MALAYSIAN BOXER BEATEN & SLASHED BY MEN IN BLACK– JEALOUSY &/or RACISM?

Perabagaran

The Star had a rather brief and toned down report, click HERE

A more detailed report can be read by clicking HERE

Extract:

Mr Perabagaran said the men, all dressed in black, gloated about the attack and asked him: 'With your condition like this, how are you going to go to the SEA Games, do you think there are no boxers in Kuala Lumpur who are better qualified than you?'

'I feel these people were jealous because I was selected for the SEA Games ... It was also sad that nobody from the National Sports Council came to visit me in the hospital,' he added.

It may well have been jealousy, I certainly hope there was no racial element in this despicable incident.

Questions also need to be asked why the Malaysian National Sports Council ignored Perabagan's plight.

This incident brings shame to sports and also to Malaysia.

I suppose it will just be swept under the carpet as is usually the case!

Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin

SEVEN SENSIBLE QUESTIONS ABOUT ARREST OF EX MUFTI DR. ASRI

Seven questions on the arrest of Asri

Letter from Dr Chandra Muzaffar dated 4^th Nov 2009, published on line by Malaysiakini HERE

"I refer to the Malaysiakini report Ex-Perlis mufti freed on bail: Jais feels the heat?

The arrest of former Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin raises disturbing questions.

One, isn't it unjust to arrest a person and take him to court while investigations on him are still on-going?

Two, doesn't this smack of arbitrariness and high-handedness, and doesn't it erode established judicial norms and the rule of law?

Three, wasn't the deployment of an extraordinarily large number of Jabatan Agama Islam Selangor (Jais) staff and police personnel a show of force which was tantamount to abuse of power?

Four, since Asri has been giving talks in Selangor and elsewhere for a while now, what was the reason for arresting him only at this point in time?

Five, was the arrest a well-orchestrated move by certain religious authorities, backed by some Muslim NGOs, to dissuade the federal government from going ahead with the appointment of Asri as the new head of a potentially influential Islamic 'dakwah' foundation, Yadim?

Six, if this was the motive, doesn't it show that there are religious institutions and groups in the country that are intolerant of views on Islam which are different from theirs, however humane and rational some of these views may be, and however well-grounded they are in the Qur'an?

Seven, isn't such intolerance a betrayal of the respect for differences of opinion, and for dissent, embodied in Quranic thought and in the practice of the Prophet?

It is important to ask these questions because Asri's crude and coarse treatment echoes the authoritarianism of certain groups in other parts of the Muslim world that has led to tension and conflict.

This is why any attempt by any group to monopolise religion and marginalise alternative voices should be checked immediately.

It was one of the causes of the closing of the Muslim mind in past centuries and was partly responsible for the decline of Islamic civilisation."

I put forward three more important questions:-

1. Are there hidden dark forces behind the arrest of Dr. Asri?
   
2. Is it Selangor UMBO and the federal BN / UMNO government who are the puppet masters of some folks in JAIS.
   
3. Is the UMNO ex MB Khir Toyo the covert instigator, the 'batu api'?

To me this smells like a component part of the insidious UMNO plot to overthrow the opposition state government of Selangor.

So the answers to the above three questions may be 'YES'!

Cui bono?



For whose benefit is it?

DUBAI, UAE TO APPOINT FEMALE MUFTIS

WHEN WILL THAT HAPPEN IN MALAYSIA I WONDER?

BASED ON THE RECENT EVENTS WHEN THE FORMER MUFTI OF PERLIS STATE [Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin] WAS DETAINED, THERE MAY BE VERY LITTLE PROGRESSIVE THOUGHT IN MALAYSIA, HOW SAD!
Read about it by clicking HERE

Gulf Arab Emirate of Dubai plans to appoint female muftis by the end of next year in an unprecedented step that could trigger opposition from some Muslim conservatives.

It sounds like a postive move to me.

A Child, her Dog & God

This is a narration about one of the kindest things a person could do, the thoughtfulness, compassion and kind heartedness of this unknown person is something to be treasured and followed by us all.

There is a beautiful selfless and compassionate, anonymous soul working in the dead letter office of the United States Postal Service, read the story below, which I received via email recently.

Meredith with her beloved Abbey

“Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.
She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her.
I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:”

“Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog?
She died yesterday and is with you in heaven.
I miss her very much.
I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim.
I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog.
I really miss her.
Love, Meredith”

“We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it.
Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven.
That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.
A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had. Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it.
Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies'. Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:”


“Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
Having the picture was a big help.
I recognized Abbey right away.
Abbey isn't sick any more.
Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart.
Abbey loved being your dog.
Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me.
What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.
I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.
By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.
Love, God”

MURDEROUS MALAYSIA , MANY MURDERS MANIFESTING MALE FIDE

Getting away with murder in Malaysia is not that uncommon, if you are well connected you can get actually away with cold blooded murder in Malaysia, read the article from Asia Sentinal by clicking HERE, then you will know what goes on in Malaysia.

It is utterly disgusting, so shameful, undoubtedly unjust and downright despicable, but if has happened, and no doubt will continue to happen, in Malaysia while the BN / UMNO government is in power with apparent impunity and immunity!

Male Fide means:

bad faith, noun: intentional dishonest act by not fulfilling legal or contractual obligations, misleading another, entering into an agreement without the intention or means to fulfill it, or violating basic standards of honesty in dealing with others. Most states recognize what is called "implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing" which is breached by acts of bad faith, for which a lawsuit may be brought (filed) for the breach (just as one might sue for breach of contract).

bad faith noun abjection, abjectness, abscondence, apostasy, artifice, base conduct, betrayal, betrayment, breach of faith, broken faith, broken promise, collaboration, complicity, connivance, cozenage, debasement, deceit, deceitfulness, deception, defalcation, defection, delusion, delusiveness, dereliction, dereliction of duty, deviation from rectitude, deviousness, disaffection, disavowal, dishonesty, dishonor, disingenuousness, disloyalty, disobedience, double-dealing, duplicity, fallaciousness, false pretension, false swearing, falseheartedness, falseness, forswearing, fraud, fraudulency, furtiveness, guile, hypocrisy, ignominy, improbity, indiscretion, infidelity, insidiousness, insincerity, inveracity, lack of conscience, lack of fidelity, lack of principle, lack of probity, mala fides, malversation, mendaciousness, mendacity, misfeasance, misrepresentation, obliquity, perfidiousness, perfidy, pettifoggery, pretense, pretext, punic faith, recantation, recreancy, reprobacy, sedition, spuriousness, subterfuge, subversion, subversive activity, suppression of truth, surreptitiousness, traitorousness, treacherousness, treachery, turpitude, unauthenticity, unconscientiousness, underhand dealing, unfairness, unfaith, unfaithfulness, unfaithworthiness, ungenuineness, unloyalty, unsteadfastness, untrueness, untrustiness, untruthfulness, unveraciousness, unveracity, venality, violation of allegiance, violation of duty

OF BAD FAITH: Perhaps a most apt expression for BN / UMNO?

Commodum ex iniuria sua nemo habere debet

No person ought to have advantage from his own wrong

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus

False in one thing, false in all

FOR SALE: 1Malaysia

Najib

SPECTATORS WERE EVIDENTLY PAID TO ATTEND THE LONG DELAYED LAUNCHING OF AN ALREADY SINKING SHIP NAMED 1MALAYSIA.

Democracy my arse!

image source

In order to ensure that Najib had a big attendance for his 1Malaysia launching road show in Ipoh, it appears that UMNO employed the often used "Rent-a-crowd' tactic, and provided buses to bus-in spectators who were given a monitory reward (bribe) to attend the road show and listen to Najib prattle and pontificate.

Najib Razak at long last launched his highly-publicised and still largely mysterious and undefined “1 Malaysia” concept before a crowd of at least 30,000 at the Perak Stadium in Ipoh on 18 October 2009.

However, according to some spectators, they had been bused-1n after collecting RM30 coupons, which they exchanged for cash upon arrival at the venue.

If this is not bribery and corruption I do not know what it is!
