MCA likens Mat Sabu to Ayatollah Khomeini

-
The MCA leaders in a recent forum has called Mohamad Sabu the next "Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini" of Malaysia in the making, thus taking a different tack from Umno’s then offensive against the PAS deputy president for allegedly being a Communist sympathizer.

Khomeini was an Iranian religious and political leader who played an integral part in the Iranian Revolution that led to the overthrow of the Shah of Iran in 1979. He later became Iran’s Supreme Islamic Revolutionary Leader until his death in 1989.

So many inconsistencies in the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition now. First, Umno had aggresively branded Maohamad Sabu as a Communist following his political ceramah in Tasek Gelugor, Seberang Perai citing that the police officers killed at Bukit Kepong police station were of the colonial police force.

Then, MCA fired another salvo at Mat Sabu different from the one Umno had done it previously by saying he is more to an "Ayatollah Khomeini" type, because of his Islamic leanings, following statements by some PAS leaders that they are all for a hudud law should the party were to take control of the nation or any state in the next general election.

So, to the BN leaders, is Mat Sabu a Communist or an Islamist? He has been charged in a sessions court recently for being a Communist. In this case, is he going to be charged in the court again in another day for being an Islamist or "Ayatollah"?

It is a clear fact that the charges against Mat Sabu for being a Communist (defamation suit) initiated by Umno is a politically fabricated issue which should not have exist in the first place. It is a fact that those serving in the police force in 1950 at that time were indeed servants of the British colonial government. Malaya only achieved its independence in 1957 which is seven years later then.

If not, why did MCA suddenly came out with yet another title of "Ayatollah" for Mat Sabu without first consulting Umno as the later's Mat Sabu Communist campaign is ongoing.

It is for each other's "race represented" in the BN coalition. Umno for Communist Mat Sabu to regain support from the Malay community, while MCA's Ayatollah Mat Sabu is to regain support from the Chinese community.

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 ...
