No Atheists
In A Foxhole

Rudyard Kipling

" ā€œWhen you're left wounded on
Afganistan's plains and

the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle

and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldierā€
General Douglas MacArthur

" ā€œWe are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.ā€

ā€œIt is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.ā€
ā€œOld soldiers never die; they just fade away.
ā€œThe soldier, above all other people, prays for peace,
for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.ā€
ā€œMay God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .ā€
ā€œThe object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

ā€œNobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
ā€œIt is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

India fights Somali pirates, are other navies afraid?
Tuesday, March 19, 2024
Indian Navy has rescued the hijacked MV Ruen from Somali pirates following a 40-hour-long operation in the Arabian Sea. All 17 crew members of the ship have been evacuated, 35 Somali pirates have been taken into custody, and the Indian Navy has once again proved that it is the only reliable security provider in the Indian Ocean Region.

The Best Scenes from Top Gun 2: Maverick
That elite level where the sequel is actually better than the original. It may be decades before anyone pulls it off again, and even if they do, it will never be to the level of this movie.

The maturity and growth shown by Maverick in this film versus the first was what I found most heartwarming. Gone is the cockiness of youth, replaced by the self-confidence of experience. He learned his lessons, now itā€™s time to pass them on.

I love Hangman's reaction to the whole sequence when Maverick is proving the mission can be done. When it starts he's just smiling sitting back like "okay old man lets see it", and then when Mav's about to do it he's face is like "omg he's gonna do it" and when Mav hits the target all he can say is "dam". He thinks so highly of himself and is slapped with the realization in that moment that no, you aren't the best.

I could watch this movie over and over and never get tired of it.

Syed Saddiq muddies Muda's water By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy
Monday, March 18, 2024

Saddick

Malaysiakini : ā€œAmira reiterated that Muda is only engaged with PSM, specifically to raise issues concerning people across religions, races and skin colours.ā€ ā€“ From reportage

COMMENT | Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman is an ordinary member of Muda but uses his prominence as a former minister and a press-chasing political operative to hamstring the political party he created.

His recent presser of joining Perikatan Nasional on a roadshow to highlight the plight of the people is complete horse manure.

Syed Saddiq (above) said about this so-called ā€œneutralā€ platform - ā€œRegardless of whether from political parties or outside of politics so that in the end (the tour) is not about Muda, not about PN, not about Syed Saddiq or Muhyiddin (Yassin) but it is about the plight of the people that must be prioritised,ā€ is not only disingenuous but also demonstrates why people have always viewed him with suspicion.    

This unfortunately affects how people view Muda.

This is about Syed Saddiq and how he wants to remain relevant and perhaps escape whatever fate awaits him in this politically turbulent time. Even Umno Youth deputy chief Mohd Hairi Mad Shah had to remind Syed Saddiq not to act as if ā€œā€¦. he is the fighter who brought the Tunku Mahkota Ismail Youth Centre (TMIYC) project and ensured it was completed.

ā€œThis effort is driven by the Regent of Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim and the Johor government,ā€ which further illustrates how badly Syed Saddiq wants to be effective but does not want to put in the hard work that is required.

JAWAPAN DAN KENYATAAN BALAS PRESIDEN PSPRM, MEJ HJ MIOR ROSLI TUDM (BERSARA), TERHADAP KENYATAAN YB MENTERI PERTAHANAN DAN PENDAPAT PEGUAM NEGARA DI PERSIDANGAN DEWAN RAKYAT PADA 12HB MAC 2024 MENGENAI RAYUAN MEREKA KE MAHKAMAH RAYUAN KEATAS KEMENANGAN TUNTUTAN PSPRM DI MAHKAMAH TINGGI PADA 5HB FEBRUARI 2024.
Sunday, March 17, 2024
All veterans must be aware of Maj Mior (President of PSPRM). This will create an impact for all veterans to be united. Pse preceed with a call for vets unity to speak with ONE UNITED VOICE & ACTION.
 

Part 1 of 4

Assalamuā€™alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Alhamdulillahirabbil Alamin Wassalatu Wassalamu Ala Asyrafilanbiya Iwal Mursalin Waala Alihi Waashabihi Ajmain

Saya bagi pihak PSPRM dan veteran ATM yang menyokong saya, terpaksa menulis pada hari baik dan bulan baik ini untuk membuat kenyataan balas kepada kenyataan yang saya anggap tersangat khilaf dan tidak bijak mengenai rayuan dan penentangan kerajaan terhadap kemenangan tuntutan kami di Mahkamah Tinggi dan saya berdoa memohon rahmat dan hidayah dari Allah semoga dengan rahmat itu, Allah berikan petunjuk kepada saya, Allah perkukuhkan ikatan kami antara veteran ATM, dan Allah memperbaiki urusan agama dan dunia kami kejalan yang benar, tulus dan lurus.

DENGAN INI, SAYA MEJAR HJ MIOR ROSLI TUDM (BERSARA) INGIN MEMBUAT KENYATAAN BALAS BERDASARKAN UNDANG-UNDANG NEGARA KEPADA KENYATAAN MENTERI PERTAHANAN (MENHAN), KERAJAAN MALAYSIA DAN JABATAN PERKHIDMATAN AWAM MALAYSIA SEPERTI BERIKUT:

ISU PERTAMA: MENTERI PERTAHANAN (TOK MAT) PADA SESI DEWAN RAKYAT 2023 TELAH MENYATAKAN BAHAWA KEMENTAH TIDAK BOLEH BUAT APA-APA UNTUK SELARASKAN PENCEN VETERAN ATM KERANA TERDAPAT SEGELINTIR VETERAN (PSPRM) TELAH MEMBAWA KES INI KE MAHKAMAH (Saman Permula No.WA-24NCVC-3989-11/2022). BELIAU JUGA TELAH SEOLAH-OLAH BERJANJI pada Dewan (semua veteran ATM yang berpencen sebelum 1 Jan 2013) BAHAWA KEMENTAH AKAN "AKUR" SEGALA KEPUTUSAN MAHKAMAH TINGGI KELAK

Pada 5hb Mac 2024, Yang Arif Pesuruhjaya Kehakiman (Dr Suzana binti Muhammad Said telah MEMERINTAHKAN di Mahkamah Terbuka bahawa SETELAH YANG ARIF MEMBACA saman pemula kami (PSPRM) bertarikh 17 November 2022, Afidavit-Afidavit, Hujahan-Hujahan bertulis yang difailkan oleh kami/PSPRM (plaintif) dan kerajaan (Defenden-Defenden) dan SETELAH MENDENGAR Peguamcara PSPRM dan Peguam Persekutuan (bagi pihak Defenden-Defenden), Yang Arif Pesuruhjaya Kehakiman telah MEMERINTAHKAN bahawa:

(a). Kesemua Defendan (Kerajaan Malaysia, Perdana Menteri, Menteri Kanan Pertahanan dan Majlis Angkatan Tentera) telah memungkiri peruntukan di bawah Perkara 137 dan/atau Perkara 8 Perlembagaan Persekutuan di baca bersama dengan dengan Seksyen 187 Akta Angkatan Tentera 1972 dalam kegagalan masing-masing untuk melakukan penyelarasan pencen yang baharu untuk kesemua Pesara Angkatan Tentera Malaysia yang bersara sebelum 1 Januari 2013.

(b). Kesemua Pesara Angkatan Tentera Malaysia yang bersara sebelum 1 Januari 2013 tersebut berhak diselaraskan pencen masing-masing mengikut kadar atau cara sepertimana diselaraskan pencen kesemua Pesara Angkatan Tentera Malaysia yang bersara selepas 1 Januari 2013.

Setelah PSPRM berjaya kemenangan di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur diatas, saya sungguh kecewa kerana pada 9hb Februari 2024, Kerajaan Malaysia, Perdana Menteri, Menteri Kanan Pertahanan Malaysia dan Majlis Angkatan Tentera telah membuat Rayuan kepada Timbalan Pendaftar Mahkamah Rayuan Malaysia di Putrajaya (salinan kepada Timbalan Pendaftar Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur dan Peguamcara PSPRM) dengan Notis Rayuan mereka yang di buat oleh Peguam Pesekutuan yang berbunyi lebih kurang seperti berikut:

"Sila ambil perhatian bahawa Kerajaan Malaysia, Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Menteri Kanan Pertahanan Malaysia, dan Majlis Angkatan Tentera, perayu-perayu yang dinamakan diatas yang TIDAK BERPUASHATI DENGAN KEPUTUSAN YANG ARIF PESURUHJAYA KEHAKIMAN DR SUZANA BINTI MUHAMAD SAID yang di berikan di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur pada 5hb Februari 2024 MERAYU KEPADA MAHKAMAH RAYUAN TERHADAP KESELURUHAN KEPUTUSAN TERSEBUT".

Dari ayat Rayuan diatas saya dengan kecewanya mengatakan:

Menteri Munafik

(a). Apa yang Menteri Kanan Pertahanan Malaysia janji di Parlimen pada penghujung tahun 2023 adalah janji bohong dan membuktikan dia adalah seorang yang munafik.

(b). Kerajaan Malaysia, Perdana Menteri dan Menteri2 tidak hormat, tidak ada simpati, empiti dan mengenang jasa-jasa Veteran ATM yang telah berkorban kepada Raja-Raja Melayu, Kerajan, Negara dan Rakyat Malaysia.

(c). Kerajaan tidak horamat kepada Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan undang-undang Persekutuan yang di buat oleh Parlimen sendiri.

(d). Kerajaan Malaysia tidak menghormati DYMM SPB YDPA dan keputusan Mahkamah yang di buat berdasarkan kepada undang-undang.

Sekian.

Di luar Negara jasa-jasa Anjing K-9 pun di hargai.Tapi di Malaysia jasa Veteran ATM langsung tidak di kenang.
Sekarang Menteri Pertahanan pun berani membuat kenyataan di Parlimen mengatakan YDPA tidak ada kuasa terhadap Majlis Angkatan Tentera. Even dogs are very honored in foreign countries.

The bonds between these dogs, their military and law-enforcement handlers, soldiers, and others are honored. It is one of the most powerful and memorable exhibits ever seen. Dogs are better appreciated than Veterans in Malaysia.

Sadly in my country Veterans are short changed, Veterans have been asking for the streamlining of pensions like forever.

Dark truths on '98 Commonwealth Games emerge By R Nadeswaran


Malaysiakini : COMMENT | From 2002, I penned more than a dozen commentaries requesting for the accounts of the 1998 Commonwealth Games to be made public.

But those responsible, including the bigwigs at Sukom Ninety Eight Berhad (Sukom 98 Bhd) ignored the calls, pretended not to have read them, or felt it was too much ā€œtroubleā€ to engage with me.

But credit must go to Azalina Othman Said, who upon becoming the sports minister, spoke to me and instructed her officers to produce the documents.

But they could only show me the annual filings to the then Registrar of Companies (now Companies Commission) because the organisers were Sukom 98 Bhd, incorporated under the Companies Act. 

The gullible media reported that ā€œthe accounts have been closedā€ and a letter to Malaysiakini even praised Azalina for her efforts.

The audited statement of accounts, which was closed at the end of 2002, saw the company posting a loss of RM11.6 million.

Azalina Othman Said

ā€œWe have finished with one chapter ā€“ that is the closing of the accounts. Sukom will now have to deal with how to settle it and where to raise the money. Of the RM11.6 million, a total of RM11.4 million is owed to the government,ā€ The Star quoted Azalina as saying.

But how much did the government give in grants? How much was collected from other sources? They were never made public.

NoobMaster69 : Singapore willing to fork out millions to let Taylor Swift performs only in Singapore. They have all the facilities ready because few years ago they had hosted the youth Olympics.

They are master in hosting and by hosting the Commonwealth it will enable them to show to the world that they are ready for Asian Games as well as Olympics game.

Meanwhile in Malaysia, just sit and watch as the world goes by. We can sulk about Palestine as much as we want but no one is going to take us seriously.

Determined Sarawakian : In 1998, when Malaysia held it's first Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, DSAI was removed from all positions in government and imprisoned. Great Britain was entirely silent over the treatment of DSAI.

Then, Labour Party PM, Tony Blair, refused to interfere with the Mahathir Administration, and forged on to allow the Games to be held. If anyone could even remember as that far behind, the Mahathir Administration and UMNO cohorts instituted media blackout (those days only print and cable TV and radio operators, social media was basically non-existent) and those persons or individuals giving out or selling any media in relations to the arrest of DSAI, were apprehended and prosecuted.

Basically, what Nades wrote back then (even) had any effect or sustenance about the misappropriation of the Commonwealth Games. The only country that was boisterous enough was the United States, weeks before the APEC Summit. President Bill Clinton didn't attend the APEC Summit in KL, and he delegated VP Al Gore, who went on to protest with the activists rather than in the APEC Forum.

Mirzan and Mokhzani Mahathirā€™s wealth By Yap Si Err
Saturday, March 16, 2024

Malaysiakini : KINIGUIDE | Two of former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamadā€™s children, Mirzan and Mokhzani, are under investigation by the MACC and have been ordered to declare their assets.Both were known to be active in the business world and are reputed to have immense wealth. But how did they get there, and exactly how wealthy are they?

In this instalment of KiniGuide, we revisit what is publicly known about their wealth and the controversies along the way.

Who are Mirzan and Mokhzani?  

Mahathir and his wife Dr Siti Hasmah have four biological children; Mirzan and Mokhzani are their second and third children, respectively, with Marina being the eldest and Mukhriz being the youngest of the four. The couple also have three adopted children: Melinda, Mazhar, and Maizura.

According to Bloomberg and the University of Pennsylvaniaā€™s alumni webpage, Mirzan used to work for the US-based investment bank Salomon Brothers and is currently the founder and chief executive officer of the Malaysian investment holding and financial advisory firm Crescent Capital Sdn Bhd.

He holds directorships in several public and private companies in Southeast Asia, including the Philippinesā€™ largest oil refiner Petron and the local electronics manufacturer Betamek. He is also the former CEO of Konsortium Logistics Berhad (KLB).  

Meanwhile, Forbes has listed Mokhzani as among Malaysiaā€™s richest persons several times since 2007. Forbes ranked him as the ninth richest in Malaysia in 2013, with a wealth of over RM4.22 billion from the oil and gas industry.

He founded the oil equipment fabricator Kencana Petroleum, which later became SapuraKencana Petroleum following its merger with SapuraCrest in 2012 and is now known as Sapura Energy. Mokhzani had reportedly relinquished his stake in SapuraKencana in late-2017.

What was Mirzan up to?

In the 1990s, Asiaweek valued Mirzanā€™s holdings in public companies alone at over US$880 million. His first big break in Malaysia, after returning from the US, was in KLBā€™s predecessor Konsortium Perkapalan Berhad (KPB).

According to KLBā€™s 1999 annual statement, Mirzan managed to increase KLBā€™s turnover from RM100 million in 1995 to RM417 million in 1996, more than quadrupling its turnover in just one year. It reached RM730 million at its peak in 1997, attracting attention from both domestic and international markets.

Unfortunately, the companyā€™s aggressive acquisitions and expansion placed it under significant debt pressure, and it was hit hard by the sudden onset of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Its liabilities grew to RM400 million.   As part of an ongoing lawsuit, the finance minister at the time, Anwar Ibrahim, claimed Mahathir had tried to rescue several financially distressed companies amid the crisis, including KPB.

Mahathir supposedly became upset when Anwar refused and was concerned about potential embarrassment if the matter was presented in Parliament for debate. So instead, Mahathir allegedly sidestepped Anwarā€™s authority by ordering Petronas to rescue KPB since the oil company came under his purview as the prime minister. The Petronas subsidiary MISC Bhd bought over KPB for US$220 million.

In his autobiography ā€˜A Doctor in the Houseā€™, Mahathir defended the move, saying it was not a bailout because Petronas bought KPB at a low price and sold some freighters at a handsome profit when the shipping industry recovered.

Mirzan would remain as KLBā€™s executive chairperson until his departure in August 2007, while the company evolved to become known as Pos Logistic Bhd today.

What about Mokhzani?

Former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak had claimed that Mokhzaniā€™s Kenchana Petroleum won a license to fabricate offshore structures from Petronas in 2002. The allegation was made in 2020 in response to Mahathirā€™s assertion that Najibā€™s children benefited from government contracts during his premiership.

In turn, Mokhzani also denied Najibā€™s claims saying that Sapura Kencana Petroleum was only established in 2012, after Mahathir had already stepped down from his first stint as prime minister.

Mokhzani Mahathir

Nonetheless, evidence from Kencanaā€™s 2011 annual statement confirms that Kencana Petroleum Bhd, before its merger and renaming, had indeed secured a Petronas contract in 2002 as Najib claimed. Mokhzani also once headed the fibre optics manufacturer Opcom Group founded by his brother Mukhriz.

In a lawsuit, Anwar claimed Mohkzani, Mirzan, Mukhriz, and Mukhrizā€™s wife Norzieta Zakaria were directors of the company from 1994 to 2021.

He claimed that during this period, Mahathir had used his position as prime minister and finance minister to influence Telekom Malaysia (TM)ā€™s decisions, which carried out direct negotiations with Opcom for the supply of fibre optic cables.

Opcom had also raised eyebrows after being awarded a RM11.16 million contract from TM just days after the 14th general election and Mahathirā€™s swearing-in as prime minister under the Pakatan Harapan coalition. TM later clarified the decision was made before the election following an open tender process.

Later when the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan was announced in 2019, Opcom share prices spiked amid speculation that it would become the main beneficiary of the project. The communications and multimedia minister at the time Gobind Singh Deo subsequently clarified that Opcom couldnā€™t have bid for the contract because it didnā€™t have the relevant license.

What does Mahathir have to say?

Mahathir has long asserted that his childrenā€™s wealth was due to their own hard work and had nothing to do with him. ā€œIf they are rich now, it is through their own efforts. ā€œThey are entitled to be rich, that is if they can become rich. But some of my relatives are as poor as a church mouse,ā€ he reportedly said in 2018.

During a 1998 interview with Asiaweek, he responded to allegations of nepotism and cronyism by saying the government must assist the private sector, especially bumiputera-owned companies, to correct economic imbalances. He challenged the interviewer to ā€œTell me any single businessman who is not close to this governmentā€.

In the lawsuit with Anwar, Mahathir accused his former protĆ©gĆ© of being a pathological liar who never showed evidence for his allegations of abuse of power. He pointed out that Anwar himself told the media in March 1998 that MISCā€™s purchase of KPB was not a bailout but a business decision.

He also countered that Opcom was far ahead of its competitors as a pioneer in supplying fibre optic cables in Malaysia, with various ISO certifications to show for it. Even Anwar had conceded that TM itself issued a letter to the Finance Ministry to hold direct negotiation with Opcom over the fibre optic contract, Mahathir noted.

OrangeCamel : Please finish the drama before the old man die..... We Malaysian are entitled to know the truth,so SPRM speed up your evidence and court case....

UNDECIDED : If you are a well connected Malay Muslim like TDM's children, you don't need to be hard working, business savvy or exceptionally clever to become very wealthy. This is the reason why children and immediate family members of politicians should not be allowed to tender for government, GLCs and GLIC's contracts.

It is an unprincipled and obscene way to making money. Their close relatives, if they want to be in business, should compete with non bumiputras on the same footing. This way, it may even help to create more competitive bumiputra businessman over time.

Across the Straits : When papa has power, their business acumen goes to heaven. Donā€™t have to be a genius to figure out what always happens.

Common Man : IJN is the best place to rest in peace..

'Born of traitors, Bersatu will keep facing betrayals' By Haspaizi Zain

Another hypocrite who sends his kid to Chinese schools

Malaysiakini : Umno has no issues with the defection of Bersatu MPs who showed support for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, but a party leader insisted that ā€œtraitors will be traitorsā€. Reflecting on how Umno was betrayed after the party first lost federal power in 2018, secretary-general Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki said the same individuals have now defected from Bersatu.

 Asyraf said Bersatu was a party ā€œborn out of betrayalsā€ and now is forced to pay the price of its own treacherous acts.ā€œWhoever wants to give support, what is most important for us is that the government is stable.  

ā€œUmno from the beginning has taken the stance that we are in this government because we feel that stability is important for the people,ā€ he said. ā€œAnd that is among the advice given by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, to end past conflicts. But a traitor will remain a traitor,ā€ said Asyraf.

Series of defections

Insisting that Bersatu was born from the ā€œDNA and womb of a traitorā€, Asyraf said the party will continue to face its own betrayals.

OrangePanther1466 : Mahathir and Muhyiddin formed Bersatu to house all UMNO members who wish to flee the party because of the massive corruption and power abuse. It became a party to serve one man, Najib Razak.

Those who left UMNO for Bersatu now find themselves in the same bed as their mortal enemy, PAS who is the senior partner and Bersatu being the second fiddle. If you are a Bersatu leader with a clear conscience, wouldn't you flee again as clearly it is not what you had signed up for when you left UMNO initially. So really it is no surprise that the 6 MPs have decided to switch sides again.

I do not think they betrayed UMNO's struggle but it is UMNO which betrayed them by becoming a party of kleptocrats and corrupt leaders. So Ashraf you are wrong in your assumption and conclusion about who betrayed who. Perhaps the 6 MPs may now find a permanent home in one of PH's parties PKR or Amanah.

Was Mamata Banerjee's fall an accident? Or was she pushed? What's the truth?
A special investigation team of the Kolkata Police will be probing how West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee fell down at her home. Reports claim Banerjee has told Kolkata's Police Commissioner that someone pushed her from behind as she was walking in her drawing room. Banerjee fell and hit her head against a glass showcase.

Doesn't that photo And blood look like a drama? How can blood be oozing And pouring on the face and a person taking pictures of it?? A person like Mamata who is a chief minister if had an actual injury would have immediately taken to the hospital Or given first aid, meaning bandaged immediately. I don't think anyone would be able to take a picture like this!!! An act timed to perfection. Last election it was broken leg.

Unfortunately for India she did NOT die.

Christian shopkeeper protects Muslim woman from violent mob By Katey HearthMarch 14, 2024

Paki Bazaar

Pakistan (MNN) ā€” Do you remember hearing about the woman in Pakistan who was harassed by a mob because of her dress a few weeks ago?

ā€œThe woman was walking through the bazaar with her husband when a Muslim man noticed the Arabic calligraphy and began following the couple,ā€ FMIā€™s Nehemiah reminds us.

The Muslim woman watches in horror as Johnson Tariq and his employees protect her from a violent mob.
(Photo courtesy of FMI)

The Muslim man accused the woman of blasphemy, which riled up the surrounding crowd. ā€œThis bazaar has more than 500 small shops, and itā€™s overcrowded,ā€ Nehemiah says.

ā€œEverybody wanted to kill this woman; [one] person even claimed that he was going to shoot this woman down.ā€

Hereā€™s the part that didnā€™t make the international headlines: Johnson Tariq, a Christian shop owner, risked his safety to shelter the woman and her husband.

ā€œMeanwhile, two Christian salesmen who work with this Christian shopkeeper formed a human chain attempting to calm the approaching mob that sought to breach the shop; [they even threatened] arson.ā€

Tariq and his employees kept the woman safe in Tariqā€™s food shop until police arrived and calmed the crowd, securing the safe release of the woman and her husband.

Actions like these can easily turn into Gospel opportunities. Pray believers in Pakistan will be bold in sharing Jesus with their Muslim neighbors. ā€œPlease pray for these Muslim brothers and sisters. That is our mission ground,ā€ Nehemiah says.

ā€œThis is where FMI is serving [so] that these people can see the light of Jesus Christ and they will know who is the real Savior.ā€

Veterans after being sodomized for 26 plus years, can barely see the light at the end of the arsehole
After being "sakaued" of our votes repeatedly. Finally PMX has woken up to our predicament after "Pukul Bodoh" for over a year. All of these heartaches of Veterans can still be avoided easily for a fraction of the cost of the "Invisible LCS". The culprits of this fiasco are still walking free without a care in the world.

So stop running for cover and resolve the problems of the Veterans. Most of the Veterans have gone before us to their place of rest, after sacrificing their blood sweat and tears for a mere pittance. These are the guys who fought the insurgency until the cessation of hostilities. It is really a pity they never got to enjoy the fruits of their many sacrifices. While people who screwed them over got to be fat and filthy rich living off the lives of Veterans

Before elections slimy politicians always promise the sky and the earth.  Many were maimed and suffered until their dying breath living on their pathetic pensions. They did NOT suffer alone, their loyal wives and children left behind had to carry their burden on their own. Which was suffering for want of a better life.
"Any nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure" - Abraham Lincoln.  A 150+ year old quote, that is certainly relevant today! If there is a nation in the world that has not honoured it's warriors well then it is Malaysia.
But when we cast our eyes to the national scene, the picture is tragically pathetic that we have failed to honour our heroes who through their selfless dedication have made Malaysia what it is now. Malaysia today is known throughout the world because of its past glories in jungle fighting and successfully bringing an insurgency to a standstill.

Part of the above extracted from here.

All those who placed our warriors in this situation please repent before you meet with hellfire and that's NOT a missile, by which time it will be too late.

PAS has misunderstood the meaning of Ramadan By Mariam Mokhtar


Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Ramadan is supposed to teach Muslims about humility, patience, and spirituality, but the displays of excess, harassment and control by the Malaysian authorities, tell another story.

Instead of restraint and self-reflection, we are burdened with conservative politicians wanting to bully the public, both the Muslim and non-Muslim members of the rakyat.

The perennial problems of conservative Muslims criticising canteens which remain open for business and ā€œnon-Muslims failing to respect the right of Muslims to fastā€ will crop up without fail. Schools are the usual target. Are factory and workplace canteens free of the same scrutiny?

Outside of school, we have religious officers from the state religious authorities, patrolling the streets, checking the popular restaurants and fast-food outlets, to catch Muslims who are eating.

Proof of pudding always in the eating : Either pas is misunderstanding Islam or they are absolutely correct. Either way we are in trouble. If a party made of ullamas can misunderstand their religion we are in deep shxt guys.

WINNING Scarecrow : PASā€™s intention is good. They want to prevent unnecessary temptation for the Muslim children so that they may fast well, and to encourage non-Muslim children to fast along in order to appreciate Islam more. Thatā€™s the beauty of PAS teaching the people to respect one another from young age.

Some robust replies to the NUT JOB above

YellowSalmon8705 : Why should non-Muslim fast? This is outright forcing ur religion unto non-Muslim! And this is called beauty of PASā€™s teaching and thus non-Muslim will appreciate it?

kiatgoh : leave us alone we do not need your advice. we never ask for them

GrayPuffin9604 : Nothing is beautiful about controlling others. It is just sick and arrogant attitude. PAS have a very sick obsession with thinking that they know it all. Tell us who have been up there in heven and back? No one for sure.

Man on the Silver Mountain : What a fallacious teaching on fasting. Fasting well is when you resist and overcome temptations, not the other way round. We would expect the parents to remind their children that there will be temptations as they are undergoing their fast, which should not discourage them, but to make them even more determine to complete it. Parents should not use the occasion to poison their childrenā€™s mind by saying non-Muslims should not eat in front of them and that by doing so, they are enemies of Islam as they are disrespecting it.

IndigoLion6260 : We Buddhists does not eat beef. Should we also tell muslims to respect us not to eat beef also ??

Maimun : Memalukan, pakai ketayap tapi guna mulut, tak berfikir! Apa punya pak alim ini??? Pi gantung diri lah! Pas untuk semua konon! Otak putar belit!

Knucklehead : Mariam, you just highlighted the point again why non-Muslims will never vote for PAS, it will just destroy Malaysia! Sadly lesser educated Muslims especially from the east-coast look up to PAS for guidance to heavens, without thinking or questioning.

Local man detained over alleged sale of dates from Israel By Zarrah Morden, Shamz Johan & Isabelle Leong
Thursday, March 14, 2024

Malaysiakini : PARLIAMENT | A man has been detained over the alleged sale of dates from Israel, said Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Armizan Mohd Ali.

ā€œIn a raid, a local man in his 40s believed to be the owner of the relevant business was detained for further investigations,ā€ he told the Dewan Rakyat this morning. Armizan was referring to a Customs Department raid on March 12 at Northport in Klang, Selangor where 73 packs of organic jumbo medjool dates believed to be from Israel were confiscated.

The case is being investigated under the Customs Act 1967, he added.   Previously, the media reported the existence of dates from Israel in local markets ahead of Ramadan. This raised questions on how such products were brought into Malaysia considering the lack of trade relationships between the country and Israel.

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Armizan Mohd Ali

Armizan said his ministry will continue to monitor local markets for such products. In response to questions from Rosol Wahid (PN-Hulu Terengganu), he said his ministry does not have the jurisdiction to consider import licences as per the Customs (Prohibition Of Imports) Order 2023.

ā€œAs for YBā€™s (Rosolā€™s) concernā€¦ we will continue to monitor markets through the various acts under the ministry especially the Trade Descriptions Act 1972 to inspect dates offered to consumers.

ā€œAnd we have immediately included in the standard operating procedures and reference terms for Ops Pantau, which we launched especially for this Ramadan and Aidilfitri, to monitor the alleged sale of these dates closely,ā€ Armizan added.

BlackPigeon0028 : Please label as Haram and sell only to the Chinese. Put them all in the Pork or Liquor section. So others can buy. I would love to buy more than 3 boxes. Yummy!!!

Doc : It's about time to ban Waze - an Israeli tech product. MP need to act now!

YouCannotBeSerious : Picking on small businesses but letting the well-connected steal billions.

AyuhMy : Fruits from Israel are know to be of very good quality. Now it seams that due to your support of h@mas (a terr0rist organisation) you are willing to consume products of lesser quality defies all logic. Are you also boycotting meds and tech from Israel or are you being hypocritical?

Sheikh Madiah : They have Maccabee Beer too. I used to buy them by the cases from the Israeli PX in Somalia. I used to see the Saudis, Moroccans, Egyptians and others swig them under a beach umbrella, happily.

There was a pretty Jewess and two Jewish guys. The guys were wearing the Kippah. No vending machines, like suggested here. Manually done. Most Malaysians who loved the beers were frequent visitors. No problems at all.

Proarte : Isnā€™t the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock located in Jerusalem, Israel, a city holy to all 3 Abrahamic faiths? There are 2 million Arab Muslims living as citizens in Israel. If they make a living selling dates to the world from their plantations, why should this be a problem?

Malaysia should stop being small minded about dates from Israel, after all it is holy land. Are Muslims going to be told they should not use Waze because it was designed and manufactured in Israel by Jews?

It is now a subsidiary company of Google, so does that mean Muslims should not use Google because its founders Page and Brin themselves are Jewish? Can we function the way we do in Malaysia without the contribution of Israelis and the Jewish Diaspora? And we worry about dates from Israel? Astaghfiruallah !

Rajawan : If you want to boycott Israel, you have to boycott the following : Computers, Software, Internet, Social media because global giants like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Cisco, Apple, Nvidia all have R&D facility in Israel.

Pharmaceutical companies like Merck, Sanofi, Pfizer also have R&D facility in Israel Payment companies like Visa & Mastercard also have R&D facility in Israel What's the point of just boycotting McD, Starbucks and Israeli dates ?

Geram : 73 packets of dates from Israel. The whole country cannot sleep & eat. What about all those technologies and medical products from Israel that we use? Buat tak tahu kan.

Why Are Khalistanis Running Scared? Who's Behind UK Blasphemy Extremism? With Major Gaurav Arya
New Zealand, a member of the Five-Eyes alliance, doubts India's role in Khalistani Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing. Deputy PM Winston Peters, during an official visit, questioned Canada's evidence in an interview with The Indian Express.

Kulwant Singh Mothada, a Khalistan supporter, lives in constant fear, adopting strict security measures. He monitors home CCTV and frequently changes commute routes, reflecting heightened tension and safety concerns. Some sort of action must be taken in international court against PM Trudeau for making false allegations against India.

The English people call London - Londonistan - Britain has indeed fallen.

Siachen Glacierā€”A Triangular Wedge In The Pakistan, China Threat At The World's Third Pole In Ladakh
The Siachen Glacier is a critical, strategic triangle that India has wedged between Pakistan and China. India foiled Pakistan's preparations to militarily occupy the Siachen Glacier with ā€˜Operation Meghdootā€™ in April 1984, pre-empting Operation Ababeel.

'The Himalayan Frontier', a StratNews Global team of Amitabh P. Revi, Rohit Pandita, and Karan Marwaha travels from Leh, Ladakh's capital to the Siachen Base Camp to document the strategic synergy between the Indian Army and the Indian Air Force (IAF) in dealing with the Pakistan, China two-front threat around Siachen.

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is also completing the Sasoma-Saser La-Saser Brangsa-Gapshan-Daulat Beg Oldie (DBO) Road in the region. It is a connectivity link that is the worldā€™s first glaciated road and an alternate axis for the Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie (DSDBO) road to the Indian Army's northernmost base-DBO.

My cousin was in siachen glaicer after academy and only few with strong mindset can do this and live there for months.

'Non-Muslims, non-fasting students should eat at school canteen' By Alyaa Alhadjri


Malaysiakini : PARLIAMENT | Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek today said the ministry did not want to see any students being forced to eat in ā€œinappropriateā€ conditions at school throughout Ramadan.

She also defended a ministryā€™s directive for school canteens to continue operating during Ramadan, stating that it had already been practised since last year. ā€œI have stressed the importance of making non-Muslim students understand about the practice of their Muslim friends and for them to respect each other.

ā€œI donā€™t want there to be non-Muslim children, children who are not fasting, eating in a store room, inappropriate places, when in every school there is a canteen,ā€ she said.   ā€œThey have to go to the canteen and eat and Muslim students who are fasting will be managed by their teachers,ā€ she added.

Responding to Salamiah Mohd Nor (PN-Temerloh), Fadhlina said her initial remarks were made as a reply to a question asked during the first day of a school visit.

She said the same question on canteen operations during Ramadan was raised last year and the ministry had also suggested that the canteen remains open.

Yesterday, PAS ulama wing chief Ahmad Yahaya accused Fadhlina of triggering an ā€œunnecessaryā€ polemic and that the ministry should instead focus on educating Muslim students about the importance of fasting and their non-Muslim counterparts to respect the practice.

Previously, Fadhlinaā€™s insistence for canteens to remain open was also made despite a recommendation from Persatuan Pengusaha Kantin Sekolah Malaysia to stop operations if the schools have less than 10 percent non-Muslim students.

Segregation: Why vernacular schools get blamed? By Ooi Kok Hin

JusticeNow! : The facts brought out very clearly: Enrollment in States sponsored segregated schools/universities far out number vernacular school, Vernacular schools are NOT exclusive or segregated school free for all to enroll!

SO, who is the real problems?? 90% of all universities students in Malaysia are bumiputra, only a mere less that 10% are non-bumiputra, and within this less than 10%, maybe less than 5% is ethnic Chinese! It is the Malay education Eco system that do not allow them to mix with people of other races than the other way round! A Malay could go from SK to SMK to MRSM/MARA to UiTM and graduated without much contact with other races.

It is impossible for a Chinese because there will ALWAYS be people of other races from Kindergarten to Universities that they can enroll in!!!


Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Schools in Malaysia are starting their new academic year. I thought that by the end of the year, we would once again hear about ethnic minority students not getting their desired course or scholarship they want and the ensuing - often polemical - debate about preferential treatment to enter matriculation and public university.

It turns out we did not have to wait long. The academic year 2024-2025 kicked off with Umno Youth calling for a ā€œreviewā€ of vernacular schools and the introduction of a single-stream education system.

Their statement ended with an almost noble call for diversity, ā€œthe time has come for Malaysia to end the separation and isolationā€.

But who is separating and isolating themselves? If we are honest about ending separation - if indeed national unity is our common interest instead of ethnic domination - then perhaps all of us must look in the mirror and examine how our behaviours contribute to segregation.  

That schools can be such a politically divided issue should be unsurprising to Malaysians considering we are a nation that has torn its head apart on education matters since the beginning.

Remember the Barnes Report, Fenn-Wu Report, and Razak Report in our history textbooks? The question of - or tension about - parallel school systems has never been settled in our 60-plus years of independence.

Just recently, several NGOs sought the courts to ban Chinese and Tamil vernacular schools. They lost. For all their faults (e.g. strict regimentation and rote learning), vernacular schools are at least publicly open for anyone to enrol.

India's PM Modi helps avert a nuclear catastrophe
An explosive report in the American media has revealed that in 2022, the U.S. had taken the help of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to avert a possible Russian nuclear strike on Ukraine. The report says that U.S. had already begun preparing for a possible nuclear catastrophe. Here are the details.

India is a rising power and it's influence is rising accordingly. Instead of being critical, we should applaud every effort to promote peace in the world. It's time to keep personal bias in check and work together for world peace! Being neutral and striving for peace, particularly in controversial situations, is what India has always been practicing.

US is nowhere compared to Egypt, whose border is so strong even Gazans cannot enter whereas Cartels have multiple entry visit to the US with their drugs.

PAS slams minister's canteen operation directive during Ramadan - This Ulama should learn how Christians fast - Reposting after edits

Truly this Ulama should learn from the Christians on how to fast Matthew 6:16 - When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites (PAS) do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

The PUS Idiots want the whole world to know that they are "piously fasting" want to show off their hypocritical piety

Malaysiakini : The PAS ulama wing has accused Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek of triggering an ā€œunnecessaryā€ polemic by assuring that school canteens will continue operating during Ramadan.

According to its leader Ahmad Yahaya, the ministry should instead focus on educating Muslim students about the importance of fasting and their non-Muslim counterparts to respect the practice.

ā€œThis can happen in a harmonious way without a directive for canteens to remain open when (Muslim) students are observing the Ramadan month.

ā€œThis does not mean that we are stopping the non-Muslim students from eating during the day, but it is also a form of ā€˜educationā€™ for them to respect the Ramadan month since their schooling years,ā€ Ahmad (above), who is also Pokok Sena MP, said in a statement today.

Just another guy : Iā€™m Christian ā€¦ I practice fasting too (less advertised but yes we do)ā€¦ I regularly sit through mealtimes observing my obligations never expecting others with me to not eat tooā€¦ and I would never expect children to fast along with meā€¦ so pls, bring your polemic elsewhereā€¦ let the canteen stay open for the kids to eat.

Sheikh Madiah : This is applicable to Ahmad Yahaya from the Christian Bible - Matthew 6 :16.ā€œNow whenever you fast, do not make a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they distort their faces so that they will be noticed by people when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

Kunta kinte : The proper place for students to take their meals is canteen. Not toilet. Why would someone fasting go to the canteen?

GreenKiwi2026 : Educate yourself, children only eat in canteen, the month makes no difference. If muslim students are fasting, stay in the classroom, why walk to canteen, Canteen is for ALL not one race.

YellowGopher7568 : A small advice to the PAS ulamas, if you think that Muslims are so easily influenced to break their fast by seeing people eating, then don't fast or force children to fast.

Do you know that the Christians fast for 48 days during lent which falls between ash Wednesday and Good (which currently is being observed). They don't turn night into day by feasting.

They are not heard complaining, only you people complain. Absolutely no self control.

Vijay47 : I am sure, Ahmad Yahaya, that your fellow Muslims throughout the country must be hanging their heads in utter shame and disgust at the display of what you perceive to be Islamic values; the non-Muslims of course look on with gloating sneers.

Your Ramadan fasting month has not even seen a day pass nor witnessed the new sun rise and already you are showing a streak of viciousness any person of any religion would view with total abhorrence. By some perhaps divine coincidence, the Christians are in the midst of observing the period of Lent, where they attempt some form of penitence for sins committed and seek a reconciliation with Christ.

Our priests, unfailingly and repeatedly, remind the faithful that this is especially the time when we should adhere to Godā€™s words, beg forgiveness, and ā€œlove our neighbours as we love ourselvesā€. And you, Ahmad Yahaya, take pot-shots at the Ramadan availability of canteens for school-children. School-children!

Why is it that many Muslim political leaders measure Islamic piety by how much non-Muslims are threatened, harassed, and bullied by people like you? Surely your Islamic foundation is more, much more, than such base human instincts? How fulfilling it would be for politicians of your kind to follow the Muslim virtues you preach so loudly about.

You vociferously demand respect ā€“ for a change, try earning it! I know that there is one reader here in Malaysiakini who would be unbearably pained by the shame you bring to his faith everyday, old or new. If I pause awhile in my gloating to shed a silent tear, it would be for him and only him.

Sheikh Madiah : Once you kow-tow to this bigot, it's the end of freedom of conscience and freedom of religion as you see fit. You cannot submit to the bigots. I will NOT be surprised if Malaysiakini deletes this comment. As they believe they have to submit. Comrades take note.

middle path : Mkini deleted my comment bcoz I used the word "idiot" fittingly!

PurpleGopher1703 : Should go both ways then . This lebai must think it is only him who fasts. Let's make it a deal for canteen to shut everytime someone fast. Hindus fast many days a year and Buddhists too but no one makes a fuss about it because it is a personal choice.

This spoilt brat is so used to everyone giving way to him that he now thinks the world revolves around him. truly shallow and pathetic. "He added that non-Muslim students can bring food and drinks to school and consume them in a space allocated for the purpose." oh yes, it is called the canteen.

middle path : Mkini under Steven was much, much better managed than the present editor. Presently, news articles have declined & much less. Censorship team comprising of those with half-baked English!

RedSinga1193 : Bab kamu puasa nak non Muslim respect !! Bab BahKutTeh makanan non Muslim bila kau nak respect ??

Madani's amendment will create generational underclass By Commander S THAYAPARAN (Retired) Royal Malaysian Navy

Malaysiakini : ā€œThis didn't happen in 1963. However, now with 3.5 million migrants here, it has changed the landscape of our countryā€™s composition. So, this amendment we are going to propose is to prepare us.ā€ - Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail

COMMENT | The opening quote is the key, you see. This is all about the ā€œcountryā€™s compositionā€ in a changing geopolitical landscape. This is also about a political ideology borne not out of democratic principles but rather fascistic ideas.

This is why the amendment changes ā€œoperation by lawā€ to ā€œcitizenship by registrationā€, which essentially means that a class of bureaucrats from the low levels to the upper echelons would determine the destinies of children and foundlings instead of fidelity to the constitution.

As it is, these factotums of the state are mired in all kinds of racial and religious imperatives that make it extremely difficult for stateless children and foundlings to be recognised as citizens of the state.  

This is an issue that has been going on for decades. As it is, we have enough Malaysians who are having it rough because successive elected governments are more interested in maintaining power through race and religion than in actually formulating policies that would help all Malaysians.

All these Malay uber alles political operatives are now discovering that decades of religious and immigration malfeasances have resulted in a polity that is competing with a host of migrants in a time of political unrest.

INSANE. This Is The BIGGEST Political Scandal In Human History
The biggest political scandal in history might be coming out of France, I recap my night at the UFC fight, John Cena goes naked at The Oscars, and Chris Cuomo and I debate Bidenā€™s State of The Union on the PBD Podcast. From Jean-Michel to Brigitte Trogneux, lies at the ElysĆ©e

Brigitte Macron was born a boy in 1945 and his name was Jean-Michel Trogneux. In 2017, my cousin who's in Portugal working in Embassy, told me that ''Everyone knows that Emanuel Macron is gay''... I didn't believe.... Today, my cousin might be right.. Shouldnā€™t there be people that would come out and say ā€œoh I went to school with herā€, or ā€œ I grew up next door to the familyā€, something. There should be hundreds of people who could come out and say they knew her in her teens or 20ā€™s. Very strange.

Now I am waiting for people to break the story about Michael Obama and that she is a man.

Is the UK set to be the worst place to live?
Monday, March 11, 2024
An economy headed for recession, rising cost of living, food shortages, a collapsing healthcare system make the United Kingdom a terrible place to live. Brit here, for those not in the UK, trust me, this is ALL true.

Britain used to be a fantastic place to live but not anymore it's gone downhill from my childhood. My son has been in the UK for years and cant wait to get out after he finishes his phd. Everything you say is true - its worse in some places, eg Leeds, Leicester, Manchester and even London and better in other areas eg Oxfordshire. The difference between the haves and have nots is truly sickening.

And I live in Edinburgh. It looks nice, it is not nice. It is only getting worse with no end in sight.

Ramasamy: Akmal peddling racist stereotypes instead of rational dialogue

Malaysiakini : Former Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy has called out Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamed Akmal Saleh, saying that the latter has resorted to racist stereotypes instead of choosing a rational discussion.

The pair have been engaged in a war of words over the topic of vernacular schools in the country, and last night Akmal took a swipe at Ramasamy by saying "Politicians such as yourself are why unity between the races canā€™t be fostered all this while.

ā€œKamu mabuk ke apa? (Are you drunk or what?),ā€ Akmal posted.

ā€œI expected Umno Youth leader Akmal to have responded rationally and maturely to my argument about the existence of the vernacular schools in the country.

kita orangbiasa : ā€œKamu mabuk ke apa? (Are you drunk or what?),ā€ Akmal posted. Akmal if you wish to debate, have some decorum. Don't bring yourself down and show some respect to your political opponent. The public is watching your antics.

You are the UMNO Youth Chief and your actions reflects your party's stand as far as the voters are concerned. You are dragging your already ailing party to demise. Come next elections try raising the vernacular school issue with your 17.30% Chinese and 11.58% Indian Merlimau voters and see what you get.

A shift by these voters plus a small portion of the Malay voters to PN and you will be history. Find the root cause as to why non Malay parents prefer to enrol their children in vernacular schools over Sekolah Kebangsaan and you will get a clearer picture.

PurpleJaguar0553 : To have one school system is an ideal but to do that there must be equitable access to quality education for all. This is not the case. There are religious schools, boarding schools, pondok schools and even a university that cater for only one race.

Then there is a quota system for everything particularly for places in matriculation and public universities. If UMNO continues to peddle racial quotas, exclusivity for a single race in certain educational institutions, exclusion on quota basis, why speak about unity.

The very policies on employment and promotion in civil service, GLCs, GLICs, govt agencies and statutory bodies are skewered to a single race. Access to free shares in public listed companies and private ones through licensing, policies and listing rules furthers discrimination and institutionalises it.

Why then does Akmal speak of unity? He must be blind to the obvious and picking on vernacular schools not to further unity but to continue undermining the non-malays who work hard to survive in a land that has long been governed by discrimination against them.

Commenting has been disabled for this story : UMNO is a racist party Just because they join hands with DAP for political benefits, it does not erase their decades of racist behaviour. Akmal isnt the exception to the rule in UMNO, he IS the rule.

The rest of UMNO are nodding in agreement to what he says, but for political reasons they are keeping mum. Likewise, DAP is also keeping mum on all his racist statements because of political expediency. UMNO is the Abang in the Madani government and DAP wouldnt dare.

If they talk too much, they may have to say sorry again. As for Anwar, he couldnt be less bothered. When Ngeh suggested that MKI include a non-Muslim, Anwar came out to reprimand Ngeh Yet, UMNO extremists like Akmal can be as racist as they want, and Anwar wont have the guts to do anything.

Clearly, Anwar holds UMNO in much higher regard than DAP. You can expect nothing from Anwar. UMNO is racist and will continue to be racist. It is an integral part of the "UMNO DNA". This is all par for the course.

'Mabuk ke apa?' Akmal swipes at Ramasamy on vernacular schools
Kaki Ketum

Malaysiakini : Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Salleh has questioned the logic behind espousing a "Bangsa Malaysia" while insisting on vernacular schools.

In a rebuttal against former Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy, Akmal said such arguments are why racial unity can't be fostered. "You say your party is multiracial and wants to form a Bangsa Malaysia, but on education you want there to be separation?

"Politicians such as yourself are why unity between the races can't be fostered all this while.   "Kamu mabuk ke apa? (Are you drunk or what?)," he posted on Facebook last night.

ā€œMabuk ke apaā€ is a common Malay colloquialism to say that someone is either confused or not making sense. However, implying drunkenness is also a common racist stereotype against Indians. Bangsa Malaysia commonly refers to a vision in which people view themselves as Malaysians first, instead of by race.

P.Dev Anand Pillai : Dear Akmal, why not find out and question why some of your party members themselves are sending their children to Chinese vernacular schools? Perhaps they know and see something which you don't?

Please note that if the Non Malays had not ensured that mother tongue education was made available to them, the entire language, culture and practices of the Non Malays would have been systematically wiped out by now. The Chinese vernacular schools have been very steady and systematic in their teaching and discipline of their students.

When we had the missionaries run their schools here, it was manned by a great teaching force which were given the task to maintain good discipline without any outside interference or that from the clergy of any faith.

But if you have a habit of constantly experimenting and tinkering with an education system which was once known for its meritocracy, you will only have and create mediocracy! so if the vernacular schools are to be shut down, then why not in the same manner shut down the Mara Junior Science Colleges as well which also freely practices race based entry.

Remember, the Federal Constitution is very clear on the Rights in Respect of Education as stated in Art 12 (2) so it will be best to see what can be done to go back to the stellar system that we once had before where we had Public Exams at various stages of our schooling to test our ability and where we allowed Teachers a free hand to run their schools instead of bickering about which school we should shut down because we don't like the outcome of our current education system!

Vijay47 : (I had just posted a rather lengthy (Pardon me! As Tony Pua would say) comment on the Rajiv Rishyakaran article and in fact had begun another one on that Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek trying to portray herself as some statesman but playing to the Malay extremist gallery. All this writing is tiring.

So I posting again the earlier piece which I believe is equally relevant here. Both original postings met a fate worse than death.) What kind of rubbish are you talking, Rajiv Rishyakaran, suggesting that you and Muhamad Akmal Saleh meet and ā€œtalk over coffeeā€? You should be aware that creatures such as this Muhamad Akmal Saleh are products of a Malay political system of strange habitat.

And you want to talk to him? People like Muhamad Akmal Saleh survive only because he is part of a, yes, formidable, vicious, bullying political machine, not because of any inherent strength, integrity, and honour. Take away his crutches, privileges and his quotas, he will be reduced to struggling bewilderedly on Chow Kit pavements just to live. And you want to talk to him?

Other than our Tunku, has there been a single Malay leader either side of the fence who was sincerely concerned with the wellbeing of a nation we all toiled to build? I readily concede that Pasir Gudangā€™s Hassan Abdul Karim is an occasional but welcome flower in an arid desert, and less often, perhaps Zaid Ibrahim. So who can you name?

Anwar Ibrahim? Please, donā€™t make me laugh on a Monday morning. By and large, Malay politicians have only two goings going for them. The first is to exploit almost every government project to see what they could rape for themselves despite loud cries of Bangsa dan Agama.

Next quiz question ā€“ Name me one poor Malay political leader, even those not flying to London for month-long vacations. Their second specialty is to keep begging for more and more, an endless plea that the prime minister fulfills with much mercy and compassion. And if that fails, they can always supply ships to the Navy.

No, Rajiv Rishyakaran, one does not treat morally bankrupt politicians with kid gloves. To do so would only encourage such uneducated, coarse creatures since they do not have the faculties to think and reason. Instead, show them the mailed fist and let them have a generous taste of it come what may.

I just cannot believe, Rajiv, that you want to have coffee with that Muhamad Akmal Saleh. (Needless to say, this is the sanitized version!) I doubt very much that Prof. P. Ramasamy is mabuk. I don't think he takes ketum.

GrayPigeon2115 : You call yourself an UMMO Youth Leader? You don't behave like one, you don't talk like one and all you are just a cheap damn racist to the core!!!! It's 100% with people like is that there is No Unity with Malaysia with your racist Rant !!!

Vernacular schools: Drop the insults, let's talk over coffee, Rajiv tells Akmal

Malaysiakini : Bukit Gasing assemblyperson Rajiv Rishyakaran has told Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Salleh that if he is sincere about national unity, he should not sully debates by belittling those with different views.

In a response to Akmalā€™s swipe against former Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy, Rajiv offered to buy Akmal a coffee and have a chat over the hot topic of vernacular schools. ā€œInsulting those with different views is certainly not the path towards national unity.

ā€œBefore shooting down decades of successful vernacular education, to which might I point out, SJKC schools are the most multiracial schools today compared to national schools (SK), why donā€™t you engage everyone in dialogue?  

ā€œIf your motivation is to stir and rile up your supporters, showing your racial credentials, then I guess youā€™ll keep spewing this kind of statements,ā€ said Rajiv (above) in a statement. He said that if Akmal was sincere about national unity, then a civil dialogue was the way forward.

ā€œTalk to the political parties and NGOs who feel strongly about vernacular schools and understand where they are coming from. ā€œThe responsibility of the success of this unity government to be the government for all Malaysians is equally on both of us.

RimauTongkatAli : People such as Akmal cannot be reasoned with as their sole platform is based on 2Rs. He will have nothing if the 2Rs are taken away and he would be jobless. Rajiv should not be wasting any good coffee on people like Akmal.

Aristo : Honestly why are our vernacular schools educating the Malays when we are thrown insults by arrogant Malays like Akmal and blaming our vwrnacular schools for dividing the country.

If itā€™s true that his children are being educated in a Chinese school then they should be kicked out of the school as private funding vernacular schools shouldnā€™t be wasting our money on them.

Vijay47 : What kind of rubbish are you talking, Rajiv Rishyakaran, suggesting that you and Muhamad Akmal Saleh meet and ā€œtalk over coffeeā€? You should be aware that creatures such as this Muhamad Akmal Saleh are products of a Malay political system of strange habitat.

And you want to talk to him? People like Muhamad Akmal Saleh survive only because he is part of a, yes, formidable, vicious, bullying political machine, not because of any inherent strength, integrity, and honour.

Take away his crutches, privileges and his quotas, he will be reduced to struggling bewilderedly on Chow Kit pavements just to live. And you want to talk to him? Other than our Tunku, has there been a single Malay leader either side of the fence who was sincerely concerned with the wellbeing of a nation we all toiled to build?

I readily concede that Pasir Gudangā€™s Hassan Abdul Karim is an occasional but welcome flower in an arid desert, and less often, perhaps Zaid Ibrahim. So who can you name? Anwar Ibrahim? Please, donā€™t make me laugh on a Monday morning.

By and large, Malay politicians have only two goings going for them. The first is to exploit almost every government project to see what they could rape for themselves despite loud cries of Bangsa dan Agama. Next quiz question ā€“ Name me one poor Malay political leader, even those not flying to London for month-long vacations.

Their second specialty is to keep begging for more and more, an endless plea that the prime minister fulfills with much mercy and compassion. And if that fails, they can always supply ships to the Navy. No, Rajiv Rishyakaran, one does not treat morally bankrupt politicians with kid gloves.

To do so would only encourage such uneducated, coarse creatures since they do not have the faculties to think and reason. Instead, show them the mailed fist and let them have a generous taste of it come what may. I just cannot believe, Rajiv, that you want to have coffee with that Muhamad Akmal Saleh. (Needless to say, this is the sanitized version!)

I agree with you, Rajiv Rishyakaran, that you should have coffee with Muhamad Akmal Saleh, that up-and-coming Malay statesman who is trying so hard to foster a truly united Malaysia under the able leadership of our beloved Anwar Ibrahim. Not only that, you should even have lunch and dinner with him. It is my hope that this suggestion towards racial harmony does not suffer the fate of deletion that my two earlier posts earned. One after 8 likes.
