Come what may, let us move on

Rakyat Malaysia had had enough of trouble around us. Too many " to be" and uncertainties. As we end September (since 308), let us put an end to all in fightings as well as political threats. Let us move on.

Whether PM Abdullah Badawi manage to hold on to his position, or should he step down, this is UMNO problem. Rakyat Malaysia wanted to move on with business, with good economy and with projects. We need to earn our living.

However, as we move on may we remind all politicians that uprightness and honesty is the rule of the game. When a man rob a shop of its cash we call him a rubber. When someone stold some goods from a store we call him a thief. Both must face the court of law. Now what do we call someone who swindled the public fund entrusted to their care? What do you call him when someone scheme their way to drain off public fund for their own benefit? As federal reserve is the backbone of national economy, such thieves and rubbers are called traitors to the naton. They must als face the court of law.

Thus if politicians continue to swindle public fund, they will be removed by the next genral election and they shall face the court of law.

Let us move on and we hope all politicians begin to prove their worth of our trust as public servants.

Back on the Board

In war you need to come to the Board to study the situation and to plan your battle strategy. With the plan all set up, you start to launch out phase by phase, while watching the result there is a need of review of battle plan and issuing new instruction.

Has our PKR failed? No. Has Anwar failed? No.
What we read and what we know is what is allowed to be revealed to the knowledge of the enemy camp. It can be for real, it can also be a battle tactic to cause confusion and fear on the opposite camp.

As far as 308 and 826 and 916 is concern, Rakyat Malaysia has won the battle. Rakyat Malaysia has driven into the mind of all politicians that people power can remove So and So, and also to make a change over of government and authority.

A strong opposition has caused the ruling party to be more conscious of the voice and misery of the Rakyat. Much has been seen to benefit the Rakyat. Much has taken place in this short while. It has even stirred up UMNO so much that they are trying to force the stepping down of their No.1 man, our PM.

Rakyat Malaysia must learn from 308. Never again to return two-thrid majority to any ruling party. Allow a strong watch man in the parliment.This will ensure better governance, better awareness of the suffering and need of the rakyat. This will result in prosperity sharing for all rakyat. Instead of seeing billions after billions being thrown down the drain, these national revene is used to improve the life and infra structure of Malaysia.

If Rakayat Malaysia felt that UMNO has learn the lesson well, and has humbled itself and commited to serve all rakyat, UMNO will still be in power.(Mind you, not BN. For BN is name sake, the member parties of BN has no influence over what UMNO wanted to act and do.) BN government is just a name, UMNO government is the reality.

However, Malaysians may prefered PKR---- new may be, but PKR has an idealogy for the people and nation. So, let us see how the two will perform after this 308 political tsunami.
The people wll watch and judge, and the people will cast the votes wisely again in the next general election.

It's Just the Beginning

Now that RPK is detained under ISA and sent to Kamunting Detention Camp, the people of Malaysia will make sure to speak out loud and clear in the next round of general election. Since what is expressed by the rakyat has gone unheeded, the next round will be a real loud and clear message.

Rakyat Malaysia know what is going on. We are not fools.

Just because Rakyat Malaysia prefered peace and order, saving our beloved nation from economic disasters, and preserving communal harmony, we have chosed to remain calm and self restrain.

What can the front line troopers do when confronted by heavily armed enemy forces? Remain calm and stay off temporary. Do not force your way into a sucidal attempt on the enemy. Even though it looks like a lost battle, but the war is not over yet. Now that the whole Rakyat Malaysia is awaken to change, it is a matter of time that change will take place. Do not go for unnecessary sacrifices, or else even the active troopers and its captain will be eliminated.

Withdraw and regathered for another real hit. Just be sincere and be wise. Coming out of a battle alive is a victory itself.

It's Now or Never

PKR Anwar Ibrahim must take swift action now to take over the rule of Malaysia. However, if this is not done by 23rd.Sep.08 there will be set back for all his supporters and even to those who have been with him since 308.

Surely the opposite camp will not sit to wait for Anwar to act. They will act fast to ensure their continuity in power. Thus our advice to Anwar is "It's now or never." All supporters and members of PKR and all rakyat Malaysia are waiting to see how Anwar prove himself to be a charismatic leader for Malaysia Baru.

The Umpire of the Game

Now the game is at its crisis. On one side is the UMNO team led by Pak Lah and on the other side is PKR led by Anwar.The Police force is the "Umpire" of the game. Being an umpire the police takes no side but to ensure the game is played fairly according to the rules.

Once a while a more influential party may insist the umpire to take side, it is up to the integrity of the umpire to play his role independently. Otherwise the game is spoilt by the umpire and may even cause an uproar from the spectators.

Here in Malaysia PKR is claiming to have enough MPs to take over the rule of the nation. There UMNO is threatening to stop the game for fear of losing it. Others in the UMNO associates just wait and see, hoping to benefit from the game. They are no players at all, just opprtunists. They have no idea of the game but just to hike along for some tip bits.

When this game is over, whoever may be the winners, these hikers are not respected by any party at all. The are sound board holders, good for echoes but no voice of its own.

We hope the game will be over soon. We are expecting the umpire to watch and be alert. Do not forget outside the ring of the game is also a ring of guards, ensuring everything is in order. The Cheif of the guards is also watching and monitoring closely the progress of the game.

Race Against Time

The progress of taking over is a race against time. (I am sure Anwar and the rest understand what I mean.) Do not underestaimate what the other party can and would do.

It is important to get it over in the shortest time.
Have the whole "cabinet candidates" appear before the King ASAP and get the YMM our beloved King to give his blessing.

If possible allow the King to announce the new cabinet to the nation.

It is not possible to expect our present PM to hand over the ruling of the nation to PKR simply. It is a pressure to our PM at this point of time.

Whatever, it is a race against time, not giving much time to foul play and for the safety of all.

Safety Measure

Now that 916 is over and the process of taking over is in progress, Rakyat Malaysia would like to request Anwar and all MPs of PKR to be careful in their going out and coming in. Make sure Anwar has some bodyguards with him. Try to keep secret of the movement of Anwar and change route ech time.

It is important to ensure the safety of Anwar and all PKR MPs.

Time of Decision

Time of opportunity is clicking away for MPs who have yet to make up their mind. Time for a change. Time to change into Keutamaan Rakyat rather than to move on in communal politic. Time to check corruption and time to uphold justice and fairness for all rakyat Malaysia.

PKR will only give opportunity for MPs who are convicted in PKR ideaology of governance: People's Power. No ruling classes, and no suppression of minority in Malaysia. Instead, it is time to really build up a nation with taleneted Malaysians, giving room of higher education for the bright and clever, creating technical training opportunity for those less incline to studies and reseach, and motivating the rakyat as productive manpower for building the nation.

Once PKR has successfully secure the rule of the nation, strict condition will be imposed for people who wanted to "sneak in" as opportunist to join up with PKR.Non committed parties and personality do not deserve the right to govern the nation. PKR only welcome people who place rakyat as their main concern, people who wanted to build up Malaysia, not so much of building up personal prosperity through politic.

It is up to political parties and individual to check and review their political priority and to decide whether or not to join up with PKR.

Surely there are many who live up to PKR idealogy: Keutamaan Rakyat Malaysia, Kemakmuran dan Kemajuan Negara Tercinta Malaysia Kita.

Role of Our King and His army

Soldiers are not politicians. Soldiers are protector of the King and Malaysia. As soldiers they only listen to orders from their Chief: here is our beloved King.

Whatever the amendment had done regarding to the power and position of our King, YAB YMM our beloved King is the Head of Malaysia and the Commander-in-Chief of Malaysian armed forces.

When politicians are massing with the peace and stability of the nation, we are sure our beloved King will have to check the whole situation. Our King must be ready to put the military to work--- protecting the nation from any form of unrest. Only the King will appoint the person he sees fit to form an interim body to help him rule the nation. He may not appoint those who have lost the favour of the rakyat and pick on a man whom he sees winning the support of the general rakyat of Malaysia.

The King's main interest is to put down unrest and restoring peace. The King's main concern is to place a man he can trust to help reshaping the next government.

Our prayer and hope is that politicians should know that they are playing with fire. They should check and hold back themselves. Anyone who incites trouble for the nation (politicians are responsible for it in most incidents), should be make to face the court of law.

The army is the protector of the King and nation, the guarantor for our Merdeka Constitution. The army is not policitically inclined.It works independetly.

Same goes to the police forces. An independent police force, carrying out their duty professionally, will ensure justice and fairness in dealing with criminals. Take no side politically. A government is elected by the rakyat, decided by the MPs who deem to give their best for a better Malaysia. Any MP who fails to do his job professionally will be removed in the next general election. A government which does not perform, will also be changed over in the general election. Only when such is understood and practised will elected MPs be careful in their performance. In any foul play the police should step in---- that is the job of the police to see that no foul play of any form in this democratic system.

D-Day 916

It is time for Anwar to move, and move fast!
Those Malaysians and MPs who believe that our Demoractic System is more of a tyrant behind the screen of democrasy, all must denounce such system. Stand forward with Anwar and re shape the future of our beloved nation.

Anwar must act fast before he himself is sacrificed by such ruthless system. Those MPs who had been swallowing their anger and dissatisfaction over all these years must make a stand this day. Save Malaysia! Save our Democracy System. Rid of absolute power and corruption.

Many have sacrifice for the dream of 916. RPK is one of them. efore too many suffer for the dream of 916, Anwar must act now.

God bless Malaysia. Hidup Malaysia!

Thanks but No Thanks

It was a great relief for all Malaysians when reporter Lee Hoon Cheng was unconditionally released from her ISA detention. Though she was detained for a short while yet a mistake is made. If our authority can make such a blunder is carrying out their duty, it only goes to reflect the rashness and imaturity in their decision.

Just hope that our authority will exercise more discretion in carrying out their duty.
Now that reporter Lee is back home, we just hope Teresa Kok, an elected MP, YB, and also a executive in the Majlis be given a fair chance to defend herself in the court of law. Hopefully people like Ahmad Ismail should be put off in jail and not Teresa Kok who was just airing the concern of some. A matter that can be easily ignored. It was not worth even to take note of. As for RPK his writings should serve as a venue for the government of the day to check and review in matters discussed by his writings. A frank and fair comment on matters that concern the rakyat and the nation. If ever any party found that what he wrote is not true, make use of the court to make extra income---- challenge him in court. Why be scared of his writing if it is false. The rakyat knows how to judge. The rakyat are not fools.

Thus rakyat Malaysia hopes to see both in court rather than being detained under ISA.

Threat to Malaysian Democracy

What is the whole idea of democracy? It is to practise a system whereby the government of the day is: the government by the people and for the people. The people here means the citizens, the rakyat. In order for democracy to exist well in Malaysia, the government of the day must be willing to hear from the suara rakyat---people's voice.

Early this morning news reported that Raja Petra was detained under ISA again. Same goes to Teresa Kok and MP ffrom DAP and also a news reporter Tan Hoon Cheng of Sin Chew Jit Pao.
Malaysians could understand if Ahmad Ismail is detained. He had shown no respect for both the PM and DPM in the pretense of speaking for his people.He had also shown no respect to Khor Soo Khoon the ex-Chief Minister of Penang by allowing his supporter to tear the potrait of Khor Soo Khoon before the camera.

Even after the disciplinary action by UMNO Ahmad still show no sign of restrain with his words and action. If such is arrested all Malaysians could very well understand the reason behind it. However, for arresting a reporter who reported the incident, and also a MP and Raja Petra, all Malaysians cannot understand the rational behind it.

Why must people be arrested whenever UMNO has its internal conflict? This time, the component parties must voice out otherwise the results of the next general election will seal their fate.

We loved the nation, we appreciated the achievement accomplished by BN so far. However, BN has become arrogant and not hearing the voice of the rakyat. Many thought 308 should help BN to check themselves, but no. BN has become more unbearable. Whatever may happen to BN it is BN that asked for it.

Hidup Malaysia! Malaysia Maju!Rakyat bersatu hak rakyat dijamin. Government is elected to power, it can also be put out of power.Malaysia Boleh!

We are all Pendatang !

I come across this interesting article. Hope those who read this will help to varify the facts. Nevertheless, it is an intersting article written by a learned Malay writer.

Antara pendatang dan penumpang
Pada mulanya saya agak keberatan nak ulas kekecohan yang berpunca ekoran daripada kenyataan ketua UMNO bahagian Bukit Bendera, Pulau Pinang bernama Ahmad bin Ismail. Sama ada benar atau tidak apa yang didakwa dikatakan olehnya mengenai rakyat Malaysia keturunan Cina bukan persoalannya kerana isu tersebut sudahpun merebak dan mengapi-apikan keadaan.Jika tidak ditangani dengan cermat, teliti dan bijak, isu itu boleh ditangguk dalam air yang keruh oleh anasir-anasir yang ingin melihat negara ini hancur serta mengundang campur tangan kuasa asing. Dalam zaman dunia tanpa sempadan dan liputan meluas dan segera oleh media elektronik antarabangsa, apa yang berlaku di sesebuah negara itu tidak dapat disembunyi atau dinafikan.

Isu pokok yang dibangkitkan oleh Ahmad Ismail membabitkan persoalan "menumpang" iaitu rakyat Malaysia keturunan Cina adalah penumpang di negara ini. Beliau menjelaskan bahawa ia merujuk kepada zaman pra-Merdeka. Bagaimanapun, sensitiviti rakyat Malaysia keturunan Cina telah terguris.Saya tidak mengenali secara peribadi Ahmad Ismail, tetapi kenal agak rapat dengan Allahyarham abangnya, Abdul Rahim Ismail, pemilik Syarikat Pembinaan Rahim yang pada satu ketika dahulu agak terkenal sebagai sebuah firma pembinaan Bumiputera yang unggul di Pulau Pinang. Saya tidak tahu apa dah jadi dengan syarikat itu selepas Abdul Rahim meninggal dunia.

Secara peribadi, saya tidak setuju dengan apa yang didakwa dikata oleh Ahmad Ismail atas beberapa sebab.Bagi saya, hampir 90 peratus rakyat Malaysia , khususnya di Semenanjung, adalah pendatang dan kita semua sebenarnya menumpang hidup di bumi Allah. Kita bukan pemilik kekal tetapi hanya menumpang.Sebagai contoh, saya sendiri adalah keturunan pendatang yang menumpang hidup di bumi bertuah ini. Datuk nenek di sebelah bapa saya berhijrah dari Makkah dan dari Brunei ke sini manakala di sebelah ibu pula dari Hadhramut, Yaman. Kami adalah pendatang dan penumpang sama seperti hampir semua penduduk negara ini khususnya di Pulau Pinang .

Bagi Ahmad Ismail, dia juga datang dari keluarga pendatang dan menumpang hidup di negara ini. Ahmad Ismail tidak boleh menafikan hakikat bahawa datuk neneknya adalah pendatang dari India untuk menerokai penghidupan yang lebih baik dan selesa di bumi bertuah ini.Perdana Menteri Abdullah bin Ahmad juga tergolong dalam kategori yang sama. Datuknya di sebelah ibu adalah pendatang dari wilayah Guandong , China . Pendek kata, datuk Pak Lah iaitu bapa Allahyarhamah Kailan bernama Hassan Salleh atau Hah Su Chiang adalah seorang pendatang. Beliau berhijrah ke Tanah Melayu dari wilayah Guandong ( Kwantung ) pada pertengahan abad ke-19 dan menetap di Bayan Lepas sebagai pekebun getah, pesawah padi dan kemudian saudagar intan berlian.Najib Tun Razak, Timbalan PM juga berasal daripada keluarga pendatang iaitu dari Sulawesi, Indonesia atau lebih senang disebut orang Bugis manakala sepupunya Hishamudin Hussein tidak terlepas daripada darah keturunan Turki.Datuk nenek mantan PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad juga pendatang dari Kerala , India manakala ibu Almarhum Tunku Abul Rahman berasal dari negeri Siam ( Thailand ).

Kesultanan Melayu Melaka pun dibuka oleh orang pendatang dari Sumatra bernama Parameswara, seorang anak raja atau bangsawan beragama Hindu.Dalam sejarah kesultanan Melayu, kita dapati ada yang ditubuh oleh pendatang dari Bugis dan ada pula dari Hadhramut selain dari Minangkabau.Hampir semua orang Melayu di sini berasal dari luar Tanah Melayu tetapi diiktiraf sebagai "bangsa Melayu" oleh Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Kita adalah "Melayu mengikut takrifan Perlembagaan" iaitu beragama Islam, mengamalkan adat resam Melayu dan bertutur dalam bahasa Melayu. Malangnya, bahasa Melayu nampaknya dimatikan oleh orang Melayu (UMNO) sendiri apabila dinamakan sebagai bahasa Malaysia . Oleh itu, orang Arab seperti Syed Hamid Albar dan saya, orang Aceh seperti Sanusi Junid, orang India seperti Kader Sheikh Fadzir dan Nor Mohamed Yakcop, orang Bugis seperti Najib, orang Minang seperti Rais Yatim, orang Jawa seperti Mohamad Rahmat dan yang lain seperti dari Madura, Pulau Boyan, Siam, Burma, Yunnan (China) dan selatan Filipina dengan mudah boleh diiktirf sebagai "Melayu".Mereka diterima sebagai orang Melayu tidak kira sama ada mereka bertutur bahasa Melayu atau tidak di rumah umpamanya si Arab berbahasa Arab, si Jawa berbahasa Jawa dan si Minang berbahasa Minang atupun si Mamak berbahasa Tamil.Bahasa-bahasa yang disebut itu bukan bahasa Melayu dan jika dilihat dari sudut Perlembagaan Persekutuan, tidak boleh diterima atau diiktiraf sebagai bangsa Melayu. Walau bagaimanapun, atas kepentingan dan faktor politik, semuanya diterima sebagai Melayu dan Bumiputera.Oleh itu, adalah tidak adil untuk menuding jari kepada orang Cina yang juga kaum pendatang sama seperti orang Arab, India, Aceh, Minang, Batak, Mandailing, Jawa, Madura mahupun Bugis, sebagai menumpang di negeri ini. Kita tidak boleh menafikan bahawa sebilangan besar datuk nenek orang Cina telah berhijrah ke negeri ini semasa Kesultanan Melayu Melaka, bahkan kesultanan-kesultanan terdahulu di Kedah mahupun Terengganu dan Kelantan serta semasa Francis Light berjaya menipu Sultan Kedah untuk menduduki Pulau Pinang pada 1786.

Kita adalah kaum pendatang yang menumpang hidup di negeri ini. Golongan yang boleh diiktiraf sebagai orang asal atau anak bumi tulen adalah mereka yang kita kenali sebagai Negrito, Jakun, Semang, Jahut, Orang Laut, Orang Darat, Senoi dan suku kaum masyarakat Asli lain yang masih menjadi penghuni belantara.Kita tidak harus lupa akan sumbangan dan pengorbanan semua kaum dan suku kaum untuk membangunkan Malaysia sama ada dari sudut ekonomi, kemasyarakatan, keselamatan dan yang paling penting kesepakatan dan perpaduan. Semua orang yang kena dan seharusnya membayar cukai, berbuat demikian tanpa mengira kaum atau asal keturunan, sama ada pendatang atau penumpang.

Kita semua adalah rakyat Malaysia .

A Thought on 916

Our nation is called MALAYSIA. A new nation that was born out of the union of Malaya,Sabah and Sarawak. To a right minded Malaysian the day of the formation of this new nation is just as important as the independent day of Malaya on 31st.August. However, from the view of history, 31st.August is historical as far as Malaya is concern. It is just like any other dates in the history of Malaya.

But to all Malaysians 916 is the date of the birth of Malaysia. It is still valid uptil this vary day. A date that is directly concerning ALL MALAYSIANS whether be it in Malaya or Sabah or Sarawak. It is truely the National Day for Malaysia.

To neglect such a date is like forgeting Sabah and Sarawak, or neglecting the contributions of Sabah and Sarawak to Malaysia. Malaya is a historical entity, or more correct to say, it is just a "state" of Malaysia. Penang, Perak etc is just a state of Malaya.However, in the process of forming Malaysia, we have all agreed to adopt the Merdeka Constitution as our foundamental constitution for all states and the acceptance of Malaya as it is. Thus we have what we are today.

Now as we recall 916, we are trying to restate the equal importance of all states in Malaysia. This date reminded us the accurate presentation of Malaysia, restoring the importance and appreciation of the coming together of Sabah and Sarawak with Malaya.

916 is also a reminder that PKR is placing a greater empahsis in the importance of rakyat Malaysia in its governance, while respecting what is enshrined in the Constitution in matters to the special privilege of Malay tradition,culture and language.

When PKR comes into power, 916 will be given a special emphasis.

Review of the "Pendatang" Mentality

If you ask me how I look at the "Pendatang Remark" by Bukit Bendera Umno Chief YB Ahmad Ismail, I would say he is not the first to have think that way for the non Bumi Malaysians. In fact, if you were to trace any record of racist UMNO members' talk and action, they have not learn to respect other Malaysians all this while. UMNO is always working on "Ketuanan Melayu" mind set. Their humba-humba (slaves and subordinates) like MIC, MCA,Gerakan etc are just tools to their achievement in power. Any of the component party member spoken out against some UMNO policy, it is termed as not towing the "Barisan spirit". In time when UMNO is strong they will disicipline such "rebellous "member or demand their respective party to discipline their own member.

PKR is on "Keutamaan Rakyat" mind set. PKR will treat all Malaysians equal while giving much thoughts and care for those who are in poverty and under privileged. PKR would learn to place the nation above party interest.PKR will work with all Malaysians who believe in " Malaysia for Malaysians."

Thus it is enough of the hu hah over Ahmad Ismail's remark. It is pointless to even talk about it. If Malaysians disagree with Ahmad Ismail, just come over to PKR! Listen to how UMNO addresses the action of the BN government. It is not called BN government it is always mentioned as UMNO this and UMNO that. BN is UMNO and UMNO is BN. Others are just tools and instrumental for UMNO to do what UMNO wants.

My advice is for all Malaysians to think right and make good use of the opportunity to build up a nation that respect all rakyat Malaysians !

Look for yourselves how you have been fooled by the clown? Now his new tricks is to give a fully paid holidays for all BN MPs. A right minded citizen would ask if it is the right thing to do when economy is so bad. If not, why? What purpose? Why go along with UMNO if you realise it is wrong. Join PKR.
