| MCMC censors websites, under request from the US government to stop Wikileaks network of file ... Posted: 09 Jun 2011 02:32 PM PDT By Yong Ming Hui If everyone's been reading news on the net lately, we all know that the MCMC has been directing ISPs to censor P2P and many many other file sharing and hosting websites. Malaysia, in general, has no interests to ban these sites. There're many other sites worth banning, especially those obvious porn web sites. But we're not here to talk about the obvious banning of porn web sites. The Malaysian government is under the order/direction of the US government. If you've read recently, US government legislated new laws to ban P2P and other file sharing/hosting websites. This also means, censorhip of Malaysia-Today could soon be on the horizon. Global governance is declaring war on freedom. Raja Petra is also right when he posted information that Najib is a Freemason. http://www.malaysia-today.net/archives/archives-2008/13997-manifesto-dato-seri-mohd-najib-tun-razak The Malaysian government not only works with these war mongering evil cult of bankers and luciferian worshippers. It is a matter of time before the wealth of Malaysians get stripped away with USA style ponzi financial schemes. Najib Abdul Razak, the Ahli Kehormat Freemason, will sell out this country to the Zionist Freemason-run global government. Their handiwork now starts with MCMC banning P2P/torrent sites and soon to be targeting Wikileaks and Malaysia-Today. Connect the dots, and you will see there's a war against humanity going on... |
| Bersih 2.0 triggers early fever for UMNO Posted: 09 Jun 2011 02:25 PM PDT Bersih 2.0 is asking for justice, fairness and transperancy in the execution of the elections. But UMNO is asking that its everyday business interests should not be disrupted. By J. D. Lovrenciear The planned Bersih 2.0 rally for July 9 has already set a running fever for UMNO. This is diagnosed from the numerous police reports being lodged by UMNO followers so early. The rational for those from UMNO is that the rally would 'disrupt businesses'. And that very telling rational is also not doing any favor for their leaders within UMNO. Why? Simply because what Bersih 2.0 stands for and what UMNO reps are asking for clearly indicates that the very fundamentals within UMNO are not rightly placed as has always been claimed by the opposition members and various NGOs as well as the rakyat. Bersih 2.0 is asking for justice, fairness and transperancy in the execution of the elections. But UMNO is asking that its everyday business interests should not be disrupted. Now which is a nobler intent – self interest and daily profiteering or long term fundamentals that are consistent with democracy and good for the whole nation? It would have earned UMNO millions of kudos if their reps maintained that the authorities must safeguard the peaceful protest march so that both protestors and business operators at the protest venue are not adversely affected. In maintaining so they would have actually helped their business people whom they claim to represent. Given the hundreds of thousands present, can you imagine how much and how many business operators would profit from the captive market? Unfortunately, the advisors of UMNO must be totally blinkered. Or they cannot help thinking inside the box. And so the Bersih 2.0 rally has set a fever running inside UMNO. In all likelihood, the other component members of UMNO within the BN fold would jump the plank too. And soon the PDRM will compound UMNO's vulnerability further by issuing a stern warning to the organizers and threaten to arrest those taking part in the rally. And like it or otherwise, there will be mammoth road blocks all over the country. It is the same old strategy hatched and re-hatched. And in the end, instead of helping BN and UMNO resusitate, the members themselves are only digging a deeper grave for their parties. It beats the daylight out of many thinking citizens who are asking why can't the leaders and followers of BN think strategically and spin the Bersih 2.0 rally to their advantage and thereby fortify the quicksand beneath their feet? In fact even PDRM can salvage its battered image by saying that they will ensure that the protest is held peacefully and any mischief maker at the scene will be nabbed by our world-class SB personnel. That would immediately absolve all their past sins and sins of omissions instantly. Just imagine what the world would be like if the Egyptians, Tunisians, and others talked like UMNO each time people wanted to hold a peaceful protest? Or where would India be if the 'Salt march' led by Gandhi was banned? Or what would Indonesia be if the public outcry was killed off in the bud? Sigh!

| Posted: 09 Jun 2011 02:16 PM PDT This exactly is the problem with Malaysian work culture. It permeates the entire government machinery and today even some private organizations are guilty of taking piggy-back rides on company / organizational expenditure and time. By J. D. Lovrenciear The public is asking if the PM and his First Lady have abused their positions vis-a-vis attending their child's wedding while having gone to Kazakstan on official business. Meanwhile many have rushed to rescue the PM and his First Lady giving evasive and agitated explanations and even sneering at the very question that the rakyat are asking. What makes it all a debacle is the way the rebuttals are forthcoming from the defenders of the PM and his First Lady. The point of contention is very simple really. The logic is when you go to a foreign land on official business, the rakyat pay for the trip and expenses included. It is approved because you are doing your job given to you by the rakyat. You complete the assignment, come back and report on the success. And the rakyat will sing praises for you. But when you go on official business and along the loop also attend a family function - in this case your child's wedding, and then return on an all expenses paid for flight, it certainly raises ethical questions. The right thing to do is that you go on official business at national cost, return, then apply for leave and go off to do your private thing and return when the leave expires. And that you do at your private expense and in your private and personal capacity as Mr. Najib and Madam Rosmah. In fact, if you place a separation between official duties and personal matters you would not even have the wedding fixed to coincide with your business calender. That is the way how it works for all rakyat who are employed or conduct their official businesses. Business and personal matters do not mix! But when you sambung sambung sambil buat kerja, ahh that becomes an ethical issue. Got it? To make matters worse, the entire entourage who also happened to be on the band wagon of official business and happened to be also attending the wedding 'by the way' are also guilty of mixing duties with personal social obligations. This exactly is the problem with Malaysian work culture. It permeates the entire government machinery and today even some private organizations are guilty of taking piggy-back rides on company / organizational expenditure and time. They are guilty of flying to some destination for work related matters, extend their leave and continue to enjoy a seemingly 'well earned' holiday and then return on company paid return ticket. To some Malaysians this is smart thinking. They do not realize how unethical they have been. They bat not an eyelid at this compromised virtue. And so BN will accuse the rakyat of making a fuss about a 'simple' matter. But this is no simple matter. It involves the Number One of the nation. In fact if you study the nine challenges enshrined in Wawasan 2020, this 'tumpang' mindset and attitude runs foul of at least four of the nine challenges. Then how on earth are we going to be a world class citizen and nation? Should the PM and his First Lady not be setting the highest moral code of behavior and examplary ethical values so that the entire nation can emulate and transform its compromised values?

| FLOM gets into the news yet again Posted: 09 Jun 2011 02:11 PM PDT By J. D. Lovrenciear Why does Prime Minister Najib's current wife always get into the news circuit for all the wrong reasons and all the time? Indeed it is mind boggling. Could it be that she was born under an unlucky star and the rakyat are absolutely wicked devils? If she carries out a task, there is a flaw. If she opens her mouth - be it in response to a global-scale disaster or at some local political rally, she fouls up easily. If she goes on an overseas trip she trips all the time. And now even her million-Ringgit handbag has riled up the struggling rakyat. When and where in the five-dacade history of Malaysia did we witness the Prime Minsiter's wife facing so much of criticism and ridicule? Yes, none. And so why is Rosmah seen to be saying and doing all the wrong things and on that account also not seen to be saying and doing all the right or widely accepted things? Take the branded handbag that Malaysia Today has made a leak on. The point is the rakyat never issued any edict that the PM's wife must only carry a Petaling Street fake bag. They never said that our officials' wives must dress like a pauper. In fact throughout our history, the rakyat had always praised a VVIP for his or her adorable dress sense and mannerisms. But why, when Rosmah walks the corridors of the wealthy, powerful and famous, the rakyat always cannot miss a pot shot at her? Well the First Lady and all her pretending loyalists can dismiss all these as 'oh just ignore the stupid Malaysians okay'. But surely one cannot ignore the truth, that is, none of our past Primie Ministers' wives were so despiced and mauled by the rakyat. None of them earned any brick brats whatsoever even when it came to the choice of dress, jewelry and accessories including handbags. But the same is not with the case of Najib's current wife. Sad. Very sad. Not sad for Najib. Not sad for Rosmah. But truly very sad for the nation. But you see there are and there always will be people like the Marcos'. Fortunately the Filipinos knew when to say enough is enough.
