Ibrahim Ali Proposes Safari Concept To Protect Endangered Ethnic Groups

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Bernama) -- A Member of Parliament (MP) on Monday urged the government to set up ethnic preservation sanctuaries (safari) or build a zoo in every state to protect endangered ethnic groups such as those championed by Perkasa.

Datuk Ibrahim Ali (Bebas-Pasir Mas) said apart from protecting endangered ethnic groups, such places can also attract tourist to the respective states and provide sanctuaries for those not ready for the burdens, challenges and opportunities of globalisation.

He added that the lost of natural habitat for ethnic groups was due to the control and accumulation of wealth of a few over the many.

"The easiest way of preserving ethnic identity is to follow Africa that uses the safari concept. Similarly, we have to identify places that can be turned into a safari for those we champion whom we believe are endangered even though they constitute the majority.

"We have vast areas in Sabah and Sarawak, even in the Peninsular there are places that can be used for such purposes because not all states have their own zoo," he told the Dewan Rakyat when debating the Ethnic Group Conservation Bill 2010 Monday.

Ibrahim added that the management of zoo in the country was also not efficient enough when compared with other countries, including Singapore.

"Our Zoo Negara when compared with countries that do not have vast jungles and endangered ethnic groups like those we champion, especially Singapore, pales in shadow because they are better," he said.

He also wanted to know the status of Zoo Negara which was apparently going to be shifted to another location since the location was not conducive due to the proximity of housing developments in the area.

"The concept of a zoo is to ensure animals and endangered ethnic groups lived in their natural habitat and environment. Through that concept, we can also attract visitors and tourists," he said.

The Dewan Rakyat will resume Tuesday.

The Ministry of Truth

There is only one truth and that is whatever we say it is. We will crush the truth out of web and what remains will be whatever insipid thing we deem the rakyat is able to digest without constipating.

But first the 3 amigos below need to be meeting everyday rather than every month. What lazy fuckers. Not good enough for Super UMNO.

And those opposition dumb fucks haven't even cotton on that we are using the government for party work. Ka Ka. The govt = BN in all ways.

Next on the agenda, controlling the water in Selangor.



Hisham, Nazri, Rais to head anti-false news panel

The Home Ministry has set up a committee to formulate the government's communication strategy besides thwarting the dissemination of false news by irresponsible people.

Its minister Hishammuddin Hussein said the committee was also made up of Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohamed Nazri Aziz and Information Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim.

He said the committee's secretariat was housed at the legal affairs division of the Prime Minister's Department.

"The government believes that if lies and false news churned out by irresponsible people continue unabated, these irresponsible people will think they are right while the public will continue to be deceived," he told reporters in Putrajaya today.

The committee met for the first time three days ago, during which it decided to create a high-level task force and meet at least once a month, he said, adding that Nazri and Rais attended the meeting.


Hishammuddin said the committee also discussed amendments to the laws, training of investigating officers, treatment of witnesses and the definition of false news.

In another development, Hishammuddin said the Home Ministry would implement the police station league to adjudge the performance and services of police stations nationwide.

"Police stations which display excellent performance will receive a recognition while the officers and policemen will receive incentives.

"This is aimed at promoting an excellent work culture and a healthy competition among police stations," he added.
