The Fate or Ordinary Malaysians

NOT A WASTE! - TDM

Any decisions and actions by any government which do not benefit the public particularly the majority usually will be deemed as waste of public fund. Besides, when such so-called mega structures are under utilised or only accessible to limited sections of the whole society, such building or facility too is deemed a waste of the tax payers' money. In this nation of ours, ample examples are readily available for scrutiny. The Twin Tower, LISRAM, PICC, just to name a few are under utilised or even worse are only 'accessible' to the well-to-do.

For instance, shop lots at the Twin Tower are so expensive thus the people TDM aimed to help or intended to help cannot afford even to rent, what more to buy. Due to their excessive rent, the merchandise too are off limit to many, making them merely for window dressing not for sale. If this is not a waste then let us ask the people from remote areas throughout the country whether they have benefited directly or otherwise by such high rising and mega buildings. The responses are astoundingly in the negative.

A government should not only consider certain sections of the society , these are not the majority. Majority of Malaysians are scattered throughout the land, in remote areas where even there are limited basic amenities. They have to put up with poor road condition, no or intermittent electricity and other sorts of appalling miseries while those in the city continue their lavish lifestyles at the expense of their brothers and sisters throughout this vast nation of ours. While people in Kuala Lumpur enjoy excellent array of facilities, many of us have to be content with facilities equivalent to pre World War II!

Sadly, government of the day choose to ignore the pleas of the long suffering Malaysians of help, by insisting of building more mega structures which are of limited or no relevance to the people in remote areas in Sabah and Sarawak, who can only dream of coming to Kuala Lumpur. TDM in his usual arrogance even said that building even one skyscraper was not a waste of public fund/taxpayers money. Such were the words by a so called statesman!

PKR: Sink or Swim

At a crossroad, sink or swim

I read with interest the purported entry of Lee Chong Meng, the MCA Bukit Bintang division head into PKR. Earlier on, MC Disciplinary Board agreed to recommend his suspension for misappropriation of party fund.

A reader of Malaysiakini later on aptly advised PKR of not to accept him into their fold as according to the reader he (Lee) was suspended for misappropriating party fund. Iam inclined to agree on his reasoning since PKR until today is still struggling to free itself from opportunists who are there only to personally gain something for themselves or just to spite their old party. These people whose integrity and integrity are doubtful as they do not really believe in the struggle of the party they intend to join. Look at what happened when Nasarudin Hashim, the Bota Assemblyman purportedly joined PKR only to left few days later. The incident which led to the fall of Pakatan in Perak should serve as a reminder for PKR before accepting people with dark history.

These people are only serving their own personal agenda since they are no longer trusted in their former organisation. To take them in will not serve the party both in the short and immediate or the long run ,rather it will only bring the party deeper into trouble. Besides, PKR is one of many who called for the resignation of many of their turncoats in Perak and Pulau Pinang. They should stick to their principle of not promoting the leapfrogging culture just because it serves their purpose.

This is the time for them to consolidate their party by discarding the bad apples while at the same time turning away bad apples like Chong Meng. Let those with sincere intention remain and accept the greenhorns rather than the experienced ones but with ulterior motive. If they really are serious of taking over Putrajaya come the 13th general election, then the best is to show and exert themselves a party of principle. Many of their so-called supporters today are not in tune with their struggle but rather because PKR today is gaining attention and recognition by many.

Better be extra careful than sorry and lose everything

Stop Giving Excuses!

Believe and practise- THE ONLY WAY

Some learned in the dominant party of the ruling coalition opined that Hudud could not be implemented though they have the authority. This is based on their interpretation and comprehension of Maqasid As - Syariyyah, the well being and condition of the prevailing condition of the society.

I am not that well versed in such matter thus what will be shared here may not be the true reflection of the actual situation. Nonetheless, from a layman point of view such defensive opinion merely serves as an excuse for them to not implementing Shariah. They have the power and authority to do so - uphold the Shariah since they have been in power for more than 50 years. They should remember the saying of the Prophet that those with power will be answerable for what they have done or failed to do in the Hereafter.

It is mind boggling and a true reflection of their fear of Shariah though they are trained in such field. Today we have countless legislation governing the Muslims throughout the nation from Perlis to Sabah. These laws sadly are not the standardised Shariah law including the Hadd but mostly they are based on Ta'zir, the consideration of the authority. They have been in power for so long but they fail miserably to uphold Shariah to the Muslims themselves!

We are not talking about the non Muslim but those Muslims who are supposed to believe and follow the teachings of Islam if they are true believers and not just selective areas according to their whims and pleasure. Islam is a complete religion and furthermore Islam is a just religion where everything must be present and done accordingly before someone has his hand cut off. In fact the burden of proof under Shariah is far beyond the reach of man - made laws. In Islam the level of proof is beyond any shadow of doubt unlike man-made laws which only requires the slightest doubt. Having a strict burden of proof surely will ensure justice to everyone. The then PM statement that Malaysia will have many crippled citizens if we were to implement is hilarious and of course an insult to Islam.

In fact, Islamophobia is created and cultivated by those in the dominant party by giving misleading picture of Islam. Instead of explaining and disseminating the true Islam, they opt to put fear among non Muslims. How could the non Muslims learn and understand Islam if they are given the lies instead of the truth of how beautiful Islam is. Sadly, many of the things those people claim to protect are not things of utmost important like Aqidah matters. While, they claim to defend Islam but sadly at the same time they are condoning things that are clearly against the sanctity of Islam. If not because of the opposition by the society , we may have legalised gambling today, a sin admitted by the Christian themselves and in fact among other sections of the society as well for its evident evil.

Today, they are busy harping on the contribution by the Penang government accusing the state of giving away tainted money but they do not realise that they are themselves condoning the act by taking and accepting money from the same sources as part of their pay and allowance. Even worse, some are openly involved in abuse of power and bribery. What they have to say about token money while campaigning for party post? This is not just rumours but the blogger has witnessed the practice.

Uttering and proclaiming religious reasons are only serving their reluctance to implement Shariah because they fear that they will become the first ones who will go through the process. They should not fear since it is not easy (unlike in man-made laws) to convict the accused. If they are sincere, they should follow the practice of the Kelantan state government when they introduce the usage of Dinar, a gold based currency which is the right medium of transaction.

Giving excuses is the way of Syaitan

HYPOCRITE AND GAMBLER

Gamble not Your FUTURE!

Every time the so called learned figures from the dominant party of the ruling coalition opened up their mouth lambasting others particularly from the Opposition relating to religious matter, almost immediately their hypocrisy was exposed.

The latest was the contribution of RM100 by the Penang State government when they claimed that it was sourced from gambling. Many innocent and naive old folks were deceived to 'return' the contribution in the most celebrated manner as if they had done something so meaningful in the name of their faith. However, Dr.Asri Zainal Abidin quickly doused the fear of Muslims by stating that the money received from non halal source is allowable as in the present case since it was given on the basis of assistance just like when someone is paid using non halal sources like what the civil servants of today.

Elected representatives from the ruling coalition then were called upon to return their allowances since it was similarly sourced from non halal revenues. Nonetheless, just like before the call received no positive response from those opportunists so far. This should remind all Malaysians of their highest level of hypocrisy, condemning others while condoning their own acts. Pity for those 'innocent' folks who had been deceived by their ploy and abuse of sensitive matters for their own selfish reasons.

How about this?( Credit to I.S.A). If we follow the logic of the so called learned in the dominant party of the ruling coalition then clearly those people had committed grievous sin as they had corroborated with a gambling company by agreeing, attending and accepting the invitation and gifts from the company. Again, if they were really sincere then they should refrained their fellow Muslims especially those young and ignorant ones from accepting such invitation. So far, until today those people have not uttered anything since they won't get any leverage if they exposed such thing to the public.

Let us pray hard that those hypocrites will no longer hold Malaysians at ransom by stating that they are the only saviour of the people as they have done nothing except to create unfounded fear and spreading racism among us Malaysians. We should extend our greatest gratitude to the Almighty for His Grace of exposing those people hidden agenda. Come 2012, let us be free from those hypocrites!
