My dear late brother, in 1964 , 205375 Trooper Purshotma Dass of C Squadron 2nd Reconnaissance Regiment who answered the call when his relations were trying to "Ganyang" Malaysia - The Indonesian Confrontation

Lim Kit Siang

I’ve previously blogged about the winners of valour awards, not including those who had laid down their lives, are maimed, and not forgetting the non-Malay police officers.

I guess when the Chinese and Indians were bleeding and dying for this country, Zahid might just have been a dirty glint in his father’s eyes. I am not insulting this dull fellow, just that this shallow-minded individual needs some input regarding who was the first Malaysian to be awarded the Pingat Gagah Berani. He was a Chinese! Sergeant Chong Yong Chin PGB of the First Federation Regiment.

Your heroes in a picture, whose?

Dey Zahid, I suppose you did not know that. Insults have to be politely reciprocated with civility, I am doing just that.

Did you not know who was the first recipient of the Pingat Gagah Berani in the Congo? That person too was a Chinese, Lieutenant Lee Ah Pow PGB, read about how shoddily he was treated too! It had to take Brigadier R.S. Noronha of the Indian army (during a UN peacekeeping mission in Congo) to recommend him for an award. Lt Lee had shown exemplary courage and tremendous restraint under fire, yet his own Malaysian high command overlooked his valour.

There was another young Chinese officer, Lt David Fu Chee Meng, who too was awarded the PGB at the Battle of Tanah Hitam.

So those guys were not patriotic enough for you? Here is my favourite, someone I know personally, Sergeant Choo Woh Soon PGB, my wife’s uncle. The short guy in the centre of the photo is Sergeant Choo Woh Soon PGB. This guy, patriotic enough for you. My wife's uncle.

This is my father in law Corporal Choo Woh Hup, the elder brother of Sergeant Choo Woh Soon PGB

How about this Indian officer and Chinese soldier dying together to save your sorry butt from the commies? Captain Shanmuganathan PGB and 207770 Ranger Mat Isa bin Hassan PGB, do not be deceived by the name Mat Isa, he was a Chinese.

How about this Indian officer who laid down his life at the ripe old age of 24? Captain Mohana Chandran al Velayuthan (200402) Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa. Not patriotic enough for you? Here is another Indian who got the PGB, Second Lieutenant Panir Chellvum a/l Velaithan PGB. Still not patriotic enough for you?

M’sian soldiers burn cross

How about this where a sorry excuse for an officer caused the death of 13 Italian airmen in the Congo. The Malay Major had shirked his responsibilities of providing the airmen with protection, placed them in danger by ordering them to be brought to the mess and allowed them to be captured by the rebels. The Major then further disgraced himself by ordering all the officers and men at the mess to surrender their weapons to the rebels who had surrounded them, which they did sheepishly.

Malaysia’s name had to be salvaged in this incident by Second Lieutenants N.H. Siebel PGB and Captain Maurice Lam PGB, notice their names, they were non-Malays.

How about the time in Bosnia where soldiers desecrated a Catholic Cross? Again the situation was salvaged by the non-Malays. For posterity I have another link here about how the then Defence Minister Najib Razak excused the burning of Croation Catholic cross by two Malaysian UN peacekeepers stationed in Bosnia-Herzegovina as “unintentional”.

I will not even talk about the vandalising of the Hoba meteorite in Namibia.

Here is another Indian, who after serving a total of 29 years in both the police force and the army is denied his pension. The reason being he did not attend the weapons course and tactics course. What weapons and tactics course, when he and his men wiped out the remnants of the enemy in Selangor. What would his unshaved instructors teach him? Read about him, Captain Courageous aka Mukhtiar Singh s/o Sodagar Singh.

In any other army in the world today, they would have cited Mukhtiar Singh for courage and piled honours on him without any questions asked. Unfortunately he is an Indian in Malaysia, get that Zahid?

Here is a picture of an all Chinese group of Kinta Valley Homeguards who fought the Malayan Communist Party. More pics here...

The problem with people like Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is he does not know about people like these Chinese and Indians who were willing to die for Malaysia unconditionally. They only wanted to be treated fairly. The current situation is like “some people are more equal than others”.

East M’sians discriminated against

People like Zahid are wind bags, full of foul air and all empty talk.

If you notice the minorities were significant in numbers in the forces when Malaysia was in danger, from the Japanese occupation of Malaya, the Emergency, Confrontation and the subsequent Emergency until the cessation of hostilities by the Malayan Communist Party.

Remember the Communist Party of Malaya did not surrender. It was a treaty for the cessation of hostilities. Freeing our Great Leader to push his agenda of Ketuanan Melayu, subsequently his achievements were … I shall just cite one, i.e. the amazing statement that Anwar Ibrahim socked himself in the left eye to gain public sympathy and give the police a bad name.

They happily reneged on this treaty

Mahathir could not do many of the things he has done if the Malayan Communist Party was on the warpath as it would increase their numbers. Zahid, being an ardent fan of this old goat, is still playing to the gallery.

Soldiers who have served, the non-Malays, know what it is to be discriminated against because of their race and religion. Even the Bumiputras of Sabah and Sarawak are discriminated against, as most of them are Christians.

While at this, being an ex-soldier and all, I have seen many East Malaysian officers serving in combat units. Why did not any one of them make it to General? Not good enough?

Look at how brave, loyal and patriotic they are. See in the archives for the records I’ve compiled. After seeing the results of the Sibu ‘buy elections’, where the BN lost, I guess they saw the writing on the wall and recently promoted an Iban officer to become the first Iban who made it to General, Stephen Mundaw, in September this year.

Anyway that is peanuts, East Malaysians should demand and expect at least a 4-star General from amongst the Ibans, whose bodies have been littered across the battle fields in Malaysia. Their courage and ferocity in battle is unmatched.

Lack of promotion prospects

After having served many years and plodding along, being bypassed by juniors and incompetents, there are so many grievances. There is not enough space to write it all at one go. Is it not heart wrenching? You expect patriotism to burn brightly in the hearts of the non-Malays when our children are discriminated by virtue of race and religion?

Treat everyone equally on a level playing field and you will not need to ask for the non-Malays to defend this country. The numbers would be so huge that you would have to send most of them back.

In the military, the non-Malay is ridden like a horse, for the greater benefit of the majority. No rewards, when it comes to promotions and benefits … they forget you. You know about the old race horse, that it runs until it drops dead or is put out to pasture. Most non-Malays make it to the rank of Major, I am sure you have heard this before, about the infamous glass ceiling. That is the rank you have to be happy with.

You are not promoted on merit. I know of guys who can barely speak English but become Generals. During my time all the courses were in English. Ask the ex and serving non-Malays about the subtle hints to convert. They do not even respect your faith by suggesting that. If they’re always hinting to you that you should convert, it means they look down on you.

Religious and racial discrimination go hand in hand.

I have also had the privilege of seeing a General’s knees tremble, when he stepped out of my Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) as I helped him down. This was after an exchange of fire. I was the escort commander and he was riding in my IFV in Somalia.

A hundred non-Malays would, without hesitation and asking questions, charge a hill of 10,000 enemies to defend their country, Malaysia, if you treated them and their offspring as Malaysians and not as dhimmis and second-class citizens.

I could continue shellacking Ahmad Zahid until the cows come home but it is us who are to be blamed. He is the MP for Bagan Datuk, Perak. Those of us who continue supporting MCA and the MIC, are actually getting him elected year in, year out. Your votes have made him arrogant. If you notice his majority is actually shrinking. So the strongest message for the Defence Minister would be to boot this racist Umno supremacist out of Parliament in the next general elections.

Never forget.

I’m hopeful for a reply from the ever “caring, helpful and responsible” Madani government, hopefully from its official hotshot information chief, Fahmi Fadzil. I will humbly request a clarification from the communications minister.

My key question is this: Is there an unwritten rule or order somewhere which firmly declares that all Malaysians must support Hamas and denounce Israel? Do we have a choice?

I also wish to see this narrative straightened out. If there are Malaysians who are pro-Israel and make anti-Hamas statements, are they deemed to have committed a “crime”? This is a very disturbing issue which many Malaysians want the government to clarify.

I’m aware that a man was arrested in Johor Bahry last December over his statements supporting diplomatic ties between Malaysia and Israel.

According to the police, the case was being investigated under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act, Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for making statements conducing to public mischief. So far, we have not heard of any update regarding the case.

― Evelyn Beatrice Hall, as an illustration of Voltaire’s beliefs

COMMENT | On the outset, let me declare that I do not know and have not met US academic Bruce Gilley and neither do I subscribe or agree with his latest utterances which I read, and the reaction from local leaders.

I am also against any form of violence and certainly sympathise with the people of Palestine who are being driven to the brink of starvation and death by the actions of the Israeli army.

However, I am against anyone trying to rile up people against those who express views contrary to the government’s opinions.

Yes, Gilley did ruffle more than a few feathers but why is the line of reaction and argument based on the lines of intra-party and inter-party bickering by local politicians?

If the intention is to score brownie points ahead of the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election, there are even better ways in which the task can be completed with finesse.

As a combat veteran, I salute this movie and the creators. God have mercy on the fallen, and the living soldiers. Amen. THE best Afghanistan War movie I have ever watched. I can't believe I missed this one when it first came out but here 9 years later I'm glad I caught up with it.

Leaves some Hollywood movies to shame. Great story, great acting and the most authentic movie of its type. Hats off to the film crew and actors. Bloody hell, what a movie. I generally don't watch war movies, too much of the same old, same old.

Great film. When I was a boy my father told me the story of Robert the Bruce taking courage from watching the spider fail six time to land its web and then succeeding on the seventh try. Today I am in my ninth decade and we have the same fight for freedom in America against an enemy that has stealthily infiltrated us. I believe we will succeed.

Remember Us

A narrow strip of land(Armenia) is withholding a new Turkic Ottomon Caliphate stretching from Istanbul to Siberia. West and India should help Armenia. Why are Christian countries NOT helping Armenia, Islamic countries are helping Azerbaijan.

Emory University Gaza protesters hit with tear gas, rubber bullets amid clashes with police

That has led to police brutality across campuses. Police have been accused of using rubber bullets and teargas against the protesting students. If this was happening in any other country, Washington would be the first to condemn it. So why are they blind to the police crackdown in their own campuses?

Bruce Gilley, how many books has, Mediocre Sheikh Madani written?

Weapons may kill or maim, but words and convincing reasons can influence generations and create change. This is what governments fear most. Instead of wrapping our students in cotton wool and caging their minds with invisible barbed wire to stop alternative thought processes from penetrating their brains, we should be encouraging more robust dialogues.

On April 23, the American academic, Bruce Gilley (above) , upset many Malaysians at a lecture at Universiti Malaya. They did not like his pro-Israeli views, but people tend to forget that being offended does not necessarily mean that they are right.

The professor of political science from Portland State University has since left Malaysia because he feared for his safety. But interestingly, some people disagree with him. Perhaps, they have forgotten the fear felt by Mustafa Akyol, the senior lecturer of Islam, at Boston College.

In September 2017, Akyol was detained, interrogated and intimidated by the authorities at KLIA. A few hours earlier, his modern approach to apostasy in Islam had triggered warning bells in our archaic religious police, and at KLIA, he was detained and interrogated. That was not a one-off incident because in January this year, political scientist Ahmet T Kuru, was accused by our authorities of being a terrorist.

His book launch had to be cancelled by a local think tank who feared for his safety. At KLIA, Kuru, who is the director of Islamic and Arabic studies at the San Diego State University, claimed that five plainclothes police officers were waiting for him.

Spratyls888 : In year 2023 PMX go jet setting to : China (3 trips), Australia, Middle East America (3 trips) & Germany On all occasion he was advocating for Hamas & Palesine cause like he is a spokesman of evil Hamas but never for once he condemn Oct 7 astrocities!

He urge for CEASEFIRE but NEVER for once did PMX urge for the release of Israelis hostages! Imagine the foreign dignitiaries have to put up with his cock & bull hearing him spewing pro terror -rist propaganda!

Hamas convenant clearly advocated the “destruction of Israel”, at least as PM, Anwar should point out which part of Professor Gilley’s comment are wrong instead of resorting to name calling & personal attacks. Unbecoming of a PM. Such PM is a indeed a disgrace to our nation.

The herd mentality of this bigot nation have most probably rendered “free speech & expression” a CRIME sooner or later. At this bigot nation no dissenting thoughts or opinion are allowed! Its either the KETUANAN way or Communist way!

Have we reach a point of no returns? PMX Anwar is the only PM that did not get invited to White House despite 3 trips to America, unprecedented! Shamefull…

RainbowHuman1963 : If it is a myth that Islam permits critical thinking then you, Mariam, are a mythical legend. In reality you are a normal thinking person that the establishment may view as a threat, whereas many Malaysians nowadays seem to just let our politicians do the thinking for them.

Apollos: Malaysian Unis prefer echo chambers, robot-like students. You know, the gigo type - garbage-in, garbage-out. If you are a thinking student, you create problems for the uni. That they abhor. Forget about the MUDA acting president. She is a dimwit. Sad.

JWKK : Bravo, Mariam. I couldn't agree with you more. You and Prof Tajuddin Rasdi have the heart of an academic/scholar, unlike many who simply fail to understand the basic DNA of true academic research and presentation, which is, that it invariably will upset some--a lot or a few, depending on the topic and context.

And Mariam is also right to point out that how come, it seems, no one at the speech delivered by Gilley questioned him and offered a counter narrative? An academic forum is also about discussion, debate and exchange of different ideas in an effort to get closer to the truth.

People who are quick to restrict freedom of speech simply are ignorant of this process of healthy exchange of ideas to provoke even agitate in order for different views to see the light of day to make sense of an issue/reality. To those who quip this is so ivory towerish, well, again, you just don't know what being an academic is about.

Don't for a minute dismiss this academic provocation, debate, and exchange as nothing more than a waste of time. For that is the germination of progress. And if this culture were to be a solid part of an institution of higher education, it will seep out of its corridors into the non-academic world.

Think of the wonder and benefits that will be created. Predictably, the ketuanan mentality is about silencing counter narratives with the threat of apologies, sanctions, fines/ jail terms. This approach also taken by PM Anwar is yet another evidence of reformati. He has the right to label Gilley a mediocre scholar.

But,, if Gilley is mediocre, why do you want to silence him from our shores? You or your madani is now afraid of mediocrity? All this is to show that the academic DNA is still far far from the academic world of higher education in Malaysia because Malaysian academic basically is about "yes, sir" in the public sector and "yes, boss" in the private sector.

Any wonder why our academic hardly stand out in the world and that it catches global attention almost always for the wrong reasons like the UPM "academics" fabricating the past to glorify the ketuanan?

MS : Based on his known academic credentials and qualifications, Bruce Gilley is far more qualified than most Malaysian academics and definitely Malaysian politicians.

So he has an opinion which most Madanistanis have a problem with. Instead of debating him like what real academicians and intellectuals would do to disprove his notions, the knee-jerk reaction here is of the Ketuanan Melayu-Ketuanan Islam variety.

"Local sentiments" which is really code for Malay sentiments (because "local" in Malaysia does not obviously include non-Malays) is cited as justification for the reaction and name-calling.

Which is perhaps why "local sentiments" were not hurt in any manner by the provocative rantings of one Zakir Naik who incidentally was given his PR despite being unable to speak in Bahasa Melayu - a point conveniently disregarded by the likes of that other UMNO intellectual... Dr Akmal

Kajang pigeon : Not a single academic in boleh land could stand up and refute or debate his claim. It’s true they panic and censure anyone who doesn’t follow their views , this is seen in countries like North Korea , Iran and other dictatorial nations.

An opinion is a dangerous view… glad you pointed out how. A criminal like zakir is given the red carpet but an academic is shooed away.

Lest we forget

Rebel News : Dave Menz, President of the Aussie Veterans Association spoke out against the shocking disrespect shown towards the solemnity of the day by anti-Israel activists who tried to disrupt and desecrate commemorations around the country.

Reflecting on the significance of ANZAC Day, Dave stressed its importance as a day of remembrance and unity for veterans, and a day that should not never be overshadowed by activists seeking to re-write history. "It's the Veterans Day where we march and we honor our fallen, where we get together with friends and we meet friends we haven't seen for ages.

They got 365 days a year. Why would you do it on Anzac Day?" he remarked. "This is not good for their cause or for them. Totally disrespectful, totally the wrong day." Dave further commented on the appalling scenes witnessed this year, including one protester dragging the Australian flag along the ground wrapped in a Palestinian flag.

"As a soldier, you're taught the flag is your flag. When you put the flag up the pole, when it comes down the pole. You never let the flag touch the ground. It's a piece of cloth to some people ... To us, it's the chosen flag. It's our flag. And it should not be desecrated in any way whatsoever," he asserted.

Expressing frustration with the lack of government intervention, Dave called for stricter laws against flag desecration. "Why aren't the government getting in and saying you can have your protest, but this is beyond a joke?

It should be a law that you can't burn the flag. There should be a law to say if you desecrate the flag in any way you're going to jail, forget the fine. Put them in jail. That's the easiest way," he urged.

But no, let’s not discuss that selfishness. Let's focus on the real issue; it must be another one of those grand "Mudiji’s conspiracies." That’s the only logical explanation, right? Because it’s definitely not worth considering societal complexities or encouraging broader participation in organ donation programs.

No, it must be a conspiracy. Always. I have a muslim colleague, I asked him about Organ donation, he said clearly, Islam doesn't allow Organ donation. They are not even allowed to do Tattoo.

Delving into the depths of Congress's Marxist-inspired proposals, Ranganathan reveals the sinister implications of their policies, which threaten the financial stability and prosperity of the common people. Drawing parallels to Communist ideologies, Ranganathan highlights Congress's disregard for individual rights and economic freedom, exposing their dangerous pursuit of power at any cost.

From their plans for the religious-based reservation to their audacious schemes for property surveillance and asset redistribution, he paints a chilling picture of Congress's authoritarian tendencies. With incisive commentary, Ranganathan calls upon viewers to confront the stark reality of Congress's agenda and join the fight against their destructive policies.

He warns of the grave consequences of allowing Congress to continue unchecked, urging citizens to defend the principles of democracy and liberty against the encroachment of Marxist ideals. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion that lays bare the true nature of Congress's agenda and calls for resistance against their relentless assault on individual rights and economic prosperity.

Join Anand Ranganathan in exposing the Marxist menace lurking within the corridors of power, and stand up for the values that define a free and just society.

New Delhi has advised Washington to uphold the balance between freedom of expression and public safety. As India traditionally refrains from commenting on internal affairs of other countries, this latest statement could reflect a change in policy. In the past, the US has criticised India over domestic policy decisions involving the new citizenship law and the farmers' protest. Is India now trying to give the US a taste of its own medicine?

CAA is about giving citizenship but Rwanda bill is about deportation which might include terrorist & other criminals entering a country illegally. They do not have to come to the UK, it is not written in stone, there are plenty of other countries these people have leap frogged over to get to the UK, why? Question-why is India still part of the 'Commonwealth'. Is it a badge of honour to show 'India was once colonized' by the biggest looters in history?

This is why Bishop Mar Mari is so loved.

The priest says the video of his attack should stay up on X because that’s the freedom of religion and speech our brave Anzacs fought for, declaring himself a ‘proud Aussie’.

I’m a new fan of his despite not being orthodox. He’s a great man tethered to truth. I enjoy his passionate lectures. He is a good leader and an open thinker. God bless him. The govt are making out that it's about the video. But it's not about the video though. Once they can censor a video, they'll censor everything & anything they disagree with. They won't allow us to talk about the corruption within the government.

I’m still wondering why some people were determined to remove posted photos of hostages. Our boys didnt die for multiculturalism, that's false. They SERVED King, Country and a Christian God and our Australian way of life, which by the way is seriously being undermined by unfettered immigration over the last 20 years.

Australia for 200 years was a homogeneous society, and the immigration policy ensured racial homogeneity of British Celt persons. Multiculturalism has been engineered and forced onto Australians, so much so, that we are at a tipping point and that we are fast becoming a minority in the country that our ancestors built, defended and died for. Where is the open discussion about multiculturalism? There is none.

“Umno Youth would like to propose that either the government or the opposition file a parliamentary motion to amend the law, to make it a must for one to be able to converse in Bahasa Melayu in order to be considered a citizen.

“If Bangladeshis who come to Malaysia can speak Bahasa Melayu, how can one call themselves citizens but not speak the language?” Akmal (above) asked in a video uploaded on his Facebook today.

“Umno Youth will use channels available to ensure this motion is presented and made into a law in this country,” he added.

Yesterday, immigration director-general Ruslin Jusoh said the department’s officers are not allowed to reject passport renewals or first-time applications solely because the applicant failed to master the national language.

On the Other Hand : Has Zakir Nair learnt how to speak BM? The man whom the MMs worship cannot speak BM. So what should be done with the fugitive?

PinkGiraffe0003 : Why don't we just go back in time and give your dad a condom. The world will be better of without "geniuses" like you

Gerard Lourdesamy : Are you daft Akmal? Passing the BM test is a requirement for citizenship by naturalisation and registration as provided for under the FC. It does not apply to citizenship by operation of law. Go read the FC before commenting.

If you want to re-write the FC on the citizenship issue that was agreed upon in 1957, can we also abrogate our Independence and ask the British to come back? Incidentally, I got a C3 in SPM for BM but I am still treated as an outsider in my own country.

Proud Infidel : Mr Tub of Lard, you are only the Kleptocracy Youth Leader. You cannot bastardize the laws of Malaysia, to suit your whims and fancies.

COMMENT | PSM and Muda are in talks to see if they will field a candidate in the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election. If they do field a candidate, it would be an uphill task for an electoral victory.

Partisan interests are entrenched and no doubt even if Muda or PSM wins, they will find their candidate in a hostile environment with establishment parties undermining their every move, even if it means going against the will of the people.

The existential crisis facing the non-Malay/Muslim polity is not that they have no choices but the reality that this polity is not committed to a secular and egalitarian agenda.

This is not only demonstrated in the polity’s allegiance to a political party that arrogantly assumes that it is the gatekeeper to the definition of what it means to be Malaysian but also the so-called adherence to realpolitik when it suits the purposes of this party and its hardcore base.

Partisan echo chambers are not reverberating with calls for equality and justice for all but rather crypto-racism and a disdain for anything that would jeopardise the status quo of establishment coalitions. It has gotten worse with the ascension of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to the hot seat in Putrajaya.

Moderate Malays are left to their own devises. If they speak up against religious extremism, there is a good chance they would be sanctioned with Pakatan Harapan in power or disavowed if Harapan was in the opposition.

Maybe if DAP had remained strictly secular instead of attempting to use religion - donning the headscarf, wandering around mosques, remaining silent when moderate Malays were speaking out against the injustice they experienced and enabling religious policies - things would be different. They would have been a foundation to build an alternative. But that time has passed.

All of this does not mean that the base is willing to give up on DAP and Harapan. Keep in mind that the fear of the Green Wave is an extremely potent distraction meant to lull non-Muslims into believing that our secular fundamentals are still strong. It is not.

Why PSM?

I have seen opposition politicians attack PSM while making excuses for other opposition political parties and their own parties who have engaged in behaviour that is corrupt, mendacious, and betrays the principles that the opposition insists they have.

While the mainstream political coalitions are busy finding easily identifiable “enemies”, what PSM identifies are deficiencies in the system and misguided policies that essentially encourage the working-class Malay base to vote against their long-term interests.

You need to really realize that this is not just a problem of ignorance or a perception gap/problem. This is a perception war. A lot of the misinformation is deliberate and designed, the rest the result of the design. You’ve known about Pallywood anyway for a while. Letting people know and provide the facts and data is absolutely important.

But what is more important is to understand that the knowledge gap is a lesser problem than the indoctrination's, the interests, the habits, the fears, the aspirations of the sources of the misinformation. Basically, bet on people being evil, not ignorant. But let’s push through with confidence.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, the victim of the alleged terror attack, has no objection to the footage being available on X. We all know why the Albanese govt is cynically using this incident to whip up hysteria & push more censorship. The PM wants to ban memes now.

How dare we make fun of our exalted leaders!Just imagine calling Elon Musk an ‘egotistical arrogant billionaire’ to then have the victim come out and say that he wants the video visible for all to see…. So who’s ‘out of touch’ now?

What a PR Nightmare this has now become for not only the government but also the opposition and all those who endorsed the PMs position here.

Palestinian insurgency in South Lebanon

This is how countries become Muslim. People often don’t know about the role the Palestinians played in starting the Lebanese Civil War. I remember stories from old Lebanon friends telling me that Lebanon back in the 70 was the reviria of the Middle East, all the rich and famous people came to Lebanon.

Bought houses and made Lebanon rich, since PLO kicked out from Jordan and went to Lebanon, all hell break loose, civil war for years, Lebanon been destroyed and still been rampage by terror and low economy because the terror make them poor.

Speaking truth, Bangaldesh, Pakistan went the same way. Afghan was once buddhist, though almost 500 years ago. They have removed every single minority. The islamic ummah calls for world domination through eternal grievance culture.

We have won. The government ( including MAT) wants to appeal. I notice they have no substantive nor affirmative factual or legal grounds for appealing. They are beating round the Bush with unreasonable and untrue facts to disagree with our claim.

During the open court hearing they gave reason that the vast difference of pension is because of basic academic qualifications When they register for appeal they said they do not agree with all the judgement and order made by the High Court judge When they submit their supporting affidavit they said inter alia :

a. We claim for "additional pension" and they refuse to give us additional pension. What we claimed was pension adjustment

b. They said that they cannot pay us because if they win the appeal, we will owe them and it would be difficult for them to collect back the money. I replied that we are not beggers on the street.. we have monthly pension and they can always deduct from our monthly pensions.

c. This time they said they disagree partially with the judgment. The supporting affidavit was signed under oath by mindef KSU on behalf of MAT and other defendents.

I have replied their affidavit and denied all their statements In Parliament, menhan said (from the AG), in article 137(1) the wording which says the YDPA gave his general powers to MAT is wrong. And he goes on and says that article 41 must be read in harmony with article 132. To me all these are rubbish!

A41 states that the YDPA is the supreme commander of the Federation Armed Forces and A132 explain the types of public services.

When I said the people in MAT are stupid and ignorant of the law many people ( general and senior officers) are angry with me.. but it is true. The case management will be on the 9th of May 2024. I hope the court will reject their appeal application.

He saw that national culture and its idiosyncrasies could not be forcefully wiped out by the power of trade and finance especially since globalisation does not only have winners, it also has people who lose. Today when economic nationalism, supply chain resilience and guardrailing critical technologies is making headlines, Gurumurthy’s ideas seem to have won the debate. His role as the chairman of India’s most important nationalist think tank the Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF) gives him an advisory role to the Narendra Modi government.

This person, former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, abused the trust placed in him to systematically and wilfully conspire with Low Taek Jho (also known as Jho Low), then not even out of his thirties, to pilfer billions from the nation’s coffers. What has he done to deserve such treatment?

If we had triable treason laws in the country, he could have been found guilty on many counts and faced the most serious sentences possible for causing so much damage to the country.

The irony is that Umno Baru, the most corrupt party in the country, headed by a person who himself faces multiple corruption charges, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, and part of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s Madani government, is leading this ridiculous charge to get the nation to bend backwards for Najib yet again.

ScarletShark1551 : I totally agree Anwar is totally unfit to be our PM

Dummies Dhimmi : The home minister and the prison DG denied that this mega fraudster is given a king's status in the prison even though a inmate witness saw it as such. It's a joke that the public will swallow this blatant denial.

A house detention simply will mean he is a free man. He may even wear a 'pretend' ankle brace, in Malay Malaysia where stealing the raykat's money wins a hero status, he will be for all intended purposes be a super rich free man.

AyamKambingBack : Time to punish Madani, start with KKB.

Commenting has been disabled for this story : "he is driving a political nail into PKR’s coffin." Guna, We are well past the coffin nails. The coffin is already 6 feet under and the corpse is already rotting. All this and for what? Just for Anwar to keep living his dream of being PM

TheSidth : Strange PMX cannot find 5000 matriculation seats for NM nor 1billion for chinese and 500 million for indian B40 No low cost house quota for NM But for NR billions kena sakau pun takper Never vote UG again ! Kroni diutamakan rakyat NM di pinggirkan

UMNO issues are dominating Madani

Most Malaysians have forgotten the non-stop Pakatan Harapan attack on UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi during the last general election. There was a serious attempt to defeat Zahid in his seat of Bagan Datuk, where he just scaped in by a slender margin of 350 votes.

Zahid was the symbol of everything that was wrong within UMNO. His skilful moves after the election allowed Zahid to become the deputy prime minister of Anwar’s ‘unity government’. Zahid is the ‘Rasputin’ of Madani. He suspended or expelled any internal party opposition. Zahid was assisted by home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail to cancel UMNO party elections for the top two positions in the party.

Zahid’s dismissal without amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) in court last year, the instability created, and finally his affidavit supporting home detention for the former prime minister Najib Razak, all angered the public.

The above antics have helped many Pakatan Harapan supporters make up their minds to just stay home during the next election and not vote for anyone.

UMNO ‘baggage’ is killing PKR

Zahid is not the true ‘evil’ within UMNO. This comes from present and former UMNO politicians who are board members and chairpersons of government agencies and GLCs. They are there not to serve the people, but utilize the position for personal advantage. Many UMNO politicians have no qualms about entering politics to further their own business interests, rather than unselfishly serving the nation.

Its UMNO people that controls the bureaucracy, government agencies and CLGs. This is why the Madani government is really an UMNO government in disguise.
