The World That I See - My View

Ida Baka r: Dear Hindus of Malaysia, In the absence of an outright apology from Malay-Muslim leadership, please allow me to apologise for this unforgivable action. What these people have done have nothing to do with Islam or the Malays. They have brought shame onto my religion in this holy month of Ramadan. Dear syariah judges, these miscreants have acted against Islam - by insulting the Hindu religion and by not respecting the the dead cow (one of Allah's many beautiful creations). Surely this is a crime worse than three glasses of beer . Muslim true and true: Dear all, please don't associate the remaining 99-9% Muslims in this country who are responsible and tolerant towards other religious beliefs with this incident. These hooligans don't represent all of us. Kss : Our police, who are extremely efficient in breaking up small gatherings of people holding candles, seem to have closed both their eyes to this highly provocative incident.

The police have apologised for not taking prompt action during the 'cow head' protest that took place in Shah Alam yesterday, said Selangor exco member Dr Xavier Jeyakumar. He said Shah Alam district police chief Noor Azam Jamaluddin conveyed his apology to several Pakatan Rakyat leaders during a meeting this morning. The police chief explained that the officer at the scene was a 'junior' (suggesting that he was inexperienced in handling such matters). "So Noor Azam has given us his word that action will be taken immediately against those responsible (for the protest)," said Jeyakumar, who overseas non-Muslim affairs in the state. He also revealed that numerous police reports have been filed over the incident. "Many of the (reports) are by NGOs, councillors, PAS Youth, PKR Youth and some individuals," he said. The half-hour meeting was held at the Shah Alam police district headquarters and was attended by DAP MP Charles Santiago and state exco Ronnie

***************** Before dispersing, several protesters spat and stomped on the cow's head. The cow is considered sacred among Hindus. Addressing the crowd, Section 23 action committee deputy chair Ibrahim Sabri said: "If there is blood, you (the state government) will be responsible if you are adamant about building the temple." "This is a warning. Relocate the temple to Section 22. This cow is a present to the state government. This is a gift from us," he added. The protesters also carried several banners which among others read 'Take Beer' (mocking PAS' rallying cry of 'Takbir') and 'Illegal temples are very small, but once relocated, they are as big as Putrajaya'. The crowd gathered for about 15 minutes at the main entrance of the state secretariat building under the watch of more than a dozen police personnel. seals: "under the watch of more than a dozen police personnel." ?? So police gave protection???? **********

University Malaya vice chancellor Ghauth Jasmon confirmed the Indian Studies Department (ISD) will be now known as the Indian and South Asian Studies Department. The announcement was in stark contrast to assurances by Ghauth just days ago that the department will be preserved in its original form and its name maintained . "We will maintain the programmes but the name change is to give the department wider scope," said Ghauth ( right ). The ISD was established in 1956 under the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in University Malaya. A controversy arose when department head S Kumaran, who retired, was replaced with Mohd Raduan Ariff, the first man not of Indian origin to head the department. Subsequently there was another uproar in the community when word leaked out that ISD is to be replaced with a South Asian Studies Department. Programmes to go on Current Arts and Social Sciences Faculty dean, Redzuan Othman, said there would be no change in the programmes as there are man

AS has won the Permatang Pasir state seat by-election in Penang today with a majority of 4,451 votes. The majority however had decreased by nearly 900 votes since the last general election which saw the party winning by 5,433 votes. The Election Commission announced that PAS candidate 52-year-old candidate Mohd Salleh polled 9,618 votes while BN's Mohd Rohaizat Othman, 38, garnered 5,067. More news at: http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/111385 seals: This is the wind of change.

Barisan Nasional deputy chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin claimed that a wind of change is blowing across the Permatang Pasir constituency on polling day favouring the federal ruling coalition. Based on grassroots feedback accumulated during his tour across the constituency today, he could sense that there was an inclination in the people's mood leaning towards BN. "Perhaps there is a wind of change blowing in the constituency . . . the people's mood is not the same as in during the Permatang Pauh by-elections and general elections (both last year). "Our ground election leaders and workers have informed me that many voters were responsive towards us. "They seem to want to help us to win this contest," the deputy premier told a press conference at Seberang Jaya at noon. When asked to rate BN candidate Rohaizat Othman's chances of winning, he said he was optimistic but declined to comment whether the coalition could wrest the seat from PAS. "It's diffi

PUTRAJAYA: The government has to pay RM100,000 in damages to a former guest relations officer as it was vicariously liable for the act of a Rela member who took a picture of her relieving herself in a lorry. In allowing the appeal by Maslinda Ishak, the Court of Appeal yesterday said the respondents -- the director-general of Rela, the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department's (Jawi) enforcement officers and the government -- were jointly and severally liable. On Sept 11 last year, the High Court ordered Mohamad Tahir Osman to pay Maslinda RM100,000 for his conduct in taking the picture six years ago. Judge Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said what Tahir did was outside the scope of his duty and he did it purely on his own accord. Therefore, he was wholly responsible for his action on Maslinda, 32, now a dental nurse, which had injured her emotionally. The incident happened after Maslinda and several colleagues were arrested by Jawi enforcement officers and Rela members durin

Baru-baru ini, banyak betul yang kita dengar berhubung isu tapak kuil yang dicadangkan di Seksyen 23, Shah Alam. Yang tahu, yang tak tahu dan yang buat-buat tahu, semuanya turut sama mengemukakan pandangan masing-masing. Di antaranya, pandangan Noh Omar yang menyatakan bagaimana kerajaan PR tidak peka terhadap sensitiviti umat Islam. Oleh itu, bagi mereka yang ingin tahu, izinkan saya menceritakan serba sedikit perkara sebenar berkenaan isu ini. Tapak Kuil yang dicadangkan adalah di kawasan Industri, lebih 200 meter dari kawasan perumahan. Sebuah Kuil yang sekarang ini berada di Seksyen 19 akan dipindahkan ke tapak baru yang dicadangkan ini. Di Seksyen 19, kuil berkenaan hanya berjarak 20 kaki dari kawasan perumahan! Buka pintu rumah, seberang jalan terdapat kuil. Sebenarnya, kuil Seksyen 19 telah berada di situ sejak zaman sebelum wujudnya Shah Alam lagi. Pada masa itu kawasan di mana kuil tersebut dibina dinamakan Ladang Sungai Renggam. Apabila PKNS ambil-alih, maka dijadikan kawasa

Padang Serai rep is uncouth, says Hishammuddin KUALA TERENGGANU: The behaviour of Padang Serai MP N. Gobala-krishnan, who got into a scuffle with a policeman during the Permatang Pasir by-election nomination on Monday was unacceptable and uncouth, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein. “I am very angry and ashamed with the behaviour of someone who is a parliamentarian. “His despicable conduct has tainted the image of the Parlia-ment. “I will ask the Attorney-General to speed up the prosecution case against Gobalakrishnan,” Hishammuddin told reporters after chairing the state Umno liaison

A day into the Permatang Pasir by-election campaign, Pakatan Rakyat leaders have wasted no time in launching an attack on the credentials of Barisan Nasional candidate Rohaizat Othman. This follows the Bar Council's clarification that Rohaizat was struck off the rolls in March last year due to professional misconduct. The complaint involved misappropriation of some RM161,000 in a property transaction that was aborted. At a press conference in Permatang Pasir today, PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar seized the initiative to call on Rohaizat to withdraw gracefully from the by-election. “This is not a personal attack. Truth is Rohaizat has lost his moral credibility to contest the by-election. He should withdraw gracefully to avoid further exposure on this matter,” said Mahfuz, who is heading the PAS by-election campaign. He said the Bar's disclosure raises the question if Rohaizat can be entrusted to manage large sums of money on behalf of the state seat in Penang, should he win th

I refer to the Malaysiakini report ' Liu's aide injured in scuffle with MACC officers '. MACC never learns. Yes, never will. I am aghast at the rate of the investigation conducted on the fledgling Pakatan Rakyat state government. If we were to add all the investigations on the said government thus far, I will not be surprised if it added up to be more than all investigations involving BN states in the last 10 years. Not only the number of investigations on Pakatan representatives alarming, the MACC officers seemed to be extra enthusiastic and super efficient when it comes to Pakatan excos or members. Their action is commendable. But it would be even more if they can do likewise to BN. Sadly it has been otherwise. Glaring examples like politicians owning palatial homes did not raise the eyebrows of the MACC Neither did the billions lost in PKFZ. It did not sense any abuse of power in Lingam's tape scandal. Can the MACC chief explain all these fiascos? My gut feeling is t

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for IT term? This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See example below:- Hardware = barangkeras Software = baranglembut Joystick = batang gembira Plug and Play = cucuk dan main Port = lubang Server = pelayan Client = pelanggan Try to translate this: ENGLISH: That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client. Now in BAHASA: Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu akan dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan..

European English: The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as " Euro-English " . In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
