Anwar have been Checkmated by Pak Lah?

16 September comes, 16 September goes.
BN still in power, and Pakatan Rakyat are in woes.

There could be much speculation about why Anwar have not revealed the 31 names yet, and none of the existing MPs have defected yet. But, if the script goes well, Anwar should have announced it already. As Pak Lah have stated yesterday, if Anwar already have the defectors in line, why need to request to see him. Anwar and his goons can stormed into Putrajaya already.

In my opinion is that, the Prime Minister seat is now not in the hand of Rakyat, but more to the hands of these 31 MPs. Is that democratic or what? These 31 MPS or can I say 0.00001% of Malaysia's population has become a power shifter and can decide for us who will govern the country. And we as a citizen are only a spectator to these power greedy fellas. Anwar knows this very well and that's why he is been chasing these MPs like no one business. Anwar must persuade these MPs to discard their integrity and honor in order for them to jump ship. What possible reason and strong enough motivation for them to hop to the other side? I can only think of two major factor - Better Position and Better Money. Because if these 31 MPS are really a noble person, and thinking of the Rakyat, they will not jump ship. It is because they are elected to the parliamentary seat by the supporters of BN and the people who believe in BN. By jumping ship, they are betraying the trust of the people who put them there. So, to persuade an MP to jump ship, Anwar must find MPs that have no disregards of the people who elected them and selfish enough to take the bait by Pakatan Rakyat. So, Anwar, please reveal the names, I definitely would not vote for this hopping MPs ever again.

Paklah starts to use his rotan - the ISA

The Internal Secury Act is a legislation act thats enables the executive government of a jurisdiction to preserve the internal security of the nation. In some jurisdictions, it authorizes the government to arrest and detain individuals without trial. Other countries besides Malaysia that have similar legislation are Singapore, Israel, South Africa and the United States of America. The legislation has a noble intention of safeguarding the national securities from terrorists or individuals that can pose danger to the the country. Interestingly is that all this legislation are borned for the need of preventing and defending the country from terrorists. ISA in Malaysia was borned during the height of communist way back in the pre-merdeka period. The Patriot Act introduced in USA was also borned from 9/11 tragedy. It is put in place due to the fear of terrorists. The same goes to Israel and also South Africa.  

Now, we can see in the newspaper today, Pak Lah and Syed Hamid Albar is starting to use again the ISA as you can read it here. Definitely the government will say that the ISA have to be used because these individuals can be a threat to the nation. These people must be detain under ISA before the country would be in a state of anarchy. In my personal opinion, ISA should only be used if the individual can posed imminent danger such as what a terrorists can posed. An imminent danger to the country and not the imminent danger to the ruling party. Yes, these people who have been detained might probably have breached seditious act, but why use ISA for it? Or are we now under attack by terrorist again? 

Of Colors, Racism and Asabiyyah

A collaborative team led by scholars at Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Universities has done an extensive research on the origin of human being by DNA analysis. The research confirms the “Out Of Africa” hypothesis that all modern humans stem from a single group of Homo sapiens who emigrated from Africa 2,000 generations ago and spread throughout Eurasia over thousands of years. These settlers replaced other early humans (such as Neanderthals), rather than interbreeding with them. You can read more about this here.

I bring out this topic due to the recent frascos and racist remarks done some of our damn politicians such as Ahmad Ismail. He may have saying the facts about the Chinese was once an immigrant, but so do your ancestors. If the study above are correct, we all originated from Africa and have the same great, great, great grandfathers. Even in the Quran and Bible, it clearly stated that ALL HUMAN BEINGS originated from Adam and Eve. So, what makes us all different? We all have the same red blood and DNA. The only difference is the culture and religion that we strongly hold to. Besides from that, eventhough we have different color skins, we are practically the same. No race is above others. No race is far more superior than others. Arab is not superior to Non Arab. White people is not superior to Non White People. And the same goes here in Malaysia. It is only just a perception that the Malays are not competitive. It is only just a perception the Chinese are good at business. As a human being, individually, we have the power to achieve anything that we want as long as we set our mind to it. In my opinion, the only superior person, is the one who learn the most, work the most and humblest the most, regardless of culture, race or religion.
