Initially, these pro-Umno NGOs had made an offer of RM500 to anyone who could slap the Seputeh MP Teresa Kok over her Chinese New Year video clip. Then these groups of extremist and racist NGOs increase their offer to RM1200 for the same slap threat. And now, in a surprise move, these extremist and racist NGOs are offering pork to anyone who could slap the opposition MP. We wonder what kind of situation are they trying to provoke. First they offer money, now they are offering pork. Are they trying to create havoc or to promote more hatred? Are such actions Islamic as proclaimed by these extremist and racist NGOs? Now they are putting up pork as a reward to anyone who could slap the MP, knowing that pork is a non-halal meat to Muslim and to many of the leaders of these extremist and racist NGOs who are Muslims themselves. Can the leaders of these extremist and racist NGOs give the public a clearer picture on their cash and pork offer, on whether the RM500 to RM1200 cash rewards...

An old  report  was taken from  Jakarta Post dated March 22, titled when he was Malaysian defence minister visiting his "homeland" . "Malaysian Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi revealed his Javanese heritage on Thursday in Yogyakarta during his state visit. He said he had Javanese blood as his paternal grandparents originally came from Kulonprogo in Yogyakarta. “I am coming home," Zahid told  The Jakarta Post , adding that he would be staying in Yogyakarta for two days with his wife, after having attended the Jakarta International Defence Dialogue (JIDD) on Wednesday. "While in Yogyakarta, Zahid plans to meet relatives including Yogyakarta Mayor Haryadi Suyuti and friends, including the Yogyakarta sultan's brother, “Prince” Joyokusumo as well as visiting the royal cemetery in Imogiri, Bantul. "Zahid said that his grandparents moved from Kulonprogo to Malaysia in 1932, while his mother's grandfather had come from Ponorogo, East Java,...

With the prime minister and chairman of Barisan Nasional (BN), Najib Razak confirmation and naming of the racist and extremist Perkasa vice-president Zulkifli Noordin as the official BN candidate to contest in the Shah Alam parliamentary seat, it has been proven now, the BN has finally endorse the extreme racist organization as one of the members of the coalition. After so many years of denials after denials, be it from Umno or other BN component parties that Perkasa is not one of theirs at all, and do not want to be associated with that extreme racist group, the BN top leadership has finally decided to accept Perkasa into its fold with the naming of the group's vice-president representing BN to contest in the Selangor state capital. Zulkifli is the incumbent member of parliament for Kulim-Bandar Baharu, who had previously contested and won the seat under the PKR banner but he was later expelled from the party following his indiscipline. His candidacy come hot on the heels r...

In the statement made recently by the Umno vice-president and defense minister "Dr" Zahid Hamidi, it was mentioned that he has reminded the Opposition should not get too emotional and create trouble if it losses the 13th general elections. According to Zahid again, if the Barisan Nasional (BN)-Umno wins the 13th general elections, the Opposition needs to support the decision and if the Opposition wins, then BN would also need to support the decision made by our people. Then, he reminded the Opposition again, "don't create trouble", when he spoke to the press at an MCA function in Hutang Melintang recently. We would like to ask, who was the ones who are creating too many troubles and being so emotional all this while? When Opposition parties took over Penang state in 2008, it was Umno who has instigated a massive demonstration around the island in an attempt to topple the state's newly elected state government. Why didn't Zahid send in the troops t...

Timbalan presiden Umno Muhyiddin Yassin telah memberikan satu amaran yang keras kepada rakyat di dalam perhimpunan agung Umno yang sedang diadakan, bahawa negara ini akan menjadi porak peranda sekiranya parti-parti pembangkang menang di dalam pilihanraya umum yang akan datang. Siapa yang memberikan amaran itu, maka dialah yang akan porak perandakan negara ini dan dialah yang akan betul-betul memastikan agar negara ini akan menjadi porak peranda dengan huru hara dan pembunuhan akan berlaku. Itulah peringatan terakhir Muhyiddin kepada rakyat jelata sebelum pilihanraya umum ke-13 yang akan menjelang tidak lama lagi. Adakah parti-parti pembangkang bergitu berdaya untuk memporak perandakan negara ini? Selepas pilihanraya umum pada tahun 1969, di mana parti-parti pembangkang telah mencapai siri-siri kemenangan yang begitu memberangsangkan, Umno telah merancang peristiwa 13 Mei dengan rusuhan kaum yang mengakibatkan pembunuhan beramai-ramai, parlimen digantung peranannya, ahli-ahli par...

Wahai Umno dan kesemua NGO-NGO yang diperhamba olehnya, janganlah berlagak-lagak seperti Tuhan. Siapakah kamu-kamu semua untuk memberikan satu ketetapan ataupun sejenis "fatwa" untuk mensabitkan seorang itu bersalah oleh kerana beliau hanya memberikan kenyataan itu berpandukan apa yang tertera di dalam ajaran Al-Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:56). Para pemimpin Umno dan hamba-hamba NGO di bawahnya tidak berhak untuk mengarah ataupun menentukan mana-mana pihak yang bersalah dan dihukum. Kalaulah seseorang itu benar-benar bersalah, sudah lama orang tersebut telah menerima akibatnya. Tetapi kenapa sehingga kini, orang tersebut masih selamat berada di bumi ini? Janganlah digunakan nama Tuhan untuk cuba menjatuhkan "hukuman" itu mengikut undang-undang "Umno". Itu lagi berdosa, kerana mempergunakan nama Tuhan untuk tujuan-tujuan keji lagi jahat! Apakah dari kalangan para pemimpin Umno tersebut tidak punyai sebarang kesalahan selama lebih 50 tahun memerintah ne...

The recently concluded Bersih 3.0 rally organized by various non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and supported by the opposition coalition Pakatan Rakyat at the Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur was clearly an attempt to topple the BN federal government, says Umno president and BN chairman Najib Razak. Yes, it is true that Bersih 3.0 has attempt to do even more because the BN federal government under the Umno dominance has initially planned to topple our nation's democracy, judiciary system and the Federal Constitution in order to turn this country into a dictatorship under the BN of Umno dominance. The NGOs and opposition inspired Bersih 3.0 rally was aimed to save our beloved nation from further destruction by Umno and its leaders who are so corrupted, great at power abuse, mismanagement, brutal, violent, racist, terrorizing and showing no respect at all to our nation's rule of law, human rights, social justice and the Federal Constitution at large. Therefore, it is ...

According to MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek, racial harmony in this country has gone downhill since the 2008 general elections. Dr Chua said the cause of the declining goodwill among the people was due to Pakatan Rakyat politicians who continue to politicize issues on race and religion even after gaining control of several states, coupled with non-stop politicking from them. Dr Chua also said the opposition used every opportunity to turn everything into racial and religious issues. The MCA president must have lost his memory. He has forgotten that it was Umno who has threatened the entire nation with bloodshed, waving their dagger aiming at other races warning them not to go overboard, wanting to burn down a Chinese Town Hall, organized a racial riot in an attempt to overthrow the Penang state government, instigated a coup d'etat in Perak and toppling its state government. Dr Chua also forgotten that it was Umno who has come up with the so-called "Ketuanan Melayu" or Mala...

In the Star newspaper yesterday, it has been reported that Penang Umno secretary Azhar Ibrahim had deliberately called the DAP-led Pakatan state government a communist administration. The reason for Azhar's communist label on the Penang state government was because the administration had supported the protest of detention of the 6 members of the Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) at the Sungai Dua police station in Butterworth earlier before they were later unconditionally released without being fully acquitted after intense public preasure. So, for this reason, Azhar linked PSM as communist and therefore, whoever supports or in solidarity with PSM are also labelled as communist. What Azhar didn't realize until today is that he is also one of the feared Nazi leader who expounded racism, violence, corruption and issue threats against those who disagree with the Umno's quest for a one-race supremacy rule and political monopoly in this nation. What is the difference between the Umn...

By Lim Mun Fah The anti-rare earth plant peaceful rally was threatened by violence, Malay right group Perkasa members openly used violence against a photographer during a rally and lawmakers have received dead threats via short messages on mobile phones. Today, even the Home Minister has received a dead threat letter attached with two bullets. How could such terrible incident take place in Malaysia, a country being ranked 19th in the Global Peace Index (GPI), which is also the highest place among Southeast Asian countries? We condemn any forms of violence and regard all perpetrators as heinous devils. However, perpetrators always believe that they are morally correct and regard all who do not agree with them as devils deserve to be dealt with extreme measures. We cannot tolerate nor ignore such wanton violence and threats. If we tolerate and remain silent, it would mean that we have equated violence to justice while indirectly encouraging more terrorist acts that threaten so...

Today, a report in a local newspaper indicated that both the Penang Press Club and Penang Media Club were against the ban on Utusan Malaysia instituted by the Penang State Government and said that the action by the state was against press freedom. Against press freedom? Let us ask these two news clubs again. Do you think that the actions by Utusan in publishing messages and articles instilling hatred and promoting extreme racism in our country is a correct kind of journalistic work? Does Utusan really practices journalistic principle in their reporting and article publications? We really hope that the presidents of the two news clubs would think about it all over again whether Utusan is really a newspaper publisher or not. To most of the people, Utusan is no more a newspaper publisher nor a people's paper at all. This Umno-own newspaper does not belong to the category of a good journalism. It likes to instill hatred, promote disunity, encourage provocation, anger and violence, enha...

A Perak Umno state assemblyman for Slim Mohd Khusairi Talib had recently told the press that he felt so much offended and insulted by two DAP state assemblymen, A.Sivanesan (Sungkai) and V.Sivakumar (Tronoh) who wore their traditional Indian attires Jippa and Dhoti during the state legislative assembly sitting. Just what the heck this racist Mohd Khusairi is trying to prove? Wearing a traditional cultural attire would insult you or the state legislative assembly? Which provision in the standing orders of the state legislative assembly or the state constitution says that state assemblymen are barred from wearing traditional attires or lounge suite during the state legislative assembly sitting? No, nothing was mentioned at all pertaining the attires that are compulsory during the state legislative assembly sittings. It is just that Mohd Khusairi is a racist who belongs to a racist-based political party called Umno. Umno is the political party who started the May 13 1969 racial riots th...

Well, the BN federal government has already decided today that they would go ahead with plans to construct two nuclear plants in our nation despite wide protests from our people here. What else could they think of? Only instant profit is in their mind. Never mind with the people as they won't give them any benefit other that uncertain votes. But with nuclear power, the BN leaders could use it as a bargaining tool to ensure they would remain in power longer. Generating nuclear power is easy and cheap, but haven't they consider the consequences to our nation in the long run? Haven't they look into how to dispose all these nuclear waste in future? Are you all going to just throw it in our backyard or neighbourhood? We are not going to let that happen! We all still could remember during the reign of former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammad who initially allowed nuclear waste from Taiwan to be delivered and disposed in Bukit Merah but his attempt was cut short following mass prot...

By Mariam Mokhtar Day after day, Malays are bombarded with messages that they are the ‘supreme race’ (Ketuanan Melayu), that they are the rightful owners of this land and that under Pakatan, Malaysia will be ‘sold’ to the Chinese – not just any old Chinese, but the Singaporean Chinese, as if that was the benchmark for the worst form of Chinese! These insecure Malays, whose ages range from their teens to their seventies, and who come from both the rural and urban communities, firmly believe that “the Chinese will overrun this country”. Somehow, the Indians are not perceived as a threat. When will the Malays understand that the stories about the Chinese taking over are just lies that they are fed, by Umno? The truth is that Umno and other extremist groups are afraid of losing their hold on the Malays and by extension, their grip on power. The confident independent Malays easily disregard this facetious statement. But what about less assured ones who wholeheartedly believe that they will ...

The racist and extremist in this country are reigning supreme and acting above the law. This is confirmed by the fact that the Umno-led BN federal government had failed to act against these dangerous and violent groups who are deemed threatening the national security of our nation. When there are various demonstrations and out of control rallies where most of them are without police permits, like the Perkasa's threat of violence, blood bath and so on, the Umno's cow-head demonstration to protest the construction of the Hindu temple, the no-permit racist and quite violent like demonstrations in Penang and Selangor accusing the state governments of abandoning the New Economic Policy and abolishing Malay rights, you know what did the home minister and Umno vice-president Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein said? He strongly defended these law breakers, violent extremists, racist monsters and said they have their every rights to demonstrate and show their displeasure if their voice are not ...

Legal experts disputed today the Selangor palace’s claim over executive power, declaring that it is the Menteri Besar — and not the Sultan — who is the state’s chief executive. They claimed that in the Sultan’s role as the constitutional monarch, the Ruler should be viewed as a “figure of unity” and any attempt by him to wade into state administrative matters could be misconstrued as a political move. Lawyer Chan Kok Keong said that the Sultan had no executive power and maintained that the mentri besar was the prime authority in any matter concerning the state administration. Chan's statement was also later affirmed by a constitutional expert, Abdul Aziz Bari in his latest statement today afternoon. Therefore, what has been claimed by the Sultan's private secretary Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani that the Sultan of Selangor is the state's chief executive was baseless and aimed at misleading the people and the entire nation. Again, we want to affirm that not only the Sultan of Sela...

By Adib Zalkapli National Union of Journalists (NUJ) president Hata Wahari blamed Utusan Malaysia editors and what he called their racial rhetoric for the daily’s declining sale. He also called on the authorities to act against Utusan Malaysia editors for fanning racial sentiment in its reports. “Utusan Malaysia which used to enjoy daily circulation of 350,000 has now become government’s propaganda tool in playing up racial issues and creating discord among the people of various races,” said Hata (picture) in a statement today. “NUJ Malaysia also calls on the authorities to act against the chief editor and other editors of Utusan Malaysia for undermining racial harmony in the country,” he added. Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) figures for the full year ended June 30, 2010 showed that Utusan Malaysia’s circulation dropped from 181,346 to 170,558, or a drop of 5.9 per cent. “NUJ Malaysia hopes that the chief editor and editors of Utusan Malaysia will revert to the objectives of the ne...

Before we begin with this, let us recall what had Lim Guan Eng said during last week's Pakatan Rakyat National Convention in Seberang Perai, Penang. During the Pakatan Convention, the DAP Secretary-General and Penang Chief Minister had mentioned that there are two categories of Malaysians in our country right now, that is the True Malaysian while the other is False Malaysian. Guan Eng was correct to mention and differentiate in such a way as it was his sacred duty as a responsible political leader to tell the voters and general public to be aware of and to stay away from such negative political elements. Well, those who had felt the pain because of those statements had responded. They are the leaders of BN, particularly Umno and their newspaper called Utusan Malaysia. BN, Umno and Utusan Malaysia had responded because they had already felt the pain of being exposed, eventhough the DAP leader did not directly name the culprits', because they knew that they have been carrying out...

We had enough of all those day to day "sandiwara" by the Umno-led BN federal government, claiming that they are serious in reaching to all faiths in order to promote racial and religious harmony in this country. Stop all those nonsensical plans or proposals of establishing only a committee, special committee or sub-committee level of panel to deal with matters especially of those involve the interest of the general public and our nation. These committee level kinds of panel are nothing but a mere political gimmick. The minister in the prime minister's department Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon who is in charge of national unity and integration is in fact being kicked around here and there like a ball just to satisfy the lust of the top Umno leaders. Like we had mentioned earlier, eventhough he is in charge, he is completely powerless as he cannot even instruct his own government to get rid of extremism in its structures and come up with a full force empowering national unity, emp...

The statement made by the deputy prime minister cum Umno deputy president (no need to mention his name at all), saying that PKR and its leader Anwar Ibrahim were the ones who created disunity in the Malay community. We wish to respond and inform the people that what this guy mentioned yesterday was totally wrong and his aim was to confuse the people and the general public on the current political situation. Right now, the entire segment of the Malay community are confused and not united all just because of Umno and no one else. If they still insist that it was PKR who did it, ask them this question: Who rule this country for more than 50 years since independence? Not only this, even the so-called New Economic Policy (NEP) that Umno introduced decades ago split the community into two right in front of our eyes i.e. the Malay elites and the Malay commoners. All of Umno's policies from the beginning till today had indeed divided the entire communities in this country. Today, they are ...
