The World That I See - My View

The Perak Pakatan Rakyat ticked off the state Barisan Nasional government for blaming the civil service for the political scandals it had hidden until exposed by the opposition, describing it as cowardly politics. State party vice-chairman Chang Lih Kang ( left ) told a press conference at the PKR Gopeng branch office yesterday that it is wrong of the BN government to smear the state civil service each time Pakatan lays bare BN's misdeeds. "Free all the state civil servants from political pressure and intervention," he said. Chang, who is also Teja assemblyperson, had recently turned the spotlight on a land scam involving 40 lots of state land in Sungai Itek meant for the poor and landless. Instead, they were given to 10 committee members of the Umno Gopeng division. On Dec 16, Chang had lodged a report with the state Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) against menteri besar and state Umno chief Zambry Abdul Kadir and Umno Gopeng division chairman Hamzah Mohd K...

A Chinese national is crying foul over profiling of foreign women by the authorities, following her eight-day detention by the Subang Jaya district police. MBA student Li Jun Jie, 23, from Beijing has blogged extensively about her experience, which has attracted a flood of angry comments from both mainland Chinese and Malaysians. Li's ordeal began during a night out with local friends on Nov 30, when she was picked up by the police in a karaoke outlet in Subang Jaya during an anti-vice operation. While in detention, she was denied a phone call and an attempt to send a text message to her lecturer about her predicament was met with a kick from a female police officer to her knee. In was only during the second day of her detention did Li manage to pass a message to her school - International University College of Technology Twintech (IUCTT). The school responded on the third day by furnishing the documents proving her status as a student to the police. However, she was only release...

'Back in 1995, PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad was quoted as saying 'lama-lama kapalterbang pun hilang juga' when asked about a gold heist at the Subang airport.' Missing jet engine: PM promises no cover-up Raja Rajan: Back in 1995, prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad was quoted as saying 'lama-lama kapalterbang pun hilang juga' when asked about a gold heist at the Subang airport. Well 14 years on, nothing much has improved in terms of national security. It has worsened. Alright, it's only an aircraft engine, not a plane yet. But the government has always said it was thwarting an imminent threat to national security whenever it arrested its political opponents under the ISA, how come it missed these guys at the Sungai Besi RMAF airbase? Aren't they traitors who betrayed the government, nation and the king? Remember an arms heist at a Mindef base a few years ago? Nothing happened to the culprits. Nothing will happen now either. What else would go missing? The count...

The disappearance of a F-5E fighter jet engine owned by the Royal Malaysia Air Force (RMAF) shows that the country's defence system is not strong, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said today. Expressing the need for action be taken against those responsible, he said had such an incident happened in a western country, it would have seen the resignation of its defence minister. Abdul Hadi told this to reporters after opening the PAS bloggers convention at the party headquarters in Taman Melewar near here. Yesterday, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the engine, worth RM50 million and discovered missing in 2007, had been sold to an international company based in South America. Meanwhile, Abdul Hadi said Pakatan Rakyat , which comprised PKR, DAP and PAS, had not been registered as a political party because they did not want to do it in haste. He said what was important was to achieve their political objectives and to cooperate by giving their views, although they did not share the...

It would have been a heart-warming view - a vernacular and a national school co-existing in the same compound. But that is where the feel-good story ends. Sekolah Kebangsaan Tok Pawang and Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil Sg Tok Pawang share the same compound, but it's a different story with the canteen. SJK(T) pupils have been denied access to the canteen. This was decided by SK Tok Pawang teachers after frequent quarrels between the pupils of the two schools. The SJK(T) PIBG then organised a makeshift canteen for the 170 Tamil school students at a corridor behind the building. Students of both schools also do not share classrooms. Twenty-three years ago the students of the Tamil school were accommodated at SK Tok Pawang after they had to abandon their own building due to pollution caused by the nearby Lee Rubber building. The Tamil school received a new lease of life when the Kedah state government allocated 5.5 acres of land to build a new school on April 3 this year. Menteri Be...

ARKIB : 09/12/2009 Oleh Zaini Hassan (yang berada di kota raya Hyderabad, India dari 29 November-4 Disember menghadiri Forum Editor-Editor Sedunia) BERADA di kota raya tua India, Hyderabad selama seminggu minggu lalu amat memberi kesedaran kepada diri ini. Setiap inci persegi tanah di kota-kotanya dihuni oleh ratusan insan. Setiap kilometer persegi dihuni oleh ratusan ribu insan dan setiap bandar raya di negara keramat itu dihuni oleh jutaan manusia. Dan India ialah tanah bagi 1.2 bilion umat manusia. Angkanya bertambah setiap saat. Berada di India bererti kita berada dalam satu realiti kemanusiaan yang sebenar. India ialah tanah bagi manusia ramai. Jurang hidupnya adalah antara langit dan bumi. Yang papa terlalu papa, yang kaya terlalu kaya. Yang kaya, tidak pandang ke bawah, yang bawah tetap di bawah. Kasta, darjat atau keturunan masih diamalkan secara tebal di seluruh India. Ia semacam satu agama. Kasta atas tidak boleh bersatu kasta rendah. Jalan rayanya...

'If, say, an Indian or Chinese counterpart of 'Zaini Hassan' or 'Awang Selamat' had insulted the Malay community in another paper, the 'fair-minded' home minister would have no hesitation in shutting down the paper.' Of noisy Indians and 'keling' blood: Utusan strikes again Tan Kian Khim: This latest Utusan Malaysia article, combined with the reinstatement of Penang Umno chief Ahmad Ismail will do wonders for Umno's credibility among clear-minded Malaysians. If, say, an Indian or Chinese counterpart of 'Zaini Hassan' or 'Awang Selamat' had insulted the Malay community in another paper, the 'fair-minded' Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein (who saw fit to personally defend the Umno-backed Shah Alam cow's head hooligans) would have no hesitation in applying the ISA to shut down the paper and arrest the writer for making 'seditious remarks'. But we all know who pays Zaini Hassan and Awang Selamat's bills. L...

The following is a count of my journey to Mahavatar Babaji’s Cave in Dronagiri area in Himalayas. I took the trek on 29th of July 2009 along with my Father. After several visions and signals from the Masters, I finally made the trek deep into the Mountains at about 9000 feet. To view photos from my Trek to Babaji’s Cave, please click here . Leaving Rohtak for Haldwani After I could not make the trek to Mahavatar Babaji’s Cave in Pandukholi region during my visit to Almora , Himalayas in 2007 – I had accepted the fact that the time had not come yet for me to visit. During my summer 2009 vacation, I was determined to make the trip and after a small hiccup, it materialized into reality. I will try to be as faithful in remembering the little details as possible and provide you with my experiences during this extraordinary journey that I took with my Father. My Father and I left Rohtak on Sunday, 26th July 2009 at about 10 AM for Haldwani where we would stop for the night. The driv...

exclusive Proudly displayed on the signboard in front of the construction site of the Shah Alam Hospital is the tagline 'Projek Kerajaan Barisan Nasional' (A Barisan Nasional government project). Like many other government projects, this one is well on the way to a familiar outcome involving the unproductive use of millions of ringgit of taxpayers' money. Just last week, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had revealed that 60 percent of infrastructure funds in Sarawak, possibly amounting to billions of ringgit, have been siphoned off. From what is known of the RM500 million Shah Alam Hospital project, it is estimated that as much as RM100 million could have already gone to waste. Its construction was mooted 10 years ago as the state's second - and more accessible - general hospital, after the one in Klang. “The new hospital can provide better services to people here besides reducing the burden on the overloaded Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (in Klang),” said form...

Is this true ...this is what one of my friend asked me from outside Malaysia when he saw this video... and forward this link... Now I have to ask Malaysia ...Is this true? If not true we should clarify to the WORLD.

The federal government has been accused of trying to eliminate the growth of vernacular languages in the country with its latest 'magical' 10-subject formula for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). Penang Deputy Chief Minister 2 P Ramasamy said by limiting SPM students to only 10 subjects, the Education Ministry had effectively unveiled a grand plan to purge Tamil and Mandarin as vernacular languages not only in the education system, but also in the country. He said the students should be allowed to take up at least 12 subjects to enable them to sit for their respective vernacular language and literature subjects. He pointed out that the 10-subject grand plan would first discourage students from taking up their mother tongue subjects at secondary and tertiary levels, which ultimately would create a severe shortage of teachers in vernacular schools. He said if this was allowed, all 534 existing Tamil schools would eventually close down. "Without Tamil schools and teachers, ...

Gem : Punish the money changer, and end of story? What about the person who used that money changer? What was that remittance of so much money for? Louis : In the end, there'll be no case. Read my lips: No case. When former Selangor menteri besar Muhammad Muhammad Taib was caught with a bagful of cash in Australia, what action was taken? Remember the currency controls then, when we could not even send 10,000 Australian dollars overseas without permission. Hardtail : Shouldn't someone be probing Bank Negara? How many of these transfers by our politicians have gone through under Bank Negara's radar? Why only take action when alerted by the opposition? The rakyat's money is being sucked out by these people. Wisdom4 : If it is true the Negri Sembilan menteri besar was involved in such transactions, Bank Negara Malaysia and the MACC should spring into action. Haul up the MB for further questioning. The said transaction contravenes the foreign exchange regulations of the coun...

No brainwashing in BTN courses, says Muhyiddin Ministers defend 'racist' BTN courses Gblk7277: I have attended this BTN course. Yes, it is a brainwashing session where they were telling us that the other races must get a lesser amount of 'durian' because we are the 'pendatang' and we had agreed to accept a lesser amount. Therefore we could not question anything, just shut up and eat the 'durian' you get or go back to China or India. It's very much politically biased and they were showing recordings of the Bersih and Hindraf rallies saying chaos will take place if we don't support BN. And that our country will be destroyed. 'Learning about 1Malaysia, about nationalism and unity'? My foot. Camverra Jose Maliamauv: In the year 2000, during my first year at Universiti Teknologi Petronas, I was one of those selected to attend the Kem Bina Negara. We were sent to an army camp in Kedah. Out of all the lectures and physical activities etc, I wil...

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil was asked to clarify if it was government policy to convert young children, especially minors, into Islam while being under the care of government welfare homes. PKR Kedah deputy youth chief Gooi Hsiao Leung said Shahrizat's clarification was imperative following a controversial statement by Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Mashitah Ibrahim, who praised such conversions. "Mashitah's statement is scandalous and reckless. Shahrizat should take an immediate stand on it," said Gooi. He also wants Shahrizat to clarify whether Mashitah's remarks were made in her personal capacity or from her official position in the Putrajaya administration. Gooi, a practicing lawyer, is the legal counsel for S Banggarma, 27, who had claimed she was converted by Islamic authorities at the age of seven. She alleged the conversion took place on Dec 28, 1989 while she was residing in a welfare ho...

The Selangor government today announced that its civil servants, students in state-owned higher learning institutions and employees in state subsidiaries will be barred from attending nation-building programmes carried out by Biro Tatanegara. The programmes were described as tools of indoctrination, peppered with racist ideas. State exco in charge of education and higher education Dr Halimah Ali said the new policy would be implemented with immediate effect after the state government issues formal instructions to the institutions involved. She told reporters in Shah Alam that the decision was made based on feedback from participants. "The participants told us that BTN is used as a tool by the Barisan Nasional government to indoctrinate the youth," she said, adding that the 'racism' espoused would divide the people. Among the institutions involved are Universiti Industri Selangor (Unisel), Kolej Universiti Antarabangsa Selangor (Kuis), Inpens International College, Ins...
