猎犬态度嚣张地说：“虽然你们的集合是和平展开，但有些动物携带襁褓和年迈老动物出席，这是犯法的！我随时可以扣留你们！”

长颈鹿冷笑答道：“带着毫无威胁的襁褓是犯法？那狮王和豺狼公然引进大量危害健康的毒素来加害小动物们，这种携毒行为算犯法吗？你为何不去扣留它们呢？”

猎犬狂妄地笑道：“为免小动物惹是生非，国家动物园的规则是：‘贩毒者无罪，举报者犯法’。你长期住在这，你不知道吗？”

国阵执政 55 呢还喊拯救国家！？

执政55年还喊 拯救国家！？

“马来西亚前锋报今天报道巫统全国大会主席讲词的头版大标题是‘拯救国家’（SELAMATKAN NEGARA）。这是看来很可笑的，但是也是值得令人深思的大标题．”马来西亚人民党全国副主席辜瑞荣在文告中说。

“可笑，因为一个已经执政一个国家55年的政党竟然在55年后高喊要拯救国家。值得令人深思的是，国家需要拯救意味着这个国家已经面对危机，而必须拯救，也就是说需要进行改变，否则这个国家前途暗淡无光，人民必将生活在苦难中。”文告指出。

“的确，越来越多马来西亚人已经认识到，这个国家确确实实在国阵－－巫统的５５年执政下，国家社会百病丛生，需要动大手术才能获得挽救，这是首相那吉自己也清楚看到的，所以，他的巫统大会演辞标题也打着‘有改革能力的领导，迈向国家宏愿’KEPIMPINAN TRANSFORMATIF MENUJU WAWASAN NEGARA。”

辜瑞荣问到，“是谁造成马来西亚今天面对的危机局面？首相那吉能够讲到做到‘有改革能力的领导，迈向国家宏愿’。”

“答案是明显的，当前国家危机是国阵55年的长时间执政造成的。在国阵－巫统执政下，尤其是经过马哈迪医生22年执政时建立的寻租朋党经济体制，是国家面对危机的根本根源。”

“在处理这个危机时，首相只突出个人形象来赢回已经失去的民心，而不用国阵－巫统这个招牌。首相了解，国阵－巫统是改革不了的。所以，那吉上任时提出经济改革便受到内部的抗拒和强烈反对，他就悄悄放弃，转向废除过时且不得人心的法律条文，如废除内安法令。这样做能够突出改革者形象，又能保存寻租朋党体制和朋党利益。否则，他要面对前首相阿都拉下场。”

马来西亚人民党因此呼吁人民大胆进行改变，推选其他替代力量取代国阵－巫统，才能改变寻租朋党制度，才能改变人民苦难的命运。

林冠英：国英报不提莎姐恐嚇论，“质疑希山干预媒体”

2012-11-29 19:31

• 

（檳城29日讯）檳州首席部长林冠英质疑，多份国文报及西报对於巫统妇女组主席拿督斯里莎丽扎在代表大会上发表恐嚇言论绝口不提，极可能是受到內政部长拿督斯里希山慕丁的指示，以避免巫统在非马来族群的形象受损。

“请希山慕丁回答我的疑问，为何莎丽扎谈及513的言论没有在马来报及西报中出现？是不是有人干预新闻自由，企图粉饰太平？＂

林冠英今日出席檳州发展机构举办的屠妖节庆典后，接受记者访问时，这么说。

他认为，如果確实如此，只能证明巫统为了保住江山，已经不择手段，不惜撒谎、恐嚇，甚至是陷害马来西亚人民来贏得政权。

指莎丽扎低估选民智慧

他也批评，莎丽扎的此番言论是既危险又下流，而且不明智，更是低估选民的智慧，完全凸显出巫统的霸权思维。

莎丽扎昨天在大会上指出：“一旦巫统在大选中被选民拒绝时，占人口多数的马来人绝对不乐见此事，除可能引发政治动荡，甚至导致513事件重演＂。

另一方面，林冠英也恭贺檳第二副首长拉玛沙米號召国內多个非政府组织，使用抗议的力量成功抵挡斯里兰卡总统马欣达拉贾帕克萨入境大马。

他说，大马政府允许背负在斯里兰卡內战期间屠杀淡米尔人罪名的马欣达拉贾帕克萨入境，对印裔族群是一种伤害。

马欣达原计划下个月来马，出席於12月4至6日在柔佛新山举行的世界伊斯兰经济论坛。不过，马欣达已决定取消行程。

林吉祥：反贪廉政大马人主权，“纳吉忽略三大课题＂

2012-11-30 08:46

（吉隆坡29日讯）行动党国会领袖林吉祥说，首相拿督斯里纳吉在巫统代表大会主席政策演词忽略三大重要议题，显示马来西亚有必要在第13届全国大选改朝换代，以使国家有更好的建设。

他发表文告说，纳吉忽略的三大重要国家议题是：宣佈对贪污零容忍，承诺推动廉正施政，全力打击巫统和国內任何贪污腐败行为；贯彻首相“一个马来西亚＂理念和口號，宣佈“马来西亚人民主权＂是巫统的核心宗旨，而非“马来主权＂；充份体现民主风度与爱国精神，把马来西亚打造为，“世界最民主的国家＂，宣佈巫统尊重全体选民的抉择，承诺一旦民联在来临第13届全国大选中获得人民委託，必將和平转移政权。

林吉祥预测大选將会落在明年3月，即4个月內举行。

Shahrizat's May 13 Slur: What a fear-monger she is!

Shame on you, Shahrizat: You are a fear-monger

By Aliran, on 29 November 2012

It is disgraceful that a politician seemingly on the way out has to ressurect the fear factor to shore up her flagging fortunes in Umno.

As a former minister, she should have more sense to be responsible and appreciate the democratic process. Instead, she comes across as someone who is not prepared to accept the verdict of the people in a democratic election if that verdict went against Umno.

Is she planting the seeds of hatred in the minds of Umno members and instigating them to run amok and create havoc?

How does one view her statement when she said at the Wanita Umno Assembly, “If we are no longer in power, we would lose political stability. Certainly, the Malays, the majority in this country, would be unsettled” (Malaysiakini, 28 November 2012).

“I am concerned and worried that this would bring racial tensions that could lead to a repeat of the May 13, 1969 tragedy.”

Is she threatening Malaysians that there will be a recurrence of the May 13, 1969 tragedy if Umno were to lose power? Why should that be so? Is she calling on Umno members to get ready to do the unthinkable if they were forced by the electorate to vacate Putrajaya?

Is she aware of the terrible consequence of rioting following the likely routing of Umno? She doesn’t care to think for a moment of the destruction and the loss of innocent lives that can ensue in such an eventuality. Her concern seems not to be for the well-being of the country and the people but only focused on remaining in power at whatever cost.

This is utterly irresponsible!

Her unintelligent gibberish only bewilders thinking Malaysians. Consider this for a moment when she rambles, “We must address this now if we don’t want to be refugees in our own land. A split in the Malay vote would dull the political power of the Malays.”

How can citizens become refugees in their country? Refugees are people who flee their own country because they no longer feel safe for their lives. Refugees run away to another country for some valid reasons: political oppression, social upheavals, unrest, persecution, absence of rule of law, absence of protection from the government, inability to eke out a livelihood, etc.

Can anyone foresee this ever happening in this country i.e. people being forced to flee? She has to exaggerate this lie to create fear and horror in the minds of unthinking Umno members!

How would “a split in the Malay vote dull the political power of the Malays”? The Malay vote has been split for decades. That has not dulled the political power of the Malays. This goes to show that Umno doesn’t necessarily equate with the Malays, and vice versa. The political reality is much more complex than Umno would like us to believe. Besides, Malays, like any other ethnic group in the country, should instead unite around noble principles of justice, equality and compassion.

Take Kelantan for example. There was and has been a split in the Malay vote but has that dulled the political power of the Malays? Has that forced Umno members to seek refuge elsewhere outside the country?

There was a change in government in Kedah. Has that dulled the political power of the Malays? How many Umno members fled Kedah to seek safer haven elsewhere?

Take the case of Perak that was taken over by the Pakatan Rakyat. In recognising the political reality and the make-up of the polity of this country, Tan Sri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin was appointed the Menteri Besar of Perak. Obviously, Pakatan was very sensitive to the Malay sentiment and did not do anything that could be upsetting. We are not aware if Umno members were involved in any exodus from Perak!

Then there is Penang, which fell to Pakatan Rakyat in March 2008. In keeping with the tradition and original understanding – unlike Malacca – Lim Guan Eng was sworn in as Chief Minister. There was no unrest. There was no flight of refugees from Penang.

So there is no basis to claim that the Malays will become refugees or that their political power will be diminished. What has been established is the fact that change can be peaceful and that the harmony of the country will not necessarily be destroyed.

As long as we accept and respect the political process as a legitimate avenue of expression, political change will be without any untoward incident. By and large, the majority of Malaysians are peaceful, sensible and responsible. However we must be on the lookout for the few who may try and stir up trouble. We should leave them to the police to take care of.

Umno must be desperate if such lies have to be manufactured!

Christians forced to become Muslims by NRD

Christians forced to become Muslims by (little Napoleans in) NRD

By Aliran, on 23 November 2012

Who determines one’s faith – the individual or the NRD? It is obvious that it has to be the individual concerned. The National Registration Department has no business to disagree when a person lays claim to a certain faith.

The NRD’s function is to issue MyKad and it cannot act beyond this function. It is very clear.

But why then is the NRD making the lives of Bumiputra Christians in Sabah and Sarawak miserable (as reported in the Malaysian Chronicle)?

For Christians, it has been one long struggle to claim their rights. To use the word ‘Allah’ was a tussle; to import the Bible in the national language was a problem. Now, even to claim that they are Christians is a formidable challenge.

Many Bumiputra Christians have traditionally used the word ‘bin’ and ‘binti’ in their names. But that does not make them Muslims. They are Christians for all intents and purposes.

Even when they point out that they are Christians, the NRD overrides their objection and lists them as Muslims rather arbitrarily. Who is in a better position to determine the religion of any one – the person concerned or a civil servant in the NRD?

It is most shocking that despite their pointing out that they are not Muslims – but Christians – the NRD refuses to entertain them. This is really ridiculous!

The NRD is insistent that it would continue to list these Christians as Muslims simply because they have ‘bin’ and ‘binti’ in their names. It has stubbornly refused to rectify the mistakes in the MyKad claiming that it would only act upon an order by a Syariah High Court declaring that they are not Muslims. These cretinous Little Napoleons in NRD should realise that ‘bin’ is merely an Arabic term for ‘son of’, while ‘binti’ means ‘daughter of’. So, in general, these terms don’t necessarily indicate that one is a Muslim. If they need reminding, to be Arabic may not necessarily be the same as being Islamic!

But why has this case to be referred to the Syariah High Court when they are in fact not Muslims? What is the NRD up to? What has happened to the PM’s slogan ‘People First’? Can a petty civil servant make a mockery of the PM and his pledge?

When a person applies for the MyKad, isn’t he or she required to fill in a form in which the religion of the applicant is stated? If the officer has any doubt as to the claim, it can be easily cleared up by questioning the applicant over this matter. These Christians must have undergone baptism in a church and there would be records to support their claims. Why wasn’t this taken into consideration? In this way the problem could have been easily solved.

In one recent case even when documentary evidence from the Sabah Islamic Affairs Department was produced stating that the person concerned was not a Muslim according to the Islamisation Register – a fact that was reported to the Syariah Court in Kudat – the NRD still would not rectify the error. It wants the person to go to the Kudat Syariah High Court for a declaration that she is not a Muslim before action could be taken to rectify its mistake.

It is very strange that the NRD is unwilling to accept or respect the evidence produced by the Sabah Islamic Affairs Department. Shouldn’t the word of the Islamic Affairs Department carry some weight?

Why does this matter, in spite of being cleared by the Islamic authority, have to be referred to the Syariah Court, entailing unnecessary delay and expenditure? The Syariah Court had in March last year barred a Christian lawyer, Victoria Jayaseele Martin, from practising in a Syariah court despite having a Diploma in Syariah Law and Practice from the International Islamic University Malaysia, in addition to a University of London law degree.

Going by this precedent, why should these Christians who are non-Muslims be part of the Syariah Court proceedings.

These Christians were not born Muslims nor were they converted Muslims. There is no authoritative evidence to state that they are Muslims.

In the face of this overwhelming evidence in favour of these Christians, on what authority does the NRD insist on listing them as Christians?

Is the NRD a law unto itself? Can it act beyond its scope and make the lives of these Christians miserable?

Because of the unnecessary and irritating behaviour of those in the NRD, these Christians are subjected to numerous problems. Their children cannot be baptised in a church and they cannot get married in a church. They cannot be accorded a Christian burial. Is this fair?

Must they continue to suffer this indignity indefinitely? They need not if they wise up. What they are subjected to is the result of the Barisan Nasional government being too long in power. It has lost its compassion; it has become arrogant; it is unable to recognise the problem or provide a solution. It has become indifferent to their misery.

There is only one answer to get out of this misery: Vote for change!

狮王向草食动物们说：“我们肉食动物没有任何企图要吃掉动物园内的动物。”

母鸡战战兢兢说：“大王，你麾下均是无肉不欢的老虎豺狼，还有终日仇视素食者及怂恿同僚吃肉的秃鹰，它们无时无刻不在打我们的主意。”

狮王拍胸口保证：“你们不要杯弓蛇影，一直幻想肉食动物想要吃掉你们。”

Ambiga to Najib: Debate with Anwar

RK Anand

 | November 26, 2012

The Bersih co-chairperson wants the prime minister to accept the opposition leader's challenge to a debate, saying it will allow Malaysians to judge who is best qualified to lead the nation.

PETALING JAYA: With the next general election being described as the most poignant in the nation’s history, Bersih co-chairperson S Ambiga feels that a debate between Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim is imperative.

Now that Najib had indicated that the polls could be called even next month, she said the debate must be held as soon as possible.

“It is absolutely necessary that a debate takes place. It will give Malaysians the opportunity to gauge which political coalition is best qualified to govern the nation,” she told FMT.

Noting that Najib was fond of talking about United States president Barack Obama, Ambiga urged the former to emulate the latter with regard to the practice of presidential debates in the US.

“As far as Bersih is concerned, Najib ought to take a leaf out of his [Obama's] book and agree to the debate with Anwar,” she said.

She added that the debate could prove beneficial to both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat as it would provide a platform to put their respective policies and manifestos to the test.

Anwar had repeatedly challenged Najib to a public debate but the latter had refused, citing among others that political debates was not part of the Malaysian culture.

Sharing her views on this, Ambiga said the prime minister’s refusal to engage in a verbal jousting match with the opposition leader spoke for itself.

“When a leader refuses to debate, it means that he is not confident about his policies and manifesto, perhaps he can’t defend [BN's policies], only he can answer [why he refuses to debate],” she added.

Ambiga said that Bersih would consider initiating a public petition to determine if Malaysians wished to see the two leaders debate on issues of national importance.

It is understood that the BN camp was also concerned about Anwar’s renowned oratory skills and therefore pitting Najib against him in a televised debate would be political suicide.

Meanwhile, Ambiga also took Najib to task for stating that the general election could be held next month during his address at the launch of the Himpunan Barisan 1Malaysia on Saturday.

The Bersih leader was aghast that the prime minister continued to tease the nation with regard to the election date.

“I find it very disconcerting and irresponsible. The prime minister should not toy with the citizens,” she said, adding that Najib had placed the nation on election mode for years now.

Why fear international observers?
On another matter, Ambiga also expressed astonishment over the prime minister’s critical remarks concerning Anwar’s request to Canberra to observe the election process here.

Najib had asked why the opposition leader had remained silent when Pakatan captured five states in the 2008 general election and dismissed the latter’s plea to Australia as shameless.

“I am astounded that the prime minister thinks it is embarrassing,” said Ambiga. “It is only embarrassing if there is something wrong with the electoral system,” she stressed.

Furthermore, she said that if the election was clean and fair, Putrajaya should not be concerned about the presence of foreign observers.

Pointing out that Malaysia had participated as an observer in other elections, she asked: “Why do we participate in something which we do not believe in?”

“I am very concerned when a government says it is strongly against international observers as it leads me to believe that the polls will not be clean and fair,” she added.

Ambiga also stressed that it was not up to the prime minister to decide on the matter of international observers as this was the prerogative of the Election Commission.

“And the EC previously said it will consider this. If the EC wants to show its independence, it will take a different stand. Any EC worth its salt will have no problems with international observers,” she said.

Clarifying an earlier statement issued by Bersih, Ambiga said while the electoral watchdog was pleased with the EC for setting up a special unit to rid the voter roll of dubious entries, it would
however be meaningless if the unit was not composed of the right individuals.

“We do not trust the EC, we suggest that representatives from each political party be in that unit.

“It is not rocket science, we have enough qualified people who understand the process and can help in cleaning up the roll. The civil society has always offered to help,” she added.

Ambiga also recalled how EC chairman Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof had in April described the Malaysian electoral roll as the cleanest in the world.

“After so many quarters slogged akin to pushing a boulder uphill and presented evidence, now on the eve of the elections, the EC admits the existence of discrepancies.

“So it seems that the public, who do not have the resources, must unearth the problems and only then, the EC will rectify them. In my opinion, this is just eyewash!” she said.

（雪兰莪‧八打灵再也25日讯）由董总號召的“1125和平请愿大会＂获得全国701个政经文教团体支持与出席，近万人齐聚Amcorp Mall前面的大草场（Padang Timur），顶著大太阳反对不利於多元母语发展及有碍民族团结的《2013-2025年教育发展大蓝图初步报告》。

主办单位於1125和平请愿大会结束前，宣佈出席人数达3万人，让这场大会成功举行。

吁赴独立广场支持百里苦行

与此同时，大会也呼吁在场的团体组织代表与社会人士，於下午4时前往独立广场支持“百里苦行反公害运动＂。

定於上午11时开始的1125和平请愿大会，於上午9时已开始见人潮涌现大草场，不管是扶老携幼或三五知己，大家都抱持热心华教的心到来。

由於“百里苦行反公害运动＂也將於今日抵达独立广场扎营，1125和平请愿大会上可见出席者除了穿上橙白色1125和平请愿衣服，不少人也穿上绿色衣服以在精神上支持百里苦行反公害运动。

出席者有备而来

隨著主办单位声明只备有400个座位予团体组织代表，以及博爱座予年长者、孕妇及残疾人士，赴会者们也有备而来，自行携带草蓆、雨伞、帽子、扇子、报纸等用具，遮挡烈日的同时也驱散闷热。

有者也就地取材，以矿泉水纸皮箱或干树叶遮挡大太阳，或跑到树荫下或挤在棚里，就是坚持参与整场和平请愿大会。

许多政经文教团结与组织也带来布条张掛、人们也高举海报，表达他们对教育发展大蓝图的不满，“不要变质的华校＂、“小二已拉牛上树，小四又拔苗助长＂、“教育大蓝图=交易大蓝图“等。

儘管1125和平请愿大会有近万人出席，但在大家互相配合及守秩序的情况下，让为时2小时的大会在一片和平与齐心下圆满结束。

黄德：独立广场被封锁‧苦行队路障外过夜

（吉隆坡25日讯）由於独立广场已被封锁，以黄德为首的“百里苦行反公害＂队伍今晚將在路障外，即拉惹路一带逗留与过夜。

黄德於傍晚5时20分在人墙的维护下抵达独立广场，然后登上一辆黑色起亚Spectra向民眾发言。

他宣佈苦行队伍將一直在独立广场附近逗留至明早9时，欢迎支持者前来声援，並且希望能有国会议员明早到来跟他们见面。

黄德吁勿推倒围篱

在“百里苦行反公害＂队伍抵达前，独立广场周围已被铁架及塑料障碍物重重包围，形成三重路障；警方可说已严阵以待，派出大批警力驻守现场。

黄德较早呼吁参与苦行集会者保持克制，抵达独立广场后不要推倒执法当局的围篱。

经过长达13天长途跋涉，“百里苦行反公害＂大队正式进入吉隆坡范围，队员们身穿绿衣，戴笠帽，高喊反莱纳斯口號，浩浩荡荡移往独立广场，许多支持者也从四面八方涌出加入爭取更好的明天。

黄德在鹅嘜伊斯兰党旧总部出发前匯报说：“是否允许我们进入（独立广场），是他们（执法当局）的选择。到达独立广场並非我们的终点，到那儿只是给我们力量继续前进。

“请展示我们的责任感，绿色分子一直都是秉持和平。＂他提醒参与者不要推翻围篱，全世界將会观察是非对错。

他重申，绿色苦行是为了下一代的精神斗爭，喊破喉咙的事情之前已经做过了，今日无需再度喊破喉咙。

300警员及市局官员驻守
三重路障禁入广场

记者於今午2时抵达独立广场，现场已有约300名警员及吉隆坡市政局官员驻守在独立广场外；此外，记者也发现有近50名警员在独立广场停车场內守候。

据观察，执法单位在独立广场前的拉惹路（Jalan Raja）及敦霹雳路（Jalan Tun Perak）衔接处以铁架设下了第一层路障，而在其后的300米处则再以红白塑胶障碍物设下另两层路障，形成禁区。

执法单位也在其他路口设下路障，包括京那巴鲁路路口及巴剎博沙巷（Lebuh Pasar Besar）路口。

吉隆坡市政厅也在独立广场外设下告示牌，禁止民眾在独立广场范围內进行任何活动。

警方：没知会违例
“黄德队伍可被对付＂

金马区警区主任再努丁助理总监说，以黄德为首的队伍已违反2012年和平集会法令，因为任何集会者都有责任根据和平法令9（1）条文知会警方，可是对方没有遵守这项条例。

他说，黄德眾人已经违反和平集会法令9（3）条文，並可在条文下被对付。警方也可以援引法令9（5）条文调查他们。

官员：市局有权拒广场集会

另一方面，吉隆坡市政局执法官员纳沙鲁丁表示，独立广场是属吉隆坡市政局管辖范围內，而且正在进行维修中，任何人都要遵守独立广场条例；因此，吉隆坡市政局有权拒绝民眾在该处集会，並且对违例者採取行动。

哈巴狗提醒草食动物说：“你们别以为草食动物缴最多粮草给动物园，动物园的粮食大多数是老天爷从天降下来的！”

山羊说：“老天爷降的粮食，是给所有动物分享的！怎能说老天爷的就只限肉食动物独享？况且如果没有我们收割打谷，你们拿个屁啊？”

老牛也说：“真是屁话！肉食动物若非免税，就是扣税；只有草食动物乖乖缴税，以数量比率均分，草食动物是一等良民，还帮助动物园养活你们这群狗呢！”

兔子问：“哈巴狗！你到底是站在草食动物这边，还是肉食动物那边？”

哈巴狗沾沾自喜道：“我？我叫哈巴狗，当然是站在狮王那边！”

Thousands rally in Petaling Jaya (Selangor, Malaysia) against education blueprint

PETALING JAYA, Nov 25 — Thousands of unhappy citizens today took over a football field here during a rally organised by Chinese education group Dong Zong to protest against the government’s newly-announced National Education Blueprint (NEB), over fears that vernacular schools will be sidelined.

“We urge the government to fulfil the people’s wishes, implement a policy of multi-lingual schools and ensure that it is contained in the mainstream schooling policy, to give fair treatment and preserve the characteristics of vernacular education,” Dong Zong’s president Yap Sin Tian said in a speech on a platform here to the predominantly Chinese crowd.

Protesters cheered and clapped in approval as they stood under the hot sun, while carrying umbrellas and banners.

Other protesters sat on the platform and in a few white canvas tents, while RELA officers were spotted.

White canvas banners with slogans such as “Membantah KPM meminggirkan SJKC, SJKT, Sekolah Tamil, Sekolah Mubaligh, SMJK (Protest against the Ministry of Education in sidelining SJKC, SJKT, Tamil schools, mission schools, SMJK)” written in Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia and Tamil were strung up along two sides of the field.

Political parties made their presence known, with PAS and PKR flags, as well as banners sporting the DAP logo being held aloft at the field.

Speakers from various organisations took turns to address the enthusiastic crowd, with some stressing that the rally dubbed as “1125” was not anti-government.

Kota Kecil MCA’s branch chairman Tai Foo Him was cheered by the crowd during his speech, even as a few placards mocking his party were held up by rally participants.

PKR vice-president N. Surendran, DAP deputy chairman Dr Tan Seng Giaw, PAS lawmaker Khalid Samad and even Sabah Progressive Party vice-president Datuk Chua Soon Bui were present to lend support.

Dong Zong supporters passed two resolutions before the end of the rally, with one opposing the NEB for allegedly advancing a monolingual education policy as its ultimate objective.

The other resolution passed was to urge the government to revise the NEB to preserve and sustain the development of different languages while still giving priority to Bahasa Malaysia as the national language.

Yap later told reporters that a memorandum will be handed to the prime minister and education minister.

Organisers have claimed that over 670 civil society organisations showed up today, causing the crowd to swell in size to more than 20,000 people.

The organisers told rally participants that they could join this afternoon’s protest in Dataran Merdeka against Lynas Corp’s rare earth plant in Kuantan.

A number of protesters, wearing the green T-shirt of the anti-Lynas movement, were also present to lend their support to the peaceful assembly.

Education remains a critical and sensitive issue for the Chinese community, with some voicing their disgruntlement over the shortage of teachers in Chinese primary schools, among other things.

Putrajaya finally approved a Chinese independent school in Kuantan this year, bowing to pressure from Chinese educationists and the Chinese community.

Change is possible? Show us, (Najib)

By Shamsul Johan
November 24, 2012

NOV 24 – Datuk Seri Najib Razak can talk a good game and it is refreshing that he speaks of changes for Malaysia.

Of course, change can happen, with time and leaders who have vision, like Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad when he was our prime minister.

For change to happen now, Najib must demonstrate the ability to break from past. You know, the old ways of doing things, announcing without first seeking feedback and thinking that government knows best.

Perhaps the prime minister can tell us before the next general election how many ministers will be dropped, how many young and capable politicians and technocrats will be in his future Cabinet.

His father did it way back when assuming the job. But the joke is that some in Najib's Cabinet were even in Tun Abdul Razak Hussein's administration.

Why change ministers? Because some have a mindset that is not in tune with change or current times. Or for the future, really.

Also, how about stopping the piratisation project called the AES? How about really getting feedback and also awarding projects through open tenders.

Stop this nonsense of cash handouts and shops selling cheap goods. That isn't the way to a high income nation. Our currency has low purchasing power and the subsidies are not directed to the relevant groups. Change that.

What we need is transparency and good governance and a government that governs, not get into business.

That is the change we want. And if Najib's government can do that, it can stay in office. If not, the government needs to change for change to happen.

猫头鹰向狮王报告：“企鹅带队步行到皇宫来，要大王取消埋毒工作；麻雀办大集会，要大王修改教育条文........。”狮后怒道：“草食动物越来越明目张胆公然对抗，他们是活得不耐烦了吗？”

猫头鹰急忙纠正：“正是他们要继续活下去，这才反抗！如果再任由残害，他们才会死得更早呢！”

家禽们聚集在狮王官邸，要狮王为猎犬强暴母羊的兽行主持公道。

公鸡说：“猎犬平时已经监守自盗，如今还侵犯家禽清白，怎还配挂着国家动物园维护治安的令牌？”

猫说：“不杀一儆百，何以服众？”松鼠道：“应火速严刑定罪，以息众怒！”猎犬队长慢条斯理说：“国家动物园是法治之区，等我们搜起来证据再说。”公鸡问：“母羊挺身而出和检验报告还不够吗？”

猎犬队长呵呵笑说：“这是单方面指控。起码要等母羊怀胎 9 月，看是不是生出一头小猎犬后再说！”

首相人选与马来西亚民主进程

    在伊斯兰党大会中，最受人民争议的两项课题是“落实伊斯兰刑法”，及“民联谁来当首相”。我认为伊斯兰党必须认清，在民联的橙皮书里，没有阐述民联一旦执政将落实伊斯兰刑法。而首相人选，则多次在三党的同意下，由安华出任。

        我国的穆斯林人口只稍微超出50%，在一个拥有多宗教信仰的马来西亚来讲，无必要以宗教法律来治国。我最近参加了在梳邦市举行的“伊斯兰国，谁的版本”交流会，喜悦看到台上的公正党和伊斯兰党之马来人讲员，都发表开明派的信息，希望我国延续中庸伊斯兰形式治国体制。

        我国的700万华裔，大多数人对于伊斯兰国是一知半解的。过去，人民，包括媒体，把 Hudud 翻译为“断肢法”，顾名思义，导致他们因惧怕而拒绝伊斯兰党是事实。过去行动党也曾经被马华操弄此课题导致前者大败。

        Hudud 被纠正翻译为“伊斯兰刑法”，并不表示华裔的担心已经摒除。上届308大选，民联制造了小变天，证明了马华利用此课题的恐吓已经没有效果。据分析，人民投反对票，乃是视国阵的贪污滥权，司法不公正，及种族偏见之类不讨民心课题，比伊斯兰国课题更痛恨。

        这5年来民联三党合作无间，没有拆散，可惜伊斯兰党逐渐模糊了合作的焦点。伊斯兰党或许认为入主布城是唾手可得的必然现象。上述党大会的两项议题，可看出它们太自信了！说实话，在马来人为主的选区，伊斯兰党或许有作为。但在非马来人为主和混合选区，若伊斯兰党能够有作为的话，都是打着民联三党的招牌。

        我以“狼假虎威”来形容伊斯兰党，那只狼（伊斯兰党）能够在其他动物面前带来震撼，不是它，而是它背后的那只虎（公正党 / 行动党）。人民若支持伊斯兰党的候选人，不是因为支持伊斯兰党的理念，而是支持民联的橙皮书，支持政治改革。伊斯兰党的上述两项议题，首当其冲的是它自己本身受到最大的破坏。华裔可能为了不让伊斯兰党获得更多议席而不投选它，那对于民联欲入主布城必制造更大挑战。

        同时，伊斯兰党在东马根本没有影响力，它之所以能够有份派候选人在那里竞选，都是因着民联让步效应。民联和国阵都相信东马两州将决定哪方入主布城，而那里的人民大多数是信仰基督教的，伊斯兰党的“伊斯兰刑法”目标或许让它自己在那里全军覆没，民联将因此希望泯灭矣！

        关于民联首相将由伊斯兰党人士（主席哈迪）出任的课题，从实行伊斯兰国目标角度来看，我并不支持他当首相。但若伊斯兰党放弃伊斯兰国的议程，并且秉持三党一同协议，按照橙皮书行事，那么有一天若该党出现一个人才有能力带领国家的话，我就没理由反对他当首相。

        若从民主角度来看大马政治演变的话，能够提出民联中由不同的党领袖出任首相，是民主探讨的好开始。可以探讨谁出任首相，不过由哈迪当首相则还未是时候。民联的开明将逐渐形成国家两线制，并且逐渐摒弃以种族和宗教来选首相，那才是真正的先进国。我国的传统从来没有民选首相，并都是由一党领袖出任，离开民主还有一段路程。美国能够选出非白人出任总统，毕竟它经历了超过两百年的抗拒才有这么一天！我祷告大马人民能够为了国家的利益而使到政治进展，摒弃个人和党利益，这样下去，国家富裕，人人都受益！大家同心爱自己的国家，其实不必等两百多年，或许另五十年就实现了！

董總 VS 華總：55年來多少人在不知不覺中成為被煮熟的青蛙？

邹寿汉暗喻董总孤军作战‧青蛙图呼唤战友归队

2012-11-18 18:54

（雪兰莪‧八打灵再也18日讯）董总署理主席邹寿汉今日通过两张“青蛙＂图片表达董总目前孤军作战，並呼吁昔日战友“回来，回来＂！

第一张名为“从前＂的图片，图中有两只浅青色的青蛙正在呼吁其他青蛙不要跳进正在加热的锅头里，当时的锅乃是使用木柴在加热，可以看见火势的大小，通往锅头的是木製的梯子，须要一番功夫，才能费劲儿地爬进锅里，因此很少青蛙愿意进到锅里。

第二张名为“现在＂的图片，木柴换成了电子感应炉，由於看不见火势，因此很多青蛙愿意跳进炉里。一只青蛙正在调控感应炉的火势大小，而木製的梯子则换成了电梯。

图中两只浅青色的青蛙分道扬鑣了，一只正在搭乘电梯到感应炉里，另一只则在原地大喊“回来，回来＂，迫切地希望昔日战友能够回到自己身旁。

指两只青蛙渐行渐远

针对这两张图片，邹寿汉並没有直接表明两只青蛙代表的团体，仅表示两只青蛙过去“同捞同煲＂，如今只剩其中一只青蛙留在原地，隨著昔日青蛙战友的渐行渐远，而感到孤单及无奈。

他说，电子感应炉看不到火势，因此看不到潜在的危险，再加上人为控制火势，甚么时候会被加热煮热，炉里的青蛙並不知晓。

“这两张图片说明了环境情势的改变，千言万语，就用这两张照片来说明一切。＂

---

甚么是“温水煮青蛙＂？ “温水煮青蛙＂源自美国康奈尔大学科学家的著名“青蛙实验＂。科学家把青蛙投入已煮沸的开水中时，青蛙因受不了突而其来的的高温刺激立即奋力从开水中跳出来得以成功逃生。 但当科学家把青蛙先放入装著冷水的容器中，然后再加热。结果就不一样了。 青蛙反倒因为开始时水温的舒適而在水中中悠然自得，直至发现无法忍受高温时，则心有余而力不足了，活生生在热水中热死。 “温水煮蛙＂道出了从量变到质变的原理，说明由於对渐变的適应性及习惯性，失去戒备而招灾的道理。突而其来的大敌当前往往让人做出意想不到的防御效果，然而面对安逸满意的环境往往会產生不拘小节的鬆懈，也是最至命的鬆懈，到死都还不知何故。

大马2013年第一学期假期延后两周隐藏大选玄机

马来西亚学校，2013年第一学期假期比往年延后两周，这里隐藏着大选的玄机。

2011年和2012年分别在3月12日，和3月10日开始。明年则延迟至3月22日开始。

玄机在此，即国会将于2013年4月28日五年满而结束。看来首相纳吉不会等它期满自动解散。他会提前解散国会，因此，大选可能落在3月30日（星期六）。

人民对于预测大选日期已经疲累了，这次不必预测，反正只有5个多月而已。纳吉只是在买时间吧了！你准备好了改朝换代吗？

Sabah and Sarawak will lead the change in Malaysian Federal Government come the 13th General Elections

Please also read The Prophecies on Malaysia by Rev. Cindy Jacobs:
http://allenstae.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-three-prophecies-on-malaysia-by-rev.html
----------------------------------------------------

Sabah voters will be the “kingmakers” in the 13GE to decide who will form the Federal Government in Putrajaya and who will be the Prime Minister of Malaysia

After my latest visit to Sabah and three-day “DAP UBAH tour” of Papar (Kg Tamui), Kota Belud ( Kg Nahaba), Inanam, Matunggung (Kg. Pinaurat) and Kudat, with Sabah DAP leaders, it is clear that the Pakatan Rakyat Sabah’s RM7.28 billion Alternative Budget 2013 announced last month has “hit the marks” and put intense pressure on the Sabah Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Musa Aman and the Barisan Nasional Sabah leaders.

For instance, Musa was reported in the Sabah newspapers on Friday of handing over funds totaling RM30.9 million to 140 non-Islamic religious bodies and 266 schools including Chinese independent and missions schools in the state – made up of RM18 million to religious bodies including churches, Chinese temples and other non-Muslim places of worship and RM12.9 million to the schools.

Although Musa said that “the large allocation for non-Islamic religious bodies was reflective of the Barisan Nasional government’s commitment in upholding religious freedom in the country”, it was clearly in response though weak and inadequate to the fourth of five thrusts of Pakatan Rakyat Sabah’s Alternative Budget 2003 on “Empowering Local Communities”.

However the Sabah BN government has fallen far short of what the PR Sabah Alternative Budget proposed.

The “Empowering Local Communities” thrust of the PR Sabah Alternative Budget proposed allocation of RM50 million for vernacular, religious, government-aided and independent schools but the Sabah BN government has responded only with a RM12.9 million allocation.

The PR Sabah alternative budget proposed RM50 million to non-Muslim religious organisations (and RM100 million for Muslim organisations including RM3 million for funding Haj pilgrimages by 300 people at RM10,000 per person) but the Sabah BN government has only come out with RM18 million for non-Islamic religious bodies.

The PR Sabah’s fourth thrust on “Empowering Local Communities” have 13 specific proposals which Sabah BN government have yet to respond, including:

• Under Skim Graduan Anak Sabah, RM2,000 will be given to each student pursuing tertiary studies for households earning less than RM2,000 a month. This initiative is expected to cost RM14.4 million and is expected to benefit approximate 7,200 students.

• RM50 million to provide scholarships for all those who seek tertiary education in the state. Priority will be given to train doctors and teachers.

• RM20 million fund to showcase cultural diversity through innovation and creativity.

• RM40 million for the purposes of cultural and heritage preservation.

• Start up grant of RM20 million to set up Sabah TV for the purposes of making programs to showcase the cultural heritage and diversity of our state.

The other four thrusts of the PR Sabah Alternative Budget contained another 30 specific proposals to ensure that Sabah’s wealth is more equitably distributed, its growth reinvigorated and the marginalised in Sabah lifted out of poverty.

Although Musa and the Sabah BN state government have yet to give proper and commensurate response to the specific proposals of the PR Sabah Alternative Budget 2013, the Sabah Chief Minister and the Sabah BN have started a war of words against the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat.

Musa for instance reacted in a very irrational and most uncharacteristic manner when I pointed out the great difference between the Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat when faced with the supreme challenge of the 13th General Election, which could see either BN returned to power or replaced by the Pakatan Rakyat in Putrajaya.

I had said that when put to the test as to which political coalition is prepared to put national interest above all other interests, UMNO and BN have in their desperate bid to hold on to power resorted to the traditional but divisive “Divide and Rule” tactics polarizing the diverse races and religions in the country, while Pakatan Rakyat parties of DAP, PKR and PAS have maintained a common theme and unifying message of “Unite and Rule” to all races, religions and states, underlining the need for all Malaysians to rally together as one Malaysian people to build an united nation with a common vision.

Another Sabah BN leader who has eyes on the office of Sabah Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal, has also got into the act responding to the Pakatan Rakyat Sabah Alternative budget, calling for the rejection of PR’s promise to increase Sabah’s oil royalty receipts from five to 20 per cent.

Shafie has given the most ridiculous reason claiming that the increase of Sabah’s oil royalty to 20 per cent would cause a split between Sabah and the rest of Malaysia.

Shafie’s reasoning is flawed, as PR is not just asking for the oil royalty for Sabah to be increased from five to 20%, but for all oil producing states including Sarawak, Terengganu, Kelantan and soon, Pahang. Furthermore, there is the remaining 80% of the oil royalty receipts which could be devoted to national development.

So far Shafie is the only Sabah BN leader to openly oppose the increase of Sabah’s oil royalty from five to 20 per cent. Let everyone of the Sabah BN leaders declare their stand on this issue so that the voters of Sabah can decide whether they deserve support or repudiation.

Yesterday’s Sabah press carried headlines of the call by UPKO President Tan Sri Bernard Dompok: “PR’s promises ‘only good outside Sabah’”.

Bernard had not intended, but he was in fact conceding, that UMNO and Barisan Nasional are facing an uphill if not a losing battle for the hearts and minds of the voters in Peninsular Malaysia and that it is now left to the voters of Sabah to save UMNO and Barisan Nasional in the impending general elections.

Bernard is absolutely right and this is why I have stressed in my speeches during my UBAH tour of Papar, Kota Belud, Inanam, Matunggong and Kudat during the past three days that the Sabah voters are the “kingmakers” in Malaysia as they will, together with the voters of Sarawak and Johore, decide who will be form the next Federal Government in Putrajaya and who is to be the next Prime Minister of Malaysia.

The Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak visited Kudat during his last visit to Sabah, but he did not travel by road to experience for himself what the common Sabahan had to experience – what I had previously described as the “worst road in Malaysia” – the atrocious and hellish stretch at Ulu Kukut.

Instead, Najib flew by helicopter, by-passing Ulu Kukut altogether, like the Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in his previous visit to the area.

After my August visit where I tweeted about the seven-year atrocity of the Ulu Kukut road condition, the Barisan Nasional state government gave a public assurance that the three-kilometre road upgrading project at Ulu Kukut would be sealed and completed by the end of September.

However, when I travelled to Kg Pinaurat in Matunggong and Kudat on Sunday, time seemed to have stood still at the Ulu Kukut stretch in the past three months as there is no sign of any improvement in the atrocious road condition.

Even Najib dared not make any mention of the atrocious Ulu Kukut stretch during his visit to Kudat last month, and he chose instead to announce that a study is being carried out on a RM800 million coastal highway from Tuaran linking Kota Belud to Kota Marudu and to Kudat – bypassing Ulu Kukut completely.

Has the Prime Minister also given up on completing the upgrading of the Ulu Kukut road, which is believed to be a RM70 million project, and is Ulu Kukut going to be a living testimony of the failure of Sabah BN state government in the 13GE?
