夸年庆祝何须狂欢？

根据报道，夸年庆祝迎接2010年，槟城执法单位将出动4千警察，联邦后备队和警卫团员。这么大的阵容，乃随着几天前在该岛的圣诞节前夕欢庆群众狂欢失控，殴打警察和警卫队员。

至于在其他主要城市，没有确实数据将出动多少上述执法人员，但肯定也数目庞大。

我认为送旧迎新并不需要狂欢，年年都过年，应该过得更有意义。人们狂欢迎接新年，是否意味着新的一年是好年，值得大事迎接？前面一年是未知数，是好是坏只有天知道。到那年快要结束时，或许不少人会因所发生的事怨天怨地呢！

对于那些家中有年少女儿的更必须关注，因为新年前夕这一天也是最多女生失身的一天。所以狂欢并不是最好的庆祝形式。我很赞赏一些宗教团体如基督教佛教等，教友聚集在会堂作见证数算一年获得的恩典，并为自己，别人和国家祷告祝福。这般未雨绸缪的夸年庆祝形式将给能力教友应变来年的突发事件。

我希望国人能够一年比一年更有文化美德，这样我们做事情将以秩序为前提。国家出动大批的执法人员说明什么呢？就是说明有人还须要受到别人以武力来管制他们！国人经常投诉国家治安越来越猖獗，其实不法的事增多，不少国人也必须为这样不安的社会负一些责任。人们选择狂欢，国家必须动用警察对付这样的不守法行为。这样，国人纳的税，就是这样花费在无谓和无聊的开销上，国人是否能够让警方免却这样的行动，省下的时间可以更勤于去巡逻街道，岂不是更好？

圣诞节的主要人物

“圣诞”是指耶稣的诞生，全世界公认落于12月25日的圣诞节并不是耶稣诞生
的日子。但日期并不是基督徒认为重要的课题，我们乃以耶稣诞生的意义为重点。对于耶稣的诞生，笔者欲简述它牵连的人物，以传达上帝的启示。

（一）加百列－报告好消息的天使长

加百列首先向马利亚显现，告诉她上帝要使用她的身体怀胎救主，所生的儿子
将取名为“耶稣”。耶稣有这些特征：1）他要为大，称为“至高者的儿子”。2）上帝把他祖大卫的位给他（犹太人最尊敬大卫王）。3）他要作雅各家的王，直到永远（“雅各”就是“以色列”－以色列人将最后全家得救）。4）他的国也没有穷尽－耶稣建造的天国将持续地扩展（已经两千年了，圣经仍然是全世界最畅销的书，教会还是继续的增加）。

加百列再继续向马利亚的未婚夫约瑟显现，告诉他马利亚所怀的孕是从圣灵来
的。她生下的儿子耶稣要将自己的百姓从罪恶里救出来。“耶稣”这名字的意思是“救主”。“百姓”，狭义来说是“以色列人”；广义来说是“全世界的人”，因为世人都从一对夫妇亚当和夏娃而出的。世人都犯了罪，耶稣不要我们死在罪恶过犯里，他要救我们。

（二）马利亚－蒙大恩的女子

马利亚的确是一个蒙大恩的女子：1）她被上帝选中，成为怀救主的母亲。2）
她宁愿承受众人藐视的“未婚先孕”的罪名，也不违背上帝的旨意。从“遵从人的意思”和“遵从上帝的旨意”两者之间的抉择，有什么还比后者更蒙福的呢？所以马利亚接受了使命，还唱出这样的歌：“我心尊主为大，我灵以上帝我的救主为乐。因为他顾念他使女的卑微；从今以后，万代要称我有福。”不过，马利亚并不比耶稣更大，因为她只是一个完成上帝的计划的一个器皿。

（三）约瑟－从怀疑到相信的好男子

马利亚怀孕时，她已经跟约瑟订婚了。他以为马利亚对他不忠，想静悄悄地与
她切断婚约，但加百列告诉他真相后他就勇敢地娶她过门。他是一个负责任的丈夫，结婚后没有跟妻子行房，直至耶稣诞生后为止。他也是一个负责任的父亲，干他作木匠的老本行来养家，也带着耶稣继承他的职业。

（四）一群天使－欢呼雀跃的天兵

耶稣诞生当晚一个天使来到一块野地，当时主的荣光四面照着一群牧羊的人。
他们看了感到惧怕，但天使安抚他们，并向他们报告救主诞生的消息：“你们会看见一个婴孩，包着布，卧在马槽里，那就是记号了。”接着一群天兵同那天使欢呼雀跃地歌颂：“在至高之处荣耀归与上帝，在地上平安归与他所喜悦的人。”世人要平安，就要讨上帝的喜悦。该怎样可办到呢？既然上帝差遣他的儿子耶稣降世，就表明是给我们机会接受耶稣作救主的。这样，我们不但有永生，也有平安。耶稣说：“我所赐的平安，不像世人所赐的。”这是怎样的平安呢？就是当我们在患难中，也仍然会心中有大喜乐的那般平安！

（五）牧羊人－一群用行动传福音的信徒

牧羊人听了这么一项好消息，就遵从上帝所指示他们的，去看看所成就的事。
他们寻见了约瑟和马利亚，又有那婴孩卧在马槽里。他们就把救主诞生的消息传开了！各位读者，眼动不如心动，心动不如行动！今天你读到的，就当仿效牧羊人，去寻觅那位救主耶稣吧！不是你先找到耶稣，乃是耶稣先找到你。他已经在两千年前来到世上找你这个迷羊了，你必须以行动去让他把你带回他的羊圈去！

（六）博士－寻找真理的智者

有几位研究天文及星象的专家，看到天上出现一颗特殊的星。以今天的知识水
准来评定他们，他们就是等同今天的博士。他们不让探索真理的机会溜走，赶快收拾包袱骑着骆驼跟着那颗星行走。人有学问不等于他们就有知识，真正的知识来自上帝。敬畏上帝是知识的开端，也是智慧的开端。上帝给人类最特出的头脑，乃是要我们用来看到世上有一位上帝。我们怎样知道这位上帝？我们看看大自然，就可以知道有一位创造者创造了它们。博士千里迢迢，用了约两年的时间，终于找到了耶稣。今天你读到的这篇文章，就是上帝为你预备的一颗“星星”。如果你能够仿效几个博士跟着星星指示你走的路的话，你最终会找到那位救主耶稣的。

（七）耶稣－真正的圣诞节主角

许多人模糊了焦点，只知道圣诞节就是圣诞老人、圣诞树、烤火鸡，及叮当铃
等，不过它们不是圣诞节的主角。上述的人物非常重要，但他们也不是主角，而是带我们到那位真正的主角面前的。这位主角就是主耶稣基督！圣诞节的信息是：“上帝爱世人，甚至将他的独生子耶稣赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。”这个圣诞节，你可以收到上帝送给你的一份贵重礼物－耶稣基督。有耶稣就有永生和平安，这份礼物是为你预备的。你只需说：“上帝，我要接受这份礼物。”这样，从这个圣诞节开始，“圣诞节”对你而言就比以往更有意义了！

还羡慕白色的圣诞吗？

对于我们住在热带的人们，不少人在圣诞节期间羡慕北半球的人能享受白色圣诞。但这一年，北半球人们却求老天爷开恩，祈祷不要降浓浓的雪。

暴风雪导致欧洲几十人冻死，欧、美、加、北亚许多地方学校停课，活动停止，而商家大吐苦水，因为圣诞节前的黄金星期六却因暴风雪而做不到生意。

电影经常都呈现浪漫的雪景，使到没有经历下雪的人们都很向往。可是在下雪的地方，人们不一定喜欢下雪，反而对它感到厌倦。譬如汽车开不动啦，路滑车祸增加啦，出门不方便啦，活动减少而收入也因此减少啦，保暖的费用增加啦....等。至于从热带移民过去的，他们会告诉你起初对下雪有新鲜感而兴奋，但后来却有点讨厌它了。

因此热带人们冬天去旅游一下回来就好了，若经常住在那里过白色圣诞就是苦事一桩。

其实起初上帝创造的天地并不是这样的，无论春夏秋冬，热带温带寒带，昼夜的气候环境都宜人。现在地球已经被人们糟蹋得重伤了，人们见证气候和环境的变化。四季的日期开始混乱。今年冬天来得特别早，北京在11月初提前一个月开始第一场雪。我国的东北季侯风也提前来到，并且今年杪特别多雨，全马都过一个湿圣诞。

气候环境变化，日后怎样变化，真的人算不如天算！刚结束的哥本哈根气候峰会，只得个“讲”字。百多个国家派代表出席，花费了好几亿美元却没什么解决方案，让一般普罗百姓感到那些去出国“吃风”吧了！同时峰会增加了几百趟载领袖的航班，为地球增加不少的废气。啊，人们还是求天就是自保好了！

不过，科学家的确证实我们的地球是不停在变化的。几年前去加拿大的洛矶山脉旅游，导游说几万年前那些山脉是不存在的，后来地壳移动导致那些山脉形成。我打趣地回答他，几千年后，地壳移动，洛矶山脉就消失，却在马来西亚冒起来，到时大马也就会下雪了！这番话不是可笑的，自然的地球变化嘛！风水轮流转，日后大马人的后代可能会过白色的圣诞也不定，不过，久了他们也会厌倦下雪的吧？

'Malaysia is Zimbabwe by another name'

Many people have migrated, they lost confidence in BN. If Malaysia were to continue ruled by such a bad government, what kind of hope can the citizens expect from the leadership? None at all!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Hazlan Zakaria
Dec 20, 2009 1:32pm


Without mincing his words, political analyst Abdul Aziz Bari (pic) likened those who hold the reins of power in Malaysia to a bunch of 'thugs'.

According to him, these individuals do as they please without proper regard for the law of the land and the percepts laid down in the federal constitution.

NONE"We are like Zimbabwe, just with another name!" stressed the law expert.

Zimbabwe under President Robert Mugabe has earned international infamy over it's questionable policies and use of the legal system and laws to prop up the government.

Elaborating, Abdul Aziz said: "I don't know how else to call them, sometimes we need to call a spade, a spade. What we have is a state of lawlessness, it's like the law of the jungle."

He pointed to the recent overturning of the high court decision regarding the Malaysian Anti Corruption Agency's (MACC) right to interrogate beyond office hours as a glaring example.

"It is painful to hear the court of appeal decision. They are using the provision to overrule the high court, saying it is silent on the matter," he told Malaysiakini.

'Judiciary takes its cue from government'

According to the UIA law professor, the court of appeal's recent decision "is a lame decision and in itself a failure to carry out the court's role, namely to fill the gap left by parliament in the statute."

Abdul Aziz is adamant that "the high court decision is to be preferred as it is closer to justice and the spirit of the constitution."

"It is for the court to fill the gap by making a decision that is closer to fairness and justice," he added, though he bemoaned that in Malaysia, "the judiciary takes its cue from the government."

"When you have a judiciary like what we have, what can we do? In normal circumstances you go to court to compel the parties who refuse to do its legal duty to do it. But not in our case," he said.

What is worse, according to Abdul Aziz, Barisan Nasional is "undermining or simply could not care less about the constitution."

"BN has demonstrated complete disregard for the rule of law and supremacy of the constitution, either the letter or the spirit of it," he said.

Abdul Aziz contends that the Reid Commission's original intent was to propagate federalism, this he said permeates through the entirety of the constitution with the express delineation of powers to the state and the federal government.

On a micro scale, he added, this framework of federalism included the issue of the petroleum royalties and funding for states.

Umno warlords stumbling block to change

Abdul Aziz believes that the BN government is clearly going against the constitution when it set up the JPP (Federal Development Department) which is ultra vires of the defined rights of the states.

He explained that the state has rights to certain grants and funding the federal government sans such 'intermediaries'.

The use of the Emergency Ordinance to define territorial waters in the Kelantan oil royalty issue, he said, is another example of the BN government's disregard for the law.

"Why not refer to the Petroleum Act or the Law of The Sea?" he asked.

In a similar vein, he also criticised the federal government's 'play acting' in making much ado when giving assistance and aid during natural disasters to opposition held states,

"Why the furore, it is their duty anyway, as described in the constitution," he said.

According to Abdul Aziz, this rot of lawlessness goes right down to BN's core which is Umno.

He is of the opinion that the Umno warlords cannot be reformed and as long as they exists, Umno cannot be reformed.

"They simply don't want to do it," he said.

Evangelist Oral Roberts dead at 91

It was 1995, I was there at his church. He preached on "Let's go over to the other side". It was the story about Jesus sleeping at a storm (Lk 8:22-25). He demonstrated by sleeping on a pillow. The sermon is still so clear in my mind. That time after his preaching he was also raising fund for church building. Lots of money was pledged. He had the charisma on that. Oral Roberts, I missed you. Rewards are installed for you in Heaven.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

CNN | 12/16/2009 10:38 AM
(CNN) -- Evangelist Oral Roberts, founder of the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and Oral Roberts University, died Tuesday from complications of pneumonia in Newport Beach, California, his spokeswoman said. He was 91.

Roberts' son, Richard, and daughter Roberta were at his side, spokeswoman Melany Ethridge said in a statement.

Roberts was hospitalized Monday following a fall on Saturday, in which he suffered broken bones, Ethridge said earlier, adding he was being treated for pneumonia.

There will be a private interment, the statement said. Arrangements for a public memorial service in Tulsa, Oklahoma, are pending.

"Oral Roberts was a man of God, and a great friend in ministry," the Rev. Billy Graham said in a statement Tuesday. "I loved him as a brother. We had many quiet conversations over the years."

Granville Oral Roberts was born into poverty in Bebee, Oklahoma, on January 24, 1918, according to a brief biography released by Ethridge. His Christian ministry began with what he described as his own miracle healing of tuberculosis at age 17.

Roberts pastored churches in Oklahoma and Georgia and preached at revivals around the country while studying at Oklahoma Baptist University and Phillips University in Oklahoma, according to the biography.

In 1947, he founded the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association in Tulsa, "and began conducting crusades across America and around the world, attracting crowds of thousands -- many who were sick and dying and in search of healing," the biography said. "Through the years, he conducted more than 300 crusades on six continents" and "laid hands" on an estimated 2 million people, according to association officials.

In 1954, he brought television cameras into services, providing what he liked to call a "front-row seat to miracles" to viewers, the biography said. He later began a television program, initially called "Oral Roberts Presents." The ministry's daily program, now called "The Place for Miracles," can be seen on more than 100 television stations, multiple cable and satellite networks and the Internet, Ethridge said.

"If God had not in his sovereign will raised up the ministry of Oral Roberts, the entire charismatic movement might not have occurred," said Jack Hayford, president of the California-based International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, in the statement. "Oral shook the landscape with the inescapable reality and practicality of Jesus' whole ministry. His teaching and concepts were foundational to the renewal that swept through the whole church."

Roberts founded the Abundant Life Prayer Group in 1958 "to address the around-the-clock needs of those suffering and requesting prayer," according to the biography. Today, prayer partners at Abundant Life continue to receive calls 24 hours a day. The group has received more than 23 million phone calls for prayer, the biography said.

Oral Roberts University was founded in 1963, built on 500 acres in Tulsa and dedicated four years later by Graham, according to the biography. Graduate schools including medicine, nursing, dentistry, law, education and theology were later added. Roberts served as school president until 1993 but remained a chancellor until his death.

He remained involved in his evangelistic association as much as his health allowed, Ethridge said Monday. His son, Richard Roberts, currently serves as president.

In 1977, Roberts said he had a vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus, who told him to found the City of Faith Medical and Research Center. The biography said the center was aimed at "merging the healing power of medicine and prayer."

In 1986, Roberts announced that God would "call him home" unless he raised $8 million to send medical missionaries from the center -- an announcement that was widely publicized. He wound up raising $9.1 million, but the center closed in 1989. However, the biography said, it left "a lasting impact on the understanding by many medical professionals of the importance of treating the whole person -- body, mind and spirit."

In addition, Roberts wrote more than 130 books, the biography said. "His book 'The Miracle of Seed Faith' has more than 8 million copies in circulation. This book's key principles -- God is your source, sow your seed out of your need, and expect a miracle harvest -- formed a fundamental part of Roberts' ministry and legacy," the biography said.

Before his death, Roberts said, "After I'm gone, others will have to judge how well I've obeyed God's command not to be an echo but to be a voice like Jesus," the statement said. "As far as my own conviction is concerned, I've tried to be that voice with every fiber of my being, regardless of the cost."

Responding to news of Roberts' death, Graham said Tuesday: "Just three weeks ago, I was privileged to talk to Oral on the telephone. During the short conversation, he said to me that he was near the end of his life's journey. I look forward to the day that I will see Oral and Evelyn Roberts again in heaven -- our eternal home."

Roberts wife, Evelyn, died in 2005 after the couple had been married more than 66 years. Roberts is survived by his son and daughter and their spouses, along with 12 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, Ethridge said.

老虎伍兹婚外情的联想

我并不打高尔夫球，也不是运动明星和娱乐圈艺人之类的“粉丝”，不喜欢看八卦新闻。但高尔夫球名将老虎伍兹的婚外情新闻近日红遍多国平面和电子媒体主版，想避也避不开！

老虎似乎有天赋的高尔夫球的判断力，经常很容易地把球拨进洞，这本领也让他飞黄腾达。遗憾成就竟然是他致命伤！往往不少成功男人，经常就是难逃3个G厄运的－荣誉（Glory）来了，金钱（Gold）就来，跟着女人（Girl）也来。除非一个男人有自制力，否则荣誉就是他跌倒的前奏曲了！

老虎的婚外情曝光后，跟着他以前的性丑闻和拥有过的情妇也纷纷曝光。每段婚外情都是一样的，老虎也不例外，即它对伴偶和子女造成最大的伤害。虎嫂决定离婚，感叹何竟搞到妻离子散？现在又曝出老虎涉禁药，真是身败名裂！

有爱有尊重家庭便幸福

我很认同老虎初恋情人格拉韦尔的评语：“一个家不会因为金钱而幸福，一个家会因为爱和尊重而幸福。我的先生非常爱我，绝对不会伤害我，这比金钱更重要。”不过，老虎的跌倒，可以供大家一件负面的教材。

太多时候，人会羡慕那些拥有很多物质享受的家庭，以为自己的丈夫或父亲不能提供我们同样的“幸福”。殊不知生命不在乎家道丰富！往往就是这样的比较蒙蔽了人的心眼，身在福中不知福。家中有爱，大家彼此尊重，每个成员尽角色的责任，那就是幸福矣！天天淡茶便饭却融洽相处胜过天天大鱼大肉却大吵大闹！

一个体现成功的人，却那么迅速及难看地失败实在令人惊讶。人经常的错误乃以为那在一个竞争舞台成功的人，也可能在其他人生舞台活出一个超人生活的。我疑惑，什么导致老虎辜负他的家人呢？他的生活中难道没有人对他负有责任的（accountable）吗？难道没有人知道老虎怎样花他的私人时间，发觉他乖离正轨而感到自由或有勇气去向他讲一些良心话吗？

身边须有能负有责任的人

我认为成功的其一组成部分是“负有责任（accountability）”。生命中能有人可以让我们讲关于我们的害怕，软弱及脆弱之真话的话，那就是一件天赐的礼物。那个人不但是在疑惑或惊吓侵入时给予我们安慰和鼓励的，并且他是被赋予允许在我们乖离责任及德行时来挑战我们的。

当一个高尔夫球将赢了一场比赛，他的照片就会出现在报纸上。但他并不是单独赢得，他有球童替他提袋子及拾球，有朋友给他指点等。

我们“负有责任”的伙伴是谁呢？当然我们的丈夫或妻子肯定是。然而除了我们的伴偶外，我们应该还有一个人或一些人。所有人在生命都需要有人支持我们，在我们还没有跌入水深火热之处前，这人会帮助我们分担重担，给我们辅导，并向我们讲有道理的话语，使我们及时醒悟。

鄭秀文 破繭飛翔

但愿她常常倚靠主，知足长乐。许多艺人迷失在人海里，他们挣了大把钱，却又迅速流走。他们的感情生活潦倒，好像在拍戏一样。这就是“人生如戏，戏如人生”。只有心中有主耶稣，藉着他赐的智慧过活，人生才会有意义。

鄧明儀 撰 2009年8月
她「閉關」近千日，找回真我，重拾生命意義

她自稱過往的人生像打了死結，為求成功可以健康也不顧；擁有名利，卻一點都不快樂，甚至自覺可悲。二○○五年演罷《長恨歌》，猛然醒覺很想了解自己，於是「閉關」近千日深切省思，重組生命的意義。今天，她懂得愛人，更懂得愛自己。

鄭秀文十八歲推出第一張個人專輯便嶄露頭角，其後成為歌壇及影壇天后，活在人羣簇擁中，漸漸迷失自己。為了減肥，曾七天內只吃兩個蘋果充飢；為了工作，可以一週不眠不休。她不停鞭策自己向前，忘了做人的基本需要。「我十多歲就踏足娛樂圈，幾年之間賺了很多錢。我擁有很多，卻也迷失在物質和虛榮的世界裏，跟隨別人的價值觀走，用盡力氣追求物慾，失了本性。」

她為了突破自己，一改過往慣演的愛情喜劇戲路，接拍關錦鵬執導的文藝片《長恨歌》，為了演好角色，不惜在攝氏零下低溫穿着單薄的旗袍，又強迫自己學習標準國語，親自配音。「我對自己要求非常嚴苛，工作上力求完美，要做到百分之二百才肯交貨。我把得失看得很重，常跟自己競賽，要成為最優秀、最卓越的人。這種心態非常影響我的心情，令我持續地很不開心。」最終她把自己逼進一個力不從心的瓶頸，引爆了長期積壓下來的不快樂，這才發現︰光鮮的軀殼內滿是缺點，心靈像跌入黑洞。經過拍《長恨歌》及事業起落後，她悟出一個道理，就是︰人不能只為成敗而活。

鄭秀文形容自己是走失了的一隻劣羊，迷途知返並誠懇地向上天懺悔禱告。其後近千日，她謝絕所有工作和訪問；除了外遊，每天靜下來看書作畫，生活從未如此簡單愜意。「我很喜歡畫畫，無奈不懂，十多年來都不敢嘗試。但在那段日子，我竟然拿起畫筆和水彩顏料畫了起來。我忽然明白，不一定要畫得漂亮才能畫。後來我放下枷鎖，放膽去畫，用畫畫來表達生命，用畫畫去醫治自己。我也明白了︰凡事不必力求完美，享受過程中的滿足感，比別人怎樣看待你的作品更重要。」

從前的鄭秀文形象百變，演唱會上一顰一笑都虜獲了萬千歌影迷的心，表面上的確風光；但另一個她卻如巨石背面的青苔。今天，她視名利及成功如浮雲，追求的是生命豐盛。「以前的華衣美服，於我生命中有多高的價值呢？拿一個港幣六萬元的手袋，比拿一個六百元的手袋，是否真的更開心？能提高人的本質嗎？

「以前的我會突然有很多不必要的情緒，對世界有許多慾求，我稱之為心魔；現在我明白『想要』跟『需要』的分別了。很多東西你都想要，但都是你所需要的嗎？從瘋狂購物找到虛榮和驕傲的日子已經過去，如今我學會事事都以『需要』先行，生活簡單、開心而舒服。其實這更貼近我的本性，像尋回了自己。」

二○○七年十二月九日，鄭秀文接受浸禮成為基督徒。在浸禮上她作見證說：「我習慣活在一堆價值觀中，以為成就越大，自我存在的價值就越高。當我擁有很多人人渴求的東西，卻發現自己內心一無所有，心是空的。於是，我決定暫停這場永無止境的追求，放下建立十多年的事業，放下成就，我要看看我的生命還剩下什麼？」

她戒了菸，改掉壞脾氣，探訪非洲、寮國、蒙古、四川等地的貧民，助養了十多名貧童；今年四月又跑到雲南偏遠山區，為彝族小孩教書九天。「我去到山區為他們祈禱，唱聖詩，希望在他們的生命中留下小小的種子。我很慶幸能踏出這一步，算是播種期吧。我覺得：你給世界留下什麼，比你在世上得到什麼更重要。

「現在我會珍惜表達愛的機會，喜歡跟身邊的人祈禱，喜歡幫人代禱。每替一個人祈禱，便在小本子上蓋一個印章，現在已蓋了很多。對我來說，每一個印章都很有價值；沒有什麼比代禱更能夠真正表現對一個人的愛。」

她不但學會了忍耐、包容、寬恕、謙卑，而且可以完全放下，因為她相信神早已為她安排一切。「我已能用一種泰然處之的態度去接受發生在我周圍的一切。很多人問我的婚姻，我會說：神要我今年就今年，要我四十歲就四十歲。只要真心交託，便再沒有煩惱。至少現在每天醒來，我都很喜歡自己，懂得去接受自己的缺點和不完美，也不介意別人看到我的軟弱。」舊日的她正一寸一寸地逝去，新造的她時刻帶着笑容，喜樂洋溢於光潔的素顏上。

气候峰会成立世界单一政府

在哥本哈根举行的联合国气候变化峰会，能否带来医治地球的好消息？其实峰会发起人是世界超级富强者，它们甚至对强大国家领袖乃有一定程度影响力的。

超级富强者最近两年广泛宣传全球暖化的信息，气候变化峰会让许多国家被燃起拯救地球的希望。这个峰会规模大，但却没有供出席国一份签署的契约，不由得让人质疑此举乃醉翁之意不在酒！

“全球化”已经被喊十多年了，总不能永远这样喊口号下去，必须成立政体落实它吧？看来藉着一个共同的课题，是最佳整合世界各国合作的管道吧？所以这群要吞霸世界的野心家，乃以解决全球暖化为名，却以成立世界单一政府为实。

世界单一政府的势力将集中在欧洲，欧盟的不断扩展乃大势所趋。这免不了让人质疑诺贝尔奖近年被参杂了政治的隐喻议程，以奥巴马被颁诺贝尔和平奖为例，他刚坐位即被提名，不得不使人质疑他一早被安排获奖。当一项国际权威的鉴证组织参杂了政治时，其信誉将逐渐被打折扣。无论是奖赏占米卡特批评伊拉克，或奖赏戈尔推动全球暖化醒觉运动，组织都避免不了涉嫌利用奖项作为一项政治工具来影响美国政治。倘若诺贝尔在天之灵能看到地上的事的话，他肯定感叹受委托者已经乖离了他的原意。

现在挪威支持奥巴马重塑美国，以致它更像欧盟。若一个政体欲控制全世界，没有征服美国是不能成功的。诺贝尔奖颁给奥巴马是为了报答他驯服不受拘束的美国成为欧盟的大家庭。世界单一政府的成立乃倒转美国革命，把势力转回欧洲，殖民这个世界最强大国家。奥巴马在此气候变化峰会将认同各国国家主权的瓦解，成立一个所谓带给人类希望的世界单一政府新政体。

Chestnuts Roasting on a Copenhagen Fire

The hearts of men are desperately wicked above all things. The Rich and Mighty ones will have no desire to help the world. They are only interested in ruling the world. So the gathering in Copenhagen is another gimmick by them. Do you know why the One-world Government is able to set up without much hassle? Simply because most heads of different countries are brainless dudes!

Copenhagen is on fire this week, and there's far more heating up than just the climate.

Heads of state and others are gathering this week at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, but bonfires already have been blazing for weeks on that European front.

Let me see whether I can summarize the chestnuts roasting on that Copenhagen fire.

Shocking e-mail exchanges from scientists at an eminent global warming research center in the United Kingdom have proved that key climate change scientists have suppressed evidence in order to "trick" the public or "hide the decline" of global temperatures.

Going Rogue by Sarah Palin FREE

Rather than focus on the audacity of the ClimateGate cover-up, Obama's top science adviser, John Holdren, downplayed the e-mails, informing Congress that the controversy involved a small group of scientists. And others, including Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., blamed the hackers who exposed the e-mails rather than the scientists who deceived the world with false global climate reports.

Similarly, the U.N. was caught recently deleting documents that would disclose how member states are leading (or not leading) the way in self-greening efforts.

The scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters documented that ice melt on Antarctica was the lowest in 30 years during 2008-09, a fact being ignored intentionally by NASA.

A U.S. scholar is threatening to sue NASA in order to prompt the agency to release climate change data, which he says have been manipulated here just like in Britain.

Officials in the Environmental Protection Agency gagged one of their own senior researchers after the 38-year employee submitted an internal critique of the EPA's climate change position.

Unlike the U.S., China and India already have opposed foreign climate governance because it would jeopardize their national sovereignty.

Nearly two months ago, Christopher Monckton, once science adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, warned us that the real purpose of the conference is more about global government than it is about global warming.

In my former column titled "Obama's One-World Government," I detailed more than a dozen actual statements in the proposed summit treaty that threaten our national sovereignty, could severely cripple our already depressed economy and are so globally socialistic that they would make even a communist blush.

Al Gore made statements back in July that change will be driven through "global governance."

The U.N.'s climate chief, Yvo de Boer, reported that between $10 billion and $12 billion annually will be needed from developed countries (e.g., the U.S.) through 2012 to "kick-start" things. According to the World Bank, adapting for global warming (e.g., building larger dams and higher bridges) will cost an additional $75 billion to $100 billion a year over the next 40 years. (A business professor at the University of Cambridge says it could be as high as $300 billion.)

A Japanese energy commission revealed that the majority of Japanese scientists reject U.N.- and Western-backed theories of climate change.

Despite Rep. Ron Paul's call for members of Congress to consider the joint opinion of more than 32,000 U.S. scientists -- including more than 9,000 Ph.D.s -- who believe humans likely have little or no part in the creation of "global warming," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs justified the White House's position and waved away opposition by tritely retorting that most people believe in global warming. A recent survey, however, found Americans' belief in global warming has declined and is at a 12-year low.

With 16,500 delegates descending upon Copenhagen -- including 140 aircraft carrying world leaders, heads of state and VIPs -- the U.N. estimates that the 12-day conference will create 40,584 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. And could it be merely coincidental that all these planes are amassing at one place Dec. 7, the very anniversary of Pearl Harbor? Or are these all signs that our real enemies are looming on the horizon?

As I consider all of these global warming quandaries, the questions that keep coming to my mind are:

If there's no final draft of a treaty to sign, why is our president "contributing to global warming" by flying that super-jumbo 747 Air Force One to Copenhagen?

Why does Obama want to require American households to pay possibly more than $3,000 in additional annual taxes to reduce greenhouse emissions?

In the midst of one of America's worst recessions, where is the federal government going to get the billions of dollars needed to fulfill the financial promise to assist developing countries with green initiatives outlined on Page 11 of the 181-page climate summit treaty, which says it would ensure "that global crises, such as the financial crisis, should not constitute an obstacle to the provision of financial and technical assistance to developing countries in accordance with the Convention"?

Hasn't the Obama administration charged enough on the nation's credit cards in its first year in power by its trillions of dollars in bailouts, borrowing and additional government programs, including socialized medicine?

How much more will we take? Or should I say, how much more will they take?

Our government would do well to reconsider and actually live and lead by the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said during his first inaugural address, in 1801: "A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

马华必须自主，勿让外人左右

12月1日《星洲日报》封面标题：“翁：宁输掉一切也要马华自主。有人要革我交长职。”我大力支持翁诗杰这番话，因为如果马华家事都要巫统干涉的话，以后马华就没有自由心志了。请巫统不要多事，想想调转来你们巫统家事，你们会允许他党干涉吗？如果巫统要干涉，请你们让国阵成员党都可以互相干涉方为公平！

翁诗杰不让他党插手为了保护马华的尊严，那才赢得华社的支持。蔡细历也是可用之才，希望他也不让他党来开药方，须知道马华有自己的“医生”。最没有用的是寥中莱，他因为想出位当总会长，所以讨好服从巫统。这样的人一旦带领马华，肯定就处处向巫统叩头的了！

去年大选的教训，希望马华痛定思痛。就是因为在马哈迪手下，马华领袖都不敢对不利华社的政策讲 NO，一概妥协，结果华裔的利益每况愈下。所以华社认为马华已经不适合代表华裔了。现在马华领袖还继续向巫统懦弱，你们还有什么本钱去说服华裔支持你们？

另外翁诗杰说华团不应被富豪左右，说最近出现的一个现象是，一些富豪和权贵花尽心思接近友族，他们这样做都是为了本身的企业和生意。我读了便拍案叫绝！好，讲得妙！

富豪包括商联的锺廷森是何方神圣？这些人只为能够做生意，友族领袖即使不公正，也盲目赞好。这些所谓商联，他们的话不能够代表600多万的华裔。董教总作得对，它们不愿干涉马华课题。商联和其他所谓什么“华团”应该向董教总看齐。
