UMNO is still at the helm of power. Abdullah Badawi is still the Prime Minister of Malaysia. BN is still the ruling party governing Malaysia. Anwar Ibrahim's promise is just that, only a promise. Nothing changes. Only change is Abdullah Badawi has become more hostile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdullah Badawi took over the Ministry of Defence from Najib yesterday. He is prepared for the worst. He mentioned in a press conference that he will do everything necessary to protect the interest of the people and national security. What he meant is, if the 24 million non-UMNO population of Malaysia value their lives, keep your mouth shut or a bullet will be in your head. There are more than 24 million bullets in the Malaysian armoury. ISA is only a warning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The atmosphere is one of fear and chills. A madman at the helm of power and all the firepower at his disposal. A man with no fear of GOD and thinks himself is GOD with the power of life and death over the population. National security means UMNO security. People means family and cronies. The population? What population? They are all merely dispensable slaves to serve the overlords. These ungrateful population deserve no mercy for trying to rebel against their lords and masters. If necessary , get the army to kill a few hundred thousands of these disgusting slaves to make an example of to the rest. After all protecting the "people" and "national security" is the topmost priority now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pakatan Rakyat will be outlawed. All its members will be arrested and then met with freak accidents under detention. Who is going to question the authority? Worse come to worst, a Malaysian style "Killing Field" is still an option. After all, the Khymer Rouge leaders were never punished and lived up to ripe old age. Even North Korea, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia dictators are still living in a grand lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malaysians are doomed because today is 17th September 2008 and Abdullah Badawi is still the Prime Minister. My advise to all Malaysians: go back to whatever you do, stay out of politics and you will still be alive. You can still have your cars, beautiful homes and occassional holidays. And when your wife or daughters got raped, properties robbed and friends murdered by the overlords, pretend it didn't happen. Welcome to Malaysia.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-1820902420239092353?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/1820902420239092353/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=1820902420239092353' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/1820902420239092353'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/1820902420239092353'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/09/17th-september-2008.html' title='17th September 2008'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-4297241617978245219</id><published>2008-09-16T03:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-16T03:58:04.240-07:00</updated><title type='text'>UMNO the real National Security Threat - Part 3</title><content type='html'>Today, the 16th of September 2008, Malaysia celebrates its 45th birthday. It also marks the day UMNO died. Anwar Ibrahim, claimed to have the majority to replace the UMNO lead government. But the question remains whether UMNO is gentleman enough to concede gracefully or will resort to Myanmarese tactics by putting DSAI under house arrest ala Aung San Suu Kyi plight and then declare a state of emergency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, Malaysia current Prime Minister is not Mahathir or Razak. These two megalomaniac who have no scruples least of all gentlemen, will have no second thoughts of eliminating their enemies illegally or immorally. Ethics and honour is just a cover to hide their atrocities and lies to the public. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, Abdullah Badawi, despite all his shortcomings and incompetencies, could still be considered humane. His only streak of vice is his lying habit. But being a compulsive liar, and being consistent at it, as Anwar said, we can still understand his messages by taking the opposites of all his words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdullah, has already lost to his fellow UMNO warlords. Even if he hangs on to power, he only has two more years. And there are many impatient warlords who might not even give him another two months. By refusing to concede his power to Anwar in a democratic fashion, he will only be  sacrificing his reputation with the label of a power-crazy undemocratic dictator, and goes down in history with people like Hitler, Pol Pot, Marcos, Mugabe and the likes. And his internal enemies in UMNO will benefit by gaining power without the burden of the label. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the only logical move by Abdullah is to graciously handover power to Pakatan Rakyat and preserve his last chance for a legacy. At least people will remember him for being democratic and might even be forgiven for all his undoings the last 4 years. Personally, for Abdullah to decide otherwise will be too costly without any additional advantages.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-4297241617978245219?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4297241617978245219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=4297241617978245219' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/4297241617978245219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/4297241617978245219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/09/umno-real-national-security-threat-part_16.html' title='UMNO the real National Security Threat - Part 3'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-6753467033893442071</id><published>2008-09-15T05:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-15T06:05:10.318-07:00</updated><title type='text'>UMNO the real National Security Threat - Part 2</title><content type='html'>When each and every UMNO members and the police force begin to exercise their illegal power as legislator, executor, jury and judge, the government in this country no longer has the mandate of the people to rule the country. They are now just a bunch of thugs and bandits with no regard for the law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They could come to your house, rape your wives and daughters, and if you report any of this to the police, you will be arrested under ISA. If they like a piece of land that belongs to you, the take. Your business doing well? It will no longer be yours tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, when the the people decided enough is enough and try to vote them out in a democratic fashion, as Malaysia claimed to be democracy, ISA is invoked. I wonder how Abdullah and his henchmen can imagine RPK, Theresa Kok and reporter Tan as armed  terrorists threatening national security. The real dangers are the ministers who commands the armed agencies with C4s. And I wonder how many more Malaysians are going to be murdered before changes that place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PDRM are all gungho when it comes to decent citizens like RPK and Theresa Kok. If real terrorists like the Al-Qaeda really threatens the national security, you can bet your last cent that the police or the UMNO bigwigs will NOT give two hoots about your safety. To them national security is UMNO security, not Malaysians security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is, Malaysia is not going to change peacefully because real power lies in firepower. If people are to have a better life, I guess it time to consider taking up arms and let the PDRM knows what ISA is really for.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-6753467033893442071?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/6753467033893442071/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=6753467033893442071' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/6753467033893442071'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/6753467033893442071'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/09/umno-real-national-security-threat-part.html' title='UMNO the real National Security Threat - Part 2'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-418542462066121541</id><published>2008-09-12T01:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-12T02:42:05.467-07:00</updated><title type='text'>UMNO a No. 1 National Security Threat - Part 1</title><content type='html'>Following the events since the 12 general elections culminating in the the arrest of RPK under ISA, there is no doubt that UMNO is now the most dangerous element in Malaysia. Common citizens who think that they are safe as long as they stay out of politics, think again. During the 1997 Asian crisis, many innocent lives were destroyed in Indonesia, and the victims are all apolitical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a corrupt government is under threat, it will cling on to power at all cost. Political foes being persecuted is a certainty. However, what is most frightening is collateral damage. Many innocent lives will be sacrificed to achieve the agenda. UMNO has no qualms in committing masacre as long as it can achieve their objective and facts can be manipulated or black out. May 13 incident and the Memali masacre are just two examples where helpless unarmed citizens are murdered enmass to justify the aims of UMNO hegemony. Any mention of these incidents today will guarantee you a place in the Malaysian "gulag".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The separation of legislative, executive and judiciary branches is non existent and almost a joke in Malaysia. Laws are enacted in parliament only in name. In reality, laws are passed and repealed at the whims and fancies of the warlords in UMNO. Even non existent law could be pulled out of thin air to persecute political foes. The ban on Malaysia Today website is proof that laws passed in the parliament could be bypassed by any government agencies such a the SKMM who undertook the role of a legislator ( making a law to allow censorship of the internet).  judiciary (passing judgement that Malaysia Today broke the law without due process) and executive (enforcing the law by sending directives to all ISP in Malaysia to ban the site).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SKMM is only a mild incident and hardly threaten the lives of ordinary citizens of Malaysia albeit it did receive wide publicity because of the popularity of its blogger, the great Malaysia hero, Raja Petra Kamarudin. Of more grave concern is the police force opering under the guise of Polis Diraja Malaysia. The atrocities committed by this agency, if ever exposed fully, will send spine chilling all over the world. Malaysia have no serious triad, mafia nor yakuza problems. It has the PDRM. Its activities includes drug trafficking, arm dealing, rapes, prostitution, money-lending, robbery, burglary, extortion, contract assasins and the list continues. And because UMNO is equally corrupt, it create a perfect symbiosis between the PDRM and UMNO. Its a matter of you scratch my back, I scratch your back type of thing. Therefore, UMNO must not fall at all cost, even if the PDRM have to kill half the population of Malaysia. After all, it is only collateral damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.....to be continued&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-418542462066121541?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/418542462066121541/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=418542462066121541' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/418542462066121541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/418542462066121541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/09/umno-no-1-national-security-threat-part.html' title='UMNO a No. 1 National Security Threat - Part 1'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-7693119200217380830</id><published>2008-05-11T22:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-11T22:36:54.095-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Is the use of ISA and Sedition Act Legitimate?</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;" The legitimacy of law lies not in its contents but in its application.

I have no issue with the law as it was passed by the parliament which consists of representatives elected by the majority of the people. Therefore, it is assumed that the majority of the people wanted to have this law. And since it is a law by the will of the people, it have to be obeyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when members of the ruling party acted seditiously, the law was never applied on them. It raised the question of why are there those who are above the law. In the eye of the law, everyone should be equal. Without this principle of equality, the law lost its legitimacy and the public gain the right to disobey this law. The government no longer has the moral rights to enforce this law and any attempt to enforce it will be deemed hypocritical and shameful.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-7693119200217380830?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/7693119200217380830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=7693119200217380830' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/7693119200217380830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/7693119200217380830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/05/is-use-of-isa-and-sedition-act.html' title='Is the use of ISA and Sedition Act Legitimate?'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-3050096964429556922</id><published>2008-05-06T03:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-06T08:37:11.641-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Malaysia Hero Raja Petra tried in Kangaroo Court</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_qQ3BHE0EasM/SCA0Q5aBfXI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ef4zaHaQejE/s1600-h/rpkangaroocourt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5197211434878074226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_qQ3BHE0EasM/SCA0Q5aBfXI/AAAAAAAAAAU/ef4zaHaQejE/s320/rpkangaroocourt.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Malaysian freedom fighter, Raja Petra Kamaruddin was charged in the PJ session court on the 6 May 2008 under the Seditions Act for his article calling for murderers to be sent to hell.

The phrases from the Al-Koran are true. But the composition and storyline insinuations are disgustingly distasteful and misleading. Is the creator of this movie ignorant of the effects this movie will have in shaping the perception of its audience? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Or is it his intention to be malicious, by cleverly editing the footages such that he cannot be sued for fabrications, but at the same time aims to create a false perception of Islamic violence? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His tactic reminds me of how the Japanese media created a perception of all foreigners are criminals. Whenever a crime was commited by a foreigner in Japan, it will get detailed coverage in the frontpage with the name, nationality and photographs of the alleged culprit. However, crime committed by locals are either not reported or name withheld. Over time, the public will subconsciously associates foreigners with crimes and crimes with foreigners. The government then took advantage of the public sentiments to implement new laws to curb foreigners' rights in Japan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Terrorist are just using and abusing religions to mobilise support and create a perception among the public that their cause is on moral high-ground. But in reality, the leaders are deviants who swayed the less educated ones into becoming their blind followers. And the false teachings starts from very young age.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During my schooldays, I attended "ugama" classes, even though I am a non-Muslim, and the uztaz was very supportive of my endevour to understand Islam better. I lived among the Muslims for seven years in a residential school. So, I could say that I had a good fundamental understanding of Islamic principles even though I may be no expert. My impression of the religion was it is so beautiful if not perfect, and if all Muslims were to adhere to all the principles stated in the Al-Koran, a Muslim state would be heaven on earth. But alas, human's will and flesh are weak,and to be a true Muslim is a very demanding task indeed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Islam, like most other major religions, is often misunderstood. Misunderstanding stems from ignorance. Ignorance give rise to fear which breeds violence. Thus, to curb violence, fear have to be controlled. For fear to disappear, ignorance has to give way to knowledge. With knowledge, misunderstanding will naturally cease to exist. Therefore, religious knowledge should be made publicly available and open discussions encouraged. Then maybe, we could have heaven on earth and terrorists will no longer be able to commit atrocities in the name GOD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-1055262318649830560?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/1055262318649830560/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=1055262318649830560' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/1055262318649830560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/1055262318649830560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/04/fitna-ignorance-or-malice.html' title='FITNA - ignorance or malice?'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-5316884711863248480</id><published>2008-03-25T07:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-25T08:28:58.471-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Matter of "Race"</title><content type='html'>For 50 years, the issue of race  has plagued Malaysia. What exactly is race? Anthropologically, there are only the Caucasoid, Mongoloid and the Negroid. Genetically, all human are of the same species i.e.  &lt;em&gt;homo sapien&lt;/em&gt; . The race that we are familiar with today is a mere social construct created to distinguish between people of different society with different customs and culture. Therefore any discrimination based on race is purely a case of power play which will eventually lead to violent competition for supremacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The term Bumiputra is obviously not a race. It was coined by the ruling party to score political points and to legitimise the act of discrimination against political opponents. It was never meant to protect the interest of the people. It was a farce and deception that culminated in the defeat of its creator in the recent election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted that Bumiputras are given special rights by the constitution which defines the term as indigenous people of Malaysia including the Malays. But who are the Malays? Instead of all the scientific explanations and theories, simple common sense will suffice. People from Penang called themselves "orang Penang". People from Perak called themselves "orang Perak". Likewise, when Parameswara, an invader from the then Majapahit Empire founded the Malacca Sultanate, he and his followers were known as "orang Malayu" by the natives to differentiate between the rulers and the subjects. For the same reason Penangites called themselves "orang Pulau Pinang" because they are from Pulau Pinang, "orang Malayu" came from Malayu, a princedom in Palembang. Therefore, if anyone today who can unambiguosly claimed to be a Malay are the royalties and no one else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However the distinction soon disappeared as new generation born after the invasion identified with the Sultanate and all the subjects called themselves the people of Malayu Kingdom which in the Malay language is "orang Malayu". The British colonial rulers called the Malayu, Malay from its original pronunciation. The spelling of Malayu was changed to Melayu when roman alphabets were introduced into  the Malay language.Thus Melayu refers to a nationality not a race. Since Malay is a nationality and not a race, in today's context, all Malaysians are actually Malay.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-5316884711863248480?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/5316884711863248480/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=5316884711863248480' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/5316884711863248480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/5316884711863248480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/03/matter-of-race.html' title='A Matter of &quot;Race&quot;'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-4097814204767469749</id><published>2008-03-17T22:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T23:00:32.768-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Rukun Negara is a joke</title><content type='html'>As far as the Umno is concerned, Rukun Negara is a joke. Even though Umno had showed blatant disregards to the Rukun Negara in the past, they went unnoticed. But the current election have intensified their misdemours and the culprits cannot be bothered to be discreet nor apologetic about it anymore as shown by the events below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan&lt;br /&gt;- Umno actions of tearing down Indian and Chinese temples implies there are no Gods for the Chinese nor Indian.&lt;br /&gt;- Introduction of Islam Hadhari implies assuming the role of prophets in introducing new words from God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara&lt;br /&gt;- Rebelling and insulting the Sultan of Perlis by Shahidan when Isa was appointed MB.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.Keluhuran Perlembagaan&lt;br /&gt;- Over the years, UMNO had amended the Constitution to suits their needs more often then changing their underwear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Kedaulatan Undang-undang&lt;br /&gt;- too many to mention but the majors include VK Lingam trading positions in the judiciacy like a commodity&lt;br /&gt;- drug traffikers discharged because evidence mysteriously disappear from police station&lt;br /&gt;- an underaged girl raped by a MB was instead convicted for prostitution and MB was potrayed as a victim&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan&lt;br /&gt;- Waving keris and encouraging the killing of citizens in an official function by highranking officials of UMNO is considered sopan.&lt;br /&gt;- Shouting, abusing and sexual harassment is the manners of UMNO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each and every of the 5 principles of Rukun Negara has been breached by UMNO every day of the year since the very day of its inception in 1970. When the supposedly founder and keeper of the Rukun Negara himself does not practice the principles, how can you expect others to follow suit?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-4097814204767469749?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/4097814204767469749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=4097814204767469749' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/4097814204767469749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/4097814204767469749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/03/rukun-negara-is-joke.html' title='Rukun Negara is a joke'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-1462208594503470522</id><published>2008-03-14T13:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-14T15:30:41.295-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Invisible Hands</title><content type='html'>Something big is happening in Malaysia. It is not the victory of Barisan Rakyat in the recent election. It is also not the decadence of Barisan National which is slowly but surely becoming irrelevant in the context of Malaysian political landscape today. It is also not about Makkal Sakti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is about a clandestine movement ala the western freemasons which consists of powerful personalities and intellectuals whose thoughts transcend race, nationality and religion. They have been watching patiently the progress of Malaysia under a government with absolute power for almost half a century. They have never interfered in the government despite having the power to do so . The significance of their existence was either ignored or totally unwaried by the goverment or people at large. To them, corruption is only a subjective perception and insignificant to justify their intervention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have but only one objective, and that is the preservation and protection of the sovereignity of this country. It is not about national security as defined by the ruling party who goes around arresting opponents citing ISA. It is about national security concerning high treason. The only time  it was committed was the secession of Singapore and this group of people have sworn never again to allow such thing to happen again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, into the 21st century, this group began to feel uncomfortable and felt a threat has come into existence that deserved their attention. Thus, began the plan to save the country. People will began to notice seemingly impossible accomplished, seemingly unattainable attained. The recent political "tsunami" is a part of the fabric of their grander plan. And very soon, the people of Malaysia will start to feel the presence of these "invisible hands". .....

And up to today, the ruling elites are still using the spectre of this incident to threatened the people. By the way, the state of emergency was never oficially lifted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though the People Front could not form the national government yet, their unprecendented victories in taking over 5 of the largest and richest states in Malaysia marks the first step towards a true government of the people, by the people, for the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though many people have made no small amount of sacrifices to the cause of this movement to unite the people against  tyranny, such as members of Hindraf, Bersih, bloggers etc., the two persons I would regard as the main heroes will be RPK and Anwar. RPK,  for bringing issues closest to every Malaysians's heart but afraid to voice out and despite being a member of the royalty is willing to come down to the grassroot level by creating a true forum of  freedom speech thru his Malaysia Today website. Anwar for relentlessly calling for national unity and dispelling mistrust among the people of differents ethnicity and religious believe. RPK and Anwar served as the lightning rod to concentrate the people's power into a focused power to be reckoned with even though the numbers and resources are few compared with the adversaries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But again, this is only the first step. Whether the mandate given will used for the good of the people or a repeat of the Badawi's administration remain to be seen. Badawi's administration created 2 histories; the historic win in the 2004 election with 91% mandate and the historic loss in 2008. So, my advice to the leaders in the People's Front: "Never underestimate the power of the people".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3289034593714355870-846839246549784273?l=malaysiaa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/feeds/846839246549784273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3289034593714355870&amp;postID=846839246549784273' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/846839246549784273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3289034593714355870/posts/default/846839246549784273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://malaysiaa.blogspot.com/2008/03/dawn-of-new-malaysia.html' title='The dawn of a new Malaysia'/><author><name>Todak</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04425988909145649605</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289034593714355870.post-2801491833438966278</id><published>2008-02-25T19:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-05-14T00:07:27.057-07:00</updated><title type='text'>50 years of Failures</title><content type='html'>1.
