Barisan Nasional candidate for the Kuala Terengganu parliamentary by-election Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh took his oath as senator for a second term in the Dewan Negara Tuesday. Also sworn in as a senator was Terengganu Wanita Umno vice-chief Fatimah Hamat.

I don’t how the goverment to pay his salary for such a short stint as Senator . This  is because his appointment as senator may not be for long as he will have to relinquish the post to contest in the Kuala Terengganu by-election. Nomination day is on Jan 6 and by 5th, he’ll has to step down from the post.

PAS Member of Parliament for Pokok Sena Mahfuz Omar won his defamation suit against Utusan Melayu Berhad and was granted RM120,000 by the High Court here today as damages for libellous words published against him. Judicial Commissioner Mohd Yazid Mustafa, in his decision, held that the words published in the article in the Utusan Malaysia newspaper, headlined “Demonstrasi-Mahfuz isytihar bersama Keadilan” on March 4, 2001, are libellous with the intention to lower Mahfuz’s reputation.
