IN THE RAW | Excesses of Malaysian Government, Home Minister and Police




14-year old Aminulrasyid


"The Government, Home Ministry and IGP must tender a public apology to the family of Aminulrasyid on the false allegations made against Aminulrasyid and his family after his death," the statement added.

It also recalled that Aminulrasyid's friend Azamuddin Omar, who was at the scene, had lodged a report that police had attempted to murder him during the incident.

"No action has been taken against any police officer on Azammudin's report," the statement added.

In the incident which shocked Malaysians, Aminulrasyid was shot at the back of his head by police while he and a friend were traveling in a Proton Iswara. The police later claimed he was involved in armed robbery, drawing angry reactions from family and friends.

In his report, Azamuddin who was with him in the car said they were chased by a team of policemen in an MPV as soon as they overtook them. One of the policemen then kicked and punched him when he got out to surrender, before he escaped and went home.

A Tan Sri leads Degrees Dummies



“The degrees are not recognised by the government and invalid. Those involved in buying fake degrees must come forward voluntarily,” he told a press conference at Selangor police headquarters, here today.

On July 16, a local newspaper exposed the sale of fake degrees by an education institute in Subang Jaya. which claimed to work with three foreign universities as partners.

The education institute was said to have sold Bachelor’s degrees for RM6,500 each, while Master’s and doctorates went for RM8,500 and RM10,500, respectively.

Some 525 people including VIPs were believed to have “graduated” and received fake degrees without attending lectures, sitting for examination and submitting papers.

Something is very wrong and rotten in the State of Denmark!

We have 2 phallic symbols that greet the sunrise. The country has lost more than RM1.08 trillions and we didn't hear about it till quite recently or some 20 months ago. A Prime Minister and a Chief Minister who do a lot of bizness and Senior Special Branch Police Officer who talked like a pig! He's not a very big pig. The bigger one is the Secretary to the Federal Goverment of Malaysia. He's a Phd of some sort and he waxed with unbounded imagination.

Can you beat that?

Here's more - the 2012 Merdeka Day logo is a sick joke and the signature tune for the celebration is thought to be a rip off!

Rais Yatem, Minister in charge of MCMC, bravely says, "...everything can look bad if the mind is closed."

That's true but no two different pieces of music are alike. But it's hard to tell the difference for Merdeka Day revellers.

All that Rais wants to do is keep people from talking about the George Kent Scandal that PM Najib is involved in!

Ramadan Thots | Is it wrong to be happy?





1Malayisa is a dreamland, a Disneyland and a circus of sorts.

Trouble is Malaysians are awake, it's not fun and the elephants are white.

It's not clear what Malaysians think and feel about the Harmony Act. It's like a Happiness Law. You know, it sounds like you might get locked up for being under distress, miserable or unhappy.

But Malaysians are locked-up, unhappy and soon Muslims have to fast for Ramadan with the average Malaysian household debt hitting the roof and punching holes.

It's a circus but its unreal. Where's the real Circus?

Anyway, you could just do some form of fasting this Ramadan - try dieting. And surely the Lord is forgiving and merciful.

Malaysia Politics | Fear of Fears - thinking afraid


"Speak Your Mind": Bersih 3.0, What's Next?



Check back at minute 4:40 and how insulated and incompetent the BN government is. The pillow huggers and the TV gazers are "intellectually not satisfied" !!!

Are you the Sony Model and/or just the old Artoo-Detoo with some loose wires ?

So much for visions and nightmares!

Malayisia Politics & Religion | The white elephant




It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind

So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen

And so these men of Hindustan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right
And all were in the wrong.

NST | The mighty Media Prema quashes Tok Guru

You know I get piqued about NST after been pissed over their "spittooning" of Bersih.

Who are these guys? I found out the group belongs to Media Prema which has muscles worth RM2.4 billions ! Well, with sums like that you get humbled when your internet bandwith and speed suck. Maybe it never occurs to them, you guess, that if they make your life liveable that RM2.4 billions would double or treble and go haywire at RM7.5 billions or RM10.0 bllions.

Who owns the group? Very simply stated, the UMNO(government party) people who captain the economy and who soldier for the country. What UMNO say is not Haram. Police brutality is operability. Now you really get the drift on those 40 Ulamas for Ali Baba. That said, they do give back to the community some RM30.0 millions. Well, to their...their buyers, their captive market!

Johan Jaafar[L] captains Media Prema and no Malaysian alive does not know him as his face flashes over all the media companies he leads in the group - several TV stations including the Government's. He is especially prominent when when his network dishes a spin and he is supposedly generous in his extrapolation of all else that supposedly ticks of our gray matter

This is the house[R] of Tok Guru Nik Aziz. Plain, petty to some, not prosperity to many and hardly the pinnacle of any captain of industry. At any time of his waking life, he might only have RM2.00 in his pocket. He needs little. People say he gives much.

Perhaps, they give it back to him in the security of his house and family. Or what else is there of the flower beds he has around. Kind words and kindness beyond conspicuous prices.

But the house is pretty in its own way for its owner.

Did he tell people to revolt? Did he tell them anything new but affirm and clarify what they did was right? He shared those values with Bersih people and they back and with all others on free will.

So what is a RM2.4 billiions group doing running down an old man who only has RM2.00 in his pocket? What would it cost for anyone to sit and chat with Tok Guru Nik Aziz? Very little. But a lot to MediaPrima, RM2.4 billions actually.

You now know why they say Tok Guru is a dumb old man who knows nuts of the economy.

Don't ask don't tell. Or what you say and do is Haram and the only place for you is hell. Please find out for yourself in the links below.

Fatwas and Fat Wars



We're gonna see more "Fatwas" being issued. There was one earlier by Tok Guru Nik Aziz and it was founded on clear and salient foundations and made no pretence of it's clear objective. It was a good Fatwa. Actually lots more people have made personal fatwas, earlier than Tok Nik and for purposes of practical communication his was well-founded.

There are many forms of fatwa. Amongst the Malays, when it's linked to religious fatwas, they carry various weights and meanings. And sometimes fear. I'd like to think of fatwas as clarion calls. There are numerous legal institutions embedded in Islamic culture that a decent Muslim would care to list. In fatwas, for the values they clarify and amplify, you gravitate towards them. As you did before Tok Guru declared it.

The one declared by the National Fatwa Council is suspect. Clearly it's a fatwa against Tok Guru Nik Aziz's fatwa and the smog politicians are cooking. Now we can see the extent of how Ali Baba and the 40 Ulamas work.

In Tok Guru's Fatwa he said it was compulsory. If you're not convinced with the injustices now, you can go and fry in hell yourself. In reality, you don't and won't fry in hell. You fidget and shift in your seats and regret you can't make it for valid practical reasons. The punishment is in your conscience. We cant say for those whose conscience did not appeal to it.

The National Fatwa Council as it appears now is openly a mockery in its construction, fundamentals, application and purposes.

That said, it could still be a guiding light to Muslims in different circumstances and constitution.

It's deceitful because assemblies for clear and peaceful purposes are sanctioned by the Legal Consitution. Neither did the National Fatwa Council exhibit understanding of the national Constitution nor salient principles of Fatwa. They have turned it into Fat Wars...in pursuance of apparent misguided objectives.

@Bersih 3.0 | Let's topple the Government



It's 50 years since Merdeka in 1963.

Malaysia is a consitutional monarchy and with a Parliament of a bicameral lower and upper house. And elections are consitutionally provided for.

When Mahathir Mohamad retired, his party was ruling and it still is. It seems unreal for Mahathir that that the government can change. The idea did not arise. There is only the government, UMNO or BN.

Well, too bad for Mahathir. The constitution says you can "topple" the government. Malaysians are calling for free and fair elections as consitutionally provided for and citizens want to topple the government in the forth coming elections.

Can you get any clearer than that?

If there's any truth in citizen accusation of the transgression UMNO/BN have committed, think about 50 years of ONE PARTY RULE!

How did they do it? In plain words ... by dictatorship! The Executive, Judiciary have plunderd the country and the process of laws have not worked to the maximum. Somethings worked but if we're that VISIONARY that is tantamount to one that values a small ineffectual part while the other is so huge and glaring it seems, is beyond your scope of vision.

Bersih 3.0 is clear - citizens want a new government and they want a fair and just means of toppling the present recalcitrant government and its leaders in the forth coming elections.

There are of course things you can't topple. You can't topple Gunung Tahan, Kinabalu or the Malaya Mountains in Kerala or the Himalayas at the world's roof. You climb mountains. When you reach the top of any mountain, there's only one way to go - down! You wonder if there are Malaysians buried in the Himalayas we haven't heard of.

Let's say this again to Mahathir Mohamad in no uncertain terms - WE WANT TO TOPPLE THE GOVERNMENT!

And it looks like we're well on the way there as citizen thoughts coalesce post Bersih 3.0.

Too bad Mahathir cannot topple the opposition. But UMNO/BN could without even trying!

@Bersih 3.0 | Accountability question



“...both the organisers and the state have equal responsibility to ensure peace and security. Yet in this case, the state imposed the entire burden on Bersih 2.0.

We discharged that burden fully and Bersih 2.0 had full control until tear gas was fired. Once that happened the burden shifted to the police to handle the situation that they had created. The responsibility became theirs. It must be noted that all the reported acts of violence that ensued came only after the tear gas was fired.”

@Bersih 3.0 | BBC | Who censored what?


Screenshot of BBC News bit on Bersih, Malaysia

I searched the BBC News on 28 evening and 29 April and saw the same image clip as screenshot today displayed above.

The following day the Youtube version of the videocast censored clip came in the mailbox and I put it up here.

Browsed BBC again just now at ..."news/world-asia-17879041"... and still it's the same as the screenshot above.

If I couldn't get today what was supposed to be on Bersih day 28 and further on 29 April from BBC themselves at their site, WHO IS CENSORING WHAT??? What would be the BBC's interests and all those decades of News before and after Merdeka? Astro has no interest in Malaysia except the monopoly it now has. The Youtube clip very professionally mastered of the censored BBC news videocast of 28 April is what civil society would provide as an an endearing contribution. Could BBC have enduring interests? Despite the official protest it has purportedly made to Astro? And which protest has not gone to open publication but only after being prodded by Sarawak Report?


UPDATE | CENSORSHIP BBC's News video

BBC's website is best viewed by Firefox. Google has problems handling BBC's audio/video plugins, as a result of which I was not able to view the clip, my browser being Chrome. I have long given up on IE, the slug crawler!

The following is a screenshot of the Bersih KL news video by BBC. It would have been fruitful had BBC put an advisory of their audio and video fits. - 2:17 PM 2/5/2012

@Bersih 3.0 | In the defence of breaking barricades





In passage with dignity;
in purpose without apology.



“The truth is that we all went there to break the law. A law devoid of fair play and justice, a law which is enforced to the detriment of ordinary citizens. The barricades blocking our march into Dataran Merdeka are the clearest and most tangible symbol of the government’s animosity to the ordinary public. It would be foolish to be there and not dismantle them...”

Citizen Security | How quickly we forget



28 April was a fine day. Sun was up and hopes flew high. By late afternoon it rained ... on dissenters against unfair election practices in Malaysia. Malaysian Police poured a hard rain of blows on citizens.

Tunku Aziz, Vice Chairman of DAP Malaysia, is trying very hard not to gloat ...that he was right. If only Malaysia took his wise counsel of his vehement opposition to Bersih 3. He could have stopped the fine weather on 28 April though it had rained hard on "politik jalan"(roadside/street politics) that the gracious and gentile Malaysians deeply frown on.

They say Malaysians "mudah lupa". Yes, we slam the car door closed and leave the keys in. Not all the time but some of the time. And you forget.

It was Magrib prayer time at Masjid Jamek on the eve of Bersih Day, when Siti Aishah, garbed in yellow Bersih T-shirt was preparing for prayer. The Police stopped her. The reason: she was wearing the yellow Bersih T-shirt.

We're still sarung stuck to the car door as far as governance, accountability and transparency go.

In the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysia Police of 4th February, 2004, the dose of reforms were spelt out in no uncertain terms. But Malaysia dozed off.

Among the many weaknesses, the principal one was Police Brutality and corruption. But we forgot.

Perhaps Tunku Aziz might like to reMEMBER? It doesn't matter if he wishes to reMEMBER with DAP or UMNO. Or disMEMBER from whatever and whoever. Perhaps, by so doing he might have sober recall.

@BERSIH 3.0 | Rogue BN Malaysia Gov't threatens overseas students because of Bersih



"Sarawak Report has obtained copies of a highly intimidating email that has been sent out by an official from Malaysia’s Education Department in Washington to all Malaysian students receiving grants in the United States.

Written in dire language, the email blatantly threatens students that if they are “so rash” as to take part in tomorrow’s Bersih rallies calling for Free and Fair Elections they risk “very serious peril” and could be stripped of their scholarships."
