Posted: 08 Oct 2011 07:03 PM PDT By Totalecology In the snooker game of politics, Spin Dr. Mahatir Devil with a single stroke of the Hudud cue stick, has helplessly thrown the fragile cluster of Opposition Coalition billiard balls into disarray. In a smoke screen thrown off by the media to distract an unsuspecting public, the PAS Man & his DAP Son is seen with a Hudud Donkey. And now Pakatan big guns meet and work out a treaty!!! Least we forget, the citizens count on Pakatan to support the people, not to support views for or against Hudud. This vertical chain of command smacks of feudalism. " The road to hell is paved with good intentions', but under Pakatan 'benevolence', they will remain children forever. This is how the masses are forever suppressed. For real Democracy to work, the horizontal way is to ask the Kelantan people in true humility , what do you want? What is Hudud? This is a foremost question on Malaysian minds, which even Socrates would find it hard to answer, others pretend. As on record, JAIS so far is unable to come up with a policy statement, perhaps Silence is golden. If indeed Shariah Law is God's law, how come the One and Only Allah deem it fit for Kelantan Muslims and for other he subs it to Satan, which in this case, BN ? We can only define Hudud in Malaysian context as the underbelly of PAS, its softest spot, where at the Party promises milk for its constituencies. Yes, its true, the milk of Divine Love can adjudicate all conditions, but who is so empowered with a heart of undefiled love minus the attitude of bigotry, prejudice and racism ? The zealots are bent on cleaning up our cups and plates on the outside while its contents remain filthy still, will make a law unto themselves, while denying our Prophets the fire of their words to clean first the contents within. DAP just don't believe in such crude Medieval exposure and UMNO just don't care, and would rather see Kelantan showcase a failed state. The Nons are unable to jive into this scene, perceiving it to be an offensive fondling of private parts, be it promiscuity, debauchery, theft or trafficking (which hudud don't recognize as crimes). Jokes aside, Hudud would only be as useful as a cup of water in a thunderstorm as they seek recourse to other form of jurisdiction, either to balance past life karma by doing good works OR the violet flame invoked to transmute sin. Politics in the rough and tough road. DAP is now accused of sweeping Hudud under PAS carpet. Before the Opposition gets further decapitated by the venom injected at this late hour towards a political genocide. A mere change of clothes to suit each occasion cannot save Pas especially when it is rigged from within, and many a ravenous wolf wear sheep clothing, will have a field day with their band of hired assassins. Not a liberal Malay leader but a Bomoh is needed with the fire to exorcise demons and compel foul spirits it to flee from the Pas camp. The cue is now in Nik Aziiz's hand. The honest public want to know both sides of the story and not to believe in Chua Soy Lek alone. To hear the word is from the horse's mouth. People listen, tongues wag as he tries to give it a forward spin, in unison or reaction, win or lose. Well, good luck to him. Nik Aziz is the supreme icon of PAS and the face of Pas is Nik. Without Nik, PAS as it is will not exist, and without PAS, Hudud remains an empty cup. The portrayal of an Islamic Eldorado which Nik Aziz and Nasarudin so idealized and idolized is no where found in any part of the world other than in their own state. If Hudud Law have some merits, it is not a cure all for society, and care must be taken that the medicine is not worse than the disease. Hudud is already an old invention, but care must be taken not to open a Pandora box simply for the sake of some ancient treasures locked in. Just as with any other Party in post Mahathir Malaysia, this is a new generation of voters. Unless Pas reinvent itself before the GE to stay relevant, even in Kelantan, it will be too late thereafter. With Prominent Faces of our Future, like Nasarrudin and Ibrahim Ali to champion the Muslim/Malay agenda, they must not escape being groomed before they don the robes of the prophet. We hope the Opposition is smart enough to seize this opportunity to turnaround the situation and not unnecessarily suffer collateral damage in the hands of BN ridicule. Here lies a great opportunity to rally the rank and file of the rakyat and forward an Exponential Revolution in the thinking mentality of Malaysians that will counteract Universal Ignorance. |
BUDGET 2012 : Pakatan Rakyat VS Pakatan Rakyat Posted: 08 Oct 2011 06:52 PM PDT Oleh Shen Yee Aun Masyarakat Malaysia perlu lebih peka terhadap permainan politik yang cuba dimainkan oleh pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat. Hal ini disebabkan tiada bajet yang sempurna di dunia ini dan apa sahaja bajet yang akan dibentangkan oleh Perdana Menteri akan ada juga serangan yang berbeza daripada pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat. Kini kita lihat bagaimana mereka sebenarnya menyerang antara satu sama lain tanpa disedari mereka. |
You mess with the Sultan at your own peril Posted: 08 Oct 2011 01:16 AM PDT
Dear Pete, After reading my piece in your website about Rosmah's presence in the closed door meeting between Najib and his aides in the Ministry of Finance prior to the presentation of 2012 Budget in Parliament, a veteran Johor UMNO friend of my Dad sent me an e-mail about the case of the Sultan of Johor being offended by Lim Guan Eng's speech. The gist of his very long e-mail summarised as follows: According to this friend, the Johor Royal Family has always stayed above politics and hates to be dragged into it, and the present Sultan has made this point crystal clear. It is the Johor UMNO that is always looking for opportunities to get the Royal Family involved to lend credence to their ulterior motives. UMNO has not learned their lesson after what happened during the Constitution crisis during the Mahathir–Iskandar era. Starting from the north, Kedah, Mahathir's home-state, UMNO organised rallies to gain support for Mahathir's proposals to amend the Constitution shaving off the powers of the Rulers, specifically that of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for Dr M feared that the incoming Agong (which was to be Sultan Iskandar of Johor) would not give assent to bills passed by the Mahathir-controlled Parliament. When the rally came down south to Johor, who was to speak up for UMNO but Johorean Musa Hitam, the DPM then. Musa was obliged to speak and he did. His Highness Sultan Iskandar was fuming mad, and he ordered that all photos of Mahathir and Musa be taken down from all State Government offices. At a function in Saujana (the Johor MB's residence), the Sultan purposely arrived late to make Mahathir wait, a lesson Dr M never forgets. Then came the opportunity for the Sultan to teach 'this kurang ajar' anak Johor, Musa, a lesson. During a Friday prayer session at the Mosque in Kg Baru, KL, TV3 filmed this incident when Sultan Iskandar told Musa to apologise before Allah and the congregation. "The noble Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Caesar answer'd it," said Shakespeare. If Guan Eng had in fact uttered those words, Guan Eng has paid for it by publicly apologising to His Highness Sultan Johor, even though the Tuanku did not insist on it but was demanded by DPM Muhyiddin. DPM Muhyiddin knew what happened to Musa Hitam at the mosque in Kg Baru, KL, and he is very careful now to not step on the Sultan's toe. This sly fox is just waiting for Najib to make a mistake, for he also knows that Najib has been snubbing the Sultan -- probably because of some mega-projects in Johor which Rosmah wants for her cronies, but the Sultan disagrees. The Sultan is fully aware of Rosmah's unsatisfiable and boundless greed (maybe in her desire to overtake Daim Zainuddin in wealth). Muhyiddin is praying and playing to the Sultan that His Highness might explode and expose Rosmah's scheme of things to pave the way for Muhyiddin to move into whatever projects Rosmah is after, and also move into Najib's seat in Putrjaya. Don't forget, Johor State is the bastion of UMNO, which can tell Najib to go and fly a kite. It is common knowledge to Singaporeans that whenever they are in Johor Bahru they are targets for highway robbers, kidnappers, extortionists, etc., because of their vehicle registration plates. Big-time Ah Longs and 4D gambling syndicates operate in Johor Bahru. Before Singapore legalised horse racing punting within Singapore, all the bookies operated from JB. There are more money changers in JB than any Malaysian town, KL included, to cater for the gamblers rather than the shoppers. Obviously, the Home Minister, who is also a Johorean, has not been directing his policemen to get rid of these menaces from the Royal Town, and the Sultan being the Head of Islam in Johor, is not amused at all. We have heard rumours that Hisham is now aligned to the DPM and is forsaking his own cousin; politics at play. To all who dares to engage the displeasure of His Royal Highness Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar, let it be known that the same fate that befell Tun Musa Hitam awaits the idiotic challenger! As for Rosmah, her pedigree, background and education are thousands of miles behind those of the Consort to the Sultan of Johor, Raja Zarith Sofia except perhaps in money and branded handbags. J. ONG
