My son broke down and cried ......

You better watch out:

The times they are a-changin'

My lawyer went to meet my son in the Sungai Buloh Hospital today and it is confirmed that my son slashed his wrist and swallowed a razor blade. My son broke down and cried while telling my lawyer that he can no longer stand the physical and mental torture that he is being subjected to and that he wants ‘out’. And the only way out to him is to end his life. This is my response to the Malaysian authorities who are using my son to punish me.

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you

Is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin'

Or your gona sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics

Who prophesise with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin'

For the loser now

Will later to win

And the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't cha stand in the doorways

Don't you block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will he who has stalled

There's a battle outside

And it’s ragin'

And it'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin'.

Come along mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't you dare criticise

What you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

They’re beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'

Please get out of the new one

If you cannot lend a hand

For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

And you know the slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is

Rapidly fadin'

And the first one now

Will later be last

Coz the times they are a-changin'.

Yes they are changing.

Come gather 'round folks

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you

Is worth savin'

Then you better watch out

Or you gona sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin'

For the times they are a-changin'

Coz the times they are a-changin'.

You better watch out

You better watch out.

1-Malaysia's "Three Monkeys"

The Federal Court:- An Illusion of Justice & Hope!!

"A Thief! A Thief!
My Kingdom For a Thief!!"


“This decision is binding on the state government and the federal government.”
~Cecil Abraham, counsel for Zambry
-

=====================================

Before I write anything else - allow me to say that I believe that Nizar was being foolish to hope that the courts would dispense justice. As I said elsewhere, if the Nizar wins in this case, then the stolen jet engines must be in my backyard. As expected, the court came up with some silly excuse for a judgement - which Gani Patail lauds as being rooted in "very, very sound reasoning".
So let's move on ....

Malaysia was built based on the Westminster parliamentary system of governance by the founding fathers.
According to the Westminster parliamentary procedure, governments often respond to a vote of no confidence by calling for a confidence motion. Parliament passes or rejects the vote. Typically, when a vote of no confidence passes parliament, the government official must either resign or seek a parliamentary dissolution or general election.

Malaysia Boleh/ 1-Malaysia or whatever you call it, however, says otherwise. They say that that the voice of the parliament is irrelevant - and there is no need for a vote of no confidence.
We had today, the judgement in the case of Zambry vs, Nizar - to determine the rightful MB of Perak. It was for all practical purposes a test of the Constitutional Democracy which Malaysia was to live by. However, it appears that the Federal court doesn't seem to believe that we are a parliamentary democracy - that authority is vested in parliament as in a Constitutional Democracy.
I have not read the full judgement but it was reported on twitter that the Judge said:-
"There is no requirement in State Constitution which requires vote of no-confidence to be taken in State Assembly"
"Federal Court notes that test that Nizar had lost confidence of majority of assembly had been satisfied at special palace meeting."
Aha - so all they need is a meeting at a kopi-tiam, and get the head of state to sanction their choice. The court says that the constitution doesn't stipulate that that one is necessary. Apparently the judge said that Nizar is obliged to resign according to article 16 (6).
Okay then - let me see what it says:-

  • Nothing in Article 16(6) says the sultan is involved in ascertaining a loss of the majority's confidence in the assembly.
  • Article 16(7) expressly states that the menteri besar does not hold office at the sultan's pleasure. The sultan therefore has no power to dismiss or direct a menteri besar to resign.
  • Article 16(5) also states that the executive council, which the menteri besar heads, is collectively responsible to the legislative assembly.
~TNG

Strange .... but just as it doesn't say that a vote of confidence has to be taken, it also doesn't say that the Menteri Besar holds office at His Highness's pleasure or has to resign - in fact it states quite clearly that he is an exception from the ruler's "pleasure". It only states that the Executive Council does & has to. I really wonder how the judge came to such a conclusion- that the MB has to resign!!!
It seems that they demand specifics when it suits them, and they do not understand the principles of a parliamentary democracy or even why there is generality in constitutional law .....
***********************************
“All persons (individuals, institutions and government) are subject to law.
Supremacy of the law is a fundamental concept in the western democratic order. The rule of law requires both citizens and governments to be subject to known and standing laws.
The supremacy of law also requires generality in the law. This principle is a further development of the principle of equality before the law. Laws should not be made in respect of particular persons. As Dicey postulated, the rule of law presupposes the absence of wide discretionary authority in the rulers, so that they cannot make their own laws but must govern according to the established laws.
Those laws ought not to be too easily changeable. Stable laws are a prerequisite of the certainty and confidence which form an essential part of individual freedom and security. Therefore, laws ought to be rooted in moral principles, which cannot be achieved if they are framed in too detailed a manner."

~Dr. Mark Cooray
***********************************
So, the court believes that a band of thugs who happened to be elected into office can have a meeting with the head of state with his band of merry men to prove his majority. They do not believe that it is necessary for the majority to be proven through a vote of no confidence through a sitting in the Assembly!! Our "erudite" Attorney-General Gani Patail calls it a “very clear judgment with very, very sound reasonings.”

So there you have it - Parliamentary democracy has been subverted - or so it seems- by none other than the Federal Court itself!! What the Federal Court has effectively done today was to declare that the parliament/assembly is irrelevant. To me, what the Federal Court (Umno, actually) said today was simply this, "Screw the Assembly/Parliament - A "Palace Meeting" is enough to dislodge the Govt. As long as Umno gets power, all is fine and dandy!!"

For a nation to come crumbling down, there are but three kinds of people in leadership, with three different characteristics that is required, namely -
  • the untamed passions in a gifted man,
  • the wanton power in a weak man, and
  • the unteachable temperament in a privileged man.
How "lucky" we are, that we have all three in just one man, who I shall leave unnamed.

Malaysia it seems, is sailing rudderless in the high seas of a Constitutional Monarchy. At the rate we have been going since the days of Mahathir - after this ruling, while there is minimal danger of the country becoming an absolute monarchy, it is just a matter of time before the Federal Constitution is abandoned, and Malaysia becomes "Talibanized" in tribal laws, or simply turns into a banana republic of sorts with a military junta like Myanmar.
So much for 1-Malaysia ....

**********************************
"There is a kind of dictatorship that can come about
through a creeping paralysis of thought,
readiness to accept paternalistic measures by government,
and along with those measures
comes a surrender of our own responsibilities
and therefore a surrender of our own thought
over our own lives and our own right to exercise the vote."

- Dwight Eisenhower
************************************
PS
Meanwhile, old-man Mahathir is fixated on MV Agusta which Proton had sold without his approval (since they couldn't make anything out of it) - and is cheezed off that it could be sold for USD100million by the buyer (probably from a cartel) ..... to Harley-Davidson who really had the expertise to revitalize it!!

Another One (of Indian Descent too!!) Bites the Dust!!

While we Mourn the travesty of Justice perpetrated by "certain quarters" in the persecution of Anwar Ibrahim and "Najib's concern for Saiful's ass's welfare", let us not lose sight of the cruelty in our midst.

Family rejects 'suicide' claim, wants independent autopsy


Thursday, 04 February 2010 admin-s

The family of a man, said to have committed suicide while in police custody, have refused to collect his remains from the morgue and are seeking another post-mortem. MCP Sawmill worker P Babu, 28, was found dead in the Jempol police lock up at about 4am after he surrendered himself in connection with a robbery case.

By Human Rights Party

When contacted, Jempol MIC Youth chief M Palani said the first post-mortem report classified the death as suicide.
The deceased had apparently used his shirt to hang himself.

"But this is unofficial. We were told that we would get the black and white report within seven days," he added.

‘Strong willed person’

Palani said the family have rejected the findings because "Babu was a strong willed person and would not have this decision (to commit suicide)".

"We are also questioning the fact that he hung himself using his shirt. Shouldn't he be wearing a police issued t-shirt (for detainees)?" he asked.

Yesterday, Palani filed a police report calling for a thorough investigation into Babu’s death.

Both MIC and PKR politicians have cried foul over the incident and offered to help the family secure a second post-term.

For years, activists and politicians have been complaining about the high number of fatalities involving Indian Malaysian police detainees.

In January 2008, a police constable was charged with causing hurt to extract a confession from A Kugan, 22, who died in police custody in Subang Jaya.

In July, P Gunasegaran, 31, was found dead in the Sentul police station. An inquest is currently underway.

This is How Saiful was "Seduced" to give up his @$$ .....

I couldn't help laughing when I read Saiful's testimony yesterday.
Patrick Teoh at "NIAMAH!!" summed it up pretty well.
So here goes -
Patrick's take on Sodomy II & Saiful's testimony ...

Wednesday, February 03, 2010


The Star's street edition today features a very funny headline. Did you see it?

SODOMY STARTS

Hahahahaha....that is sooooo funny. I am really glad that there are some mainstream media editors who still have a sense of humour.

Sodomy starts? I thought we'd been f**ked up the ass from 25 years ago. No ah? :-)

Now for something really funny but GOOD funny go get details HERE.

Niamah!!!

I was very takut (scared) lor so I take off my clothes and wear a towel lor.

A friend and colleague just alerted me to this report in The Malaysian Insider. I couldn't believe my eyes when I read it. It actually is completely mystifying. You judge for yourself.

Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, who took the stand at the High Court as the prosecution’s first witness, testified that when he first met Anwar at a condominium in Damansara Heights in 2008, the PKR de facto leader had asked him: “Can I **** you today?”

Wah! Anwar must have really been horny that day. Meeting a stranger and right away, "Can I FUCK you today?"

Saiful’s use of the profanity was greeted by sniggers and murmurs from those in the public gallery.

Well at least some people in the courtroom have a sense of humour or more likely they were tickled at hearing the word FUCK which is so often misused and misunderstood. And banned.

When asked by the prosecution about his immediate reaction to the request by Anwar, Saiful replied that at that point of time he felt “angry and scared.”

Okay, quite natural to feel that way. Of course, if somebody you met for the first time asked to fuck your ass wouldn't you get angry?

“I was angry and scared.. I refused to do so, to which Anwar became angry,” said Saiful.

Very good.

The complainant also alleged that the former deputy prime minister had offered him money in exchange for the sexual act, to which he also “refused”.

Good. Any God-fearing man would have done the same. Well done!



“I repeated what I had said and told him that I cannot bear to do it.”

Okay, okay we get the point. Thank you.

Anwar had then “ordered” him to proceed to the guest room where Saiful then stripped and donned a towel before the opposition leader hugged him.

Huh? Hahahahaha...you got to be kidding me. Right? After being angry and scared and refusing payment from the man you then proceed to the bedroom and strip down to a towel? Man! How scared were you? Not enough to protect your ass I guess.

But thanks for the laugh of the day la. Terima Kasih.

NIAMAH!!!

Gospel according to Jibby- The real "1-Malaysia"!!!

Addendum:-
Please note that the people aren't
sidetracked by this issue to ignore

the persecution and sham trial of Anwar today.

“Indians came to Malaysia as beggars and
Chinese especially the women came to sell their bodies”
~
Nasir Safar, PM Najib's aide at 1-Malaysia camp,
Racism hinders Najib’s 1 Malaysia
**************************

According to wikipedia, Biro Tata Negara (National Civics Bureau, or simply BTN) is an agency of the Malaysian government in the Prime Minister's Department. It was established in 1974 as the Youth Research Unit (Unit Penyelidikan Belia) under the Youth Ministry, but was renamed and transferred in 1981.
That means, it actually morphed into the indoctrination monster that it is now, under the Mahathir administration from 1981-2003. Let's forget the "Avatar"'s statement lamenting the failure of Hitler's final solution (or about how the Jews should be massacred from time to time), for now.

BTN sure has reaped its harvests after a generation of indoctrination ...... so much so, that stupid racist words and ideas come out like second nature from from people in high office, even as they're under fire.
So there you have it from the horse's mouth - it popped out of this idiot, Nasir's mouth unwittingly at a 1-Malaysia forum- that Umno Malays believe that Non-Malays came in as beggars and prostitutes!!!

They don't care to see the truth that the older generations - older than the 1st generation opportunistic closet racists like Mahathir and Khir Toyo - came here to build the nation to what it is today. That too, they forget (or choose to ignore) that it is they who should be grateful that these "pendatangs" came and made life better for them - the new "BN/Umno bumiputra" elite. But now, with the money they robbed the people of through their cronies, arrogance and shit fill their bloated bellies and heads. They now conspire against these hardworking people using an ignorant vote bank whom they wish to manipulate- so as to hold on to power and further enrich themselves.

It appears that with the many scandals haunting them, flight of capital (50% of the RM 700b last year alone!!), economy crumbling, and the shrinking pie from which the can pirates pilfer the resources of the country- the sectarian/racist rhetoric is going into overdrive. They just cannot help themselves ..... they need to let out their frustration at the awareness of the people, and being demonized for their fascist/racist ideas and/or their agenda of piracy. Whatever they do, all their mindless actions (from cow heads, to pig heads, to burning churches) lead to only one thing - expressing the frustration they're feeling at their inability to rob the economy blind.

Huge damage done to Najib's propaganda of 1-Malaysia.
Even though he (Nasir) has been asked to resign, you can bet your last penny that he'll be given another cushy job away from the glare of the media (just like that teacher who called Indian school-kids "monkeys" in class, remember?). This frustrated individual will now be a hero to the (Umno Malay only) fascist groups like Perkasa and what not - and the mindless minions will now rally around him to express their frustration and apparent disenfranchisement.
Meanwhile, Najib and Umno will now have to show how it is that Umno/BN can prove that this is not so. The Chinese and Tamilian allies of Umno - MCA and MIC - will now have to prove that they still have some element of dignity in this racist political alliance.
We then have the **BTN going around spewing hatred, racism and bigotry in indoctrination classes for "Malay" undergraduates and civil servants separately. I wonder what these racist morons who support Umno think about that versus 1-Malaysia .....
Anyway - the following is something I've taken from a forum online (slightly edited with loose translation by me) on the **BTN song:-


This is the Original version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnXobqUW_20


And this one is the Latest Version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAbHQSA8-x4

So I wonder, why they changed the original song? Is it because of racist statement or something else? I realize that the newer version has cut 2 "rangkap" (verses) of lyrics.
I'm including the lyrics for you guys...

Anak kecil main api
Terbakar hatinya yang sepi
Airmata darah bercampur keringat
Bumi dipijak milik orang
(Little kid plays with fire
His heart burns silently
Tears of blood mixes with sweat

The land now belongs to others)


Nenek moyang kaya raya
Tergadai seluruh harta benda
Akibat sengketa sesama kita
Cita lenyap di arus zaman
(The ancestors were rich
All wealth has been sold/mortgaged
Due to conflict between us
Ambition/Hopes forgotten in time)

Indahnya bumi kita ini
Warisan berkurun lamanya
Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain
Pribumi merintih sendiri
(This beautiful land of ours
Culture centuries old
Wealth of the nation flows into the hands of others

The natives lament in solitude)


Masa depan sungguh kelam
Kan lenyap peristiwa semalam
Tertutup hati terkunci mati
Maruah peribadi dah hilang
(The future looks bleak
Events of yesterday will be forgotten
The heart is closed and locked tight
And our dignity has been lost)

Kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa
Yang akan menentukan bangsa
Bersatulah hati bersama berbakti
Pulih kembali harga diri
(Political power is what we are only left with,
one that will determine the fate of our nation,

Unite to contribute/serve,

to the resurgence of our dignity
)

Kita sudah tiada masa
Majulah dengan gagah perkasa
Janganlah terlalai teruskan usaha
Melayu kan gagah di Nusantara
(Time is running out
Let's moved ahead with courage
Don't be apathetic in dischaging your duties
Malays will be strong in Nusantara)

Note:-In the Newer Version, the word Pribumi (Natives) and Melayu(Malay) has change to the word Kita (Us/We). and Also the bold part has been removed from the Newer Version

**The BTN is a government agency in the Prime Minister’s Department and answers directly to the PM. This agency’s organisation and powers enable them to hold the nation’s civil servants and govt scholars by the balls.
This is because BTN courses are compulsory for all students of public institute of higher learning, government scholarship holders and civil servants. Failure to attend or pass the BTN courses would jeopardise their career prospects, academic assessments or aid/scholarship approvals.

(excerpts from the report)
Racism hinders Najib’s 1 Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 3 — Race relations, already aggravated by the ‘Allah’ row, attacks on places of worship and the Biro Tata Negara controversy, is in danger of spiralling out of control in Malaysia despite the resignation of Datuk Nasir Safar last night as special officer to the prime minister.

Political analyst Khoo Kay Peng, writing in his blog yesterday, called Nasir’s remarks that “Indians came to Malaysia as beggars and Chinese especially the women came to sell their bodies” at a 1 Malaysia seminar in Malacca a symptom of ugly racial politics.

“The question is why are we not surprised by Nasir’s allegations. Nasir is a symptom of ugly racial politics,” Khoo wrote.


The tone of Nasir’s remarks, especially when he allegedly warned Indians that the government could revoke their citizenships if excessive demands were made by the community, reflects a growing intolerance among many in Umno with the non-Malays particularly after the Hindraf 2007 march that put the government in bad light.

And Nasir cannot be considered a maverick speaking out of turn or a fringe minority within Umno. He was part of Najib’s team in government and was also a former Umno lawmaker from Johor, well-versed in government policy and the need to implement effectively and efficiently without a doubt.

The remarks made by Nasir is also not the first time an Umno official has caused major embarrassment for the party and the government with racist remarks.
