Did you know?

In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. 

Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'

Alarming number of illegals

By Martin Carvalho, The Star

PETALING JAYA: The ongoing biometric registration exercise for foreign workers has revealed an alarming scenario of over a million illegals compared to legal workers.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the exercise should not be viewed lightly as the presence of too many illegals could undermine national security.

Shocking racial ‘imbalance’ in civil service

So much for 1Malaysia concept

KUCHING: Change, like charity should begin at home.  Likewise Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak should have begun implementing his 1Malaysia concept within the civil service first before attempting to ‘teach the world’.

Alas this has not happened and Najib, according to Sarawak DAP has failed miserably in improving the racial composition of the civil service.

The situation is a poor reflection of his seriousness in implementing the 1Malaysia concept.

10 Worst Photoshop Disasters

Have you ever wondered whether the oh-so-impeccable images that you see in posters and magazines are real? Many of these perfect shots have been retouched, or “airbrushed” using Photoshop before being unveiled for the whole world to see. However, sometimes these manual manipulations go a little too far. This post will be taking you through some of the worst Photoshop disasters in recent times.

Disaster #10:  Head or pelvis? Which is smaller?
I dare not hope for either.

Wikileaks: Sabah: Porous Borders; Problems With Foreigners; Unhappy Umno Coalition Partner

Two PBS state assemblymen, Ching Eng Leong and Samson Chin Chee Tsu, told us on October 4 that former PM Mahathir began the initiative prior to the 1994 state assembly election, in order to ensure UMNO's political takeover of Sabah. UMNO's control was further solidified during the 1999 state election, as UMNO granted more foreigners citizenship and voting rights under what came to be known as "Project Mahathir."

Summary
1. (C) The police, political leaders, a human rights official in the East Malaysia state of Sabah recently expressed their concerns to us about rising crime and the security impact from the high number of foreigners - both legal and illegal - residing in the state.  Sabah's Acting Police Commissioner said illegal migrants and other foreigners committed three out of four violent crimes in the state, but he did not address terrorist threats or transnational crime syndicates.

"Great Leader"'s son is Director in the San Miguel Corp, the largest beer brewery in the Philippines

Typical hypocrite. When poor helpless Muslims (like Kartika) are whipped for the act of consuming 3 glasses of beer, a well connected son of a scion, is now set to benefit in the millions by selling billions of mugs of beer. His father was the first one to have declared that " Malaysia is an Islamic state". His brother Mukhriz, who also happens to be super rich is one of the great stalwarts of Malay and Muslim rights. Malaysia has become another Animal Farm. As George Orwell said; " All men are born equal, but some are more equal than others."

A ‘donkey’ is better than Taib

KUCHING – Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS) leader Francis Paul Siah said today that Sarawak would be better off having a ‘donkey’ for a chief minister than Abdul Taib Mahmud.

“Taib’s sycophants in Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu (PBB) who had lambasted MoCS for its campaign to oust Taib seem to think that the chief minister is the smartest and most capable man in Sarawak who should rule forever.

“Lest we forget, some of the early leaders of Sarawak were illiterate. A former Sarawak minister in the Federal Cabinet never went to school. Two former Sarawak chief ministers were not highly educated.

Sabah leaders put in a fix over ‘Borneonisation’ suit

The Sabah government and the ruling BN members must support
the legal action, says UBF chairman Jeffrey Kitingan.

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government and the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition members have been put in a quandary by a legal suit filed recently by two Sabahans against the federal and state governments for their failure to adhere to the Malaysia Agreement.

The sticking point is that almost 50 years after Sabah agreed to join the Federation of Malaya together with Sarawak and Singapore, the “Borneonisation” of the federal civil service as spelt out in the agreement has still not taken place.

Sabah-based BN components should call Umno’s bluff and join UBF

By Daniel John Jambun

What is happening to the BN in Sabah? If one were to make a simple observation, it would be obvious that all is not well, and it has been so for a long time now. While Umno is having its own internal strife, it is also embroiled in clashes with the other component parties which Umno treats with contempt. We can go back to 2008 when the then president of LDP resigned his post as Deputy Chief Minister suddenly without stating any reason, and causing a lot of speculation. Since then Umno leaders had antagonized LDP at various levels, including demanding for seats currently held by LDP. Then it demanded seats held by Upko, causing an Upko leader to retort sarcastically, “Go ahead and take it!”
 

Who is REALLY behind Malaysia Today?

They are always trying to speculate as to who could be behind Malaysia Today. Raja Petra is broke. Raja Petra has no money. Raja Petra could not afford to finance Malaysia Today. So surely there must be someone else behind Malaysia Today who is helping to finance the operation. It is impossible for Malaysia Today to operate otherwise.

Who is REALLY behind Malaysia Today? That has been the million-dollar question since way back in 2004 when Malaysia Today was first launched.
