ISRAEL THE ROGUE STATE chedet.co.cc May 31, 2010 1. I am horrified at the violence employed by Israel to stop the ships from carrying humanitarian supplies to Gaza (read here). The ships are in international waters, yet the arrogant Israelis do not care to respect international laws and convention. 2. The claim that the people on the ships are carrying sharp objects is ridiculous. Are they going to fight the well armed Israeli soldiers with sharp objects? 3. Do Israeli soldiers shoot to kill people carrying sharp objects? The act is most cowardly and deserving only of brutes, not civilised people. 4. What kind of world are we living in when it allows a rogue state to use violence and killings against unarmed people on a mission of charity. 150 Comments By azizAuthor Profile Page on June 21, 2010 7:12 PM A;kum Tun, I hope you are in good health and happy always. I want to say something about the importance of the Koran and share with our friends here. Quran: Unlike Any Other Book The Quran is God's Final Testament to the world, and He has pledged to protect it from the slightest distortion (15:9). Thus, the Quran is surrounded by invisible forces that guard it and serve it (13:39, 41:42, 42:24). Unlike any other book, the Quran is taught by God (55:1-2); He teaches us what we need at the time we need it. This is why we read the Quran hundreds of times without getting bored. We can read a novel, for example, only once. But the Quran can be read an infinite number of times, and we derive new and valuable information from it every time. On the other hand, the insincere readers - those who read the Quran to find fault with it - are diverted from the Quran (7:146, 17:45, 18:57, 41:44). In fact, God's invisible forces help them find the faults they seek. Since the Quran is perfect, such "faults" serve only to reveal the stupidity of God's enemies. God uses His own attributes to describe the Quran; He calls the Quran " `Azeem = Great" (15:87), "Hakeem = Full of wisdom" (36:2), "Majid = Glorious" (50:1), and "Karim = Honorable" (56:77). What can we say? Since the Quran is God's message to all the people, regardless of their language, the Quran is accessible to the believers, regardless of their language (41:44). This explains a profound phenomenon: the believers who do not know Arabic know the Quran better than the Arabic speaking unbelievers. Because of the invisible forces serving the Quran, it is readily and enjoyably accessible to the sincere believers, and utterly inaccessible to the unbelievers (17:45, 18:57, 56:79). Thank you Tun, God bless you always! abdul aziz omar By samuraimelayuAuthor Profile Page on June 16, 2010 6:48 PM SALAM KASIH DAN SAYANG AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN, IZINKAN, By amin tan on June 16, 2010 6:16 AM Salam Tun, Nampak gaya masih berpanjangan lagi isu minta izin hendak masuk blog Tun dan tidak ucap salam.

By amin tanAuthor Profile Page on June 16, 2010 6:16 AM Salam Tun, Nampak gaya masih berpanjangan lagi isu minta izin hendak masuk blog Tun dan tidak ucap salam. Sebelum saya memasuki blog Tun saya sudah baca syarat2 pohon izin. Bagi saya memadai dengan Dear Tun jika saya tulis ikut Bahasa Inggeris dan Salam Tun jika tulis ikut Bahasa Malaysia. Israel the rogue state. Bagi saya tajuk ini sudah berat sebelah. Blog Tun ini dimasuki dan diteliti seluruh masyarakt dunia dan saya tulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Seandainya semua orang yang comment dalam blog Tun 100 peratus kecam Israel saya berpendapat yang masuk blog Tun akan dicap fanatik sepertilah blog parti lawan yang dimuat dengan bahan2 anti kerajaan sahaja. Tengoklah Malaysia Today. 100 % berat sebelah. Ada hikmahnya kita tengok dari sudut Israel. Yahudi cuma 2 juta orang sahaja di Israel, di Amerika 3 juta, di Britain dan lain2 tempat di dunia 1 juta. Jumlah keseluruhan yahudi di seluruh dunia anggaran 6 juta. Tetapi mereka gunakan Apache Helicopter, F16, F15, Kereta kebal buatan Turkey. bantuan tahunan Amerika USD4 billion. Pada perang Yon Kipur 1970, Mesir telah dapat kalahkan Israel pada peringkat awal. Tetapi Amerika hantar jet pejuang yang berpengkalan di German Barat bantu Israel. Anwar Sadat terpaksa berdamai. Kalau tidak ramailah orang Mesir akan mati syahid macam Sadam Hussein dan Republican Guards di Iraq. 2 hari lepas Tun menyokong diberi lesen judi untuk orang bukan islam ingin berjudi. Adakah kita kata Tun anti islam? Sebab itulah orang2 yahudi selamat di negara2 islam masa Hitler memburu mereka. Orang islam tidak zalim dan tidak berat sebelah. Orang islam sentiasa doa dan ikhtiar supaya orang bukan islam mendapat hidayah dan memeluk agama islam. Kecuali seorang sahaja manusia yang nabi doa supaya Allah latnat iaitu bapa saudara nabi sendiri dan besan Baginda, Abu Lahab dalam surah Al Matab, manusia paling jahat. amin tan By samuraimelayuAuthor Profile Page on June 16, 2010 12:33 AM SALAM KASIH DAN SAYANG AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN IZINKAN, By wajaperak on June 14, 2010 9:53 AM Assallammualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarokatuh.

    Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Malaysia

    COUNTRIES AT THE CROSSROADS Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Malaysia Introduction Malaysia has over 28 million people, of whom approximately 63 percent are ethnic Malay, 25 percent Chinese, 7 percent Indian, and 4 percent Ibans and Kadazan-Dusun.1 Much of this diversity was created through the British formation of an extractive colonial economy, with the “indigenous” Malay community ordered into small holdings and rice cultivation, while the “non-Malays” were recruited from China and India into tin mining and plantation agriculture. Further, in preparing the territory for independence in 1957, the British fashioned a polity that was formally democratic, but would soon be encrusted by authoritarian controls. Throughout the 1960s, greater urbanization brought many Malays to the cities, where they encountered the comparative prosperity of the non-Malays. They perceived the multiethnic coalition that ruled the country, anchored by the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), but including the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) and the Malayan Indian Congress (MIC), as doing little to enhance their living standards. At the same time, many non-Malays grew alienated by the discrimination they faced in accessing public sector resources. Thus, as voters in both communities swung to opposition parties in an election held in May 1969, the UMNO-led coalition, known as the Alliance, was gravely weakened. Shortly afterward, Malays and Chinese clashed in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, sparking ethnic rioting known as the May 13th incident. Two years of emergency rule followed during which parliament was closed. As the price for reopening parliament in 1971, UMNO imposed new curbs on civil liberties, thereby banning any questioning of the Malay “special rights” that are enshrined in constitution’s Article 153.

    1 Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I Have Been

    Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I have been unconsciously entangled in a historical process of the making of modern Buddhism. There was a Chinese temple beside my house in Penang, Malaysia. The main deity was likely a deified imperial court officer, though no historical record documented his origin. A mosque serenely resided along the main street approximately 50 meters from my house. At the end of the street was a Hindu temple decorated with colorful statues. Less than five minutes’ walk from my house was a Buddhist association in a two-storey terrace. During my childhood, the Chinese temple was a playground. My friends and I respected the deities worshipped there but sometimes innocently stole sweets and fruits donated by worshippers as offerings. Each year, three major religious events were organized by the temple committee: the end of the first lunar month marked the spring celebration of a deity in the temple; the seventh lunar month was the Hungry Ghost Festival; and the eighth month honored, She Fu Da Ren, the temple deity’s birthday. The temple was busy throughout the year. Neighbors gathered there to chat about national politics and local gossip. The traditional Chinese temple was thus deeply rooted in the community. In terms of religious intimacy with different nearby temples, the Chinese temple ranked first, followed by the Hindu temple and finally, the mosque, which had a psychological distant demarcated by racial boundaries. I accompanied my mother several times to the Hindu temple. Once, I asked her why she prayed to a Hindu deity.
  • DAP's Covenant with Middle Malaysia 2010

    DAP's Covenant with Middle Malaysia 2010

    DAP’s covenant with Middle Malaysia 2010 When I first took over as DAP Secretary-General in 2004, my colleagues and I were determined to lead a party that aspires not to be in perennial opposition but to be in government. A political party that has no aspirations for political power to implement programs beneficial to the people has no right to exist. When DAP first put forth this vision in 2005 on being a full partner in power within 10 years, few shared our hopes. But we had pinned our hopes on ordinary Malaysians yearning for change. DAP had persevered since 1966 due to our faith in Malaysians whether Muslims or non-Muslims wanting a fair deal, live in peace and harmony, prosper together and their children to grow up in a better world than they lived in. DAP leaders had labored through those painful years of legal prosecution and political persecution bound by our ideals in a Malaysian nation for all and our faith in the people. Many felt our struggle futile because they lost faith in the people sharing these ideals and wanting a better Malaysia. But the real and tough leaders and members in the DAP never lost hope. The political tsunami that was the 2008 general elections changed everything. No one expected change to happen so fast. The people have put their faith in us and we must repay their trust in us. Inexperienced though we were, we learned how to govern and we believe that Pakatan Rakyat has governed better in these two years than BN has in the last 20 years.

    Chew Mei Fun, the Right Candidate for Kajang State By-Election - BN Leaders Bernama 21 Feb 2014

    Chew Mei Fun, The Right Candidate For Kajang State By-Election - BN Leaders Bernama 21 Feb 2014 KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders unanimously supported the selection of MCA Vice-President Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun as the right candidate for the upcoming Kajang state by-election. People's Progressive Party (PPP) President, Datuk M.Kayveas described Chew, 50, as the suitable candidate due to her vast experience and capabilities. "She knows how to tackle the voters very well as she's been in the Federal government before. We have full faith in Chew as the right candidate for Kajang," he told reporters after the candidacy was announced by BN Deputy Chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in Kuala Lumpur, Friday. Penang-born Chew worked as a journalist, a teacher and held various positions in the advertising and creative industry before venturing into politics in 1991. Her first federal government job was confidential secretary to the then Deputy Culture, Arts and Tourism Minister, Teng Gaik Kwan, after which she was elected as Member of Parliament for Petaling Jaya Utara from 1999 to 2008. Later, she was Parliamentary Secretary of the Women, Family and Social Development Ministry from 2004 to 2008 and in 2009 promoted to Deputy Women, Family and Social Development Minister after being appointed as a senator. She lost the Petaling Jaya Utara Parliamentary seat after two terms to DAP's Tony Pua during the political tsunami in the 2008 General Election. MCA President Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the selection of Chew was a great honour for the party.

    Lapangan terbang seluruh negara selamat KUALA LUMPUR 28 Feb – Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai hari ini memberi jaminan semua lapangan terbang di negara ini berada dalam keadaan selamat. Katanya, orang ramai tidak perlu bimbang dengan aspek keselamatan di semua lapangan terbang negara ini termasuk Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur 2 (KLIA2) di mana rakyat Korea Utara, Kim Jong-nam, dibunuh pada 13 Februari lalu. “Lapangan terbang kita selamat dan pemeriksaan mendapati tidak ada sebarang bahan toksik. “Kita mahu memberitahu orang ramai supaya jangan risau, tiada apa yang perlu dibimbangkan. Kita akan terus mengukuhkan tahap keselamatan kita dari semasa ke semasa,” katanya. Tiong Lai yang juga Presiden MCA ditemui pemberita selepas melancarkan Pusat Kajian Sosial dan Polisi Tun Tan Cheng Lock di Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) di sini, hari ini.

Selain Uk-il, seorang lagi suspek yang dikehendaki bagi membantu siasatan kes itu ialah setiausaha kedua Kedutaan Korea Utara di Malaysia, Hyon Kwang-song yang berusia 44 tahun. Jong-nam, yang hidup secara terasing daripada adiknya pemimpin Korea Utara Kim Jong-un, dibunuh dengan bahan kimia yang kemudian dikenal pasti oleh Jabatan Kimia sebagai agen saraf VX. – BERNAMA SOURCE : UTUSAN MALAYSIA | PAGE: 4 | 1 MARCH 2017 .

    Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM) Is Committed to Defending and Campaigning for Human Rights in Malaysia and Other Parts of the World

    Suara Rakyat Malaysia (SUARAM) is committed to defending and campaigning for human rights in Malaysia and other parts of the world. The organisation began in 1989 as a campaign body for the abolition of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in the aftermath of the infamous Operasi Lalang when 106 Malaysians were detained without trial. Since then, it has evolved into the leading human rights organisation in Malaysia, committed to protecting, preserving and promoting human rights.

This attempt at reform has been reversed after yet another debacle for BN in the 2013 general election, epitomized by the about-turn decision on the promise to repeal the Sedition Act, with the Prime Minister seemingly bowing down to demands of extremist groups for his own political survival and bent on teaching dissenting voters a lesson.

Deputy Prime Minister and Barisan Nasional (BN) Deputy chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said, as such, the opportunity to contest in the Kajang by-election should not be wasted even though certain quarters suggested that the BN should not contest. "If this opportunity is not taken, then it is difficult to gauge the extend of acceptance by the Chinese community or the people towards the new MCA leadership," he told reporters after launching the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) programme at the Pagoh parliamentary constituency here today. The Deputy Prime Minister said : "Whatever the decision, it will become an indication of where they (MCA) stand, the remedial measures that can be taken and the basic struggles that they want to fight for the Chinese community. Probably it can be delivered at a by-election such as this one," he said. Muhyiddin said Chew was a suitable candidate because she was not only experienced in holding a post in the government but also a person with principles as well as having a good character. Muhyiddin said, in this by-election, the new MCA leadership was given the opportunity to prove to the voters that they were ready to help the Chinese community.
