Norizan Salleh, a 30-year-old single mother who was mistakenly shot five times by police officers last year, finally got her wish to take her grouses to Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

Norizan plans to sue the police force for the serious injuries inflicted by the gunshots when she was travelling in a car with friends on Oct 30, 2009.

Gunshot victim Norizan meets home minister
The hands that help are greater than lips that pray
Police injustice - be careful on the road!


The police is paid by the society to protect the society. What on God's green earth is happening?
They are supposed to protect us and yet they are the ones shooting at us???
So are we saying we are not safe in Malaysia anymore? Something very very wrong here.
God help us.

Nizar Menghasut ,Fitnah & Membakar Sentimen Perkauman

Lim Kit Siang should apologise to the nation on what his party had done all these years and start embracing 1Malaysia once and for all
Posted on October 1, 2010 by jebatmustdie
The unDemocratic Action Party’s dictator since 1969, Lim Kit Siang, had become more desperate than I could imagine. The party which had never changed their leader since 41 years ago has a leader who is increasingly being exposed as a racist and a hate-monger.

When Tun Mahathir Mohamed told his audience that some chinese had claimed that BN had toppled the chinese government in Perak, Lim Kit Siang went out with guns blazing claiming that Tun Mahathir is the number one racist in the country.

The fact, is, that was what has been relayed to Tun Mahathir through meetings with people from all walks of life. Tun feels that this is the cause that the chinese does not support the BN – because a chinese government was brought down by the BN. We all know that Tun did not approve of the way the matter was handled back in early 2009.

So what did Tun actually said that had made Lim Kit Siang frothing in the mouth? Tun merely said:

“We see Nizar in Perak…even though he was Mentri Besar, he followed the instructions of DAP until he fell. The Chinese claim this was BN’s move to bring down a Chinese government.

“So they called it a Chinese administration and is it not possible that we can have a prime minister like Nizar, Malay in name and a Muslim but not really independent and a tool of others,” he said.

So there, it is the chinese that said BN toppled a chinese government of Perak.

That was the sentiment Tun gets from the people that he had met. Is this not true? Care to find enough people to say it otherwise?

Therefore, if Tun was merely relaying what the chinese had told him, then the number one racist in this country is certainly not Tun himself. Then who is?

Lim Kit Siang however, countered the exposure that DAP is really a chinese-centric party by telling the crowd:

“What Chinese government? The Perak government by PR was a Malaysian government. This is very sad. Dr Mahathir just wants to tell the Malays that if Umno loses the elections, the Malays will lose power.”

Well then, if Perak government under Pakatan Rakyat was a Malaysian government, then why did the chinese there felt that a ‘chinese’ government had been thrown out? Don’t ask Tun Mahathir, he was just saying what the chinese told him!

To cover up this obvious fact, Lim Kit Siang HAD TO counter this by saying it is Malaysian government.

There is no other way.

Racism is so deep rooted in Pakatan Rakyat that even the former menteri besar is guilty of creating hostility between the Malays and the chinese. Nizar Jamaluddin should be stripped of his title but then again, no action is being done towards him because just like Namewee, only the federal government can be racist.

The opposition are ‘victims’ of racism as always.

Lets look at what Nizar had said in one of his speeches in front of the chinese crowd:




Nizar Menghasut ,Fitnah & Membakar Sentimen Perkauman

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9Jg7Xm1C6I&feature=player_embedded


Listen to what he said.

He actually told the chinese that back in 1987, Najib had urged the Malays to bathe the keris with chinese blood. Nizar then said that Najib wanted the Malays to flood the streets of Kuala Lumpur with chinese blood.

(By the way, I would really like to know what he had actually said from the 2oth second to 26th second in that video. Any of my readers here care to translate? Thank you.)

We all know that is not true and Najib had denied ever saying that. Nobody had shown proof or even heard Najib said that.

Therefore, Nizar Jamaluddin had been seditious and played up racial sentiment to aggravate the chinese into hating Najib and hating Umno directly.

And by saying all those vile words, we the Malays are upset with Nizar and Pakatan Rakyat where time and time again they had tried to anger the chinese that way. We certainly do not want our neighbours to feel insulted because if the chinese cannot meet Najib face to face to show their anger, they will certainly show their resentment towards any Malays they meet. Hence, subconsciously, the feeling of disdain and anger is created between races.

Why did Nizar and DAP want to play with fire with regards to racial politics?

When one disrespect the Malays this way, there will be a reaction.

Nizar created lies so that people will hate the government. The main beneficiary of this anger is the Malays. Nizar lied to the crowd! And he is none other, an ISLAMIC leader of PAS! I am not even sure whether his heart is with PAS. He looks more like a DAP mongrel. Confused on what his principles should be. Well, maybe Tun was right. He is just a tool for the DAP.

As the result of Nizar’s stupidity and power hungry tendencies, the Malays suffered indignity.

This is the same sentiments the Malays are facing prior to the 1969 racial riots.

The Malays, who are innocently caught between greedy and racist politicians of the opposition parties, became the victims of massive humiliation to their racial pride.

Back in 1969, people similar to Nizar Jamaluddin and Lim Kit Siang incitedlies and hate among the non Malays which culminated to the extreme uncivilised rudeness we now know as the ‘victory parade’ of the chinese opposition a day before 13th May 1969.

Up to this day, Lim Kit Siang had never apologised on behalf of his DAP supporters who took part in the victory procession.

In the propaganda book that Dr Kua Kia Soong had wrote, his entire ‘research’ only mentioned victory procession in about two sentences. That is how he covered up DAP’s hand in inciting the racial riots.

I had dissected his book an uncovered his lies when I wrote the ‘True and Fair View of the 1969 Racial Riots’.

Lim Kit Siang had not apologised to the nation for what his party had done. 41 years ago. The couple of pictures below can testify to the violent racial insults committed by DAP back then.

And do all of you know what kind of insults DAP supporters had thrown to the Malays? Apart from showing their private parts to the Malay crowd during the procession, they had, among others, screamed:

“Melayu balik kampung!”

“Melayu sekarang sudah tiada kuasa lagi”


“Melayu keluar – apalagi duduk sini?”

“Kita hentam lu; sekarang kita besar”

“Melayu kita kasi habis”

All the above are the printable ones here. There are many other documented insults which are more hurtful and malicious than the above. Profanities were hurled non-stop to every Malay in sight. Please read the link I provided above.

This was the situation back then.

Very similar to the crassness that is being shown by the DAP leaders and their goons in their political speeches.

Lim Kit Siang is being a racist because this is the only politics that he knows. If a person other than him incite the people the same way like this in Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew would have thrown him into jail indefinitely.

In order to sugarcoat his approach, Lim Kit Siang attacked Tun Mahathir with the only weapon that he knows – call other people as racist.

Rational people will be the judge of all the opposition’s ploy in seizing power. Unfortunately for us Malaysians, political leaders such as Nizar Jamaluddin and Lim Kit Siang could only muster this sinful racist approach in order to show people that they are better leaders.

A mature opposition would actually show the people that they are the better alternate to the government. But what he have here are hateful leaders inciting hate among the races. It is very unfortunate indeed.

What can Lim Kit Siang show us when everything that came out from his mouth is to demand this and that or accuse other people of racism when in actual fact, Lim Kit Siang is the father of all racism.

Bear in mind, before DAP, Labour Party and Malayan Communist Party existed, there was no racial tension in this country.

There is no point on asking people to apologise for apparent racial slurs when he himself is the leader of a bunch of people who instigate racial disharmony most of the time. This is why he is now seemed desperate. Hate-mongers will be paranoid all the time.

Chinese daily lists Anwar's 'seven costly mistakes'

Chinese daily lists Anwar's 'seven costly mistakes'

2010/11/12

KUALA LUMPUR: Amid swirling speculation over the leadership of Pakatan Rakyat, a detailed analysis in a prominent Chinese newspaper on Thursday outlined "seven costly mistakes made by PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim".

The article concluded that Anwar was "not truly qualified" to lead the political grouping.

In an assessment on Anwar's performance over the past two years, the article said Anwar did not produce a counter-strategy to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's reform blueprint.


This ranges from the 1Malaysia concept, the Key Performance Indicators, National Key Result Areas, Government Transformation Plan and Economic Transformation Programme.

"He (Anwar) has not responded at all so far, but just let swing voters be gradually lured by BN," the article said.

Secondly, the article contended that Anwar had allowed Pakatan's morale to sink.

"Although Pakatan won eight of the 13 by-elections, it has been defeated in the recent ones, except in Sibu because of Chinese votes.

"Pakatan has been facing both internal and external problems and its members have lost their high morale of the 2008 general election. Anwar has not come out with new strategies to boost morale."

The article further argued that Anwar had apparently taken the people's support for the opposition in the march 2008 general election for granted and did not fulfil his election commitments.


"Fourthly, Pakatan is still a loose organisation and there is no effort to consolidate and strengthen the coalition.

"Compared with the BN, Pakatan lacks an effective structure and organisation and its discipline is in a mess.

"Pakatan is also facing contradictions and conflicts in terms of political ideology and has failed to introduce new policies."

"Fifthly, there is no political resource integration. Anwar should apply his administrative experience as the deputy prime minister in integrating the resources of the four Pakatan state governments and introducing a plan to stimulate economy in the four states.

"Sixth, Anwar seems helpless to quell the PKR infighting. Internal problems of PKR had been started since the 2008 general election, including choosing inappropriate election candidates and resolving problems by creating by-election through resignations.

"The people will not be cheated again and again.

"The withdrawal of Perak state assembly members from the party has caused the collapse of the Pakatan government in Perak.

"A few MPs and state assembly members have also quit the party after that. Anwar claimed it as a plot by Umno, but he has never seriously put any effort in resolving the factional, personnel and power struggle problems in the party.

"Finally, Anwar lacks the ability to lead and judge: A leader should be responsible, fair and unbiased. Anwar's stand in the party election is ambiguous.

"For the direct election mechanism, even outsiders have expected problems, but why did experienced leaders like Anwar fail to anticipate them?"

50,000 displaced in Malaysia floods

50,000 displaced in Malaysia floods
Bangkok Post | November 05, 2010

Four people have been killed and almost 50,000 have been forced out of their homes and into relief camps as floods hit northern Malaysia, state media said Friday.

Rising waters have hit three Malaysian states on the border with Thailand, which has also been seriously affected.

An airport and a major highway have been closed, and train services and water supplies have also been disrupted by Malaysia's worst floods in five years.

The first fatalities were a 13-year-old boy and a 64-year-old German woman whose bodies were recovered in Kedah state earlier this week.

The bodies of two girls who fell into an irrigation canal in Kedah were recovered Thursday, state news agency Bernama said, and another two children who disappeared while playing in a flooded padi field were feared drowned.

Bernama said that nearly 50,000 people have now been taken to relief centres to escape the floods in Perlis, Kedah and Kelantan states.

Prime Minister Najib Razak urged flood victims and residents in the affected areas to be cautious.

"Don't treat this lightly, don't treat this as a carnival because the disaster can lead to fatalities," he said according to Bernama.

Of ruffians and rookies — Tay Tian Yan

Of ruffians and rookies — Tay Tian Yan
November 02, 2010NOV 2 — Do we still need the by-election with these ruffians and rookies around?

The hottest topic at Galas coffeeshops nowadays has been how the local MCA leaders have managed to “knock down” a little brother from outside the state to keep Deputy Minister Heng Saei Kie in office.

And then how the supporters of Teoh Beng Hock were locked up and interrogated for six hours before they were released.

In a community where even the hen that lays the most eggs and the guy that a local girl dates can become wonderful topics of casual gossips, such “major” news events are most definitely not spared from public attention.

Of course, majority of people would not commend the local MCA leaders for saving Heng, but more would respond to the reverberations of the TBH incident as well as the indictments of his enraged sister.

In an election that starves from tedium and a dearth of issues, voters’ emotions are least perturbed, watching only politicians and campaigners from elsewhere making a big fuss out of nothing, as if they are following a dry drama.

But all of a sudden conflicts begin to surface between the lead roles and the plot is starting to get tensed up.

The audience begins to throw in their full participation, picking the good and bad, or the strong and weak guys from the drama, as well as those who ought to be sympathised with or ought to be condemned.

There appears now a focus in the movie-watching, and the audience begins to assimilate themselves into the plot.

So, when the aunts are visiting the market for their daily groceries, or when the uncles assemble at local coffee joints, they can now talk about the drama. Their eyes will be wet with tears mentioning the good guy in the drama, and their fists clenched when talking about the bad guy.

Do you think the election outcome will be distorted if such displays of emotions are allowed to go on?

So, a sudden move by an irrelevant ruffian can bring on a climax in an election, and could perhaps give the drama an unexpected ending.

As such, ruffians and rookies must be avoided at all costs from any political game.

In a similar manner, Titiwangsa Umno division acting chief Johari Abdul Ghani said at a party event several months ago that if the party could secure the full support of the Malays, it would no longer need the ballots of Chinese and Indian voters.

Sure enough, in a constituency that comprises 70 per cent Malays, if every Malay votes for Johari, he would no longer require non-Malay votes.

But obviously not all Malays voted for Umno’s candidate in 2008, resulting in the fall of Titiwangsa into the hands of PAS.

A well-educated professional and leader of a listed company, Johari is no ruffian, but that does not mean he is not a pure-bred racist.

Moreover, in the country’s ever-changing political ecosystem, he is nothing more than just a political rookie.

And this explains why his unpolished remark received only minimal response from the public.

And I don’t even think he stands any chance of getting fielded in the next general election. — mysinchew.com

Flash floods hit Thailand, Malaysia rubber areas


Flash floods hit Thailand, Malaysia rubber areas
November 02, 2010

BANGKOK, Nov 2 — Heavy rains drenched the main rubber-growing region in Thailand today, flooding commercial hub Hat Yai, while 12,000 people were evacuated from bordering regions in Malaysia.

The downpours in the south of Thailand follow the worst flooding in decades in the northeast and centre of the world’s biggest rubber exporter, covering a third of the country since early October.

The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation says the national death toll from flooding is 104.

There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries in the south, but water was reported to be as high as two metres in some areas and 80 per cent of Hat Yai, the centre of Thailand’s rubber trade, was flooded.

“The city is under water with no water and electricity. We estimate over 100,000 people are stuck in their homes,” said Hat Yai’s mayor, Prai Patano.

“In several hospitals, patients have been moved to higher floors, but the shortage of electricity, water and food is the main problem.”

With telephone lines and electricity cut, rubber trading ground to a halt at the Hat Yai market.

Traders said the disruption to a major supply centre could push up the price of Thailand’s benchmark rubber sheet towards the record high of US$4.10 per kg it hit in April. It was offered at US$4.05 per kg today.

“The Hat Yai rubber centre is still open, but no one can bring rubber sheet to be traded there,” said Jirakorn Kosaisawee, a senior Agriculture Ministry official.

Thailand’s south produces around 90 per cent of the country’s annual output of about three million tonnes.

In neighbouring Malaysia, more than 12,000 people have been evacuated from northern states Perlis and Kedah, and other areas were on alert, state news agency Bernama said today.

Traders in Malaysia said deliveries of rubber from Thailand have slowed down, creating some supply tightness for buyers in the rubber glove industry, which is dominated by Top Glove and Supermax.

“The floods have not hit the growing areas in Malaysia but the heavy rains are disrupting tapping activities,” said a trader in Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia is the world’s No. 3 rubber producer, behind Thailand and Indonesia.

Output from Thailand routinely falls at this time of year, the rainy season in the south, but the flash floods were likely to make things worse. An industry official said farmers in more than half of the region’s rubber areas had stopped tapping completely, which would cut output over the next few weeks.

“This could lead to a 20 to 30 per cent fall in monthly rubber production in the region,” said Prapas Ueranontat, secretary of the Thai Rubber Association.

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Sunday the country’s worst flooding in decades could cut 2010 economic growth by 0.3 percentage points, meaning growth for the year may not meet the 8 per cent forecast by the central bank.

The government said yesterday it would give 5,000 baht (RM500) in cash to each of 600,000 families affected by the floods, more than 3.7 million people in total of a population of 67 million. — Reuters

Floods: Concerted effort sadly lacking

Floods: Concerted effort sadly lacking

THE earth has seven oceans that cover almost three-fourths of its surface. Wind and other events cause the oceans' water to sometimes overflow. When this happens, flooding on the shores occurs. When the ocean's storms force water on a coast to raise the sea level in that area, which are known as storm surges, this causes flooding along the coast.
In cold regions, flooding takes place when the snow begins to thaw. And when the snow melts and flows down the mountain sides and into the river, it may not be able to contain such a huge volume of water, and thereby, overflows causing floods.

But we do not have this type of problem here in Malaysia.


Since the 1960s, Malaysia has been facing the perennial problem of floods, and so far this year, the floods have hit the northern states of Perlis and Kedah, and are also threatening Kelantan.


The current floods, caused by heavy rainfall overnight, have forced more than 1,000 people to leave their homes in Perlis and Kedah. In Kelantan, people in several low-lying areas have been advised to be prepared to evacuate if the situation worsens.

We have lofty ambitions of being a developed and high-income economy, which is well and good. We are focusing on attracting high-technology investments and developing the services sector to be globally competitive, yet we are unable to find solutions to these recurring woe.


Where are our planners, engineers, administrators and environmentalists in putting forward solutions to combat this yearly anguish? If it is a natural disaster beyond the control of mankind, then it is comprehensible. But it is not a despair we cannot find a solution to.

I am not an environmentalist, but could the problem of flooding be due to the indiscriminate felling of our trees and other forms of greenery, thereby, denying us water-absorbing mechanisms? If this is the case, then immediate measures must be taken to protect our environment.

How is our drainage and irrigation system? We spend millions every year on infrastructure projects, but why is it that emphasis is hardly given to mitigate this perennial problem?


Where is the concerted effort of politicians and non-governmental organisations in tackling the problem of floods?
