Appalled by 'no further action' against Nasir Safar

MCA is aghast with a reply by Minister in a Prime Minister's Department Nazri Aziz in Parliament which there was deficient evidence to prove intention on a partial of Safar to stimulate secular ill-will, according to subsection 3(1) of a Sedition Act 1948 despite his undeniable labeling of Chinese as well as Indians in Malaysia as pendatangs as well as anxiety to Chinese women as prostitutes. The logic which a labels referred to mercantile migrants as well as not locally-born Chinese or Indians is pathetically scornful to a early arrivals of a ancestors who contributed tremendously towards as well as growth, growth as well as wealth of a beloved nation. This logic is flawed, as well as therefore unacceptable to open sensibilities. But, to give Nasir Safar a benefit of a doubt, if his extremist remarks were not targeted at Malaysian Chinese as well as Indians, is he alluding which a Chinese were fleeing China for domestic purposes given a domestic misunderstanding in China as well

It has been said so most times that there is a myth "that Sabah as good as Sarawak joined a Federation of Malaya that was afterwards re-named Malaysia." There is no misconception. Go during a back of to a early 60s. Britain was effete, weakened by a fight as good as not prepared to cling to upon to colonies. Distant security similar to North Borneo as good as Sarawak of little or no mercantile or strategic worth had to be "disposed of" somehow. Parking them with a newly-independent as good as utterly fast Federation of Malaya seemed a logical choice, as good as so Tunku was arm-twisted to take in North Borneo as good as Sarawak to, inter alia, protect them from Sukarno's Indonesia. Singapore had a own reasons for "merger". Lee Kuan Yew's People's Action Party, after dual critical by-election waste in Hong Lim as good as Anson as good as faced with a breakaway coterie called a Barisan Socialis with absolute as good as influential former comrades

Wee quitting a betrayal of Wangsa Maju folk

I read with offend at the ultimate headlines which Wangsa Maju MP Wee Choo Keong has finally quit PKR. Such an act is the profanation of the Wangsa Maju citizens who inaugurated him upon the PKR ticket. If Wee has any honour left in him, he should usually resign from his chair as well as re-contest with dignity as an eccentric candidate. To give the forgive which which he had resigned since of the way PKR as well as the Selangor state supervision had handled the purported crime liaison involving the state-owned mining association is the sore one. The Selangor menteri besar has given his assurances to Kapar MP S Manikavasagam which he has nothing to fear as the state supervision would be investigating the allegation. It boggles my mind as to how the singular matter can prompt the Wangsa Maju MP to usually chuck in the towel as well as acknowledgement which he is 'disappointed' with the care as well as apropos an eccentric MP. It usually shows up his miss of care in the matter,

Press Statement by Chin Shu Ying, LDP Youth Leader

I titillate a Prime Minister to action bravely to mislay this organisation of bad apples from BN. We contingency confess to a actuality that there is a organisation of hurtful as well as conceited leaders in BN as well as they have been causing great repairs to a reputation as well as recognition of BN. I impute to a press conference by Tanjung Kapor Assemblyman YB Teo Chee Kang on a stop of eight internal village leaders in his constituency. Clearly, once again, this is a move to criticise LDP by sure leaders in UMNO.This organisation of UMNO leaders that have campaigned opposite LDP candidates in a final ubiquitous choosing with a goal of wiping out LDP failed to grasp their disagreeable intention when all LDPs candidates won in a final election.Their action of profanation was reported to a BN Chairman after a choosing though a UMNO tip care does not have a guts to deal with this organisation of internal warlords. As such, no action is taken opposite them although there is plenty ex

Oil and Sudan

Oil, Genocide as well as Islam. Where does Malaysia stand upon these issues? By Hakim JoeTalk about Sudan as well as most Malaysians will recollect Darfur as well as a charitable catastrophe where some-more than dual hundred thousand of a inhabitants died during this civil conflict. Talk about oil as well as most Malaysians will think about a Middle East nations as well as of course Petronas. How most layperson will however will be able to bond Sudan with inorganic substance or the fact which a very life of oil in Sudan is causing these deaths?Sudan has been an exporter of crude oil given 1999 as well as is currently a 17th fastest growing economy in a world (even after being economically sanctioned by a Americans given 2006). Predominantly of a Islamic faith, Sudan is fundamentally distant into dual regions - a Northern Sudan where a Afro-Arabs Muslims live as well as a Southern part where a non-Arab Afro Muslims reside, as well as a Darfur War is fundamentally an armed dispute betwe

I consider Martin Jalleh in Malaysia Today wrote an glorious essay to etch the stream scenario. It is not about politics, it is about what you divided wish in the common clarity when it is the law as well as reality which faces those who goal in despair. By R. Shan (Human Being) UMNO as well as the coolies have been full of themselves to maintain their standing quo; PAKATAN is forever riddled with their in-fighting, justifications as well as all underneath the sun in their new-found power bestowed by the Makkal Sakthi, the musical instrument call of People Power naturally after the uprising of HINDRAF. These days, they would even alienate as well as chastise this for their domestic survival. The open is right divided in full-fledged flailing mode. Just two years ago, all was Makhal Sakthi upon the height of goal as well as change. Hope which things would improve, by relocating divided from the UMNO facism of the prior 53 years. Frankly, what difference have PAKATAN made? As

Gambling a civil right but freedom of expression isn't?

It's as well bad the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Nazri Aziz, resorted to stereotype notions of 'non-Muslims' as well as cock-eyed ideas of what constitutes their rights. 'You contingency recollect that the nation does not go to the Muslims. There have been things that infrequently non-Muslims do, for example, gambling. It is their culture, their way of hold up as well as you have to apply oneself their rights' was his headline-grabbing statement on Jun 20. And Nazri is positively right that the nation does not go to the Muslims. He is also correct to demand that Muslims have to apply oneself non-Muslim rights, nonetheless he should have combined 'and vice-versa'. But he is positively wrong to indicate that gambling is the non-Muslim 'way of life' that ought to be respected. This is the cock-eyed view of what constitutes non-Muslim culture, even reduction that it is the non-Muslim right that contingency be respected. First of al

Kangaroo court hearing for Sivakumar?

I refer to the Malaysiakini inform Speaker vs speaker: Sivakumar loses appeal . There are dual unfortunate things in this report. Even if the row had discussed the case during lunch time, there were still the some-more than dual hours long submission and reply by Chan Kok Keong after which Juctice Malik pronounced the interest was discharged unanimously, without even seeking left or right. Shouldn't these submissions additionally have been discussed by the panel? After all, the idea of hearings is to persuade the row to change the mind and win the decision by majority. And Malik's remarks on costs were really telling. When Ganesan's counsel asked for RM20,000 costs, Malik said, 'Can we give you more?' meaning which he should have asked for some-more and he would have been since more. Was the decision pre-ordained, we wonder?

Sports Betting

Dr Rais pronounced which a income from sports betting will be usually used to financial a underneath absolved non-Muslims. Now all non-Muslims will be beholden to BN as well as you will opinion BN. By Krishna M SinghEvery mothers son in UMNO, MCA, a newspapers as well as NGOs have had their contend upon because Sports betting should be legalized. Suddenly, a UMNOputras have started to champion a rights of a non-Malays, especially a rights to a Chinese, to gamble. The Chinese should right away be beholden as well as recollect to opinion BN.Dr Rais even went upon to contend which a income from sports betting will be usually used to financial a underneath absolved non-Muslims. Now all non-Muslims will be beholden to BN as well as you will opinion BN.The police have been out each time upon raids as well as scoring success after success in catching those involved in bootleg betting. Even VIPs have been involved in running these syndicates, it seems. Vincent Tans journal carry these

Country's arbitrary democracy needs overhaul

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak says he doesn't have to give three months notice to call for a brand new ubiquitous election. He is utterly right since there is no constitutional sustenance for such a thing. The subject is, since Najib has been trying so tough to infer himself to be a rakyat-friendly prime minister, he should maybe ask a rakyat either they agree with this cloak-and-dagger convention of snap elections in that a statute celebration enjoys all a advantages. Surely Najib wants to tell a world that you have a most appropriate democracy in a world since in actual actuality the democracy as good as electoral process have been nowhere near countries similar to Nepal, Costa Rica or Indonesia. My indicate is that you should discard all a cat-like conventions of a Westminster complement similar to a privilege of a statute celebration to call for a brand new choosing during a time it suits them. And that time is customarily after they have massaged a economy, crime figures

Ignorance of Islam and other religions

How ignorant have been a internal leaders as good as a internal mainstream media about Islam have been shown lately during a controversy surrounding a preference to legalise sports betting. Some leaders of member parties have been saying which given you have ethanol as good as beer, it is alright to have gambling as good because it is partial of non-Muslim culture. In any alternative countries, politicians who made such unresponsive remarks would have resigned within hours. Their stupidity upon because an Islamic administration allows drink expenditure as good as sale (for non-Muslims) as good as their miss of education in counts of Islam as good as alternative religions have been now plain for all to see as good as laugh at. I would like to indicate out a latest form of ignorance, this time by a internal media. It was reported in The Star currently (June 22) which Kelantan would be introducing a brand new form of tourism, by introducing a state's "Muslim monasteries" (c

Why not legalise prostitution as well?

Lately, both MCA as well as MIC have shown await for sports betting, despite regulated. Their main contentions have been which with regulated betting, the bootleg marketplace would be marked down or eradicated as well as it would additionally create the brand new income tide for the government. This comment coming from two parties who have been ostensible to have their communities during heart is all uncalled for. They have been essentially digging deeper graves for themselves. Already most non-Muslims have been dependant to gambling. One can see the great series flocking to betting outlets each 4D pull day. And if we supplement sports betting, the series of addicts will usually grow bigger. Is which what MIC as well as MCA wish for their communities? Introducing sports betting is akin to adding another drug to the market. A multitude dependant to drug is certainly heading for destruction. For those who can recall the drug fight in China, it was caused by the Chinese antithesis to sto

The 10MP Key Points and what it means

Kakakakakakakaka By Hakim Joe First of all, let us investigate a so-called Thrust. Charting development for a tall income republic It doesnt say most about a acceleration factor yet as good as conjunction does it have some-more aged to pick nations. Let us put it this way; Indonesia is a tall income republic whereby a normal income is IDR250,000. Work four months as good as we have been a millionaire! 6 pct expansion target Wishful thinking. Ahem 6% expansion in 4 years equates 1.25% expansion a year. Per capita income to enlarge to RM38,845 (US$12,139) by 2015 And a pouch of 10kg rice will price RM100 by then.

Why the urgent push to end the Maika scandal?

The Maika share liaison has continued for some-more than twenty years, with neither a MIC nor a government exhibiting any will to end a disgrace. Scant thought was given to a hundreds as well as thousands of bad Indians who put their hard-earned assets in to a fund. If they only had put their income in bound deposits they would have got a neat sum. Alas, a bad Indians devoted their meaningless leaders who mismanaged a account for some-more than twenty years. Now, all of a sudden, MIC is exhibiting a brand new found fervour as well as coercion to solve a emanate as well as is rushing through an ill-planned venture to compensate its subscribers. This is in annoy of a fact that 60,000 letters to shareholders could not be delivered as well as a pandemonium during centres registering shareholders, where countless names have left blank from a share register. The shutting date is June twenty-two as well as notwithstanding a plural problems there is assumingly not going to be any extension. W

Justifying the ends for sports betting

A lot has been said as well as published upon a emanate of sports betting. From a reasons forwarded by those in await of legalising sports betting, they all have a common belligerent as well as bulletin justifying a equates to to an end. It is vaporous who a supervision issues (or intends to issue) a looseness to as this is another emanate altogether. And of course, if this looseness goes to someone with indeterminate exchange with a government, afterwards a emanate takes upon a bigger as well as deeper twist. Let's usually look during a very thought of chartering sports betting. On a single hand, you have been a well-known Muslim country, nonetheless with a liberal as well as reasonable domain. In a area of food, you see a word 'halal' everywhere in restaurants, upon food packages as well as domicile goods as well as you even host 'halal' exhibitions. The nation has upon many occasions made public declarations which it wishes to be a 'halal' food hub. D

So why not sell heroin legally too?

My father is a gambling drug dependant in remission. He was especially addicted to betting on equine racing as well as football. Because of his gambling obsession in a past, my brothers as well as we had to assistance pay off outrageous amounts of debt. Growing up in this environment was difficult, to contend a least. When we accomplished school as well as started working, a lot of my early income had to be used to pay off this debt. My whole family suffered for years since of my father's gambling addiction. My father is not a bad guy he just got mixed up with a wrong crowd. My point is, making sports gambling authorised in Malaysia is starting to mistreat our society some-more than it will assistance it. Legalising sports gambling in Malaysia will be similar to making heroin accessible for sale to all a drug addicts in Malaysia. The predictable result of this is unnecessary heartache as well as pain for many otherwise normal families. People similar to me who have personally gi

Fishy Venture for Meat Production

Does a name Majuternak receptive to advice informed anyone? Or Pahangbif/Darabif perhaps? For those who do not remember, these have been gigantic projects set up by a supervision for a same role as what was voiced by Yusof Nor. Both have collapsed. More importantly, a open has lost about these failures. So right away a time to repeat a same act. Only this time it's upon a grander scale.By Nigel FELDAs announcement to invest RM688 million to try in to a commercial operation of beef prolongation does smell fishy to those who understand as good as follow developments in a local stock industry. The stated goal, according to a chairman, Yusof Nor is to settle a largest cattle rearing operation in South East Asia. Hows which for thinking outside a box? The devise is due to begin in a third entertain of 2010. Meanwhile, according to sources, a Minister of Agriculture is in Australia looking around for a farm to acquire something his predecessor additionally attemp

Greater KL and the Myth of Development

To pave the trail to success is not easy, to float it even harder. The supervision has the lot of strategizing to do, the total lot some-more of reason to give to the people as well as ultimately, the reduced period of 5 years (or reduction since the subsequent choosing is reduction than 3 years away) to infer the worth. Luck is not even the cause here. Facts as well as total verbalise for themselves, as well as currently, it doesnt indicate to an easy ride. By Delimma The reason by OSK Research upon their concerns that the expansion of the monetary district as well as redevelopment of Kg Baru, Sg Besi Airforce base as well as Sungai Buloh would outcome in the blurb bolt to KL has brought about the little vicious issues that ought to be noticed severely by the government.

Please believe me that I really did not realise that it was a police chief's official car. However, why was it my target among so many cars in Selangor? Moreover, it was only an ordinary Proton.
