Anwar Arah PAS Matikan Gerakan Hasan Ali

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 12:15 PM PST

Dalam pada PAS heboh mengatakan Hassan Ali tidak akan mendatangkan sebarang carik dan luka kepada politik PAS – parti itu nampaknya bersusah payah membuat kenyataan media; dikumpulkan seluruh saf PAS Selangor bagi berdepan dengan Hassan Ali.

Tajuk kenyataan kepada media amat mudah dan senang faham:-

- PAS tidak takut langsung dengan jelajah Hassan Ali;
- PAS Selangor berada di dalam keadaan yang terbaik;
- tidak ada sebab masyarakat Melayu perlu risau dengan hakikat PAS
tidak lagi menjadi 'tokan besar' dalam menjaga agama;
- hubungan baik dalam saf PAS Selangor akan terus terpelihara;
- Hassan Ali tidak membawa apa-apa kebaikan kepada PAS;
- Hassan Ali seorang lelaki kecewa yang tidak mendapat tempat;

Maka, dikeluarkan segala macam fakta songsang yang boleh menjadikan perkara-perkara di atas diterima pakai oleh orang PAS secara keseluruhannya.

Ironinya, menurut seorang 'pekerja' di PAS Selangor – ini semua kenyataan media yang sudahpun diusahakan oleh pihak lain. Pejabat PAS Selangor menerima 'fax' draf kenyataan media malam kelmarin. Bahasanya lebih kasar. Termasuk menggelar Hassan Ali sebagai 'pecacai politik' UMNO – pengangkat najis UMNO dan sebagainya. Menurut kakitangan terbabit, fax tersebut berasal daripada Pejabat Penasihat Ekonomi Negeri Selangor. Sebelum ini ada juga beberapa surat yang difaks daripada nombor yang sama.

Kenapa yang Anwar pula jadi 'GENTAR' dan 'CEMAS' dengan Hassan Ali? Apakah Anwar lupa bahawa Hassan Ali adalah ulama' pertama yang berada di rumahnya selepas beliau dipecat pada tahun 1998? Apakah Anwar lupakan jasa Hassan Ali yang berjaya meyakinkan PAS sekitar tahun sama bahawa Anwar suci, bersih lagi maksum? Sudah lupa?

Nampaknya, Hassan Ali akan menjadi mangsa serangan 'bersiri' PAS (dengan arahan Jeneral Anwar Ibrahim). Tukang tembak yang sudah dikenal pasti: Dr Rani, Khalid Samad dan sesekali akan diikuti oleh Azmin Ali.

Azmin dikatakan akan MEMBOGELKAN Hassan Ali sebogel-bogelnya – termasuk beberapa permohonan yang dikatakan berkepentingan peribadi
Hassan Ali kepada MB sebelum ini.

Simpati dengan Hassan Ali; nampaknya dia seorang kena berlawan dengan dua parti sekaligus. Masak.

Ada yang kata, Anwar jadi cemas kerana ada 'benda' yang Hassan Ali tahu – tetapi tidak pernah didedahkan kepada umum. Kalau didedahkan…maka maruah Anwar akan terburai sekali lagi. Apa dia agaknya rahsia Anwar yang ada dalam poket Hassan Ali gamaknya….kita kena tunggu lah nampaknya.

Arahan Anwar supaya dilakukan 'character assassination' kepada Hassan Ali akan dipikul oleh PAS Selangor…

Masyarakatlah harus menilai, di tahap mana PAS pada ketika ini.-

Malaysians!

Read Anwar's interview with WSJ properly, every line and every single word he said. No where in the story did he speak of the 'two state solution', a reference to Israel and Palestine.

He even said what he told WSJ journalist is in line with Malaysia's and UN policy with regards to recognising the state of Israel and Palestine.

He lied again. This is NOT in the WSJ story. Now that he is under attacks, he is changing his stand.

He claimed on Saturday, "I stressed that the needs and rights of the Palestinian people must be guarded and that includes the right to their country and not to be victimised. I also stated that if this is met then Israel's rights should be respected".

"I stressed that the needs and rights of the Palestinian people must be guarded and that includes the right to their own country and to not be victimised. I also stated that if this is met then Israel's rights should also be respected," he said in a statement after some parties lambasted him.

Earlier Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister and Umno deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin demanded Anwar clarify his words as reported in the WSJ, saying the latter's remarks ignored the plight of the Palestinians.

"Is this the stand of the the opposition Pakatan coalition, when the government does not even have diplomatic relations with Israel," he said, adding that Barisan Nasional regrets what Anwar had said.

The Malaysian government, he said, was also very disappointed that the peace talks between Israel and Palestine had yet to bear fruit although they had been going on for a long time.

Before that, Umno Youth accused Anwar of defending 'Israel's Zionist regime' over his reported comments, saying it was Palestinians who needed protection, defending and humanitarian aid after being oppressed by Israel.

Umno Youth's international bureau chief Ahmad Zaki Zahid said the PKR de facto leader's comments reflected 'his efforts to support certain friends who stand firmly behind the Zionist regime'.

I have read the WSJ story, not once but a few times but found nothing about the 'two state solution'.

Let's hear more from him...

Perpaduang Dah Bagi Signal Nik Aziz Bila Nak Blah

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 05:30 AM PST

Sebelum ini Hj Hadi pernah menyuarakan beliau tidak berminat untuk menjadi Perdana Menteri,maka punahlah harapan PAS untuk menjadi pemimpin nombor satu negara. Acuh tak cuh terpaksalah mengaku Anwarlah yang paling layak untuk memimpin negara walau pun jauh disudut hati betapa rendahnya martabat PAS terpaksa tuduk kepada manusia yang terkenal dengan masaalah moral.

Kemudian kita perhatikan dengan Nik Aziz,beliau telah mengambil pendirian tidak akan melepaskan kerusi empuk menteri besar selagi nyawa dikandung badan,Kelantan katanya masih memerlukan kepimpinan Ulama. Maka Nik Aziz tidak harus bersara daripada politik.

Apa yang tak kena dengan kenyataan Hadi kali ini?Beliau berkata sudah terlalu lama menjadi YB. Alasan beliau kerana sudah lebih 30 tahun menjadi wakil rakyat.Katanya jika tidak bertanding ia memberi peluang untuk dirinya berkempen diseluruh negara untuk PAS.

Bukankah sebelum ini ada cadangan mendesak agar Nik Aziz mengundur diri daripada bertanding PRU dan berpendapat Nik Aziz boleh keseluruh negara untuk berkempen.

Apa yang Pisau nampak Hadi seolah memberi signal kepada Nik Aziz,sudah sudahlah tu bagi orang lain pulak .Masakan tidak seorang Presiden parti sanggup mengundur diri untuk tidak bertanding didalam pilihanraya dan menyerahkan nasib dirinya kepada parti menentukan sama ada beliau boleh bertanding atau tidka,sedangkan seperti yang kita sedia maklum segala keputusan parti ditangan beliau sendiri.

Jika korang nak tahu,Nik Aziz ibarat fosil purba yang cuma layak dipamerkan di muzium sahaja,apa kan daya dia mau lagi tahta selagi nyawa dikandung badan.

Hadi Tawar Diri Tidak Bertanding
MARANG – Presiden Pas, Datuk Seri Abdul hadi Awang mungkin tidak akan bertanding pada Pilihan Raya Umum ke- 13 (PRU13), yang dijangka akan diadakan dalam waktu terdekat.

Menurutnya, keputusan itu dibuat berdasarkan kepada khidmatnya yang disifatkan sudah terlalu lama menyandang jawatan sebagai Yang Berhormat.

"Sudah lebih 30 tahun saya bergelar Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) iaitu bermula pada 1982 dan sudah berbelas tahun sebagai Ahli Parlimen," katanya.

Abdul Hadi berkata, sekiranya tidak bertanding mana-mana kerusi, beliau boleh bergerak ke seluruh negara untuk memantapkan parti.

Bagaimanapun, Adun Rhu dan Ahli Parlimen Marang ini menawarkan bertanding satu kerusi sahaja sekiranya dipilih sebagai calon dalam PRU13 nanti.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada Sinar Harian dalam satu temu bual eksklusif ketika ditemui di rumahnya selepas menyampaikan ceramah di Masjid Rusila, Marang, di sini.

"Terpulang kepada parti untuk menilai kerusi mana yang sesuai untuk saya sama ada Dun atau Parlimen," katanya yang menyerahkan kepada keputusan parti untuk menentukan sama ada beliau bertanding atau sebaliknya.

Beliau menganggap ramai pemimpin pelapis dalam parti itu yang boleh membantu membawa hala tuju parti pada masa depan.

Katanya, pembabitannya dalam politik sezaman dengan bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

"Saya kebetulan mengikuti parti sejak zaman Tun, zaman generasi kedua (Pak Lah) sampailah kini.

"Saya diberi amanah kepimpinan dan kerusi pada usia terlalu muda, saya menjadi Naib Presiden dalam usia 30-an, sudah terlalu lama," katanya.

Sementara itu, beliau turut menolak desas-desus anaknya Mohammad Khalil Abdul Hadi, 30an, bakal dicalonkan dalam PRU13.

"Biar dia jadi ahli biasa buat masa ini," katanya -sinar

Kaum India Sedar Anwar Pembawa Perpecahan,Melayu?

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 02:30 AM PST

Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Kuil Sri Subramaniam Swami Devasthanam di Sungai Petani hari ini membuat laporan polis bagi membantah kehadiran Ketua Pembangkang Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim di kuil itu pada 7 Februari depan sempena perayaan Thaipusam.

Pengerusi Pengurusan kuil itu S. Dorai Singam berkata pihak kuil membantah sekeras-kerasnya kehadiran Anwar bagi menjaga ketenteraman awam selain memelihara keselamatan masyarakat Hindu pada perayaan Thaipusam, yang ditakuti boleh terjadi perkara tidak diingini.

"Bimbang kerana lebih 100,000 orang akan hadir...apa akan berlaku sekiranya pergaduhan antara parti politik. Siapa akan bertanggungjawab terhadap keselamatan orang ramai dan penganut," katanya kepada pemberita selepas membuat laporan itu di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Kuala Muda.

Dorai Singam berkata pihaknya juga tidak menerima sebarang permohonan daripada PKR berhubung kehadiran ketua umum parti itu ke kuil berkenaan selain e-mel yang menyatakan Ketua Pembangkang itu akan hadir memberi ceramah di kuil itu.

"Mereka tidak memohon kebenaran daripada pihak pengurusan kuil. Untuk ceramah dan masuk kuil kita tidak akan benarkan...hari itu hari keagamaan untuk sembahyang, bukan untuk ceramah-ceramah politik dan kita tidak mahu apa-apa ceramah dalam kawasan kuil sebab jawatankuasa tak jemput dan bantah sekeras-kerasnya," katanya.

Katanya beliau berharap pihak polis mengambil tindakan sewajarnya bagi menghalang kehadiran Anwar ke kuil bagi mengelakkan perkara yang tidak diingini berlaku.

Malaysia Election Around the Corner?

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 01:41 AM PST

With Sodomy II out of the way, look forward to March polls -- maybe or maybe not

With the Sodomy II trial of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim now out of the way, it is probably time to start thinking seriously about Malaysia's 13th general election, which most observers -- but not all -- believe will be called in March, during school holidays when the classrooms are empty.

Despite euphoria on the part of the three-party opposition coalition, the end of the trial doesn't mean that Anwar's troubles are over. One political observer in Kuala Lumpur told Asia Sentinel that the United Malays National Organization, the lead party in the ruling national coalition, will probably do its best to discredit him in other ways.

Although he was declared not guilty, the image of the opposition leader as a sexual deviant has probably been planted in a lot of Malaysian minds. Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, Anwar's accuser, appears to have no intention of going away. He has asked the attorney general to appeal the acquittal and is tweeting and texting his outrage and innocence to anyone who will read them. UMNO could well put him on the trail to demand denied justice at every campaign stop.

However, Umno and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak carry plenty of baggage of their own. A long series of scandals within the party bear the hallmarks of being pushed by various Umno factions to cripple each other. That isn't to say the snap poll won't come off. But there are headwinds. The party held its annual general assembly in December and was expected to come out fighting. There was plenty of harsh rhetoric that made it sound as if Umno is besieged on all sides by threatening foes from both inside and outside the country – particularly from Christians, and particularly Chinese ones.

Najib himself concluded the conclave by pounding the war drums in stark terms, outlining a dark future if the opposition were to win, saying that: "This is the fate that will befall us if Umno loses power. Who will uphold the symbol of Islam? Who is capable of protecting the rights and agenda of the Malays? Who will continue to honour our Malay rulers?"

Massive scandal derails party conclave
Almost simultaneously with the annual general assembly, however, Umno found itself in a massive scandal involving the family of Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, the head of Wanita Umno, the women's wing of the party and minister for Women, Welfare and Community Development. It has been impossible to wish the scandal away as a ploy by the opposition because it was exposed in September by Malaysia's Auditor General.

As some observers have pointed out, it is also damaging because it involves agriculture, and particularly cattle – something Umno's rural constituency can understand in all of its ominous implications. The matter involves the National Feedlot Corporation, which was given RM250 million (US80 million) in a government soft loan and was established to slaughter as many as 60,000 cattle a year by halal, or religiously accepted, methods. However, NFC has never slaughtered 10 percent of the projected total and has since scaled back its target to 8,000 head but hasn't been able to meet that target either. The agreement to establish the company, made when Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was prime minister, was okayed by Muhyiddin Yassin, the agriculture minister at the time and now the deputy prime minister.

None of Shahrizat's family had any experience in cattle production or beef supply prior to the establishment of the company. It appears that much of the money—as much as RM131 million -- was poured into things that had nothing to do with feeding cattle but instead into cars, condos and travel, among other things.

The matter has been seized upon with a good deal of glee by the opposition. One Malay businessman source said "there may be other revelations as to how the money for cattle was used which may implicate the number 2 guy." That is Muhyiddin Yassin, the deputy prime minister. "This thing has been a lifeline for the opposition who are sitting on a thumb drive full of info which they are revealing in bits and pieces," he said.

Intermixed with this are reports that both Muhyiddin's and Najib's private secretaries have been accepting funds of at least RM10,000 per month from private parties for reasons that are unclear. The allegations against each – complete with pictures of checks -- are suspected of having been leaked by the Muhyiddin and Najib factions against each other. There reportedly is yet another massive scandal waiting in the wings, involving hundreds of millions of dollars in connection with the Iskandar project in Johor across the strait from Singapore. Documents are believed to have been made available to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission that are said to implicate former lieutenants of former Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Some sources have said the Shahrizat matter and shortcomings by other ministers argues for a cabinet reshuffle prior to any election. Certainly, Shahrizat is expected to be dropped as a candidate in the next election, whenever it is to be held, and that probably her husband will be charged at some point.

Continuing allegations of corruption have cost the country four places in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, dropping it to a still relatively respectable 60th. But it is the third straight year the country has slipped in the perceptions index – all three occurring on Najib's watch. Although the mainstream media, all of which are owned by the component parties of the Barisan have tended to downplay the corruption reports, it is estimated that 41 percent of Malaysians now have access to the Internet – and a huge flock of opposition bloggers and websites, some of which, such as Malaysian Insider and Malaysiakini, are very professionally produced, and which pull no punches on reporting corruption and government mismanagement.

Part of the problem for Umno, a party source says, is getting divisional warlords to make way for winnable candidates in races that have become competitive now that the opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition has become a genuine movement rather than a ragtag group of parties cobbled together by Anwar. These are old hands that refuse to give away to younger, more attractive and educated candidates.

It is a longstanding problem borne out by the fact that Rais Yatim, the information minister and an Umno Supreme Council member, said after the December conclave that those not selected must refrain from sabotaging the party. It is significant enough that the Mahathir wing of the party is contemplating demanding that party members sign a loyalty oath. A Penang district member, Musa Sheikh Fadzir, proposed the establishment of a General Election Disciplinary Committee to take action against those who go against the party in the upcoming polls.

Added to this are concerns that the party isn't appealing strongly enough to young, urban Malays, turned off by infighting and corruption, who have been drifting towards Parti Islam se-Malaysia, or PAS, which has rebranded itself as a secular party, and to a lesser extent to Anwar's Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

According to the Neilsen rating agency, Malaysia's highest Internet usage is recorded among the young -- of people aged 20-24: 57 percent use the Internet regularly, spending an average of 22.3 hours online per week. Despite considerable publicity in recent weeks over a demand that the party return to its Islamic roots by former executive committee member Hasan Ali and his confederate, Nasharudin Mat Isa, a former PAS deputy president who was supplanted by the new moderate team, other sources say the party remains perhaps the most disciplined in the three-party opposition.

The biggest of the three opposition parties, PAS is continuing to work to appeal to urban voters. It is a dramatic illustration of the change in Malaysian society. According to the CIA World Factbook, 72 percent of the country's 28.7 million people are now living in cities. Although Malays make up the preponderance of the other 28 percent, the rural roots of both Umno and PAS are vanishing – at an annual rate of 2.4 percent. Agriculture now comprises only 13 percent of the workforce, with industry, 36 percent, and services, 51 percent, making up the rest.

As evidence of the racial divisions in the country, a poll by the Merdeka Centre taken last year said 61 percent of ethnic Malays believe the country is going in the right direction as opposed to only 31 percent of Chinese. Ethnic Indian approval of the way the country is going, at a high of 66 percent, has fallen dramatically as well, to 39 percent despite Najib's assiduous efforts to woo Indians back to the fold.

Najib, Rais Yatim and others have pointed to the decision to acquit Anwar as evidence of the Malaysian judiciary's independence, which is probably stretching the truth considerably. However, Umno and its leaders have been touting reforms of the hated colonial-era Internal Security Act, which allows for the indeterminate jailing of anyone the attorney general considers to be subversive, amendments to the Printing Presses and Publications Act and election law cleanup as well as other liberalizations as a step towards a new Malaysia.

Opponents regard these changes as cosmetic. The ISA is likely to be replaced by something akin to the Patriot Act, which was jammed through a panicked US Congress in the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

The government appears to have shot itself in the foot with the passage by the Dewan Rakyat, or parliament, of a Peaceful Assembly Act that opposition lawmakers, human rights activists and the country's lawyers say was about as bad as the law it replaces as it bans street demonstrations and requires assemblies, meetings and processions to be held only on designated compounds.

Whatever strength Najib has within Umno and whatever hold Umno has on the ethnic Malay electorate, the Barisan Nasional appears almost certain to have to simply write off the Chinese vote, and perhaps an unknown portion of the urban Malay and Indian vote as well. According to one analysis, overall 50 percent of parliamentary seats are Malay majority, 25 percent are Chinese majority and mixed seats i.e. seats in which no ethnic group has a majority, 25 percent are from the east Malaysia states of Sabah and Sarawak. To win Putrajaya, either the Barisan or Pakatan Rakyat must secure at least half of Malay majority seats -- 25 percent of the total parliamentary seats. For the Barisan, the winning formula is: 25 percent Malay majority seats, 5 percent Chinese or mixed seats and 20 percent from Sabah and Sarawak. For Pakatan, the winning formula is: 25 percent Malay majority seats, 20 percent Chinese or mixed seats and 5 percent from Sabah and Sarawak.

The other Barisan component parties are in considerably worse shape than Umno. The nearly moribund Malaysian Chinese Association is enmeshed in a scandal over the development of the Port Klang multimodal port facility, which has the potential to cost the country RM13 billion if all loan commitments are to be met. There is also hand-to-hand combat among leadership factions. In addition Chua Soi Lek, the head of the party, has been repeatedly taken to task by Malay supremacists such as Ibrahim Ali and his NGO Perkasa, which has the tacit backing of former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, further disenchanting ethnic Chinese, who make up 23.7 percent of the population. They appear to have abandoned the party wholesale for the Democratic Action Party, which has been termed a Chinese chauvinist party.

Although East Malaysia appears solidly in the Barisan camp, if the state election held in Sarawak held on April 16 is any harbinger, the results indicate a clear abandonment of the Barisan by Chinese voters. The Chinese-based opposition Democratic Action Party won 12 of the 15 seats it contested, doubling its share of seats in Sarawak since the 2006 state elections. Parti Keadilan Rakyat, led by opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, won three seats, including a rural one.

Thus the outcome appears to depend on how much PAS, having abandoned its Islamic goals, can make inroads among the Malay population, and particularly the urban Malay population. That 72 percent urban preponderance starts to look interesting indeed.

Many observers believe the most likely scenario is a Barisan win, but the historic two-thirds majority in parliament, which allowed the Barisan to dictate the country's political and governmental agenda, is likely gone for good.

That doesn't mean the opposition is faring much better. Pakatan Rakyat coalition continues to be beset with defections and arguments between the three component parties.

One of the things militating for an early election is increasingly dour economic forecasts. Second-half gross domestic product growth edged lower to 4.0 percent year-on-year as domestic demand weakened. By sector, according to the Malaysia Economic Institute of Research, services (6.3 percent growth) and manufacturing (2.1 percent) were the main growth engines. MEIR expects growth momentum to moderate as exports weaken on lacklustre performance by its main export partners, principally the United States. For 2012, MIER has revised its GDP growth forecast downward to 5.0 percent. Other research analysts, more pessimistic, put growth at 4.4 percent.

Although inflation seems relatively tame at a forecast 3 percent, Malaysia's tripartite growth model, two segments of which are manufacturing and commodities and both directed for export, will be hit by what appears to be an almost certain 2012 economic downturn in Europe and sub-par growth in the United States barring some miracle. That leaves just fiscal pump-priming and the public sector economy to maintain growth. Federal government net borrowing is already forecast at RM45.1 billion for the full year of 2011 and RM43.6 billion in 2012. Najib has produced an election budget with some goodies for everybody but particularly the country's ethnic Malays, including 1.3 million civil servants, one of the highest civil servants-to-population ratios in the world – the preponderance of them ethnic Malays. Civil servants will be offered tuition assistance for part-time studies

Other goodies include abolishment of payments for primary and secondary education, a "commercialisation innovation fund" to help out SMEs, a RM2 billion "shariah-compliant" financing fund for SMEs to be managed by selected Islamic banks – another bone thrown to Malay businessmen – as well as a review of capital gains taxes on property to stabilise the property market.

Najib and his troops have been hitting the campaign trail assiduously. But whether that means an election is imminent remains to be seen. Mahathir, the party's stormy petrel, counsels waiting until all of the ducks are lined up. But he also counsels that the Barisan keep up the pressure to make the opposition believe the national polls could happen sooner – forcing them to spend money, time and energy to try to keep up with the government parties.

Even Dr M thinks Najib will lose but a debate with Anwar is still vital

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 01:29 AM PST

THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE The polls are looming and Malaysia is gearing up for the most hotly-contested general election ever. Unlucky 13 may be the one that finally breaks the Barisan Nasional's 50-year dominance over Malaysian politics and welcomes the Pakatan Rakyat to Putrajaya.

With all things in the balance, it is only right that the people of Malaysia test the ability of its two prospective prime ministers on a public stage to discuss public policies. Yes, it's high time we see a Najib Razak - Anwar Ibrahim debate.

For the record, the Republican Presidential candidates in the United States have already had 20 debates; which has helped narrow the field down to only 4 candidates. The debate floor is a great place to gauge each candidates stand on such things as immigration laws, English as the official language of America and setting up more jobs for unemployed Americans.

So why can't Malaysia have a debate between Najib and Anwar?

Even Mahathir is worried Najib will lose

It is also telling that former premier Mahathir Mohamad has openly advised Najib not to debate Anwar. It immediately sparked talk that Mahathir was afraid the technically less competent Najib would disgrace himself in such a debate.

Indeed, the reason Mahathir trotted out defied logic, insisting that a 'debate' made sense only if Anwar shared the current the BN's views.

"What's the point of debating when everyone knows his stand, and the debate won't change this. It's a different case if Anwar shares the government's opinion on matters raised," the government media reported Mahathir as saying.

At the root of the BN's problems is that Najib Razak is merely caretaker prime minister, one who was appointed to the post by his party after an internal power struggle that ousted former premier Abdullah Badawi. Najib should have immediately called for snap general elections to win his own mandate from the people, but he chickened out, knowing that he was likely to perform worse than Badawi. Only one year remains of the BN's 5-year mandate now, with Parliament due to automatically dissolve in April 2013 regardless of whether Najib calls for polls.

On the other hand, Anwar has been prime minister in waiting for too long. Anwar Ibrahim is now the leader of the opposition pact Pakatan Rakyat, and if it wins more of the 222 seats in Parliament than BN, Anwar will finally become PM. Back in 90s, Anwar was already the hottest Malay leader in town. Then he was the Umno deputy president and even Mahathir feared him, so much so that sodomy charges were fabricated to bring down and jail Anwar.

At that time, Najib was nowhere in the radar, unable to command a following of his own.

In fact, he claimed to be one of Anwar's biggest supporters then. And so did others like current Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Defense minister Zahid Hamidi. With Anwar released only from jail in 2004, it is not surprising that these men switched their allegiance to Mahathir, and now, they are keeping an eye on premiership for themselves. As for Mahathir, sure he would rush for the chance to be PM again - if Malaysians would vote for him that is - but basically, his efforts are now focused on getting his son Mukhriz to take over Umno and the premiership in the round after GE-13.

Paranoia only confirms Anwar's legitimacy to be PM

This is why since 1998, the BN government has gone to incredible lengths to keep denying Anwar his shot at the premiership. In fact, the change in the Malaysian political scene can be traced back to his detention under the dreaded Internal Security Act in 1999. This was the event that galvanised the opposition movement in Malaysia. And every political move the Umno-led BN has made since has been designed to keep Anwar out of the race for prime minister.

So silly is this thinking that many pundits say it is because of this very paranoia of Anwar, that Mahathir and gang have actually trapped themselves now. Always worried that justice will finally come and they will be made to answer for their misdeeds, they have helped themselves to huge chunks of the national wealth resulting in RM888 billion in illicit outflows to overseas accounts. They have also neglected their duties, the economy and the weak governance of the country have chased away massive foreign investment. At the same time, by their sheer insistence to 'shoot at sight' Anwar and his Pakatan cohorts, they have unwittingly confirmed Anwar's legitimacy as challenger for the Malaysian premiership.

So, barring other candidates who feel that they can garner the confidence of the Parliament as prime minister, these two gentlemen are Malaysia's heavy-weights for the main contest. And should there be other candidates, they too should be allowed their chance to debate so that Malaysians as a whole benefit and get to choose the leader they believe can best deliver the job.

What does the Constitution say

Article 43 (2) states - The Cabinet shall be appointed as follows, that is to say: (a) the Yang di-Pertuan Agong shall first appoint as Perdana Menteri (Prime Minister) to preside over the Cabinet a member of the House of Representatives who in his judgment is likely to command the confidence of the majority of the members of that House;

The key to being prime minister in Malaysia is that a member of the House of Representatives command the confidence of the majority of the members of that house. Malaysians vote in fellow citizens as members of the House of Representative and 'pass on' the responsibility of choosing the Prime Minister to these elected representatives. Trust is passed onto these reps to make the wisest choice to benefit all. Whether these reps betray their countrymen and instead vote based on instructions from 'higher authority' in their party or in line with bribes taken will determine whether they are re-elected in the next round.

So the people must keep tabs and do not take for granted their reps will not betray their trust. But how can the people of Malaysia gauge the capabilities of whom will best fit the role of Prime Minister? A public debate would do fine.

But Malaysians still think MPs are their bosses!

A public debate is a medium by which the public can see and gauge for themselves the candidates with aspirations to lead the nation. Any reservations can then be voiced out to their respective Members of Parliament and the voice of the people must then be taken into account when choosing the person that would command the confidence of the House of Representatives to be PM. It is a process by which the people of Malaysia can be and should be part of. How difficult it this? Is this not a hall-mark of a progressive and mature democracy?

Sad to say, in many parts of the country, the people feel beholden to the reps. They feel their MPs are their bosses and not the other way around. But allocations given to the MP to distributes to the needy are actually money belonging to the nation - the Malaysian people as a whole. The elected rep is just a person chosen to undertake this task and the basis for choosing him or her should be trust.

The MP's constituents chose him because they trust him. So he has to do right by them and not behave as if they owe him and need to thank him and be grateful to him. This is the problem with Malaysia and only a government that will not take advantage of the rural people and instead educate them on their rights should be elected in GE-13.

This is 2012 and Malaysia is already very late in the people awareness and empowerment game.

Cannot function without a script written out for him

Yet in true BN government-knows-best form, Najib Razak will not take part in a public debate. And Mahathir supports this fully, although the older man's reasons may be less flattering to Najib than the younger man realizes!

But why won't Najib take on Anwar. At 58, Najib should possess greater fire and derring-do than the 64-year-old Anwar.

Perhaps, it is because in a public debate, Najib Razak's most obvious flaw will be on show. He is a 'scripted' man - and in a volatile environment of a public debate where scripts are written on the spot by oneself as one speaks - he would simply be dumbfounded. Yes, the cat is out of the bag. Without scriptwriters, Najib will have nothing to say. Unaided, Najib would fail miserably against Anwar Ibrahim, a man who has been tried, tested and tempered through all temperatures on the most public of forums including the two Umno-instigated sodomy trials.

Bear in mind, Anwar has been defending himself in since 1999. He was not only the fastest-rising and most popular Finance minister of the Southeast Asian region, but he has borne the brunt of all sorts of attacks against his sexuality, morality, character and personality. Both in the public sphere and in the courts of law.

Winner is obvious, and there may be sniggers but ...

In an immediate face-off the winner is obvious. But Najib should not be so vain and shallow as to refuse a debate because he knows, like the rest of the nation, he will surely lose. He must adopt a more gung-ho attitude and not just roll over and die. Style is not really that important, neither is articulation. Facts and substance are.

This is what Najib, at 58, should learn. He is no longer 18 and trying to show off to his girlfriend. He is Prime Minister of Malaysia and Malaysians want to hear what he has to say. How can he just drop his head and pretend it is not important. Not only will his critics in the Pakatan have a field day ridiculing his cowardice, even his own people in Umno will doubt him even more. Does Najib not think Mahathir would not in private sneer at him and perhaps tell common friends that 'Najib is so useless, I have to come out and help him to get out of it!' Isn't this a very likely reaction, even if not from Mahathir, others in Umno will surely say so.

Above all, Najib owes his countrymen. They already know him and they are entitled to know whether he has more to him than he has shown so far. Really, he should recognize their rights. Otherwise, he should talking about his dad, Abdul Razak who was the second premier, all the time as if being Razak's son means he would never do anything to harm Malaysia. But is not keeping Malaysia backwards and allowing ruthless opportunists like Mahathir to call the shots a slap in the face to the memory of his dad. One really wonders if Razak would approve of Mahathir or perhaps would have been even worse than Mahathir if he had ruled Malaysia longer.

Reclaim your rights

Malaysians should reclaim their rights and their nation. A public debate is the basic building block of a democracy. It is not an elocution or a beauty contest but a forum where the ideas and policies of two or more different quarters can be publicly evaluated, and the people can make up their minds. The prime minister's post is the highest executive job in the land. Malaysians have a right to gauge the potential of each candidate for themselves and not be curtailed by what the Umno-BN chooses because it is not to their disadvantage.

Finally, the prime minister can be anyone who is a member of the House of Representative and not limited to president of Umno. And to leave no room for doubt as to how the prime minister is chosen, all candidates must be made to lay out their plans and ideas and aspirations for Malaysians to vet through and to eventually approve of - whether at the ballot boxes on their own or through their reps in Parliament.

This is playing fair, this is playing fair according to the rules of democracy. This is the sign of a mature democratic country. If Najib or any other candidate in the future - whether from BN or Pakatan - refuses to debate in the run-up to any major election, he or she should not even be nominated to contest.

Recession is at the door and Najib is doing what he does best - NOTHING!

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 01:22 AM PST

"The world economy is slowing sharply, and the euro region headed for recession this year, the International Monetary Fund predicted Tuesday in a bleak update of global conditions. Overall, the world economy is expected to expand 3.25 percent in 2012 - down from the 4 percent projected by the IMF in the fall.

That figure includes 8.2 percent growth in China, still the world's most quickly expanding economy, and 7 percent in India. U.S. growth is forecast at 1.8 percent, the same as the fund projected in the fall. In those cases and for the rest of the world, growth was being crimped by what remains the world's major economic risk - the ongoing financial crisis in the euro zone. In a trio of reports released Tuesday morning, the IMF forecasts a "mild recession" for the 17-nation euro zone this year, and warns that matters could easily worsen".

The above is indeed a grim outlook from the world financial body and will definitely affect the Malaysian economy, but what is Prime Minister Najib Razak doing about it?

Well, it looks like he is going to do what he does best - NOTHING!

To understand the man, you need to know his background

Having been brought up with a silver spoon, the 58-year-old Najib is oblivious to the actual predicament and hardship faced by the people, both hardcore poor and those who can hardly make ends meet.

As he is constantly being surrounded by all the good things in life, he can never understand what the word poor means. There may not be a good correlation for such an inference but the fact is - Najib is not able to and does not care for the people.

His main concern now is to ensure that UMNO-BN wins the 13th general election so that he can remain the prime minister of Malaysia. It is a simple one-item priority.

The rest is of little concern to him as he seems to show no worry at all about the state of our economy. He continues to hand out more goodies to the people with the latest being the RM500 per household that earns less than RM3,000 per month. How caring can this be when it is a one-off aid meant to entice votes for GE-13?

Long list of flops

Then the award of Proton to DRB-Hicom, which immediately said they didn't have money but must borrow from Maybank, which in turn has to borrow from somewhere else. What if the whole exercise flops and Maybank ends up with a huge bad debt? By the way, if you have guessed that the Employee Provident Fund and PNB are among the biggest Maybank shareholders - which ultimately translates to the ordinary Malaysian worker and the poor Malay fishermen and farmers - then you are right.

The Ministry of Defence is also going to waste money on some exorbitantly expensive naval vessels, similar to the useless Scorpene submarines that Najib ordered in 2002 and allegedly received a RM570million kickback from. No wonder, current Defense minister Zahid Hamidi has had his eye on the Typhoon jet fighter for a while now. What a juicy piece of steak this must be for him!

MRT Corp, set up under the Ministry of Finance is expected to raise bonds soon for financing the RM50 billion Klang Valley MRT project. More money has to be borrowed and interest paid. Of course when the project starts there will be economic activities, but like all previous mega projects it is just a transient rise and will abruptly disappear once the money-making scheme is completed. Malaysians will then be treated to the same sour ending with the National Debt ballooning dangerously, while UMNO leaders and their cronies smile all the way to the bank, pockets bulging even more than ever.

The future is plain to see. The people will suffer from the poor service and with the maintenance of the KVMRT deteriorating so rapidly, the project will eventually need a bail out. No surprises for Malaysians used to this by now. With all due respect, history has shown that all the Malaysian LRT lines were bailed out because of bad planning and poor construction.

But for the KVMRT - the mother of all potential bailouts - this project is not going anywhere, and the completed structures will end up as white elephants, with the overall system only be partially completed. Due to its myriad problems, the entire system won't be able to work and function properly. The KVMRT is doomed from the start. Don't forget - you read it first here!

The Iskandar project in Johor has been hailed by UMNO as being a huge success. But sad to say, that is only on paper. UMNO has been on an advertisement propaganda to show the people that all is fine on the southern end. But basically, it is mere photo-shoots, nice photos, charts and statistics but Iskandar, like the KVMRT, will only benefit select contractors and be of limited economic reach because the project will hang halfway due to poor planning.

Not economic projects but money-making schemes

You see, only the 'first mile' is important. This is where the crony contractors and developers get their hands on the juicy government contracts. What doe they care if the entire project fails to integrate with both the local and national economy? After does Najib, the PM and also Finance minister care? No, he is even more busy than they are excavating the economy for his benefit and those of select UMNO allies.

UMNO and Najib have succeeded only in launching money-making schemes. This is why Malaysia is slowly but surely going bankrupt. The people are not getting richer. Only a certain group have become fabulously rich. This is the problem with all UMNO economic activities. Because of their short-term nature, there is no lasting effect and in the end they create more trouble and burden for the people.

The IPPs are milking TNB and Petronas dry and that directly hurts the people who have to pay high fuel and energy tariffs. The completed highways are still collecting the ever increasing tolls and the effect is hiking the cost of everything. Again, this is another example of the UMNO money-making schemes, the worst and most clumsily covered-up example being the RM12.5billion Port Klang Free Zone scandal.

Praised for doing nothing

So, what a joke it was when the World Chinese Economic Forum (WCEF) crowned Najib the Father of Modernisation and Transformation when he has not even completed a single term in office and he has not even won a mandate of his own to lead Malaysia.

Despite all that, MCA president Chua Soi Lek put on a great show of support, tapping contacts in the WCEF group to honor Najib. But the joke was on them because the WCEF actually gave Najib an award for doing nothing!

What an achievement indeed! Were they being sarcastic by awarding Najib such a "grand" accolade that even the mainstream media did not dare to play up for fear it might spark nationwide sarcasm and boomerang on the BN.

But if ridicule, empty promises, giving more burden to the people, leading Malaysia to the brink of bankruptcy, whitewashing financial debacles like the RM250mil Shahrizat-NFC scandal and indecisiveness are the basis for the award, then Najib truly deserves it. What say you?

'Ah Jib Gor' merayu tetapi tiada yang mendengar '

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 01:13 AM PST

Di mana sahaja Najib pergi, beliau akan menegaskan sesuatu yang sama "sangat penting" untuk Umno dan BN diundi semula dalam pilihanraya akan datang supaya parti itu boleh menunaikan janji transformasi mereka.

"Saya sentiasa mengatakan bahawa bukan tidak penting untuk diundi semula. Ia sangat penting untuk diundi semula. Untuk kami menunaikan janji transformasi, kami perlu diundi semula," ujarnya dalam pelancaran pada "Politics of economics and Social Transformation in the Era of Global Crisis.

Tiada kuasa sebenar dari mula

Adakah beliau mengulang-ulang kata atau sebenarnya merayu kepada rakyat supaya memberi peluang sekali lagi kepada pakatan BN? Apa pun jua, rakyat seperti tidak peduli. Seolah-olah tidak mengendahkan beliau.

Di usia 58, Najib telah menjadi seperti si budak yang melaungkan pertolongan daripada serigala. Beliau sudah menipu dan bercakap kosong terlalu banyak. Mereka yang di kedai kopi sudah memanggil beliau PM yang cakap sampah (ada juga menggunakan perkataan yang lebih teruk).

Mengapa harus rakyat mendengar apa yang beliau cakapkan? Orang ini bukanlah yang mereka pilih sebagai PM tetapi dilantik parti UMNO selepas mereka menyingkirkan Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dalam satu pergolakkan kuasa.

Parti komponen BN sudah berputus asa terhadapnya

Parti komponen BN pun juga tidak lagi mendengar cakap beliau, terutamanya yang dari Sabah dan Sarawak. Mereka mempunyai masalah dalam parti mereka sendiri. Parti komponen dalam BN yang lain juga sedang mengalami pertelingkahan dalaman dengan ahli mereka yang tidak berpuas hati dan kecewa. Seperti tiada harapan untuk mereka. Nama BN, suatu ketika dahulu adalah wira sekarang sudah busuk dan merupakan yang paling payah untuk dibawa dalam pilihanraya akan datang. Kekalahan hampir pasti namun begitu, Najib hanya mampu bercakap perkara tidak masuk akal.

Di Semenanjung, Gerakan sudah hampir pupus. PPP sama seperti KITA –tidak relevan! MIC tiada perkembangan dan MCA telah jatuh standad di mata masyarakat Cina. Di Sarawak, Ketua Menteri Taib Mahmud masih lagi berkuasa sama ada membenarkan PBS kekal dalam BN atau tidak. Tiada apa-apa yang dapat dilakukan oleh Najib mengenai ini walaupun beliau sering bercakap dengan gahnya.

Di Sabah, LDP masih lagi menghadapi krisis kepimpinan; PBRS dan UPKO tidak mempunyai pengaruh terhadap keputusan PRU 13 kerana sudah ada UMNO di Sabah. UMNO Sabah juga sedang mengahadapi pergolakan dan tikam menikam dari belakang walaupun Najib sedang berhujah mengenai kepentingan kesederhanaan.

Bukan saja Najib sedang hidup dalam alam fantasi, beliau masih lagi mahu parti komponen BN yang lain mengorbankan kerusi boleh menang mereka untuk kepentingan UMNO! Tetapi dengan begitu besar yang telah diperjudikan, mengapa harus mereka berbuat demikian? Banyak yang sudahpun menunding jari kepada UMNO sebab sikap pembuli dan mementingkan diri mereka.

Sebagai contoh, Chua Soi Lek, presiden MCA telah pun merayu ahli parti itu untuk tidak melompat parti kepada pembangkang dan menjanjikan jawatan tinggi dan wang berjuta-juta. Tetapi tidak, kerana Najib sekarang berminat untuk mengumpul segala yang beliau rasakan boleh menang. Jadi, bagaimana untuk menghentikan penghijrahan?

Terpaksa guna semula muka lama dalam politik UMNO

Najib sebenarnya sedang mengaut pulangan daripada politik kotor BN ke atas rakyat. Ini adalah hasil daripada budaya yang telah lama dipupok dalam UMNO dan BN untuk sekian lamanya- budaya rasuah, politik wang, tikam belakang, perebutan jawatan tinggi dan wang. Wang sememangnya segalanya untuk UMNO-BN. Wang bukanlah untuk rakyat dan negara tetapi untuk keluarga mereka dan mereka sendiri. Demokrasi pula adalah perkataan yang tidak wujud dalam kamus hidup mereka.

Jadi inilah sebabnya mengapa tidak ada yang begitu mengendahkan Najib. Si budak yang melaung serigala atau Maharaja yang tidak berpakaian- Najib telah menggunakan taktik licik untuk membersihkan imej dirinya sendiri. Beliau terpaksa menyalahkan orang lain dan mengguna semula ahli politik bereputasi buruk. Pada dasarnya, tiada seorang pun yang mahu mengikut telunjuk beliau lagi.

Contohnya, Najib telah mengangkat Isa Samad sebagai pengerusi FELDA supaya bekas muridnya dan protégé dari Sekolah Dato Abdul Razak

di Seremban yang kini sudah menjadi menteri seperti Shaziman Abu Mansor (Menteri Kewangan II), Ismail Sabri Yaakob (Menteri Perdaganagn Dalam Negeri) danAbdul LAtiff Ahmad (Timbalan Menteri Pertahanan) akan kekal dalam UMNO.

Begitu juga dengan Trio Datuk T yang mendedahkan sex video yang memfitnah Anwar Ibrahim. Ini juga usaha mengguna semula orang lapuk dalam UMNO – Rahim Thamby Chik, bekas Ketua Menteri Melaka. Ini semua menemui kegagalan dan menjahanamkan terus reputasinya yang sudah sedia teruk itu.

Malaysia di zaman paling gelap dan lemah

Tetapi apa yang Najib telah pelajari? Nampaknya tiada apa-apa kerana sekarang beliau sedang mengharapkan Jamaluddin Jarjis, bekas menteri yang menjadi diplomat ke AS. JJ bukan sahaja terkenal dengan rasuah tetapi juga seorang playboy seperti Najib.

Sungguhpun begitu, Najib hanya mahu mereka ini bekerja untuk mengembalikan kuasa beliau. Tidak hairanlah jika tidak lama lagi Najib juga akan memanggil semula Muhammad Muhammad Taib, bekas MB Selangor yang tidak kurang keji masa silamnya.

Untuk semua ini Najib mahu parti komponen BN mengorbankan semua kerusi boleh menang kepadanya pada PRU 13. Mungkin beliau boleh saja buli MCA, MIC,

Gerakan dan semua yang kecil-kecil dalam BN. Namun begitu, pertelingkahan sudah wujud dalam UMNO dengan mereka-mereka yang tidak berpuas hati memikirkan mengapa mereka tidak singkir saja Najib?

Sebenarnya, mereka tidak salah. Yang sepatutnya beliau memulihkan situasi selepas Abdullah Badawi disingkirnya tetapi beliau telah menolak Malaysia untuk jatuh ke zaman paling gelap dan lemah.

Pemimpin UMNO kini begitu juga dengan calon yang dijangka boleh menang sudah tidak lagi mendengar kata Najib kerana tiada sesiapa pun yang dapat menjamin Najib akan kekal berkuasa selepas PRU 13.

Paling memalukan -Ah Jib Gor!

Najib juga berusaha untuk mendekati beliau dengan mengadakan Facebook "fan empire".Beliau telah mendirikan beberapa buah laman dan anda boleh sahaja keliru dengan ketulenannya. Hasilnya, usaha menaikkan nama sediri beliau itu gagal. Yang melucukan adalah laman "Ah Jib Gor" atau "Abang Najib".

Beliau sememangnya dicurigai orang Cina. Najib sudah pun dimalukan oleh beliau kaum Cina dan ada yang menulis di laman itu "DIAM LAH".

Jadi tiada yang mendengar cakap beliau lagi. Bagaimana dengan orang kampung? Adakah mereka mendengar cakap Najib? Ada juga ya dan kebanyakkannya tidak.

Mereka mempunyai anak dan anak mereka menasihatkan agar jangan mendengar atau percaya pada UMNO terutamanya Najib. " Ada yang tidak kena pada UMNO mungkin kerana Najib atau Mahathir. Tetapi UMNO sudah tidak boleh dipercayai", inilah yang dikatakan kepada mak dan ayah mereka apabila ditanya mengapa banyak sangat kekacauan kini?

Kepada negara dan dunia luar, Najib adalah pembohong bersiri. Beliau bukanlah seorang lelaki yang mengawal masa depannya sendiri dan tidak juga dapat mengawal isterinya Rosmah dari berbelanja besar. Apa lagi masa depan negara dan kemakmurannya?

Pitfalls and danger lurk but DAP has to keep the door open to more Malays

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 01:08 AM PST

The Democratic Action Party (DAP) is on the right track in declaring that it intends to raise the number of candidates from Malay-speaking communities in Peninsular Malaysia in a bid for more seats in Parliament.

This is an idea whose time has come nearly 50 years after the Peoples Action Party (PAP), its parent party, seized the reins of power down south across the causeway in Singapore. Even as the PAP's fortunes are on the wane in the island republic, the DAP's star is shining ever brightly than before in Malaysia across both sides of the South China Sea.

Spoilt for choice

Malays in their political maturity phase are now spoilt for choice after Umno which has consistently bludgeoned the Malay opposition into near extinction through defections, the Special Branch, the Internal Security Act (ISA), the Bankruptcy Act, the Income Tax Act and the like.

Initially, the Malays made for PAS over the years, and then entered the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) after the sacking of then Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim from the Umno Government. Visuals in 1998 of Anwar's blue-and-black eye – now the party symbol – after a savage beating at the hands of then Inspector-General of Police Rahim Noor, infuriated the masses like no other incident.

The Malays also realised that there was no more room for them in Umno, and with good reasons. The ruling party has since 1987 degenerated from a mass-based movement into a Holding Company of many 'Sdn Bhd' or branches virtually owned, managed and controlled by particular families of mini political dynasties – often the term warlord is used – and focused only on plundering the Public Treasury through opportunities created by the government and the system.

The Umno of today, in reality Mahathir's Umno Baru from 1987 after the old Umno was declared unlawful and deregistered, is no longer in touch with the masses, Malay and non-Malay alike. This is a party of robber barons living it up as if there's no tomorrow.

Witness Prime Minister Najib Razak's wife, Rosmah Majid's shopping sprees abroad. She continues to live in a state of denial, even when the foreign press have taken to dubbing her as the region's new 'Imelda Marcos' in a reference to the former Philippine dictator's wife famed for buying 3,000 pairs of shoes while the poor in the country lived near to starvation – and this is no exaggeration!

Why DAP but then again, why not DAP!

The question that arises within Umno circles is why any good Malay would be caught even dead in DAP when they can opt for the mass-based PAS or the PKR if unhappy with the ruling party? Umno no doubt still has pretensions of forming a Malay unity government - "let's share the loot" -- with PAS and forcing PKR to merge - read Sodomy II - with it. These are strategies the party cannot pursue if the Malays are in the highly-disciplined DAP as well in substantial numbers.

The DAP foray, or intended in-roads into Malay areas, comes close on the realization within PAS and PKR that the former has just about reached its zenith and natural potential based on its main Islamic theme. PKR meanwhile is still work in progress in organising the Malay and other grassroots. Although there are many talented Malays and non-Malays wanting to join Anwar's party, perhaps many folds more than PAS and DAP, PKR needs to work harder on its internal structures.

The DAP will not be eating into the Malay support behind PAS and PKR but will be seeking instead to woo the Malay fence-sitters in Umno areas. These prefer not to be with either PAS or PKR for reasons of their own.

Whatever the rationale, it is good to seen parties in the Pakatan – PKR and DAP at least – progressing beyond lip service in being multiracial parties.

PAS will get there soon, it is to be hoped, because race-based politics is something that will kill Malaysia sooner rather than later.

Assure the Malays of what is rightfully theirs

DAP will be able to woo Malays by pointing out the degeneration of Umno since 1987 and its continued degeneration under ex-premier Mahathir Mohamad, its unofficial Advisor, and its linkage with Perkasa from the right-wing fringe.

However, the DAP would also need to re-assure the Malays that Article 153 of the Federal Constitution and the New Economic Policy (NEP) would be maintained, albeit as envisaged in letter and spirit.

The DAP would also need to point out to the Malay-speaking communities that it would be in their long-term interest that the power over Article 153 be restored back to the King and that the deviations and distortions in the said clause and the NEP be ended once and for all for the benefit of the malays themselves and the nation at large.

There are no other issues that prevent the Malay-speaking communities in Peninsular Malaysia from flocking to the DAP or PKR and PAS in droves.

Malays should not put all their eggs in one basket

It would not be in the interest of the Malay-speaking communities in Peninsular Malaysia to put all their political eggs in one basket i.e. the decadent and degenerate Umno under a super duper corrupt leadership at every level of the party.

The more number of Malays in DAP, the more multiracial the party would eventually become in Parliament.

Hence, it wouldn't be surprising at all if the number of Malay legislators in DAP, perhaps as many as 35 MPs eventually, equal that of the party's non-Malay representatives in Parliament. This will reduce the number of Malays MPs from Umno to 35 including 13 from Sabah.

There are 10 Chinese MP seats for the DAP's taking in East Malaysia - Sabah (3) and Sarawak (7). That assumes that the party, in a worse case scenario, will not able to pick up any Dayak MP seats in Sarawak through its Dayak Task Force. In Sabah, it's unlikely that the DAP can pick up any Dusun – including Kadazan or urban Dusun and Murut – MP seats or any non-Dusun Muslim seats.

The DAP can pick up at least another 25 seats in Peninsular Malaysia from its Chinese and Indian candidates.

That is the best-case scenario that pundits are now calling. As we go closer to the 13th general election, this forecast can deteriorate or even improve. Whichever it is, Pakatan is expected to trounce BN.

DAP turncoat?

The greatest worry though is that DAP turns traitor! Yes, talk is growing Umno has begun negotiations with DAP for an alliance post GE-13, whether BN or Pakatan wins. If true, Lim Guan Eng, the DAP secretary-general, will be committing suicide for his party. His dad, Lim Kit Siang, and DAP chairman Karpal Singh are bound to resist such a move but these men cannot live forever – legends though they are!

Even if DAP declines crossing over, the new members it picks up from Umno might do what Zahrain Hashim, Zaid Ibrahim and gang did to PKR. This has been a sensitive topic of discussion amongst the top Pakatan leadership. It is a real worry because Umno has the big bucks. The party itself may have little money but the Umno elite feature among the richest people in the world! What is several billion to them when they can rape the country for hundreds more if they get to cling on!

But the wheels of time wait for no one and Malaysians must be brave in facing the future. Malaysians must learn from the horror rule of Umno and BN never to depend on anyone or any party solely. They must stand up for themselves, their rights and the way they wish to live and be governed by.

Otherwise, we would go mad from the all betrayals – past, present and future. So take heart Malaysians and face GE-13 bravely. First step, get rid of Umno-BN. Then insist Pakatan carries out reforms immediately to protect the people from any form of political hegemony ever again.

That is the first order of the day, the most important to prevent us from ever losing our freedom again. Malaysians must reclaim their own rights before they can reclaim their nation.

The Remarkable Anwar Ibrahim - Loh Gwo-Burne

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 01:00 AM PST

This is not an article about Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy trial. But in case anyone is interested to hear my two-cents worth on the trial, I have two questions. How many people do we know who have actually been charged with sodomy? And do you think if Dato Seri Anwar will be charged if he were not an opposition leader?

My answers are 1 and NO

Furthermore, for those paying attention during the VK Lingam video, would have heard Anwar's case being mentioned. What does it mean? It means the BN government would go to great length to ascertain that Anwar will be put behind bar until his political carrier expires, if not for his entire life.

On that fateful day Lingam revealed to my father and myself that Mahathir and his political cronies had planned an Umno led coalition be cemented in power as long as time could be projected, and in the name of Malaysian prosperity and peace, Anwar must be destroyed. In this conspiracy all sectors of government including the civil service, judiciary, and police will be under their direct or indirect control and influence! The reach of this conspiracy even extends its reach into the private sector.

The financial system in the country be manned by trusted cronies, Petronas and its agents guarded by friends and family, the private power suppliers, utilities, media, trading companies, precious little was spared. One man stood to threaten the conspiracy, so he must be destroyed.

And what will happen on the 9th of January? I think all the cards are with the conspirators. If recent trends are any indication, then I think Anwar will be found not guilty, to buy some good will. Instead moving the grounds of execution will be moved to the court of Appeal (probably after the elections). But all the cards are with the conspirators, we can but wait.

With that out of the way, I want to talk about my observations about one of the most remarkable person I have had the pleasure to encounter and spend time with. He is my boss, but I will try to be objective. So let's make it clear that Anwar is by no means perfect, only Umno Barisan Nasioanl is perfect and does no wrong, so Anwar from time to time makes mistakes. The important thing is that he admits it.

The Inspirational

The first time I met Anwar Ibrahim was about 4 years ago together with my father. I was never an Anwar fan, also I am a skeptic by nature making me someone quite difficult to convince. I have lost all hope for Malaysia, and like many Malaysians have decided to move abroad. I was in a very good place in my life. Anwar struck me with his warmth and modesty. He spoke at length on his beliefs and his political vision for Malaysia. He spoke about his views regarding race relations and international relations of Malaysia. He spoke at length about his mistakes and what he learnt during his ordeals. When I left the meeting I left with a change of heart. I left the meeting loving Malaysia more.

For the first time in my life I felt hope for Malaysia. I realised that there is something worth fighting for. Suddenly I started to see everyone as Malaysians instead of just Malay, Indian, Chinese, Dayak, etc. I was inspired to see hope for our nation and its people... Anwar inspires. Anwar inspired with his sincerity and conviction. Anwar inspired with his vision. And directly and indirectly millions were inspired. Just five years ago, who believed that our nation was standing on the verge of change? Who would believe that the mighty Umno would need to start listening to the rakyat?

Of course Anwar was not the only source of inspiration. But at a time where some tremble at the sight of the moon on a green flag, and others who hurl insults at the sight of a rocket. He more than anyone else was the glue to bind us all together. He more than anyone else led us to each other, and today together we stand at the brink of a regime change in Malaysia. Without Anwar, how many would have believed we would have even got this far?

The Resilient

The remarkable thing about the survey which registered 51% liked our prime minister, while 39% likes Anwar. A friend commented that PR should be worried since Najib apparently was more popular than Anwar. But I offered a reversed conclusion that it is BN who should be concerned. Why?

Simple. For four years you have all the kings' horses and men, all the newspapers, radio, cybertroopers attack one man. You went so far as to dig out the old play book and charge him with sodomy. You even have a crony get his own brother to impersonate this man in a porno production. All these while, all the mainstream media treats everyday as "denitrify our prime minster day". Even going as far as to issue official national sermons for friday prayers telling all good muslims to offer undivided loyalty and obedience to our great Prime Minister and friends. After four years of this and you find you are only 10% ahead, wouldn't you be worried?

In other words we need to appreciate one thing. Anwar is extremely resilient. Anyone else subjected to this intensity of abuse would have thrown in the towel long ago, anyone else would have fallen ages ago. Yet, Anwar still stands tall and strong.

In fact through the waves of onslaughts directed at Anwar, I have never seen him visibly affected. Except during Zahrain's fallout. For the first time I could see Anwar visibly sad, more from the loss of an old friend I sensed. Despite the unrelenting assaults, which would have crippled entire armies, Anwar still stands tall and strong, "this is because of the hard work and support from all of you" he would say. But in truth is we are the ones that should be thankful.

Not only because he continues to give us hope and inspiration, he also provides us shelter and protection. Imagine if there is no Anwar to draw the waves and waves of onslaught by the powers that be.

Imagine if all the PR leaders and YBs are subjected to what Anwar has to face every day, how many more of us would have fallen? How many more would have thrown in the towel? He stood there and drew the majority of heat upon himself, so the rest of us can collectively work towards the goal of a better nation.

The Remarkable

Sometimes a nation produces a person who is destined to shine not only within their nation, but on the international stage as well. Someone that will make our nation shine that much more brightly (Some might try, some might imitate, but you can't pretend to be Princess Diana).

We in Malaysia are fortunate to have produced such a remarkable person. But it is also unfortunate that we choose to allow him to be shackled and weighed down. Or should I say that it is unfortunate that so many of us decide to stand by and allow him to be shackled.

But remarkably Anwar remains firm on his love of Malaysia and its people, remains determined to spend his life and blood in building the nation into the great nation we know we can become. He believes we can, I believe we need to.

Today our nation remains rooted unable to break free from being decidedly mediocre, but the truth is we are mediocre by choice rather than due to any disability. To a large extend this is where our Government has decided is the best place to be. And for 55 years there have been nothing the people could have done about it.

In a way we chose where we wanted to be. When the BN government was bulldozing the so called "peaceful" assembly bill through parliament, in spite of the widespread objections from the people, a BN YB said that the Barisan Nasional is passing this bill with the mandate of the people and if you don't like it then take over the government in the next elections if you can.

The Remarkable Mr. Anwar Ibrahim says we can, do you hear him?

PKR MP for Kelana Jaya

Tell the full story: Include RM4bil Ibiden, Robert Bosch investment, Guan Eng tells Mukhriz

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 12:53 AM PST

Penang hopes that the RM4 billion high-tech and solar energy investment by Ibiden and Robert Bosch Solar will be included in the 2011 December investment figures.

So whilst the statement made by International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir of a drop in investment compared to last year is correct, the final analysis can only be made when the December investment figure are tabulated.

RM12.2bil in 2010, should be RM10bil in 2011
In May 2011, the Penang State Government announced that Penang is targeting to achieve RM6.1 billion investments for 2011. Penang recorded its highest ever investment figures of RM 12.2 billion in 2010 topping the investment charts for the first time in history in Malaysia. A lower figure has been set to attract high value-added, high-tech, knowledge based companies that engender high-income, technology transfer and innovative industries.
Up to November 2011, Penang stood at RM6 billion in investments achieving the target of RM6.1 billion set. At the same time, there is a need to "digest" (consolidate) the record investments in 2010 so that the workers and skills shortage engendered does not overspill and damage the industry.

Penang hopes that the RM4 billion high-tech and solar energy investments by Ibiden and Robert Bosch Solar will be included into last year's investment figures which will then put Penang's investment at RM10 billion.

According to the recent report by investment and research firm Tholons on the 2012 Top 100 Outsourcing Destinations in the world, Penang has moved up 2 notches from 79 to 77 in ranking. The state government hopes to attract more of BPO and other preferred industries such medical, aerospace, LED and photovoltaic into Penang for 2012.

Take a look in the mirror: Has Umno ever kept its promises?

Posted: 28 Jan 2012 12:51 AM PST

For the past six decades UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) have failed to uplift the standard of living among all the marginalised ethnic groups in the country and this includes the Indians, Malays, Chinese and the Indigenous. The gulf of disparity between the rich and the poor is ceaselessly widening. This poverty gap has made many poor Malaysians become tangential to the national economic pie.

About 70 percent of ethnic Indians in the country are in the poor or hardcore-poor cohort but receives the least attention from the UMNO-led government, as the poor Indians do not have much political clout in a country of about 28.5 million people. UMNO-friendly political parties representing the minority Indians in BN have not achieved much in trying to help this marginalised group of Indians.

They may have enriched a few cronies among them for the past six decades but the downtrodden among the Indians are left to live on crumbs. The norm has always been that Barisan Nasional (BN) with UMNO as its backbone party would make ostentatious promises before elections to help the marginalised Indians. All these syrupy promises would, more often than not, conk out just after the elections.

Bullying tactics
Those political parties in BN and other Indian-based political parties friendly to BN espoused to help the poor Indians would be quietened down by UMNO with all the 'bullying' tactics. Nevertheless, UMNO leaders have never been short of grandiose rhetorical phrases to 'mesmerise' the timorous and poor ethnic Indians:
"In view of the low level of corporate equity ownership among Indians, attention will be given to increase their participation during the OPP3 period."

"Efforts will thus be undertaken to increase Indian equity ownership to 3 per cent by 2010."

" At the same time, a study to review the status of the Indian participation in the economy will be undertaken to formulate 'appropriate strategies and programmes' to help the Indians."

"A 'high-powered' task committee will be formed, headed by MIC President, to find out the plights of the Indian community."

"More allocations will be given to uplift the standard of living of Indians in the country."

"RM200 million will be allocated to assist poor students to continue with their education."

"Najib came out with a statement asking Tamil educationist to come out with a blueprint on how to take Tamil schools forward."

"Najib vows to address Indian 'legacy issues'."

These are only a few of the many superfluous and flamboyant rhetorical phrases used to lull the poor ethnic Indians. All these gimmicks, however, have remained rhetorical and hollow in substance. Nothing much has got off the ground since the country's independence to sincerely help the poor Indians and they have not benefitted much from any of these bare promises. In fact, not even 2 percent of the poor ethnic Indians have benefited from all these 'grand plans' for them. These are mere political publicity stunt to dupe the poor Indians. It has only given the poor Indians in the country a false hope in life.

Favours a single ethnic group
Malaysia's affirmative social and economic policies favour a single ethnic group more than the poor among other races. The poor Indians, Chinese and the Indigenous are far left behind since the implementation of the NEP (New Economic Policy) in 1971 even when a prong of the economic policy clearly indicates that the eradication of poverty is irrespective of race. Apparently, poor ethnic Indians are among the most neglected since the implementation of the NEP.

The Indian community is still trapped in the trough of poverty when the NEP was not extended to help those in the estates and those displaced after the estates were taken over for development. While the NEP helped the Malays and the Indigenous out of poverty and managed to create a group of middle class among them, it obviously ignored the needs of the displaced poor ethnic Indians. In reality, this composite of Indians are as poor as the Malays and the Indigenous, if not more. The failure of the NEP to support the Indians below the poverty line has attributed to the community being marginalised until today. MIC and other Indian leaders politically aligned to UMNO have done little to resolve the problem of poverty among ethnic Indians despite helming the nation under the former Alliance and later the BN coalition for almost six decades.

About 20 percent of ethnic Indian families are earning a meagre RM 516 and below per month. Another 20 percent earn less than RM1000 and below per month. Ninety percent of this ethnic group do not own any land or shelter of their own. Many in the urban areas live in squalid slums and they form 60 percent of urban squatters. They are among those having the lowest per capita income – earning only about 8 percent of the national average.

Discriminated against
When plantation lands were developed into other viable projects after the nation's independence this had resulted in the plantation workers being displaced and forced to become squatters in urban areas. With no proper education and financial means, they left for the urban areas in search of a new life. They lived in squatter colonies that were gradually demolished to make way for development with no or little alternative housing for them. Depriving of everything from income and permanent shelter they have become urban 'nomads' who are continuously being forced to live under squalid conditions and constantly being evicted or harassed by the authorities.

Thirty percent of them are squatters or live on TOL (Temporary Occupation Licence Land). Poverty has made their life acutely miserable. Suicides became too common among desperate parents and the meagre bread winners among them. Poverty has forced many of these poor Indians to commit suicide and 40 percent of all suicide cases in the country involve poor Indians. The majority of orphanages and old folks homes are also filled up with members of this minority ethnic Indian community.

Education opportunities for this community has been decreasing since. Only about 1 percent of intakes by government education institutes in the country and opportunities overseas funded by the government are allocated for ethnic Indians. There was a 10 percent quota for ethnic Indians before 1970 and this was reduced to about 5 percent in the 80s and further reduced to less than 3 percent in the past decade. The so-called 'meritocracy' system introduced in 2004 shrivelled the percentage of ethnic Indians' opportunity for tertiary education.

The double-standard examinations used for university entrance – matriculation and STPM – deprived many ethnic Indians making it to tertiary education in government universities and the chances of getting scholarships for overseas' education. The poor ethnic Indians were those who were affected most because of this politically twisted system. The poor Indians are naturally discriminated against by a lopsided education system.

Low sense of worth
The over 500 Tamil schools in the country is no remedy to the plight of this ethnic group. Most of this schools are dilapidated and not fully-aided government schools. Over 80 percent of ethnic Indian children end up becoming dropouts at the primary school level, when they enter secondary schools and before they have finished 11 years of education. They are ill-equipped with literacy skills to cope with studies beyond the elementary stage. Access to even the lowest level skills training Institutions are deprived for this community resulting in most of them remaining unemployed or unskilled workers

After about six decades years of independence, there are thousands of ethnic minority Indians left being undocumented – without birth certificates, identity cards or marriage certificates. This has deprived them of even basic education. Without these legal documents they cannot go to school, obtain licences to do business or secure employment.
Indian participation in the civil service has been reduced to less than 2 percent in 2010. Seventy percent (70%) of ethnic Indians have been doomed into becoming labourers, IMG (Industrial Manual Group workers, office boys, security guards, public toilet cleaners, general workers and road sweepers. Sixty percent (60%) of ethnic Indians are lower income earners and 85 percent of Indian workers in the manufacturing sector are low level workers. Sixty percent (65%) of Malaysian Indians work as plantation or urban underpaid labourers

Despair, poverty and lack of opportunities and UMNO-led BN lopsided policies have led to high Indian involvement in crime arising out of poverty. beggars, squatters, criminals and gangsters. A significant number of Indian youth have become social delinquents due to their low sense of worth.

Beyond that, ethnic Indians have been deprived of business licenses permits, business loans and opportunities for small businesses or commercial licenses for them to run businesses – resulting in less than 1 percent Indian participation in the country's economic wealth.

Justice for all
UMNO-led BN have been promising the poor ethnic Indians heaven when they cannot even deliver scraps to them. Disappointingly, the government has not kept to their promises.

The poor Indians are still languishing in poverty with not much hope in sight for a better life under the present government.

UMNO-led BN has failed to honour their 'gracious pledge' to help the poor Indians but have craftily made use of their hollow rhetoric to win votes and stay in power. A few ringgit doled out to the poor just before elections is not going to bring votes to UMNO or BN.

What's more, the poor on their part are not too ambitious to become filthy rich. Neither are they interested in going for a multi-thousand ringgit shopping spree or spending nights in posh hotels at the expense of tax-payers' money. They are only seeking for the basic needs in life – food on the table, education for their children, a reasonable income to make ends meet and a decent shelter to live in.

In this country of opportunity not only the poor Indians who are marginalised. The poor Malays, Chinese and the Indigenous of this country – who have by design or default made this country their home – are equally been marginalised under the UMNO-led BN government. A responsible government has to see the rights and positions of all citizens irrespective of race, creed or religion honoured. This is clearly ordained in the constitution.

Since those who are marginalised are not confined to one community alone, it is time for every Malaysian to rise above racial politics, thrust aside racial parties, liberate this nation from endemic corruption and injustice at every level and cherish together for a Malaysia where the people can perceive themselves as less Malay, Chinese, Indian or Indigenous. The people should long for a government that is 'colour blind' – that helps all the poor irrespective of their race, creed or religion.

The voting pattern will swing when there are ethnic groups that are deprived of these basic needs and have come to understand that they are being discriminated against. Mere rhetoric and promises to win elections are not going to influence the enlightened poor to vote for the incumbent government. The voting trend will definitely change in the coming general election.

No, not this one, which happens to be world's most confusing roundabout...

The Magic Roundabout in Swindon , England , was constructed in 1972 and consists of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle. Its name comes from a popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout. It has been voted the fourth scariest junction in Britain .

But this one, the size of Tun Dr. Mahathir's ego...

Not many people realize this when they are driving around Putrajaya, especially near the Prime Minister's office. Try to clear your mind and observe while you are driving, and you will soon realize that you are indeed driving along the potentially largest roundabout in the world. Malaysia Boleh!

The main reason people don't take note is because they tend to think it is just a hill. The circumferential length of this roundabout is approximately 3.4km, and the road that circumvents it is Persiaran Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah.

IS IT A GREVIOUS SIN TO JOIN DAP?

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 06:52 AM PST

Hello Khairy Jamaluddin, what is so wrong for a Malay to join the DAP? You should be asking yourself why are the Malays joining the DAP at a time when you think that there is no other party in the country that can serve the Malays better? Yes, UMNO have for the last 50 odd years served the Malays, but it has now become increasingly a party of the elitist that only takes care of a handful, rather than all Malays (regardless of their political affiliation). You may want to ask why is it that UMNO itself has been claiming that the Malays are still poor and need to be looked after. You mean to say that 50 odd years of UMNO/BN rule isn't enough? Now who do you blame for the never ending predicament of the Malays – is it the DAP or PCG (Parti Cap Gajah)?

Search your soul Khairy and you will find the answer as to why the Malays are joining DAP. You don't need to ask those that have joined because should they answer, you will then reply to them by saying that they are traitors of their race. But let me ask you Khairy, aren't the Malays in UMNO traitors themselves? Just look at the faces of those that surround you? Do you think they are all an incorruptible lot? Corruption to me is the most heinous of all crimes performed by those that have little regard for their faith and are blind to Allah's retribution in the hereafter. And I do not wish to bring out the many wrong doings of UMNO during the time of the Constitutional Crisis of 1992 where the Malay rulers were battered defenseless; stripped naked of their honor. That was the time when UMNO were really kurang ajar and please don't deny this Khairy. You must be a school boy then when this entire Malay ruler's bashing episode happened.

Now please don't get me wrong Khairy. I am not saying that you are corrupt, but the talk about you being corrupt around the time when your father-in-law was the PM is so resounding that it is too difficult to disbelieve. I remembered your name being mentioned repeatedly around the coffee shops as the smartest 27 year old and a PM in the making. They also say that you acted like a 'gate keeper' and what this really implies, I do not know. I find it hard to believe that for a person like you, so young and to be educated at one of the most reputable and recognizable universities in the world is not able to reason why are the Malays joining the DAP, and you need others to give you the answer.

I am surprised that it was Khairy first that was able to sense the sudden migration of the Malays into the DAP. Now I hear that DPM Muhyiddin has also sounded a warning to the Malays "not to fall for the DAP trap". I do not know what trap he is referring to – not a mouse trap I hope. We will now have to wait for a day or two before Perkasa's Ibrahim Ali and other Pro-UMNO NGOs to join in the fray with a threat to hold a massive public rally against the DAP; something that they are good at i.e. waste of time.

Let me warn UMNO that the Malays that joined the DAP are not the 'kucing kurap' or the 'katak lompat' type that goes around begging for favours and contracts. They know what they are doing. They are all learned and with a clear vision of change for the better for the country and its people. More importantly, they are clean and are yet to be exposed to the rot that is plaguing UMNO politicians today. Regardless of who and what they are, I personally think that they will be our leaders of the future. Mark my word.

Now, let me also say this that with Malays joining the DAP, this has further emboldened the Chinese, especially the fence sitters to say that they must be something good about the DAP that had drawn Malays to the party, knowing that the Malays in the past would not want to be associated with a Chinese dominated party, let alone become a member. Clearly, in this regards, the MCA and Gerakan has lost its Chinese appeal and attraction, and especially the MCA's so oft slogan that they are a party that takes care of the Chinese race is no longer true. I now believe that a party that is based solely on racial lines is no longer attractive and cannot survive the new Malaysian mindset.

With this new political development and shift, can the UMNO Malays now say that they are the only party to defend the rights of the Malays?

CRUSADE AGAINST CORRUPTION

Embassy of Israel in Malaysia...

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 04:12 AM PST

Under 'Prime Minister' Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia is expected to open up its embassy in Tel Aviv, and of course the Israel administration will reciprocate happily.

After Singapore, Kuala Lumpur will play host to the Jews diplomatic mission. Oppss... not Jews, we don't hate the Jews but the atrocity of their government on the Palestinians.

We used to criticise Singapore for its diplomatic relation with Israel. Anwar, as our Deputy Prime Minister then, had also lambasted the Republic for going against Asean's ZOPFAN (Zone of Peace, Peace and Neutral).

When I joined him on his Manila trip in 1997 (for his Jose Rizal award), that was part of his gist of talks - that no country should recognise the state of Israel until Tel Aviv reciprocates in recognising a free Palestine.

He was another Rizal then, avowing support for the cause of Palestine and the freedom of its people to decide on their own future.

The majestic Manila Hotel where we (journalists and his entourage) stayed was specially booked for Anwar and us. Yes, the Filipinos do look up at him, then and now. Former President Estrada too is supporting him. What a good and loyal friend he is.

This 'Rizal' used to chide at Singapore for becoming 'a friend' of Tel Aviv. In fact, when Singapore engage Israeli advisers and trainers for its armed forces, he was quick to use his 'renaissance slogan' on the Republic, how Lee Kuan Yew was not sensitive over Asean standpoint and the Palestinians.

Malaysia has always refrained from having any ties with Israel. As long as the Israel-Palestine dispute is not amicably settled, there is no haggling about it.

But Anwar's relation with Singapore has taken a positive turn ever since he was expelled from Umno and sent to jail in about 13 years ago. His adverse perception about the Republic was fast diminishing. And today, he is a 'buddy' for Singapore.

I am not sure why he (and some of his friends in Pakatan Rakyat) love going to the Republic of late but there is already a sign that Singapore too wanted to see 'changes' in Putrajaya. That change is in Anwar.

Now, Anwar is willing to change his stand about Israel. When he told WSJ that he supports all effort to protect the security of Israel, I guess he sounds more like an American rather than a Malay or a Malaysian.

I personally believe Israel has every rights to safeguard its security but whenever it is achieved on the destruction of others - just like how the Americans destroyed Iraq for its bluff and anti-terrorism campaign - then it is not fair.

How does Anwar define 'security' in the Israel-Palestine context?

I am not surprise that Malaysians, especially the Muslims' sensitivity about Israel will not be taken into account if he gets to Putrajaya. As he is already linked with some Jews organisations worldwide, an Embassy of Israel will be well in place in KL. The location could be the land behind the US Embassy... by chasing out the Libyans!

CM: State tackling housing and traffic woes

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 02:26 AM PST

January 27, 2012
Star

GEORGE TOWN: The state government will not run away from problems faced by the people such as the issues of affordable housing, traffic congestion and civil services, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said.

He said the state had allocated RM500mil to ensure affordable homes were made available to Penangites.

"To deal with traffic congestion, we have open tenders on a proposal to construct three bypass highways and a sea tunnel costing around RM8bil," he said in his speech at the DAP Chinese New Year open house at Penang Chinese Town Hall on Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling yesterday.

On Nov 15, it was reported that the proposed traffic alleviation projects are a 6.5km sea tunnel connecting Gurney Drive to the northern side of Butterworth, a 4.2km road from Gurney Drive to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway bypassing the city centre, a 4.6km road linking Bandar Baru Air Itam to the same expressway and a 12km dual carriage road from Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang to pair with the existing coastal road.

Poor translations as a source of entertainment?

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 02:17 AM PST

It is a given that we will come across badly translated English text now and again. The good thing is it will make the visiting reader chuckle... like this one...

http://ipohecho.com.my/v2/2011/10/16/an-inappropriate-misnomer/

A chuckle is quite close to a smile, and I think it is better than a frown because of displeasure.

I find Malaysians are segmented in terms of language. There are those of all races who speak English at home but not their own mother tongues. Then there are those who speak Malay, Mandarin or dialects, Tamil, and so on, but uncomfortable with English. But most can understand English or Malay, even though not fluent in speaking the language. So it is common to speak, say English to someone, who would reply in Malay. This reminds me of Empat Sekawan which started years ago, as a radio or Redifusion comedy and went on to television shows, starring Hai Yang, Hon Ying, Lai Meng and Wong Ho. Each will speak his or her dialect and the others will reply in his or her own.

Many people are able to spot mistakes in translated subtitles, eg. from English to Bahasa Malaysia. Off hand, I can remember classic ones: 'Fire!' (as in using guns) which was translated to 'Api!' (which means fire, as in the burning kind). Then, 'Have you lost your marbles?' (as in 'are you crazy?' which was translated literally to, 'Kau dah hilang guli ke?' Some incorrect translations involve numbers. For example, in Cantonese, 'yat marn' means '10,000'; 'sarp marn' means '100,000'; 'yat park marn' means '1,000,000'. Often, 'yat marn' was translated to mean '1 million'.

For those who know a bit more English, they are able to spot mistakes in pronunciation. For example, some retired teachers still pronounce 'facade' as it is spelled and not 'fersard'. Another difficult word of French origin, bour·geoi·sie. noun \ˌbu̇(r)zh-ˌwä-ˈzē\ is often pronounced as 'bugis'! Some made deliberate mistakes for fun, like 'barbress' for lady barbers or better known as hair stylists. Perhaps, it adds colour to our cosmopolitan society to make it more interesting. Why not?

Our trip to Genting was strictly business, but that was just on Friday. On Saturday we played paintball with the (almost) entire team. The road there was pretty awesome, lots of tight curves that'll make your head tilt back and forth. Of course I had to behave now that I'm a married man, but that doesn't stop me from having fun with the curves

This is a classic wooden bridge. I quite like the engineering and aesthetic bit.

The Master Chief helmet from Halo. I wonder if they'd allow me to wear my Optimus Prime helmet. Maybe next time.

The guns. Quite fortunate we had a brand new ones

The battle arena. Pretty decent, except the shields (or barricade) were pretty corroded, pellets could fly right through them.

Terrorists: Kang, Sharazain, Me (who doesn't like to wear the helmet) and William

Counter Terrorist: Alvin, Shazli, Zhaffri and Peter.

The entire CP team (except Shaun) and Tse-Yi (the only girl on the team) didn't play. If I'm not mistaken, I think she's pregnant.

Strategizing, but never really worked. Hahaha

Usually the first round is the hardest. Adrenalines were rushing up and down.

After a few rounds, we decided to play against the Marshal. It was 8 against 3, but they were pretty heavy weight themselves, an ex-commando (green beret), National Junior Paintball Champion and one experienced league 1 paintballer.

We played save the hostage and we were the Counter Terrorist. We won by the way

My boss. He looks disturbed. Hahaha.

Raja Kecil yg selalu MIA tapi kerja jalan.

Peter, the loud brat. Zhaffri, the scape goat.

Alvin, no nicks yet, but I'll call him Yogi Bear

Kang, the "You Dare aaaa?".

Sharazain, the one that got away. (He never got shot)

Zhaffri was the only one who got hit on the left and right lower ribs. Unfortunately, those we were the areas that wasn't covered and his shirt didn't help much.

Underneath the shirt, 3 battle scar on the left. I knew had him the first time, but I just wanted to make sure he surrenders. Hahaha. Sorry pal.

Will try to update my visit to Petrosains this weekend.

GENOSID-POLITIKO HALUS TERHADAP INSTITUSI ISLAM MELAYU & RAJA-RAJA?

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 02:20 AM PST

Salam 2 all.

Islam diserang; Melayu diganyang; Raja-Raja disepak terajang!

Itulah gambaran ringkas suasana sosio-politik semasa yang sedang bergolak di Malaysia! Suasana yang jika tidak ditangani dengan tegas dan sewajarnya akan membawa kepada "genosid-politiko" secara halus terhadap insitusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja (IMR); yang akan membawa kepada hilangnya institusi IMR - Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja dibumi yang tercatat dalam sejarah sebagai Persekutuan Tanah Melayu!

Ini membawa kepada persoalan besar yang menjadi topik bualan rakyat termasuk umat Islam iaitu apakah kesan terhadap kedudukan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja di Selangor khususnya dan Malaysia amnya setelah pemecatan YB Datuk Dr. Hasan Ali dan pengambilan-alih portfolio Islam daripada PAS yang kini hanya diberi portfolio Adat Resam Melayu, Belia & Sukan, sehingga akronim PAS disamakan sebagai Parti Adat & Sukan!

Setelah dihina di Pulau Pinang tanpa sebarang portfolio mahupun jawatan, PAS diaibkan di Selangor dengan hilangnya portfolio Islam dengan pemecatan tokoh pemimpin Melayu-Islam Datuk Dr. Hasan Ali. Bak kata beliau, merampas portfolio Islam daripada PAS sama saperti menjadikan PAS sebuah parti tanpa kaki & tangan. Bemakna PAS dah menjadi kudong dan dikudongkan, saperti sebijik timun. Bergolek pun luka, menggolek pun luka. Begitulah PAS hari ini diperlekeh oleh rakankongsi pakatannya!

Dan apabila seorang pemimpin Melayu-Islam membuat kenyataan bahawa institusi "Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja sedang diancam di Selangor & Malaysia", maka kaum cauvinis dan rasis biaDAP dan para politikus parasit melatah tak tentu pasal, sehingga menuduh kegagalan Kerajaan mengambil tindakan terhadap beliau membuktikan kononnya Kerajaan menggalakkan percambahan fundamentalism, ekstremism dan terorisma Melayu-Muslim!

Begitu takut dan gentar cauvinis biaDAP dan para politikus parasit ini dengan kebangkitan dan ketegasan umat Melayu-Muslim mempertahankan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja sehingga dicadangkan supaya pejuang saperti itu dilarang menjejak kaki ke bumi Selangor!

Begitulah demokrasi dan kebebasan bersuara yang dikompang oleh kaum parasit ini. Bila kena batang hidung mereka, dengan segera hak demokrasi dan kebebasan bersuara yang mereka lalakkan siang malam dibenamkan dengan label ektremism, fundamentalism & terorisma!

Pada teman, sebenarnya kegagalan Kerajaan bertindak tegas terhadap para parasit pelampau cauvinis dan rasis inilah yang menyebabkan bertambah bercambah dan dan membiak fahaman radikal yang ekstrim dan biaDAP, yang secara sistematik, terancang dan halus memperlekeh, mempertikai dan cuba melemahkan dan menghapuskan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja!

Sedangkan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja diberi tempat yang mulia dan gah didalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan sendiri. Malah, dalam hal ehwal Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja, Perlembagaan Persekutuan adalah dokumen yang berbentuk diskriminatori yang positif; iaitu memuliakan dan memartabatkan kedudukan dan hak keistimewaan Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja diatas dan mengatasi segala yang lain!

Artikel 3 memperuntukkan "Islam agama Persekutuan". Tidak ada Perlembagaan dalam dunia ni yang meletakkan Islam sebagai agama negara kecuali Perlembagaan Persekutuan Malaysia. Sebab itu adalah satu kesilapan kalau disebut Islam agama rasmi, sebab kalau ada yang rasmi, maknanya ada yang tidak rasmi. Perlembagaan sebut "agama Persekutuan", maknanya "agama Negara Malaysia ini ialah Islam".

Kalau mengikut tafsiran ini, bermakna semua dasar, polisi dan perlaksanaan pemerintahan, pengurusan dan pentadbiran negara Malaysia ini samada dari segi ekonomi, politik, perundangan, kehakiman, ketenteraan, hubungan diplomatik, hal ehwal luar negara, sukan, kebudayaan, pendidikan dan lain-lain mesti dan wajib berteraskan Islam!

Sama saperti seseorang yang mengaku Islam, segala kelakuan, peribadi, akhlak dan perbuatannya mesti selaras dan bersamaan dengan Islam; dari hal makan minum, kekeluargaan, pekerjaan, persaudaraan, jiran tetangga, dan banyak hal lain dalam kehidupan mesti dan wajib berteraskan Islam. Maknanya kalu seorang mengaku Islam tetapi mengaku kafir harbi saudaranya, maka jelas dia tidak mengamalkan akhlak dan peribadi seorang Islam, walaupun dibungkus serban dikepalanya, ditutup jubah ditubuh badannya!

Kedudukan Islam sebagai agama Negara Malaysia diperkuatkan dengan Artikel 3 (2) yang memperuntukkan bahawa Yang DiPertuan Agong, dan Raja-Raja Melayu adalah Ketua Agama Islam bagi Persekutuan dan Negeri masing-masing, dan "segala hak, keistimewaan, kedaulatan dan kuasa" Tuanku Raja-Raja Melayu keatas agama Islam tidak tersentuh dan tercacat oleh apa-apa unsur pun".

Atas peruntukkan inilah Tuanku Raja-Raja Melayu berkuasa mutlak menentukan perlantikan Mufti, Pengerusi Majlis Agama Islam, termasuk pada pandangan teman siapa yang berhak memegang portfolio Hal Ehwal Islam di negeri masing-masing, walaupun terdapat persepsi salah dikalangan sesetengah pihak bahawa hanya Menteri Besar berhak menentukan penyandang portfolio Hal Ehwal Islam.

Begitu juga Artikel 11 (4) memperuntukkan bahawa tiada sebarang kerja pendakyahan boleh dibuat terhadap umat Islam. Malah ianya boleh dikanunkan sebagai kesalahan jenayah yang boleh dikenakan tindakan penal di Mahkamah sivil! Sebab itu pada pandangan teman, isu pendakyahan ini bukan bidangkuasa Jabatan Agama, sebaliknya ianya adalah dalam bidangkuasa dan bidangtugas Polis DiRaja Malaysia, mungkin dengan bantuan pihak berkuasa agama negeri masing-masing.

Berdasarkan peruntukkan ini, pihak berkuasa, termasuk PDRM & pihak berkuasa Islam berhak menyiasat dan mengambil tindakan terhadap non-Muslim dan institusi mereka saperti gereja dan lain-lain untuk menguatkuasakan peruntukkan Artikel 11 (4) ini. Sebab itu teman berpendapat tindakan JAIS dalam menyiasat Gereja DUMC mengenai aduan dakyah kristianisasi terhadap umat Islam bukan sahaja diperbolehkan, malahan menjadi tanggungjawab Perlembagaan untuk mereka mengambil tindakan. Bagi golongan yang mempertikaikan kuasa dan bidangkuasa itu bermakna mereka mempertikaikan Perlembagaan Persekutuan!

Artikel 12 Perlembagaan berkaitan dengan pelajaran memperuntukkan bahawa "adalah sah bagi Kerajaan Persekutuan ataupun Negeri menubuhkan atau menyelenggara institusi-instusi Islam (persekolahan, pembelajaran, pendidikan, IPTA, IPTS dan lain-lain) atau mengadakan atau membantu dalam mengadakan ajaran dalam agama Islam dan melakukan apa-apa perbelanjaan sebagaimana yang diperlukan bagi maksud itu".

Pendek cerita, Kerajaan Pusat & Negeri boleh, dan dibenarkan mengeluarkan perbelanjaan untuk membiaya dan menyelenggara persekolahan dan institusi pendidikan & pembelajaran berkaitan Islam. Ini adalah peruntukkan Perlembagaan. Dan kalau diperhatikan, tiada sebarang peruntukkan diberikan untuk perbelanjaan dan pembiayaan sekolah-sekolah dan institusi-institusi pembelajaran dan pendidikan yang selain daripada Islam! Maknanya bagi sekolah-sekolah & institusi aliran lain, tidak ada tanggungjawab Kerajaan membantu dan membiaya mereka. Dan apa jua bantuan dan dana yang diberikan selama ini untuk institusi persekolahan, pendidikan dan pembelajaran non-Muslim bukan kerana hak Perlembagaan, sebaliknya hanyalah semata-mata atas ehsan dan budibicara Kerajaan Persekutuan.

Manakala Artikel 74 dibaca dengan Jadual 9 Senara II Perlembagaan memperuntukkan sebuah Mahkamah khas untuk membicarakan hal ehwal umat Islam dalam perkara yang dimaktubkan saperti perkahwinan, perceraian, harta pusaka, amanah, waqaf dan banyak lagi. Dan dibaca bersama Artikel 121 (1A), Mahkamah sivil tidak boleh samasekali mencampuri urusan Mahkamah syariah ini.

Begitu istimewa institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja, Artikel 160 memperuntukkan bahawa bangsa Melayu itu wajib beragama Islam! Kalau seseorang Melayu itu murtad, menjadi bukan Islam maknanya dia bukan lagi Melayu. Sebab itu orang Melayu yang murtad hendaklah dianggap terbatal kedudukan dia sebagai bangsa Melayu. Ini penting kerana Perlembagaan hanya memberikan hak dan kedudukan istimewa kepada bangsa Melayu yang beragama Islam, saperti yang dimaktubkan dibawah Artikel 153.

Malahan, semua Undang-Undang Tubuh Perlembagaan Negeri-Negeri Beraja memperuntukkan bahawa jawatan Menteri Besar dan tiga jawatan turus utama negeri iaitu Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri, Penasihat Undang-Undang Negeri dan Pegawai Kewangan Negeri hendaklah terdiri daripada orang Melayu yang beragama Islam!

Dan begitu istimewa kedudukan Islam didalam Perlembagaan, dalam keadaan darurat diisytiharkan menurut Artikel 150, walaupun Yang DiPertuan Agong dan Parlimen dengan kuasa yang diberi boleh menggubal, menggantung, memansuhkan dan meminda apa-apa undang-undang, namun "Islam, hukum syarak dan adapt istiadat Melayu" langsung tidak boleh disentuh!

Berdasarkan ringkasan diatas, dapatlah dilihat betapa Perlembagaan Persekutuan itu memartabatkan, memuliakan, dan menobatkan kedudukan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja dengan kedudukan yang tinggi lagi istimewa. Oleh itu, sebarang pencerobohan, pelanggaran, serangan dan kemungkaran terhadap institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja adalah satu penderhakaan dan bughah yang perlu ditentang oleh semua lapisan rakyat yang menghormati Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Dalam konteks itulah apa yang berlaku di Selangor dan negara Malaysia ini sejak Mac 2008 merupakan satu serangan secara sistematik dan halus terhadap institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja oleh para parasit yang langsung tidak menghormati Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Daripada sikap memperlekehkan dan mempermainkan lagu Negara Ku, kepada penghinaan terhadap Jalur Gemilang, mempersoalkan azan, kepada isu mempertikai institusi Raja-Raja Melayu, membawa kepada berjoget-robek di surau masjid, kepada agihan daging korban oleh para kaafirun harbiyun, sehingga kepada usaha dakyah terhadap umat Islam dan penglibatan secara aktif para pastor, missionary dan gereja dalam gejala murtad umat Islam, membawa kepada pemecatan Datuk Hasan Ali dan perampasan portfolio Islam daripada PAS; genosid politik terhadap insitusi dan syiar institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja di Selangor khususnya, dan Malaysia amnya memang sedang berlaku secara sistematik dan terancang secara halus!

Dan dalam isu murtad contohnya, kita melihat penglibatan gereja dan para pastor secara aktif terhadap orang Melayu. Daripada kes murtad Jamaludin Osman yang menjadi paderi Melayu pertama dengan nama Father Joshua Jamaludin disebuah gereja di Petaling Jaya, kepada murtadnya Nor Aishah Bukhori dengan nama kristiannya Aishah Felicea, diikuti murtadnya Azlina Jailani dengan nama kristian Lina Joy, hingga kepada isu terbaru dakyah kristianisasi melibatkan gereja DUMC, jelas membuktikan penglibatan secara langsung dan aktif segelintir pendakyah pastor dan gereja-gereja.

Pendedahan seorang ahli tegar parti DAP, saudara Razali mengenai usaha penubuhan Negara Kristian dan sumpah para pastor di Pulau Pinang yang mengadakan perhimpunan meraikan kemenangan beberapa calon DAP dalam Pilihanraya Negeri Sarawak 2011 jelas membuktikan penglibatan secara langsung para pastor dan gereja dalam politik kepartian dinegara ini.

Malah lebih memeranjatkan, saudara Razali mendedahkan, melalui keterangan, dokumen dan videoklip mengenai upacara sumpah para pastor mahu menjadikan Malaysia sebagai sebuah Negara Kristian! Tahniah kepada saudara Razali yang akhirnya menemui kewarasan aqidah apabila beliau meletakkan Islam lebih utama daripada politik kepartian. Tetapi keberanian itu dibayar dengan harga yang mahal apabila beliau menerima pelbagai ugutan dan ancaman, sehingga terpaksa menyembunyikan diri dan diletakkan dibawah kawalan keselamatan!

Bayangkan seorang Melayu-Muslim terpaksa bersembunyi dan berlindung dibawah kawalan keselamatan hanya untuk mempertahankan dan membela agamanya yang diserang dan cuba dirobek oleh anasir-anasir subversive, ekstremis dan pelampau yang biaDAP dalam negara umat Islam ini!

Dan kemuncaknya yang dapat disaksikan oleh seluruh umat dan rakyat negara ini apabila Exco Hal Ehwal Islam yang juga tokoh pimpinan Partai Islam SeMalaysia, YB Datuk Dr. Hasan Ali dipecat oleh partinya sendiri dan digugurkan daripada jawatan Exco bagi portfolio Hal-Ehwal Islam hanya kerana dia cuba mempertahan dan membela institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja di Selangor Darul Ehsan!

Dan yang paling malang, pemecatan beliau oleh partinya langsung tidak menurut adab dan peraturan Islam. Beliau langsung tidak diberi notis tunjuk sebab, apatah lagi membela diri ataupun bersuara dalam isu pemecatannya. Semuanya dibuat dengan begitu pantas, dan yang kelakarnya ada segelintir dikalangan mereka ini masih mahu mendabik dada bongkak menyatakan merekalah parti Islam yang lebih Islam daripada orang lain!

Adalah sesuatu yang paling malang, apabila genosid politik terhadap institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja ini berlaku dengan sokongan dan dokongan segelintir parasit politikus kalkatus yang rakus dikalangan bangsat Melayu yang mengaku Islam; dan mereka bertopengkan Islam untuk membantu kaum parasit biaDAP dan cauvinis menghancurkan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja, hanya untuk memuaskan nafsu serakah mereka mahu menduduki mahkota Putrajaya yang pernah mereka bersumpah dan berikrar mahu lelong dan gadaikan!

Perlu diingat inilah golongan yang sama yang apabila meletus isu murtad Jamaludin Osman menjadi paderi dengan nama Father Joshua Jamaludin tahun 1986, menubuhkan sebuah Jawatankuasa Bertindak Anti-Kristian dan mengadakan satu demonstrasi dipanggil "Himpunan Menentang Kristianisasi" di Sitiawan, Perak pada 29 Oktober 1987! Himpunan yang dibantah keras oleh parti DAP, rakan sekongkol PKR & PAS sekarang! Betapa ironisnya

Malah ada antara mereka menjadi Nujum Pak Belalang apabila membuat satu ramalan dalam ucapan pada 07 Ogos 1987 dalam satu program di Parit Amal, Johor dengan meramal "seluruh Malaysia akan dikristiankan selewat-lewatnya tahun 2000"!. Malah mereka mendakwa pada masa itu 66,000 orang Melayu sudahpun murtad!

Namun setelah lebih 30 tahun berlalu, apabila tokoh pimpinan PAS, Dr. Hasan Ali sebagai Exco Hal Ehwal Islam Selangor sendiri mengambil tindakan terhadap kegiatan gereja DUMC kerana cubaan mendakyah dan memurtadkan orang Islam, dia ditentang habis-habisan. Dan apabila beliau mengadakan Himpunan Selamatkan Aqidah Umat di Stadium Shah Alam, dia dihalang dan ahli partinya dilarang daripada menyertai himpunan itu, walaupun baru beberapa bulan sebelum itu mereka menghalalkan penyertaan dalam satu himpunan haram, walaupun diketuai oleh seorang kafir yang pernah diisytiharkan musuh Islam yang harbi!

Dan yang paling memeranjatkan, ada segelintir dikalangan mereka pula pada hari ini muncul sebagai kaum yang bermati-matian mempertahankan gereja dan kaum kristian. Ramalan mereka pada tahun 1987 bahawa Malaysia akan dikristiankan pada tahun 2000, menjadi kenyataan apabila mereka sendiri rupanya yang mempertahankan institusi kristianisasi ini, sehingga ada antara mereka bukan sahaja sanggup menjual kalimah ALLAH kepada kristian untuk diguna dalam bentuk trinity yang syirik, malah mereka sanggup mati untuk mempertahankan para kafir harbi yang biaDAP ini! Begitu ALLAH kembalikan fitnah kepada mereka! Na'uzubillah min zalik!

Benarlah kata YB Datuk Dr. Hasan Ali, bahawa pembangkang yang dianggotainya dahulu sudah diresapi oleh racun segelintir para parasit politikus kalkatus yang rakus mahu bermahkota di Putrajaya "at all cost", sehingga mereka muncul sebagai pelacur politik murahan yang layak ditongsampahkan dalam sejarah kegemilangan dan kebangkitan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja dalam negara umat Islam Malaysia ini!

Apabila seorang pemimpin yang berjuang mahu membela dan mempertahankan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja digertak dan diugut akan diharamkan daripada menjejakkan kaki ke bumi Selangor Darul Ehsan, maka itu bukti jelas institusi "Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja sedang terancam" di Selangor Darul Ehsan dan negara Malaysia!

Apabila seorang Exco yang dipertanggungjawabkan menjaga hal-ehwal Islam bangkit untuk memartabatkan dan menobatkan insitusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja berakhir dengan dipecat dari partinya dan digugurkan daripada jawatannya, maka itu bukti jelas institusi "Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja sedang terancam" di Selangor Darul Ehsan dan negara Malaysia!

Dan benarlah sabda Rasulullah saw, apabila sesuatu amanah diserahkan kepada yang bukan ahlinya, maka nantikanlah kehancuran! Dan kita nampak itu berlaku apabila parti yang melabel diri mereka sebagai Islam tidak diberikan portfolio Islam di Pulau Pinang & Selangor!

Kita sedang menyaksikan satu proses genosid politik secara halus untuk menghancurkan institusi Islam-Melayu & Raja-Raja secara terancang, sistematik dan halus dihadapan mata kita. Kita sebenarnya adalah umat Islam akhir zaman yang disebut oleh Rasulullah saw yang akan melalui proses kehancuran akibat fitnah besar akhir zaman.

Maka menjadi wajib 'ain bagi tiap individu umat Islam bangsa Melayu untuk terus bangkit membela, mempertahankan, memartabatkan, menobatkan dan memuliakan semula insititusi Islam Melayu & Raja-Raja dalam negara ini, termasuk di Selangor Darul Ehsan.

Dari ALLAH kita datang, kepada ALLAH kita kembali! Kita memohon dan berdoa kepada ALLAH supaya memelihara iman dan aqidah kita dalam zaman fitan kabir ini!

Sesungguhnya aku naik saksi bahawa tiada tuhan melainkan ALLAH Yang Esa, dan aku naik saksi sesungguhnya Nabi Muhammad saw itu adalah Rasulullah!

Adios amigos, grasias senor!

Wallahua'lam & Wassalam.

ABU bukan organisasi dan tidak ada ketua, ABU bukan sokongan bersifat cek kosong

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 01:00 AM PST

Kenyataan Terbuka

27 Januari 2012

ABU MILIK RAKYAT

Seminggu ini ABU atau Asalkan Bukan Umno telah menjadi perhatian. Bermula dengan insiden serangan bersifat perkauman terhadap Ceramah ABU di Dewan MBSA, Seksyen 30, Kg Jalan Kebun, Shah Alam sehinggalah kenyataan terbuka oleh S.Jayathas yang selepas itu diketahui bertindak atas arahan P. Utayakumar yang merupakan pimpinan Hindraf yang telah menubuhkan sebuah parti politik yang dikenali sebagai Parti Hak Asasi Manusia Malaysia.

Ditegaskan sejak awal ABU bukan sebuah organisasi atau jauh lagi sebagai sebuah pertubuhan bukan kerajaan. ABU ialah mewakili sentimen rakyat yang kecewa dan sedar dengan hakikat banyak masalah negara ini berpunca dari sebuah parti yang dicipta oleh penjajah iaitu United Malay National organisation (Umno). Seingat kami sentimen ABU ini mula wujud sekitar tahun 1998 selepas pemecatan DSAI dan kemudian diporpularkan oleh Hishamuddin Rais melalui blog Tukar Tiubnya.

Namun bermula beberapa bulan lepas beberapa organisasi seperti SAMM, SABM, PSM, PRM dan banyak lagi juga tidak ketinggalan beberapa organisasi mahasiswa serta aktivis-aktivis masyarakat yang bergerak sendirian telah bergabung dan bersetuju menghidupkan kempen ABU untuk menjadikan ia sentimen nasional dalam menyatukan kekuatan rakyat demi menumbangkan Umno dan Barisan nasional khususnya dalam PRU akan datang.

Kempen ABU ini menggariskan 3 perkara kenapa perlu rakyat menolak Umno iaitu

Isu sentimen perkauman melampau yang dibawa oleh Umno telah menggagalkan penyatuan rakyat juga sebagai senjata untuk mengalihkan isu apabila satu isu besar muncul dalam negara.
Isu Lynas diangkat kerana isu ini menunjukkan ketidak pedulian Umno terhadap suara rakyat sanggup memperjudikan nyawa rakyat demi projek menguntungkan pihak tertentu. Isu ini juga berkait rapat dengan pembaziran, rasuah yang menghilangkan hasil petroleum negara sehingga negara terpaksa mencari industri tenaga baru bagi menggantikan petroleum.
Isu harga barang yang melampau dan jelas regim gagal mengawal

Isu - isu ini diangkat kerana ia isu yang dekat dan mudah difahami oleh rakyat. Isu ini juga bersifat fundimental dan dikongsi oleh semua gerakan progresif. Maka dengan isu ini diharapkan dapat menyatukan semua gerakan progresif dan secara tidak lansung mengenepikan isu perbezaan yang tidak menguntungkan gerakan. Selain itu isu seperti keadilan asas dan sistem perundangan juga menjadi tumpuan.

Telah dipersetujui ABU tidak akan punya struktur tetapi hanya penggerak terdiri dari organisasi atau individu sekutu yang bersama dengan sentimen ABU. Maka tidak ada ketua cuma yang ada kemungkinan penyelaras berdasarkan keperluan program.ABU tidak ada hak cipta semua orang boleh bergerak atas ABu tetapi jika bersekutu bersama impaknya akan lebih berkesan.

Semua orang boleh buat t-shirt ABu atau apa sahaja bahan mempromosi ABU tanpa izin sesiapa. ABU milik rakyat.

Menyentuh mengenai Hindraf yang kononya menarik sokongan dari ABU dan kemudian dinafikan oleh Penyelaras Kebangsaannya Sambulinggam dan pimpinan dalam buangannya Waythamoorthy yang menyatakan Hindraf terus bersama ABU dan semua pihak yang menentang Umno dan Barisan Nasional. Menurut mereka kenyataan tidak bersama ABU itu cuma pendapat peribadi Uthayakumar.

Bagi SAMM yang menjadi sekutu bersama ABU kami tidak berminat dengan apa yang jadi dalam mana - mana organisasi. Tanpa atau bersama Hindraf, sentimen ABU akan terus bergerak dan terlekat dihati rakyat. Namun kami amat mengalukan Hindraf atau mana - mana organisasi atau individu yang berkongsi sentimen ini dan bergerak bersama kerana penyatuan kekuatan merupakan kelebihan dalam gerakan menumbangkan regim yang ditunjangi Umno.

Terbaru juga komen Wan Farel, Penyelaras Segmentasi Mahasiswa dalam isu melibatkan KUIN di Kedah yang sedikit dilihat menyerang Menteri Besar PR Kedah yang kemungkinan dilihat agak kontradik dengan kempen ABU yang didokong SAMM. SAMM secara penuh menyokong kenyataan Wan Farel dan menganggap ia pendirian SAMM secara rasmi.

Perlu ditegaskan dokongan SAMM terhadap ABU bukan 'cek kosong' kepada yang melawan Umno. Sokongan dan sentimen ABU berdasarkan prinsip. ABU ialah sentimen kesedaran rakyat yang ingin melihat Umno tumbang kerana keangkuhan mereka dipuncak kuasa. Namun jika mana - mana pihak khususnya yang baru berkuasa sedikit melakukan perkara yang sama maka sewajarnya ditolak.

ABu ialah milik rakyat. ABU bukan cerita siapa nak jadi YB tetapi penyatuan kuasa rakyat melawan Umno. ABU ialah menefestasi dalam PRU akan datang Umno bukan sekadar berdepan dengan Pakatan Rakyat sebagai lawan politik tetapi akan berdepan sentimen rakyat ; Asalkan Bukan Umno.

Road show ABU dan program - program berimej ABU akan terus diperhebatkan dan akan diumumkan dari masa ke semasa.

Program yang terdekat ialah Ceramah Umum memperkenalkan ABU di NS, 28 Januari 2012, 8.45 malam di Taman Seremban Selatan akan menampilkan pemimpin politik, pemimpin NGO dan aktivis masyarakat. Semua dijemput hadir.

Akidah DAP Terancam,HIMPUN Penang Harus Di Halang.

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 10:40 PM PST

Malik Kasim atau nama manjanya Malik Itik telah membuat satu laporan polis kerana dikatakan ada pihak membuat surat palsu menjemput khariah masjid untuk menyertai HIMPUN anjuran NGO pada 28 Januari di Kompleks Budi Penyayang Kepala Batas nanti.

Malik tidak pernah memberi arahan atau pun menjemput sesiapa memandangkan Lim Guan Eng tidak pernah memberi kebenaran kepada beliau untuk menyertai majlis rasis sebegitu.Harap anda semua kena FAHAM lah!

Dalam masa yang sama pihak majlis perbandaran telah diarahkan menurunkan semua banner HIMPUN di seluruh negeri memandangkan program tersebut tidak mendapat restu regim DAP.
Pihak regim DAP dan Exco Agama Islam berpendapat program HIMPUN tidak memberi faedah dan merosakan akidah fahaman DAP ,jika dibiarkan NGO ini berhimpun segala usaha regim DAP berdakwah kepada rakyat Pulau Pinang menjadi sia sia.

Jika difikirkan secara logik,pihak NGO HIMPUN sudah pasti tidak akan membuat sesuatu yang akan menjejaskan program dan kredibiliti mereka. Apa perlunya membuat surat palsu semata mata untuk mempertahankan akidah umat Islam.Takkan lah penganjur nak sabotaj program sendiri,tidakkah bodoh namanya...

Kita semua sedia maklum,Malik dan aparat melayu PKR dah sign surat mati jadi anjing DAP.Jika majlis HIMPUN mempertahankan akidah ini dijalankan ia harus diboikot memandangkan DAP melihat ia satu ancaman kepada regim negeri.

HIMPUN adalah untuk umat Islam menyatakan akan kebimbangan akidah yang sedang digugat.Tidak ada paksaan untuk hadir,kalau tak hadir pun tak kurang pun Islam anda,kalau anda ada kesempatan hadir beri sokongan syukur alhamdulilah..itu saja..

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 — The entire national cattle-farming project is still in a "mess", regardless of who said it, PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin said today.

Kenyataan Media: Autonomi untuk Universiti Mesti Merangkumi Pemansuhan AUKU

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:55 PM PST

Semalam Menteri Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin mengumumkan bahawa lima Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam – Universiti Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Putra Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia – akan diberikan autonomi. Walaubagaimanapun langkah ini tidak bermakna sekiranya Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti yang mencengkam kebebasan universiti masih berkuatkuasa.

Selama ini AUKU telah terbukti sebagai penghalang utama autonomi universiti dan kebebasan akademik. Keputusan kerajaan untuk meminda Seksyen 15 AUKU tidak membawa sebarang makna memandangkan pindaan ini tidak mengatasi budaya ketakutan dan pemusatan kuasa yang telah yang disebarkan oleh AUKU selama ini. Mahasiswa, masyarakat sivil dan pihak pembangkang telah secara konsisten menyatakan pendirian ini tetapi hanya keputusan UKM 4 yang membuatkan pihak kerajaan menerima hujah ini.

Kami juga masih menunggu jawatankuasa dwiparti yang diumumkan oleh Timbalan Menteri Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah untuk menjadi realiti. Jawatankuasa tersebut – sekiranya menjadi realiti – akan meneliti akta alternatif kepada AUKU yang telah dicadangkan oleh pimpinan mahasiswa pada 2008.

Pada masa yang sama, KEADILAN kesal dengan keputusan Kolej Universiti Insaniah Kedah (KUIN) untuk menggunakan AUKU terhadap lima mahasiswanya. Kami berharap keadilan akan tertegak di dalam kes ini dan semua negeri-negeri Pakatan menunjukkan komitmen mereka menentang AUKU dengan tidak membenarkan peristiwa tersebut berulang. Kita telah berjuang sekian lama untuk menentang ketidakadilan tersebut.

Media Statement: Autonomy for Universities must Include Dismantling UUCA

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:54 PM PST

The Minister of Higher Education Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin announced that yesterday five public universities – Universiti Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Putra Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia – are to enjoy autonomy. This move however is meaningless as the draconian University and University Colleges Act is still in force.

It has been proven time and time again that the UUCA has been a major hurdle for university autonomy and academic freedom. The government's decision to amend Section 15 of the UUCA is a lame concession as it does nothing to address the culture of fear and centralisation of power that the UUCA has engendered. Students, the civil society and the Opposition have been consistently arguing this for decades but it took the UKM 4 landmark decision for the government to finally acknowledge this fact.

Indeed, we are still waiting for the bipartisan committee that the Deputy Minister for Higher Education Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah, announced in December to materialise. Such a committee — if it does indeed take place — will look at the alternative legislation to the UUCA as proposed by student leaders in 2008.

At the same time, our party deeply regrets the decision by the Kolej Universiti Insaniah Kedah (KUIN) to apply the UUCA on five of its students. We hope that justice will prevail in this case and that all Pakatan states will show their commitment against the UUCA by not allowing a repeat of such incidents. We have fought for too long and too hard to allow such abuses of fundamental rights to continue.

Aborigines... Malaysia and Australia

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:32 PM PST

I had supper with a few Orang Asli friends last night, the same day our friends Down Under celebrated Australia Day.

Sulaiman (Sumai before he embraced Islam in 1984), 47, is a math teacher. I met him when visiting Bukit Lanjan in 1983.

"Our government is best when it comes to treating and reaching out for the Orang Asli. Over the decades, their life have changed dramatically. Even the Penans in deeper Sarawak have tasted the fruits of our development program.

"However, many still prefer to live their traditional way. They don't have to leave the jungle; the government brings schools, water, electricity and other thing to the jungle instead. We can't find this in other countries, particularly Australia," Sulaiman said.

A-ahhh... what a soothing statement. But that's fact!

Let's take a look at what happened at Australia Day yesterday.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard and opposition leader Tony Abbott fled a restaurant in Canberra after the place was besieged by protesters. The two had been presenting the National Emergency Medals at the Lobby Restaurant on King George Terrace, near the Aboriginal tent embassy.

Reports say one woman ran into the restaurant and threw white flowers at the Prime Minister.

About 200 protesters followed, banging on the three glass sides of The Lobby restaurant chanting 'shame'' and 'racist', referring to the ill-treatment given to the aborigines and the 'anti-colored' sentiment by some lawmakers last year.

The prime minister played down the incident, in which she stumbled while being dragged by security. "I am made of pretty tough stuff and the police did a great job," she said.

She refused to comment on whether Abbott should apologise for offending Aboriginal activists who were at the nearby Canberra tent embassy, celebrating its 40th anniversary.

The protesters blamed their actions on Abbott's comments earlier on Thursday that it was time to 'move on' from the tent embassy.

I think the Aussies should learn from us...

NFC:Ketua Audit Negara Sengaja Biarkan Kerajaan Di Fitnah?

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 01:46 PM PST

Apa masaalahnya hingga begitu berat untuk membuka mulut mempertahankan Audit yang dibuat oleh jabatan sendiri? Orang yang makan gaji beribu dengan kerajaan seperti Ambrin Buang tidak rasa berkepentingan untuk mempertahankan jabatan sendiri memandangkan hanya menunggu masa untuk pencen.Mungkin berasakan lebih baik tutup mulut,bulan bulan gaji masyuk! Cukup masa blah kemudian makan pencen pulak!Yang menjadi mangsa adalah kerajaan!

Menjadi persoalan kenapa selepas 3 bulan baru Ambrin tampil ke depan untuk menjawab segala kekeliruan dan fitnah yang dilemparkan oleh puaka puaka PKR?

ISU audit National Fedlot Corporation (NFC) menjadi kelam kabut hasil laporan audit dan bagaikan nampak ada niat tidak baik di sebalik laporan tersebut hingga menjadi modal pembangkang untuk menyerang kerajaan hari ini. Setelah ramai pihak mendesak ketelusan laporan itu, Ambrin mula berdolak dalik.Sekejap beliau kata rugi,sekejap pula beliau kata salah urus dan berbaga-bagai lagi alasan diberikan apabila diasak.Lihat disini..

Beliau menjadikan laporan audit zaman beliau ini seperti telah menjadi satu hukuman sebelum bicara sedangkan tugas beliau hanyalah membuat pemerhatian audit dan memberikan syor pembaiokan semata-mata dan bukannya menghukum salah laku atau sebagaina kerana apa yang audit temui belum tentu berlaku penyalahgunaan kuasa atau wujud penyelwengan kerana mungkin system kerja sahaja yang tidak sesuai.

Sejak beliau mengambil alih jawatan Ketua Audit Negara berbagai-bagai kontraversi timbul dan ketua Audit Negara ini seolah-olah menjadi diri beliau bersih,dilihat bersih tetapi sudah ada yang mula bertanya mengapa tiada isu projek-projek Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM) yang diluluskan semasa beliau menjawat jawatan Ketua Setiausaha (KSU) dalam laporan audit sebelum ini.

Sebelum ini ada isu KPM dibangkitkan dalam laporan audit semasa beliau dilantik KSU KPM dan selepas beliau memegang jawatan KSU KPM seperti contoh projek air dan makmal komputera yang terbengkalai di Sabah kerana projek tersebut dilaksanakan zaman beliau tetapi tidak selesai di zaman beliau juga.

Kalau benarlah,kita hairan kerana ada pegawai-pegawai kata mereka tidak dibenarkan untuk audit projek-projek KPM semasa beliau menjadi KSU kementerian tersebut dan kita tidak pasti sejauh mana kebenaran cakap-cakap ini tetapi kalau kita melihat kepada perkembangan audit,rasa macam betul sahaja cakap-cakap itu.

Malah barangkali kerana kecewa dengan gelagat dan menunjuk kuasa Ketua Audit Negara ketika ini,sudah ada yang mula bercakap tetapi kita tidak tahu sejauh mana benarnya apabila ada yang mendakwa bahawa semasa Ambrin menjadi KSU KPM,beliau dikatakan telah mengeluarkan Surat Setuju Terima (SST) Letter Of Award/Acceptence satu projek Sekolah Teknik baru di Beoufort,Sabah pada tahun 2004 sedangkan ianya tidak mempunyai peruntukan mencukupi untuk melaksanakannya dalam RMK8.

Tetapi SST dikeluarkan juga dengan cara bayaran tertangguh dan dibayar dalam RMK9 dan ini telah menimbulkan persoalan,bolehkah dikeluarkan SST kepada syarikat sedangkan projek tersebut sepatutnya dibina dan disiapkan dalam RMK8(jika betul ada) dan memang tidak dicadangkan untuk dilaksanakan dalam RMK9 malah beluam lagi diluluskan oleh Parlimen?

Jika ini boleh berlaku,apa akan jadi jika semua projek yang belum diluluskan oleh kerajaan boleh dikeluarkan SST oleh KSU yang semestinya merupakan satu surat ikatan atau kontrak yang mengikat kerajaan dari segi kewangan kerana jika obligasi dilanggar,kerajaan boelh di saman di mahkamah untuk menuntut gantirugi. Kalau semua KSU berkuasa seperti itu dan boleh buat seperti itu,apa gunanya Parlimen meluluskan projek terlebih dahulu sebelum satua-satu RMK dibentang dan dibahaskan?

Jika betul projek yang disebut itu penting rasanya lebih penting lagi projek naiktaraf sekolah-sekolah daif di luar Bandar Sabah kerana ada sekolah yang sudah mahu reput,ada yang tiada bekalan air dan letrik dan kita diberitahu Sekolah teknik yang terlalu besar itu tiada keperluan sangat untuk dibangunkan pada masa itu dan difahamkan kos pembinaannya mencecah RM100 juta.

Kalau dikumpulkan jumlah pelajar untuk layak dari seluruh Negeri Sabah pun masih tidak mampu untuk memenuhkan sekolah tersebut dan dengar ceritanya sekolah tersebut telahpun ditukarkan menjadi sekolah vokasional.

Apakah keutamaaan projek ini pada masa itu,pada masa Ketua Audit Negara menjadi KSU KPM berbanding dengan projek-projek lain sehingga ianya perlu diawardkan dalam RMK8 untuk bajet RMK9 yang belum diluluskan oleh Parlimen.

Dakwaan tentang kerja-kerja Ambrin sebagai KSU sebelum ini sudah mula bertaburan dijaja,permulaan kepada jajaan ini adalah dakwaan bahawa zaman beliau menjadi KSU KPM pun banyak penyelewengan seperti yang dibentangkan di atas dan sekiranya ini semua benar,Sruruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah (SPRM) harus menyiasat dan membawa ke muka pengadilan sesiapa sahaja yang terlibat.

Kita juga mengharapkan entity syraikat menyaman Ketua Audit Negara ini supaya kuasanya dalam menjalankan kerja-kerja audit tidak disalah anggap atau diperjelaskan kerana nampak akhir-akhir ini terutamanya menjelang PRU13,Ketua Audit Negara seperti mahu bermain politik ala menyokong pembangkang.

Kita bimbang Ketua Audit Negara terlalu banyak cakap dan kadang-kadang seperti lempar batu sembunyi tangan,orang lain pula mula membongkar tentang beliau sebelum ini.Kita tidak mahu nanti ada yang menyifatkan Ketua Audit Negara ini seperti ayam,kokoknya berderai tapi ekor bergelumang tahi.

His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight.

He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.

Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger.

He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'.

The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.

Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.'

'Why?' asked the pilot

'Because I'm a photographer for CNN' , he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.'

The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally h e stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'

Pereka Australia Sahkan Media Pakatan Fitnah Rosmah

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:00 AM PST

Kenapa pakatan begitu hadap sangat dengan berita gosip hingga menjadikan berita utama untuk fitnah isteri PM.

Kalau benci sekali pun pada Ds Rosmah carilah fakta yang betul,bila dah kantoi macam ni siapa yang malu? Malaysiakini dah berpuluh kali kantoi berbohong,propa kamu dah overkill kemudian bunuh kredibeliti diri sendiri. Tidakkah bodoh namanya.

Style Malaysiakini cuma ada 2,kalau tak fitnah mereka akan jadi batu api lagakan orang lain.Bila dah terjadi isu besar hingga dibawa ke mahkamah,artikel dipadam dan Malaysiakini cuci tangan berlagak seolah olah nothing happen.Korang tengoklah isu NFC,semua artikel fitnah dipadam selepas Shahrizat saman Zuraida dan Rafizi.
Kalau tak fitnah kenapa buang artikel?

Yang jadi wartawan Malaysiakini gaji dibayar 7-8 ribu sebulan, itukah nilai untuk membuat fitnah terhadap orang lain?

Pereka Australia, Carl Kapp pada Rabu membuat penjelasan mengenai dakwaan bahawa Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor membelanjakan A$100,000 (kira-kira RM325, 000) di Sydney semasa lawatannya ke sana baru-baru ini dengan 'kumpulan yang agak besar'.

Kapp menerusi kenyataannya menjelaskan, pembelian yang dibuat oleh isteri Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak itu dibuat bersama kumpulannya termasuk mereka yang terlibat dengan Festival Fesyen Islamik di mana beliau menjadi penaungnya.

"Saya ingin menjelaskan mengenai kenyataan saya berhubung kunjungan klien saya ini, saya tidak pernah nyatakan jumlah sebenar yang dibelanjakan di kedai saya.

"Pihak Datin Seri rosmah datang ke kedai kami dalam kumpulan yang besar dan semasa kunjungannya, pihak beliau termasuk kenalannyan, pengerusi dan penganjur Festival Fesyen Islamik telah membuat pembelian berasingan dan pelbagai.

"Saya percaya Datin Seri Rosmah adalah penaung kepada festival fesyen itu," katanya menerusi kenyataan kepada Malaysiakini.

Rosmah sebelum ini telah menafikan dakwaan bahawa beliau seorang yang boros malah menyifatkan menjadi mangsa kepada kepada tuduhan liar pihak-pihak tertentu.

Dalam pada itu Kapp turut menafikan dakwaan bahawa beliau telah diterbangkan ke Malaysia semata-mata untuk kepentingan Rosmah.

"Perkara ini juga tidak tepat. Lawatan ke beberapa bahagian di Asia termasuk Malaysia dibuat bagi tujuan pemasaran serta untuk mencari material bagi produk terbaru kami. Ia termasuk dalam jadual kerja saya dan ia adalah urusan perniagaan yang biasa.

"Pada pandangan kami adalah tidak adil sebuah artikel memberi gambaran bahawa Carl Kapp sebagai sebuah syarikat yang tidak berhemah malah sedia mendedahkan maklumat peribadi mengenai klien kami," katanya.-Mstar

Hindraf terus bersama ABU

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 03:27 AM PST

Hindaf terus bersama ABU dan mendokong usaha menukar parti pemerintah kerajaan Malaysia - Waythamoorthy klik http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2012/01/26/brother-its-uthayakumars-personal-view/

GEORGE TOWN: P Uthayakumar's statement that Hindraf Makkal Sakti has withdrawn its support for the Anything But Umno (ABU) movement is his personal stand, said his brother.

According to Hindraf Makkal Sakti chairman Waythamoorthy, the movement respected Uthayakumar's view, but had reached a collective stand to the contrary.

He said Hindraf's official stand was to fully support and cooperate with ABU because "ousting Umno from Putrajaya is a common goal for all."

"We in Hindraf respect his views though collectively we differ from his personal opinions. Hindraf's voice is a mix of its grassroots supporters, not based on an individual," he added.

Yesterday, Human Rights Party (HRP), Hindraf's political offshoot, information chief S Jayathas issued a statement that a five-member Hindraf supreme council had decided to pull out from ABU.

The statement advised supporters not to attend any future ABU forums, in light of the violent attack on Hindraf activists in Jalan Kebun, Shah Alam on Jan 21.

The statement also listed Uthayakumar as Hindraf's de facto leader.

However, when contacted this morning, Jayathas failed to clarify who appointed Uthayakumar to this post and when was it done.

Asked why Uthayakumar had previously declared Waythamoorthy as Hindraf's leader and that he was only a legal advisor, Jayathas said it was to stop certain quarters from manipulating the issue.

A few minutes later, Jayathas uploaded a 2007 Wikipedia posting on the HRP website which referred to Uthayakumar as "Hindraf de facto leader."

On the five-man supreme council, Jayathas claimed that it was formed well before Hindraf's mammoth street protest on Nov 25, 2007 and its members were P Karuna, P Siva, K Waran, besides Uthayakumar and himself.

Asked why the supreme council was never publicised before, he said: "We laid low. But now, we want to be active."

'We can't do it alone'

Meanwhile, Waythamoorthy stressed that Hindraf's collective official stand was to support any third force from the Peninsular, Sabah and Sarawak to "dethrone Umno and its mandores from Putrajaya".

He said Hindraf would continue to work in tandem and move forward with any force that had a similar agenda to ABU's.

"We will work with anyone to end Umno and their mandores' atrocities against society, especially the poor and marginalised communities," the London-based activist told FMT.

Hindraf's decision to adopt a multi-pronged strategy and engage with any third party forces to oust Umno was made at the movement's second annual convention held on Dec 4, 2011.

Uthayakumar did not attend the convention.

Waythamoorthy said Hindraf had consistently fought to end Umno's rule but realised that it could not do this on its own.

He said Hindraf's cooperation with third forces against Umno was solely based on a consensus that human rights and equality should be across the board starting with the poorest groups.

He said Hindraf coordinators unanimously agreed that a concerted effort from all parties irrespective of race, religion or creed was the best way to address the issue of the poor and marginalised Malaysian Indians and those in a similar position.

"Hindraf can never do it alone, without cooperating with others who have common goals," he said.

CNY: Sellers' market in coffee shops

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 01:14 AM PST

With influx of relations from out of town, restaurants and coffee shops are packed with customers. Even newspapers ran out earlier than usual.

For those with unpleasant experience of having to wait for seats, longer wait for food, and generally poor service, they avoided such places during the first 3 days, for example. Today is the fourth day of the new Lunar year, and many had returned to KL or other places of work on the second day. Yet the crowds remained.

During normal days, at familiar places, we were given special treatment like ordering a pot of hot water for our own Chinese tea leaves, after our round of tea or coffee. We are charged between Rm1 and Rm2 for a few topping up. Today, at Yong Fong in Pusing, we were politely told by Yong that he could not entertain us because he had turned down other such requests, even those who did not bring their own tea leaves. Reason was simple: to prevent customers from sitting too long at the table after their meals! Most food stalls added extra Rm1 or so to their normal charges. Basically, because of the greater demand, it was 'take it or leave it'. What a difference! ...especially when we know under normal circumstances, some shops or stalls were crying out for business because there are actually too many shops serving limited number of customers, going from one shop to another daily.

PAS Kata Guan Eng Bohong Sunat ,Langsai Hutang 600 juta

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 03:35 AM PST

Seluruh negeri heboh memperkatakan kehebatan regim DAP langsai hutang 600 juta,orang kampung,makcik pakcik semua kata Guan Eng hebat .

Bukan saja orang kampung,yang kerja pejabat beraircond yang dikatakan "cerdik pandai" pun kata Guan Eng hebat.

Bukan saja di Pulau Pinang,diseluruh negara dari kampung hinggalah ke Putrajaya kata Guan Eng hebat.

Para pemimpin pakatan turut berkata Guan Eng hebat. Apa yang hebat sangat ni?

Sebenarnya Guan Eng memang hebat tapi dia hebat menipu dan bohong rakyat! Bila dah kantoi menipu mula mengaku hutang kerajaan negeri bukan dia yang selesaikan.Kerajaan Pusat yang bantu lupuskan hutang 600juta.

Dah kantoi bohong dia terpaksa jawab tapi penuh dengan keangkuhan kononnya hard bargain,piraah! Dia sendiri yang ucap terima kasih kat Najib sekarang dia cakap lain.

GEORGE TOWN: Hard bargaining by the Penang Government with the Federal Government is the reason for the state's success in reducing its debt reduction.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the hard bargain had resulted in the Federal Government taking over the state government's RM630mil in water supply loans.

"These water debts were not incurred by us, but we managed to strike a hard bargain with the Federal Government to take these over when we signed over the state's water-related assets.

"We refused to sign the water deal (with the Federal Government's Pengurusan Aset Air Bhd) until they agreed to our conditions.

"At the end of the day, no one can dispute that our debts have been greatly reduced and future generations of Penangites will not be saddled with this burden," Guan Eng said yesterday.

He said that in addition to the water debt being solved, the water deal also ensured that the expansion of the Mengkuang Dam in Bukit Mertajam would be borne by the Federal Government while the dam's ownership was retained by the state.

On Monday, Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Donald Lim was reported as chiding Guan Eng for allegedly misleading the public into thinking that the state had settled the loan on its own.

Guan Eng had claimed that the Penang government had successfully reduced its debt from RM630mil in March 2008 to RM30mil in October last year through prudent and transparent financial management.-Thestar

ABU-HINDRAF FRACAS – SIGNS OF A FAILED POLICE FORCE

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 11:00 PM PST

The ABU-Hindraf gathering at Jalan Kebun, Shah Alam on 21 January 2012 that ended up being roughed up by Malay thugs and ruffians allegedly at the behest of UMNO and in connivance with the local police proves that this country is at the verge of a total collapse of civility, respect and tolerance. Viewing the video that was uploaded in several blogs, it was clear that the fracas was started by a group of thugs led by one Muhamad Razali alias Baharom. I do not know if he is from the force or paid by someone to create trouble, but one thing was certain i.e. from the language uttered by the thug, it was derogatory aimed at the Indian community intent at causing a riot.

My question is what if it were an Indian gay that started the fracas and the audience were mainly Malays? I am quite sure there will be a riot and the police will be there in droves and in double quick time making the arrest. What is actually happening to this country today, especially that of the police force that is suppose to protect us? Is the government in control or have they lost the interest to run this country? Or has that responsibility to govern being handed over to the police? Can Home Minister Hishamuddin say something please? Where are the 60,000 security guards that the government has been talking about? Blue Ocean strategy they say.

I am utterly disgusted at the initial response by the state police officer whose remark reflects total ignorance, arrogance, lack responsibility and incompetency. I just wonder where he was when the trouble was brewing. Was he at home or attending a kenduri kahwin somewhere? Wasn't he briefed by his officers or was the briefing given by the thugs themselves? And now he comes up with a statement that they have arrested six people whose age ranges from 16 to 19 years old. But the video shows that the main perpetrator to be someone much older and a fatso. Why hasn't this thug being arrested? Or has he being told to go into hiding until all is safe and clear?

If this is what we call efficiency of the police force, then I beg to differ. If the police had responded well and professionally, they could have affected arrest that same night because there was police presence that was witnessed to the fracas. Obviously the policemen that were there had the slightest clue of how to react and to control the situation. This clearly shows the standard of training of the policemen now that were no better than the Rela guards. I am sorry to say this because I have many police friends, but I believe they too are equally disappointed at the lack of professionalism in the policemen. Had they been some military gays, I would have hit at them much harder.

I do not know if the six and several others will be charged for causing a public disturbance. Whatever the outcome, the punishment must be seen to be punitive and not just a simple fine and a warning. This incident could have caused a racial riot that we do not wish to experience it once more.

The intrusive Stranger?

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 08:10 PM PST

Or, Stranger who overstayed his welcome?

A few years after I was born, my Dad met a 'stranger' who was new to our small town.

From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family.

The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on.

As I grew up, I never questioned his place in my family.

In my young mind, he had a special niche.

My parents were complementary instructors:

Mom taught me good from evil, and Dad taught me to obey.

But the stranger... He was our storyteller.

He would keep us spellbound for hours on end with adventures, mysteries and comedies.

If I wanted to know anything about politics, history or science, he always knew the answers about the past, understood the present and even seemed able to predict the future!

He took my family to the first major league ball game.

He made me laugh, and he made me cry.

The stranger never stopped talking, but Dad didn't seem to mind.

Sometimes, Mom would get up quietly while the rest of us were shushing each other to listen to what he had to say, and she would go to the kitchen for peace and quiet.
(I wonder now if she ever prayed for the stranger to leave.)

Dad ruled our household with certain moral convictions, but the stranger never felt obligated to honor them.

Profanity, for example, was not allowed in our home - not from us, our friends or any visitors.

After our long time visitor stayed longer he became more daring however, and even got away with four-letter words that burned my ears and made my dad squirm and my mother blush.

My Dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol but the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis.

He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly, and pipes distinguished.

He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex.

His comments were sometimes blatant, sometimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing..

I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger.

Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked...

And NEVER asked to leave.

More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family.

He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first.

Still, if you could walk into my parents' den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures.

His name?... We just call him "TV".
He has a wife now....we call her "Computer".
Their first child is "Cell Phone".
Second child "I Pod".

I suppose, now we can't even live without him and his family around!

'PwC'gate to audit 'Cow'gate?

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 08:07 PM PST

The latest news is, PriceWaterhouseCoopers will be appointed the auditing firm for National Feedlot Corporation. Its already a market talk, and DPM Muhyiddin Yassin is said to have given it a go.

Why PwC, a firm plagued with 'scandals' and misconstruing its professional ethic? Ask why Maxis boss Ananda Krishnan is mad about it!

Don't we have other credible auditing firm for the job? Being a big name and a foreign-based company does not always guarantee satisfactory result, isn't it?

Apart from scandalising the court (there is an ongoing case against the firm at the Kuala Lumpur High Court) with fabricated evidence and documents, PwC is also believed to tamper with auditing reports for Felda listing.

Read this article here. It posed a question to Muhyiddin: "Tan Sri, can you imagine Chin Kwai Fatt (pic), the MD of PwC Malaysia, and master of document fabrication, auditing Cowgate?"

It says, Chin Kwai Fatt is now trapped by the fact that one of the documents he has fabricated in an ongoing Kuala Lumpur High Court case not only contradicts his own witness statement, but also the amended defense of all the defendants.

And I agree to this - Why is the Auditor General's report not enough for the truth about the NFC to be made public?

A-ahhh... looks like things start to brew again...

Rumah Murahan Regim DAP Pulau Pinang,Mansor Malukan Guan Eng

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 04:50 PM PST

Ini cerita pembinaan rumah murah di Pulau Pinang,negeri dibawah regim DAP tak pernah lupa kepada orang orang kaya dan rakyat asing dengan membina rumah mewah dengan harga tak patut untuk penduduk Penang.

Dalam sidang dewan hinggalah kepada ceramah di seluruh negara.Bermula dengan Lim Guan Eng hinggalah kepada Lee Man Chor(Dr Mansor TKM1) .Kata kepala regim dan gembalanya mereka berjaya membina rumah murah sebaik saja memerintah di Pulau Pinang.
Selepas berkoyan koyan pembohongan,putar belit,cetak risalah tipu dan edar ke seluruh negeri.Kesemuanya mendapat sambutan hangat dengan sorakan dan sokongan padu daripada yang berotak kacang.

Jom kita flashback artikel Pisau pada 2011:

Buletin lidah bercabang yang memperbodohkan rakyat Pulau Pinang ternyata terlalu banyak berbohong. Inilah yang dikatakan Cekap putar belit,Auta Sana Sini dan Terus Berbohong .

Pisau percaya dengan buletin ini seluruh rakyat Pulau Pinang tertanya tanya dimanakah lokasi 11 ribu rumah murah yang dikatakan dibina oleh regim DAP.

Taman Sungai Duri Permai dan Taman Sungai Duri Indah dirancang dan diluluskan oleh kerajaan BN. Jadi dimanakah yang dikatakan rumah murah yang dibina oleh regim DAP?

Guan Eng kata telah bina 11,596 rumah berharga kos rendah dan sederhana berharga antara RM42 ribu hingga ke RM72 ribu dan daripada jumlah tersebut, 3,421 buah rumah sahaja yang telah dibina oleh kerajaan dan selebihnya oleh pihak swasta.
Tapi pembaca nampak dan tau tak kat mana lokasi? Guan Eng tak pernah bagi tau di manakah perumahan terbabit dibina.

Satu lagi persoalan rumah murah di Daerah Timur Laut,berapa peratuskah rumah murah yang diperuntukkan kepada bumiputra?

GuanEng lu punya taichi sudah basi,lu punya tipu semua orang sudah tau.Sekadar memaklumkan rumah murah yang diLULUSKAN tetapi tidak pula menyatakan berapa banyak yang SIAP DIBINA ternyata fakta retorik Guan Eng menjadi bahawa ketawa rakyat Pulau Pinang.

BN Pulau Pinang harus berterima kasih kepada regim DAP yang bersusah payah menghantar Buletin Mutiara ke setiap rumah di seluruh negeri Pulau Pinang,sekurang kurangnya dapat menyedarkan rakyat bahawa regim DAP sebenarnya lebih banyak berbohong daripada membuat kerja.

Tiada rumah murah:klik sini

Tapi bak kata orang tua tua,pembohong selalunya pelupa,hari tu dia cakap lain,hari ni dia cakap lain.Dr Mansor memang ada niat nak jatuhkan Guan Eng kah?

GEORGETOWN: Pulau Pinang muncul negeri pertama memperuntukkan jumlah terbesar bagi pembinaan rumah mampu milik untuk tahun 2012.

Peruntukan sebanyak RM500 juta khusus bagi Dana Perumahan Mampu Milik itu adalah membabitkan semua kaum di negeri berkenaan.

Timbalan Ketua Menteri I, Datuk Mansor Othman, berkata peruntukan itu membabitkan 15,000 unit rumah mampu milik yang akan dilaksanakan di Bandar Batu Kawan.

"Ia berharga antara RM72,000 hingga RM220,000 seunit di lokasi terbabit yang berkeluasan 200 ekar. Projek ini membuktikan lagi kerajaan negeri prihatin mewujudkan institusi keluarga yang sempurna.

"Sejak mengambil-alih pentadbiran Pulau Pinang pada 2008, kerajaan negeri sudah mewujudkan lebih 1,500 unit rumah mampu milik di seluruh Pulau Pinang dengan kerjasama Perbadanan Pembangunan Pulau Pinang (PDC)," katanya.-blog Mansor Othman

GuanEng kata 3,421 rumah murah dibina oleh pihak swasta dan selebihnya dibina oleh regim DAP daripada jumlah 11,596.

Dr Mansor kata hanya bina 1,500, jauh beza tu,mana pi rumah murah yang lain?

Guan Eng umum banyak rumah murah ,Man chot umum rumah murah murah,tapi orang penang sendiri pun tak tau lokasi kat mana,depa buat atas bumbung Komtar kot?!

Lepas 4 tahun baru umum ?Itu pun lepas puas bohong sana sini habis busuk satu negeri dengan kencing pakatan.Janji pakatan serupa bohjan tabur janji ngorat awek jer..bila dah dapat dia bikin serupa touch n go !

Geneticist clarifies role of Proto-Malays in human origin

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 01:30 PM PST

Leading Oxford University geneticist Dr Stephen Oppenheimer is taken aback by how politically charged the research into the origins of human population is in Malaysia.

Most recently, strong reaction had arisen over media coverage of a conference on the origins of the Malay race, which marked the Orang Asli - the Senoi, Semang and the Proto-Malays - as torchbearers of the modern human race.

NONEClarifying this finding in an interview last week, Oppenheimer said the Orang Asli, particularly the Semang and the Proto-Malays are direct descendants of the first humans who stepped foot in South-East Asia (then Sunda), and are "ancestral" for east Asia and the Americas.-mkini

The Christian Bogeymen

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 10:56 AM PST

The Christians bear the brunt of it again.

It was recently 'revealed' by a state exco that the state's religious department has in their possession 'talking bibles' purportedly used for proselytizing to Muslims. This was the follow up to his earlier claims that the Christians are using solar-powered talking bibles to try and covert the Muslim ummah to embrace the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

This latest incredulous claim is part of a larger narrative; that there is a 'Christianisation' movement to try to convert the whole country and turn it into a 'Christian state'. So convinced are they of the Christian threat to the faith of Muslims that a number of Malay-Muslim NGOs have formed a coalition in order to 'save' the faith of Muslims from this Christianisation wave. At the time of writing, the coalition has garnered some 12,000 or so 'likes' on Facebook. Which is rather ironic, as the very same coalition charged that Facebook exposes young Muslims to apostasy.

In the middle of last year, a blogger claimed that there were moves by the Christian community to install a Christian prime minister and to amend the Constitution to make Christianity as the official religion of the Federation. The incredulous claim was picked up by a Malay-language newspaper who carried it as if it is the gospel truth. Yet to date, neither blogger nor newspaper has provided proof of their assertions.

That very same Malay-language newspaper has also alleged that the Bersih 2.0 coalition is being funded by Christian groups overseas. The objective? Purportedly a change of government through street protests. We also saw last year how a state religious authority raided a church in Damansara for allegedly attempting to convert Muslims.

Not forgetting the constant threats the Christians pose to the faithful through things like Valentine's Day, Santa Claus and Christmas greetings. Some even go so far as to 'read' symbols of Freemasonary and Illuminati into mundane things and linking them to them to Christianity.

On top of being constantly demonised, Christians also have to contend with impediments to their constitutional right to profess and practice their religion.

Some want to regulate and dictate what are the names they can call their God. Their holy books have been confiscated and defaced. They struggle just to obtain permission to build their houses of worships. Then, some of these places of worship are themselves torched. Even the relatively harmless activity of Christmas caroling now requires a police permit.

In short, it would appear that everything that is wrong in this country is directly or indirectly the fault of Christians. Christians, to them, are like a plague upon the nation, one that must be confronted and combated before it becomes a bigger menace.

I could never understand this paranoia. Perhaps, it is because I have lived my whole life surrounded by Christians and Christianity. My alma mater, a school in Petaling Jaya, was founded by missionaries. Walk around its halls and you will many vestiges of the missionary school of yore. I spent years walking around in its compound under the shadow of a very noticeable cross. Once, a couple of parents wanted to remove the cross, but the objections from everyone else meant that the idea remained an idea. I was never tempted or wondered about switching school.

Some of my closest friends are Christians. Yet never have I once been proselytised by them. They have not even questioned the faith I have in my faith, even if religion is far from being a taboo subject to us. Surely if there was indeed a movement, why have they not tried to convert me?

My involvement with the MyConstitution campaign also meant that I had to visit a lot of churches for events and workshops. We would be treated with wonderful hospitality, but I have never been asked to leave my faith.

It saddens me when these allegations are banded about my fellow Malaysians in the name of my religion. When I know of so many Christians who are so passionate about their country, who are contributing their blood, sweat and tears to make a better Malaysia, yet treated as if they are high level national security threats. It is heartening to note that Christians of Malaysia have reacted with calm, turning their collective cheeks and still loving their neighbours.

I believe a lot of the paranoia and demonisation of Christians are due to ignorance. For some reason, these people see Christians as a homogenous and singular community. That is why they buy into the idea of a Christian conspiracy. Yet to see Christians as one entity betrays their lack of knowledge in the history of the religion we know of as Christianity. That is why a Protestant church was firebombed when the challenge in Court to use the name 'Allah' was brought by Catholics. They know not of the difference.

Prejudice and paranoia are difficult to eradicate. Even more difficult when you are constantly bombarded with propaganda. Yet it must be done, for what other choice do we have? After all, is it not true that God help those who help themselves?

Tua Pek Kong temple at Pasir Panjang, near Sitiawan

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 09:33 AM PST

I first heard about this tourist attraction when in a Pusing coffeeshop. I was told there are organized tours from Pusing which include lunch. Fellow retirees decided to make a trip by car which I did not join in. But I had a look at the brochure and have a rough idea how to get there.

Today, wife said, 'Why not make a trip to the temple and see what it's like?' At the KFC junction in Sitiawan, we turned left towards Kg. Koh, a place which we used to go to for seafood meals. Past Kg. Koh, I looked for Jalan Pasir Panjang on the right, which was well sign-posted. We also saw a sign to Kuan Yin temple which reassured us that we were on the right track.

We could see many cars going in as well as coming out, presumably from the temple. Though there was a kenduri nearby, most cars were indeed heading there. We decided to park near a field next to a building under construction, well away from it to avoid getting caught in the traffic jam. It was a long walk and there were hundreds of cars parked all the way there! There were more cars in the car park within the compound next to the sea. I was actually bothered by the idea that the locals, especially the Malay residents, might complain about frequent traffic jams, especially during public holidays. I found it amazing that a temple with some granite statues and basic landscaping could attract such a large crowd. But among the visitors, most are devotees who actually prayed, which explained it.

There was a section which is named 'Taman Monyet' or Monkey Garden, but the Chinese translation was actually Fruits Garden! It is a man-made concrete pathway crudely constructed without any consideration for conservation of the mangrove trees, as evidenced from the dead trees on both sides. Rubbish thrown by inconsiderate visitors could be seen floating in the water. No monkeys nor fruit trees could be found, which wasn't surprising.

I searched the internet and found the following report which helps me in explaining...

NST: The gods must be happy at Tua Pek Kong

http://www.nst.com.my/streets/northern/the-gods-must-be-happy-at-tua-pek-kong-1.9931

Even with my limited knowledge, I think I can explain or find fault (in italics) in the following excerpt from that article:

"Taking centre stage is the gigantic Da Bo Gong (Tua Pek Kong) statue, along with statues of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, Yu Nu, Guan Yin Niang Niang, Jin Tong, Wu Guan, Wen Guan, Qian Li Yan, Ma Zu, Shun Feng Er and Hu Ye.

Below these statues, on the cement courtyard, are 24 smaller statues of various Chinese demigods who are said to have mystical powers. (These are actually known in Cantonese as 'yee sup sei hau' or 24 examples of filial piety; as a kid, I used to see them in calendars sponsored by a paint company, and the most memorable example was that of a mother allowing her aged and poorly father-in-law to suckle her milk, at the expense of her baby!)

Outside the courtyard are statues of a monkey, pig, horseman, and a man with a staff of demigods.

At the right side of the main temple are nine statues lining the sides of the garden path leading to three man-made caves containing three small deities." (There are actually 18 statues, representing the 18 Immortals (btw, not the gang by that name!).

"Malay Traitors" Join DAP ???

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 09:12 AM PST

The latest on the road to PRU13 is the (non) issue of some Malays turning "traitors" by joining DAP. Quite a number of bloggers have taken up this (non) issue, some UMNO politicians have asked DAP to "reveal" how many Malays there are in DAP.
One fact is not disputed – that DAP is a legally registered political party and is in fact the government of Pulau Pinang.

Rais Yatim:Kurangkan prejudis, tingkatkan perpaduan

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 07:00 AM PST

Sejak dari dulu hinggalah sekarang,Pemimpin dan kerajaan BN tidak pernah lupa mengingatkan akan peri pentingnya keharmonian kaum,toleransi dan saling hormat menghormati.

Politik BN sejak dari dulu menyemai kesepakatan,namun pasca PRU12 politik perkauman memuncak apabila petualang dan pengkhianat negara menyemai politik benci,menghasut membenci satu sama lain.

DAP adalah parti paling utama yang begitu kuat memainkan politik rasis,malah sikap mereka yang chauvanis dan ultrakiasu dipamerkan dalam setiap kempen pilihanraya.

PAS melalui Nizar juga menyemai politik perpecahan apabila menghasut kononnya Umno mahu makan darah orang cina:klik sini

Pakatan haprak terutamanya Anwar turut memainkan peranan menyemai perpecahan,PKR melalui aparat paling busuk Chegubard baru baru ini turut menghasut kaum India menghentam orang melayu,namun gagal apabila lebih seribu kaum India keluar daripada PKR tidak lama selepas itu.

Pecah dan perintah,itulah matlamat pakatan,perpecahan dan pergolakan kaum adalah resepi utama untuk meraih undi.Negara tidak aman adalah menjadi matlamat aparat pakatan untuk mengambil alih negara.

Selamatkan MALAYSIA daripada haprak pakatan!

JELEBU 24 Jan. — Sempena sambutan Tahun Baru Cina, masyarakat seharusnya mengambil peluang melakukan pembaharuan dengan mengurangkan perasaan prejudis atau prasangka terhadap kaum lain.

Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan, Datuk Seri Dr. Rais Yatim berkata, pada sambutan perayaan itu, masyarakat juga seharusnya meningkatkan persefahaman dengan berusaha memahami budaya kaum lain, sekali gus dapat mewujudkan suasana perpaduan.

"Jadi amalan ini, perlu kita buat dan saya berharap pada 28 Januari ini apabila kita mengadakan majlis rumah terbuka Tahun Baru Cina di Sitiawan, dapat kita semarakkan perhimpunan itu sebagai batu loncatan kepada peningkatan perpaduan dan persefahaman kita.

"Soal persefahaman ini banyak disebut tapi amalannya cukup sukar untuk dilaksanakan," katanya semasa mengadakan kunjungan sempena perayaan Tahun Baru Cina di kediaman Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Chennah, Datuk Siow Chen Pin di sini semalam.

Katanya, setiap kaum sama ada menerusi wakil politik atau badan-badan bukan kerajaan perlu membudayakan amalan kunjung-mengunjung pada majlis rumah terbuka bagi menggalakkan suasana muhibah antara kaum. - BERNAMA

Hindraf Mula Sedar Di Permainkan Chegubardtuya dan ABU

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 10:30 AM PST

Chegubardtuya dan ABU diludah oleh pemimpin Hindraf kerana tindakan mereka mengheret NGO haram itu kepada persengketaan kaum diantara kaum india dan melayu di Kampung Jalan Kebun.

Bardtuya yang merencanakan provokasi melihat peluang untuk memecahbelahkan keharmonian kaum agar kaum India kembali menyokong PKR. Paling malang selang sehari daripada provokasi Bardtuya ,lebih seribu orang kaum India ahli PKR telah keluar parti di Kelana Jaya baru baru ini.

Kaum India sememangnya menyedari pakatan rakyat sudah kehabisan modal maka politik perkauman saja yang mereka ada untuk menarik sokongan.

Hindraf dan kaum India keseluruhannya sememangnya sudah tidak percaya dengan politik murahan PKR.

Hindraf does not support ABU, but supports 'ABUR' (Anything But Umno and Pakatan Rakyat Racism)

(Free Malaysia Today) - The Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) has withdrawn its support for the "Anything But Umno" (ABU) movement and has advised members against attending ABU events.

In a statement today, Hindraf supreme council member, S Jayathas, said that the decision was reached following an emergency meeting of the five-member Hindraf supreme council chaired by de facto leader P Uthayakumar (photo).

Hindraf said that it was not siding with any party but will fight against racism directed against the Indians.

"Hindraf does not support ABU, but supports 'ABUR' (Anything But Umno and Pakatan Rakyat Racism)," said Jayathas.

"Hindraf will not allow ABU, Bersih (election watchdog), Pakatan or any other party to make use of Hindraf for their personal agenda," he added.

This statement comes in the wake of an incident last Saturday when an event jointly organised by ABU and Hindraf in Jalan Kebun, Klang, was disrupted by alleged Umno supporters.

In the fracas that ensued, one Hindraf supporter was injured. Participants said that racist slurs were hurled against the Indians present at the event.

Hindraf added that the decision (to withdraw support for ABU) was arrived following a video clip of the alledged assault.

Subsequently, Hindraf has been receiving numerous phone calls regarding the incident.

Police counter report on 'assault by drunk cop' claim

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 01:27 AM PST

Source: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/187302 (By Aidila Razak 22/1/2012)
Three separate police reports have been lodged in relation to the claim by businessman Khoo Gin Seong that he was assaulted by a drunk plainclothes police officer. The first report was lodged by police against Khoo for causing damage at a restaurant in Bukit Sentosa, Hulu Selangor district police chief Norel Azmi Affandi Yahya said late last night.
"Complainant Korporal 111668 Aziz, along with three other personnel of the Bukit Sentosa police station had about 8.20pm on Jan 20 arrested a Chinese man who was drunk. "The man had broken two plastic chairs using a saw, and broke glasses and a liquor bottle at a Chinese restaurant," Norel Azmi said in response to questions from Malaysiakini. He said the 44-year-old businessman was taken to the Bukit Sentosa police station along with some seized items, where an agreement was brokered between Khoo's wife and the restaurant owner.
Owner Lee Lai Fong accepted RM200 as compensation payment from Khoo's wife, in exchange for no police action against her husband, and a police report was lodged on the agreement.
Police had initially opened investigation papers based on Kpl Aziz's report under Section 427 of the Penal Code, which deals with committing mischief resulting in damage worth more than RM25. The third police report was lodged by Khoo on Saturday morning, alleging that he was assaulted by police and had RM1000 taken from him.
Different versions of the incident
Yesterday, the businessman told the media that he was assaultedby a drunken plainclothes police officer and other policemen in a coffee shop in Bukit Sentosa, resulting in him suffering bodily injuries and a broken denture. Khoo said this was took place after the police officer, named only as 'Mansur', was irritated by him as he was gambling and drinking noisily at the next table. He said police pocketed RM1,000, which he won in the card game, and took him to the Bukit Sentosa police station where he was detained until the police were paid several hundred ringgit brought by his friends.
DAP MP for Segambut Lim Lip Eng, who called the press conference upon Khoo's request, said police informed him that the businessman's complaint was being investigated under Section 323 and 325 of the Penal Code, which deals with voluntarily causing hurt.

Khairy Jamaludin : musuh saudara dalam UMNO, bukan DAP

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 05:47 AM PST

Khairy Jamaludin, Ketua Pemuda UMNO Malaysia, telah meminta DAP mengeluarkan senarai ahli-ahlinya dari kaum Melayu jika benar DAP sekarang sedang mendapat sokongan dari kaum Melayu. Khairy berkata setakat 3 orang Melayu yang menyertai DAP itu tidak melambangkan yang parti itu sudah diterima oleh orang Melayu. Saya tidak yakin kenapa penyertaan orang Melayu di akhir-akhir ini menjadi isu dari Sabah hingga ke Perlis.

Saya hanya hendak memberikan komen yang pendek terhadap cabaran Khairy ini dan saya rasa boleh memberikan jawapan kepada kenyataan Khairy itu kerana saya adalah salah seorang dari orang Melayu yang telah menyertai DAP baru-baru ini.

Untuk pengetahuan Khairy DAP tidak membuat pengasingan ahli-ahlinya mengikut bangsa dan agama. Di dalam borang permohonan menjadi ahli, tidak ada petak yang bertanyakan dari kaum apa pemohon-pemohon tersebut kerana sebagai sebuah parti yang memperjuangkan untuk semua tanpa mengira kaum dan budaya bangsa dan ethnik ahli-ahli tidak menjadi perkara penting.
\
Jika Khairy benar-benar mahu tahu jumlah keahlian Melayu dalam DAP, mungkin saya boleh mencadangkan kepada DAP untuk Khairy datang ke pejabat DAP dan mengira sendiri jumlah keahlian dari kaum Melayu. Khairy boleh dibekalkan dengan semua borang-borang permohonan yang ada di dalam setor DAP dan kiralah satu persatu setiap borang permohonan dari orang Melayu itu. Selepas itu Khairy boleh mengumumkannya sendiri.

Jika Khairy melakukan pengiraan sendiri, jadi tidak akan timbul isu tentang jumlah keahlian orang Melayu lagi dan tidak payah hendak menyusahkan DAP untuk membuat pengiraan itu. DAP tidak hendak bersaing untuk menunjukkan keahlian Melayu. Hanya parti itu telah mula mendapat suntikan semangat dengan ramai penyertaan dari kaum Melayu.

Bagi saya yang lebih penting Khairy lakukan ialah untuk menjaga keahlian UMNO yang berjuta orang itu yang semuanya Melayu. Elok kita memberikan input yang nyata dan jelas yang di antara lebih dari tiga juta keahlian UMNO itu, lebih dari 1 juta dari mereka telah memangkah simbol pembangkang di dalam pilihanraya yang lalu. Tindakan mereka itu serupalah seperti meninggalkan parti juga.

Di Rembau itu sendiri Khairy perlu mengambil perhatian kerana tidak semua ahli-ahli dan pimpinan UMNO di sana memberikan sokongan kepada beliau. Pengalaman selama 40 tahun dalam UMNO itu memadai untuk saya membuat penilaian terhadap banyak bahagian UMNO di mana-mana khususnya di Negeri Sembilan.

Memang UMNO ramai orang Melayu, malahan semuanya dari kaum Melayu. tetapi kaum ini jugalah yang akan memberi masalah kepada UMNO khususnya Khairy. Kalaulah pemimpin UMNO seperti Khairy sedar, masalah UMNO bukan ditimbulkan oleh pembangkang, tetapi oleh ahli-ahlinya sendiri.

Maka Khairy elok tumpukan masa dan tenaga beliau untuk memulihkan kesatuan dalam UMNO itu sendiri.

Biarkan DAP itu melaksanakan tugasnya walaupun dengan hanya 'segelintir' Melayu yang mempunyai pemikiran di dalamnya. Yang sakit sekarang bukannya DAP tetapi UMNO. Yang kelam kabut sekarang bukannya PAS tetapi UMNO. Yang menyakitkan UMNO adalah oleh ahli-ahlinya sendiri bukannya PKR.

Kalau hendak terima pandangan ini terimalah. Kalau tidak terima pun ia bukannya menjadi kudis kepada Pakatan Rakyat. Itu Khairy kena faham. Musuh Khairy bukannya kami di sebelah sini tetapi mereka yang ada di bawah ketiak beliau sendiri dan juga di kalangan 'war lords' dalam UMNO itu.

Media Malaysia dikendali manusia rosak akhlak

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 03:44 AM PST

YDP PAS pertahankan Anwar,dia kata dah tengok video kat bawah ni banyak kali.Dek kerana kecintaan tak berbelah bahagi terhadap Anwar,seluruh jiwa dan raga beliau diserahkan untuk mempertahankan "anugerah tuhan" PKR.

Yang hentam bontot budak laki tak rosak akhlak? Yang ngentot china doll baik akhlaknya?Yang mempertahankan akidah,moral dan agama dikatakan rosak akhlak?

Dah terang lagi bersuluh PAS memang penyokong kuat Anwar!

Bagaimana dengan media Malaysia, media yang diikendalikan oleh orang-orang yang mengaku beragama Islam? Orang Islam diajar supaya takut dengan kerja-kerja fitnah, takut dengan balasan pada Hari Mahsyar, takut dengan balasan didunia dan akhirat!

Banyak sejarah yang telah dipaparkan dengan cerita-cerita yang mengerikan tentang balasan keatas pembuat dosa! Kenapa media Malaysia masih terus menabur fitnah bahawa kononnya Anwar Ibrahim menyokong hak lelaki mengahwini lelaki dan lelaki meliwat lelaki!! Itu lah yang saya dengar dengan mata telinga saya sendiri.

Nazri Aziz kutuk Anwar, Rais Yatim kutuk Anwar, yang kesemuanya berpunca daripada rasa dendam kesumat mereka keatas kehebatan sokongan yang diberikan oleh rakyat Malaysia terhadap PR yang diketua Anwar Ibrahim.

Lebih menyedihkan apabila seorang yang bergelar Mufti, Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria, tanpa usul periksa telah membuat kesimpulan sendiri di atas ucapan Anwar sewaktu di interviu oleh BBC London berhubung isu gay. Mana hak Anwar untuk menjelaskan isu tersebut di media Malaysia yang telah dilacur semahunya untuk terus menikam peribadi Anwar??

Kenapa bertindak zalim dan aniaya keatas Anwar Ibrahim?? Kenapa takut beri laluan kepada Anwar bercakap dimedia Malaysia yang dikendalikan oleh orang yang mengaku beragama Islam??

Saya meneliti dan cuba memahami apa yang diungkapkan oleh Anwar dalam interviu BBC tersebut. Saya mengesahkan bahawa tiada suatu bukti sekecil zarah sekalipun yang Anwar pernah mengeluarkan kata-kata menyokong hak gay.

Saya berpesan kepada pengendali media Malaysia, cukuplah, cukuplah, cukuplah. Takut lah kamu akan doa orang yang dianiaya dan dizalimi. Tiada hijab doa diantara mereka dengan Allah s.w.t

Sedarlah bahawa sekuat manapun sokongan kamu keatas Najib, UMNO dan BN, mereka pasti akan jatuh tersungkur menyembah bumi. Pelajari sejarah kejatuhan Hosni Mubarak dan lain-lain pemimpin yang zalim yang menyalahgunakan kuasa mereka sepanjang mereka meneraju negara diatas kesengsaraan rakyat mereka.

Fitnah Rosmah Bersumberkan Wartawan Gay

Posted: 24 Jan 2012 08:51 PM PST

Apa saja yang ada kaitan dengan pakatan mesti gay,isu terbaru yang memfitnah Ds Rosmah,berkokok sakan seantero dunia pakatan membawa berita.

Dari Harakah hinggalah kepada Malaysiakini.Rupanya sumber berita seluruh haprak pakatan dari seorang wartawan Gay dan paling teruk di Australia.

Selepas baca portal pembangkang spt Malaysiakini dan Malaysianinsider tentang dakwaan DS Rosmah spend RM300,000 shopping kat Sydney, JP gatal tangan dan terus buat background check kat reporter Sydney Morning Herald yang buat dakwaan itu, nama mamat ni ANDREW HORNERY. JP tergolek-golek ketawa bila lepas buat background check, pasal dah dapat teka motif sebenar laporan akhbar Australia tu.

OK, inilah sebenarnya mamat ANDREW HORNERY ni. Dia ni betul lah adalah kolumnis, tetapi bukan menulis tentang hard news spt isu politik, current affairs atau lain, tetapi keje dia kat suratkhabar adalah MENULIS KOLUM GOSSIP. HA HA HA HA HA, so dakwaan dia terhadap DS Rosmah itu adalah sebahagian daripada tulisan gossip mamat ni. Dah nama pun gossip, maknanya memanglah susah nak percaya tulisan mamat ni. Reporter gossip je mamat ni. Mamat ini dikenali sebagai GOSSIP QUEEN AUSTRALIA.

Si Andrew Hornery ni, pulak kerap kali disenaraikan sebagai " Australia's Worst Journalist". Lagi satu benda kelakar pasal background mamat ni. READ MORE

Andrew Hornery - Journalist
Sydney Morning Herald - Aug 8 to 9, 2009
Sydney Morning Herald - Sep 26 to 27, 2009 (repeat)
Numerous factual errors. Andrew Hornery, unable to transcribe accurately factual matters or deliberately engages in falsehoods to degrade his subject, and heighten his vitriole.
Persons contacted by this dishonest journalist should not afford him an interview, as quotations will be altered to suit the journalist's purpose.

Apa yang jadi lebih kelakar adalah, pembangkang dan portal berita mereka gunakan reporter mamat Andrew ini yang latarbelakangnya amat meragukan untuk menjalankan agenda politik mereka. Sungguh terdesak pembangkang sekarang ini, "any Tom Dick and Harry" also can-lah.

Tapi rilek bro, apa yang menarik lagi tentang Andrew Hornery ini atau Andrew "Horny" adalah dia ini dikenali dikalangan dunia gossip Sydney dan kewartawanan Australia sebagai "OPENLY GAY TRANSSEXUAL". Andrew ini memang kerap menulis tentang apa yang berlaku di dalam dunia Gay dan Lesbian. Itu adalah makanan harian dia. Kalau dah Gay, memanglah dia je yang lebih tahu tentang komuniti Gay jugak. Kalau betul mamat ni Gay, maka pembangkang akan berhadapan dengan masalah yang amat besar.

Pembangkang kena explain kenapa seorang Gay digunakan untuk membantu strategi politik pembangkang yang "Gay Friendly. " Pembangkang juga kena beritahu sama ada Anwar kenal tak dengan mamat Andrew Hornery ni. Kedua-dua lebih kurang sama je haluannya, mungkin kenal kot?

Nampak gaya sekarang ni, semua pentadbiran negara daripada PM kepada isteri DS Rosmah menjadi sasaran orang yang menganuti hubungan sonsang Gay.-JohorPolitico

SRJK (C) is not for Chinese only!

Posted: 24 Jan 2012 08:39 PM PST

"I wanted to enroll my 7-year old daughter at a Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) in Ampang. I went to see the headmaster but upon seeing that my daughter wore a 'tudung', he asked me to send her to a Sekolah Kebangsaan.

"He said there is no place for a Malay student in a Chinese school, especially those with 'tudung'," he said, anguish and frustrated.

"He also said that Chinese schools are supposed to be for Chinese only."

I am checking on the allegation.

However, the public general perception has always been stereotype - that whenever a non-Chinese pupil enrolls at any SRJK(C), his or her intention is to take up Mandarin and acquire Chinese knowledge.

This is actually wrong, totally not right. All Sekolah Kebangsaan, SRJK (Cina) and SRJK (Tamil) are government-aided schools. It belongs to the government, right?

So, while all Sekolah Kebangsaan accepts non-Malay students, the Malays too deserve all rights to enroll at any SRJK(C) and SRJK(T), am I'm not right? These are all government schools.

But why must there still be abrasive remarks about the system? I don't want to call the headmaster 'a racist' for his attitude but it reflects more on the government's hands-on policy on non-Sekolah Kebangsaan matters.

The Education Ministry, I believe, only ensures that the schools are under good management and with ample facilities but it fails to monitor the type of teachers being deployed. Whether its a Sekolah Kebangsaan, SRJK(C) or SRJK(T), the teachers, especially headmasters must be tuned to the fact that they are on the government's payroll.

Most important is, the schools are open to all Malaysians, not for a single race.

And I am also of the opinion that the 'Satu Sekolah Untuk Semua' will be most practical to address such a situation.

Each time we leave our house unguarded, something like this could happen. Note the freshly cut trunk of this bougainvilla. This poor tree has a history of abuse by this uncouth person.

A few years ago, we found the plant missing! Later it was found near the junction, in front of the Indian temple multi-purpose hall. I took it back and planted at the same spot. With recent happenings, I am now suspecting he was the culprit when it went missing! So far, the plant had been subjected to weedkillers twice on separate occasions, which showed after a few days with dried leaves...

Now, he went a step further with cutting down the plant. Our patience and refrain from acting tit-for-tat has been taken as being weak I suppose. But I am taking the following advice...

THANKS BUT NO THANKS...

Posted: 24 Jan 2012 07:39 PM PST

Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) is genuinely aimed at helping the rakyat coping themselves against the increasing cost of living. This is a one-off payment to those whose income is below RM3,000.

It is not a complusion for the rakyat to receive this payment, meaning they can choose to accept or to reject it. In short, youe either take it or leave it.

Simply its a good gesture of The Government to its rakyat and many have been grateful of the gift, especially those who felt the pinch in their pocket. There have been efforts to circumvent the regulations just to get their hands on the payment.

However, if certain rakyat want to refuse the payment, they are welcomed to do so, again, there is no compulsion.

And if they have accepted the payment but then suddenly have a change of heart then all they can do is volunteer the RM500 to charity and to whom they felt so deserving.

But to badmouth The Government over the gift is simply outrageous! That is not cool la brader!

p.s. The depicted RM500 note with serial number ZV6192611 is no longer in circulation.

Segala kejayaan yang dihasilkan oleh kerajaan BN semuanya si lidah biawak ini mengaku adalah hasil kerja keras beliau.Seperti biasa dengan lagak muka tembok hutang kerajaan negeri 600 juta yang dilupuskan oleh kerajaan pusat pun Guan Eng kata dia yang lunaskan.Begitulah populis dalam meraih sokongan pengundi.

Sebelum ini Guan Eng mengaku dibawah pemerintahan regim DAP beliau berjaya menurunkan kadar jenayah.Adakah kes ragut ini adalah sebahagian kejayaan Guan Eng mempopularkan negeri Pulau Pinang dimata dunia sebagai mempunyai peragut paling hebat di Malaysia?

2 lagi warga asing diragut di P.Pinang
PULAU PINANG 24 Jan. - Kurang 24 jam selepas seorang wanita warga Jepun diragut dua lelaki bermotosikal di Marina Bay, Pulau Tikus di sini kelmarin, dua lagi warga asing menjadi mangsa jenayah itu semalam.

Kali ini, mangsa merupakan seorang wanita warga Kanada dan seorang lelaki warga India yang disamun 10 lelaki menaiki lima motosikal dalam dua kejadian berasingan.

Dalam kejadian pukul 1.20 petang, mangsa, Aalika Bindingnavile, 24, warga Kanada bersama keluarganya sedang menunggu bas di sebuah perhentian berdekatan sebuah hotel sebelum didatangi suspek.

Salah seorang daripada anggota kumpulan tersebut kemudian terus mengacukan sebilah pisau kepada mangsa sebelum menyamunnya.

Mangsa yang merupakan seorang suri rumah kehilangan seutas loket emas, tiga loket permata dan seutas rantai leher emas yang kesemuanya bernilai lebih RM10,000.

Tidak lama selepas itu, seorang warga India turut disamun, dipercayai dilakukan kumpulan sama di kawasan berdekatan, mengakibatkan mangsa kehilangan dua rantai emas dan seutas rantai mutiara.

Timbalan Ketua Polis Daerah Timur Laut, Supritendan Ahmad Bakhtiar Kassim ketika dihubungi hari ini mengesahkan kejadian tersebut.

Menurutnya, polis yakin kesemua suspek dapat diberkas dalam masa terdekat berdasarkan lakaran wajah, hasil maklumat mangsa.

"Kita mengambil keterangan mangsa dan kita yakin berdasarkan gambar lakaran yang ada, kita dapat memberkas suspek dalam tempoh terdekat," katanya.

Katanya, kes disiasat di bawah Seksyen 395 dan 397 Kanun Keseksaan kerana melakukan samun secara berkumpulan.

Kelmarin, seorang wanita warganegara Jepun kehilangan seutas rantai emas apabila diragut dua lelaki bermotosikal di hadapan pos pengawal keselamatan sebuah rumah pangsa di Marina Bay, Pulau Tikus di sini.

Dalam kejadian pukul 6.45 petang itu, Kiyoka Ikeda dikatakan menunggu rakannya di hadapan pos pengawal berkenaan untuk keluar makan malam sebelum didatangi suspek.
