PAS Dewan Ulama wants the four Pakatan Rakyat states - Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor - to follow in Kelantan’s footsteps of banning gaming joints and limiting outlets serving alcohol.Just because I find it difficult to fly you flag upside down doesn't mean that I tag along blindly. Remember that outside Kelantan, without the other 2nd class citizens who are being constantly chased out of the land of their birth, you would not have participation in the governing of the other states. Count your blessings and behave. SO DON'T COME OUT WITH ANYMORE EDICTS, SUGGESTIONS OR DEMANDS.
PAS, don't. I voted for my PAS adun in Kota Damansara. I urged, thru this blog and during the March ceremahs, to vote for whichever PAS candidate and wherever they stood. I did this because you SUPPORTED the PEOPLE'S DECLARATION. I stood by you when you abandoned your islamic state posture. Now, slowly but surely you are rearing your ugly head again and insidiously making overtures towards that end.
You can impose whatever rules and policies you want in Kelantan if it makes you sleep easy whilst despite all these bans, KB still have the highest incidences of sexual crimes (incest?) in the country.
Yes, go ahead and ban gambling which the BN government has OKed because cronism as an industry must be maintained to oil the BN machinery and the Ah Long industry kept alive for reasons of money laundering etc. Drinking to excess is no good. We drink to bond, to business-network. None of us borrow money from Ah Longs to satisfy our thirst. YES? Even after a bout of heavy bonding we do not go home and burn our marriage certificate or molest our daughters. GOT THE MESSAGE. Be a decent man like the Menteri Besar of Perak. Score your political points sleeping with UMNO, but leave us alone with our sins.
Disappointing but this has got to stop now! The moon seems to be making some wrong noises lately and its frankly starting to look very umno-ish.
ReplyDeletePakatan needs to have a more uniformed approach or we have the danger of it becoming another part of history.
To a Bangsa Malaysia!
REMEMBER WHEN PAS WERE THE OPPOSITION LEADERS AFTER THE 1999 ELECTIONS, WHAT WAS THEIR TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IN PARLIMENT,bullshitte,
ReplyDeletethey showed their ignorance by uttering, utter rubbish and I remember cringing anytime a pas MP, stood up to make a statement, they are only fit to rule a sekolah agama, remember 9/11, pas supported al queda, that is the sum total of people with shitte for brains. why is it that these people of this particular brand, can never stick to their word or principles, the quote of 'WHITE MAN SPEAKS WITH FORKED TONGUE' comes to mind, Well my advise to PAS, LIKE DURING THE BAR COUNCIL FORUM WHERE TALIBANIST PSEUDO TURBANATORS WERE CLAIMING JUST LAST WEEK THAT MUSLIMS DO NOT DISTURB OTHERS' YO shit for brains, what are you saying now, when you shove your religion and views down our throats, don't expect us to sit quietly and accept it, so eat shit and die you pigs with forked tongues.

ReplyDeleteI will let this one in, but I advise some civility in future postings. This blog should should excite towards fair discussion instead of inciting.
sorry bernard, but what has been happening this past week has riled me up , especially the hypocritical, statement that 'we do not disturb other religions'my god such audacity and stupidity to state such blatant lies,
ReplyDeletemy apologies to you for stepping beyond common decency but........ at times such hypocrates and thier statements, which we keep bottled up, and for so long. anwar better keep to his word.
I will not vote for pas again. Period.
ReplyDeleteHere is an oldie that kinda rings about what we facing with PAS.
ReplyDeleteCreedence Clearwater Revival- Bad Moon Rising.
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Chorus: ....There's a bad moon on the rise.
I was a fool to vote for pas last election. Like you, I believed that they were sincere when they supported the people's declaration. But never again. They will never change and as for me "once bitten, twice shy"
ReplyDeleteLet them do whatever they want, after they played us out by voting PAS, now they are so arrogant like UMNO goons. We, RAKYAT had decided to send PAS to HELL FOREVER comes next G.E. We, RAKYAT will never TRUST PAS anymore!
ReplyDeleteNiamahlokechat!! PARIAH!!! Spit to PAS!!!!
We, RAKYAT will send PAS to HELL FOREVER comes next G.E.!
ReplyDeletetolong la uncle zorro
ReplyDeletetakkan la cadangan pun tak boleh.
belum apa2 uncle dah nak tunjuk lagak kat orang lain
nak kritik boleh, tapi janganlah ugut.
tanpa petugas pas, mungkin DAP, PKR pun tak menang besar dalam pilihanraya tersebut.
sama-sama la bekerjasama dan cuba memahami.
ini cuma cadangan seperti juga cadangan tan sri khalid untuk buka 10% kepada nonbumiputra untuk uitm.
jangan lah mengugut tak nak undi la itu la ini la. kalau ahli PAS tak undi DAP dan PKR pilihanraya akan datang boleh menang ke mereka ??
fikir2 kan. jangan fikir perut sendiri je, fikirkan orang lain juga
We, RAKYAT will send PAS to HELL FOREVER, comes next G.E.
ReplyDeletePAS Dewan Ulama wants the four Pakatan Rakyat states - Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor - to follow in Kelantan’s footsteps of banning gaming joints and limiting outlets serving alcohol.
ReplyDeleteDear Zorro. I am of two views regarding the above. Whereas, I strongly support the banning of gaming joints, I am quite opposed to the proposal of limiting outlets serving alcohol.
Now, before I get brickbats thrown at me, permit me to disclose that my personal bias for 40% proof Jack Daniel's may have played a part in my opposition to the latter. 5% Happy Hour draft is OK by me too. But hold the stout.
However, I'm 101% supporting for the banning of gaming joints. Why? I won't touch on the morality nor the mathematical statistics attached to gambling. But rather I want to point out gaming joints in Malaysia are essentially nothing more than a license to print money. And the owners? Lemme see. Vincent Tan owns ToTo and Ananda Krishna owns 1+3D. And didn't Nalla ex Anwarista use to own Magnum 4D? Do we really wanna contribute to the pension funds of these characters?
Look. I used to haunt gaming joints myself, so I ain't no saint. But lemme tell ya, I've yet to see guys steppin' out of a Merc or BMW and steppin' into one of this joints. Emphasize on 'yet'. In essence, the government has given a handful of super-rich individuals the license to collect money (and taxes) from a large number of willing contributors coming from essentially the lower end of the economic segment of our society. In return for a slip of paper printed on a thermal fax machine. Hey, sounds good!
Finally, I wanna note those bozos didn't say they'll clamp down on a little side gambling during festive seasons, wedding celebrations, or a private mahjong session in ya own house. Am I right, people?
BTW, brandy and F&N Fruitade goes down well together. Ya oughta give it a go, Zorro.
Dear Uncle Zorro
ReplyDeleteThanks for speaking on our behalf!
Yes,they can go ahead with their hudud laws in Kelantan but leave us alone with our sins!
ALL PRAY AND NO PLAY WILL MAKE US ALL DULL AND DOWN!!
Uncle Bernard,
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with your point. I voted for PAS on DUN Seri Serdang. I even campaigned at the PAS booth during the election day to get non-Muslim votes to support.
Now after few incidents,I am worried that I had made a mistake. Come on PAS, we treat you as a family under Pakatan Rakyat. But ask yourself, is this fair treament to your family members? Non Muslim who had faith in you?

ReplyDeleteWe the Rakyat, should evaluate and determine the kind of Leaders we want for our beloved country, Malaysia
ReplyDeleteHere are the Top 10 Qualities of a Good Leader
By David Hakala
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leadership can be defined as one's ability to get others to willingly follow. Every organization needs leaders at every level. Leaders can be found and nurtured if you look for the following character traits:
A leader with vision has a clear, vivid picture of where to go, as well as a firm grasp on what success looks like and how to achieve it. But it’s not enough to have a vision; leaders must also share it and act upon it. Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric Co., said, "Good leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision and relentlessly drive it to completion."
A leader must be able to communicate his or her vision in terms that cause followers to buy into it. He or she must communicate clearly and passionately, as passion is contagious.
A good leader must have the discipline to work toward his or her vision single-mindedly, as well as to direct his or her actions and those of the team toward the goal. Action is the mark of a leader. A leader does not suffer “analysis paralysis” but is always doing something in pursuit of the vision, inspiring others to do the same.
Integrity is the integration of outward actions and inner values. A person of integrity is the same on the outside and on the inside. Such an individual can be trusted because he or she never veers from inner values, even when it might be expeditious to do so. A leader must have the trust of followers and therefore must display integrity.
Honest dealings, predictable reactions, well-controlled emotions, and an absence of tantrums and harsh outbursts are all signs of integrity. A leader who is centered in integrity will be more approachable by followers.
Dedication means spending whatever time or energy is necessary to accomplish the task at hand. A leader inspires dedication by example, doing whatever it takes to complete the next step toward the vision. By setting an excellent example, leaders can show followers that there are no nine-to-five jobs on the team, only opportunities to achieve something great.
Magnanimity means giving credit where it is due. A magnanimous leader ensures that credit for successes is spread as widely as possible throughout the organisation. Conversely, a good leader takes personal responsibility for failures. This sort of reverse magnanimity helps other people feel good about themselves and draws the team closer together. To spread the fame and take the blame is a hallmark of effective leadership.
Leaders with humility recognize that they are no better or worse than other members of the team. A humble leader is not self-effacing but rather tries to elevate everyone. Leaders with humility also understand that their status does not make them a god. Mahatma Gandhi is a role model for Indian leaders, and he pursued a “follower-centric” leadership role.
Openness means being able to listen to new ideas, even if they do not conform to the usual way of thinking. Good leaders are able to suspend judgment while listening to others’ ideas, as well as accept new ways of doing things that someone else thought of. Openness builds mutual respect and trust between leaders and followers, and it also keeps the team well supplied with new ideas that can further its vision.
Creativity is the ability to think differently, to get outside of the box that constrains solutions. Creativity gives leaders the ability to see things that others have not seen and thus lead followers in new directions. The most important question that a leader can ask is, “What if … ?” Possibly the worst thing a leader can say is, “I know this is a dumb question ... ”
Fairness means dealing with others consistently and justly. A leader must check all the facts and hear everyone out before passing judgment. He or she must avoid leaping to conclusions based on incomplete evidence. When people feel they that are being treated fairly, they reward a leader with loyalty and dedication.
Assertiveness is not the same as aggressiveness. Rather, it is the ability to clearly state what one expects so that there will be no misunderstandings. A leader must be assertive to get the desired results. Along with assertiveness comes the responsibility to clearly understand what followers expect from their leader.
Many leaders have difficulty striking the right amount of assertiveness, according to a study in the February 2007 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, published by the APA (American Psychological Association). It seems that being underassertive or overassertive may be the most common weakness among aspiring leaders.
A sense of humor is vital to relieve tension and boredom, as well as to defuse hostility. Effective leaders know how to use humor to energize followers. Humor is a form of power that provides some control over the work environment. And simply put, humor fosters good camaraderie.
Intrinsic traits such as intelligence, good looks, height and so on are not necessary to become a leader. Anyone can cultivate these leadership qualities.
