From Sylvester Goh, via e-mail
Saudara Guan Eng,
We, Pakatan supporters, congratulate you on your perfect, top class performance as Chief Minister of Penang. Your boastful letter head with the tagline, “Penang Best Lah – Envy of true-blood Patriotic Malaysians” make egoistic tyrants like Khir Toyo, Ibrahim Ali turn green with envy.
We did not want to write to you to correct you because we know you will never listen to unffavourable feedback. Your comrades complain about your ego. Since we keep receiving the same mail “Penang Best Lah….” sent by your government-paid cyber troopers, we better give you our feedback nevetheless, before you bring the whole of Pakatan Rakyat down with you.
BORN IN EGYPT..... ...Life of a MUSLIM WOMAN
This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim. This is not hearsay, and it will scare you. Make sure you read the paragraph (in red) towards the end.
Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child, consummating the marriage by 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Of lousy Russian medical college !
Weasley | May 26, 09 4:24pm
I am a medical student from Russia as well. Best part is, I or rather we, did not choose to come here. We are all scholars sent here by either JPA or MARA.
If you were to Google "Moscow Medical Academy" it is ranked by UNESCO as the second best medical university in the world.. Do not be fooled by this because I was one who was fooled as well. Only after I landed in Moscow did I know that the "2nd best in the world" is specifically granted to the Russian medium of this medical school.

PENAMPANG: Curiosity abounds here over maverick politician ‘s latest move to hold the ‘biggest ever’ Borneo tea party in the interior of Sabah in conjunction with Malaysia Day on Sept 16.
His United Borneo Front (UBF) has scheduled a gathering in Kampung Entilibon, Telupid, some 240 kilometres from here. Entilibon is located in a remote part of Sabah.

Norway killing spree from European eye
By Cedric Daanvey
ANTWERP, Belgium: Last Friday (July 22, 2011) we were all shocked in Europe to hear that a guy shot 90 teenagers in Norway. Everyone condemns the incidents fiercely, yet I noticed during the interviews that many of the victims were not Norwegian, as I thought before. They were many youngsters from what appears to be muslim origin!!!

Time for Change
We have had 54 years of UMNO-N rule and have things really gotten any better? The rich appear to get richer, whilst the numbers who make up the poor, are increasing. The old class system was royalty versus the serfs. Then it was the colonialists against the Malayans. Now it looks like it is the Umnoputras versus the rest.
The Umnoputras are the new elite. Even royalty depends on the largesse of those who lead UMNO-BN to get funding from the civil list. When it suits them, BN will use emotional blackmail on the Malays to say that their heartland and their birthright is being threatened.

Tengku Razaleigh & Friends
The launch of Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (Amanah) last Friday by Tengku Razaleigh was not well reported by the mainstream media. That’s not at all surprising, but it’s still regrettable. Any movement—political or otherwise—that seeks to promote unity in the country deserves support from all quarters.
We are a divided country; that is obvious for anyone to see. To know that some of our erstwhile leaders (mainly from BN) are getting together to declare “enough is enough” and target the present malaise gives hope to many Malaysians.
The man who would be PM
But we failed to take into consideration one very important point. And this one very important point is Dr Mahathir is a more seasoned politician than we gave him credit for. And the script for the final scenario was written by him: his puppet Najib became Prime Minister instead of Ku Li who wanted then to be ‘independent’, reform the government, and offer the opposition a role in the government under a Unity Government.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Why is Umno quiet about Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and his Amanah? The answer is that they simply can’t do anything about it.
Even among Umno members there is increasing disquiet about how things are managed.
Saifuddin Abdullah’s recent ‘out-of-line’ statements and Khairy Jamaluddin’s conscientious objections are only tips of the icebergs.
 |
| To sack Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah from Umno is to precipitate the party's own implosion. |
Tengku Razaleigh is merely pointing out the realities. He is still an Umno member – so what can Umno do at the moment?
A good joke on what happened during Najib - Queen Elizabeth encounter

government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"
" Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Najib frowned, and then asked, " But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"

Sebelum ini alasan menahan enam yang terbabit dikatakan kerana terlibat dengan aktiviti subversif. Akan tetapi ternyata itu merupakan helah pemerintah untuk memburuk burukkan Bersih 2.0. semata-mata.

Bankruptcy now firmly in sight for Malaysia?

Amidst all the racial and religious rhetoric served up by the politicians of the day, Malaysia is facing a far greater problem. The various political entities in Malaysia can throw all the mud they want at each other, and fight over who should be the next this and that, but if left unchecked; there may not be much of a country to govern within the next two to three years.

Is Jho Low a Trojan horse?
I sometimes wonder whether this is genuine stupidity or whether Jho Low is a Trojan horse who is doing all this very cleverly and intentionally to accelerate Najib’s downfall. Why allow Najib’s enemies easy access to ammunition? Jho Low seems to be offering Rosmah’s and Najib’s head to their enemies on a silver platter.

More powerful Sabah Education Director if Pakatan Rakyat takes over Govt
By Ezra Haganez
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah and Sarawak can look forward to a more liberalised and decentralised education system under a Pakatan Rakyat Federal Government. But only if PR takes over the Government from ruling Barisan Nasional, that's it.
PKR Vice President, Tian Chua, said PR is aware of the complains from Sabah leaders that the state education director has become less and less powerful lately in determining the management of its education system as the ruling BN has adopted a more centralising policy on the two East Malaysian states.
How much you paid for Najib and Muhyiddin residence
KUALA LUMPUR, June 28 — The official residences of the prime minister and his deputy cost the taxpayer RM48.7 million in the last five years for rent, repairs, electricity and water, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz has revealed.

In Malaysia, When in Doubt, Blame the Jews
It's time for Malaysian leaders to grow up. Relying on big-lie Jewish conspiracies is no substitute for honest and transparent governance.
On July 9, 20,000 Malaysians gathered in Kuala Lumpur to demand more transparency in electoral laws in connection with next year's national elections.
Police unleashed tear gas and chemical-laced water on the demonstrators and temporarily detained nearly 1,700 of them. According to reports, authorities also detained six opposition activists without trial and accused them of trying to use the rally to spread communism. Police said they found T-shirts and other materials linked to communist figures.

Very moving article on Bersih rally
EYEWITNESS I am a middle class Chinese Malaysian, who works in an investment bank in Johor Bahru. I first heard about Bersih and its idea only around June 20, 2011.
I never knew the previous Bersih rally in 2007, and all the people involved then. But right after I heard about it, I knew that it was very important and every decent Malaysian had to support it.
Therefore, I asked around my friends to car pool over from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur to join the event.

Ku Li’s Amanah a key to national revival?
By Daniel John Jambun
I feel it is very exciting that our highly respected veteran leader Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, popularly known as Ku Li, has already launched his new outfit Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (Amanah) towards nurturing unity as espoused by the country’s founding fathers.In the midst of our sharp racial divisions at the moment, Amanah said in a statement recently that the group wants “to reaffirm, inculcate and re-ignite the sense of togetherness and true family spirit that prevailed among all Malaysians during the time of our common struggle for national independence”. It also said it wants to rekindle the legacy, promise and ideals of Bapa Malaysia and the founding fathers so that all Malaysians may live together as members of a truly just, fair, progressive, united and happy nation community. Its other objectives are:

"This is aimed at attracting youths to join the army as those, who are well trained, can be absorbed into the army.

Rosmah factor in Sabah Umno
 |
| In Sabah Umno, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's wife Rosmah Mansor, strangely enough, seems to be an important factor in the battle between party vice-president Shafie Apdal and Chief Minister Musa Aman. |
Within Umno there are three groups of “intelligentsia” – two official and one unofficial. Each group has been turning out their own reports.
But of interest to Sabah is the group which believes that in order for Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) to become a “better and reformed” party, it should be “dethroned” first.
“A dethroned Umno and BN can make a stronger comeback in the 14th general election… There will be better unity and appreciation of each other,” said a veteran Umno insider.

US ambassador James R.

Surviving The Coming Hard Times!
By Stanley Koh
(MCA - Head Of Research Unit)
It turns out that the government you voted in will not hold your hand to see you through hard times. Instead, it will make sure to add to your suffering because that is the easiest way it can avoid going bankrupt.
Barisan Nasional has apparently decided that the time has come to remove or cut subsidies — the kind of subsidies that poor people depend on, not the kind enjoyed by big corporations and monopolistic suppliers of utilities and infrastructural support.
So what is the use of a government that will eagerly shake your hand during election time but will not hesitate to pull the rug from under your feet when it needs to save itself?

The Price of Malaysia 's Racism - Revisited
Written by John Malott
EXCLUSIVE When my op-ed appeared in the Asian Wall Street Journal last February, all hell broke loose in Malaysia . My thesis was that the highest levels of the government were tolerating or even provoking racial and religious tensions in order to shore up their political base among the Malay community.
I also pointed out that there is an economic price to pay for that political calculation, namely, that members of the minority communities increasingly will feel unwelcome in their own country and continue to emigrate overseas, taking their talents and skills with them.

Muruts win right to stay on ancestral land
By Luke Rintod of FMT
TAWAU: In yet another landmark decision in support of native customary rights (NCR) in Sabah and Sarawak, the Tawau High Court dismissed with cost the application of eight companies to evict Murut natives living in Kampung Serudong Laut here.

“Adalah lebih berhemat, jika Kerajaan Persekutuan menghantar mereka ke negeri-negeri lain di Malaysia secara purata 125,000 orang PATI bagi setiap negeri terutama bagi masalah kekurangan tenaga buruh atau untuk kepentingan politik..” kata Tan Sri Simon Sipaun, Mantan Naib Presiden SUHAKAM.
Tan Sri Simon Sipaun merupakan rakan lama saya ketika kami sama-sama dalam perkhidmatan kerajaan dan sikap tegasnya tidak berubah sekalipun telah bersara daripada Kerajaan.
Bagi saya, beliau adalah seorang negarawan yang wajar dicontohi oleh lelaki Malaysia kerana sumbangan dan baktinya kepada rakyat Sabah dan kesinambungan perjuangan hak asasi manusia.
Suaranya yang lantang kadangkala tidak disenangi pemerintah seolah tidak sedar kepada siapa beliau bercakap sehingga seringkali dianggap sebagai suara pembangkang sedangkan pada dasarnya beliau menyuarakan suara rakyat yang tertindas.

The announcement came following Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s audience with Pope Benedict XVI at the papal summer residence, Castel Gandolfo, outside Rome today. The head of the Roman Catholic Church usually spends the summer outside the church’s capital Vatican City.
A good reminder for all
LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING
To the men : warn your loved ones!
To the women : remember this!
About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega Mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women.

Peter Marajin's reply to Herbert’s outburst on 17.07.2011
Press Statement by
Mr Peter Marajin
SAPP Supreme Council Member
Kota Kinabalu, July 18, 2011
Responding to Datuk Herbert Lagadan's statement yesterday, herewith is my response to it:
On YB Herbert's insistence that the Tambatuon Dam be built:
Has he actually seen the Working Papers or experts’ Report on the proposed project? Have the affected people in Tambatuon been given the opportunity to read and study the Report. Have the YB and the Authorities or the Interested Parties who proposed the project held dialogues with the affected people in Tambatuon about the project so as to give the people the opportunity to voice out their opinions, doubts and apprehensions (if any) and for the Authorities to clear the air?
Sabah gov’t housing policy more for aliens?

The recent announcement by Datuk Madius Tangau that the state government was forming three committees to look into three important problems in Sabah, namely citizenship and immigrants, land affairs and political appointment/power sharing clearly showed it was a belated plan by a neglectful or a failed government.
Red Rally, August 13th in Sarawak by Dr John Brian
By Dr John Brian Anthony
The Chairman of MoCS Francis Siah has confirmed that the “walk” is on. The Sarawak Government has been very vocal in opposing such walk as the “RED Rally”. The objections are many and many Sarawakian has voiced their negative opinion on the RED Rally walk. The most interesting excuse is that it is not Sarawak culture to create havoc or inconvenience others. Why is a democratic right to assemble associated with “culture” in Sarawak? There is no relevance at all or no link to one another at all. The Cabinet members in Sarawak might not have been brief properly. But if Sarawak practice democracy as window dressing but in fact employ dictatorship in reality then of course the cabinet members can say that the rally is “illegal”.
