MY COMMENTS: 

Democracy returned to our country in 2018. 
It has only been EIGHT years since the 61 year old (actually 63 years) one party rule ended in 2018.  

Democracy was established in the Philippines in 1986 - FOURTY YEARS ago. 
32 years ahead of us. 
Indonesia has been democratic since 1998 - 28 years ago.

Since 1986 the Philippines has had SIX presidential elections. 
Indonesia has had FIVE presidential elections since 1998.

We have just had our SECOND general elections since the 61 year old one-party rule ended in 2018.

So we will be needing a few more election cycles before the country settles down to nice and steady. 

We are not there yet.  

Dont give up. Lets keep working at it.

What If Naraka Had Won?

The evil character in the Deepavali story is Narakasura (also called Naraka).  He was a tyrannical demon king defeated by Lord Krishna.  But what if the story had gone the other way and Naraka had won? Naraka would be roaming the earth.

Siapa jaga portfolio Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan ketika permohonan Pardon terawal? DWIBAHASA

Selepas Nov 2022, dia memikul tanggungjawab portfolio Wilayah Persekutuan buat sementara waktu, tetapi tidak dilantik secara rasmi sebagai Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan melalui pelantikan Kabinet seperti kebiasaannya.

Berikut ialah kronologinya:

Tarikh                                                      Perkembangan

24 November 2022                               Gomen baru

2 Disember 2022                                  Kabinet baru dibentuk tetapi tiada                                                                                       Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan dilantik.

22 Disember 2022                     Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan distruktur semula                                                           sebagai jabatan di bawah JPM. Masih tiada Menteri                                                               Wilayah Persekutuan.

8 Disember 2023                          Masih tiada Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan.

Cuba teka siapa yang mewakili Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan, menghadiri mesyuarat Lembaga Pengampunan dan membentangkan permohonan pengampunan?

29 Januari 2024 Lembaga Pengampunan membuat keputusan mengenai permohonan pengampunan.

... mengesahkan pada 11 Januari 2025, menurut Bernama, bahawa dia adalah anggota Lembaga Pengampunan pada tahun 2023 dan menyifatkan dirinya sebagai "menjalankan tugas sebagai Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan pada masa itu". – BERNAMA

Penjelasan lanjut diberikan kemudiannya di Parlimen:

- 8 Disember 2023: Dia menghadiri mesyuarat tersebut. Permohonan pengampunan dibangkitkan sebagai agenda ke-11, dan Yang di-Pertuan Agong meminta dia membentangkan perkara tersebut.

- 2 Februari 2024: Keputusan untuk mengurangkan separuh tempoh hukuman penjara dan mengurangkan denda diumumkan.

*******************************************************************************************

After November 2022, temporarily had responsibility for the Federal Territories portfolio, but not formally appointed as Minister of Federal Territories in the conventional cabinet appointment.

Here is the chronology:

Date                                      Development

24 November 2022                 new gomen 

2 December 2022                new Cabinet but no Federal Territories Minister.

22 December 2022             FT Ministry restructured as department under PMD. Still no                                                  Federal Territories Minister.

8 December 2023            Still no Federal Territories Minister.

                                              Guess who represents FT Ministry and attends Federal                                                        Territories Pardons Board meeting and presents pardon                                                       application?

29 January 2024                   Pardons Board decides pardon application 

... himself confirmed on 11 January 2025, according to Bernama, that he was part of the Pardons Board in 2023 and described himself as 'serving as Federal Territories Minister at the time'.  -   BERNAMA

Subsequently clarified in Parliament:

- 8 December 2023: He attended the meeting. Pardon application was raised as the 11th agenda item, and the King asked him to present the case.

- 2 February 2024: The decision to halve prison sentence and reduce fine was announced.
