Syabas 8TV!

By now, most of us would have been aware of the open use advertisements which have been pulled out by 8TV.

For those who have not seen it yet, the overwhelming open use advertisements could be accessed via the Malaysian Insider report yesterday.

It is extraordinary which the little people could take leave from their comprehension in full open view nowadays. And we seem to be doing it with the coherence of Datuk Nicole Davids in the squish courts. Syabas.

The thing which struck me was the nonchalant attitude shown by Media Prima arch handling officer Ahmad Izham Omar when the advertisements were formulating the storm in cyberspace yesterday. He was reported as saying, upon his twitter account:

Chill guys. Dont overthink the ads. Its written, constructed as well as directed by the multi-racial team. If we overanalyse, anything will be bad.

As the media man, he should know which the message driven open use announcement would during the little point of time be dissected as well as analysed by the really aim of those advertisements. And when the advertisements spin stereotyping into an art, certainly they will hold upon raw nerves.

One does not have to overthink about those advertisements to find them offensive as well as insensitive. The fact which it was constructed by the multi-racial group does not negate the somewhat guileful stereotyping contained in the advertisements.

The recommendation to chill out was, to me, even some-more scornful than the advertisements themselves.

Speaking of insult, we am certain most Muslims would find those advertisements scornful as well. How diseased have been we, Muslims? We would be violation quick when we see alternati! ve peopl e eat or drink? Or we would be carrying the hard-on during the pasar Ramadhan when we s! ee girls in sleeveless tank top showing their arm array eh?

The ritual of fasting is meant to cleanse not usually the physical body but also the soul. We have been supposed to be humbled by the experience of fasting. We have been supposed to sense the sufferings of those who have been not as lucky as we are, those who do not have food as well as drinks like us day in day out via the year as opposed to usually 30 days or so the year.

Why have been we so diseased so most so which we have to ask people of alternative conviction not to splash or eat in front of us? For Gods sake, the Prophet as well as his supporters fought the Badar battle upon the 17th day of Ramadhan in the year 624. And here, right away in 2011, we seek the non-Muslims understanding not to eat in front of us in Ramadhan. Awesome.

I only love saying how the Chinese-looking girl was portrayed as the miserly chairman trying to make the pig out of herself with all the food. If 8TV crew could go to the single of those hotels which serves the RM100++ buka puasa buffet, maybe they would see which Muslims as well put mountainous volume of food upon their plate as well which during the finish is not consumed.

There have been most messages which could be delivered during Ramadhan. Messages about how we all should be moderate in the buka puasa meals; about how we all should not dont consider about the sufferings of those in poverty as well as those young kids who have to work upon the streets of Chow Kit to fend for themselves; about how we all should not only consider which Ramadhan is all about avoiding food as well as splash in day time; about how we should all essay to apply oneself any other, to treat any alternative with great manners as well as in civility; about how we should all detoxify the essence from greed, corruption, intoxication with all things materials etc etc.

Instead we chose to debase the neighbours as! well as friends with unresponsive as well as roughly meaningless stereotyping this Ramadhan. Just the couple of days ago we remember the Honourable Prime Minister preaching for acceptance instead of tolerance. What have the people during 8TV schooled from which exhortation?

Well, th! e advert isements have been pulled out. The arch handling officer of Media Prima had reportedly said:

Ok guys. Were pulling out the ads. Thank we really most for your concern.

He followed up by asking:

And right away to some-more critical things... Does the horn territory sound better with 4 trombones? Or would only 3 trombones be enough?

Yes, life goes on, isnt it? There have been most some-more critical things in life.

As for the horn territory with 3 or 4 trombones, we would certainly goal 8TV is not starting to air the programme upon it. Because we fear they might only go as well as inspect the little horns upon the little cars as well as air their findings.

I have been abroad as well as when assembly with the ambassadors mom as well as she would ask me, Where do you wish to go?

I pronounced you was told the Smithsonian Museum was good. She (the ambassadors wife) told me, You know, you have been the initial ministers mom to ask me to move you to the museum. And you said, Oh, really! Does which answer your question?

Wan Azizah was responding to the question which the PM as well as his mom had received brickbats over Rosmahs alleged selling escapades overseas.

The PKR boss who graduated in disinfectant from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, where she specialised in obstetrics as well as gynaecology as well as later gaining the grade in ophthalmology argued she is different from Rosmah.

She gave an additional example relating ! to a sin gle of her trips to London. you told them you longed for to see the Islamic territory of the British! Museum. This was since you was told the territory executive by the name of Abu Bakar had embraced Islam as well as became the Muslim.

I longed for to see what they had in which section. The ambassadors mom told me which it was the initial time she had left to the British Museum, she said.

The Reluctant Politician

Wan Azizah additionally pronounced her preference to step down as an MP would not lead to the opening of female leaders in the opposition front. you know some people felt disappointed when you stepped down as MP for Permatang Pauh in 2008. My mom felt the same way.

However, you thought Anwar will be the improved chairman (for Permatang Pauh) as politician as well as parliamentarian.

Since you left, there is still Nurul Izzah, Fuziah (Salleh), Zuraida (Kamaruddin), Siti Mariah (Mahmud), the late Dr Lo Lo (Ghazali), Teresa Kok as well as Teo Nie Ching.

Who says there have been no women there. Nurul Izzah is there as well as she had defeated (senator) Shahrizat (Jalil, the afterwards women as well as family growth minister).

The mom of 6 additionally voiced honour over the apprehension of her youngest daughter, 20-year-old Nurul Iman, during the Bersih 2.0 convene upon Jul 9.

I heard Izzah (was arrested), as well as then, oh dear, you heard which Iman (was additionally arrested). She told me, ! Mom, you could not run the bad girl. Despite this, you was very proud of her.

Nurul Izzah, being the eldest, told her sisters all 5 of them if they ever get caught, do not cry, be strong.

When the Police questioned her, she repl! ied, Say the tidak akan jawab sehingga saya ada peguam (I will not answer until you have the lawyer). And you told her which was very dauntless of her, pronounced the PKR president.

Now she is very charged up as well as she told me, Mom, lets buy some (gas) masks for the subsequent Bersih rally, so you will be improved prepared.

Will others enter politics?

Quizzed upon either she would see alternative members of her family entering politics, Wan Azizah pronounced she did not groom any of her children to do so.

Its just which Nurul Izzah was there as well as she grew to be the confident (woman). She was seventeen when this happened (Anwars initial sodomy charge).

They told me they smuggled Nurul Izzah in the boat to Batam, whilst bringing three shirts as well as a single pants as well as the knapsack, to meet Pak Habibie (then Indonesian President Jusuf Habibie).

Later she met (then Philippines president) Joseph Estrada. Nurul Izzah was young, but she had some experiences.

Misteri gentar mempertahankan 1 Malaysia

August 3, 2011

Misteri gentar mempertahankan 1 Malaysia

oleh Datuk Mohd Ariff Sabri Abdul Aziz dan Aspan Alias

Hari ini kita membaca kenyataan bahawa PM kita gentar mempertahankan konsep 1 Malaysia. Sedangkan kita lihat, petanda dan pitch 1 Malaysia di serata tempat. Di lapel kot dan baju ada pitch 1 Malaysia. Si tukang buat pinned token jadi kaya kerana membekal pinned token dan lencana 1 Malaysia. Di corong TV, hasil kerja kuat Menteri Penerangan, kita di lambakkan dengan cenderamata 1 Malaysia.

Maka, mana mungkin sesiapa gentar mempertahankan 1 Malaysia? Mungkin kita jadi gentar sebab orang UMNO , parti yang di ketuai oleh PM kita, mengalami tekanan kelam kabut serta tidak karuan fikiran mereka. Bayangkan, semenjak 1981 dan berkemuncak pula dari 1988 apabila UMNO baru di ujudkan, orang UMNO hanya ada satu sahaja paradigm, iaitu bercakap segala celebration nya dari sudut kepentingan orang Melayu.

Tiba tiba, tahun 2010, setelah lebh thirty tahun bercakap dari sudut Melayu sentrik, orang UMNO di suruh bercakap mengenai 1 Malaysia. Bagaimana mereka tidak bercelalru fikiran? Selama ini mereka hanya tahu bercakap serta beroperasi atas landasan pro- perkauman, Najib Razak pula suruh mereka cakap tidak perkauman.

Sebab itu, ketika selesai Perhimpunan Agung UMNO tahun lalu, kami melihat para perwakilan semua menolak thought thought besar Najib. Secara keseluruhan thought Najib mengenai 1 Malaysia, mengenai transformasi ekonomi, ! mengenai segala nya lah, di tolak. N! amun, ak hbar arus perdana tidak menghuraikan perkara ini. Maka elok pula saya mengingatkan nya.

Bila Najib cakap mengenai 1 Malaysia, perwakilan bercakap mengenai Ketuanan Melayu atau Melayu di dahulukan. Apakala Najib bercakap mengenai transformasi ekonomi, para perwakilan mendesak dasar ala DEB di kembalikan. Akhirnya, modal untuk Najib mempertahankan diri ialah mengistiharkan bahawa dia anak Tun Razak. Yang ini, tentulah tidak ada orang boleh nafikan.

Tapi apakah penilaian kita apabila seseorang hanya boleh mempertahankan diri nya, dengan resort kepada mengingatkan perwakilan bahawa dia anak Tun Razak? Kepada saya itu sudah jelas menunjukkan Najib tidak terdaya mempertahankan thought thought besar nya atas dasar merit.

Jadi deep down orang Melayu curiga dengan wawasan Najib. Setelah thirty tahun bercakap dan menghidupkan cita cita Melayu Raya dalam segala aspek kehidupan, kita di kehendaki mengubah haluan. Sampai bila bila pun, matlamat dan bulletin orang Melayu tidak akan dapat di capai dan ianya akan di tunda untuk jangka waktu yang tidak dapat di tentukan.

Keadaan yang melanda orang Melayu hari ini, terutama nya orang UMNO tidak ubah seperti orang yang baru hendak belajar solat dan puasa.

Seorang ustaz bertanya pada sahabat nya, wok weh, mengapa kamu tidak berpuasa, maka sahabat nya menjawab, bagaimana mahu puasa sedangkan aku tidak sembahyang. Bukan kah ulamak mengingatkan kita, kalau kita puasa tapi tidak sembahyang, maka puasa kita jadi sia sia kerana yang kita dapat ialah berlapar.

Tidak mengapa, kata ustaz. Ana akan ajar kami cara sembahyang dan kifayat berpuasa. Maka si ustaz pun mendidiklah sahabatnya tadi kifayat solat dan puasa.

Namun setelah beberapa minggu, ustaz menjadi heran, mengapa! setiap kali sesudah mengangkat takbir, sahabatnya tadi akan menggulung sejadah dan menyimpan nya. Perbuatan ini di lakukan secara istiqamah. Setiap kali setelah bertakbir, sahabatnya secara konsisten akan menggulung sejadah dan menyimpan kan nya.

Maklum sajalah, thirty tahun tidak solat. Itulah amalan kebiasaan. Tentulah kelam kabut dan celaru otak si empunya diri untuk melakukan perubahan.

Maka satu hari, kerana tidak tahan melihat perbuatan tersebut , si ustaz menghampiri sahabat nya untuk memastikan apa sebenar nya berlaku.

Rupa rupa nya misteri mengapa sahabat nya menggulung sejadah setiap kali setelah bertakbir akhir nya terbongkar. Rupa rupa nya ustaz tadi terdengar niat yang di pasang. Ketika mengangkat tangan untuk betakbir, dia mendengar sahabat nya berkata:

Sahaja akai solat sekian sekian, ESOK HARI kerana Allah Taala. Lantas setelah niat di jatuhkan, kawan nya menggulung sejadah. Maka matlamat untuk mendidik sahabat nya tidak kesampaian.

Demikian lah yang terjadi kepada orang UMNO. thirty tahun membiasakan diri bercakap dan beroperasi atas landasan Melayu di dahulukan, tiba tiba imam menyuruh menukar haluan.

Maka niat orang UMNO: Sahaja aku menSATUkan Malaysia setelah mendahulukan Melayu esok hari .

REF: KUALA LUMPUR 979 - INITIAL REACTION TO U.S. ELECTION

Classified By: Political Counselor Mark D. Clark for reasons 1.4 (b as well as d).

Summary as well as Comment

1. (C) Opposition personality Anwar Ibrahim has shifted to a less aggressive viewpoint for now, though his idea stays bringing down a UMNO-led supervision by parliamentary crossovers prior to to Deputy Prime Minister Najib becoming a subsequent UMNO celebration boss as well as Prime Minister, according to top officials in Anwar's Peoples Justice Party (PKR).

Part of Anwar's strategy entails reaching out to a "losers" in a passing from a singular to another from Prime Minister Abdullah to Najib, together with UMNO maestro Tengku Razaleigh. The PKR officials concurred which a government's Sep arrests of 3 persons under a Internal Security Act (ISA) had s! ent an e ffective notice to those deliberation switching their await to Anwar. !

P KR officials as well as Anwar's lawyers assumed a sodomy prosecution opposite Anwar would move forward, with a hearing proviso likely commencement by January. The Opposition was doubtful to await "superficial" reforms which UMNO would try to pour out by council as partial of effusive PM Abdullah's legacy.

The Ambassador met upon Oct thirty with Tengku Razaleigh, who complained about his incapacity to compete in a UMNO assignment routine due to income politics as well as contended which a subsequent UMNO boss (Najib) would not indispensably turn a subsequent Prime Minister.

2. (C) Comment: We right away have been witnessing a opposite tinge as well as pace in a struggle between a Opposition as well as UMNO following Anwar's unrealized Sep deadline as well as a fast converging of UMNO await at a back of Najib as a subsequent Prime Minister.

While PKR's rationale for wanting to head-off Najib stays in place, Anwar has mislaid political movement for a moment as well as seems to face increasingly long odds in securing future crossovers. Anwar's capability to capture a "losers" from a Abdullah-Najib passing from a singular to another stays theoretical. End Summary as well as Comment.

Anwar's Less Aggressive Posture

3. (C) Polcouns met alone with PKR Information Chief Tian Chua as well as PKR Vice President Sivarasa Rasiah upon Nov 3 as well as 5, respectively. Both PKR officials concurred which Opposition personality Anwar Ibrahim has shifted to a reduce key approach given a thoroughfare of Anwar's open Sep 16 deadline to move down PM Abdullah's supervision by a crossover of thirty or more supervision MPs.

Compared with September, Anwar is right away more focused upon consolidating a Opposition People's Alliance (Pakatan Rakyat), which encompasses 3 parties with mostly disparate political views: PKR, a Chinese-dominated Demo! cratic A ction Party (DAP), as well as a Islamic Party of Malaysia (PAS). As a formal Opposition personality in Parliament, Anwar is devoting courtesy to Pakatan's actions ! in parli ament as well as running Opposition MPs, many of whom have been sitting in a physique for a initial time.

Crossover Goal Unchanged

4. (C) Despite his less aggressive open posture, Anwar's idea stays bringing down a UMNO-led supervision by parliamentary crossovers prior to to Deputy Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak becoming a subsequent UMNO celebration boss as well as Prime Minister, Tian Chua as well as Sivarasa stated.

The time horizon has shifted from Dec to March 2009, in line with a change in a UMNO celebration elections, at which time Najib is set to turn UMNO boss uncontested. PKR officials reiterated which Anwar as well as PKR sojourn focused upon preempting Najib's takeover if possible, since they believe Najib would plead authoritarian measures to scuttle a Opposition prior to a subsequent national elections.

In a months ahead, PKR would look for opportunities to weaken await for Najib as well as a government, for e.g. by criticizing GOM measures in a face of a probable dramatic downturn in a manage to buy following a global financial crisis, or by regulating new report joining Najib to scandals, similar to a Altantuya box as well as a Eurocopter purchase.

(Comment: Anwar as well as other Opposition leaders have taken up such issues in Parliament over a past couple of weeks. On Nov 4, Anwar led a walk-out of Opposition MPs to criticism Najib's refusal to allow questions during his presentation of revised budget figures. End Comment.)

Attracting a "Losers"

5. (C) Anwar does not have sufficient racial Malay MPs ready to stick upon a Opposition, according to both Tian Chua as well as Sivarasa, though which a Opposition faces unsuitable risks of a harsh supervision backlash fit upon a basis of Malay nat! ionalism .

Anwar reportedly hopes to capture antagonistic UMNO leaders as well as MPs who have been "losers" in a stream passing from a singular to another from Abdullah to Najib; many distinguished between these is maestro UMNO personality Tengku Razaleigh Hamza! h.

Talks with Razaleigh sojourn inconclusive since Razaleigh continues to insist upon a prospective position of Prime Minister, while PKR estimates which Razaleigh could secure a crossover of usually four or five UMNO MPs (see notes next from a Ambassador's new meeting with Razaleigh).

Anwar is also progressing hit with PM Abdullah at this stage, primarily by son-in-law Khairy Jamaluddin, Tian Chua said. Whether members of Abdullah's round would consider channel over to Anwar remained an open question.

ISA as Warning to MPs

6. (C) The dual PKR officials concurred which a government's Sep arrests of 3 persons -- a journalist, an Opposition MP as well as blogger Raja Petra -- under a Internal Security Act (ISA) had sent an effective notice to those MPs deliberation switching await to Anwar. (let's discuss Petra's recover today)

(Comment: In early October, UMNO MP Nur Jazlan told Polcouns which a ISA arrests had been "very successful" in achieving UMNO's objective of intimidating MPs who had deliberate joining with Anwar. End Comment.)

Sodomy Trial Will Remain a Factor

7. (C) Sankara Nair, a distinguished profession for Anwar, told us upon Nov 5 that, regardless of maneuvers in a stream Sessions Court, it usually a matter of time prior to a supervision shifted Anwar's sodomy box to a High Court, a more favorable venue for a prosecution.

Sivarasa, who also serves as a singular of Anwar's lawyers, believed which a hearing proviso of a sodomy box would proceed in aspiring by January.

Neither Sankara nor Sivarasa believed a supervision would drop a case.

Opposition Unlikely to Support Abdullah's Reform! s

8. (C) The Prime Minister's round -- by Khairy -- has approached Anwar regarding await for legal remodel measures which would be presented in Parliament soon as partial of Abdullah's parting legacy, according to Sivarasa as well as Ti! an Chua. The Opposition, however, was doubtful to await these measures since they did not represent meaningful changes.

The Opposition believed, for example, a proposed changes to a Anti-Corruption Commission would leave a physique under organisation executive control. Following a resignation of authorised remodel Minister Zaid Ibrahim, Nazri Aziz, de facto Minister for parliamentary affairs, led a legal remodel discussions in Parliament, though he lacked credibility.

Anwar as well as a U.S. Presidential Election

Dr M: Western journalists won't repent, they are as corrupt as they say I am

We have been used to a tall moral belligerent taken by a Western Press. We almost tremble mentally when they criticize us for a poor record upon tellurian rights, a alleged failure to respect a rule of law, a crime as well as a injustices which you commit opposite others etc. etc.

We feel they have been right, which they, unlike us, have as well as they obey tall ethical codes, which they have been honest as well as straightforward.

It is shocking to find which they have been really no improved than us, which since half a chance they would cheat as well as abuse their positions, which they would dont think about tellurian rights.

We know now which their Members of Parliament as reported by their Press make use of public funds to allow their homes with chandeliers etc., which they explain extreme roving allowances. We know which their Governments sell titles.

Now you have been witnessing their most absolute media noble admitting which a paper he owns, News of a World has been hacking telephones to attend in upon in isolation conversations as well as to make use of what they listen to when stating in their paper. Now you listen to of bribes since to alleviate reports by reporters about all kinds of shenanigans by absolute people. And their politicians have been just as fearful of a Press as you are.

Their MPs now have an event to get back during a media through their debates as well as through job up not just a media people though a Chief of a Metropolitan Police to face Parliamentary Select Committees.

I agree which a media should fool around a purpose to stop filth upon a partial of publi! c figure s. They should be a watchdog overseeing a probable impropriety of Government practices as well as policies. But this sho! uld not embody abuses of a rights accorded to them.

Many of a things a Western media reports in Malaysia have been distant from a truth. But once a single of them says something bad about this country as well as its Government (and other countries too) others will repeat it but any try to verify a law of a reports.

I was reported to have practiced cronyism; which we manipulated a judiciary, which we threw in to jail my emissary by Western reporters who for a single reason of another had taken a be vexed for me. After which each publisher when stating about Malaysia contingency discuss which we had practised cronyism, manipulated a law as well as threw my emissary in to jail. For which matter each book created about Malaysia contingency embody these items. The words of a first publisher who reported this contingency be a truth, a whole law as well as zero though a truth. No volume of refuting a allegations by any one would be accepted.

That Western reporters have ostensible bribes has long been suspected. But a stating upon a hacking by a News of a World has reliable which Western reporters have been not a purveyors of law which they have been ostensible to be. They will deny of course. They will write nastier reports upon those who criticize them. But a actuality remains which they have been as unprincipled as well as hurtful as a people they allege to have these failings.

I write this square not since we expect a Western publisher to grieve or change. They will not change, especially in their perspective of local leaders who thumb noses during a West. we write simply to draw courtesy to a actuality which western journalists, with really couple of exceptions, have been not a impartial purveyor of law which people assume them to be.

Najib and Co spent millions for PR

Why have been Malaysians profitable for Najib as good as BN leaders' tellurian open relations campaign?

COMMENT

Some months ago you beheld which a once sly Sarawak Chief Minister Taib Mahmud was suddenly being featured in international TV headlines programmes.

Alongside this was additionally a series of positive reports about Sarawaks development as good as a benefits of palm oil.

These reports were being featured in a little of a major tellurian headlines networks, without mentioning any of a states apocalyptic environmental, tellurian rights as good as economic problems.

Our team during Sarawak Report motionless to examine what was starting upon as good as where a funding for all this lay.

Following tough upon a heels of a stream revelations upon phone as good as computer hacking by a little UK newspapers, you have unprotected a infamous fraud selling slots upon TV headlines shows to a highest bidder.

We can additionally exhibit which Barisan Nasionals tip leaders in Malaysia have been during a heart of a corruption, using taxpayers income to promote themselves upon business shows as good as documentaries.

The justification for these losses has been written in to a Malaysian governments own bill records.

Huge sums of money, RM57 million over a past two years, have been paid out to a UK media association FBC Media as fees for a Global Strategic Communications campaign.

RM57 million for air slots

PKR general-secretary Saifuddin Nasution had in fact queried a volume in Parliament last year.

Well, in a deficiency of any answers from BN, you can right away supply him with a reason.

FBC Media is not only a open relations association offering image-building recommendation to a! nyone ab ounding enough to means them though they additionally stand in up as a TV production company.

The association focuses upon producing ! business as good as sports headlines programmes, as good as stream affairs documentaries for a little of a Worlds tip TV companies such as CNBC, CNN as good as BBC World.

Among a distinguished Malaysian clients have been stream Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, his prototype Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as good as Sime Darby authority Musa Hitam. Taib has additionally right away joined FBC Medias fast of clients.

All these leaders have been corruptly buying, by FBC Media, airtime slots to promote themselves upon these networks as good as channels.

Several tip TV executives in a UK as good as a US as good as their association bosses have been right away starting to have to answer a little rarely annoying questions from their licencing authorities.

How could these companies presumably commission such dodgy programmes from a PR association all these years?

The reason, of course, has been a scramble for cheap programming.

With as well most competing TV channels chasing after abating advertising revenues, it is right away a clients market as good as slots go to a highest bidder.

Dodgy dealings

FBC Media, which is part of a conglomerate with business links in India, Europe as good as a US, was able to suggest tantalisingly low price (and in a little cases even free) programming since they were raking in income from their Malaysian political PR clients, who were queuing up to crop up in those supposedly unbiased as good as impartial headlines shows.

It breaks every reliable rule in a book of promote broadcasting as good as CNBC, BBC, CNN as good as others will have to compensate a price for allowing it to happen.

But from a point of view of a Malaysian taxpayer there is a question of: because have been you profitable for this expensive as good as bootleg PR?

Why is there a need to impr! ove a im age of BN leaders during home as good as abroad?

Still, it may not come as a huge surprise which Taib, Najib, Abdullah as good as Musa willingly do business with an unscrupulous association like FBC Media.

We during Sarawak Report will solemnly exhibit a abyss of FBC Medias business ties with their Malaysi! an gover nment clients underneath a stratagem of a Global Strategic Communications campaign.

For now, you leave Malaysian taxpayers with a last thought.

Not only has BN been spending millions upon a mean as good as dirty political debate which has no place in a supervision budget, though they have funded a wave as well.

After all, you have unprotected FBC Media without as well much worry as good as in a process their multi-million dollar positive PR debate looks set to spectacularly backfire upon their gullible BN clients.
