Dr. Asri jangan ceburi politik - Zulkifli Noordin

09/11/2009 10:40pm

KUALA LUMPUR 9 Nov. — Anggota Parlimen Kulim-Bandar Baharu, Zulkifli Noordin hari ini meminta bekas Mufti Perlis, Dr. Mohd. Asri Zainul Abidin supaya tidak menyertai sebarang parti politik untuk menyebarkan dakwah.

Anggota Parlimen dari Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) itu berkata, beliau yakin bahawa Dr. Mohd. Asri tidak akan menghadapi halangan dalam menyebarkan dakwah keagamaan ekoran kedudukannya yang diterima ramai sama ada kerajaan mahupun pembangkang.

"Saya berpendapat bahawa Dr. Asri ini sudah sampai ke peringkat melangkaui politik partisan. Kedudukan dia diterima oleh masyarakat dari semua peringkat.

Saya kira lebih sesuai Dr. Asri main peranan sebagai ulamak non-partisan.

"Dakwah dia itu akan lebih efektif kalau dia kekal dalam kedudukan sekarang (tidak berparti)..sebab dalam politik ini banyak kompromi, banyak konsesi dan dia lebih sesuai dalam keadaan sekarang,” katanya kepada Bernama di lobi Parlimen di sini. - Bernama

Masihkah kau ingat ... Kopratasa

Masih ingat peristiwa ini? Ia merupakan titik permulaan kejatuhan empayar UMNO/BN di Selangor. Jangan sekali-kali kita lupa.

PM questions motive for Dr Mohd Asri's arrest

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has questioned the motive behind the arrest of former Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin.

Dr Mohd Asri, who was arrested on Sunday night, was released on a police bond Monday without being charged.

Najib said that Dr Mohd Asri was a truthful speaker whose talks were always backed by proof and clear dalil (quaranic and Hadith verses).

“I don’t know what is the motive of the arrest. It was done by the state religious agency. It has nothing to do with the Federal Government,” he told reporters on Monday after launching a Pasar Tani convention.

Najib was asked to comment on Dr Mohd Asri’s arrest by the Selangor Religious Affairs Department (JAIS) on Sunday night for allegedly promoting the Wahabi doctrine to supporters

Problems brewing with MCA as well!

I simply don't get it .. that the MCA president and its ex-deputy president getting together for party's unity! That being the case, why do they have to start their stupid rivalry in the first place? Why get together now? Weird..really weird.
What if the EGM favour the president or the deputy ..what then? Will they still sit together and patch things up?

FRankly ... the MCA should just kick both of them out !

Problem brewing with PR partners

With the exception of DAP (really?), troubles seem to be brewing with PKR and PAS. Is this all just a "sandiwara" or Nik Azizi really have to go and Azmin have to be more accommodating to other leaders!

Guan Eng, Anwar and Isa - how they different?

Why is it okay for ex-convicts like Mr Lim Guan Eng (found guilty under OSA) and Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim (found guilty for corruption) to contest in the general election but not Dato Isa Samad? Dato Isa is not even a real convict since he is found guilty by a committee in UMNO. Dato Isa later serves his suspension just like Guan Eng and Anwar who have also serve their jail term.

Why the double standard? Where is the Keadilan given to Dato Isa by PKR, DAP and PAS?

What do you think?

Sultan Pahang mahu rakyat terus sokong kerajaan Barisan Nasional

KUALA KRAU: Sultan Pahang Sultan Ahmad Shah mahu rakyat negeri itu terus menyokong kerajaan Barisan Nasional (BN) agar lebih banyak pembangunan sosial, ekonomi dan pendidikan dapat dilaksanakan untuk faedah mereka.

Baginda bertitah, rakyat perlu terus bersama kerajaan kerana agenda pembangunan yang dirancang dalam jangka pendek dan panjang bakal memberi manfaat berterusan kepada mereka.

Sambil memberi contoh pembinaan jambatan Kuala Krau merentangi Sungai Pahang yang berharga RM64 juta, baginda bertitah usaha itu merupakan agenda pembangunan mampan bagi memberi keselesaan kepada penduduk yang tinggal di kedua-dua belah sungai berkenaan.

"Jambatan Kuala Krau berfungsi memendekkan perjalanan di antara Bandar Tun Razak, Jengka dengan Kuala Krau 20 minit berbanding satu jam sebelum ini yang jaraknya sejauh 55 kilometer.

MyTake : Sultans should keep out of politics.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

Kami mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya dan Selamat Bercuti kepada semua rakyat Malaysia. Maaf Zahir Batin.

Manakala kepada mereka yang berjalan jauh akan BERHATI-HATI DI JALAN RAYA. Semoga selamat sampai ke destinasi yang dituju.

Samy Vellu shows who's boss at MIC elections

2009/09/13

M.K. Megan, B. Suresh Ram and Sajahan Waheed

Palanivel and company sweep top posts.
MIC chief says Indians upset with BN, not him.

KUALA LUMPUR: The president’s men made an almost clean sweep in the party elections, reinforcing the firm grip Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has on the party.

Samy Vellu’s men won the post of deputy president and the three vice-presidencies. They also took 19 of the 23 central working committee posts.

There had been wide speculation that many in the Indian community felt Samy Vellu had overstayed his welcome. But, the results show that the MIC delegates are still behind him.

However, there appears to be an undercurrent of desire for some change at least, as evidenced by the small majorities received by some of Samy Vellu’s men and one of his harshest critics being voted into the CWC.

Incumbent deputy president Datuk G. Palanivel retained his post with a slim margin of 82 votes while the three MIC members of parliament Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam, Datuk S.K. Devamany and Datuk M. Saravanan won the vice-presidencies.

Indonesian students pelt M’sian embassy with rotten eggs

Wednesday September 2, 2009 (STAR Onlione)

About 30 Indonesian students pelted the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta with rotten eggs and attempted to raise an Indonesian flag at the gate on Tuesday. The attack was believed to have been spurred by allegations that the Malaysian national anthem Negara Ku had been copied from the Indonesian song Terang Bulan.

MY TAKE : What is the government going to do for the insult of Malaysia?

Alahai Tun Musa Hitam

Berikut adalah sebahagian daripada temubual Tun Musa Hitam dengan 3 wartawan Utusan yang membicarakan tentang kemelut UMNO dan masalah kepimpinan Melayu. Beliau telah memberikan huraian yang panjang lebar dan menyebut beberapa nama besar dalam UMNO - dulu dan sekarang. Beliau juga turut menyatakan sumbangan besar yang mereka berikan. Malangnya Tun Musa masih dalam “denial mood” kerana individu yang paling banyak mempengarohi dan menentukan scenario politik Melayu pada masa kini tidak disentuh langsung oleh beliau. Individu yang dimaksudkan tidak dan tidak bukan adalah Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. DSAI telah berjaya memecahkan kekuatan politik Melayu kepada 4 iaitu UMNO, PKR, PAS dan kumpulan ‘atas pagar”. Mungkin pengarohi DSAI memang disedari tetapi kerana ego UMNO maka beliau masih dianggap sebagai bukan liabiliti. Selagi UMNO merasakan yakin DSAI bukan satu masalah maka selagi itulah UMNO tidak akan mendapat tempat di dalam hato orang-orang Melalyu. Bagi saya sendiri - saya sangat pening dan sangat risau serta tidak pasti apa yang berlaku nanti kepada nasib orang Melayu.

Ubah pendekatan lapuk

MINGGUAN: Mungkin Tun boleh nyatakan kenapa Tun dilihat agak menyepikan diri sekian lama?

MUSA : Saya sebenarnya sudah lama tidak mahu diwawancara oleh mana-mana akhbar sama ada media cetak atau media elektronik. Lebih-lebih lagi selepas pilihan raya 2004 dan 2008 kerana saya bosan dengan politik yang berlaku dalam negara. Saya ingin bercakap terus terang, saya bosan dengan apa yang terjadi di kalangan UMNO sendiri yang mana saya sendiri pernah memegang pelbagai jawatan dan menjadi ahli berpuluh-puluh tahun dan masih menjadi ahlinya hingga kini.

Kebosanan saya ini adalah bagaimana kerajaan yang telah dipertanggungjawabkan kepada UMNO dan Barisan Nasional (BN) berkecamuk begitu teruk hinggakan kita kalah banyak sama ada di Parlimen dan di Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN). Saya berpendapat tidak guna saya mengadakan sebarang wawancara kerana dibimbangi akan menyuarakan kritikan yang keras. Ini kemudiannya pasti akan mendapat bantahan dari ahli-ahli UMNO sebagai seorang ahli yang tidak setia. Ini kerana kesetiaan kepada UMNO adalah sangat penting.

Waktu saya bercanggah pemikiran dengan Tunku Abdul Rahman bersama dengan Dr. Mahathir apabila saya membuat pengumuman untuk berhenti sebagai Timbalan Menteri selepas tahun 1969, saya telah diminta untuk mengangkat sumpah menyatakan kesetiaan kepada Tunku. Tun Razak telah meminta saya pergi berjumpa Tunku meminta maaf dan menyatakan kesetiaan. Tun Razak begitu rapat dan menjaga saya maka saya bersetuju untuk pergi. Tun Razak mahu ikut tetapi saya tidak mahu beliau turut serta. Namun saya akan tetap menyampaikan pendapat saya. Ini prinsip hidup saya.

Apabila saya meletak jawatan, kenyataan saya ialah akan terus setia kepada parti, bangsa dan negara. Tidak saya sebutkan tentang pemimpin. Tidak ada yang peribadi tetapi itu soal prinsip hidup saya. Bagi saya apabila seseorang pemimpin melakukan sesuatu tindakan yang salah dan tidak boleh diterima rakyat, saya tidak akan menyokongnya. Tidak ada istilah absolute loyalty kepada pemimpin bagi saya. Itu prinsip saya dalam politik.

Maka apabila saya melihat keadaan UMNO yang berkecamuk itu saya melihat adalah lebih baik saya mendiamkan diri. Tidak payahlah saya membuat sesuatu yang menarik perhatian kepada saya sendiri. Namun begitu saya juga memainkan peranan saya dalam diam. Lebih baik begitu dari mengeluarkan kenyataan terbuka kepada umum yang boleh memesongkan rakyat tentang isu sebenar yang berlaku pada waktu itu. Cara saya berbeza, contohnya bila saya berjumpa dengan penganjur penting saya akan luahkan pandangan saya.

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI KEBANGSAAN KE 52 (2009)

SEMOGA MALAYSIA AMAN MAKMUR SENTIASA.

Let Malaysians advertise Pendet and wayang

Riyadi Suparno , The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Thu, 08/27/2009 12:52 PM | Headlines

We Indonesians are simply overreacting in our response to Malaysia's use of the Balinese Pendet dance in promotional TV spots. We are acting like a big brother and bullying our younger brother. And such responses will not help us become a better nation.

First, it was a small protest from a group of Balinese people, the rightful owner of the dance, then unfortunately it grew into a nationwide condemnation of Malaysia.

Just read the comments posted at www.thejakartapost.com or many other Internet forums discussing the issue, and you will easily find many condemnations from Indonesians against Malaysia, some even urging the government to ganyang (invade) Malaysia, invoking memories of the time Indonesia was in confrontation with Malaysia.

Unwisely, the government responded in the same way, with the tourism minister summoning the Malaysian embassy's top official and sending a letter of protest to his counterpart in Kuala Lumpur.

But it did not stop there. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono joined the fray, calling on the Malaysian government to deal more carefully with "sensitive" cultural issues between the two countries.

Our responses have really gone too far. Just read this news from Antara: Diponegoro University (Undip), one of Indonesia's leading institutes of higher learning, has stopped admitting Malaysian students for the 2009-2010 academic year in an expression of "nationalism".

"We have done it as a concrete expression of our sense of nationalism," Undip rector Susilo Wibowo said Tuesday as quoted by Antara, after attending a ceremony to mark the induction of new students.

But we don't know the real reasons behind it. It could be because there were no Malaysian students applying to study at the university this academic year, which begins in July.

The point here is that we just overreacted to this issue, or worse, we tried to bully one of our closest neighbors.

Malaysia uses various Asian cultural expressions, especially Chinese and Indian, in its tourism campaign "Malaysia Truly Asia". China and India have never protested Malaysia's use of their cultural heritage in its tourism campaigns.

Why then are we so angry whenever Malaysia uses our cultural heritage, including the Pendet, batik and wayang in their tourism campaigns? In reality, though, Malaysia has never claimed the Pendet as their dance, batik as their craft or wayang as their performance.

These are Indonesian cultural expressions brought to Malaysia by the millions of Indonesians who moved there, mostly as migrant workers.

If it's an issue of rights, we don't have copyrights for most of our cultural products. Much, if not the majority of our cultural heritage, was created by our ancestors for the good of society and mankind.

For instance, many of our best classical Javanese gamelan compositions were written by anonymous composers. They were composed for the kings and the people, and the composers deliberately did not put their names there, much less copyrighted them.

Before Indonesia existed, anyone could play these compositions, even people from outside the Javanese kingdom. Now that Indonesia exists, does it mean nobody outside Indonesia can play and use them in their tourism campaigns, even if they have gamelan groups in their own countries?

Currently, hundreds of gamelan groups exist outside Indonesia. If they wish to promote their groups or if their country wishes to use these gamelan groups to promote tourism, they have every right to use gamelan images in their campaign.

Thus instead of getting angry or sending letter of protests or stopping admitting Malaysian students, we should be more positive and collaborate with the Malaysian government to promote our culture in that country.

When there are more Malaysians dancing the Pendet and playing the gamelan and to Indonesian pop songs, it will only mean more benefits, and not losses, to Indonesia. It will mean more commerce and tourism between the two countries.

Not only that, it would also strengthen cultural ties between the two nations.

Similarly, if Malaysia advertises more Indonesian cultural heritage, it would bring more benefits than losses to us.

Let says, Malaysia advertises the Pendet, and tourists go there because of the advertisement. There is a great chance these tourists will continue on to Bali to see the Pendet at its source. So it not only saves us precious advertising dollars - which we rarely ever spend anyway - but also brings in dollar from more tourist visits.

So let Malaysians dance our Pendet and play our wayang and advertise them. It will only do good things for us in Indonesia.

Ijazah palsu?

Sudah ramaikah rakyat Malaysia yang membeli ijazah2 kedoktoran dan ijazah kehormat dewasa ini? Amalan ini mengikut STAR Online sudah lama berlaku dan telah melibatkan orang yang terkenal dan berkuasa. Kenapa mereka sanggup menipu? Contohnya pada satu masa dulu heboh diperkatakan terdapat seorang artis yang telah memperolehi ijazah Kedokotoran yang sedemikian.

Adakah huraian di bawah ini merujuk kepada artis berkenaan?

Bar Council Supports PR?

PRESS STATEMENT by Bar Council

In response to inquiries from the media, we wish to clarify Rohaizat Othman's status as an advocate and solicitor.
The Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board struck Rohaizat Othman off the Roll of Advocates and Solicitors on 7 March 2008 after he was found guilty of misconduct. The Disciplinary Board's decision arose from an investigation into the complaint lodged against Rohaizat Othman by the purchaser of a piece of real property. According to the complaint, Rohaizat Othman failed to refund almost RM 161,000 to the complainant after the transaction was aborted.

Rohaizat Othman appealed against the decision of the Disciplinary Board to the High Court, and the appeal was dismissed on 12 August 2009. He is therefore legally disqualified from practising as an advocate and solicitor.
The finding of misconduct is personal to Rohaizat Othman, as the Disciplinary Board would not hold a lawyer liable for the actions of his/her law partner(s).

MACC makes arrest in abuse of funds probe

By LOURDES CHARLES (The STAR Online 15 August 2009)

KUALA LUMPUR: An aide to Selangor exco member Ronnie Liu has been arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist in investigations into alleged abuse of development funds worth about RM500,000 by several state assemblymen.

Wong Chuan How, 51, who is also a Sepang municipal councillor, was arrested after a brief scuffle with MACC officers at about 9.450am at his Sungai Pelek service centre near Sepang.

My Take : Hasn't the MACC learned anything about to how to arrest and treat their suspects yet? I saw the video clip on TV of arrest and I'm not sure what really happened although it was claimed by the MACC that the suspect fell during the struggle. I have to see the video again if its available anywhere ..

BN to recapture Selangor

PM tells UMNO members to work hard to win back Selangor from Pakatan. But UMNO needs more that just hard work.

They must ...

1. Make sure Khir Toyo is put a side

2. Make sure Mike Tyson is not in the picture as well

3. Get rid of SYABAS

4. Apa lagi ............

You decide what else .....

Gula tak cukup ?

Kalau anda menaiki kereta dari Ipoh ke KL seperti saya 2 hari lepas dan singgah di bandar2 seperti Tapah, Slim River dan Tg Malim untuk membeli gula, jangan terkejut jika pekedai mengatakan "Gula tak ada! Dah 2 mungkin kami order tapi belum sampai lagi". Bukan saya ke KL untuk cari gula ada tujuan lain tetapi sengaja singgah kerana kedai mamak depan rumah dah tiada gula.

Saya saya hairan bagaimana jadi begitu. Ke mana pergi gula? Kita ada 2 kilang gula yang besar. Satu laporan TV mengatakan bahawa pekan2 di sempadan di utara mempunyai lambakan gula Malaysia yang banyak. Harganyalebih mahal daripada RM 1.50 di sini.

Apabila saya sampai di KL saya terus ke sebuah Mall terkenal dan di situ saya beli gula - 10 paket! Mana tahu entah bila akan ada gula di kedai mamak di depan saya itu. Ini bukan "panic buying" tapi apa hendak dikatakan.

Harap pihak yang berkenaan dapat mengawal perkara ini secepat mungkin. Cukuplah dengan H1Ni dan jerebu. Jangan ditambah satu lagi masalah.

Kenapa banyak sangat accident di Malaysia?

Kalau anda seorang pemandu maka tentu anda pernah diberitahu oleh mekanik supaya ”rotate” tayar selepas satu jangkamasa. ”Rotate” adalah menukar tayar depan ke belakang dan sebaliknya. Ini kerana tayar depan cepat haus (hilang bunga) bagi kereta front-wheel drive. Bila tayar depan dah botak, bahaya kata mekanik/penjual tayar. Kita dinasihat ”rotate”. Tetapi sila lihat video di bawah - Mungkin nasihat mekanik/penjual tayar selama ini salah. Mungkin ini punca banyak perlanggaran di Malaysia.

Showdown at Mesjid Negara - AntiISA, ProISA & thePOLICE

Pic (STAR Online, 1 August 2009)

Once again, we have an all out protest against the ISA.

Fighting for their beliefs and ideals?

Fortunately, we have the police but pity them - for they will eventually get the blame. Their presence is to avoid any untoward incident.

Hope all are fine but with thousands of angry and unreasonable human beings whose to say!

Subra yang mana satu masuk PKR?

Dua minggu lepas, bekas orang kuat MCA, Dato' Chua Jui Meng telah menyertai PKR setelah beberapa berdolak-dalik..

Minggu lepas, seorang lagi bekas orang kuat parti kali ini daripada MIC juga turut menyertai PKR. Tetapi ramai yang keliru apabila mendengar "lompatan" kedua kerana di dalam MIC terdapat beberapa orang kuat yang juga bernama Subramanian.

Oleh itu adalah tidak mengejutkan apabila orang ramai menyangkakan Dato' S. Subramanian iaitu bekas Timbalan Presiden (gambar kiri) orang yang dimaksudkan tetapi beliau masih lagi dalam MIC dan akan bertanding jawatan Timbalan Presiden kelak. Seorang lagi adalah Dr. S. Subramanian iaitu Menteri Sumber Manusia sekarang (Gambar kanan). Ada lagi tetapi mungkin tidak kuat sangat.

Jika anda ingin tahu Subramanian yang sebenar , boleh lihat video di bawah.

H1N1 menular ke seluruh negara1

Wabak H1N1 yang mula merebak tanpa kaedah piawai dari pihak berkuasa untuk mengawalnya telah meragut 4 nyawa. Bagaimana ini boleh berlaku? Adakah rakyat Malaysia masih tidak sedar dan faham akibat jika wabak H1N1 ini tidak dibendung sepenuhnya. Pada masa ini beberapa IPTA seperti UiTM, USM dan UPSI telah pun ditutup setelah pelajar2 mereka positif H1N1. Penutupan adalah standard yang ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan. Tapi adakah ini satu cara membendung atau hanya membantu penularan lebih pantas?

Dapatkah penutupan IPTA ini dapat menghalang H1N1 daripada merebak? Ramai yang bertanya apabila pelajar2 kembali ke kampung siapa yang akan memantau mereka. Membenarkan mereka pulang ke kampung akan membantu penularan berlaku dengan lebih cepat. Kem. Kesihatan telah meminta semua pelajar berkenaan supaya membuat pemantauan kendiri tapi pastikah kita mereka mampu dan berpengetahuan melakukannya?

Pergerakan di sempadan keluar masuk rakyat dan pelancung pula semacam tiada kawalan. Apa yang berlaku?

Mereka juga rasis – Dr. Mahathir

“ KAMPALA 27 Julai – Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad berpendapat, mereka yang menuduh beliau rasis semata-mata kerana mempertahankan kepentingan orang Melayu dan menyuarakan hakikat kedudukan semasa kaum tersebut, juga merupakan orang yang rasis. -

Bekas Perdana Menteri itu juga menyatakan tidak terkejut dengan tuduhan tersebut ekoran tulisannya dalam blognya Che Det yang bertajuk ‘Kaki Dalam Kasut’ kerana dirinya pernah dicap sebagai ‘pelampau Melayu’ oleh golongan yang sama sebelum beliau menjadi perdana menteri “- (Dalam Utusan Malaysia 28 Julai 2009)

Saya sentiasa mengikuti blog Tun dan saya ada perasaan benci-suka (love-hate) dengan setiap tulisan beliau. Tetapi pandangan yang mengatakan beliau seorang rasis saya kira agak melampau. Saya sangat bersetuju dengan Tun apabila beliau mengatakan mereka yang menuduh beliau rasis adalah sebenar seorang rasis juga.. “What you said is who you are!”

Di Malaysia semua orang adalah rasis. Tiada seorang pun yang tidak rasis kerana setiap orang akan sentiasa memberi kelebihan pada bangsa atau golongan mereka.

Kita juga lihat dalam arena politik, banyak parti yang mengatakan mereka parti pelbagai kaum. Tetapi lihatlah keanggotaan dan perjuangan mereka. DAP atau Gerakan misalnya adalah parti orang Cina, PPP adalah parti India, PAS adalah parti Melayu dan PKR juga parti Melayu. Mungkin adalah dua tiga orang yang bukan bangsa berkenaan dalam parti tetapi mereka selalu disogokan dengan kedudukan supaya parti berkenaan nampak seperti pelbagai kaum.

Parti yang tidak rasis hanyalah parti taperware yang sering aruah emak saya pergi.

We will miss you Yasmin Ahmad

Puan Yasmin Ahmad passed away yesterday. Her unexpected demise has shocked all of us. We will miss her as a person who was able to break the racial barrier within the Malaysian film industry where Malay films are always considered Malaysian but not the others. Her "Sepet" for example is a film for all Malaysian. It is a revelation and a learning experience for Bangsa Malaysian. It is a 1Malaysia well before our PM came up with it.

In her lifetime, she have always been a controversial figure because she speak with frankness without any ulterior motive - politically or monetary. She will be remembered for her films and her heart-warming advertisement especially the Hari Kebangsaan ad. which touch us all no matter who we are or where we comes from, she make us all the same.

Al- Fatihah and May Allah Blessed her ... Amin.

MU to play Malaysia again!

1. 

1. 
   

Unbelievable that Malaysia get to see MU in action one more time here although I would prefer Liverpool but having Owen sort of make up some of the disappointment. The bombings in Jakarta were the reason for this change of plan and MU refuse to fly into Jakarta for safety reason and nothing else.

I hope that the Indonesian who have never appreciate being second placed to Malaysia will not blamed this latest turn of event to us Malaysian although Noordin Mohd Top is Malaysian but we are not sure if he's the culprit yet. Indonesian has always hated everything about Malaysia even though many of their citizens are here either legally or otherwise.

As for the Malaysian team (or maybe having some Indonesian players would be a good idea) will not let us down. They have to show MU that the first game is no fluke and they can really play football. Who knows, Alex Ferguson might pick one or two for trial at MU. Hard luck, no chance.

Go Malaysia! And for the FAM President .. Please do something to the league. Having top teams in Malaysia is not enough. Make Malaysia football shine one more time, many times over!

PPSMI dimansuhkan akhirnya

Akhirnya setelah 6 tahun dilaksanakan dan sentiasa dilanda konstroversi maka kahirnya PPSMI ( Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics in English) dimansuhkan juga. Pemansuhan lengkap akan berlaku pada tahun 2012 nanti. Sebagai seorang yang terlibat secara langsung dengan program latihan guru-guru sains maka saya menyokong tindakan yang telah diambil oleh KPM. Ramai yang telah menjangkakan bahawa kerajaan akan mengenepikan PPSMI dan itulah yang berlaku. Persoalannya adakah ianya satu keputusan yang betul. Jika TPM mahu perkara PPSMI ini selesai selepas beliau memgumumkan keptusan kerajaan maka itu tidak berlaku. Polimik tentang terus menerus berlaku dan kali ini ianya diterajui oleh Tun Mahathir sendiri, insan yang telah menolak pelaksanaannya dahulu. Namun begitu ramai juga yang beranggapan bahawa kerajaan memansuhkan PPSMI kerana tertekan dengan tuntutan orang-orang Melayu sendiri.

Namun apa jua alasannya, pada pandangan saya PPSMI perlu dimansuhkan kerana ia adalah satu program yang gagal dan tidak nampak usaha yang bersungguh oleh mereka yang melaksanakannya terutama guru-guru sains untuk memastikan ianya berjaya. Selama 6 tahun, kebanyakan guru tidak dapat mengajar 100% dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Terdapat banyak sebab mereka bertindak demikian termasuklah kurang kemahiran, hinggalah kepada pelajar yang tidak dapat memahami isi kandungan apabila diajar 100% dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Manik Urai

Sudah agak lama juga saya tidak menulis di blog kerdil ini tetapi keputusan piliharaya kecil Manik Urai tempoh membuat saya berdetik untuk menulis sesuatu tentangnya. Ini adalah kerana walaupun BN mengalami kekalahan di Manik Urai tetapi nampaknya puak-puak UMNO sangat berpuas hati kerana telah dapat mengecilkan majoriti yang diperolehi oleh PAS dalam pemilihan umum terdahulu. Dan bagi PAS pula, sudah semestinyalah mereka teramat sangat puas hati kerana berjaya mengekalkan kerusi di tangan mereka walaupun dengan majoriti yang kecil. Bak kata Tun Mahathir, kalau menang dengan kelebihan 1 undi sekalipun, ianya tentang dianggap kemenangan. Saya sendiri sangat suka melihat reaksi kedua-dua parti yang terlibat. Pada pandangan saya jika reaksi ini menjadi reaksi kita pada setiap kali pilihanraya alangkah bagusnya. Menang atau kalah semua puas hati dan tak payah gadoh-gadoh lagi.

Spekulasi: Isu Peralihan Kuasa Perdana Menteri, Perletakan Jawatan Pak Lah Diterima Tetapi Yang Di Pertuan Agong Tangguhkan Perlantikan Najib

Lambaian Pak Lah mungkin tidak seceria lambaian Najib

KUALA LUMPUR [1.30 pm] - Ini satu berita panas yang pasti mendebarkan. Pihak kami baru sahaja mendapat satu berita yang paling eksklusif dari Istana Negara sebentar tadi. Ia berkaitan isu peralihan kuasa antara Pak Lah dan Najib Razak. Menurut maklumat Yang di- Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan telah memperkenankan perletakan jawatan Pak Lah, tetapi Tuanku mohon perlantikan Najib Razak sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-6 esok pagi ditangguhkan. Apapun kami masih menunggu maklumat lanjut berhubung dengan berita ini. Patutlah ketika keluar dari Istana sebentar tadi Najib kelihatan tidak ceria dan tidak mahu bercakap kepada pihak media yang sedang menunggu beliau. Cuba lihat dua laporan terkini akhbar arus perdana berkenaan perkara ini.-pahangDaily

Jelas semuanya satu pembohongan

RM25 juta untuk YB Hee Yit Foong?

Seperti biasa RPK tidak mahu berselindung di mana-mana ...i tu sebeb kita semua suka dengan RPK.

His latest accusation …

“ …… (YB Hee Yit Foong) was also the key person in getting V. Sivakumar removed from the (assembly) hall like a sack of (rotten) potatoes. And she (YB Hee Yit Foong) was paid RM25 million to cross over to Barisan Nasional …….. ……….Whatever it may be, the thing that prompted her to abandon, the party that no longer appreciated her services was the RM25 million that Vincent Tan of Berjaya paid her. Yes, she was paid a cool RM25 million in cash” – RPK. Parentheses mine.

Klasik la RPK ... itu bermakna YB Hee pula bertindak kerana jika tidak semua akan mengatakan bahawa RPK berkata benar.

Bila yang BANGANG 2 jadi wakil rakyat !!

The STAR Online – 7th May 2009

Chaos reigned at the Perak state assembly sitting on Thursday with assemblyman from both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat arguing with each other and even involved in minor scuffles. The main order of the day was the appointment of a new Speaker, with Datuk R.Ganesan receiving the nod from the Barisan assemblyman and Independents. Former Speaker V. Sivakumar was eventually forcibly removed from his seat after about a five-hour standoff.

…… What more can be said? Idiots all of them from both sides of the assembly. These adults are hooligans who should be ashamed of themselves. No respect whatsoever to the Raja Muda..

What's up with all these singing contests?

Many years ago, we only have BINTANG RTM. I could still remember Taufik Latif voice’s very clearly as he introduced the “pertandingan akhir Bintang RTM”. We also have excellence singers from Bintang RTM such as Jamal, Sudir and Siti. Now we still have Bintang RTM and we have other competitions as well. In fact, we have so many of them and we wonder if Malaysian truly can sing. Many dream to make it big as singers. Almost all of them will keep on dreaming. Some of the singing contests are Akademi Fantasia (AF), One in A Million (OIAM), Mentor, Gangstar, MyStar LG, Bintang RTM, Malaysia Idol and many more. Where are they taking our youths? Rais Yatim should put a stop to all these nonsense …

What's up with Nizar and Zambry in Perak?

After the last election, ADUNs from DAP assumed one of them will be MB in Perak since they have the numbers (compared to PAS and PKR). However, the Perak constitutions state that the MB must be Malay/Muslim. Frustrated, the DAP protested and even want to boycott the swearing in ceremony of the MB (Nizar of PAS). To the DAP, why not a MB from their party. Why must an ADUN from PAS with only 2 seats be the MB.

As for Nizar, he is MB not because he have the support but because of the constitutions. Without the Sultan consent, he will not be the MB! Now it is very strange that he is challenging the same state’s constitution that made him MB.

Going back, after realising that their ADUN will not be the MB, DAP suggested Jamaluddin of PKR to beone because the DAP thought they can manipulate the MB and be their puppet (but Nizar is already a puppet). However, the Sultan will not have this . He wants the MB to be one of sound educational background, and so in come Nizar. Therefore, Nizar would not be MB if not for the Sultan insistence. Without the palace’s support, Nizar will just another ADUN from PAS.

Now, the table turned and the support of the Sultan is with Zambry. Therefore, Nizar should support him just like Zambry supported him then. Both need the support of the Sultan as MB. However, Nizar had lost this support and have been transferred to Zambry.

Having said all of the above, I strongly believes that the BN should dissolve the Perak State assembly. The final decision should be with the rakyat. A new election shall be the test to PR's solidarity. Many are saying that the DAP will be fielding several Malays as their candidate so that one of them will be the next Perak MB . Where will Nizar/PAS be then ?

What up with Peter?

Raja Petra Kamarudin did not attend court today. It's not like him. I was told early this week that he had left for England but I didn't think Pet was one to run.His lawyer J. Chandra informed judge Rozina Ayob that his client did not turn up in court on the grounds he is on a self-imposed exile from the state for “reasons that are well known.”

..... I hope that Pete (?) is safe. Just wondering why he is hidding? I hope that he'll be a man and be counted! Don't hide behind the so-called self -exiled .....

He was buried in the presence of family members and hundreds of supporters and well-wishers.
It was a day in which emotions were on edge. The drama started in the vicinity of the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) in Petaling Jaya when the Field Reserve Unit (FRU) and the Light Strike Force were deployed, creating a massive jam at about 9:30am.
The units were placed there in anticipation of a large crowd for the procession that would begin at the UMMC mortuary where Kugan’s body was being kept, Petaling Jaya police chief Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed said.
By 11am, that expected large crowd had materialised, even before Kugan’s family arrived at about noon.

This is not good for the country. Everybody must be more responsible in whatever actions that they are going to take due this unfortunate incident.

The POLICE - They will have to come clean and must failrly explain to the rakyat about the death of Kugan ... whatever his offence, he should be given a fair trial. That's his right as a citizen. The police promise that they are going to investigate this case further and we hope that they will be do it in a fair and proffesional manner.

The POLTICIAN - They should not exploit Kugan's death for their own personal agenda. We see politics from both the government and oppositions during the procession and we hope they are sincere about their presence there. They must not instigate the rakyat further to do things that can evolve into something nasty.

The FAMILY - We truly understand their feelings. To lose a member of ones' family is always a sad occasion, what more under this circumstances. They should fight for an independent inquiry to determine fairly the death of the son.

MALAYSIAN - We as the rakyat should not treat this incident politically and racially. It is just an unfortunate event. As rakyat we all need answer, not only for the late Kugans but most importantly for us all. What happen to Kugan can easily happen to anyone of us, no matter who we are or what we are.

What's up with us Malaysian? Are we turning into a violent society?

( Somali student’s fatal vacation >By Aizat Sharif - January 23, 2009


Another Wangsa Maju mob attack, another African dead. Somalian Kadar Abdul Kadir Said, 22, had been looking forward to hanging out with his friends during the long semester break. Instead, he is now dead.


(Can the police enlightened us about this unfortunate incident?)


The business administration student from Insaniah University College in Alor Setar, Kedah, died after a senseless attack that was eerily reminiscent of the one that claimed the life of a Chad student last September, about one kilometre away. Kadar, from Mogadishu, was savagely beaten by a mob of 17 who, eyewitnesses claimed, were high on alcohol.


(The Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Higher Education and Home should come together and look into these incidents for they are not totally isolated cases. There seem to be a tendency amongst the locals (Malaysian) to treat foreigners (especially African) with bad feeling and intentions. There could many reasons for this but most probably the several cases involving a few Africans with criminal activities such as the "black money scams" had created a sort of unfair assumptions about these students from Africa. This is something that the three ministries must sort out and muinvestigate upon and see what the real reasons for this things to happen and what can they do to help. The ministers concern must do everything in their power to try to educate Malaysian regarding this as well. I heard that in some of the colleges where they go to, they are intentionally outcast by their fellow students. Many of them claimed that Malaysian students refuse to be friend with them and refuse to study together. Is this true?

We must remember that not all of these students have criminals intentions. They are here to study and to learn from us! Why are we treating likewise?

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

WISHING ALL MALAYSIAN CHINESE A HAPPY NEW YEAR. May this year be more prosperous than the last one. Enjoy this holidays with YOUR family and friends. If your're travelling home, please drive safely. KONG HEE FATT CHOY.

Obama to Shut Guantánamo Site

WASHINGTON — President Obama is expected to sign executive orders Thursday directing the Central Intelligence Agency to shut what remains of its network of secret prisons and ordering the closing of the Guantánamo detention camp within a year, government officials said.

First of all, let all of us welcome Barack Hussien Obama as the "most powerful man in the world" in place of the "the idiotic man of the world". But for the time being, I am not going to bet my last dollar on Obama. Mr Obama has got to walk the talk and to convince us all that he is for real, he is elected for what he is, and for his ability.

The world hailed him as the first black president for USA because his father a Kenyan and is black BUT many forget that his mother is white and from Hawaii. This means he as much a white man and an American that he is a black man and a foreigner.

What's up FAM ...Wake-up!

The football scene in Malaysia today is not like the football scene at my kampong (many years ago) In those days we have many football matches between kampongs. The matches were really of high standard eventhough players are just fishermen or rubber tappers. They played for the love of the game not for MONEY! There are no pros .... no league ....no managers ... just kampongs kids who want to have fun .... Now .... its all gone ...

What is our ranking? Can we beat South Korea? The FAM need HUGE renovation work !!!!

What's up with Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi ...

Pegawai Kerajaan Persekutuan dilarang hadir mesyuarat negeri (mStar 20/1/2009)

IPOH:
Semua pengarah jabatan dan agensi Kerajaan Persekutuan dilarang daripada menghadiri mesyuarat-mesyuarat di peringkat negeri berkuat kuasa serta-merta.
(This very stupid ... the BN still never learn !!!)

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi berkata, hanya pengarah agensi peringkat negeri yang dibenarkan menghadiri mesyuarat negeri, yang dipengerusikan oleh Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri atau pegawai daerah.
(Ahmad Hamidi is a nice man but he should realised that the present government is democratically elected by the rakyat).

"Kita tidak akan teragak-agak untuk mengambil tindakan disiplin terhadap pengarah agensi Persekutuan jika mereka menghadiri mesyuarat tersebut," katanya kepada media selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Majlis Tindakan Persekutuan Negeri di sini, hari ini.
(This is something I really want to see ... BN is rally in deep shit here !!!!)

Ahmad Zahid yang merupakan Pengerusi Majlis Tindakan Persekutuan Negeri bagaimanapun berkata, agensi-agensi seperti Jabatan Pengarain dan Saliran, Jabatan Kerja Raya, Jabatan Kesihatan, Jabatan Pertanian dan polis dikecualikan daripada larangan itu.
(I think the BN is doom in Perak. They are just so stubborn and are not willing to change and to learn from the many mistakes made by them especially during Ngah Talib stewardship)

Ahmad Zahid berkata, berkuat kuasa serta-merta juga, agensi-agensi persekutuan hanya akan menerima syor yang dikemukakan Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung Persekutuan (JKKKP). ..
( Another stupid innovation by UMNO ... This JKKKP is actually the previous JKKK which is then under UMNO banner. They were useless then and they are still useless .. even if they called themselves JKKKP. LEARN UMNO...LEARN)

"Jabatan-jabatan dan agensi-agensi persekutuan telah diarahkan supaya hanya menerima borang-borang yang ditandatangani JKKKP," katanya.

(Conclusion .. if this kind of behaviour persists ... I am sure the BN and UMNO will not be able to govern again in Perak.!!!!!!)

What's up BN/UMNO ... PAS won !!!

As expected PAS defeated BN. Many claimed this defeat is Pak Lah's. I disagree. We must remember Pak La is strategically "missing" in KT during the campaign. This might be what he wants since he is accused to be many things by UMNO but never as the man who brings political reform to our country. Tuan Guru Haji Haji complemented Pak lah for his Leadership that enable election to much cleaner that during previous premiership notably Dr M. Congratulation to PAS. And as usual PAS extended their thanks to SPR for the win. However I wonder what would PAS say about the SPR if they lost the by-election?

What do I want in life?

I have always wanted to start a blog but I can't think of a theme to blog about. Just yesterday that I decided to blog about life. Since its about life so it can be about anything. I will not try to dictate anything to whoever happen to drop by and I don't expect people to agree with me. In fact if they don't like my views then that is good. There are so many things that I wanted to do and I have not been able to do yet. The Perak house is taken from BankRakyat's .
