...to all my Muslim friends....

* Have a blessed Aidilfitri and always be safe !
Cheers and Godbless !

Muslims and Infidels

Religious tensions have escalated to a very critical level with some fanatics who have shit in place of brains on their shoulders, running wild trying to make the sensitive thin-line situation reach a breaking point ! But then again Malaysians generally are a decent lot who will not resort to buying these idiotic stories and can see clearly that this is the work of a few village idiots paid to carry out the bigots' agenda ! Of course UMNO strikes as desperately guilty with the help of racist media Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa with Najib having absolutely NO control over the situation as every goon in UMNO enacts his own drama to steal a few dubious minutes as champion of Islam !

Seriously when you look at the way PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz's posters around Shah Alam area being defaced with a cross markings or even the Muslim apostasy roll ( and we the tax-paying citizens are still reeling from the SPR or Election Commission's screwed electoral roll !) has been "buggered" by someone within by the inserting names of persons leaving the Muslim faith for Christianity or that political failure Hassan Ali forms a "faith-rescue unit" for Muslims who seek aid from Christians !!

Are Muslims that weak in their faith ? I don't think so but going by the way this moron Hassan Ali is going seems Muslims in Selangor are not steadfast in their belief and can be easily converted to Christianity ! What a mentally retarded simpleton this Hassan Ali is as "his office was concerned about the issue of proselytising as troubled Muslims could resort to help from other groups that might lead them away from Islam !" in a quick rebut to influential cleric Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, who said yesterday that Muslims should take care of their own poor instead of accusing Christians of proselytism when churches helped poor Muslims.

Next time you non-Muslims or "infidels" see an injured Muslim laying by the road-side do you want to help him or be charged for proselytism ? I on the other hand will stop to help any injured person.....not because he's Muslim or Hindu or Buddist or a Communist but because he's a fellow human being in need of help ! Period.

Damn these bloody religious zealots !

stampede in the gorge !

When was the last time you had the misfortune to visit a government office ? I did today and boy was I shocked at the "laziness" these government offices permeated. Well I can understand that this IS the holy month of Ramadan and can also try and forgive the pace the staff got this going at 3pm, but that is not what I'm entirely concerned about.

My concern is the lack of the 1Malaysia bullshit from Najib ! Where is the many colours of the different races in these government offices ?? All I saw was just 1ONE race of what Najib has been harping the past 2 years or so ! Where are the "mata sepits" and the "pariahs" ? Are they not Malaysians too ? Is there still a quota in every government job ? Why are the various races that are supposed to reflect Najib's 1Malaysia, not reflected in equal numbers in every government office so that when times like Ramadan, the Malays can relax a bit while the other races can keep the government machinery well oiled and in top performance to serve the tax-paying public, no ? And the same will be so too when the other races have their various festivities. "People first....Performance now".......ayie....Mr. Prime Minister ?

I don't know how it is with Opposition run states. I really hope the situation there is different with the state government employing all races at all levels and not keep the lowly positions like gardeners, drivers and toilet cleaners for a certain race and the better positions for others. Can somebody tell me if Selangor and Penang gives every race, I mean every race must include all races, not just Malays, Chinese and Indians... a level playing field equally without being biased and prejudiced as seen in Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur ?? I really want to know if indeed the Opposition is practising what it has been preaching i.e. equality for all and employment based on merit and not on quota of race and religion.

Going by what the Home Ministry reports ( here ) today, it'll be easier for an Indonesian or Bangladeshi to find employment with this government here then the 2nd. class citizens or "pendatangs" and the indigenous natives (the true bumiputeras) of Malaysia can ever dream off !

shameless Koh Tsu Koon !

For 18 bloody years Koh Tsu Koon did nothing and before him going back to the early days of Gerakan ruling Penang, development and foreign investment were mediocre. For a long time when you took the ferry from Butterworth, before the Penang bridge was constructed by the Koreans, Komtar was the only building sticking out like a sore thumb on a rather flat piece of pre-war and colonial buildings on this island then know as "The Pearl of the Orient" !

In less then 3 years since the "tsunami" of March 8, 2008, ( here ) Unesco listed Penang as a World Heritage Site, just four months after Lim Guan Eng took over. Penang topped total capital investments in manufacturing projects in 2010 by attracting RM12.24 billion, up nearly five times compared to RM2.17 billion in 2009. And this shameless Koh Tsu Koon said Penang would have been similarly successful even if BN was retained in 2008.

Hey Koh Tsu Koon, you lost by popular vote, you were deemed hopeless and even with all your political manipulation the people gave the then Opposition a landslide victory through the ballot box loud and clear that you had not served them at all and that they cannot tolerate the rubbish you called "government" and have had enough of your "chingay" drama ! By the way what happened to the annual "chingay" parade, huh ? Was that too deemed "haram" by KIMMA or Perkasa and UMNO ??

Would Koh Tsu Koon sing this same tune and take the blame IF suppose Penang and Lim Guan Eng and his DAP had failed miserably ? Would he not now admit that Penang under his charge for 18 fcuking years did not even make 10% of what Lim Guan Eng has acheived in just under 3 short years ? Has this moron Koh no shame at all ? He was rejected out-right by the people of Penang in 2008, and is now on a short leash in the PM's stable as a rabid and frothing mongrel to do Najib's dirty work in Penang. Does he not know when to shut up ? He's a washed out political, an irrelevant has-been and from the same cess-pool as the likes of Mahathir, Toyo and Samy.

In its latest issue dated August 13, international weekly The Economist dubbed Penang “the first custom-made city of globalisation” and credited Lim for boosting the port city’s revival by axing a racially-biased economic policy in the state to create a more level-playing field that appealed to foreign investors.

These business reports in various magazines sings praises by the volumes of the current administration as can be clearly seen and understood by the man in the street. You don't have to be an economist to understand the language nor the statistics. Maybe even Nicol owes her world champion titles to this green-eyed mongrel and ex-chief minister, no ? Or so he would claim !

Need I say more ?

.....what happened my son ?

A friend of my friend dug this from the archives of a library in Ohio University , USA. It is a program/souvenir booklet of KGMMB (Kesatuan Guru-Guru Melayu Malaysia Barat)'s AGM 1968, and this Guinness advertisement appeared on pg.2, side by side with a message from the then Deputy Prime Minister the Sr. Razak on pg. 3.

Can you picture this in today's landscape ? What hypocrites our people have become ! Nobody kicked-up a fuss then. Mind you, this was a teachers union souvenir, okay ! Everything was as it was then......plain and accepted, without brainless morons like Ibrahim Ali protesting and waving his "ketuanan keris" and crap and making a fool of the entire populace every time , but not a single word is uttered from his filthy mouth of the daily blind rape of the citizens with corruption being the order of the day in every strata of our government that is to be of service to civil society !

And this was hidden in a library on the other side of the world ! A special thanks to my friend Vis and his keen eye for details ! Muchas gracias mi amigo !

Guidelines For Muslims Celebrating Religious Festivals Of Non-Muslims

The 68th muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee for Islamic Religious Affairs on April 12, 2005 discussed the Guidelines For Muslims Celebrating Religious Festivals Of Non-Muslims. The muzakarah has decided that:

In determining the non-Muslim celebrations that can be attended by Muslims, several main criteria should serve as guidelines so as not to contradict the teachings of Islam. The criteria are as follows:

1. The event is not accompanied by ceremonies that are against the Islamic faith (aqidah).

The meaning of “against the Islamic faith (aqidah)” is a thing, act, word or situation which if conducted will lead to tarnishing the faith (aqidah) of Muslims.

For example:

1. to include religious symbols such as the cross, installing lights, candles, Christmas tree and so forth;
2. to sing religious songs;
3. to put any religious markings on the forehead, or other markings onto parts of the body;
4. to deliver speech or gestures in the form of a praise to the non-Muslim religion;
5. to bow or conduct acts of honour to the religious ceremony of non-Muslims.

2. The event is not accompanied by acts against the Islamic law.

The meaning of “against the Islamic law” is a thing, act, word or situation which if conducted will contradict the Islamic teachings practised by the Muslim community.

For example:

1. Wearing red costumes like Santa Claus or other garments that reflect religion;
2. Serving intoxicating food or beverages and the likes;
3. Having sounds or ornaments like church bells, Christmas tree, temple or breaking of coconuts;
4. Having ceremonies with elements of gaming, worship, cult, superstitions and the likes.

3. The event is not accompanied by “acts that contradict with moral and cultural development of Muslim society” in this country.

The meaning of “acts that contradict with moral and cultural development of Muslim society” is a thing, act, word or situation which if conducted will contradict the values and norms of the Muslim society of this country which adheres to the Islamic teachings based on Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaah.

For example:

1. Mixing freely without any limit or manners;
2. Wearing conspicuous clothing;
3. Singing songs that contain lyrics of obscenity and worship;
4. Organising programmes such as beauty pageants, cock fighting and such.

4. The event is not accompanied by acts that can “stir the sensitivity of Muslim community”.

The meaning of “stir the sensitivity of Muslim community” is a thing, act, word or situation which if conducted will offend the feelings of Muslims about their beliefs and practices.

For Example:

1. Speeches or songs in the form of non-Muslim religious propaganda;
2. Speeches that insult the Muslims;
3. Speeches that insult Islam;
4. Presentations with the aim to ridicule the religious belief of Muslims.

5. The organisers and the public are asked to get the views of religious authorities before organising or attending celebrations of non-Muslims.

Getting "stoned" on live tv !

Below are just a few random comments I want to highlight from some ordinary folks here and around the world on religious sensitivities which some in Malaysia would have made a mountain of an issue, enough for Ibrahim Ali to warrant a "jihad" ! But I guess nobody, nowhere in the world is as idiotic as Ib and his merry morons, right ? Go read the full article at the end of these selected comments ;

I'm a muslim woman and fasting at the moment, but it certainly doesn't 'offend' me if other people continue their normal activities around me such as having tea or snacking, that's their prerogative! Maybe I wouldn't go out for a lunch and sit through others eating a full meal. but the onus is definitely on me to decline. Also if the pastry was on the same plate and hence perhaps cooked with the pork sausage, Tamsin, as a muslim shouldn't be parting in this - so really even within muslims there are many who differ in observing the rules.

- Fasting too, London, 13/8/2011 7:18

A lot of fuss over very little I think. A fellow teacher was a Hindu, in a predominantly white school, but the pupils all wished him Merry Christmas, sent him cards and asked what his children were getting. He didn't take offense, he smiled and said thank you, if questioned about his plans for the break, he might explain his beliefs, but he was never upset. The same seems to have applied to this man. Too much of the racial trouble is stirred by other people taking offense on behalf of someone else!

- Chris, UK, 13/8/2011 16:04

What a stupid article, Adrian realised his mistake and made a joke out of it which was quite funny. No one seemed offended in the slightest!

- Leanne, London, 13/8/2011 4:49

I'm a Muslim and I don't take any offense if someone offers me pork or anything that my faith forbids me to consume. I'll just say thank you but I can't take that. It's the same if you're a vegetarian, I wouldn't know if you don't tell me. Names doesn't indicate so much of anything these days. You can be called Dylan and be a Muslim or you can be called Ahmad and be a non-Muslim. People need to chill a bit.

- nadia, malaysia, 13/8/2011 7:37

Oh so what, it is his choice to do Ramadan, he can't expect everyone else to say no or expect the programme producers to change the format, just because of one guy!! I am sure he wasn't offended or bothered by it, it may have made him feel a bit peckish but hey, it isn't the end of the world, get over it already. We cannot mollycoddle everyone with a different religious belief, they didn't belittle him or force him to eat it - so no harm done. Our general religion in England isn't one where we have ramadan, so it isn't really our problem.

- Gorgeous Brunette, Cornwall, 13/8/2011 4:17

you making something about nothing, stop stirring. - ni, london, 12/8/2011 10:26 Exactly. Adrian offered the sausage to be polite. Dhafer said he couldn't eat it, explained why and wasn't offended. End of.

- Sonia, England, 12/8/2011 18:27

Does this mean under Sharia Law he gets to be stoned live on TV ?

1st.world laws vs 3rd.world criminals

1.Riot :

a noisy, violent public disorder caused by a group or crowd of persons, as by a crowd protesting against another group, a government policy, etc., in the streets.
2.Demonstration:
a manifestation of grievances, support, or protest by public rallies, parades, etc.
3.Rally:
to come together for common action or effort.
4.Protest :
an expression or declaration of objection, disapproval, or dissent, often in opposition to something a person is powerless to prevent or avoid.

Now which part of the 4 verbs and definitions above do simpletons not understand ? To compare and justify the riots in England (here) and the Malaysian BERSIH rally/protest/demonstration (here) in the same vein is utterly stupid. To say that there was violence by the protesters here in Malaysia is a blatant lie. I was there ( at least in one part of the city as you can see from the photos in the link which I snapped with my own camera !) so show me if the faces in the pictures looked thuggish or threatening in any way in any of the photographs.

The only aggression apparent here in Malaysia was the brute force of our police who for no reason and without provocation fired rounds and rounds of tear gas into peaceful marchers from all walks of life and jetted down on unarmed citizens chemical-laced water, charging into crowds to even kick, punch and beat many before arresting 1,600 in under 4 hours for being there to express and exercise their fundamental rights for a common stand as in Nos.2, 3 and 4 of the definition above and which so many arm-chair critics who were nowhere near the rally failed to understand but condemn the rally participants by reading what the government controlled media fed them.

Looking now at the scenes in London, me thinks our "trigger-happy" cops would have a field day mowing-down the unruly and wild mob of opportunistic looters with their guns and maybe would have even confiscated the "bounty" from the looters for themselves. Because English law prohibits the street cops from carrying arms but truncheons, many gangsters and looters there took advantage of the "1st world soft" approach of the bobbies and only when the situation now gets to an extremely high and dangerous level.....out comes the water-canons ! Can the same be said of our "thugs"-in-blue back home ? Here they conduct "preemptive" road-blocks and arrests days before a rally is due and frustrate the masses into believing the worst and then expect the non-participants to lay the blame on the rally-goers !

Well what can I say of the London rioters but it's a crying shame as the looters there were damn lucky we didn't dispatch our boys-in-blue immediately on Day 1 to merry old England to quell the situation sooner !

Payback time !

Now here's a good challenge for all you raping, plundering and corrupt politicians who have stashed away all your millions in some foreign bank for a "rainy day" and when your "political time" is up in Malaysia. It is because of these dedicated and brave few that you managed to amass your wealth today by corrupt means. Now here is your chance to make up to them and their families and for the sins you have committed.

Read this story here and tell me if you can actually sleep every night without guilt ? Do you really give a damn for your fellowmen ?? Then do something now and give them what you owe them. Some paid with their lives while others lived way below poverty lines and in dire straits and that's sickening to hear. But most of all give them back their dignity they so rightfully deserve !

This post is directed to the Chief Minister, BN politicians and "wannabe" politicians of Sarawak !

Sheeesh !!

Who is Ms. Mah ...and other follies !

Two important issues that happened in the last 2 days need the rakyat's immediate attention and demand for answers. Of course lah I'm exaggerating here ! 2 is just what comes to mind right now from the hundreds of other issues that begs for answers actually and with no solution in sight !

First is the shocking Mismah-gate expose' ( as it is fast being known as !) wherein a Permanent Resident named Mismah, in 4 hours becomes from a foreigner to a citizen first and immediately an eligible voter. All in four hours! Can you believe that ?? A voter immediately ? No cooling-off period ? Citizenship with a "vote for BN or else......." deal ? When highlighted by an online news portal, a quick change to plan B by the EC. Clever ?

The Election Commission is regrettable the biggest servile outfit and you should hear the EC head and "suck-up" artist extraordinaire Abdul Aziz Yusof's (pictured above) rebuttal with lies during this holy month of Ramadan, akin to a little kid who was caught jerking-off, fumbled trying to cover-up by pointing his filthy finger to the National Registration Department's "technical negligence" and so on and so on....oh..so pathetic.

The electoral roll has been tainted, compromised and manipulated. No excuses ! The future of this country's ruling party is in the hands of this one moron, and he's playing to the UMNO master's gallery with much debauchery ! This guy actually believes we, the rakyat or citizens are plain stooopid !! ( here )
If I had my way........he'd be lynched by only one of his testicles from a durian tree.

I believe that this Ms.Mah ( notice there's no second name or address, but of course some will defend with a "it's in the "micro-chip" lah bodoh !" reply. ) expose' was the reasons and the answer to the hundreds and thousands who braved the tear-gas and water-canons in the city on July 9th. See, this was just one of the many irregularities in the EC apart from being the ruling party's subservient lap-dog that gave rise to the many frustrated tax-paying citizens demanding for reforms, never mind about politicians hijacking the original intentions of the BERSIH organisers. These ARE issues and the EC needs reforms, period ! And anyone who still want to blame the politicians and labelling the 709 as wrongful and unnecessary are nothing but unprincipled weasels themselves not worthy of their citizenship as Malaysians. Perkasa and Ibrahim Ali jolt my mind in an instant ! How can one condone corrupt malpractices that are so glaringly staring like in your face and still shrug and say "semuanya okay lah ", huh ?

And second, the raid on the Christian church by a bunch of "holier-than-thou" watch-dog committee called JAIS ( Islamic Affairs Department of Selangor) and the PDRM (police department of Malaysia- by and large the most corrupt and brutal force to face-off with !)

The current Selangor government and the Chief Minister Khalid are duty-bound to answer to the rakyat why this happened. Khalid must start with the sacking of the state executive councillor and moron Hasan Ali. ( here and here ) This will also go to show the watch-dogs in JAIS who's in charge and if this Islamic department has abused it's position and behaved in a manner most unbecoming of their master Najib's 1Malaysia crap so soon after his visit to Rome to see the Pontiff then I say scrap the damn department itself. Do we need so many unnecessary departments and worst is they being paid with the rakyat's hard-earned tax monies ? Over-zealous and half baked morons act as if they have a God-given right to barge into any place of worship without even a warrant. And even as I write this post, some jack-ass bigot will be planning another "jihad" against another religion and making Najib's "no control" in situations against his Utopian 1Malaysia Unity tag making his tenure as short as possible. Or the Sultan has to also say something as all matters of the Islamic religion are under is purview yes ? As for the moron Hassan Ali....he too must be hung by his other testicle !

Yes now I'd like to ask where are all the champions of the Christian faith who'd run and make police reports for lesser sins ? Should they not protest and report this unlawful raid against Christians that seriously threatens the peace, stability and national unity as it rocks the very foundations of this great country of ours ?

Peace !

another "shiok sendiri" booster !

Huh.....another "pariah" (I will still use this derogatory term loosely to describe all Malaysians of remote Indian origins, yours truly included, as long as "Interlok" is used as a literature text book in our education system !) gets to be a full minister ! A guy who lost in the last general election but still ascended to be the president of the almost irrelevant Malaysian Indian community. The party that never protested against the usage of that derogatory term used in educating all future children of this nation. ( here )

Coming back to Datuk G. Palanivel's rise into PM Najib's department as a full minister, again it is not without 'conditions' imposed by the now infamous "deal or no deal" Prime Minister. Najib "Now MIC has to deliver and we (government) can deliver to show our sincerity." Again Najib thinks he is addressing the Indians of India and not Malaysians. Can you see MIC is said,"them" and we the "government" here referred to UMNO ?? Come on lah...does this sound like 1Malaysia to you ?? Is there nothing Najib will do out of love for the citizens of Malaysia without classifying them as races and without conditions ? What a shame it'll be when come election time and Palanivel cannot deliver. 1Malaysia....what a joke hehehe !!

The way the Prime Minister's ratings with the common folks is free-falling earthwards since the arrest of the PSM6, BERSIH, Ibrahim Ali and his "bloody" brag of 709 and then after meeting the "yellow" Queen of England and the Catholic Pontiff offers a new deal again with Christians here demanding respect to religion, I think he has failed miserably just like his now abandoned and pathetic 1Malaysia crap.

So how is this "Indian-man" going to make a difference to the PM's flagging ratings and BN in particular ? Surely sly Palanivel will be a mere "yes" man, window dressing the PM's colourful department together with that other discard from Gerakan, Koh Tsu Khoon. Have you noticed how silent they all were in all issues stated in para 3 above ? Can they even speak up against the "taiko" of the PM's department, the ever loud and brash Nazri Aziz ? And these are the goons who are representing the respective "immigrants" in their charges, yes ?

Increasing his cabinet won't guarantee a win in the next election when the PM speaks with a forked-tongue to his people. Making deals and "brokering" with his component party leaders is totally unacceptable, dishonest and down right cheap.

Over to you Palanivel. Not that anyone's expecting anything new from you anyway !
Just enjoy the ride and the perks.

Yellow phobia !

Xanthophobia.....that's the fear of the colour Yellow !
Our Prime Minister and the police have gone berserk !!!
You be the judge.

SNAFU in Malaysia !

The recent deportation of the French lawyer William Bourdon, a lawyer engaged by Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) or Citizen's Voice Malaysia has set many a tongue wagging not just here in Malaysia but also internationally ( read here ) .

Although the reasons given by the immigration as Bourdon having violated his social visit visa by giving a speech at a fund-raising dinner in Penang, it is clearly understood by the thinking-masses it was the police who were directed to arrest him and hand-over to the immigration for deportation. And we all know who the police take their orders from, right ? The BN government of the day aka Najib !

Now if any of you traveled overseas and are invited by your host to speak at a forum/dinner there, would you be violating your visit pass ? Surely not unless you are in Malaysia and was speaking of a corrupt deal cum "murder most foul" in a government defense purchase from France that could if proven true in a French court, implicate the very position of the man who holds the highest position in public office in our country......the Prime Minister himself !

If this French lawyer is a liar and Najib is not afraid of the truth why can't the government use the proper channel to refute those alleged accusations ? That is what is always preached by Najib's government to all angry and dissatisfied citizens like you and me, yes ? Sue this Frenchie for all he's worth in a court of law. This act of deportation has increased the suspicions of mere speculators here and world-wide of higher level government involvement. Habis lah !

It seems this government is so fearful of the truth. Why...I speculate in knowing wonder ! There's going to be laughter in the French courts when the jesters get roasted and some big foreign VVIP wipes his sweaty forehead in the docks while getting fried and grilled by attorneys and then heads will rock and roll !

Our Prime Minister is making one blunder after another. The 2Bersih sweep by brutal police crack-down on his "unarmed and tax-paying citizens" in yellow and the fate of the now famous Emergency Order 6 ( EO6) who were neither communist nor waging war against the King and still in limbo was the mother of all blunders our Prime Minister has bungled recently followed by that "slap" of a picture with the Queen of England mocking him in a rare choice of "Bersih" yellow in Buckingham. Who ARE his ill-advisors huh....pray tell ??? Democracy in Malaysia is but just a word from the English dictionary, nothing more, nothing less ! All hail the new Dictator....a prodigy of MahaFiruan !

Then came Najib's "deal" to Christians to respect Islam to be respected. A request most unbecoming of a Prime Minister to his own tax-paying citizens so soon after his unexplained agenda and audience with the Pope ! Wonder what "suspicious" Archbishop Pakiam would have whispered in Latin into the Pope's ear for Najib to react in this unprofessional way. Another bad move and certainly does not go down well to the nearly 90% Christian voters in Sabah and Sarawak alone discounting those from the peninsular.

Beware the next GE, Mr. UMNO Prime Minister, but beware most of all those who are even closer to you......for somewhere therein LIES the TRUTH !

Well that's what it is like here in my lovely country Malaysia, on any given day....SNAFU !

BERSIH2- sybas Malaysians !

I joined the BERSIH2 rally because I was at the first BERSIH walk in 2007 to demand the resignation of Pak Lah the then PM and now again join the thousands of tax-paying citizens who have had enough of the lies and bullying from the current regime which is corrupt to the core and sees simple reforms in the electoral system for fair and clean elections as irrelevant.

To say that PR politicians hijacked the first rally and again today is no better then saying Perkasa is not a racist group and Mahathir is not an Indian. So ? Then there are some I know who live in "ivory towers" and condemn anyone taking part in walks or rallies like they were born in lalaland. This walk is for and by the rakyat. Period.

A known fact is, politicians from any party, in any public rally love to steal the thunder from anybody. Today's chants of "reformasi" and "takbir" were quickly followed by "bersih" and "hidup rakyat" as the main chant through-out the 2 hours I spent with these thousands of ordinary and simple folks who braved the many salvos of the PDRM's tear-gas attack and were there for only one purpose. To send a loud and clear message to the lying and arrogant government run by Najib who under-mined the Kings consent to recognise the rights of his subjects and the use of the Merdeka stadium for the BERSIH organisers.

All credibility was lost on the BN regime today when the rakyat defied the many road blocks and threats of arrests just so they can exercise their fundamental right to walk where they want in their own country peacefully. Is that a crime ? And it is a pity to see the police bidding their political master's dirty work as they charged continuously at the hundreds of unarmed tax-paying citizens who actually pay their salaries every month. And the only violence evident today was the brute behavior of our guardians, the police force. What a shame.

Below are photographs I managed to shoot while I strolled alongside proud fellow Malaysians who are just as eager to see changes both in the electoral and the administration of this once beautiful country of ours. Enjoy !........


....as one, as Malaysians.....we walk...peacefully !

.....see any "dangerous" looking people wanting to wage war against the King, here ?

....or here.....

....or even here ?

.....but the ever present "eye-in-the-sky" is a menace to all below...



and the PDRM dreaded symbolic yellow....even a face towel will do !

....as the smoke billows from the tear-gas fired by the police at unarmed citizens....

.....tears stinging the eyes and skin, even tourists are not spared.....

...Sham and Nisha acted as medics...help

.....first time I see this cheese cloth Indian attire (vaistea) worn for a rally....maybe he knows something I don't ?......

Bersih steering committee member Wong Chin Huat ( not seen in pic) reads out the 8 points of reform.....ponder on it and vote wisely come GE13...


....running helter-skelter.....
...it's raining cannisters.....

....funny how the PDRM wastes tax-payers money by firing those shots. We, the rakyat paid for all those canisters of tear-gas, mind you morons !
...as I made my way back to my car parked 2 km away I saw how neatly the rubbish was gathered near a lamp-post. See how disciplined we the rakyat really are ? Who said rally goers throw rubbish everywhere ?

....by 6pm all was back to normal.....kids playing badminton in a mixed neighborhood in the San Peng flats area. Maybe they don't have to worry now.......hopefully !

.......while this guy peacefully sleeps oblivious of all that's going-on around him !

Good night Malaysians....wherever you are !

and elsewhere in the world.....

.....this morning in Melbourne (Wan Ahmad Faiz and @pratamad )

BERSIH2 - 1KOTOR

jokers to your right and jokers to your left...

Drawing attention to oneself has to have noble intentions. But drawing negative attention for all the wrong reasons and making a fool of themselves seems to be what these clowns are getting. ( read here and here )
In the first link, 2 "suspect" Malays want His Majesty to revoke the citizenship of the BERSIH2 chairperson Ambiga thus making a fool of themselves as they too are masquerading as Malays without revealing their true identities and in the second link this "clown" as Nazri Aziz wishes to refer him as, needs no introduction for being the infamous "amphibious" politician who rants and raves for every body's blood except Malays in UMNO, is deeply hurt and embarrassed because His Majesty has out-rightly refused to grant him an audience. This so-called champion of /for Malay rights guardian and beloved protege of that old and senile racist Tun has become a household joke now.

So what is to become of these "cheap-show stealers" credibilities now ? Have they in the first place any right to demand for His Majesty to revoke Ambiga's right as a citizen when His Majesty himself has graciously granted her his royal ear to hear her out ? And by doing so the King has indirectly given his stamp of approval that what this gutsy lady stands for has a case of merit and must be heard. His Majesty has also unwittingly legalised the BERSIH2 movement what the BN government had termed "illegal" from the offset. But His Majesty thinks otherwise.
What will these "jokers" think of next ?

So again, just to get a "shiok sendiri" feeling to amuse the kampung folks, PM Najib has gotten himself in a tight situation. Allow the gathering in a stadium is to not offend His Majesty, deploying the police to instill fear will keep the crowd small, arresting those wearing BERSIH2 tee-shirts will weaken and demoralise the participants, and in the latest developments, police permits for the stadium venues are still within the PM's influence as government run televisions stations keep continuously playing clips demonising street rallies and glorifying to high heaven of his stellar rule even when we the rakyat have been looked upon in the King's favour.

Sigh........it's tough being a Malaysian, and even tougher being a "thinking" Malaysian......sigh !!!

The King has spoken !

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 — The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, moved to defuse tension tonight, advising the Najib administration and Bersih 2.0 to hold consultations over the issue of free and fair elections.

The constitutional monarch rarely issues edicts or statements but the heightened atmosphere over the past week has prompted Istana Negara's intervention.

“I urge that amid the political fervour of a section of the people to bolster democracy in our country, it must also be ensured that this demand on democracy does not bring destruction to the country.,” the King said.

He added that the people “cannot be following too much the practices in other countries, as harmony and stability are vital foundations for a country and which all quarters must protect”.

“I also urge the government to carry out everything that is entrusted to it by the people in a just and wise manner, and it is important that I as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong do not want to see this country with a plural society in a situation where there is animosity among them or a section of the people being enemies with the government, on whatever grounds.

“When any problem arises, we as a civilised society must resolve it through consultations and not follow our emotions, as the Malay saying goes, “Yang Dikejar Tak Dapat Yang Dikendong Berciciran (Not getting what we chase and spilling what we carry),” Tuanku Mizan added.

He pointed out that street demonstrations bring more bad than good “although the original intention is good, saying that the people should focus on “our main objective to develop this country, and not create problems that will cause the country to lag behind”

“Remember that there is no land where the rain does not fall, there is no ocean that is not turbulent.

“That is how important moderation and compromise is, which has been long been in practice by our nation’s administration,” he said, expressing confidence that Datuk Seri Najib Razak can handle the issue.
