Article 153
of the Constitution of Malaysia grants the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia) responsibility for “safeguard[ing] the special position of the ‘Malays’(see note) and natives of any of the States of Sabah and Sarawak and the legitimate interests of other communities” and goes on to specify ways to do this, such as establishing quotas for entry into the civil service, public scholarships and public education.
Article 153 is one of the most controversial articles in the Malaysian constitution. Critics consider it to create an unnecessary and racialist distinction between Malaysians of different ethnic backgrounds, because it has led to the implementation of affirmative action policies which only benefit the Bumiputra, who comprise a majority of the population. Technically, discussing the repeal of Article 153 is illegal[citation needed]—even in Parliament, although it was drafted as a temporary provision to the Constitution. Despite this prohibition on discussion, the article is heatedly debated both privately and publicly among Malaysians. Opposition groups, especially the Democratic Action Party[citation needed], are often against the implementation of the article although ostensibly maintaining support for it. Nevertheless, the article is viewed as a sensitive matter by many, with politicians who are in favour or oppose it often being labelled as racist.

He was the ancestor of (Marcus) Caeionius Varus (225 or 230 – after 285), PUR in 284 and 295, married to (Rufia C.f. Procula) (b. 235) - perhaps daughter of Caius Rufius C.f. Proculus (200 or 205 – after 236), Cur. Oper. in 236, and wife (Publilia) (b. 220), sister of (Caius Rufius Festus) (b. 235 or 240), (c.v. of Volsinii) and maternal niece of (Lucius Publilius) (b. 225), in turn perhaps the father of Lucius Publilius Volusianus, Suffect Consul of Rome at the end of the 3rd century. His son and daughter in law were perhaps the parents of (Marcus) Caeionius Proculus, Suffect Consul of Rome in 289, of C.

The RS 160 is a two-part system that comes with wireless headphones, powered by a couple of NiMH batteries and a transmitter that connects to your output device. It’s very simple to set up as the whole system is plug and play.
This compact and portable transmitter utilises Kleer's uncompressed digital wireless audio transmission. It offers an effective range of 20m (line of sight), and can serve up to four pairs of headphones.
Soundwise, the bass delivery is rousing and full-bodied while the closed, snug fit around your ears effectively isolates outside noise.

Heinkel-162 Hitler's Reich achieved notoriety for the advanced weapons created by German researchers, such as missiles, guided bombs, and jet fighters. While these weapons were in most cases too little and too late to affect the course of the war, they remain an interesting subject. One of these interesting weapons was the Heinkel "He-162 Volksjaeger (People's Fighter)", a lightweight jet fighter designed to be produced cheaply in large quantity.  |
