Twitbate Between LKS And YM T R

Found out that there was a "Twitterbate" over the internet. 

Haahaha....its my own term coined from Twitter Debate. So I call it Twitterbate. Or maybe Twitbate. Hahaha...anyway what I an glad is that its between two veteran Malaysian political 'dinosaur' from the different  political divide. Lim Kit Siang of DAP and YM Tengku Razaliegh Hamzah from UMNO. This is the political debate that we Malaysian want to see. Politicians from both divide debating for a common cause and they are debating over the right of Kelantan to be paid the oil royalty. Unlike the two Kelantan traitors of Tok Pa and Awang Adek who from my opinion has some hidden political agenda in them. 

Remember Terengganu? When PAS took Terengganu, oil royalties were forfeited as a lesson to the people for voting in the opposition. But when BN regain the state, the royalties were reinstated. This will happen to Kelantan if BN can wrest the state from PAS. They think the Kelantan people are just plain stupid. 

I  missed following the Twitbate because I was at work and only came to know about it from Malaysian Insider in the evening. Their debate can also be read HERE. 

SHOULD KELANTAN GET THE PETROLEUM ROYALTY?

The lates issue and is an issue for the Manek Urai (MU) by-election is petroleum royalty that should be paid in cash to the Kelantan Government. I am not good at elaborating the issue because I am not in that of business. But after reading blogs I think you must not miss reading this blog by Shieh Kickdefella. He posted facts and figures and Read it HERE.

BN is using Petronas as their hiding bunker as announced the PM in the news yesterday. Petronas will clarify the issue to deny the right of the people of Kelantan to share the country's wealth. This is what 1Malaysia is all about. Only one group gets the share.

Karpal Took The Wrong Route

Police said Karpal took the wrong route and thats why his car was pelted with water bottle. I wonder why do the police issue such statement when in fact they are responsible for safety of everybody. Why then was his car allowed to take that route when there are police personnel all over the place and did not direct Karpal's driver to follow the correct route allocated for PR. Was it not for the man manning the traffic to show the way because I am sure the police knew whose car it is and who is inside. 

As always the police will point fingers towards the opposition even for mistakes made by BN. The incident in the news is an example. The police should not make any conclusion before reports being investigated. If PDRM want to promote a clean image then they must shed off their attitude of unfairness.  

The Shoe

I might be late in pbulishing this post but I don't want to be left out of the publicity. Muntadharal-Zaidi has become an overnight hero for the Iraqis and also a symbol of hate towards the American who took part in creating hardship especially in the Muslim world starting from Isreal. To me Muntadharal should be awarded a medal for bravery that can't be matched by any other Iraqis or those victims of American terrorism. 

I think Bush who is counting his days to lift his ass from the US Presidency seat, has found the Weapon of Mass Destruction that he has been lying to the world to justify his terrorism on the Iraqis. He has also found the shadow of Osama Ben Laden. What was regreted was the shoe did not hit the traget. 

Strip the words away, and his and the Iraqi people's cry of deep pain, anger and defiance would amount to no more than a shoe-throwing insult. But the words were heard. "This is the farewell kiss, you dog," he shouted as he threw the first shoe. The crucial line followed the second shoe: "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq." - The Guardian. 

Next time maybe all journalist are not allowed to wear shoes at press conference. 

How Long The Royalty Will Stay?

The people of Terengganu got back what is due to them and they can thank their lady luck that there is a by election for Kuala Terengganu. If not for the by election schedule in January, the oil royalty will will not be reinstated  back to them. The return of the oil royalty has started the ball rolling for vote buying in the coming by-election. Terengganu will be getting RM 3 billion and the first RM 400 million will be handed to the Menteri Besar since the by-election is just round the corner. However BN will deny that the money given at this time has nothing to do with the by-election.  

 

Now that the royalty has been returned to the people of Terengganu, it is hoped that when PR take over, they can develop the state what the BN can't perform when they are in power. But the question is how long can the royalty stay in Terengganu.

Is Mumbai Attack Genuine?

The  attack episode on a hotel in Mumbai is over but the aftermath still looms especially for those affected and what more for those who lost their loved ones. Today I happen to read Kuda Kepang tittled "Terror Di Mumbai Adalah Bendera Palsu Perisikan India?" Reading the blog I now ponder whether the attack are genuine and carried out by Pakistan terrorist?

I copy some of what Kuda Kepang had written; Pembohongan dan kepalsuan ini sengaja dirancang, direka dan dihebahkan ke seluruh dunia menerusi perkakas propaganda – media cetak, media elektronk dan media digital – yang dikuasai oleh puak zionis.

Propaganda yang bertubi-tubi ini digunakan sebagai topeng kepada operasi bendera palsu yang dilaksanakan atau ditaja oleh kuasa-kuasa tertentu dunia. 

Reading the blog, now I recall the Twin Tower attack in New York. Theories are proving that the attack is not done  by Islam terrorist but by certain powers trying to justify the attack on Iraq. CIA, Mossad and MI6 has been successful in creating justifications to attack the  innocent such as in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and in Africa. Therefore the Mumbai attacks might be createdby these agents to get Pakistan and India into loggerhead. Read Kuda Kepang.  

A Sin Is A Sin

All of a sudden the subject of yoga has become a topic of debate. The decision of the Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan edict that yoga is haram (prohibited) eventhough for Muslims  might offend the Hindus since the practice of yoga  is related to the religion. However this edict does not affectnon Muslim. They are still free to practice the meditation and exercise.

As to other edicts, the responsible authority is just putting things straight. Whatever is stated in the Quran and Hadiths are laws to be followed by all Muslims. There is no question about it. The National Fatwa Council has already released the edict that smoking is haram, but still there many Muslims smoke including the imams and religuous scholars. It is as simple as committing a sin and one will be punished according to the sin committ. Every human being committ sins the prophet.

Whether the National Fatwa Council decided on the edict or not, whatever is not in tandem with Islam is haram. So, the National Fatwa Council's edict is nothing to shout about.  

The Message Was Not Sent?

After PRK was detained under ISA, candlelight vigil has been organised by vioce of the people sending messages to the government that the people are against draconian laws and detention without trial. 

After a few vigils and the last one in Penang ended up with an MC being detained for questioning. She was later released on bail. 

People are voicing out their disagreement with ISA but the government is still hanging on to this law inherited from the British. The British has long gone but we are still polishing their antiques.

When will the peoples' message get to their ears that draconion laws is already obsolete within democracy?

Temporarily Grounded

So the deal to buy Eurocopter has been grounded temporarily. However there still something nice to read about the issue.

EUROCOPTER DEAL: Seman explains why chopper deals sealed without physical evaluation.
Someone who wanted to buy a second hand car will inspect carefully the item and asked for a test drive. This is just for a dealing involving just a few thousand RMs.

PM admits price mistake, Najid says RMAF pilots tested Eurocopters at LIMA.
Tested at LIMA? Just that? Oh my....a prized buy and just a joyride test?

MINDEF explains Eurocopter purchase.

Lim Kit Siang says its a shameful episode in Parliament.

PAC says Eurocopter deal appears to have followed procedure.

The deal is temporarily shelved because of the economic gloom or as a process of cooling down?

Change The School Uniform

This was the suggestion by PMIUM (Persatuan Mahasiswa Islam Universiti Malaya). It was a follow-up by a statement from Munirah binti Bahari, Vice President Hewi, Persatuan Kebangsaan Pelajar Islam Malaysia (PKPIM). Her suggestion to Ministry of Education: "........bagi mengelakkan jenayah seksual dan penzinaan yang mungkin berlaku berikutan baju seragam sedia ada yang berwarna putih adalah jarang atau dalam bahasa Inggerisnya disebut 'transparent.' She suggested that the white school uniform be changed to coloured uniform.

Its a pro and cons. Many will argue that why when a girl fall victim to a male, its always the female is to be accused. Many too point fingers at the way the female dress. No doubt a sexily dressed women will make head turns in most men. Men are men. But not every man on the street is a molester or a raper. So, do dress is the main culprit of sexual crimes among women? To me dress is just part of the whole set up. Men too must be blame because he might has a sick mind to go beyond feasting his eyes.

As a Muslim I am not arguing about the aurat of women who must cover her whole body but the palm and face and men what is between his navel and the knee. "Sesungguhnya sebilangan daripada ahli neraka ialah perempuan-perempuan yang berpakaian, tetapi bertelanjang yang condong kepada maksiat dan menarik orang lain untuk melakukan maksiat. Mereka tidak akan masuk syurga dan tidak akan mencium baunya." Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim.

The school uniform in Malaysia has been in effect since late 60s (if I am not mistaken). Boys are encouraged to wear long pants while girls can choose either navy blue pinafore over white shirt or white baju kurung (a long tunic that covers the arms) over long navy blue skirt. When awareness of Islam catch up with Muslim girls, they start wearing the white tudung. They look very decent and fulfill the needs of Muslim womens dressing code that is to cover the aurat. There are however still a few who did not wear the tudung and hence exposed the white baju kurung and some whose baju kurung is a bit translucent or transparent, the bra line beneath can be seen. This is what I think that provoke the sexiness in the uniform. Are the girls to be blamed?

What about the role of parents in the first place and the teachers secondly to stop this?. Where is their obligation to advice their daughters to wear a thicker more opaque baju kurung? A baju kurung for once does not show the figure of the wearer. If the girl cover up with a tudung then the bra line can be concealed and does this still seen as sexy? Why not educate and advise the girls not to purposely expose what is under their baju kurung. If the baju kurung is translucent, why not ask them to wear a female singlet underneath?

I think to change the school uniform is a bit drastic these days when there are still ways to overcome. Would it be much better to educate the Muslim girls (and non Muslims) on the proper dressing etiquette as laid out by Islam and not because of a mosquito, the whole mosquito net is burnt.

Sexual harassment and sexual crime is not the fault of the women alone. Men too has to be blamed. One at times cannot clap with just one hand.

Another Proof of Double Standard?

Datuk Sri Anwar Ibrahim's speech was stopped halfway and as a loyal citizen he obeyed the order.
I am not going to blog about the Black 14 because I was not present. You can read about the event in many blogs today because there will be no report on the MSM or if there is it will be a scaled down report because as we all are aware that is their antic.

DSAI's speech was halted halfway. When the PR took over Penang last month, there was also an illegal gathering in Penang protesting the CMs announcement that BR want to abolish the NEP. Abolishing NEP and reviewing NEP are two different actions. I think UMNO did not understand English or maybe Manglish too.

In Terengganu when the MB issue was not settled there were also illegal gathering by the people and to the extreme of menderhaka to the Sultan.

In Shal Alam an illegal gathering was also organised and also by UMNO (using Kampung Ladang Tumbuk residents?) protesting the modern pig farming project in Sepang. It was however exposed that the project was to be carried out by none other than UMNO political figure himself and the Ketua Kampung is also part of the project.

All the three incidents was organised without any interefence from the PDRM.

The illegal gathering in Penang, worse still, were publicised over electronic media which carry out the comments by the leaders of the gathering which as usual is a campaign for the opposition( read as BN).

Is that not a double standard?

Whose Project Cost RM 100 Million?

It has been a major issue lately and UMNO is taking this opportunity to stab the new Selangor state government. Read what it says HERE and HERE and find out who is behind the project. And hehas the gut to be in the front line to protest against the project.

A Central Market For BR

The five states and Kuala Lumpur that has been captured by BR should not hope that the MSM and electronic media become a whistle blower for them. Selangor MB has already given an ultimatum to Selangor.fm to be for in their reporting and now given a week to change their policy to suit the new state government. The MB asked Selangor.fm to give the MB and Exco a slot of an hour for them to explain and whistle blow the state governments message so that the rakyat who voted them into office knew what the people they voted for are doing.

It is right for Datuk Khalid to tell Selangor.fm that, " Mereka harus ingat mereka bekerj di Negeri Selangor yang man kita yang memimpin negeri ini..." So, does the people worling in Selangor.fm think that they belong to BN? When Bn was the ruling government, all government staff were advice to be loyal to the government of the day. So when the government of the day is BR, then all government servants in the state are staff of the BR government not BN anymore. Or they are still doesn't realise that BN is becoming obsolete in Malaysia?

BR should learn this situation and now must come up with their own medium of communication. Now we depend on the individual websites such a Harakahdaily, Malaysiakini, Malaysiakita, Anwar Ibrahims blog and the BR component party's website for information.

Would it be easier for BR to set up a common information centre on the internet and all BR state government feed this website with news and programmes. It is much more effective than the print media?

Pig Farm- Wrong Footstep?

I think this is the first major issue that cropped up in BR ruled state. Protest has been organised the same as what happened when The Broga Incinerator project were to be built which in the end being scrapped.

I have seen and read blogs from some bloggers who were behind the success of PR during the last election is also not happy with the proposed project.

How modern the farm to be, it definitely does not come well when majority of the people in Malaysia are Muslims and the official religion is Islam. This has nothing to do with racial issues or religion but since Islam is the official religion of the country and its followers prohibits taking pork, the the source too must not be promoted.

This proposal even though was planned by the former BN (read as Kerajaan Barisan Nasional) government but it was not implemented yet. To PR, do not let this sensitive issue be a turning point to swing back the support of the people to the former government. Pig is a sensitive issue for Muslims. Therefore approving the project is tantamount to promoting the consumption of pork. If those people who can eat pork, let them do it without any restriction as long as cultural guidelines are not crossed. I see the project as promoting pig rearing and syubahah.

Termination of Tourism MOU Not Discrimination

That was the statement by Minister of Tourism Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

Se said as quoted by mStar, "Pembatalan MOU tersebut adalah keputusan daripada kerajaan pusat dan pihak kementerian hanya melaksanakannya. Kita bakal mengguna pakai polisi yang digunakan di Kelantan selama ini."

So the policy itself is a discrimination. Every cent of money in the Treasury belongs to the citizen of Malaysia and I don't think there is a different account for BN states and non BN states. Its taxpayers money and should be utilise for every body irrespective of who the government is.

To Malaysians, the termination has been viewed as a punishment by BN to the people of Kelantan, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur(?) for not voting them.

She was also quoted as saying, "Dan saya rasa kedua, Ketua Menteri dan Menteri Besar tersebut tidak faham akan prosedur serta polisi kerajaan pusat," So now it is clear that the Federal Government is for BN only and nobody else.

Sufiah- Child Math Prodigy ; The Sequel

The shocking exposure about math genius Sufiah, that we claim as Malaysian, did not stop with the news exposed by News of The World.

In a following run up she was interviewed again by NOTW and made the confession. The article published in NOTW reads : Being a hooker is summing I love - shock confession of a maths prodigy who turned to life of vice.

Pick from NOTW

And the Asian beauty defiantly claims that selling her body for up to £1,000 a time provides her with a far more glamorous life than she ever dreamt of when she went to Oxford University aged just 13.

"And I don't believe my education has been wasted—in fact I usually take problem sheets with me to solve before appointments."

"I have men who are thrilled about my passion for mathematics. In fact one made me recite equations while he pleasured me, then I gave him oral sex while he chatted about algebra. It drove him wild."

Oh No!! I am not going to write more sleazy lines here. If you are interested to know more click NOTW to read.

Save Sufiah? Our money? What!!

What!!!!!. Taxpayers money is going to be spent to save just one supposedly Malaysian women from prostitution in the Save Sufiah campaign. Whats the justification to send someone at the level of a Minister to UK just for the sake of a non Malaysian citizen? The money spent to save one soul can be put to better use locally on more needies.

If one surf the website advertising prostitution on the web there are other Malaysians too and why not they be listed in the campaign. Why waste time and money for the sake of a daughter of a Malaysian married to a Pakistani and residing in London who at her own will sell her body for sex at 130 pound an hour.

YBs, there hundreds more local Malaysians, who are Muslims (if the reason for the campaign is because Supiah is Muslim) and selling of their body in Malaysia. Aren't they too need to be rescued from the sinful alleys?

We can help these fellow Malaysians without having to send Minister in PM's dept, Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy, Senator Datuk Dr. Mashitah Ibrahim on a taxpayer paid holiday to England and without using the Malaysian public's money to pay for the university fees & other expenses of a British subject. sean-the-man.

It is much profitable to send rescuers to Chow Kit, Bukit Bintang, Jalan P. Ramlee and many more places in the country where more sinners can be saved rather than a holiday reward for two Ministers and their entourage at the expanse of taxpayers money.

However Minister of Higher Education Ministry, Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin has a more matured approach when he said, he would ask the Malaysian Student Department (MSD) in London to look into the matter and what drove the gifted girl to resort to prostitution. [NLRCTT think the service from MSD can be as good as free]

"Based on the MSD's report, we will find a way to help her, and see whether it's really because of her financial problem or there are other reasons," he told reporters here Wednesday.

Mohamed Khaled said the early report received indicated that her action was not due to her wanting to finance her studies as she had left her studies some time ago, but could be due to her family problems.

"She's 23 now and she's also a British citizen. She has the right to do what she wants... so our role is limited...." - BERNAMA

Proud CNN Found Me

I posted a blog in repsonse to the a Dutch politician film Fitna, insulting Islam and especially the Holy Quran. It was also in response to Tun Dr Mahathir urging Muslims to boycott Dutch product. FYI, I started boycotting Dutch products when the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy on 30th September 2005 issue was raised.

Today I least expect that my blog Boycott Dutch Products was quoated and listed in the CNN.com/Asia report. However I got the backtrack to CNN.com/Asia after my Live Traffic Feed tracked a visitor from Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland who arrived from edition.cnn.com on "life is full of xperience: Boycott Dutch Products".

At the moment of writing this post, I am feeling proud that my blog has found a place and marked on CNN.

Still About The Election- Masih Panasss

I met a friend who came from the north and we chat over some Koteow Goreng, Roti Canai, Teh Tarik and Teh O Ais Limau. The topic was none other than the election results. I know he was a staunch supporter of UMNO but now seems that he too had swung to the opposition eventhough he did not admit openly. I oculd remember during the last election in 2004, he was out on the streets at night putting up banners and campaign posters for the BN.

The issue he brought up was none other than the hot topic of the situation in Terengganu. Seems that everybody is talking about Terengganu. Nothing much can be said about Terengganu but wait for to outcome on the coming days after the new MB start his work today. We were contemplating that there might be a new by election for the state if when the new state assembly sits and decide to vote of no confident which can result in dissolving the state assembly. If a fresh election were to be done, we think that BN will loose another state.

The next issue that we talk about is that we are lucky that Tun M were not successful in removing the power of the Sultan. If he were to have removed the power of the Sultan, then there will be a state of instability because there is no vote of partiality because the country is ruled by politicians. And as politicians, they have their personal agenda for themselves and their cronies.

Why is Pak Lah defending DSIJ? Most people hear answering this question will not miss to mention Patrick Badawi. It seems that the name of Patrick Badawi sticks to Pak Lah just like Ting Pek Khing sticks to Tun Mahathir whenever Langkawi are mentioned and associated to projects. Patrick Badawi, DSIJ and Pak Lah might have something in common and any other man taking over the Terengganu government might open up a pandora box.

My friend was also talking about the election and wondering with a surprise as how can BN still retain Perlis. He is one of the election centre officer and was keeping a close watch on the election box which is for the first time transparent (only the ballot box is transparent, every other things not so transparent). He said that he could see the marks on the ballot paper since most of the paper were not folded properly and was exposed. However when it comes to counting of votes, BN emerged with most votes. He is wondering till today.

Another thing the is puzzling is about postal votes. When and where are they counted? Postal vote has been an issue for all previous elections and when the country is peaceful why must there be postals voters among the army where they can be present at polling centres on polling day. Even there might be some who had to be away on official security duty, these personnel can be exempted and carry out postal vote. But what about those who are staying in their camps and own home and were free during the polling day. But still they have to carry out postal voting. Just oen answer which the SPR can't answer: to win the BN.

Apple Vs Islam

See the pictures and make your judgment. I receive this in my email and love to share with all Muslim friends.

Hi All,

Please read the content below…..

In the business area of MID TOWN MAN HEATON in New York a new BAR is opened in the name of APPLE MECCA which is similar to KAABA MACCA .This bar will be used supply of VINE and Drinks. The Muslims of New York are pressurizing Govt of USA to not open this BAR.

Please do forward this mail to as many peoples as you can

My conclusion: At the time when they said Osama is terrorizing the world, there are still people and communities out there trying to disturb a beehive. Don't blame Islam if there are more Osama's born or created.
