Politik, Legislatif, Dasar dan Tadbir Urus

My article was earlier published in TheAntDaily.com on 12/4/2014 In February last year, about 200 Sulu terrorists from the southern Philippines “invaded” Lahad Datu in their bid to reclaim Sabah for the so-called Sulu Sultanate, killing several policemen during the ensuing stand-off with security forces. The police force was initially mobilised to stop these terrorists but the weaponry employed by the latter was more sophisticated than that of the police, forcing the army to be deployed later. The delayed deployment of the army and the government’s attempts to negotiate with what it thought was merely a band of criminals proved costly to the country’s image. The government was heavily criticised for its delayed and initial weak response to the invasion, which resulted in more deaths than necessary. In the aftermath of the Sulu invasion, the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) was established to beef up the security for the entire east coast of Sabah as well as to ...

After Perkasa showcasing on their racist and extremists jokes and unnecessary dislikes, now we have another one racist and extremist NGO here called, Isma trying to outdo their rivals in order to champion their alleged race and religion. For the sake of "defending" their race and religion, they sacrifice their brains too frequent in order to prove their blind loyalty to certain leaders or idols of theirs. Now we have Isma complaining that a church in Seremban used Bahasa Malaysia to promote its Easter musical which will be held later this week. Isma questioned why the church need to use the national language in its banners to promote the Christian event, when Christians are largely made up of Chinese and Indians. Isma also stated that since only Chinese and Indians made up the Christian population, English should therefore be used. Negri Sembilan Isma chief Zamani Ibrahim had lodged a report at the state's Islamic Affairs Department (JHEINS) and urged the r...

In case the inspector-general of police, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Bakar forgot about the status of the police force (PDRM) under his command, we wish to remind him that the police force of our nation is a secular-based organization formed under the Police Act. Therefore, the role of PDRM is to punish criminals and enforce the law as well as to protect the general public regardless of his race, religion or skin colour. In the case of a muslim convert who had obtained the custodial right from a Shariah Court last year but only to be overturned by the High Court recently after the Hindu ex-wife S.Deepa filed an application to seek for the return of her child from her ex-husband Izwan Abdullah who has converted to Islam without her knowledge, the police should then enforce the judgment of the law which was issued by the High Court. According to Tan Sri Khalid, the two court orders (both shariah and civil) clashed and therefore, the police would have to wait for the next court order. T...

We have been observing the manner Air Chief Marshal (Rtd) Angus Houston handles the Australian-based Joint Agencies Coordinating Centre (JACC) in their effort to track the missing Malaysian Airlines (MAS) plane MH370. All his actions demonstrated during the entire situation are of utmost professionalism. Ever since his appointment to head the JACC, a joint international search and rescue (SAR) effort to track the missing MH370, Marshal Houston has done a lot to convey his message to the families and the press in a very professional manner. Certainly no one, not even our nation's prime minister, defense minister, air force chief, the armed force chief, the inspector-general of police, the director-general of the department of civil aviation or the MAS chief executive officer cannot be compared with Marshal Houston. The retired Australian chief of defense force has indeed done well in the current crisis management. His details, statements and explanations are indeed straight...

My article was earlier published in TheAntDaily.com on 29/3/2014 During the Chinese New Year celebration last January, Seputeh Member of Parliament (MP) Teresa Kok published a comedy video clip alleging blatant corruption, power abuse and mismanagement in the government. The reactions by Umno supporters and pro-Umno NGOs, combined under the so-called Coalition of Muslim NGOs, were fast, furious and even crude. They staged various demonstrations and slaughtered chickens in public to threaten Kok and accused her of insulting the Malays and Islam. At several protests held by these groups, they even offered a RM1,200 reward to whoever who could slap Kok and produce evidence to show it. Kok lodged a police report on the slap threat but Home Minister and Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the slap threat was not an offence, indirectly telling police to disregard the police report by the DAP leader. This means, to Umno, slapping or any attempt or thre...
