh. Mohamad Sabu was alleged to have said at a "ceramah" (talk) in Tasek Gelugor, Penang, on Aug 21 that the communist terrorists who attacked and killed 25 police personnel and their families in the Bukit Kepong tragedy in February 1950 were the real heroes because they were fighting against the British. Mohamad Sabu was quoted as saying in the official PAS organ on Sunday that he was trying to retrieve a taped recording of his speech before taking any action over what he said could be a misinterpretation of his statement.
