I might go for this dialogue. Recently, I have been attending few forums concerning MALAYSIA and her people. The reason I went is to expose my little brain that has been living inside the four walls of my room. I don't want to be "Katak di bawah tempurung"! (Meaning without general knowledge.)

Economy, politic and education is very important in our life. If we allow ignorance in some of of it, we might miss out a lot.

So, Just do it. TC!

PAS MP Roslan Shaharum dies - Ref Malaysiakini

PAS member of Parliament for Bukit Gantang Roslan Shaharum passed away this morning.

No further details are available at press time. PAS leaders are now gathering details of his death before issuing a statement.

But Malaysiakini understands that the MP was out cycling this morning when he suddenly collapsed. The late Roslan resides in Batu Gajah.

It is learnt that the body is now at the Batu Gajah Hospital in Perak.

In last March's election, Roslan defeated Umno treasurer Azim Zabidi by a majority of 1,566 votes. Bukit Gantang is a Malay majority seat with 27% Chinese and 10% Indian votes.

The by-election which must be held within 60 days will be a referendum on the political situation in Perak. It comes at an awkward time for Umno, with the Umno general assembly due in late March.

Ahli Parlimen Bukit Gantang Perak, Roslan Shaharum dari PAS meninggal dunia hari ini.

Perkara itu disahkan oleh Setiausaha Agung Pas Datuk Kamaruddin Jaffar.

Difahamkan Allahyarham diserang sakit jantung ketika sedang berbasikal pagi tadi.

Allahyarham meninggalkan seorang balu, Safiah Harun bersama 11 orang anak.

Ini bermakna, pilihanraya kecil akan diadakan dalam tempoh 60 hari.

Dalam pilihanraya umum lalu, Roslan mengalahkan calon Barisan Nasional (BN) Abdul Azim Mohd Zabidi dari Umno dengan majoriti 1,566 undi.

Roslan mendapat 20,015 undi manakala Abdul Azim menerima 18,449 undi. Manakala calon bebas, M Morgan mendapat 872 undi.

Menurut Harakahdaily, Roslan meninggal dunia kira-kira jam 12 tengah hari ketika dalam perjalanan ke Hospital Batu Gajah.

Pegawai Khas Allahyarham, Shaharudin Ahmad Sani berkata allahyarham yang tinggal di Changkat Larang, Batu Gajah menghadapi masalah kesihatan sekembalinya dari luar negara.

"Dalam lawatan beliau ke Taiwan sebelum ini, beliau pernah dimasukkan ke hospital Taiwan atas masalah gula yang tinggi.

Total Voters in this Area: 53,880

With current situation, can we expect a high majority from the Perakians? Definitely can.
