When TDM initiated a war against royalties that followed the clippings of priorities, privileges and immunities of royal family, the majority Umno then was all out to see that war materialized. Of course opposition too supported that. THAT WAS NOT TREASON

Then recently when the Perlis and Terengganu rulers rejected the appointment of MBs the majority UMNO again showed their displeasure on decisions of the Sultans. There were even rallies and banners carrying slogans, some of them with humiliating words, like “Natang” which means binatang. Pak Lah said during his press conference he made his choice of MBs, and there must not be any changes referring to his disagreement with sultans. It did not stop there. The AG was asked to interfere where he wanted to meet the King to reverse his decision. Practically they were against the sultan. THAT TOO WAS NOT TREASON

Now we have a legitimate MB was betrayed by 3 defectors who were bought over during their captivity. Under the consequences the MB advised the sultan to dissolve the legislative assembly for which the sultan refused. Doesn’t matter, at least the sultan could have waited for new developments before making his decision known. Unfortunately he did not. The new government that is not favourite of people was formed. So, the people in general feel there was a mistake on the part of sultan and for those who have been consistent with people’s interests prioritized, it is important for them principally the sultan’s decision is to be challenged under the constitution which the very royals consented.THIS TIME IT’S TREASON BECAUSE LAWYER KARPAL SAID IT AND SENSIBLE MALAYS RECIPROCATE HIS OPINION.

It is nothing, in this country it’s about hypocrisy. Like the “Sinchew” journalist puts it, UMNO is above the law and anything that doesn’t favour UMNO becomes wrong, illegal, anti-Malay, anti-Islam and against the law and Royals, a better term they could manipulate this time around instead of using Ketuanan Melayu.

I remember TDM saying many years ago, “Nabi Muhammad and other religious leaders in their time had long beard because they did not have shaving blades to shave unlike we people in the modern world now”. For many including me it was a sensible thing to say, No Disrespect. The present scenario is also similar; Karpal and other learned individuals who gave their views and stance on Sultan are strictly based their views on law interpretation. It is neither Disrespect nor Treason.

Anyone who says otherwise is opportunist and hypocrite!

Brazil pays only RM 4.14mil for 50 Eurocopters and Malaysia Boleh with a whopping RM.2.317mil for just 12 units.

While I was reading Malaysia Today, I came across an interesting article titled “EUROCOPTER- HOW MUCH” written by one named T.Gopal. Being curious I checked the website address given below his writing as reference, only to be taken aback. What’s happening in this country?

When we say our politicians and ministers embezzling, robbing, and plundering the wealth of Malaysia, is it an over-board statement? How else could we say when the purchase of 12 Eurocopters E75 is found to be overprized by more than 1.2 billion ringgits in comparison with the same with Brazil?

So, it is most surprising when Dato Najib claims there was neither abuse nor corrupt practice in the purchase of these copters. Wow, that’s something. Maybe for those who are so seasoned with such practice, it would not occur that it is something bad and immoral especially for a senior politician, minister and the one who is going to be a PM soon. Each time a private deal break looses, revealing the exorbitant amount of tax payers’ money we have the minister concerned to offer with some unacceptable explanation.

What baffles me further is that despite all these allegations of mismanagement and corruption UMNO still prefers leaders of such back ground. Is it because the party could not find any eligible leader to lead this country? Or is it that it wants such leaders because they are likes like likes.

It is time we Malaysians really need to concern over these. We need to care who our leaders are, who our prime minister is, are they accountable for every action they take in the name of leadership and authority. Are they the real guardian for Malaysia and Malaysians?

When I first got to know about this theory or mystery for some of us, I had thought it was a mere coincidence that the prime ministers of Malaysia who had succeeded their predecessors carried a letter in the name of RAHMAN as their initial in alphabetical sequence.

 

But it somehow perplexes me now to see how RAHMAN theory has tuned out to be for real. Hence, I have come to believe now Najib will become the Prime Minister Malaysia completing the full cycle of Rahman. Najib would also be the last PM ending the Umno dynasty. Tunku became the first premier of Malaysia at the age of 54 in 1957. He held his position until 1970. Two factors surfaced from Tunku that caught my attention are his name and age; RAHMAN, and 54 years. What that says?

 

Based on the theory Najib would have to be out from his premiership by year 2011 as that year completes 54 years of Umno’s perpetuation which also signifies Tunku Abdul Rahman’s age of 54 when he was appointed as PM. Though we have yet to witness the conclusion, the succession plan in place for Najib to take over is quite certain. The only other thing is the total period for Umno to rule. It’s real evident the party once considered almost indestructible is on its way to self-destructing itself. The disunity and infighting in Umno is all evident that something real bad is brewing. And everything that begins must end. In so saying we could conclude that Umno is destined to rule at least until year 2011.

 

In concurring this, it’s better for Pakatan Rakyat not to attempt to shake up the nature’s will. All Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat needs to do for now is to wait for the fateful year 2011. I’m confident Anwar could become the next PM, begins with the initial of Abdul Razak a new theory so to say!

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

A Very Happy Birthday To You,

Warrior RPK

 

Issue Ragu temporary IC before Hari Raya, says Sultan!

By Ivan Loh. The Star. 25.9.08

IPOH: The Sultan of Perak Sultan Azlan Shah has ordered the National Registration Department (NRD) to issue a temporary identity card to R. Ragu, who had tried to seek the Sultan’s help to apply for a MyKad.

Perak executive councillor A. Sivanesan said the NRD must give Ragu, 33, the temporary identity card before the Hari Raya celebrations.

”They will have to issue the temporary identity card by Monday or Tuesday as ordered by the Tuanku,” said Sivanesan.

”He was very sympathetic towards Ragu and said that this (Ragu’s problem) should not have happened,” he told reporters Friday outside the Istana Kinta after meeting with the Sultan here.

Sivanesan said Ragu would need to get his temporary identity card first and apply for the MyKad later.

”I will try my best to help him with his application to get his citizenship,” he added.

Ragu, who was also outside Istana Kinta here, said he was still unhappy as he had yet to obtain his citizenship.

He said the temporary identity card was for people like the Bangladeshis and Vietnamese.

”I’m a Malaysian citizen, why can’t I get citizenship like anyone else,” he added.

Odd job worker Ragu has been carrying a temporary identity card since 1998 because he was unable to obtain a permanent identity card.

He was abandoned by his parents at the age of four in Parit Buntar and had been under the Social Welfare Department’s care until he was 16.

When he gets the temporary identity card, Ragu will need to renew it annually.

In 2004, he had his temporary identity card revoked by the National Registration Department without any reason given.

He has not been able to get a job to support his family of four and has since travelled across the country with his family to appeal to the NRD to issue him with a MyKad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The interesting fact is Ragu had been under the care of Social Welfare Department until the age of 16. Subsequently he had been issued with temporary identity card which he had been renewing every year until NRD revoked it in 2004.

It’s very appalling as issues of this nature which involves basic rights of citizens seem to be affecting Malaysians of Indians origin more often than anyone else. Not long ago M.Rajeswari age 22, who was six months pregnant, was arrested in Brick Fields, Kuala Lumpur. She was detained for 11 months because the authority disbelieved her story and thought she was a Sri Lankan woman. She had to go through the antagonizing period of 11 months in which time she gave birth to her baby. If not for the timely help of an unnamed nurse and MIYC’s vice president Andrew Raju, Rajeswari would have been thrown out of Malaysia.

In both cases, the authorities involved were negligent, unprofessional and lackadaisical. They did not show any willingness to help these affected Indians. Why is this so? Is there any prejudice in this case? Or could we say this is one reason why Hindraf was born?

Not everyone out there could be Ragu nor every Rajeswari could meet a good Samaritan staff to help them out. Simply asking someone to get a certification from Sultans and ministers is nothing but a pathetic excuse to deny ordinary people’s basic rights, all in the name of requirements and procedures by unscrupulous officers whom I would regard as inhumane.

It is not suffice to propagate “I’m PM for all or I’m leader for all Malaysians. It’s time for leaders to prove to their citizens they truly care for all Malaysians. And they need to walk the talk so that the civil servants could be more caring toward all Malaysians regardless of their ethnical back ground.

So it’s true lah. I received a text message in the afternoon stating that the Sri Mahakaliamman temple  in Ampang Jaya, Selangor was demolished on 19^th Sept 08. The message carried a sender’s number which seemed to be of a third party service provider. Unsure of its fact, I wrote to Malaysiakini providing it with the whole content of text message I had received for confirmation.

And now it’s confirmed. According Malaysiakini’s report today @ http://www1.malaysiakini.com/news/90385 that says Samy slams temple demolition in Pakatan-controlled Selangor. It’s shocking; how could this happen in a state that is controlled by Pakatan Rakyat. Selangor government had promised there would never be a similar incident in the future and in less than 6 months we have to face with another demolition. The PR government owes a detailed explanation and unreserved apology to all Indians in Malaysia.

Or is it a sabotage by BN henchmen in PR government? There seems to be deliberate attempts by certain parties to create unrest among Malaysians of different ethic groups for political mileage. Pakatan Rakyat needs to explain before it’s too late. Those responsible for the demolition must be made answerable and prompt action must be meted out against them.

I’m very sure Indian community will be angered and it worries me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to Ampang MP, Puan Zuraida, they only came to know of the temple being demolished as it was underway. As she was away, she immediately requested her party members and Aduns to rush to the scene. However by the time they reached the scene it was too late as MPAJ had nearly completed the demolition.

Zuraida also claimed that she had settled the situation with the local Indians and temple committee members and promised to do her best & take action against those responsible. The MP suspected agent provocateurs & possible hidden MIC supporters were involved and were suspected to be behind this effort. No further complaints were brought up to the opposition in regards to that and she was surprised with the police report and Samy’s statements.

WE WANT JUSTICE FOR RPK AND OTHERS

When I read Syed Hamid has signed the papers to detain Raja Petra today for the next 2 years under ISA without trial my hatred for the Home Minister grew to the size of a mountain. I despise you to the worst and you seem to me more evil than human.

You are not home minister but evil minister.

You have sinned by arresting Tan, the reporter of Sin Chew news paper

You have sinned by arresting Teresa Kok

You have sinned by arresting RPK and extended his detention for 2 years without trial

You have sinned by arresting the 5 leaders of Hindraf movement which has resulted the emotional suffering of the family members.

You have sinned by detaining many others under ISA without trial

I think you have done great injustice to many innocent people. And the fact that you have made your worse actions during a fasting month, the holiest period for Muslims I believe you have earned the worst karmas that in god’s eye is not forgivable at all.

I feel very soon you are going be answerable to all your misdeeds. I believe there are thousands of them who are despising you right now. The pain and suffering of these innocent people is going make our lord you and I believe to be very angry.

I think your judgment day nearing.

 

My prayers and wishes to RPK and all other ISA detainees and their families.

While sharing my happiness with Teresa and others on her release from ISA, I think we have a serious problem with police in Malaysia. Their action once again reminds me of the famous quote, “with great power comes great responsibility.”

The legendary American President Franklin Roosevelt (1882-1945) have had in numerous times spoken about power and responsibility during in office.

He remarked in his 1945 state of the union address: “In a democratic world, as in a democratic Nation, power must be linked with responsibility….” (From Living Ideas in America, ed. by Henry Steele Commager, p. 703 of the 1951 Harper & Brothers hardcover.)

And in a letter dated sometime in 1908, Theodore Roosevelt said something to this effect, “…I believe in power; but I believe that responsibility should go with power…” (From T.R.: The Last Romantic by H.W. Brands, pp. 628-9 of the 1997 Basic Books hardcover; the letter was published by Harvard in The Letters of Theodore Roosevelt, 8 volumes, 1951-54.)

In discharging his duty as home minister, Syed Hamid is seen to be very negligent and irresponsible. We now know police have been blatant in some cases such as Teresa’s, Tan and Raja Petra. Arresting people by solely relying on accusations that is unsubstantiated must stop.

Law and order is to safeguard the innocent public, lest that not be used for wrong purposes. Home Minister please be responsible and please remember an ex colleague of yours who is very knowledgeable even remarked, it was strange to arrest people only to conduct investigation later.

DAP Seputeh MP Teresa Kok was released at 1pm today after being held under the Internal Security Act for a week, revealed her lawyer Sankara Nair. According to Nair he was on the way to Travers police station to meet her.

I salute you Teresa. Malaysians are proud of you.

In his press conference on 16^th Sept 08, Datuk Ibrahim had candidly acknowledged the existence of “brick walls” that had constantly stopped him carrying out his planned reforms in judiciary and other related areas in the country. Frankly, through out my adulthood life I had never seen a serving minister in Malaysia who was so honest in admitting the shortfalls of the very government he was serving.

He shared his thoughts that reflected the current position of leaders and government. He emphasized a fact that is crucial to the leadership of this country is to “TRUST” all people in Malaysia. Hence, I’m appalled to learn the inconvenient truth that the PM and his cabinet have deceived the people all this while despite his promise to be the PM for all and ministers who said they were ministers for all. Zaid’s says:-

• The government is not fully committed to the basic principles that respects all rights of all citizens that demonstrate one system, one people and one nation
• The leaders and ministers practice discrimination.
• The country lacks commitment and conviction to implement reforms
• Rule of law is merely a lip service
• The leadership doesn’t respect and trust its multi-ethnic citizens
• Leadership practices racism, ethnocentrism and bigotry
• ISA should not be invoked on ordinary citizens of this country

If these are the issues affecting this nation, it makes all the senses for Malaysians to worry. Imagine we have a government that is led by all those racists and bigots. In fact the present government has lost its moral ground to rule Malaysians with this revelation. Bangsa Malaysia will remain as another slogan and nothing more under the circumstances.

Zaid Ibrahim had this to say on his resignation, “I hope this will trigger people and government to do something about the changes that we so badly require. His action and principle deserve tribute from every citizen who truly believes as Malaysian.

Are there anymore leaders and ministers in BN who thinks Malaysian to emulate Zaid Ibrahim, in his or her spirit of true Malaysian?
