FAMILY POLITIC

1.   I'm really attracted with Mohd Puad Zarkashi's explanation that it's not possible for politic practice or dynasty to happen easily in UMNO.

2.   The reason is UMNO's law has been amended to allow 146,000 delegates will chose who will be going to general meeting and not the delegates that small in number will chose.

3.   Divisions are different sizes. There are divisions ten times bigger than the other.

4.    Taken into consideration are not number of delegates vote but number of divisions nominate and appoint. Number of division is actually less than number of delegates going to general meeting. Voters will not increased but reduced.

5.     Previously, some divisions don't have power, but now more powerful than the delegates.

6.     I was chosen by Tun Hussein who is not my family to become Deputy Prime Minister. Those who chose me to become Deputy UMNO President are delegates chosen to general meeting. Obviously, many are dissatisfied and angry but there is no other candidate for them to vote. Same thing happened when I chosen as President. Then I was challenged. But I won even with only 43 votes.

7.   I'm just reminding in my blog that family ties shouldn't be made as basic selection or rejection.

8.   I couldn't understand why I was wrong for saying that only those are eligible and love UMNO have the right to be appionted to all positions and family ties cannot be the basic for selection or rejection.

9.   Is UMNO wants family ties to be the basic for selection?

10.  I didn't say anything about Dato Seri Najib. I'm just making general statement. If anyone feels offended, it's their problem.

11.  Eventhough in my opinion that family ties shouldn't be the basic to accept or reject but I forbid my son from chasing to be member or position in UMNO, unless appointed by the leader not family.

PINGGAN BERTINTA PANTUN Pinggan bertinda pantun adalah penanda yang menandakan kepentingan rangkap catur larik dalam masyarakat Melayu pada masa dahulu. Bagi pengumpul barangan seramik dan barangan tembikar, nama Staffordshire mungkin sinonim dengan nana-nama seperti Wedgwood, Royal Doulton dan Royal Albert . Barangan berjenama ini merupakan pinggan mangkuk meja dan pinggan hiasan serta patung hiasan kecil yang menghiasi meja-meja dan dinding-dinding di kebanyakan runah di Malaysia. Bagaimanapun, hanya sedikit yang menyedari bahawa ada di antara pinggan-pinggan ini mula dibuat di Staffordshire , sebuah mukim di West Midlands di England bagi pasaran timur, ditulis dengan pantun Melayu dalam tulisan Jawi. Mungkin seawal tahun 1826, beberapa rangkap catur larik Melayu yang baik telah dipindahkan ke pinggan oleh para pengusaha sebelum dibawa belayar untuk pasaran di dunia Melayu. Kebanyakan pinggan bertinta pantun ini merupakan pinggan makan biasa dan ada juga mempunya

LESSONS FROM ANCIENT COMEDIES There is wisdom in these seemingly silly tales Picture this. A man mistakenly gives his newborn baby a bath in boiling hot water. The child's face, grimaced and distorted, reflects her agony. In the throes of death, she fails her hands about and dies in her father's arms. This is one of the most gruesome scenes in the popular Malay folk literature series of Pak Pandir.Pak Pandir, in absurd conclusion, looks at the baby's face and thinks she is laughing with glee. Mak Andeh comes home, to find her only daughter scalded to death. How this could be considered comedy is probably beyond the comprehension of the modern audiences of today. And yet, perhaps, this is the genius of the ancient comedies in delivering the simplest of messages. That sheer stupidity can cause great grief and untold personal loss. The unthinkable makes you think. Why such tales? Perhaps comedies are prevalent in all old fables as a means to share wisdom

Henry Gurney's Final Fight Gurney's funeral procession through the streets of Kuala Lumpur on Oct 8, 1951. The place is infested with mosquitoes and one glides to a halt on Siew Mah's sweat-soaked right forearm. Yet, the guerrilla commander of Pahang's 11th Regiment and close confidante of Chin Peng remains motionless at his ambush station. His eyes and mind are transfixed on the section of narrow twisting road further in front that forms an almost perfect S-shaped bend. Siew Mah moves his head slowly to check on the positions of the rest of his 38-member platoon. The movement startles the mosquito and it quickly flies away without having the chance to draw blood. From the corner of his eyes, the commander traces the tracks connected to his three Bren-gun firing positions. Satisfied, he turns to check the crucial withdrawal route where he and his men will dissolve back into the jungle once the act had been committed. The date is
