Nine Christians Reported Arrested in Malaysia

This chart is in interpretation and adaptation of material found in Adherents.com (http://adherents.com),
The percentiles of individual world religions add up to more than 100% because the numbers used are the
upper limits of estimates. Except for Judaism, only the most populous faith traditions are included. The
percentiles of denominations within religions add up to slightly less than 100% because small splinter
groups are not part of the chart.

AP reports:

“Malaysian police have arrested nine Christians accused of trying to convert Muslim university students - a serious crime punishable by prison in this Muslim-majority country, a lawyer said on Wednesday.

The suspects have denied the allegation, which could aggravate complaints by religious minorities that authorities are increasingly ignoring their rights in favour of Islam.

Proselytising of Muslims by members of other religions is forbidden in Malaysia, though the reverse is allowed. Muslims, who comprise nearly two-thirds of Malaysia's 28 million people, are also not legally permitted to change religion.

Police detained the nine in a hostel room at the Universiti Putra Malaysia near Kuala Lumpur late on Tuesday, said Annou Xavier, a lawyer who handles cases involving religion.”

This is the other side of the story:

“Four students from Hong Kong were hauled up for questioning by Selangor police for allegedly trespassing on Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) grounds. They were later released.”

You choose for yourself which tale to believe, however .in my opinion, the former is more believable. University campuses, even in Malaysia, are not well know for tight security and arrests for simple trespass almost unheard of!

Manek Urai: A Victory for PAS and the PKR

VOTER TURN OUT: 87.3 %

How the results unfolded.

At 19:55 [Malaysia time], on 14th July 2009,
UNOFFICIAL RESULTS REPORTED
PAS wins by 70 votes. However, a recount will doubtless be requested by BN / UMNO

Election Commission released the official results little by little. Why all the drama? One can but wonder, but it does seem rather an unusual way to announce the official results.

20:10 The tally so far: PAS 1,962. UMNO, 1,654. Total votes 3,616.

A PAS majority of 308.

20:21 Official results from Election Commission:

PAS, 4,090. UMNO 3,985. Total votes 8,075.

A PAS majority of 105.

20:24 Official results from Election Commission:

PAS 4,335. UMNO 4,299. Total votes 8,634

A PAS majority of 36.

The results from five ballot boxes yet to be released.

There were still 2,103 votes left to count at this time.

The complete unofficial results are:

PAS, 5,347. UMNO, 5,283.

PAS have a majority of 64 votes.

Total votes: 10,630

PAS seemingly won 14 out of 28 ballot boxes and four out of nine polling stations.

[Election Commission temporary stopped announcing the official results from the final five ballot boxes]

20:26 PAS candidate Mohd Fauzi Abdullah left the campaign headquarters for the main tally centre in Kuala Krai to claim victory.

20:35 Kelantan senior state cabinet member and former PAS vice-president Husam Musa arrived at the main tally centre in SMK Yahya Petra.

Then at 21:01 OFFICIAL RESULTS from the Election Commission -

PAS 5.348 votes.

UMNO 5,283 votes.

Total votes: 10,631

PAS WINS BY A MAJORITY OF 65 VOTES.

NTV7 host ‘reassigned’ after Najib gets a D rating

Image from Merdeka Review

Najib, is currently far away in Sharm El-Sheikh. Egypt, one wonders why he went early Tuesday?
Could he not wait to see BN / UMNO defeated in the Manek Urai by-election?

(The by-election results will be known soon, all things being equal, by 12:00 GMT (8pm in Malaysia), however the main stream media most likely will be slow in reporting the expected BN / UMNO defeat by about 2,000 votes)

See Malaysiakini for updates HERE

Extract from: Blog CK Chew

"All her guest did was to give premier Najib Abdul Razak a ‘C’ or ‘D’ rating for his first 100 days in office.

It was enough to see ntv7 talk-show host Florence Looi being issued a warning letter and an immediate transfer to the news desk of the private television station.

Looi, who hosts the popular ‘Point of View’ current affairs programme, was said to have ‘breached editorial policy’, according to ntv7 sources.

The two guests on the talk-show, aired on July 5, were author Syed Akhbar Ali and consulting editor Leslie Lau of news portal Malaysian Insider. It was the latter’s remarks that landed Looi in trouble.

The sources said she was verbally told that she should not have asked her guests to rate Najib’s performance. As Looi is the host-cum-producer of the programme, she was the only one who received the warning letter.

Looi, who is assistant assignment editor, has since been reassigned to cover news, ostensibly because of a shortage of human resources at the news desk."

BN / UMNO's Blatant Unmitigated Bribery:

The Education Ministry is providing free school uniforms and bags to 6,142 primary, secondary and religious school students in Manek Urai.

Kelantan UMNO liaison chief Mustapa Mohamed said he was informed of the aid allocation for the students by DPM and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin several days ago.

“This gesture by the ministry is to lighten the burden of the people here,” he told a news conference at the Manek Urai Barisan Nasional operations centre yesterday.

While 300 students received the free school uniforms and bags yesterday, Mustapa said the rest would be handed out in stages.

He had earlier presented the uniforms and bags to the pupils of Sekolah Kebangsaan Manek Urai Baru on behalf of Muhyiddin.

There are 10 primary and 12 secondary schools as well as an Arabic-medium school in the town.

Sunday 12^th July 2009

Muhyiddin's UMNO Blackmail Attempt Disguised or is it Blatant Unashamed Bribery again?

DPM Muhyiddin Yassin gave voters in Manek Urai a simple choice - either choose PAS or choose BN / UMNO and then get a new bridge for the Manek Urai State constituency.

Muhyiddin said:

“We can build it (the bridge), insya’allah, but there is a condition."
"It is easy - all you need to do is to ‘pangkah’ (vote), but you must vote for BN."

"If not, there would not be any new bridge."
"If you want the bridge, vote BN,”

Muhyiddin Yassin said Manek Urai will become a new development area in Kelantan , but only if the Barisan Nasional (BN) wins the constituency’s by election.

"If that (development) is what they want, we are ready to help but they must also be ready to help us," he told reporters after launching the Kelantan state Teachers’ Day celebration at the Manek Urai Baru National School.

More tax-payers' Money Down the Drain reinventing RELA

RELA

RELA training centres nationwide will, it has been reported, be upgraded to ensure members are better trained and able to play their role effectively to 'help maintain the nation's security'.

The RELA director general, Zaidon Asmuni, was reported as saying recently that present there were only four training centres nationwide and it was his target to establish one in each state in the near future.

He added RELA aimed to provide members with the best training available to ensure they were well prepared to carry out their duties and also able to take on new challenges.

Utter bullshit, pure and unadulterated.

Please enlighten everyone: What contribution does RELA actualy make to Malaysia's security in 2009?

What is RELA supposed to be?

Ikatan Relawan Rakyat Malaysia (RELA) was established on 11th January 1972 vide the (Essential Powers) Emergency Act 1964 – Essential Rules (Ikatan Relawan Rakyat) (Amendment) 2005.

RELA's establishment was supposedly formed to enable the masses to volunteer and be a member of a volunteer force to preserve and maintain the national peace and security.

Subsequently, under Section 2 of the (Essential Powers) Emergency Act 1964, the Yang Di Pertuan Agong (King) gave the consent to approve the Essential Rules (Amendment) 2005) (Ikatan Relawan Rakyat) with effect from 1st February 2005.

This rule gave certain powers to RELA to try to tackle Illegal Immigrants, but they have been condemned for their ineptness, incompetence and thuggishness.

Apart from that they currently seem to be more like political tools for Barisan Nasionals; effectively BN's eyes and ears, snooping on the populous and reporting back to their BN / UMNO political masters!

Disbanding RELA will surely benefit all except the BN / UMNO.

Let all right thinking Malaysians join hands to say good bye RELA, a relic of bye gone days.

RELA, you are unimportant, you have over stayed your welcome, and your usefulness; therefore please go, be gone, sayonara, bye-bye, cheerio, farewell, goodbye, so long, see yah, adios, adieu. arriverderci, au revior, auf wiedersehen, smell you later, ttfn, adyos, ciao, tata, twáme naw, farvel, hino koh noh, kopiruba kawagu, vaarwel, beoð ge gesunde. oant sjen, mi yahee, mus zoo, slán go fóill, sugeng tindak, doi noh ko noh, 'aere ra, paalom na po, güle güle gidin, hwyl fawr, zayt gesunt, sala kahle & hundreds more farewells from our planet Earth.

Manek Urai By Election: Candidates and Carrots

In 2009, UMNO (BN) will take on PAS in the Manek Urai by-election on 14^th July 2009.

Candidates from theses two political parties filed their papers when nominations closed at 10:00 on Monday, 6^th July 2009.

They were Mohd Fauzi Abdullah, [50], who is the PAS treasurer for Kuala Krai and Tuan Aziz Tuan Mat, [39] the Kuala Krai UMNO Youth chief (using a BN ticket), who will be going head to head against each other.

Meanwhile: Gifts to the children of the Manek Urai constituents in the form of 'aid assistance'!

Coincidence or Covertly Co-opting into Compliance?

You need to decide yourselves folks!

“The Education Ministry (i.e. the taxpayer) is providing free school uniforms and school bags to 6,142 primary, secondary and religious school students in the Manek Urai constituency.

The Kelantan State UMNO liaison chief Mustapa Mohamed said he had been informed of the 'aid allocation' for the students by Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin (and the MP for Pagoh, Johor, UMNO) some days ago.

“This gesture by the ministry is to lighten the burden of the people here,” he reportedly told a news conference at the Manek Urai BN operations centre on 5th July 2009.

'Aid allocation' my arse; pigs may fly!

'Bribery' is perhaps a more apt term, don't you think ?

UPDATE:

The PM when in Sibu, Sarawak, urged Malaysians to judge the Barisan Nasional government based on its actions.

Najib Razak said: "Please judge us by our actions, we are not going to play politics."

That is exactly what the people and this blogger are doing lah!

Part 2 The Gates of Hell Home at Kuala Kubu Baru

Where the Ray of Hope was extinguished

The Mindful Mariner's own comments:

This so called sheltered home (it is more like a Hell Hole) belongs to and is run by the Malaysian Government, through the Department of Social Welfare which is under the control of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development.

Disciplinary action needs to be taken from top to bottom, at both the Ministry & the Department; in fact the honourable thing initially, would be for the Minister (Sharizat Abdul Jalil) and the DG of the Social Welfare Department (Meme Zainal Rashid) to resign forthwith.

Then all types of care homes, shelters, orphanages and other similar institutions, public and private, should thoroughly checked and independently audited. After that they should all, without exception, be required to be operated to impeccable international standards of best practice.

Subsequently the Social Welfare Department should conduct regular frequent and comprehensive inspections of all shelters, care homes and orphanages for the disadvantaged in Malaysian society.

To ensure:

1. They are all fully equipped, sanitary and are run in a professional, caring, humane way.

2. That the are staffed by sufficient numbers of qualified, able, caring and dedicated staff.

3. That all the residents receive good quality, nutritional healthy food in sufficient quantities.

4. That all residents receive regular medical examinations and adequate health care.

And many other things, about which others are better qualified than me, need to be set out in full clearly mandating what has to be done.

PS But I am not too hopeful that effective sustained action will be taken.

There will be buckets of faux tears, sympathetic [or perhaps a better word is pathetic] remarks, much empty talking, but very little or more likely no effective action, as per usual!!!!

Commented on 05 July 2009 at 20:52

Reactions:

The statements by th Malaysian Bar Council:

Bar Council constitutional law committee chairman Edmund Bon said he was shocked to learn how the residents were being treated, describing it as “cruel and degrading”.

Statement by a human rights lawyer:

Amer Hamzah, human rights lawyer called on those responsible for the care of the residents to be charged with a criminal offence should there be any evidence of physical abuse resulting from the treatment.

See the news report HERE

Lots of reaction and a flurry of what is probably an attempt at 'clearing yardarms' and 'reactive damage control' from the government and their agencies:

Civil servants from the Social Welfare Department, the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, volunteers and hoards of media personnel descended upon the home on Sunday 5^th July 2009, after the wicked, cruel and degrading conditions there were exposed by the Star newspaper.

Minister of Health Liow Tiong Lai, reportedly ordered his staff to check on the residents of the home in Kuala Kubu Baru, and said he was wants those who are confirmed to have mental problems, to be transferred to government hospital psychiatric wards for treatment.

So much for all the empty talk from the Prime Minister and his ministers in the Federal Government about how caring Malaysia is.

More deception and distortion of the facts.

Do those responsible, directly and indirectly for this shelter home, have no shame, compassion, love or basic decency?

They should be punished for their crimes against the helpless disabled residents of this shelter home.

Sadly this situation is very likely to be the norm is the six other Welfare Department shelter homes in Malaysia and in some of the private ones too.

Three Months of Najib!

The PM & DPM ++ and rent-a-crowd, doing the 1Malaysia Shuffle!

After three months of Najib as PM, what has substantively changed for the better in Malaysia?

The short answer is absolutely nothing.

There have been a heaps of verbal diarrhoea, bags full of hot air, lots of funny hats and ridiculous costumes worn, even dodgy dance routines, but really and truly there seems to have been no substantive progress towards ending overt racism, ensuring equality for all citizens, respecting freedom of speech, freedom of information, freedom of expression and human rights.

Malaysia has been afflicted by many multifarious mishaps over the last three months, buildings and roads have collapsed, controversies have been seen to increase, diseases such as malaria, leptospirosis and meningitis have blossomed, the Internal Security Act 1960, Emergency Ordinance (Public Order and Crime Prevention) 1969, Sedition Act 1948, Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 and many other archaic and draconian laws are still on the statute book, the Police Act also remains unchanged.

Politics seems to be getting dirtier than usual; whilst UMNO / BN show no signs of reinventing themselves for the better.
However, with the main stream media seemingly more under the thumb than ever nowadays, things may actually be even worse than they are reported, who knows.

Now in 2009, almost at the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, people can still be locked up without any judicial process, effectively guilty without trial.
How utterly shameful in what is touted as being a democratic country!

Harry Lee has come and gone after his extra warm welcome (excepting Dr. M), extensive exploration of the just the peninsular part of Malaysia, and his resulting insolent critique.

The superstitious may be forgiven for even believing there is a national curse which seems to have started when Najib became PM on 3rd April 2009.

Now in the second half of 2009, will Malaysia progress, further decline or simply stagnate under the stewardship of Najib?

Let's wait and see!!

The people of Malaysia are a patient lot, but even patience has a limit!

Anwar Malek, the Algerian author, bravely speaks the truth, that is beyond doubt, but his opinion will probably not have been well received by some in Pan Arabia.

But, the truth always hurts the most!

In my opinion a lot of what Anwar Malek said holds true for Malaysia too, but of course many in Malaysia, such as the arrogant, the stubborn, the misguided, the unthinking, the selfish, the blinkered and the misinformed will have their head in the sand and / or be wearing the Emperor's New Clothes so they will not admit this fact!

UTM Student Dies Alone After Giving Birth on Campus

How Shameful for UTM and for Malaysia

UTM = Uncaring Temperamental Masquerading ?

A woman who was found dead and decomposing together with her new born baby boy with his umbilical card still intact in a room of a University Teknologi Malaysia's (UTM) Skudai, Johor Bahru, hostel was, according to UTM's corporate affairs department assistant registrar (media and external relations) Sabri Ahmad, a university drop out, Sabri reportedly stated that the 26-year old woman had failed her first semester examination in her fourth year in November 2008.

Oh, so all is well then, UTM washes hands and evades any responsibility!

"She had been renting a room at the dormitory since 11 May 2009, and was from the Science faculty," he said.

Evidently outsiders were allowed to rent rooms at the university on a case-by-case basis.

This is a very peculiar situation, is this really true? New students are even currently unable to get proper on-campus accommodation.

IT SOUNDS AND SMELLS LIKE UTM BULLSHIT TO ME

Meanwhile, the head of Johor Baru (North) police A C Ruslan Hassan was reported as saying that the police had taken the baby's DNA samples to locate the father and stated that the unmarried? woman, who was from Kelantan was believed to have died from excessive blood loss whilst in labour and giving birth.

Malaysia: Cultured, Genteel, Enlightened, Progressive, Tolerant, my arse!

According to reports in the Malaysian, government owned Main Stream Media (MSM) the police have implemented most of the 125 recommendations contained in the 2005 report by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police.

DIGP Ismail Omar steps have been taken to forge closer ties with the public through community policing and frequent meetings with residents.

"Both the state and district police chiefs have held regular meetings with residents' associations to hear their grouses and the problems they face," he reportedly said yesterday.

"These are part of measures to rebuild the public's confidence in the police force, besides encouraging them to cooperate with us and provide vital tip-offs."

What a laugh, anyway, believe it or not, be that as it may!

The MSM didn't report this:- (update: see below)

The police last night cordoned off a opposition political party's [DAP] fund-raising dinner held for some 3,000 people in Klang and confiscated the public address system, however later they allowed the dinner to continue at 8.15pm

Police with M16s were guarding area, Lim Kit Siang likened it to a war zone

There were 900 cops wasting their time there according to the belated report in the Star, see below.

Do the police have nothing better to do? Malaysia is very far from being crime free!!

In addition yet another recent case of apparent police brutality does not seem to have been reported in the Malaysia MSM, apart from a report HERE, either.

The police in Malaysia seem to have yet again behaved like gangsters and thugs, see video below, when a 20 year old student was allegedly beaten black and blue by the cops whist handcuffed in a police station.

Little did 20-year-old college student Koh Chon Weng suspect that a night out at a club with friends would pave the way for a horrendous experience which he will never ever be able to forget.

Koh Chon Weng, still bore the scars of his ordeal when interviewed on video, he claimed that he was arrested and beaten up by policemen for no apparent reason.

"I was handcuffed, punched and kicked for several minutes. And when I spat the blood which oozed out from my mouth on the floor, I was beaten again for this," recalled the soft-spoken accounting student during a press conference at the DAP office in Petaling Jaya.

Banned T Shirts

Meanwhile, dangerous T Shirts have been confiscated by the police in Malaysia.

The Ministry of Home Affairs apparently deemed the images [see below] to be obscene, subversive and likely to glorify communism.

You judge for yourself,

I think the slogans on the T shirts are quite amusing, and generally harmless.

I see this T shirt, which is quite appropriate in this context,

is not included in the banned T shirt list.
