Pro-Opposition is the way to go in University Malaya

Pro Mahasiswa aka opposition finally took over University Malaya ...
Hope that there will be some changes now... some will do...
This is a LESSON to the Pro-Aspirasi (now Penggerak Mahasiswa) that people are fed up with racial politics, money politics and all sorts of nonsense.

I condemn Ali Rustam's acts

Ali Rustam, Chief Minister of Malacca [a disgrace to the country] the one in white

I am SADDEN, DISGUSTED & DISAPPOINTED with the Chief Minister of my home state, Malacca, which is none other than Mohd. Ali Rustam.

His actions of burning the effigy of the Prime Minister of Israel and the Israeli flag clearly shows that he is NOT!!! I stress again N O T !!!! a good and wise leader. No wise leader would ever resort to lowly, disgusting action. His idiocy speaks it all.

Those stupid actions of his and his supporters are similar to extremists and Islamic militants that fight the "holy war" which to me is VERY VERY unholy.

Taking an innocent life because of difference in belief is NOT justifiable... It never will be.
To die a martyr of ones faith is noble; however no SIN or harm should be caused unto someone else. That is truly what a martyr is.

In this post, I do not support Israel in its conquest of Gaza City, or of any acts of invasion into any sovereign country. In fact, I condemn the attacks as this is not a 'civilian war' but of 2 regimes.

Therefore, I support any attempts to condemn the invasion, at the same time, I implore demonstrators to respect foreign flags. Why?? You yourself would not be happy if someone else burns your beloved national flag.

Politics & my solidarity to those in Gaza

SAY NO TO WAR!!!!

Firstly, local news

politics:-

I'm kind of getting pissed off and tired of politicking that has been going on in Barisan Nasional (Federal Government of Malaysia) [which will be referred to BN in later text] and also the Opposition party (Pakatan Rakyat, PKR-DAP-PAS coalition).

While the BN's defeat in the March 8 election that caused the party to lose 4 states to the Opposition, was "humbled" for a little while, the finger pointing never stopped till this very day.
Nothing has changed in the political landscape as everyone points finger and everyone. Threatening and calling names, trying to point out the other party's mistakes and failures or weak points.

As a citizen, a youth, all I want is true development, mature thinking politicians, that are able to accept defeat and work for the better, not otherwise.

Of recent late, PAS fell back on their word to work for a "welfare state" and wants to work on their initial ideology; that is to implement the hudud and qisas law, which they claim is only applicable to Muslims. However, to implement this law, the requirement is that Malaysia has to become an Islamic state. That is the problem that we are facing today.

While the BN government is always referring to Malaysia as an "Islamic state", our constitution has always maintained that Malaysia is a secular state. DAP has always rejected hudud and the Federal Governments claim to Malaysia being an "Islamic state" as Karpal Singh claims that the Federal Court in 1988 has declared and confirmed that Malaysia is a secular state.

I don't know for sure if this is true, but I have not heard any politician rebut his statements and claims. And I have read before that even the Conference of Rulers and the past politicians have agreed upon Malaysia's conception that Malaysia is a secular state with Islam as its official religion.

While Karpal Singh is standing firm, other DAP leaders are not talking much about it. And what surprises me is that, when Pakatan Rakyat was formed, the initial agreement was that PAS drops its plan to make Malaysia and Islamic state. Now PKR leader, Anwar Ibrahim, is saying that PKR is not rejecting hudud.

This commotion has caused fracture and to me, it makes me lose confidence in the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim in the Pakatan Rakyat, as an Opposition leader. Anwar Ibrahim IS LIKE (I'm not claiming that he is; I'm not passing judgment) a two faced snake that talks what people want to hear at one place, and talks something else when he campaigns at another. I know for sure that many BN leaders are like that also.

I am not stating that I support one party to the other, and I'm not trying to imply anything. But I believe that it's good to have as many Opposition to ensure proper check and balance in the Parliment, and what the government is doing for its people.

While MCA, a component party(racially made up Chinese) of BN, rejects hudud as well, I think its STUPID of its leaders to challenge DAP to state its official stand on hudud as DAP has been voicing out all this while.

I just hope that God will intervene somehow and stop this politicizing of anything and everything.

A word to politicians.

GROW UP, BE MATURED AND ACT LIKE ONE .... OR GET THE HELL OUT OF PARLIAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parliament ain't the place for playing a fool, kidding and talking nonsense, you idiotic hypocrites!!!

MY 2 CANDLE LIGHTS

On an unrelated international news,

Israel and Palestine...

I just can ask God to intervene through international voices...

My thoughts go out to those suffering and have lost a lot in this very trying times.

May God comfort the families of Israel and Palestinians that have lost their loved ones.

And may God show you His light, to guide you.
May you never lose faith and fall.
May you continue to hope in God.

May God bring about peace.

My 2 candle lights as a sign of my solidarity with the people of Gaza.

OH OH

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

happy birthday to TEDDY aka CHUN YIAN>
