Where is DAP's stand on hudud?

Wanita Umno has challenged DAP leaders to openly support Pas' effort to set up an Islamic state and implement "hudud" laws.

Its information chief Datuk Hamidah Osman claimed that DAP was trying to portray itself as Islam-friendly party when campaigning for Pas candidate in Galas, here.

"This is the right time for DAP to make their stand on the matter," he told reporters at Bandar Lama MCA operations centre here. Also present was Bandar Lama MCA branch chief Raymond Ho Eng Cheong.

Hamidah said DAP had been distributing leaflets, "Roket Baru", which portrayed the party as Islam friendly and its secretary-general Lim Guan Eng as a leader who emulates Muslim caliph Umar Abdul Aziz.

"If they really support Islam, they should say it openly. Unfortunately, DAP leaders are known for their ability to say different things to the Malays and non-Malays," she said.

Hamidah also said that former Perak Menteri Besar from Pas, Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, should stop from making false accusations against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

"He's been telling the Chinese here that the Prime Minister and Umno does not appreciate them and are not interested to get their votes.

"It's not true and we will use our machinery to explain the real situation," she said.      

On the Chinese support to BN in Galas,  Ho claimed that the percentage had increased to 85 per cent, almost similar to what BN had enjoyed before 2008.

There are 2,317 Chinese voters in Galas, which is about 20 per cent of the total 11,553 eligible voters.

Econjaya: Pavillion of Gua Musang

Contrary to the services and food business, clothing, and basic personal stuff are however sold cheaper than the usual price in the city.  Customers are spoilt for choice and the prices are usually affordable and within the budget of many.

For example, you can fetch a decent t-shirt at only RM10, and pants at about RM20 plus. Children schoolbags are tagged at RM6.90 to RM10...depending on the design and size. I have seen the same bags sold in KL for RM20!

Econjaya usually opens at 10am and closes at 10pm. You can find almost everything in it from clothing, shoes, biscuits, drinks and many more. A typical Econsave supermarket. In Gua Musang, it's almost everything the locals need.

Sometimes, less is more. Of course, if you are the brand-concious type of a person, then you wouldn't agree. But if you are okay with an average quality, then it's not so bad. You'll live...:-)

Also, along the shophouses opposite the Econjaya, there are tents set up selling blankets, nasi lemak kukus, t-shirts and even a A&W trailer for the convenience of the visitors and locals especially during the peak time of the upcoming by-election.

Once you get used to it, Gua Musang can be your next Pavillion if you want...:-)
