THANKS Part 2

18.  Those who wish to join UMNO must understand UMNO's history and objective. If they found the objective is different with their principle, it's better if they stay out of UMNO.

19.  If so, it doesn't mean that UMNO has froze, that, it's struggle is outdated, irrelevant.

20.  Basic struggle that gives Malays agree to share the country with other races doesn't need to change. UMNO's basic struggle to redeem Malays dignity doesn't need to change. Basic struggle for Malays to be same level with other races doesn't need to change.

21.  What needs to be change is the approaches to reach the objectives sooner and stronger.

22.  Western Liberalism that allows everything doesn't make Malays more noble and more successful. Actually, accepting everything from West proofs that Malays are lack of thinking. It's been 60 years of independence, is the Malays thinking is yet to be free, yet to be independent?.

23.  But, Malays have to be selective regardless of which means the good things came, whatever needs to reject, reject and whatever needs to accept, accept.

24.  Generally, Western culture that prioritize individual rights over peoples right need to reject.

25.  Leaders who tries to change UMNO's struggle needs to reprimand. If not, the struggle would be different from Malays basic struggle. Too many mistakes due to Malays culture that do not wish to stamp on leaders feeling. Then, it would be problem to handle the effect of these mistakes.

26.  UMNO members have to be smart to differentiate the approaches to make UMNO's struggle successful or approaches that will change UMNO's struggle.

27.  All these have to be understand by the future UMNO members and leaders. If they don't know and don't understand, if they think that UMNO is stepping stone for wealth and power, then it's better if they stay out of UMNO. Voice their views in this free and democratic country.

28.  Another problem will start here. Excuses such as don't know and don't understand, or wish to use UMNO as stepping stone will be used by current leaders to reject new members, especially the talented.

29.  Therefore, clearance must be done by a group who doesn't have any interest. Retiree and outsiders who sympathizes with UMNO's struggle must be given the task to go through membership.

30.  Once clarified, they must be accepted by UMNO and placed in suitable venue, where they stay or related. Treatment by branch and division to them must be supervised by special body.

31.  There shouldn't be dynasty in UMNO. Those who eligible and love UMNO have the right to be appointed to all positions. Family relations shouldn't be made as basic for selection or rejection.

32.  Perhaps it's not easy to do. But, must try to do it.

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
