Chased out first by police, now Mara

Families of former Sabah "Border Scouts" were shocked
when MARA officers said they were told by Sabah Land
and Survey Department to have a look at 10 acres of
their 45 acre settlement.

By Luke Rintod of FMT

KENINGAU : Days after families of former Sabah “Border Scouts” or “polis pengakap sempadan” aired their worries of being chased out from their settlement a second time by their own former employer, the PDRM or Royal Police of Malaysia, another federal agency has taken an interest to take over part of their 45 acres here.

Families of those aged and some ill former warriors of Sabah’s border were taken aback when a group of officers claiming to be from MARA or Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) came to their settlement and took pictures of the areas last week.

Fulfill Malaysia Agreement or Go Separate Ways - Dr. Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu: “Now that the installation of Pehin Sri Taib as the 7th Governor of Sarawak has taken place, the leaders of Sabah and Sarawak need to focus and speak with one voice that the Malaysia Agreement needs to be implemented and fulfilled” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief, commenting on Malaysia’s top judge, Chief Justice Tun Arifin Zakaria that Sabah and Sarawak formed Malaysia and that they are key partners in the Federation of Malaysia.

Breaking the Mind Control in Malaysia, Sarawak Style

The government especially the BN/UMNO government has been involved in mind control experiments since Malaysia is formed.  Their forays into this activities can be seen from their attempt to distort history, which some are directly imposed upon the ignorant population through the education history curriculum especially in schools.  There are also other ways less obvious that they are doing through “subliminal stimuli” – using any sensory stimuli below individual threshold for conscious perception.  These have been scientifically proven and the techniques used extensively after the First World War especially in the United States and Europe.  For more detail review of these ideas please read Gustav La Bon, Edward Barney and Walter Lippmann.

As the result, these techniques become a tool that the authority in Malaysia has adopted to indoctrinate the population to conform to a certain ideas.  A very good example of this is in the use of subliminal stimuli on the general population to accept that Malaysia was established since 1957.

LIMITATIONS TO SUPREMACY OF MALAYSIA CONSTITUTION

Who cares when you or me shouted defiance at UMNO, but when a Chief Minister of a State whisper defiance the whole world take notice.  Defiance in the face of nature or such things is just a mere shouting match.  But defiance against the most powerful and long lasting political party such as UMNO in Malaysia now that is for the history books.  Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud rejection over UMNO and its brand of politics in Sarawak is something not to be trifle with.  To strengthen his defiance he had thrown the Malaysia Agreement 1963 to legitimize his claim.  Taib tough stand exposes Sabah government weaknesses and pathetic effort in defending Sabah “independent” rights as well.  Effectively Taib has drawn a clear dividing line between Sarawak and UMNO in Malaya, but what about UMNO in Sabah? Is Taib leaving his rear wide open?

Apabila pemimpin-pemimpin kita menjadi.....

Peter Marajin 4:29pm Feb 27 Apabila pemimpin-pemimpin kita menjadi "talibarut" Malaya, apa telah terjadi?. Sila baca artikel yang sangat menarik oleh saudara Zainnal Ajamain di bawah ini: Politik Proxi di Malaysia Bagaimana impaknya di Sabah dan Sarawak Jika kita memerhatikan politik di Amerika Syarikat kita melihat bahawa polisi yang sama dijalankan walaupun pelakon yang berbeza duduk di Rumah Putih. Kami memerhatikan politik jenis sama yang dimainkan di Malaysia. Ia bukan mengenai sistem dua parti, ia bukan sistem penentu (Kingmaker) dan ia bukan satu negara dua sistem. Ia adalah mengenai sifat ketamakan jelas dan nyata dan siapa yang berkuasa mengawal kekayaan di Malaysia. Ini adalah kebenarannya terutama sekali apabila dasar Malaya ke atas Sabah dan Sarawak. Bagaimana ini dimainkan?

Islam not a religion but way of life, says Kuwaiti writer

GEORGE TOWN, Feb 25 — Islam has been misunderstood to be a “religion” when it is really a way of life that preaches freedom for all, including non-Muslims, Kuwaiti author and Islamic motivational speaker Dr Tareq Al-Suwaidan said last night.

The self-described “moderate Islamist”, whose television shows draw millions of viewers on satellite networks in the Middle East, also said Islam’s goal is to create a civil state that administers justice that does not discriminate against a person’s skin colour, gender, or creed.
