這個時候 ........
駕駛員喃喃自語地說：'何不把自己都丟下去，讓兩千一百萬人都高興呢？'
2、Sami Vellu 希望提高自己的聲望，想要發行一款有自己肖像的郵票.....
發行過了一個多月之後，Sami Vellu 想要問看看視察看看銷路如何.....
Sami Vellu ： '銷售情形怎麼樣？'
郵政總局局長：'還算不錯，只不過常常有人抱怨黏不牢！Sami Vellu ： '怎麼會呢？' Sami Vellu 隨手拿了一張郵票，塗了一點口水在郵票背面，便試貼在信封上 ....
Sami Vellu ：' 這樣不是黏得很緊嗎？'
郵政總局局長： '可是......大家....都把口水吐在正面啊 ......'

醫生精神一振說： 'Malaysia 有救了！'
5、有一天Sami Vellu 往某家精神病院視察，所有的病人都站在走廊上高聲歡呼，
Sami Vellu 萬歲！Sami Vellu 萬歲！
只有一名病人面無表情，對Sami Vellu 不理不睬。
Sami Vellu 看到了，問院長說：'那位病人為什麼不對我歡呼呢？'
院長：'因為他今天精神非常正常。'
6、一輛競選車載著Sami Vellu 競選團隊開到鄉村去造勢，不幸在山間小路上翻車。
正在農田作活的老農民看見這情景，就趕到出事地點，可是車上的人都死光了。
于是他挖了一個土坑，把幾個政客都埋了。
過了幾天，負責事故勘察的警察找到那個老農民，問他那幾個政客到哪里去了，老農民說己經埋了。
警察趕緊追問：'他們都死了嗎？ '
老農回答說：'嗯…，我看到Sami Vellu 在我埋他的時候大叫說他還沒死。'
警察說：'那你怎麼也把他埋了？'
老農說：'你知道的嘛? 這個Sami Vellu 從不說實話。

Bodoh Sombong
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s father is one example of an English language teacher from India who came to Malaya and eventually married a Malay woman, resulting in the birth of Dr Mahathir.
Many Indian and Chinese immigrants married in Malaya, sometimes to fellow Indians and Chinese and sometimes to local Malays (that is why many Malays look more Indian and Chinese compared to their Indonesian cousins). And understandably they sired children born in Malaya. And these local born sons and daughters of the immigrants are those Malaysian Indians and Chinese of today, many who have never stepped foot in India or China since the day they were born.
Their parents and grandparents (some are third or fourth generation Malaysians while some, like the Melaka Chinese, have been ‘locals’ since 500 years ago) came to Malaya to serve the country and died in this country. And some of these ‘immigrants’ have been in the country longer than even Malays who are only second or third generation Malaysians.
The question of who came first is an arguable issue. There are Indians and Chinese who have been in Malaysia for hundreds of years and there are Malays who have been in the country less than 100 years. Nevertheless, this article is not to argue about who is more Bumiputera — the Malays, Indians or Chinese.
Everyone — Malays, Indians and Chinese alike — are sons and daughters of immigrants. It would be very difficult to dissect the three different races based on generalising. You would have to look at it on a case-to-case basis. My family came to Malaya in the mid-1700s. Tian Chua’s family came to Malaya much earlier than that. Dr Mahathir and Khir Toyo are merely second generation Malaysians although one became the Prime Minister and the other the Chief Minister of a State.
Okay, the purpose of this article is not to argue who is more Bumiputera as we can argue till the cows come home and will never reach a consensus. What I want to talk about is who has served this country and, therefore, can be considered a true patriot.
The railway, roads, bridges and buildings, right up to maybe the 1980s or so (that means for more than 100 years), were built by the Indians and Chinese (not the Malays). I still remember even as recent as the 1970s when Indians would work in the hot sun building the roads and laying the railway lines. They also worked in the estates and plantations. And the same goes for the tin mines and the construction industry, which were mainly a Chinese affair. And many died. There were numerous cases where entire Chinese communities were wiped out by disease and war and they had to bring in fresh loads of Chinese workers from China to replace those who had died. And the living conditions of these workers were pathetic. Trust me when I say detention under the Internal Security Act in Kamunting is luxurious compared to what these Indians and Chinese had to endure.
The Malayan civil service, legal system, education system, and whatnot, depended on the English educated Indians brought in from India. It was not until the 1920s or so, when the immigration policy was tightened, that the Malays were educated enough to start filling the ranks of the civil service. Even by the time of Merdeka the country still depended on the immigrants because there were not enough educated Malays to serve the country.
And almost all these people died in this country (only some went home to die) and their Malaysian-born children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are those Indians and Chinese you see in the country today.
To sum up: this country was built by the non-Malays. What we see today is the result of the contribution by the non-Malays. Initially, Malaya’s economy depended on rubber and tin, long before we had factories and heavy industries. And it was because we had immigrant Indians and Chinese is why we saw a thriving rubber and tin industry. If not because of rubber and tin, Malaysia would be amongst the poorest countries in this world.
Then we had three wars - the Second World War, the Malayan Emergency, and the Konfrantasi with Indonesia. And not just Malayans, but many foreign ‘Mat Salleh’ (white skins), as well as Africans, Fijians, Gurkhas, Indians, Punjabis, Bengalis, and many more, died in these wars. Of course, Malays died as well. But Malays were not the only ones who died in these three wars.
But is the contribution of these patriots ever remembered? The Malays scream, rant and rave that this is a Malay country. They declare that this is Tanah Melayu (Malay land). But we might not even have a country, at least not in the form that we see it now, if not for the fact that many not of Malay origin laid down their lives for this country. If the non-Malays, including the ‘Mat Salleh’, had not died for this country, Malaysia would no longer be an independent nation but just a small province of Indonesia.
When Malays talk about dying for your country, they just look at the three wars. But the death toll for these wars does not even come close to the death toll of those who died serving this country in other ways. Some died defending the country in wars. But many more died in the effort to build this country to what it is today. And many also died of mere old age after serving this country their entire life and then retired here as citizens.
But how do we repay these patriots or children and grandchildren of patriots not of Malay origin? We insult them. We threaten them. We discriminate against them. We oppress them. We persecute them. We treat them as second-class citizens. We refuse to recognise the patriotic contribution of their parents, grandparents or great grandparents in defending this country and in building this country to what it is today.
So these people feel hurt. So they feel that the sacrifices and contribution of their forefathers are not remembered and appreciated. So they decide to leave the country and go to another country that can better-appreciate their talents and skills instead of threatening and subjecting them to screams of “go back to your own country”.
Who are the traitors here? Are the traitors those who hijrah in search of a better life like what the Prophet Muhammad did? Or are the traitors those who ignore the patriotic contribution of Malayans from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s?
The Umno Ministers should be made to pass a history test before they can be appointed as Ministers. And they should also be made to pass a lie detector test every time they make a statement. As the Malays would say: bodoh (stupid) is bad enough. Bodoh sombong (arrogantly stupid) is unforgivable. And Umno Ministers are just that — bodoh sombong.

Obama's silence over Sodomy II draws flak
From Malaysiakini.
The Obama administration's silence over the trial for sodomy of Anwar Ibrahim drew flak yesterday from the Washington Post, second only to the New York Times as the voice of the liberal establishment in America.
In an article on the subject, the Post gave a cogent reason why the Obama administration's silence is myopic given its stated policy of engaging with the Islamic world.
In describing Anwar, 63, as the "leading advocate of democratic reform as an antidote to Islamic extremism", the paper, a must read for movers and shakers in the Beltway, held that the Malaysian Opposition Leader was a "natural ally of the US".
The Post described as "suspicious" the circumstances in which Anwar's accuser, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 25, had come to frame his charges.
"Two days before the alleged encounter, the man said, he met with Najib; the next day he phoned the national police chief. Before filing his complaint, he consulted with a close friend of Najib's wife," said the Post.
"When the accuser finally stepped forward, two days after the supposed sex, doctors could find no evidence of sodomy."
The Post said Prime Minister Najib Razak was being courted by the Obama administration as a useful ally in the fight against nuclear proliferation, and on Iran and Afghanistan.
According to the newspaper, Obama had not raised the issue of Sodomy II in a meeting with Najib when the latter visited Washington last month, a visit the Post said was hailed by Malaysia's pro-government media as an endorsement of Najib.
Apco's lobbying successful
This opinion of the paper provides oblique support for the theory that the lobbying of Apco Worldwide, some time communications consultant to the Najib administration, was useful in gaining the Malaysian PM a strategic assist in Obama foreign policy-making circles.
Anwar is being arraigned by the powerful rights and privileges committee for arguments he made about the role of Apco in speeches in Malaysia's Parliament in March.
The Post contrasted the Obama administration's silence with the attitude of the Clinton administration, whose vice-president Al Gore, had condemned the first sodomy trail in 1998.
The paper rounded off its report by calling Sodomy II an "ugly persecution".
Barack Obama's election to the US presidency in November 2008 was widely hailed as America's attempt to recover its stature in the world as advocate nonpareil of democracy and human rights after the aberrations of the Bush years.
But hardnosed observers of world affairs knew that the tests of whether he would drape US foreign policy with the mantle of idealism or resort to raison d'etat when it is expedient remained to be seen.

Gugurkan kes liwat Anwar, Kesatuan Inter-Parlimen
Kes liwat yang melibatkan Ketua Pembangkang Parlimen Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim kini mendapat perhatian Kesatuan Inter-Parlimen (Inter-Parliament Union, IPU), yang mengusulkan tujuh resolusi, termasuk menggugurkan kes ini dan melantik pemantau untuk menghadiri perbicaraan seterusnya.
Jawatankuasa Hak-hak Asasi Manusia dari Perhimpunan Antara Ahli-Ahli Parlimen Sedunia membuat pengumuman dalam perhimpunan yang diadakan di Bangkok, Thailand semalam, bahawa mereka sebulat suara mengusulkan resolusi ini kepada Governing Council.
Pengerusi jawatankuasa tersebut, iaitu Ketua Pembangkang Dewan Senat Filipina, Senator Aquilino Q Pimentel, Jr berkata, "Memandangkan kes liwat Anwar (gambar kiri) baru-baru ini dikritik secara umum sebagai cubaan untuk memusnahkan kerjaya politiknya", maka jawatankuasa ini mengusulkan:
Pertama, memberi prihatin terhadap tuduhan dan perbicaraan kes liwat yang baru, yang mana kelihatan sarat dengan "kecacatan" sebagaimana yang berlaku dalam kes liwat pertamanya beberapa tahun lalu, namun beliau telah dibebaskan kerana tidak bersalah;
Keduanya, dalam keadaan di mana dua laporan perubatan telah menunjukkan bahawa tiada kesan "tusukan" (penetration), maka ia tidak seharusnya dituduh sebermulanya, dan harus digugurkan sekarang;
Ketiganya, anggota barisan pendakwa raya dalam kes liwat yang pertama, iaitu Abdul Gani Patail (gambar kanan) yang dituduh mereka bukti palsu untuk menganiaya Anwar, kini terlibat dalam kes liwat yang kedua. Malah, barisan peguam pembela Anwar Ibrahim dilarang untuk mendapatkan bahan bukti, menyebabkan mereka gagal membuat persediaan untuk pembelaan;
Keempatnya, dalam kes ini, kedua-dua pihak mempunyai hak yang sama rata. Pembelaan dalam perbicaraan yang adil amat penting. Seandainya pembela tidak diberi ruang untuk menggunakan haknya, maka apa-apapun penghakiman adalah cacat.
Kelimanya, meminta agar Setiausaha mengaturkan agar pemantau menghadiri perbicaraan seterusnya.
Keenam, meminta agar Setiausaha menghubungi pihak parlimen Malaysia;
Ketujuh, menyeru agar jawatankuasa ini meneruskan siasatan kes ini, malah mengemukakan laporan dalam persidangan mesyuarat ke-123 yang akan diadakan pada Oktober tahun ini.
Tiga orang ahli parlimen Pakatan Rakyat yang menghadiri mesyuarat ke-122 ini adalah Hee Loy Sian (Petaling Jaya Selatan-PKR), Sim Tong Him (Kota Melaka-DAP) dan Senator Mumtaz bt Md.Nawi (PAS). Dalam satu kenyataan yang dikeluarkan dari pejabat Hee Loy Sian, kesemua perwakilan meluluskan resolusi yang diusulkan di atas, dengan pendirian "reserved" Malaysia turut dicatatkan.
IPU ditubuhkan pada tahun 1889, adalah sebuah badan antarabangsa yang berpusat di Geneva, Switzerland, dengan matlamat untuk menjalin hubungan antara parlimen sedunia ke arah demokrasi dan keamanan.
Negara Barat menyokong Anwar
Pada 11 Februari 2010, lebih daripada 50 orang ahli parlimen dan Senator di Australia telah menulis surat untuk meminta supaya institusi kehakiman Malaysia menggugurkan kes liwat Anwar.
Selepas itu, John Kerry, Pengerusi Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Amerika Syarikat juga mengeluarkan kenyataan, menggesa agar Malaysia memberi perbicaraan yang adil kepada Anwar Ibrahim. Beliau berkata, "Saya menyeru kerajaan Malaysia, terutamanya Perdana Menteri Najib untuk memastikan perbicaraan dan penghakiman yang adil terhadap Anwar."
Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kecil Hal Ehwal Negara Luar Australia, Michael Danby turut menuduh bahawa institusi kehakiman telah dipergunakan untuk mengusir Anwar dari politik, malah menganggap tuduhan ini mengejutkan pendukung demokrasi Asia, kerana semua orang Malaysia dan pakar undang-undang mengetahui bahawa Anwar tidak bersalah.
Selain itu, bekas Perdana Menteri Kanada, Paul Martin juga bersuara untuk membela Anwar. Kelantangan suara masyarakat antarabangsa telah menambah tekanan kepada kerajaan Najib.

委任观察员聆听安华审讯 全球国会联盟吁撤肛交案
文自独立新闻在线。
国会在野党领袖安华依布拉欣所涉及的肛交案不但获得美澳关注，如今更获得全球性的国会联盟（IPU）声援，向联盟理事会建议七项议案，包括要求撤销此案及委任观察员出席接下来的审讯。
国会联盟的国会议员人权委员会（Committee of IPU On the Human Rights of Parliamentarians）在昨天于泰国曼谷举行的国会联盟会议上宣布，他们一致决定针对安华肛交案向国会联盟理事会（Governing Council）提出建议。
国会议员人权委员会主席菲律宾参议院在野党领袖皮门特（Senator Aquilino Q Pimentel, Jr）说“考虑到安华最近的肛交诉讼案，广遭批判为意图破坏安华的政治生涯”，因此，向理事会提出下列议案：
（一）高度关注安华所面对的新一起肛交案控诉和审讯，此案漏洞重重，就跟数年前他已被判无罪的首次肛交案一样；
（二）相信在两份医药报告显示出，没有“插入”（penetration）体征的情况之下，不应该提出控诉，而现在更应该撤销此案；
（三）涉及首宗肛交案审讯的检控团成员，即曾被指控为捏造证据陷害安华、当时的主控官而现任总检察长阿都干尼（Abdul Gani Patail），再度涉及第二宗审讯，而安华辩护律师团则被禁止取得有关证据以准备辩护；
（四）在此提醒诉讼案中双方的平等权利，公平审讯中的辩护很重要，而若无法让辩方履行其权利，那法庭的任何裁决基本上都存有瑕疵；
（五）要求总秘书做出必要的安排，以确保有审讯观察员出席接下来的审讯；
（六）要求总秘书联络马来西亚国会当局；
（七）请求给于委员会继续调查这起案件，并在今年10月份举行的第123届国会联盟会议中提出报告。
出席第122届国会联盟会议的三名民联国会议员联署发表文告，他们是公正党八打灵再也南区（Petaling Jaya Selatan）国会议员许来贤、行动党马六甲市（Kota Melaka）国会议员沈同钦，以及回教党上议员孟塔兹（Mumtaz Md Nawi）。
所有出席会议的代表都支持上述所有议案，只有马来西亚保留看法。全球共有145个国家的国会议员出席这场盛会。
国会联盟（Inter-Parliamentary Union）成立于1889年，是全球国会的国际性组织，总部位于瑞士日内瓦，其宗旨为各国议会间搭起沟通的桥梁，促进民主及和平。

今年2月11日，超过50名澳洲国会议员和上议员呈交一封联署信函给马来西亚驻澳洲最高专员，要求马来西亚司法机构撤销对安华肛交案的检控。
过后，美国参议院外交委员会主席约翰克里（John Kerry）也发表声明，促马来西亚给予安华公平的审讯。他说：“我呼吁马来西亚政府，特别是首相纳吉确保针对前首相安华展开的法律程序公平和无私的裁决。”
澳洲国会外交事务委员会主席迈克丹比（Michael Danby）早前亦出奇地指摘马来西亚的司法系统被利用以将安华驱离政治，且说这项提控令亚洲的民主派大吃一惊，每一个马来西亚人和每个国际法律界的人士都知道安华是清白的。
此外，前加拿大总理保罗马丁（Paul Martin）亦就安华肛交案呛声，显见纳吉政府在这起案件中面对了极大的国际压力。
国会在野党领袖安华依布拉欣所涉及的肛交案不但获得美澳关注，如今更获得全球性的国会联盟（IPU）声援，向联盟理事会建议七项议案，包括要求撤销此案及委任观察员出席接下来的审讯。
国会联盟的国会议员人权委员会（Committee of IPU On the Human Rights of Parliamentarians）在昨天于泰国曼谷举行的国会联盟会议上宣布，他们一致决定针对安华肛交案向国会联盟理事会（Governing Council）提出建议。
国会议员人权委员会主席菲律宾参议院在野党领袖皮门特（Senator Aquilino Q Pimentel, Jr）说“考虑到安华最近的肛交诉讼案，广遭批判为意图破坏安华的政治生涯”，因此，向理事会提出下列议案：
（一）高度关注安华所面对的新一起肛交案控诉和审讯，此案漏洞重重，就跟数年前他已被判无罪的首次肛交案一样；
（二）相信在两份医药报告显示出，没有“插入”（penetration）体征的情况之下，不应该提出控诉，而现在更应该撤销此案；
（三）涉及首宗肛交案审讯的检控团成员，即曾被指控为捏造证据陷害安华、当时的主控官而现任总检察长阿都干尼（Abdul Gani Patail），再度涉及第二宗审讯，而安华辩护律师团则被禁止取得有关证据以准备辩护；
（四）在此提醒诉讼案中双方的平等权利，公平审讯中的辩护很重要，而若无法让辩方履行其权利，那法庭的任何裁决基本上都存有瑕疵；
（五）要求总秘书做出必要的安排，以确保有审讯观察员出席接下来的审讯；
（六）要求总秘书联络马来西亚国会当局；
（七）请求给于委员会继续调查这起案件，并在今年10月份举行的第123届国会联盟会议中提出报告。
出席第122届国会联盟会议的三名民联国会议员联署发表文告，他们是公正党八打灵再也南区（Petaling Jaya Selatan）国会议员许来贤、行动党马六甲市（Kota Melaka）国会议员沈同钦，以及回教党上议员孟塔兹（Mumtaz Md Nawi）。
所有出席会议的代表都支持上述所有议案，只有马来西亚保留看法。全球共有145个国家的国会议员出席这场盛会。

Melayu korban ? Cina korban ? India korban ? Siapa dapat lebih ?
Dalam satu temubual bersama Al-jazeera, Racist Melayu, Ibrahim Ali dengan biadapnya mengeluarkan cakap-cakap kotor "Don't talk Shit" sebanyak 3 kali bagi menolak komen rakyat Malaysia yang berkaum Cina yang mendakwa mereka dipinggirkan atas dasar ketidaksaksamaan & ketidakadilan kerajaan.
Saya bersetuju dengan dakwaan Ibrahim Ali bahawa orang Melayu telah banyak berkorban ke atas bebefits yang sepatutnya mereka dapat. Kalau kita tanya kaum Cina & India, mereka juga berpendapat bahawa mereka juga banyak bertolak-ansur dan berkorban ke atas benefits yang mereka layak perolehi selaku seorang rakyat Malaysia.
Soalnya sekarang, masing-masing telah banyak berkorban ke atas benefits yang sepatutnya mereka perolehi. Jadi siapa sebenarnya yang memperolehi serta menyamun dan ragut harta negara ???
JAWAPANNYA : UMNO DAN BN

人民联盟在历史性的3月8日到来前夕站稳脚步，透过一连串庆祝活动，向人民展示三党互相谅解，炮口一致对外的稳定关系。面对共主安华可能因为肛交案再度入狱的情况，民主行动党国会领袖林吉祥直言，安华入狱只会造成民联更加壮大，展现无惧与巫统短兵相接的气势。
两年前的今日，无人预料得到第12届大选让仓促成军的在野党联盟民联开出红盘，拿下五州政权，打破国阵壟断半个世纪之久的三分之二多数；两年之後，被人视为不可能组合的回教党与民主行动党愈来愈能求同存异，与人民公正党在政治大方向上携手并进。
在今日的雪兰莪州民联执政两周年庆祝大会上，有代表表示，所有民联成员党党员、领袖应该加强以民联作为认同对象，渐渐摒弃过去壁垒分明的政党分野。林吉祥在最後的领袖演说中也呼应这一点，强调大家必须同时看重本身政党与民联的未来。
他坦言这一年来国阵接连攻城，民联被迫处於守势，但他乐观以待各种负面消息与国阵的凌厉攻势，频频调侃国阵领袖、借题鼓舞士气。
例 如最近人民公正党共有三名国会议员退党，一名国会议员遭到开除，导致民主行动党国会议员人数以一席之差凌驾於人民公正党的27席之上，国阵领袖如巫统青年 团团长凯里（Khairy Jamaluddin）等人纷纷见缝插针，提出林吉祥应该当仁不让担任国会在野党领袖，离间民联三党关系。
但林吉祥先是与回教党同僚发表声明，支持安华继续担任该职，今天则是一记回马枪反刺凯里，“非常感谢（凯里），但他应该更关心自己为何没有受委副部长才对。”语毕，台下一片哄堂。
他接著说：“无论是民主行动党还是民联，我们都只有一个共同目标，那就是在下届大选入主布城，安华将会一直担任在野党领袖直到他成为首相！”
安华在其之後的演讲时也回应林吉祥的好意，赞扬後者资历比他更适合担任国会在野党领袖，“因为我之前担任的多是部长角色。”
二盟友不计退党潮
力挺公正党度难关
近来安华诉讼缠身，自家党员又接二连三退党出走，人民公正党瞬间看起来危机四伏，不过，二盟党却似乎非常坚定彼此的合作关系，力挺人民公正党。
以今日雪州民联大会为例，上台发言的代表不分党派纷纷谴责退党、跳槽者，却没有进一步责怪人民公正党，大家都把这次退党潮视为立党11年，人民公正党这个新兴政党的必经之路。
林吉祥（左图）就说：“不管是人民公正党、回教党还是民主行动党，如果有清理门户之必要，我们就必须这麽做。”他认为以议员比例来看，人民公正党当前的退党人数比之民主行动党1969年的跳槽人数还不足为道。
同 时，人民公正党在3月6日正式开除频惹争议的居林万达镇（Kulim Bandar）国会议员朱基菲里诺丁（Zulkifli Nordin）一举，亦获得盟友支持。林吉祥告诉在场三党代表，2010年3月6日可以是今年最有意义的一个日子，因为，“民联，尤其是人民公正党坚定、 坚持清理门户！”
获得盟友支持，安华亦不避忌的表示该党为了坚持原则，将不计人数开除无法与党、民联同行的伙伴，他说：“我们别无选择，只能驱逐这些（违纪）人士，不管是是一个、五个或六个人。”
在今天这场雪州民联大会上，上台致词的代表几乎是不计党派，纷纷谴责退党的三名议员，同时也对遭开除却表态不辞议员职的朱基菲里诺丁大加挞伐。所有代表几乎口径一致，向存有异心者大喊“要跳快跳”，对变节同僚并没有任何挽留之意。
回教党开明处理“阿拉”争议
民主行动党二州议员公开赞扬
另 一方面，一向被视为两个极端的民主行动党与回教党在经过两年合作之後，有渐入佳境之感，除了去年五月武吉干当（Bukit Gantang）国会议席补选，民主行动党积极为回教党籍的候选人尼查（Nizar Jamaluddin）催票造势；十月的峇眼槟榔（Bagan Pinang）补选也可看见民主行动党以处理自家党选的方式，为当地基层积弱的回教党辅选。
不过，今年一月爆开的“阿拉”（Allah） 使用争议，无疑让人为回教党与民主行动党捏了一把冷汗。民主行动党籍的升旗山国会议员刘镇东曾在演讲中表示，内政部长希山慕丁（Hishammuddin Hussein）在“阿拉”争议之前，言之凿凿的向首相纳吉挂保证，这个课题必然分裂民联关系，不料，结果却出人意表。
一向在宗教课题上立场保守的回教党中委会迅速在问题爆发一周内决议，其他天启宗教（Agama Samawi）如基督教、天主教、犹太教，皆可以“阿拉”称呼上帝。【点击：回教党中委会今议决 基督犹太教可用阿拉】
今天，两位民主行动党籍的雪州议员黄瑞林、刘永山在辩论环节特别赞扬回教党这项决定。黄瑞林认为，回教党在“阿拉”课题上持有的开明、包容及公开讨论态度值得称道。
“释放安华．票投民联”
跨入我国政治海啸两周年，砂拉越州选举跫音已近，国阵成员党已经开始备战第13届大选，但身为在野党领袖的安华（右图）却可能面对牢狱之灾，其肛交案将在本月25日恢复审讯。
不过，林吉祥却警告首相纳吉，透过不公的司法审讯限安华於囹圄，无法打击民联“民联不会因此而瓦解，反而会更加壮大，然後下届大选的口号就是‘释放安华，票投民联’（Free Anwar，Vote PR）。”其话音刚落，现场又是鼓掌与叫好声。
接 著下来，民联执政州属还有一系列执政二周年庆祝活动，三党领袖为了演讲行程更是马不停蹄、全国跑透透，与国阵第二大成员党马华公会仍处於三国鼎立的纷乱状 况相对照，民联此时展现力量恰好让人民看到对比，马华公会的乱局亦不小心映衬出民联的团结与稳固。巫统若要打击民联，可能须先稳住国阵数个成员党的内乱， 否则就是另觅奇计。

Apa Pasal Ibrahim Ali ???
Malangnya ramai pemimpin Melayu/Bumiputera yang ada kabel dengan Perdana Menter atau orang atasan lain dapat peluang hanya untuk jadi Ali kepada Baba. Maka dilantiklah Ali ini sebagai pengarah syarikat yang tak buat apa-apa kerja. Ali ini juga diberi saham. Maklumlah, Ali ini kan orang Bumiputra yang ada kedudukan istimewa dan peruntukan khas, walaupun bapa atau datuk dia lahir di Kerala atau Madras, atau di Aceh dan sebagainya. Orang yang benar-benar putera bumi di negara kita seperti Senoi, Negrito dan Proto Melayu di samping kumpulan-kumpulan etnik Semelai, Jakun, Temuan, Temiar dan sebagainya, tak pernah pula kita lihat dapat jawatan pengerusi syarikat-syarikat besarMereka tak ada perlindungan dibawah Perkara 153 yang ajaib itu.
Jadi bila wira Perkasa dan pengikut-pengikut UMNO Baru ini mahu pertahankan “keistemewaan” mereka, apakah sebenarnya yang mereka mahu pertahankan. Tak ada siapa pun yang bercadang nak ambil balik hak Bumiputera di bawah Perlembagaan. Tak orang bukan Melayu dan tidak juga Pakatan Rakyat yang mahu buat begitu. Lagi pun mustahil ianya dapat dilakukan dengan jumlah kerusi yang dipegang di Parlimen oleh kaum Bumiputera. Kadang-kadang ada di antara kita yang lupa bahawa di Sabah dan Sarawak, kaum Bumiputera merupakan kaum majoriti. Jadi apakah yang dibisingkan oleh “pembela hak Bumiputera” ini.
Sebenarnya, yang mereka mahu pertahankan ialah “sistem rentier” di mana nama Bumiputera UMNO itu ada harga untuk mendapat saham percuma atau elaun percuma atau jawatan pengarah dalam sesuatu syarikat. Mereka mahu Baba sentiasa perlukan servis dan nama mereka. Jadi Ali jenis ini sanggup terus mempertahankan elit Baba ini walaupun syarikat-syarikat Baba inilah yang menjadi persaingan dan mengurangkan peluang kepada peniaga Melayu yang tulin ikhlas yang mahu berniaga dengan erti kata yang sebenar. Inilah hakikatnya
Sepatutnya Ali ini perlu sedar diri dan benar-benar berjuang secara ikhlas. Apa yang perlu diperjuangkan oleh Ibrahim Ali dan Utusan Malaysia ialah supaya Model Ekonomi Baru yang dilaung-laungkan oleh Perdana Menteri Najib Razak itu dapat membanteras fenomena ekonomi pajakan nama Bumiputera Ali kepada Baba. Selagi Ali mendapat elaun murahan yang mudah dan percuma dari Baba, selagi itulah ekonomi orang Melayu akan dikawal oleh Ali yang ada kabel untuk kekayanan Baba. Baba ini pula bukan sebarangan Baba. Orang Cina pun tak suka mereka kerana bolot segala-galanya.
Tapi saya rasa adalah mustahil Najib akan membersihkan ekonomi “rentier” ini kerana para pemimpin UMNO akan marah, ketua Bahagian UMNO akan marah dan Ahli Parlimen UMNO akan marah. Mereka akan marah kalau Model Ekonomi Baru ini bersifat adil dan memberi peluang saksama kepada rakyat Malaysia. Mereka mahu kepentingan mereka dipertahankan. Mereka akan marah kerana akan hilang peluang mendapat elaun murahan’ peluang jual nama Jadi mungkin Model Ekonomi Baru ini sebenar tak ada apa yang baru kecuali tabiat lama yang akan terus mementingkan UMNOputra. Tetapi kita sedia teliti dan meneliti dasar baru ini dengan adil..

例 如最近人民公正党共有三名国会议员退党，一名国会议员遭到开除，导致民主行动党国会议员人数以一席之差凌驾於人民公正党的27席之上，国阵领袖如巫统青年 团团长凯里（Khairy Jamaluddin）等人纷纷见缝插针，提出林吉祥应该当仁不让担任国会在野党领袖，离间民联三党关系。
但林吉祥先是与回教党同僚发表声明，支持安华继续担任该职，今天则是一记回马枪反刺凯里，“非常感谢（凯里），但他应该更关心自己为何没有受委副部长才对。”语毕，台下一片哄堂。
他接著说：“无论是民主行动党还是民联，我们都只有一个共同目标，那就是在下届大选入主布城，安华将会一直担任在野党领袖直到他成为首相！”
安华在其之後的演讲时也回应林吉祥的好意，赞扬後者资历比他更适合担任国会在野党领袖，“因为我之前担任的多是部长角色。”
二盟友不计退党潮
力挺公正党度难关
近来安华诉讼缠身，自家党员又接二连三退党出走，人民公正党瞬间看起来危机四伏，不过，二盟党却似乎非常坚定彼此的合作关系，力挺人民公正党。
以今日雪州民联大会为例，上台发言的代表不分党派纷纷谴责退党、跳槽者，却没有进一步责怪人民公正党，大家都把这次退党潮视为立党11年，人民公正党这个新兴政党的必经之路。
林吉祥（左图）就说：“不管是人民公正党、回教党还是民主行动党，如果有清理门户之必要，我们就必须这麽做。”他认为以议员比例来看，人民公正党当前的退党人数比之民主行动党1969年的跳槽人数还不足为道。同 时，人民公正党在3月6日正式开除频惹争议的居林万达镇（Kulim Bandar）国会议员朱基菲里诺丁（Zulkifli Nordin）一举，亦获得盟友支持。林吉祥告诉在场三党代表，2010年3月6日可以是今年最有意义的一个日子，因为，“民联，尤其是人民公正党坚定、 坚持清理门户！”
获得盟友支持，安华亦不避忌的表示该党为了坚持原则，将不计人数开除无法与党、民联同行的伙伴，他说：“我们别无选择，只能驱逐这些（违纪）人士，不管是是一个、五个或六个人。”
在今天这场雪州民联大会上，上台致词的代表几乎是不计党派，纷纷谴责退党的三名议员，同时也对遭开除却表态不辞议员职的朱基菲里诺丁大加挞伐。所有代表几乎口径一致，向存有异心者大喊“要跳快跳”，对变节同僚并没有任何挽留之意。
回教党开明处理“阿拉”争议
民主行动党二州议员公开赞扬
另 一方面，一向被视为两个极端的民主行动党与回教党在经过两年合作之後，有渐入佳境之感，除了去年五月武吉干当（Bukit Gantang）国会议席补选，民主行动党积极为回教党籍的候选人尼查（Nizar Jamaluddin）催票造势；十月的峇眼槟榔（Bagan Pinang）补选也可看见民主行动党以处理自家党选的方式，为当地基层积弱的回教党辅选。
不过，今年一月爆开的“阿拉”（Allah） 使用争议，无疑让人为回教党与民主行动党捏了一把冷汗。民主行动党籍的升旗山国会议员刘镇东曾在演讲中表示，内政部长希山慕丁（Hishammuddin Hussein）在“阿拉”争议之前，言之凿凿的向首相纳吉挂保证，这个课题必然分裂民联关系，不料，结果却出人意表。
一向在宗教课题上立场保守的回教党中委会迅速在问题爆发一周内决议，其他天启宗教（Agama Samawi）如基督教、天主教、犹太教，皆可以“阿拉”称呼上帝。【点击：回教党中委会今议决 基督犹太教可用阿拉】
今天，两位民主行动党籍的雪州议员黄瑞林、刘永山在辩论环节特别赞扬回教党这项决定。黄瑞林认为，回教党在“阿拉”课题上持有的开明、包容及公开讨论态度值得称道。
“释放安华．票投民联”
跨入我国政治海啸两周年，砂拉越州选举跫音已近，国阵成员党已经开始备战第13届大选，但身为在野党领袖的安华（右图）却可能面对牢狱之灾，其肛交案将在本月25日恢复审讯。不过，林吉祥却警告首相纳吉，透过不公的司法审讯限安华於囹圄，无法打击民联“民联不会因此而瓦解，反而会更加壮大，然後下届大选的口号就是‘释放安华，票投民联’（Free Anwar，Vote PR）。”其话音刚落，现场又是鼓掌与叫好声。
接 著下来，民联执政州属还有一系列执政二周年庆祝活动，三党领袖为了演讲行程更是马不停蹄、全国跑透透，与国阵第二大成员党马华公会仍处於三国鼎立的纷乱状 况相对照，民联此时展现力量恰好让人民看到对比，马华公会的乱局亦不小心映衬出民联的团结与稳固。巫统若要打击民联，可能须先稳住国阵数个成员党的内乱， 否则就是另觅奇计。

'Lead to serve, Salehuddin'
From Malaysiakini
'It's sad that Anwar Ibrahim surrounds himself with people like this, not to mention all the other frogs. You can take them out of Umno, but you cannot take the Umno out of them.'
Syed Husin: Salehuddin wanted GLC job
Abdul Rahman Lim: Bravo to you, Salehuddin Hashim. RM9,000 is for you a 'pittance' for the job of PKR secretary-general, yet you have the cheek to offer your services for RM1 as chief executive officer of Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Bhd.
You are talking rubbish. Maybe RM1 is nothing, but there are bigger things behind the CEO position from which you can reap millions. You think we are all small kids with no brains?
BTN: It's time we tell all politician that they as wakil rakyat (elected representatives) exist to serve the people, not to get rich. The Pakatan Rakyat culture is that of service to the people. If they want to make money, they should join BN, and Umno, in particular.
Rayfire: RM9,000 is not pittance. US$3,000 is worth even more! This just confirms that these so-called 'original activists' are just disgruntled Umno members who, despite leaving PKR, still expect personal gains.
The slogan for Umno 'Dulu, kini dan selama-lamanya' ('Umno was here then, it is here now, and will be here forever') should be changed to 'Dulu berprinsip, kini korup, dan selama-lamanya angkuh!'('Umno was principled then, it is now corrupt, and will forever be arrogant').
Tanteo: It's sad that Anwar Ibrahim surrounds himself with people like this, not to mention all the other frogs. You can take them out of Umno, but you cannot take the Umno out of them. Sometimes I have my doubts about Anwar. I'd trust Syed Husin Ali any day.
Wira: It's the same old story whenever a PKR leader resigns. Why can't a leader land himself a job in the commercial sector on his/her own merits without pulling strings or depending on political patronage? We have such low quality materials in our political leadership. It's no wonder this country is going to the dogs.
Tired: All these revelations about former PKR members wanting this and that (tenders, GLC posts, chairmanship, etc) is proof that when you are in power, PKR, DAP or PAS, you become the same as Umno, MCA and MIC.
Welcome to Malaysian politics, the politics of patronage. So all those promises about wiping out corruption, 'berjuang untuk rakyat', (fighting for the people), fighting for justice and equality, they are just political statements.
Don't believe politicians, no matter which party they represent. They are of the same mould.
Who will succeed Anwar?
Ong Guan Sin: I commend the openness and seriousness on the part of Anwar in discussing the succession issue. Succession planning is an important aspect of a serious organisation, but a really tricky one for a organisation full of politicians.
Anwar tackled the question well, by leaving it to its core business - the democratic process. I am sure this has pushed the maturity of democracy in Malaysia another notch higher. For those who have been alleging Anwar to be 'mad' about prime ministership, this succession discussion has proven them wrong.
Abd Hamid: In a democracy, it's the people who decides. This is something Umno has never accepted, so they try to witchhunt opposition leaders thinking they can continue their evil and corruption.
Anwar has planted the seeds of democracy, for which the people are thankful. If the people really want and desire freedom and justice and fairness, it's up to them to spearhead the revolution in the next general election.
PAS, DAP stand by Pakatan as PKR rocked by defections
Black Mamba: Since March 8, 2008, PAS seems to stand out as a better Malay-based party than Umno. This has been shown clearly in the way issues have been raised and handled. Come next election, I am going to vote for PAS if it stands for election in my constituency.
Disgusted: Way to go Pakatan. This shows that the individual parties in Pakatan are not greedy and willing to squabble about who is to lead. DAP has made it clear that even if it should have the majority of seats in Parliament, it will not be want the position of opposition leader and would continue to support PKR and Anwar.
BN is hoping to cause chaos within Pakatan through the subservient mainstream media, but it will fail miserably. The people are not fools. As for the 'independents' their future is doomed for their double-crossing.
Keturunan Malaysia: Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future. You Pakatan frogs have a past, but you have no future.
Ghkok: I am thrilled. Under the most severe test since March 2008, I see a Pakatan Rakyat that is standing firm, standing tall and united. I see dignity and, at the same time, defiance in the face of a severe assault from BN. I see cohesion, focus and commitment. I see a Pakatan that is ready for Putrajaya. We'll be there with them. We'll be finally free from the tyranny of BN.
Petricio: All these frogs fool themselves, thinking that it is on their own merit that they were elected into Parliment. By defecting they have effectively put the final nails into the coffins of their career.
The mainstream media are highlighting this as if Pakatan were falling apart. But I believe many people are seeing the positive ways in which the Pakatan states are run. Perhaps Penang stands out as an outstanding one.
Ferdtan: Truly PAS is for all.

The Reality of Malaysia
Below artical published in Sin Chew Jit Poh 2/12/2009 column.I took the liberty to do a little translation for the benefit of those handicapped by Mandarin.夢醒時分 The moment when dream is awakened...

你是否和我一樣，發覺身邊的親戚和朋友，似乎少了許多。
I wonder you feel the same as me, all the sudden I realized friends and relatives around me seems to get less and less.
以往接近過年時，各種聚餐排得滿滿的，而今年，似乎沒聲沒息。
Those years when the New Year drew near, all sorts of gathering appointments almost completely filled the diaries, but this year seems so quiet.
即使是平常日子，電話少了，與大家見面也少了。

也不盡然如此。再想一想，很多老友和親戚，已經不在了。嗟！

However, it is not entirely like this, thinking further, actually old friends and relatives are not around any more. God bless, they are still alive and well, they just left the country, Malaysia .

At first, I thought these are individual cases, but gradually, people around me realized the same, these are not individual cases but a general symptom of our society. They are not small numbers but they are pretty big indeed.
