| GE13: DAP's Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong to contest in Johor Posted: 30 Mar 2013 09:16 AM PDT GEORGE TOWN: DAP's Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong will be contesting the Kluang parliamentary seat in Johor in the 13th general election, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng announced Saturday. Speculation that Liew would be moving southwards rose after the DAP national convention here last December, when he began notifying aides of his plans. The Klang Valley-born politician, who is a first-term parliamentarian, joins DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang, who is slated to contest in Johor's Gelang Patah parliamentary seat. Liew is expected to lock horns with the incumbent, Hou Kok Chung from the MCA. Related Stories: |
| Wanita MCA sec-gen Chew hospitalised after stroke Posted: 30 Mar 2013 06:56 AM PDT PETALING JAYA: Wanita MCA secretary-general Senator Chew Lee Giok has been hospitalised after suffering a stroke. Her husband Michael Yeap said Chew, 46, was admitted to the Serdang hospital Friday afternoon after she showed signs of having a stroke. "She was not feeling well and some friends came to visit her. We noticed that not only were her hands cold but she was breaking out in cold sweat. "I got my son to check her blood pressure and it turned out to be abnormally low. We then sent her to the hospital," Yeap said when contacted Saturday. He said Chew, who is also Selangor Wanita MCA chairman, will have to stay in the hospital for a few days. Yeap, a management consultant, said his wife was a healthy person and never had a stroke before this. "She is not a diabetic nor does she have high blood pressure. In fact, I'm the one who is more at risk to stroke compared to her," he said. Wanita MCA vice-chairman Datuk Heng Seai Kie said party wing members will offer their moral support to Chew so that she will be able to overcome this. "We will pray for her speedy recovery," she said, adding that she planned to visit Chew at the hospital soon. |
| Lahad Datu: Sabah CPO - No halt to Ops Daulat until Sulu terrorists are flushed out Posted: 30 Mar 2013 05:25 AM PDT LAHAD DATU: Ops Daulat will not end until security forces are certain all the Sulu terrorists have been flushed out from areas where they are still holed up, said Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib. He said the security forces have not set a time limit when operations would cease because the fight against the terrorists had spread as far as Semporna and Sandakan, apart from Lahad Datu. "It (the halt) depends on the security situation in the targeted areas and the operations involved," he told a news conference at Felda Sahabat near here Saturday. Since Ops Daulat was launched 26 days ago, security forces have killed 68 Sulu terrorists, and arrested 443 individuals for various offences and 121 more under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma). Hamza said the body of a terrorist killed on March 6 was retrieved from a battle scene in Kampung Tanjung Batu, Lahad Datu in the morning to bring the total number of bodies recovered so far to 46. - Bernama Related Stories: |
