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

Malaysia is a Phenomenon.



The Aussie Senator Xenopon came and very quickly was shown the gate out. Maybe there are others like him, but of a lesser pedigree, who are already here unnoticed.

Xenopon was denied entry for poking his smelly nose where it was not wanted. He has a penchant for instigating disharmony between the races in Malaysia, considered an undesirable and because he is a foreigner, could very easily be asked to leave.  

There are amongst us Malaysians a few undesirables too, who aim to cause much more trouble between the races than Xenopon ever could. Under the guise of freedom of speech, and democracy these few prance about on the platform of politics to instigate, in order to raise suspicion, ill will and hatred btw the races.  

However, with these sorts of undesirables, there is nothing much the authorities can do. They are citizens. They cannot be shown the exit gate out of the country. Together with them are certain so called NGO's who aim to further their cause, to do damage to the existing good inter racial relations in order to benefit their own myopic and selfish motives. 

Malaysia is hailed amongst the international community for the fact that though the population is so racially and ethnically diverse, with each practicing their own religion, beliefs, customs and traditions, the country has been free from racial or inter ethnic strife for generations.  

People from other nations have come here in droves to witness for themselves this miracle, to bask in its warmth. Many more have come here unaware of this miracle and are pleasantly surprised.  

Leaders of many countries have made official visits to Malaysia, to see and experience for themselves the vibes of harmony and unity and to wonder and learn of its secrets so as to emulate it back home. 

We have done ourselves proud. Now, shouldn't we all, good Malaysians unreservedly, and with our utmost ability safeguard this marvel from those who seek to harm it?     

Still there are others who consider Malaysia a conundrum for the fact that many less racially divided populations are not doing quite as well to say the least. And that by way of precedence and experience Malaysia should be torn apart by racial discord and civil strife. Some even have the gall to say that Malaysia is a powder keg waiting to explode. Let them eat their own words and forever despair. Malaysians have proven time and time again, that challenges will only unite them and unite them all the more.    

As in the Constitution, Islam is the religion of the Federation. But unlike many other Muslim countries, Malaysia is not bogged down by the stigma that they are associated with. Malaysia alone, among the many, can stand firmly on the pedestal as the exception, an island of tranquility amidst storms. This is a phenomenon that many are wondering about.  

This 13th General Election will test our resolve again. There will be immense pressure to tear and pull us apart, to stampede on our sentiments and put blinkers on our eyes. We won't let them. They will fail. Insya'ALLAH. 

My youngest child is now in Form 1 in Convent Bukit Nanas (CBN). Recently she competed in her schools Choral Speaking event and it was my pleasure to audition her at home. The script is her own with help from the internet of course. I would like to share
with you what she committed to memory titled:  One Malaysia  

In thunder and lightening 
here we come. 
Ladies and Gentlemen, 
We the children of today 
present to you,  
One Malaysia. 
Malaysia is a multiracial country. 
A country that belongs to all             
Malaysians. 
With a shared history
and a belief in a shared future. 
U N I T Y - unity, 
only a five letter word, 
yet the foundation of 
multi racial Malaysia, 
a cultural melting pot. 
Udah makai nuan?  
Wa jiak pah liaw? 
A unique heritage of different          
races. 
Selamat Hari Raya. 
Gong Xi Fa Cai. 
Gayu Curu Gerai Nyamai. 
Diwali Vartikah. 
A blend unlike any in the world. 
We even have baju kurung, 
Cheongsam, Sari and many more. 
There are many Malaysians who have        
made us proud. 
Datuk' Jimmy Choo, the cheapest
pair cost at least RM3000. 
Datuk Bernard Chandran, the   
Fashion designer extrodinaire, 
Datuk Siti Norhaliza, the talented songbird, Datuk Michelle Yeoh the   Bond Girl. 
Malaysians love their food. 
The menu for breakfast lunch and            
dinner will be as varied as it's people. 
Popiah, char kuey tiaw, roti canai,   nasi lemak and teh
tarik. 
Next we have the beautiful places from the deep blue seas to tall
mountains. 
Malaysia is truly Asia.   

My daughter lost to a Form 2 competitor. 
But what does it matter. As a parent I say kudos to CBN and such like schools. We are parents must strive all we can to ensure our young ones a future much better than ours, insya’ALLAH.

Lim Guan Eng dan Kalimah ALLAH


Saya sudah memperkatakan mengenai Lim Guan Eng dan kalimah ALLAH sebelum ini. Tetapi selain daripada itu, orang Islam diperintah ALLAH S.W.T untuk menunaikan solat 5 waktu dalam sehari, setiap hari, sehingga akhir hayatnya.

Pada permulaan solat, iaitu selepas seruan Azan atau Iqamat, sembahyang dimulakan dengan ucapan Takbiratul Ihram dan bacaan doa Iftitah. Saya petik sebahagian daripadanya yang bermaksud;

Sesungguhnya sembahyang ku, ibadat ku, hidup ku dan mati ku adalah untuk ALLAH Tuhan yang memelihara sekalian alam.

Tiada yang menyekutui bagiNya dan dengan itulah aku diperintah ALLAH dan adalah aku aku dari golongan orang-orang Islam.

Jadi dengan maksud itu, yang dilafazkan dan diperakui oleh setiap orang Islam pada waktu subuh, selepas waktu tgh hari, pada waktu petang, senja dan apabila malam tiba, permintaan Lim Guan Eng adalah permintaan yang tidak akan diizinkan oleh orang Islam. 

Permintaan Lim Guan Eng supaya orang Islam membenarkan kalimah ALLAH di gunakan dalam Bible adalah sama seperti meminta kebenaran daripada orang Islam untuk menyekutui ALLAH. Mnyekutui ALLAH adalah perbuatan syirik, dosa yang tidak diampunkan ALLAH. Orang Islam tidak akan membenarkannya.

Tidak ada sesiapa apa-apa yang dijadikan, makhluk yang hidup atau sudah mati atau apa-apapun, yang menyerupaiNYA. Kalimah ALLAH itu sendiri adalah singular tidak boleh dijadikan plural. Mana boleh disebut ALLAHs. Tidak pernah disebut begitu. Sangat janggal bunyinya dan tidak pernah dilakukan manusia. Namun seperti diketahui umum, lain halnya dengan God atau Lord kerana bagi perkataan-perkataan itu ada pluralnya iaitu Gods dan Lords. Father jadi Fathers, Son jadi Sons, ghost jadi ghost dan spirit jadi spirits. Begitulah halnya dengan yang selain daripada ALLAH.

Kita janganlah keliru atau dikelirukan oleh Anwar Ibrahim dan sekutu sekutunya lagi. Anwar Ibrahim akan setuju dengan apa sahaja untuk meraih undi dan mendapat simpati pihak-pihak tertentu. Dia setuju dengan plurisme agama dan juga menyokong LGBT. Di dalam Al-Quran ALLAH ada berfirman mengenai umat-umat yang menerima azab dan dibinasakan. Umat Nabi Lut  atau the Prophet Lot dalam Bahasa Inggerisnya dan Sodom and Gomorrah telah dibinasakan ALLAH. Al-Quran itu adalah peringatan dan pengajaran kepada umat manusia yang berakal dan beriman.

Kita tidak boleh ikut cara barat seperti England, France dan selainya yang membenarkan segalanya atas dasar kebebasan dan hak asasi manusia. Tamadun
Barat semakin tidak berpedoman. Agama Christian mereka sudah dianggap
kuno dan tidak sesuai untuk dianuti mereka. Perbuatan dan perkara yang dilarang dalam Bible sekarang dibolehkan. Bible sudah tidak lagi dijadikan panduan.  Akidah Umat Islam akan rosak binasa jika menuruti perlakuan mereka. Hindarkanlah diri kita daripada kemurkaan ALLAH, daripada perbuatan mungkar yang akan membawa bala bencana kepada kita semua.  

Orang-orang Islam yang setuju dengan permintaan Lim Guan Eng dan DAP dan Anwar Ibrahim dan PKR supaya kalimah ALLAH dibenarkan dalam Bible melakukan syirik dan boleh jatuh murtad. 

Kita mesti sentiasa berwaspada terhadap anasir-anasir jahat seperti Lim Guan Eng dan DAP yang memang gemar memainkan isu-isu perkauman dan agama untuk mengapi-apikan rakyat supaya curiga mencurigai. Isu-isu seperti ini jika tidak dibendung oleh pihak yang berwajib boleh membawa padah buruk kepada keharmonian masyarakat majmuk negara ini.

Perbuatan Lim Guan Eng dalam isu kalimah ALLAH ini bolehlah diibaratkan sebagai usaha subsersif yang bertujuan untuk menimbulkan keadaan tidak tenteram dalam negara.

Orang Islam, janganlah kerana tamak kepada dunia, kuasa dan jawatan, sanggup memusnahkan akidah dan menjual agama. Biarlah waras dalam berpolitik. 

Kepada PAS, cukup cukuplah.
