Reverend Dr.Eu on Article 153

Article 153 should be inclusive, otherwise it is ‘bullying’, says Christian leader

SUBANG JAYA, Dec 24 — The Federal Constitution’s Article 153 is akin to “bullying” if it only protects the rights of one group, top church leader Reverend Dr Eu Hong Seng said today.

The National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) chairman said the rights in any nation cannot be scrutinised in a vacuum.

“I think we need to talk about the rights of others as well under article 153.

“When we talk of rights of only one group, if I may suggest, that is bullying,” he (picture) said at the Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) Christmas hi-tea here at the Full Gospel Tabernacle.

The annual event was attended by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, MCA’s Loh Seng Kok, DAP’s Hannah Yeoh, PKR’s Chua Tian Chang, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

The reverend said nation building must be collective and for it to work, it has to be inclusive of everybody’s rights, including the East and West Malaysians, Indians, Chinese, Orang Aslis, Malays, the Sikhs and indigenous people.

Eu pointed out that democracy used to mean elected representatives are there to serve the people.

“Today, Malaysian democracy means elected representatives can threaten the people and get away with it.

“This should not be so, and we, the people of the book, are not afraid to say so,” Eu said.

The Christian leader had previously been outspoken about the controversy surrounding the raid on the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) on August 3.

He had repeatedly stressed that there has not been any concrete proof of proselytisation, as claimed by certain quarters.

The contentious raid escalated religious conflict between Muslims and Christians in the country, with Malay newspapers highlighting allegations of Christians trying to convert Muslims through welfare work.

KEZALIMAN TENTERA BRITISH.

Tentera british bunuh orang kampung batang kali (mesti baca)

12 Disember 1948.satu sejarah hitam yag tidak boleh dipadamkan dari sejarah tanahair. ini bukti kerakusan dan kejamnya tentera british yang dikatakan datang membawa keamanan di tanah melayu ketika itu..

Ini adalah sebuah cerita pembunuhan beramai-ramai penduduk keturunan Cina di sebuah ladang getah oleh tentera british sebelum tentera penjajah itu membakar kampung mereka.

Platun ke-7, G Company, yang ke-2 daripada Pengawal Scotland mengepung sebuah kebun getah di Sungai Rimoh, Batang Kali, Selangor, di Malaya. 24 orang penduduk yang tidak bersenjata dan tidak bersalah telah dibunuh.

Tanpa kesempatan melarikan diri dan membela diri, penduduk perkampungan itu telah dituduh sebagai komunis, dalam kejadiaan itu seorang mangsa berjaya menyelamatkan diri, selain itu isteri-isteri dan anak-anak mangsa melihat sendiri kejadian kejam itu dilakukan didepan mata mereka.

Pada 1 November 1949 Satu siasatan rasmi telah dijalankan terhadap arahan Attorney-General Malaya pada ketika itu. hasil daripada siasatan tersebut adalah AG berpuas hati yang ‘saspek-saspek (24 lelaki tersebut) mungkin berjaya melarikan diri jika askar-askar tersebut tidak melepaskan tembakan. Siasatan ini tidak pernah diketengahkan ke pengetahuan umum, atau dihantar ke ‘War Office’.

Apa yang menyebabkan peristiwa penting ini menjadi tragedi besar?, dan adakah mereka komunis seperti yang didakwa.

Satu kenyataan Surat Khabar Inggeris (The People) pada 1 Februari 1970 telah membongkar dan mengutuk pembunuhan kejam tersebut. Kenyataan bersumpah daripada Tentera British (bekas Pengawal Scotland) menunjukkan fakta-fakta yang berikut:-

i. patrol tersebut mendapat arahan awal untuk memusnahkan kampung berkenaan;
ii. ahli-ahli patrol telah diberi peluang untuk tidak melibatkan diri dengan pembunuhan itu;
iii. Mangsa-mangsa telah ditembak tanpa mencuba untuk melarikan diri; dan
iv. terdapat konspirasi untuk menipu soal siasat pada 1949.

Malah Setiausaha Pertahanan (Dennis Healy) mengarahkan Polis Penyiasat Scotland untuk menubuhkan pasukan tugasan khas (diketuai oleh Frank Williams) untuk menyiasat perkara ini. Hasil daripada siasatan ini, bukti yang kukuh telah dapat dikumpulkan, yang menunjukkan bahawa kejadian pembunuhan kejam di Batang Kali pada Disember 1948 memang sebenarnya telah berlaku.

Istilah Pembunuhan kejam digunakan kerana siasatan mendapati tindakan Platun ke-7, G Company adalah silap, mereka yang dibunuh bukan anggota komunis seperti yang didakwa..

Satu dokumentari BBC pada 9 September 1992 , menyiarkan laporan siasatan mengenai pembunuhan beramai-ramai tersebut yang bertajuk “In Cold Blood” disiarkan di United Kingdom dan mendedahkan bukti baru mengenainya.

Dokumetari tersebut menyiarkan laporan-laporan saksi-saksi dan mangsa-mangsa yang terselamat termasuk pengakuan sesetengah bekas Pengawal Scotland dan temuramah bersama Pegawai Polis Penyiasat Scotland yang telah menyiasat kes ini pada 1970. Ia jelas menunjukkan kesalahan Pengawal-pengawal Scotland berkenaan dan penipuan besar-besaran berkenaan pembunuhan tersebut. Walaubagaiamanapun, tiada apa yang telah dilakukan oleh kerajaan UK selepas itu dan tiada pegawai British
yang telah ditahan.


Umnoapco sebelum ini sibuk menuduh orang itu dan orang ini komunis, walaupun tiada bukti nyata keterlibatan mereka secara langsung dengan komunis, ia sama seperti apa yang telah dilakukan oleh platun ke 7 tentera british dulu.

Fikirkan juga mengapa tentera Britain tergamak membakar sebuah kampung di Batang Kali itu hanya kerana bimbangkan ancaman komunis walaupun penduduk kampung itu sebenarnya tidak bersenjata mahupun membahayakan tentera terbabit,malah tiada bukti mereka terlibat secara langsung dengan komunis, adakah kerana mereka berbangsa cina maka mereka dilebelkan komunis?

Apa yang umnoapco lakukan sekarang sama, walaupun seseorang itu tidak dapat dibuktikan terlibat secara langsung dengan komunis, tetapi jika ia satu ancaman, ia perlu diburukkan dan dicop sebagai bahaya.

@TUKANGLAWAN Fikir pasti ada sesuatu yang british mahu dari Malaya dulu.

Wakil-wakil ABU di sidang akhbar di Kuala Lumpur hari ini

Berikut adalah teks kenyataan media yang disampaikan di sidang media di Kuala Lumpur serta di sidang-sidang media di seluruh Malaysia, kecuali di Sabah dan Sarawak. Sabah dan Sarawak dijangka akan mengadakan sidang media untuk umumkan initiatif sendiri dalam masa yang terdekat ini.
___________________________
Kami merayu dan menyeru kepada semua; pekerja, petani, nelayan, persatuan dan pertubuhan, badan kerajaan dan bukan kerajaan (NGO), parti politik komponen Barisan Nasional, kecuali UMNO, parti pembangkang atau parti politik bebas, golongan profesional, ahli akademik dan cendiakawan, mahasiswa, karyawan, para artis dan pekerja seni, malah semua kelompok rakyat tersisih dan tertindas (marginalised) seperti kumpulan Mat Rempit, gelandangan (homeless), penganggur (jobless) dan lain-lain supaya melahirkan dengan nyata (melalui kenyataan media seperti ini atau tunjuk perasaan dan sebagainya) rasa tidak yakin kita masing-masing terhadap UMNO yang sudah tidak sedar diri, korup, angkuh, menindas, zalim dan kebelakangan ini BODOH SOMBONG!!!

Kini bukan masanya lagi untuk kita terus mendiamkan diri dan tidak mahu ambil tahu, kecuali anda rela mewariskan Malaysia yang musnah kepada generasi akan datang. Masihkah kita tidak nampak atau sengaja mahu membiarkan saja apabila sisa-baki hak demokratik rakyat yang hanya tinggal secebis itu pun dinafikan, manakala segala tuntutan rakyat terus diabaikan?
Sepanjang pemerintahan UMNO/BN kita semua juga sebenarnya telah bersama-sama menyumbang –akibat sikap kita yang ‘biarkanlah’, ‘tidak kisah’ serta ‘ignorant‘, dll– dalam menyemai kuasa kuku besi pemerintah yang kejam hinggalah kini kuasa itu menjadi parah dan terlalu mencengkam.

ABU akan melancarkan kempen ke seluruh Negara untuk menyeru rakyat supaya berani menyatakan pendirian jijik dan perasaan meluat mereka terhadap penyelewengan dan rasuah yang UMNO/BN amalkan, lantas dengan tidak teragak-agak menolak UMNO/BN.
Kesan yang kini dirasai rakyat ialah kenaikan harga barang yang melampau. 80 peratus rakyat Malaysia kini terpaksa menanggung beban kos sarahidup yang semakin tinggi. Sedangkan pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO/BN dan kroninya hidup dengan mewah sekali.
Kewujudan undang-undang kejam yang menekan dan menzalimi rakyat sehingga teguran dan rintihan rakyat tidak dipedulikan. Bantahan rakyat dengan angkuh diperangi secara kejam dan ganas. Kini timbul pula undang-undang Perhimpunan Aman 2011 yang langsung tidak masuk akal.

Politik perkauman digunakan untuk menakutkan rakyat. Taktik ‘pecah’ dan ‘perintah’ dilaksanakan untuk menutup berita penyelewengan dan rasuah serta boros dan tamaknya pemimpin-peminpin UMNO/BN ini. Selama pemerintahan UMNO/BN rakyat Malaysia didodoikan dengan slogan perkauman sempit. Kini isu agama dicipta dan diapi-apikan untuk memastikan kelangsungan jangkahayat politik UMNO/BN.
Kini keselamatan rakyat akan terancam dengan kewujudan kilang Lynas dimana kesan radioaktif akan membahayakan mereka. Alasan petroleum semakin kering digunakan bagi kononnya mencari sumber ekonomi yang baru malah wang simpanan Negara telah masuk ke dalam poket pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO/BN dan kroninya. Lynas akan menjamin keuntungan mereka walaupun membahayakan rakyat.

Operator-operator kami di seluruh Negara sudahpun menjalankan kerja-kerja penerangan kepada rakyat, termasuk anggota polis, tentera dan kakitangan awam agar lebih celik kepada pembohongan dan kekejaman yang dilakukan pada mereka oleh UMNO/BN.
Kini, ketika cebisan harapan hak-hak rakyat dalam keadaan uzur kritikal yang hampir saja mustahil dapat dipertahankan akibat dibantai pemerintah selama ini, apakah lagi alasan dapat mewajarkan ketakutan dibiarkan bermaharaja-lela membungkam suara hati kita?

Apabila tuntutan rakyat tidak dihiraukan malah terus saja dipersendakan pemerintah, cukupkah sekadar bersandarkan alasan-alasan ideal (umpamanya; apolitical, non-partisan, impartial dan macam-macam lagi) sebagai lapik indah. Sudah tiba masanya bagi kita untuk tidak lagi menghalalkan sifat ‘dayus’ dan ‘bacul’ kita dengan terus kekal takut untuk bangkit berjuang menyatakan pendirian dan terus menolak UMNO/BN.
Dengan ini kami umumkan pada 15 Disember 2011 jam 8.00 malam satu forum besar-besaran akan diadakan di Markas Tarbiyah PAS, Taman Melewar, Gombak. Forum yang akan dihadiri oleh rakyat dari seluruh Negara ini akan juga membuat satu lagi pengumuman besar yang akan merubah situasi politik di Negara Malaysia.

My December 2011 Letter

Beautiful Urumqi

Layman's understanding of the 2012 budget.

Subject: A LAYMAN'S INTERPRETATION OF NAJIB'S 2012 BUDGET

Being only a retired military officer, I may be blind to the economic facts, but certainly not stupid to swallow a pack of untruths (I do not like to use the word lies). Firstly, a bunch of 'one off" handouts that mainly makes the civil servants, soldiers,policemen,pensioners happy. Then some populist moves across the board to give everyone hope.

Now, I wonder and ask some searching questions: 1. Is there a long term investment beyond 2012 in the budget? Nyet,Nadai,Nien,Bo liau,Tadak,Yillai!!!! So, is it wrong for me to assume that the whole idea is to con the people into an election victory and then do the fire fighting/damage control etc. later? How often have you heard recently from govt depts, "Allocation ada, duit belum terima". Here, they were playing a mahjong game, with the skills of a Tai Chi exponent. It gets us by, believe me, but it doesn't solve the problem. 2. How can Jibby confidently predict a 5 to 6 % GDP growth in 2012 to "afford" the expenditure, when the world is on the brink of an impendingdouble dip recession? I would guess that 4 to 4.5% would be more realistic at most. Now here lies the biggest failure.

THERE IS NO CONTINGENCY WHATSOEVER IF THE RECESSION KICKS IN!!!! Remember, failure to plan is planning a failure. 3. How is the deficit gap going to close? There is no clear cut plans onprudent spending against added revenue collection. The Capital Gains Tax increase is a drop in the ocean. More money can be collected from stamp duties due to the volume of transactions anyway. Yes, there is transformation; from one area of unproductiveness to another area of unproductiveness. Budget deficits translate into debts. Debt servicing was RM12.8 billion in 2008. For 2012, it is estimated to be RM20.5 billion - an increase of nearly 60%." Let's do the math-take interest rate at 5%, RM12.8 billion debt service charges in 2008 would make federal government debt at RM256 billion.

 Now with debt service charges at RM20.5 billion, the federal government's debt is projected at RM410 billion. This is an increase of RM154 billion from 2008 to 2012, an average increase of RM38.5 billion per year. That would now be the nation's annual actual deficit!!!!! Yes, I have tears in my eyes too, because my children will have to pay for it. 4. Where is Jibby going to get the money? Yes, from us, my friends, the long suffering 1.7 million tax payers. The long awaited GST will be shoved in after the election. Mark my words.The EPF (Employees Provident Fund) and other government-linked funds will be asked to do national service by investing in debt papers issued by the government. Again, a case of using the peoples'money to bail out a financially weak government. So, in essence I say, look at the forest my dear friends and now tell me how they are ruining my beloved Malaysia. Call me a pessimist, non believer, not a risk taker etc. but I ask- CAN YOU RUN A COUNTRY ON BORROWED TIME? The answer is YES! If you are a leader living on borrowed time.May God Bless Us All.

Subject: MCA, I want to vote for PAS!" – Aku nak pilih PAS !!

Chinese Malaysians must read! MCA, I want to vote for PAS!" Semua orang-orang Cina Malaysia mesti membaca ini, saya nak pilih PAS! As a Chinese Malaysian, there is no Rocket or Keadlian contesting in my constituency, only a direct clash between UMNO and PAS. Now, I'm officially announcing it here - in the next GE, I will vote for PAS! Sebagai seorang orang Cina Malaysia, saya dapati tidak ada Roket atau PKR bertanding dalam kawasan saya, hanya satu lawan satu antara UMNO dan PAS. Saya mau dgn resmi mengistiharkan bahawa pada PRU 13 ini saya akan pilih PAS! Looking at the MCA leaders attacking Islamic hudud laws during their annual general assembly on the pretext that they are protecting Malaysian multi-culturalism, I wish to say, MCA, go to hell! Hukum Hudud diserang habis-habisan oleh MCA dalam Perhimpunan Agung mereka...kononnya mereka melindungi atau menyelamat masyarakat majmuk Malaysia. Saya ingin berkata MCA pergi jahanamlah lu. As a Chinese in Malaysia, now I wish to tell MCA, in the next general election, I will vote for PAS! I don't wan to entertain you anymore! Don't tell me that by forming an Islamic country, hands and feet will be chopped off. Malaysia under your rule and Umno - even Teoh Beng Hock can fall from a building! Cops can shoot as they please! Not to mention the ones that died in custody! Before our hands and feet are chopped off by PAS, we might die abused by you - the authorities! JANGAN CUBA MENAKUT-NAKUTKAN AKU DGN NEGARA ISLAM, KAKI DAN TANGAN MANUSIA AKAN DIPOTONG. Malaysia dibawah pemerintahan kamu dan UMNO orang boleh jatuh dari bangunan lihatlah TEOH BENG HOCK. Mata-mata menembak sesuka hati! Apatah lagi ada yg mati semasa dalam tahanan di lokap polis. Sebelum kaki serta tangan kami dipotong oleh PAS, kami boleh mati kerana diseksa oleh kamu – pihak berkuasa! MCA, a pathetic party, tarnishing PAS in the papers everyday. Do you know, PAS allocates land to 'support' Chinese secondary schools in Kelantan. In Perak, the same thing happened when a PAS leader was the Menteri Besar. @#@ MCA, you've been the government for many years, but failed to institutionalize allocations for Chinese schools, and now you're telling us not to vote for PAS, crazy! MCA sebuah parti politik yg pathetik, memburuk-burukkan PAS di akhbar setiap hari. Tahukah kamu yg PAS memberi tanah utuk membina sekolah menengah Cina di Kelantan. Di Perak perkara yg sama terjadi bila seorang pemimpin PAS jadi Menteri Besar. @!x?** MCA. Kamu telah lama memerintah tapi gagal memberikan peruntukan yg bererti kpd sekolah-sekolah Cina – sekarang kamu arah kami agar jangan pilih PAS, gila!! @#@, MCA you are a huge party but in your general assembly, the time was used to attack Islamic idealism, but at the same time you quietly bow to Umno's narrow racist mind, what kind of a pathetic party is this? A pathetic party that cannot be saved! When Umno attacked, saying Chinese are "immigrants", telling us to go back to Tongsan, it was PAS who came forward to defend us! @!xxx@!, MCA sebuah parti yg besar tapi pada Perhimpunan Agung kamu, banyak masa kamu habiskan menyerang idealisma Islam dalam masa yg sama kamu menyembah idelogi rasis yg sempit UMNO. Parti kamu amat keji amat pathetik. Tiada obat lagi buat kamu, MCA tidak dapat diselamatkan lagi!! Bila UMNO serang orang-orang Cina mengatakan orang Cina “Pendatang”  dan menghambat kita keluar dan pulang ke Negeri China PAS yg datang mempertahankan hak-hak orang-orang Cina Malaysia! When Umno prohibits non-Muslims from using the word Allah, it was PAS who came forward to defend non-Muslims' rights! When Umno prohibits non-Muslims from entering mosques and suraus, it was PAS who came forward to oppose Umno! When the pro-Umno Perkasa attacked Pakatan Rakyat for betraying the Malays, it was PAS who came forward to stop them! Bila UMNO menghalang bukan Islam mengunna perkataan Allah, PAS yg datang untuk mempertahankan hak-hak orang bukan Islam. Bila UMNO menghalang bukan Islam memasukki surau dan mesjid PAS yang tampil menentang UMNO!  Bila Perkasa, pro-UMNO serang Pakatan Rakyat kerana kononnya membelot PAS juga yang tampil menentang. @#@, what are you doing, MCA? Only capable of saying Umno should not be like this, like that. If you are really great, why is is that the Chinese are still second class citizens? If you really do have a backbone, the get out of Barisan Nasional, stupid! My anger is raging.For so long you've taken money, one PKFZ project you took RM12.5 billion, one Facebook you took RM1.8 million, and the other ones? You took the people's money! PAS? Have you heard of PAS taking bribes? PAS is known for its honesty, 20 years of ruling Kelantan, not one corruption case, the Menteri Besar is still living in a 'kampung' house, eats nasi lemak! You guys simply say if you win you'll eat lobster, and you still want us to vote for you?" ?/@@!%*, apa yang kamu buat MCA? Hanya pandai mengeluarkan pendapat, UMNO tidak patut buat begitu, begini. Kalaulah kamu benar-benar parti yg hebat, mengapakah orang-orang Cina Malaysia hingga kini sebagai Warga Negara Kelas 2? Kalau kamu MCA ada tulang belakang yg kuat aku cabar kamu keluarlah dari Barisan Nasional...kamu bodoh, bahlol!! Perasaan marahku berkobar-kobar. Sekian lama kamu menipu, satu projek PKFZ kamu ambil 12.5 billion. Satu projek Facebook kamu ambil RM 1.8 juta. Lagi? Dan lagi? Kamu ambil wang rakyat !! PAS? Kamu pernah dengar yg PAS menerima wang sogokan – rasuah? PAS terkenal dengan keikhlasan dan ketelusan. 20 tahun mentadbir Kelantan tidak satupun kes rasuah. Menteri Besar Kelantan sampai kini tinggal dalam rumah kampong, makan nasilemak bungkus di warung! Kamu MCA kalau menang mau makan udang galah, ada muka mau minta aku memilih kamu? MCA, get lost! When the Prime Minister announced he will abolish ISA because of pressure from the people, like a dog, you immediately agreed! @#@, for so long you've been supporting that draconian act, and now you've changed in a blink of an eye? You think the people are stupid? MCA pergi mampuslah!  Bila PM istihar ISA akan dimansuhkan kerana tekanan orang ramai, seperti seekor anjing, kamu MCA bersetuju!! @??&#@ sekian lama kamu menyokong undang-undang drakonian ini sekarang dgn sekelipmata kamu setuju? Hoi MCA kamu ingat orang bodoh kah? Kamu ingat aku bodoh kah? For so long, PAS led the people to fight, either in the anti-ISA rally, Bersih 1.0 or Bersih 2.0, PAS is always in the front-line to fight against tyranny - facing tear gas, and water canons! On 9 July, Umno attacked us for rallying on the streets. At a critical moment, Unit Amal PAS made way, and said "Let the Chinese out first, we protect them!" @#@, where were you MCA? Where did you hide at the time? Now you're telling us not to vote for PAS, to hell with you! @#@, for so long you've been ruling us, that porn video president is still on the stage urging the government to do this and that. Have you ever thought of yourselves as the government? If you yourselves can't do it, then switch! Stupid! Sekian lama PAS turunpadang memimpin rakyat utk menentang samada dalam himpunan anti ISA, Bersih 1.0 atau Bersih 2.0. PAS sentiasa pada barisan depan menentang kezaliman; rela diracuni ges pemidihmata dan meriam air berkimia. Pada 09 Julai 2011 UMNO  menyerang kami kerana berhimpun dan demonstrasi di jalanan. Pada detik-detik kritikal Unit Amal PAS muncul segera menolong dgn kata-kata “keluarkan saudara-saudara Cina lebihdulu, kita melindungi mereka!” F.... dimana kamu MCA?! Dimana kamu bersembunyi pada waktu itu? Sekarang ada muka, ada hati untuk memberitahu kami agar jangan pilih PAS, pergi mampuslah!! Fx x x x x  kamu memerintah sekian lama, itu presiden Chua yg berlakon dlm pronografi sering atas pentas memberi pandangan dan pendapat kpd kerajaan...... The best thing is, Liow Tiong Lai, challenged DAP to get out of Pakatan Rakyat. When Islamic law was passed in Kelantan and Terengganu, Umno state assemblymen supported by raising both of their hands. Not one vote was given by DAP. Why don't you lead MCA to get out of Barisan Nasional? PAS wants to implement hudud Laws, this is the party's ultimate goal. It is like the Progressive Democratic Party in Taiwan who fought for independence, which surely won't happen, because it is not allowed in the political reality. Furthermore, PAS is cooperating with the other two party components in Pakatan Rakyat, who will surely govern based on the Orange Book - not just the ultimate goal of PAS or DAP. Maybe some will ask, what about Kelantan? I would like to ask them, even if it is implemented in Kelantan, what's the fuss? If you're not a Muslim, what has it got anything to do with you? Furthermore, you should wait until PAS wins two-thirds majority to amend the constitution. For now, the government has yet to be even changed. Now with the amount of phantom voters, it would difficult for Pakatan Rakyat to win one third of the seats! Memang perjuangan PAS utk melaksanakan hukum Islam. Macam juga Parti Demokratik Progresif Taiwan yg memperjuangkan kemerdekaan (yg tak mungkin direlisasikan). PAS bekerjasama dgn baik dengan DAP dan PKR dalam Pakatan Rakyat, yg kelak akan memerintah berasaskan Buku Jingga. Mungkin ada yg bertanya, Kelantan macam mana?        Saya nak tanya mereka, kalaupun Hudud dilaksanakan di Kelantan apa salahnya? Kalau kamu bukan Muslim, apa yg nak ditakutkan? Still a lot of Chinese are saying, we'll die if the Pakatan Rakyat gets two-thirds majority. I say @#@, my foot, if Pakatan Rakyat wins two-third, DAP will surely have 50 seats. If DAP would not vote for it, there would be no amendments. And then, more Chinese are asking, what if DAP become cowards and support the implementation of hudud laws? If you don't like it, then switch back to Barisan Nasional! Is it that there can't be no more elections after the change of government in the next GE? Aren't elections about giving us the opportunity to change the government if we don't agree with its policies? Adalagi orang-orang Cina Malaysia berpendapat kalau Pakatan memerintah teruklah kita. Saya kata f.... off, kalau Pakatan menang DAP tentu ada 50 kerusi.....dan kalau DAP tidak mengundi kpd sesuatu resolusi atau amendmen maka TIDAK ADA amendmen. Some Chinese are just stupid, I'm saying it openly here. If in the next election, we support a government that have been corrupt for so long, just because we are afraid of hudud laws that are not even there, then the Chinese are a real disgrace. The fate of the Chinese community will be destroyed by their own hands! Wake up, and don't be fooled by MCA! Only when we vote for Rocket, Keadilan and Moon and unite to change this pathetic government can we fix the conditions of the Chinese community in the country. If you love your race, if you love your people, if you love your country, share this writing with all your friends. In the next election, we sing together the song "Moon is the shape of my heart" (a famous Chinese song)! 月亮代表我的心 Merdeka Review/Malaysia Chronicle Sesetengah Cina-Malaysia bodoh dan saya berkata kpd mereka secara terbuka di sini. Kalaulah pada Pilihanraya Umum akan datang kita menyokong lagi kerajaan yg sekian lama korrup hanya kerana kita takut pd Hudud yg tidak pun terlaksana, maka nyatalah kaum Cina hina sekali. Kalau kita sayang kpd ras kita, kpd ethnik kita dan kpd Negara kita sebarlah cetusan hati-nurani saya ini kepada semua kakawan-kawan saudara. Pada pilihanraya akan datang kita sama-sama nyanyikan lagu月亮代表我的心  “Perasaanku laksana bulan penuh”.

Tunku Abdul Aziz: Together We Will Change Malaysia, Once & For All, For ...

DIPPED IN THE AMBIGUITY......

DUMC - Jais: Bishop Troubled by Sultan's Statement Terence Nett Oct 1 Catholic Bishop Paul Tan Chee Ing described the statement from the Sultan of Selangor on the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) report on alleged proselytisation of Muslims by Christians at the Damansara Utama Methodist Centre last August as “dipped in the ambiguity that would make wanton accusations against Christians no more difficult in the future than it is now.” “Begging the Tuanku’s pardon, how is it possible to assert that there were attempts to deviate the faith of Muslim attendees at the dinner function at the DUMC but there is, then, not sufficient evidence to prefer charges,” queried the titular head of Catholics in the Malacca-Johor diocese, in an immediate response to a statement on the matter issued today by the Sultan. “If there is not enough evidence, there ought to be no imputation of wrongdoing – it’s as simple as that!” exclaimed Tan (above), who is concurrently president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Malaysia. “As it stands now, the Sultan’s statement paints the Christian organisers of the dinner function as having been given a discharge not amounting to acquittal from accusations that they proselytised to Muslims,” he asserted. “I would have much preferred no statement at all to one that is neither here nor there,” offered the Jesuit-trained prelate. "Christians have waited patiently for exoneration from false accusations by people whose intent is to grandstand on behalf of their losing causes,” said the bishop. “It’s a good thing the general election is imminent, because there seems to be no let-up in this ugly campaign of innuendo and insinuation against Christians, so that the ballot box becomes our only recourse from persecution by vile slander,” he concluded. -

Peranakan/Cina Benteng/Kiau-Seng


Peranakan Chinese and Baba-Nyonya are terms used for the descendants of late 15th and 16th-century Chinese immigrants to the Indonesian archipelago of Nusantara during the Colonial era.

Members of this community in Melaka address themselves as "Nyonya Baba" instead of "Baba-Nyonya". Nyonya is the term for the ladies and Baba for the gentlemen. It applies especially to the ethnic Chinese populations of the British Straits Settlements of Malaya and the Dutch-controlled island of Java and other locations, who have adopted partially or in full Nusantara customs to be somewhat assimilated into the local communities. They were the elites of Singapore, more loyal to the British than to China. Most have lived for generations along the straits of Malacca and not all intermarried with the local Native Indonesians and Malays. They were usually traders, the middleman of the British and the Chinese, or the Chinese and Malays, or vice versa because they were mostly English educated. Because of this, they almost always had the ability to speak two or more languages. In later generations, some lost the ability to speak Chinese as they became assimilated to the Malay Peninsula's culture and started to speak Malay fluently as a first or second language.

While the term Peranakan is most commonly used among the ethnic Chinese for those of Chinese descent also known as Straits Chinese (土生華人; named after the Straits Settlements), there are also other, comparatively small Peranakan communities, such as Indian Hindu Peranakans (Chitty), Indian Muslim Peranakans (Jawi Pekan) (Jawi being the Javanised Arabic script,[2] Pekan a colloquial contraction of Peranakan[2]) and Eurasian Peranakans (Kristang[2]) (Kristang = Christians).[2][3] The group has parallels to the Cambodian Hokkien, who are descendants of Hoklo Chinese. They maintained their culture partially despite their native language gradually disappearing a few generations after settlement.[4

Another Penang initiative that will surely be copied by Be End hahaha

RM1,000 for Penang school leavers entering tertiary institutions Posted on 28 August 2011 - 05:20pm Last updated on 28 August 2011 - 05:25pm Aaron Ngui SEBERANG PERAI (Aug 28, 2011): A total of 1,375 secondary school leavers from Penang who will be continuing their studies at public higher learning institutions will receive RM1,000 from the state government this year. The money is intended help them defray costs for their travel and student affairs expenses. Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng (pix) expressed hope that those who received the money will return to Penang to contribute to the state's development. He said this was because the state had many career opportunities, as evident in it being able to attract some RM12 billion in investments last year, the highest in Malaysia. “Penang is also cleaner, greener and safer now,” he said, citing reduction in crime by 72 percent last year. He said this when presenting 30 students with their aid money during a ceremony at the Dewan JKR in Bukit Mertajam here today. Lim also handed out RM1,000 each to 71 beneficiaries under the state’s Senior Citizens Appreciation Scheme in which the next-of-kin receives the payment upon the death of the registrant. The money is to defraying funeral and related expenses. “Taking care of those who took care of us when we were young is the right and proper thing to do,” he said.

Mengenali Tunku Aziz – Bahagian Pertama 15 September 2011 Dalam satu wawancara dengan wartawan Roketkini, Amaluddin Zhafir dengan Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim, Naib Pengerusi Kebangsaan DAP ini telah berkongsi pengalaman beliau yang sedikit sebanyak menyelami kehidupan lampau beliau dan sedikit pandangan politik beliau. Dilahirkan pada tahun 1934, Tunku Abdul membesar di zaman perang dunia kedua, mengaharungi hidup beliau dengan pelbagai rencam kehidupan. Menceritakan sejarah beliau pra-Merdeka, seperti menyelami dan dapat merasai kehidupan beliau dan kesengsaraannya sendiri. Tunku seorang yang mahir berbicara, tutur katanya lembut, penuh makna dan sindiran, dan jenaka. Masih lagi sedikit dengan pelat Kedah beliau, Tunku seperti kebanyakan pemimpin utama DAP, adalah seorang yang rendah diri. Umpama resmi padi, makin berusia, makin menunduk. Zaman pendudukan Jepun “Pada tahun kelahiran saya, ayah saya ditukar ke Kuala Nerang sebagai OCPD Kuala Nerang. Tunku Abdul Rahman juga waktu itu jadi Deputy District Officer Kuala Nerang. “Dari situ, kedua-dua mereka dipindahkan ke Langkawi, Tunku DO Langkawi, ayah saya OCPD. “Ayah saya tak sampai setahun ditukar balik ke Alor Setar dan ke Gurun pada 1937 dan tinggal di sana sehingga mulanya perang Jepun,” ceritanya dengan kadang-kadang merenung kembali kehidupan beliau di waktu itu. Sambung Tunku, “Ketika perang sudah betul-betul hampir, saya kecil lagi masa tu. Dok nampaklah askar-askar British bersiap naik ke Jitra sebab Jitra adalah barisan depan pertahanan. “Terusan Wan Mat Saman masa tu mana ada jambatan. Yang ada cuma yang orang Melayu kita buat dengan batang nyior dan kemudian guna batang pinang. Jadi, masa dekat nak perang, askar British buat jambatan. Jadi luaslah, banyak kenderaan boleh masuk, keluar. “Masa perang tu, ketika British kalah di Jitra, Alor Setar juga sudah jatuh, mereka turun ke Gurun. Gurun adalah barisan kedua pertahanan. Sebelum Jepun sampai ke Gurun, dalam masa 24 jam, Jitra yang dah jatuh. Sampai Gurun, kononnyalah, di situ British hendak perang dengan Jepun. “Seperti di Jitra, di Gurun pun begitu. Tetapi 24 jam sebelum Gurun diserang, baru British bebaskan polis dari bertahan. Sebelum tu, polis kena bertugas. Dan bila dilepaskan itulah, turun ke Kulim dan dari Kulim turun ke Bandar Baru. “Waktu itu, semuanya turunlah bersama. Termasuk keluarga-keluarga, termasuk Sultan, semua ikut pergi sebelah selatan Kedah. Lepas tu dan Jepun masuk dia dah pergi turun lagi lah sampai Ipoh, Slim River, Kuala Lumpur…” Menurut Tunku, dua atau tiga minggu selepas itu, semua pegawai kerajaan dikerah untuk bertugas kembali. Bila mereka pulang ke rumah masing-masing, habis berlubang kediaman dek peluru. Padang kawad polis pula dipenuhi dengan tinggalan topeng gas, senapang-senapang, bren gun, machine gun dan lain-lain. Malah, maya-maya masih bergelimpangan di kawasan itu. “Setakat yang saya ingat, lebih kurang seminggu lebihlah baru mayat orang yang mati dalam perang diubah. Bila diubahkan mayat-mayat itu, rumput-rumput dah jadi kuning. Jadi, kita boleh nampaklah outline kuning tinggalan mayat-mayat tu. “Ramai yang terkorban. Kebanyakan yang mati itu askar British lah tetapi kebanyakaannya British Indian Army yang terdiri dari Gurkha, Bengali, Sikh, dan Islam dari Baluchistan… Mereka ni sebahagian dari British. Itu tahun 1941,” jelasnya mengakhiri nostalgia zaman perang. Zaman persekolahan “Saya betul-betul belajar adalah adalah selepas perang, barangkali ketika umur saya 11 tahun. Saya masuk Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid. Saya ambil Special Malay Class. Saya di kolej itu sampai tahun 1949. kemudian pindah ke Klang. Tunku menjelaskan di Klang High School, beliau sangat aktif – menjadi pengawas sekolah, kapten pasukan ragbi, pemain bola sepak sekolah, pengarang untuk majalah sekolah dan turut aktif sebagai setiausaha kelab debat. “Maksudnya saya sangat-sangat aktif. Bukan semata-mata nak belajar saja,” katanya menyambung, “Kemudian tubuhkan Young Malayans Club, yang diarahkan oleh seorang guru besar orang putih. Jadi dia keluarkan satu akhbar untuk pelajar, namanya Young Malayan, dalam bahasa Inggerislah.” Atas dorongan guru besar Tunku, F.J. Rockliff, warga Australia, beliau disarankan menyambung pelajaran di Liverpool kerana menurut guru besarnya, beliau aktif dengan ragbi. “Bila balik jadi guru,” kata Rockliff kepadanya, “Kita boleh ajar budak-budak main ragbi.” “Jadi, dia cadangkan dan saya diberi biasiswa dihantar pergi ke maktab perguruan Kirkby di Liverpool iaitu pada tahun 1954. Saya di sana selama dua tahun. Saya kembali dalam September 1956, setahun sebelum merdeka. Jadi masa tu, pejabat Pelajaran tanya, mana tempat suka untuk pergi mengajar. “Waktu itu, saya dok tengok, orang ramai nak pergi mengajar ke pekan-pekan besar. Tetapi, saya minta nak pergi ke kawasan pantai timur, sebelah Pahang, Kelantan dan Terangganu kerana saya fikir, kerajaan dah bagi satu peluang yang besar dapat latihan di England lagi. Jadi masa tu, saya fikir saya kena bagi balik kepada negara kita, lagi pun, macam pantai timur ni, macam Kelantan, Pahang, Terangganu ni, masyarakat Melayu masa tu keadaannya cukup teruk. “Sekolah pun kekurangan. Jadi saya rasa itulah tempat yang saya boleh tolong bantu kepada budak-budak Melayu kita. Keadaan di sana juga bukan menyenangkan sangat. Masa tu kalau nak mandi kena turun ke sungai, bukan macam sekarang. “Ya, saya memang suka buat kerja di sana,” ujarnya bersemangat. Bagi Tunku, sebagai rakyat yang dibantu kerajaan, beliau ada rasa tanggungjawab membantu kembali kerajaan. “Macam sekarang, kita tengok budak-budak dapat biasiswa, dapat pinjaman, dah kerja pun masih tak bayar. Kita kena ada tanggungjawab. Kita dah terima pertolongan. Ini duit rakyat, jadi kalau kita tak bayar, orang lain tak dapat peluang, tak cukup duit,” jelasnya. Selepas habis kontrak lima tahun oleh Kirkby College sebagai guru, Tunku mengambil keputusan untuk menyambung pelajaran di Universiti Tasmania di Australia untuk mengambil jurusan Sains Politik dan Sejarah. Mengamal ilmu yang ditimba “Ini pasal politik… Kita merdeka dan sebelum itu pun orang Kedah pun dah ramai… Tengoklah kebanyakan yang jadi orang penting siapa dia? Orang Kedah seperti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Khir Johari, Encik Senu. Ini semua orang Kedah. “Lagi pun, orang yang masa itu yang ada pelajaran tinggi, bukan di tempat lain, Kedah dah ada orang yang pergi Oxford dan Cambridge. Jadi memang kita punya kesedaran, nak dapatkan kemerdekaan negara kita, jadi sebab itu saya fikir waktu itu untuk belajar Sains Politik dan Sejarah. “Sebab kalau kita tak faham sejarah kita, termasuk hikayat dan sebagainya, susahlah. Jadi masa tu lagi kita berasa kita kena berusaha,” jelas Tunku panjang lebar apabila ditanya kenapa memilih Sains Politik dan Sejarah. Di Universiti Tasmania, Tunku merupakan orang bukan kulit putih pertama yang menjadi pengarang majalah kesatuan pelajar di sana, iaitu Togatus yang masih wujud hingga sekarang. Menurutnya, ia adalah sesuatu yang luar biasa bagi orang kulit putih di sana sehingga timbul rasa hormat terhadap anak Melayu yang boleh menulis dan menyunting Bahasa Inggeris dengan baik. Tambah Tunku, beliau bukan kesorangan malah turut di bantu oleh sahabat baik beliau, Salleh Ben Joned, penyair terkenal Malaysia, yang ketika itu menjadi pengarang bahagian sastera majalah tersebut. “Selepas saya balik, Salleh Ben Joned pula ganti jadi pengarang Togatus. Tengoklah, orang Melayu memang boleh pun,” jelasnya. Menyebut tentang kebolehan dan kemahiran orang Melayu, fikiran Tunku tertumpu kepada system pendidikan di Malaysia pada masa ini. Bagi beliau, pembelajaran Bahasa Inggeris amat penting untuk bersaing di peringkat antarabangsa. “Kita perlu ada semangat dan keazaman politik yang kuat untuk melakukan perubahan. Kita perlu menyusun semula sistem pendidikan dengan bersistematik.” Mengimbas kembali sistem pengajian ketika era kolonial, jelas Tunku, “Jika kita gagal dalam Bahasa Inggeris, kita akan gagal dalam semua mata pelajaran. Kenapa orang ramai perlu terima keadaan ini? Ini kerana mereka tiada pilihan dan kita juga waktu itu perlukan Bahasa Inggeris sebagai pasport untuk melanjutkan pelajaran kita, sebagai pasport untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan,” Justeru, beliau meminta rakyat Malaysia tidak terlalu emosi berkaitan bahasa. Rusuhan kaum 13 Mei 1969 “Masa tu saya di England. Saya pun masa tu dah habis kerja di England, dan sebelum balik saya ambil cuti dua minggu dan masa itulah mulanya tragedi itu,” jelasnya sebaik diaju soalan berhubung tragedi 13 Mei 1969. “Tetapi, walau pun saya tiada di sana, saya tahu apa yang terjadi. Adik saya, Tunku Muszaffar Shah yang ceritakan kepada saya. Dia masa itu pegawai polis yang muda, masa itu jawatannya di bawah Leftenan Kolonel Syed Hamzah dari Batalion 4 Askar Melayu. “Waktu itu, orang kata tentera dan polis tak jaga rakyat, itu tak betul. Menurut adik saya, ketika dia pergi ke Jalan Ipoh lama (di Kuala Lumpur), dia masuk bersama dua orang. Bila mereka masuk ke kawasan Cina itu, orang-orang Melayu keluar dengan parang dan pelbagai lagi senjatalah. “Depa kata, ‘bagus ini pegawai Melayu dah datang’. Tapi adik saya kata kepada mereka, ‘balik’ Kalau tak balik, saya akan tembak’. Selepas kumpulan Melayu itu beredar, adik saya nampak orang Cina yang menyorok di kawasan kolam bijih timah keluar seorang demi seorang. “Awak tahu kenapa adik saya bertegas? Itu kerana mereka punya tugas. Pegawai polis harus menjaga nyawa dan harta benda rakyat tanpa mengira siapa. “Tetapi sekarang dah lain. Macam perhimpunan aman Bersih 9 Julai lalu, polis dah jadi Hulk, dah jadi gangster,” ujarnya dengan senyuman bermakna. Oleh itu, bagi Tunku, sikap menuding jari kepada kaum lain berhubung apa-apa perkara perlu dikikis kerana setiap orang perlu berlaku adil dalam masyarakat berbilang bangsa di Malaysia. – Roketkini.com Bahagian Kedua: Pandangan Tunku Abdul Aziz tentang UMNO, Pakatan Rakyat, DAP dan politik semasa

FROM THE BLOGGER SAKMONGKOL-AK47 Friday, September 16, 2011The Smell of Defeats hangs in the Air....Najib blinks! The Face of a Man in Fear See what people power can do! After over two years in power it would seems that common sense and the real possibility of losing a general election has finally hammered into Najib's head of the need to do away with detention without trial: “No individual will ever be detained simply due to political ideology.”...ahem these are not the words of Nelson Mandela but these are the words of our own Najib Razak! Now here is the thing…I knew that no individual should be detained because of his political ideology many years ago –from the time of ops lallang and even way before that. So do many hundreds of thousands of Malaysian. And yet it has taken the Barisan Nasional government only now – September 2011 to realize it? Remember the brutal crackdown by PDRM on the Bersih Rally just a few month ago? Now what has changed? In these few months what has made Najib changed his mind so that he can now says with a straight face and hand on his heart that “No individual will ever be detained simply due to political ideology.” What has put the fear of God into that pudgy face and made him back down? I put it to you that nothing will change! I put it to you that individuals will still be detained simply due to political ideology. The power of detention will not be shifted from the executive to the judiciary because the judiciary takes their orders from their political masters -and their political masters is the Basrisan Nasional government. Have we not seen this time and time again? We have always had an Attorney General that understands that his tenure as AG is entirely in the hands of the Prime Minister. The AG sits like a dog that he is at the feet of our PM begging for a bone to be thrown to him. The last CJ we had was not only an active and eager UMNO machai but also a criminal who thought nothing of cheating on his wife and family by illegally marrying another wife and he then tried to circumvent the laws of our country by doing it in another country – and when confronted with the deed he did all that he could to cover it up by getting rid of the physical evidence of the said illegal marriage. And yet he is amply rewarded for his tenure as CJ by a generous retirement package expressly passed through parliament for this machai of UMNO. And Najib has the gall to say that “the power of detention will be shifted from the executive to the judiciary” when he knows, and we know, that it is one and the same thing? So tell me Najib how is it possible that the very laws that has been in place to protect the peace, harmony and security of the country can now be repealed also for the peace, harmony and security of the country? Do you think that we are that stupid? You are a yellow livered coward that will do anything - even sell your own grandmother and sullied Tun Razak’s reputation as a Malay and UMNO leader – if you think it will win you votes at the general election. And you say that you will do away with the need for annual publishing permits under the printing Presses and Publications Act! Pray tell me Najib….when did you get that eureka moment? That eureka moment that told you that too many people who can vote are against the Printing Presses and Publications Act? That the same people have not only been vocal about their disquiet of this act but are joining the opposition in droves and are actively working against the interest of the Barisan Nasional government through participation in Bersih and the activities of Pakatan Rakyat right across the nation in preparation of the 13 general elections? When Najib….when did you get that eureka moment? The repeal of the ISA and scrapping of the PPPA happened because opposition to the Barisan Nasional government has started to hurt Barisan Nasional. BN has thrown everything it can at Pakatan Rakyat and the people with Pakatan Rakyat – but to no avail. What was once quiet opposition to the BN government has now manifested itself in overt physical demonstration of the people’s demand for CHANGE. Not only for change of a Prime Minister or his Ministers but change of a rotting, diseased and cancerous tumour within our midst call Barsian Nasional which is led by UMNO! What has not happened is that this movement has yet to gain the momentum that it once had before the 12th general election. It had not done so because before the 12th general election the momentum for change came from within the people – Pakatan Rakyat merely provided the focus for the people to channel their disgust and revulsion of Barisan Nasional. In this 13th general election the people are looking at Pakatan Rakyat to lead them into the general election and PR has been found wanting and slow to take the initiative to lead – and Najib and Barisan Nasional knows this. And so they hope to take the initiative away from Pakatan Rakyat – and the repeal of the ISA and the PPPA is one of the ways they choose to do so. But I think the people will not be fooled. If Najib had repealed the ISA and the PPPA when he first came to office 29 months ago then maybe the goodwill he would have generated by doing so would have swept him through any general elections. Pak Lah failed to do what he told us he will do when he came to office and the people punished him at the 12th general elections. Najib will find that the people have long memories. Some have had bruises and broken bones from being pummeled and whacked by PDRM. Many have borne the brunt of corruption within government departments and had been the victims of PDRM’s greed for graft and suffered from PDRM's arrogance. Many have died in Police custody and some murdered without mercy in gun battles with police - where the police have the guns and the victims nothing! Day in and day out we are bombarded with financial mismanagement that has costs our nation billions. Too many abuses, too many lies and too many arrogant BN ministers treating us all with disdain and contempt. No Najib these rafts of changes you announced last night…I will tell you what you can do with it…or better still I will tell you what the people will do with it. They will do what they have done with all those empty promises, masquerades and silap mata you have done before…put all these raft of promises on a raft and push it down river towards the white water class VI rapids and let it all sink – and then we will vote Pakatan Rakyat! MERDEKA! Long live Pakatan Rakyat!

THE UNGRATEFUL ADMINISTRATION....

SUGAR AND FROZEN DURIAN A good read. (not sure who the author is..By Âø†ÊîøÂø´ËÆØ Some friends have requested translation for the piece on Sugar King Robert Kuok's history. Thanks to Google translate with some corrections. Knowledge is empowering. Reading is knowledge. Recently, the government offended Robert Kuok, as a result, the Malaysian economy suffered a great blow! After the official Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Malaysia , the Najib government now really understands Robert Kuok's influence on China ! In order to benefit their cronies, they arm twisted to swallow Robert Kuok's sugar empire. The cronies get richer by 10 billions, but it caused a national loss of more than 200 billion! Those who have insider info can only curse: PKHKC it! Malaysia sugar king was forced to leave Malaysia , but became the world's sugar king! He bought the world's largest sugar mills in Australia, invested USD10 billion, it is the world's largest sugar cane sugar refining industry, living up to the name of the world's sugar king. On the other hand, the Malaysia government benefited cronies at the expense of national interests. For those who have insider info, Kuok offered immense help to the Malaysian government in the past few decades, he has done everything possible; but what the government did was like what you will get when you turn over a pig stomach: faeces. In other words, Najib Government is UNGRATEFUL! In the "Confidential" news, is about the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Malaysia recently, it hit a snag with Najib. Prior to Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Malaysia , Najib and his cabinet on more than one occasion, hinted that he hoped China will double the amount of palm oil with Malaysia . We all know that China is the largest consumer of palm oil from Malaysia . Rapid economic rise in the recent years, China became the largest palm oil market for Malaysia , but Malaysia has also strong competition from Indonesia , trying to sell palm oil at lower prices to China and India , diluting the Malaysian market share. This is most worrying for Najib. Najib hoped to sign a new palm oil trading contracts with Premier Wen Jiabao to sign in order to more than double the average 10 million tonnes monthly export to China . But Wen Jiabao came to a Malaysia , told Najib, it is impossible. It was an utter disappointment. Najib knows the Chinese market demand. Even to import one million tonnes of palm oil daily, is not a problem. So, where is the problem? The problem is Sugar Kuok does not agree! Why was Sugar Kuok able to influence China 's decision to buy Malaysian palm oil? Who is the monopoly of Chinese national oil market? China national oil market leader is "Arowana" cooking oil, accounting for nearly 40%! The Arowana cooking oil boss, is Robert Kuok! Think about it, Premier Wen Jiabao on behalf of the Chinese government to buy Malaysian palm oil. Who is going to refine it into cooking oil? Of course, it is the privatized enterprises! With 40% market share, if Arowana cooking oil company refuses the supply, how is the Chinese government going to utilize the supply? Najib was insensible from the start, and did not know Kuok had such big influence in China . He had helped cronies, forced Robert Kuok to give up the Malaysian sugar king throne, and didn‚Äôt expect to have such quick retribution Kuok was forced to leave Malaysia , his heart is of course very unhappy. People of Malaysia must know, during the early days of Malaysia , we did not have aviation professionals, the BN government requested Kuok's father to help set up Malayan Airways. 1970 Malaysian maritime shipping industry is also a vacuum, the Malaysian government sent representatives to Hong Kong to personally invite Kuok's help. For national development, Kuok put aside the Group's business, came back to Malaysia to assist the Government to establish a national maritime shipping industry, this later transformed into MALAYSIA INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING CORPORATION, referred to as MISC. Robert Kuok was a big help when Malaysia repeatedly faced economic difficulties. Even in MCA Tan Koon Swan‚Äôs case, it was Robert Kuok who paid the bail! Malaysia's successive governments, from BN to the National Front, owed Robert Kuok a hell of a lot. But the Malaysian Government was ungrateful, using the hard arm twisting excuse to forcefully take over Kuok's empire. This is not ungrateful? Deng Xiaoping made a comeback in the 70s, announced China's reform and needed most generous help of overseas Chinese entrepreneurs; Robert was first to take actions to help Deng. Among the other entrepreneurs of Chinese economic miracle are Henry Fok and Li Ka-shing Hong Kong . Malaysian entrepreneur Robert Kuok is the first to response to Deng Xiaoping in Beijing and built China 's first five-star hotels: Shangri-La! With over 30 years of deep relationship with the Chinese government and leadership, Kuok has great influence. Najib failed to recognise that. This is why the quote at the start of this post : For the interests of their cronies, they arm twisted to take over Kuok's Sugar Empire, cronies get rich by the 10s of billions, but it caused a national loss of more than 200 billion! Kuok's sugar empire was eaten by the fat vampire's family abruptly. Imagine, a world renowned international trade business personality, what humiliation he received in return for his single-minded help all this while for his own country & government? And Najib would never think that the consequences of offending the Sugar King will be so so serious. Right after Sugar King left Malaysia , he immediately announced the acquisition of Australia 's biggest sugar factory. This is the world supplier of raw material for sugar manufacturing. Of course, this includes supplying to the family of the fat vampire woman's sugar factory in Perlis. Early this year, Kuok announced plans to invest USD 10 billion in Indonesia for development of the world's largest sugar cane growing areas, as well as advanced refinery. The world economy was facing a downturn, the Malaysian government travelled around the world to solicit investment. How much was Malaysia's foreign investment? Kuok's single investment in Indonesia is equivalent to as USD10 billion dollars! Don't you want to screw the couple: PKHKC!? At the moment, Kuok's take towards China's palm oil contract with Malaysia was to remain with the agreed terms. There won't be any increase. Indonesia has more palm oil than Malaysia . It is cheaper too. Now that Kuok had invested so much money in Indonesia , the Government of Indonesia would have treated him as their God of Wealth. Certainly, open to negotiate anything with him. Moreover, Indonesia has been eyeing to take over the China palm oil supply contract from Malaysia . The CONSOLATION China gave in return for not increasing the purchase of palm oil was buying frozen durian. Do the Chinese people have the habit of eating durian it? How much time and effort is needed to market frozen durian from Malaysia ? Thai durian may not sell well in China , let alone Malaysia frozen durian? Business is business, who would supply millions of dollars' worth of frozen durian into a brand new market with no durian eating habits? Should the Chinese people become non-receptive of it, how do we deal with return goods? A total loss with capital. Is this how to do business? Earlier this year, when the news hit the papers that Kuok made an announcement to invest USD 10 billion in Indonesia, many criticized Kuok for being unpatriotic, preferring to take so much money into Indonesia instead of Malaysian. What CRAP! You arm-twisted him to take over his empire, forcing the man to leave Malaysia in hurt & humiliation; now that the man ignores the Malaysian market, and you criticize him? Have you guys got balls for brains? For him to bring his huge investment to Australia & Indonesia instead of Malaysia , who is to be blamed? Incidentally, Kuok is not just China's hotelier, king of cooking oil, the world's sugar King; he is also the patent owner of the Coca-cola soft drink brand in the Chinese market. Kuok is involved in a diversity of businesses in China . He created many job opportunities for China . The Chinese central government and leaders have great respect for him as an entrepreneur. When the man speaks, the weight it carries can be far-reaching. So far, Kuok is the only man who never accepted any of the titles rolled out for outstanding Malaysians. Many people address him as Tan Sri Robert Kuok, In actual fact, he does not have these titles, he doesn't need them. To put the record straight, he is neither Tan Sri nor Dato‚

Preventing Stroke.

FROM THE INTERNET: UNKNOWN WRITER SHARING HIS/HER EXPERIENCES WITH STROKE. MAY GOD BLESS HIM/HER FOR ALL THE TROUBLES TAKEN TO RECORD THE DETAILS FOR US. MAY ALL OF US WHO READ THIS BE SPARED FROM THE DREADFUL STROKE. – DAVE LI WANJI (W.MOKHTAR RAMLEE).

Please read, many minor symptoms that most people omitted.

PREVENTING STROKE Three years ago I was struck down by a stroke. Three years later I am still stricken with the malady. In the beginning, I asked doctors about the condition and was told that there is no cure for stroke. . I asked about the symptoms and was told there are no symptoms meaning a stroke will attack a person suddenly, without warning. That is bad news, very bad news.

Following my own advice, I did not believe that. So, I thought back to my experiences and I found that there are plenty of signs that a person is susceptible to an attack of the deadly stroke. Hah! If you cannot cure it at least you can prevent it. That is what we should all do. We must choose to avoid the stroke or be condemned to consuming tons of pills whose veracity is questionable. How do we go about that, how can we prevent stroke. Will it be expensive? Will it be time consuming? Before we go into details let us first recognize the symptoms, the signs if you like.

More than thirty years ago, while reversing my car, I suddenly found that I could not move my right leg. It simply refused to obey me. I went to see a doctor immediately and all I got was two days medical leave. That was the first sign that I was heading for a stroke. After two days rest, I was back on my feet as if nothing had happened. I just put it down to work stress and physical and mental exhaustion. When I was afflicted with the stroke and certain parts of my body refused to obey me I realized that I had experienced that feeling before.

I will now endeavor to put down on paper, for you, the other signs so that you may recognize a potential victim before the stroke strikes and be able to take evasive steps to prevent it happening. These signs will be presented randomly as they come to mind.
1. When walking you stumble even on level ground.
2. You kick the legs of chairs and tables when you usually walk pass them effortlessly. 1 & 2 is because your legs are not as strong as they used to be although you do not realize it.
3. You sometimes find you cannot pronounce the 'ar' sound and it comes out as 'el', your speech is slurred and sometimes you drool. 4. The pen you are holding slips from your fingers. Holding up the newspaper can be a problem because your fingers have lost their flexibility. You think it is clumsiness when in truth it is not. It is caused by your muscles having lost their strength.

5. After sitting for some time you find that you cannot stand up as usual. You lose your balance and fall back onto the seat. 6. You also lose your balance when you squat and may find yourself sitting instead of standing up.

7. You are always sleepy even after a good night's sleep. This sleepiness is quite different from the usual tiredness you experience after a restless or late night.8. Urinating has become a problem. Instead of a strong stream what you get is a trickle and this causes you to go to the toilet often.9. Constipation becomes more frequent as your rectal muscles do not work well anymore. 10. Sometimes you will find you are forgetful and mental activities become difficult as your brain weakens through lack of nourishment. Blood is not getting through to your brain quickly enough.

Some of these signs will come and go, so much so that you do not take them seriously when they do occur. You tend to pass them off as signs of physical and mental stress and fatigue or in certain cases of aging. Since there is no pain you do not think it necessary to see a doctor. Anyway, the signs come on only momentarily and disappear almost at once. So that you think it is not anything serious and a visit to a doctor is out of the question, until it is too late that is. Then, it is the doctor who has to come to you. Another thing, the signs are similar to many other diseases and illnesses which are quite common. Seeing a doctor would be rather pointless, as far as a stroke is concerned, as you would only describe the symptoms you are experiencing at that particular moment.

Now we come to the important part of this discourse, how do we prevent stroke. What can we do or rather what should we do when these signs appear one by one. Let it be known that I am not a doctor and never in my dreams do I even pretend to be one. So what I am about to tell you is mostly from my own experience.
Firstly, when you find that your body is not functioning as it should, that some parts are slacking and not obeying your brain as it normally does, you should start exercising. Go for long walks. Incidentally, you will experience immediate benefits even while exercising, such as clearer vision and mental alertness.
Make it a habit to go for walks at least three times a week. Do not stop. I did go for walks but then I stopped when the symptoms disappeared. I made the mistake of not exercising for far too long and then it was too late. The stroke struck! Remember, regular exercise is very important in promoting blood circulation. Of course, other forms of exercises will be just as good for you. One word of advise, exercises performed with the use of machines are not necessarily the best and that is why I advocate free hand exercises like walking, jogging and swimming.

Drinking lots of water helps immensely. Drink two glasses of water first thing in the morning every morning. Then drink one or two mouthfuls every half hour or whenever thirsty. This is to provide the blood stream with a regular supply of fresh water as our body gets rid of water all the time. We lose water when we breathe, sweat and urinate. Lack of water means poor blood circulation which can lead to stroke. Eating proper foods is also important and I mean greens and fruits on a daily basis. Everything else can be enjoyed in moderation. A monk who practices healing advised me on certain foods to take to prevent the occurrence of stroke. It is my pleasure to be able to share it with you here. He said that to prevent stroke I should drink a soup made of one cucumber and one red tomato. Boil them together, strain and drink one or two glasses daily. That will help prevent the blood from coagulating (or is it congealing?). Stroke affects the brain and the best remedy for it is egg yolk. The monk suggested I take the yolk from free-range chickens leaving out the white. The egg must be hard boiled. Consuming egg yolks is also recommended for elderly people as well as school children because it helps to nourish the brain and thus improves memory..

Okey, you are now as expert as I am in the matter of strokes. Share the information herein with anyone and everyone who is willing to lend you their ears. Perhaps, there will be less people afflicted with the dreaded stroke (slight shiver).

MAY YOU ALL ALWAYS BE WELL,MAY YOU ALL ALWAYS BE HAPPY. GBU ALL!!
