Malaysia’s Hollow Democracy (Part Two) - The "Fear" Days Begin

The most shameful episode in nation’s history happened yesterday. Democracy of people elected representatives completely undermined in the state assembly yesterday, they were physically attacked and the honourable speaker of perak state assembly forcibly removed by authorities. Outside the state assembly, the police arrest of 69 people, including five Members of Parliament and five State Assembly representatives from the Pakatan Rakyat in the police lockdown of Ipoh, was a gross abuse of police powers and the height of irresponsibility.

The monarchy decision has created a constitutional crisis in Malaysia. Now Perak state struggling with two MBs, two speakers, two state secretaries, and two sets of EXCOs. Who responsible for this ongoing crisis? I think you people know the answer. It is obvious that the state assembly cannot function without a fair and just solution to the deadlock. We are extremely clear that the way forward for Perak is to return the right to choose back to the people. The three assemblymen (two charged with corruption, one claimed ill treatments from his party) who helped to prop up the BN government would probably lose their seats if elections are held.

SPEAKER V SIVAKUMAR DRAGGED AND THREATENED LIKE A DOG (FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM HIS SEAT)

The Sultan of Perak was instrumental in the removal of a democratically elected chief minister previously. While Perak Speaker Sivakumar was forcibly dragged out by the police and staff of the recalcitrant state assembly secretary's staff. The state secretary Abdul Rahman Hasim had instructed the sergeant-at-arms and the assembly secretary to ignore his (Sivakumar's) directives in the assembly yesterday.

CAUGHT IN ACTION (HEE ATTACKING A PR ASSEMBLYMAN WITH PEPPER SPRAY)

The former clerk who defected to be a BN friendly rep used a pepper spray to attack a PR assemblyman yesterday. Hee was made a deputy speaker by her party when there are many more qualified candidates compared to her. Only now people of Perak know the real attitude of Hee. Who is gangster? BN or PR in the Perak State Assembly. The legality of the Assembly is tainted with these actions by BN. Deputy Speaker Hee Yit Fong has no power to take over the role Speaker before V. Sivakumar is removed as a speaker. Police removed V. Sivakumar by force (thus undermining) the power of legislative institute. This is an illegal coup against the power of rakyat. The coup by BN is a black history in Perak and Malaysia.

Since February, we’ve been watching painfully while all these lessons unfolded in Perak and the courts, especially the Federal Court in Kuala Lumpur. Are these the lessons we want our children (future leaders) to learn? Is the improper wrestle in the Perak state assembly the kind of democracy we’ll hand over to future generation?

PERAK IN CRISIS: DEATH OF DEMOCRACY IN MALAYSIA

Our institutions, that is the courts, the police and others are being tested and we can judge for ourselves whether they are acting independently or not. Legitimacy of the political defections, Sultan's power to dismiss the Menteri Besar (Chief Minister), pre-signed undated resignation letters, power of the Speaker of the House and power of the Election Commission are major issues of Perak constitutional crisis.

One World One God

I have few videos from YouTube here. These videos for all human in the world despite their religious believe. I believe that there will be no conflicts in this world if human starts learn to respect the religion of each other. Even in our nation a lot of problem because the differences of religious believe. Hindu, Islam, Christian, Buddhist, Jewish or others, we all are belongs to one god! Generally, no one is better than anyone, each religion is the best for its follower, and definitely should respect the religion of others.

Watch the videos and I realy hope some feedback from you.

The Only One

Respect the Religious Beliefs of Others

Happy Labour Day

About Labour day:

Labour Day is an annual holiday celebrated all over the world that resulted from the labour union movement, to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. The majority of countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1, and it is popularly known as May Day and International Workers' Day. The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the Eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.

Most countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1, known as May Day and International Workers' Day. In Europe the day has older significance as a rural festival which is predominantly more important than that of the Labour Day movement. The holiday has become internationalised and several countries hold multi-day celebrations including parades, shows and other patriotic and labour-oriented events. However, in Northern Europe, Walpurgis Night is celebrated on the preceding night and this holiday merges with the Labour Day in some countries.

May 1 is a national holiday in Albania, Argentina, Aruba, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, China, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia (locally known as Hari Buruh), Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Latvia, Lithuania, Lebanon, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar (Burma), Nigeria, North Korea, Norway, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, the Philippines (spelled as "Labor Day"), Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Serbia, Sweden, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, Uganda, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

In Slovenia, Serbia and Ukraine, May 2 is also a national holiday. In Poland, while May 1 is a national holiday, it was renamed from Labour Day to simply "State Holiday" in 1990.

Bumiputra Term in Malaysia is Similar to Apartheid in South Africa

Apartheid was an official policy of racial segregation formerly practiced in the Republic of South Africa, involving political, legal, and economic discrimination against non-whites. Bumiputera or Bumiputra is a Malay term widely used in Malaysia, embracing ethnic Malays, Javanese, Bugis, Minang and other indigenous ethnic groups such as the Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia and the tribal peoples in Sabah and Sarawak automatically denying the rights of other minorities including Malaysian Indians and Chinese

On the 1st of March 2009, Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat commented that the term “bumiputera” is racist and prevented other races from receiving government aid. Nik Aziz’s remarks was made in response over extreme criticisms and threats from UMNO against statement made by Democratic Action Party’s Dr Boo Cheng Hau, the opposition leader in Johor where Dr Boo was reported to have compared “bumiputeraism” with apartheid.

Whats wrong if we compare “bumiputeraism with apartheid? If bumiputera are entitled to special privileges, of course for sure the word bumiputera is racist, of course bumiputera means apartheid. Lets me clarify you that the term 'bumiputera' by itself is actually not racist but to say that only Malays Muslim are bumiputera then it is racist. Bumiputera means 'son of the soil' - aren't we all, the different races, who were born in Malaysia, the son of the soil? So all of us, regardless of race, who were born here are bumiputera! Only foreign immigrants we can call them as Non- bumiputras.

I've just done little research on the word "Bumiputra". The word "Bumiputra" is made up of two Sanskrit words - "bumi" meaning "earth" and "putra" meaning "son". The word is used in the Hindu holy books Mahabarata and Veda. Each time the Muslim UMNO Malay calls himself a "bumiputra", he is actually reciting a Hindu word (note: Sanskrit is the language of Hinduism and is not a language used in communication by people). It is weird that a Hindu word is being used to define a Muslim group for the un-Islamic practice of discrimination on the basis of race.

Peace always be with you Tok Guru. Thank you for enlightening us with your wisdom, and I do hope that those sick people of UMNO will take your words like true gentlemen. Tok Guru, you are my greatest Hero in the whole of Malaysia. You are one great leader that I really would love to meet one day. You are the most humble man here in Malaysia. We are all Malaysians, so all should be the same, so scrap out the all the craps about bumiputras. May god bless Tok Guru with good health!

There is hope for all Malaysians; racism has ruled/ruined Malaysian for far too long. Let's forget our race, a poor Rakyat can be a Malay, Chinese, Indian or any other races. Race does not matter, if you are poor you are poor. Let's give equal opportunities to all Malaysians.

Third Class Malaysia?

THE WIDENING GAP

It’s hard to accept the fact that our nation left far behind compare to other developed and developing nations in Asia. In fact, Japan is in first class, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan in second class, poor Malaysia only able to compete with third class nations thus its nothing wrong to call Malaysia as third class nation. Even China and India are chasing Malaysia from behind and currently they are the economic power house in the making in this region.

Statistics shows that Singaporeans, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese richer than us. Why we have failed although our annual fuel/petroleum export income more than RM70 Billion? We have lost the battle to those nations that lack of natural sources. We are now in dangerous zone while facing world economic crisis impacts.

The Making of Bangsa Malaysia

Former Pakatan Rakyat Perak state EXCO, Nga Kor Ming repeated the reciting of verses from the Quran in an apparent defiance against Malay Unity Action Front president Osman Abu Bakar, who had lodged a police report against the Taiping MP and Pantai Remis assemblyperson for doing the same in the run up to the Bukit Gantang by-election recently.

This time Nga recited the verses in the presence of PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat and close to 1,000 party supporters at the Markas PAS in Taman Melewar, Gombak. Even though he is a non-Muslim, he showing is openness in learning Al-Quran. This shows PAS has succeeded in uniting all Malaysia through the Principe of Islam.

I think it’s nothing wrong for a non-Muslim learn and recite Al-Quran verses in their daily life. Its show that the non-Muslims are really understands the Islam, which is the nation’s official religion. I hope my non-Muslim friends do not misunderstand me, learning Al-Quran does not illustrate that we have converted to another religion, but shows our strong relationship as Malaysians by accepting each other in this lovely multi-religion nation.

YB Nga shows a good example as a Malaysian (Bangsa Malaysia):
