Shamala's verdict: Court should have resolved issues of law

By A.Vaithilingam

In my opinion, there is a tendency for judges who are Muslim to consider that they have a duty to protect their faith. There appears to be a pattern in this direction.

As I understand Islam, in all my years in religious organizations, judges must be unbiased.

This is similar to all other religious teachings. When Muslim judges and non Muslim judges give different judgments in matters involving Islamic tenets, it is confusing for lay people.

I hope all judges will decide all cases according to what they think is just, regardless of their views about their own faith.

When the civil High Court judge, in giving joint custody of the two children to husband and wife, ordered Shamala Sathiaseelan not to expose her two children to her own religion of Hinduism, the judge did not cite any civil law authority for such a decision.

When the government Islamic religious authority converted her own infant children to Islam without her consent, and the civil High Court refused to intervene telling her instead to submit to that religious department for assistance, it was the last straw for her.

If she committed contempt of court by leaving the country with her children, the above can be considered strong mitigating factors.

The husband who deserted her was being given special consideration because he was a Muslim.

Both the High Court and the government religious authorities did not give recognition to her equal rights as a mother and a woman.

She appealed to the Court of Appeal who referred the matter to the Federal Court. She hoped she would get justice. But the Federal Court has shut her out completely.

If she was in contempt of court, that offence must be considered separately.

It did not mean that she should be denied relief in the substantive matters she complained about.

Zambry says Soi Lek can strengthen Perak MCA (with oral sex)

The Perak head of the rebel state government Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir has expressed confidence that the appointment of MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek as the Perak MCA Liaison Committee chairman could strengthen the party and the BN in the state.

Strengthen MCA and the BN in Perak with what? Oral sex parties? He is going to bring oral sex into the state BN leadership and its members as well.

When Dr Chua's oral sex adventure is proven and shown on videos and youtubes to the entire nation, he was forgiven by the BN top leadership, the home ministry, the police and the MCA central delegates and in the end got elected as party president.

What about the case of Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim? He was accused of an offense which is similar to the oral sex that is considered as a crime in the penal code. But has it being proven? No, the prosecution had to-date failed to prove that Datuk Seri Anwar had committed the act.

But the Umno-led BN federal government is now pressuring the judiciary to ensure Datuk Seri Anwar is "proven" and found guilty as soon as possible in order to prevent him from participating in the next general elections.

Well, BN had already decided that oral sex within its coalition is a right thing to do, while what has been done outside are all wrong even if it is yet to be proven.

Does that mean, lets join BN to do whatever you like above the law and break as many as you like? The police will salute you!

Tanjung Gerakan Youth chief in hiding after Umno's Ahmad came out from suspension

Yesterday, we all got to know that the Umno Bukit Bendera division committee members tendered their resignations en-bloc in order to force a re-election of the said division which will see its formerly suspended division chief Ahmad Ismail coming back to helm the division once he lead.

According to Ahmad who told the press conference called by the division committee that in order for them to patch things up with Gerakan, its party president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon must come out to "kow tow" and make a public apology.

Ahmad also mentioned should Dr Koh were to really come forward to "kow tow" and apologize, he will also need to review it with his division committee before he could formally accept them.

Just look at how arrogant this terrorist leader from Umno towards its BN component party member, Gerakan. And yet Gerakan was too scared to make any response to the Umno war mongering and hate messages.

Where is the Tanjung Gerakan Youth division chief H'ng Khoon Leng who often came up to criticize the DAP as a chauvinistic Chinese political party? Why is he so scared of Umno and dare not even put up a strong message to Ahmad?

H'ng is as coward as a mouse when come to dealing with Umno, the dominant party in the BN, but when it comes confronting the Pakatan Rakyat, he is quick to bash things up maybe because he felt comfortable bashing up politics of his own ethnic.

Well, this is all along Gerakan's cowardice anyway.

Ahmad "Kerbau" Ismail's return imminent, suicide bombers killed dozens of people

All 36 committee members of the Bukit Bendera Umno division have resigned in a move to force the re-election of the divisional committee, in particular to return Ahmad Ismail as its division chairperson after his less than 3 years suspension was lifted by the party supreme council.

Ahmad Ismail better known as Ahmad Kerbau was suspended for three years from the party membership before that for uttering racist remarks during the Permatang Pauh Parliamentary by-elections by calling the Malaysian Chinese community as "kaum pendatang" and "penduduk sementara". His suspension however, was lifted by the party leadership less than three years because of his "good behaviour".

During the press conference called by the Bukit Bendera Umno division yesterday, Ahmad also insisted that in order for him to patch up with Gerakan, its party president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon must "kow tow" to him and apologize in public before he could forgive the later.

Meanwhile, two female muslim separatist suicide bombers had blown themselves up in the middle of the crowded and packed yesterday metro trains in central Moscow which killed about 37 people on board while about 60 over commuters were badly injured.

It is feared that more of those who were badly injured may die because the explosive and bombs exploded were filled with bolts and iron rods.

Intended cover up but now exposed

Initially there was an intention to cover up the inspector-general of police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hasan plan to resign from his post. Musa had in fact tendered his resignation to the home affairs minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein but the minister rejected it and instead requested him to serve till his contract expires on September.

As such, what China Press had earlier reported based on the leak from Bukit Aman itself was in fact true. Musa was asked to retract his resignation and deny in public that he had resigned which resulted to China Press being made a scapegoat for alleged "misreporting".

Is Hishammuddin doing this for the sake of saving his own face by using Musa as a shield? A very well-planned conspiracy being carried out in such a way.

Indeed a very dirty well-planned conspiracy.

China Press gets show cause, but Utusan is safe

Our nation's number one bloody idiot, the home affairs minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein had instructed his ministry officials to issue a show cause letter to the China Press for an alleged report in their newspaper citing that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Musa Hasan had resigned.

Come on, what about Utusan Malaysia newspaper? They created and made more headlines in its racist statements and reports, instigating racist demonstrations around the country, caused severe damages to our country's economic well-being by creating unrest, putting up lies and creating chaos, caused a top Selangor state government official to be arrested under the ISA for something that she never ever had connection with, instigating the rebellion in the Perak, Selangor and Penang.

China Press is merely reporting what was leaked out from Bukit Aman by a policeman who "believed" that his boss (the IGP) intended to tender his resignation. What so big fuss about this? When Utusan Malaysia created a very, very big fuss to our country that almost brought to another May 13 incident, the home minister did nothing but instead congratulated and thank Utusan's editor-in-chief for his great job and awarded him with yet another Datukship.

Yeah, Hishammuddin is the Malaysian version of the Nazi home affairs minister Wilhelm Frick. This home minister of ours is a real "Frick".

Coroner rejects MACC contempt, Teoh inquest resumes Feb 19

As expected, the magistrate’s court here today rejected the bid by the deceased’s family who wanted action taken against Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer Raub Ghani for lodging a police report against a key witness in the ongoing inquest.

Magistrate Azmil Muntapha Abbas said that in a contempt charge, the intention behind the act did not matter. Therefore, the MACC officer who tried to sabotage the inquest proceedings escaped the law just like that.

Just because of this MACC guy the inquest has been postponed so many times as the key witness to the case, Dr Pornthip did not want to testify for fear of being detained by the police after Raub lodged a police report against her.

We doubt the magistrate's inquest would serve justice to the Teoh family as what we saw this case is going to prolong. Can this inquest guarantee that the murderer could be found and brought to justice as soon as possible.

This is what the Najib administration still failed to answer till today.

Sarawakians, time to vote the state Barisan out of power!

The Islamic Development Department (Jakim) maintains that Christians should not be allowed to use the word “Allah” and rejects the suggestion that the word could be used in East Malaysia while remaining banned on the peninsula.

Umno Youth executive committee member Akhramsyah Muammar Ubaidah Sanusi said in his blog that Malay violence is inevitable. Looks like the Umno-inspired violence is also inevitable. They wanted to wage war and violence against all of us for trying to preserve national unity and religious harmony.

They (these terrorists) bombed and attacked the churches in both peninsular and the eastern states of Sabah and Sarawak.

Sarawak's state legislative assembly term which is scheduled to in mid of 2011 next year is expected to call for state elections anytime around. We hope our friends in Sarawak would have made up their mind by now.

In order to preserve our national unity and religious harmony, you must vote the state Barisan out of power. What has the state BN dominant party Persaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), its number two ally Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP), Sarawak People's Democratic Party (SPDP), Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) and the rest in the BN coalition done for you all?

All they had done todate are to continue splitting the majority Dayak community there in order to continue staying in power for the rest of their life. The slashed your forests and jungles because they wanted to enrich themselves and their political allies with the logging business.

They thrown out the state's natives from their respective villages, rape their wifes and daughters in open and took away all their properties and traditional establishments, and now they wanted to control and monitor your religion, to say you cannot do this and you cannot do that, consficated your bibles and so on.

The Sarawakian Chinese community had already voiced their discontent in the last state election by voting out their chinese representatives from SUPP and now, it is time the entire Dayak community to do the same without fear. Exercise your rights to vote and voice your future through the ballot box.

Support Sarawak National Party (SNAP), PKR, DAP and PAS - the Sarawak Pakatan Rakyat.

We’ll not hesitate to arrest you, "Umno" cops threatened Guan Eng

The Selangor police chief has threatened Penang Chief Minister and DAP Secretary-General Lim Guan Eng that police will not hesitate to arrest him if he fails to give his statement on alleged sedition.

Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said a police team, including the investigating officer from Shah Alam, was sent to Penang on Saturday to record his statement but he had refused to co-operate.

Lim is being investigated for allegedly uttering seditious remarks during a Pakatan Rakyat convention in Shah Alam on Dec 19 last year. He was alleged to have said that political aide Teoh Beng Hock’s death was murder.

Lim had earlier demanded for the police report to be given to him first and ultimately no statement was recorded.

Yes, Lim was correct in refusing to give his statement. If the police said there is a police report lodged against him, show it out and not just mentioning it verbally. We wish to remind DCP Datuk Khalid to follow proper procedures by producing the "police report" that he claimed was lodged against Lim by a man.

The police is now misusing their powers widely by targeting leaders of the Pakatan Rakyat. They send a battalion to arrest PKR advisor and Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and if the police still fail to obtain Lim's statement, will they be dispatching a regiment of police commandos to arrest him?

The police had put politics above the public safety. You do not have enough men to protect the churches nationwide from terrorist attacks but you have sufficient men to arrest just one man like Lim and Anwar. Is this justice?

Yeah, we all know, you only serve those Umno supreme bastards. We really need the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to address the political crisis in the police force.

Pakatan wants Umno to take responsibility for church attacks by the terrorists

PKR Supreme Council Member Datuk Zaid Ibrahim today condemned Umno and urged the government to take full responsibility for the church attacks.

"It has to take full responsibility for the worsening of relations between people of different faiths in this country in its handling of the use of the word Allah. "The irresponsible conduct of fanning the emotions by Umno leaders has brought about this dangerous situation. What we see today confirms that this country is being governed not by engagement consultation, sophistication or persuasion but by brute and mob force,” he said in a press statement.

Early this morning, a Protestant church was torched while homemade explosives were thrown at a Catholic church next to the Assunta Hospital. "The Umno-led government has the penchant to use force or flexing of authority in dealing with delicate issues. Take the case of the ban imposed on the Herald. They could easily have engaged in consultation with the church in Sabah and Sarawak. They should try to understand why the need to use the word Allah without any preconceived notions or prejudice. After all, they have been using the word Allah for many years before BN government acted to ban the Herald.

"They could easily have also engaged in discussions with the various Muslim groups about their legitimate concerns on whether the church are surreptitiously converting Muslims and explore ways to address these concerns in spirit of dialogue and peaceful deliberations,” he said.
He explained that there are already laws against converting Muslims but Umno instead chose to politicise the sensitive issue.

"There is already a law against converting Muslims anyway. They could have done a lot more. But because of their lack of maturity and sophistication banning is the obvious choice.

"Umno want instant popularity, so fanning the emotions of Muslims becomes legitimate... and when the court ruled otherwise they then fan the Muslims to oppose the ruling. The people of this country will not escape the scourge of Umno-led rule until they decide once and for all to dislodge this government in the next available opportunity.”

PAS has also reminded and warned its members not to engage in any demonstrations organised in the Kampung Baru Mosque, Shah Alam Mosque and the National Mosque after Friday prayers.

The protest is being orchestrated by several Muslim NGOs in retaliation against the High Court's ruling on Dec 31 allowing the Catholic Church to use the word "Allah" in its weekly publication the Herald.

PAS vice-president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man had said that the demonstration on the use of the word “Allah” is Umno’s position and not the party’s. "We call on all members of PAS in order not to be dragged in the same demonstration sponsored by Umno," he told party’s newspaper.

PAS backs the use of the word Allah by Catholics because it is consistent with the Federal Constitution and the fundemental Islamic principles.

Prime Minister and Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak has also defended his government’s decision to allow angry Muslim groups to hold a nationwide protest against the “Allah” ruling, saying they have every right to do so.

So, if that is the case, we urge Datuk Najib to explain the terrorist attacks on the four churches initiated by Umno supporters and pro-Umno NGOs. But we doubt you will be able to do that.

Umno had encourage such terror and now when it happened, they wanted to deny it. We are not going to believe you anymore.

By the way, ISA and the Sedition Act are only apply to Pakatan Rakyat.

DAP MP raps Umno cops for ‘intimidating’ critics

DAP Bukit Bendera MP Liew Chin Tong today lambasted the police for using laws such as the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act in an effort to quell dissenting views expressed by the public.

Citing DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng's recent case where he is being investigated under the Sedition Act as an example, Liew said the police action was "deplorable".

"Police investigations of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng over his statement on the death of Teoh Beng Hock and the subsequent police action to interrogate DAP Selangor chairman and Selangor State Exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah over his statement on the probe on Guan Eng are most deplorable," said the Bukit Bendera MP in a statement.

The police force which has been seen as influenced and directed by Umno is threatening the democratic process of our nation and if they left unchecked could lead to the establishment of an Umno dictatorship and a police state in near future.

Is it wrong for Guan Eng and Ean Yong to express their wish to bring justice to Beng Hock? Is it wrong for Guan Eng and Ean Yong to support the call to expedite on Beng Hock's death at the Selangor MACC headquarters? Is the police helping MACC to cover-up the murder by trying to delay the investigation and magistrate's inquest?

In this case, we wish to repeat our call to have the Independent Police Complaints and Misconducts Commission (IPCMC) established as soon as possible in order to curb the power abuses and mismanagement in the police force.

If IPCMC cannot reform the police force, we suggest Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to be dissolved and replace with a new entity call Public Security Force (PSF).

'BN to win elections? Go test it in Perak'

The Najib factor would allow BN to fare better than the last general election if the 13th general election is held today, according to pro-Umno Merdeka Centre.

In that case we want to inform Najib and the director of Merdeka Centre (who should also advise Najib) then dissolve the Perak state assembly and hold fresh elections in the state. It will be a perfect chance to evaluate your so-called "excellent, visionary leadership".

The problem is Umno did not have enough guts to dissolve the Perak state assembly now to hold a fresh elections because they fear of their repeat lost in the last general elections and the exposure of their mismanagement of the state resources of their previous governance.

They had heard, seen and watched what happened to Selangor Umno and Khir Toyo who mishandled the entire state to their lust and they did not want their wrongdoings to be uprooted by the Pakatan Rakyat. That is why the Perak Umno Rebel State Government continued their illegal administration instead. They cowardly hid behind the back of the state ruler, by saying that they followed the ruler's advice, instruction and so on.

And when we say Umno is wrong, these Umno leaders will say those who said the party was wrong committed treason as the ruler had given its blessings to the party. Where is the prove that the ruler had given his consent to Umno to seize power in the state? We did not see it. It was hel behind close doors and anything can happen at all times.

Do not support Umno anymore, they are ruin the entire nation into chaos without our knowledge and we were to realise it, then it will be too late to save our nation.

Perak Umno rebel government sealed state secretariat

The Umno police personnel preventing Pakatan assemblymen from entering the state secretariat building. The Pakatan assemblyment were led by Datuk Nizar and his state Exco members.

The Perak Umno rebel state government today sealed the entire state secretariat which also house the state legislative assembly building in their bid to prevent the state assemblymen and the Speaker from commencing the state assembly sitting as required by the Perak state constitution.

To strengthen its move, the Perak Umno rebel state government had called in the federal-backed security forces as well as their party supporters from all over the country. The Umno supporters was earlier spotted in an opposite site demonstrating against the Pakatan state assemblymen and supporters. Most of the Umno members are clad in yellow shouted slogans supporting their rebel leader Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and denouncing the legitimate Pakatan-led state government.

As the state assemblymen and the Speaker was disallowed entry into the state legislative assembly building by security forces personnel and Umno supporters, the Speaker had no choice but to convene the state assembly sitting at Heritage Hotel in Ipoh and passed motions to condemn the acts of Umno state assemblymen, defectors and imposed fines onto those who involved in the last 7 May fracas which saw the Speaker V.Sivakumar was forcibly pulled from his chambers and locked up in an undisclosed room.

Apart from being forced out violently from his chair, Sivakumar was also prevented from discharging his duties as the state Speaker. He was then replaced by the rebel-appointed R.Ganesan before the 7 May state assembly sitting commence.

The sitting today approved a decision by its rights and privileges committee to arrest and jail for six months the rebel Speaker Ganesan and his deputy Hee Yit Foong for their active role in the said fracas. The two were also fined RM500,000 by the state assembly.

The rebel state government was established by Perak Umno last February following their coup d'etat which saw the Pakatan state government being toppled. The Umno rebels had since refused to back down despite mounted pressure from the public to dissolve the state legislative assembly to pave way for a fresh state elections for fear of being rejected by the people again.

Rumours of a Selangor 'coup' unleashes pre-emptive moves

Rumours about a BN-Umno engineered Selangor coup are making the rounds among political circle and Pakatan leaders are not taking it sitting down.

This is certainly a well-planned coup attempt by BN-Umno same as the one they did it on Perak on last February. Well, we hope that the Selangor Pakatan leadership will plan its strike back before it is too late.

Learn from the experience that Perak Pakatan had undergone. The BN-Umno had the MACC and various security apparatus to support their coup attempt. The Selangor Pakatan need to sit down together to come up with their next course of action rather than to deal with petty political squabbles amongst PKR, DAP and PAS.

Remember, the Umno president Najib Razak had pledged to retake Selangor at any cost and if he is serious about this, he will do it at any cost, by riots, by force or any ways he wants, even the armed forces tanks might be send in to topple the state government.

Therefore, we hope the Selangor Pakatan will start doing their homework before it is too late. Be extra careful and maintain your alert at any possibilities. These Umno people are really uncivilised and they could resort to anything if they want.

Umno youth leaders to undergo military training

According to the MalaysianInsider report on 9 Aug recently, Umno will be making arrangements to send all its youth leaders including its youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin to undergo military training. The training module would be a commando-type.

Umno vice president and defense minister Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is the core person taking charge of this program in his capacity in the defense ministry.

Well, what was the political motive of providing military training to all these Umno youth leaders? According to some source, the aim of this training is to establish a party militia force in order to provide security and political intelligence to the top party leadership. Apart from that, the said militia force would also be tasked to protect the party’s interest.

This remind us on how Chancellor Adolf Hitler build his Nazi Party’s militia and security unit into a large military force called Sturmabteilung (SA) and the Waffen-SS (SS) which nearly posed a threat to the German regular army, called the Wehrmacht.

The SA forces took up the role of auxiliary police force in Germany while the SS became a party military force consist of group, divisions, regiments, battalions and company levels which was equivalent to the regular army.

During Hitler’s reign over Germany and all over Europe, the SA and SS were widely used to organize ethnic cleansing, wiping out local resistance and create fear amongst the people over its rule and the Nazi empire.

Besides, the SA and SS were also used in Germany itself to curb local opposition against the regime and to put down the German resistance who aimed to assassinate Hitler and topple the Nazi administration.

So, with Umno youth leaders undergoing military and commando trainings, what is the current direction of the party now? To remain in power forever by force! We had seen the experience in Europe during Hitler’s era.

Putting our angers and frustrations into People’s Power

This month July 2009, our entire nation is shocked, irritated, disappointed, ashamed and angry. We demand for straight answers, we wanted to know what and why it happened.

An innocent young man was murdered, a young lady who was supposed to get married has been widowed, an unborn child has been made fatherless and denied his father and a family has been traumatized and handicapped.

We Malaysians want to know the truth and motives that lead to this tragic moment and have all those who are involved in this murder to face the court of law and justice.

Unfortunately, the BN federal government have yet to commence its probe onto the young man’s death openly and transparent. It had already shown signs of failure and its insincerity towards resolving this case.

A magistrate level court has been assigned to conduct an inquest on the death, while the royal commission will be established to only look into the investigative methods and process of the MACC.

These shows tat the BN federal government is not serious in wanting to solve this case with transparency and to serve justice. By having two different entities to investigate two kinds of situation shows that the BN federal government wanted to break up the chain of links between the MACC and the young man’s death.

In the end the results and findings of these two investigative bodies will also be in conflict since the magistrate inquest and the royal commission goes by their separate ways and means to conduct their inquiries.

By then, can you or are we able to see the effectiveness of these two investigation that will sum up their results and findings that will lead to the arrest of those murderers and be brought to justice.

Pakatan Rakyat is not manipulating, provoking and politicizing this issue as claimed by Umno. It is the duty of all members of Pakatan Rakyat to come out to help whoever or any other persons whom they saw being treated in an unjust or inhumane way to seek justice.

It was Umno and its wholly-owned press who are trying to manipulate this case into racial tension by publishing articles supporting the death of the victim, condemning those who came forward to seek justice, it was Umno who is trying to use race sentiments to create unrest and use it to their advantage.

If the magistrate inquest and the royal commission really prove to be ineffective, al of us will be very disappointed, ashamed, and angry but this does not mean we will hit back physically and protest in a violent manner as did Umno all this while.
We are all matured enough to think, analyze, and to make our decisions and judgments, then translate it into votes at the ballot boxes in our next 13th general elections which will be held in three years time. We are very patient and can wait and when the time comes we will remember what the BN had done to our people.

We will participate in the People’s Power to show this BN dictatorship that we already had enough of their nonsense.

Let’s Just Change It!

Plot hatched to topple State Government

Currently rumored around in the Selangor state are allegations that most of the state executive councilors of Pakatan Rakyat are endured in a corrupt practice to swindle state funds and allocation for personal use.

As the result, the MACC efficiently stepped in and round up the entire Selangor state government for questioning. In the middle of the interrogation, one of the state government officials was being found murdered at the Selangor MACC headquarters.

Then a blog surfaced recently claiming that the named state Exco members were part of the corrupt group of high ranking state officials that had murdered Teo Beng Hock in their effort to cover up the alleged activities.

Allegations after allegations, it seems that some parties out are trying to hatch a systematic plot to topple the state government and to take over the administration by force or violence means by inciting wild allegations and pressure against the current state government which is run by Pakatan Rakyat.

The police did nothing while the MACC is doing their best to discredit the state government, while the federal government which is still under the BN pulled its strings from behind scene. It is a very clear and open secret that the BN federal government is gearing up its plot to take over the industrialized state from Pakatan Rakyat after their successful coup d’etat that toppled the Perak state government last February.

It is a very clear fact that the BN-led federal government had wanted to avenge Pakatan Rakyat over their 8 March 2008 general elections grave defeat last year by seeking all kinds of ways and means to destabilize the Pakatan-rule state governments which lead to the collapse of the Pakatan enclave in Perak.

Besides Perak, the BN is also eyeing to destabilize two industrialize states namely Selangor and Penang, where Selangor is currently being targeted for alleged corrupt activities and Penang being embroiled in a minor racial tension following an attempt by an Umno-linked developer to evict and demolish an Indian based traditional village on an acquired land to make way for a mega project which was previously approved by the then BN Gerakan-led state government.

Apart from that, Umno is also pushing hard on Gerakan to launch a large scale assault and allegation against the Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng alleging that he is corrupted and rented a high price residence to make way for a “renovation” of his evacuated official residence Seri Mutiara.

BN had every resource, like the police, the MACC, the military, the judiciary, the intelligence apparatus, the mainstream media and whatever powers they got to engineer their plans to discredit, destabilize and to topple the Pakatan state government if they want to.

But what did the Pakatan Rakyat have? Only the support from the people and our conscience! Pakatan Rakyat had in fact nothing to defend themselves against any onslaught or coup attempt from the BN all-mighty powers.

Therefore, Pakatan Rakyat leaders from PKR, DAP and PAS need sit together to take on a bigger role by establishing a security force of their own.

A tragic death of democracy

The special assistant to a Selangor state executive councillor, Teo Beng Hock’s death caused by MACC is tragically outrageous and the democracy of our nation is now at stake.

The MACC (Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission) had lost all its credibility and the trust of our people and they had also brought shame to our nation. Despite its new entity and upgrade recently, the MACC still practices selective political persecution by working closely with Umno to target and destroy democracy, justice, freedom and equality.

In fact MACC had also became a component member of the Barisan Nasional (BN) answerable only to the Umno top leaders and not the parliament who earlier enacted an Act to established the anti graft commission.

We, the people are watching all over you now. MACC had in fact demonstrated its one-sided policies by practicing selective persecution against members of Pakatan Rakyat for the so-called “abuses” claimed by Umno while corruptions of Umno leaders, ministers and officials are simply ignored and swept right under the carpet for good. This is a total cover-up. Why? Because MACC is part of the BN coalition at the federal level.

While the real culprits (Umno leaders, ministers and officials) are enjoying their lifestyles in big mansions and palaces from the money that they had stolen from our people, our socio-people oriented Pakatan Rakyat elected representatives are often being targeted as they are guilty criminals or terrorists.

With Beng Hock’s death caused by the MACC, we should say that there should be no more trust onto them anymore, no matter what sort of reasons they intend to give or had already given. MACC cannot avoid and run away from the people.

MACC used the taxpayers’ money to advance the interest and the political will of Umno in order to counter the rising popularity and influence of the recently emerged Pakatan Rakyat coalition of opposition parties (PKR, DAP and PAS).

Umno cannot do it by itself via a democratic ways and means and that is why they are using the judiciary, police, military and MACC to curb democracy, justice, equality and limit our freedom as well.

Umno and BN had committed a mass genocide against our people and the nation as a whole. And if we don’t vote them out, they are going to turn our entire nation into a battleground with civil unrest one day.

So, remember, Vote Them Out in the next general elections.

1Malaysia, a BN political ploy

1Malaysia, 1Malaysia is mentioned everywhere now. The federal government under the BN-Umno is now working round the clock every second to ensure that our people are one hundred percent brainwashed into adopting this idea which is seen as a mere political ploy by Umno to cover up their defeat, weaknesses and their racist chauvinistic political strategies.

Just right behind 1Malaysia campaign, BN-Umno is organising a major offensive in Pakatan rule states by clearly encouraging 2Kelantan, 2Kedah, 2 Penang and 2 Selangor policies. Their 2Perak offensive has been successful where the Pakatan state government was overthrown by an Umno-sponsored coup d'etat on early February this year.

Let us look at their 2Kelantan, 2Kedah, 2 Penang and 2 Selangor policies right now. In order to rival the Pakatan state governments, the BN established a Federal Development Department (Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan) in each of these states with a state director taking charge of each of the states. A kindly of "de-facto state government" if you study the BN's intention carefully.

Then down below, the BN also established rival entities to challenge the state appointed offices like the Penghulu which are state appointed, is rival by a Penghulu Persekutuan. That means each of these areas are now having two Penghulus, one is a state while the other is a federal appointed.

Then we go down to Village Security and Development Committees (JKKK) which is also under the states' jurisdiction are now being rivaled by BN's federal appointed Federal Village Security and Development Committees (JKKKP). That means all those kampungs and pekans in the Pakatan rule states now have two kinds of JKKKs administering the respective areas.

What is the BN-Umno trying to prove actually? Wasting public funds and monies to by creating all these additional positions and paying them with allowances just like that? Does the Federal Development Department (Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan), Penghulu Persekutuan and the JKKKP really have any legal statures to rival the states and areas?

This is a very big No! The establishment of Federal Development Department (Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan), Penghulu Persekutuan and the JKKKP are totally against the state constitutions because these positions are de-facto ones and they did not have any legal means to establish at all. These entities are just like the current Perak rebel state government established by Umno in aftermath of their coup d'etat.

Therefore, BN's 1Malaysia is only a ploy to distract our people from their real plans behind which is aimed to split our people, to create disunity, disharmony and to confuse the entire nation.

BN and Umno are the ones who are anti-establishments.

Bad taste in mouth at DAP dinners

In Malaysiakini report, it stated that the police action in breaking up recent DAP dinner functions has got the organisers riled up and slammed the cops for denying them their right to free speech as enshined in the constitution.

First of all, what is wrong with the police and the home ministry? Are they trying to curb the influence of DAP and the other Pakatan Rakyat parties?

It looks like the police force has been Umnonised by the BN-Umno to serve their own interest. No wonder the crime rates are high up today just because the entire force has been mobilised for Umno's sole political agenda.

That is why we really need the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to oversea such power abuses carried out by Umno and its BN component parties.
