Work as one team to win polls, BN parties told Posted: 27 Oct 2011 10:58 AM PDT 2011/10/27 By M. Husairy Othman and Jaspal Singh news@nst.com.my GOOD READ... (From left) Students Mimi Hanie Shuhada Bakri, Nurul Hanim Shairani, Nor Hasrin Nadia Alias, Nurul Nabilah Hassan, Hadzirah Sabarudin and Noratikah Liana Awang Desa of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Sepuluh in Lekir, Perak, are excited over the School Times published by the New Straits Times Press. The newspaper was launched yesterday by Deputy Prime MinisterTan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also education minister. — NST picture by Mohd Yusni Ariffin SITIAWAN: The current spat between DAP and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) over the allocation of seats in Kedah is concrete proof of dissatisfaction within the opposition. Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also BN deputy chairman, said the standoff clearly showed that the parties in Pakatan Rakyat were only interested in strengthening their positions in the coming general election. "Pakatan is not united. Everybody wants more seats in the next election. They are only united when the election is held and will return to their usual squabbling after that. "Unlike them, Barisan Nasional has agreed to support whoever is fielded in the coming election as we are more concerned with serving the people," he said after launching School Times at SMK Batu Sepuluh in Lekir, near here yesterday. Kedah PKR chairman Datuk Wan Salleh Wan Isa was quoted as saying that the party would not give in to DAP, who wished to contest two parliamentary and six state seats in the next election. It contested two state seats in 2008. Earlier, at another function, Muhyiddin said unity among BN component parties would ensure its survival as the government. Speaking to over 500 BN members and leaders of Parit division, he said political cooperation among divisions was akin to having one football team. "Like football, there cannot be more than one team. We cannot have two or three teams, especially when we are facing the general election, or else the teams will suffer in the end. "That's why I have been stressing that all BN parties must work as one team," he said during a luncheon at the Kemas Training Centre here. Earlier, Muhyiddin and his wife, Puan Sri Norainee Abdul Rahman, attended a special meeting with hundreds of teachers from private (SAR), government-aided (SABK) and national (SMKA) religious schools at Universiti Teknologi Petronas' chancellor hall. Present were Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir and his wife, Datin Seri Saripah Zulkifli, Perak mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria and state secretary Datuk Seri Dr Abdul Hashim. Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, presented aid worth RM15.8 million to 32 SAR, 24 SABK and three SMKA schools. Full content generated by Get Full RSS.

Aussie hiker dies in Johor forest outing Posted: 27 Oct 2011 10:56 AM PDT 2011/10/28 By Rizalman Hammim news@nst.com.my LABIS: A hiking adventure turned into a nightmare for four men when their friend died of suspected heart failure at the Sungai Bantang Forest Reserve in Bekok, near here, on Wednesday afternoon. The deceased was identified as Chris Burchill, 45, from Australia. The rest of the hikers were South African Marc Linneger, 35, Briton James Fraser, 45, Alan Chadwich, 33, and 54-year-old identified only as Jonathan, both from Australia. Burchill was believed to have suffered a heart attack when the group was reportedly lost in the forest reserve. Segamat police chief Superintendent Abdul Majid Mohd Ali said, police had classified the case as sudden death and were awaiting the post-mortem report before proceeding with investigations. The five entered the forest reserve at 8am on Wednesday before one of them contacted a friend in Singapore at about 3pm, telling him that Burchill had died and that they were lost. "The friend then contacted us and a rescue operation was immediately mounted," said Majid. He said the operation, which involved the police, the Fire and Rescue Department, Rela, Civil Defence Department, the Forestry Department and local villagers, began at 3.30pm but was called off just after midnight. "We resumed the search at 8.30am and found the lost hikers two hours later," he said. The four friends were seen sitting around Burchill's body. Majid said they encountered problems extricating the body and leading the hikers downhill due to heavy rain and rough terrain. The rescuers and the victims reached the base camp at 2.15pm where the other four hikers were given medical attention. They refused to comment on the incident. Burc hill 's body was sent to the Segamat Hospital where the postmortem would be conducted. "They were experienced hikers who had previously gone jungle trekking in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia," Majid added. Full content generated by Get Full RSS.
