According to Wee on his Facebook page; policemen have visited his Muar home on Merdeka eve looking for the 27-year-old who is now permanently based in Kuala Lumpur.

Wee had later visited the Taman Tun Dr Ismail police station to deliver a statement aiding the current investigations.

The controversial Muar native sparked wide outrage recently for his latest video titled ‘Nah’, which uses racial slur and foul language to criticize a Johor school headmistress Siti Inshah Mansor after she made racist remarks during a school assembly last month.

In his subsequent blog entry, Wee defended his usage of foul language in the video, stating that vulgar content was chosen ‘only with the objective of bringing out his point of view’.

This is not the first time Wee attracted national controversy, however, as in 2007 another video titled ‘Negarakuku’ mocked both the national anthem and also Tenaga Nasional Sdn Bhd.

No action was taken against Wee back then, but the latest turn of events received more attention after Puteri Umno urged action be taken against him.

Wee responded to the criticism by challenging Puteri Umno’s chief, Datuk Rosnah Rashid Shirlin to an open debate.

Siti Inshah, the Johor headmistress who came under attack in Wee’s video, is also under investigation for her comments.

During an assembly for the National Day last month, she reportedly insulted Chinese and Indian students in the school.

If Wee is found guilty of sedition, he could face up to three years of imprisonment.

Haniyeh thanked the delegation and also Malaysians who have donated without any prejudice to help the beleaguered state’s plight.

Two different delegations had left Malaysia for the Gaza strip during this Ramadan month, with the first of them making a safe return on August 20.

The delegation of 44 people was dubbed ‘Ramadan March for Freedom’, and was headed by PKR Central Committee representative Ustaz Badrulamin, in co-organization with Majlis Perundingan Pertubuhan Islam Malaysia (MAPPIM).

The second delegation of 67 people, sponsored by the Putera 1Malaysia club, arrived in Gaza on August 12, where they had also met Haniyeh, who is one of the two disputed Prime Ministers for Palestine.

While the Freedom March delegation went to deliver donations offered to Gaza by Malaysians and also to survey the aid of further developments, the Putera 1 Malaysia delegation, which consisted of 39 doctors, concentrated on providing medical relief.

MAPPIM chairman Mohd Azmi Abdul Hamid said that based on the observations by the delegation, few suggestions will be dished out to the Malaysian government to help with the rebuilding process in Gaza, among them being a hospital, a university and a mosque.

The two delegations managed to make it safely to the troubled state after Egypt opened its Rafah border in the wake of Israel’s recent attacks on boats transporting aids to Gaza.

The two-day one-night camp, with the theme of love and harmony, took place at the Impian Hotel in Morib, about an hour’s drive away from Klang.

Apart from the regular church members, the camp also witnessed participants who came all the way from Johor Bahru, and even a Nigerian foreigner.

The participants were involved in many activities including volleyball, ping pong, carom and also a visit to the Arowana Malayan Food Industries, a popular food and beverage company located in Tanjung Sepat.

“If you ask me why the churches came together for this camp, it’s because we are all brothers and sisters,” said Reverend Elanko Kannan, who believes that churches coming together is an important aspect to cultivate better relationships.

The camp has been under preparation for the past one month, and Michael Phang, a retired school teacher who was an invited guest to the camp, encouraged more people to participate in such camps in the future.

The residents from Taman Sri Kebakat, Taman SBJ Kebakat, all of whom subscribe to the Telekom Malaysia cables, have already lodged a complaint via the Telekom Call Center but did not receive any response.

Frustrated, they proceeded to lodge a complaint at the TM’s state headquarters in Kota Bharu, but claim that the officials there are unable to indicate a definite timeline as to when the problem will be solved.

“They are saying they have no idea when it will be solved,” told a local resident who refused to be named.

He also added that initially they were told that the cables were cut and stolen, but later on were informed that the service disruption was due to a road reconstruction that was taking place nearby.

Among the residents, 40 of them are also subscribers to the TM broadband service, and are also affected by the disconnection.

The residents are urging the authorities to put up an ear to listen and finally put a full stop for this dragging issue.

The video captured by citizen journalist Jimmy Leow Beng Hock on August 13, shows a commercial ‘B’ grade fishing boat with the registration number PPF 318 operating in close proximity to the shores of Pulau Betong.

Two fishermen later measured depth of the seabed to verify the trawler’s distance from the shores, and at a depth of 55 feet, estimated that the trawler was within 2 ½ nautical miles from the shores.

Commercial fishing are not supposed to take place anywhere within the 5 nautical mile radius from the shores, as stipulated by the Fisheries Act 1985.

By trespassing the five nautical mile radius which is meant only for inshore fishermen, the trawlers have affected the income of these Pulau Betong fishermen since early 2010.

Nine police reports were already filed against the trawlers prior to this, but no action has been taken by the maritime police.

However, the Pulau Betong fishermen’s representative Tan Ah Kee believes this new evidence would prompt the police to finally take some concrete action, after filing his latest report at the Sungai Korok police station in Barat Daya.

Tan and Jimmy were both about to participate in press conference organized to bring awareness to the troubles of the fishermen in Pulau Betong when they received a notification from local inshore fishermen that a commercial boat is currently fishing in their stipulated range.

Around 500 inshore fishermen from the Barat Daya district last week had called for an amendment in the Fisheries Act to increase their fishing area to 12 nautical miles.

This comes in the back of their income dropping by an alarming 70 per cent mainly due to the presence of commercial trawlers.

This comes in the back of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) barring the lecture to be conducted there on August 10, which had prompted the lecture to be held outside of the campus.

Fahmi, who directed the cult historical documentaries 10 Tahun Sebelum Merdeka and Revolusi 48, has been conducting research on the student movements across the country during the 60s.

His findings are formed into the ‘Student Power’ lecture, which divulges about students’ involvement in political issues and how pivotal their roles were in forming a society trying to free itself from marks of colonization during the post-independence era.

UM’s Dean, Prof. Dr. Mohammad Redzuan Othman said while contacted that he did not approve the request submitted by the university’s Historical Society to organize the lecture, even though Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences allegedly approved the lecture less than 24 hours earlier.

Fahmi however will organize a ‘Kami Tuntut Student Power Lecture’ campaign, to encourage UM students to demand for the lecture to be allowed in the university.

The student movement of the 60s originated in UM, and thus Fahmi believes it is imperative that the a lecture revealing UM’s own history should ‘come home’.

The fishermen in the area claim that their income is being affected by almost 70 per cent mainly due to the encroachment by commercial trawlers.

One of the areas that are affected most by these illegal activities is Pulau Betong, Balik Pulau, where the fishermen have filed nine police reports since the January this year against the encroachment of these trawlers.

The fishermen at Pulau Betong have listed a number of 30 fishing boats that have been fishing illegally in their territories and cite a lack of action by the authorities as a reason for their frustrations.

The island’s inshore fishermen chairman Tan Ah Kee claimed that around 16 species of fish and prawns could no longer be found at the shores of Pulau Betong due to the excessive fishing that has been taking place.

The fishermen also believe that there is a decline in the number of fishes available near the shores due to the Tambak Laut development project, which takes place along the shores at the district.

According to the 1985 Fisheries Act, inshore fishermen are only allowed to conduct their fishing activities between a one to five nautical miles radius; and commercial fishing are not supposed to take place within the inshore fishermen’s territory.

Nine trawlers were caught by authorities earlier this year but the illegal activities remain rife at the Barat Daya shores, with many such activities believed to be taking place during night.

The flats are now plagued mainly with soil erosion problems, apart from other issues such as a lack of proper disposal bin for the garbage, dysfunctional street lights and cracking walls.

The erosion under the flat grounds has left a gaping hole big enough to fit a person, with some residents claiming dogs enter the hole and re-emerge at the other side of the building, indicating the severity of the erosion under the cements.

Waste water can also be seen running out in the open as a direct result of the erosion, and this, according to few residents, releases a stench that can be felt even in their homes.

The 450 families who reside in the flats are ex-estate workers, who were vacated from four estates in and around the Putrajaya area some 12 years ago in order to pave way for the construction of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.

However, the deplorable conditions in the flats that they have been vacated to reached a peak as the residents now seek answers and help from both the Federal Government and the State Government to improve their living conditions.

Anama, 56, who was an ex-estate worker, also claims that even for those who have completed their RM 18,000 payment to buy the flats, they were not provided with the grants for their home as of yet.

The protest began at 5 pm at the sides of the Dengkil main road, some 700 meters away from the flats, and continued for the next 24 hours.

In a statement released yesterday, Lim also stated the investment would help create more job opportunities in Penang.

Western Digital, the world’s second largest disk manufacturer after Seagate, will expand their operations in Malaysia at both Petaling Jaya and Penang.

US$400 million is expected to be invested in a new manufacturing site in Petaling Jaya, with the remaining US$800 million funneled into a new research and development site in Penang.

Constructions of these sites are expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2011, and will be operational by 2012.

In the entire duration of this investment, the company will create an estimated 10,000 new job opportunities through these two sites.

Foreign investment has moved up the priority ladder in the country after large investment outflows were reported in the past two years, amounting at RM 51 billion.

Lim was upbeat about the recent launch of Penang Science Council, which he believes will create more interest among youths regarding science and technology, apart from supporting the Federal Government’s attempts to liaise local universities with Western Digital to produce industry-ready students.
