TAWAU

1.   On 5 October, I was in Tawau on invitation by a former candidate of an opposition party.

2. Many UMNO members in Sabah unable to attend the stateman's talk because it wasn't organised by UMNO. They said SUA UMNO will be very angry if any of its members or leaders attended this gathering.

3.   It's been 15 years since I went to Tawau and that's why I accepted the invitation eventhough it's from UMNO'S enemy. If I waited for UMNO's invitation, I won't be able to see Tawau forever.and I would like to see the changes in Tawau. I'm still an UMNO member and was an UMNO President for 22 years and now regarded as an enemy by the current leadership.

4.   Yes. I disagree with Dato Seri Najib, the UMNO President and I'm urging for him to be sacked. But, in the past, Tengku Razaleigh and Musa Hitam tried to bring me down. Their reason to compete against me and Ghaffar is I won't be able to be President and Prime Minister anymore. They intended to bring me down.

5.   I didn't forbid them from campaigning within UMNO members and UMNO members wasn't prohibited by me to attend their campaigns. UMNO branches invited them to officiate their Branch meetings and they campaigned during the function and some other times as well.

6.   Some Branches even nominated Tengku Razaleigh and Musa Hitam as President and Deputy President. I didn't consider them as my enemy which needs actions to be taken. There wasn't any restriction for nominating them because it's the democratic way. Presently, United States of America presidential candidates are busy campaigning everywhere because it's the democratic way.

7.   But now, the UMNO President not even officially challenged by anyone already won't let me meet with UMNO members and leaders. There are elements of threat in their order. Action will be taken, sacked from party, will be investigated. No future in the party. No longer be appointed as leader, won't be chosen as candidate.

8.   At the same time, whoever reprove the President is accused of as trying to sabotage, trying to undermine the democracy, overthrow the democraticcaly elected President. Those who made police report regarding the missing Goverment money is questioned and investigated and bankrupted. And arrested. When acquitted by the court, will rearessted under new law, Sosma, the so-called law for terrorist.

9.   Is the person who made the police report can be accused as terrorist.

10.  While calmouring democracy, the accused lawyer is also interrogated, wants to scare the lawyer too.

11.  All these action is to scare the people especially its UMNO members and its small time leaders. They knew something wrong is happening. But their mouth and ear are shut.

12.  The so-called press freedom supported by the govenment is blocked for reporting 1MDB crimes etc.   

13.  This nation image has changed from democracy to almost a police state where laws are being misuse to scare the people. Unable to mention any of Government and Prime Minister's wrongdoings. Public gatherings are blocked throught numerous ways, being accused as racist and the Government is encouraging racist demostration because Bersih rally that demamding Najib to step down is regarded being racist as an attempt by the Chinese to overthrow a Malay Government.

14.  The Government is accusing anyone who expose Najib's wrongdoing is an attempt to overthrow Government by undemocratic way.

15.  Actually, it's the Government that threating will take action against the people, forbidding UMNO members from listening to political speeches, the Government is no longer democratic. There isn't any democracy to bring down because it's already being ruined by the Government.

16.  Alhamdulillah, thousands of fearless Sabahans attended the gathering in Tawau

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...
