TUESDAY PICK -011

SHAH ALAM: Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah is saddened by certain quarters who question the special privileges of the Malays, the relevance of the Malay royal institution and its role in the country’s administration.

He said their intent, for the constitutional monarchy system to be scrutinised and reappraised, with the excuse that the country had undergone modernisation and the current system was no longer suitable, was unjustifiable.

Sultan saddened by those who question privileges

+++++

Senator Tunku A Aziz as early as 2Nov 2010 touched on this:

“I can understand the rulers’ unease and apprehension after what Mahathir did to denigrate and run their institution into the ground, spewing filthy lies and uncharitable innuendoes against them individually and collectively. And, generally, he succeeded in causing public disaffection. Why was he not charged?

The rulers seemed, at that time, to have accepted Mahathir’s lese majeste without a murmur and UMNO, now their avowed protectors, went along with, and did nothing to restrain, Mahathir’s megalomaniac excesses against their own rulers.”–Tunku A. Aziz

“RESPECT CONSTITUTION” screamed the New Sunday Times front page. There is really no need for the “Malay rulers” to have undue misgivings about their humble subjects occasionally dipping into the Constitution and questioning some aspect or other they do not fully understand.

Common, ordinary people like me are not Constitutional experts, unlike at least one of their Highnesses. Fear us not because we are not thinking even remotely of storming the Bastille. Such an unworthy thought has never crossed our minds, and certainly not mine.

Tenku Aziz continues HERE

+++++

On the BN front, Najib Tun Razak continues to croon racial unity, while his minions run beserk on the ground calling the Indians drunkards, and telling the Chinese to take the next ship back to China.

The nation's former premier continues to spew venom at the age of 84, sometimes even sounding like a member of the Klu Klux Klan hell-bent on lynching all those who oppose Malay supremacy.

Malaysians, especially the middle class, have become disillusioned and weary of the political climate and apathy is creeping in. Like the Malay phrase, it is simply a case of “dua kali lima”.

So perhaps it is our democratic right not to exercise our democratic right to vote unless these political
jesters get their acts together and put up a credible performance.

Dua kali lima = political apathy


+++++

Salah guna kuasa (Abuse of Power)

Kami sokong Datuk Seri Najib, make no mistake about that. But Datuk Seri cannot have people like Tan Sri Zarinah running an institution as important as the SC kalau Tan Sri Zarinah boleh buat kesilapan besar seperti yang kami nak share with all of you now.

Tan Sri Zarinah Anwar must take a RM100 paycut

PERKASA PIMPING?


Who can identify with prostitutes?

Who associates with prostitutes?

Who “owns” prostitutes?

Who manages prostitutes?

Who calls a prostitute, a prostitute?

Who profit from prostitutes?

Who are the experts on prostitutes?

PIMPS YAH?

GO FIGURE OUT WHO THE PIMPS ARE!

+++++

Dispatch from Hantu II Putra Jaya:

The PIMPs had to make some noise.

Since the numero uno was sent a warning from heaven he has been observing some vow of silence.

Observing this vow of silence he is reported to have sent this sms to his second in command – the guy with the foot-high songkok:

THE FOUNDATION IS ASKING WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE RM70+ MILLIONS FOR OUR CAUSE? DO SOMETHING! DO ANYTHING, BEFORE THE FOUNDATION ASK MORE QUESTIONS.

Obediently this high-songkok did.

He branded the President and Deputy President of PKR, prostitutes.

Do your brains get bigger if hidden under an unusually tall headgear?

We hatch chickens with simulated heat.

But brains?

Well, probably another PERKASA brain-wave.

+++++

QUOTABLE QUOTES ON PIMPING

Pimps are a good example of why some animals eat their young.

You have to stand in line to hate such people.

SUCH ARROGANCE!

Malaysiakini reported:

Newly-elected PKR deputy president Azmin Ali has vowed to rid the party of “traitors” following the bruising two-month-long party election process which has soured the party's public image.

Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby today, Azmin (
right) said the “clean-up” will begin immediately after the party's national congress on Sunday.

He urged party members to develop “principles of loyalty” to preserve the
reformasi spirit and ensure that there will no longer be any treachery within PKR.

A tad too arrogant, no?

Syed Husin thinks and did say so, yes? Arrogance that is.

The true mark of a leader is to give solutions.

You do not arbitrarily impose solutions until you know the cause of the problem in PKR.

It is a known fact that the whole and probably only cause of the problem is the suspicious election process that accumulated more than 160 complaints.

The attendant infighting and back stabbing are the symptoms of the problem.

It is a known fact that the recently run elections nurtured and was the breeding grounds of “traitors” within PKR.

It is a known fact that Azmin’s victory was a hollow victory because approximately only 8-10% of the nearly 400,000 members. Is that a satisfactory mandate to scour for “traitors”?

It is time to clean house, as the party image has been bastardized rather than soured by the chicanery exposed.

It is time to heal!

This is not the time to “KILL!”

IS IT THAT EMPTY VESSELS MAKE THE MOST NOISE?

Don't Open Your Mouth Too Much !

author unknown

One night at a party following a successful flight a young pilot, also a student of medicine, talked about how imperfectly constructed is the human jaw. "For example,", he said," if you were to insert a relatively large object in your mouth, like say, an ordinary 60 Watt lightbulb, you would not be able to take it out again." Everyone laughed at this joke and the drinking continued.

But when the party was over and everyone had gone their separate ways, one unfortunate remembered the light bulb story and said to himself, "That can't be true, if it can go in, it has to be able to come out again. It can't be dependent upon direction." And without delay he stood on his toilet bowl and removed the light bulb above. At first he couldn't get it into his mouth, but after some struggle and effort it slipped in perfectly. But he couldn't get it back out again! What to do now? He tried desperately with all his might to extricate the bulb.

About an hour later his roommate returned from a different party and was confronted with a strange sight. His friend had something that looked like the end of a light bulb sticking out of his mouth.

"What's going on here?", he asked.

Instead of an answer he received only a sort of mumbling. Following a dialogue of hand gestures, he pulled out a pad and pencil and wrote out his tight situation. The posssibility of breaking the bulb was ruled out right off as too dangerous, the shards could be life threatening. The best solution was to go to the emergency surgery ward at the hospital.

So they set out by public transport to the hospital. Even though it was already late at night, the bus was full of people. Our patient tried covering his mouth with his hand and giving embarrassed looks at the people staring at the bulb sticking partially out of his mouth.

The doctor at the hospital examined the bulb in disbelief. As he was a fresh graduate, he called in his colleague, an experienced surgeon. The surgeon stated that throughout his career had not seen a case like this, but that he works with jaws all the time and that it would be painful. The unfortunate nodded in assent and so the surgeon pressed and pulled at the right places, dislocated the jaw, removed the unbroken bulb and re-set the jaw. In order for the patient's tendons to heal properly, the surgeon bound up his chin with a bandage.

By then it was too late to take public transport home, so the two friends treated themselves to a taxi ride, happy that the problem had been resolved. The talkative driver started a conversation with them right off and wanted to know what had happened to the guy with the bandaged head this late at night. They told him the whole story. The cab driver looked over the lightbulb they handed him as evidence.

"But that's not possible!, if it goes in it has to come out!"

The two friends didn't even have a chance to warn before the driver had stuck the bulb into his mouth. He pulled the cab over to the curb, and after several futile attempts at removing the bulb, he begged the two friends to take him to the jaw expert. Everyone can surely imagine the expression on the surgeon's face ...!

+++++

FRIENDLY WARNING

To all readers! Don't try it!

Not on yourself or on others.

This is not a joke, though it may seem so at first.

And most certainly don't tell this story in the presence of children or defiant politicians.

SILENCE CAN BE GENTLEMANLY ELEGANT. DEFINITELY!


My last posting on the PKR elections was on Nov 8 CAPITAL DECISION ZAID that evoked 48 comments. Since then I have had many emails and sms on this silence. The message is the same: Your silence is disquieting.

I stand GUILTY as charged and anyone can pummel me with any choiced adjectives, but allow me this latitude…..I do not wish to hurt people I still harbor some faith and hope in!

I leave you with these thoughts:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool … than to speak out and remove all doubt.- Abraham Lincoln

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature — trees flowers, grass — grows in silence; see the stars, the moon, and the sun, how they move in silence. — Mother Teresa

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact. — George Eliot

Silence is not a thing we make; it is something into which we enter. It is always there … All we can make is noise. — Mother Maribel of Wantage

I hope Zaid and Anwar will together make another CAPITAL DECISION –

let good sense prevail. Surely we deserve this much, at least.

MASING SAYS "YES"!


Radio Free Sarawak gets seal of approval from BN minister James Masing


Speaking in a set piece interview on the Rajang River log jam disaster, broadcast Friday 19th November on Radio Free Sarawak , James Masing, who is the Iban representative of the area and a senior minister in Taib’s BN government said that he welcomed the new radio station’s arrival on the scene.

Speaking in Iban he said he “liked the idea” of the alternative radio station and said “other ministers would be happy to talk on your show, it is very nice”. Coming out in favour of allowing Sarawak a free media, he also signalled his approval of Sarawak’s blogging community, such as Sarawak Report and Malaysia Today. He said, “bloggers are everywhere you cannot stop them”.
In a wide ranging interview, conducted in a mixture of Iban and Malay with RFS’s anchor man, Papa Orang Utan, Masing confessed that the government has been getting it wrong on a number of important fronts including logging he said “God is angry with us for taking the logs”. He admitted there was not enough supervision from the NREB or The Forest Dept. By doing so he effectively contradicted the government’s claims that this is a natural disaster and not a man-made disaster.

He also acknowledged BN’s lamentable failure to implement key human rights in native areas, accepting that many indigenous people still suffer grievously because they have not received birth certificates or ID cards over the last 30 years of Taib’s government.
James Masing, who is minister of land and the leader of the key Iban PRS party with 9 seats in the coalition, had just completed a traditional Miring ceremony in Balleh to appease the gods over what had happened with the logging disaster. Despite his obvious reservations, he nevertheless resisted repeated questions about whether he was planning to ‘jump ship’ before the next election.


The full interview can be heard on Radio Free Sarawak on Friday 19th November at 6.30-7.30 am – 7590 kHz

and repeated at 1800-1900 – 15680 kHz, alternatively log on to our podcast at www.radiofreesarawak.org.

FRIDAY GUEST BLOGGER: MARIAM MOKHTAR


One man’s treasure is another man’s rubbish. Namewee’s brand of music – rap or hip-hop with its emphasis on profanity is vulgar ‘noise’ to some ears but the young considers such tunes as music to their ears. That is why Eminem or Jay-Z are so popular.

Another ridiculous objection raised by Abu Jimmi was when he said that Namewee had “hurt the feelings of the people before”.

If I was given one cent for the number of times I had “hurt the feelings of the people before”, I would be a millionaire by now!

THE WHISTLER SAID ROSMAH SAID......

YESTERDAY noon, already late for the Hari Raya Haji's lunch at Datuk Hj Mohd Yasin Taib and Datin Salmiah Mohd when I was waylaid by the Whistler (the same guy who did not want to be classified as Hantu or Whistleblower, remember?) It has been weeks since we talked and it was opportune that I could wish him Selamat Hari Raya Haji too.

THAT IS WHAT THE WHISTLER
SAID ROSMAH SAID TO NAJIB!

It has been rumored that Najib's plans/policies must be vetted
by Rosie's aides who will under her instructions then give the
GO or NO GO!
+++++

Bouyed by the easy wins in Batu Sapi and Galas, Najibs aides have had scores of closed-door meetings (but never in Putrajaya for obvious reasons). Policies are in place to give the UMNO President the sole right to appoint candidates for GE13 in the BN coalition. The aides believe that that is one way the numerous mosquito parties can be reined in and muted. The DPM was delegated to hold a meeting with the coalition today, after which the PM will lay out his strategies for GE13 at the MCA HQ (again for obvious reasons....it cannot be in Putrajaya!)

It was reliably relayed to the Whistler that the HOME HOUSE Minister soared into a near-demented tantrum and pointedly told her house-mate: “Don’t you dare call for GE13. Finish your first term. I have unfinished business. My various programs have just started and don’t you dare derail them! And here is a list of Ministers my aides say you should sack in your soon-to-be cabinet reshuffle as advised by my aides!”

I probed the Whistler for the list….but he shooed me off to my Hari Raya Haji lunch with a stern reminder that there is such a thing as the OSA!

SUCH POWER ONE CAN WIELD

IF ONE CAN SING!

Charles de Gaulle, a tank corps officer in the French Army, refused to take part in the surrender(of France); he fled to England where, on the eve of the French capitulation, he broadcast a message to the French people over the BBC on June 18, 1940. This historic speech rallied the French people and helped to start the resistance movement. Part of his speech is quoted below:

Is the last word said? Has all hope gone? Is the defeat definitive? No. Believe me, I tell you that nothing is lost for France. This war is not limited to the unfortunate territory of our country. This war is a world war. I invite all French officers and soldiers who are in Britain or who may find themselves there, with their arms or without, to get in touch with me. Whatever happens, the flame of French resistance must not die and will not die.

Although Charles de Gaulle was not well known in France, and few people had heard his broadcast, this was the beginning of the French resistance which slowly gained momentum.

In 2005, a new museum at the Natzweiler Memorial Site was dedicated to the heroes of the French resistance whose efforts to defeat the Nazis and liberate Europe were significant. By the time that the Allies were ready to invade Europe in June 1944, there were as many as 9 major resistance networks which were fighting as guerrillas against the German occupation of France. There were an estimated 56,000 French resistance fighters who were captured and sent to concentration camps; half of them never returned.

Courteous, as I always try to be even when some commentators can be trying, I gave Dennis a reply in my comment box. I am producing in toto what appeared in MT. It is courtesy to LINK to MT but that might be too troublesome for Dennis. As such an unexpurgated reproduction of Emmanuel Joseph’s letter to Zahid:


I love my country. Very much. So much that I’m still here despite your party officials insulting my mother, my father, my ancestors and everyone else in my family than can be insulted. I’m still here despite the fact your government has told my church what we can or cannot call our God. I’m still here despite my very real fear that someday I may not be able to enjoy my favourite Taiwanese sausage at the penalty of being caned. I’ll still be here tomorrow despite the fact that most of your party members who read this would go ‘Balik China/India’ almost immediately after. And I still want to serve my country, socially, politically, or otherwise. In my case it’s working towards making a better Malaysia, even if it means replacing the current government democratically.

By Emmanuel Joseph

Dear YB Dato’ Seri,

A few days ago, I understand from news reports, you mentioned in a speech that non-Malays like me shunned the military service because we are ‘unpatriotic’. Honestly, on a personal note, the reason’s is almost entirely economic. Going through a grueling training regime in the hot Malaysian sun, wet Malaysian tropics and dusty Malaysian roads knowing its not exactly going to provide me with enough money to provide comfortably for my family in the future is not exactly my career path of choice. I would much rather be typing in front of a monitor for a living, much like what I’m doing now, and earn more money doing it.

You see, if our government made more money, which would enable it to pay hard working, life risking civil servants like the military, police and DBKL more, I would probably have grown up wanting to be a member of PASKAL much like every American kid wants to be a Navy Seal.

That being said, if you gave me an M-16 and told me a neighbouring miniature island state was trying to overrun Johor with armed with Israeli training, German guns, American tanks, Russian nationalism and Singaporean kiasuism, I would not think twice about toting a gun to defend our country's honour, and to shoot a few of our long-lost cousins for stealing more than a few of our FDIs, talents and beautiful women over the last four decades.


YB Dato' Seri,

Kiasuism and hot former Malaysians aside, one question has been bugging me lately.

What makes a patriot?

To me, a patriot is someone who loves his or her country, is loyal to her, and would die defending her. By extension of this, a patriot would feel love and devotion to his or her countrymen, and would be loyal to them, and die defending them. And truly, there are many Malaysians I would die for.

I would gladly lay down my life for anyone who would do the same for me. Khalid Samad, I would die for. Haris Ibrahim, definitely. The other Ibrahim who was once your colleague, probably ok, maybe. Kit Siang, Karpal, Gobind, yes. Big yes for Raja Petra. I’d even take a bullet for MCA’s answer to Ron Jeremy or even any of our mega-tower obsessed Prime Ministers! I’m not too sure if I’d take a bullet, even from any pretty former Malaysian-now-Singaporean model, for, say, Zulkifli Nordin, or Ridhuan Tee, or the guy who called my mum a prostitute and dad a beggar. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t either.

How do you measure patriotism?


YB Dato’ Seri,

To me, a municipal cleaner who honestly cleans his street corner well, simply because its his duty, is more of a patriot than a high profile municipal councillor who steals from the coffers he should be guarding. To me, a poor single mother who teaches her child the virtues of loving your country is more of a patriot than some venom-spitting bigwig politician who berates another race to climb the political ladder at the cost of race relations.

To me, an honest policemen who stands at a street corner in the rain and shine, directing traffic on a busy intersection, is a bigger patriot than a corrupt high ranking cop who’s on the take from every Ah Long, Ah Hor and A-Hak Ser Wie out there. To me a stuttering Mentri Besar who is honest and tries genuinely to make his state better is more patriotic than any smooth talking Casanova look-alike minister whose ego is only surpassed by his bank balance and whose biggest contribution to the nation is some collapsed stadium or a roof-leak in a government building or a cracked highway.

To me a politician who tries to fight for a better Malaysia, regardless which camp he or she belongs to, is a patriot.


YB Dato’ Seri,

Patriotism to me is to love one’s country no matter how. We have, after all, some funny ways to show our love for the country already - like having huge record breaking teh-tarik sessions, longest flag pole, biggest mooncake, longest popia, and making the Malaysian flag out of paper cans and one cent coins, and its all good except how many people who participated in those activities felt any more Malaysian doing it? In fact how many were even Malaysian to begin with?

And forgive my pessimism, but somehow I feel grinning broadly next to a 1Malaysia Deepavali kolam pointing your forefinger heavenward while being strategically arranged (Malay, Chinese, Indian & Lain-Lain) for a perfect Muhibbah photo is good only for a facial muscle-phalange exercise unless people stop telling the Indians they’re ingrates with too many temples, the Chinese that you shouldn’t be allowed to have your own schools or anyone, ‘you should be thankful you have citizenship’.


YB Dato’ Seri,

I love my country. Very much. So much that I’m still here despite your party officials insulting my mother, my father, my ancestors and everyone else in my family than can be insulted. I’m still here despite the fact your government has told my church what we can or cannot call our God. I’m still here despite my very real fear that someday I may not be able to enjoy my favourite Taiwanese sausage at the penalty of being caned. I’ll still be here tomorrow despite the fact that most of your party members who read this would go ‘Balik China/India’ almost immediately after. And I still want to serve my country, socially, politically, or otherwise. In my case it’s working towards making a better Malaysia, even if it means replacing the current government democratically.

So YB Dato’Seri , I so badly want to be patriotic. I just hope you’ll allow me to be.


Thanks.


Sincerely,

Emmanuel Joseph

ZAHID HAMIDI FACING RAKYAT FIRING SQUAD.

I THOUGHT PEOPLE ARE DONE SEETHING
WITH ANGER ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT HE
BETRAYED ANWAR IBRAHIM.

HOWEVER, READING MY BLOGROLL I CAME ACROSS
2 POSTINGS - ONE FROM AN EX-SOLDIER AND THE OTHER
FROM A REJECTED POLICE POTENTIAL.

+++++


Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is a "hole in the rectum"....and I am being extremely polite, for his statement that "non-Malays shun a military career because they lacked patriotism". His sense of history and the contributions of the Chinese, Indians and our brothers from East Malaysia towards the sovereignty of Malaysia is being actively abrogated by him. That is a racist and bigoted view, pure and simple. Go here to look at the winners of valour awards, not including those who had laid down their lives, are maimed, not forgetting the Non Malay Police Officers. Guess when the Chinese and Indians were bleeding and dying for this nation, he might just have been a "dirty glint in his father's eyes" or just "swimming in his father'scojones". I will not allow my emotions get to me by being vulgar talking about our Defence Minister who cannot construct a decent sentence in English, I will not dwell on that.

READ AN EX-SERVICEMAN RANT

He wanted to be a police inspector but.....

In 1995/6 after my STPM exams I went to the Penang Police HQ (Penang Rd) to apply for the post of Police Inspector. The requirement was a STPM qualification at that time.

Once there we were given a physical routine check up and those who were qualified were given the application form. Simple as that!

But went it came to my turn the officer in charge refuse to hand-over the application form to me on the basis that my STPM results were good. My physical check up was fine.

He said “kamu tak payahlah masuk polis. Buang masa aje dengan result yg bagus cam tu”. (You don’t need to enter the Police Force. Just a waste of time since you have a good STPM results.)

What the hell? Still, I tried to reason with him that I really wanted to be in the police force and wiling to sacrifice my public university entry for this. He said better don’t waste your time here!
