| Is Malaysia's monarchy “above politics”? Posted: 31 Jan 2013 04:42 PM PST He said that the Malaysian monarchy "provides a solid foundation" for turning Malaysia into a high-income nation. To be above politics means to not interfere in the political workings of the country and to take no sides in party politics. To act as a foundation to the economy so that Malaysian citizens enjoy high incomes means abstaining from and disapproving the undemocratic use of the public's wealth and resources. So is the prime minister's statement about the Malaysian monarchy true? The evidence paints a different story. A Negri Sembilan prince clarified that the royalty have and do participate in party politics and gave five examples (see ' Response to statements by Tunku Aziz and Anthony Loke ', The Malaysian Insider, 29 Jan 2013). In his biography of Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysian Maverick (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2009), Barry Wain speaks about how the sultans of the nine states had "sometimes played politics, leveraged their positions for financial gain and indulged in fairytale-like extravagance at the public expense". Although the sultans were "not meant to engage in commerce, they were actually so deeply involved that they were resented by the business community". Roger Kershaw's Monarchy in South-East Asia (Routledge, 2001) states that "in return for secure wealth and status", the Malaysian monarchy gives the ruling Malay elite a "more traditional kind of legitimacy" by proxy, in what is said to be an "important but unwritten 'social contract'" in contemporary Malaysia. On this political relationship, associate professor Azlan Tajuddin in Malaysia in the World Economy (1824-2011) (Lexington Press, 2012) claims that when the constitutional article on royal immunity in 1993 was removed, "the real aim" of the government of seeking "full control of the monarchy" was "to ensure that the Malay royalty continued to serve a political function in preserving Malay electoral support for UMNO". The author says it should not be surprising "to find some of the sultans publicly generating support for UMNO or admonishing those who have been critical of the party". He explains: "For the royals, the reward for subservience to the party [UMNO] would also sustain continued enjoyment of unsurpassed advantages... Several members of the the Malay royalty... have found their way into UMNO's circle of crony entrepreneurs... Many royally-run businesses have resulted in numerous bankruptcies... [but] as long as the Malay rulers remained staunch UMNO supporters, they would be assured their businesses stayed operational and are given access to lucrative commercial ventures". Fadzilah Majid Cooke's The Challenge of Sustainable Forests: Forest Resource Policy in Malaysia, 1970-1995 (Allen & Unwin, 1999) notes that between 1987 and 1990 alone, the Pahang royal family was awarded logging concession licenses totalling 18,723.82 hectares (or 187 square kilometres) of forest.

| Ugly ferocious beast in Malaysia Posted: 31 Jan 2013 11:45 AM PST
The Malaysian Insider - Man says cops shot his wife after car chase, demands explanation Pua Bee Chun, a 22-year-old housewife, was killed by police in a similar scenario as suffered by Aminulrasyid Amzah. Her death by trigger happy police has been the latest in a string of unexplained or innocent deaths caused by police.
14-year old Aminulrasyid Amzah Just recently we read of the horrifying death of C Sumugaran who was reported beaten by several men allegedly including police members. His corpse was found handcuffed and with turmeric powder smeared on his face, a description consistent with the alleged brutalities prior to his demise. These have not been rare occurrences but rather the rule to the exception, with Indians bearing the brunt of alleged police brutalities or police crimes. fz.com reported that C Sugumaran's ... case is but the latest in a long line of deaths in custody highlighted in the media. In its written answer in parliament, the Home Ministry stated that there have been a total of 156 deaths in police custody from 2000 to February 2011.
C Sugumaran More than half or a whopping 85 cases have been classified under 'No Further Action'. Twenty-nine cases are still under investigation. In 2007 I posted: Tan Sri Siti Norma Yaakob, the Chief Judge of Malaya, has expressed her deep concerns that 80 deaths in police custody occurred between January 2000 and December 2004 – that's an average of 20 people dying per annum while in police custody, or almost a frightening 2 per month for 4 continuous years - but only 6 inquests, less than 10% of the deaths, were even held. The Chief Judge has been troubled that in some instances, deaths occurred hours after detention. As an example, mechanic Alias Othman was detained at 10 pm on March 22 allegedly for causing a disturbance at a mosque in Bachok, Kelantan, but just a mere 5 hours later, he was very very dead. Siti Norma wants answers why so many people had died under such circumstances. She demanded to know why police had seen it fit to decide that inquests were unnecessary in 22 cases of such deaths. ... In fact, the Criminal Procedure Code specifically makes it mandatory to have inquests into deaths under police custody. Yet the IGP has not addressed this unacceptable omission, a violation of the Criminal Procedure Code. The IGP must be held responsible and accountable for his failure. And that's how we came to know of names like A Kugan, F Udayappan, etc. Their troubled souls still cry out for justice. But how to achieve justice when you have blokes like the former Home Minister Syed Hamid who didn't understand the fundamental principle of criminal laws that a person is innocent until proven guilty. The mafulat moronic minister alluded to A Kugan, a police detainee, as a criminal - see Syed Hamid: Don't see criminals as heroes, cops as demons. (Then) Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang was unsurprisingly incensed by the shameless mindless insensible police minister's stupid attempt to diminish the terrible circumstances leading to Kugan's death in police custody, which the normally recalcitrant AG had even been moved to officially classify as a murder.
In Malaysiakini Something wrong about Syed Hamid Lim blasted the Minister: "Malaysians, like people all over the world, do not regard criminals as heroes and the police as demons." "But when a minister responsible for the police makes a shocking statement of this nature, it reflects that something has gone very wrong both with the police force and the home minister with regard to the most basic of government duties – to keep the people safe and to uphold law and order." Then Lim roared: "Even if Kugan was guilty of the crimes alleged, the police cannot take the law into its own hands and continue to pile up the shocking statistics of deaths in police custody." The current Home Minister is not any better. Each time a death occurred (other than that for Aminulrasyid Amzah) the investigation would closed with NFA (no further action). And even in Aminulrasyid's case, the policeman found guilty of his death was subsequently released on appeal. Read more at: http://ktemoc.blogspot.com/2013/01/ugly-ferocious-beast-in-malaysia.html

| Time to reverse federal squeeze on state powers Posted: 30 Jan 2013 11:19 AM PST A major missing link in political discourse in the run-up to the 13th general election is the debate on decentralisation. The Malaysian polity has been dominated by the process of centralisation or concentration of powers by the federal government for the last 55 years. In the first part of this article, I will explain the process of centralisation under the federal government; in the second part, I will argue the case for decentralisation. Constitutionally, Malaysia is a federation where powers are shared between the central government and state governments. The constitution stipulates the different areas to legislate through the Federal List, State List and Shared List in Articles 74-79. States have legislative powers over very limited matters such as land, forestry and Islam, while the federal government can legislate on almost all matters in areas concerning education, finance, trade and commerce, defence, diplomacy and national security. This has severely clipped state government powers. The Shared List between the state and federal governments covers social welfare, town and country planning, drainage and irrigation and public health. In this respect, federal law will prevail over state law in the event of any inconsistency. Issues of increasing importance, such as water works, land and local government, which used to be under the state governments, have been moved to the Shared List. This was implemented through constitutional amendments. In fact, the constitution has seen 42 amendments involving 650 articles. As a result, constitution scholars have often commented that the spirit of the constitution and federation has been seriously diluted. The centralisation of power is not limited to legislative matters. The federal government has garnered tremendous power through administrative centralisation. Land matters were supposedly under state jurisdiction. However, states are increasingly losing such authority to the federal government.
The federal government also centralised power by means of the privatisation of state assets. For example, local councils used to run the sewerage system. However, when the federal government privatised this service to Indah Water Konsortium, the authority was forfeited and went to a federal-controlled company. Recent water-supply controversies in Selangor, which involve political and commercial interests, can be viewed as a continuous attempt to centralise power by the federal government. Water has always been under state jurisdiction. In Selangor, the federal government intervened through the National Services Water Commission, which is chaired by a federal minister. The previous BN state government lost part of its power by privatising water assets to Syabas, a company controlled by the federal government. The Penang government has been lucky to avoid such a fate because a state-controlled entity operates the waterworks. Financial constraints State governments also face fiscal constraints. They can only collect revenue from quit rent, land premiums and timber or oil royalties. T Typically state governments spend less than RM1 billion in the annual budgets. The federal government's budget, however, has ballooned to more than RM240 billion annually. States are not allowed to collect any other form of taxes and this has severely curtailed their capacity to do more for the rakyat. The state governments in the past were able to guarantee loans for state-linked companies. Now, the federal government has prohibited such power, further clipping the financial wings of state governments. Under such dire constraints, state governments are in no position to resist the temptation to give up some of their powers in exchange for monetary grants. A case in point was how state governments lost their local government authority to the federal government, one step at a time. Read more at: http://hornbillunleashed.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/40956/

| Will Hindraf and Indians fall for the BN’s election bait? Posted: 30 Jan 2013 11:16 AM PST The recent lifting of the ban on Hindraf has resulted in a flood of commentary about how this and other measures undertaken by Najib Razak and the Barisan Nasional government to recapture Indian support through various conciliatory measures may impact on Hindraf and the larger Indian population (see here ). The consensus among many commentators is that the BN already has the Indian vote in the bag and that the mending of relations with Hindraf and the opening up of the national purse strings to address Indian shortfalls in education and economy – even if in a limited way – will be sufficient to bring the critical Indian vote in many federal and state constituencies back into the BN fold. This rush to judgement is not only premature; it is most probably wrong. This is because it underestimates the sense of deprivation, injustice and anger felt by the Indian community which has arisen from four decades of BN-sanctioned institutionalized racism and discrimination. It also fails to take into account the passion and commitment that has driven Waytha Moorthy and his Hindraf colleagues who have pursued, with much personal sacrifice, the cause of equal rights and opportunities for all Malaysians, especially for Malaysian Indians. Ever since their rally in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 25, 2007 and the 2008 elections in which they were one of the major catalysts for the political tsunami that occurred, Hindraf leaders and supporters have been victims of a BN campaign to demonize, persecute and wipe out the movement. Surely, Hindraf will be the first to see this ban removal – politically timed on the eve of Thaipusam – for what it is: a political ploy to win Indian votes rather than a change of heart towards the movement and its stand on Indian rights.
Despite the paucity of official statistics, there is sufficient quantitative and qualitative evidence to show that poor Indians as well as those from middle-class backgrounds have fallen behind their non-Indian counterparts (with the exception of Orang Asli) because of racial discrimination, bureaucratic red tape and lack of access to governmental resources. There has been little evidence so far of fundamental changes in national policies affecting minority communities. The hard reality which Hindraf is acutely aware of is that the Home Minister can very well impose another ban on the movement once the elections are over and that the treasury and other civil service doors are shut again on Indians when the movement is no longer seen as useful in Umno's effort to retain political supremacy. The commentators who argue that Hindraf should see the election concessions to Indians as representing real change as well as those who are predicting that Hindraf will align itself with BN may well believe that it is in the best interest of Hindraf and the Indian community to accept whatever benefits or sweeteners are thrown to the Indian electorate. They may be convinced that challenging Umno's political hegemony and the racist principles upon which this hegemony is founded is futile. Better to make hay while the sun shines and to be a small time beneficiary to the Umno big money and huge political clout juggernaut than to be a principled dissident. |
| Pakistani gets countryman blue IC in 20 days and NRD made Indian national a citizen using false SD Posted: 29 Jan 2013 04:40 PM PST A Pakistani comrade by the name of Ikram told Prabesh that he (Ikram) could make this possible for a mere RM330, Prabesh told the royal commission of inquiry on Sabah immigrants today. Prabesh then filled up a yellow National Registration Department form, placed his thumb print on the document and submitted it to Ikram together with eight photographs.
Prabesh said 'yes', and added that the date of issue of the identity card was backdated to Nov 16, 1985. The photograph on the IC was that of his, he added. "I wanted to use my own name, but Ikram said this could not be done. I didn't choose my birth place either… he listed it for me as 'Tawau'," Prabesh said. He then went to vote in the 1999 Sabah state election, in the constituency of Likas, but was not allowed to. "I didn't know that I needed to register first," he said. In a limbo now In 2011, Prabesh said, he tried to change his identity card to a new one, but his IC was confiscated by the NRD. Asked if he knew of a syndicate selling identity cards and that he may have fallen victim to it, he replied: "I don't know". However, Prabesh said, he was now in limbo, since the confiscation of his IC. The witness said he had started a new life in the state, marrying a Sabahan in 2002 and they now have two children. "I just want my identity card back. If it is not valid, then at least make me a permanent resident," Prabesh added. Read more at: http://hornbillunleashed.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/40990/

| Where Did BN get my personal particulars from? Posted: 28 Jan 2013 11:17 AM PST Today the 26th of January is the Indian Republican Day, it is also Australia day. It is the birthday of the famous actor Paul Newman too, and a host of other famous people if you google the 26th of January you'll find Anthropologists of world fame and many others, but 26th of January is also my birthday and you may be wondering why I am telling you all this.
Kim Poo Teh D.S.S.A.,P.J.K.,J.P.,DipM. MBA, MCIMFounder, Managing Director, Director and Chairman of Remuneration committee, Resintech Bhd CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS*Lot 3 & amp; 5 Jalan Waja 14Telok Panglima Garang, Selangor 42500 Malaysia Phone: 60 3 3122 2422 Fax: 60 3 3122 2411 Aha, now I had a phone number so I called the number and I asked for Dato Dr. Teh Kim Poo, the lady answering the call told me Dato was not available as he was overseas, so I asked her if she knew how he got my personal details she of course did not know. Well when I am angry you can tell it by the sound of my voice on the phone, many of you who know me know that for sure, and this girl who does not know me was no exception either, when I gave her the number on which I received the SMS, she told me that, that, was not his number and gave me his business number but warned me he was overseas. I replied, "I feel like making an overseas call right now." I called him and he answered. I asked if it was Dato Teh and he replied, "yes." I asked if he sent me a birthday greeting, and he, sounding rather happy and proud replied, (this is exactly what he said), "yes I did, in fact everyday I send out thousands of birthday greetings, New Year greetings, festival greetings to people in Klang, via SMS." I am from Klang and as long as I can remember no MCA man has even said hi, to me on the streets, so why would this Dato want to go to all that trouble to get my personal details and send me an unsolicited SMS, well I think the reasons are rather obvious. He has infringed on my privacy, from where did he get my personal particulars, does he not know that he has infringed my privacy, I wonder what are the other particulars he has about me. Well if he came to my house and said, "tolong undi BN" I may not have got so angry, the worst thing I would do under such circumstances is drive him put of my compound, the best is If and only if I liked what he said I may undi him but not the BN, but to go and get my personal particulars, which I have not given to UMNO, MIC or for that matter MCA or any other Barisan Nasional Party is too much and I need to know how he got it. Ya, he had my phone number, he knew my birthday, and he he was quite proud of this, this man who is the founder of Public Listed Company had all this, and I wanted to know who gave it to him, he shoudl ahve more sense not the Cow sense the BN has. So I asked politely, that is as politely as I could ask considering I was furious, more so furious with a BN man, and more so MCA man, and he did not reply. So furious that these people were strange bed fellows with one former Prime Minister who insulted our Citizenship recently, who illegally gave away citizenship to foreigners who now become Bumiputras whilst we remain second class citizens and this party had not stood up to this man, so why vote for such traitors? I was really annoyed, I told him he was a nobody, and that he was confounded idiot working for other idiots, and that getting access to the personal information of thousands of people in Klang is a serious matter and asked again how got it. All he said was, "okay, okay lah, sorry, okay lah" and he switched off his phone. The only people who have that kind of information are the government departments and the telecos. Now I need to know which government department or which telco gave him these details? I want to find out, who are the people in the government giving out personal details to members of political parties? This is something we all need to know, because I am told by my friends they received Thaipusam greetings, they received Birthday greetings, and they received even Ponggol greetings, Chinese New Year is around the corner and many of you are going to receive this unsolicited mail from these running dogs. This information could not have become available from an MCA register, I am not a Chinese the nearest I go is my wife is Chinese so how did he get my details? I was not born in a Chinese maternity home, I did not go to a Chinese School, so how did this MCA bloke get it? They can't even have got from the MIC, I am no MIC member, I fail to qualify because I do not speak Tamil so where did it come from? I am not Muslim, I am a staunch Christian - a Catholic, so I can't claim to be Melayu like Mahathir Mohammed Bin Iskandar Kutty, and become an UMNO member, so where did he get my personal details? This only goes to show how desperate the BN has become, and how they misuse the trust the people have placed on them that they can go the extent of infringing on our privacy without blinking an eye and no tfear the consequences.

| Posted: 28 Jan 2013 10:55 AM PST Perhaps their rejoicing has been premature. I'll give my take shortly after we recall why he has been removed from PAS Majlis Syura. Malaysiakini reported (extracts):
Nasahrudin & Najib in Mecca Nasharudin was once a leading figure in PAS until news reports claimed that he was trying to convince party leaders to forge closer ties with arch-rivals Umno due to religious reasons, instead of secularist DAP and PKR. On several occasions, Nasharudin had attempted to drive a wedge between PAS and its Pakatan Rakyat allies, such as by claiming that DAP had prayed for the formation of a Christian state after the Sarawak state election in 2011. Irking party members further was Nasharudin's apparent cosy ties with Umno. He had accompanied Prime Minister and Umno president Najib Abdul Razak abroad a few times, most recently to Gaza.
(left to right) Palestinian PM Haniyeh, Najib, Nasharudin Look, I opine if it had not been Nasharudin it could and would have been Hasan Ali, Zulkifli Nor, or a host of other PAS blokes who prefer to be pally buddy with their political foe, UMNO, rather than their mainly non-Malay political ally DAP (or PKR, but definitely the former), so there's no point in blasting Nasharudin because that would not help understand where he has been coming from.
To understand the mentality of Nasharudin and people of his ilk, it may be helpful if we pull up the UMNO Ketuanan Melayu mantra of raja, bangsa, agama dan negara. Note that I have place negara last as it's my personal belief very few of the UMNO or PAS worry about it, unless they can argue that negara refers to an only UMNO-Malay country. Okay, maybe if pressed, they would probably rationalize that once the first three, namely, raja, bangsa dan agama have been duly defended and upheld, negara would automatically be taken care of. We could argue over this all day until Shahrizat's missing cows do the impossible and come home, and still won't agree. Anyway, I opine the so-called Ketuanan Melayu struggle is all about power and its control, and of course the associated and most important privileges and benefits that come along with it. Only in the most exceptional circumstances would UMNO's Ketuanan Melayu be really about bangsa.
Examining raja, bangsa dan agama, this mantra can be further reduced or crystallized into just one word, either bangsa or agama because for a Malay-Muslim, these two factors are indivisible. What about raja then? In my opinion, raja and the sanctity of the institution would be an intrinsic component of Malay culture and Malay psyche, and again cannot be separated from bangsa. Thus UMNO can yell bangsa or if it likes, agama, though currently the latter has assumed far greater importance than the former because (a) it demonstrates to the Heartland that UMNO is (still) the intrepid defender of Islam, (b) it allows UMNO priests to issue fatwas to its political advantage, and (c) it drives a lovely wedge between PAS and DAP, or even PAS and Anwar because the latter's stand on the Allah word has deeply riled many PAS people. Incidentally, on this I must compliment Anwar for assuming a firm Pakatan approach than his usual tap dancing self.
* in case some of you may question why I compliment Anwar on this when I have been consistently against the Christian Church using the Allah word. And that's because they are separate issues. My stand against the Church has been based on my belief (or suspicion) that the Church's arguments has been obdurately implausible and thus indefensible (and I provided all my reasons for my stand), whereas my compliment for Anwar on the same issue has been about his firm stand on an already agreed Pakatan policy even though I personally disagree with that policy. I suspect PAS' volte-face has been due to one of two reasons, or even both - it fears that as an Islamic party it's losing grounds as well as its Islamic credentials to UMNO on the Allah word controversy or it has been a coup d'état by its party's Majlis Syura (many of its members other than perhaps Pak Haji Nik Aziz have been uncomfortable working with a secular DAP), or both. Even PAS party president Mat Sabu has no choice but to toe the Majlis Syura line, whence he did a belakang pusing on the use of the Allah word by the Church, a 180-degrees departure from his earlier stand which indicates an ominous portent of things to come if Malaysia is ever ruled by PAS.
I had warned in my post PAS - from Progressive to Pythonic that once Malaysia has been established as an Islamic State, we can forget about Westminster democracy, where any of its pseudo-democracy and associated institutions under Islamic rule will automatically come under the control of a supreme, non-questionable, non-challengeable (a la the fatwas of the Kedah MB), and totally dictatorial religious Majlis ... ... and as mentioned by RPK in his post Friday prayers are NOT compulsory, said the Mufti, the process in an Islamic environment is not democratic and not questionable even by logic, reason, precedent or rules.
But the Malay nationalists in PAS (and that's who some of them really are), much as they believe in bangsa, can only scream agama because politically it has only the religious warrant, unlike UMNO which can switch flexibly (or unscrupulously) from bangsa to raja to agama to negara and even to 1Malaysia as its clarion call of the day without any qualms or embarrassment, wakakaka. Yes, more than a few PAS members possess a similar belief in UMNO's Ketuanan Melayu because the ethnocentric Devil is still ensconced in our political-social-cultural DNA.

After Pakatan Rakyat took over Penang, for example, Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng proposed to convert existing landed leasehold houses to freehold status in an attempt to increase quit rent income for the state government. This proposal hit a snag at the federal level. The National Land Council, chaired by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, rejected it.
he federal government collects all taxes and the exorbitant Petronas oil money to fund development and operations.
Many from the minority communities are well aware that the BN has a long history of sweet, and often, double talk. Indians especially have been victims of BN's unfulfilled promises made election after election ever since the country obtained its independence. In the past 50 years of Alliance and Barisan rule – and despite MIC participation in the two coalitions – the Indian position in economy and society has worsened steadily by whatever indicator of socio-economic and political development is used.
"Is it true that in 20 days Ikram returned and gave you an identity card with the name 'Mohd Sharif Sakar' ?" RCI conducting officer Jamil Aripin asked the witness at the Kota Kinabalu court complex.
