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?

No person ought to have advantage from his own wrong

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!

VOTE FOR BN / UMNO, SUPPORT THE RICH & INFAMOUS

One Example of UMNO' Squandering the Peoples' Money.

RM1.9 million ringgit squandered by UMNO on luxurious overseas vacations pretending to be study visits (Cuti Lawatan Sambil Belajar)

AFTER a gruelling seven days, the public inquiry into possible misuse of funds by Wives of Selangor Elected Representatives Charity Organisation (BALKIS) ended yesterday, leaving those who attended reeling from the revelations.

For more than a week, details of money spent on exotic trips, overseas souvenir- shopping expeditions and gifts for guests attending glitzy functions, kept members of the Selangor State Assembly’s Select Committee on Competency, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) riveted as the figures continued to rise.

The inquiry is the first to be conducted by a State Legislative Assembly in the country. Other States are widely expected to follow suit following the conclusion of the Balkis inquiry.

Yesterday, PNSB chief executive officer Khairiyah Abu Hassan dropped a bombshell when she further revealed how much the State-owned conglomerate had forked out for former Selangor Menteri Khir Toyo and his family’s expenses during the overseas technical visits.

She also drew hoots of laughter when she explained the reasons for the trips.

1. Jakarta and Jogjakarta, Indonesia - 20-24 April 2003
Total cost: RM201,452

Khir Toyo, his wife, daughter and maid also went on the trip. The purpose was for delegates to study Indonesia ’s batik production, which was supposed to lead to the opening of a batik factory in Selangor.

Cost of airfare for Khir, his wife, daughter and maid: RM37,695
Miscellaneous costs incurred by the delegates RM34,404

Spent on two-day rental of a limousine/ Mercedes Benz in Jakarta : RM5,800
Paid for two-day rental of a limousine/ Mercedes Benz in Jogjakarta : RM5,000

2. Morocco and Paris : 17-24 Dec 2004
(inclusive of four-day transit in Dubai )
Total cost: RM900,000

The trip, attended by Khir, his wife, children and maid as well as PNSB delegates, was to study Islamic architecture, which could be adopted in Selangor.

The group, which had a reconnaissance trip beforehand, also visited Paris Disneyland to generate ideas for a theme park in Bagan Lalang, Sepang.

They bought tickets to enter the theme park and did not meet any Disneyland representatives.

Cost of the recce team trip: RM366,000

Cost of official trip: RM416,000
Airfare: RM366,000
Ground arrangements RM420,000
City travel: RM70,000
Other expenses RM43,000

3. Honolulu (Hawaii) & Orlando (Florida) - 23 Dec 2007 to 1 Jan 2008
Total cost: RM646,841
Additional cash taken: RM101,000

A technical study on the Bagan Lalang theme park was also the pivotal reason for the trip. The group, comprising Dr Khir, his family and PNSB delegates, bought tickets to DisneyWorld and again did not meet any Disneyland representatives.

A tour guide instead took them around. Cost of Khir’s luxury suite: RM110,000

Cost of six single superior rooms for the delegates: RM171,000
Cost of one twin-sharing room RM24,800

Khairiyah claimed that on the trips, Khir and his wife flew only first class.


The itinerary of the US trip also included visits to Miami Beach , island tours, dinner cruises and a Honolulu city tour.

Khir and his wife, supposed to have been key witnesses, failed to turn up for any of the inquiry proceedings.

Khir would be referred to the Committee of Privileges while Zaharah could be prosecuted under Section 5 of the Contempt of the House Act 2008. The inquiry’s findings will be presented at the next sitting of the Selangor State Assembly in July.

The Malaysian Anti- Corruption Commission is expected to investigate possible criminal breach of trust (CBT) once Selcat concludes its findings and police conclude their investigations.

11 Sept 2009 - Khir Toyo was called for questioning by MACC but he was let go after some greetings and minor questions. Why didn't they keep him overnight like Teoh Beng Hock and then see if he jumps to his death from Plaza Masalam?

Bagan Pinang by-election is tomorrow, on 11 October 2009.

If you love Barisan Nasional / UMNO, then vote for UMNO in Bagan Pinang.

They will also love you for giving up your hard-earned tax ringgit so that they can enjoy a luxurious elite lifestyle, travelling all over the world and living like kings without having to work for a single cent.

Be a good loyal patriotic Malaysian citizens - Vote BN in Bagan Pinang on 11 October 2009, if you want to give UMNO more money to line their own pockets and to squander!

Khir Toyo's palatial house, aerial view.

OR, IF YOU ARE A TRUE MALAYSIAN PATRIOT, VOTE FOR A BETTER AND BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ALL,

VOTE FOR PAS IN THE BAGANG PINANG BY- ELECTION TOMORROW, 11 OCTOBER 2009,

SAY 'NO' TO UMNO / BN!
