Both can continue to fool around !


Look at the relieved face of Razak Baginda and the revelry of his family, wife and the daughter, I feel a warmth stream of blood like lava disrupting from the inner heart, little to feel on his behalf that freedom and family compassion are the topmost precious in a man's life! More to the contrary, I have a feeling of undue disturbance and eerie to the extent which caused my goose pimples stand! Why? Is this the way our judiciary system runs, a world spotlighted felony, a cold blood murder of an alien connected to the powerful bloc, such a heavily accused and suspected criminal can just walk out scot free from the august Court room with a broad smile in his face, as if nothing had happened!

Whilst he spent 151 days in the lock up, he might have been well served with nutritional food of his choice, by looking at his feature of being well composed, he has even put up weight and healthy complexion he has demonstrated to the cameras of the journalists from around the world! Only poor RPK had been dogged in the same court room with his pale and blanched looking, as if he had syndrome of post-natal depression! Such an eye striking contrast it has been! Perhaps this is facts of life in Malaysia, "who you know" is most decisive of your fate howsoever in career undertaking or life surviving and entertaining factors!

When Razak Baginda was asked the first question upon his acquittal, he relaxed with a gleam of glee :- "I want to go home"........."That's right, go home and go fast, your wife is waiting........."! - I murmur to myself.

During 151 days locked up in the cubicle where he was opened to eyes surveillance, there was no way he could do anything to appease his human nature, his sex drive! Notwithstanding his strong will power to control himself, being a sex maniac of ultra desires, he has to find a way to release the tension and here comes the opportunity, he can go home now and hug his wife and to.................!!

I must take this glimpse of time to remind him of the most recent reforms, the update of the latest 'Fatwa' that dictates - "Tomboy and yoga are to be banned, and, blow job is not allowed as it is against the natural course"! So be very careful when he rashly jumps into the bed without the thick curtain drawn and make sure any pinhole gadget or cameras of paparazzi are not somewhere around to catch him or her using the mouth and the tongue!

He is still in the limelight, not safe yet! The whole world is still watching! His Allah may only bless him!

When Najib calls (no more sms) :- "Well, continue with your fun, I will call you later....!". So compassionate and such a boon companion he is!.......................

A Day which marks the doom of justice........



Razak Baginda acquitted

UPDATED

SHAH ALAM, Oct 31 —Political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda was today acquitted by the High Court here of abetting in the gruesome murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.

Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 32, and Corporal Sirul Azha Umar, 37, who are members of the police Special Action Force (UTK), were, however, ordered to enter their defence to the charge of murder.

The prosecution is expected to file an appeal against Razak's acquittal.

Today's decision will certainly send shockwaves and arouse even more controversy because of Razak's ties to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Razak is a close associate of the DPM.

Najib has consistently denied any involvement in the case or that he even knew the victim but he has spent the past two years finding it hard to shrug off the non-stop allegations made against him by his opponents.

High Court judge Datuk Mohamad Zaki Md Yasin said the prosecution had failed to establish a case against Razak. But he ordered the two policemen to enter their defence.

"I am satisfied that there is a prima facie case for the first accused Azilah and for the second accused Sirul.

"For the third accused Abdul Razak Baginda, I found there is no prima facie case. He is therefore acquitted and discharged," ruled Zaki.

On hearing the judge's decision Razak wore a smile so bright it eclipsed the sombre dark suit and five o'clock shadow on his face.

His wife openly wept and his daughter, who sat on the right side of the gallery, heaved her shoulders in great relief. His father looked visibly relaxed after the ruling was made and his mother cried "Alhamdullilah!"

"I just want to go home," Razak told reporters after hugging his family as he tried to leave the court house.

He had arrived earlier in a Black Maria at 8.49am together with the other two accused but he when he left at about 10.30am, it was in a silver Volvo SUV in the company of his wife and daughter.

Razak, 48, had faced the death penalty if he had been convicted of abetting in the killing of Altantuya, with whom he had an eight-month affair.

He has acknowledged having the affair. The prosecution had argued he ordered her killing after she pestered him for money.

Altantuya was allegedly shot before her body was blown up with explosives two years ago.

Azilah and Sirul are jointly charged with murdering Altantuya, 28, at a location in Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor between 10am on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am the following day.

Razak was charged with abetting them.

The prosecution closed its case against the trio on June 23 after 151 days of testimony from 84 witnesses.

The trial of the two policemen will continue on Nov 10.

The Malaysian Hope.........

Today, I have removed my gloomy picture captured from candlelite vigil and replaced with one of the spectacular Wonders in the World, the limestone isle which is floating on the sea of Halong Bay, Vietnam. It is said to be part of the 7th Wonders of the World and truly, only God can create such an impossible structure in the deep water with only two blocks of limestone standing out in the bosom of the sea!

Look at them, the towering figures symbolic of a couple of Hero and Heroine, the respectable Hero Raja Petra Kamarudin and his Heroine, Madame Marina, both are clinging and outstandingly facing the choppy sea! Due to their standing tall, the rippling sea can merely stoop low and kiss their assess! They are as tall as nearly to touch the sky blue over the heads. They are like the beacons and they are indeed the beacon of hopes for the boat peoples holding at bay behind the posture!

Far to the backdrop is a chain of mountains where in the caves, live the sabre-toothed cats and foxy wolves they call themselves the Government! They are keeping close watch at the iconic tumbling blocks to their filthy and piratic governance yet, cowardly, sending out an espionage boat spying and trailing behind the towering statues and the big boat of peoples, with one mule-like Home Minister at helm the steering wheel!

Very soon, all the beastly cavemen and the spy will be chased out in the cold and they will be seen scrambling to the straws and be drifted away! In the next tsunami, this is definitely to happen and while they are drifting and drowning deep into the sea, the towering statues of the Hero and Heroine will steadfastly maintain the stance, the beacon becomes more glaring and sparkling bright!

From thence sees the rippling sea ebbs and turns peaceful, the sky clears and serene blue invited, the people in the cruisers in high spirit revelry! A new Malaysia has been given birth!

" Happy Deepavali " ?!


A man takes a picture of a 'kolam' at a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur. The kolam is believed to bring happiness and prosperity to Hindus who celebrate Deepavali today. — AP pic

Deepavali is supposed to be an auspicious day for all Malaysian Indians in the Nation to celebrate with families, friends and associates. Billions of people in the world will be celebrating this grand occasion in buffets if today, 27/10/08, is globally an official Deepavali Day. With Malaysia exempted perhaps, this day of auspicious has turned gloomy due to the many problems facing the Hindraf, the poor Indians whose welfare had been purportedly undermined and marginalized! It has to certain extent been compounded by the unpopular Home Minister, Syed Hamid Albar who just inconsiderately declared Hindraf as an outlaw and thereof clampdown on the families of Hindraf with stern actions of arrest under the Society Act, which supposedly a mild act but was exaggerated to be linked with Terrorist Act based on their usual 'ultra vires' way of misrepresenting the law! It's very disheartening to have seen law and justice in this Bolehland once again be abused and trampled on!

Ironically, those from the house of totalitarian, the PM, the ex-PM, the Ministers who rode rough shod over human rights and decimated Hindraf members brutally, rose as early birds to sing serenade and greet their Deepavali wishes likened the wicked owls' hooting! 'Happy Deepavali' spelled out from the hooked beak of the owl wouldn't it be sounded sarcastic and be felt as an insult to the suffering families?!

Anecdotally, the uncouth big mouth Sammy Vellu may have thrown big buffet to entertain his cohorts during this day of suffers by Hindraf, without his repentance to chew the cud, and take accounts of what had been gone wrong to have caused all these grievances to his brotherhoods, the Hindraf! Despite seeing all misfeasance that ever has been committed by the Authority which his big mouth can refute, he preferred to condone it, adore it! Let alone his philanthropic compassion, if any, he has further spoiled the day of introspection with his hypocritical political stance and posture!

"Happy Deepavali" ? Will all our Indian compatriots truly have the mood and heart to enjoy it in full revelry?

I do not and I believe even the Lord does not enjoy to see his subjects being discriminated and tortured, evidenced by the sun was thickly veiled behind clouds, and, judging from these so many days of gloomy and torrential rains which I view as an admonition of the Almighty to forewarn the evilly and relentless humankind in the guise of pious Muslim and loyal Government !

"To err is human". We are only humans and provided all including the Government that be could be repentant, and bring back all those alleged revolting subjects from astray, put them back to the righteous course and serve them right with the prerequisite freedom, justice and fair democracy only to find respects and stalwart supports whole heartedly from the rakyat, will surely culminate in the true spirit of "Happy Deepavali and A Prosperous Malaysia" all in together!

The vox-populi has its resonance......


KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 - Malaysia will ditch the RM2.3 billion Eurocopter defence deal as it battens down to face the global economic storm, sources said today.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri NajibAbdul Razak decided to cut out the EC725 military helicopter contract over the weekend when the government reviewed its expenses in light of falling revenues from crude oil and palm oil and slowing economic growth for the next few years.

"The Eurocopter deal is off due to the bleak economic times ahead," a source told The Malaysian Insider.Opposition leaders and critics had savaged the purchase of the dozen EC725 helicopters, saying its RM193 million price tag per aircraft was more than double of Brazil's contract for 50 EC725 helicopters, which came tom RM84 million per aircraft. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said it will investigate the deal.

Prime Minister and Defence Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had earlier said he will investigate claims of irregularities over the purchase of military helicopters after company representing a rival military chopper, the Kazan MI-172, said it offered to sell a dozen helicopters at RM898 million, RM1.5 billion less than the Eurocopter deal.

But the Kazan MI-172 is expected to be phased out of production soon although it shares similarities with the current Nuri helicopter fleet, particularly its rear ramp door that is used for troop and materiel transport.

Opposition parties had also lodged reports with the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) asking for investigations as the tender was allegedly awarded before evaluations were completed and two days before Najib swapped the defence portfolio with Abdullah.

The government earlier through a Cabinet meeting on July 18, 2007 had made the decision to acquire new helicopters to replace the Nuri aircraft following a series of crashes for the aging transport' helicopters in the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF).

The Nuri or Sikorsky S-61A-4 came into Malaysian service in 1968. The medium transport aircraft has suffered 18 crashes and killed 95 servicemen and is due to be phased out in 2012. There reportedly only 31 left in RMAF service.

However, sources said the Nuris would have been pressed into service with the Army Air Wing if the EC725s arrived on time. The Eurocopter EC725 or Cougar is a medium lift helicopter that is used for combat search and rescue missions.

The Cougar, which can carry up to 29 soldiers, beat out the Sikorsky H-92, the AgustaWestland EH-101 Merlin, the Boeing CH-47F and the Russian MI-172 in an open international tender issued at the Langkawi International Maritime and Air Show in December 2007.

Sources said Eurocopter won the deal as it also proposed to invest RM250 million to upgrade Malaysia's maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capacity in its Subang facility as part of its tender.It has already invested about RM45 million in Malaysia and had plans to spend anotherRM20 million this year to expand its Subang facility as well as MRO facilities in Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.

Apart from the Nuris, the RMAF operates the A109 light utility helicopters and Super Pumas for VIP service.

Footnote Comments:-

Eurocopter has built in too much 'grease' in the contract which showed redundant as bribing and corrupt manipulation, obvious in any other non-transparent tenders particularly true to the negotiated tenders which have been underway practiced all these while in the Government projects and procurement contracts!

In preparing to head on with the financial crisis, the public welcomes the move of Pak Lah to ditch down the hatches and give emphasis to the salvage of many financial institutions, banks which are already on the brink of facing the pressure of carnage amidst the credit crunch has bitten in!

Makes hay while the sun shines is what the Government should be proactive of !

To Whom the Welfare goes??

PEKAN: Probably for the first time, the executive branch of government has asked a parliamentary oversight committee to probe the government purchase of 12 helicopters from Eurocopter to replace the aging Nuri.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the cabinet, at its weekly meeting last Friday, gave the green light to request the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to investigate the procurement of the 12 Cougar EC725 helicopters for the RMAF.


"I suggested the move and the cabinet has agreed to it."

The Eurocopter Cougar was one of four makes short listed by the air force. The other three were the Sikorsky S92, Agusta Westland AW-101 Merlin and the Russian-made Mil Mi-17 Hip.

Speaking to reporters here after hosting a Raya open house for his constituents yesterday, he said it was better for the PAC to inquire into the deal.
"The PAC can make its own conclusion of the purchase after studying the various issues involved in the deal."

The PAC would begin its inquiries despite Defence Ministry secretary-general Datuk Abu Bakar Abdullah's assurances last week that the acquisition of the Eurocopter EC725s was in accordance with regulations.


Najib hoped that the PAC would start work quickly and get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible.



Footnote by Candidman:-


The hasty decision of Najib, the former Minister of Defence, has inevitably drawn flaks from the public, for the general vox-pop opinions have found his decision more a dubious and inconsiderate of the present economics situation of the Nation! When the rakyat in general expect him to be a PM in waiting to look at the overall interests of the Nation, he still found it relevant to spend such an extravagant amount of resources for merely 12 units of Cougar flying machines at unbelievable star rates, which is suspected of a scheming contract aims at spill over milking of Umno warlords through exorbitant marked up! For this is not the first time and too often Najib has been popularly known as the proponent of such unruly tactics of corruption, with his Altantuya scandal won the award. He has yet to prove to the whole Malaysian nationals that his integrity was not at stake!


What other better reason than this, when we all know of our local expertise and technological know-how, that, we still need to rely on the advanced technology transfer in terms of hardware spare parts and skills to manoeuvre the more advanced helicopters. They will cost the Nation a bomb of maintenance and orientation training costs in times to flow! Shouldn't Najib thinks of the proper dispensing of national resources for more meaningful causes and welfare for the needy rakyat?!


When all other Nations are well geared to face the looming economics tsunami, more so anticipated to be atomic and disastrous than the 1997 financial crisis, can our PM in waiting afford to just take for granted and to take care of his only personal political ego and self-seeking agenda, without concerned of the rakyat's appeal, not heeding the voices of call for change of a more accountable, clean and innovative Administration should be in the making?! Can he then expect anything more than the ill public perception conceived of against his ever deceitful and scandalous image so far being demonstrated and portrayed?!

The Undying Wind of Change...

In the august Parliament House of Malaysia, heated debates were in crossfire exchanges yesterday. The veteran Opposition leader from DAP, Lim Kit Siang was in his furore, queried the Finance Minister, the PM in waiting Najib Razak wanting a clarification from him to convince the public on why should he award a procurement contract to Eurocopter for an order of 12 units Cougar EC 725 helicopters at a total contract price of RM2.317 billions, which is suspected to be overpriced and an alleged mark-up of over RM1.30 billions in excess! Such price difference was based on the relative comparison between the highest and the lowest in the bid prices of the tenders. An exorbitant in pecuniary value of RM1.30 billions is a huge amount of monies which, if used in the much more proper causes, to help those live on or below the poverty line, each household can conveniently receive RM 1,300.00 to help ease the pressures they face during the critical time of recession and an aid to help combat the spiraling inflation! Shouldn't Najib consider this as the topmost priority than the purchase of flying machines which is of no dire needs?!

Whilst agreeing with Lim Kit Siang's duty-bound statement, being one of the tax payers group, I too find it curious to ask the Minister concerned why now amid the anticipated financial crisis, should he decide to award the contract with such exorbitant amount to purchase the flying machines at this juncture of time?! Had he found it alarming due to the looming invasion of global financial fire-storms which required the deployment of advanced helicopters to defend and slug it out?! Or had he found it needing and necessary for him to sign and seal the contract prior to his leaving the office of Defence to his new portfolio of Finance Minister? He has to do it so hastily due to some personal reasons or what is the rational behind?! Would it be possibly another scheming contract created as the money churning machine to roll out goodies to grease the electoral college, to facilitate his plan to the procurement of nominations and votes to the highest position in Umno?! It goes without saying as this is not a new topic but an old tradition in Umno politics! It will be hard for Najib to convince the intellectual public to believe that during every Umno election, the award of sky-rocketing contract rates are not embedded with hidden costs, and it is a mere co-incidence the award of mega contract falling in the election time duration!

All these mal-practices and manipulated transactions had been the open card games so frequently played under the spotlight. Due to inter-collaboration amongst the BN components, they were kept as the open secrets and no one opposition party had been capable of washing the dirty linen in the public due to their mosquito voice and also their trivial minority! Perhaps also, it's due to some other reasons which were beyond any knowledge of the public that allowed the corrupters to sneak out from the leeway unchecked each time and too often! According to some unverified sources, the monies siphoned and absconded to overseas bank had been more than trillions ringgit in amounts cumulative! Those were the jobs of the retired Ministers, virtually they are also the looters, the once very famous and notorious politicians who formed the powers that be!

The poor citizenry or the Rakyat are at the receiving end, chewing bitter pills yet unrelieved of themselves the suffers from all those ailments of the Nation! Knowing all those political foul plays, inappropriation of national wealths, plundering and looting acts if not checked at all, eventually will ruin and grave the whole Country in no time! Yet nothing can be done! Other than expressing concerns of dissatisfactions, protestings and whinings, there seems to be of little effect to rectify and remedy the situation, only to see it deteriorating and plunging deeper and deeper into the mire! The peoples continue to suffer, the politicians continue to posture with their ever convincing hypocritical stance, they continue to capitalize from the ever never be stripped prestiges and the prerogatives of tooling on the archaic, the unabated draconian laws to gag and suppress the rakyat from becoming dissidents! The evidence of Raja Petra Kamarudin or RPK emerged as one of the most influential and notorious dissidents who has belief in total freedom, justice, peace and anti-corruptions proponent had been immediately stone killed and put under captive! When no law was capable of accusing him of any crime, they the power that be simply threw him down by brute force, condemned him with the unbecoming penalty of categorized blas-phemous to religion, the most absurd and bare bone accusation only to prove their own blas-phemous with such misrepresentation of tenets which has had drawn flaks from the Muslim community! It has caused the Country to become a world class laughing stock as well!

Awaken and come around with so many sober minds, the bugle of alert for the war of reformation has been blown, the decent Rakyat with RPK on the vanguard, with Dato Zaid Ibrahim on the right flank, the vocal voices of Change have been thrown high to the sky beyond the land! It's going to be a peaceful and long term struggle, by critics and by peaceful protests! Lest we are provoked, we are being pushed to the limit, the peaceful struggle will prevail and prevalent until success is won!

Only the most feudalistic and despotic Government will believe that it is a spontaneous and short lived struggle. Only they will believe that by adamant oppressive measures of iron fists will subdue the burning desires of the desperate Rakyat the needs of Change for betterment! And only the decent public will believe time has come ripe for the desired Change that we all longing for! For the sake of the Nation, for the sake of the succeeding younger generations, the struggle must be resolutely undying until and unless we have seen a new Malaysia, a clean in politics and universally democratic Malaysia! This is our promise!

Woe is Pak Lah?


Without much ado, Pak Lah has sworn out from the office of Umno Presidency taking effect from March, 2009. He will still be the Umno President and the Prime Minister for 5 more months before he goes for retirement. Though unwillingly, he still maintained his pretended cool, kitty smiling and shook hand with his Deputy, a sibling rival, one who had put a knife in his back! It was a scene of apathetic blended with pathetic characters!

A bit to my surprise, Pak Lah wished to choose step down much more earlier than his proposed transition plan. Minutes before he went to announce his relinquishment, his staunch supporters of whom inclusive of some senior Ministers had flanked along the passage of his official residence, tugged banner to urge him to stay, promising that they will trade in enough nominations for him to stand for the incumbent post of Umno President. He shocked all his supporters by his ultra-decisiveness this time, affirmatively stick on to the fidelity of his consent to step down not later than March next year! His declaration to step down earlier inevitably and immediately have seen Najib, Muhyddin and those who wanted him out indulged in revelry even before Pak Lah rounded up his footnote in the conference room. This is the reality of politics, this is also facts of life in the tricky and hypocritical arena of politics where all politicians will have to face and take it. The fittest survive! It's akin to in the boxing ring, when Foreman was TKO by Tyson, all his fans would prop him up and Foreman would be left bleeding and unheeded! It takes time for Pak Lah to get himself consoled and return to calmness from sentiments of complexity!

Now that the falcon is taking over the cuckoo's nest. Before the falcon dwells in, come with the crows, boisterous and flapping wings wanting to fight for second fiddle position in the nest! Impudently the cuckoo was snubbed at relentlessly and all the used to be cordiality has immediately subsided and disappeared!

By looking at this scenario of a wild life's tussle for survival feast, if Pak Lah were to rethink and regret of his mistake to make such a lightly decision of succumbing to the power wrest, would it not be possible that he flip-flop for the last time in his political life? In order to gain back his self-respect and dignity as a man of honor, if he were to change his mind now and stay on to fight is not irrelevant to a typical politician should behave and display! After all, the choice of leaderships in the present Umno is subjected to choose amongst the less stink since many of whom have been burdened with all kinds of baggage. Based on the many second opinions and even the majority vox-pop poll, Pak Lah's benign character and the Mr Clean's image is more of less inferior to his deputy Najib's heavy baggage in consists of many dirty linen! Dr Mahatir has concurred that Najib will not be a better Prime Minister implied to mean that there is no better alternative in the present peers of leaderships in Umno, let alone Ku Li who is from the external core of the main body!

Pak Lah should stay, if he truly means serious to commit changes and reforms for the Nation's judiciary systems and his anti-corruption propaganda! He should not only mean business but also he should mean faithful and honest to rebuild his integrity! With all these reshuffled, I believe the Rakyat can still let him the opportunity to prove and deliver his manifesto. Wasn't his manifesto worked during the 2004 election whence he won by landslide? Provided he is truthful, he is honest, he rectifies from his flip-flop policy, his indecisiveness, and provided also, he changes from not listening to the fourth floor boys too much and lend his ears more often to listen to the Rakyat, changes as the rakyat fairly requests, changes for betterment, changes to be more more just and liberal, changes to respect universal democracy and so on and so forth.....! I am sure and will I dare to stake my trusts and future in him, Pak Lah the Prime Minister! It takes a real man to have a very clear conscience to do all these and I see there isn't much irregularity in Pak Lah and that he can do it!

If at all he has already given up, I have no further comment but to sigh - Woe is Pak Lah!

My words of patriotism !

Believe it or not, seems like nature has its augur and it doesn't bode well, ever since the dark Friday on 12th September, the day when Raja Petra, Teresa Kok the MP and the Sin Chew Daily reporter's arrests under ISA, the sky since that day onwards, has been gloomy and torrential rains and storms have been evidenced till todate, so quirk for almost one whole month! Even though the two latter had been released within short while, which had set the record in the history of ISA arrests, the fastest release within days, but, Raja Petra is still under captive. He is now put under solitary detention in the detention camp at Kemunting, Taiping!

Today at 8.25am, he was brought to PJ session court for a hearing of his trial charged with Sedition Act. He wrote an article in his blog - Malaysia Today, whereas it was accused as containing defamatory and seditious elements in his 9 paragraph of writings! The article was wrote with the title - "Lets send the Altantuya murderers to hell"! The charge if it's convicted, may send RPK to jail term of 3 years or RM5,000 fine or both! He is the first blogger in the country, or perhaps, in the world who has been charged with the so-called Sedition Act, another antiquated law in Malaysia! In a Country which advocates democratic rule of law, yet, to have such a law to gag the freedom of speech isn't it irrelevant and antiquated in the spirit of universal democracy?!

When the law abiding civil citizens are in great anxiety and distress in all bewilderment of where the Nation is heading to, how the Government that be is dealing with the administration of the Country's ever gloomy and doomy political and economical crisis, amidst the global economics crisis, it seems our Government is still not well prepared, not well geared to face the worst of its kind atomic blow which is looming towards this region of fragile economies in structure, where most of the Asian counterparts have not been fully recovered from the financial crisis, led by Soros, ten years ago! When the US Congress was forced to approve the US700 billions financial-market rescue plan after the first motion was rejected, we being a developing Country merely owns a less resourceful 120 billions in reserves to prepare to head on the crash with the fire-storms inevitably will scotch through the whole region! That was at best our Finance Minister could release in statement as the tranquilizing pill to console and quell the market sentiments!

The eminent effect of the disastrous blow has been evidenced from the Asian shares markets plunged with the regional lion markets such like China, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore etc. had not been exempted! They are all in the stage of panics and the carnage scenario avails and prevails! Are we going to be unaffected and to remain strong as had had been proclaimed by our great Ministers?! With merely 120 billions reserves negligible amount to service the domestic financial markets and the social developments?! Only an expert economist is in position to suggest the benchmark with the required confidence!

What we all citizens of Malaysia appeal to the Government singularly is to, take care of the well-beings of the whole national citizenry, take care of the national economy, revamp policies and the judiciary systems to a required trend of needy fair and just, portray true spirits of universal democracy, enhance social morality and stability, keep tab on accountability and integrity and do away all misdeeds, rampant corruptions by keeping the mal-administration at bay, and in pursuit of all these, the fundamental Federal Constitutions, the social contracts must have been truthfully represented and retrospected! All that the Government needs are good governance, well adopted strategies, strive with pro-active actions and the success is not too far beyond reach! Of course, keeping all at bay the current political postures and histrionics are in one the prime requisite!

We wish to see our Great Nation to re-emerge as a good paradigm and revert to the respectable status and luster that we had had once enjoyed altogether! Provided the Nation is strong, the Nationals will only prosper!

The Cries from my bleeding heart........

Hi, Brethrens!

There is always a reason why I should paste a photo of gloomy background with a mere few candles in lighting. That was a snap shot I took in one of the candlelight vigil held on 26/9/08 at Dewan Sri Pinang, a function purportedly held by the NGO and Suaram to stage supports for the calls by the decent public to abolish the draconian law ISA, to protest and appeal to the Government to release the iconic Blogger, Raja Petra Kamarudin, also known as Pete and RPK, together with many others who had been unduly arrested and incarcerated in the detention camp at Kemunting! The vox-pop majority has felt that RPK's arrest with ISA was over the bound and uncalled for! The draconian ISA (Internal Security Act) was supposedly to be a harsh act to deploy for the clampdown on arm terrorists, who had, prior to the disband of the outlaw communist party, be confronted as the terrorists who caused the Country's internal security and national stability in the state of dreadful emergency and turbulence! Also, the so-called leftists wings were so active that they caused on the civil society restless anxiety and reeling with no peace of lives which affected the livelihoods of the peace loving citizenry. The implication of ISA then was deemed necessary and unavoidable!...........

Not now after decades of development and advancement, Malaysia has been considered one of the ultra-advanced States in this Asia Pacific region, whereby, Monarchy Constitutional Democratic principles have been well preserved and embraced, all citizens are law abiding and subservient to the Federal Constitutions established as the supreme laws of which the pluralistic society abides, there is no such thing and be here any room for the terrorists to domicile and exist in this modern era anymore! Unless they are invited, the religious extremists and terrorists from the close neighborhood may have their squatting somewhere, yet we believe they were under close surveillance and checked by the Government! The lawful citizenry who are patriotic definitely have learned their lessons from the times of civil wars and will not harbour or support any of these undesired elements to infiltrate and disturb the hard-earned peacefulness and social harmony and stability that we have had enjoyed for decades, for more than by-centennial! No civilian in this Nation will be stupid enough to have had wanted to invite any terrorism to spoil their peaceful homes, that is for sure and beyond any doubts!

How can a very senior Home Minister who had had uttered such a remarks that in the blogger sphere, there is such a new invented category of Blog Terrorists and he self-proclaimed RPK to be a Blog Terrorist, which was the key reason for his arrest under the ISA?! A learned person, a member from the lineage of Royal family, a Raja Petra Kamarudin, a patriotic citizen like any one of us the Malaysian, could be enwrapped the turban of Osama and tagged him the Terrorist?! Whence he was outspoken to dig out the scandals and many misdeeds of the Public Office, to expose the alarming level of corruptions in the House, which if not checked, is devastating to not only the social morality, but also, will ruin the whole Nation and Her economy in no time! Whence he's in high standing crying out boldly and righteously, to urge the Government that be to reform from the antiquated rule of law and policies, to install proper universal rule of law to ensure real democracy and justice prevail in his Nation, the Administrative and Executive Institutions instead of listening to Him, resorted to gag his mouth and tied him with such brutal force, they the Government that be thinks that it can work well to prolong their self-seeking, egocentric lusts without anyone else to stage as opponent to them?! Then they are very wrong, they are seriously wrong for they fail to realise that RPK's spirit has flourished, now there is not only one RPK in this beloved Land, there are thousands of RPK out there now are coming to face the despotic Government, until and unless they the Government has changed, they the Government will be replaced and changed by some other Party which has had heard the soprano of CHANGE by the masses of citizenry who own the undeprivable rights of being the Masters of the governing institutions, the civil servants at large! The Masters will prove to the recalcitrant unchanged Government that be, that, they are under the disposal of the Rakayt! Not that otherwise!

New Leaf of Life......

Yes, I have changed from my Ghost Hunter Blog to a new leaf of life. I have preferred to be frank in my life and not to live the life of a ghost hunter! The ghosts in my Country are too scary and fierce enough to scare me and many of my friends here away. I prefer to live without being further haunted by the ghosts, the political ghosts that never ever they can disappear themselves without the Almighty God's sanction of verdicts, to punish them according to the level of sins they commit!

I welcome those who are sincere, honest and frank people to join me as friends to talk and express your views about lives, your thinkings, your whatsoever opinions that you may have concerning daily political or social issues that you may like to share with me. Tell me about your feelings and any comment you will have! Lets talk candidly and lets talk like good friends ok?........................
