Justifications...

The 3 by elections (Dua Bukit Satu Batang) were already concluded with a 2 - 1 win to PR.

• The results cannot serve as refferendum to the support of the new government led by the new PM
• Only 1 clear message signalled by voters; BN needs to change / reform
• BN will study the reasons for the losses
• Nizar's victory was not a suprise as he was expected to garner SYMPATHY votes due to the political impasse in the state
• Nizar's win considered moderate (only with 2k++ majority) as he faced an 'unknown' challenger
• New PM only just took over the leadership and cannot do anything to prevent these losses
• In actual fact, BN has not lost as the results only mean that PR maintains their seats and no BN seat is lost
• BN lost the votes of young generations as they do not appreciate the sentiment of growth brought by BN through all these years; whereas the older generation showed their gratefulness to the BN govt
  
• The release of ISA detainees has nothing to do with the by elections, therefore, that move by the new PM was a sincere move in fighting for human rights and 1Malaysia
  
• etc.....

In contrary:

• The win clearly expressed that the rural people's trust for BN
• This is a good message for PR to get out of Sarawak and no room for them there
• This victory is an endorsement to Najib

Fine... No problem... I really hope that the next GE will shut their mouth up... I'll wait...!!! As long as God permits, I'LL DEFINITELY WAIT FOR THAT ONE SWEET DAY...!!!

I admit, but i'll still die in it...!!

A normally lazy Sunday was not happening as I have to wake up early as my wife's relatives put up overnight at our partly furnished house. Not nice la to wake up too late, isn't it?? Hehehe..

I went to buy breakfast and for the first time in so many years I bought newspapers on Sunday morning. Sunday Star and Berita Minggu. I flipped through the Star and I read one good Q&A session with Nazri Aziz. Read it here http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/3/8/focus/3430093&sec=focus.

It is so obvious that the so called money politics can't be separated from UMNO. At least he admitted it. It's just so unfortunate that he will die with it. Don't have balls to get out of the stinking tunnel.

As I've posted before, most of members of UMNO, 'inherited' their membership from their forefathers and therefore do not want to 'betray' that culture. What?? Your brain also inherited ka?? It's almost the same as religion. 'Some' of the muslims just inherit the religion without conforming to its teachings. They just blindly follow.... "At least they have something to hold on to and can have that sense of belonging," said one of my good friend.

Hmmm.... Then, why did God gave us brain individually and not collectively? Like the strata title compared to individual title?

A good UMNO friend of mine ask me few days back, "Do you think that you're damn perfect that you want to blame everything you see..??" I replied, "Yup, I am damn perfect not to fall prey to all these nonsense, for the least."

Are all of them blind?? Or blinded only by money and power?? Or like what U2 says "got stuck in the moment, and you can't get out of it"...???? God knows...

Fenin...

Waduh... Such a headache these few days.. Such a chaos.. Main important lesson that we can learn from here is actually - POLITICIANS ARE NOT SERVING US!!!! No matter from which party they are from, what matters most for them is just their own stomach!! Full stop...!!!

Warisan..... 1... 2... 3...

Anak kecil main api,
Terbakar hatinya yang sepi,
Air mata darah bercampur keringat,
Bumi dipijak milik orang.

Nenek moyang kaya raya,
Tergadai seluruh harta benda,
Akibat sengketa sesamalah kita,
Cita lenyap di arus zaman.

Indahnya bumi kita ini,
Warisan berkurun lamanya,
Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain,
Pribumi merintih sendiri.

Masa depan sungguh kelam,
Kan lenyap peristiwa semalam,
Tertutuplah hati terkunci mati,
Maruah peribadi dah hilang.

Kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa,
Yang akan menentukan bangsa,
Bersatulah hati bersama berbakti,
Pulih kembali harga diri.

Kita sudah tiada masa,
Majulah dengan Maha Perkasa,
Janganlah terlalai teruskan usaha,
Melayu Gagah Di Nusantara.

This song has been in the memory of many Malays for ages. I wonder who created it and the purpose of it's creation. If we plainly read thru the lyrics, it tells few stories.

1. The Malays have lost lots of land to others whether it's Chinese, Indians, foreigners, etc which was inherited from the ancestors.

2. The Malays from earlier days are not united and always fight among themselves which led to disasterous condition.

3. The Malays are suffering from their own problems which in the end resulted in lost of dignity as a whole.

4. The political power which are still lies within Malays grasp is the only way out of this suffering to become once again a dignified community.

Hhhhhmmmmm.....
I remember my conversation with one of my good friend hails from Perak which is actually a PAS supporter despite most of his family members are UMNO members including few top officials. We were on the way to KT for the bye-bye election recently. He hated UMNO before and still hates UMNO now but after GE last year and the transition of government in Perak to PR, he is really pissed off with PR. His reason is because the PAS govt in Perak is just a puppet govt to DAP as non-Malay exco members are more than Malays. It benefits the non-Malays more than the majority citizens of the state.

He raised 1 issue regarding the reward of freehold land titles to the chinese in Perak instead of previously UMNO govt only gave out leasehold titles.

My questions are:-

1. Are these chinese the rich chinese or the poor ones?

2. Are these chinese citizens of this country, born in this country, work and earn their living in this country?

3. How many acres of land involved in this issue? Are they more than what UMNO has given to the rich and famous chinese over 50 years occupation?

4. Who decided DAP to hold more state seats than PAS and PKR and UMNO? The people or the government or UMNO or Pak Lah or Tajol Rosli or who??

5. Last question is whether these chinese are human or animal? Are their blood red or green or black or orange in colour? They breath thru nose, mouth, ears, skin, feet or what?

If UMNO has never really concerned about lost of bumi land over these 50 years, what difference does it make now?

Malays are not united and the main factor is greed. True or not?? Look back and study down the memory lane on how UMNO as the biggest Malay political party fight among themselves over absolute power which lead to money. If money politics (money politics?? any different with corruption??) does not exist, UMNO will cease to exist.

Political power remain with the Malays but UMNO Malays do nothing to bring back the dignity of Malays. Their Malay means on UMNO Malays and not even all UMNO Malays are their brothers.

UMNO announced before KT bye-bye election that they have allocated RM7m to replace ruined village houses roof in that constituency. My house in KT suffers a serious leakage and my mother went to register at the JKKK of our kampung. That was almost 2 months ago and up till now - nothing...

Somewhere around June 2007, my late father (Al-Fatihah), spotted some mismanagement of our kampung's mosque funds. Most of the mosque's committee members are from JKKK which directly means UMNO members. My father (his grandfather was the founder of the mosque) felt responsible to stop all the nonsense, started a movement to topple JKKK by secretly gathering support for him and his ally (a prominent Datuk in the area) to win the seat of UMNO Branch Chief and Deputy Chief in the 2008 UMNO election. The support was growing resulted in the secret was no longer a secret and the current chief who is also the JKKK chairman knew about it. But Allah loves him more that He The Almighty summoned him first in Dec 2007.

Due to this event, my mother's application for new roofing was kept refrigerated. Malays are full of envy, revenge and greed - mostly in UMNO....

Will you still bank in UMNO to protect and bring back the dignity of Malays? MELAYU KAN GAGAH DI NUSANTARA????!!!!!

By-Election atau Bye-Bye-Election??

Pilihanraya Kecil (PRK) Kuala Terengganu telah berakhir dan PAS telah menang bergaya. Alhamdulillah.. Saya anak kelahiran Kuala Terengganu dan mama tersayang keseorangan tinggal di sana setelah papa meninggal. Cuba juga mengajak mama tinggal bersama di KL namun dia lebih selesa tinggal di kampung, "dok la boring, banyok mende boleh buat" katanya.

Agak terkilan kerana tidak mengundi di KT kerana nama telah ter'register' di Balakong mengikut alamat MyKad. Namun, saya berkesempatan pulang pada hujung minggu selepas penamaan calon dan menyaksikan sendiri perang kempen kedua-dua belah pihak dalam keadaan hingar-bingar dan kesesakan jalan adalah lebih teruk dibandingkan semasa pulang berhari raya.

Kekalahan BN telah mengundang pelbagai teori dan persepsi terutama peluang Pakatan Rakyat untuk mengambilalih kerajaan pusat. Kekalahan di KT memberi indikasi gelombang tsunami politik masih kuat walaupun PRU sudah hampir setahun berlalu dan 16 September tidak menjadi kenyataan. Pemimpin BN telah mengeluarkan pelbagai alasan untuk menjustifikasi kekalahan di KT dengan majoriti lebih 2,000 undi berbanding kemenangan Allahyarham Datuk Razali Ismail dengan majoriti lebih 600 undi.

Paling 'glamor' ialah alasan pengundi muda dan taktik kotor pihak pembangkang seperti menghalang pengundi keluar. Hhhhmmm... Taktik kotor pembangkang?? Sungguh bingung memikirkan apa yang pembangkang mampu buat sedangkan BN telah menggerakkan seluruh jentera kerajaan dalam menghadapi PRK ini termasuk menempatkan lebih 10,000 polis di KT sahaja.

Timbalan Pengerusi BN yang juga mengepalai BN di PRK KT telah mengeluarkan kenyataan bahawa UMNO dan BN perlu berubah dan lebih berjiwa rakyat dalam memenangi hati rakyat.

Wah..!! Jelas sekali 'wakil rakyat' yang kita pilih tidak berjiwa rakyat rupanya. Mereka yang sepatutnya menjadi wakil kita dan bekerja untuk menjaga kepentingan kita rupanya tidak 'suka' kita. Habis tu buat apa pilih?? Mereka ini berjiwa apa??

Katanya lagi, UMNO dan BN perlu berubah untuk jadi kurang 'flashy'.... Hmmmm... Terjawab lah soalan tadi. Mereka berjiwa 'sendiri', berjiwa 'mewah', mementingkan tembolok sendiri tanpa memikirkan tujuan asal terpilih. Rupanya rakyat dalam negara mereka hanyalah mereka sendiri dan beberapa orang yang rapat. Rupanya, selama ini kita pilih mereka untuk jadi kaya bukan untuk berkhidmat bagi pihak kita. Salah pilihan kita agaknya.

Berbalik kepada perjalanan pulang saya semasa tempoh berkempen. Kebetulan pula balu Allahyarham Datuk Razali Ismail merupakan dua pupu saya iaitu kami dari moyang yang sama. Sepanjang saya di sana, saya berkesempatan bertemu dengan ramai orang UMNO (kerana pergi dengan seorang kawan ahli UMNO) termasuk beberapa anak pemimpin penting dalam UMNO. Rata-rata apabila ditanya apakah peluang calon BN mereka menjawab 'susah nak menang'. Kenapa?? BN tidak fokus kepada mengambil hati pengundi.

Allahyarham dahulu sering pergi berjemaah subuh di surau atau masjid tiap kali berada di KT dan pernah juga memberi kuliah subuh kepada jemaah. Calon BN yang ini tak pernah kelihatan pun berjemaah sebelum ini. Keluar berkempen pun pukul 10 pagi sebab malam terlalu penat mesyuarat gerakan. Contoh ini diberitahu kepada saya oleh orang yang rapat dengan Allahyarham.

Pemimpin UMNO dan BN datang ke KT dengan 'entourage' yang besar siap dengan 'outrider' dan sebagainya. Apabila pemimpin nak naik lif masuk dan keluar dari hotel, 15 minit sebelumnya lagi tetamu hotel yang lain terpaksalah naik lif barang. Tempat letak kereta penuh memaksa penduduk KT parking la kereta kat mana-mana yang boleh. Nasib baiklah kebanyakkan penduduk KT pandu kereta-kereta kecil sahaja berbanding dengan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO dan BN ni, jadi bolehlah selit je.

Inilah situasi dan keadaan semasa tempoh berkempen yang mengundang persepsi buruk rakyat kepada BN. Berbeza dengan PAS dan PR. Jauh bezanya macam langit dengan bumi. Ada EXCO PAS dari Kelantan datang ke KT dan menyewa rumah, tinggal di situ bersama beberapa ahli-ahli PAS biasa yang datang dari segenap pelusuk negara. Tinggal di situ macam tinggal di asrama, memasak dan makan bersama-sama. Apabila masuk waktu solat termasuk subuh, mereka pergi berjemaah bersama-sama di surau atau masjid dan seterusnya keluar berkempen dari rumah ke rumah.

Saya percaya, mereka ini bukan buat-buat semata-mata hanya untuk memenangi hati pengundi tetapi kerana mereka memang berhati rakyat. Namun, saya tidak pasti sama ada mereka akan terus begini sekiranya PR berjaya menjadi Kerajaan kelak. Rasanya, hampir semua rakyat negara ini memerlukan pemimpin yang ikhlas dalam memperjuangkan nasib rakyat.

Pada pandangan rakyat, sebenarnya, kekalahan UMNO / BN dalam PRK KT bukanlah kerana pelbagai alasan bodoh yang diberikan oleh pemimpin tetapi sebenarnya lebih kepada - KAMI MAHUKAN 'WAKIL RAKYAT' dan bukannya wakil diri.

Seorang rakan karib saya memberitahu bahawa KT By-Election adalah sebenarnya UMNO/BN Bye-Bye Election...!!!

Hope or Dream??

Obama sworn in as 44th US President.

I believe this headline is the hottest talk in the whole world. I didn't managed to get in front of my TV in time for the auguration ceremony but I did watched the review and highlights this morning. I also believe that many of us in Malaysia at least aware of this event and most of us even paid so much attention in watching the live telecast. Why?? What it has got to do with us??

If you ask somebody related to Mr Obama, they will say it has got everything to do with them. Similarly if you ask the citizens of USA. Even if you ask the people of under invasion Iraq will also agree with the cause of their attention likewise the people of Afganistan. For Muslims and most of the concern people of the world, they will think and hope that Mr Obama is human enough and symphatise the suffering Palestinians and will take bold action to end the war.

The rest of us will just read or watch the news like other regular daily news. No significance at all and nothing to be excited about.

In my point of view, Mr Obama's election to the helm of "most powerful country in the world" can be adopted to us in Malaysia in many ways. Of course the most obvious would be the fact that he is the first black president which when translated means that the citizens of the most powerful country in the world proved to be ir'racial'nal and already accepting the rights of minority or the migrant of the country.

Secondly, he has not yet 48 years old when he was elected in Nov 08 and even now when he has already sworn in. This acknowledge that the young blood is more in charge of the situation even there was a ball attributed to the youth in celebrating Mr Obama's swearing in.

Thirdly, he is very educated man with excellent academic records, not just a no brainer politician and also a true fighter. He graduated from Columbia State (B.A.) and Harvard Law School (J.D.) and imagine that he went through all that without a father figure in his life as his family was broken. Brilliant and survivor which makes him 'berjiwa rakyat' and really understand the plight normal people.

Let's try to picture all these into our own Malaysia..... What do you see????!!!! HOPE or DREAM??!!

Elderly Unity....

Yesterday, as I took my daughter to the playground just in front of my house, I met an old chinese uncle who also brought his grandson to play there. I said hi and we engaged in a basic conversation. I asked him where he came from as I noticed that his malay is quite fluent with some Terengganu accent. I was proven right as he is originally from Pulau Kambing, Terengganu and is here to stay with his daughter. We went into a more intimate conversation as we're 'sekampung' and to my surprise, his wife was from the same 'kampung' as my mother and in fact just 2 doors away from my grandmother's house. He even recognise my uncle who passed away last year and noticed that I have some physical resemblance to him.

He asked me to call my mother and invited us to his house which is just 4 doors away from my house. What a small world. My mother straight away recognised the nyonya addressed as 'Mek Bujang' (according to my mother she was called Bujang as she got married very late). Mek Bujang did not recognise my mother because my mother moved out of the house some 30 years ago after getting married but she remembers strongly of my grandmother (Mok Ngoh Mek) and my great grandmother (Mok Ngoh Nye). The conversation got louder with laughter and walk down the memory lane.

What really fascinate me was that their closeness, really like old family friends regardless of race. The smell of 'colok cina' inside the house did not really affected my mother in talking with Mek Bujang with their hands holding each other. Wow...!!! So much for the race issue raised by so many Malays (especially UMNO Malays) nowadays.

So Mek Bujang told me that their families were very close together during those old days that even my great grandmother often went to her house to borrow some jewelleries whenever she wanted to go to weddings or kenduri. They even lend monies between each other during time of need.

Then she came out with this exact statement - "Kite, orang dulu dulu, memang rapat macam adik beradik doh. Dok kire cine ke melayu. Le ni jer sibuk baloh pasal melayu ngan cine. Dok tahu la bakpe. Melayu le ni banyok ngat deki ke cine padahal cine ni cume nok cari makang je. Kalu kite duduk molek macam zamang dulu dulu, sama sama boleh carik makang."

Translation - All of us were very close those days regardles of Malay or Chinese. Only now the Malay and Chinese are fighting against each other and don't know why. The Malays are envy of the Chinese although the Chinese are only making their ends meet. If all of us live like the old days, everyone will be happy.

The politicians are the one to be blame for all this regardless of their parties. They will play this issue in their political struggle. They will raise this sentiment when they want support especially from people within their own organisation. They will talk about this when they need to maintain their position so that they will be fatter and fatter.

The fact is, they forgot about all this when money is involved. When they got paid millions of RM to approve projects. When they receive millions of gifts just to persuade approvals. ETC...

Be reminded that in Islam, all humans are His servants regardless of their race. What differ is only their 'IMAN'. But still, muslims are taught to treat others with respect.

So much we can learn from the past or the least just learn something from the elderly. They are wiser in that sense when no personal interest involved.

I totally agree... What say you...???

RM16m Windfall - stupid FOMCA...

This is what was published in The Star last Saturday:

Government makes RM16mil a day from fuel windfall
By IZWAN IDRIS and LESTER KONG
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government is set to get windfall gains of up to RM16mil per day based on yesterday’s crude oil price of US$44 (RM158.40) per barrel and a consumption estimate of 27.5 million litres per day .
This windfall comes about because the pump prices of fuel have not been reduced enough to reflect the lower crude prices, oil analysts said.
This has prompted the Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (Fomca) to request the Government to reveal how it plans to spend the windfall revenue.
Its secretary-general Muhd Sha’ani Abdullah urged the Government to invest the money in public transportation for the benefit of everyone.
The crude oil price in New York fell to a four-year low at below US$44 per barrel yesterday, dragged down by demand worries amid the worsening outlook of the global economy.

At this level, the market price for RON 97 grade petrol should be about RM1.30 per litre, which is 60 sen lower than the RM1.90 per litre Malaysians are currently paying, the analysts said.

WOW....!!!! RM16m a day?? Making money out of our misery?? SO cunning.. Although in another article Shahrir Samad denied this but his arguments was so weak and general. Of course the calculation was based on current price which is much cheaper that the previous average price and this new price will come into effect for the next 2 weeks or so. I totally understand that but the point is... -> THE GOVERNMENT IS MAKING MONEY OUT OF OUR MISERY!!!

The govt decided to increase the fuel price from RM1.92 to RM2.70, a very significant and burdening 40% increase, which resulted in sudden surge of goods price especially consumer goods. Despite advises from many analysts saying that the increase in global crude oil price was only temporary, the govt ignored all these saying that this can further affect our future generation...??? SO blindly stupid as if we cannot survive now then how can there be any future generation? I was against this statement as I personally feel that although we want to safeguard the interest of our future generation ie our children, we should never sacrifice our own interest up to that level because if we cannot survive now then can we expect our children can survive later?

Back to the issue, the govt decision was the major contributor to the surge of consumer goods price. The analysts were proven right when not even half a year, the crude oil price started to fall an now even hit the lowest level in 4 years, much lower when they decide to increase the fuel price. The problem now is the price of goods do not fall in parallel with the drop of fuel price. They do in certain outlets but not as drastic as the increase. Most of the businesses are still maintaining the same price.

This is what I want to highlight actually.... -> Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (Fomca) to request the Government to reveal how it plans to spend the windfall revenue...!!!????

Hei buffalo....!!! Ask the govt to reveal its plan on how to spend?? SO stupid buffalo ass lickers...

1. The stupid and corrupt govt will never disclose to you the real spending using that surplus fund. They will definitely allocate most of it to fatten up their belly so why they want to disclose to you the real truth. In the same statement, this idiot Muhd Sha'ani Abdullah urged the govt to invest in public transportation for the benefit of the people. The people?? Who?? Us or the cronies or their families? RapidKL is under Pak Lah's family regime. So this idiot must have meant to invest the money in public transportation for the benefit of Pak Lah's family la... OOOOOooo... Cakap biar terang...!!!

2. The hike of consumer goods price was directly due to the increase in fuel price. Therefore, simply reduce the fuel price further and not just 10 cents. For the least, we can have a cheaper petrol for our cars and therefore saves us more money which will be used to buffer the high consumer goods price. I erally think this is very plain and straight forward thinking already and need no position in FOMCA to come out with this. Why is this idiot so stupid not to come out with this kind of thinking? Why ask the govt to spend on something else?

Bodoh will still be bodoh if that person does not want to learn but stupid ass lickers can never be changed forever.. LOST... RIP..

Boooorrrrriiiiinnnnnngggggg!!!!!

One very good lesson that I've learnt from current political situation -> Damn Bloody Boring... Same old story over and over again..

Politicians will always want to do things that will benefit their political career which in return will benefit their big stomach and which will end up resulting the people to suffer more. This scenario applies to all politicians regardless of their party or ideology. They totally forgot that they are actually 'machai' of the people as we have elected them to work for our benefit.

Instead of working hard securing our interest, they look for opportunities to fatten their belly first then only if ever they have some courtesy, they will give some back to the people. This can be seen in UMNO, MCA, MIC, PKR, DAP, PAS, etc... Why?

It is because, not only politicians do politics. We, the ordinary people, also do politicking especially office politics, friendship politics, family politics, etc. Politic has always been in ourselves. My wife read me a "bedtime" story last night about her office politics. I always have this thought that big international companies will have a very comfortable, pleasant working environment with less office politics. But I knew I was wrong the moment my wife spoke her heart out.

The meritocracy system that should be implemented in all aspects of our life is still very much exposed to politicking as it leaves out some subjective element of people's discretion / opinion in determining the reward or who should be rewarded. As in my wife's case, the performance of an employee will almost totally depending on the discretion of his/her superior in rating their appraisal. Leaders will face the risk of being blinded by those ass lickers and thus making others look less committed.

Yes.... I really think that the term "ass lickers" is just as similar as "politicians". Unfortunately, the asses that they lick are not ours - just their superiors which are also politicians. They have to do that for their political survival which will lead back to fatten up belly and so so so so so...... bla bla bla..... boring boring boring.......!!!!

Will there be any one good samaritans join politics just for the cause of helping us the people?? NO WAY.... I assume that these good people do not know how to lick asses and therefore definitely cannot be a politician.

I've spoken to a long time good friend of mine whose wife is quite actively involved in PKR and told me that his wife is no longer active as she was not happy with few leaders of PKR especially from the youth wing. HHHmmmmm... Why there's any indifference? Simple... The objective is not the same. They are fighting for the same cause which is to serve the people. If everyone in the party work that, I can guarantee there will no rift arises. I bet on my last few dollars in my pocket now.

This is what happening in PKR, the party that should be fighting in the spirit of Malaysians. Who shouted of reform to the whole country, who pledged that they will stay true to their battle. BULLSHITS....!! Same old story... BBBOOOOORRRRRRIIIIINNNGGG!!!!!

Zaid Ibrahim was sacked from UMNO for attending DAP dinner and PKR congress... Hahahahaha!!! So stupid. You have different political view so you can't be friends?? Then I will have to stop being friends with so many of my childhood frineds, schoolmates, officemates, bosses, and so on.... Wow..!! Frightening isn't it??

Capt Zahar is suspended for criticising the current leadership. So stupid... Leaders who do not want to hear critics should not be leaders at all. Check and balance is non existence in UMNO. Furthermore, what he was criticising involves taxpayer's money and not just UMNO's money. He spoke out against irregularities and potential fraud or power abuse. Although it is a known secret that he is Tun Madey's crony, but still he pointed out relevant issue that should be addressed by the government especially on the helicopter issue. Poor him but again suits you as you also have been one of millions leeches sucking taxpayers' money.

Will there be any saviour to our sufferings? O God the AlMighty... Please answer our prayers in the likes of a saviour...!!

Good Education???

The son of Tun Madey has commented to abolish vernacular school and maintain only single school system with Malay as the language except for Sc and Maths. Hhhhmmm... What is actually his point / objective? Let me try to think... mmmmmmmm.... Hah...!!!

The obvious reason is maybe because he is damn racist just like his beloved father. He cannot stand to see that any other races in this country can have a school of their own mother tounge and going separately from the mainstream education. He always support the Malay Supremacy and the existance of these vernacular schools threatens the supremacy status of Malay. Possible?? Very possible indeed...

Another reason that I can think of is because he wants the excellent study culture of chinese and indian students can be examplified by the malay students (a better positive assumption I guess... hahaha)...

If the reason is because of ego of not accepting other races as Malaysians, I do not want to touch anymore because I think I had enough arguments with so many of my Malay frineds which still do not understand or refuse to accept the irrelevance of racism anymore. But if the second reason is the issue, I would like to bring out thoughts to one perspective.

Is the academic excellence achieved because of the school, race or the individual attitude of the student???

People... Please understand one important thing. Our forefathers did not have the luxury of education facilities like we do today and moreover our children in the future. What really matter is the determination to strive and excel in whatever condition we're in.

The culture in Malay community with the imposement of Malay Supremacy principle by the UMNO has bogged the Malay students down and subconciously affecting their determination to excel. Why? Because they know that one fine day after their SPM, they are almost guaranteed a place in the university especially public university and there are so many goverment loans that they can apply. Therefore, doing just enough is what they are doing. JUST ENOUGH...!! Not the best but just enough...

Look at the chinese and indians. They have to excel and do their best so that they can be accepted in PRIVATE university with study LOANS. So they won't have to trouble their parents too much thinking about their own education. They have to strive for excellence. HAVE TO....!!

I am not questioning the privilege rights of the Malays as stated in Malaysian Constitution. I am questioning the need for a more competitive environment in stimulating the minds of our children to strive for excellency. We are going global, not just local. Without excellent mindset and positive attitudes, we won't survive the wave of globalisation and most importantly, our children won't be able to live their life like we live ours.

Unfortunately, my arguments will still be based on the IRRELEVANCE of MALAY SUPREMACY....!!!

Hajj...

Alhamdulillah... My Brother Hasnan has arrived at the Holy City of Mecca to perform Hajj..

What is Hajj actually? According to Oxford dictionary, the pilgrimage to Mecca which all Muslims are expected to make at least once. Performing Hajj is one of the pillars of Islam. Why? What is the big privilege or benefit of performing Hajj? It is quite costly nowadays but still Muslims all over the world willing and for some dying to perform.

There are several ritual acts must be perform in completing Hajj which includes Ihram, Wukuf, Tawaf, Sa'e, Stoning, Tahallul, etc. There are a lot of virtues and benefits for performing Hajj. (can read here http://www.islamicwell.com/Hajj.htm, or any other studies done by muslims scholar or even western scholar. The best source would be the Quran and Hadith used together with your own God-given mind).

The Hajj is the demonstration of the reality that in Islam all roads lead to the House of Allah, where nationality, race, and difference of doctrine are all blown away. The hajjis come from everywhere, from every country, every continent and every background. They come flying, sailing and by land. But whoever they are, wherever they come from and however they come, they are drawn by only one thing and to only one point – their desire to worship Allah at His House and perform the rites of the Hajj.

See...??? Islam has never thought us to be racist. What is there in Malay, Chinese, Indian, etc?? What matters most is the level of Iman which will be considered. Recently another bomb was dropped when Chua Soi Lek spoke out against Ketuanan Melayu. I read in a blog saying that he is desperately positioning himself in his party. Still want to deny the fact that race based politics is irrelevant? God has given us good brain for us to think and think in accordance to the teachings of Islam. Why not use them and we'll be a better man especially a better Muslim?

The answer is simple... They have so many skeletons in their closet that if ever they are being transparent, they definitely will be in trouble. That's all.. Simple...

Then... What about us the normal people?? Are we also being blinded by these tricks by the Amenos??

p/s: semoga Nan mendapat Haji yang mabrur... Insya-Allah..

Grateful or not??

Been a while since my last posting. Been very busy with things especially Hari Raya and the fact that I don't have internet access. The first time we celebrate raya without Papa. Difference? Definitely. We have not been out beraya on 1st Hari Raya for quite number of years as our relatives came from after solat till late evening unabling us to go out. But this year, we have to go out as we do not expect any visitor.

So many things happened during this period. The most major is the announcement from Pak Lah that he won't defend his presidency and 'hope' for Najib to take over. Shall we be grateful or not?

The fact that Pak Lah is our worst PM can never be denied and when he announced that, sigh of relief was heard all over the country. So many people are praying for his resignation as no man except for his family members and butt lickers can endure further damage to this beloved land. Nevertheless, there were a few NGOs that beg for him to reconsider his resignation especially PEKIDA or Tiga Line. Expected...

The question now is who's next? Not long after Pak Lah resignation, a scandal surface regarding the issuance of LOI to Eurocopter for intention to buy 12 helicopters to replace Nuri. The LOI was issued just 2 days before Najib and Pak Lah swapped their portfolio and it was done in a very questionable manner in which the tender evaluation process is not yet completed. Furthermore, a RM2bil LOI was only signed by an intermediate officer of MINDEF. Hmmm... So smelly... Wonder what is happenning??

Is this the kind of leader that we want to lead this nation? As I have mentioned in my previos postings and also in my arguments with friends and foes, the whole UMNO is already corrupted. The culture in it is so corrupted that no one can ever change it anymore. The only possible way is to change the government so that they won't be complacent and will always aware and cautious of what they're doing.

What will happen to this country should this one party leadership remains? Who else in UMNO that can replace the stupid PM? The greedy and womanizer? The yes sirs? The satan in religious outfit?

Shall we be grateful???

Braving the global storm...!!

We have seen a lot happening in this country in these few days. Pak Lah has switch ministry with Najib with him replacing the Defence Minister while Najib took over Finance Minister. Hhhhmmm... So fishy...!!!

World economy especially US, is looking very bad now especially after big corporations including Lehman Brothers and 12 banks collapsed and the latest were Merrill Lynch which was then sold to BAC and AIG which the Federal Government has agreed to bail it out for USD85 billion. Economists believe that this is similar to 97-98 crisis which saw the global downturn which was blame mainly on the currency speculation activities. Different from this one which they mainly blame the short-selling as the biggest crook.

Despite the dipping in USD which the RM should gain heftily, RM is actually weakening compared to already weaken USD. What does it means? Our economy is also taking a slump. The high oil price resulted a hike in inflation rate to the highest in how many light years to more than 8%. But, the crude oil price has gone down further to on USD102.73 per barrel. Why the government has not yet review the fuel price since they’ve already knew that this is the main cause of increasing inflation rate?

US John McCain said that the Federal Govt should get back to "its core business of responsibly managing our money supply and inflation".... Wow.. Believe me... This was said by an American leader. I believe, if we’re looking into globalisation and developed country, our leaders should be talking and thinking like that since hhhhmmmmm... yesterday??!!

Instead, what is happening in Malaysia is that the leaders are busy getting their tank fueled up first and believe me they have a very big tank, even bigger than a 20k litre oil tank truck... Much much bigger than that..

McCain further said that leaders should put aside partisan differences and "any action should be designed to keep people in their homes and safeguard the life savings of all Americans." OMG...!!!! Gosh... A direct hit to the head for our national leaders, be it the government and the oppositions (but I blame the government more lah... Hahhahaha!!!)

I wonder if there is any of the UMNO leaders that can come out with this kind of statement? Zaid Ibrahim took a very dignified step by resigning from his post due to indifference with Pak Lah. My opinion is that he joined the cabinet as a very wealthy man and therefore he was spared the greedy attitude of other UMNO leaders obviously in the likes of Khairy Jamaluddin (although himself is not in cabinet... Wonder what will happen if he is...???!!)

The Malays always say, “Nawaitu kene betul”... in this context, I really feel that Zaid Ibrahim accepted the cabinet post with the right attitude and “nawaitu”...

Special Taskforce to Facilitate Business (Pemudah) board member Tan Sri G. Gnanalingam quoted as saying "One of the areas the private sector must help overcome is corruption, especially in matters that deals with government machinery. The private sector will have to go directly to some of the services as opposed to going to agents and consultants who are by and large the conduits of corruption," he said in an interview recently with Business Times.

Why you’re shouting for the private sector only to fight corruption?? It is also stated there especially that deals with government machineries. Why not prevent these ill-mannered business dealings by going against all these government servants? From my experience, when you deal with govt, some daring officers will directly ask for their “commission” should they approve any deal. Being a commoner or a businessman, what will you do if you’re facing this kind of situation??

I have the privilege to know one very ethical businessman when I was A/V last time. He told me that once he won an open tender from UPM and the officer in charge daringly ask his “part” from him. What this honest man did was he withdrew his application and willingly black-listed his company for not performing. Such a great man and such a pity that our so called intellectuals are also drowned in this shit tank.

I bet, in this world, there’s only a very few people would do this. So, my point is, you can ask the private sector to fight corruption but then again it’s the requestor is the one who we should be concentrating on. If there’s no demand, then there will be no supply. Am I right?

Another question would be who are these agents and consultants dubbed the main conduits of corruptions?? Of what race is most of them comprises from? Simple and direct question with only one answer.... UMNO MALAYS...

Anwar has also announced in his press conference that he has met several fund managers for this region with more than USD1 trillion and claim that they are willing to invest in Malaysia should he becomes the PM. Truthfully, I hope he speaks the truth and only the truth as I am very sick and tired with the current UMNO government. Theoretically, he is a very famous and friendly man and has networking all over the world especially he has won the hearts of many Pak Arabs. Practically, I see him as a man that won’t say anything if he is actually empty. So I guess what he claimed is high possibly true. Logically, I DON’T KNOW.. Period...

The current government has been yelling since the stone age that they have millions and millions and trillions and quadrillions of investments to come in via so many mega projects especially the so many corridors (maybe since his residence doesn’t have any corridor???!!). It has been more than 4 years now since the first corridor announced but still I cannot see the relevance of it to the people. In fact, the only thing affecting the local people is the increasing cost of living due to the special “corridor name” given to their area.

I came across this comment in Che Det blog;

Dear Tun,

I just read from Malaysia Today Anwar Ibrahim Press Conference on 18 Sept 2008. He quoted that he had meet with "Pengurus Dana Rantau Ini" with the fund more than 1 trillion USD to give support to the change of Malaysian Politic. I would like to ask question on that matter.

1. Do he will using that fund for him to be PM
2. What will happen to PETRONAS, PROTON MISC And also KHAZANAH.
3. Can we keep giving Malaysian Citizen with subsidies fuel.
4. And last do all Malaysian will get free education and medical.

So I am so worried what will be happend. May GOD save our country.

muktiahmad

Let me try to answer it.

1. He announced that the fund will be invested when he becomes the PM and not before that. If he has this fund to become the PM, then, he will not have to ask people to distribute donation boxes in all of his ceramahs. If the commentor meant that he will use the fund as “gula-gula” to the defectors, I think he has clearly said that those defectors are not offered any position or money for them to crossover. They are just offered their own conscience.

2. I believe that PETRONAS, PROTON, KHAZANAH and other government agencies are a very good platform in building the nation and also corporation that can compete in global stage. Therefore, I believe that when PR is in power, they will still maintain all these corporations and in fact will enhance its capabilities by eliminating all unproductive measures and corruptions in these organisations which will immediately increase their competitive level.

3. According to the recent crude oil price of USD102.73 per barrel, our petrol price should be selling at RM2.00 per litre without any subsidy given. That is already 21% lower than the current price. BTW, Anwar has repeatedly claimed that he can bring the petrol price lower by RM0.70 the next day he is in power. Logically, of course he can. If the market price should be at RM2.00 without subsidy, he only need to subsidise another RM0.15 which half of what the current government claim they are subsidising. The reduction of RM0.70 is already more than 27% than the current price which at least will help to reduce current people’s burden.

4. If the country’s resources are being managed well, it is beyond any reasonable doubts that all these cannot be provided. But due to the “ketirisan dan kebocoran” in this management, we are the one left to bear the sufferings. The monkeys up there didn’t even scratch of itchiness.

It is really up to us now whether we want to stick to this sinking ship or to move on to the more prospectable captain in leading us through braving the vicious storm ahead.

Brilliant piece of work...!!

Just wanna share this brilliant piece from blog.kavilan.com... Says it all... "The Racist UMNO is actually being funded by the long time dead Hitler"....!!! Hahahahahaha... So obsolete.. UMNO is irrelevant to this country...!!



Enjoy!!!

I Still Believe.....!!!

Finally, the most anticipated day of all time has passed without anything very significant happened. I can accept Anwar's explanation that this is due to their desire to have the power transition in a peaceful manner. But I do believe that not many of us can accept that reason as they are not concerned with peaceful power transition as they can't contain themselves with the current government anymore.

Another development is that this gives a longer window for the current government to act against Anwar. During the limited period after Anwar announced the dateline for the power coup, they had done many terrible, questionable and unanswerable things and taken so many foolish and plain stupid actions.

Another issue would be the deterioration of people's support towards Anwar as the government propagade further regarding Anwar's failure to topple them on time. Fence sitters, who don't really think much about the relevance of peaceful power transition will definitely eat all they can from BN words. They are most probably truly think that Anwar doesn't have the names and the numbers as yet or else he would have announced it already.

For those who favour Anwar more (say around 70% to Anwar's side) will become 50-50 as their belief has also deteriorate.

As for me, my confidence level may have been down a little bit but my hope is still very much the same. Reading the news makes me hate the government more. I really hope that Anwar's plan is really because he's concern about national security and not just any political gimmick. I do still believe in him.

Are we so stupid...???? HHHmmmm...!!

Today's The Star article about Zaid Ibrahim's resignation, I republish here;

PM rejects Zaid Ibrahim's resignation letter
KUALA LUMPUR: De facto Law Minister Senator Datuk Zaid Ibrahim submitted his resignation letter to the Prime Minister on Monday but it was rejected.
In his letter, Zaid enumerated his frustrations in achieving the reforms he had been tasked with doing; the straw that broke the his back was the arrest of three civilians under the Internal Security Act on Friday.
It's goodbye, at least for two weeks: Zaid waving after a briefing session with the media at his office. He has been told by Abdullah to go on leave. — Bernama
Zaid — who was unsuccessful in meeting Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi earlier — tendered his letter of resignation as minister to the Prime Minister’s office before 2pm yesterday.
However, he was later called to a meeting at Seri Perdana with Abdullah from 3pm to 5pm.
At the meeting, the Prime Minister rejected his letter and told him to take two weeks’ leave instead.
In Kuala Terengganu, Abdullah confirmed receiving Zaid’s letter but declined to give further details as he had yet to see the letter.
It is not known whether Zaid has changed his mind but he has called for a press conference today.

Can anybody see anything weird reading this article? Can anybody see how stupid is the no 1? Or since it is so obvious maybe it was spinned by the media? Let me tell you....;

Can you see any conflicting matter stated in yellow paragraph and red paragraph?

Yes...!! The premier told reporter in Terengganu that he has yet to see the letter but he already rejected the letter during the meeting at Seri Perdana.. Hhhmmm...

Have you ever took any action just based on reports to you that somebody sent you a letter accusing you of thievery or you will have a look at the letter first then only you meet that bugger and talk to him??? I dunno know but my conscience told me that if I were in his position, I'll definitely read the letter first so that I know the reason of him resigning so maybe I have the chance to change his mind based on what he wrote in the letter...

Are we so stupid or Pak Lah is such a liar???

D-Day...

Today is the day... Anwar announced last night that today he will reveal all 30 crossovers. But before that he'll meet Pak Lah 1st for smooth transition.

We'll see... I'm waiting eagerly for any announcement.. Unfortunate that at this very day I've to be in Kuching not in KL.. If not I'll rally along with them for the sake of Malays and Malaysia. UMNO is no longer relevant. You're better off dead rather than living sucking peoples' blood like vampire and pathetically using Malay Supremacy agenda to hide your sick activities...

UMNO can get lost...!!

Let the candles be lit....!!!

To all the victims of draconian law ISA...!!!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We lit this candle to tell you that we're with you, we're suffering just like you (mentally) and we hate the bastards just like you... Be strong as we believe the saviour is on his way... Be cool as it won't last 60 days as they claimed it to be... If it is within our strength, we will take care of your family so that nothing will harm them during your absence, we will visit you every single moment that we're able to, just like what your family would do... As we're also your family..

Rest assured... We'll fight for you...!!! This time will be real loud..!!

PASUMNO....????!!!!

Masya-Allah....!!!

Aku memang tak percaya bila baca blog Husam Musa tadi. I just couldn't get my mind to accept it. If Papa still alive, I'm very sure that he will be very upset knowing that 2 of his best friends, Mustafa Ali and W Mutalib Embong, involve in the talk between PAS and Pak Lah in establishing PASUMNO alliance...

I somehow can sense something fishy when before the March GE, Mustafa's elder brother, Zakaria, who were bedded next to Papa during one of his hospitalised encounter, joined UMNO and big advert boards in KT displayed this all over town. I couldn't help myself but thinking why in the name of the religion these people have the desire to be together with the corrupted UMNO? Is it because of $$$$$$ and power??? Seems definite, isn't it?

Please Tuan Guru Nik Aziz...!!! You're the only one that can save this from happenning. Dato' Husam and Dato' KJ, please with all your might, rally behind TGNA for this. Wallahu A'lam...

Desperados....!!!

The nation is in distress and I believe this is the right way to demonstrate that we're in grave danger:-

The UMNO leaders are now desperate in protecting themselves at the helm. O God the Almighty.. What's going to happen to this beloved land? Why are the leaders so corrupted and will do everything just to maintain their corrupted income.

They've started with lying to the whole national about a lot of hanky-pankys going around the government especially in business dealings. They have to continue lying or else their arse will be sodomised.

The detention of RPK, Teresa and the chinese reporter really indicates that they are very desperate and bluntly stupid or maybe they thought they are clever and the people are stupid. Yes, they are right but not on the sane lot of people. It only applies to the UMNO people. They are stupid and since they are living in denials, they will definitely endorse this action taken by their sleepyhead and murderer leader.

My prayers are with all of you, the ISA detainees...!!
