UNDER THE UMNO RADAR AND IN THE CROSS-HAIR OF THEIR CYBER-TROOPERS.

Always United in Purpose

Protecting Each Other

We Are Family

We Probe for the Truth

Provoked We Show Our
Teeth.

All In All We Are a Happy
Mee-Rebus Loving Bunch
BUT WE NEVER DO THIS
TO OUR FRIENDS.


After last nights post I was determined to tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth. However, this morning I was alerted to a 29th July posting in Malaysia Unplug. Short of a better choice, the omnipotent son-in-law CONDEMNED the following MONKEYS to UMNO's WATCH-LIST, probably without the Supreme Council's nod:

NOTE: The Malaysian bloggers ie 'Monyets/Monkeys' as classified by UMNO Youth Deputy Chief, Khairy Jamaluddin, are :

Lim Kit Siang, Jeff Ooi, Ahiruddin Attan, Anwar Ibrahim, Bakri Musa, Azly Rahman, Ong Hock Chuan, Husam Musa, Malik Imtiaz Sawar, Zainol Abideen ("Mahaguru58"), Ronnie Liu, Ruhanie Ahmad, Raja Petra Kamarudin, Marina Mahathir, Nuraina Samad, Hajjah Fuziah Salleh, Rustam Sani, Ahmad Zaki Yamani, Faisal Mustaffa

A.Kadir Jasin, Bernad Khoo (Zorro) , Syed Shahir, Dato Shahrir Abdul Samad, Shieh ("Kickdefella") Haris Ibrahim, Kula Segaran, Imran Idris, Captain Yusuf Ahmad, Dr. Hsu Dar Ren, Husin Lempoyang, Hizami Iskandar, Susan Loone, Syed Imran ("Kuda Ranggi"), Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Nizam Bashir, Zaharin Mohd Yasin ("Sang Kelembai"), Annuar Mohd Nor, Ibnu Hakeem, Hishamuddin Rais,

So fellow-targeted Bloggers, you know who your friends and enemies are. But fear not. Be United.
VERITAS NOS LIBERABIT.


NEXT: Datuk Mahmood Ambaks family was a prestigious family, even when the PM married into the family, UNTIL......watch this blog.

BETTER A LIVE COWARD THAN A DEAD HERO.

Galadriel, my sometimes-Tuesday mee rebus companion tagged me to write on Nizam Bashir's 50 Posts to Independence. Here goes, and from the deepest pits of my 67 year old heart:

We had 46 years of up and down, mostly ups. But the last 3-4 years have been a precipitous slide into near criminal chaos. The 46 years belonged to my era. The last few years were the beginning of a new era that hasn't caught my fancy yet.....so I swore that I will be a good Malaysian, don't tell lies, religiously listen to my elected leaders and don't make waves and don't muddy the waters....and not even throw stones that might cause ripples in our calm, fetid political pond. I am going to be a good old Malaysian citizens....in whatever years I have left I will be a model citizen...you think tis ole dog can learn new tricks....read on then:

Malaysians like me love the talllest stories, biggest scandals, broadest hints, wildest excuses, humongous leaks, spankiest mansions, magnanimous bail-outs, explosive liquidations, best-in-class corruption, etc. We just fall in love with superlatives and are nurtured and strive in this diet.

BUT when all these evaporate, we start shouting that there has been a cover-up, a total whitewash.

Fellow Malaysians, lets get rid of this mind-set. Our elected employees, our leaders have assured us that everything is A OK. The US will not do a Noriega, they will not kidnap our leaders. We are on a clean sheet now, semua-nya ok our leaders assure us. A new era is on the roll......there you go again....I am quite sick of some of you my fellow Malaysians.....no I am not the 26th Cyber trooper....because I do not qualify to be an UMNO member....I stick to my being a humble senior-citizen Malaysian....learning day to day to start live again on this new sheet.

The PM gave a very strident warning....firm and aggressive....that bloggers who spread lies WILL NOT be spared from the country's (he also meant any criminals, past, present and to come.) laws.I like it when my PM turns assertive. A CLEAN SHEET.

The AG proclaimed that two big wigs, under investigation, are found pure and untainted which prompted our PM to emphatically disallow any more debate on this matter. A CLEAN SHEET?
Not until he can promise that his prosecution teams, under his aegis, do not screw-up as they are wont to and allow the defence a clean breeze-thru ever so often.

The former taxi-minister, now promoted to be our guardian of good-order and maintenance cum chargeman in Parliament was vociferous in his condemnation of irresponsible (by whose definition?) bloggers. He said nobody will be spared the wrath of the government....nobody! This guy can really put fear into our timid Malaysian hearts. I am so scared that yesterday I went for a refresher course on what to do when you are arrested by authorities. A CLEAN SHEET IN PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY!

Even our DPM is incensed He warned bloggers to handle sensitive issues with care. He has come a long way from the day at TPCA stadium when he swore and waving a keris that........you know, I know ok lah.....He is more mild-mannered now. He wants to show undivided loyalty to his numero uno. A CLEAN SHEET PERHAPS.....although his caustic racial antics and remarks of yore have recently rubbed off on his cousin, who now wants to promote sports in schools......A CLEAN SHEET IN THE FAMILY PROBABLY.

So it is incumbent on me an aged loyal Malaysian, to prove loyalty to my leaders BY NOT LYING. From this day on, in the spirit of the CLEAN SHIT...oooppppps SHEET, I will tell the TRUTH,THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.....SO HELP ME GOD!
But I will not have any young twirp, who has still got his mum's milk dripping from his mouth, telling me not to monkey around. Did he not monkey around when US Secretary of State, Ms Rice was a guest of his father-in-law? The truth, the whole truth....and nothing but the truth!

PEACE TO ALL MALAYSIANS OF GOODWILL and PISS to THE ambitious monkey.

Here are the others that preceded me.

“ ... I want it on record that Umno is attacking Malaysia Today with 25 cyber-troopers and they are the ones who are posting racial statements. Sometimes they even masquerade as Chinese and whack the Malays and Islam. Then other cyber-troopers would respond and whack the Chinese. The Umno cyber-troopers are the ones behind this racial and religious bashing in Malaysia Today. Then they make a police report alleging that Malaysia Today insults Islam and stirs racial sentiments.” ( Read the full article by Raja Petra for context )

ZORRO was told that when you corner the wee rat into the corner, the rat will suicidally attack you.

This seems to be happening. Only difference is that it is not the rat, but our elected government (unless it has metamorphosed into and adopted rodent fixations) that is striking back. However, already proven that most of their actions are all sound and fury, quick-fix, knee-jerks they seems to be learning fast - fight fire with fire, cyberspace with cyber-troopers. However, they must have picked up these guys/(gals?) from some pasar malam or rakan muda centres, give them less than RM100 per day and told them to create mayhem, havoc, stir up dissensions amongst the races....be as racists as can be.....insult the Agong.....slime and slam the Islamic religion, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism....burn baby burn....target all socio-political blogs. They tried their damnest but they couldn't hide their footprints in cyberspace and they were caught with their belachan-dripping fingers in the cookie jar. That kind of happens when you have cruss-less leaders!

ASIDE: PERCHED ON MY SHOULDER AND WHISPERING VERY INDISCREETLY LOUD, Hantu MY SOURCE OF CONTINUOUS INFORMATION, REPORTED THAT RELA IS NOT VERY HAPPY FOR NOT BEING CHOSEN AS CYBER-TROOPERS.....and WE HEARD THE RETORT FROM THE HEAD-HONCHESS OF THE TROOPERS: "Cannot lah pick you orang....you are sekolah rendah dropouts." Hantu flew off with a wasabe burp!

ZORRO SALUTES BAR COUNCIL & "LAWYERS FOR BLOGGRS"

ZORRO TAKES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SALUTE THE BAR COUNCIL FOR INITIATING THIS MOVE TO PROTECT BLOGGERS SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT (THAT WE SINCERELY VOTED IN IN 2004) UNLEASH THEIR FORMIDABLE ARSENAL ON UNDESIRABLE BLOGGERS WHO JUST DO THEIR UTMOST TO TELL THE TRUTH, EVEN IF IT HURTS.

"..... You will all have read about Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Dato’ Seri Nazri Aziz’s threat to take legal action against bloggers.

Bernama reports that he said “the government would not hesitate to use the Internal Security Act (ISA), the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 121B of the Penal Code against these bloggers.”

This chilling threat of action against bloggers is the latest of a series of worrying events which give rise to a reasonable apprehension that our laws on defamation, official secrets and public order may be abused in order to stifle dissent and legitimate free speech.

Some of these events include the arrest and detention of Nathaniel Tan for about 4 days, the police report against Raja Petra Kamarudin.

Blogs have become a source of much information not otherwise in the public domain and are being utilized to garner popular support through voter education drives which aim to hold policians more accountable for their actions. (The popularity of Malaysia-Today, Malaysiakini, Haris Ibrahim’s People’s Parliament, the Citizen Think Tank and other websites/blogs are cases in point).

The Malaysian Bar Council's Interventions Strike Force Initiative

In light of the potential threat to freedom of expression by the use of the repressive Internal Security Act and Sedition Act, the Bar Council Human Rights Committee has decided to initiate a drive to gather a pool of volunteer lawyers to be on standby to assist bloggers.

This will be part of the Interventions Strike Force led by Deputy Chair Amer Hamzah Arshad.

This is in line with the Bar’s aim to provide legal representation to all those in need, particularly in cases where State action is being taken against freedom of expression.

Naturally, this does not in any way amount to the Bar condoning any statements made on any blog which do in fact amount to a legitimate offence.

If you are a LAWYER who is able to help, please email to:

The Human Rights Research Officer, Mr Rajen Devaraj

THANK YOU DEFENDERS

NEXT PM's NAME STARTS WITH 'N'

graphics with kind permission of Mob's Crib

Now that our PM is on extended vacation there is battle royale amongst those whose name starts with "N". News or rumours that the Agong has the power to change Prime Ministers has started a frenzy amongst people who has morbid ambitions. But this guy is going full throttle and all guns blazing to breast the tape. He even got front page treatment with UMNO's daily newsletter, the New Straits Times. Since he cannot talk about corruption or murders openly (unless Kiara is revisited) he is attacking Bloggers. They are giving him more coverage than the other "N" who is supposedly annointed as next up there. I hear there are efforts by some UMNO front-runners surreptitiously changing their names to begin with "N"....just to be in contention....like Muhumad to Nuhamad because Muhamad has been snuffed out by the Raja Bugis Blogger. One guy whose name starts with K changed to N but when he realized that it sounded like a fairy, he held back. One with a Z attempted to change to Nakaria. But that is the name of pasah malam slippers sold in the old port town. It was then that I woke up in cold sweat. It was a dream, bordering on a nightmare.

It was only then that I realised that my wish for the next Prime Minister could still be a reality, not usurped by common village pretenders. It spells NAZRIN. Then will begin the golden age of Malaysia after 50 years of mix and match. There will only be hope for Malaysia if he reigns as Prime Minister.....we began with a prince and this cycle will end with a prince. After that....well that is another story to be told.......

Nathaniel Tan (Nat to all) will co-ordinate this Forum. It is his way of saying thank you for all the support he received during his 4 days as resident guest of the IGP. Lawyer R Sivarasa and activists S Aruthelvan and Soo Li Tsin are scheduled to speak. It would be a bonus if Raja Petra too speaks. I believe Nat will moderate this forum. Nat will throw in a small snacks party too in appreciation of the support he got from all caring Malaysians. So start the week-end well...keep a date with Nat and company. I'll be there you bet to learn and of course the curry-puffs. See ya.(visit jelas.info for more details.

RAJA PETRA WAS SUMMONED TODAY TO DANG WANGI WHERE NAT TAN WAS A RISIDENT-GUEST FOR 4 DAYS.

SOME OF US HAVE PLANNED TO ASSEMBLE OPPOSITE DANG WANGI AT 5.00pm, 25JULY, TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH RAJA PETRA'S FAMILY.

Something to think about: Peace activists, Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq, is determined to impeach Bush and Cheney. That is a free country, the US of A. There they dare not shackle Cindy. Here when you reveal truths about the shenanigans of our our elected employees (the Government) they will throw you in jail. But if you belong to the gomen gang, there is a good chance of being let-off. The prosecution can help you do that. (I hear AG Dept. vying for inclusion in Guiness Book of Records.)Fifty years ago we were liberated. Today, what's the word for this current state we are in? Police State.....cannot lah.....we dont have enough police to qualify for a police state. But on the other hand the government wont even dare implement the IPMC.....so this has to be a police state, after all. The police more powerful than the government. Got to get used to this my Malaysian brothers and sisters.

1957 INDEPENDENT STATE:2007 POLICE STATE?

WE WERE DECLARED AN INDEPENDANT DEMOCRATIC SECULAR STATE IN 1957.
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE FOCUSED ON THE BETTERMENT OF EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS NEW COUNTRY. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, THE TENGKU, TUN RAZAK, TUN ISMAIL, TUN TAN CHENG LOK, TUN SAMBATHAN WERE INCORRUPTIBLE.

5O YEARS ON WE ENCOUNTER MORE CRIMES, MORE MURDERS, MORE RAPES, RAMPANT CORRUPTION, A TAINTED JUDICIARY AND POLICE FORCE, DRACONIAN LAWS LIKE THE ISA AND OSA THAT PROTECT THE CHICANERY OF THE ELITE, AND WE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THIS FREE INDEPENDENT COUNTRY TURNING INTO A
POLICE STATE

23/07: Police report against Malaysia Today

Category: General

Posted by: Raja Petra

At 11.00am today, Umno’s Information Chief will be making a police report against Malaysia Today. The allegation is that Malaysia Today allows comments and articles that degrade Islam. (Updates will follow).

SO WHAT'S THERE TO CELEBRATE?

EXCEPT TO DECLARE IN SOLIDARITY "HIDUP BUGIS BLOGGER"

LOUD MOUTHS MALAYSIAN IDOL

THIS POSTING HAS BEEN CERTIFIED OSA-COMPLIANT AND THEREFORE DOES NOT WARRANT A NAT-REPEAT.

In her New Sunday Times column Paddy Bowie featured the quiet leaders dispelling the myth that if you want to be a good leader, you have to be LOUD. She volunteered: "the noisy politicians are in PAS and Keadilan or the extremist minority in UMNO".

I do not need to do a dissertation to reveal this loudmouth. The globally knowledge-empowered citizens can point him out blindfolded, just depending on the sonic boom this LM keeps emitting. The latest being:

' UMNO Youth demanded MCA leadership to stop issuing comments saying Malaysia is a secular state because such action does not bring any benefit to anybody.(What, you mind-reader now?)

Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, the UMNO Youth Chief, emphasised that polemics such as this should not be highlighted by MCA because it does not bring any good except to result in negative consequences. (Have you planned the negative consequences? Tread carefully,hoi!)

He threatened, "I am giving THIS WARNING to MCA leadership to stop issuing such comments. I am NOT a leader who is naive that will allow this type of action to continue. My warning (to MCA leadership) is to stop making comments." (crowed like a young cock.)

He said this after officiating the UMNO Bahagaina Ranau meeting last night.'

I hope the MCA leadership are not shivering with fright. Clearly Hisham is giving MCA such broad hints that they are not needed in the coalition. So what you chinks waiting for?

My dear "NOT a leader who is naive" Hisham, let me further quote what Madam Bowie said in her column: "Tun Hussein Onn, of the most retiring disposition, had the guts to jail the powerful Datuk Harun Idris (who chose not to be quiet). Question: Would your dad put you under ISA for such unbridled proclamations? You know better. And furthermore recall what your revered father declared?(above pic)

This how the report in the Star reads :

"Former Prime Minister Tun Hussein Onn has supported Tunku Abdul Rahman’s view that Malaysia should NOT be turned into an Islamic state… 'The nation can still be functional as a SECULAR state with Islam as the offical religion,' he said."

What were YOU thinking of when YOU made what appear to me to be unfounded claims?

Aside from being untrue, they also amount to a slur on Tunku and your Dad.

These two great statesmen got it wrong? Have you heard of Zorro's Chamber?

WOULD BAPAK BE PROUD OF YOU HISHAM? THINK ABOUT THIS HARD AND FOR GOD'S SAKE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE RASHES SOME OF THE 200 GIRLS GOT INFECTED WITH SOAKING IN THAT POLLUTED POND. YOUNG, LOUD LEADERS....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

DEDICATED TO MY DANNY

I dedicate this post to my friend, my neighbour, my buddy, my source of inspiration in times when I thought that everything was unfair. My neighbour Danny is wheel-chair bound but he always has a smile for me. Danny started a blog....no I did no arm-twisting although I am inherently inclined to this subtle art of persuasion in most circumstances. Go visit him at http://www.letswheel.blogspot.com. I am extending this invitation to all blog babes and blog buddies. Give him the traditional welcome.

I have always been a renegade; I have been labeled a maverick; nicked as a non-conformist; nailed as having bullying tendencies on bullies; I keep authority at a distance. I abhor patronising people who self-impose status on themselves; I have thrown my employee badge at my MD and told him to taking a flying fugging leap back to the US; I grew my hair long, against regulation, as a teacher to prove that how I look do not translate into ineffectiveness as an pedagogue; I smoked grass to prove to my kids that things done in moderation is basically ok. In short, I am a hard guy to get along with. I am a hard nut. But unbeknown to many I have very soft spots for the disadvantaged that make up our community and our lives. They are teaching us daily how to cope with our lives, but no we never want to learn from these our less fortunate. When I am enraged, I am learning to crawl into the skins of Yvonne Foong, Daphne's Aisya, our jamboree-bound Bukhori Ali and the irrepressible, deformed Muhammad Haziq to purge the demon within me. There are still many demons in me waiting to be tamed, but when these demons rear their ugly heads, people like Danny, Yvonne Foong, Aisya, Bukhori and Muhammad Haziq bring me back to earth-bound sanity. To Danny and these towering young Malaysians I dedicate this post. Tonight I rest my head on my pillow happy because these people have touched my life and if I am humble, will continue to be my rudder..

JULY'S CHAMBER POT...ooppps ...BOY.

MY EXTINGUISHED GUEST IN THIS WEEK'S GAS (as in f@*t)CHAMBER
IS NONE OTHER THAN
THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF INTERNAL SECURITY,
JAYBEE aka I DID NOT POCKET ANYTHING
(interns in this chamber invariably have their titles suspended).

As deputy minister of internal security, he has done a miserable job. Crime is rampant. Crime bosses are telling the law-enforcers who to arrest and harass. Those who tell the truth are arrested and liars are promoted. Today, 50 years, after independence, the greasing continues and deeper pockets are the favored attire of our elected employees. We the employers have stupidly elected these to represent us and protect us from harm. These same employees instead of protecting us are harassing and arresting us. Last night at the "No Police State in Blogosphere" forum it was revealed, amongst many things, that 8 Malaysian women get raped everyday. You never hear of this in the mainstream....cannot lah, malu...mainstream is for protecting our elected employees. So Encik Jodi, make yourself at home in this chamber. No one who is sane will enter to interrogate you. This chamber is designed such that we have an army of volunteers to take turns to contribute to those windows on the walls. The environment has been crafted such that the chamber is conducive to soul-searching on things that the guest should be doing and have been negligent in their sacred duties as elected employees. Here is some food for thought Jo. A close friend and an Umno operative assured me that your name is not on the list for the next round.....Pak Lah has taken off to Australia to work on THE LIST. Have an unpleasant stay. You will be released only if another makes a fool of himself and qualifies for admittance to this hallowed chamber.

MAY THEY REST IN PEACE

NAT OUT OF THE NET

YES, THANKS A MILLION TO ALL THOSE HUNDREDS WHO ENDURED THE FIVE DAYS OF ANXIETY BUT NEVER WAVERED IN THEIR QUEST TO SUPPORT NAT AND HIS FAMILY. TO THE HUNDREDS OF BLOGGERS WHO PUT UP Mob's "FREE NAT NOW" POSTER ONTO THEIR SITES AND BLOGGED ABOUT NAT, I SALUTE YOU.


It was the usual must-have mee rebus at Ruslani/Maria's residence on Tuesday. However, at around 1500hrs Rocky text that Nat was at Bukit Perdana and that the remand period would end at 4.30pm. Four of us, A Voice, Shanghai Fish, Old Blue Eyes and I made our way to BP where a group of PKR people had gathered. At 4.45pm there was still no sign of Nat walking out. At five minutes past the hour, Li Tsin text read...."Statements done, Nat coming out now". A cheer followed and even from that distance we could feel Nat's inimitable SMILE. As he walked towards us the smile was translated into a raised two-fisted salute that said: "Free At Last. Free At Last".
It was his moment. He and his lawyer Siva made brief statements and cameras and TV crew ringed the freed man. When cameras stopped clicking Nat ran across to us and yelled "HIDUP BLOGGERS." We will not attempt to tell Nat's story here. You will learn about the episode when Nat is fully rested.

Signing off with "THANKS A MILLION" to those who walked with Nat.

(NAT YOU LOOK GOOD WITH THAT SOFT FIVE DAY STUBBLE.....LET HIM KEEP THAT WILL YA LI TSIN?....WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU OVER A PINT OR TWO.)

BEST MOVE AND LONG OVERDUE

Tengku Abdullah, the Deputy President of the Football Association of Malaysia officially resigned from the fast-crumbling FAM. We hear rumours that the President too may quit before the association implodes. At 1.37pm NST polled 284 readers. 269 says that management of the association should be restricted to professionals; 15 says No. These 15 misfits would probably be the Council Members who schemed their way into the FAM and hoping for more perks. Here is an interesting comment from a reader:

Old Timer, Brisbane:

People who can't play football or have never played football should not be allowed anywhere near the national team in the first place. Only professionals should be allowed to lead organisations - not politicians or royalty. If we value our image in the arena of sports, not only football, we will take heed in changing this scenario. Politicians should stick to politics and leave football to the more capable and qualified.

Shouldn't the whole Council resign? That would be the most credible and honourable thing to do, but they can't because they are now acting as props to make sure the near-dilapidated association needs strong hands to prevent Humpty Dumpty from falling...sort of like a suicide-squad! The association, we hear, is near bankrupt, but the council members KNOW that the government will come with a rescue package, like it always does to mismanaged entities...semunya-ok....the infamous Malaysian battle cry will invariably be heard. No we never learn, or just don't want to learn.

Yes, politicians have no business running our sports. They were elected to look after their constituency. Don't kay-por. You do not have the expertise. Attend Parliament, look for leaks, close one eye or execute cows and goats, but don't touch Malaysian sports. You remember the big recruitment exercise where FAM paid a fortune using a head-hunter to select a credible official. The official who appointed and worked with this head-hunter, finally picked the guy who gave them the business. We call that reciprocity, for want of a cruder word. And if my informant is not wrong, he was an axed politician. And now, the chairman of the Back Benchers Club wants to persuade Tengku Abdullah to retract his decision. Are we not supposed to respect royalty. Leave Tengku Ahmad alone......he needs to be in better company....he couldn't soar like an eagle because he had as companions, big time TURKEYS. Majullah Sukan Malaysia.

NAT AIN'T SCARED. HE HAS GOT US!

They LET OFF the big fishes and now the government's drag-net has netted Nat....OUR ikan bilis whom they fear as the killer whale. When you are a bit sick up there you need to choreograph some demented spectacle to distract the people from the chicanery of the top dogs. Zorro will not waste his ZZZZskills on these. HE SPITS ON THESE MAGGOTS for bringing further disrepute to an already spent force that are spending more time over-protecting the power-crazed upper- crumbs. This is the land where murderers have been freed and mark my word, AT LEAST ONE MORE WILL BE FREED (soon)!!!!!!!

And they thought we will keep quiet? Fat chance!

HANG IN THERE LI TSIN, YOU HAVE GOT FRIENDS!

MATA-MATA, WE AIN'T SCARED EITHER, BECAUSE NAT'S OUR BROTHER!

I SURE GONNA CHANGE MY ROUTE TO NPC VIA THIS LITTLE KNOWN german TOWN CALLED Fucking.

Every Wednesday and Friday I make my twice-a-week pilgrimage to the National Press Club to top up and to talk cock with my blogger buddies. Twice a week I pass along Jalan Parliament. Today I will change my route even if it takes me thru this German Town (map/pic). Why? I do not want to be in the vicinity where people like the smell of BLOOD or hear the ghostly blood-curdling pleadings of cows and goats being sacrificed to bless the nuptials of their political boss. Fifty years on and we are still practising this babarity and making a public spectacle of it. I will not pass the place where the Speaker, already in dotage still make senile pronouncements. Are we so short of human capital that he still holds office (despite a sojourn in my chamber). In most countries these people are usually let out to graze....they have outlived their usefullness (like race horses or non-performing stud bulls). But not in Bolehland. However the Chairman of the BackBenchers Club takes the podium with the classic case of apple-shining and ass-worshiping.......orchestrating a bloody spectacle to mark the marriage of the newly-weds. What's happening to us? Could this be the reason why Malaysians are leaving? Brain-drain whilst the fossilised brains attempt to govern us. I am not finished yet. But the three mek-mek (read lowland goats as opposed to Star editor Vera's mountain goat) who till today, after so much of abuse hurled at the Indian community are still maintaining their DISTASTEFUL SILENCE. No prize for quessing who these three low-lying goats are. Sheesh, I have to leave for the NPC now....my new route will take me thru this here town.........have to rush....frigging thirsty and it is already 7.00pm. But I have to share this Letter to the Sun:

A question of sensitivity

As a Muslim, I am embarrassed at the slaughtering of cows and goats in the Parliament compound. I agree that the intention was noble, that is to celebrate our prime minister's marriage.

The issue here is respecting the sensitivities of others. Is it very difficult? As a multi-racial nation and living side by side with various communities for so long, have we forgotten that the cow is sacred for the Hindus? Did none of the Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Club (BBC) members give it a thought?

I hope the BBC members have not forgotten how sensitive Muslims in Malaysia and the whole world demonstrated, in some places violently, when a cartoon depicting our prophet appeared in a newspaper. Have we forgotten the anger and hatred we showered on Salman Rushdie of the Satanic Verses fame?

In the same light, we should also be sensitive to others.

Didn't anybody think there will also be non-Muslim MPs from the BN and Opposition who will join in to celebrate the PM's wedding?

This insensitivity has happened a number of times. It is not unusual to see the slaughter of cows "live" on TV during the Hari Raya Kurban festival. I am not against slaughtering cows but please feel for our Hindu friends and others.

It is difficult to understand the excuse given by BBC chairperson Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Omar that it was done with good intentions. He also said if not at the parliament where else? Mr MP, I can't believe I am hearing this from you.

More disappointing was the excuse given by our respectable Parliament Speaker Tan Sri Ramli Ngah Talib who said it is a common practice. I agree it is common practice, but can't we be uncommon?

I always believe that if we give due respect to others, then we will receive the same. You reap what you sow. Another rule to follow: Do not do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.

It is very heartwarming to hear some MPs like Fong Poh Kuan (Batu Gajah) and Kulasegaran (Ipoh Barat) who have spoken for the Hindus. Of course BBC member Devamany (Cameron Highlands) was not in the meeting when the decision was made. But then, why the deafening silence from the MIC MPs?

I sincerely believe a simple apology for this oversight is in order.

Manik Basha

FEISTY, GUTSY, BUT STILL FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.

Yesterday, 8 July, I met 21 year-old Yvonne Foong at the MIC Putera Bloggers Buff. I went there primarily to support young Bloggers. It was there that I chanced upon and bought her book "I'm Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell". I heard her speak in her frail voice about her illness; got her to autograph her book; took a photo with her....and came away ashamed of myself....ashamed that, though healthy, I still grumble about the weather, the haze, the traffic; ashamed that I still get irritated by little things; ashamed that I take so many things for granted; ashamed that I do not spend enough time learning from the disadvantaged; disgustingly ashamed about fussing about little discomforts; shamefully ashamed that I should do more listening when people like Yvonne have lost her hearing because of the multiple tumours that grow on her nerves.

Let's get her to tell about herself:

At age 16, I was diagnosed with a rare and incurable genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis (NF) Type 2, that causes tumors to grow in my brain, spine, and along peripheral nerves. To date, i have undergone four major surgeries, locally and abroad, the first on 16 August 2002 at GH when I was 16 years old, to remove some tumors in my brain and spine.My second was done free courtesy of Dr. Rick A Friedman in Los Angeles.

The most recent surgery was done on 25th October 2006 in Los Angeles. Through tireless fund raising efforts in exactly a year, Heart4Hope managed to raise approximately RM230,000.00 for the removal of an Acoustic Neuroma and the purchase of an Auditory Brainstem Implant to assist hearing.

The money was raised with the collective effort of some relatives, friends, and kind members of the public, who came forth to assist me physically and financially. Although the money raised is used for my medical treatments, I believe HEART4HOPE is not just about me, but about everyone who shares my belief in hope.

Living with NF has taught me to be far-sighted and ready to face sudden changes in life. NF is not only a physical illness, it also proved to be a financial burden, especially when one does not take practical measures.

Yvonne continues:

I’ve been thinking about this very large tumor growing in my frontal lobe of the brain. Actually I have many tumors in the frontal lobe, one above the acoustic complex, some extending into the temporal bone, into the orbit, jagular bulb, oh my god i easily have more than 10 brain tumors all over. I can’t even count, try as I might! Next time I see the radiologist, remind me to salute him.

Okay complains aside. What I’m trying to say is, I am concerned about the biggest tumour in my frontal lobe. I had just sent an e-mail to Dr. Schwartz, asking whether we should remove it, and not wait till it turns malignant. I don’t want to rush and risk having complications. If the tumor turns malignant, the cells might invade surrounding tissues and cause brain damage.

Let’s see what Dr. Schwartz says. I’ve been considering this for so long. But today, it feels more urgent than usual.

I wonder if my Medulla Oblongata is becoming weaker. Because I easily feel cold, and just as easily perspire. I try to avoid trembling, because when it happens, my brainstem vibrates as if it is threatening to move out of place. I also wonder if any tumors are growing in the hypothalamus, because sometimes I sense my hunger rate is odd. Not to mention, I need to sleep longer hours than a healthy adult would.

Yvonne blogs extensively at http://www.yvonnefoong.com. Her blog banner reads: Fight for Tomorrow. Things I read in her blog yesterday jolted me. Her friend Keishaks who is also afflicted with NS says: The human spirit is never defeated until it surrenders. Her friend and publisher/editor John Ling told her before coming to Bloggers Buff: the crowd size does not matter. Even if only one person came, and benefits from meeting you, that one person matters.

YVONNE, IT MATTERED TO ME. YOU TOUCHED MY LIFE AND I WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON.

Make time to visit her blog. You may come away enriched.

Group seeks action over the demolition of 79 Hindu temples

PUTRAJAYA: Some 100 people from the Hindu Rights Action Force handed a memorandum to the special officer to the Solicitor-General Ilham Abdul Kader over the apparent lack of action on the demolition of 79 Hindu temples nationwide.

The group, which gathered in front of the Attorney-General's Chambers yesterday, expressed disappointment over the apparent lack of action although 99 police reports had been lodged over the matter.

Chairman Waytha Moorthy said the

memorandum stated that Hindu temples, some more than 100 years old and located

on private land, had been demolished

without proper court orders since last

year.

Apart from the 99 police reports, the organisation had also sent out 74 letters and memoranda to the A-G's Chambers and other relevant state authorities but had so far received no response, he said.

From 22.2.2006 TO 13.6.2007 (one year and four months), 79 HINDU TEMPLES in MALAYSIA were faced with:

1. BEING DEMOLISHED,
2. GIVEN NOTICE TO BE DEMOLISHED
3. RELOCATED NEXT TO SEWERAGE TANKS,
4. BURNT TO THE GROUND, or
5. DEITIES FORCIBLY REMOVED

Over the last 15 years, Hindu temples in Malaysia are being demolished at the rate of ONE temple in every THREE weeks.

FIFTEEN (15) HINDU TEMPLES DEMOLISHED IN THE KLANG VALLEY.

FOUR (4) OTHER DEMOLISHED HINDU TEMPLES LOCATED OUTSIDE KLANG VALLEY BUT WITHIN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA.

NOW WHERE THE FUKC ARE THE AVOWED CHAMPIONS OF MY INDIAN MALAYSIAN FRIENDS? WHO REALLY DO YOU SERVE? YOURSELVES OR YOUR POLITICAL BOSSES?
PATHIBAN OF IJOK! SAY SOMETHING DECENT IF THE ABOVE THREE ARE DUMB, OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR TONGUE!
