Ngeh Koo Ham

I retract and apologise to any Muslim who is offended by my tweet as it was never intended to be so.

It was 1.43 am 17th September 2012, after seeing world news on CNN, BBC and Al Ajazeera showing violent protests in various parts of the world where lives were lost, many injured properties gutted and unrest ensued in response to the video produced by Sam Bacile, and after reading the news in Malaysiakini.com that YB Khairy Jamaluddin has planned to hold massive protest coming Friday (21st Sept 2012) with regard to the same matter that I tweeted the following words

'Khairy wants muslim protest against Same Bacile. For Islam or for his political gains? Are muslims wasting to much time and energy on this?'

In the context of the violent protests round the world and the many demonstrations to be held that I posed the question 'Are muslims wasting too much time and energy on this?' I was wondering if too much time and energy have been spent in response to the 13.5 minutes video produced by a mad man in the name of Sam Bacile. I wanted our society to think deeper with regard to the way we response to any provocation or issue that confronts us. I have been taught and have always emphasized to the young never to react but always to respond.

I want to make it very clear my following stands:-

1. I strongly condemn the video and its producer for belittling the faith/religion of another person and reiterate support for the stand that has been taken by DAP on this issue which is contained in the media statement issued by my party's Secretary General on 16/9/2012.

2. I totally support the rights of a person to hold peaceful demonstrations. In my 23 years of active political involvement, I have organized scores of demonstration in Perak. I was arrested by the police in Bersih 2.0 and was there at Bersih 3.0.

The abovesaid tweet has now been twisted by UMNO/BN to say I belittle Islam. This is a total lie. However, having explain the context in which my question was posed, any Muslim who is still offended by the question I posed, I apologise as that was never intended.

I feel comforted that a leading Muslim cleric Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, head of international union of Muslim Scholars, Encik Fathul Bari Mat Jahaya, the Executive Committee Chairman of Malaysia Young Ulama Assembly and Encik Musa Awang, the President of the Syarie lawyers of Malaysia have also come forward to call for restraint in the response to this video issue.

Registration of Overseas Voter

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 12:58 PM PDT

I had contacted the Malaysian Embassy in Singapore and had been informed by Ms Shima from the consular, that only civil servants, full time students and their spouse are allowed to vote abroad. This is a gross conflict from your statements as publish by The Star.

Dear Tan Sri Dato' Seri Abdul Aziz,

A very good afternoon sir, I refer to your comment published in The Star (dated 19 July) as well as comments by your deputy Datuk Wira Haji Wan Ahmad published in The Star (dated 10 July). Both articles stated comments from your deputy as well as youself, that Malaysians residing overseas upon registering as voters can apply to vote as postal voters.

I had contacted the Malaysian Embassy in Singapore and had been informed by Ms Shima from the consular, that only civil servants, full time students and their spouse are allowed to vote abroad. This is a gross conflict from your statements as publish by The Star (quote: "As Parliament had decided to allow them voting rights, he said the EC had discussed the matter with Wisma Putra and the Immigration Department to ensure only those who had returned home at least once in five years be eligible to vote. Wan Ahmad said upon registration, they must request for postal voting in order to vote in the general election.")

I hope to have a firm and clear answer from your good-self how Malaysians overseas are able to exercise our right to vote. I trust to have your good governance and impartiality to ensure Malaysian constitutional rights are not ignored.

Looking forward to your response soonest.

Thanking you in advance for your quick reply.

Yours sincerely,
Eugene Hooi

Mayra Nazarbayev released

Posted: 19 Sep 2012 12:52 PM PDT

Daniyar Muratov

Early in September, Mayra Nazarbayev, the notorious Kazakhstani fugitive, ex-wife of the Kazakhstan's President's brother, and a would-be mother-in-law to Malaysian Prime Minister's daughter, was released from prison in Dubai, flew to New York and had a court date there on September 4.

According to several credible sources, her surprising and miraculous release was due to the direct and personal involvement by the Malaysian Prime Minister: during his Hadj to Mecca over this summer, which he made in the company Ms. Nazarbayeva's son and his future son-in-law Daniyar, Mr. Najib had extensive meetings with officials from the United Arab Emirates and Kazakhstan to convince them to let the detainee go. Within days after the Prime Minister's hadj, Ms. Nazarbayeva was, indeed, released, and allowed to proceed to her place of residence, New York.

Following her salvation due to the influence of her powerful future relative, Ms. Nazarbayeva has been hard at work reinventing herself as an opposition figure: she has reportedly attempted to contact several leading Kazakhstani opposition leaders in exile and, in the affidavit she has filed with the New York court, has characterized Kazakhstan's political system as lawless and attacked the Kazakhstani President and his brother, her former husband – this after being a member of the President's clan for many years. Herself a wanted fugitive for financial and outright criminal shenanigans, Ms. Nazarbayeva is now decrying Kazakhtan's "lack of an independent judiciary and due process" and its "widespread corruption."

It looks like a substantial portion of the Prime Minister's time and energy is devoted to a family matter involving a fugitive from law – at the expense of all Malaysians.
