BUKIT LANJAN: Truly humble, frugal and sincere service to her people and country …

Malaysia sorely needs more Susi Pudjiastuti as politicians who serve with dedication, honesty and sincerity.

The Indonesian minister has shamed many politicians globally with a true display of humbleness, frugality and sincerity to serve her people and country as an elected representative of a government.

“The picture of Susi sleeping at a US airport lounge has gone viral for all the right reasons,” Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said.

“To me, the picture is worth a thousand words. It is a picture that truly reminds everyone about humbleness and truly positive values of a person in public office.

“I am pretty sure Susi could have spent government money to rest in the comfort of a hotel room. But she did not!

“To me, what she did was to save her taxpayers’ money. No need to spend unnecessarily because she could make do with just a nap.

“To put it crudely the Malaysian way, that’s not my grandfather’s money. It’s taxpayers’ money belonging to my country. I have to think twice before spending it,” he added.


Syed Razak, who is Gerakan’s nominee to contest N.37 Bukit Lanjan in the coming 14th General Election (GE14), said given the current sluggish global economy, “it will do well for the administration of countries to be frugal in their spending”.

“What every country now need are more Susi Pudjiastuti in government administrations, including Malaysia,” he said, adding that countries with many such political leaders will certainly prosper healthily.

Here’s what The Star Online posted about Susi:

CreditKristian Helgesen/Bloomberg, via Getty Images Norway’s Wealth Fund Considers Divesting From Oil Shares By  CLIFFORD KRAUSS NOV. 16, 2017 Norway’s $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund is considering a divestment of holdings in international petroleum companies, a sign that even Europe’s dominant producer does not have full confidence in oil’s future. The recommendation on Thursday by the Norwegian Central Bank, which manages the fund, is potentially the biggest advance yet for a global fossil-fuel divestment campaign that has been promoted on college campuses and by environmental activists. It could also be a setback for the proposed initial public offering of the Saudi national oil company, known as Aramco, since the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, would be a potentiall...

BUKIT LANJAN: DOSH and all related construction authorities must buck up It is quite obvious that something is not very right with the way the Department of Occupational Health and Safety (DOSH) and all related construction authorities are monitoring work safety at construction sites. There have been quite a number of tragic and non-tragic incidents at construction sites recently and yet accidents continue to recur despite DOSH’s claims that it has set up safety committees to tighten inspections. Gerakan Deputy Speaker Syed Abdul Razak Alsagoff said: “There was the woman who was crushed to death by a crane hook that fell on her Perodua Kelisa from 20 storeys up. “This was followed by the collapse of the KL Eco City pedestrian bridge that claimed a life. And now a crane has collapsed at the Bandar Damansara Perdana (BDP) construction site.” Syed Razak said such tragic and non-tragic mishaps at construction would not occur or could have been avoided if high and competent constr...
