Sly musang at scorpion tail

Najib's federal government's term ends in 2018 (termination of his legal 5-year parliamentary term - Ozzie pollies have only 3 years, as Aussies say their pollies are less trustworthy, wakakaka), so if he calls for any general elections prior to 2018, for example like in 2017 as is now rumoured, the early election will be considered as a snap election.

aiyah, lator ah, pilihanlaya awal ah?

sebentar, saya nak tanya Mahathir Anwar dulu

wakakaka

Can a PM call for a snap election?

Under Westminster rules (like what we Malaysians have), an early election is permissible while delayed election, well passed the termination date of a parliamentary term, is illegal and thus NOT allowed.

One has 5 years (plus a wee bit) and that's that. Any longer than that and one will be a dictator like our northern neighbour, wakakaka. Aha, that might well be another option for Ah Jib Gor, wakakaka. Man man lai, Ah Hniah! 

Thus if Najib calls for an early election in 2017, and incidentally Bloomberg claimed it has received many hints from UMNO insiders (do MCA and Gerakan even know? wakakaka), it's okay.

OTOH, if Guan Eng calls for an early election as he did recently for Penang state, it's NOT okay because he will be, and in fact was accused of wasting the taxpayers' money, scandal distractions, arrogance, etc etc etc, with the most virulent abusive objections coming from his so-called ally PKR, most times via distanced surrogates (meaning, PKR acted diam diam pretending to be a good boy, whilst its cyber-troopers did the dirty laundering or washing of DAP in public, wakakaka).

Back again to Najib's possible early election - To do or not to do, for him it's six of one and half a dozen of the other.

On one hand he's now besieged by scandals and unrest, much as he might have being portraying himself as cool, relaxed and confident, Then the economy for Malaysia isn't, as they say, shit hot. Though things in Malaysia haven't been as awful as in neighbouring countries, nonetheless the voters' pockets have become somewhat swallower. These are negative factors for a ruling party in an election, and a blessing for the opposition party, wakakaka,

On the other, the opposition is currently in a shambles, more so after the Sarawak state elections where there were so much back-stabbing by PKR of DAP that the word 'trust' does not exist between them, not that it did before,

That Sarawak election endowed an unhappy feeling for DAP members who are still glowering from PKR's (fairly renowned) treachery then. The DAP's sour tasting experience merely confirms their long-time suspicion of PKR as dishonourable, treacherous, avaricious and essentially a frightening clone of ketuanan UMNO, its erstwhile parent, wakakaka. 

Then, to add a further factor into an already muddled equation for the opposition, the 3-corner fights in Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar by-elections showed the vengeance of a jilted PAS who demonstrated their dedak-driven aim to act as spoiler for BN in GE-14, which terrifies PKR more than DAP.

And ain't it padan muka for the wee lil' f**king ketuanan party which stabbed DAP in the back in Sarawak recently by inserting its own 3rd party candidates in many of seats allocated to DAP, a Pakatan seat-sharing allocation which was already approved by Wan Azizah, but you have to ask AA and TC why they did otherwise.

BTW, in the Sarawak recent state elections, recall one seat which would have been won by BN without contest if the DAP didn't membalas dendam, because the PKR candidate in that constituency would have been disqualified, but our remarkable EC on receiving the DAP candidate's papers to be a competing candidate for said constituency, decided to re-qualify the disqualified PKR candidate so as to see a 3-corner contest, wakakaka.

The Sarawak experience gave Najib some confidence and his recent overtures to Sarawak, false or true or bureaucratically hampered, aim to consolidate on that BN advantage. On top of that, his recent chummy tete-a-tete with Obama in Vientiane might have provided a burnishing to his damaged reputation, wakakaka. 

Incidentally we shouldn't condemn jilted PAS too much, notwithstanding its to-&-fro swing from pretend tidakapathy (couldn't-care-less attitude) to virulent abusive hatred and threats for DAP and back again, wakakaka, because it has been damn mad about its DAP-insisted ouster from Pakatan, due solely to its premature push for hudud in Kelantan, wakakaka.

You see, now PAS will no longer enjoy the DAP-sponsored Chinese support it had in 2008 and 2013, and with which it had dreamed of using in GE-14 to capture some 60 plus federal seats, which the 25 to 35% Chinese voters in each of them (Mahathir's erstwhile dream-constituency, wakakaka), would have helped propel it into a very powerful federal position.

Aiyaya, sayang saje, Pak Haji, make haste, more waste lah, wakakaka, you just moved a wee too fast with your hudud and frightened the shit out of us Chinapeks - you should have make do temporarily with a Cameron Highlands' celery stalk to whip your naughty Muslims lah until the hudud legislation was passed in post GE-14.

Meanwhile, Mahathir's Pribumi has not been as potent as it had been made out to be, with its party president being a person who for a start is saddled with a salacious scandal. The newbie party has also said it will have to compete in Pakatan's seats - and kangkang PKR (in the person of Tian Chua) has with much alacrity agreed to surrender most of its seats to the demands of Pribumi, while Amanah which thus far doesn't have any but is eyeing PAS' seats, follows suit with meaningless gesture.

But will Najib's snap election put Pribumi at any disadvatage? It's a bugger of an analysis and Najib has to weigh that carefully, critically and correctly and make the vital decision - hah, decision, decision, decision!

The DAP remains silent with regards to Pribumi's demand as it's not pleased with the concept of 'more men, less share', a fact of reality and much to the consternation and marginalisation of lil' flea PSM in Peninsular and SNAP in Sarawak. Besides, DAP's seats are mainly non-majority seats, so one needs to ask whether a party with a moniker like Pribumi would want nons' seats?

But the DAP realizes too of another danger, that PKR is not as altruistic as it appears when it hands over its seats willingly to Pribumi, as undoubted it will demand, a la Pakatan quid pro quo and pseudo-haapcheok (cooperation) and pompous ketuanan, a re-sharing and thus re-allocation of seats for Pakatan members with of course PKR eating into DAP's current seats, preferably blue-ribboned seats, on the basis of compensating its Kay-Poh-Chnee (KPC) kangkang give-away to Pribumi.

And didn't we just witness that PKR's covert lust when in Guan Eng's proposed snap state election for Penang a very lustful PKR demanded about 3 of DAP's seats as a quid pro quo for joining DAP in the snap state election? Podah!

PKR is not only an avaricious beast but also a sly musang - if you fail to keep a beady eye on it, you'd find one of your prized chooks missing, wakakaka.

So, Ah Jib Gor, tell us what you intend to do, wakakaka.

PSM - a cry in the wilderness

From MM Online (extracts):

PSM's logo too militant looking; should have stuck to its previous logos - see the 3 images below 

Boestaman's Parti Rakyat Malaya - mainly Malays members

Labour Party Malaya - mainly Chinese, Indian and Eurasian members 

Parti Rakyat and Labour Party merged to form Socialist Front Malaya (Barisan Socialis Malaya), the first truly multi-racial egalitarian party - they self extinguished itself prior to the general election in 1969 in a boycott of the polls

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 — Opposition parties should contest under one common logo in the next general election as newly formed parties like Amanah and Persatuan Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) are still not popular, Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has said.

PSM leader S Arutchelvan also claimed that the reason why the Registrar of Societies (RoS) had granted PPBM provisional approval so quickly was because Barisan Nasional (BN) believes that the new party will “complicate” seat negotiations with other opposition parties.

“The logos of Amanah and Bersatu are still not popular. The best way for the opposition to overcome this issue is to apply to register with the Registrar of Societies (ROS) a coalition like BN with a common logo.

Wakakaka, the actual truth is poor PSM has been the tiny one marginalised all along by Pakatan with its own logo. Pakatan had ignored PSM as an annoying flea to which Pakatan was unwilling to sacrifice seats.

Only in Sungai Siput the Pakatan people countenance PSM's Dr Jeyakumar to stand there to get rid of Samy Vellu, but in general (with one or two exceptions) has largely ignored or abandoned PSM to its own device.

PSM has been no match for Pakatan's Tai-Koh behaviour, let alone BN, so contesting under one single opposition logo will benefit PSM most.

Damn it, Aru, good-hearted as you and PSM may be, it's a very cruel world out there.

The Malays don't want socialism even though unknown to them, Islam has been one of the greatest socialist movements in the world.

The Chinese still remember how socialism was treated unfairly and harshly in Malaya/Malaysia and foolishly mistaken by Malays for communism.

Perhaps some of the down-trodden poverty-stricken Indians have some hope and expectations for PSM, that is, if they haven't yet makan dedak from MIC, wakakaka.

I hope you (Aru) and PSM will be successful.

Water water everywhere

Water, water, every where,And all the boards did shrink;Water, water, every where,Nor any drop to drink

- The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Recently HRH Sultan Johor (or was it his son the TMJ?) mentioned that it was an incorrect decision NOT to keep water under public ownership.

Malaysians buying Malaysian water from Sinagpore

wakakaka 

HRH has been right. There are certain services, especially vital emergency services, which should remain under public ownership, to wit, the government whether federal or state, so that the needs of the rakyat would not be imperilled, ever.

Water would be one of those services, though electricity is not - one could live for a few days on candle light and firework cooking, especially when our country in both wings is teeming with hawkers, wakakaka. At least a bonus side effect will see the elimination any ethnic boycotts, especially by some silly Chinese of the mamak nasi kandar stalls in Penang, wakakaka again.

Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob can continue with his boycott of Chinese goods which have been deemed as haram to Muslim anyway, wakakaka.

God (your of course) forbid we ever privatise the military or the police, and especially the Civil Service, but aiyoyo, you would never know.

Many many years ago, in Hong Kong then still under Mother England, wakakaka, the locals told me about their fantastic fire brigades, where the firemen who were so miserably paid, would on arriving at a fire scene, demand what the Indons termed 'pungli' (pungutan liar).

One would then see Chinese-style bargaining between the cool very relaxed firemen and the frantic (perhaps screaming) owner of burning apartment or house, which if successfully concluded, would finally see water emanating from the firemen's hose, wakakaka.

It was the 'user pay' concept, wakakaka.

The Hongkies eventually became so fed up with their "highly-commercialised" public services, privately "highly-commercialised" that was, wakakaka, that they begged, borrowed and imitated Malaysia's then fantastic model of the successful ACA (started under Judge Hashim) and built their own.

Of course it was successful and you have clean efficient Hong Kong today.

Meanwhile, under our remarkable government in the last almost 40 years since 1981, we crippled our own ACA, and not only that, but as well the Senate (supposedly the voice of the minorities and states against overwhelming federal control - where today it's the other way around), Police, Civil Service, Judiciary, universities, etc, virtually every vestige of public institution, and what's left of the world's most amended Constitution.

Malaysia doesn't need one when the nation's Islamic Majlis eventually replaces all law making bodies

wakakaka 

PKR & PAN give way to Pribumi

If Tian Chua of PKR and Khalid Samad of Amanah are both willing to give way to Mahathir's Pribumi in their constituencies for GE-14, then what will happen to Pakatan Harapan?

supposedly de jure led by this man who was mentioned in a recent adultery-divorce case

but de facto by Mahathir who was mentioned in a recent hand-shake-with-bitter-archfoe case

I wonder why Tian Chua is so keen to kowtow to Pribumi in giving way to the newbie in PKR seats, when he has been so aggressive for years against a so-called Pakatan partner, the DAP, even unto playing the 3rd party in deliberate 3-corner fights?

Maybe Mahathir's whatever tastes sweeter? Wakakaka. Or PKR's kangkang-ness is showing again, wakakaka again.

In the end I guess in GE-14 it'll be just Pribumi versus UMNO in the Heartland (with PAS playing an interfering role for .....? whoever provides better dedak, wakakaka), while DAP fights MCA and Gerakan and MIC in more urban areas.

But wait, I hope PKR doesn't stab DAP in the back again by demanding more urban seats, or play the role of 3rd party again in 3-corner fights as PAS will be, but then again that treachery and avarice are in their DNA.

Anwar Ibrahim betrays his supporters?

FMT informs us (extracts):

PETALING JAYA: The handshake between former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his protege-turned-nemesis Anwar Ibrahim is a betrayal to their supporters, says Raja Sara Petra.

In a statement, Sara, who is the daughter of self-exiled blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin, related the pain she and her family went through for her father’s support of Anwar after the then deputy prime minister was sacked by Mahathir.

“I was just 13 and in Form 1 when the police stopped our car to take my father away,” she said, adding at the time she was not fully aware as to what was going on.

She said she was only told that her father might be away for a long time, though she did not know for how long.

Sara said she was told her father had to be locked away because he supported Anwar and opposed Mahathir, and was led to believe that doing so was a serious crime.

“On Monday, Anwar and Mahathir met up and shook hands. So, 18 years’ of animosity is now water under the bridge. The past is the past. Forgive and forget.

“But what about people like me, who for many years suffered emotional stress that every knock on the door is, yet again, the police coming to take my father away?”

For the last seven years, Sara said her father lived in exile because he supported Anwar and questioned whether Anwar and Mahathir were going to apologise to her for the 18 years of suffering and the weekly trips she had to make to the Kamunting Detention Centre in Taiping.

She said the handshake between the two former Umno stalwarts was a betrayal to those who were dragged into their personal conflict and were now forgotten political pawns.

Hudud is to enable cleric to punish punish punish

MM online - Shariah Bill forum ‘all about men and power’, not justice, female filmmaker claims

rape victim (a Shia) flogged for being raped by Sunni men - she was threatened with further flogging if she appealed

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — Filmmaker Norhayati Kaprawi has criticised a recent forum on PAS’ Shariah Bill that featured an all-male panel, saying it was not so much about justice and morals but about men and power.

Norhayati, who was sitting next to lawyer and activist Siti Kasim at the forum last Monday that saw Siti giving the middle finger to her hecklers, claimed the moderator, Dr Yusri Mohamad from Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim), ignored her when she raised her hand to ask questions during the second Q&A session.

“What I saw in that forum was that IT WAS all about MEN AND POWER, not so much about upholding justice, and not about creating a high moral society,” Norhayati said in a Facebook post yesterday in a mixture of Malay and English.

“The moderator saw me putting up my hand, but he looked elsewhere and allowed the men to stand up and ask questions, even though during the first Q&A round, the men already asked plenty of questions.

“So, in that ALL MALE forum, SITI was the ONLY WOMAN who got to participate in the whole discussion,” Norhayati added.

shouldn't we ask why? 

She also said the moderator had failed to control the rowdy audience when Siti was speaking.

The forum on “Pindaan Akta 355: Antara Realiti Dan Persepsi” organised by the Karangkraf Group in Shah Alam Monday — which discussed PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang’s private member’s Bill that seeks to amend the Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Act 355) — featured an all-male panel, including moderator PAS secretary-general Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, Kepong MP Dr Tan Seng Giaw from the DAP, and MCA central committee member Gan Ping Sieu.

Norhayati said she had wanted to ask Takiyuddin and Jamil Khir what was their obsession with enhancing punishments under Shariah law.

“Shouldn't they be obsessed instead with how to ensure JUSTICE in the Shariah legal system so that it’s implemented effectively? So that each Muslim WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IS JUSTICE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR JUSTICE TO BE EFFECTED WELL AND EFFECTIVELY?” she said.

She pointed out that women’s rights groups had submitted more than five years ago draft amendments to the Islamic Family Law Act so that it would be fairer and protect the rights of Muslim women. However, nothing has been done so far.

“Harsh punishments will not create good people. What will shape people into good human beings is education about strong ethics since young, so we need to focus on EDUCATION, not PUNISHMENT,” she said.

The activist pointed out that the crime rates in countries like Sweden, Denmark and Japan were much lower than those in Muslim countries.

“If all of you, especially women, want to go on holiday, you all will definitely feel much safer in those countries compared to many Muslim countries, including those that have implemented hudud, even though Sweden, Germany and Japan all don’t have hudud,” she said.

Islamist clerics want to punish non-muslims as well

MM Online - Don’t exempt non-Muslims from hudud, Muslim scholars suggest

Non-Muslims should not be exempted from severe hudud punishments if the controversial Islamic penal law is implemented in Malaysia, religious scholars suggested in a forum discussing the issue today.

According to the panellists, exempting non-Muslims from punishments prescribed for Muslims would create an unjust system, which would disturb the peace, ultimately defeating the original purpose of hudud itself.

“Should Ah Chong get a lighter punishment than Ahmad, although they both committed the same crime? Where is the justice?” said prominent religious cleric Dr Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin.

“I differ from Kelantan’s enactment. I agree with Brunei … we have to prescribe the punishments to all.”

The tiny, oil-rich nation of Brunei passed hudud laws last year and will begin enforcement from this year.

“Even non-Muslims must also get hudud punishments like Muslims … Hudud is meant to keep the peace. How can you keep the peace if non-Muslims can choose their punishments?” said Dr Mushaddad Abdullah, from Putrajaya-backed Institut Wasatiyyah Malaysia.


It's coming you bloody kafirs and Dhimmis. Next you can't eat your favourite BKT. Then you'll have to circumcise as well, and before too long you'll be in masjid praying to Allah swt with the ketuanan race, sorry, in a side room in the masjid after the women's room.

Even our favourite Islamic cleric Dr Asri Zainal Abidin has joined the mob who wants to punish people kau kau.

Much as I like and respected Dr Asri, I have my wee doubts about him when 3 years ago he criticized the Thaipusam procession in Penang which had been going on donkey years with mucho support from Chinese and the Poms - for more, see my 2013 post
Dr Asri - blood versus coconut water.

From the same MM Online - According to the Shariah Courts (Criminal) Jurisdiction Act 1965, the Islamic court cannot sentence offenders to more than three years in jail or fine them more than RM 5,000. It also cannot sentence offenders to be whipped more than six times.

How the hell will the ulamas be able to frighten the shit out of Muslims, let alone non Muslims with such restrictive punishment (even though our founding fathers saw fit to keep the syariah courts in a subordinate position to civil courts with restrictive punishments because Malaysia is NOT an Islamic nation, contrary to the pompous political announcement of Mahathir).

I suppose it's either in the ulamas' genes or in their indoctrination, to wit, to hurt people kau kau by way of punishing them until they beg for mercy and tremble at the sight of ulamas. That's how ulamas get their power, their strangle-hold over the rakyat. And we're dealing out more, much more tax money than RM1 billion per year to keep them in employment.

Aren't our non-Muslim tax money haram to Islamists?

Why don't they look seriously at Siti Kasim's proposal for Malaysians, even Muslims, to choose to be trialled either under universal secular laws or the ulama (not Allah's swt) syariah laws, where syariah laws have been the ulamas' own interpretation, to intimidate people through such threats as hands chopping.

Malaysia is a secular country as proven by our Constitution and the restriction on syariah courts which are limited to Muslim family and Islamic prohibition matters, with very restrictive code of punishments, where as per the Shariah Courts (Criminal) Jurisdiction Act 1965, the Islamic court cannot sentence offenders to more than three years in jail or fine them more than RM 5,000. It also cannot sentence offenders to be whipped more than six times.

Q.E.D

Mother India?

FMT - Tamil protest: Sign of warped priorities? (relevant extracts follow):

Enraged by the presence of former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa at a forum in Malaysia, a group of protesters, including politicians from both sides of the political divide, gathered in front of the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) to call for him to be sent back to his country and burned his effigy.

Then came the stupidity. The protesters, including members of a group calling itself “Naam Tamilars” (We are Tamilians), gathered in front of the Sri Lankan Buddhist temple in Sentul and demanded to know Rajapaksa’s whereabouts. They then assaulted the chief monk, Sri Saranan.

The anger did not stop there. A small group of men later assaulted Sri Lankan High Commissioner Ibrahim Sahib Ansar at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

And now there’s even a campaign to raise money to bail out five men who have been arrested in connection with the attacks.

What were the rowdy groups trying to achieve in assaulting Sri Saranan and Ibrahim Sahib, who may have absolutely no links to Rajapaksa?

How many of the attackers even know who Rajapaksa is and what the civil war in Sri Lanka was all about? How many of them were aware that the war broke out way before Rajapaksa came to power?

Even if he is alleged to have done nothing to stop the killing of Tamils there, how logical is it to fight a “war criminal” by being violent towards people who have no apparent connection to him?

Don’t we Malaysian Indians already have enough local issues to deal with?

The funny thing is that the Sri Lankan Tamil community in Malaysia, who should rightfully be the ones enraged were hardly involved in these protests. Many are known to have done well in the country. Prominent figures include business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan and Westport’s G Gnanalingam. There are also prominent professionals from the community.

Politicians of Indian descent are very much to blame for encouraging the acts of rage and stupidity. Leading a mob and chanting offensive words, only to later distance themselves from these acts after violence had occurred, was irresponsible.

Malaysian Indians would do best to channel their energy towards helping each other attain a respectable status in society, learning to cherish their culture and language and abstaining from butchering each other.

And we have absolute silence about this from the usual mob?

Do you remember former DAP member, Superman Hew Kuan Yau who made a silly statement in his Facebook that China owns the South China Sea and its billions worth of natural resources and strategic security advantages, infuriating millions of Malaysian who took to abusing and excoriating the DAP for it?

There was no one more stupid and un-Malaysian than Hew for supporting China against Malaysia or Malaysian interests. He was told to leave the DAP, el pronto!

Need I say anything more, you bunch of mute clowns?

Comics story at KTemoc Kongsamkok

I have just published a new post over at Kongsamkok titled The Lost Breed (2) - Chinese comics rental, wakakaka. Enjoy.

Security guards must be racially acceptable?

The DPM, also Home Minister, said that (read FMT) Security firms can employ non-Nepalese guards.

Previously only Nepalese can be employed as security guards. This change of policy has been due to a shortage of Nepalese guards with a military or police background in Nepal.

The Nepalese-only policy was enforced in 2006. But the DPM believes 'locals' should still be given priority over anyone, though he intends to examine two other sources, that is, other than Malaysians and Nepalese.

He hasn't identified the other two source countries yet.

FMT reported: Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed had previously suggested looking at Sri Lanka as a source country for guards.

MIC Youth chief C Sivarraajh however immediately objected, saying any move to hire them must take into consideration the sensitivities of the Tamil community in the country.

In a statement he issued, he said Sri Lankan soldiers had a horrendous human rights record and the government must understand the feelings of Tamils in Malaysia.

What he was saying was that Sinhalese soldiers had probably committed war crimes against Sri Lanka Tamils in their civil war, so local Tamils would be mighty pissed off with such soldiers.

The principal issue is cost or low wages so it's unlikely we'll get security guards from rich countries like UK, USA, Oz, NZ, Fiji, Sings or Japan, etc. But the Malaysian racial wish has to be considered, wakakaka

So if MIC is against Sinhalese soldiers and policemen, and presumably UMNO is against Chinese, Taiwanese, Koreans and Vietnamese guards (the last two look like Chinapeks) and MCA-Gerakan are against Indons, Thais, Khmers or Cambodians, Laotians, Pinoys, Pakis, Myanmars or Burmese and Bangladeshis soldiers, who should we employ as security guards?

What about Mongolians? Nah, too Chinapek-ish.

Who then?

Confucian teachings on education

According to the QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) World University Rankings this year, University Malaya (UM) has moved up from 146th ranking to 133.

Congratulations. There is great rejoicing in Malaysia today at the news.

Moody's affair?

From Malaysiakini:

The divorce proceedings between a former deputy public prosecutor and his wife concerning her alleged affair with former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin has ended with the official dissolution of the marriage.

Stanley Clement Augustin and Nika Gee Siew Yee had agreed to dissolve their marriage today at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur.

"The marriage has dissolved by consent with immediate effect. The case is over," Augustin's lawyer S Periasamy told reporters after leaving the chambers at the High Court today.

He said this was the joint statement from himself and Gee's counsel, Choo Dee Wei.

Desperate?

When you hate someone so much that you refuse to even acknowledge his presence nor countenance his political existence for 18 years 2 days, why would you support him the day after?

Wakakaka.

Freedom of religion?

Human rights layer Siti Kasim who always speaks up for the LGBT community and the Aborigines today defied Islamic laws by raising her objections to simply obeying blindly those said laws. For more, read FMT's Uproar after lawyer gave Syariah Act forum the finger.

Siti Kasim was also the same person who said she was very disappointed with Nurul Izzah after the latter backed away from her earlier declaration that there should be freedom of religion even for Muslims.

Do you recall that our so-called Princess Reformasi was under siege in early November 2012 for allegedly expressing her support for freedom of religion for all Malaysians, including Malays, in a forum titled “Islamic state? Which vision? Whose responsibility”?

Nurul Izzah 

Sweetie was so reported by FMT in its news article Nurul Izzah backs religious freedom for all.

Needless to say, UMNO jumped eagerly on her alleged statement, with another sweetie, deputy minister Mashitah Ibrahim out to get her in some legal way, while Dr Mahathir also criticized her for her alleged un-Islamic statement.

A few days later, Tian Chua's Malaysian Chronicle had then came out with an article titled Nurul is an Angel in our midst. Mashitah Ibrahim, you are a spinning pathological liar wakakaka.

I wonder whether the Malaysian Chronicle had upgraded or downgraded Nurul from Princess Reformasi to Angel, wakakaka again.

But the poor sweetie was so stressed (panicked?) by the UMNO mob against her that she sought help from Dr Asri, while PAS' Dzulkefly Ahmad, then still an MP, was reported by the Malaysian Chronicle (wakakaka) for criticizing sweetie  as being ‘diabolical’ in attacking sweetie Nurul.

I have to admit Mashitah was/is 'diabolically' good looking, wakakaka.

Mashitah Ibrahim 

Naturally sweetie Nurul denied supporting apostasy and, I believe, went on to sue Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian for allegedly twisting her words.

Now, the person who asked her the question which led to the alleged controversial statement was none other than our sweetie Siti Kasim, a member of the Bar Council human rights committee and Orang Asli rights advocate. She is also representing teh LGBT today.

In the midst of the UMNO-generated brouhaha over Nurul's alleged statement, Siti Kassim came out to say that she was disappointed with Nurul for backing away from her statement that freedom of religion was a right for all including the Malay-Muslims. She lamented that Nurul has failed to stand firm on her remark.

Siti Kasim said: “I believe Nurul was just trying to impress the people. She didn't think of the consequences. There’s nothing wrong about it [freedom of religion], she is saying the truth. I expected a hoo-ha after that. But as a politician, you just need to stick to the truth."

"In the following days she ‘retracted’ her remark, and said she did not support apostasy. But indirectly when you say you support freedom of religion, and if Malay wants to get out from Islam, that’s apostasy.”

Penang Hokkien would say of Nurul Izzah: Hoe knua, boe hoe chnea. [good to look at, but not good to eat, or no substance lah]

Wakakaka.

Eagle out for mufti

MCA president Liow Tiong lai Liow criticized Perak deputy mufti Zamri Hashim for suggesting that it was unIslamic to have the eagle statue at Langkawi. He believed that has been akin to Taliban-ization.

Star Online reported him saying: ..... that when PAS came to power in Terengganu in 1999, the first thing the then state mentri besar Datuk Seri Hadi Awang did was to demolish a replica of a turtle at a roundabout in Kuala Terengganu, using the same argument that it was akin to idol worshipping.

"Likewise, when PAS took over Kelantan, the party changed Pantai Cinta Berahi (Beach of Passionate Love) to Pantai Cahaya Bulan (Moonlight Beach).

"Despite all the stringent rules in Kelantan, including gender segregation and summonses on non-Muslim traders of unisex salons and a watch dealer for putting up posters of models who don't cover their heads, we all know PAS has no answer to the host of problems in Kelantan such as AIDS and drug abuses," he said.

Also see my post Simbol2 Haram.

Let's get rid of all priests, monks and ulamas of all religions. They are troublesome meddlers and batu api's who just want to cause divisions among Malaysians by promoting the evil wicked 'Them and us' schism, all for their on interests and self-importance.

Bangsa Johor schools - Devil's in the details

Malaysiakini - Johor crown prince scoffs at '1Malaysia', moots 'Bangsa Johor' schools

remember him? 

Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim has criticised Putrajaya's "1Malaysia" slogan, questioning whether it really promotes unity as claimed.

"I hope in the near future... the Johor government will introduce an education module for Johoreans. We'll make Bangsa Johor.

"Malaysia has it too - 1Malaysia. But answer me, where is 1Malaysia?

"You have Indian schools, you have Chinese schools, you have Malay schools. From young, you tell them not to be united.

"Then when they grow up, you tell them to be united?" he said in a dialogue session which was later uploaded on the Johor Southern Tigers Facebook page.

Tunku Ismail said he envisioned a different direction for Johor's education system.

"In future, there will not be Indian, Chinese or Malay schools in Johor... There will only be Bangsa Johor schools.

"From a young age, we'll teach them how to be united, how to respect each other's religion and how to respect to respect other races," he said.

However, he said religious schools would be retained for the purposes of the religion.

The devil is in the details of HRH's Bangsa Johor schools. He hasn't explained exactly what he has in mind, nor what will be taught by his schools.

And then he straightaway contradicted himself by saying religious schools would be retained for the purposes of the religion. Won't that divide this Johoreans into Johorean Muslims and Johorean non Muslims? 

Aren't many of our national problems related to religious divisions and the aggressive intrusive antics of clerics?

Just what then will his Bangsa Johor schools of the religious and non-religious type educate?

'We and them' in religion?

Basically no difference to the current school types he criticized.

And I definitely do not support his wish to make Johor more assertive against the Federal government because we had witnessed what had happened in Johor under his grandfather and kerabats - ask hockey coach Douglas Gomez, and a former Perak goalkeeper, and the family of a late golf caddy, etc etc etc.

I will not forget what other Johor sultans and their kerabats have been up to in Johor, in other parts of Malaysia and in Singapore.....not until a few generations of Johor Sultans have proven themselves worthy of our respect.

Najib should learn from Zaidi

PM Najib recently claimed he is not afraid of anyone except Allah swt.

I believe that was exactly what a former air force pilot, ex Major (TUDM) Zaidi Ahmad said, to wit, he only answered to Allah swt.

And that was quite astonishing, considering the many reporting links in the TUDM's chain of command, especially with Major Zaidi as only a mere major.

Last year MM Online reported that Zaidi rose to prominence as the whistleblower who publicised the weaknesses in the indelible ink meant to prevent vote fraud during Election 2013.

Well, let me just correct that technical incorrectness. He was NOT a whistle blower but a member of the voting public. A whistleblower is one who work in the organization he or she whistleblows on. Did ex Major Zaidi Ahmad work in the Election Commission (EC)?

He was sacked from the RMAF earlier this year for breaching its rules in the manner he went public with the revelation.

That's correct though a few clarifications here may be necessary as there are still people who obdurately claim he was sacked for reporting to the police on the very delible so-called indelible ink used by the EC.

No, he was not, because reporting to the police was his constitutional right as a Malaysian citizen. His wife, also an air force personnel made the same police reporting but was not court martialled at all. Only he and an air force flight sergeant were, because of what they did, far more than merely reporting on the delible EC ink to the police.

He was sacked for violating Armed Forces Council Instructions (AFCI) on not to make unauthorized press statements (of any kind, not just about delible indelible ink) - yes, he was sacked for, in simple terms, performing a pompous song & dance to the press when he was NOT authorized to do so.

But he had been acclaimed a 'hero' by Maria Chin Abdullah, the Bersih Chair, for what he did, an ill undisciplined action for a soldier (or airman) as to make unauthorized press statement to the media against the AFCI.

So PM Najib should be more careful with his pompous statement above as he may face the same fate as Major (TUDM) Zaidi Ahmad, the latter now having rolled ...

... from TUDM to PAS, and ...

... from PAS to AMANAH and ...

... from AMANAH to DAP.

You know what people say about a 'rolling stone'?

Moody's prediction

In mid August I posted New Malaysian government? in which I suggested that Mahathir's new party Pribumi must win 44 MPs from BN-UMNO, a bit more than Anwar Ibrahim's 916 scheme of 30 crossovers, wakakaka.

I'm your friendly next-door politician
Please help my son lah, our last chance 

Can he?

Bear in mind he already has 3, namely Mukhriz (ooops sorry, no MP seat), Shafie Apdal (Semporna) and Muhyiddin (Pagoh) and of course the PKR kangkang party, from Nurul Izzah & Azmin Ali & Tian Chua to 'Z' (probably inclusive of DAP, much as I am against it, wakakaka), thus he has 68 plus 2 = 70 and is still short of 42, assuming all those 70 like Moody himself in Pagoh and Apdal in Semporna can retain their seats, wakakaka.

Muhyiddin claims in FMT that BN, actually UMNO (because there's not that many left in the other Peninsula parties, wakakaka), was not as strong as it used to be, so UMNO could easily lose 45 seats in the next general election to the opposition. 3 more than I had forecast, wakakaka.

Speaking at an anti-1MDB ceramah on Friday, he said his research had shown that BN has 67 “shaky” seats and a mere 4% shift in votes would be enough for 45 of BN’s seats to be won by the opposition.

But Umno Selangor chief Noh Omar dismissed Moody's boast as mere empty talk, saying: “Just like the opposition, he (Muhyiddin) can say whatever he wants to say. It’s more of a theory. We must be practical. He can say whatever he wants but when he becomes the government, he must abide by the facts.”

Nonetheless, can Pribumi cum Pakatan (or whatever is left of the former opposition coalition) combat UMNO-BN when PAS will be playing a dedak-driven interfering role in promoting 3-corner fights, to the advantage of UMNO?
