KAUM CHULIA DI PULAU PINANG Potret Tamil Muslim dipetik daripada sekeping fota dan dihasilkan semula dalam surat berita The Societe des Missions Etrangeres de Paris. Ihsan daripada Yeoh Seng Guan Kaum ini memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk landskap budaya, ekonomi dan politik kita. Pada tahun 1970-an dan 8o-an, Clock Tower di Pulau Pinang jelas kelihatan dari dalam feri Butterworth-Penang. Tidak terasa perasaan kegembiraan apabila berkunjung ke pulau ini sebaliknya ia mengingatkan rutin mingguan yang membosankan bagi kebanyakkan kanak-kanak dari utara. Tempat pertama akan disinggah ialah di salah sebuah bank luar negara di Beach Street kerana tiada bank di tanah semenanjung utara. Kemudian, mungkin akan singgah di pengurup wang atau farmasi. Makan tengahari akan dijamah di restoran Dawood atau di kedai nasi kandar di Queen Street diikuti dengan membeli sari di Market Street . Jika masih ada wang baki, akan menjadi kemestian untuk singgah di kedai emas d...

FRAUDS IN 1MDB 1.   Finally, all the frauds reported in printed and electronic media are true as admitted by President and 1MDB Executive Director, Arul Kanda Kandasamy. 2.   Arul admitted 1MDB's failure to pay USD 1 billion (RM3.9 bilion) to IPIC (International Petroleum Investment Company - Abu Dhabi) the company that guarantees 1MDB's loan. 3.   According to IPIC, the company's name as Aabar PJS Ltd (British Virgins Islands) that received money from 1MDB is not owned by them even though IPIC have a company with almost similar name, that is, Aabar PJS Ltd. 4.   If 1MDB paid USD 1 billion to a bogus company, there are chances that the company was established with 1MDB knowledge and the money goes into the private account. This is what been thought by everybody all this time and this statement from Arul confirms that. 5.   Arul will try to reverse what he had confessed. It's better for Arul to tell everything, about the sacked auditor, USD 1...

DECLARATION OF THE PEOPLE 1.   I was among the first forty people signed Declaration of the People that urged Dato' Sri Najib from being the Prime Minister of Malaysia. 2.   I signed this declaration because all legal avenues to stop him from being a Prime Minister have been closed by him. 3.   Firstly, UMNO is no longer organised as democratic party that gave rights to its members and leaders to choose a leader.  Previously, leader can be reprimand, challenged and contested. Members are free to vote their favorite candidate. Now, this right has been stopped by Najib. Anyone who reprimand him will be stripped of position and revoke his membership and pressured with all kinds of pressure. 4.   Clearly there isn't any hope or chance for UMNO to change its leader and stop Najib's wrongdoings. 5.   The people has  also lost their right to lodge report about Najib's wrongdoing. They will be questioned, arrested, detained and charge...

MENTERI LUAR ARAB SAUDI 1.   Apakah sebenarnya yang dikatakan oleh Menteri Luar Adel al-Jubeir? Rakaman video yang menunjukkan beliau sedang menjawab soalan yang ditanya oleh wartawan Malaysia boleh dilihat oleh seluruh dunia. Berikut adalah transkrip rakaman "Tuan Yang Terutama" kata wartawan, "adakah tuan sedar mengenai latar belakang dan perincian mengenai isu derma kepada Perdana Menteri Malaysia?" 2.   Sekiranya penyokong Najib gagal untuk menyedari bahawa soalan yang ditanya adalah En Jubeir menyedari mengenai latar belakang dan perincian mengenai derma. Maka, Menteri Luar Arab Saudi menjawab, "Kami menyedari mengenai derma tersebut dan ia adalah derma jujur tanpa mengharapkan pembalasan." 3.   Dan beliau, "menyedari Peguam Negara Malaysia telah menyiasat secara menyeluruh dan tidak mendapati sebarang salah laku (dan) setakat ini (bagi beliau) perkara ini telah selesai. 4.   Menyedari mengenai kenyataan PN tidak bermakna belia...

NASIHAT NAJIB "Perhimpunan jalanan bukan caranya. Jangan guna demonstrasi dan kempen tandatangan, desak PM". 1.   Saya berterima kasih kepada PM diatas pelbagai mutiara kata yang diberikan kepada rakyat. 2.   Betul, kita semua harus elak perhimpunan dan kempen tandatangan. 3.   Jadi, apakah harus kita lakukan? Sudah tentu, kita laporkan kepada pihak polis. 4.   Kemudian, pihak polis akan memanggil anda (dan peguam anda) untuk disoal siasat, menahan anda berdua dan mendakwa anda di bawah akta SOSMA ( Security Offences Special Measures Act) kerana keganasan. 5.   Mengenai laporan polis yang dibuat oleh anda, PN akan menolaknya kerana beliau bertindak bukan sahaja sebagai pendakwa malah sebagai hakim juga. Beliau boleh mendakwa anda di bawah Akta Rahsia Rasmi kerana membocorkan rahsia. Anda akan didapati bersalah dan jika mengikut cara beliau, anda akan dijatuhkan hukuman seumur hidup. 6.   Seingat saya Akta Rahsia Rasmi digunakan ...

WHY DECLARATION AND NOT NO CONFIDENCE VOTE 1.  In a democratic country the way to change a Government or a Prime Minister it through table a motion no confidence in Parliment. 2.   In Malaysia, PM can be removed in any ways if able to prove that the PM doesn't have majority support of Representatives even though there isn't any motion about it. This means majority Representatives (Government and Opposition) present a confession in form of written, signed and witnessed that they no longer trust Najib, then Yang diPertuan Agong can removed Najib. It's same as what Najib did to Perak in 2009 and to Kedah, recently. 3.  But, as we all know BN Representatives that forms majority members in Parliment has tied themselves to Najib and won't sign any declaration that didn't support him. Shahrir Samad and Ahmad Maslan admitted with statement issued by Dato' Nazir, Najib's brother that he received USD 7 million to be distributed to BN leaders shows that th...

UMRAH 1.   Last week I was at Saudi Arabia. So many Muslims performing umrah. It's like they're performing Haj. They came in throngs. Among them are many Malay Malaysians. 2.   Umrah is one of circumcision in Islam. I understand that circumcision is we get reward if we do them and it's not wrong if we didn't do them. 3.   I asked myself, if the money used to perform umrah came from illegal means, for example, if used stolen money, is the umrah valid and rewarded? 4.   I'm just asking. It's because hundreds of them performing umrah are sponsored by certain people where their source of income still in question.

BETWEEN EVIDENCE AND CONFESSION 1.   Najib claimed that all the allegations against at him are not true. Main stream media reported his stooges also claimed that all the allegations made by foreign media such as Wall Street Journal, ABC TV Australia, Financial Times, many famous newspapers in America (Please see the list of media, paper and TV attached, 53 in total with list of name of countries and their investigation agencies), all of them wants to demean Najb's image. As though, all of them have nothing else to do other than demean Najib's image with long TV reports and articles coupled with pictures and documents. All the evidences provided are unacceptable, said his stooges. Najib's denial is the one to accept. Najib's denial is not provided with clear evidence. It's alright. His denial is enough for the AG to claim that there isn't any case to be charge Najib in court. 2.   Due to Najib's denial, Division leaders and all members in House of Rep...

NAJIB DIBUKTIKAN BENAR 1.   Menurut laporan suratkhabar, siaran ABC telahmengesahkan dana yang diterima hadiah yang boleh digunakan mengikut keperluan oleh PM. 2.   In berita baik. Sekarang TV milik Kerajaan harus menyiarkan berita ABC agar rakyat mempercayai kebenaran Najib. 3.   Akan tetapi, jangan siarkan sebahagian konteks. Siarkan keseluruhan siaran ABC untuk membukitkan kebenaran Najib. Barulah rakyat akan nerasa yakin. Bersikap jujur dan buktikan bahawa Najib hanya berkata benar, semuanya benar belaka dan tiada lain kecuali benar. 4.   Bagi membuktikan beliau berkata benar, tubuhkan satu suruhanjaya yang adil untuk menggantikan pasukan petugas yang telah dilemahkan dan siasat dari sudut manakah siasatan mengenai wang derma telah dihentikan oleh pasukan petugas terdahulu. 5.   Menggunakan kenyataan daripada ahli politik, terutama yang tidak berwibawa tidak dapat menyakinkan rakyat. 6.   Kita perlukan penulis surat t...
