缅甸僧侣适时的回返红尘行动
自1988年缅甸僧侣与学生起义失败，而1990年的大选成绩又不受缅甸军人政府承认后，缅甸军人政府以武力制裁国家的政治僵局，便一直持续到现在。 数十年来，该国老百姓纷纷逃离该国，而该国在野党领袖昂山舒吉十多年来都因坚持政治立场，而徘徊在自由与软禁之间。 多年来，国际社会对于如何协助缅甸的人民脱离困境的立场都不一致。当西方国家对缅甸实施经济制裁时，亚洲经济强国与东盟国家便纷纷与该国军事政权合作，前往缅甸投资，唯恐分不到该国的经济杯羹的时候，破坏了西方国家经济制裁缅甸的效应。 在利字当头下，许多外国人都被缅甸军人政府的经济幌子所蒙骗，他们甚至合理化缅甸军人政府的许多霸权与滥权的做法。 记得今年中，“东盟关怀缅甸民主化的国会议员核心委员会”（AIPMC）组织东盟国家的国会议员拜访泰缅边界的难民营，笔者成功地说服本国一位上议员参与此行。这位仁兄与国内的缅甸高僧与大使的关系良好，还多次进出缅甸，并曾在经济上资助该国的建校与建筑庙宇的费用。

林镇耀批评邝志胜在李延年组屋课题
(吉隆坡28日讯）士布爹区国会议员助理林镇耀批评邝志胜在处理李延年花园组屋课题上言辞前后矛盾，侮辱组屋居民智慧。 他说，所有曾经阅读上个星期刊登在各华文报的报道，都读到邝志胜在士布爹马华区会主席蔡崇继等人召开的记者会里， 说他已经收集了该区90%居民的资料，他将协助居民申请分层地契，而不需依赖发展商。 “但是，当郭素沁昨天在记者会上向媒体澄清只有发展商可以为居民申请分层地契后，邝志胜却又改口说他从未说他要为 居民申请分层地契。” 林镇耀说，“这种前后不一的言论，反映出邝志胜在玩弄李延年花园组屋的居民，他根本就不是认真的为人民做事， 而是刻意利用有关课题来破坏郭素沁国会议员的名誉，和她为当地居民向发展商争取权益和争取组屋分层地契的努力。” 同时担任行动党郊外岭支部主席的林镇耀，也批评邝志胜在日前郭素沁所安排的李延年花园组屋发展商与居民的对话会上， 刻意不请自来的扰乱会场，故意歪曲发展商和郭素沁的解说。他说，邝志胜此举已经引起许多与会居民的反感。 他呼吁邝志胜在处理居民的问题方面能展现君子风度，并呼吁士布爹马华区会主席蔡崇继能劝告邝志胜自制， 以免影响士布爹马华在地方上的声誉。 林镇耀
