TIU NIA SENG!
In the midst of UMNO's internal crisis in 1987, a rally by UMNO Youth led by Najib was held in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. Anti-Chinese sentiments were expressed openly during the rally with placard carrying slogans like "May 13 has begun", and "Soak (the kris) in Chinese blood". This precipitated existing ethnic tensions leading to fears of a repeat of inter-ethnic violence and eventually resulted in a security operation known as Operasi Lalang, where administrative detentions were made on hundreds of individuals [20]." - From Wikipedia HERE
"Najib Tun Razak, then-president of the UMNO Youth wing, had led a massive Malay rally in Kampung Baru. The Chinese community was gripped with fear of the possibility of May 13 repeating, and many Chinese businesses around the city was closed for a few days to avoid any potential attacks from the Malay ultra-nationalists." - - From Wikipedia HERE
In keeping in line with UMNO's strategy of politicizing racial and religious issues[22], Najib declared on August 2007 that Malaysia has "never been secular because being secular by Western definition means separation of the Islamic principles of in the way we govern the country."[23] Najib's comments subsequently sparked a heated public debate which in turn, roped in other organisations–also split over opinions–to make differing statements on Malaysia's position as an Islamic or Secular state.[24]" - - From Wikipedia HERE
And should we suppot UMNO, a racist party....
TIU NIA SENG!!!!PETALING JAYA: Employees Provident Fund (EPF) members will be able to benefit from the three percentage point reduction of their monthly contribution rate from January.
In a statement yesterday, EPF said the reduction of the employees’ contribution from 11% to 8% would be made automatically for the ease of members and to facilitate implementation measures.
“This arrangement will be implemented until the December 2010 wage,” said EPF public relations senior manager Nik Affendi Jaafar in a statement yesterday.
However, members who wish to maintain their 11% contribution rate can still do so by filling up Form KWSP 17A (AHL) and handing it to their employers for submission to EPF.
Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced recently that members could reduce their monthly contributions from 11% to 8% to give them more disposable income. The announcement was part of a stimulus package to help boost economic growth.
“The decision to reduce members’ statutory contribution rate was taken twice before in 2001 and in 2003 as part of economic stimulus packages,” said Nik Affendi.
EPF would be issuing a new monthly contributions schedule accordingly, he said.
“Members and employers may obtain the new schedule and Form KWSP 17A (AHL) from all EPF branches or download them from our website at www.kwsp.gov.my from Dec 1 onwards,” he added.
