MIC S'gor desak BN calon Palanivel
Apr 14, 10 1:23pm

Ketua 18 bahagian MIC di Selangor hari ini tampil mendesak pucuk pimpinan BN supaya mengesahkan pemilihan Datuk G Palanivel sebagai calon pilihan raya kecil parlimen Hulu Selangor, sepertimana yang diperakukan oleh presiden MIC, Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu.

Bercakap dalam satu sidang akhbar di ibupejabat MIC di ibunegara, wakil kumpulan tersebut, A Saktivel yang juga ketua MIC Puchong, berkata kesefakatan BN menyatakan bahawa pengerusi BN mesti menerima siapa sahaja calon yang dipilih oleh pemimpin parti komponennya.

MIC mempunyai 22 bahagian di Selangor.

Saktivel yang juga anggota jawatankuasa kerja pusat MIC berkata, tidak pernah berlaku dalam sejarah di mana calon yang tidak dipilih oleh presiden parti, diletak bertanding.

Timbalan pengerusi BN, Tan seri Muhyiddin Yassin akan mengumumkan calon BN Khamis ini.

Selain Palanivel, satu lagi nama yang disebut-sebut disokong oleh Umno untuk dicalonkan bertanding di Hulu Selangor ialah timbalan ketua Pemuda MIC, V Mugilan.

Difahamkan sewaktu mesyuarat jawatankuasa pengurusan BN Isnin lalu, para pemimpin MIC telah menyuara bantahan mereka dan bertegas supaya Palanivel yang juga timbalan presiden MIC, dicalonkan bertanding di Hulu Selangor.

Difahamkan juga, timbul kebimbangan sekirannya berlaku sebaliknya, ia akan menjadi ikutan di mana Umno sebagai parti tunggak BN, akan terus campurtangan dalam halehwal parti komponen yang lain.

Saktivel berkata, sidang akhbar hari ini diadakan ekoran khabar angin yang semakin kuat bahawa Palanivel mungkin tidak dicalonkan.

Sehubungan itu, katanya, mereka tidak mahu seseorang itu dicalonkan bertanding di situ mengikut 'pintu belakang'.

Ini, katanya, adalah mengenai soal maruah parti.

Saktivel kemudiannya mengemukakan salinan surat beranak Mugilan dan mendakwa timbalan ketua pemuda MIC itu bukan 'anak tempatan' kerana dokumen itu menyatakan dia dilahirkan di Pantai Remis, Perak.

Sebaliknya, kata Saktivel, Palanivel sudah menetapkan di Hulu Selangor sejak 18 lalu.

Zahid: Our submarine can’t dive
NEWS/COMMENTARIES Thursday, 11 February 2010 Super Admin

(AFP) - Malaysia’s first submarine, a European-made Scorpene delivered last September, has developed problems that make it unfit for diving, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said today.
The KD Tunku Abdul Rahman sailed into a grand reception last year as the first of two commissioned from French contractor DCNS and Spain’s Navantia for a total of 3.4 billion ringgit. Named after the country’s first prime minister, it was hailed as an important acquisition despite opposition allegations of corruption in the deal.
"The submarine can still dive but when we detected the defects, we were advised that it should not dive," Zahid told reporters."The (parts found with) defects are still under warranty so the supplier and contractor are repairing them," he added. Navy chief Abdul Aziz Jaafar said a problem first emerged in the submarine’s cooling system last December. After being fixed, another defect was identified in a different system last month."We hope it can dive again after February 18, so we can carry out the tropical water trials," Abdul Aziz told reporters.The navy chief said the second submarine, the KD Tun Razak which is named after the nation’s second premier, is expected to arrive from France on May 31. It was originally scheduled for delivery in late 2009.The two submarines have attracted controversy since the deal was signed in 2002.Malaysia’s opposition claims that a 540-million-ringgit commission was paid to a close associate of Prime Minister Najib Razak in brokering the contract.
Najib has denied there was any corruption in the deal, which was made when he was defence minister.

“I am not supporting Nasir Safar at all! I am not supporting what he said. Let me just put it this way — there is a right forum to talk about Malay interests, and what Nasir Safar did was not right, talking like that in public.“If it was discussed behind a closed door session, its normal, but he said it outside... what he said was not right,” said Rauf, who used to be the Umno Youth assistant secretary.He also maintained that Umno is essentially a Malay party, therefore it was an acceptable practice for Umno to talk about “Malay interests”.

Reject racism

The Time to change....PRK Mantin

The people have been urged to reject racism where power is held based on “skin colour”, PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
He said Pakatan Rakyat needed to steer clear from the ‘racism cocoon’ created by shallow-minded people.
“I suggest the Chinese, Indians, Ibans and Kadazans destroy this racist mentality. We need to uphold the principle of brotherhood of mankind,” Anwar said in his keynote address to 1,500 of Pakatan delegates at Wisma MBSA here today in the first ever Pakatan convention.
A total of 500 delegates from each component party of Pakatan attended. Anwar said Pakatan could have not won big in the last general election had they “stuck to the archaic spirit of racism and turn its back on justice.”
“There is a newfound confidence from the young generation of various races in Pakatan. And because of this confidence, we based our principle on which we are presenting today at this convention,” he said.
Meanwhile, PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, in his speech, urged Pakatan to look into its own weaknesses that gave the opportunity for others to exploit.
He added that the political crisis in Perak should be a lesson learnt for Pakatan.
“Don’t simply choose candidates without being realistic,” said Abdul Hadi, referring to the three former Pakatan assemblymen who jumped ship and became independent.
He said Pakatan must be united even if there were differences in opinion in issues.
“Let us prioritise and work on issues that we agree on. Take time and be patient in discussing issues with differing opinions.
“Today we are discussing our plan to face the next general election,” he said.

Dasar bersama Pakatan sasar Putrajaya
Dis 19, 09 1:00pm
Pakatan Rakyat mempertingkatkan usahanya untuk menguasai Putrajaya dengan mengumumkan dasar bersama Pakatan yang menjanjikan pembaharuan segera dan kesaksamaan.Sebagai respons kepada musuh politiknya, Barisan Nasional, dasar bersama itu berjanji untuk mengurangkan dasar-dasar yang berasaskan kaum dan menggubal akta hubungan kaum dan akta peluang saksama serta dasar-dasar lain yang berasaskan merit seperti pemberian biasiswa kerajaan.

Ia turut menjanjikan layanan istimewa kepada Sabah dan Sarawak - di mana pengaruh Pakatan tidak kuat - dengan menjanjikan akses kepada royalti minyak serta berjanji untuk menyelesaikan masalah-masalah yang sudah lama berlanjutan.Pakatan juga berjanji untuk menubuhkan suruhanjaya diraja untuk menyelesaikan isu-isu membabitkan isu pendatang haram, yang didakwanya tidak diberi perhatian oleh kerajaan pusat.Sokongan kuat dari dua negeri Malaysia Timur itu amat penting dalam usaha Pakatan untuk menguasai Putrajaya dalam pilihanraya umum kerana satu perempat jumlah kerusi parlimen adalah dari sana.Pakatan juga berjanji untuk menangani isu-isu agama yang selama ini telah menimbulkan pergeseran antara parti Islam PAS dan parti sekular DAP.
Di samping itu, Pakatan juga berjanji untuk mewujudkan satu mekanisme yang komprehensif untuk menangani kes-kes di mana berlaku bertindihan antara undang-undang sivil dan Syariah.Untuk tujuan itu, sebuah suruhanjaya diraja akan ditubuhkan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam isu-isu yang berkaitan dengannya.
Agihan ekonomi negeriDi peringkat institusi pula, Pakatan berjanji untuk memastikan kebebasan dan ketelusan sepenuhnya Suruhanjaya Pelantikan Kehakiman bagi memulihkan keyakinan rakyat terhasdap sistem kehakiman.Pembaharuan lain yang dijanjikan termasuk menjadikan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya (SPR), Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM), Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia Malaysia (Suhakam), Petronas dan institusi-institusi kerajaan yang lain dipertanggungjawabkan terus kepada Parlimen.
Ini termasuk mendapatkan kelulusan Parlimen bagi pelantikan jawatan penting kerajaan seperti ketua polis negara, peguam negara, pesuruhjaya SPRM dan ketua audit negara.Mengenai ekonomi, Pakatan bercadang mendesentralisasikan pengurusan ekonomi negara bagi meningkatkan kecekapan, produktiviti dan taburan pembangunan yang seimbang.Cadangan ini termasuk pengagihan kuasa pentadbiran dan ekonomi dan pelaksanaan kerja-kerja infrastruktur kepada kerajaan negeri.
Dasar Pakatan Rakyat itu merangkumi empat perkara, iaitu demokrasi telus dan tulen; memacu ekonomi berprestasi tinggi, mampan dan adil; keadilan sosial dan pembangunan insan; dan hubungan persekutuan-negeri dan dasr luar negara.

DSAI's view on Islam to US

2009-10-08T01:32:00.000-07:00

The Time to change....PRK Mantin....
AFP – October 7, 2009
WASHINGTON — Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim offered some insight for the United States on dealing with the Muslim world: highlight successes, fund education, and do not fear openly debating radicals.
But Anwar said that Muslim nations must also initiate reforms in response to US President Barack Obama’s landmark June 4 speech in Cairo extending a hand to the Islamic world.
“Reform and democracy are critical to the Muslim world,” Anwar, whose opposition alliance posted its best-ever performance last year, said at the Brookings Institution on Tuesday, a Washington think-tank.
US officials should highlight the positives in the Muslim world, Anwar said.
He pointed to progress in Muslim-majority democracies such as Indonesia and Turkey and said the West largely ignored the wide condemnation by even the most conservative Muslim clerics of July suicide bombings at Jakarta luxury hotels.
The West should also be careful with labeling Muslims, he said.
“I pray, I fast, I don’t drink… am I a fundamentalist? I don’t know,” Anwar said.
He said that aspects of Islamic Sharia law can be tolerated as long as they do not curtail human rights or discriminate against women.
Anwar said media coverage focused on radicals’ actions only encouraged them. Instead, they should be allowed to speak, he said.
“You deal with them through education and a free media,” he said. “My honest view is that the fringe, fanatical elements cannot stand to reason.”
As for the US role, Anwar said an investment in training math, English and computer science teachers could have tremendous influence in places like Pakistan in quieting the more radical voices.
The US Congress last week approved a five-year, 7.5 billion-dollar aid package for Pakistan, a frontline nation in Obama’s campaign against Islamic extremism.
Anwar’s three-party alliance, which brings aboard conservative Muslims and liberal Chinese, won a third of parliamentary seats last year and is vying to unseat the Barisan Nasional coalition that has ruled Malaysia for half a century.
Anwar was sacked as deputy premier in 1998 and jailed for six years on sodomy and corruption charges after he challenged veteran ruler Mahathir Mohamad. The charges were overturned, but revived following the last election.
A 2008 survey found just 11 percent of Malaysians believed the sodomy accusations.

The beautiful Malay
September 7, 2009

Marina Mahathir had a posting entitled “The Ugly Malay” up two days ago.
She was referring to the uncouth, uncivilised behaviour of the same ‘cow head’ protestors who made their way to the Selangor state government dialogue last Saturday, hijacked the same and allowed no room whatsoever for the voices of reason from within the section 23 community to be heard.
More of my thoughts on that dialogue in another post.
Here, I want to share with you about a little gathering last Friday in Shah Alam that, for me, at least, put on display all that is beautiful about our people.
Including the Malays.
It will help us to take heart that the ugly Malay that Marina spoke of and that we all have had to painfully witness is not your typical Malay.
On Thursday last week, I received the following e-mail from a Malay friend.
“We are very concerned about last week’s protest against the construction of a Hindu temple through cow heads. As individuals we are very disturbed by this and the implications it has on the unity of Malaysia. We are therefore inviting our Muslim friends and colleagues to join us in an attempt to show our solidarity to the Hindu community in Shah Alam and our refusal to allow these provocative and disgraceful acts to be done in the name of Islam. Please join us this Friday,the 4th of September, 8:30 pm in front of the De Palma Inn Hotel in Shah Alam where we will be picked up by someone from the temple to take us there”.
Take us where?
To the temple in section 19, Shah Alam. The temple that was proposed to be re-located to section 23. The temple that sits in the eye of the controversy.
Jaya, Robert, Danny and I set out for the De Palma hotel on Friday evening. Dominic and Chin Huat were going to get there on their own.
We were all at the temple a little after 9pm.
Bearing flowers and fruit that Mas and friends had put together, we were greeted by temple committee members and welcomed into the temple even as prayers were going on.

Jaya leading the way
Very quickly, I made two new friends.

Ramesh serves on the temple committee

I asked Lechumanan if I could take photos within the temple and he helpfully took me on a quick tour to the inner rooms where the deities were housed

Lechu mentioned the names of the deities but, except for one, I can;t remember the others. Sorry, Lechu

This, I think, is Lord Ganapathy, sometimes also called Lord Ganesha. If I'm wrong, forgive me, folks

Prayers were underway so we sat on the floor and joined the congregation.

Food, Not Bombs activists at the back. Chiin Huat in front

If I remember correctly, Joanna on the extreme left whilst Hafizi is on the far right. Didn't get the names of the two ladies in the middle. Slacking in my old age

Another Food, Not Bombs activist

Mas on the right
As the prayers proceeded, temple committee member Selva and Shah Alam local councillor Uthayasoorian
shared with us the problems that the devotees faced.

Temple committee member Selva

Local councillor Uthayasoorian
The issue of relocating the temple has been hanging over their heads for almost two decades.
If special prayers to be held might draw a larger than usual crowd, a police permit must be sought.
A police permit to pray?
They are not permitted to effect repairs to the temple floor, although some parts clearly could do with some repair.
Ramesh pointed out to me a zinc fencing next to the temple.

“The area now fenced in used to be an open space where devotees could park their cars when they come for prayers. In December last year, Pewaris came and fenced off the open space, so that devotees now have no place to park.”, he said
Chin Huat made a lovely suggestion that given that it was the holy month of Ramadhan, how about picking a day where the Hindus could also fast and then host a buka puasa of vegetarian food so that more Muslims who wanted to share fellowship with their Hindu brothers and sisters could come and buka puasa at the temple.
Mas told me today that she will liaise with Selva and see if Chin Huat’s suggestion might be taken up.
After the prayers, we mingled with some of the not-so-shy devotees.

Fellowship after the prayers

More fellowship
Before we left the temple, we got together for a group photo.

Danny's behind the camera. Some were camera-shy. 6 non-Muslims. One not sure. The rest Muslim
Outside the temple, someone spotted a Pewaris signboard just outside the fenced-ff area that Ramesh had alluded to and thought that this would be an ideal place to hold a peaceful demo.

There is hope yet for our country.

Wawasan 2020

2009-09-07T04:52:00.000-07:00

If you think we had develop enough.... read below... then decide

The Time to change....PRK Mantin

Vision 2020 ...not bloody likely !!
Mahathir unveiled the Vision of 2020 plan for Malaysia in 1991. Malaysia was to become an industrialized nation and be considered a high-income economy. Najib refined (that is double speak to mean ‘no can do lah’) that vision:  “It is clear that our Vision 2020 objective has to be refined to remain viable,” Najib said. “Being richer alone does not define a developed nation. There are important social and quality-of-life measurements that must be factored in when considering our objectives and successes.” Malaysia needs to “redefine and recalibrate” how and when it will achieve Vision 2020, Najib told reporters after the speech. That doesn’t necessarily mean a change in the timeline, he said.  
I would have agreed with him in principal had he not put in the “that does not necessarily mean a change in the timeline” proviso. I am no economist but let us just use common sense to look at realities.
Let us look at the differences between salaries earned, the cost of a vehicle and a house between 1973 and 2009.
YEAR

1973
1.3 liter Japanese Car 7,000
Double Story House 45,000
Engineer Salary 1,000
2009
1.3 liter japanese car 45,000
Double stoty house 300,000
Engineer Salary 2,000

It is the same story when you compare salaries of shop assistants, office staff, factory workers and a whole range of other workers and professional. I have used these 3 items a house, a car and salary earned as a measurement of the country' s performance for the past 35 years to gauge our standard of living. There is little difference in salary between 1973 and 2009 – and yet our purchasing power is vastly different. While the starting income for a newly graduated Engineer between 1973 to 2009 has only doubled – the cost of a car has increase 8.6 times and that of a house 6.6 times.
Fast forward to today.
Ask the kids working at McDonald how much they were being paid per hour?  RM 3.00 per hour x 8 hours = RM 24 per day. Working 25 days a month means they get RM 600 per month.  
In Australia my daughter works part-time during her University days at Gloria Jeans Coffee. She is paid  Aud$14.00 per hour x 8 hours a day = Aud$112 a day x 25 days = Aud$2,800 per month.
(@ RM2.92 per = One Aud Dollar x Aud$2800 = RM$8176 per month).
My daughter earns 13.6 times more that the girl at McDonalds in Malaysia.
 Our Government lays claim to the fact that Malaysia will be a developed country 2020? A high income country? Let us look further.

2005 Financial Times Figures

GNP per Capita in US Dollars.

USA US35,400

United Kingdom US$25,510

Singapore US$20,690

Australia US$19,530

Malaysia US$3,540

The above figures are the 2005 Financial Times figures for GNP per Capita in US Dollars – a measurement of developed country by income measurements.
Malaysia’s GNP per Capita US$3540. Malaysia a developed country by 2020? Not likely. This is a really sad story and a worrying trend is it not?
The Ringgit is sliding further and further under Barisan Nasional.   To compound the effect of inflation, the Ringgit has depreciated  greatly against ALL major currencies. The real income of most  Malaysians has moved backwards.   This is why many Malaysians suffer under the petrol hike. The root of the problem is that our real incomes have shrunk in the face of  inflation and a depreciated currency. Malaysians have not been spoiled by subsidy but are unable to move out of the time lock of stagnated and depreciated incomes.   If you compare the per capita incomes of Singapore, Hong Kong , Taiwan and South Korea they are a few multiples of ours although at independence all these countries were on the same economic level as Malaysia .  
What has gone wrong? Were we not once the rising star of East Asia? A country rich in natural resources with the most promising potential ?  
What happened?
Massive Corruption for one! Plundering of our precious resources, wastage of funds for huge non-economic projects, anti-public interest deals with politically-linked companies and passing-of-the -buck to the man in the street. I repeat - passing of the buck to the man on the streets! 
Four decades of a mismanaged NEP where education, economic and employment policies defined by race without the necessary checks and balances ensured that meritocracy took a back seat.
  Our university standard has declined and today our best and brightest youths emigrate to escape the racial inequality and instead now contribute to the economies of foreign lands. 
 The reputation of our judiciary which was once held in high esteem worldwide has sunk so low that foreign investors now insist on arbitration in Singapore in case of any dispute.
  We also have a slew of oppressive laws such as the ISA, OSA, University and University Colleges Act and Printing Presses and Publications Act (PPPA) which all stifle free speech and are designed to keep the ruling parties in power.
  We have become less attractive to foreign investors and now lag behind our neighbors in Asean for foreign direct investment. Even some corporations who have established themselves here are moving out.   All the economic and social malaise cannot help but affect the value of our currency. The strength of a country's currency is after all, a reflection of its fundamentals.   Furthermore, Bank Negara has a policy of a weak Ringgit to help  exporters - never mind the burden on the common folk. The government is pro-corporation, not pro-Rakyat.
  While the poor and middle-class are squeezed, an elite group gets  breathtakingly rich. We have the distinction of having the worse  income disparity in Asean. A re-distribution of wealth is under way  from the poor and middle-class to a select group of politically-connected elite.   The end result of this re-distribution will be a small group of super-rich while the majority are pushed into poverty and the middle-class shrinks. This is what happens when the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer. 
 There is much that is wrong with Malaysia. The responsibility for  pulling the country backwards can be laid squarely at the door of the ruling regime – Barisan Nasional. It is BN's mis-governance, racial politics and culture of patronage and greed which has seen the country regress economically and socially.   We seem to be sliding down a slippery slope, further down with each passing year of BN's rule. Another five years of BN rule and we'll be at Indonesia 's standard under Suharto. Another 10 years and we'll be touching the African standard.. What a way to greet 2020.   Is there any hope for Malaysia ?  
Faced with the reality that BN will never change, many Malaysians desperate for change turn their eyes to Pakatan Rakyat.
Pakatan Raykat has promised to treat all races fairly, to plug wastage, fight corruption, reform the judiciary and make Malaysia more competitive.   But some have questioned whether we can trust Anwar Ibrahim and his loose coalition of disparate parties..  The question is not whether we can trust the opposition but whether we can afford not to in view of our state of affairs.

Malaysian Chinese have made great sacrifices

Zaid: Chinese Malaysians Have Made Great Sacrifices
News
Headlines 2008-10-04 14:53

KUALA LUMPUR: Former minister in the prime minister's department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said true Malays need not be afraid, or feel lack of a sense of security.
"Take myself as an example. I'm a pure Malay, but I have a sense of security. I feel proud of my own race and culture."
However he said, the problem is that many people do not understand or respect history. Indians, Chinese and Malays have been participating in the nation-building process since a few centuries ago. The Indians used to work in the estates, while the Chinese and Indonesians have all made valuable contributions and sacrifices for the nation too. But we have all forgotten this.
Zaid Ibrahim quit his Cabinet post because he did not agree to the government's decision of detaining civilians under the Internal Security Act (ISA).
He said during an exclusive interview with Sin Chew Daily that the Chinese used to work here as miners, and they made great sacrifices during the confrontation with the communists, adding that we must understand history and what they have done for the nation.
"The rights of every individual must be respected and taken care of by everyone else."
"We are only talking about Malaysia as the 19th largest export country in the world, and that we have the twin towers and are a developed country... Do you think we have done all this ourselves? You're wrong. This achievement has been made after so many people from different ethnic groups have sacrificed for the nation.
"We are not talking about the positive things, but instead discussing how we should get worried because the Chinese have opened how many more new stores here.
"As a matter of fact, the first feeling we should have is not about worry. We should work harder to keep up with them instead.
"I've never been worried about the Chinese. In my legal firm, my partner is a Chinese, and we trust each other. Do you think I have built up my success all on my own?
"I'm not scared that the Chinese are smart, for I'm also very smart. I'm not scared that the Chinese are hard working, for I'm also very hard working. We have bad guys in every ethnic group, and you're cheated simply because you're not smart enough. We must educate young Malaysians to look at things from a positive perspective."
Zaid said certain people have kept on mentioning May 13 to blackmail the people. However he felt that given our current situation, this thing would never happen again.
"I am thinking, for a better future, all Malaysians should stand up and speak out bravely. The Chinese must defend the rights of the Malays, and the Malays must also defend the rights of the Chinese. Everyone must be properly taken care of here."
He felt that we should not rely on a single political party to take care of a particular community. It should be that the rights of every individual must be respected and taken care of by everyone else. (By HOU YALUN/Translated by DOMINIC LOH/Sin Chew Daily)

What man, Vell, we haven’t heard much lately about all the MIC re-branding business. How come the MIC has not been busy putting out more propaganda of late?

I suppose with all the mess and debacle that this the trademark of your father’s organisation, the turmoil between Palanivel, Subramanian, and Sothinathan must make it feel like it’s business as usual over there in Samyland, ya?
What excellent news.
For a while there I was getting worried that maybe things at the MIC might actually begin to somewhat work.
Just imagine how strange that would have been – and what a shock for the vast majority of us that would be too! Well, you know, seeing that maybe your father could actually work with others in truly constructive ways – especially when he tried to make peace again with Subra – made me wonder:
What is wrong?
This makes absolutely no sense! It contradicts everything we know about Samyland. But what a relief it turned out to be to hear that your father was back to his old self again. I say man, for a while there he had me worried that maybe the self-destruct mechanism at the MIC was starting to malfunction.
Imagine, ah…how unfortunate would we all be if that were to happen:
The only dependable thing there, which we’ve become so accustomed to, and that also was at risk of failing.

Only in Malaysia
Only in Malaysia could a case of alleged domestic violence, spousal abuse, and potential forced sexual abuse be considered ‘a private matter.’ Of course the reason why this may be deemed so by some is a whole different matter which we need no get into. Suffice it to say that our politicians have a tendency to think the average citizens are truly morons.

Only in Malaysia could racist oriented parties such as MCA and MIC, which have been complicit, and condoned and affirmed racist policies and quotas, have the audacity to challenge genuinely secular and non-racist parties such as DAP to explain themselves for aligning with a party like PAS. Yes, it is another one of those examples where these MCA and MIC politicians take us for morons.What baffles me is why exactly does the MCA or MIC - after having sat back and given in to every racist program put forth by Umno – think they have any credibility to question the credentials of DAP as a non-racist and secular party. But then again, this is Malaysia.

Only in Malaysia can people holding a peaceful candlelight vigil get arrested and manhandled for illegal assembly, while a racist, illegal mob is allowed to shout down a peaceful legal forum and allowed to threaten to storm the Bar Council to interrupt a lawful gathering.

Only in Malaysia can a citizen be denied his rights because of his past communist activities but our politicians can have warm cozy diplomatic relations with the very communist country touted to be behind the past communist insurgency activities which afflicted us.

Only in Malaysia will we find that a government mouthpiece can publish various outlandish and racist remarks in its publication and merely receive an admonishing from the regime, while those who speak for equality and fairness are charged for being seditious. The powers that be must truly have convinced themselves that we the rakyat are indeed morons.

Only in Malaysia will you find our politicians preaching excellence in higher education, and international competitiveness of our industries and work force, but doing just about everything conceivable to undermine the importance of the English language. Well, the irony, in this respect, is that in the process of undermining our citizens’ grasp of the English language, we find it quite agreeable to nonetheless bastardize all sorts of English words in order to create Malay words where they were once non-existent. Perhaps you’ve heard of the old saying: Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Only in Malaysia can people talk of 1Malaysia while they practice apartheid.

Aiyoo, gua tak mau ingat lagi la.

Penjelasan Isu Kuil Di Seksyen 23 Shah Alam

Penjelasan Isu Kuil Di Seksyen 23 Shah Alam
Tapak Kuil Seksyen 23 Shah Alam - Baru-baru ini, banyak betul yang kita dengar berhubung isu tapak kuil yang dicadangkan di Seksyen 23, Shah Alam. Yang tahu, yang tak tahu dan yang buat-buat tahu, semuanya turut sama mengemukakan pandangan masing-masing. Di antaranya, pandangan Noh Omar yang menyatakan bagaimana kerajaan PR tidak peka terhadap sensitiviti umat Islam.Oleh itu, bagi mereka yang ingin tahu, izinkan saya menceritakan serba sedikit perkara sebenar berkenaan isu ini. Tapak Kuil yang dicadangkan adalah di kawasan Industri, lebih 200 meter dari kawasan perumahan. Sebuah Kuil yang sekarang ini berada di Seksyen 19 akan dipindahkan ke tapak baru yang dicadangkan ini. Di Seksyen 19, kuil berkenaan hanya berjarak 20 kaki dari kawasan perumahan! Buka pintu rumah, seberang jalan terdapat kuil.Sebenarnya, kuil Seksyen 19 telah berada di situ sejak zaman sebelum wujudnya Shah Alam lagi. Pada masa itu kawasan di mana kuil tersebut dibina dinamakan Ladang Sungai Renggam. Apabila PKNS ambil-alih, maka dijadikan kawasan perumahan. Semasa membina dan menjual rumah-rumah di Seksyen 19, PKNS tidak menunjukkan kuil tersebut di dalam pelan mereka. Sebaliknya yang ditunjuk adalah rumah-rumah teres dua tingkat.Maka, para pembeli rumah sekitar kuil tersebut, 80% dari mereka yang merupakan orang Melayu Islam pun terperanjatlah apabila berpindah ke rumah baru mereka dan mendapati kuil masih berada di situ. Sedangkan mereka diberitahu bahawa kuil tersebut akan dipindahkan. Malangnya, PKNS di bawah pemerintahan Kerajaan Negeri UMNO/BN, tidak menunaikan janji mereka dan tidak juga bertanggung-jawab dalam soal ini. Kalau diusahakan pada ketika itu, masih terdapat banyak kawasan lapang, maka perancangan yang lebih sesuai dan tepat dapat dilaksanakan.Seperti yang diduga dan sepertimana biasa, kerajaan BN tidak melakukan apa-apa. Penduduk terpaksa bersabar selama 26 tahun, menagih janji dari PKNS dan kerajaan BN Selangor, sehinggalah naiknya kerajaan PR. Kami mengusahakan dengan serius dan bersungguh-sungguh sehingga terhasilnya cadangan kuil Seksyen 19 dipindahkan ke Seksyen 23.Sepatutnya Noh Omar mencerminkan diri sebelum mengeluarkan pendapatnya. Takut-takut meludah ke langit, terjatuh ke muka sendiri. Siap dengan kahak lagi! Sekiranya tapak di Seksyen 23 mahu dikatakan tidak peka dan tidak sensitif, kedudukan di Seksyen 19 mahu dipanggil apa? Mendera? Menyeksa? ataupun derhaka?Kalau ikut kehendak masyarakat Hindu yang juga merupakan rakyat negeri ini, mereka ingin kuil tersebut kekal sahaja di situ. “Inilah tapak asal kami, sepatutnya PKNS mengambil kira kehadiran kuil kami di sini semasa merancang pembangunan kawasan Shah Alam”, kata mereka. Tetapi apa boleh buat, nasi sudah pun menjadi bubur, mereka amat menyesal mengundi BN sejak dari dulu lagi. Akhirnya hasil perbincangan yang waras, mereka sanggup bertolak ansur. Sanggup berpindah, asalkan tidak terlalu jauh. Kuil ini dikunjungi penganut Hindu dari Seksyen 19, 20 dan 23.Oleh itu, PKNS ditugaskan untuk mencari tempat yang sesuai. Tapak yang dicadangkan adalah seperti yang dinyatakan. Cadangan dikemukakan kepada MBSA dan seterusnya kepada Exco kerajaan Negeri. Semua menganggap ianya sesuai dan masalah di Seksyen 19 di mana suasana diperhangatkan oleh NGO Melayu/UMNO seperti Pewaris, perlu diselesaikan dengan segera.Ini yang perlu kita perlu fahami. Tapak di Seksyen 23 bukan untuk kuil baru. Ianya adalah untuk memindahkan kuil yang sedia ada di Seksyen 19. Kedudukannya tidak terlalu hampir dengan kawasan perumahan, di mana terdapat Dewan orang ramai dan juga sebuah padang permainan di antara tapak kuil tersebut dengan kawasan perumahan. Ianya merupakan kawasan Industri. Kalau kilang boleh diletakkan di situ tanpa sebarang bantahan dari penduduk, mengapa tidak kuil? Sedangkan jarak kawasan Industri dari perumahan sudah mengambil kira terlebih dahulu semua aspek yang wajar dipertimbangkan.Saya faham ada yang ingin mempolitikkan isu ini. Memang suku sakat Ketua Bahagian UMNO duduk di situ. Saya rasa Najib kena ‘mendidik’ ahli UMNO. Kikis semangat perkauman yang sempit yang diasaskan selama ini. Adakah beliau mampu lakukannya? Adakah beliau ingin lakukannya? Najib ke Batu Caves dengan begitu gah ceria, 1Malaysia katanya. Kita ingin lihat sejauh mana falsafah Najib difahami ahli partinya sendiri atau ianya semua hanya satu sandiwara untuk mengaburi mata rakyat?Seorang penduduk Seksyen 23 memberitahu saya, “Jangan layan sangat YB, puak-puak ini, bukan sekadar kuil mereka bantah. Buat kuliyyah di Surau pun mereka bantah juga”.Wallahu 'AlamKHALID SAMADPosting terdahulu yang berkaitan : Persoalan Kuil Sek 19 & Tindakan Pewaris (10 Januari 2009)

Nilailah sendiri....

UMNO Sekarang Hanya Bergantung Kepada Agenda Perkauman
Sedar atau tidak, UMNO sekarang ini hanya mampu bergantung kepada isu-isu perkauman. Dan UMNO sekarang ini tidak putus-putus menyerang DAP. Dan mereka melakukannya dengan tiada belas kasihan.

Mengapa Serang DAP?

UMNO mahu PAS rasa serba salah dan tidak senang menyebabkan PAS akan melatah ataupun hilang rasa konfiden dan jatidiri.
Mereka kerap mengatakan bahawa DAP anti ISlam dan PAS sekarang mengikut telunjuk DAP yang anti ISlam.
UMNO mudah melakukan perkara ini kerana ada "Fraksi UMNO" dalam PAS yang tolong menyebarkan ajaran sesat ini di kalangan ahli dan kepimpinan PAS.Padahal, UMNO sendiri ada rekod anti-Islam yang lebih buruk dari DAP.
DAP hanya berkata-kata tapi UMNO melakukan perkara-perkara yang merosakkan Islam di Malaysia.

Sebagai contoh:

a. UMNO yang memperkenalkan program "Perancang Keluarga" yang telah ditentang oleh PAS satu waktu dahulu. Bukan DAP

b. UMNO yang menghapuskan tulisan jawi. Bukan DAP

c. UMNO memperkenalkan PPSMI. Bukan DAP

d. UMNO menghalang perlaksanaan hukum Hudud dan Qisas di Kelantan dan Terengganu. Bukan DAP

e. UMNO mengizinkan judi dan arak dijual untuk keuntungan yang berlipat ganda di Malaysia. Bukan DAP

f. UMNO yang terlibat di dalam pemerkosaan budak bawah umur di Melaka sehingga menyebakan Guan Eng dipenjara

g. UMNO mengizinkan kelab gay di Bukit Bendera sehinggalah DAP yang menutupnya. Kelab gay di KL masih beroperasi kerana UMNO takutkan Marina MAhathir

h. UMNO yang memperkenalkan serta menyebarkan ajaran sekularisma di kalangan orang Melayu/Islam. Bukan DAP

i. UMNO yang memecat mufti Selangor selepas mufti Selangor menyokong tindakan yang dibenci Marina MAhathir. Bukan DAP

j. UMNO yang bertanggungjawab untuk peristiwa Memali. Bukan DAP.

k. Arak dan judi diizinkan dijual untuk keuntungan di Malaysia yang mempunyai Islam sebagai agama rasmi. Sedangkan di Norway, arak tidak diizinkan untuk dijual bagi tujuan meraih keuntungan dan Islam bukan agama rasmi Norway. Bukan DAP.

l. Selama UMNO memerintah MBSA, arak dijual sewenangnya di Shah Alam. Bukan DAP.

m. UMNO balachi kepada tokeh2 judi dan arak serta kabaret di Malaysia. Bukan DAP.

o. Menangkap, berbuat kacau, merampas masjid dan surau secara zalim dan angkuh. Bukan DAP.

p. UMNO gagal membangun ekonomi orang Melayu sehingga orang Melayu hanya mengawal 18% sahaja ekuiti negara. Bukan DAP

q. UMNO gagal membangun ekonomi orang Melayu sehingga 70% perbelanjaan Rancangan Malaysia ke Lapan pergi kepada syarikat2 bukan Melayu.
Bukan DAP.
Dengan kata lain, apa bezanya UMNO berbanding DAP?
Malahan UMNO lagi teruk kerana mereka mengaku Islam dan mereka mampu meracun pemikiran orang Islam untuk menghalalkan perkara yang haram.dan banyak lagi contoh kalau saya nak bawaTujuan UMNO untuk Mengekalkan SokonganMereka takut orang Melayu akan lari dari mereka. Jelas dari 2008, orang Melayu bandar majoriti menolak UMNO.
UMNO sekarang ini berkubu di kampung-kampung di mana orang melayu masih mudah untuk ditipu kerana perjalanan maklumat yang perlahan.Jadi, demi menyelamatkan UMNO dari hilang, mereka menggunakan alasan bahaya DAP untuk menghalang orang Melayu yang sudah makin meluat dengan UMNO itu.Ertinya, majoriti sokongan kepada UMNO sekarang ini bukan sebab orang Melayu suka sangat kepada UMNO tetapi takut akan "bahaya DAP" yang diada-adakan oleh UMNO ini.Ini peluang PR untuk menjatuhkan UMNO kerana alasan "bahaya DAP" ini alasan yang tidak kukuh dan lemah.
Saya terkejut kerana ada blogger bernama Mahaguru 58 yang termakan dengan cerita-cerita dongeng UMNO berkenaan dengan DAP ini.
Orang pandai pun boleh kena tipu.
Yang bestnya, Mahaguru58 ni telah sampai ke tahap mendoakan Tok Guru Nikergabung Aziz supaya mati cepat kerana TGNA tidak bersetuju untuk bergabung dengan UMNO.Padahal dia sendiri tak sedar dia kena tipu hidup-hidup.
Dia marah kes arak di Selangor, tapi dia sikit pun tak marah UMNO keluar lesen arak dgn judi. Kes Najib lulus 10 lesen special draw yang baru, langsung dia tak komen.Memanglah MAhaguru58 dasar hipokrit dan mata duitan.Tulang Besi

'A non-Malay prime minister not improbable'

Posted by admin
Sunday, 09 August 2009 09:33
(NST) NIBONG TEBAL: Malaysia could one day have a non-Malay as Prime Minister, Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir said yesterday.
He said the Federal Constitution did not state that only a Malay could be elected to that post."What we need is for the majority of members of parliament to elect a non-Malay as prime minister and then submit the proposal to the king."The constitution allows such a change. But the Malays form the majority race in the country and hence the non-Malays should double their efforts -- as my father (former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad) urged earlier -- to increase the population to 70 million." Mukhriz said this during a 1Malaysia forum for youths here yesterday.

The event was organised by the state Unity and National Integration Department.
"Citizens in the United States have accepted a descendant from Africa as their president. They did not see him as a black or that there was an Islamic touch to his name, but they saw him as a citizen of the United States."The former prime minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra was of Chinese descent but the people accepted him as a Thai."To a question from a participant who asked if the government could remove the "race" column in application forms, Mukhriz said it was necessary in certain forms to provide benefits to Bumiputeras, but not in others. He also said the implementation of a single stream school could help the 1Malaysia vision be a success as it would nurture a sense of unity among students.This way, students of different races could mingle and interact more effectively. "It can be done, for example, by making Mandarin and Tamil languages elective subjects so that students can learn their friends' mother-tongues."It would be good if Malaysians can master Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and Tamil, thus achieving the objective of a harmonious 1Malaysia and to understand one another." To prevent students from neglecting their mother-tongue, single stream schools must make it compulsory for them to take up their mother-tongues. Mukhriz said the education system could bring all races together, through the sharing of culture and tradition, as well as prevent racial polarisation.He said the single stream school proposal was stated in the Razak Report 1956, a year before the country gained independence."Tun Abdul Razak once said he hoped the single stream school would become a reality, but after 52 years of our country's independence, it has not materialised."

The real issue behind beer-ban

The real issue behind beer-ban
When Selangor PAS Commissioner, YB Dato' Dr. Hasan Ali suggested to the state government to ban the sales of alcoholic beverages in Muslim-majority area in Selangor and even went further to suggest to drop Ronnie Liu as Exco in charge of local government, a few issues pop-up in my mind.First, how do we define "Muslim-majority" area? Are we going to base it on the percentage of Muslim voters in a Parliament or State seat? Are we going to base it instead on the percentage of Muslim residents in an area? If so, how do we define the boundary of the area as it can be a heavy task despite the fact that this can be done easily in urban areas like Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya and Shah Alam as these municipalities are divided into sections or sub-sections.Also, we have to ask how big a percentage can we use to define an as "Muslim-majority” area? Can we base it on 51%, 66%, 70% or even 90%? Can we segregate the non-Muslims from the Muslims just like how the Nazis did in Germany when they segregated the Jews from the Germans community?Second, do we understand the issue well? I have attended a few rounds of meeting with PAS Selangor leaders over the issue and it seems to me that PAS is concerned on the sales of alcoholic drinks (beers included) in 7-11 convenient stores. As you know, such convenient stores are opened 24-hour a day. This means one can easily buy beers from 7-11 outlets even after midnight. To the Muslims, this is worrying as young Muslims can easily buy and consume alcoholic beverages from 7-11 outlets and this leads to more social problems. Most of them buy alcoholic drinks around midnight.Third, though beer is an alcoholic drink, it is not considered as "arak" or "minuman keras" legally speaking. Traders who want to sell "arak" or "minuman keras" has to apply a special license from the Land Office and other rules. Whereas for beer, it is basically a "free-for-all" item, meaning that anybody can sell it anywhere they like as there is no legal provision to restrict the sales of beer.So we can summarize the problems as follow:1. The problem lies with 7-11 outlets operating 24 hours a day and selling alcoholic drinks even after midnight.2. The problem is further compounded if there are any 7-11 outlets operating in a Muslim-majority area. Most of the staffs employed at these outlets are young Muslims.3. Due to lax enforcement, sales of alcoholic drinks to Muslim customers are still happening though 7-11 has implemented several in-house rules not allowing its counter staffs selling alcoholic drinks to Muslim customers.4. There is a need to define "Muslim-majority area" and it seems that it is unlikely to be an easy task. Different people will have different interpretation.I hope this article can help everybody to better understand the issue especially our friends from PAS as it is absolutely unnecessary to make open statement on this matter before resolving it through internal channel.

Umno Youth leaders to get military-style training

Posted by admin
Sunday, 09 August 2009 18:20
(Bernama) - Umno’s training bureau will soon organise a course for Umno Youth division chiefs based on a commando-type training module, Umno vice-President Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
Ahmad Zahid, who is the bureau’s chairman, said the course would enhance resilience and competitiveness among Umno Youth leaders.
“For them to win back the young voters, they need to be resilient and this can be achieve through the commando-style training,” he told reporters after opening the Jasin Umno delegates’ meeting at the Dewan Alamanda, here today.
He said the course would be carried out by the Umno Youth movement, National Civics Bureau (Biro Tatanegara) and the Malaysia Veteran Commandos Club.
“This was the kind of course we had when Datuk Seri Najib Razak was the youth chief.
“Camaraderie needs to be instilled in today’s youths; that is why (Umno Youth Chief) Khairy Jamaluddin and his executive council members have agreed to take part in the course, to be held soon,” he said.The training bureau would also provide a course with a different module for Wanita and Puteri Umno leaders, he s

DAP pun ada Melayu...
Hati saya tertanya-tanya, bagaimana DAP boleh dituduh sebagai anti-Islam dan anti Melayu kerana dalam parti DAP sendiri pun terdapat juga ahli-ahli berketurunan Melayu biarpun bilangannya sedikit berbanding dengan PAS, UMNO dan KeADILan.
Isu melarang penjualan bir dan minuman beralkohol telah sengaja dibesar-besarkan oleh pihak-pihak tertentu, khususnya UMNO dan media-media yang dikuasai mereka.
Hari ini, adalah amat jelas bagi kita apabila Perdana Menteri Najib Tun Razak merangkap Pengerusi Badan Perhubungan UMNO Selangor secara terang-terang mengatakan bahawa beliau mahu menawan semula Selangor daripada Pakatan Rakyat. Beliau turut mengatakan bahawa Selangor merupakan nadi negara dan BN mempunyai peluang cerah untuk menawan Selangor jikalau parti-parti komponen BN yang diketuai UMNO bersedia untuk berubah.
Ucapan ini disampaikan beliau semasa beliau membuka Persidangan Agung UMNO Bahagian Kuala Selangor pada awal hari ini.
Sudah jelas bahawa bermula dengan isu siasatan SPRM terhadap ADUN-ADUN Pakatan Rakyat, diikuti dengan tuduhan pejabat Exco PR digunakan oleh kongsi-kongsi gelap sebagai tempat bermesyuarat, kini dengan isu melarang penjualan minuman beralkohol (sama ada bir atau minuman keras), Kesemua isu ini telah dibesar-besarkan oleh media dan pemimpin-pemimpin BN untuk mengucar-kacirkan PR Selangor dan sekaligus memecah-belahkan kesefahaman yang telah dicapai oleh ketiga-tiga buah komponen parti PR Selangor.
Kalau saya tidak silap, isu ini pernah dibangkitkan oleh PAS akhir tahun lalu, apabila Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (pada masa itu masih bergelar Dato' Seri) menjadi Perdana Menteri. Kalau UMNO benar-benar memperjuangkan hak dan kepentingan Muslim, maka seharusnya merekalah yang patut membesar-besarkan dan menghebah-hebahkan isu ini pada masa itu dan bukan menunggu sehingga sekarang, apabila Perdana Menteri sudah bertukar, barulah mereka bercadang hendak memperjuangkan hak orang Islam dengan mengapi-apikan isu ini.
Maka dengan itu, keghairahan UMNO dan media mereka seperti Utusan Malaysia yang baru-baru ini begitu prihatin untuk memperjuangkan prinsip Islam tidak harus dibaca dan ditaksir dari muka rupanya sahaja. Memang ada udang di sebalik batu.
Kalau benarlah mereka begitu jujur dan ikhlas dalam memperjuangkan prinsip Islam dan mendesak mengharamkan penjualan minuman beralkohol di kawasan majoriti Muslim, maka mereka juga harus melakukan yang sama di negeri dan tempat yang diperintah BN. Jangan mereka kuat menuding jari terhadap PR Selangor sedangkan mereka sendiri tidak mahu melakukan di tempat mereka sendiri.
Jikalau benarlah mereka hendak mengharamkan penjualan minuman beralkohol di kawasan majoriti Muslim di Selangor, kononnya cara ini dapat mengurangkan masalah sosial di kalangan remaja Muslim yang dikatakan telah sampai ke tahap kritikal kerana remaja-remaja Muslim mudah membeli minuman ini kedai-kedai serbaneka yang dibuka 24 jam sehari, maka saya ingin menanya, bagaimana kita hendak memberi takrifan berjaya atau gagal dasar ini? Apa yang akan dilakukan nanti jikalau tindakan pengharaman ini langsung tidak memperlihatkan keberkesanannya? Adakah dasar ini akan dibatalkan? Ataupun nanti kita pula hendak mencari sesuatu lagi untuk diharamkan untuk menutup kegagalan kita?
Jikalau kita dapat menjawab soalan-soalan ini dengan baik, maka saya cadangkan kita haramkan penjualan minuman beralkohol bukan sahaja di kawasan majoriti-Muslim, malahan kita haramkannya juga di kawasan-kawasan majoriti bukan Muslim dengan syarat kita gerenti masalah sosial dapat diatasi.
Sanggupkah kita melakukannya? Adakah kita yakin dasar ini akan berkesan? Saya menyerah kepada para pembaca untuk menilai sendiri. Yang penting ialah kita tidak boleh mengikut buta tuli apa yang dilaung-laungkan oleh mereka yang mempunyai agenda sendiri sahaja.

Zaid outlines blueprint for Pakatan government

Zaid, a former Umno minister, joined PKR recently. — File picBy Leslie Lau
Consultant Editor
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 10 — Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has offered the public a glimpse of a Pakatan Rakyat (PR) federal government by outlining a common platform that includes an anti-discrimination law, abolishing the ISA and relaxing of legislation like the Sedition Act and press laws.
Zaid, who has been given the job of casting in stone common ground for the disparate alliance criticised for having no shared ideology, said a PR administration would also introduce an economic policy with safety nets and a new education strategy to produce more competitive graduates.
“Pakatan Rakyat must firstly unite all Malaysians. We must revive the dreams of Tunku Abdul Rahman and other independence leaders,” he wrote in a posting on his blog yesterday.
The PR alliance has come under heavy attacks from Umno in particular over its lack of a common platform.
Barisan Nasional’s (BN) lynchpin has taken full advantage of open squabbles between PR partners PKR, PAS and DAP to drive a wedge among the opposition parties.
Umno has also stepped up the rhetoric to paint Malay leaders in PR as traitors in well-worn attacks underscoring the right-wing appeal of the ruling party.
With some PAS leaders beginning to blow hot and cold in their commitment to PR, Zaid appears to be also in a hurry now to set down the opposition’s common platform.
In his blog post yesterday evening, the former Umno minister outlined four main areas for PR’s platform:
• To introduce anti-discrimination laws
• To introduce an economic policy with safety nets to protect the lower income group
• To introduce an education policy that will produce competitive graduates, especially among Malay and Bumiputeras
• To abolish the Internal Security Act and the Printing Presses and Publications Act; to relax provisions which give excessive powers to the government in the Official Secrets Act, the Sedition Act and other legislation; to introduce sweeping reforms to the police, courts and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
“Pakatan must reject the practice of discrimination. This proposal (to introduce an anti-discrimination law) will not affect the special position of Malays under Article 153 of the constitution.
“Do not listen to Umno’s lies. The non-Bumiputeras have never asked for Article 153 to be abolished,” said Zaid.
He said the proposed legislation would ensure non-Malays are not discriminated against, and that Malays are not discriminated against by the non-Bumiputera community. Article 153, he pointed out, would be maintained.
The former minister, who recently joined PKR, said PR should also introduce an economic policy with a safety net in place for the lower-income group.
“We are not a poor country. In fact we should all live in prosperity if we reduce wastage and leakages because of corruption. Pakatan is committed to wiping out graft.”
PR’s education policy, he said, would also be aimed at making Malay and Bumiputera graduates in particular more competitive by revamp the system to ensure quality teachers and identification of key subjects for improvement.
Another key area Zaid identified for reform if PR came to power was to curb what he said was excessive powers that had been given to government institutions.
“A Pakatan Rakyat government must be free and not instil fear in the public. It must have an open attitude and accept criticisms. This can only be done by establishing a free and democratic government,” he said.
He singled out the ISA and the Printing Presses and Publications Act for abolition.
Other laws like the Sedition Act and the Official Secrets Act would also have their provisions relaxed in a PR administration, he said.
Zaid said widespread reforms were also necessary for the judiciary, police and MACC.
“I believe that when Pakatan Rakyat agrees with these basic aims, the confidence of the public will increase. It will ensure the leaders are busy with these aims and have no time to argue over trivial matters,” he said.
Zaid said that if PR were to concentrate on such a common platform, the public would no longer perceive the alliance as just an “anti-ISA party” but as a coalition with substance.

Hope to be true!!

Polls in Perak after Aidilfitri?

Posted by admin
Monday, 10 August 2009 01:49
Written by Yong Min Wei, The Edge
Encouraged by the strong approval rating of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and inspired by the positive vibes from his economic liberalisation policies and goodies for the rakyat, Barisan Nasional (BN) is said to be keen on going back to the people to end the political impasse in Perak.
Talk is rife that BN now fancies its chances in the state and is willing to put its popularity to the test at the ballot box. And there were rumours last month that Osman Jailu (Changkat Jering) and Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi (Behrang) had been unhappy since switching sides and were considering returning to Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), raising the possibility of the Perak state legislative assembly being dissolved.Online news portal Malaysiakini reported last week a growing anticipation of a snap election in Perak by year-end, after BN nearly snared Manek Urai against most predictions. Citing a reliable source, it said the cabinet had recently discussed the possibility of fresh polls in Perak.Some Pakatan Rakyat (PR) leaders also seemed convinced that the Perak state assembly would be dissolved sometime after Hari Raya Aidilfitri, while political observers pointed to the need for BN to resolve the power grab issue as it could undermine its performance in the next general election.The state assembly, which has been adjourned since the infamous May 7 sitting, is not expected to reconvene until November — more than a month after Aidilfitri.Political analyst Wong Chin Huat said BN would use the results of the Permatang Pasir by-election to gauge the sentiment of Malay voters on the west coast of the peninsula.“It’s hard to tell if fresh polls will be called after Aidilfitri but BN will likely do so if its calculations showed that it can command 60% of the Malay support in Perak,” he told The Edge Financial Daily.However, Wong said BN was expected to cross-check its figures against the growing resentment of non-Malay voters, especially after the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock in mysterious circumstances and the publication of news reports with racial overtones.He said BN would find it very challenging to govern the state as it was only hanging on to power due to defections and through bureaucratic intervention. But he noted that PR would need the support of 80% of non-Malay voters to return to power.“Risking Perak with new polls may end any national animosity against Najib and would strengthen his popularity at the federal level,” said Wong, adding that BN would have to consider whether it could afford to carry the weight of the political impasse in Perak into the next general election.On whether Perakians would forsake PR due to the incessant bickering among component parties, he said: “Perak PAS is the most stable of all the Pakatan-governed states. Also Perak Pakatan is strongly behind (Datuk Seri Mohammad) Nizar (Jamaluddin) who is still their menteri besar.”The political chatter has not convinced Dr Ooi Kee Beng, who said fresh polls may not be on the cards this year. BN had riled Perakians so much by its power grab in February and the memories would not fade away in a short time, he said.“BN has taken a lot of trouble to win back Perak. Why would they want to jeopardise the government now?” the political analyst said.Ooi said BN had traditionally called for federal and state elections simultaneously, as the strategy tended to work in its favour given its well-oiled and big campaign machinery. Holding state polls separately in the peninsula would be risky considering the current political landscape, he added.“I don’t think it (fresh polls) will happen this year. If Najib would drop some goodies on the Perakians and call for fresh polls next year, then it is a different story,” said Ooi, a fellow at Singapore’s Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.In contrast, Research For Social Advancement (Refsa) adviser Richard Yeoh said BN could be tempted to call for fresh elections in Perak as the current political circumstances appeared to favour them. He said voters in the state may reject PR for the squabbles and infighting seen in Kedah, Penang and Selangor.He said the prime minister had initiated investor- and people-friendly policies that could set the tone for a snap poll in Perak. The move could also draw praise for Najib from the international community in his pursuit of the 1Malaysia concept.“Giving the people of Perak the right to self-determine their government as soon as possible would further promote democracy and transparency in Najib’s administration,” said Yeoh, a former executive director of Transparency International-Malaysia.He said fresh polls would be the right direction in establishing a stable government in Perak, as the “two frogs” Osman and Jamaluddin were facing corruption charges and could be disqualified as lawmakers if convicted.“BN would not have a majority government without the two frogs. On the other hand, there would be many questions raised should the two have their charges dropped,” he said, adding that a state government must convince voters of its legitimacy and transparency to last the full term.“I think BN has a 50-50 chance of wresting the state though some have written them off should fresh elections be called now,” added Yeoh.The Perak political impasse started in early February when Osman, Jamaluddin and Hee Yit Foong (Jelapang) left PR and became BN-friendly independents. With the support of the three lawmakers, BN raised its tally in the legislative assembly to a 31-28 majority to bring an end to Nizar’s 11-month government.

PERHIMPUNAN - ZAMBRY PENGECUT BERDEPAN RAKYAT?
Zambry ‘pengecut’: PKR
SHAH ALAM – Pemimpin Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) menyifatkan Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir sebagai pemimpin ‘pengecut’ dan tidak menghormati hak rakyat kerana mempunyai pendirian berbeza dengan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berkaitan membenarkan sesuatu perhimpunan aman dilakukan di stadium.Zambry dipetik sebagai berpendapat, perhimpunan menuntut pembubaran Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) yang bakal diadakan di Stadium Perak anjuran Dewan Pemuda Perak akan membuatkan rakyat hidup tidak tenteram dan untuk memenuhi keseronokan semata-mata, lapor sebuah portal berita online tempatan.Ketua Angkatan Muda Keadilan (AMK), Shamsul Iskandar Mat Akin berkata, Zambry mengeluarkan ke�nyataan demikian kerana khuatir kedudukannya sebagai Menteri Besar Perak akan terjejas.“Beliau tidak dapat menerima kenyataan akan menghadapi lebih ramai penyokong yang membantah pelantikannya sebagai Menteri Besar dan menyeru agar DUN Perak dibubarkan segera.“Beliau juga menafikan hak demokrasi rakyat untuk berhimpun menyuarakan ketidakpuas�hatian terhadap sesuatu perkara sebagaimana yang termaktub dalam Perlembagaan,” katanya ketika dihubungi Sinar Harian di sini, semalam.Katanya, Zambry mesti menghormati hak dan perasaan rakyat kerana apa jua tuntutan menggambarkan aspirasi yang mereka diingini. Dalam pada itu, Pengarah Strategik PKR, Tian Chua berkata, cadangan Najib untuk membenarkan sesuatu perhimpunan aman dilakukan di stadium adalah sesuatu yang tidak ikhlas.“Kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) sebenarnya takut berhadapan dengan rakyat yang lantang menyuarakan hak mereka. Pada hakikatnya mereka sebenarnya tidak mahu apa jua perhimpunan rakyat menentang sesuatu dilakukan.“Mereka bimbang lebih banyak lagi penyokong yang turun dan kedudukan kerajaan akan terancam,” katanya. Tian Chua berkata, tidak semua perhimpunan aman sesuai dilakukan di stadium sebagaimana yang dicadangkan oleh Perdana Menteri. “Contohnya, jika rakyat hendak menghantar memorandum menolak keganasan Israel terhadap Palestin, demonstrasi lebih sesuai diadakan di hadapan bangunan kedutaan berkenaan,” katanya./SH

Tidak sedarkah Melayu sedang dihina?

Orang Melayu perlu buka mata dan pasang telinga. Kalau benar pakatan menolak ISA itu adalah suara semua kaum, ke mana kaum-kaum lain dalam demonstrasi Sabtu lalu?

UTUSAN MALAYSIA

SEKALI lagi segelintir orang Melayu menjadi 'kuda tunggangan' pihak tertentu. Sekali lagi Melayu ditipu kerana mahu memenuhi perjuangan kaum lain.
Pada Februari lalu, kita dapat saksikan bagaimana orang Melayu yang menjadi penyokong fanatik pakatan pembangkang di Perak sanggup tunjuk perasaan dan baring di tengah jalan depan Istana Kuala Kangsar.
Dulu mereka tunjuk perasaan sebab mahu mengganggu majlis mengangkat sumpah Menteri Besar Perak yang baru. Mereka lupa kerajaan pimpinan bekas menteri besar daripada Pas dan 'dikawal' oleh DAP itu sudah hilang kuasa.
Sabtu lalu, orang Melayu yang beria-ia mahu ISA dimansuhkan melakukan huru-hara di ibu kota Kuala Lumpur. Mereka lupa pihak yang mahu ISA dimansuhkan itu adalah perjuangan pertubuhan haram Hindraf.
Orang Melayu perlu buka mata dan pasang telinga. Kalau benar pakatan menolak ISA itu adalah suara semua kaum, ke mana kaum-kaum lain dalam demonstrasi Sabtu lalu?
Hakikatnya, majoriti yang terkena gas dan cecair pemedih mata adalah orang Melayu. Lebih 90 peratus daripada 589 orang yang ditahan juga adalah Melayu.
Ke mana perginya penyokong DAP dan PKR daripada kaum Cina dan India? Adakah mereka mempunyai strategi lain dan demonstrasi jalanan bukan cara mereka?
Sebelum ini mereka yang berapi-api melaungkan slogan hapuskan ISA. Nampaknya penyokong Pas sahaja yang dijadikan 'kambing hitam.' Imej Melayu yang berkupiah putih, berjubah dan berserban diperlihat sebagai orang yang ganas dan kurang bertamadun.
Tiada siapa yang suka imej yang memburukkan orang Melayu dan Islam. Jelas ada yang tidak kena. Adakah orang Melayu sedar akan hal ini?
Kejadian dua kali orang Melayu 'bertempur' dengan pasukan polis pada tahun ini wajar membuka akal fikiran kita.
Bodohkah Melayu atau bijaknya mainan politik bukan Melayu? Cuba fikir, akhirnya siapa yang untung dan siapa yang rugi?
Kita belum temui cadangan pihak pakatan rakyat untuk mengadakan demonstrasi mempertahankan hak-hak Melayu dan Bumiputera dalam Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang cuba diganggu-gugat oleh bukan Melayu.
Sebaliknya perkara yang boleh memberi keuntungan kepada bukan Melayu dalam jangka masa panjang yang beria-ia disokong.
Kempen pembubaran Dewan Undangan Negeri Perak adalah usaha kuat DAP. Gerakan hapuskan ISA adalah kempen Hindraf.
Tetapi majoriti peserta tunjuk perasaan yang menyusahkan rakyat itu ialah Melayu.
Jika dikatakan maruah dan martabat orang Melayu sekarang semakin diganggu gugat dan dicabar, mungkin penyokong pembangkang enggan menerimanya.
Mereka tidak akan percaya maruah Melayu dihina dan diperkudakan. Mereka tak mudah menerima penerangan bahawa banyak cara halus sedang dilakukan untuk menjatuhkan maruah pemimpin dan orang Melayu.
Terpulang kepada orang Melayu sendiri sama ada mahu bangkit atau relakan diri dipijak oleh orang lain.

Siapakah yang sebenarnya menyemarakkan isu RASIS?

Siapakah sebenarnya yang menyemarakkan isu RASIS .....

Melayu jangan jadi bacul

Posted by admin
Tuesday, 04 August 2009 11:48
Strategi yang mereka pergunakan sekarang sudah nyata berjaya. Terus menyemarakkan isu rasis untuk menimbulkan "kemarahan dan kebencian" rakyat kepada apa juga kuasa yang ada kepada orang Melayu, termasuk kuasa mahkamah, polis dan tentera. Dan kuasa Raja-Raja Melayu.
Oleh Noor Azam, Utusan Malaysia
APA yang dikehendaki oleh orang Cina, India dan Pas ketika ini ialah kuasa politik dan pentadbiran yang lebih besar. Bukannya keadilan dan demokrasi. Maka kerana itu, kuasa politik Melayu yang dipegang oleh UMNO sejak merdeka mestilah dihapuskan. Ini boleh dicapai apabila Pas dan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menyokong DAP.
Saya mulai dengan imbas kembali beberapa tajuk besar muka depan Mingguan Malaysia dan Utusan Malaysia:
1. "Ketuanan Melayu Tercabar" - 13 April 2008.
2. "Henti Guris Melayu - Peringatan Sultan Azlan Shah kepada semua pihak" - 6 November 2008.
3. "Jangan Persoal - Ketuanan Melayu bukan jenaka yang boleh dipermainkan" - reaksi beberapa menteri kanan UMNO terhadap kenyataan Datuk Seri Dr. Chua Soi Lek - 30 November 2008.
4. "Bangkitlah Melayu - Bersatu hadapi tuntutan kaum lain yang makin keterlaluan" - 15 April 2009.
5. "Peringatan Sultan Azlan - Tindakan cemar institusi raja seperti menyalakan api dalam sekam" - 20 April 2009.
6. "Jangan Melampau - Pakatan pembangkang didesak hentikan tuduhan terhadap SPRM" - 20 Julai 2009.
Banyak lagi seruan dan desakan - dalam bentuk berita, komentar Awang Selamat dan pelbagai bentuk tulisan yang sangat keras dan tajam.
Semuanya merangsang bangsa Melayu bertindak mempertahankan maruah dan keutuhan bangsa.
Orang Melayu, Raja-Raja Melayu dan Kumpulan Utusan Melayu yang selama ini sangat bersabar dan sentiasa sangat berhati-hati menjaga hati orang Cina dan India, sudah tidak boleh tahan lagi.
Kata Awang Selamat, "Hati Awang semakin hari semakin ditoreh-toreh oleh tuntutan pelbagai pihak bukan Melayu yang bersikap terlalu rasis selepas PRU Ke-12."
Akan tetapi semua seruan dan amaran hanya tinggal dalam lipatan akhbar Utusan Malaysia sahaja. Orang Melayu tidak bangunbangun juga.
Pertubuhan Melayu - yang lama dan baru - hanya sekadar mengeluarkan kenyataan marah-marah dan membuat laporan polis sahaja.
GAPENA yang menganjurkan Kongres Perpaduan Melayu yang sangat besar dan penuh bersemanga pun, sampai sekarang tidak nampak sebarang tindakan.
Pemimpin UMNO, termasuk Pemuda pun sekadar mengeluarkan kenyataan dan amaran sahaja.
Serangan dan penghinaan pembangkang dan aktivis politik Cina dan India terhadap Melayu semakin menjadi-jadi. Mereka sengaja menunjukkan keberanian dan tindakan kurang ajar. Cuma mereka belum berarak dan membuka butang seluar seperti sewaktu Tragedi 13 Mei.
Melayu kini sudah jadi bangsa yang takut bertindak. Sultan dan Raja Muda Perak telah melangkah tradisi diraja, tampil ke muka menyampaikan beberapa titah yang sangat berani, tegas dan terus terang.
Memberi amaran kepada Melayu-Islam akan situasi politik kita yang sangat kritikal dan masa depan yang gelap.
Sultan Selangor dan Tengku Mahkota Kelantan menyertai tindakan Sultan dan Raja Muda Perak itu.
Majlis Raja-Raja Melayu mengeluarkan "Kenyataan Akhbar Khas". Suatu amaran keras, yang belum pernah dibuat sebelum ini (Utusan Melayu, 17 Oktober 2008). Tetapi tiada apa-apa tindakan susulan. Maka kita pun jadi lupa.
Benarlah seperti peringatan Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad dalam Perhimpunan Agung UMNO beberapa tahun lalu: "Orang Melayu mudah lupa". Penglibatan istana ini menunjukkan kemelut politik di negara kita sudah sangat serius. Memerlukan tindakan segera. Bukan hanya retorik kata-kata.
Situasi politik yang tergambar dalam imbasan akhbar inilah, saya rasa, membuat Dr. Mahathir pun tidak boleh tahan lagi.
Lalu dalam blognya pada 20 Julai lalu, beliau menyiarkan tulisan "Kaki Dalam Kasut". Artikel itu diserang oleh aktivis dan pejuang politik pembangkang Cina dan India sebagai suatu pemikiran yang rasis.
Tidak pelik beliau dituduh rasis. Meski pun Dr. Mahathir hanya menyatakan fakta-fakta sejarah yang benar.
Tuduhan rasis kepada pemimpin Melayu adalah salah satu senjata politik parti pembangkang yang amat berkesan untuk membunuh kuasa politik Melayu, yang sejak merdeka di tangan UMNO.
Apakah sebenarnya cita-cita orang Cina dan India - khususnya DAP yang disokong kuat oleh Pas dan Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR)? Malah mereka turut mendapat sokongan Mursyidul Am Pas, Datuk Seri Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Presiden Pas, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang dan Anwar sendiri.
Kumpulan ini berdemonstrasi dan memekik-mekik menuntut 'hak, keadilan dan demokrasi'.
Berpuluh-puluh tahun Anwar memegang kuasa besar dan menjalani kehidupan amat mewah dan berpengaruh dalam BN. Ketika itu tidak pernah pun beliau mempersoalkan hak, keadilan dan demokrasi.
Malah beliau menyokong Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) dikekalkan. Ini baru beberapa tahun lalu. Tentu Anwar belum lupa.
Akhbar rasmi Pas, Harakah pada 5 Julai lalu menyiarkan tajuk besar "Pakatan ganti BN" dengan berita megah: "Himpunan perdana perpaduan 100,000 anjuran pakatan rakyat (pembangkang) di Petaling Jaya, 30 Jun lalu menjadi saksi betapa gabungan Pas, Keadilan (PKR) dan DAP terus mantap dalam usaha meneraju perubahan dan seterusnya menggantikan BN."
Turut dipaparkan ialah foto pemimpin kanan DAP, Lim Kit Siang bersalaman amat erat dengan Abdul Hadi sambil diperhatikan dengan penuh teruja dan megah oleh rakan lama saya, Anwar Ibrahim.
Memang patut benar dimegahkan kerana Anwar yakin tidak lama lagi beliau akan menjadi Perdana Menteri. Musuh lamanya dalam politik lama, sudah dipeluk erat dan mesra.
Bagi Nik Abdul Aziz, musuh yang berkekalan sehingga kiamat adalah "UMNO yang kafir". DAP dan Kit Siang tidak kafir! Pas sanggup memeluk Kit Siang. Juga kerana hendak mendapat kuasa memerintah. Demokrasi dan Islam hanya alat kempen sahaja. Siapakah yang munafik?
Menjadi parti pemerintah adalah hak semua parti yang menang pilihan raya. Berdasarkan jumlah calon Cina dan India dari pakatan pembangkang yang menang pada PRU 12 kita sudah dapat melihat betapa besar kuasa politik yang boleh mereka capai.
Buktinya jelas di Pulau Pinang, Perak, Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur. Dan apabila mereka berkuasa dan meminda Perlembagaan supaya Wilayah Persekutuan juga mengadakan pilihan raya, pastilah mereka akan memerintah ibu negara kita.
Datuk Bandar dan pegawai-pegawai kanan Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur seperti yang ada sekarang akan bertukar tangan.
Berdasarkan jumlah calon bukan Melayu yang akan menang pada PRU 13 nanti, sudah dapat dibayangkan berapa kementerian penting yang akan mereka pegang.
Siapa akan jadi Ketua Setiausaha Negara, Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian, Ketua Pengarah Jabatan, pegawai-pegawai kanan dan Pegawai Daerah. Siapakah akan jadi pegawai kanan dalam pasukan polis dan angkatan tentera.
Saksikan apa yang telah berlaku di Pulau Pinang, Perak dan Selangor. Hak Istimewa Melayu dan Dasar Ekonomi Baru pun tidak akan ada lagi.
Strategi yang mereka pergunakan sekarang sudah nyata berjaya. Terus menyemarakkan isu rasis untuk menimbulkan "kemarahan dan kebencian" rakyat kepada apa juga kuasa yang ada kepada orang Melayu, termasuk kuasa mahkamah, polis dan tentera. Dan kuasa Raja-Raja Melayu.
Oleh itu, apa pun yang telah dan akan dilakukan oleh kerajaan BN sukar sekali mengatasi "kemarahan dan kebencian" yang terus mereka bakar setiap hari. Mereka menggunakan kesempatan daripada apa juga isu, termasuk isu orang mati.
Anehnya ramai juga orang Melayu-Islam yang ikut benci kepada kuasa bangsa sendiri. Bangsa Melayu sudah menjadi bangsa yang tolol dan bacul. Dan "orang yang bacul, akan mati sebelum mati".
Walaupun bekas Menteri Besar Perak, Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin memberikan hak milik tanah selama 999 tahun kepada kaum Cina, ramai juga orang Melayu mengundi beliau pada Pilihan Raya Kecil Parlimen Bukit Gantang.
Abdul Hadi pula berikrar "akan terus mengukuhkan pakatan pembangkang".
Benarlah bangsa Melayu yang memerintah sudah nak mati! Dan saya ingin bertanya Anwar Ibrahim: "Di manakah nanti duduknya kuasa politik Melayu dalam kerajaan pakatan pembangkang?"
Dalam artikel "Kaki Dalam Kasut", Dr. Mahathir mengingatkan: "Apabila Semenanjung Tanah Melayu dicantum dengan Singapura, Sarawak dan Sabah, perkataan Tanah Melayu digugur dan cantuman negeri-negeri ini dinamakan Malaysia.
Dengan itu hilanglah identiti Melayu dalam nama negara sendiri dan orang bukan Melayu yang menjadi tuan yang sebenar."
Apakah tindakan politik yang perlu kita buat sekarang? Demonstrasi atau laporan polis lagi?

Setiausaha Publisiti DAP Kebangsaan, Tony Pua menafikan bahawa demonstrasi Anti-Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) yang diadakan kelmarin hanya terdiri kaum Melayu sahaja.
Katanya, tidak timbul isu terbabit kerana kaum lain juga turut terlibat secara langsung dalam perarakan itu dan menyifatkan dakwaan itu tidak berasas.Menurutnya, bangsa Cina dan India juga hadir menyertai perhimpunan itu tetapi kebanyakannya berkumpul di Kompleks Pernas Sogo.
“Dalam konteks ini saya rasa tidak timbul isu bangsa lain tidak terlibat. Kalau hanya fokus di Jalan Masjid India, kawasan terbabit memang ramai Melayu, tetapi jika dilihat secara keseluruhannya lokasi kaum lain pun kelihatan,“Justeru jangan timbulkan soal perkauman di sini,” katanya di sini, semalam.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas dakwaan yang kononnya kaum Melayu lebih ramai terlibat dalam demonstrasi Anti-Isa yang diadakan pada Sabtu lalu anjuran Gerakan Mansuh Isa (GMI).Tony berkata, dalam apa juga situasi persoalan berbau perkauman tidak patut digunakan sama sekali kerana ia akan mencetuskan keadaan negatif kepada masyarakat.Beliau berkata, rakyat yang keluar adalah merangkumi semua kaum, tujuan asal mereka adalah satu iaitu untuk memansuhkan ISA.
“Perkara itu (mansuh ISA) lebih penting daripada mencetuskan perkauman. Bagi saya isu siapa ramai yang terlibat langsung tidak timbul.“Saya rasa isu itu tidak pentingnya, tetapi matlamatnya adalah penting,”katanya.Dalam pada itu, beliau berkata, perhimpunan yang dilaksanakan itu membuktikan rakyat negara ini sanggup keluar menyokong mansuh akta itu.“Penyertaan mereka (rakyat) merupakan satu cara untuk memberi desakan kepada kerajaan untuk bertindak memansuhkan akta terbabit,” katanya. -SH

Kira-kira 300 orang berhimpun menyokong penduduk Kampung Buah Pala di Pulau Pinang ekoran hari ini merupakan tarikh akhir mereka diminta berpindah dari situ.Antara mereka yang hadir ialah dari Hindraf, MIC, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) dan NGO Jerit.Sehingga ini, tiada kelihatan sebarang tanda-tanda akan berlakunya operasi perobohan rumah penduduk di situ.Di situ, tidak kelihatan jentolak, anggota polis mahu pun penguatkuasa majlis bandaraya Georgetown.Hari ini merupakan tarikh akhir perintah penduduk Kampung Buah Pala berpindah dari kawasan tersebut yang akan dimajukan dengan projek kondominium mewah - the Oasis - oleh syarikat Nusmetro Venture.Pihak pemaju telah memberi tempoh kepada penduduk di situ sehingga 3 Ogos untuk berpindah sebelum 20 buah rumah di situ dirobohkan untuk memulakan projek tersebut.Bagaimanapun, minggu lalu, kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang telah membatalkan kebenaran untuk memajukan kawasan tersebut dan tidak jelas sama ada pihak pemaju akan meneruskan tindakan memindahkan penduduk di situ esok.Lebih kurang jam 10.30 pagi tadi penduduk Kampung Buah Pala telah menuju ke Komtar untuk bertemu dengan Ketua Menteri Yb Lim Guan Eng untuk menyerahkan memorendum yang telah diterima oleh setiausaha politiknya Yb Ng Wei Aik.Jam 1.00 petang tadi Yb Ng Wei Aik telah datang ke Kg Buah Pala untuk berbincang dengan penduduk di situ.

KM pula beri amaran jangan roboh
Ogos 3, 09 6:01pm
Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng memberi amaran kepada Koperasi pegawai Kerajaan Pulau Pinang, pemilik tanah Kampung Buah Pala, supaya tidak merobohkan rumah penduduk di situ esoksehingga satu penyelesaian yang tidak merugikan mana-mana pihak dapat dicapai."Jika koperasi berkeras untuk merobohkan rumah-rumah di situ, kerajaan negeri tidak ada pilihan selain membatalkan perintah yang dikeluarkan untuk pembangunan kampung itu," katanya kepada pemberita hari ini.Lim mengulas kenyataan pengerusi koperasi itu, Abdul Razak Mansor semalam bahawa sebarang rundingan mengenai penempatan semula penduduk kampung itu hanya dapat dijalankan selepas rumah mereka dirobohkan, lapor Bernama.Sebanyak 23 keluarga yang masih tinggal di kampung itu gagal dalam rayuan mereka di mahkamah untuk terus tinggal dan telah diarah berpindah dari tanah milik koperasi itu selewat-lewatnya hari ini.Namun mereka enggan berbuat demikian kerana berpegang kepada janji beberapa ahli politik pembangkang semasa kempen pilihanraya tahun lepas untuk membantu mereka.Lim berkata kerajaan negeri tidak mampu membeli tanah itu daripada koperasi atau pemajunya untuk membolehkan kumpulan keluarga itu terus menetap di situ.

Why we March?

2009-08-03T08:06:00.000-07:00

The Time to change....PRK Mantin

WHY march, when the government has said that it will review the Internal Security Act?

Why march, when there are other very cosy ways of giving your views and feedback?One would understand if these were questions posed by nine-year-olds. But they are not. They are questions posed by the prime minister of this nation we call our home.

Answer we must.

So, why?

Because thousands who died while in detention cannot march or speak any more. That is why others have to do it for them.Because persons in the corridors of power, persons who have amassed tremendous wealth and live in mansions, and persons who are in the position to right wrongs but won’t, continue to rule our nation with suffocating might. And they certainly would not march.

They would prevent others from marching.

Because the have-nots, the sidelined, the oppressed, the discriminated and the persecuted have no effective line to the powerful.

Because the nice ways have been tried ad nauseam for decades, but have fallen on deaf ears.

Because none of the major recommendations of Suhakam (including on peaceful assembly), or of the commissions of inquiry, has been implemented.

Because the proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) is not in sight, while corruption and insecurity live in every neighbourhood; and (despite reasoned views expressed ever so nicely in opposition) Rela (people’s volunteer corps) is being brought in to make matters even worse.The proponents in “Su Qiu” (remember them?) were not marchers. In fact it is hard to find nicer ways than “su qiu”, because the term means “present and request” or “inform and request”.

In terms of putting forward a view or a request, it is the height of politeness. Yet they were labelled “extremists” – they who did not march.And now you ask, why march?Because you gave non-marchers a false name! You called them the “silent majority”, who by virtue of their silence (so you proudly argued with twisted logic) were supporters of government policies since they were not vocal in raising objections.

You claimed to be protecting the interest of the “silent majority”. Now some of them do not want to be silent anymore, and you are asking why?

Yes, because double standards and hypocrisy cannot be covered up or explained away forever; and incompetence cannot be indefinitely propped up by depleting resources.

Because cronyism can only take care of a few people, and the rest will eventually wake up to realise the repeated lies that things were done in certain ways purportedly “for their benefit”.

Because the race card, cleverly played for such a long time, is beginning to be seen for what it really is – a despicable tool to divide the rakyat for easier political manipulation.

Because it does not take much to figure out that there is no good reason why Malaysia, a country with abundant human resources and rich natural resources, does not have a standard of living many times higher than that of Singapore, an island state with no natural resources and that has to import human resources from Malaysia and elsewhere.

Because, in general, countries that do not persecute marchers are prosperous or are improving from their previous state of affairs, and those that do are declining.

Because Gandhi marched, Mandela marched, Martin Luther King marched, and Tunku Abdul Rahman marched.

Because more and more people realise that peaceful assemblies are no threat at all to the security of the nation, although they are a threat to the security of tenure of the ruling elite.

Because politicians do not mean it when they say with a straight face or a smile that they are the servants and that the people are the masters. No servant would treat his master with tear gas, batons and handcuffs.

Because if the marchers in history had been stopped in their tracks, places like India, Malaysia and many others would still be colonies today, apartheid would still be thriving in South Africa, Nelson Mandela would still be scribbling on the walls of Cell 5, and Obama would probably be a slave somewhere in Mississippi plotting to make his next midnight dash for the river.

And because liberty, freedom and dignity are not free vouchers posted out to each household.They do not come to those who just sit and wait. They have to be fought for, and gained.And if you still want to ask: why march; I can go on and on until the last tree is felled. But I shallobviously not.I will end with the following lines from one of the songs sung in the 1960s by civil rights marchers in the US, without whom Obama would not be able to even sit with the whites in a bus, let alone reside in the White House:“It isn’t nice to block the doorwayIt isn’t nice to go to jailThere are nicer ways to do itBut the nice ways have all failedIt isn’t nice; it isn’t niceYou’ve told us once, you’ve told us twiceBut if that’s freedom’s priceWe don’t mind ...”By: Yeoh Yang PohYeo Yang Poh is a former Bar Council president.

This post is reproduced from herehttp://loyarburok.com/human-rights/try-me-human-rights/16-july-r-gunasegaran-die\d-teohs-body-found/
Joint statement by Civil Society On The Death in Police Custody Of R.Gunasegaran1.

Brief Facts
R. Gunasegaran, aged 31, was arrested on the evening of 16th July,2009 in Sentul.His family members were later informed that Gunasegaran had, that sameday, died, due to drug abuse-related causes.
Similarly, a copy of the burial permit, issued by the hospitalauthorities, states that Gunasegaran died from drug-related causes.A post-mortem has since been carried out.The family of the late Gunasegaran had requested for a copy of thepost-mortem report but have been informed that the same will only bemade available after:
i) the body of Gunasegaran, which is still in the Kuala LumpurHospital mortuary, is removed; and
ii) thereafter, after a formal application is made for a copy of the same.The family of the late Gunasegaran have been informed that it willtake about two months from the date of application for a copy of thesaid post-mortem report before a copy of the same will be madeavailable to them.
Since first learning of the death of Gunasegaran, the family of thedeceased have since been in contact with eye-witnesses to Gunasegaran's arrest and detention by the police authorities and havebeen informed that:
i) at the time of his arrest, Gunasegaran was subjected to physicalassault by a member of the police force; and
ii) at the Sentul police station, where Gunasegaran and several otherarrestees were taken, Gunasegaran was subjected to further assaults bythe same police officer who had assaulted him earlier, but with muchgreater severity, causing Gunasegaran to lose consciousness which henever regained until his death.

2. The Wishes Of The Family Of The Late Gunasegaran. We are given to understand that the family, quite understandably,wishes to remove the remains of the late Gunasegaran as soon aspossible, to perform the requisite religious rituals and thereafter toallow Gunasegaran the dignity of a proper cremation.Yet the family also needs to know the truth of why Gunasegaran is nolonger with them, given the information that has now come to them, andin this regard are desirous that the post-mortem report be immediatelymade available to them.

3. Civil Society ExpectationsIn the first instance, we extend our condolences to the family of thelate Gunasegaran.We also join the family in insisting that the post-mortem report bemade immediately available to the family of the late Gunasegaran.We also call for the holding of an inquest to look into the cause ofdeath of Gunasegaran.We also call on the authorities to put a stop to this practice ofdeferring the delivery of the post-mortem report to the next-of-kin,in "death in police custody" cases, until after the body has beenburied and or cremated. Given the suspicious circumstances of deathsin many of these cases, it is simply unacceptable that the next-of-kinin such cases should not be privy to this important report before thebody of the deceased is buried or cremated.
We also take this opportunity to reiterate the many calls by civilsociety for the long overdue establishment of the IPCMC. We feel thathad this Commission been set up some time back, the number of "deathin police custody" cases may not have been as numerous as we have hadto endure.Finally, we extend to the family of the late Gunasegaran a commitmentto render all assistance in getting to the truth of the circumstancessurrounding the death of Gunasegaran and, should an inquest or anyother investigation disclose an element of foul play leading toGunasegaran's death, to pursue justice for Gunasegaran and his family.____Gunasegaran:

Why is Gunasegaran dead?

Do you care?

Posted by Haris Ibrahim July 28, 2009At 5.10pm on 16th July, 2009, Malaysiakini first reported on thetragic death of Teoh Beng Hock.
http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/108637

Later that same night, a vigil was held outside the MACC HQ in ShahAlam attended by about 500 people, angered and horrified by Teoh'sdeath, the circumstances surrounding the same, and the patheticattempt on the part of the MACC to distance itself from anyculpability for this young man's tragic end.By the morning of the next day, it bacame clear that the generalpublic had not bought into the insensitive suggestion by a crass andcallous minister that Teoh had leapt to his death.The public wanted answers and relentlessly and loudly made this known.What the public did not then know was that shortly after Teoh's deathwas first reported by Malaysiakini, another, just slightly older thanTeoh but differently circumstanced, died in police custoody.R. Gunasegaran, aged 31, worked as a shop assistant in a toddy shop inSentul.On the evening of 16th July, Gunasegaran, along with several others,was arrested by an anti-dadah team.The arrestees were all taken to the Sentul police station.Two days later, on Saturday the 18th of July, the family ofGunasegaran was informed by the police that he was dead.Cause of death?According to the police, drug-related causes.The burial permit, issued by the hospital authorities, narrates the same.Drug-related causes, the burial permit declares, besides confirmingthat Gunasegaran was dead on arrival.The family was due to remove the body on Monday, 2oth July, forcremation, but inclement weather made this impossible.Divine intervention, it would seem, given the information that came tothe family of Gunasegaran soon after.Eye-witnesses to Guna's arrest and detention at the police stationhave given a version of events starkly at variance with the officialaccount.Guna, they say, was assaulted by the police at the time of arrest.At the police station, again, Guna was assaulted.This time, though, with such severity that Guna fell and lost consciousness.Guna, they say, never regained consciousness.The family have since requested for a copy of the post-mortem report.A post-mortem must already have been performed given the response tothe family's request for a copy of that report.The family have been told to first arrange for the body to be removedfrom the mortuary, and then make application for the report, whichwill then be delivered in about two months.You can well appreciate the dilemma of the family.Why is gunasegaran dead?Drug-related causes?Or police bashing?At a press conference today, the sister of the deceased, Madam Gowridemanded for a copy of the post-mortem report, if in fact such aprocedure has been carried out, and that an inquest into Gunasegaran'sdeath be carried out.

How many five years do you have in a life time?

Straight Talk Blog by khookaypeng30 July 2009

How Many Five Years Do You Have in a Life Time?

A few days ago, I received a sms from a friend informing me that shehas received an approval for her migration application to the US.Without hesitation, I called her up to congratulate her and remindedher to appreciate this opportunity.She has three school going children and it is not going to be easy forher, in her mid-40's, to uproot her young family from Malaysia tosettle somewhere thousands of miles away. Thousands of Malaysians areprobably doing the same yearly.Many of them decided to leave because all options have run out. Theydecided to leave because they do not see a future for their nextgenerations in this country. Friends who left their cushy jobs tomigrate do so because of their children. Not for their own comfort.This is why I have asked many friends this question, "how many fiveyears do we have in our life time?" How many five years can we affordto wait for real change to happen? Not that many. I have just sharedwith a friend that life is like a ticking time bomb. We not not knowwhen it will go off.The only thing we do not have in ample amount is time. Yasmin Ahmaddid not expect to leave us so soon. Beng Hock did not expect not towalk out from the MACC building alive. That is why we cannot expect towait forever for a real change to happen.Hence, I have been critical of the opposition PR leadership. Itsleaders should be made aware that whatever promises they made to thepeople will be held against them should they come into power one day.This is already happening in the four states ruled by the PRgovernment. People will hold them accountable for the reform promises.Unfortunately, I have come to realize that it does not pay to becritical in this country. We are still too keen to put a label on acritic - either he is anti-establishment or a BN lapdog. Only whenthis society becomes genuinely interested in real progress and reformsthat criticism can be fully accepted as a constructive action.If we want this country to improve, we need to become constructivecritics. We need to demand for the best and responsible governance.At this moment, the price to pay for being critical is huge. Manyorganisations, companies and individuals would do their best to avoidany link with critics although they may not necessary disagree withtheir views. They fear public persecution. They do not want to bestigmatized.However, if there is no effective check-and-balance mechanism thiscountry may turn for the worse. Many once developed and wealthysocieties had lost their wealth, influence and glow. They lost it allto poor governance, corruption, power abuse and brain drain. Can thissociety and local companies afford to face the same situation?How many of us are standing just inches away from the growing list ofmigrants? How many parents are quietly whispering to their children tostay back overseas once they have completed their studies? How many ofus are feeling less hopeful that this country can become a greatnation? How many of us are beginning to accept that racism is apermanent fixture of this society?How many five years can we afford to lose for continuing to tolerateand accept our fate that things will NOT change?Let me ask you sincerely how many critics can you afford to lose untila day when no one is left to speak up for you anymore?It is weird that I did not feel guilty asking my friend to be gratefulfor her successful application to migrate to a country much moresuperior and democratic than us.Is it something wrong with me or it is this country?

'He can say Guan Eng can settle the Kg Buah Pala issue with the stroke of a pen but as MIC president, he could not settle the Maika shares issue all these years.
'On Maika issue: CEO ready to meet Pakatan leaders

MS: On Vell Paari's invitation to Pakatan leaders for a briefing on Maika shares issue, it is almost 30 years since Indians in Malaysia invested into the shares, hoping that it would help them in their future as was announced during its inception. Everybody lost their money.What has Samy Vellu done about it all these years? No dividends were given, the shares have no value, and they cannot be sold. He can say CM Lim Guan Eng can settle the Kg Buah Pala issue with the stroke of a pen but as MIC president, he could not settle the Maika shares issue all these years.

On Teoh Beng Hock's sudden death while under MACC's custody, even MCA is asking for a RCI but what has Samy Vellu done for A Kugan's case? No wonder that matter has gone into oblivion.

When Hindraf marched to give their petition to the Yang DiPertuan Agong, Samy Vellu called them "terrorists". Is this how he looks at Indian Malaysians?

He lost in his own constituency of Sungai Siput, yet he stays on as MIC president.

Ling Leong Sik has left, Tun Mahathir has left, but Samy Vellu still wants to hold on to his position so as to pass the baton to his son as though it is his family's birthright.
Your time will come too.

Orang-orang Lenggeng & Mantin tertunggu-tunggu untuk Pilihanraya kecil.... tapi nampak gaya kena tunggu PRU13.....

Adun Lenggeng dituduh terima rasuah daripada kontraktor
SEREMBAN, 27 Julai (Hrkh) - Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Lenggeng, Mustafa Salim dituduh menerima rasuah RM2,000 daripada seorang lelaki di sebuah restoran di Mantin, dekat sini. Mustafa dituduh meminta wang suapan dari M.Manimaran, 37, untuk mengeluarkan surat sokongan untuk kelulusan permit menjual pasir.Beliau dihadapkan di Mahkamah Sesyen Seremban di hadapan Hakim Amran Jantan. Dia didakwa mengikut Seksyen 10(b) (aa) Akta Pencegahan Rasuah 1997 dan boleh dihukum mengikut Seksyen 16 akta sama yang memperuntukkan hukuman penjara sehingga 20 tahun dan denda lima kali ganda daripada jumlah suapan atau RM10,000 atau mana yang lebih.Mustafa dituduh menerima wang tunai RM2,000 daripada pengadu M. Manimaran, di Restoran Jabrin Maju, No.17, Jalan Bunga Raya 2/1, Taman Bunga Raya 2, Mantin pada pukul 5.00 petang, 31 Ogos 2008.Manimaran yang juga merupakan salah seorang saksi dalam kes ini, mendakwa Mustafa Salim melalui seorang lelaki bernama Mustafa Pendek, juga pernah meminta wang tunai RM3,000.00 di Lot 1321, Mukim Pantai di sini pada pukul 11 pagi, 28 Ogos 2008, atas alasan untuk mengeluarkan surat sokongan untuk kelulusan permit menjual pasir.Mustafa juga mengahadapi tuduhan yang ketiga iaitu meminta wang tunai RM2,000 dari Manimaran di Badan Pencegah Rasuah (Kini Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia), di Jalan Dato' Kelana Makmor pada pukul 9.05 malam, 30 Ogos 2008.Mustafa diwakili oleh peguam Ahmad Rosdi Ahmad Idrus, Dato' Taqiyuddin Yahya dan Mohd Faisal. Manakala John Fernandez bertindak sebagai peguam pemerhati Manimaran.Manimaran juga menolak cadangan peguambela Mustafa, bahawa pemberian wang tersebut adalah untuk program bantuan orang miskin dan ibu tunggal."Sumbangan bermakna pemberian ikhlas, tetapi saya diugut dan diminta memberi wang tunai secara paksa," kata Manimaran.Sementara itu Pegawai Penguatkuasa Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM), V. Mahendran, 25, menjelaskan bagaimana sebuah telefon bimbit Sony Ericsson K700i yang diubah suai digunakan untuk merakamkan perbualan audio dan visual tertuduh dan saksi di Restoran Jabrin Maju pada hari kejadian.Katanya, telefon bimbit itu diletakkan di atas meja dalam keadaan sedia untuk rakaman sebaik tertuduh duduk dan selepas tertuduh ditahan, telefon bimbit itu diserahkan kepada pegawai SPRM, Asisten Suprintendan Mohamad Ashraf Zamari.Ketika menjawab soalan Timbalan Pendakwa Raya SPRM, Dato' Abdul Razak Musa, Mahendran memberitahu wang perangkap sebanyak RM2,000 telah direkodkan nombor siri terlebih dahulu di pejabat SPRM Negeri Sembilan sebelum serbuan diatur."Sejurus Mustafa menerima wang tersebut dari Manimaran, dan selepas Manimaran meninggalkan meja untuk membasuh tangan, beberapa pegawai SPRM telah menyerbu Mustafa."YB mengambil kunci kereta dari meja dan cuba lari, walau bagaimanapun pegawai SPRM berjaya menahan beliau," kata Mahendran lagi.Pada prosiding di sebelah petang, mahkamah telah ditunjukkan rakaman DVD perbualan dan transaksi tuduhan tersebut yang berlaku di restoran Jabrin Maju, yang dirakamkan menggunakan telefon bimbit tersebut.Walau bagaimanapun rakaman tersebut terpaksa dihentikan selepas beberapa minit kerana sistem audio televisyen yang digunakan kurang jelas.Peguambela Mustafa, Mohd Faisal mempertikaikan bahawa salinan rakaman DVD yang diberikan kepada barisan peguamnya adalah lain daripada apa yang ditayangkan di mahkamah.Mohd Faisal memohon kepada mahkamah agar mereka diberikan salinan DVD yang dijadikan sebagai bahan bukti di mahkamah dengan alasan ada kemungkinan pihak pendakwa akan menyunting rakaman tersebut selepas Pegawai Penguatkuasa SPRM memberikan keterangan tadi.Hakim Amran Jantan menetapkan bahawa rakaman DVD ini akan diteliti semula ketika kes ini bersambung lagi pada 3 dan 5 Ogos depan. - mns_http://harakahdaily.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21906&Itemid=1

Inikah MIC yang dikatakan berjuang untuk orang-2 India...?

Isu Kg Buah Pala banyak sibuk........ Ini duit rakyat bila mau kasi balik?????

Pemegang saham Maika bergasak di ibupejabat MIC
Jul 30, 09 11:58am
Ibupejabat MIC di Jalan Rahmah, Kuala Lumpur hari ini menjadi tumpuan dua kumpulan berhubung isu membabitkan syarikat pelaburan parti itu - Maika Holdings.
Kumpulan pertama seramai kira-kira 150 orang, diketuai Timbalan Ketua Menteri 2 Pulau Pinang, Prof P Ramasamy dan beberapa pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat. Mereka turut disertai pemegang saham Maika Holdings yang tidak puashati dengan syarikat tersebut.
Mereka telah berarak menuju ke ibupejabat MIC pada jam 12 tengahari, menuntut penjelasan mengenai status kewangan Maika.
Kumpulan kedua diketuai oleh Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Maika, S Vell Paari bersama pemegang saham yang puashati dengan perjalanan syarikat tersebut.
Kumpulan ini telah mula berkumpul di ibupejabat Maika yang terletak di dalam bangunan ibupejabat MIC sejak jam 9 pagi tadi dan jumlahnya semakin meningkat.
Setibanya di ibupejabat MIC, kumpulan Ramasamy tidak dibenarkan masuk menemui Vell Paari untuk menyerahkan memorandum mengenai status kewangan Maika.
Manakala penyokong Vell Paari berhimpun di dalam bangunan tersebut.
Anggota polis kelihatan memantau keadaan di situ.
Pada kira-kira jam 12.30 tengahari, Vell Paari keluar dari bangunan ibupejabat MIC untuk bertemu dengan kumpulan Ramasamy. Keadan berasak-asak dan beliau terpaksa dikelilingi oleh anggota polis bagi melindunginya.
Akibat itu mengakibatkan berlaku pergelutan antara kedua-dua kumpulan tersebut, beberapa orang dilihat tercedera.
Anggota Unit Simpanan Persekutuan (FRU) kemudiannya bertindak segera bagi mengawal keadaan.
Ketika keadaan kecoh di luar bangunan ibupejabat MIC itu, Presidennya, Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu berada di dalam bangunan mempengerusikan mesyuarat jawatankuasa pusat parti itu.
Perhimpunan yang dianjurkan oleh Pakatan hari ini adalah ekoran rasa tidak puas hati ramai pemegang saham Maika terhadap prestasi syarikat tersebut dan menuntut supaya pelaburan mereka dipulang.
Salahkan Koperasi Nesa
Vell Paari, yang juga anak lelaki Presiden Samy Vellu, bagaimanapun menegaskan bahawa beliau sedia membayar balik pelaburan pemegang saham tetapi tidak dapat berbuat demikian kerana terdapat injunksi oleh Koperasi Nesa - yang diketuai bekas timbalan presiden, Datuk S Subramaniam - untuk menghalang penjualan syarikat insurans milik Maika.
Vell Paari pada awalnya mahu menjual syarikat insurans milik MIC - Oriental Capital Assurance Bhd (OCAB) - tetapi dibantah oleh Nesa, yang juga pemegang saham Maika, atas alasan penjualannya tidak menguntungkan sepenuhnya pemegang saham.Awal minggu ini, Vell Paari memberitahu Malaysiakini bahawa beliau bersedia bertemu kumpulan yang dipimpin oleh Ramasamy itu untuk memberi penjelasan kepada mereka mengenai status Maika.
Bagaimanapun, tambahnya, Ramasamy juga mesti bersedia memberi penjelasan mengenai langkah-langkah yang telah diambilnya untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi oleh penduduk Kampung Buah Pala di Pulau Pinang.
Vell Paari juga berkata, beliau akan mempelawa Ramasamy dan kumpulannya untuk menyertai pihaknya berarak ke pejabat Koperasi Nesa di Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, yang menghalang penjualan tersebut, dan seterusnya melambatkan pembayaran balik pelaburan pemegang saham Maika.

MB N.Sembilan sifatkan BPR bijak

Written by Syah
Thursday, 04 September 2008 12:21
Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan menyifatkan Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR) mampu untuk menjalankan tugas mereka dengan baik bagi menentukan individu yang mengambil rasuah, dianiaya atau diperangkap. Beliau berkata BPR mempunyai penilaian tiga faktor itu sebelum mengenal pasti individu yang ditahan benar-benar merupakan pesalah rasuah. ''Saya tidak menentang tindakan BPR dan memang bersetuju supaya gejala rasuah diperangi serta diberikan perhatian.
''Saya tidak akan berkompromi dengan mereka yang mengamalkan rasuah dan berharap BPR dapat bertindak dengan cekap supaya negara bersih daripada amalan rasuah," katanya. Mohamad menambah dengan berkata kadang â€“ kadang ada juga pihak yang memang hendak melihat pihak yang satu lagi jatuh dan ia dilakukan melalui pelbagai cara termasuk memasang perangkap yang akhirnya dapat memusnahkan masa hadapan individu berkenaan. Ianya berikutan penahanan Ahli Dewan Undangan negeri (ADUN) Lenggeng, Mustafa Salim dan Naib Ketua UMNO Bahagian Seremban, Mohd. Nor Awang oleh BPR. â€“Malaysia Today

Lebih 10 cawangan MIC terpaksa gulung tikar

July 26, 2009 Last update on 25/07/2009 17:34
Tokoh MIC SS. Subramanian Sertai Keadilan, 10 Cawangan MIC Ditutup

Bekas Naib Presiden MIC Datuk SS Subramaniam hari ini menjadi tokoh terbaru menyertai Parti Keadilan Rakyat, seminggu selepas mantan Menteri Kesihatan Chua Jui Meng menyertai parti itu, sekali gus mencerminkan Keadilan sebagai parti yang semakin didokong oleh pelbagai kaum di bawah gagasan Pakatan Rakyat.
Turut menyertai PKR hari ini adik Subramaniam, bersama kira-kira 1,700 bekas ahli MIC dari Petaling Jaya Selatan dan Pekan Meru di Kapar. Penghijarahan mereka ke Keadilan memaksa lebih 10 cawangan MIC ditutup.
Subramaniam, anak kelahiran Johor, adalah pemimpin MIC paling kanan menyertai PKR. Selain pernah menjadi Naib Presiden MIC dan pernah bertanding untuk jawatan kedua tertinggi parti itu. Subramaniam juga bekas Setiausaha Parlimen Kementerian Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri dan bekas ahli Parlimen Segamat.
Kemasukan Subramaniam dan bekas ahli MIC secara beramai-ramai ke Keadilan mencerminkan rasa tidak puas hati kaum India yang semakin memuncak terhadap
MIC dalam menyelesaikan pelbagai masalah yang membelit kaum India seperti kemiskinan, peluang melanjutkan pelajaran, penganggkuran dan kes jenayah.
Ia juga menunjukkan Keadilan semakin didokong oleh kaum India sebagai parti pelbagai kaum yang mampu memperjuangkan nasib mereka sebaris dengan kaum lain yang memerlukan pembelaan.

While announcing his defection to PKR , Lawyer Palaya says he was very much stunned with prompt action taken by Selangor Menteri Besar YAB Tan Sri Dato Khalid Ibrahim whom within three days took action on his letter regardings a Hindu Cementery in Meru. The Cemetery was gazetted way back in 1925 with over 300 body buried there was degazetted by Barisan Nasional Government to build Stalls . During Barisan Nasional ruling, the Land Office wanted proof that it was a cemetery and bodies buried there. But, when we produce whatever documents available they ask us not to involve as it’s State Assemblyman project.

Veteran Politician Dato S S Subramaniam whom was former Bukit Rajah State Assemblyman and former MP of Segamat says though he is now 72 years, he wanted to make some changes so that our younger generations be benefitted, especially our Education system. He further added that MIC President always look into caste when choicing it’s leaders.
“By God’s grace I don’t have financial problem thus it’s not my intention to support Anwar Ibrahim’s PKR” he further added. Neither do I have any interest in getting any position but I cann’t simply tolerate with BN.

In welcoming Dato S S Subramaniam, Dr Streram Sinnasamy, Mr Palaya and all other MIC leaders Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim says that we are not angry with Samyvelu or MIC, we just wanted Safer Malaysia for every one of us.Refering to Dr Streram’s statement that MIC Selangor AGM recently made resolution to support Prime Minister and Support Samy Velu as it’s President, Anwar asked why cann’t they make resolution asking government on what Happen to Youngster A Kugan whom died in Custody and more than 80 dead custody mostly Indians. Just imagine if it’s was a son of a “Tan Sri” . Note: Police brutality shoot a pregrant woman and her husband who was linked to kidnap of Former Selangor Menteri Besar’s Son.
PKR Defacto leader added that what we need is a New Approach in Malaysian Politics with every one as Anak Malaysia. As what they done in Sarawak, the Indian communities now can get new political parties registered easily. Their aim is to get Indian communities get confused thus dilute your bargaining power and they remain in power forever. I urge Indians to remain united and be with party that will continue to defend their rights , as PKR will continue to defend the right of every citizen.

Pelajar N Kanagaambikai , 10 tahun dari Kampung Perepat ,Parlimen Kapar akan menyambung pelajarannya di Sekolah Tamil Methodist, Kapar mulai minggu hadapan.
Seorang lagi Pelajar dari Sekolah yang sama pula berpeluang menduduki peperiksaan UPSR tahun ini selepas berjaya memperolehi Sijil Kelahirannya . P Magenthiran, 12 dari Ladang Golkanda menerima Sijil Kelahirannya pada hari Isnin ini.
Menurut Pengarah Biro Kebajikan M Ravichandran , N Kanagaambikai telah menemui Manikavasagam pada bulan Februari lalu , manakala P Magenthiran pada bulan March lepas bersama Ibu-bapa masing-masing.
Kecuaian Ibubapa antara punca utama kedua-dua mereka tidak memilik sijil Kelahiran. Anak ke 7 daripada 8 orang P Magenthiran diabaikan oleh ibubapa hampir hilang peluang menduduki peperiksaan UPSR akan datang.
Manakala, Bapa Kanagaambikai akan menghilangkan diri sejak 8 tahun lalu antara punca utama beliau tidak memiliki sijil kelahiran. Ibunya berjaya mendapat sijil dua orang anaknya setelah membayar RM 500 seorang kepada orang tengah , tetapi mereka gagap mendapat Sijil untuk Kagaaambikai walaupun ornag tengah telah mengutip RM500 daripadanya.
Kedua-dua keluarga gembira serta berterima kasih dengan YB S Manikavasagam yang sudi membantu mereka.

Special Announcement By DS Anwar Ibrahim

PKR Defacto Leader YB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim scheduled to meet Indian Community on Saturday 25th July 2009, 4.00 pm at Dewan MBPJ Jalan PJS 4/19 ,Taman Medan, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
YB Dato Seri Anwar is expected to welcome a Senior MIC Leader (Former Member of Parliament) and few branch Chairmen during the special gathering.
Let’s Join us to Hear Anwar’s Special message during the gathering .
Following from Malaysiakini:
A former MP from MIC is expected to move to PKR this Saturday, in conjunction with a special address by PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim for the Indian community in Petaling Jaya.
The expected defection comes hot on the heels of another high profile defection last Saturday, which saw former MCA deputy president Chua Jui Meng jumping to the PKR.
Along with Chua, two other defectors were former MCA senator David Yeoh Eng Hock and former Lumut parliamentarian Yap Yit Thong, giving PKR a much needed boost.
Come Saturday, a large number of MIC grassroots are expected to join the former MP in the PKR, said the main organiser for the event and Kapar MP S Manikavasagam.
“This will result in 10 to 15 MIC branches being dissolved in Petaling Jaya and Meru,” he said, but declined to name the person.
He said PKR was working on attracting more MIC bigwigs to defect, however such announcements would be made in stages.Report Card
Meanwhile, Manikavasagam said Anwar’s speech would be addressing current affairs surrounding the Indian community, such as custodial deaths, land for temples, education and economic issues.
He added that sole ethnic Indian Selangor executive council member Dr Xavier Jayakumar will be delivering a ‘report card’ of the Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government’s contributions to the Indian community.
“He is going to report on what the Selangor govenrment has done, especially in the areas of schools and temples,” he said.
Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim is also scheduled to make an appearance at the event, along with a large contingent of ethnic Indian lawmakers.
The event will be held at the MPSJ community hall in PJS4 at 4pm

Bedong , Kedah- YAB Dato Seri Menteri Besar Menteri Besar Kedah menghadiahkan Tanah seluas 5.5 Ekar kepada SJK (T) Sg Tok Pawang dalam suatu upacara ringkas di sini pada 2 Apr 2009.
Semasa berucap sebelum ucapara pecah tanah, beliau memberitahu bahawa Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Kedah memberikan tanah tersebut tanpa sebarang Caj Premium. Pihak Sekolah hanya perlu membayar Token RM10.00 manakala tidak perlu membayar sebarang Cukai Tanah.

SJKT Sg Tok Pawang diasaskan pada tahun 1935 dengan hanya 20 orang murid dan seorang guru. Pada tahun 1940 , bilangan murid bertambah kepada 50 orang dengan lima buah bilik darjah. Sekolah tersebut di tutup sewaktu peperangan dunia kedua.
Pada tahun 1964, YB Tan Sri V Manickavasagam memperuntukkan RM6000 untuk mendirikan bangunan tambahan. Pada tahun 1996 , sebuah bangunan yang merupakan rumah-rumah pekerja ladang yang dibina pada 1953 di ubahsuai menjadi bilik-bilik darjah dengan hampir 220 orang murid.
Sejak tahun 1986 ,SJKT Sg Tok Pawang menumpnag di Sekolah Kebangsaan sg tok Pawang atas sebab pencemaran alam sekitar kawasan sekolah.
Akhirnya , atas usaha pihak sekolah dengan usaha murni Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Kedah , sekolah tersebut mendapat Tanah seluas 5.5 Ekar pada hari ini.
YAB Dato Seri Menteri Besar berkata, Kerajaan Negeri telah menjalankan tugas mereka dengan jayanya, kini terpulang kepada pihak sekolah untuk berunding mendapatkan peruntukkan RM1.6 juta bagi membina bangunan Sekolah tersebut daripada Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia.
Saya dapat terharu dan perihatin kepada pelajar-pelajar baik yang lepas dan kini yang terpaksa menumpang bilik darjah mereka selama hampir 22 Tahun.

Sejarah Mantin

2009-07-15T08:36:00.000-07:00

Mantin is a town in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. It is under administration of Nilai District. It lies along the main road connecting Kajang and Seremban.
This place has two names, Setul and Mantin. Setul is the name of certain plant called 'Setul'. Setul was the town with a police station. It is not at the present town of Mantin but at the 8th mile Seremban (junction to Lenggeng). The name Setul is still in use, in grants and licenses of land, e.g. Mukim Setul, not Mukim of Mantin. The town of Setul was transferred to Mantin. The present name of Mantin is well known for its tin min owned by a Chinese Towkay (prominent Chinese businessman) Kong Sang (广生号, actually a company's name). The Europeans called the place 'Mine Tin' while the Malays called it 'Mantin' for at this place tin (lumbong timah) was plentiful. The residents of the place could not say 'Mine Tin' correctly and said Mantin instead[1]
The earliest account of Mantin was related to Kapitan Seng Ming Lee (甲必单盛明利), the first Chinese chief who as killed in 1860 in a war between Chinese secret societies (Hai San and Ghee Hin) near Sungei Ujong (presently Seremban)[2]. His descendents fled to Mantin. Today (as of February 2009) the great-grand children of Kapitan Seng still live in Mantin.
Situated in a valley surrounded by hills, Mantin has been a favorite sanctuary and hiding place for war and crime refugees. In addition to Kapitan Seng Ming Li's descendants, large groups of Hakka were said to have migrated here, especially from Titi, during Japanese occupation of Malaya during 1943[3].
The geographical location of Mantin in a valley has made it inaccessible to mainstream transportation, until 1903. A railroad from Kuala Lumpur to Seremban was completed in 1903[4]. The railroad passes through Batang Benar town, thus provided an access point at the western side of the town. At that time, British miners brought in large number of dredgers into Mantin, thus brought about the economic boom. A Singh temple and a Catholic church (St. Aloysius Catholic Church) was build around the turn of the century.

Negeri Sembilan (also Negri Sembilan, Jawi: نڬري سمبيلن), (in English, "the State of nine"), is one of the 13 states that constitutes the Federation of Malaysia. It is located on the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia, just south of Kuala Lumpur and is bordered in the north by Selangor, in the east by Pahang and in the south by Malacca and Johor.
The name is believed to derive from the nine districts or negara (now known as luak) settled by the Minangkabau, a people originally from West Sumatra (present-day Indonesia). Minangkabau features are still visible today in traditional architecture and the dialect of Malay spoken.
Unlike the hereditary monarchs of the other royal Malay states, the ruler of Negeri Sembilan is known as Yang di-Pertuan Besar instead of Sultan. The election of the Ruler is also unique whereby he is selected by the council of Undangs who lead the four biggest districts of Sungai Ujong, Jelebu, Johol, and Rembau, making it one of the more democratic monarchy.

The capital of Negeri Sembilan is Seremban. The royal capital is Seri Menanti in the district of Kuala Pilah. Other important towns are Port Dickson and Nilai.

The Arabic honorific title of the state is Darul Khusus ("the Special Abode").
The ethnic composition in 2005 was:Malay (497,896 or 54.96%), Chinese (220,141 or 24.3%), Indian (137,588 or 15.18%), Other (50,267 or 5.54%).

High Court decision: Sivarasa 1 Sarawak 0

Posted by admin
Friday, 10 July 2009 11:11
(Malaysian Mirror) KUCHING - PKR Member of Parliament for Subang in Selangor and the party’s vice-president Sivarasa K Rasiah was granted leave on Thursday to apply for a judicial review of the Sarawak government’s decision to bar him from entering Sarawak on Feb 14 this year.
The opposition politician had applied for leave to apply for the judicial review of the decision, citing the state Director of Immigration, the State Secretary and Sarawak government as respondents.
The application to apply for leave was heard in open court before Judge Linton Albert.
Appearing for Sivarasa were Baru Bian and See Chow How of Baru Bian & Advocates, a Kuching-based legal firm, and for the respondents senior federal counsel Azizah Narawi.
The PKR legislator was refused entry on Feb 14 this year when he flew in and was told by immigration officers that for some undisclosed reasons he had been placed on the black list and refused entry into Sarawak on the instructions of the State Secretary.
An arguable case, says judge
He was handed a formal notice which stated as follows:
“To: Sivarasa a/l K Rasiah
This serves to notify you that you are refused entry into Sarawak as:
You do not belong to the state of Sarawak and are not entitled to enter the state without a permit or a pass by virtue of section 66(1) of the Immigration Act 1959/1963.
For Director of Immigration, Sarawak”

This article is written by Shweta
I have been reading various views and comments by Malaysians regarding the Hindraf struggle. I personally am not into racial discrimination and I do not condone it. I believe very strongly in working towards a “One Bangsa Malaysia ”. But I also understand where Hindraf is coming from and what they are fighting for. In fact I was rudely awakened to the plight of the poor and marginalized Malaysian Indians only by Hindraf. After looking at their arguments and after much soul searching, I have come to understand that what they are trying to say is of utmost urgency and not to be disregarded lightly as trivial..
Let me explain with an example of a parent and their children. As parents, we will be able to relate to this in a very simple way. Let us say that we have 3 normal kids with a very ill 4th child. The parents will be caring for the normal children as usual but will be giving special attention to the very sick child, who may be in a very critical shape or condition. The more serious a child is, the more concerned the parents will be in taking care of the ailing child, even foregoing paying attention to the other children in the family. They would not even have time to care for themselves.
How do we relate this to Hindraf? Malaysia has been ruled with the divide and rule policy unlike many other nations around the world. We are faced with a different scenario here. Honestly saying, it is a well known fact that everything here is related to race. We are one of the very few countries in the world to have an indisputable race policy for almost every aspect of our daily lives.
Generally whether people want to accept it or not, the other communities like the Malay and Chinese communities in the country are not in such a critical situation. We are talking about the poor marginalized Malaysian Indians who have been neglected by UMNO, MIC and BN in general for 52 years or more. People like you and me who are fortunate enough to have the time to read and write these articles and comments, most likely would not have been exposed to the marginalized Malaysian Indians.
We could always say that MIC is there for them (since they have being claiming as thus all these years.) However they (MIC) have become more concerned with being in power and filling their pockets above everything else and in the process along the way, overlooked the welfare of the Malaysian Indians.
To be honest, who would care for my children better than me? I would have the first love and concern for my family. But that does not make me selfish, but rather makes me a responsible parent. People speak about Hindraf as being racially prejudiced. I do not accept that argument. Those in Hindraf have felt the urgency of the critical condition of the Malaysian Indian community at large and realized no one else has truly come forward to their rescue. Please do not look at the Malaysian Indians who come from the upper stratum of society and living in comfort. The percentage is very low.
If we do not address the critical state of these very much neglected populations of the nation, we will always have to deal with its repercussions. If we can see objectively, we will understand that when we fail to address this problem, we too as a society will be a failed society. We can even compare this to a human body. If one of our organs is failing while everything else is fine, will we be talking about how fine we are as a whole? No! Rather, we will be focusing on reviving that failing organ and once we succeed in taking care of that particular organ we will focus on the health of the body as a whole.
Does this mean that you are neglecting the other parts of the body? Can the other parts complain that you are being discriminatory? My explanation might sound too simplistic to the ‘intellectuals’ around, but do try to understand that we have to address this situation from a different level. We have many others to champion for the rest of the society. We have many socially aware people, NGOs and other activists to ‘speak’ for the wellbeing of the general public.
Who is going to deal with this ailing organ, which is in a critical condition? How critical one may ask. The Malaysian Indian community at this point of time is plagued with various problems such as gangsterism, murder, kidnapping, snatch thefts, drug trafficking, drug addiction, house break ins, extortions, robbery, rape, etc. The majority of those in our prisons come from the Malaysian Indian community too. These social ills are brought about by the poor education they receive and the poverty level of the community at large.
If you say that at this point in time, Hindraf also must immediately address the marginalization of the other races in this nation, why has there been no one jailed under ISA or simply incarcerated for standing up for these communities? And let me answer this: No one else truly believes that some of these communities are in a more critical condition than the Malaysian Indian community in the nation.
It truly saddens me to see people condemning the deplorable state of the poor and marginalized Indians. You do not have to be poor or marginalized to understand their plight. All one needs is a bit of compassion and a clear vision, before going around accusing these people of their social ills. Poverty is a social ill. It is a vicious cycle. I am not trying to give any excuses for them but it will take immense strength, will power, wisdom and some help from others to come out of such a state.
We who read and write here may not be able to understand what they go through. The least we can do is stop being judgmental of them.
So please stop marginalising the Malaysian Indians further by accusing Hindraf as racist!

The joker in the pack : Koh Tsu Koon
July 6, 2009
If Tsu Koon ever got tired of politics, the race-based kind or otherwise, and wanted to move on to something else, I always thought he would do well as a stand-up comedian.
In fact, quite a few in BN would do extremely well.
I don’t mean to make fun of a person’s looks, but don’t you think that if he was slightly worked over in the studion, he could very well stand in as Malaysia’s own Mr. Bean?
Anyway, NSTonline today amply confirmed that Tsu Koon is definitely ‘funny man’ material.
In relation to the ongoing Kampung Lorong Buah Pala land dispute, Tsu Koon is reported to have rebuked Guan Eng for trying to pass the buck and said that the present CM of Penang should just get on with the job.
“When they (the current Penang state government) can’t do something, they will blame either the previous state or Federal Government. That is the trick of their trade”, Tsu Koon said.
Good one, Tsu Koon!
Can’t stop laughing!
