Another Tsunami?

The 13th GE will be any day now. Any day the PM decides to dissolve Parliament will be a good day.  There is confidence for BN.   

In the mainstream print media one can see infectious goodwill for BN. The voting public believes that BN will perform much better in this GE than the last.   

Still, every seat will be bitterly contested even though the opposition is in disarray.

However, this does not detract from the fact that there is a general perception that the BN has a more than even chance of regaining its 2/3 majority.   

This mostly is due to the PM's own very innovative government policies, his strategies at reaching out to the people, all of which has been so well received and which, of course is the bane and envy of Pakatan.

Pakatan is in mess now. They carry on their heads many controversial issues, all of which of their own doing and because of which they have become stymied and gasping for a remedy. It's like every time they open their mouths they put their foot into it. Blaming the BN for everything, accusing the BN of conspiracy all the time, is not working anymore. People are getting tired of listening to the same old story and seeing the same old show. In Pakatan ruled states especially, many are even taking to the streets, protesting and demanding answers.

The individual upon whom DAP and PAS hope could galvanize their so disparate political ideologies in order to challenge BN, is now proven an amoral person. So, except for the diminishing number of diehards, those harboring political ambitions by riding on his back and those who depend on him for their bread and butter, his flaws are so exposed. Like the king with no clothes on, everybody, excepting the members of his court, can see him doe what he truly is and they are averse to the sight.

All that is needed now is for BN to avoid the pitfalls of the last elections and put their shoulders together.

BN has all the criteria that the people want of a govt. The country needs able leaders who can deliver on their promises, who can ensure continued stability and progress for a future that is better and brighter for all. As a government, BN has a proven track record and a tradition of success that other countries seek to emulate.

Voters are now better informed and smart enough to separate the chaff that is Pakatan.  

A rather peculiar trait amongst Pakatan leaders is that they are never contrite for whatever folly they have caused as though they have carte blanche over everything. These are dubious characters and shouldn't be trusted let alone entrust to them the governance of this country.      

Insya'ALLAH. This time around, the tsunami will hit DAP, PAS and Keadilan.

The Aspiring PM

Many say this coming election is not going to be like all the previous others, that it will be harder fought, desperately and unscrupulously. All indications that it will be so are obvious for those who care to read the writing on the wall. This does not bode well for the country.   

The opposition has never felt so close to winning the Federal Government as they ever had. They will no doubt do their damndest not to let the chance slip through their fingers. It will be tooth and nails.  

Also, the one individual who is able to bring together the disparate opposition parties and who aspires to be PM, despite it all, knows that this will be his last throw of the dice. He will not get another chance. So, for the man who desperately needs to be PM, this coming elections will be a make it or break it mission. He will do his damndest.  

The elements for public disorder and the individual who is wont to sow it, without any qualms whatsoever as to the consequences has now come together. He will do his damndest to light the fuse.  

The catalyst for such public disorder is, firstly, a chauvinist Chinese party that poisons the minds of non Malays, especially the Chinese, by clanging the cymbals of deprivation, oppression and even declaring that they  are 2nd class citizens into their ears incessantly.

Then there is PAS. A bigotic, egocentric, Islamist party that divides and pits the Malay Muslims against each other by misrepresenting and abusing Islam. The effect is confusion, hatred and distrust amongst the Malays themselves. And finally there is PKR, a party led by a decadent individual who can't speak except with a forked tongue. Yet he is able to manipulate the other two political parties to serve his purpose.  

However, all is not well for them. Their masquerade is falling apart. The public is more and more seeing them for what they truly are and it is not a pretty picture. Nobody can lie to all of the people all of the time. They will fail and he will get his just desserts.

Jamalul Kiram III and the opposition

Suddenly, not all is well in The Land Below the Wind. And this just because a pretender to the Sulu Sultanate, a that has long been blown away and scattered by the sands of time has, through some warped understanding of history, decided to claim Sabah as his own. 

Hence, the armed incursion into Sabah by his deluded but fanatic followers. Declared terrorists by their own Philippine Govt. they are now nothing but hunted outlaws.

Through cowardly deceit and ambush, they inflicted fatalities among a number our security officers and men that has caused immense sorrow to the bereaved families. There is anger and some consternation too, among Malaysians in general and Sabahans in particular. But this attack on the territorial integrity of Sabah has united Malaysians in their declaration of support for our armed forces in the defense of the nation's sovereignty.   

For the people of Lahad Datu, Kunak, Semporna and it's vicinity, this is a time of tribulation. For them, life is no more what it used to be. Many have had to leave their homes and seek shelter elsewhere. Some even just barely managed to escape with their lives and the clothes on their back and some others have been severely traumatized by the experience.   

It will take some time for normalcy to return. However, things will never be the same again. Not for Malaysians in the affected areas nor for people from the Sulu Islands either. They will not be free to come and go as they please as they have been doing for ages to trade and visit relatives.   

This armed incursion has rubbed on the raw nerves of patriotic Malaysians. I say patriotic Malaysians because there are amongst us those who are less so and even those who are not. These few are not difficult to identify. They do not grieve for our fallen heroes, they bear many perceived grudges, and carry a huge chip on their shoulder wherever they trudge. Amongst them are also those who would change our Jalur Gemilang and the National Anthem. Pathetic indeed they are.

They are followers of a certain politician whose most distinct trait is his ability to change colour, like the chameleon, to beguile the audience he faces. This person is trouble with a capital T. He will try his utmost this coming elections to create discontent, street protests and riots.   

Let us all be wary of this morally corrupt and scandalous individual, what he stands for, all the lies he habitually makes and do what is best, discard him.

Pemimpin derhaka menggadai Agama, Maruah Bangsa dan Negara.

Hawa nafsu syahwat 
tamak haloba 
hasad dengki, jahat khianat
durjana.

Kerananya, hanyut 
dan alpa
hilang ihsan, kebenaran,
tenggelam ke dalam
lubuk keji, kegelapan.

Hawa nafsu durjana,
dituruti ibarat api 
tidak bertepi
jauh tersisih, menyisihkan,
terhijab dari yg hak
dan keikhlasan.

Mata tidak lagi melihat
telinga tidak lagi mendengar
fikiran tidak lagi berlandasan
hati kematu perasaan, mati.

Hilang kehalusan budi
tidak ada lagi malu.
Diri menjadi bongkak
angkuh, takabur.
Insaf dibawa arus
terbenam, tiada lagi
Memohon maaf jauh sekali,
tergadai maruah,
punah musnah segala
harga diri.

Kerana nafsu mereka jahat 
durjana, derhaka.

UN Secretary General's call to the Malaysian security forces and the Sulu terrorists.

It's alright for Mr Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the UN, to say whatever he likes from where he is. However, it certainly would do his office justice if he had looked at what happened in Lahad Datu, Sabah, according to the facts and chronology of events, so as to understand the events there in it's proper perspective. Making such calls as he did, is akin to shooting from the hip, is a slight on all Malaysians and a disservice to his post.

Ban Ki Moon should also know that both Governments, i.e Philippines and Malaysia have agreed that the Sulu intruders are terrorists and as such should be treated accordingly.  

The fact is, the Government of Malaysia negotiated with the armed intruders with patience over a period of three whole weeks. Immense restraint was observed on the part of the Malaysian Government and the negotiations was conducted in as amicable a manner as possible in order to resolve the matter without need for bloodshed.

Even so, in spite of Malaysia's restraint, good intentions and sincere effort at goodwill, Jamalul Kiram, against all good reason decided to attack Malaysia's security forces. They ambushed and killed 8 of Malaysia's security officers. Some of the bodies were later recovered severely mutilated.

The fact of the matter is that these undesirables intruded into Lahad Datu, Sabah, Malaysia illegally. They came clandestinely. They came bearing arms. They came dressed in camouflage fatigues. They came in enough numbers to cause alarm and fear to the peaceful people living in the area. They caused disruption to normal life. They tried to hold villagers to ransom.  They made ludicrous demands on the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Malaysia, an independent democratic nation.

The armed intruders foist on themselves the claim to represent the Sultanate of Sulu, a long ago defunct archipelagic kingdom. Their self styled leader, Jamalul Kiram 3 is a pretender to the Sultanate. He is not recognized by the legitimate heirs of the Sultanate, is incapacitated by renal failure and is surviving on Philippine Government welfare.

The fact is, the terrorists have caused unnecessary anxiety in Sabah and in the Philippines too. Filipinos working in Sabah, especially in the affected areas, are now unnecessarily anxious for their safety. Many are returning to the Philippines.

As a consequence Prime Minister Najib has declared a Special Security Area in order to allay the fears of the people of Sabah esp in Lahad Datu and it's vicinity. Many more army battalions and police personnel will now be stationed in the area in the SSA to safeguard the whole area.

The Prime Minister has declared that there will be no compromise on the issue of the Malaysia's territorial integrity and the safety of Malaysians.

The Prime Minister has stressed that they the intruders need to lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally. This is the only option for them. And it is still the best option.

Jamalul Kiram should be extradited to Malaysia where he will be charged accordingly and be given a fair trial. Insya'ALLAH this would put an end to his pretensions and stymie any other such ambition from any of his kind with similar urges.

Still, even more than Jamalul Kiram and the likes of him, the Government should be more wary now of politicians among the opposition leadership who wouldn't care to throw the country to the dogs just so that they get to assuage their selfish political ambitions.

Mr. Ban Ki Moon must realize that all Malaysian's are united in the resolve to defend the sovereignty of their country. For obvious reasons Mr. Ban Ki Moon ought to be more circumspect before making such calls in the future
