KEDUDUKAN TERKINI : DR.M (3) - PAK LAH (0)
Keputusan terkini perlawanan bola sepak merebut Piala UMNO yang telah bermula sejak 1 Syawal yang lalu, Dr. M sedang mendahului Pak Lah dengan 3-0. Yang menariknya, kesemua gol pasukan Dr. M dijaringkan sendiri oleh pasukan Pak Lah.Penyumbang gol sendiri pasukan Pak Lah adalah seperti berikut:-
1. Gol pertama ini dijaringkan oleh KJ apabila beliau menjual balik sahamnya dalam ECM Libra yang bermakna KJ sudah tiada kepentingan dlm syarikat tersebut.
2. Gol kedua dijaringkan oleh Brendon Singapore apabila NSTP akan menamatkan kontraknya sebagai Ketua Editor NST bermula 1 Disember ini.
3. Gol ketiga yang dianggap paling cantik setakat ini ialah apabila Sultan Johor Darul Takzim bertitah yang baginda mahukan Tambak Johor dirobohkan dan diganti dengan jambatan jika mahu Johor lebih maju.
Permainan masih berjalan dan dapat dilihat pasukan Dr. M masih belum mengeluarkan peluh lagi tetapi sudah mendahului 3-0 setakat ini. Malah striker Dr. M masih belum menggunakan kepakaran yang mereka miliki dalam perlawanan paling menarik di abad ke 21 ini.
Penonton dan penyokong kedua belah pihak masih menunggu dengan penuh debaran keputusan di akhir perlawanan. Ada yang mengharapkan seri dan tiada siapa yang mengaku pasukan nya menang dan menuduh pasukan lain kalah. Ada juga berharap pasukan Pak Lah menang supaya dapat menyimpan terus Piala UMNO. Manakala penyokong pasukan Dr. M masih menaruh harapan yang tinggi agar pemain pasukan Pak Lah akan lebih kerap menjaringkan gol sendiri.

Cops to probe baptism SMS
IPOH: The police are investigating a rumour which spread like wildfire through SMS, claiming that a group of Muslims will be baptised at a church here.
As a result, a large crowd gathered at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Silibin from 7.30am yesterday to protest against the alleged baptism only to find out that it was actually the first Holy Communion for 98 Indian children.
State police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Aziz Bulat said the police would verify how the SMS had started.
"There could be some people out there who have a personal agenda to create disharmony among the races," he said when met at the church.
DCP Aziz said the police had also received the text message and had, therefore, placed the Federal Reserve Unit on standby since 7am.
He advised the public to be wary of such messages.
"Don't accept everything you read or hear as total truth," he said, adding that he would call on all involved parties to help with the investigation.
The protesters, who included members of opposition parties and non-governmental organisations, gathered for some four hours and refused to disperse initially despite warnings from the police.
They finally started to leave at 11.20am after Deputy OCPD (II) Supt Lai Yong Heng issued a stern warning.
Perak Religious Department director Datuk Jamry Sury, who was present to monitor the situation, said the department would also investigate the incident.
"We will take action against the culprit," he added.
Perak Pusat Khidmat Islam secretary Mohd Nazri Sahad said he was there to check if there was any truth to the message.
The police were still on standby at the church last night.
Father Fabian Dicom, spokesman for the Catholic Diocese of Penang, which covers Perak, said the church was extremely concerned that a group of people had been sowing ill-will through rumours.
"We are concerned as to how others have come to believe these rumours," he added.
He noted that the incident had also infringed on the church members' right to worship.
"The Catholic Church has always believed that dialogue is the best platform to resolve issues and as such is extremely disappointed that there was no attempt whatsoever for dialogue," he said.

Sultan's Causeway remark causes a stir
JOHOR BARU: Johor Sultan Iskandar Ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail caused a stir during his address at the launch of the South Johor Economic Region (SJER) project yesterday when he digressed from his written text and said the Causeway should be removed.
To the shock of the 2,000 people present and thousands of viewers at home of the live telecast over RTM 1 and TV3, the Ruler said it was built by colonialists who had used dirty tactics to deceive his ancestors.
He said the building of the Causeway was to deliberately prevent ships from passing local waters, resulting in the development of Keppel Port in Singapore instead.
"The Causeway has to be removed to allow ships to pass", the Sultan said before launching the multi-billion SJER. "Tu causeway tu bukakan, baru negeri Johor ini maju", titah baginda.
At this juncture, the audience broke into laughter and applauded.
In his address the Ruler, who was clad in a T-shirt, said he would not "give face” (bagi muka) to the foreigners (Mat Sallehs) and urged the people not to hold them in high regard. "Kita ni jangan tak sedar, jangan kena tipu lagi", titah baginda.
He also reminded locals and their children to be wary of them as they were "vultures".
The Causeway was built in 1920 when Malaya and Singapore were ruled by the British. It is 1,050m long and has railway lines, a road and a water pipeline and is used by tens of thousands of people daily.

FAIZAL: GOOD LESSON FOR ME

In a statement issued late last night, 35-year-old Faizal, who is also the state party deputy youth chief, said he resigned after being advised to do so by Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo.
"With full repentance, I willingly relinquish my post as a Klang Municipal Councillor. My resignation letter will be sent to the Mentri Besar and the Council president by tomorrow (today) by 3pm," he said.
Faizal and two other councillors – Datuk Zakaria Md Deros and Mazlynoor Abdul Latiff – constructed their houses without approval. However, he is the only one who has relinquished his post.
Faizal said he was summoned to see Dr Khir yesterday to explain the issue of the construction of his bungalow at Kampung Raja Uda.
He also reiterated his public apology in his statement to Dr Khir, the council and the people for "causing problems to so many quarters."
Faizal is married to the daughter of Umno permanent chairman Tan Sri Onn Ismail, who is also the Selangor State Assembly Speaker.
Faizal said that his father-in-law, who owns the house, had entrusted him with rebuilding it.
The house needed to be torn down and rebuilt because it was termite-infested and the wiring was old.
He said the whole issue had become a valuable lesson for him and "I will take the punishment but will still like to serve the party and the people in the future."
"Let this be an important lesson for me to be more responsible when carrying out the mandate given by the party and the people," he added.
Faizal said he was thinking of quitting the moment this matter became public and it became clear what he had to do after his meeting with Dr Khir.
"How can I continue to serve as a councillor and offer any advice if the same situation occurs to someone else?
"It shows the importance of the need to respect the law especially now that the people have become more aware."
Faizal, who is the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of public listed construction company Wijaya Baru Global Berhad, explained that the problem with the building plan approval centred round an access road reserve at the land.
"This required me to get approval from the exco to transfer the title of the reserve to allow construction to start. I neglected to inform the council after getting the approval.
"I had submitted my building plan application to the council but it was on hold until I got the state government's approval. It was further complicated when we kept changing the plan. My architect told me that every time I changed the plan I needed to get the council's approval. This I failed to do."
STOP MORAL POLICING, SAY CHRISTIANS
The federation's executive committee said it was troubled and deeply concerned by news reports that a foreign couple had been "traumatised in the wee hours of the morning when officers of the Kedah Religious Department stormed into their Langkawi condominium and rudely interrogated them."
Americans, retired policeman Randal Barnhart and his wife Carole, who had wanted to make Malaysia their second home, are now reconsidering that plan after their unpleasant encounter with religious officials who had accused them of committing khalwat (close proximity).
The federation said that even though the Barnharts, in their 60s and married for over 42 years, told the raiding team they were Christians, the officers continued to be intimidating towards the couple, insisting they show their marriage certificate.
Although the Prime Minister had just recently refuted his predecessor's claim that Malaysia was now a police state, the federation said incidents such as that in Kedah and other similar actions by over-zealous vigilante groups in Malaysia pointed to the contrary.
Apart from urging the Cabinet to look into the matter and take steps to reassure all Malaysians, the federation called on the Kedah Religious Department to offer an official apology to the Barnharts, and for the Tourism Minister to assure all tourists and Malaysians that they will not be subjected to vigilante moral policing by religious officers.
"The CFM joins the voices of other concerned groups in the country in affirming the personal freedoms guaranteed to every person in our Constitution and that no person should be subject to laws other than what is sanctioned by Parliament," it added.
MAWI'S COMPANY FACES COPYRIGHT SUIT

Yassa Sdn Bhd is seeking general damages of RM1mil from Mawi World Sdn Bhd in the suit filed at the High Court yesterday.
Yassa also wants to stop Mawi World from continuing to produce bottled mineral water using Yassa's licence number, factory address and product contents on its label.
In its statement of claim, the plaintiff said one of its directors chanced upon bottled water branded as Mawi World displayed at a supermarket in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
The director found that the information displayed on the bottle labels were the same as that printed on the plaintiff's products.
A police report was lodged on Oct 2 at the Seremban police station for infringement of intellectual property.
Both parties met on Oct 3 when Mawi World allegedly admitted to using the information without Yassa's approval.
The defendant claimed ignorance of the infringement as it got its water supply from a company called Johtaw Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd.
Mawi World purportedly agreed to discuss compensation for the infringement but no agreement was reached between the parties.

ZAKARIA : I MADE A MISTAKE

Embattled Port Klang state assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros finally broke his silence yesterday but kept mum on whether he would relinquish his Klang municipal councillor's post. With a week left till the Nov 8 deadline to hand in his resignation, Zakaria, 60, pleaded for a stop to the "attacks" in the media.
Looking frail, forlorn and breaking down several times during the 4pm press conference, he admitted he made a mistake when he designed a "house (referring to the mansion) which might have been unsuitable for the low-cost housing estate" in Kampung Idaman.
"However, it was never my intention to boast or show off by building a bigger house which has been called 'Istana Datuk Zakaria' by some," he read from a 12-page statement at his current double-storey low-cost house in Kampung Idaman here.
"My wife and I merely wanted a more comfortable dwelling for our 11 children, seven daughters- and-sons-in-law as well as 11 grandchildren."
He added that the family had also planned to create community-centred rooms in the new house, including having a tuition centre, a surau and an activity corner.
"If our sincere intention had been misinterpreted, we apologise for not having properly explained our little contribution," Zakaria, flanked by sons Zainuri and Zul Hisham, read from his prepared statement.
"I thank those, including the media, for giving me guidance on the need to follow rules and regulations."
Halfway through the press conference Zakaria's hands trembled. He became emotional and wept openly.
He explained how the family had been rooted in Kampung Idaman for more than 30 years since moving from the KTMB quarters in Port Klang. He had been a railway gatekeeper then.
"We feel really close to the people here and that is why, despite our new prosperity, we still choose to remain here because we want to continue serving people here," Zakaria said.
"Together with other leaders, we have helped to build a mosque to replace the dilapidated surau, construct a sekolah agama rakyat and primary school."
However, he added that he did not want his "mistake" to be capitalised on by the Opposition, adding that humans made mistakes.
On allegations that he had purposely flouted the law, Zakaria said it was untrue to claim he had never submitted any building plan or not tried to get approval to build his new house.
Between Dec 12, 2002, and April 6 this year, he said, his architect had submitted a layout plan and obtained conditional approval to build the bungalow.
However, the application had run into problems, including the non-processing of the building plan by MPK because the architect did not pay the plan fee.
Further trouble came in April this year when the architect quit.
Zakaria said he has since appointed a new architect and done all the amendments to the building plan as required by MPK.
"In the meantime, I have voluntarily stopped work on the new house until MPK approves the revised building plan. I have also asked all the professionals involved in building the house to advise me so that I do not run foul of the law," he said.
Zakaria stressed he had never intended to abuse his position as a councillor and elected representative to bend the rules to his favour.
He also thanked the Selangor Sultan for his advice. However, Zakaria did not reveal what the advice was nor did he say if he would act on the advice, especially the Sultan's call for him to voluntarily relinquish his position as councillor.
He stressed that he had been unable to meet the Sultan when first summoned on Oct 20 because of ill health. He also failed to meet the second summons on Oct 23 for the same reason. He finally met the Sultan on Oct 28.
Zakaria said he met Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on Oct 29 at 10.15am at TUDM Subang just before Abdullah left for China.
"The Prime Minister advised me to be patient and find a way to deal with the problems," he said.
"I hope the explanation in this press conference will stop the bad impressions and speculations about me and my family."
Zakaria then apologised for not taking questions, saying he feared such a session would cause legal problems and further paint him as a black sheep.
Earlier, as the reporters gathered in his living room, Zakaria called out to familiar faces and shook hands with pressmen.
"Come on, I will issue a statement, and kakak (his wife Zizah Ngah) has made some food. It is still Hari Raya, please eat," said Zakaria, who is known for his charitable work.
He even took the press on a tour of his simple wooden home which he shares with his 11 children, in-laws, grandchildren and his 80-year-old mother-in-law Jamilah Zakaria.
