Is the Sultan of Johor promoting further annihilation of minority’s rights?

LONDON: The recent statement by the Sultan of Johor in relation to the constitution has thrown to light for what seems to be a veiled support to encourage the neo-fascist movement PERKASA with their antics based on the purported Federal constitution.

The failure by the Sultan to recognize and acknowledge the second limb of Article 153 that provides for legitimate interest of the non-Muslim will only provide credence to PERKASA to continue their shenanigans hand in hand with UMNO against the non Muslims.

Malaysia and Islamophobia : Pot calling the kettle black

By The Scribe
The BN/Umno Regime of Najib Razak wants to send experts to the United States to 'lecture' the Americans about Islam. The Malaysian Government feels that this can dispel Islamophobia which is said to be widespread in the US.

However, The Scribe is of the opinion that before Malaysia can go to the US to dispel Islamophobia, the BN/Umno Regime needs to do the following.

1. Declare that Malaysia is NOT and will NEVER be an Islamic State.

2. Islam and other Religions are on a level playing field in Malaysia.

PKR preaches good governance but teaches dirty polling tactics to its members, say members

By Ezra Haganez

KUDAT: At least three local Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) leaders from Kudat claimed there were irregularities too at their weekend party polls.

Ondon Mangajil, who won a divisional committee seat, said he was unhappy because of glaring irregularities at the party polls where candidates aligned to incumbent Mursalim Tanjul were allowed to assist the monitoring team appointed by headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.

“How could it be that even candidates themselves were running themselves the polling process? This does not happen in other political parties but it is allowed in PKR and worse it was only for certain group in the party.

Message to Muslims: I’m Sorry

By Nicholas D. Kristof

Many Americans have suggested that more moderate Muslims should stand up to extremists, speak out for tolerance, and apologize for sins committed by their brethren.

That’s reasonable adv ice, and as a moderate myself, I’m going to take it. (Throat clearing.) I hereby apologize to Muslims for the wave of bigotry and simple nuttiness that has lately been directed at you. The venom on the airwaves, equating Muslims with terrorists, should embarrass us more than you. Muslims are one of the last minorities in the United States that it is still possible to demean openly , and I apologize for the slurs.

Fill half with Sabahans: DAP

Sources: Daily Express

KOTA KINABALU: The Federal Government should seriously implement the 20-Point Agreement on Borneonisation by setting a target to fill at least half the 59 Federal departments in Sabah with Sabahans as heads before the next Malaysia Day celebration on September 16, 2011, said DAP Adviser Lim Kit Siang.

“Najib should table this target at the Cabinet meeting next Wednesday to demonstrate that his administration is serious in wanting to address the 47-year grievances, frustrations and discontent of Sabahans and Sarawakians – making the first Malaysia Day as a national public holiday really worthwhile and meaningful,” he said.

Tough going for S'wak BN in four Bidayuh seats

By Joe Fernandez

ANALYSIS If the Sarawak state election were held today, it would be extremely tough going for the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) in four of the six Bidayuh majority seats, namely Kedup, Bengoh, Tasik Biru and Opar.
This is the growing consensus on both sides of the political divide in the state. The tough verdict also follows the announcement by the opposition alliance, Pakatan Rakyat, that it will “take on the BN one-to-one in the Bidayuh seats”, if not all seats.

The two other Bidayuh seats, seen as safe BN seats at the moment, are Tarat and Tebedu which are both held by Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB).

Sosilawati’s case: Don’t be so quick to praise the police

Posted by SABM
 

This cynical attitude of the police, acting as they pleased without regard for the law and standard operating procedures, could not have thrived had senior police officers and the Home Minister not been quick to constantly protect the police at all cost and dismissing complaints when there is evidence of trigger happy shooting, brutality and fabrication of evidence.

The real mood on the Sarawak ground

By Bunga Pakma

Nobody at all was jumping up and down with glee in anticipation of Malaysia Day. This new-fangled holiday was a complete non-starter with my fellow Sarawakians. They regarded it with an indifference so profound that I can’t even call it “sullen”.


Sarawak was as beautiful and fresh as when I left it last. Simply to stroll about our kebun in the chill air at sunrise filled me with joy. We non-Muslims hardly noticed Hari Raya this year, and that struck me as different. Most of the shops in town stayed open and the vegetable market was also open for business, and stocked with jolly red capsicums and other goodies we see only on occasions when people are doing a lot of festive eating.

1Malaysia not about racial equality, insists Umno sec-gen

By Wong Choon Mei, Malaysia Chronicle

Not only has Prime Minister Najib Razak made a complete U-turn from an earlier attempt to distance his Umno party from ultra-Malay rights group Perkasa, his trusted lieutenants now even say Najib’s prized 1Malaysia plan is not about racial equality.

The latest comments from Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan were immediately denounced by Pakatan Rakyat leaders.

Jokes for the day: Mahathir goes to Hell

Mahathir suffers a serious heart attack and dies. With his track record, obviously he goes to Hell where good ol' Satan awaits his arrival.

"Yo man, I'm not really sure what to do," says the Devil." You're on my list, but I have no room for you. As you definitely have to stay here, I'm left with no choice but to let someone else go".
"Now there's three folks here who weren't as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you will have to take their place. But I'll let you decide who leaves".
Despite the conditions, Mahathir thought that it was good, so he agreed.

Jokes for the day: Cause of death

There are three guys who have died.

They are outside the gate of Heaven. Unfortunately, lots of people had been dying recently, and they can’t let everyone in. St Peter decides that whichever of the three had suffered the worst and most tragic death would get in.

The first guy starts,
“I came home from work, to my flat, and I couldn't find my wife. I then heard her in the shower. I’d been suspecting that she was having an affair, and I was sure he was still in the flat. So I went looking for him but couldn't find him anywhere. Finally I went out onto the balcony and I saw a man hanging over the edge for dear life. So I stamped on his fingers, that didn’t work I went back into the flat and came out with a knife. Finally he fell but he landed in a bush in the garden and was still moving. So I went back into the flat and come back out with my refrigerator which I dropped killing him instantly. I went back into the flat, and started feeling guilty. So I took my gun and shot myself.”

The second guys says,
“Imagine this. You are washing windows at a local block of flats when you slip and fall. You think you are doomed, but then you catch yourself on a balcony. This happened to me. However, this guy came out of his flat, and instead of helping me, he tried to make me fall. Finally he cut my fingers off and I fell. I landed in a bush just in time to realise that the man was dropping a refrigerator on me. Then I died.”

“OK.” says the third man, “Imagine this. You are having an affair with a guy’s wife. The guy comes home…you hide in the refrigerator…”

TUNKU’S PROJEK KETUANAN MELAYU UMNO - THE NEO COLONIALIST

P. Waytha Moorthy writing from London

After 53 years of achieving independence Indians in Malaysia have remained permanently colonised by the UMNO Government. My forefathers were part of that great day on 31^st August 1957.

My people equally celebrated the day Malaysia was born, 16 Sept 1963, and through Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak as well. We had hope. We hoped to build a new generation and society in the new nation.

Alas, we were played out right from the beginning by Tunku Abdul Rahman, followed by his successors.

One of the major concessions for the non-Malays in Peninsular Malaysia agreeing to Article 153 was the granting of citizenship to all Malaysians born after Merdeka and the existing non-Malays who pledged their allegiance to Malaya  be given citizenship.

Never did our forefathers dream that we would be re colonised by the UMNO led government. Today, an estimated of 450,000 Malaysian Indians are stateless. This includes an estimated 150,000 stateless children. Pardon  me, these are estimates and the Government would most certainly refute these estimates. But they know the problem is real and exists.

The east Malaysian enigma

Sources MySinchew

I was born on the 2nd of August 1963 in a country called the Federation of Malaya. Six weeks later, on 16th September, the federation along with Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore merged to form Malaysia. A Malayan at birth, I then became a Malaysian. The date 16th September 1963 marked a significant  transition. Indeed, there is a number of crucial differences between “Malaya” and “Malaysia”. While we often talk about the ‘social contract’— the unwritten agreement negotiated by our Independence-era leaders — we should also remember the terms upon which Sabah and Sarawak joined with Malaya to form Malaysia.

Illegal arms: Is Najib, Umno mulling using force to stay in power

Najib's Umno has ruled Malaysia since 1957

Wong Choon Mei, Malaysia Chronicle

Concern is rising that Prime Minister Najib Razak has begun a series of moves including the use of force to retain control of Malaysia. Sparking the speculation is the second-day shutting down of popular political blog Malaysia Today run by the controversial Raja Petra Kamaruddin.

RPK had accused Najib’s government of buying small arms – pistols, sub-machine guns, stun-grenades and so forth – from underground sources in the overseas black markets, and of sending the Youth wing of his Umno party for paramilitary training.

Until now, the PM has not responded to the allegations.
