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 they received bribery from Najib

4.   Therefore, there won't be any motion of no confidence. Attempt were made made with identify 24 24 BN representatives who is not put self-interest, feels responsible, cares about nation willing to support this motion of no-confidence with representatives form opposition. This attempt failed because even though they realised about Najib's wrongdoing, due to self interest, scared of actions will taken as to Tans Sir Muhyiddin Yassin and to Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, scared to other kind of actions will be taken by Najib, no one is willing to sign confession to remove Najib. Therefore, vote of no confidence won't take palce.

5.   Forming a declaration demanding Najib's removal is not in Constitution and maybe not effective. Najib will not resign. But Malay Rulers are aware of peoples cries.

6.   At times when apposing Malayan Union, Malay Rulers was force by British to sign the agreement to give Malay States to them, rakyat rose and urged the Malay Rulers not to attend and recognize the appointment of Governor for Malayan Union. The Malay Rulers didn't attend and the British have to cancel the Malayan Union plan and establish Federation of Malaya in 1948

7.   Therefore, we can conclude that people voice has its own strength.

8.   That's why Citizen Declaration is important.

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...
