Missing files
Former Deputy Chief Minister Abdul Rashid Abdullah (2004-2008) was the executive councilor handling the land portfolio under the previous state administration.
Abdul Rashid, who lost in the Sungai Bakap state constituency in the recent general election, was among the vocal Umno leaders involved in the illegal demonstration against the DAP-led state government near Komtar on Friday March 14.During the rally, he addressed the crowd in calling on Penang Malays to defend the New Economic Policy and Malay privileges, which supposedly have come under threat from the new state government.
All official executive documents on land dealings in Abdul Rashid’s Komtar office were among the files that had allegedly gone missing from most executive councilors’ offices before the new state government was sworn in.
The present state government learnt about the land scam when perusing documents available at the state and district land offices, and state secretariat.Insiders said initial random checks on previous land dealings had disclosed improprieties worth more than RM100 million

Land Scam in Penang
The DAP goverment in Penang is now in effort of finding out how billions and billions of cash has just vanished under the BN led goverment before this...
“The land scam has caused colossal financial losses to the state government running to tens and tens and tens and tens of millions,” he told journalists,Mr, Lim Guan Eng...
Dissatisfied with the findings of an earlier Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) investigation done in 2006, the state government has now set up a three-man special investigating team headed by the Deputy Chief Minister I Mohammad Fairus Khairuddin, to carry out its own probe in the scam.
Others in the committee are Deputy Chief Minister II Prof P Ramasamy and state executive councillor Phee Boon Poh.
Although Lim has not given any time frame to complete it, the committee is being expected to fast track its probe into the scandal.Once it has completed its investigation, government insiders said Penangites would be in for a shock to discover the extent of misappropriation of land and public funds under the previous administration.

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital .
It! was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement AFTER THE POEM.
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
!
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

FORWARDED E-MAILS ARE TRACKED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL COUNT.
Dear All:
PLEASE pass this mail on to everyone you know - even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer.
This young girl has 6 months left to live, and as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will.
She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.
By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's not even your money, just your time!
PLEASE PASS ON AS A LAST REQUEST.

UMNO nak buat demonstrasi lebih besar dan lebih kerap...
"Umno mesti demonstrasi lebih besar, lebih kerap lagi" Mat Sabu

KL: Naib Presiden PAS, Haji Mohamad Sabu menggesa Umno mengadakan demonstrasi yang lebih besar dan lebih kerap.
"Buat besar lagi. Buat hari-hari. Lagi besar dan lagi kerap kamu buat, lagi benci rakyat kepada kamu. Senang sikit kerja kami. Tak perlu nak susah-susah ceramah sana-sini beritahu kepada rakyat siapa sebenarnya Umno," kata beliau.
Menurut Mohamad Sabu, berikutan sikap polis yang "memberikan layanan terbaik" kepada demonstrasi-demonstrasi Umno itu, beliau menerima banyak aduan termasuk dari rakyat biasa yang bertambah benci kepada kedua-dua pihak.
"Kalau kita nak buat perhimpunan aman, belum berhimpun dah kena tangkap. Tak jadi berhimpun pun kena tangkap. Tak berhimpun dan hanya bercakap kepada akhbar pun kena tangkap juga," katanya sambil mengaitkan penangkapan beberapa pemimpin pembangkang yang menyertai sidang akhbar di Parlimen sebelum ini.
"Kalau Umno buat, bukan sahaja polis tidak tangkap, malah memberikan layanan terbaik. Polis mengkastakan rakyat?
"Sikap polis terhadap Umno itu akan menambahkan lagi undi kita dalam pilihan raya akan datang, insya Allah," katanya.
Rakyat benci
Sebelum ini, katanya, rakyat bertindak mengundi pembangkang kerana pelbagai sebab.
"Ada yang undi pembangkang kerana benci kepada (Perdana Menteri yang dituntut berundur, Datuk Seri) Abdullah (Ahmad Badawi), ada yang benci sangat kepada (menantu Abdullah) Khairy (Jamaluddin), ada yang memang benci kepada Umno dan BN (Barisan Nasional), ada yang meluat sangat kepada (Pengurusi Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya, Tan Sri Abdul) Rashid (Abdul Rahman) dan ramai yang benci polis," katanya.
Sebab itulah, katanya, demonstrasi-demonstrasi yang dibuat oleh Umno dan "pak lawak-pak lawak" parti tidak sepatutnya dikecam dan dilarang.
"Biar mereka buat banyak-banyak, hari-hari. Umno ada demokrasi, kan? Kita tak ada. Lagi pun, orang-orang Umno di Pulau Pinang, Perak dan Selangor sudah tak ada kerja sekarang. Buat demonstrasilah, nak buat apa lagi?
"Nak bela raja-raja Melayu konon, dulu siapa yang buat perhimpunan di seluruh negara hentam raja-raja Melayu? Hari ini, akhbar-akhbar Umno yang dahulunya menghentam dan menghina raja-raja Melayu berlagak sebagai pembela raja-raja Melayu kononnya.
Bunuh DEB di WPI
"Bila Abdullah bunuh DEB (Dasar Ekonomi Baru) di WPI (Wilayah Pembangunan Iskandar), mana muka-muka itu? Mana Melayu-Melayu itu? Kenapa tak demonstrasi masa itu? Rakyat sudah lama kenal siapa pembohong," katanya lagi.
Beliau bagaimanapun tidak menolak kemungkinan kerajaan Abdullah akan mengambil kesempatan dari demonstrasi-demonstrasi itu untuk menangkap pembangkang.
"Tahun 1987, Umno yang buat perhimpunan, kami (pembangkang) yang kena tangkap (dalam Operasi Lallang)".
Bendahari PAS, Dr Mohd Hatta Md Ramli pula berkata, rakyat akan melihat sendiri adakah polis akan bertindak adil.
"Kalau dengan pembangkang, dibelasah habis-habisan dengan cota, tembakan dan semburan asid. Belum berhimpun kena tangkap, tidak berhimpun pun kena tangkap. Kita nak tengok (apa tindakan polis terhadap demonstrasi-demonstrasi Umno)," kata Ahli Parlimen Kuala Krai itu yang tergesa-gesa untuk menghadiri program bersama rakyat di kawasan yang diwakilinya ketika dihubungi
