WHO IS RESPONSIBLE

1)   When an answer to a question posed by member of Parliment to Prime Minister or Minister and the answer provided was prepared by the officers, the relevant minister of the ministry is still responsible. He is the one who will take the blame in this situation. Eventhough in law, Parliment proceeding has immunity but if unrealiable answers about the truth is given and it still not true then it's no longer immune when the answer was published without objection for general view.

2)   The officers who prepared the answers is not immune. They are still responsible for the contents of the answers. If they are found to be preparing answers not based on reality, information and prove, they can be accused of trying to protect the minister by not telling the truth. In other words, the minister can still be accused of lying and the officers can be charged together.

 3)   The minister have more responsibility because he is required to check and determine the answers provided since the answers is under his name.

4)   The Prime Minister explained that USD 1 billion unable to bring back to Malaysia due to Bank Negara regulation to investigate the transactions exceed 50 million.

5)   To my knowledge, all the banks have been given directive to ask about any transaction above RM50,000. If it didn't involve in money laundering, that is, money obtained through illegal means, then, there is no problem.

6)   The question is, did the officers know that 1MDB was involved in money laundering and thats why the money from Cayman Islands have to be kept in Singapore.

7)   Singapore, too, very strict with money transaction to avoid money laundering crime. Didn't 1MDB know about Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) rules?

8)   Or, the real reason to lie about the money deposited in Singapore is actually there isn't any money deposited there, that, more than one billion US dollar has gone missing.

9)   If unable to prove the money is in Singapore, then, again, the officers and the miniser is quilty for lying.

10)  About Bank Negara refusal to provide information about reports by Singapore MAS, if it found to protect lies about 1MDB money that was said deposited in Singapore, then, they, too commited a crime under country's criminal law.

11)  Something is strange and wrong is when Government departments refuse to take action about allegations and police reports about the disappearance of 1MDB, a Government owned company money. On the contrary, the person who made police report was bankrupted, his house was confiscated and investigation was made on him on the basis that he was involved in sponsoring terrorism activity and money laundering.

12)  Reporters was arrested because they are quilty under Sedition Act and later was released because they didn't commit any wrongdoing.

13)  I, too, used to be searched by Inland Revenue Board when I owned a clinic. I have to pay extra tax because all my explaination was not accepted. I was told if I brought my case to court, there are chances that I will be fine three times more. Investigation on me was done on the basis that as a doctor, I'm rich and didn't pay full tax.

14)  Inland Revenue Board will normally investigate the government officers who live beyond their means. But when a Minister or certain individuals known to live luxury, no investigation are made. On the contrary, the person who made police report about that was investigated.

15)  It's really sad when there's bias in criminal investigation. Today, Malaysia is listed in top 10 most corrupt country.

16)  Malaysians are bound to same rules of law. There shouldn't be any bias or discrimination in imposing law.

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...

Bukan Sungai Mati ANEH TETAPI MENARIK : Sungai Mati, selain daripada namanya yang mengerikan, tempat ini hidup dan menyeronokan walaupun pembangunannya agak perlahan. Penulis tertarik dengan nama di pekan kecil ini yang berhampiran dengan Muar. Tersorok di pertengahan jalan utama antara Muar dan Bukit Gambir ialah sebuah pekan kecil bernama Sungai Mati. Pekan ini mudah ditemui kerana pusat bandarnya ialah tiga penjuru persimpangan jalan dengan dibarisi deretan kedai diperbuat daripada kayu. Terdapat lampu isyarat besar di persimpangan jalan tersebut yang memberi kesempatan kepada para pengguna jalan raya untuk melihat bagaimana masa tidak berlalu di bandar yang aneh tetapi menarik dalam daerah Muar. Beberapa tahun lalu, deretan kedai ini diberi nafas baharu apabila dicat dengan warna lavender, warna merah jambu dan warna biege. Penduduk di sini berkata tidak banyak perubahan berlaku di pekan ini kecuali beberapa kawasan perumahan baru dibina di pinggir perk...
