DAP: Minister ‘fooling public’ on sugar subsidies

DAP has slammed the government for trying to fool the public in increasing the sugar subsidies in the face of claimed sugar price increases when global prices had decreased in the past six months.

“Therefore by maintaining sugar prices at RM2.30, the government should in actual fact have to subsidise less, and not more, as proudly boasted by Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister lsmail Sabri Yaakob.


“Is lsmail Sabri trying to pull a fast one by claiming Malaysia has increased its sugar subsidy because global prices have increased despite the opposite being true?” said DAP national publicity secretary Tony Pua (left) in a statement.

He was referring to the minister’s claim on Friday that the government has increased subsidies from 20 sen to 54 sen per kilogramme of sugar in order to maintain the price of sugar at RM2.30.

In a report in The Star on Friday, Ismail Sabri credited the government for keeping the cost of sugar down despite the fact that the “global price of sugar is skyrocketing”.

Pua rebutted the claim, saying: “What is extremely intriguing, however, was that global sugar prices over the past six months since the last price hike in May 2011 had in fact declined significantly, and not the purported ‘skyrocket’.”

Subsidies for whom?

He said world sugar price hit a peak in July 2011 at USD0.2947 per pound and “has fallen consistently every month” since then, ending at USD0.2342 last December.

Factoring in the depreciation of the ringgit against the US dollar at 7 percent, he said, the net price decrease was still 13.5 percent in ringgit terms.

Pua, who is also PJ Utara MP, questioned who the real beneficiary of the subsidy boost was, noting that only two companies monopolised local sugar distribution: Malayan Sugar Manufacturing Holdings (MSM Holdings) and Tradewinds Corporation Bhd.


MSM, he said, is a 71 percent subsidiary of Felda-related entities while Tradewinds is 43 percent controlled by Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary (right) with another 20 percent owned by Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd.

Noting that it was perplexing that subsidies “had to increase by 170 percent to cope with the non-existent skyrocketing global price of sugar”, Pua demanded an explanation from the minister.

“The minister must hence clarify why there was a need to increase subsidies when the global sugar price is falling while at the same time explain who are the real beneficiaries from the extra RM198 million of supposed ‘subsidy’,”he said.

This is the world’s biggest train set. Covers 1,150 square meters / 12,380 square feet Features almost six miles of track and is still not complete Twin brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun, 41, began work on the ‘Miniature Wunderland’ in 2000. The set covers six regions including America , Switzerland , Scandinavia , Germany , and the Austrian Alps. The American section features giant models of the Rocky Mountains, Everglades , Grand-Canyon etc … and Mount Rushmore . The Swiss section has a mini-Matterhorn. The Scandinavian part has a 4ft long passenger ship floating in a ‘fjord’ . It is expected to be finished in 2014, when the train set would cover more than 1,800 square meters / (19,376 sq ft) and feature almost 13 miles of track, by which time detailed models of parts of France, Italy and the UK would have been added It comprises 700 trains with more than 10,000 carriages and wagons. The longest train is 46ft long. The scenery includes 900 signals, 2,800 buildings, 4,000 cars – many with illuminated headlights. .. ….and 160,000 individually designed figures. Thousands of kilograms of steel and wood was used to construct the scenery… The 250,000 lights are rigged up to a system that mimics night and day by automatically turning them on and off. The whole system is controlled from a massive high-tech nerve centre. In total the set has taken 500,000 hours and more than 8 million euro to put together, the vast majority of which has come from ticket sales. Gerrit said: “Our idea was to build a world that men, women, and children can be equally astonished and amazed in.” Frederik added: “Whether gambling in Las Vegas , hiking in the Alps or paddling in Norwegian fjords – in Wunderland everything is possible. “This 4-minute video is worth watching for this amazing stuff.

The Beloved Master on Teaching

                One day, Abdul Baha’s attendants were remarking on the sweeping power of His speech: how encompassing it was, how incontestable were its arguments, how blissfully and perfectly phrased. Abdul Baha reminded them of the golden rule — that the nature and the requirements of the audience , the exigencies of the time and place must always be borne in mind, and that moderation was always essential.

Howard Colby Ives was a pastor of the Brotherhood Church in Jersey  City, at the time of the Master’s visit to the United States. He later gave his allegiance to Abdul Baha. He  says:-

“No matter what subject was brought up He was perfectly at home in its discussion, yet always with an undercurrent of modesty and loving consideration for the opinion of others…He “ saw the Face of His Heavenly Father in every face” and reverenced the soul behind it. How could one be discourteous if such  an attitude was held towards everyone!”

One day, listening to the Master’s talk in a  church, he says, “What His subject was I do not recall … My memory is all of the quiet New England church; the crowded pews, and Abdul Baha on the platform….His radiant smile and courteous demeanour ( way of behaving ). And His gestures! Never a dogmatic ( putting forward personal statements as if they were to be accepted as true without question) downward stroke of the hand; never an upraised warning finger; never the assumption of teacher to the taught. But always the encouraging upward swing of hands, as though He would actually lift us up with them.  And His voice! …never loud but of such penetrating quality that the walls of the room seemed to  vibrate with its music…”

Abdul Baha revealed the Tablets of the Divine Plan. From among some of these Tablets, one can read about  the qualities which must characterize the Baha’i teacher.  He ‘ must be heavenly, lordly and radiant’, with his ‘intention…pure, his heart independent, his spirit attracted, his thought at peace, his resolution firm, his magnanimity exalted  and in the love of God a shining torch’.

Among those who paid tribute to the Master at His funeral was Shaykh As’ad Shuqayr, a prominent Muslim citizen of Akka. He describes the beloved Master as ‘….one….whose meetings were meetings of learning wherein he explained all the heavenly books and traditions..His philanthropies to the widows and orphans were never interrupted….He had so great a station; yet he never failed to help the distressed! In his meetings with the learned and notables of Akka the attendants found him a book of history, a commentary on all the heavenly Scriptures, a philosophy of the pages of contemporary events that pertain to scientific or artistic topics…In Europe and America…he gave comprehensive and eloquent addresses and exhortations. His intention was to bring about unity among religions and sects and to remove the severe strife from their hearts and from their tongues, to urge them to take hold of the essence and let go the non-essential. He did that by presenting his message in a scientific manner. A group of Persians and others criticised him and found faults with his ideals in pamphlets they published and spread. Nevertheless, without paying any attention to their criticism and opposition, nor being hurt by their hatred and enmity, he went forward and proclaimed his teachings. It is the law of God among His creatures— a law which will not be changed—that the originator and declarer of principles must inevitably have those who agree and praise and those who disagree and reject.’

My father sent me this email…Pretty cool…

The time is now! I had a marvelous mother, who loved me, Sacrificed for me and helped me in every way possible. In all of my growing up from childhood through School and eventually marriage, My mother was always at my side. And when I needed help with my little ones, she was there for me. A few years ago, we buried this wonderful woman. Can you imagine how I felt when I returned home and Found a poem in her drawer, written by my mom:   The time is now If you are ever going to love Love me now while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow Love me now while I am living Do not wait until I am gone And then have it chiseled in marble Sweet words on ice-cold stone If you have tender thoughts of me Please let me know now If you wait until I am sleeping There will be death between us And I will not hear you then So if you love me, even a little bit Let me know while I am living So that I can treasure it Your loving mum Now she is gone and I am sick with guilt Because I never told her what she meant to me. Worse yet, I did not treat her as she deserved to be treated. I found time for everyone and everything else But I never made time for her. It would have been easy to drop in for a cup of tea And a hug but my friends came first. Would any of them have done for me what my mother did? I know the answer. When I called mom on the phone, I was always in a hurry. I feel ashamed when I think of the times I cut her off, The times I retorted back to her, The times I glared at her in an angry mood,                                                               When she wanted to correct me and guide me through the correct path. I remember too, the times I could have included her in a trip out and did not. My children loved Grandma from the times they were babies. They often turn to her for comfort and advice. She understood them. I realize now that I was too critical, Too short-tempered, too stingy with praise. Grandma gave them unconditional love. The world is filled with sons, daughters and a child like me. I hope they see themselves in this letter and realise from it. Reflections This story highlights that we must do whatever we can when our parents are alive to appreciate what we say or do, however little that may be. Very often we are willing to spend thousands to give them a grand funeral with the most elaborate preparations and expensive coffins and so on. We are willing have memorials without fail year after year. We give alms in memory of our late parents but we could not afford to spend some time with them when they were with us before their death. We were too busy with our lives. How much do we treasure our parents? They may not be perfect but it is undeniable that they deserve more than what we are doing for them now. We may be cruel to them or we may even be criminals but to our parents we are still good children and they continue to justify why we have become bad. They blame everybody else for their children being bad except them as they believe their children cannot have gone bad by themselves! Nobody in the world does that. Many will flock to us when we are in a position to give but none when we are down and out. Our parents are the only ones who will be there with us and for us whether we are good or bad, up or down till their last breaths. Let us search our hearts to see where we have placed our parents in it. If they are not in our hearts it is time to make a place for them there now. If they already there as in many of us, it is time to give them a little more. Let us not do something or fail to do it that we will regret later as it will be too late.  Love your parents now while they are still living! It is better to give them a little now than to give them the world when they are gone The world is full of sons and daughters like you and me If this has touched you, please pass it on to all the sons and daughters who have yet to praise their mom for everything they are today.
