President steps up security after egg throwing incident.

President Liang has beefed up security after a heckler threw an egg at Secretary of Treasury Jack Liang King Hua.

Anti-Liang protesters mobilised themselves by trailing the President yesterday afternoon wherever he goes.

So the President was followed to the Northern Star Community Hall in South West Pyongjing. It was there when he met with a selection of constituents on his economic plan.

Something special happened this time around: Jack Liang who had accompanied the President, was hit in the forehead with a thrown egg. The perpetrator was taken away from the premises by security.

Although the stunt is nothing new in Bai Lungese politics, it still marked the first time a government official had been hit by a projectile.

Sunday's surgery was filled with positive announcements, as the President hinted that tax allowances for the middle class will be raised from the fiscal year 2014-15 onwards.

The announcement was overshadowed by the egg incident which left the Secretary of Treasury making light of the situation by claiming he wore track gear instead of his best suit.

President Liang interupted his Treasury namesake by saying that the incident would be dealt with according to Bai Lungese law. The egg thrower and 2 others were arrested shortly after being escorted.

Independent Commission Against Corruption budget to decrease by 10%.

Secretary of Treasury Jack Liang King Hua has announced that the budget for the Independent Commission Against Corruption will be slashed by 10% from the fiscal year 2015-16 onwards.

The annual budget for the anti-corruption body is BL$700 million for the years 2013-14 but will increase to BL$750 million for the fiscal years 2014-15. Mr Liang has said that the estimated annual budget given to the ICAC will be BL$675 million from 2015.

Mr Liang claimed that the budget is extremely bloated and the proper workable annual budget is BL$620 million. He has blamed senior managers of the ICAC for using the extra money to spend lavishly on holidays.

The head of ICAC Robert Ren Chidan has made a counter statement to Liang's accusations by claiming the cuts were political in an attempt to slowly abolish the body. The extra money he claims, was put to proper use from using the money to invest in more powerful servers to help process an ever increasing number of corruption claims from the public. By cutting the budget, he claims, it would prevent the body from investing in new technology to fight corruption sooner rather than later.

Jacky Gao embroiled in drugs scandal.

New Kinmen midfielder Jacky Gao is embroiled in another scandal involving alleged drug use.

A photo uploaded online on ThrushXpress shows Mr Gao inhaling what looks like a water pipe filled with drugs. The photo was taken by an unnamed friend of Mr Gao.

Mr Gao was quick to deny the accusations, claiming it was merely a pose and that there were no drugs placed inside the pipe.

It is not the first time the footballer has been involved in controversial incidents. In October 2013, Mr Gao was seen smoking a cigarettes whilst hanging outside a nightclub in Pyongjing.

Jacky Gao: I took cannabis but never inhaled.

New Kinmen midfielder Jacky Gao has further caused controversy by admitting that he took cannabis in the past.

Giving an interview for the Football magazine Kick it!, he admitted taking cannabis since he was 15 years old but has stopped short of saying he inhaled the drug. Mr Gao has also refuse to comment if he is still using the drug but did note he did last use cannabis back in 2011.

It is the latest series of controversies involving the midfielder after he was seen smoking a water pipe yesterday. He still continues to deny the accusations.

Fish market blaze kills ten.

A fire in a fish market in Port To has killed at least 10 people and injured at least five, officials say.

The fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday and spread to an area of around 500 sq m (0.2 sq miles), the local fire department said.

It took around five hours to extinguish the fire. Around 250 firefighters were at the scene, officials said.

Port To police said they were investigating the cause of the blaze.

The fire started at 02:30 local time Kwong Ming Fish Market in Southern Port To, the Port To fire department and Port To emergency management office said on their verified microblog accounts.

The city deployed 35 fire engines, and the fire was extinguished at 07:30, they added.

Search and rescue and clean-up operations were still under way at 8:30, the fire department said.

The market remained shut since Sunday morning, while a main road near the fish market was closed off in both directions, a spokesman to Mayor Terry Bee said.

Richard Yin will not renew contract with 8000 Match Room Sport.

2 time Bai Lungese Taekwondo Championship Richard Yin will not renew his contract with management company 8000 Match Room Sport, effectively allowing his contract to expire in March 2014.

Mr Yin has blamed personal conflicts with his managers at 8000, claiming that they were uncompromising with regards to work load. He claimed that his managers asked him to practice 14 hours a day even when he suffered a nasty cold. Upon learning of his illness, they asked him to practice 16 hours, claiming that more intense practice cures the cold instead of working less.

The management dismissed his claims, criticising Mr Yin for turning up late during practice sessions and assaulting his personal trainer.

Around the same time, Mr Yin has signed up with rival company Sport Dome and will receive a lucrative contract of $20 million over 4 years. This contract will be in effect as the same time as when his contract with 8000 expires.

20 dead in violent clash in New Xinjiang.

20 people have been killed in an extremely violent clash in the mainland's capital New Xinjiang, a mainland paper says.

The incident took place late on Sunday in the Northern area of the capital.

According to the New Xinjiang Daily, police were trying to make arrests at a Kashgar enclave but were attacked by Kashgars armed with knives, guns and improvised explosive devices.

Police shot dead 17 Kashgars, with 3 policemen also killed in the ensuing firefight. One police officer lost his right leg after a Kashgar threw a pipe bomb and successfully detonated it.

Negotiations between Bai Lungese leaders and their Kashgar counterparts proved to be virtually non-existant. President Liang has recently offered greater automony to the Kashgar people in certain regions of the mainland whilst Kashgar hardliners have repeatedly demanded the total expulsion of all Bai Lungese settlers and settlements. They routinely blame the Bai Lungese for the erosion of their culture.

In late October, 10 people were killed when a car ploughed into crowd and then burst into flames in Pyongjing Square. The Kashgar Resistance Group claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Kashgar man sets himself on fire, killing 6 people.

An ethnic Kashgar man has set himself on fire in a shopping mall, killing 6 people including himself, a Kazakhbari paper says.

The individual, who is believed to be a firebomber, ran into Jiama Shopping mall in Kazakhbari with his clothes on fire through shoppers.

The man fired at shoppers with an AK-74 who attempted to extinguish the flames and prevent the entire mall from catching fire.

Police were quick to be at the scene to put out the fire and subdue the bomber but he was dead at the scene almost immediately after shooting bystanders. The fire was put out 15 minutes after the attack.

In addition to himself, the bomber and gunman killed 5 people with the youngest victim aged only 3 years old.

The incident comes one day after police raided a Kashgar neighbourhood in New Xinjiang which left 20 people dead and 45 others injured

Serial robber Corey Bu dies in prison.

Serial robber 'Corey' Bu An has died in the Supermax prison in Bah'dun'car at the age of 84.

Born in For'af, East Dannistaan to Bai Lungese immigrants, Bu started his criminal career at a very young age. At the age of 10, he regularly stole bread to give to his parents. Bu got his English name from the shop in which he stole bread regularly from: Corey's Bakery. Bu left school without any formal qualifications at the age of 15.

Bu was a protege to several Bai Lungese gangs in the 40's before making a name for himself in the 50's.

A serial thief, Mr Bu had 500 counts of theft to his name, with the numbers peaking from 1947-1958.

Wanting to move from simple pick pocketing to grand scale robbery, Bu masterminded the 1960 South For'af Train robbery. He and 15 men robbed a train loaded with gold worth $3.5 million at the time and knocking out the driver with a crowbar. The driver, Jack Millwall, died later in hospital.

Mr Bu was caught a week later and was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1962 for theft and murder.

Bu was sent to High Security prison Bah'dun'car and had successfully escaped from prison on 10 occasions, the most recent attempt being back in 2001.

He famously escaped to the disputed Lord Howard Island (Jong Il Shan by Bai Lungese) in 1994 whilst in the middle of a small scale conflict between Bai Lungese and Dannistrian troops. Mr Bu famously ran into the direction of the Dannistrian, hoping to avoid instant execution from Bai Lungese troops.

Police thwart stadium bomb plot.

Police have stopped a man suspected of plotting to bomb a football stadium in New Xinjiang, the Xinjiang Daily says.

The whole incident took place in the city centre of the mainland capital, at 1235.

The plotter, who is an ethnic Kashgar, was asked in Mandarin Chinese to stop and be frisked but responded back in Kashgari before dashing in the opposite direction.

But his rucksack proved to be a burden to him and he was stopped with seconds.

Police have found nitroglycerin and fuse boxes, key ingredients of bomb making, in his rucksack along with a suicide note written in Kashgari.

Police boat sinking brings doubt from the public.

The public have expressed doubts over police's role in dealing with national security in the seas after one of their patrol boats sank into the waters.

The whole incident took place 5 west of Port Sung at 1600 today. None of the 5 men who were on board drowned but 2 of them were treated for head injuries.

Nanfu recalls 100 boats.

Boat manufacturing company Nanfu has ordered the recall of 100 TG-500 boats in the wake of the sinking of a police boat on Thursday afternoon.

Released in March 2012, the TG-500 models are the choice of boats used by the police as they are known for their manoeuvrability and high passenger capacity. They have formally commissioned their use since July of this year.

However, according a written statement by CEO Ti Yong, the TG-500 have a history of springing leaks from the stern, causing them to sink slowly.

Nanfu has assured buyers of their other products are safe and reliable and only affects the TG-500 models.

Winter solstice sees 50% increase in seafood.

With the bird flu scare still lingering in the minds of the public, most consumers have opted to buy seafood over poulty to celebrate the winter solstice.

This claim was backed when operators of poulty stalls have reported a 50% drop in their business compared to last year.

At the same time, the seafood industry reported an increase of 50% in their business as consumers avoided buying chicken after several influenza A virus human infection cases were reported in the media.

A chicken vendor, surnamed Chen, said fewer people are shopping at wet markets despite government officials testing chickens for the virus. Chen said he bought fewer chickens this year compared to last.

Quote:
 
'Customers ask me where I bought my chickens and I keep telling them they are locally bred. They then asked me how local before walking off in a huff. They don't trust chicken sellers and treat us like parasites.'


Secretary of Agriculture Kang Rixi said of the worry.

Quote:
 
'I think people should not worry because chickens imported into Bai Lung are safe. As long as they're cooked, it poses no more of a health risk than an egg.'

Police, military to patrol major cities in Bai Lung Dalu to anticipate 25th anniversary Dong Men bombing.

The police and the military will patrol every major city in Bai Lung Dalu as a precaution against potential rioting between ethnic Kashgars and Bai Lungese in the run up to the 25th anniversary of the Dong Men bombing.

In Christmas Day 1988, BL Flight 103 blew up mid-air killing all 259 on board and killing 11 more on the ground. It remains the deadliest aviation incident in Bai Lung Dalu.

Ardbeldaset Koskov Eul-Murgraii was one of two people convicted of the bombing. He was convicted in a show trial by then-Stalinist dictator Chen Jong Sun in January 1991.

Eul-Murgraii was eventually released from prison in 2009 on 'compassionate grounds'. He eventually died in May 2012.

Police are anticipating violent clashes from Kashgar and Bai Lungese youths and have been given the all clear by senior officers to use deadly force if necessary.

Local shop owners have had their premises fortified by installing wire screens on doors and windows to protect against rock and glass throwing.

President Liang gives 2nd televised Christmas Message: The roaring decade is emerging.

President Liang has delivered his Christmas Day speech to the nation on TV, radio and online. It is his second Christmas message overall.

Keeping the message concise and direct, President Liang's 2013 Message is 15 minutes long, the same duration as last year's Christmas Message.

President Liang praised the economic recovery within Bai Lung, crediting the private sector for much of the recovery. He has strongly criticised the Labour Party in the Assembly for blocking 'pro-economic growth' policies such as the selling off of public parks and their opposition to the repeal of the shark finning cap, in which he strongly supports.

Remained committed to reducing the budget deficit, the President informed viewers that the 2017 balanced budget is still on target.

Finishing off the speech, he announced that this decade is emerging as the roaring decade.

Christmas speeches by Presidents have been highly polarising in recent times, due to the lack of political unity amongst the public as a result of the fall of the Communist regimes. This years reaction to Liang's speech is no exception. Conservative reaction were mostly positive, giving their stamp of approval towards Liang's economic policies whilst left leaning groups have attacked Liang for ignoring the increasing income inequality in Bai Lung.

For the first time, Tien Ha Station has broadcasted an alternative Christmas Message that ran alongside the President's message. It featured hip-hop artist WEIBINGZ, rappiing about the state of the nation. A highly provactive message, the rapper compared Liang to past dictators and called for people to rise up and occupy the homes of the rich until poverty is eliminated.

72 people killed in Bai Lung Dalu Christmas Day riots.

72 people have been killed and hundreds more injured when Bai Lungese and Kashgar youths clashed with each other throughout the mainland on Christmas Day.

Despite strenuous measure imposed by police to ensure Christmas Day celebrations are held safely and without troubles, inebriated youths took to the streets and threw stones at their respective targets.

Kashgar rioters chanted out 'Ardbeldaset Koskov Eul-Murgraii', the man who was convicted for masterminding the Dong Men bombing on Christmas Day 1988. It marked the 25th anniversary of the atrocity. Bai Lungese youths counteracted the Kashgar chants with a blunt response of 'Death to all Kashgars'.

New Xinjiang was worst affected by the race riots with 35 people killed in the mainland capital alone. Over 5,000 businesses have been affected by the rioting despite installing wire screens on windows and doors. It is estimated that BL$150 million of damages were caused in the capital alone.

Critics of the police such as Kashgar spiritual leader Supoorimat Barkediev argue that the number of fatalities could have been significantly lower if police did not use deadly force to achieve their ends.

Christmas thieves go on robbing spree.

Burgulars went on a Christmas Day and Boxing Day spree entering at least 20 homes in the affluent Liu Sha District in Pyongjing, making off with valuables worth more than BL$1 million.

So far, two men have been arrested after equipment used for house-breaking was found in a van which one of the two men were driving.

Of the most high profile burglaries in Liu Sha District, the $5 million home of Langham-Bu CEO Peter Bu Yimin was burgled.

The culprits made off with jewelry worth BL$25,000, along with BL$1,500 in cash.

The burglary was discovered at 10.10pm. Police said a window at the premises had been forced open.

In another block not far from Liu Sha, raiders made off with BL$150,000 in cash and jewelry from another house.

Police received a report at 10.20pm and found a door had been forced open, only 10 minutes after the burglary of Mr Bu's home.

Footage from CCTV cameras suggests those responsible are two men in their 20s with shaven heads.

Both men were wearing black attire and balaclavas. After the 10:30 report, there were no further incidents on Christmas Day. Police have reported 15 such cases on Christmas Day.

On Boxing Day, police have reported 4 incidents of break ins, presumably committed by the same men. Extra police were sent to patrol the area to look out for the suspects.

At 11.40pm, a police patrol saw two men climbing into a flat at Jinbali Garden on Shouhan Road and went after them. But a search of the area failed to locate the suspects.

However, they managed to intercept a black van on Poli Road. Two men in their 20s both ran away from the vehicle but were both caught and detained by police.

A hydraulic clamp, hat and gloves were found in the van.

Police have refused to give any conclusions as to whether the two men were solely responsible for the 20 break-ins.

President Liang: Chen Jong Sun birthday tributes will never happen under my watch.

President Liang has vowed never to create a National Holiday for the late Stalinist dictator Chen Jong Sun.

Speaking to Kyren Wu on 20 Minute Politics, he has spoken against a notion to make the 1st of January, Chen's birthday, an official holiday.

Quote:
 
'The 1st of January must be a date that is closely associated with the start of a New Year in Western context but can never be a national holiday for the most brutal leader that Bai Lung has ever had. His crimes against humanity are abhorrent and I find it hard to comprehend as to why there are people on the very peripheral parts of society who revere Chen as some kind of hero. I never sanction an official birthday tribute to Chen under my watch and I hope my sucessors find some sense and never to glamourise this brutal dictator. '

-President Liang


His stinging comments come after Marxist Party Jonnie Ting had announced that he would put forward a bill that would make the 1st of January a paid holiday. It is highly unlikely to pass in the Lower House due to heavy opposition from Labour and Conservatives.

President Liang: No plans to lift New-Years Day curfew.

President Liang has shot down wide-spread rumours that the New-Years Day curfew will be lifted for 2014.

The New-Years Day curfew was imposed by then-President Richard Im in 2009 with the rare support of the Conservative controlled Lower House. Despite various challenges levelled towards the law by numerous civil liberty bodies such as Bai Lungese Civil Liberties Union (BLCLU), the High Court has consistently upheld Im's law. The most recent challenge against the curfew was Wei Vs Liang. Voting unanimously, the High Court rejected Korey Wei's case for repeal of the curfew.

2014 wiil mark the late Stalinist leader's 95th birthday. Chen died on September 11th 2006, aged 87.

President Liang has told BLCTV News that a repeal of the ban would foster hatred and division amongst the population.

Quote:
 
"I do not favour lifting the curfew on New-Years Day because it would simply foster hate, division and fear amongst the vast majority of the public. The tyrannical policies of Chen Jong Sun are still fresh amongst those who went through his ordeal and it is those lying on the peripheral of Bai Lungese society who wish to stir up unfettered chaos to our free nation."

-President Liang


Marxist Party leader Jonnie Ting has told followers of his party to celebrate the leader's birthday indoors, circumventing the curfew's ban on public celebration of the leader.

Kashgar female suicide bomber kills 30.

A Kashgar female suicide bomber has donated a bomb inside New Xinjiang West Station, killing 30 people including herself.

CCTv images shows an ethnic Kashgar woman carrying a backpack and a duffel bag and approaching the front entrance of the station. The CCTV footage, taken from the rooftop of Kong Hu Banking, fully captures the explosion.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attacks although the Kashgar Liberation Front (KLF) are known to use female suicide bombers as they are less likely to be frisked by police.

According to police reports, 30 people, including the bomber herself, have died at the scene of the blast and 100 more have been injured.

President Liang has released a statement condemning the blast. He has called for the Bai Lungese not to retaliate against the ordinary Kashgar people.

Bai Lungese public split on New-Years Day curfew.

The Bai Lungese public are sharply divided on the New-Years Day curfew on every citizen from 10PM on 31st December to 7AM on 1st January, according to a BLCTV News poll.

48% said that the curfew is fully justified compared to 47% who think otherwise. Critics of the curfew feel that it is simply aimed at left-wing activists who openly celebrate the birthday of the late Stalinist dictator Chen Jong Sun. New-Years Day 2014 marks the 95th birthday of the brutal dictator.

President Liang has no intentions of lifting the curfew, maintaining it is for security purposes.

As with the previous 4 years, the start of 2014 began with a whisper. No fireworks were launched in compliance with the curfew laws.

President Liang to strengthen curfew laws?

President Liang is strongly considering plans to strengthen curfew laws during the New-Years, a political magazine reports.

According to an interview with a Liang intern on the Political Standard, he claims that the President will ask the Assembly of Bai Lung to make amendments to the existing rule which requires everybody to return home by 10PM on New-Years Eve and lasts until 7AM on New-Years Day.

The proposed amendment would increase the duration of the curfew for 3 days. From 10PM-7AM 7AM starting on New-Years Eve and ending on the 3rd of January, those considered 'essential personel' i.e. police, fire fighters and ambulance crew, would be exempt.

Civil rights groups claim that strengthening the laws would curtail individual liberties, damaging the international image of Bai Lung. A more stringent curfew would result in a surge of arrests made on the homeless who have no choice but to sleep on the street. This year, an estimated 30,000 homeless were reportedly arrested by police.

Conservative MLAs have called the current policy 'too moderate' and has called for tougher curfew laws such as increased duration and stringent penalties.

Darrell Ai Sha not welcome in Qibin

Controversial Conservative MLA Darrell Ai Sha is declared persona not grata in the town of Qibin, Northern Bai Lung.

According to a local paper, the ban was issued after the outspoken backbencher insulted Mayor Joey Lim. Lim, who is affiliated with the Marxist party, made a compelling argument with Mr Ai on a state controlled economy.

Mr Ai was reportedly livid with the ideas espoused by Mayor Lim and denounced him as a Communist. Espousing the ideas of limited government and free enterprise, Mr Ai told the Mayor to travel back in time and hoped that he would never see him again.

Passer-by and the mayor were instantly shocked by his inflammatory comments.

Mayor Lim told the media that Mr Ai is 'no longer welcome'.

Wang Dae film gets mixed reception.

The Way to Pyongjing, the latest film directed by Wang Dae gets a mixed reception from both the general public and from movie critics.

The main synopsis of the film revolves around an impoverished 10 year boy from Chen Tai Soon making a journey to the country's capital Pyongjing to find hope and prosperity after running away from home to avoid his abusive and alcoholic father. Set in 1988 during the Chenite regime, little Wu finds an array of characters along the way.

The film has drawn polarising reactions, some praising it for the surreal photography and the performance of He Lili, the child actor who plays little Wu. Others gave scathing reviews, lambasting the film for being cliched and predictible.

Wang Dae has spoken in recent intertviews that he is proud of his work and film critics should not be the judge of history.

Quote:
 
'If they are the judges of history, then they should become fortune tellers and make millions through this profession.'

Pool player fined for swearing.

The Bai Lungese Billiards Association has fined controversial 10-ball pool player Dale Dae Jin for using profanity during a press conference.

In 15th December, Mr Jin was beaten in the quarter-finals of the 2013 Grand Prix Pool. Despite being 5-3 up, he lost against his opponent, Stewart Bin Hanmu by a score of 10-7. At the post-match conference, he sarcastically called Bin a 'top class A^^hole' for his lack of professionalism. Mr Bin went on to win the title by defeating defending champion Maurice Chen Yuping by a score of 20-18.

Mr Jin, who is ranked 3 in the ranking order of merit, will be fined BL$250 for his usage of profanity and docked 250 points.

Nearly 25,000 cases of corruption during 2013.

Almost 15,000 officials suspected of corruption were investgated in less than 25,000 cases throughout 2013, BLCTV reports.

Of the 24,955 cases, as many as 19,050 cases were briberies, with officials pocketing a total of BL$1.2 billion between 11,000 officials. The remainder of the cases which involved officials embroiled in sex scandals and theft of government property. The statistics were released from the ICAC, the country's leading anti-corruption body and the figures were sanctioned by the High Court of Bai Lung.

This figure is lower compared to 2012, when 29,000 cases of corruption were reported by the ICAC. Both figures are said to be lower compared to the Chenite era. Historians of leader Chen Jong Sun said that an average of 250,000 cases of corruption take place every year through his 44 year tenure, with the number peaking at nearly half a million in 1988.

Despite the high numbers of corruption cases, President Liang has taken a hard line against graft since coming to power in August 2012, warning that corruption could damage the nation as a whole.

Li An Ying: 'Increase salaries of officials'

Former PM and Labour opposition leader Li An Ying has called for the Liang administration to increase salaries of officials nationwide in a bid to curb the high numbers of corruption cases.

Mr Li has advocated increasing the average salary for all officials from BL$30,000 to $45,000 per annum, an increase of 50%. He has also called for Treasury of the Secretary Jack Liang to increase the budget of the ICAC to BL$750 million instead of going with the reduced budget of BL$675 million this year.

The call to increase the salaries of all officials throughout Bai Lung comes in the wake of the ICAC report which reported a total of nearly 25,000 cases of corruption by 15,000 officials, most of the cases involved bribery.

In recent times, a number of officials in the country have complained of the relatively low salaries they are receiving.

Giving interviews to various political magazines anonymously such as the Political Standard, they often claim that they used their positions to supplement their salary with 'tea money'.

In the 3rd January edition of the Political Standard, the anonymous official claimed that his peers lived by the saying 'Méiyou qián, méiyou chá.' or 'No money, no tea', referring to constituents who required an appointment with them, accompanied with a cup of tea. He would often ask his constituents to pay BL$25 just to see him.

The calls to increase the salary is generally supported by the left, seeing the salary increase as a basic fundamental human right for all public sector workers. The political right generally opposes the salary increase, claiming it is unfair to private sector workers.

President Liang has yet to comment on Mr Li's statement.
