| KOTA BHARU, 14 Julai - PAS tidak akan merubah jalinan dengan parti-parti dalam Pakatan Rakyat termasuk KeADIlan dan DAP, malah mempertingkatkan lagi kerjasama sedia ada. Mursyidul Am PAS, Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat berkata, PAS tetap akan meneruskan kerjasama dengan KeADILan, biar pun pemimpin parti itu cuba dikaitkan dengan isu liwat. Menurutnya pihak lawan cuba mengeruhkan hubungan dalam Pakatan Rakyat dengan melemparkan pelbagai tuduhan. Kata beliau Malaysia pernah dilabelkan sebagai sebuah negara Islam, namun kejadian jenayah semakin menjadi-jadi. "Bahkan istilah liwat disebut secara terbuka walau pun perkara itu belum pasti berlaku, namun acap kali disebut pemimpin kerajaan. Orang berkenaan sebenarnya tidak ada tokoh untuk menjadi ahli agama," katanya di sini. Beliau juga berkata, Umno, MCA dan MIC pun bergolak sesama mereka biar pun sudah lama berada dalam satu pakatan. Sementara itu, dalam perkembangan lain Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz yang juga Menteri Besar Kelantan menyarankan sekolah-sekolah agama di bawah kelolaan Yayasan Islam Kelantan (Yik) mengajar pelbagai bahasa. Menurutnya, pengajaran pelbagai bahasa penting bagi melengkapkan lagi usaha dakwah. "Seboleh-bolehnya di sekolah Yik diajar bahasa-bahasa yang menjadi pertuturan rakyat di negara ini termasuk bahasa Inggeris, Tamil dan Cina. |
"Mengikut Perjanjian itu, tiap-tiap Negeri akan menerima 5% daripada nilai petroliam yang dijumpai dan diperolehi dalam kawasan perairan atau di luar perairan Negeri tersebut yang dijual oleh PETRONAS atau ejensi-ejensi atau kontrektor-kontrektornya".- Tun Abdul Razak, Dewan Rakyat (12hb. November, 1975)

Kerjasama Pakatan Rakyat dipertingkat lagi - Mursyidul Am
Road-blocking BN's popularity
Jul 15, 08 9:29am
On Police roadblocks cause gridlock in KL
23PSI: The extensive road blocks demonstrate the BN government's paranoia and/or its desire to inconvenience all Malaysians and to create a sense of hostility towards the opposition just as they did for the Bersih and Hindraf rallies.
But the reality is that all right-thinking Malaysians know what the real motivation is and that such actions only serve to make the government even more unpopular.
If the government truly had the interest of the people at heart they would not have inconvenienced ordinary citizens going about their day. Indeed, there maybe some who require immediate medical attention only to find themselves caught in a massive crawl.
This also goes to show just how much the police force is used as a pawn in the battlefield of politics.
ACR: It is amazing that a self-proclaimed stable government, run by Abdullah Badawi at the helm, is afraid of the shadow of one man - Anwar Ibrahim - and is willing to inconvenience millions of city-folk over the weekend and into the new working week by putting in place 12 roadblocks throughout the Klang Valley.
This is a mockery of democracy and a gross abuse of the police force to further a political agenda. Pray tell me what is the threat to public security for Anwar to attend parliament to follow proceedings from the observation gallery?
As reported, Pakatan Rakyat had never intended for a rally to be held. This entire hyperbole was created via abuse of the mainstream media and misuse of the police force.
In a nation grappling with runaway crime rates, the frequent use of the police for political expediency is in itself telling as to the priorities of the Barisan government.
Who is going to be held responsible for the deaths or complications suffered by critical care patients whose doctors were held up for hours in traffic jams? Or for the millions lost by traders in the investment markets? Or for the thousands of appointments, exams, interviews and meetings missed by the citizenry?
It is in order for the authorities to be held accountable for the way they are running the nation - like their backyard.
Consumer groups, resident associations and NGOs should initiate a criminal negligence suit against the person/s who authorised the setting up of 12 roadblocks, besides claiming for liquidated damages for losses suffered in the instances aforementioned.
GMan: I'd say enough is enough from the police with all these road blocks. They seem to use this method of childish intimidation to try and restrict people from their right to assembly.
Worst of all it affected working-class people who were stuck in the ensuing traffic chaos, and this I am sure affected productivity.
In short I suppose if people want to gather, no number of roadblocks is going to deter them from doing so. This is simply unjustifiable from the government and no apology is going to make up for it.
Therefore to Syed Hamid Albar and the police, please stop all these roadblocks as you incur the wrath of the common person because the traffic in the capital is bad enough. The police force is better off serving the people, rather than at unnecessary roadblocks.
Maniam Sankar: I suppose we all like to see an efficient government at work. The action by the police to have 600 personnel manning road blocks at the hint of trouble should help the people feel safe. Did it ?
No, sir, it did not. It was a blatant abuse of power designed to cause havoc on the streets. All that the police did was reduce multilane roads into single lanes to slow traffic while they themselves stood under a shade some distance away (this was the scene at Jalan Damansara).
When such havoc is caused by the authorities and not agitators, something, surely, must be very wrong in the state.
I would strongly recommend that since the police can act with such speed and in numbers, can’t they instead direct their energies to reduce snatch thefts and burglaries which continue unabated with increasing loss of life, limb and material?
Dominichenrychin: The police force really have nothing better to do and they are displaying this lepak attitude while roadblocks are being set up.
The last time, roadblocks were set up to prevent gatherings organised by Hindraf, and just recently to prevent hearsay actions by PKR members. Members of the public have really suffered.
Take for example the one set up along Jalan Damansara, in front of the petrol stations from the Damansara toll. From four lanes, motorists have to merge into two lanes. The irony is that some motorists are actually able to 'escape' this roadblock by taking the road leading into the petrol station and then merge back into the main road!
Then, we can also see the lepak attitude of the police officers manning this roadblock.They sit on chairs under an umbrella chatting and having drinks.
What are you guys in uniform doing? Ensuring the security of the nation? Bull! Robberies, car jacking etc are on the rise and here we have these police officers causing inconvenience to the public. Bravo!
On Final 2 years: PM vows to fight graft, reform judiciary
Kaisim: At last, the PM means business by giving the ACA a free hand to go for the big ‘fish’ in corruption. This is what the people have been waiting for all these years.
For many years, the top officials have been making use of the bureaucracy to make big money for themselves at the expense of the people and nation. Corruption is rampant in Malaysia.
Many of them have escaped when the ACA dragged the net and are now retired and live comfortably in the ivory homes. The ACA should open up the files of these people and make them accountable for what they have earned all these years.
The previous government talked about ‘Bersih, Cekap, Amanah’ and posted the slogan everywhere but no one ever bothered. So, corruption becomes a culture in Malaysia, spreading to business, politics and organisations.
These people are subversive elements in our mist but the authorities turned deaf ears to the complaints of this nature. So, our integrity rating goes down, down to the bottom. If the government has the will it’s never too late to change for the better.
Give the ACA sufficient powers to deal with these crooks, then in two years, Malaysia will be recognised as a clean, efficient and transparent nation in Asean.
Mooshie Mooshie: The PM said he needs two years to fight corruption. What he doesn't know or don't want to know is - what was discovered is only the tip of the iceberg.
Between the tourism ministry, sports ministry, defence ministry, those cronies of his, his son, and his son-in-law, the insider trading in the stock market and the who-knows-who to make money from government contracts, all the directors and heads of departments from the local authorities to the department of transport, we do not know how else to continue.
Is two years a decoy or is it to buy time to further allow your cronies and those related to you to get away? How much more do you and your cronies want to from the rakyat? Please enlighten us by your great plans.
Vincent d'Estaing: These last few years have shown PM Abdullah's leadership in allowing democracy to blossom. There are disagreements with his achievements. The fact that he acknowledges the problems of not achieving the promises is a sign of a leader.
The fact that he allows so many dissents and takes on the humiliation of losing the 2/3 majority is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. There is no perfect leader who can please everyone. There will be mistakes and a leader will have the courage to correct them.
Look at recent events - 13 days to campaign; ACA nabbing senior government servants; ACA questioning big guns; compensation to past judges, etc. Are these are a wayang? Would the previous leadership have allowed these?
Which leadership is better? An iron hand that shows semblance of ‘leadership’ or an open arm that shows semblance of ‘weakness’? This is not a mathematical problem of right and wrong. It is an ongoing journey to make Malaysia a better place for all of us.
Yes, by all means, weed out the corrupted and the abusers of power. Don't neglect the rakyat, especially those who need help, regardless of race or religious beliefs. I am thankful now there is a strong opposition to check and balance, and many things are on the way of being corrected. It will be a very long journey.
Keep the peace and carve out the path to a better nation that can compete. The world is not waiting for us to build a competitive country. It will crush us. Just look at Proton as a good example.
Be proud but don't be stupid. The world does not care. We need to do that.
Om Prakash: The PM alone is not responsible for the rot of Umno. Traitors are abound within for posts and power. Muhyddin Yassin is no leader outside of Umno. What credible contribution has he laid for the nation and the Asean region?
Tengku Razaleigh is a disgrace and he has no right after his failure to help Umno capture Kelantan. His excuse, he was not asked! Now he wants democratic rights in Umno for a free-for- -all contest.
Had it not been for the PM Abdullahi, the country would not have the 'cleaning' that it is getting. His open-policy has threatened opportunists and selfish politicians and their respective cronies.
In fact his open policy is also the reason Umno and BN had their majority reduced in the last election, which is a good thing because too much power breeds corruption of many kinds.
He is a leader of moderation, fairness and goodness but those in Umno have taken advantage of the losses to mount a campaign to remove him. Accordingly he has defaulted and deviated from his many original plans.
Mistakes are also made due to his slowness in the delivery of rejuvenation for the long-troubled civil service and his unpopular son-in-law. His fight with corruption is a lone fight but until today in his cabinet no one has shown zeal and support for the fight.
This good man and clean politician has been smeared of unproven and unfair accusations when all that he wished to do was undo the past political and social atrocities. Given time I am sure he would have dismantled the ISA too. Glasnost as brought by Gorbechev is a good reference to Abdullah's regime.
The future politics of Malaysia is very blurred and the developments taking place now are going to determine the fate of the nation soon.
On No-confidence motion rejected, walkout staged
Ranjinath: I am a very disappointed voter. If each time the Pakatan Rakyat don’t get their way they are going to walk out, I might as well have voted in a spoilt election.
They went in very well knowing that what they asked for would be rejected. Can I ask that we get proper governance?
Also, why is DAP silent on the request by PAS Youth on implementing syariah rulings in the Pakatan states? For me silence is consent.
On Poll: Readers' views on flip-flop Bala
J Bao: Judging the truth is very easy. Everyone can do it. Just read the actions in sequence (or the body language) rather than the verbal/oral statements.
In P Bala’s case, see how the police bend backwards to record his statement. Since when did the police start a ‘home delivery service’ for the common people? Even Raja Petra (a royalty) had to go down to the police station to have his statement recorded.
Why search all over the world and the need to seek Interpol’s help to locate Bala? Just issue a warrant of arrest if Bala does not turn up to have his statement recorded.
Why all the sandiwara and the sudden ‘extension of extra-friendly police service’ to a common man? By answering these simple and obvious questions, one can come to the truth of the matter.
But can the truth be accepted? That is the question. In Anwar’s second sodomy case, the same questions can be asked. If there are no links between Saiful and Najib, why would Najib see Saiful before he lodged the police report?
There are seven rape/molestation cases every day in Malaysia. You mean all of them have to consult with the DPM before they lodge their reports? If not, then why the exception to Saiful? So there again the truth is established in double quick time.
On Lawyer: Police asked for privilege information
Chuacj: Interesting, very interesting. Which do you believe now? The first SD or the second SD? This whole episode tells us that the first SD holds more water and it is the truth (nothing but the truth). Otherwise, why are the police more interested in the first one?
I believe the government wants to know what else we know and what other proof is in our hands.
I suggest the police should check with themselves (if they want to know about the disappearance) as Bala went missing after meeting up with them.
On 20 nabbed so far in visa scam sweep
Ibrahim Musa K: Time after time, we have been hearing about the ACA detaining government officials suspected of corruption or bribery. Investigation after investigation, the end result would be insufficient evidence or unfounded grounds of suspicion.
Even when brought to court, hardly anyone had been really convicted as charged (let alone fined or jailed), and more often than not it would end in case dismissed. Our judiciary system is degrading, our law enforcers are equally demoralising.
One would wonder how Pak Lah in his final years in office could improve the situation.
To vow to fight graft and bolster the judiciary is one thing, but to take actual action leading to ultimate punishment will be quite a different thing.
Most Malaysians are already disgusted with the ongoing dirty political bickering, we do not want to hear any more empty words or hollow noises.
Will some one just do something concrete to bring back our confidence in the pathetic government? Does anyone still want to believe in ‘Malaysia Boleh’?
On MIC's 'rebranding' assembly tomorrow
Disney Fan: ‘MIC will hold its 62nd general assembly tomorrow with the main agenda being the re-branding of the party's ideologies following its catastrophic loss in the March 8 general election.’
In view of the dismal image of MIC and BN in general after March 8, it is appropriate that they look at crafting a new image for themselves that is more positive, reflecting the future role they will play in Malaysia. May I suggest…
M-i-c-k-e-y M-o-u-s-e!
Goofy, Donald Duck, and all the others are available to lend a hand to Umno, MCA and all the other BN guys badly in need of an image make-over. All of them know that it’s a small world after all.
Chris: With reference to MIC s re-branding, I would like to question all marketing experts if there is any record of products or services that were successful after a re-branding. It might be that our MIC is creating a new glossy term to disguise their failure and convince the public that they are a new ‘party’.
Instead re-branding, MIC should constructively admit their failure and analyse the causes of their failure and improve them.
They should seek cooperation from their enemies, foes and rivals. They should openly admit their political arrogance and apologise to the public. They should take the interest of the people and not the party.
However, it seems like that they have never realised this fact at all. By calling it ‘re-branding’, it does not constitute an improved product or service. Samy Vellu, you are old-fashioned and ignorant of the fact of modern marketing concepts. Thus, ‘brand’ is just a non-physical value of a product or service.
If you really want improvements for your party, think of the core product of MIC and analyse how to improve to add on more value for the product or service it is offering instead of re-branding.
This is the 21st century, we Indian Malaysians are not naive to accept the re-branding that you are bragging about. Re-invent would be a better option. Give the people what the people need and not what the party needs. Start people-based politics and terminate racial-based politics.
In short, we Indians do not need MIC to protect our interests. Dont ‘re-brand’ a bad product. Re-invent, re-design, re-produce, re-make but don’t re-brand.
On Tamil schools: Whose responsibility? MIC's or government's?
Prasad Pillai: Samy Vellu was a picture of consistency - not once did he give a straight answer.
On Shutters down on Uthaya's law firm
Peter Ooi: I am really saddened that Uthaya has to close his law firm. This is really an unkind cut to a man who selflessly and tirelessly championed for the rights of the poor Indians. Just because he was able to harness a few thousand supporters who are mostly helpless, the authorities find him a threat to the society.
If the powers-that-be could find overwhelming evidence that this man and friends are truly going to cause chaos or violence in the country, do charge him in an open court. Till today no evidence was furnished to show his link to the Tamil Tigers. It is a shame on the authorities that these people are detained for a crime that is not in existence.
He really touched my heart when he refused help from some good Samaritans to keep his firm afloat on the excuse that public funds are meant for the public use. Such is a man who places the interests of others first before self.
My hats off to you, Uthaya. As a simple layman with limited means, I can only offer my sincere prayers for your good health and for your safe return to the family who miss you the most.
The nation need more men of integrity like you and your colleagues who are languishing in detention camps so that the poor can lead better lives.
Rekha: It's good to know that Uthaya is in good spirits. Many, many people are praying for his release.
On The Fourth and Fifth cousins
Churchmouse: Marina Mahathir’s newspaper column and blog says all the politically correct things but do you notice that her memory and voice are selective?
She has been as silent as a church mouse over Anwar Ibrahim to the extent of ‘going on strike’. And as before, we heard nary a squeak from her during the reformasi days when Anwar faced the first round of sodomy charges.
PY: I have observed this lady's writing. Ninety percent of our troubles today can be traced to her father's doorstep and yet she blithely chooses to ignore it.
Instead she goes on about blogger strikes, how attitudes are the cause of our problems and pious platitudes that make for good sound bites. And of course, her high-society group laps it up.
She should do us a favour and continue her strike indefinitely.
On M'sia a vibrant democracy? Bah, humbug!
Takeda Shingen: Manjit Bhatia is always quick to point the finger at Asia. He demonises and shuns us but offers no solution. As an academic he should be trying to offer wisdom and solutions to help the situation but instead all he does is complain.
He is like a person who barks consistently about how bad the government is but when asked if he voted it's revealed he was too lazy to register. All bark and no bite.
Democracy is still not perfect, even in America and the fact that we could elect a viable opposition this time round without the zombies of May 13 rising from the dead to bite us, shows progress.
Today in Malaysia, we can badmouth politicians and not get sued for millions like in the Mahathir days. (In fact it’s the opposition that is suing the government for 100mil...ah, the irony).
It took over 200 hundred years and a civil war for America to achieve the democracy it has today. We're only 50 years old and by the results of our last election, we are improving.
Manjit Bhatia may have abandoned Asia as his home and may continue to demonise the region that gave him life instead of helping it. That is his character. I am a Malaysian. Malaysia is not perfect but I will not abandon her.
Shiek Yerbootay: Once again Manjit Bhatia graces us with his monotonous pro-west/anti-Asian dribble.
Lets not forget his hateful rant against Jackie Chan supporting the Beijing Olympics but silence on the subject that Visa sponsored the advertisement Chan appeared in. In fact where was his criticism of Coca-cola, UPS or the other 'Western' corporations sponsoring the event?
Bhatia would rather have us believe that the recent elections count for nothing. That there was no democracy that DAP won Penang, that PKR won Selangor, PAS Kedah and that no race riots broke out.
Malaysians should be proud that no matter which side we voted, democracy prevailed. Bhatia, as one blogger put it, is ashamed to be Asian and therefore wants the rest of us to feel bad for our heritage.
On Unbridled ignorance, courtesy of Bernama
RT Chang: Enough already. I wish to express my deepest sympathies to the Bernama writer for being assigned to write the so-called feature, ‘Homosexual's Life Of Moral Decadence’.
The writer obviously has no grasp of writing an essay. It is blatantly biased, boring and has the reasoning of a Malaysian Form 3 (at most) student brought up on a stringent diet of government propaganda such as Bernama's.
Even so, any person worthy of being called a ‘news editor’ would have told the reporter to interview sources who actually knew the subject, for balance, and edit it to read as if the writer had some depth of thought and intelligence.
Instead, you wasted the poor reporter's time and did a disservice to her and your readers by publishing nonsesne, and robbed yours and her dignity in the process.Why don't you guys just get another job elsewhere instead of apple-polishing for the politicians who tell you what to do?
Why not run articles with value to real people, e.g. about the ‘tentacles’ of moral corruption in the government, instead of prostituting yourself? Otherwise, just come out of the closet and work without pretense as a speech-writer for the assorted lowlifes running the government.
Meenachi Indian: I read the said article and almost wept in despair. As someone born in the very early 60s, I have been privy to how our society has slowly become shallow, prejudiced and downright ignorant.
People do not choose to become homosexuals – they are born such. For a nation which has spent billions sending a poster boy to the moon, it's baffling how many cannot grasp this simple biological reality.
I was also shocked with Malaysian Hindu Sangam president A Vaithilingam's comment that 'even the Hindu religion does not accept homosexual practices'.
As someone heading the MHS, he should not have misled the poor ignorant Bernama reporter with such a statement, as Hinduism does recognise homosexuality as well as the transgender community.
The highly revered Lord Siva takes the form of Ardhanarishvara that shows him with one half of the body as male, and the other half as female. Furthermore, according to Hindu religious scriptures, Lord Vishnu took the form of Mohini the enchantress and seduced Lord Siva and both had a son, Lord Ayappan.
There is also a goddess to represent the homosexual and transgender communities. In fact members of the Hindu transgender community gather in July every year at a temple in Port Klang to celebrate their goddess known as Bahuchariya Mataji.
So, Datuk Vaithilingam please does not paint a false picture of Hindusim and say the wrong things simply because that is the politically right thing to say. Hinduism does not discriminate and has a place for every gender and sexual orientation.
On Consumers' vote of no confidence against Proton
Yih Feng Low: Proton is one of the biggest shame of the nation. After 25 years of spending countless amounts of tax payers’ money supporting them (both directly and indirectly), the last thing any Malaysian could have hoped for is that they can at least stand on their own two feet.
But no, as soon as the protective measures were even talked about being removed, they
fell flat on their bum and have struggled to get up since. Syed Zainal found it convenient to blame vendors for poor quality components, but guess what? That is still entirely Proton's fault.
You don't see any other vendor swallow billions of dollars in government handouts and then blame other vendors for their own incompetence! The management of Proton owes the Malaysian public a huge apology, an explanation and a place in Malaysia's all time hall of shame for their sheer incompetence.
Debat Ahmad Shabery-Anwar diteruskan malam ini
KUALA LUMPUR 15 Julai – Debat antara Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dengan Menteri Penerangan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek mengenai isu harga minyak akan tetap diadakan seperti yang dijadualkan di Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) malam ini.

Bagaimanapun debat tersebut kata beliau, dipendekkan daripada satu setengah jam kepada 50 minit.
``Lokasi dan lain-lain perkara tentang debat adalah seperti dijadualkan,’’ katanya ketika ditemui pemberita di rumahnya di sini pagi ini. – Utusan.
YOUR SAY: Ezam and the 'dark secrets'
Jul 15, 08 9:48am
On Ezam warns Anwar: I will reveal your dark secrets
Paul: Lets separate politics from private life. There are no saints in politics. Dr Mahathir is not a saint, but a ‘devil incarnate’ as someone described him.
Abdullah is also not a saint, but a liar who doesn't keep his promise not to increase petrol price before the time he himself set. Najib is also not a saint, as many believe that he is lying about not knowing the Mongolian lady who was murdered.
Former US President Clinton is also not a saint, but very capable and well-received by the Americans despite his sex scandal.
Throughout history many other successful politicians were not perfect in their private lives.
So what is Ezam trying to say, warning Anwar about revealing his dark secrets? Ezam should know that many Malaysians are supporting Anwar's reformasi programme to bring about changes for a better government.
Anwar's personal life (even if he is a really a gay) is a non-issue. Anwar will not live forever. But reformasi will continue and bring about a better Malaysia.
Ezam should not have quit the team in the first place. I think Ezam has lost sight of his principles to struggle for a better Malaysia. Ezam has ruined his own future.
Habib RAK: A person like Ezam is a disgrace to all concerned, be they PKR, Umno or Malaysia at large. If there are some dark secrets about Anwar, Ezam should volunteer them immediately so that the nation is not disadvantaged.
Instead, he is blackmailing Anwar for his own personal interests. Then he goes around projecting himself as a high morals individual.
He has no shame for himself and his own family and by extension he has no concern for the welfare of the nation.
Individuals like him are traitors. What happened to his report on the second finance minister? Now he has joined forces with Umno and preaches.
Most of the public doesn’t care whether it is BN or PR when it comes to corruption and misdeeds by individuals towards the nation. We want all of them out.
If Anwar is not good for our beloved nation, tell us now. This goes for all individuals from any party.
JKS: I'm disappointed by Ezam. I thought Ezam went into Umno to reform Umno, which desperately needs reform if Malaysia is to have a true democracy.
But this latest threat is a personal demand to trade political favours, another quid pro quo (you don't kick me personally and I won't kick you personally).
If Ezam is referring to some Anwar secrets that will stop the country from going forward (instead of some old mistakes that can be remedied), then by all means reveal them for the good of the country.
Ezam should reveal such secrets whether or not he is being discredited by a conspiracy theory. Such information should not be used as a chip to extort for personal gain or protection.
If Ezam is referring to Anwar's personal problems, style, even political manipulation, especially those that occurred before Anwar's life-changing experience of jailing, beating, and unjust sentencing, then I don't really want to hear about them.
Ezam would only look like a damaged and untrustworthy politician with such a threat. This notoriety will surely kill his hope of gaining the trust of Umno and reforming Umno. That will hurt Malaysia's democracy.
Although not totally similar, Ezam should take a lesson from the tragic hero of Lü Bu, from the Records of Three Kingdoms (the non-novel version).
‘Besides being matchless on the battlefield, Lü Bu was also notorious for having betrayed and slain two separate masters (who were both his adoptive fathers).’
Doraisamy Karuppiah: I am very sorry for the people’s leader (Anwar) to have too many betrayers with him all the while. It’s money versus sincerity, and in Ezam’s case, money has overthrown sincerity.
Anwar’s ambition to be the PM is tarnished by his own lieutenants, who cross to the opposite camp. It is the same in our 1511 Malacca history, where the sultanate of Malacca collapsed to the Portuguese due to corruption and traitors.
Now, in the new episode, our so called Malay leader (Anwar) would be facing the same scenario of the last emperor of the Malacca Sultanate, Sultan Mahmud.
Anwar, Abdullah or even Najib, please don’t trust and encourage traitors who will stab you from behind. Enemies in the front battle are not as dangerous as enemies within us.
Ezam, you can never and will not be given any ministerial post even if you polish your BN leader’s shoes. You are one of the spoiled eggs in the Pakatan basket that Anwar overlooked.
As you said, ‘Anwar will do anything to be a PM’. Then what is your intention to join Umno - to be a savior of Umno or to have some perks offered to you to campaign against Anwar?
D Madden: Personally, I think the sooner everyone comes clean and lets the public decide who is best suited for the job of running Malaysia, the better off everyone will be.
This is the cost you pay for turning politics into a personality cult. At the moment, everyone is smeared with muck and its not hard to conclude that they are all liars.
That's not surprising because lying is legal tender in Malaysia.- everyone does it.
On Sodomy: Anwar turns to Syariah Court
Don: Defamation or fitnah is an offence in Islam. A Muslim should not fitnah a person for some invested interest.
If a person accuses another person of wrongdoing he must come up with evidence. ‘Selling’ oneself to the media and the public by telling them that someone has committed an offence is an act of fitnah, as this will give a wrong perception of the accused.
The onus is on him to prove that the accused person is guilty of the offence, so come up with concrete evidence. This works equally the same in any civil court. If the intention of accusing someone is just to give a bad image of a person, this constitutes an offence in Islam.
For instance, a court case involving an accusation can drag on for many months and this will cause a lot of perceptual damage to the one who is accused, even if the accused were finally found to be innocent.
This can be politically correct and thus some people could take advantage of the law just to tarnish a person’s image – a political enemy.
For this reason, Islam is more sensible in that if you accuse a person of wrongdoing come up with evidence, or else this is tantamount to fitnah and the person who arbitrarily accused another person just for some thrills should be punished accordingly.
In the case of a sexual offence (zina) the accuser has to produce four reliable witnesses who could prove to the judge that the offence actually took place. If this can be done and the offence is proven, then punish the accused accordingly.
If the accuser fails to prove the offence, he has to be punished instead. It is a two-way justice for all. The process in Islam is so clear and this will help deter irresponsible people from making false accusations that could defame a person’s image in society.
In Islam, a person’s image is highly regarded and any form of fitnah - insinuating any form of sexual act - cannot be accepted. Islam does not judge a person through the media or gripping political propaganda.
On Peeved Anwar will not go to police HQ
Shiek Yerbootay: How much more showboating does Anwar want to do? It doesn't matter if he agreed verbally or not to attend the inquiry. A court order has to be delivered, it is an official notice.
If you are running a company would you continue to deliver goods to a buyer if he doesn't sign the delivery invoices? How would you have proof in court if the other party defaults on payment?
It seems Anwar has an abhorrence to 'hard evidence/proof' when it's not in his favour.

Nazi BNP to target Stoke for anti-Muslim rally expanded online version
The fascist British National Party (BNP) plans to ratchet up its hate campaign against Muslims by calling a “national rally” in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday 9 August.
Nazi leader Nick Griffin visited the city last Sunday to announce the rally. “We are expecting large numbers of people from around the country to converge on the city,” he said. “We shall be touring the estates and visiting much of Stoke-on-Trent.”
Anti-Nazi campaigners have vowed to confront the BNP’s latest plans to target Muslims. “We’ve been warning that the BNP are planning to make a shift like this towards whipping up race hatred on the ground,” said Weyman Bennett from Unite Against Fascism (UAF).
“This is how the BNP plans to lay the groundwork for next year’s mayoral elections in Stoke. They thrive in an atmosphere of racism and bigotry – and now they plan to create that climate in the city. Everyone opposed to the BNP must stand together against this poison.”
Griffin’s visit was to mark a year since BNP activist Keith Brown was killed in a scuffle with his Muslim neighbour, Habib Khan. Brown had subjected the Khan family to a four-year campaign of racist thuggery and was attacking Khan’s son when he was killed.
A jury recently cleared Habib Khan of murder, but found him guilty of manslaughter. He is currently awaiting sentencing.
Journalist Peter Oborne, who investigated the BNP’s turn to Islamophobia for a Channel 4 documentary, says the organisation now plans to use Brown’s death to whip up a hate campaign against Muslims.
“The BNP told us on our recent visit that they are about to launch a new nationwide anti-Muslim campaign from Stoke,” he wrote. “The launch pad for this new era of hostility will be the sentencing of Habib Khan... Brown is to be promoted as the first ‘BNP martyr’.”
The Nazis have been targeting Stoke for several years now and have nine seats on the council. Griffin now describes the city as the “jewel in the crown of the BNP”.
Anti-fascists are concerned that the BNP could take the post of Stoke’s elected mayor next year, giving the Nazis access to a multimillion pound public budget.
Meanwhile the Nazis failed to win any of the three by-elections in outer London that it contested on Thursday of last week.
UAF volunteers were active in the anti-BNP campaign in each ward, helping to leaflet every home targeted by the Nazis.
Nevertheless the BNP vote was worryingly high. It polled 25 percent in Chadwell Heath ward, Barking & Dagenham, 17 percent in Christchurch ward, Bexley, and 21 percent in South Hornchurch ward, Havering.
Hilang Dalam Terang...
Assalamu'alaikum...Berjaya jugak akhirnya UMNO/BN mengalih tumpuan rakyat Malaysia dari beberapa isu besar yang selama ni memonopoli muka depan media perdana...
Kenyataannya ialah debat "demonstrasi besar-besaran", debat Anwar & Shabery hanyalah gula-gula dari KERAjaan UMNO/BN untuk mengalih perhatian rakyat Malaysia daripada tertumpu pada hanya beberapa isu yang selama ini ditimbulkan oleh UMNO/BN tetapi gagal dikawal oleh mereka hingga akhirnya memakan diri sendiri.
Mana pergi Najib, Rosmah, Atlantuya & C4?
Mana pergi Che' Det & institusi korek korek korek?
Mana pergi RPK & akuan bersumpahnya?
Mana pergi Saiful & kejantanannya?
Mana pergi Bala & keluarganya?
Mana pergi semua kontroversi-kontroversi yang melanda KERAjaan selama ni?
Hilang...akhirnya semuanya hilang dalam filem terbaru arahan UMNO/BN bertajuk Usul Undi Tak Percaya & Demo Besar-besaran & esok pula akan dihidangkan filem Anwar, Shabery & Teori "Hari Ini Bentuk Kerajaan,Esok Harga Minyak Turun"...
Aku tengok pengarah-pengarah filem segera dalam UMNO/BN tumbuh macam cendawan lepas hujan & filem-filem yang direkanya pun boleh tahan jugak hitnya...hari ni launch, petang tu jugak Box Office...hebat & kreatif, tapi bab lojik memang "0" telur...
Mulai esok dan hari-hari kemudiannya mungkin Anwar akan jadi tajuk utama media perdana kalau mantan TPM tu gagal dalam debat yang bakal berlangsung malam esok...kalau Anwar berjaya & Shabery gagal...UMNO/BN tak risau...aku yakin filem-filem baru dah disediakan untuk tatapan rakyat Malaysia & aku jangkakan lepas ni banyak lagi filem-filem box office bakal disajikan buat seluruh rakyat Malaysia.
Satu lagi kemungkinan yang bakal berlaku...debat malam esok akan jadi pengukur kepada masa depan Anwar & ianya mungkin dah dirancang sebegitu rupa untuk menafikan keterlibatan Anwar dalam politik Malaysia...
Macam mana ya???
Inilah yang kita panggil serampang 2 mata...adakan debat sebagai perangkap untuk Anwar...taruhannya ialah masa depan politik...kalau Anwar berjaya, masa depan politiknya bakal ditamatkan dengan tangkapan atas kes liwat & kita sedia maklum kemungkinan bukti-bukti telah direka cuma menunggu masa untuk tindakan sahaja...
Dan sekiranya Anwar gagal...kemungkinan untuk Anwar ditangkap akan menurun sebanyak 70% dan masa depan politik Anwar akan tamat dengan sendirinya jika Anwar gagal meyakinkan rakyat akan strategi yang akan digunakan bagi menurunkan harga minyak...
Pi mai pi mai...tang tu jugak...adakan debat supaya Anwar bocorkan formula kewangan untuk menurunkan harga minyak, tangkap atas dakwaan liwat kemudian KERAjaan tanpa segan silu akan mengguna pakai idea Anwar dalam menghadapi kegawatan...
Lepas ni berjoget sakan lagi la puak-puak dacing...
Aku malas nak fikir dah...mata dah ngantuk...esok la pulak aku fikir...korang-korang tunggu je la kejutan seterusnya...
DAP For All
email dari : kent chongHi Malaysian,
This program was made possible by a volunteer doctor who lives in Subang Jaya. He came to my office right after the election and offered his assistance to serve the people alongside me. His wife, also a doctor joined the team as well. There were young medical graduates from Subang Jaya who were also part of the team.
We provided free random blood sugar and cholesterol test, free blood pressure check, body mass index measurement and height and weight test.
The residents of different races came to do their check-ups and there were some who came to accompany their spouse but were reluctant to do a check-up for themselves. When asked why, they simply replied "I don't want to know because I know the reading will surely be high". Such is the mindset of many Malaysians when it comes to health checks. Look at our eating habits. We can't afford the price of ignorance. Health is priceless. Treasure it and work on it.There was also a talk on cataract. The senior citizens living there received much from the talk. Remember the senior citizen mentioned in my blog titled "Enriching lives" who has an eye condition? We brought him to see the eye specialist here and I'm pleased to tell you that he will be given a free and thorough check-up by this doctor.
Luangkan masa sebanyak mungkin baca dan memahami Ayat Suci Al-Quran
Posted by Cahaya Nur ImanRasulullah s.a.w sentiasa mengingatkan umat Islam supaya membaca dan menghayati al-Quran dalam kehidupan seharian.
Baginda juga menggesa sahabat supaya meluangkan masa sebanyak mungkin membaca dan memahami al-Quran. Antaranya baginda menyarankan supaya menghabiskan seluruh kandungan al-Quran dalam masa tiga hari.
Umat Islam juga disarankan tidak terlalu lama menghabiskan bacaan al-Quran dan sebaik-baiknya hendaklah dihabiskan dalam masa seminggu.
Sahabat ternama seperti Saidina Uthman, Zaid bin Thabit dan Ibnu Mas’ud menghabiskan bacaan al-Quran dalam masa seminggu. Mereka menggunakan kaedah seperti berikut:
Selain itu umat Islam disarankan membaca surah tertentu sebagai ulangan pada setiap hari iaitu surah Yasin, ad-Dukhan, al-Waqi’ah dan al-Mulk serta ditambah surah al-Kahfi dan Ali-Imran pada malam Jumaat. Waktu utama membaca al-Quran ialah ketika dalam solat pada waktu malam, separuh akhir malam dan selepas Subuh. Hadis nabi bermaksud: “Sesiapa yang belajar ilmu agama yang seharusnya untuk mencapai keredaan Allah, tiba-tiba dipelajarinya untuk mencapai tujuan dunia, maka dia tidak akan mencium bau syurga pada hari kiamat.” |
PDRM - Lain Boleh, Jangan Demo Sudah!!!
Assalamu'alaikum...Amaran Keras Oleh PDRM - Jangan berdemonstrasi!
Polis kata jangan... ( berdemonstrasi )
Polis kata jangan... ( berdemonstrasi )
Polis kata jangan... ( berdemonstrasi )
Polis kata jangan... ( berdemonstrasi )
Polis kata jangan... ( berdemonstrasi )
Polis kata jangan... ( berdemonstrasi )
Polis kata jangan... ( berdemonstrasi )
Itulah ayat "Keramat" dari PDRM semenjak tahun lepas sebelum gelombang kuning melanda negara Malaysia & kata-kata "Keramat" tu sampai ke hari ni masih "relevan" dalam mana-mana ceramah, kenyataan, tazkirah atau ingatan dari pihak KERAjaan & PDRM...
Boleh dikatakan tiap-tiap hari ayat tu diulang-ulang disemua media perdana sampaikan naik lunyai dah taik telinga kita yang mendengar amanat hancing ke 2-2 pihak tu.
Semalam pulak aku jadi rakyat Malaysia yang paling bangga di Malaysia bila tengokkan kekuatan platun PDRM yang bertungkus-lumus mengadakan sekatan jalanraya disana-sini mengalahkan pasar malam...
Kalau bawak kereta waktu malam, korang tengok cermin pandang belakang...kelip-kelip lampu biru kat belakang belum hilang, yang kat depan dah ada lagi satu lampu kelip-kelip lampu biru menunggu...meriah amat...macam pemandangan tengah laut Terengganu masa musim menyandat sotong tempohari...
Ni ha...hari ni pulak...pagi masa nak pergi kerja aku terfikir lak satu keadaan...agaknya macam ni la kot sahabat-sahabat kita kat Palestin tu hari-hari kene ngadap road block puak-puak yahudi...macam ada persamaan la...polis Yahudi buat sekatan kononnya dapat maklumat ada pengganas nak bom Israel...polis Malaysia pulak buat road block sebab dapat maklumat ada demo...nak tau sama tang mana???
2-2 polis BANGANG ni percaya dekat khabar angin!!!
Yang paling aku heran sekali bila aku tengok situasi semalam & hari ni & juga khabar-khabar bergambar dari kawan-kawan aku dari merata-rata tempat membuktikan bahawa Malaysia sebenarnya mempunyai kekuatan anggota polis yang bukan sedikit malah kalau nak berperang pun aku rasa tak de masalah langsung.
Tapi.........
MANA PERGI SEMUA BANGANG-BANGANG tu bila berlaku kes jenayah?
MANA PERGI SEMUA BANGANG-BANGANG tu bila berlaku kes culik?
MANA PERGI SEMUA BANGANG-BANGANG tu bila berlaku kes rompakan?
MANA PERGI SEMUA BANGANG-BANGANG tu bila berlaku kes bunuh?
MANA PERGI SEMUA BANGANG-BANGANG TU BILA ORANG AWAM DIANCAM JENAYAH???
Kenapa semua kekuatan tu hilang entah kemana bila berlaku jenayah? Kenapa polis boleh keluarkan kenyataan bahawa disesetengah tempat PDRM menghadapi kesukaran untuk membanteras jenayah berikutan kekurangan anggota...KEKURANGAN ANGGOTA KEPALA HOTAK ENGKAU!!!
Dari situasi & keadaan yang berlaku 2-3 hari ni aku dapat simpulkan bahawa PDRM LANGSUNG TAK SERIUS dalam menjalankan tugas menjaga keselamatan rakyat Malaysia dari aktiviti-aktiviti jenayah yang makin berleluasa...
Buktinya, korang bukak la akhbar apa pun yang ada di Malaysia ni & korang tengok sendiri la berapa banyak kes jenayah berlaku setiap hari dikeliling kita & apa tindakan PDRM untuk meminimakan semua jenayah-jenayah tu.kita bukan mintak minimakan sampai 0% kadar jenayah & itu kita faham bahawa jenayah memang akan berlaku juga walau macam mana pun tapi yang kita persoalkan ialah tindakan PDRM...TINDAKAN!
Apa yang kita nampak & berlaku ialah PDRM lebih serius dalam soal politik...demo, demo, demo tak de lain...hal jenayah??? HAMPAS!!!
Aku nak tanya PDRM & pembaca-pembaca semua :
- dalam setiap demo yang dah diadakan di Malaysia, berapa ramai rakyat yang mampus sebab aktiviti demonstrator?
- dalam setiap demo yang dah diadakan di Malaysia, berapa ramai rakyat yang hilang harta benda dirompak demonstrator?
- dalam setiap demo yang dah diadakan di Malaysia, berapa ramai rakyat yang hilang anak bini akibat diculik demonstrator?
- dalam setiap demo yang dah diadakan di Malaysia, berapa banyak bank yang dah dirompak demonstrator?
- dalam setiap demo yang dah diadakan di Malaysia, berapa banyak kedai makan & kedai runcit yang kena pecah oleh demonstrator?
Cukup soalan aku & kalau jawapan korang untuk semua soalan diatas ialah "TIADA" maka tak salahlah kalau aku cakap pemimpin tertinggi KERAjaan & PDRM BANGANG, BANGANG, BANGANG & BANGANG!!!
Kesimpulannya kita rakyat Malaysia ni kalau buat kesalahan jenayah pasti pihak PDRM & KERAjaan tak kisah sangat & mungkin dianggap sebagai kes-kes terpencil tapi kalau kita rakyat Malaysia terlibat dengan "DEMONSTRASI" tunggulah labanya dari KERAjaan & dibantu oleh BANGANG-BANGANG PDRM & kesalahan tu mungkin dianggap lebih berat dari kesalahan MURTAD!!!lebih-lebih lagi kalau demo yang dianjurkan oleh pembangkang!
Kenyataan yang berlaku di Malaysia ialah PDRM DIKUASAI OLEH KERAjaan UNTUK KEPENTINGAN POLITIK MEREKA & PENGUASA TERTINGGI PDRM ADALAH ALAT YANG BOLEH DIKAWAL BILA-BILA MASA OLEH KERAjaan YANG ADA DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN REMOTE CONTROL.
HANCUR NEGARA MALAYSIA bukan kerana ramai rakyatnya terlibat dengan jenayah, tetapi HANCURNYA NEGARA MALAYSIA adalah kerana penguasa yang sepatutnya menjaga ketenteraman awam SIBUK BERPOLITIK LEBIH DARI AHLI POLITIK.
Sekadar menjelaskan pada semua...memang agak keras bahasa yang aku gunakan & aku tujukan pada pihak yang terbabit ( PDRM ) tapi aku rasa kesabaran aku dah hilang dalam soal keselamatan awam ni...semua anggota PDRM dari atas hingga yang bawah sekali DIAMANAHKAN oleh rakyat untuk menjaga keselamatan awam tapi nampaknya korang tak berminat nak pikul tanggungjawab tu...
Rakyat menjadi pembayar cukai, rakyat bekerja membanting tulang setiap masa & kebanyakan rakyat membayar cukai & dengan wang cukai rakyat itulah gaji kamu anggota-anggota PDRM dibayar tetapi apa yang rakyat dapat?
Keselamatan diri langsung tak terjamin apalagi keselamatan harta benda.bukan mengharap semuanya pada pihak berkuasa tapi bila tak nampak ada tindakan yang serius dari pihak yang sepatutnya jadi rakyat berhak untuk bersuara, tapi dimana suara rakyat pada pihak berkuasa???
Sekadar angin sebab tidak disertai dengan RM RM RM RM RM...lain pulak suara pak pak menteri diatas sana...walau laporan & maklumatnya tak masuk diakal tapi sebabkan maklumat tu beserta dengan kemasukan RM RM RM RM RM...jadi itulah yang didahulukan ya???
Pada aku mentaliti anggota tertinggi PDRM sekadar mentaliti BERUK JE...dapat pisang, pantas lah memanjat kelapa...tak dapat pisang, walau buah kelapa belambak-lambak kat atas pokok tu...jangan harap le nak panjat...
Korang makan la DUIT GAJI HARAM tu...sampai mampus aku tak kan halalkan walau sesen duit aku yang jadi gaji korang...
*artikel ini ditujukan hanya pada mereka-mereka yang terlibat sahaja...aku tau, bukan semua anggota keselamatan yang bersubahat...masih ramai yang baik-baik & bertanggungjawab...tapi nak buat macam mana kan...rezeki ada di mana-mana...fikir-fikirkan...bukan sahaja rezeki, yang lebih penting ialah "tanggungjawab"...di akhirat kelak akan disoal...
