Merdeka, so what?

-
Today we hear voices from all parts of our nation, shouting Merdeka here and shouting Merdeka there. But are all these shouts real? Did these came from the bottom of the heart of all those who shouted these words? Or do they just shouted these words today and then forget about it tomorrow?

Yes, it is not that we are not appreciating the spirit of Merdeka on 31 August every year. We do recognize that there are some people out there who are really appreciating this historic annual celebration which marked the independence of our nation 53 years ago.

But, we are also upset and fed up there despite being an independent nation for 53 years now, our nation's unity is breaking up one by one, day by day and now almost every second in a day. These irresponsible racist leaders and politicians had made use of our "kemerdekaan" to further their own political gains, to further their own political powers, to further their supremacist order, to further their "ketuanan" order and to make the others s their slaves and cows.

These irresponsible racist leaders and politicians wanted to disintegrate the foundation laid down by our first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj when our nation first achieved our independence 53 years ago. These irresponsible racist leaders and politicians wanted to ensure that there will be no such thing of Bangsa Malaysia now and for the rest of our lives.

These racist leaders and politicians wanted to instill their so-called supremacist and "ketuanan" orders onto the other communities and ethnics, as well as to enslave others in order to advance their own political powers and gains.

As the result, our freedom, democracy, justice, equality and most importantly our national unity and the federal constitution has been gravely undermined in the name of upholding a one-race supremacist and "ketuanan" orders.

As the result, those who stood up and fought for, including those who are still fighting now to defend our freedom, democracy, justice, equality as well as to stand up against racism, hatred, threat and violence were round up, imprisoned and tortured while those who advocate racism, hatred, threat and violence against others were still on the lose out there having their hands on all their victims almost every second, every hour and every single day.

And that is what gravely upset all of us, instead of moving forward, our nation is heading towards disintegration and going backwards to uncivilized nature of enslavement of our people.

Merdeka, so what? Does this event mean anything to us today? The actual spirit is already long gone, years ago ever since these racist leaders and politicians took up their seats of power in Putrajaya.

Therefore, if racism is so strong today, there will be no freedom, democracy, justice, equality, national unity and Bangsa Malaysia anymore. So, is this really Merdeka anyway?

EC should ask ROS to register Pakatan quickly

The Election Commission (EC) had recently advised the current opposition pact, Pakatan Rakyat comprising PAS, PKR and DAP, to register their coalition so that they could use their logo in the coming general election. EC deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar said the coalition should be registered because the opposition parties were always seen violating regulations of the election campaign, especially on the use of their logo. Datuk Wan Ahmad seems to be overly ignorant and too forgetful on this issue. The EC deputy chairman should ask the Registrar of Societies (ROS) to quickly register the Pakatan instead of calling on Pakatan to register itself. Pakatan Rakyat had earlier send in their formal application to register itself as a coalition of political parties since November 2009 and ROS has yet to register the said entity till today after delaying and creating so many hassles for more than a year. It is not Pakatan who is delaying on its application but it was the ROS who is just...

USM fiasco a shame

-
I read and heard with irritation and felt disgusted with the fiasco committed by the apex status university called Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) which caused untold anguish to the affected students and their parents. If this happened in Japan, the Vice-Chancellor would have done the honourable thing - take full responsibilty and leave, but here in Malaysia, as expected, the blame is shifted here and there, trying to make someone a scapegoat. By the way, would there be any racist or sabotage elements involved? Those who are responsible for this fiasco should be sacked or expelled immediately.

Federal Constitution that Safeguards the Legitimate Rights and Interest of All Malaysians

-

The provisions of the Federal Constitution are very clear. It confirmed the position of the Malay Rulers, Islam as an official religion of the federation and special position of the Malays and the natives in Sabah and Sarawak whilst recalling that those provisions balance those special positions with safeguards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the other communities in Malaysia which also includes their right to profess and practice their religions freely without being fear of any threats or being harmed by anybody. The legitimate interests of the non-Malays and non-Muslims would include, amongst others: a) Article 153 (9) says that business or trade cannot be solely reserved only for the Malays, b) Article 3 (1) says that the official religion of the federation is Islam BUT other religions are also allowed to be practiced in peace and harmony in any part of the federation. This means, the other communities too have their fundamental legitimate rights and interest here ...
