KELANTAN - An Islamic State
No matter what you read and no matter how you perceive 1Malaysia to be, it is just an idea waiting to be hatched. To be able to make 1Malaysia a reality in a multi-racial society, it is not a cinch or can be done with mere slogans, but with a strong conviction instead.
With insincere politicians shouting rhetoric instead of speaking with one tongue, 1Malaysia will just be the tag-line that is used once too often resulting in ennui.
Quote: If Perak is under PAS mentri besar, YB Nizar like Kelantan is under Tok Guru, the states will be fairly governed. Outside these states I have my reservation for PAS.
She is truly a sagacious woman who knows what she is talking about.

A Die-Hard Justice Seeker
Anyone who attends Teoh Beng Hock’s inquest will not miss this “particular” man with a black band around his forehead.
He is not Beng Hock’s next-of-kin, but a very caring soul who stands up to seek for justice. There was no immediate rush wanting to talk to him, thinking that he would fade away after a few sessions at court.
Boy! I was dead wrong!
I caught up with him and finally got to hear from the horse’s mouth why the sacrifices. We, peace loving Malaysians have to salute and respect you, sir!
People, he is Mr.Hor Boon Chung – a die-hard justice seeker!
This is what Mr.Hor has to say ...
You have heard him loud and clear. Then, what you are going to do about it? To join his crusade or to sit back with one folded arm while the other rubbing your chin?

Burma - Final Part
The military junta has brought a new case against the activist leader Aung San Suu Kyi on the flimsy basis of a visit to her house by an American man named John Yettaw. The charge is that by meeting Mr. Yettaw, Aung San Suu Kyi has violated the terms of her house arrest, but the world does not think so. Why?
John Yettaw tried the same thing last year but the authorities stopped him before he got to the house, which is one of the most well guarded places in Myanmar.
This time, he was allowed to sneak in so that the government would have an excuse to throw the book at Aung San Suu Kyi, again. The junta is looking for a way to stay in power and to thwart Suu Kyi from contesting in the elections next year.
She is scheduled for release from house arrest later this year at the completion of a 6 year sentence. But, the Nobel peace laureate Suu Kyi was ordered to spend another 18 months under house arrest, while John Yettaw flew home with Democrat Senator Jim Webb who had secured his release.
Democrat Senator Jim Webb, who has close links to US President Barack Obama, won guarantees for Yettaw's release when became the first senior US official to meet Myanmar's reclusive junta chief Than Shwe.
John Yettaw is a former Vietnam vet, 53 years old, from Falcon Missouri. His neighbours describe him as an intelligent conversationalist and an alcoholic suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
He strapped on a pair of homemade flippers and swam over one mile across a lake to see Ms. Suu Kyi. This time he managed to sneak in and spend two nights in the house before being caught while trying to swim away.
The world now is looking at America to undo what her citizen had caused, not only to Aung San Suu Kyi, but also millions of refugees all over the world who want to go home and be liberated.
The recruitment of child soldiers in Burma is still widely practiced by the Burmese army, but this young boy made his escape to Thailand.
United States data in 2006 listed Myanmar as the world's third largest source of refugees after Afghanistan and Iraq because large groups of refugees are in hiding around the country and they are penniless and desperate.
Today, the situation is so bad that there are large numbers of refugees escaping to China, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Malaysia.
The Malaysian government says there are about 25,644 Myanmar asylum-seekers in the country but refugee groups believe the real figure is more than double that.
The majority are Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar's Rakhine state while the rest are Christian Chins, Karens and Shan.
Most of the Chin refugees are men in their late teens or early 20s who ran away from their homes in north-western Myanmar to escape persecution.
The groups are in very bad shape as they have no money, no food and fear for their safety. Hundreds of thousands of Chins have fled from Chin State to escape severe ethnic and religious persecution committed bythe military regime.
The UNHCR registration process has been closed since July 2005, leaving thousands of genuine refugees unable to obtain official refugee status or obtain any documents from the UNHCR.
Their daring escape to foreign countries has become an infestation to poorer countries who are unable to provide them with food, shelter and clothing.
Those who were caught by the Malaysian law enforcers and who are not registered with UNHCR were sent to the Lenggeng detention camp where they will await deportation. This is not the way they want to go home because the junta regime will mete severe punishment on them – hard labour.

Kampong Buah Pala - The Facts and Truth
Mr.A.Thiruvenggadam gave an insight into the Kampong Buah Pala controversy. What has gone wrong? Who is to blame?
No matter how the issue is perceived, the village folks are the ones to bear the brunt, having to lose their houses they have called homes for centuries.
Kampong Buah Pala 01
Video: Paul Wong
The village folks of Kampong Buah Pala have TEN days left before their present dwellings will be demolished. Will the civil society make their stand to see justice done or to take it as an Indian problem?
Are we ready to look beyond colours and say that it is Malaysians problem that require immediate attention or leave them to fight for the roofs over their heads?
To know about the truth that has spiralled to desperation, the subsequent video clips will tell the story. Then, judge for yourself where had gone wrong and who should be responsible for such predicament!
Stay tuned.
The World Has Failed Burma - Part Four
More than a hundred of NLD (National League for Democracy) were killed or injured during this tragic event. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was also injured by the attack from the thugs, but she narrowly escaped from the killing field.
But justice for this crime has yet been sought in the country where there has been no rule of the law. Since then, the military generals have not taken any action against Depayin criminals instead they put Daw Aung San Suu Kyi into house arrest under the State Security Act section 10/B.
The 1998 democracy revolution.
The 2007 Saffron Revolution
The Nargis – was a massacre of neglect, because so many people died as a result of the government’s refusal to allow international aid and relief.
If you live in Myanmar today, there is a huge gap between your rights and daily reality.
Forced Into Unpaid Labour
Many people are forced into unpaid labour by the army to build roads, military camps and other infra-structural projects.
Forced To Leave Home
Hundreds of thousands of civilians from ethnic minority communities have been forced to leave their villages, as part of the strategy to cut off support to armed opposition groups.
Whole villages have been razed, obliterating people’s homes and possessions. Thousands fled to other countries to escape from forced relocation and other abuses.
Many have been victims of other human rights violations by the government including extra-judicial executions and the confiscation of their land.
Denied Citizenship
Many Rohingya are not recognised as citizens by the government. A Bengali-speaking Muslim ethnic minority group living in western Myanmar for centuries, yet cannot marry or travel without getting official permission and not allowed to own property.
Locked Up For Years
Thousands of government critics have been imprisoned for peaceful activities like writing histories or poems, or defending human rights. (Writer’s note: If I post what I have being writing in Myanmar now, I am sure I will be in the hard labour camp at no time until the day I see my Creator).
Prisoners of conscience are serving prison sentences up to 106 years solely for peacefully exercising their basic rights.
Tortured To Death By The Police Or Military
Torture and ill-treatment are common. Criminal suspects, political prisoners, ethnic minority farmers and former members of the government have been subjugated to brutal treatment by both the police and military to extract information or to punish them.
You Cannot Complain
Scores of people have been imprisoned for speaking out about practices like forced labour, torture, heinous prison conditions, arbitrary imprisonment and restriction on political members. Justice Is Denied!

The World Has Failed Burma - Part Three
This is Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, who won a landslide election in 1990. She has been repeatedly imprisoned and lives under house arrest by the military junta.
Premeditated Depayin Massacre
The most BRUTAL military juntas in the world.
After her freedom from 19 months house arrest on May 6, 2002 Daw Aung San Suu Kyi began her organization trips outside of Rangoon. Her release from house arrest was unconditional and as approved by the SPDC she could freely travel throughout the country.
Her first Rangoon precinct trip was to Shwe Pyi Thayar Township NLD head office on 17 May 2002 followed by trips to Daw-bon township NLD head office on 22 May 2002, on 24 May 2002, Kamayut Township NLD head-office, on 13 June 2002, as her fifth trip in Rangoon precinct, she visited Thakayta NLD head office.
Throughout the trip mentioned, she received overwhelming support from the people. She later made her upper Burma trips from 20 June 2002 to 29 June 2002 visiting (16) township in Mandalay and Magwe Divisions continued by trips to Mon and Karen States visiting 12 Townships from (14 Oct 2002 to 17 Oct 2002).
Such plot against Daw Aung San Su Kyi had since been arranged in 1996 and was revealed by the SLORC/ SPDC Minister of Railways Transport Ministry and secretary of the USDA U Win Sein.
On 1 Nov 96 at 14:00 hrs, in the compound of the Le Pyin village primary school which is about 1 mile away from Inndaw Township of Sagaing Division, the entire village USDA members' proposals submitting ceremony was held.
U Win Sein who participated in the ceremony, delivered a speech to the attending villagers making strong personal attack on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Furthermore he stated that the creator of the internal political disturbances, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, must be eradicated.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was injured when she was brought by force back to Rangoon from above roadside. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s car was put off the road by the authority during her trip to Irrawaddy Division in August 1998.
Regarding this matter, NLD chairman U Aung Shwe informed Senior General Than Shwe by letter with letter No: 179/Cee (Nyein)/96 of 20 Dec 96.

The World Has Failed Burmah - Part Two.
In 1988, when students and monks were massacred in Myanmar, Universities were closed and the education system completed its deterioration. Burma regime infiltrates demonstrations to spark violence.
At least 4,000 or more monks have been arrested and questioned by government authorities in their recent crackdown on protests favoring democracy for the nation. It is reported that they are being held at the Government Technological Institute, the Kyaikkasan racing track and in a prison called Insein Prison.
From these locations, they will be transported to prisons located in the extreme northern part of Burma. The monks have not been allowed to wear their robes and are in shackles, and some of them have been beaten. Many have also initiated a hunger strike, refusing to eat.
The aftermath of a massacre of 12 villagers who were attempting to flee to Thailand after their villages were forcibly relocated by Burma’s military regime.
30-40 villagers had stopped to sleep for the night at two huts in the forest when the Burmese military came upon them, lined up in front of the hut, and opened fire.
Ten were killed immediately including children aged 2, 5, 7,14 and a dead pregnant woman.
Millions of Burmese people have been forced to leave their homes by the military regime; relatively few escape to refugee camps in Thailand.
The vast majority of the villagers eke out a living in the jungle, always on the run from the regime - the Junta!
What is a Junta?
A junta is a government run by committee that has taken the meaning of a military government. Different then a dictatorship, a junta is a collection of rulers, in the case of the Burmese, the military leaders.
Burma’s Gen. Than Shwe, has a history of war crimes and must be indicted for murdering his own people.Evil Burmese General Than Shwe, forbids dissent. He is afraid of the monks power and has now chosen to arrest, torture or kill them. He has also sent untold numbers to northern Burma slave labour camps.
The young generation was taught to accept and internalize the twisted histories and other lies fed to them in state run schools instead of being taught how to use their brains, how to think, and how to question.
The news and media surrounding them was always manipulated and controlled by the Junta. Myanmar is a country in which rumours fly as no where else

The World Has Failed Burmah - Part One.
The nationality is Myanmar. There are more than 100 ethnic groups in Myanmar. Some of the Ethnic groups are listed as Akha, Palaung, Padaung, Naga, Taron, Eng and many more near extinct tribes.
Burma is also known as Myanmar. The country's military rulers changed the official English name from Burma to Myanmar in 1989. They also changed the capital's English name from Rangoon to Yangon.
Burma was a parliamentary democracy from 1948 until 1962, when the military took over. Under the rule of a man named Ne Win, the Burmese army imposed a quasi-socialist police state on the Burmese people.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the daughter of Gen. Aung San, a hero of the Burmese independence movement who was assassinated by political rivals in 1947.
The Burmese military was not amused. In the days that followed, it slaughtered up to 3,000 demonstrators and placed Suu Kyi under house arrest. She went on a hunger strike – demanding that she be placed in the same miserable prison as her lesser-known pro-democracy leaders.

Dariff Din (Personal Assistant To YB Lau Weng San) Segment 01 - Politics
This is the demands to achieve the maximum effectiveness of any personal assistant.
However, in any professions, there is always a risk regarding job hazard that comes with it. Even the least expected profession as a personal assistant has to face with this new phenomenon of getting killed in a strange manner.
Will it deter all personal political assistants to carry on with their duties or it is better to look for another job?
Dariff Din has his own point of view and how he is going to carry on with what he should as a personal political assistant.

Financial Cycle
Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 Euro note on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to choose one.
The hotel proprietor takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the pig grower. The pig grower takes the 100 Euro note, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.
The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 Euro note and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit.
The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 Euro note to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.
The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 Euro note back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.
At that moment, the tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 Euro note, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.
No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.....
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the United States Government is doing business today.

Stinking Mouth Speaks The Loudest
Federal Territories Minister Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal today said that RM20 million damages claimed by various quarters as a result of loss of business and income arising from the anti-ISA rally last Saturday have been accounted for.
Dumb Statement!
04 Aug 2009
The police are now handling the matter. They can take whatever action they see fit (against the organisers of the rally) but some people want to provoke the police to ensure they are detained under the ISA. Then, they can say, 'See, I told you'," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

Teoh Beng Hock's Inquest
He is one of the few good men left.
Women want real men and it is synonymous to a country that needs good men. When the systems in the country are rolling to a grinding halt, people will lose faith, respect and trust on the whole system.
We don’t need mommy’s boys to tell us what to do because it takes more than a pair of testicles to walk the talk.
Despite being publicly mocked, blamed and criticized, he is still in charge with his superior political skill and courage to do what he should for the betterment of the Malaysian society.
The man I am talking about is YB Lim Kit Siang whom I had the chance to bump into as he was leaving the Shah Alam High Court.
The cub of a tiger man?
When you look at a tiger you will ask about the cub. But the cub has grown fully-fledged to take on even the “king” of the concrete jungle!
He is the most needed personality of our time, a Member of Parliament and lawyer who has earned the reverence from the peace loving Malaysians.
Intelligent yet modest and he is YB Gobind Singh, a household name far and wide.
