“Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim memang petah bercakap, tapi saya tidak fikir negara memerlukan pemimpin sepertinya dan jika ditakdirkan dia menjadi pemimpin kita, ia satu petanda bahawa bencana akan melanda,”
“Bagi saya, perkara pertama yang perlu dimiliki seseorang pemimpin politik ialah kejujuran. Ini bukannya gelanggang permainan, tapi tempat untuk mencorakkan masa depan rakyat dan negara Malaysia secara keseluruhannya."
“Sekarang suaranya berubah sekali lagi. Saya tidak tahu mengapa rakyat terutama bukan Melayu masih percaya dengannya yang kini begitu lantang menghentam sistem pemerintahan kerajaan yang pernah menjadi sebahagian daripada perjuangannya,”
(Prof Dr Chandra Muzaffar, president of JUST)

Teringat pulak Rage Against The Machine.....
YEARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and right
So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Bam! Here's the plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back
The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back
Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it,
break it down
Awww shit!
Uggh!
And like this...uggh!
Come on, yeah! Bring it back the other way!
The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouning off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back
No more lies
Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!
Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on! |

Citizens denied fair votes
Bias in Electoral Process Favors Ruling Coalition in March 8 Poll
Government restraints on expression, assembly and access to state media will deny Malaysians a fair vote in the March 8 general elections, Human Rights Watch said today.
The authorities’ manipulation of the electoral process appears aimed to ensure that the ruling coalition maintains its two-thirds parliamentary majority.
“Once again, elections in Malaysia are grossly unfair to the opposition,” said Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “Malaysia’s ruling coalition is too comfortable with the status quo to allow reforms that would level the playing field.”
On March 8, Malaysians will vote for the national parliament. Since 1969, the ruling Barisan Nasional, a coalition consisting of 14 parties, has held a two-thirds majority in parliament, which enables it to amend the constitution at will. Opposition parties currently hold 9.6 percent of the seats in parliament.
Freedom of expression, association and assembly
Malaysian law and practice allow free campaigning for the ruling coalition while placing severe restraints on the opposition. For instance, Prime Minister Abdullah Ahman Badawi on March 1 was able to hold a rally of 20,000 supporters. But police have repeatedly blocked attempts by opposition parties to hold election rallies by refusing to issue the permits required for any gathering of four or more people.
In November 2007, the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih), a loose alliance of almost 70 civil society organizations and several political parties, organized an orderly march and rally by some 40,000 Malaysians. In response, police used excessive force, including tear gas and chemical-laced water on peaceful protesters.
The government has routinely used the specter of ethnic violence to deter public demonstrations and silence government critics. On February 16, three days after Abdullah dissolved parliament, police officers used tear gas and water cannons to disperse a peaceful crowd of some 200 Malaysian Indians from the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf). Hindraf has not been permitted to register as a political party, and has repeatedly been denied permits when they sought, such as on this occasion, to hold a peaceful demonstration.
“When opposition leaders and civil society groups critical of the government try to organize rallies, they are blocked at every turn,” said Pearson. “Yet the usual excuses about unruly protesters and blocked traffic are never mentioned when the ruling coalition wants to get its supporters out on the streets. ”
The government has long threatened opposition politicians with provisions of the broadly worded Sedition Act. In addition, since the draconian Printing Presses and Publications Act places the burden of proof on defendants in defamation cases, opposition parties are self-censoring for fear of being hit hard by libel suits if they critique the establishment.
Curbs on the media
Government interference in media reporting is not new to Malaysia, but has become even more contentious during election campaigning. An election observer in Malaysia told Human Rights Watch that monitoring of state television and radio had turned up no opposition candidate presence. The state media are the two most important avenues for candidates to communicate their messages to voters, particularly those in rural areas.
In late January, Bernama, the Malaysian National News Agency reported that Deputy Information Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamid conceded the lack of fairness in the state media. He said that the ministry would need to study “whether allowing opposition leaders to campaign through Radio Television Malaysia in the next general election will benefit the people.”
Freedom of the media is further hampered since all private free-to-air television channels are owned by the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), a founding member of the ruling coalition and Malaysia’s largest political party.
Because Malaysian law requires all publications to obtain permits to operate on a yearly basis, the state can easily shut down those that are critical of the government. The minister of internal security, who is currently also the prime minister, has discretion to grant, revoke or suspend any publication prejudicial to public order, morality or security, or that is likely to alarm public opinion. Newspapers such as the Tamil language daily, Makkai Osai, are self-censoring to avoid being shut down.
On February 15, the online Malaysiakini site reported that the Chinese-language Oriental Daily editor issued an election-related “guideline” to staff. The guideline suggested the newspaper should avoid placing opposition news prominently, mentioning the opposition’s campaign to block the Barisan Nasional’s goal of a two-thirds majority, or discussing any disputed issues in Chinese communities. The Oriental Daily has had difficulty renewing its license in recent years.
“The Malaysian government has ensured that state radio and TV only cover the ruling coalition and that newspapers report on the opposition at their own risk,” said Pearson.
Irregularities in electoral roll registration and certification of election results
Irregularities in the voter rolls and other elements of the electoral process raise concerns that the government will seek to manipulate votes in closely fought districts. While some individual problems may be simple error, they highlight the need for effective and impartial monitoring by the Election Commission and national election monitors.
Bersih, the coalition for clean and fair elections, has documented severe irregularities in the voter rolls. It found that in several areas a large number of voters were suddenly transferred en masse from one district to another. According to Bersih, some voters discovered that their electoral registration was changed without their knowledge to locales outside their home districts.
In one case, a voter found that her registration had been changed back to a residence she had not occupied for 14 years. Others have found that despite registering a change of address some time ago, they have not been reassigned to polling stations reflective of their new addresses. Still others, who had never registered, found that their names mysteriously appeared on the electoral roll. One voter in Penang went to register, only to find that she allegedly had done so when she was 17 months old. Some voters who used the mail to register to vote discovered registration procedures had not been completed in time for them to be eligible to vote in the upcoming election.
Other anomalies reported by Bersih involve multiple registrations, in one case 40 individuals are registered at a single address. In other cases, family members living together are listed at different addresses. Other registrations use nonexistent addresses. Almost 9,000 voters who were born more than 100 years ago (two were reported to be 128 years old) are still enrolled to vote, raising suspicions about phantom voting. No matter what the offense, the voter roll, once gazetted, cannot be challenged in court.
Bersih is also concerned with postal voting, limited to police and army personnel, and overseas students. More than 221,000 voters use postal votes, but the tallied votes are not necessarily counted among those from voters’ home districts. Although the Army Div 2 Base in Georgetown, Penang, houses only a security guard, some 500 voters are registered to that address. A lack of transparency raises questions about how votes are assigned, including concerns that they may be arbitrarily allocated to benefit districts where the vote is close.
“Voters in Malaysia deserve a chance for every vote to count and count equally,” said Pearson. “Given the vast array of anomalies in the electoral rolls, this looks increasingly unlikely.”
Human Rights Watch urged the Malaysian government to protect the constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of expression and assembly for all parties. The government should not use laws to unfairly penalize opposition politicians, and it should ensure that all political parties have equal access to state media. Human Rights Watch called on national election monitors to thoroughly investigate any claims of electoral fraud and irregularities, and to provide for greater transparency by posting vote tallies outside polling stations before votes are transferred to the Election Commission.

Saya fikir bahawa sesiapa yang menyokong Barisan Nasional sepatutnya lebih memilih, berfikir dan menggunakan kebijaksanaan dalam memilih siapa yang mereka sokong. Jika mereka menamakan sesetengah calon, ahli politik yang memberi rasuah sebagai calon walaupun mereka adalah dari parti Barisan Nasional, penyokong Barisan Nasional tidak sepatutnya menyokong mereka. Dengan itu kita dapat membersihkan parti Barisan Nasional dan UMNO.
-Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad-

There is a grocery sale helping battling Australians to help themselves and for pensioners it can also be a blessing.
There are food bank warehouses all over the country. They contain rows upon rows of perfectly good food that supermarkets reject.
Head of Brisbane's food bank, Ken McMillan, said there is nothing wrong with the food, it is just some supermarkets stock certain sizes.
"The charity list has grown, we are up to 270 now," he said.
"We had 240 this time last year, I expect to have 300 in next couple of months.
"We're seeing two to three new charities every week."
With rising prices, the food banks help a countless number of Australians to feed themselves. |
tgk video psl ni kat http://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/video# video tu bertajuk Food bank warehouses for the poor
ape yg aku nampak,jika PAS/PKR/DAP pegang kuasa,harga barang akan naik berkali-kali ganda krn utk tanggung expenses yg dtg akibat pelaksanaan janji2 diorng tu.so,ape yg akan jadi jika kuasa beralih tgn skarang adelah:
alif. keadaan ekonomi jadi semakin teruk
ba. diorng tak akan laksanakan janji2 diorng,janji dibuat utk meraih undi shj.Sbb diorng sendri tau the consequences mmg gile teruk.so taktik negara kebajikan etc. tu hanyelah gimik dan bluffing semata2.

Sometimes i cannot believe how shortsighted you can be..
Actually what you said brings us back to we really want, a check and balance system. We don't particularly want BN to lose completely....but we want their 2/3 majority to be less, in order so that they cannot make stupid legislations at will. It is this majority that has condoned a lot of misuse of power amongst our leaders and their cronies. Although alot mught deny this, but nepotism is also running rampant by the looks of it.
Like Tun Mahathir says, Umno needs to be cleansed of the bad. Again I would like to re-iterate what Tun has said, that BN supporters must actually think of those that they vote for. If they really think that they are honest leaders, by all means, vote for them - but if they are the opposite, then better vote someone who is more trustworthy. That way the bad will be cleansed away from BN.
KJ for example... i haven't actually met anyone who likes him (maybe I am mixing with the wrong crowd here) He is a bit of a deviant from what I have observed, and i would be surprised a little if he won. Deviants like this really worry me... The papers (BN controlled) are really going all out to say polan and si polan are liars - proving what Omar said earlier that a lot of politics is about character assasination- discrediting people. If there were one or two articles saying that ...i wouldn't care too much, but it is blatantly obvious that BN are also playing the same game the opposition are playing.
Kesimpulannya dua2 pun dua kali lima je...sama je. One is not better than the other.
I do agree with you that the oppositions promises will be a burden to our economy, thats why i would prefer if there was balance between the two parties..
