DAP dan Sikap Pengundi Cina

Pada tinjauan rambang suasana politik yang saya lakukan bersama kawan-kawan di Negeri Sembilan baru-baru ini, rata-rata mengatakan DAP akan dapat mempertahankan kesemua 11 kerusi DUN mereka termasuk kerusi Parlimen Rasah. BN hanya berpeluang untuk menawan semula kerusi Parlimen Seremban. 

MCA dan GERAKAN masih tidak dapat memenangi keyakinan majoriti pengundi Cina. Ini dikatakan bukan kerana BN tidak melayan tuntutan kaum Cina tetapi kerana mereka sudah melihat apa yang boleh mereka lakukan apabila berkuasa.  

Di Pulau Pinang, di Perak walaupun sekejap sahaja dan walaupun MBnya Melayu dan begitu juga di Selangor, yang sebenarnya berkuasa adalah DAP.  PRU kali ini adalah peluang terbaik untuk mereka mendapatkan kuasa kerana orang Melayu dalam keadaan paling lemah dan berpecah. Saya khuatir rata-rata inilah sikap pengundi Cina di bandar, dan memang pun orang Cina majoritinya tinggal di bandar.

Saya juga khuatir kaum Cina merasakan jika keadaan politik kekal status quo, yakni, seperti sekarang ini, mereka tidak akan kerugian apa-apa. Kerajaan kini mendahulukan rakyat, tuntutan kaum Cina akan diberi perhatian dan mereka terus menerima bermacam-macam habuan dan bantuan seperti yang dijanjikan Kerajaan BN yang menepati janji.   

Selain daripada itu, ekonomi negara terus berkembang pesat, walaupun dalam keadaan ekonomi dunia yang tidak berapa menentu. Pengusaha, pekedai, pemaju, pengilang, pemborong, peruncit semuanya dapat mengaut keuntungan.   

Kestabilan politik dan keselamatan negara juga masih terpelihara, rakyat terus menikmati keamanan dan kemakmuran. Jadi apa perlunya mereka mengubah keadaan ini dan memberi lebih undi kepada BN?       

Pepatah Inggeris ada mengatakan, 'You can't have the cake and eat it as well.' Tetapi dalam keadaan seperti sekarang, kaum Cina 'can have the cake and eat it.'     

Mereka mungkin merasakan apabila BN hanya memperolehi slim majoriti di Parlimen, Kerajaan memberi lebih perhatian kepada kaum mereka. Jadi apa perlunya memberi lebih undi kepada BN?   

Walaubagaimanapun, saya berpendapat pengundi Cina tidak akan mahu BN kalah dalam PRU 13 nanti kerana itu akan mengakibatkan kestabilan politik dan ekonomi negara serta keharmonian kaum menjadi tidak menentu dan ini akan merugikan perniagaan mereka. Tetapi kalau lebih baik untuk mereka jika BN menang dengan simple majoriti, tidak perlulah lagi BN diberi kemenangan dengan majoriti 2/3. 

Sikap pengundi Cina susah hendak dibaca. Yang pasti mereka bersatu hati dalam semua perkara yang melibatkan kepentingan kaum mereka. Yang pasti mereka  pandai menghargai undi. Oleh itu sudah pasti mereka tentu tidak akan mensia-siakan peluang yang terbaik pd PRU13 untuk mencorakkan politik negara bagi membawa untung kepada kaum mereka.     

The Three Stooges and the word Allah

It's finally done. The 3 stooges have made up their minds to throw all caution to the wind and stoke religious sentiment. I say stooges because all of them have no qualms about disparaging the country in front of foreign audiences at every opportunity.  

These 3 stooges Anwar, Hadi and Kit Siang, putting on a show a of solidarity in front of the media, agreed among themselves for the name ALLAH to be used in the Bahasa Malaysia Bible. Thus they openly challenge the Sultans who is Head of Islam in all States of the Federation and seek to provoke the majority of moderate Muslims in this country.   

Of the 3, Kit Siang, Abdul Hadi and Anwar,maybe only Hadi can be regarded a Muslim scholar of some standing. Even so, that is now severely challenged as he has relegated Islam to nothing more than a political tool. Also his Amanat Hj. Hadi has caused untold damage to Muslim society especially in the East of Peninsular Malaysia.  

Anwar on the other hand, however much he may wish to be regarded as an Islamic scholar just wouldn't cut it. He hasn't an iota of credibility because he has lied too often and his numerous sex scandals is well known far and wide.  

As for Kit Siang, he has no love for Islam. He was present at the press conference merely to see that the other two stooges commit themselves to his will and forsake all for the sake of votes from amongst chauvinist Chinese.  

The 3 of them, all insincere to each other, standing together as though in solidarity in order to fool the public, indeed performed a most shameful act. The truth is they fooled themselves more than anyone else. More than that it was a premeditated act meant to raise the ire of moderate Muslims, the majority, to respond or retaliate in a manner that suits their design and so give them their wish ie public disorder.  

Leaders of the opposition all, are becoming more desperate by the day. Yet at the same time, they have become arrogant and domineering. All of them are, without exception, unreasonable and hard to deal with including Nik Aziz. These are people with tremendously huge egos. They will never admit to a mistake and they will never say sorry.  

Now I wish to ask the Christian clergy in this country. Would the bible become inadequate without the word ALLAH? Why adamantly insist on the word ALLAH when the word Tuhan more aptly describes the Father, Son and Holy Ghost the Christian God in the bible. 

Christian Youth and Missionary have been proselytising among the orang asli, destitute and impressionable Muslims for a long time now. Is this the reason? There is no denying this. I have had my own personal encounter with 3 of them, all claiming to come from Singapore some years back.

Do the Christians in the Peninsular, the majority of whom are Chinese, have no regard for the Federal Constitution, for the King and their Royal Highnesses the Sultans, no regard for goodwill and harmony as citizens? Have Christians not been free to practice their religion any way they wish. Are u oppressed in any way?  

Lets not be bigots and start throwing spanners. Lets instead cherish the freedom v have and everyday count the blessings bestowed on us by God. Amen.    

Anwar terjerut leher sendiri

Dikatakan Anwar Ibrahim akan mengadakan satu lagi perhimpunan, tetapi kali ini untuk menghalang Shamsidar Taharin isteri Azmin Ali daripada menjadi saksi dalam kes samannya  terhadap Senator Datuk S.Nallakaruppan

Rakyat umumnya sudah masak dengan kerenah Anwar menghasut rakyat untuk berarak di jalan raya dan mengambil kesempatan daripada itu untuk mengapi api dan membangkitkan kebencian terhadap kerajaan, menghina institusi-institusi kehakiman dan pihak yang menjaga ketenteraman awam seperti polis.

Kali ini, rakyat akan diperbodohkan sekali lagi dengan mengheret mereka untuk berdemonstrasi bagi membantah Shamsidar Taharin daripada menjadi saksi dalam kes saman yang dibuat oleh Anwar sendiri. Kita masih ingat demonstrasi terakhir yang kononnya untuk menuntut Pilihan Raya yang lebih Bersih iaitu Bersih 1 dan 2. Tuntutan itu walaupun tidak berasas bolehlah juga diterima akal, tetapi kali ini, berdemonstrasi untuk menuntut supaya Shamsidar Taharin tidak menjadi saksi, adalah perbuatan yang sangat ‘bizzare’. Dan kalau masih ada juga pihak-pihak yang sanggup berarak bagi tujuan yang tidak munasabah ini perkataan Inggeris yang sesuai bagi puak-puak ini ialah ‘Assinine’.

Sudah jelas lagi nyata bahawa Anwar Ibrahim akan sedaya upayanya memperdayakan rakyat untuk menyelamatkan dirinya dan jika masih ada lagi mereka yang tidak sedar bahawa perjuangan politik Anwar adalah semata mata untuk mencapai cita-cita sempit peribadinya yang tamakkan kuasa, maka eloklah cari masjid-masjid lama yang masih menggunakan air kolah dan mandilah di situ. Ada orang kata dengan berbuat demikian boleh membersihkan diri daripada kekotoran dalaman dan menyelamatkan diri daripada ditimpa perkara-perkara yang tidak diingini.

Selama ini, kita tahu Anwar memang hebat dengan ugutan-ugutan dan tindakan-tindakan samannya terhadap sesiapa sahaja yang dia suka sehinggakan seperti kata Tun Mahathir ramai yang tidak berani bersuara atau membuat kenyataan kerana takut kena saman beratus-ratus juta ringgit. Nampaknya dengan Datuk S.Nallakaruppan, Anwar telah tersilap langkah kerana Datuk S.Nallakaruppan bukannya calang-calang orang.  Beliau dahulu pernah menjadi sahabat karib Anwar dan selama lebih daripada 30 tahun perhubungan mereka tentu sahaja banyak pekong Anwar berada dalam pengetahuannya.

Saman punya saman, terlalu ghairah menyaman kiri dan kanan, saman kali ini nampaknya menjerut leher Anwar sendiri. Dimanakah Datin Seri Azizah isteri Anwar yang sejati. Sudah agak lama langsung tidak bersuara. Mungkin insan ini sudah tidak berupaya lagi untuk menegakkan benang yang basah dan hampir reput pula.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all Malaysians. May the year 2013 usher in more joy, more prosperity and better health for all and sundry.

If I may, sometime during the first quarter of the year will come a time of reckoning for the country when voters go to the polls to decide on their future. I would sincerely urge for us all to be rational and not let our emotions rule our heads.

The truth is there exists so much goodwill amongst the various races that attempts to sow discord have failed. Foreign visitors often express surprise and marvel at our harmony whilst many governments wish to emulate us.

Except for one disruptive episode that threatened our democracy our country has continued to enjoy freedom garlanded with responsibility. Thus the country has experienced continuous economic growth and political stability. Even during the worst of times we have never experienced massive lay offs that blighted even the most developed of countries.  

Our current unemployment rate is very low despite the bad state of the world economy. Despite world economic recession, all essential items, i.e. goods that have a direct bearing on the quality of life of the people are still subsidized, foremost of which is petrol and petroleum products which alone costs the governments many billions of ringgit annually.  

Education is almost free from Pre School to university. Our literacy rate is amongst the highest according to UNESCO standard i.e. more than 93% of the population and that was a few years back.  

Workers from neighboring and far off countries still make a beeline to look for work here because they can make good money and feel safe.  Our living and working environment is good and we feel reasonably safe in our homes. No part of the country is unsafe to travel to and you can stop to talk to anyone you like with ease and feel welcome. We enjoy and celebrate each others festivities openly and often more food is prepared than can be consumed. Malaysians are a generous people and live in a land of plenty.

These are only some of the many blessings Malaysians don't even notice but is coveted by many other peoples in other countries. There are more than 1001 other blessings but that would be too much to enumerate.  

We are a very fortunate people. Let’s not be ungrateful but thank God for all these blessings. As we make new resolutions let us all also resolve when we cast our votes to ensure continued unity and harmony, political stability and economic growth for the sake of a better future for all Malaysians. God Bless.

Lim Guan Eng and religious discord

Mr Lim Guan Eng Sec. Gen. Of the DAP, lately has insisted that the word Allah be allowed in the Bible. He is no ignoramus. He knows very well the consequences of this unreasonable request.

With all consciousness and purposely too he batters Islamic Acts passed in the states and offends their Highnesses. He is fully aware how Muslims must feel about the matter and how they would react but pays it no heed.

He may wish to be regarded as a Champion for the Christians by again raising this forbidden issue. Else he seeks to be deemed a sensational champion by delving into this inadmissible matter yet again.  

There certainly is no need for him to insist that the word God in the Bible be changed to Allah. Christians do not feel that they are prevented in any way from practicing their religion or deprived of any aspect of their religion by not having the word Allah in the Bible.  

God in the Bible means three in one or vice versa, while the Quran categorically states that Allah has no associates. Allah is the complete contrary to the God of the Bible. Allah is One, Singular, Supreme. He does not beget nor is He begotten. He does not expire as did Christ on the cross. He is everlasting, has no beginning and no end. God in the Bible and Allah in the Quran are two distinct and different beings.  

I say Lim Guan Eng, in again raising this issue has ulterior motives. Past and present experience tells us the DAP is not sincere in wanting racial unity. The DAP sows and thrives on discord. They do not learn from History and even deny that that they caused the May 13 1969 riots. In this they do behave like ostriches, burying their heads in the sand whenever it suits them.

Lim Guan Eng sees Najib's 1Malaysia rallying the people together and no doubt feels he needs to put a spanner into it because it is the DAP's loss, so now when Muslims react as predicted by taking to the streets demonstrating, he will say that Malaysians are not united after all.He would be happy to portray to Christians in other countries, who don't know better, that Muslims here are not unlike Muslims anywhere else, unreasonable and intolerant.  

I say characters like Lim Guan Eng, who has no qualms about using religion to sow ill will and animosity among citizens of multi-religious Malaysia has no place in this country.

Thoughts on the 13th General Election.

It’s my humble opinion that all indications are favoring the BN in the next polls. In this, much credit is due to the PM, his initiatives and tireless effort.

The general public is now more supportive of government policies and fence sitters are becoming convinced that they should not trust the opposition and this for two main reasons. Firstly, that they eat their own words and secondly that unity among them is a charade because they distrust each other like never before.

This coming general elections will bring out the worst in them. It will be a do or die thing because they have never before so close to grasping the federal government. Maybe we will see some desperate acts.

PKR, as it is wont, will try to beguile voters by exploiting human rights to curry favor from foreign parties / sponsors. Thus they will campaign for pluralism and LGBT rights, however foreign it might be to our society. They will continue to spread lies about the PM, his wife and slender the government till their throats becomes sore.

PAS, an extremist party will abuse Islam for whatever little political gain might accrue to them. UMNO and its supporters will continue to be labeled kafirs, murtad and mungkar. More than that, they have conducted mass prayers harshly urging God to bring down destruction upon UMNO and the BN government.

As for DAP, its true colors has finally surfaced. It has exposed itself as a truly racist party, demarcating itself among racial lines. The public is more than ever aware now that its members are without exception Chinese chauvinists. Lim Kit Siang’s Malaysian Malaysia call all these while is nothing more than an attempt to hoodwink reasonable and rational Chinese into forsaking MCA and leaving the BN.

For the BN, however, there is confidence in the air and it’s almost tangible. It’s a good feeling I might add. All the more reason for BN to be extra careful lest it be misconstrued for arrogance.

BN could win 2/3 majority if it really wants to, InsyaAllah, so long as there are no serious glitches within the government or party between now and the elections.  

Opposition website is another matter though. However they are saturated with lies and inconsistencies. Only the diehard supporter would continue to believe them. Still, Chinese voters are rather unpredictable and cold be swayed to vote for the opposition if the DAP again decides to play the racial card and it’s not checked.

The DAP is also very adept at creating a sense of deprivation among the Chinese vis a vie the Malays and thus instigate them. The opposition will resort to these and other more reprehensible tactics for obvious reasons and ardently too.

The authorities will be in a conundrum then. Taking action will result in being accused of being hard handed, denying the opposition their democratic rights and of being unjust. This would be the trump card needed to rally their supporters, get onto their streets and cause mayhem. 

Not taking action, the more likely scenario knowing Hishamuddin, would mean allowing the opposition to raise hatred against UMNO and PERKASA. Should any one of the two then decide to reciprocate there is no telling what would ensue. The possible result is a disruption of public order. Anyone who has had dealings with Anwar knows he has a penchant for forementing it.

Any kind of trouble during or after the elections would mean a field day for the opposition and the foreign media who have proven time and time again to be biased for the oppositions.

If disenchantment towards the government spreads to become popular unrest, it will present Anwar the Arab Spring which he so covets, then he would have his harvest which he would gleefully reap. God forbid.

The Inevitable

So the Dooms Day as predicted by the Mayan Calendar has come and gone and yet life continues as it is. The earth and all other celestial forms up on high have not perished.  

Many must have waited with apprehension and trepidation for the coming of the hour as so foretold. There were some who even went to the extent of being ludicrous in their preparation to escape the calamity. How inane people can be.  There have been other predictions before by various soothsayers. The pages of history will tell. People have been cowed into following them with the hope that their souls might be saved from perdition.  

Cults have been established too, by charlatans, that ended with terribly disastrous consequences for it's members.  

There will surely be many other Dooms Day predictions to come but just as with all the previous ones it will be false.  

Good Muslims have never believed in such predictions. This is because it has already been clearly stated in the Quran that knowledge of the Hour belongs only to ALLAH, the All Knowing and no one else, without exception. Not even the angels and the prophets of God know of it's coming. It is also stated in Al Quran that Dooms Day when it comes, will come all of a sudden, like the blink of an eye.   

"O’ Muhammad. They ask u about the Hour of Doom and when will it take place. Say: Knowledge about it only rests with my Rabb. No one can disclose it's proper time except Him. Heavy is it's weight in the heavens and the earth. It will not come gradually but all of a sudden. They ask you as if you yourself were in search of it.

Tell them: The knowledge about it rests only with ALLAH though most people do not understand." (Al Quran 7:182-188 )  Good Muslims do not fear it's coming because it has been foretold in the Quran and that it is inevitable. Also, all Muslims believe that they will meet their Maker on the Day of Judgment to account for their deeds in this transient life. There is no escaping this.          

Anyone in search of the eternal truth and knowledge must read the Quran for it has been clearly written down for all discerning people.

The end of existence, of all creation, will surely arrive. Nothing that exists can escape it. Not even if man can reach the furthest reaches of the universe because when the Time comes the universe will collapse upon itself. Good Muslims do not fear it's coming because they will be protected from the horror of the Calamity. There will be another life. This next life is by far much better, beyond description and eternal.
