"“At which point did the assembly begin?”
“If Raja Nazrin’s speech was to start off the session how could they conduct any business before that?” he asked.
Imtiaz also pointed out that the assembly had also flouted other conventions, including not holding the swearing-in for Ganesan to be Speaker. This, he noted, was usually held in another ceremony at another time before the ruler."

The end result is that Najib did not get the mandate he needed and the opposition was given another boost, especially in Perak, where the cloud of possible polls hangs over the court decision and mid-May requirement to hold a state assembly session."
From DR BRIDGET WELSH, Might Of The Pen"In his book “Constitutional Monarchy, Rule of Law and Good Governance” (2004), the former Lord President wrote:“Under normal circumstances, it is taken for granted that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong would not withhold his consent to a request for dissolution of parliament. His role is purely formal.”He also pointed out that no sultan or agung had withheld consent to dissolve legislative body, except in Kelantan in 1977.
Deja vu? People may now frown upon the royal family with changed views."

Malaysia's state-owned carmaker Proton is developing a new, fuel-efficient hybrid car to beat rising costs and address environmental concerns. Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told the state Bernama news agency he had already test-driven the car and urged the company to continue researching energy-saving technologies
From www.hybrids-tech.com
"A car with Hybrid technology has two engines, side by side, under the bonnet. This means an electric engine here and a petrol engine there. Seeing today’s cars we come to know that majority cars driven by one or the other engine. This means not that cost effective. Thus, for better mileage and maximum performance, you get them both chiming in together, so you get more power. This can only be found in hybrid cars. That’s why people prefer them over others.
In hybrid car the electric engine also charges the batteries, and that neatly gets you around the old problem of electric cars of having to plug it into the mains overnight. This means no need to worry about recharging too. But one of the biggest disadvantages attached with hybrid cars is that they needed big, heavy battery packs which took up all of the back seat. But this is also now rectified as now you get a full four-seater capacity and enough room in the luggage space for two or three small dogs or maybe even one really big one.
Thus, we can now say that hybrid car is the best and safe option to go for. "

An admirable effort, but one has to wonder whether they are up to the technical challenge, given how Toyota has had over a 10-year headstart, with the 2009 Toyota Prius looming, and the Honda Civic Hybrid is into the second generation as well. Techniques such as regenerative braking, hybrid drivetrains and battery management software are not developed overnight. One prototype test car does not a production-ready model make. They would need to do some heavy-duty partnering
Mistake? Prophecy ?? Mind Boggling....!!! Click on Image ! Caption is on the current PM but the picture tells a different story !
In Perak, Malaysia, a few km from Ipoh , turn into Simpang Pulai toll, then follow the signboards. The Highlands is totally different from the lowlands. Hibiscus flowers are so much bigger in size. Cactus displays hues of color and in a variety of shapes.Strawberry fruits are grown in abundance and can be self plucked for a price.Saiful replied : It’s all a coincidence. We don’t know that Anwar is going to contest…
BUT THEN....
Yet, on 2nd August, Malaysiakini reported that in a posting in Saiful’s blog on 1st August, ‘Saiful also briefly wished Anwar ‘good luck’ in contesting for the Permatang Pauh by-election’.
This is what Saiful posted in his blog on 1st August : Kepada DSAI, saya mengucapkan selamat bertanding"
