| The Cabinet should override Police and AG to establish a RCI into Sarbani Mohamed’s death Posted: 06 Jun 2011 06:42 PM PDT
Lim Kit Siang The Cabinet tomorrow should override Police and Attorney-General to establish a Royal Commission of Inquiry into senior Customs officer Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed's death as in the case of Teoh Beng Hock to restore public confidence not only in national institutions but also Prime Minister and Cabinet. I have no qualms in admitting that I have reservations about the Teoh Beng Hock Royal Commission of Inquiry, particularly over the conduct and strategy adopted by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and its counsel Shafie who could make the outrageous suggestion of Teoh Beng Hock's committing "honour suicide", but Malaysians are currently deprived of a more satisfactory option to get to the bottom of Sarbani's death. I hope to be proven wrong over my reservations over the Teoh Beng Hock Royal Commission of Inquiry. However, the Cabinet's immediate task is to act boldly and justly into the death of Sarbani. Let Najib and his Cabinet Ministers not disappoint Malaysians once again tomorrow. In the past few days, Malaysians have been regaled by Wikileaks highlighting the utter lack of confidence of top government planners and officers in the "political will" of the Prime Minister to "transform" the nation as in implementing the New Economic Model to ensure Malaysia's quantum leap to escape the middle-income trap to become a high-income developed country. Nobody is really surprised by the Wikileaks. Tomorrow Najib and his Cabinet will be facing another test – whether they dare to act boldly and justly to override the Attorney-General and the Police establishing a RCI into Sarbani's death or they are just "sitting ducks" waiting for a change of government in Putrajaya in the next general elections.

| Sex and the nation gets blessings Posted: 06 Jun 2011 03:44 PM PDT In Malaysia it is sex that gets the blessings with the Perak Mufti being the latest to give his approval. It appears that with each passing day it is just sex, sex and more sex please! By J. D. Lovrenciear The world is racing to address its socio-political and economic-environmental challenges. With drastic climatic changes, nations across the globe are busy with ideas and efforts to keep the fields blooming so that its population does not suffer unduly. Nations from East to West and South to North are exploring all frontiers given the dawning global awareness of true democracy and the exponential quest for civil liberties. Today the global war on corruption has been declared and citizens around the world are leading the battle lines from India to China, Mid-East to the West, from the South Pole to the North. But in Malaysia it is sex that gets the blessings with the Perak Mufti being the latest to give his approval. It appears that with each passing day it is just sex, sex and more sex please! As if the infamous Sodomy I and its sequel Sodomy II are not enough to choke the nation, we had to also put up with the well protected scandalous publicity of a sex-video that even boomeranged into the main stream media and today lands on car windscreens and in private mail-boxes too. And now we have the crowning 'Obedient Wives Club' launched with fanfare. This all about being "good in bed" membership of 1,000 Malaysians really steals the prize. Indeed morality is bankrupted in Malaysia but who cares. Can you imagine a nation that Constitutionally places a top priority for religion, today allows sex and sin to take center-stage on its national agenda. Is marriage not sanctified enough to keep the Yin-and-Yang obligations intact that we have to launch a club that teaches "wives to be whores" and to keep husbands from straying? What kind of nation are we becoming with each passing day? Where are our morals anchored? What is our sense of morality? What are we teaching the young? Where is public decency and etiquette? Is this Asian culture? Where are all the principled leaders – why are they so silent about this sex club? And mind you the people for and behind this 'sex club' are going global to recruit more members. And does this not then make it a national concern? Have we lost all shame? Do we have to be insulted by so-called leaders? Honourable Mr. Prime Minister what is your take on this? Or are you saying that this is a small problem. Or are you maintaining that this is the route to Wawasan 2020? And likewise, Dear First Lady of Malaysia, what is your take on this? This question too begs an answer from you for have you not taken that singular responsibility to raise the future generation with sound morals? Why are you keeping silent? The above questions are posed to the Honorable Prime Minister and his spouse - Malaysia's First lady because the Obedient Wives Club hinges on national morals, national integrity and deeply concerns what we are teaching the young.
