And what is said at Malaysia Today

http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/index.php?itemid=9598 Jeff Ooi IS THERE A STAND-OFF BETWEEN EXECUTIVE AND MALAY RULERS? The 14th Malaysian Law Conference was held in Kuala Lumpur today, after months of planning and protocol arrangement. However, people attending the conference could sense that there was a shroud of of uneasiness between the Prime Minister and the the Malay rulers. As it is, the opening ceremony this morning was a function attended by the Sultan but the Prime Minister was said to have made an 11th hour decision to absent himself . According to Star's Shaila Koshy , the Bar Council's biennial Malaysian Law Conference was supposed to have struck two firsts: a ruler who is a former head of the judiciary himself, and the head of government will attend the conference together. Protocol arrangement has earlier confirmed that Sultan of Perak and former Lord President, Sultan Azlan Shah, will open the conference and give a short speech, while Prime Minister Abdullah

'We need to be equally over-zealous to fight for the independence of the Bar'

An extract from Malaysian Bar president Ambiga Sreenevasan speech at the 14th malaysian law conference 2007 http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=19811 KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 30, 2007): To understand the role of the Malaysian Bar, its president Ambiga Sreenevasan last night quoted C.J. Bhagwati: .... .... .... This resurgence is important as we see the rule of law coming under attack in nations around the world. In the words of Matin Luther King, ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’ Interestingly, two out of the five principles of our Rukunegara refer to the Law. They are, • Keluhuran Perlembagaan (i.e. supremacy of the Constitution) and • Kedaulatan Undang-Undang (i.e. the Rule of Law) That we are a society that is grounded in the rule of law can therefore not be denied. A. The Rule of Law So what is this concept of the Rule of Law? Simply put, it means that no-one is above the law including the government. This is unlike in the case of Rule by law where the law is an

Jesus and Satan

This is one of the best jokes I've seen in a while! Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.Finally fed up, God said, "THAT'S IT! I have had enough. I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job."So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.They moused.They faxed.They e-mailed.They e-mailed with attachments.They downloaded.They did spreadsheets! .They wrote reports.They created labels and cards.They created charts and graphs.They did some genealogy reports They did every job known to man.Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power went off.Satan stared at his blank screen and scr

Stop by at Chopta, on the way to Badrinath

Image
A beautiful and happy lady.......with all smiles ... the picture is my wall paper. Chopta is on the 2nd route to Badrinath from Kedarnath (via Gopeshwar), seldom used and not a very safe route. But it is beautiful view. Chopta is located at 2900m (9,514feet) altitude. the place is also called mini Switzerland (2nd Switzerland is Darjelling in Assam). During winter this will be a skiing resort. During the travel the higest point we reached in the hills was 5880m (19,300feet) altitude.

Powder

If you see my profile, I said my fave movie is POWDER. I am sure many would have laughed if there is such a movie called POWDER. And would have assumed it could be a funny movie or some laughing thing. But if you really see it and follow word by word and merge with the role of "POWDER" and what he feels and experience, at the end I bet you will cry! You can see the last part on this clip. I am not sure if you can anywhere get the movie in VIDEO/CD rental or if you can buy it. But I was lucky to get one at Bangsar MPH and I have safe keep it. Today I saw the clip that was presented at my friends blog ...... made me happy I can share it with you. And I also notice there are many in this world like the movie (click the title " powder " in my profile or click here on the word powder)

PM told about Malacca CM’s remarks

PM told about Malacca CM’s remarks by R. Surenthira Kumar ( http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=19703 ) KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 21, 2007): The People’s Progressive Party ( PPP ) yesterday raised the issue of the scathing remarks made by Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Mohd Ali Rustam against the party with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi . President Datuk M. Kayveas , who apologised to Abdullah for raising the issue at it the party’s 54 th Annual General Meeting ( AGM ), said he would not be forgiven by PPP members if he did not do so.“We did not react to the Malacca Chief Minister’s remarks, abuse and insults, not because we could not or I could not, but in the spirit of Barisan Nasional ( BN ), we maintained a very high level of tolerance and discipline to allow our guest, the CM, to complete his speech,” said Kayveas . At the Malacca PPP AGM last Monday, Mohd Ali, who is also Umno vice-president delivered a scathing speech which chided the PPP for “thre

Even God Himself can’t sink Umno like He could not sink the Titanic

Extract from http://malaysia-today.net/blog2006/corridors.php?itemid=9193 Ali Rustam, the self-proclaimed ‘Senior Vice President’ of Umno -- actually there is no such post but he likes to address himself as such -- stood on stage in front of the entire hall filled with PPP leaders and members and with fingers pointed said that PPP can leave Barisan Nasional. Leave today, or even tomorrow, said Ali Rustam, just don’t wait for the next election before leaving. The PPP President and Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk M. Kayveas, fidgeted in his seat, as did the entire hall. Ali Rustam was going berserk. He was reminiscent of Adolf Hitler jumping up and down, ranting and raving like a dog foaming at the mouth that had gone mad with rabies. Nobody reacted. Nobody could react. They were all too shocked to react and just sat there for the next one and a half hours as Ali Rustam told PPP and the entire non-Malay population of Malaysia that they are insignificant and Umno

On the way to Kedarnath

What it takes to be a sathu....? I notice many of the sathus (not commenting on this photo) are just a normal person that wears a yellow/orange/maroon coloured robe. But where are the real sathus? Meeting all the japas/tapas/sadhana requirements and in the state of a sadhu in their own way? I can see many still lives in the material world and being attached to it, or maybe they are actually normal persons wearing it to generate income? A sathu celebrating his/her birthday? But i was told that when a person is accepted to that state...it is a spiritual rebirth and is considered to have died. Confused.... The real sathus mainly lives on the mountains and deep in the jungle but some lives among us too. What it feels to be a sathu / what it feels to live like/as them ..........? Some use the service of these nepali man to carry them for Rps3000.00 some walks...... Some take horses to the top .....for a fee of Rps800.00 two ways and some gets a piggy back on their father for free.... l

Ascending to Kedarnath from Gaurikund

Image
One of the first view as we were going up... I could not take all the water falls as i had limited space in my memory card. I had to work within the 4GB CF card space that I had. I had to leave my computer in Rishikesh considering the roughness of the journey As we were ascending from Gaurikund (1982m) to Kedarnath (3583m) on horses (one of us went by foot) on a 14Km path. We were welcomed by the beauty of the hills and water falls and rivers and sunrise, birds eagles and the nature itself. When I went there 2 years back by the time i reach the top the cloud has covered the hills. But this time it was as clear as the open sky and the great WHITE HIMALAYAS was so beautiful beyond words. that's why i said the pictures did not speak the truth...the truth of the beauty of himalayas.... you have to feel and see and experience it to really know it...... This is the question for me to ...why am I going the the same place again and again?
