Politik Negara Berkeceramuk

Sebagai Rakyat yang matang terhadap situasi Politik, seharusnya kita menyedari perkara seperti ini dihadapi oleh setiap Negara yang ber-Kerajaan.

Alangkan Negara jiran sering bergulingan, maka sudah barang tentulah Malaysia tidak ketinggalan. Walau pelbagai fahaman songsang meracuni Rakyat kita, Alhamdulillah kita tidak ketahap mereka.

Setiap Era pemerintahan tidak pernah lekang dari serangan demi serangan baik dari luar mahupun dalam Negara sehinggakan Era Tun yang telah berlalu dengan meninggalkan pelbagai Mercu kebanggaan malahan dijulang ke peringkat dunia sehingga kini masih juga ditentang oleh mereka-mereka yang tidak menyenangi kewujudannya didalam kancah Politik Negara semasa.

Yang jelas dalang luar bersembunyi di sebalik Parti Pembangkang yang tidak mengambil kira baik buruk yang melanda Negara asalkan matlamat mengambil alih tampok pemerintahan dicapai.

Dewasa ini Rakyat Malaysia menghadapi situasi yang lebih getir apabila salah benar isu-isu ber-profile tinggi yang disebut-sebut secara terusnya melibatkan Perdana Menteri tidak lagi menjadi keutamaan akibat kesan kesukaran yang dihadapi oleh rakyat apatah lagi GST mengambil tempat didalam kehidupan Rakyat masa kini.

Rombakan Kabinet mengejutkan Rakyat apabila berberapa Menteri yang terbukti cemerlang disingkirkan akibat secara terbuka mengkritik kredibiliti Perdana Menteri menangani isu-isu Negara yang melibatkan beliau secara peribadi.

Jika angin tidak bertaufan, masakan pokok menyembah kebumi, begitulah jika kekusutan sekadar ciptaan masakan Pemimpin-pemimpin Negara luar turut berbunyi, mengkritik beliau secara terbuka sehinggakan keyakinan Pelabur diperingkat dunia juga luntur terhadap Negara.

Seharusnya dengan isu-isu yang seolah tiada kesudahannya malahan semakin hari semakin menular, menyemai benih kebencian diminda Rakyat dan ketidakpercayaan terhadap kepimpinan Perdana Menteri dan barisan kepimpinanya tidakkan mampu ditepis dengan segerombolan Pejuang Cyber upahan mahupun program-program kebajikan yang gah diatas kertas laporan semata.

Bak pepatah orang lama, “Akibat Nila setitik maka rosaklah susu sebelanga” pepatah ini ada benarnya namun “Dalam setandan pisang pasti ada yang membusuk sebiji dua” yang busuk kita potong dan buang selebihnya pasti mampu dimanfaatkan.

Maka sebagai Rakyat yang prihatin dan berpengetahuan tinggi dewasa ini, kita seharusnya bijak menilai dan berpegang kepada prinsip bahawa “Kebenaran Kekal Benar”. Bukan keseluruhan barisan yang ada menghancurkan malahan mereka seharusnya bijak mengekalkan kedudukan agar masih ada lagi Pemimpin berjiwa Rakyat berada di kepimpinan teratas lantas kebajikan Rakyat tidak terabai secara total.

Enak menyerang biarlah dengan kebenaran jangan fitnah jadi sulaman kehidupan, hinggakan usaha membela Rakyat jadi taruhan akibat kebencian terlampau terhadap tampok pemerintahan.

Sedikit hasutan Developer yang gagal membida maka bertebaran didada media maya menuntut kononnya tanah di Kampung Datuk Keramat akan dibangunkan bangunan-bangunan mewah yang harganya mencecah RM750K. Maka bangkitlah pelbagai NGO menjadi wira Rakyat menentang usaha Menteri Wilayah dan DBKL agar dibina 100% RUMAHWIP.

Hakikatnya...

Sebanyak 274 unit dengan 800 kaki persegi RUMAHWIP dijual dengan harga RM188K hingga RM198K dan 274 unit dengan 1000 kaki persegi dibina dengan status pasaran terbuka dengan harga RM560K.

Perkara ini menimbulkan ketidakpuashatian segelintir individu yang gagal memenuhi kepentingan mereka apabila Menteri Wilayah berjaya melakukan “cross subsidy” tanpa menggunakan peruntukan Kerajaan. Ini merupakan satu contoh dari pelbagai usaha pemimpin yang berusaha untuk Rakyat yang dimanupulasikan semata-mata atas kepentingan golongan tertentu.

Sebagai Rakyat yang bijaksana gunakanlah kepintaran agar tidak mudah terpedaya seterusnya berkemampuan menilai kebenaran berbanding kebathilan.

Lakukanlah penelitian sebelum kita diperbodohkan dalam kecerdikan yang nyata.

Fatal Attractions II - Animosity Within

While the World is busy fighting to put a stop to Poverty, the Political scenario in Malaysia is still panting over self inflicted hunger games. Indicated earlier through Fatal Attractions 1, the Opposition Parties in the Country as well as the ruling Party fits the list perfectly.

Oppositions will be oppositions; they oppose everything you do well; what more when you do badly; and by day the eagerness to be in power increases and readily targeting GE14 as their marking point. These problems have been around too long and the progress in dealing with them is far too slow. But as we speak of the ruling Party under the Leadership of YAB Datuk Seri Najib, once…everything seemed to be in order, a bit of cavity here and there yet unnoticed, profiling strength yet weaknesses but tolerable, injecting constant creativeness with continuous amendments but endurable, and suddenly there was this only one question and all hell breaks loose.

As we look back to re-track the root cause, you may want to agree on the part where the question with regards to the financial scandals of 1MDB were as a matter of fact initially popped discreetly with the intentions to help determine the best possible reasons and the best possible answers in order to tact the mess within, and when the responds were vague and formless, there goes the public statement by the former Prime Minister. One question on 1MDB had led one too many…Tabung Haji, KWSP, GST, FGV, Jo Low, Ananda Krishnan, the Cayman Islands, weakening Ringgit, and many more astounding issues including having the double headed Python like Chegu Badd to the rescue…??? Don’t we have enough perpetrators serving the Party already?

1MDB wasn’t audited for fifteen (15) months, fixed and floating assets were purchased beyond the word expensive, investments were unreasonable, and these are only several out of many more ambiguous management decisions in which weren’t brought to the attention of the Parliament and never knew about by the Cabinet.

When the Cabinet themselves aren’t sure of the actual thing that had taken place in 1MDB, I guess it’s only fair for them to stop demonstrating baseless counter attacks against the former Prime Minister or even questioning the Rakyat over their fear. You may state your disagreements but not by way of pouncing on past failures of others, but pay attention on the present malfunctions instead. Attacking Tun Dr. Mahathir over his failures or of his family’s wealth would only make you look hopeless. Tun Dr. Mahathir’s concerns were more of logical oriented whereas the Prime Minister’s devotees’ were more defensive based. The cavity in 1MDB was only noticeable by the Cabinet and the Rakyat when Tun Dr. Mahathir did what he had to do…and that was the day he told YAB Datuk Seri Najib to step down.

And with all these self-protective cause of actions portrayed by those in favor of YAB Datuk Seri Najib, ask yourself these questions:

1- Would you blame Tun Dr. Mahathir for popping the question or would you blame 1MDB for not revealing the actual fact?

2- Who started it and what caused it – Tun Dr. Mahathir for making it public or 1MDB over the financial scandals we all once never knew about?

3- Whose attacking and who’s being defensive – Tun Dr. Mahathir for his continuous public disagreements or the Prime Minister’s devotees continuously putting up impractical fights?

…and so the psychological playoff continues.

By responding question with question, accusations with accusations, hate with hate will one fine day turn into responding violence with violence and not only we lost a unique opportunity to unite People and the Government but we are helping the Opposition Parties in making their jobs a lot easier.

We all do realize that we are doing our best to help make things better but at the same time the stubbornness within us or rather within them (the Government), the Prime Minister or several of his Cabinet Ministers is helping to strengthen a culture of war rather than peace, revenge rather than forgiveness, and isolation between Rakyat and the Leaders rather than collaboration.

It wouldn’t be fair for anybody to say that someone somewhere is trying to topple YAB Datuk Seri Najib, instead I guess it was only the matter of competitiveness that is demanding flexibility and therefore the choice in the openness of the Government in handling conflicts. If the Government is able to weigh the conflicts against the concerns of the Rakyat today, I so much believe most conflicts would be more intelligently handled.

Every Country has rivals residing in the same Country and that doesn’t spare us. Whatever we see or hear today are solely self-inflicted issues and everyone is concerned about it and they (the Government) have got to listen when experts tell them what the problems are, but the Ministers just try to brush us away didn’t they…?

By way of the aggressive statements and unilateral actions, we have intentionally or unintentionally deprecated the importance and prestige of peace-making, conflicts and resolutions and especially public dialogues, thereby contributing to future conflicts, making them more serious and constricting opportunities for settlement and resolution, especially when the Rakyat is craving for truth compressed with their sense of excitement about the future. Changing Parties would be suicidal; alterations may be a very complicated idea and this is why we require improved understanding, not only of the conflict in Politics, but the Politics in conflict.

The famous philosopher Lao Tzu once said;

“When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost, right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears, expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth…it is the beginning of disorder”. And I couldn’t agree more.

The Prime Minister did say “implement GST or face bankruptcy”…wasn’t Tun Dr. Mahathir right to advise him to step down…?

UMNO were and is still recovering from past injuries created from within the Party and since decades (not forgetting from those of the Opposition Parties’) with regards to several Political scandals here and there, but the wounds listed today are so immense, therefore the main overriding purpose to get the Prime Minister to step down would be - not to win the battle, not to take away peace, but to secure the Country’s future by implementing a more decisive plan by way of placing a new Leader and this is being intensified by the very solutions required to resolve the economic problems to come.

And the reality we have to again face today is that the Rakyat among those supporters of UMNO are heading into two (2) or maybe three (3) separate ways now; whereas Leaders of UMNO themselves are beginning to divide themselves into four (4) or five (5) separate ways now; and then we have the UMNO in States and Divisions in the whole of Malaysia seemingly forming their own in maybe six (6) or seven (7) groups stating their own motto and supports for whom they prefer to agree with i.e. YAB Datuk Seri Najib or Tun Dr. Mahathir for that matter. So, have you done your calculation on the number of internal fractures mentioned above? If you have, then try adding twelve (12) other Components and thirteen (13) other Affiliates of Barisan Nasional and your mind will sensibly give you the result picturing what’s going to happen next. The dismembered figures are huge and scary and this number will continue to increase until otherwise proven that all issues presently mocked be successfully clarified.

And in the midst of all this and while sincerity is still being the biggest question, we’re added with an additional surprise. There’s this one Politician who is in the midst of learning to adapt a new system called “the threatening game” and one among many threats was the word AUTONOMY. It was indeed the worst threatening message of the Century and coming from the Chief Minister of Sarawak made it even more challenging. Adenan Satem seeking such a freedom made it sound like PBB being the rebels or the Federal Government being hopeless.

Independence or freedom;

Self Government or the right of self-Government;

Self governing Country or Region;

Self governing community;

Freedom from external control or influence;

Independence in ruling…this is AUTONOMY.

Such an unprecedented request popped after three (3) decades by this biggest majority supporting Barisan Nasional had somehow geographically shaped our minds into uncertainty with regards to the future of Barisan Nasional…psychologically we were truly dumbfounded. And because of this sensibility, the frames of minds became more of emotional rather than of practical. The Autonomy demand by PBB was simply so extra dimensional that it’s making us worry of the aftermath as well as while dealing with the present crisis, and in the midst of all these challenges, we should start planning for the future, the discomfort zones we have to face and to overcome before we reach the beginning of GE14…now this would be a chaos in the making and the word democracy is giving all of us a second thought…I mean why not…we are talking about the majority stake holder in Barisan Nasional especially when it comes to General Elections.

It’s like a warning…we haven’t (as yet) had Sabah, Selangor, Penang and Kelantan demanding the same freedom. Self control with no Federal Government meddling was the word deliberately out of Adenan Satem’s mouth. Tun Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib bin Mahmud, the current Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sarawak, the fourth Chief Minister of Sarawak, ruled the state for more than two (2) decades making him the second longest serving member of the Malaysian Parliament after Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah had never once demanded for AUTONOMY, so the idea incorporating Adenan Satem’s demand for AUTONOMY is still being questioned.

Politics attracts the ambitious, power hungry and corrupt like a magnet. Even many good and decent statesmen with pure intentions all too frequently find power seductive. Suddenly after three (3) decades, you begin to realize that there were too much bureaucracy involved, this is something someone would definitely continue wondering. With regards to Sabah and Sarawak, you must first enable the Government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself…the question again was “why all of a sudden?”.

Its either we’re creating enemies from within or them looking forward to be the next Republic of Singapore; ask yourself this question – while Sabah, Kelantan, Penang and Selangor has UMNO, there’s still no UMNO in Sarawak…why…? Are they not accepting UMNO or are we just accepting them as they are?

It’s funny how Adenan Satem thinks…he condemns Tun Dr. Mahathir as the worst Prime Minister for twenty two (22) years yet he demanding for AUTONOMY makes YAB Datuk Seri Najib looks most horrible.

Well I guess the Fish do make the Monger smell even worst.

Atrocious Minister

"Life is hard, it's harder if you're stupid" - John Wayne.

"Saya tidak mahu PM saya turunkan dirinya kerana dia adalah PM tetapi Dr Mahathir hanyalah rakyat biasa” - 
NAZRI AZIZ.

Astro Awani |Kemas kini:Jun 13, 2015, (Diterbitkan: Jun 13, 2015 16:57 MYT)

Surprised…? This was what the Minister of Tourism Malaysia said… A direct humiliation to us as the Rakyat, degrading us as the "Common People"… Rakyat Biasa.

We are Rakyat Biasa…
The Prime Minister of Malaysia and his Wife is also Rakyat Biasa…
The Cabinet Ministers in all Political Parties in Malaysia are also Rakyat Biasa…
Malaysia is a Monarchy Constitution based Country, and that makes every one of us Malaysians as Rakyat Biasa.

If at all Nazri Aziz is referring to YAB Datuk Seri Najib as the Member of the Royal Family, this dim-witted Tourism Minister needs to remind himself that The Prime Minister may be among the bloodline of the Royalties but is not among the Palace Kinsman, not among those Rulers of the Country in which the Monarch lies and in which the Kings and Queens are ruling today. There are thousands of Malaysians out there who are of Royal blood lines but not among those Palace Kinsman as mentioned above.

The Prime Minister was appointed by us the Rakyat Biasa to help run the Country, and that does not make him to be placed on higher Dignity comparing to us the Rakyat Biasa. Dignity is Dignity and our Dignity as Rakyat Biasa is not lower than those of the Prime Ministers’ or the Politicians in the Country. 

The salary pocketed by the Prime Minister and of the Politicians; be it from any Political Party in the Country including of those cashed by Nazri Aziz to buy his lunch every day is paid by us...the Rakyat Biasa.

Tun Dr. Mahathir was the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia and for twenty two (22) long years; making him the most significant and the most successful Leader in the history of the Country. So imagine this…when Nazri Aziz had the nerve to humiliate Tun Dr. Mahathir as Rakyat Biasa; imagine what would this ill-mannered Minister think of us as Rakyat Biasa. He wasn’t only relegating us, but he was also directly relegating our Mothers, Fathers and Families and this is totally humiliating and unacceptable. 

If anyone says Nazri Aziz is a good Man, I beg to differ. Nazri Aziz is the most impolite, discourteous, and bad-mannered person I have ever seen in the history of Malaysian Politics.

If YAB Datuk Seri Najib wishes to continue his tenure as the Prime Minister of the Country by way of gaining support from Rakyat Biasa presently and in future during the upcoming General Elections, I hereby strongly and openly advise YAB Datuk Seri Najib to sack this immodest Minister off and of all appointed posts.

LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN......

Be the Leader you are and take immediate actions to prove your undivided Leadership to the Rakyat.

My name is Sharifah Zohra Jabeen. I am the 5th Generation to my Family in Malaysia. I am among Rakyat Biasa making me the legitimate Voter in the Country... and I approve this message.

Fatal Attractions

“A Nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly, but the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of Government itself” - Marcus Tullius Cicero

Some would understand instantly, yet some took awhile to do so, unfortunately some still do not wish to understand or told not to, but logically speaking, what is happening today is a major disappointment, and the present Political crackdown in our own Country would be the best example…deteriorating disagreements within the Pakatan Rakyat coalition and Barisan Nasional today under the Leadership of YAB Datuk Seri Najib.

Speaking of good governance, failure will only take place when poor management takes flight. It all started from a tiny fracture in 1MDB…the opening of the surface began to whiff and like disintegrating body parts, it’s an epidemic hitting the Nation. Today and every other day, physically we see and hear the mutterings and rumblings of issues invigorated with regards to 1MDB. Daily, this infamous Government Body is being hit, but the one encouraging thing is that the “mad moment” has not yet arrived for the firing of guns, exploding of the bombs or a colossal street demonstration which will set civilization about the final task of destroying itself…thank God that’s not happening…well at least for now until the fully Audited reports are finally exposed.

There is still hope for a “logical closure” if we finally decide that no longer can we safely blind our eyes and close our ears to those facts which are shaping up more and more clearly, and that is that we are now engaged in a show-down fight, not the usual war between Nations for land areas or other material gains, but a war between two diametrically opposed ideologies and principals. Unless we face this fact, we shall pay the price that must be paid by those who wait too long.

Ever since the perk of 1MDB was a perk no more, several among the Barisan Nasional Leaders and NGOs were seen stepping forward and daily showing support to the Prime Minister. Their intentions are good (I guess), so congratulations to that but here’s the thing…in order to protect the Premier they worship (while not knowing the actual story behind the mess in 1MDB) they simply cannot stop giving and making unintelligent statements condemning Tun Dr. Mahathir and its pitch forking the ears of the listeners by the minute.

Hundreds of examples are available in store but a short throwback to “Nothing to Hide” Dialog with the Prime Minister on June 5th was the simplest example to point out. On one hand, the sudden stop to the Dialog was the safest move to avoid unwanted actions and reactions by respective supporters at the scene, but on the other hand too the reasons were quite hazy. Unethical act by some supporters witnessed during the event was clear but listening to what TV3 reported the same evening via Bulletin TV3 was totally conflicting and this was what they reported:

1) Organizer did not extend invitation to Tun Dr. Mahathir; therefore the former Prime Minister wasn’t supposed to attend the Dialog;

2) Realizing negative attendance of YAB Datuk Seri Najib, Tun Dr. Mahathir did not take the seat prepared for him by the Organizer but chose to sit on another chair;

3) Organizer clearly making a statement that there were no invitations extended to Tun Dr. Mahathir whatsoever;

4) The Master of Ceremony had no choice but to allow Tun Dr. Mahathir to speak on center stage following the majority voice in the hall strongly urging him to.

All four (4) confusing facts. TV3 should be more aware of what they're reporting because everyone’s listening.

And the most comedic part in between was the tweet by ex-PKR strongman Lokman Nor Adam seen photographing himself while pointing at the chair with Tun Dr. Mahathir’s name on it.

So here we have, a fanatic Media partner blindly supporting the Prime Minister, an Organizer who refuses to admit invitation to Tun Dr. Mahathir but had his name clearly written on a chair and an ex-PKR who shared the same cell with Tian Chua sighting the obvious. So, was Tun Dr. Mahathir really not invited, or is someone trying to be an idiot somewhere...?

With regards to the same incident, the comments made by Tunku Abdul Aziz is hereby referred as brainless when he had boldly indicated that Tun Dr. Mahathir taking center stage at the scene was an act of a degenerating behavior into a Street Fighter and not of a National Leader. And why are we not surprised with such a statement…coming from an ex-DAP, the audacity was crystal clear.

Daily we see and hear fanatics profusely attacking Tun Dr. Mahathir but there seem to be no sign of him backing off. This wise Old Man is never taking a step behind until he sets the Nation free…free from lies and deception, and free of scams and fraud misusing the funds belonging to the Country he help built for twenty two (22) years.

A logical, non-guilty yet composed mind would spell “Prepare the reports and show the People, questioned will be answered and problems will be solved”, so what’s the fuss all about then? There is no need to be afraid of Tun Dr. Mahathir; shivering over his enquiries on 1MDB alone would be sufficient. Discomposure among them were physical but not to anyone’s surprise when everything begin to crumble characteristically among the Leaders of UMNO and Barisan Nasional as they continue to present us with daily defensive cause of actions and attacks thrown back to the ex-Prime Minister immediately after he popped the question. 

The Country is already filthy with unintelligent Politicians setting forward incompetency and therefore individually, be it from the Opposition Party or the ruling Party for that matter. We have one too many Smart Alecs like Rafizi Ramli plus several other nonsensical statement makers like Salleh Said Keruak. The Country needs Leaders equipped with brains, not Soldiers equipped with defensive armors but eatable bullets.

Regret to note that UMNO and Barisan Nasional often fall for Traitors and in which are the living legends under their noses today. Thanks to UMNO and Barisan Nasional, these defectors today are being well treated, well paid, well positioned and well benefited from the funds of the Party and Country they once and twice betrayed. We often speak of traitors in the making but at the same time we forget to note the conspirators alive from within.

The first in the list would be Tunku Abdul Aziz, the ex-National Vice Chairman of the Democratic Action Party (DAP). He tendered in 2012 citing certain and unclear irreconcilable differences between the Party and him.

Points to be noted:

1) He chose DAP and not UMNO (for him being a Malay National and the distant member of a Royal family himself);

2) Today, after tendering from DAP, he came forward showing support for Barisan Nasional but by not officially joining either one of its components which includes UMNO;

3) Prefers to stay independent to date;

If this ex-DAP Vice Chairman would’ve been sincere enough to support Barisan Nasional, he could’ve joined UMNO (at least) the day he tendered from DAP. Him refusing to do so after three (3) years now, proves nothing more than him having no confidence in the present ruling Party what more in UMNO. Sources said he held on to the idiom “it’s either the Devil or the Deep Blue Sea”. Whether this would be an embarrassing fact or otherwise, only you can decide. But fortunately for him today, he’s lifted sky high. We were blind enough to remain him as the Member of Dewan Negara which is the upper house of Parliament today.

This ex-DAP Vice Chairman may have served as the Special Adviser to Kofi Annan in the United Nations, and he may have had himself largely involved in Anti-Corruption Movements around the World and I so much believe this was where he picked his English accent from, but quoting Tun Dr. Mahathir as a Street Fighter and not as the Leader of the Nation had instantaneously made some of us to speculate his short term twelve (12) months service to Kofi Annan.

Well, traitors are everywhere I would say; let me name a few to refresh our minds. Second on the choice list would be Ezam Md Nor.

Points to be noted:

1) He was the Ketua Pemuda UMNO PJ for four (4) years;

2) He was the State Secretary of Selangor for three (3) years;

3) He was the Naib Ketua UMNO PJ Selatan for three (3) years;

4) He was the Political Secretary to Anwar Ibrahim during office;

5) When Anwar Ibrahim was sacked in 1998, he tail gated and constructed street demonstrations objecting the dismissal of the immoral ex-Deputy Prime Minister;

6) Left UMNO for PKR in 1998;

7) Became the Leader of Angkatan Muda PKR (AMK) for seven (7) years;

8) He was sentenced to a two (2) years jail term due to his acts of fanaticism for the sake of Anwar Ibrahim and family;

9) Suddenly on May 28 2008 and after eleven (11) long years with PKR, he appealed for membership in UMNO and Pak Lah approved it with RM100 joining fee. 

He served UMNO for six (6) years but left the Party to support Anwar Ibrahim. He then came back begging to be accepted into UMNO after eleven (11) long years serving PKR. And ironically today, we made him the Timbalan Ketua Bahagian UMNO Kota Raja Selangor (within the Opposition’s den where he was before); we made him a Senator and we were kind enough to appoint him as the Director of Communication in the Finance Ministry.

Oh…did I tell you he write books on the Islamic Laws on Corruption? We give traitors benefit of the doubt and a second chance to prove loyalty but we tarnish the reputation of the Country’s 4th Prime Minister over his sacrifice and efforts building the Country for twenty two (22) years simply over questions he threw with regards to the misusing of funds by 1MDB. I shall leave it to you to evaluate.

This person on the list will never be forgotten, Zulkifli Noordin. They call him the Racist’s Sheppard.

Points to be noted:

1) Begin his political career with PAS;

2) After twelve (12) long years, he left the Islamic Party for a more People’s Justice Party (PKR);

3) Got himself in too many trouble and was dismissed only after two (2) years by the Party he left PAS for;

4) Independent since 2010 to date;

Since 2010 to date, he is still not an official member of UMNO. 12 years (PAS), 2 years (PKR) and presently 5 years (Independent) = 19 years wasn’t enough for this ex-PAS PKR Individual to understand or accept UMNO. Again, and whether this is a total humiliation to UMNO or otherwise…you decide. If wearing a Barisan Nasional uniform still makes him Independent to date, who do we blame? Trust me, if anyone would’ve asked him why not join UMNO, the answer would be a definite something you wouldn’t want to hear. 

Besides these Individuals (3 of many other), you wouldn’t want to know about Nallakrupan…trust me you don’t.

These individual named above did not come back to support UMNO or Barisan Nasional because they want to, but they came back after they’ve been betrayed or being disbelieved or sacked by their respective Parties. Traitors put Politics before them as shields and we were sightless to speak in praise of betrayers.

Besides making the biggest mistake appointing bad behavioral Individual into the Ruling Party or welcoming them into the Political arena per say, we still have the wife to the scandalous NFC’s Executive Chairman, who was then the Minister and was then the Senator and today remains as the National Wanita UMNO Chief, including a new post as the Special Adviser to the Prime Minister with regards to Women Affairs…and we thought there’s already a Minister running the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Family and Community Development in the Country…?

Supporting and voting for these categorical Women to lead the Women’s Political World in the Country somehow proves that the majority Women in UMNO agrees on opened acts of misappropriation of powers, easily forgiving and therefore allowing the past or present bad reputations to swiftly pass by them, or probably unable to shun away from stern instructions to do so. The Women of UMNO are Majestic and far better than this and I believe they can do better in making good choices in future. 

What makes a speech memorable are those of meaningful to you. This is where what Tun Dr. Mahathir said can never be forgotten. And if we truly understand what he meant, we will not be rebellions.

“The people should read more in order to see more…lihatlah dari mata burung bukan dari dalam tempurung”.

And I would say...“While we still have people who believes in Law but interprets wrongdoing from a Political point of view, sentencing anyone over his or her guilt would be an offense”.

After everything that's been said and done, which one smells the worst...? the Monger or the Fish? I am Sharifah Zohra Jabeen and I approve this message.

"Puan Rozita is a Doctor; 
Puan Rozana is a Lawyer and
Puan Rosiah is just a Housewife.
Spot the difference? Why?

I don't know about other Countries, but in Malaysia “downgrading” had become so common that nobody bothers to rationalize the reason” – Aminah Pawan.

As my very best friend popped this question, the word “Attitude” instantaneously drove through my mind. 

I’d label such a question as Controversial yet Intelligent.

I mean why not, Women today refuse to even touch, what more reply to such a question, simply because it sounded insensitive or just as an irrelevant subject matter. Women today have the ability to climb as high as they want, to hold any position in the Country even as Political Leaders for instance, but they have to understand that their importance in any Industry is all time limited. Limited in sense of ideology compared to Men when it comes to decision making, competency  and dependability.

Now bare this in your mind, having said that Women are usually and often discriminated, in our own Country, we have Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah, The First Malay Woman Doctor in then Malaya, followed by Tan Sri Dato’ Seri (Justice) Norma Yaakub, the first Woman High Court Judge in then Malaya, not forgetting Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz the First Woman Governor of Federal Bank Malaysia.

And then we have the First Woman Producer in Malaysia Datuk Maria Menado and although the name Dato' Rassamah Naomi Navarednam Bhupalan does not ring a bell, but she was one of the earliest Women involved in the fight for then Malaya Independence.

Speaking on Extraterrestrial Divisions, Malaysia did give birth to its first Woman Astrophysicist appointed as the Director of the Vienna based United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and this was an appointment by the Honorable Secretary General of the United Nations Kofi Annan. She was then re-appointed by Ban Ki Moon for the same portfolio and later appointed by the United Nations as the Ambassador of Extraterrestrial Contact and the person I'm talking about is none other than Professor Datuk Dr. Mazlan Othman.

Malaysia’s name bloomed across the sea when Datuk Seri Michelle Yeoh was announced as the Most Wanted Malaysian Born – Hong Kong movie based Actress of the Century. Last but not least, the young and beautiful Datuk Nicol David, the first Malaysian Female / Youth who ranked the World’s number one Squash Player simultaneously made her the First Female / Youth in Asia who achieved the title of the World’s number one Squash Player also making her the United Nations (UNDP) Goodwill Ambassador.

The above achievements proves that the Women are not penalized in Malaysia (not doubting that there are but in very minimal percentage), they’re still given freedom of speeches and thereto have, are and still managing to secure equal careers compared to Men. So gender equality isn't an area the Women of Malaysia should look into. What they need to further look into is improvisation of knowledge of the past, present and the future and once they understand this reality, they will come to understand the situation they’re in clearly, therefore they can voice their thoughts of what needs to be improved or maintained for the sake of their present and future well being. At the end of the day, it all boils down to the choices they make in upholding their rights.

It is also the menace they carry that will bring them up or down to their levels, and as you navigate through the rest of your life, be it in an opened collaboration, you will find that other people’s ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.

Behind every success story are the people who helped to make it happen, and this isn't necessarily exclusive to the people connected personally to your life. There are countless individuals in the public eye who, through their actions, serve as inspirations. Be in eyes of those Actors, Authors, Innovators or even Business Leaders, these people exemplify success in every aspect of their lives, not simply their achievements. In many instances, influencers and inspirers share their words of wisdom in the hopes of motivating others to pursue greatness. So why condemn, or even belittle and downgrade others especially of your kind…your own gender…what’s the need to make yourself penalized by others…for the Woman you are and the Woman others can be…for the beauty that grew within you cannot be compared to another.

The Women around the World should seek togetherness to prove to our future generation that they are the legitimate protectors and this can only be done by way of putting aside all sort of downgrading and personal comparisons with regards to statuses in life.

On average, the roles of Women are often abused psychologically. Such an inappropriate behavior has to be immediately stopped, as directly or indirectly these groups of people suffered and usually made victims of such an inhuman psychological tendency. It is the sole responsibility to help ensure that the communities today realize the importance to uphold and protect themselves from such social illnesses and their roles to help protect Women from further being parcels of any such offence.

Women and especially among Asians, are more aware and sensitive in making choices or decision, and when they understand a situation, they are better able to overcome negative elements that might harm their loved ones, or the Country. Regretfully, the stronger they get, the more emotional they tend to become and this is something they themselves should seriously look into. Average emotion could lead you to mutual agreement or disagreement, but over doing emotions may cause eternal fracture.

The habits of downgrading Women will be a very normal thing as long as we have the three (3) categories of Women in the World. The first category would be the first class working Women such as Political Leaders, CEOs or Founders. The second category would be the middle working class Women such as Executives, Secretaries, Clerks and even Factory Operators, which brings the good Housewives to be listed as the third category.

It's not difficult to understand that each of them thinks differently; adapts to things in different ways and do things in a different manner, therefore, approaches to these three (3) categories has to be precise, as each and every category are attached to their own domestic rules and regulations and in which respectively practiced among their families and friends. So why do one have to talk about the benefits of failure of another person when their ways of life are totally different from one another?

“It is time for Women to stop being Politely Angry” says Leymah Gbowee as she fought for Women’s rights around the World especially of her own root and the non-stop fight gained her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011.

“Judge me by what’s in my head, not of what’s on my head” says Tawakkol Karman, another recipient of the same in 2011, for she bears witness in upholding her rights religiously and therefore to put a stop to those belittling Muslim Women with Head Covers.

Both Nobel Peace Prize Winners had only one thing in common and one thing in difference; (1) A Muslim and a Non-Muslim; (2) A Hijabist portraying her Religious rights and a non-Hijabist but wears head covers to portray the dignity of her roots. Ask yourself, would you condemn these two Nobel Winners over their contributions? And when you give the answer to yourself, that would be the flicker to your pride and an answer to your own personality.

From my personal point of view, I would say that “The biggest rival to a Woman is another Woman” and this would be my best answer to the question. Freedom of speech is great but not when you’re using it against someone you dislike simply over her well being, status or income showing better off compared to yours; or against Women whom are confident in their lives with whatever little things they have.

“When fake people stop talking to you, they start talking about you and they have an image to maintain…real people just don’t give a damn”. 

So remember this…

When someone adores you, smile.

When someone respects you, get the feel of being honored.

When someone is concerned about you, try to feel the privilege.

When someone insults you, awake the strength that lies within you.

When someone hates you, realize your incomparable worth…

...coz' it breaks them when they can’t break you.

Premiership

Start somewhere will lead to another…many agreed…so to say.

Agree or disagree, but it all started from the questions popped by the Country’s 4^th Prime Minister over the peculiar management style imposed by a wholly owned Government body, 1 Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

Unfortunately the first question actually arrived in a set of other questions including the infamous murder of a Mongolian Woman.

Some may think it’s a murder of the Century, sorry...but not for me. There are thousands of Women out there and daily being raped, abused, tortured, even charred and dismembered, shot a gunpoint simply over sore relationships, hidden affairs, jealousy and even robbery. These Women too were humans; and the only difference between them was that the mysteriously bomb blasted one was categorized as high profile murder case, whereby the others mentioned above were just among the normal day to day Housewife, someone’s Daughter or Granddaughter or even somebody's Mother for God sake...sounds cynical right...yes, I am being one. Face this fact, the Political world today are not paying serious attention to curb Blatant Abuse against Women and Children, they're seemingly more keen to steer clear high profile cases among the Rich and Famous.

However, the concerns were clear, why, how and what caused it. I am not at all interested to touch on any Mongolian Woman dead or alive; and as one leads to another, things became more and more confusing. For Tun Dr. Mahathir, it wasn't the issue of who was murdered; but it was about the two (2) Policemen who was charged, found guilty and soon facing the gallows. His concern were clear…"who gave the instructions?", and it does matter.

Although the questions thrown by Tun Dr. Mahathir was direct with no intention to degrade the Prime Minister's credibility and the Party’s for that matter, it’s purely normal for advantage seekers to pair such tensed situation into a total nightmare in order to strengthen accusations by inducing conspiracy theories, in addition to humiliate YAB Datuk Seri Najib and the Party. Regretfully, all other criticizers and sadly including those among BN supporters too were accused of being harsh against the Prime Minister, harassing the Party’s integrity and acting as if they're representing the Oppositions. I seriously do not think such accusations are necessary. The People do not need PKR, DAP or PAS or even Tun Dr. Mahathir to convince them into believing any indication by anyone in order to prove YAB Datuk Seri Najib wrong, vice versa.

This reminds me of the long forgotten financial scam with regards to NFC, but today and clearly, YB Datuk Seri Shahrizat is still the Leader of Wanita UMNO (National) and was also appointed as an Adviser among other Advisers to the Prime Minister. The scam didn't even betray her seat. Ironic right…? So, accusing others as if they've entered the Opposition’s Ark would be nuisance don't you think?

Would it be wrong for someone to ask questions when he or she begin to realize that something somewhere is extremely wrong and this time involving a hefty amount of money recognized as “the debt” by a wholly owned Government body. Overwhelming won’t you think?

It is clearly important for all parties to public debate in this area to understand the relevance of such a Government body and to elaborate its financial definitions over the sum borrowed and dispensed. This would be the most suitable approach for the People involved in 1MDB, from and to the People (Rakyat), to make comprehend on such a situation.

In view of the fact that 1MDB is suffering from immense debts, had directly caused high level of suspicions attacking the Chairman and its Board of Directors. Many are dumbfounded as along the way, the Individuals involved directly and/or indirectly with 1MDB are seen to be reacting insensitively towards handling the issue, having said that the issue is presently being heavily criticized. People had expressed serious doubts as to the correctness of the money expensed, especially when it comes to a simple calculation such as its Pre-operational costs.

The one that’s causing the stir wasn't Tun Dr. Mahathir, the Oppositions or the criticizers in general, instead it was 1MDB itself that’s causing the non-stop attack. Hefty debts are at times understandable, but when it involves humongous amount of money moreover involving a wholly owned Government body, this had caused almost everyone in the Country shocked. A small opening to the window would be sufficient enough to make the People see things on their own; thoroughly investigate the root cause and thereafter judge.

Yes, YAB Datuk Seri Najib did in a way tried to explain with good intentions; I suppose as to put forward a reply in which from his personal point of view would be the most eloquent reply to the People. Regretfully his explanations were inadequate and  the People are left in greater doubts. Hating the Prime Minister would be foolish, but it is absolutely critical to get a clearer completion…and quickly.

Blaming the person who started the first question means you’re portraying incompetency over your own Leadership. Tun Dr. Mahathir will be Tun Dr. Mahathir, and he will not change his principals, was never interested to please anyone nor will he hide anything on behalf of anyone. And those who continue to condemn Tun Dr. Mahathir over his actions should by now realize that it is the statements made by some Ministers and/or those in support of the Party and/or in support of the Prime Minister, are actually the ones making the situations even more baffling.

Truth can never lie, only manipulated…deeply disappointed with issues presently surrounding the Country especially of 1MDB, Tun Dr. Mahathir did indicate how much he wished he is still the Prime Minister of the Country, and it was even to a greater surprise when such a statement was also being manipulated. Listen carefully to what Tun Dr. Mahathir said in all of his speeches and try to understand the logic exposed therein before jumping onto conclusions.

Yes, Tun Dr. Mahathir tendered without anyone asking or telling him to (after a long and successful 22 years placing Malaysia onto the World’s Map), because he knew the time has come for him to hand over his seat to another person. Motto verbally appended therein his resignation was – resign before you’re told to…let go before it’s snatched away from you, leave while they still love you and not stay to be dumped by those who hates you. 

Besides being registered as "Ahli Biasa" (normal Member) of UMNO, Tun Dr. Mahathir presently holds no Political position. Trust me; he would not be interested to run this Country for the 2nd time and what more at this age. He worries of the future and financial standing of the Country and of the People and this is purely understandable…he helped built the Country remember?

If Tun Dr. Mahathir would've hated the Party, he wouldn't have expressed his concerns in the first place. And thanks to him that many begun to understand and realize that there is actually a huge problem involving 1MDB, and why not?…the figure exposed therein could not even fit a calculator. Incorporated with only RM1 Million p.u.c ends up over RM40 Billion in debts. Why and how means a lot the People right now.

So please try and make us understand the actual situation instead of making accusations that such an issue was actually a planned attack by Tun Dr. Mahathir, the Oppositions and/or the People in general and among those BN supporters as well. BN should consider major improvement and pull themselves out of such a traditional mindset. Damage Control would be key element right now.

And just for the thought of the day, do not compose illogical statements such as blaming others should BN hit a downfall and/or lose votes in the upcoming GE. We are portraying our own weakness if we continue working in such a mentality. We lost several States in the past GE and it wasn't caused by Tun Dr. Mahathir, it was due to the negligence of the Party itself. Therefore, I wish to ask this question to my own Party – “who’s next on the list to be blamed over 1MBD?”.

Nalla Karuppan has to stop indicating that “...politically speaking, the Malays will lose..." should the problems between Tun Dr. Mahathir and YAB Datuk Seri Najib continues to be unsolved. Surprisingly, such an over confident statement and so called semi-racist gesture did not attract anyone’s attention, and it’s simply startling to note that no one attacked him, nobody asked him to explain or define the statement, and worst of all no one bothered. Is he among the favorite ones in BN? The statement he made was so annoying that it sounded as if the Non-Malays have nothing to lose and far more advanced compared to the Malays, and what was his motives again?

And then we have Salleh Keruak appearing almost every day, now and then, repeatedly attacking and blaming Tun Dr. Mahathir in almost all aspects. Salleh was an ex Chief Minister and by him implementing the "blaming strategy" will only make him look like nothing more than a crying child getting hit by the blame game.

And last but not least, Tokpa surprising all of us with the "tradition" he believes in. These are few among many whom have had themselves laughed at every time they speak on behalf of the Prime Minister. The credibility of office is hereby questioned.

At the same time, being defensive by questioning over the assets, sturdy financial background and belongings of Tun Dr. Mahathir’s and of his sons (making it as a reply to his questions and actions with regards to 1MDB) would be a very wrong idea. Do not let the People to begin questioning over your own bulging pockets. So think logic not sarcastic…as being sarcastic would make us the nuisance ones.
