Tan Sri Bujang Mohd Nor - gravely silent over Muslim Cemetary uproar




Bujang - bukan Senang ...


There is an uproar over a Brooke era Muslim cemetary removed without the consent of relatives. On Aug 12, a Muslim official was beaten up while supervising the "unlawful" exhumation of 44 graves. While the land authority denied any official approval given for the development of the land, nobody appears to know anything. If they do, they refuse to say anything on it!

No serious undertaking as this escapes Taib Mahmud's purview, particularly land matters. Bujang Mohd Nor is a distinguished local Public Servant and retired Sarawak State Secretary. That this has happened at all and he being chairman of Lembaga Amanah Kebajikan Negeri Sarawak (LAKMNS)(Muslim Welfare Trust Board) suggests a mystery is brewing.

Are Muslims raiding tombs, too? This was a hot topic at a kampung wedding reception this morning. I had an early lunch but the food was quite mild - nothing especially cili hot!

In June 2008, Rantau Panjang, Sibu, 20 Dayak ancestral graves were levelled by a shipyard owner.

Biggest event since Merdeka - Thrash, so spoke Ibrahim Ali


... and the New Straits Times!

"...Parti Keadilan Rakyat adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's claim that he will take over the government before Sept 16 is a political gimmick, said the independent member of parliament for Pasir Mas, Datuk Ibrahim Ali...."

Since when has Ibrahim Ali been anything else?

"...He also said he would be tabling two motions in the parliamentary sittings on Monday and Tuesday.

The first covered "threats" to the official status of Islam, the Malay language and Malay special rights, while the second calls for a reduction in petrol price...."

If Ibrahim hasn't done anything consequential this far, he'll just bury decent Malays and everyone else!
