"The supervision alienated the land as remuneration in kind for the building the sum of the fusillade which price RM150 million.
"In sequence to have the land some-more valuable, the supervision afterwards built the Borneo Convention Centre (BCCK), which assigned the few acres of the land.
"The contract for the building the sum of BCCK which was value RM200 million was since to CMS.
"After it was completed, BCCK was looked after by the management association whose directors have been Taib's sister Raziah as well as his son, Abu Bekir."
But since BCCK alone would not progress the value of the land as well as the vicinity much, they roped in the Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation (Sesco).
According to Chong, Sesco decided to set up the second domicile in the Isthmus in the two-acre site which it paid for for RM10 million from CMS Land.

Thus, CMS Land would maintain an contingent shareholding equivalent to 10.3 percent in Isthmus Development.

Why vigil aunty caused a storm: media freedom without an ethical code
YESTERDAY: 'Live' khalwat raid by TV vigil aunty [video]
The Maya Khan "vigil aunty" controversy has put the focus upon the flourishing clash in in between conservatism as good as liberalism in Pakistani society, as good as vigour upon the young, the flourishing strech of online media, as good as the uncertain growth of the mass media uncertain of doing the new freedom.
Nosheen Abbas, BBC match in Islamabad, spoke to immature couples as good as summed up the clash of cultures in her report Why 'vigil aunty' caused Pakistan media storm
What immature couples say
"It's very formidable to go to places with the girl. Even if we want to reason her palm people demeanour during you in the bad way.
"I am essentially quite religious, even though I'm wearing jeans, though people would demeanour during me strangely as good as contend I'm not the good Muslim or person," the single male says.
A immature lady said: "Yes, we listened about what Maya Khan did, though we don't caring what people think. we will reason my husband's hand, we am perfectly comfortable with it even if others aren't."
Her father said: "There have been the little places where we can show open displays of love similar to holding her palm though there have been additionally places where it is formidable to do that."
You do see open displays of love in Pakistan, though rarely in in between men as good as women. It is some-more common to see immature men, quite those from poorer backgrounds, holding hands, fingers tightly interlocked.
Media right away the third force, uncertain of the own power
This part additionally exposes the pitfalls of Pakistan's media, freer! than ev er prior to as good as often referred to as the "third post of society".
But the open believes the media act as if they have unquestionable authority that might go the little approach towards explaining how the group of women took it upon themselves to police people's personal affairs in public, upon live television.
Pakistan's media have been still finding their feet as good as lack the formula of conduct.
For now, the courts might suggest the little people protection from intrusion.
Human rights activist Farzana Bari not long ago appeared upon the state-run TV show quoting article fourteen of the Pakistan penal code, that allows the chairman to take legal movement opposite someone who publicly humiliates another.
But litigation is expensive as good as many people might simply cite to be able to go about their affairs without being hounded.
The in isolation media attention is burgeoning in Pakistan as good as has grown largely unchecked in the battle for ratings.
Many commentators argue that populist programmes as good as in the little cases "vigilante television" have been an unavoidable effect of such the system.
For others, Maya Khan is just the pitch of the regressive mindset vigilant upon aggressive personal freedoms.

Too many cooks!
I have been a single of a initial to voice out about a mushrooming of healing schools as great as a prolongation of as great most doctors as early as a couple of years ago. we have voiced my concern upon a peculiarity of brand new doctors as a remarkable mushrooming of healing schools have resulted in an acute necessity of great healing teachers.
Now, even a method has acknowledged this actuality as great as a moratorium is right away in place to forestall granting of some-more license to set up some-more healing schools in a country.
ALready, our healthcare complement is facing a complaint of producing as great most nurses.
Nurses have been an critical partial of any sanatorium care. A great nursing customary is required to safeguard that a sanatorium patients getting a caring prescribed by a doctors, as great as really often a mental state of a patient is shabby by a manner in that nursing caring is being dispensed to that particular patient, as great as that mental state can play a consequential partial in a liberation from an illness.
We have been right away producing some-more than 12000 nurses a year, as great as a requirement for brand new nurses is only about a single to two thousand a year. There have been right away so most public as great as in isolation colleges conducting nurses courses that i have lost tract, as great as nurses have been being topsy-turvy out identical to cars in an public line.
What has been noticed is that as a outcome of carrying so most nursing colleges in a reduced time, nursing customary is upon a decline since a mushrooming of nursing colleges put strains upon a availability of efficient teachers, as great as a unsentimental aspects. Some of a nurses under precision confessed that they sometimes have only a single or 2 patients in a reserved sanatorium to practise their nursing skills, as great as this is grossly unsound for them to perfect their nursing skills.
As a result, a small of a nurses being construct! ed have been below par when compared to nurses constructed in a 70s as great as 80s.
This is identical to a as great most housemen problems that we have brought out in my serials upon 'a alloy as great most I,II III .." .
so i envisage that a great healthcare customary that was put in place by a British we am against colonialism as great as am only uttering a fac is right away being slowly as great as surely been eroded, as great as that we have been perplexing to reinstate peculiarity with quantity.
The same thing is happening to a Medical lab technologists (those who conducts a red blood tests in lab) as great as radiographers ( those assisting a radiologists to take Xrays). There have been simply as great most of these, too!
I was told that even there have been additionally as great most pharmacists being produced. This will lead to foe as great as undercutting in future, as great as this will inevitably lead to a small pharmacists, in sequence to survive, fixation their own profitability forward of their veteran ethics.
The whole healthcare manpower situation is a mess.
This is a direct results of mushrooming of in isolation colleges as great as universities, set up by those who caring not so most about a needs of a nation, though some-more for a profit that they can reap by setting up such colleges( Tuition fees have been right away most times aloft than before). These people have been usually those who have domestic connections as great as they can simply get licenses to set up as great as operate such colleges.
You would design a college to have during slightest a couple of buildings as great as a tiny campus. But no, a small of these colleges have been housed in only a 4 level building.
More importantly, since of a foe among each other for teaching staff, a small of a teachers hardly encounter a minimum requirements as great as lack experience . Because of foe for sourcing students, tyro entry customary is additionally being compromised.
Prof! essional march such as medicine, nursing, curative field requires sanatorium as great as patients to sight as fundamentally these have been apprenticeship. BUt with so most colleges as great as schools, there is only not sufficient precision positions to safeguard that these people get a correct precision that they need to turn a efficient professional.
This leads to a state of carrying as great most graduates in these fields that have small unsentimental experience.
In a end, we will finish up identical to in a Philipines, where doctors have been being retrained as nurses, though with our nurses being in surplus too, maybe a small of a nurses need to be retrain to turn hospitals Amah as great as attendants. Don't be surprised that a small will finish up selling nasi lemak , chicken rice or roti canai.
Malaysia boleh!

The Southern Front On The War On Terror
Remember a adage, an rivalry of your rivalry is your friend. Well afterwards in that case, I'll similar to to deliver to you, my brand brand new friends called Zaki Zahid, Ghani Othman, Lim Kang Hoo as well as an entity to whom a Mahabloggers impute to many disrespectfully as a Ghost Of Johor. Out of apply oneself to a institution a Ghost of Johor is ostensible to represent, you shall no longer impute to it as a Ghost of Johor.
The upon top of four folks have been a target of a lot of attacks by a Big 3 Mahabloggers with a Big Cat named Ai getting increasingly guilty by association. Whatever they have been doing, upon interest of a 80% Malaysians who conflict Dr Mahathir, you would similar to to say
"THANK YOU"
to these brave men.
And since is that? By laying out a attacks, a single contingency know that this is concurrent as well as planned.This is not a a single off or only pointless whacks, no it bears a trademark style of an "blogger characterassassination" job, a pursuit these guys have been so famous for.
And since is that? By laying out a attacks, a single contingency know that this is concurrent as well as planned.This is not a a single off or only pointless whacks, no it bears a trademark style of an "blogger characterassassination" job, a pursuit these guys have been so famous for.
The question you should ask is "why?"
This is my theory.
you hold that right now, Maha cronies have been being squeezed out of Johor, as well as for that you salute all involved. These Mahacronies would have been eyeing discerning fix, land flipping, crony similar to contracts. However, due to a stream circumstances, they find their path blocked. These folk afterwards would have got in touch with a Mahabloggers. Money would hav! epresuma blychangedhands as well as afterwards a Mahabloggers would have got together to tract their strategy.
However, apart from only giving a biggest sense of euphoria to all a anti Maha's out there, you am utterly surprised as what this attacks have been ostensible to achieve.
you think a Mahabloggers should perhaps take a bit of Ibrahim Ali's recommendation as well as to show most more deference to a institutions whose members have been blue blooded. And furthermore, you find it to be a height ofhypocrisythat Mahabloggers have been frankly using such demeaning epithets upon those institutions when they formerly have savaged a DAP for most less.
"Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman pronounced Gwee was being extremely disrespectful by refusing to wear a correct attire generally a songkok in a Sultan's presence.
The utter disregard as well as irritability to HRH Sultans right away escalated to His Majesty Seri Paduka Yang DiPertuan Agong.
Yesterday, in His Majesty Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Ibni Sultan Mahmood official visit to Penang, a Chinese Chauvinist DAP Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng acted rude to a King. He used his index finger to point, instead of a thumb.

PS: The title "The Southern Front" refers to a i! ncident in World War II when Nazi Germany had to face an assault from a Western as well as a Eastern front. Hopefully, a same will happen to a Mahas as well as "those a Mahas have insulted" will see that a order contingency have come from most aloft powers, if not these Mahabloggers would not have proceeded.

Can Johor Fall?
Well, I've got about twenty-five mins to try as well as come out with anon Parpubased posting as well as what improved approach than to call into question a usual wisdom that states BN in Johor is impregnable.
Lets cut to a chase as well as check out this graph
The bars in red impute to DUN's formed upon 2008 voter demographic that is reduction than 60% Malay. Further engaging reading is as follows:18 of those seats have comprehensive non Malay majority.Of those 18 seats, a normal Chinese race is about 55%, a minimum is 36%.
The engaging distribution, in actuality a vital rise is during a interlude between 50% - 60% Malay. The normal Chinese is about 38%, a normal Indian is about 7%.
Ok so what does all of this mumbo jumbo mean.
The Chinese opinion is actually most reduction fractured than a Malay or Indian opinion for that matter. If in truth a tsunami hits Johor, you can design something similar to 70% of Chinese voting for Pakatan, as a minimum. (This is what happened in 2008. But in 2012, you got some brand brand new thingy called Perkas! a hooray !)
The seats afterwards demeanour something similar to this
The bars in red paint areas where 70% of a Chinese opinion alone accounts for greater than 35% of a sum vote. So in a place similar to Tangkak, 70% of a Chinese opinion going to Pakatan equates to that in a bag Pakatan has 37% of a sum vote. All they need to do is get another 13%, that is highly practicable for them to take a seat.
On a other hand, places similar to Semarang, Sedili as well as Pasir Raja have a high Malay representation, so 70% of a Chinese opinion still equates to nothing.
The black line shows where a DUN majority lies.
Lets demeanour during it in finer detail, all areas where Pakatan has in a bag 30% of a sum electorate, by trait of taking 70% of a Chinese vote.
What do you have. The DUNs in red have been probably in a bag for Pakatan. twelve DUNs in all.
There have been a serve twenty-three Duns where Pakatan is competitive since of a Chinese vote, though still not positive of victory. But in probably all of these DUN's Pakatan has a bottom of during about 30% of a vote. So they have been very competitive.
If Pakatan slams a initial 12, as well as wins 50-50 a upon top of center ground duns, afterwards you get Pakatan with twelve + 0.5*23 = twenty-three seats in a Johor DUN. BN will have 33 seats.
!
So BN still retains with a slim 10 seat majority, disposed to hopping of course.
Maybe not enough to take a Government, though that is presumption a rest of a seats work towards BN. And you have been completely discounting PAS or PKR making in roads into a Malay dominated areas, that you never know.
Conclusion:
Well looking from a despotic demographic view, it is positively very easy for Pakatan to during slightest have twenty-three elected member in a Johor Assembly if a stream polemic still continues. An comprehensive feat is still possible, they would only need to win an additional 5, as well as who knows, a Kluk Klek could deliver upsets of their own.

Hang Li Po dan Hang Tuah: Benar atau dongeng?
Winston Churchill (Wiki commons)
"HISTORY is created by the victors" atau "Sejarah ditulis oleh orang yang menang atau berkuasa". Ungkapan yang begitu terkenal namun tiada orang yang tahu siapa yang pertama kali mengungkapkannya. Ada yang kata Winston Churchill tapi ramai yang meraguinya. Soalan yang menarik untuk kita adalah jika kita tidak tahu sejarah asal-usul ungkapan itu, dan tiada dokumentasi tentang siapa yang sebenarnya telah mengeluarkan kata-kata itu, maka apakah kita boleh mengatakan bahawa ungkapan itu hanyalah suatu dongeng?
Baru-baru ini, Emeritus Prof Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim telah melontarkan kenyataan yang mengejutkan. Beliau mendakwa Hang Tuah dan Hang Li Po tidak pernah wujud dan hanya mitos belaka.
Beberapa ahli sejarah telah menolak dakwaan Khoo dan tetap mempertahankan kewujudan Hang Tuah. Senator Dr Syed Husin Ali pula telah membidas kenyataan Khoo tentang sejarah Partai Kebangsaan Melayu Malaysia dan Ahmad Boestamam. Sementara menunggu komen balas dari Khoo, patut kita bertanya apakah kriteria untuk sesuatu itu diiktiraf sebagai sejarah sahih? Dan sejarah siapakah yang dianggap penting dan benar?
Barat dan Timur
Oleh kerana saya kini di Indonesia, saya pun meminta pendapat Pak Agus Sunyoto, seorang ahli sejahrawan dan budayawan serta pensyarah di Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia. Menurut Pak Agus, sejahrawan harus berhati-hati agar tidak terjebak dengan kaedah pengkajian sejarah positivistik yang terlalu memberi keutamaan terhadap dokumen rasmi be! rtulis d an bahan fizikal dalam mengakui kewujudan sesuatu. Yang mereka anggap naskah historis adalah yang berupa deskriptif, laporan dan catatan-catatan seperti yang lazim ditulis oleh orang Barat.
Pak Agus mengingatkan bahawa tradisi pemahaman sejarah di timur sangat berbeza sekali kerana ia juga banyak diungkapkan dalam bentuk-bentuk lain seperti naskah-naskah sastera dan secara lisan. Malahan, sejarah di nusantara ini banyak ditulis dalam bentuk penceritaan seperti hikayat atau bentuk-bentuk kakawin, kidung, tembang, dan pantun seperti syair, gurindam dan sajak.
Pak Agus (Sumbangan Norhayati Kaprawi)
Naskah Sulalatus Salatin iaitu Sejarah Melayu adalah salah satu contohnya. Karya sejarah yang ditulis sendiri oleh orang Melayu di Melaka pada abad ke-15 atau ke-16 menceritakan tentang kebangkitan, kegemilangan dan kejatuhan Kesultanan Melayu Melaka. Naskah inilah yang menyebutkan bahawa Hang Tuah ialah nama yang diberikan oleh Sultan Mansur Shah kepada seorang pemuda dari Makassar.
Cheng Ho (Wiki commons)
Pak Agus maklum bahawa ramai ahli akademik gemar bergantung pada dokumen-dokumen rasmi kerajaan sahaja seperti dokumen kerajaan Cina di zaman Dinasti Ming. Menurut beliau, pendekatan sedemikian membuatkan ramai sejahrawan akademik sehingga yang bergelar profesor dan doktor telah menolak sejarah tentang kedatangan Cheng Ho ke Semarang, Jawa Tengah atas sandaran hujah tiadanya catatan dalam dokumen rasmi kerajaan Cina.
Namun, Pak Agus berhujah bahawa tidak semua perjalanan Cheng Ho dilaporkan secara formal. Ini terbukti kerana walaupun tiada catatan rasmi tentang persinggahan Cheng Ho ke Blambangan, Jawa Timur, namun terdapat laporan sejarah tentang kematian 170 orang askar Cheng Ho di Blambangan! semasa peperangan dengan tentera Majapahit. Maka, ia jelas menunjukkan tidak semua persinggahan Cheng Ho dicatatkan secara rasmi oleh kerajaan Cina.
Pada Pak Agus, jika catatan rasmi bertulis sesuatu kerajaan sahaja yang mahu dijadikan sebagai parameter, maka ia akan mengakibatkan sejarah bangsa lain mungkin sekali menjadi tidak teriktiraf kesahihan dan kewujudannya.
Syed Husin juga pernah membuat kritikan serupa di dalam bukunya yang diterbitkan pada 1978, Orang Melayu: Masalah dan Masa Depan. Beliau menolak kaedah dan perspektif ahli sejarah Orientalis Barat yang gemar merendahkan dan menuduh orang Melayu sebagai tidak mempunyai sejarah.
Menurut Syed Husin, ahli-ahli sejarah tempatan telah berjaya membuktikan bahawa masyarakat Melayu mempunyai sejarah yang lebih tua dan gemilang berbanding penjajah Barat. Dan sekiranya sejarah orang Melayu begitu tua, apa lagi sejarah orang asli dan orang asal yang pastinya jauh lebih tua walaupun tidak bertulis?
Peringatan ini penting untuk jabatan-jabatan kerajaan Malaysia. Tuntutan dokumentasi bertulis sebagai bukti terhadap pemilikan tanah atau status kewarganegaraan telah banyak mengakibatkan orang asal dan pribumi di Malaysia teraniaya dan kehilangan hak mereka.
Di mana herstory pula?
Hang Li Po (Wiki commons)
Dari ungkapan "History is created by the victors" juga ada satu kata kunci yang ingin saya komentar. Perkataan "history" selalunya memang secara literal bermakna "his story" pencatatan sejarah yang disampaikan oleh lelaki dan biasanya juga tentang lelaki.
Menurut Pak Agus, konteks masyarakat pencatat sejarah sangat penting diambil kira. Sikap patriaki yang melebihkan kekuasaan lelaki dari perempuan terbukti sangat besar pengaruhnya. Lalu menurut beliau, tidak tercatatnya perkahwinan Puteri Hang Li Po itu memang boleh difahami memandangkan betapa kuatnya nilai patriaki dalam tradisi Cina.
! Oleh ker ana keturunan berdasarkan jalur darah ahli keluarga laki-laki, dan pewaris kerajaan mestilah dari keturunan lelaki, maka kerajaan Cina mungkin saja tidak melihat perkahwinan Puteri Hang Li Po sebagai sesuatu yang penting untuk dicatat secara rasmi. Malahan, dengan pernikahan itu, sang puteri dan anak cucunya dianggap telah kehilangan nama keluarganya.
Seperti masyarakat Cina, masyarakat Arab juga sangat kuat tradisi patriakinya. Begitu kuat sehingga kekayaan budaya penulisan tarajim (kamus biografi) masyarakat Arab masih tidak dapat membantu dalam memperkenalkan sarjana-sarjana dan ulama-ulama perempuan Arab bukan sahaja pada dunia, malah pada masyarakat Arab sendiri. Ada keengganan di pihak ulama dan pendakwah laki-laki untuk mencatat dan menyebarkan maklumat mengenai kewujudan dan kehebatan sarjana dan ulama-ulama perempuan di zaman silam.
Ahli sufi perempuan terkenal, Rabiah Al Adawiyah, diragui kewujudannya kerana berkurun lamanya, nama Rabiah hilang dalam catatan sejarah. Namanya tidak didokumentasikan oleh ramai ulama lelaki walaupun nama anak-anak muridnya dan ahli-ahli sufi lelaki yang hidup setelah Rabiah dicatatkan dengan terperinci.
Pada bulan Januari ini, sebuah buku berjudul Syahadah Cinta Rabiah Al Adawiyah telah dilancarkan. Penulisnya, Mohamad Guntur Romli, merasa perlu menjelaskan mengapa berkurun lamanya, nama Rabiah Al Adawiyah hanya dicatat secara remeh di dalam sejarah, dan namanya tidak disenaraikan dalam barisan ahli sufi.
Rabiah Al Adawiyah (Wiki commons)
Hasil penelitiannya terhadap kitab-kitab Islam klasik, maka terungkaplah bagaimana pengaruh patriaki dan sikap diskriminasi terhadap perempuan memberi pengaruh terhadap pencatatan sejarah. Akibat kurangnya ulama yang mahu mengiktiraf ketokohan Rabiah Al Adawiyah, maka sejarahnya banyak bercampur mitos. Malah, seperti nasib Puteri Hang Li Po, mungkin ada yang justeru menolak kewujudannya dan ! mengangg ap beliau sekadar mitos yang tidak pernah hidup bernafas di muka bumi ini.
Kini semakin banyak penelitian yang mengungkap kewujudan sarjana dan ulama-ulama perempuan.Dr Syeikh Mohammad Akram Nadwi, seorang sarjana di Universiti Oxford, telah menulis buku Al-Muhaddithat: The Women Scholars in Islam yang menelusuri kitab-kitab klasik dan menemukan lebih dari 8,000 wanita perawi hadith. Ulama-ulama perempuan itu didapati sering mengajar di masjid-masjid besar dan di madrasah-madrasah serta mengembara jauh untuk menimba ilmu.
Hang Tuah (Wiki commons)
Ramai ulama lelaki yang dianggap ulama besar sebenarnya telah belajar dari ulama-ulama fiqah perempuan, dan ulama-ulama lelaki itu sangat memuji-muji kebijaksanaan dan ketinggian ilmu guru-guru mereka yang terdiri dari orang perempuan. Menurut kajian Dr Syeikh Akram, ulama-ulama perempuan tersebut mempunyai kuasa dan pengaruh yang agak besar di dalam masyarakat mereka, dan itu merupakan suatu kebiasaan, bukan sesuatu yang luarbiasa.
Siapa yang menentukan?
Sejarah itu penting sebab ia dapat membantu kita memahami keadaan semasa. Lihat sahaja sejarah mahasiswa-mahasiswi tahun 1960an dan 1970an di Malaysia kalau kita hendak memahami asal-usul undang-undang hari ini seperti Akta Universiti dan Kolej Universiti.
Sejarah juga penting sebab sejarah memberitahu kita siapakah yang berkuasa pada zaman dulu dan sekarang, dan siapa yang ingin mengekalkan kuasanya.
Seorang tokoh sejarah seperti Khoo memang mempunyai hak untuk memberi pendapatnya mengenai Hang Tuah dan Hang Li Poh. Namun, apa yang lebih penting adalah cara apa yang diutamakan dan cara mana yang diketepikan dalam mengiktiraf sesuatu itu sebagai sahih dan wujud.
Norhayati Kaprawi adalah seorang aktivis wanita dan juga pembuat filem. Dia percaya pintu pendemokrasian ilmu di Malaysia memerlukan keterbukaan yang lebih luas.

The Prophet's sense of humour
As Muslims a world over commemorate a birthday of Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace as well as blessings, they have been reminded of his model conduct. But there is a single side of a Prophet that is mostly missed.
The Messenger of Allah is an e.g. for a Muslim to follow in each aspect of life, as it is referred to in by Allah in a Quran:
Ye have indeed in a Messenger of Allah a pleasing pattern (of conduct) for any a single whose goal is in Allah as well as a Final Day, as well as who engages much in a Praise of Allah. (Meaning of a Qur'an, 33:21)
Even in fooling around as well as carrying a great clarity of humour, Prophet Muhammad has set an e.g. for us.
It is reported that a Prophet was asked by his companions: "You have been fooling around with us." He said, "But you never contend anything though a truth."
[Sahih Bukhari]
The Prophet used to joke, though he never pronounced anything though a law in his jokes. The Companions took a same approach to humour. There have been most delightful reports about a jokes exchanged in in between a Prophet as well as a Companions.
Among a stories related in a books of Hadith as well as Sirah (life-story of a Prophet) is a inform that a Prophet used to fun with a tiny kid of a single of a Companions, a kid called Abu 'Umayr, who had a tiny bird he used to fool around with.
One day he saw a kid seeking sad, so he said, "Why do you see Abu 'Umayr seeking sad?" The Companion told him, "The nughar [a tiny bird, identical to a sparrow] that he used to fool around with, has died, O Messenger of Allah."
The Prophet began to kindl! y fun wi th a child, saying, "O Abu Umayr, what happened to a nughayr?" [Nughayr: petite of nughar.In Arabic, this is a fool around upon words, since of a rhyme in in between a boy's name as well as that of a bird].
A male came to a Prophet to ask him to give him a beast to ride. The Prophet jokingly told him, "I will give you a offspring of a she-camel to ride." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what will you do with a offspring of a she-camel?" The Prophet said: "Are riding-camels innate solely from she-camels?" [Reported by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud as well as al-Tirmidhi].
Imam Ahmad garbage bin Hanbal reported from Anas that there was a male from a dried people whose name was Zahir. He used to move gifts from a dried to a Prophet, as well as in return a Prophet would yield him with whatever he indispensable when he went out to fight. The Prophet said, "Zahir is our male of a desert, as well as you have been his town-dwellers."
The Prophet desired him really much, as well as he (Zahir) was an nauseous man. One day a Prophet came to him while he was offered a little goods. He embraced him from behind. The male could not see him, so he said, "Let me go! Who is this?" Then he incited around as well as recognized a Prophet, so he attempted to move closer to him once he knew who it was. The Prophet proposed to say, "Who will buy this slave?" Zahir said, "O Messenger of Allah , you will find me unsellable." The Prophet said, "But in a steer of Allah you have been not unsellable," or he said: "But in a steer of Allah you have been valuable."
There is no clearer indication than these as well as identical reports of a lightheartedness as well as clarity of humour that Islam wants a supporters to have. These qualities will have a chairman cooperative as well as likeable, that will capacitate him to win people's hearts. No a single needs such characteristics some-more than a Muslim who seeks to call others to Islam.
An aged lady came to a Prophet as well as said: "O ! Messenge r of Allah, urge to Allah that you will enter Paradise." He pronounced jokingly, "O Mother of so-and-so, no aged lady will enter Paradise." The aged lady went away crying, so a Prophet said, "Tell her that she will not enter Paradise as an aged woman, for Allah says: (We have created [their Companions] of special creation, as well as made them virgin-pure [and undefiled]) [Quran 56:35-36]." [Reported by al-Tirmidhi].
One of a hadiths that reflects a Prophet's clarity of humour as well as enjoyment of fun is a inform that Imam Ahmad gives from A'ishah who said: "I went out with a Prophet upon a journey. At that time you was a young girl as well as was utterly slender. The Prophet told a people, 'Go upon ahead,' so they went ahead, then he pronounced to me, 'Come, let us have a race.' So you raced with him, as well as you won. He let a have a difference rest until you had gained weight. Later, you accompanied him upon another journey. He told a people, 'Go upon ahead,' so they went ahead. He pronounced to me, 'Come, let us have a race.' So you raced with him, as well as he won. He began to laugh, as well as said, 'This is for that."'
The Companions saw zero wrong with fooling around or carrying fun, as they saw a Prophet, their leader as well as teacher, spasmodic doing so. The most delightful stories about their clarity of humour simulate a easy-going nature of a first Islamic society, as well as how distant private it was from narrow-mindedness as well as gloom.
In al-Adab al-Mufrad, Imaam Bukhari reports from Bakr ibn 'Abdillah who said: "The Companions of a Prophet used to throw melon-rinds at a single another, though when a have a difference was serious, they were a usually loyal men."
This is moderate, Islamically acceptable humour, that does not go over a end of truth, or relieve a gravitas or strength of a person. Rather, it serves a purpose of lovely hearts as well as minds.
An e.g. of a Companions' clarity of humour, that made a Prophet ! laugh, i s a inform given by Imam Ahmad from Umm Salamah. Abu Bakr went to do business in Busra, as well as with him were Nu'ayman as well as Suwaybit ibn Harmalah, both of whom had been benefaction at Badr. Suwaybit was in charge of food upon a journey, as well as Nu'ayman pronounced to him, "Feed me!" Suwaybit said, "Not until Abu Bakr comes." Nu'ayman was a fun-loving male with a clarity of humour, so he went to a little people who had brought stock with them, as well as said, "Will you buy a stout Arab worker from me?" They said, "Yes." He said, "He has a big mouth, as well as he might tell you that he is a giveaway man. If that equates to that you do not wish to take him, then dont think about a matter, as well as do not cause difficulty for me with him." They said, "No problem, you will buy him." So they paid for him for 10 young she-camels. Nu'ayman brought a animals back, as well as told a people: "There he is!"
Suwaybit said: "I am a giveaway man!" They said, "He has already told us all about you," as well as put a rope around his neck as well as led him away. Then Abu Bakr came, as well as was told what had happened. He as well as his Companions went as well as returned a animals as well as took Suwaybit back. They told a Prophet what had happened, as well as he as well as his Companions would giggle about a story for a year afterwards.
A Bedouin came to a Prophet. He entered a mosque as well as left his camel in a courtyard. Some of his Companions pronounced to Nu'ayman ibn 'Amr al-Ansari, who was well known as al-Nu'ayman: "If you massacre it, you will eat it, since you wish to have a little meat, as well as a Messenger of Allah will compensate for it."
So al-Nu'ayman slaughtered it. Then a Bedouin came out as well as saw his saddle, so he shouted, "They have slaughtered my camel, O Muhammad!" The Prophet came out as well as asked: "Who did this?" They said, "Al-Nu'ayman."
So he went seeking for him, as well as found him at a home of Duba'ah bint al-Zuba! yr ibn ' Abdul Muttalib, where he had hidden in a embankment as well as covered himself with palm branches as well as leaves. A male pointed to where he was as well as said, loudly, "I have not seen him, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet brought him out of a ditch, as well as his face was unwashed from where a leaves had fallen upon him. The Prophet asked him, "Why did you do that?" Al-Nu'ayman said: "The ones who told you where you was, O Messenger of Allah, have been a same ones who told me to do it." The Prophet began wiping his face as well as laughing, then he paid a price of a slaughtered camel. [Hayat as-Sahabah]
There is no clearer indication than these as well as identical reports of a lightheartedness as well as clarity of humour that Islam wants a supporters to have. These qualities will have a chairman cooperative as well as likeable, that will capacitate him to win people's hearts. No a single needs such characteristics some-more than a Muslim who seeks to call others to Islam.

Umno will collapse in the next general election
Moaz Nair
Lynas Corporation has two major operations: a mining as good as thoroughness plant atMount Weld,Western Australia, as good as a refining trickery right away under building a total atGebeng, 25kms divided from Kuantan,Malaysia subsequent to an bankrupt fishing village. The trickery would be a first singular earth processing plant after about thirty years to be built outside China where frequency regulated factories have left immeasurable poisonous as good as hot rubbish sites.
According to reports, a refining trickery was not since a green light to be built in Australia since of a intensity risk to a environment. Australia is additionally home to an environmentally minded as good as politically absolute Green party. One of their fears is which a plant will leak hot as good as poisonous materials in to a H2O list in a ground, causing mistreat to a environment. Understandably, countries with their own singular earth ore deposits have been not regularly fervent to fool around horde to a refineries which process them.
Inviting Lynas to set up a refinery in Malaysia has met with a lot of dissent from a internal people though this has not been highlighted by a pro-UMNO media for fright which Lynas will be a single a causes for a tumble of UMNO in a subsequent ubiquitous election. But a obligatory supervision cannot stop a plan which is about to complete a refinery complex, as there has already been an irrevocable agreement signed upon this. Furthermore, millions of ringgit has been pumped in to building a sprawling complex. The supervision is ! right aw ay faced with a Catch-22 quandary, though out of no choice as good as since of a contractual joining to Lynas, a plan has to continue to a displeasure of a people.
Refining singular earth ore customarily leaves thousands of tons of low-level hot rubbish behind. Although singular earths have been not hot in inlet a intensity jeopardy comes from a preferred metals such as neodymium as good as yttrium being found in ore which contains hot thorium.
Is it a viable project?
The world to illustrate distant has largely left a grimy work to refineries in China which have been frequency regulated as good as in a little cases illegally operated. China has all this while combined immeasurable poisonous as good as hot rubbish sites which have turn an irritant to a sourroundings as good as influenced tellurian lives.
In Gebeng, Kuantan a refinery is built circuitously an area already environmentally shop-worn by a containing alkali plants which have been found around a mud-spattered Balok River as good as multiform streams as good as tributaries which flow in to a stream as good as a circuitously sea . It is built upon a 250 acres of reclaimed porous tropical engulf land where any poisonous rubbish can easily trickle in to a belligerent as good as hit a H2O list . Despite a intensity hazards, a Malaysian supervision was fervent for investment by Lynas, Is it a viable plan for Malaysians? It has been since a generous understanding pioneer standing including a 12-year tax exemption. However, it is usually expected to occupy about 350 high-skilled workforce often foreigners. At a benefaction singular earth prices, a refinery will be means to generate $ 1.7billion a year in exports commencement late subsequent year. The association will have huge increase though profitable any tax to a Malaysian supervision for during slightest twelve years.
But a ore processing is though disbelief starting to yield considerable amounts of thorium-containing t! ailings. The reduced as good as prolonged term storage of this hot element is still a matter until right away not resolved by Lynas. And hence a protests from chateau vital inside of a plan closeness is justifiable. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), however, was reported to have pronounced which 'the Lynas project's altogether design as good as programmed operations procedures met international standards'. To a ordinary people, they feel which a inform presumably did not examine building a total sum or engineering decisions involved in building a complex.
Shortcomings to a construction
It a New York Times report, it was revealed a little of a 'defaults' in a building a total of this plan complex:
" a problems include constructional cracks, air pockets as good as leaks in most of a petrify shells for 70 containment tanks, a little of which have been larger than double-decker buses. Ore mined deep in a Australian desert as good as shipped to Malaysia would be churned with absolute acids to have a slightly hot slurry which would be pumped by a tanks, with operating temperatures of about 200 degrees Fahrenheit."
". some-more critically a toxic, corrosive as good as hot inlet of a materials being leached in these tanks, should they leak, will most really emanate a contamination issue."
" which roughly all of a steel piping systematic for a plant is done from standard steel, which they report as not suited for a corrosive, disintegrating slurry. Rare earth refineries in alternative countries have heavy make make use of of of costlier immaculate steel or steel piping with ceramic or rubber liners."
". which a petrify armoured column were built using required concrete, not a most costlier polymer petrify churned with cosmetic which is widely used in refineries in a West to revoke a possibility of cracks."
" which reduced cuts were taken upon a building a total of a LAMP which enclosed a make make use of of o! f cheape r standard steel instead of a some-more expensive materials to understanding with a radioactive, super exhilarated as good as highly corrosive slurry used in a plant."
" it is plagued by environmentally dangerous building a total as good as design problems."
" which a refinery's petrify foundations were built though a thin layer of cosmetic which competence forestall a petrify pilings from sketch dampness from a reclaimed swampland underneath. The site is located usually inland from a coastal mangrove forest, as good as multiform miles up a stream which flows out to a sea past an bankrupt fishing village."
" which a blueprints called for a cosmetic waterproofing though which he was systematic to omit it, to save money."
Cannot give a acceptable explanation
Right or wrong, a people have all a reason to be discreet for permitting Lynas to set up a plant in Malaysia. The country's last singular earth refinery operated by a Japanese association Mitsubishi Chemical is right away a single of Asia's largest hot rubbish cleanup sites. That plant had to tighten down in 1992 after most years of nauseous protests by citizens.
Are Malaysians ancillary an investment by a association which until currently cannot give a acceptable explanation upon how most appropriate to draw up of singular earth wastes? Is a supervision too desperate to capture Foreign Direct Investment (FDI which it has to hillside in Lynas during a expense of illness as good as a toxic-free environment?
Granting Lynas a temporary license (TOL) to work a contentious singular earth processing plant in Kuantan has in a approach simply abandoned a wishes of a people vital in a closeness as good as a nation as a whole. The people have been still puzzled as to possibly there had been a thorough, only as good as transparent Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) conducted upon a viability of this project. They clarity which illness as good as social impact! assessm ents have been needed if plan of this inlet were to be undertaken in any country. But these vapid though necessary processes have been customarily abandoned by unfamiliar capitalists in most bad as good as building countries, as in a little cases authorities can easily be bribed to bulldoze by their plans.
Nevertheless, in a Malaysian context a Atomic Energy Licensing Board's (AELB) has decided to accede to a TOL to a Australian association with 'conditions'. It was reported which a TOL was approved with multiform 'stringent' requisites attached. But this usually confirms which there have been still disconcerted issues relating to a Lynas' Radioactive Waste Management Plan (RWMP). The adults believe which a RWMP has not been entirely finalised nonetheless by Lynas. But since a TOL when counts of open interests have been still obscure as good as unsettled?
Has been deserted in Australia
So most unfamiliar capitalists in poor, building as good as labour-cheap countries have been embroiled in hot as good as poisonous industries in a hosts' backyard as good as China is a single of a countries misfortune hit by these unethical investment practices. The abounding countries have been inclined to make make use of of a third or building world as their 'rat laboratory' when traffic with live threatening poisonous wastes. Somehow or rather a little big companies know a tricks to manoeuvre, as they can regularly 'grease a palms' of those in energy to get by their goal as good as shortcomings. Despite carrying independent consultants to evaluate most of these companies as good as check upon their compliance with a set standards as good as rules, in a last analysis nothing most can be finished to stop their dire operations.
As for Malaysia, a people have their rights to fright which this unwashed entrepreneur modus operandi happening in alternative countries could happen in their nation as well. The Lynas plant during Gebeng is obviously not well-receive! d by a p eople. Apparently, a supervision cannot halt this plan since of contractual agreements as good as to illustrate adamant which it has to proceed. They could have done a inapplicable designation in permitting a refinery which most alternative countries had turned down to be built in this country.
Majority of those surveyed in a adjacent area as good as in Kuantan City felt which Lynas is exporting their 'contaminated' attention in to this country. They have been wakeful which Lynas had failed to set up a plant in Terengganu though managed to convince a state supervision of Pahang to have it built in a state.
Residence around Gebeng as good as circuitously Kuantan have been understandably indignant which a plan which has been deserted in Australia has been brought to their backyard. All Malaysians who care for illness than increase have been entirely opposite a sourroundings up of a plant here as good as they would cite Lynas refines a singular earth in their own backyard (Australia). The people have been usually asserting their rights as a community.
Is not a voice of a single MP
The opposition to a Lynas plant is not a voice of a single MP as highlighted by pro-UMNO media though thousands of chateau in Kuantan as good as a circuitously villages. The fright of hot wastes sifting in to tighten by land, a ambience as good as additionally a streams as good as rivers which flow in to a circuitously sea is scaring a people in this area. Among those vital circuitously this plant have been farmers, fishermen, supervision servants, businessmen as good as those self-employed. The consult found roughly 97 percent of a people here have been not happy with a plant being built in their locality.
An entrepreneur who has suspended a plan to set up residential units in a circuitously area had this say, "We had a skeleton ready as good as you done a consult of intensity buyers. Unfortunately you have to put a plan upon ice as a marketplace consult! showed a bad response from intensity buyers. We frequency have buyers. We have spent so most income upon a initial stages of removing a skeleton ready. Looks similar to you have to revoke a prices of out units though this might not work either. It is starting to be during a loss. We have to wait as good as see."
A real estate agent formed in Kuantan was similarly unhappy with a Lynas plant, "There has been so most broadside since upon a Lynas plant. Of course, a people have been disastrous about a total thing. We have been not means sell properties around this segment anymore. Those who have paid for properties here have been stuck as good as some-more interested in selling them though they usually don't have buyers. Prices of properties have been dropping around this area. The Lynas plant has contributed to this phenomenon."
Built inside of upon foot distance from a nearest residential area a plant is invoking fright in a hearts of a villages. Among them have been prepared as good as less prepared villagers. A 51-year-old rancher from Balok said, " we am not prepared though we am wakeful of a risk of hot from such plants. we have seen sufficient of this kind problems happening in alternative countries upon a TV stations."
A 45-year-old fisherman from a same encampment was too wakeful of a problems which have been starting to happen when a plant starts operating. He was really emotional when asked about a threat of hot wastes being washed in to a circuitously sea. " Our locate has been dwindling all this while. The sea H2O is already dirtied with chemicals, oil slicks as good as alternative wastes from circuitously industries as good as hotels. we fright which with any flow of hot wastes from a Lynas plant would endanger a rivers, streams, wells as good as a sea. This will poise some-more risk to tellurian as good as sea life. People might not even buy fish from here for fright which a fish have been contaminated. "
A 60-year-old rancher in Sungai Ular here had th! is to sa y: "The stream as good as streams here have been no some-more clean. We have been bad as good as you fright for a livestock as most as a life. We additionally fright for a crops which help means a life. And right away with Lynas in out midst."
"It is a carcinogen," pronounced a doctor who runs a hospital during a circuitously town. " Leukemia victims whose illnesses have attributed to a aged Mitsubishi Chemical refinery in a country. And do you wish to repeat this?"
Story telling
Malaysians have been not opposite unfamiliar direct investment (FDI). No political parties have voiced their opposition to FDI in a country. They have been welcome. But not an investment which can be detrimental to a people's good being. They do not wish a 'rejects' of Australia or Japan to come as good as invest in this country. The view reason by a little which by blocking Lynas plant is starting to cause instability for FDI does not reason up. Even investors have been wakeful of a risk in investing in regions where poisonous industries have been found. "The supervision seems to omit a deep concern of a people over this poisonous Lynas plant," pronounced a supervision propagandize teacher in Beserah, Kuantan.
Has Lynas disclosed a sum of a Permanent Disposal Facility (PDF) to a public? Would Lynas take a shortcoming of rubbish management when it was reported which a poisonous rubbish might substantially be likely upon a remote Island off Pahang coast? Would this afterwards not trickle subterraneous as good as affect a sea water? Or would they be promulgation back a poisonous rubbish to Australia or any alternative source? Would Australia determine to accept this poisonous residue? It was reported which Australia would not. Then would they bail out a poisonous rubbish in to a sea? There is so most ambiguity in a RWMP, as it was additionally reported which a Lynas had skeleton to recycle as good as commercialise a residue.
It was reported which a TOL wa! s grante d 'after removing open feedback'. The people have been puzzled as to which 'public' they have been referring to. " This is mere 'story telling'," pronounced a supervision menial attached to a Pahang state government.
Lynas as an financier in a nation is not something to be proud of. When Selangor as good as Penang have been means to capture feasible investments which do not give any adverse impact upon a ecosystem, Pahang unfortunately has attracted a wrong 'depositor' which until currently is not means to understanding with singular earth rubbish excess which a plant is starting to produce.
We cannot design most from Lynas
The long-term storage of a Lynas plant's hot thorium rubbish is still unresolved. It was reported which a single of a tip Lynas senior manager said, "I have complete confidence in a Malaysian environmental standards as good as a capability to meet a requirements." But Malaysian have all a reason to be cautious: Its last singular earth refinery, operated by a Japanese association Mitsubishi Chemical was really deleterious to a environment. Concerns forced a shutting of all singular earth refineries in Japan since of radiation. Mitsubishi afterwards moved a refining operation to Malaysia after being phased out by Japan ensuing in a little tools of a nation right away becoming a single of Asia's largest hot rubbish cleanup sites. A mess was combined in China where poisonous rubbish was dumped upon a non-regulated basis, afterwards it was a Mitsubishi fiasco to a internal environment. The people to illustrate cannot be positive of safety from a Lynas plant in Gebeng, Kuantan.
It seems which a Lynas formidable will house a latest in wickedness carry out equipment as good as deviation sensors. There will be twelve acres of interim storage pools which will be lined with dense cosmetic as good as lay atop scarcely inviolable clay, to reason a hot by-products until they can be likely of. But a people have been some-more intereste! d to kno w where will a poisonous wastes be likely of. Pollution from alternative containing alkali factories in a closeness has influenced a sea where fishing is a categorical source of income for some-more than thirty percent of a race here . They do not wish Lynas or alternative containing alkali companies to open any some-more factories to hurt their livelihood.
It was additionally reported which a CEO of Lynas said, "The association had approvals to set up a refinery in Australia as good as deserted which choice since it couldn't find a site which met a requirements." This is a ridiculous statement coming from an Australian-owned company. Australia is some-more than 60 times larger than Malaysia with a immeasurable area of arid as good as empty desert as good as nonetheless a CEO is revelation Malaysians which he could not find a 'suitable' place to set up a refinery in his homeland. Malaysians have been not 'dummies' to tumble for this kind of statement. If truth be told, a Australian supervision is some-more wakeful of a risk of poisonous deviation as good as does not acquire a sourroundings up a Lynas refinery in a country. What has been deserted by a grown world has been taken over by Malaysia a building country.
Lynas will, though disbelief , turn a hot issue in a coming ubiquitous election. It is starting to affect a settlement of choosing by casting votes in this region.

Hasan Ali, Now a Pariah in Malaysian and Malay Politics
Hasan Ali - Thank Goodness, He Didn't Appeal!
by
Iskandar Dzulkarnain
A long time ago, when we referred to Hasan Ali's name, there was the small apply oneself for this PAS leader even yet he was fundamentally an additional self-proclaimed defender of Islam. Respect was lengthened to him for his Islamic standing as well as which was often due to his in front of as the conduct of PAS Selangor.
Less concentration was placed upon his persona, tutorial background but mainly he was held in esteemed as well as since face since he had been handpicked by PAS to urge the Muslims in the state, as well as viewed to be performing his eremite duties to uphold the great name of Islam.
But things changed. Something happened.
Even from before 2008, Hasan was interested in UMNO
Rumours as well as furious speak proposed to aspect after the final choosing in 2008. Hasan Ali proposed to turn prominent for alternative reasons. From religion, he proposed to pierce in to race-championing.
Talks of tip meetings between Hasan Ali as well as UMNO to form the brand brand new Selangor government underneath Pakatan Rakyat eventually came out in to the open.
PAS had to emanate the denial, as well as the boss Hadi Awang had to have the clarification. Within PAS, the confused lines between the party's liberals as well as the ultra conservative ulama or eremite heads began to take figure as well as sharpen. Along with Pakatan, PAS was jarred as well as stirred by the Hasan's exchange with UMNO.
It was no tip which Hasan harbored dreams of apropos the next Menteri Besar as well as was willing to sleep with the demon usually to repudiate the Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor.
Since th! en, he h as in the news for all the wrong reasons, as well as oftentimes people wondered either he was representing PAS, Pakatan or UMNO!
The beer fiasco in Shah Alam's minimart left the green note upon people's lips. Non-Muslims proposed to watch him with the wary eye as well as avoided him similar to the plague.
Christian-bashing
Later on, when he intended accusations during the Christians for attempting to change Selangor Muslims in the Damansara Utama Methodist Centre, it confirmed everyone's set-back fears. Hasan was similar to Ibrahim Ali - the domestic lunatic running amuk as well as ready to do any impassioned action usually to reap the small gain from UMNO.
The DUMC-JAIS raid affected some-more than Selangor. It left the durability disastrous impression upon the total country, especially Sarawak where 43% of the people there have been Christians. Surprisin! gly, BN politicians seemed unknowingly of the horror the dual domestic 'pyschos' were creating.
In fact, BN leaders sided with Hasan even yet he was afterwards still in PAS. It was starting to turn obvious which Hasan might straddling dual 'sampans' or long-boats during the same time.
But to Hasan, he was similar to the white horseman in resplendent armour, fighting against the purported proselytization of Muslims in the state. Somehow he could not remonstrate the Muslims he was sincere. The infancy saw him as usually an additional domestic opportunist. Soon, the every day attacks against the Christians as well as declarations which his actions were for the great of Islam began to tumble apart.
Thank goodness, he didn't appeal
As he spoke about Islam, or the version which he practiced anyway, others were already discussing his defection to UMNO. It was the matter of when as well as in what demeanour - the probability was never even questioned!
Thus, it was not the surprise when PAS eventually sacked him. Everyone knew he had it coming. In f! act, he worked tough to force PAS to pouch him.
Seduced by flattery from UMNO, it is likely Hasan believed which PAS wouldn't have the balls to dump him. Still disorder from the aftershock of his shameful sacking, he has embarked upon the roadshow to educate the open upon the domestic parasites in PAS, who was partly responsible for his sacking. And guess who is tagging along with him? None alternative than Ridhuan Tee, the faithful Muslim.
The interest period for Hasan Ali has expired as well as he has declared he has no intention to appeal. The sighs of service have been loud in truth along the corridors of power in PAS as well as Pakatan.
If he had appealed, it would have put the coalition as well as the celebration in the slight pickle. They would have looked bad if they deserted him. But if they re-opened the doorway to him, as well as he proposed his unsteadiness again, they would demeanour diseased as well as foolish - most similar to our Prime Minister Najib Razak!
Parasites
Talking about parasites, Hasan Ali unsuccessful to comply which most parasites have been so tiny, similar to the lice in one's hair which most do not notice. As far as the open knows, there have been usually 3 parasites with voracious blood-sucking traits which have been of the small 'entertainment' value. So well fed have been these parasites, they have incited in to appalling overweight monsters similar to Jabba the Hut in Starwars.
One of them is the ongoing as well as confirmed party-hopper. This guy owes allegiance to no one as well as his master is whoever pays him for the moment. Though he contested upon the PAS ticket, within months of winning, he incited Independent as well as afterwards shaped Perkasa.
The second mislaid his in front of as the number 2 in PAS final year.
The third one didn't comprehend which he was the parasite as well as has embarked upon an tutorial debate to display himself!
And to top it all, all of 3 of them were benefac! tion dur ing the brand new press discussion in respect of Parasite No. 3's sacking. Were they there to lend await to him as the associate parasites, or to delight in glee during his sacking?
Political ambitions
Now, Hasan says he wants to form the brand brand new NGO called JATI to quarrel for Islam, Malay Rights as well as the Malay Rulers. What the eminent cause, if it usually were true. Already there is Perkasa as well as Perkida as well as these 2 organizations contingency be sleeping if there is the need to form JATI.
Hasan clearly still harbors domestic ambitions, positioning JATI as the Third Force. So assured is Hasan which he has already deserted the lures thrown out to him by KITA. But there is the small shadow-play there as well as nonetheless for ex-UMNO apportion as well as PKR turncoat, Zaid Ibrahim, has announced plans to disintegrate KITA, the small have been betting which eventually peace will be done as well as Hasan will go in to KITA nonetheless Zaid might have an exit after doing his inhabitant service for UMNO.
So one approach or an additional Hasan looks sets to turn the rusty fixture, most similar to Ibrahim Ali, Zul Noordin as well as Zahrain Hashim. His JATI can even apply for the own license to turn the nation's newest domestic party.
Then he can field himself as well as alternative like-minded specimens in the next election, since whileUMNO might await him, they won't touch him with the 20-foot barge pole.Apart from KITA, no one else would!
Hasan has eventually shown his loyal colours as well as it's not green similar to those small green group from Mars. Instead of looking redemption from the Party which gave him an illustrious career, he sees it fit to back-stab his former colleagues.Memang kartunor the genuine cartoon, is how they right away view him. But this modus operandi will severe threat his brand brand new career as Zaid will discuss it him.
Zaid as well had embarked upon the 'politics of revenge'! against Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim. But the slandering as well as washing of linen in open usually put Malaysians off Zaid. From the tall roost as the Malay intellectual, Zaid was eventually viewed to be usually an additional domestic pirate doing the rounds for UMNO. The very same is receiving place with Hasan, ! yet h e doesn't see it or chooses not to see it yet.
Another unsuccessful UMNO tactic
Obviously, if Hasan has brand brand new backers, he contingency show them the benefits of receiving him on-board. How can he blow the alarm upon himself? For example, how can he discuss it UMNO -you guys were foolish to collect me!
So, acting similar to the crusader as well as perplexing to collect the quarrel with the Christians whom he regards as the enemy, Hasan is out to conquer the nation with yet an additional out-of-favor as well as shelf life-expired bubbly beverage of racism as well as eremite bigotry.
Hell-bent to animate the fla! mes of c ontroversy, Hasan will put the censure for his set-back upon the brotherly Christians in this nation whom he thinks will not brave to retaliate. Hardly the hallmark of the male of Islam!
By now, no one in PAS is angry any some-more during Hasan's sacking.
The genuine Hasan Ali has stepped out from the shadows as well as he has sprouted horns. No disbelief about it, similar to Ibrahim Ali, Hasan Ali is the boon to the Pakatan Rakyat.
The some-more the 'Alis' rant as well as holler, the some-more Malaysians will sympathize with Pakatan.
Whoever in UMNO dreamed up this sinful intrigue to behind gash PAS has right away been behind stabbed by himself! Really, they should consider some-more carefully as well as not pour out to grab off the shelf items which might not work or have been defective. No point to handle similar to the longhorn in the China shop, but maybe this is an indication of how broke UMNO is of brand brand new ideas.
What their strategists have been doing is similar to the ! Malay sa ying,tak sa takut! Gostan saja. Jika langgar, pasti ada bunyi

About respecting sensitivities
I had regularly insincere which a Malays have been backward meditative as good as superstitious whereas a non-Malays have been enlightened. we had regularly longed for a Malays to mangle out of their feudalistic as good as outdated cocoon as good as draw towards themselves in to a brand new Millennium and, as Dr Mahathir Mohamad said, be some-more similar to a Chinese. That is why we have been heartless as good as vicious in whacking a Malays. we longed for them to improve. Now it looks similar to it is not only a Malays we need to work on.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
A integrate of years ago, we met this pretty Chinese girl, probably in her mid-20s, a youth lawyer operative in my friend's firm. She was ready to go in a real sexy black dress which suggested her greatest asset, her prolonged as good as comely legs.
My initial reaction, as good as not which good suspicion of we contingency admit, was to suggest her my condolences.
"For what?" she replied with a puzzled demeanour upon her face. She contingency have suspicion we had in error her for someone else or which my condolences was tongue-in-cheek (such as "my condolences which we have been a lawyer instead of a Blogger similar to me").
we immediately realised myfaux pasand which we had put my feet in my mouth (my mouth relocating faster than my brain, as Megat Najmuddin Megat Khas of Subang Golf Club 'fame' once told me).
"Oh, sorry, we insincere we have been in anguish since of a black dress we have been wearing."
She gave this very, very sexy giggle whilst throwing behind her hair at a behind of her ears. Sighthat was a pierce to warp anyone's ! heart as good as it was extremely formidable not to fall in love with a person who has perfected this pierce to a excellent art.
'On no," she replied, "It is only which we love black."
"I contingency declare which black certainly complements you," we replied, anticipating which we could measure a little points as good as erase what was a bad begin to a promising relationship.
Another sexy giggle as good as a throwing of a conduct behind whilst pushing her hair at a behind of her ears with those oh so excellent as good as prolonged fingers.
Sigh.
Anyway, we went upon to talk about etiquette as good as taboos as good as she told me which she has a sideboard full of black outfits though would never wear black when she goes home to encounter her parents.
"My mom would have a fit. She will roar at me as good as contend we want here to die early. So we never wear black with them around unless we want to die early," she joked.
"But we have been modern, prepared Chinese," she added. "We do not reason in all those superstitions. We only comply them for a consequence of a aged folks, only to make them happy as good as not get them upset."
"What aboutfengshui?" we asked. "Even Muslims as good as westerners now reason infengshui."
Another giggle as good as all a other trimmings to further make we as soft astaufu. "That's what we might find a bit strange about us. We contend we have been modern as good as prepared as good as do not reason in superstition, though when it comes tofengshui, someway many of us still reason in it, at slightest a small bit if not all."
"How strong have been these beliefs?" we ask. "Do we essentially comply them religiously?"
"Well, not really. It's similar to hedging a bets. We do not unequivocally reason all which unsteadiness though we try to comply them whenever we can only in case. If it is unsteadiness then we have zero to lose! . But if they have been loyal then at slightest we have been covered."
"Sort of similar to buying insurance," we concluded.
She laughed again as good as made all those right moves to go with a laugh, as good as we had better stop here since we am certain there have been a little of we next 18 reading this article.
Let's pierce upon to another story.
we attended a wake of a mom of a Chinese crony of mine. He is a Christian though they celebrated all a Chinese etiquette as good as traditions, such as blazing wake money, a paper Mercedes, a paper mansion, etc.
we asked my crony is he not a Christian, to which he reliable he is. "Then why have been we indulging in 'un-Christian-like' rituals?" we asked.
we am which tighten to him to be means to ask such 'sensitive questions' but him foaming at a mouth whilst calling me all sorts of tainted names.
"I'm essentially we do this for my aged man," he replied. "You knowlah, aged people have been still superstitious as good as reason upon to aged Chinese etiquette as good as traditions. So this is for my dad's consequence rsther than than for me. we unequivocally do not reason in all this nonsense."
we can conclude that. When we got tied together behind in 1973, we as good had to comply a aged Malay etiquette as good as traditions, as good as a little Chinese ones too. At first, we only concluded to a religious partial of my marriage, which is theakad nikah. we refused to do thebersanding, which had zero to do with Islam as good as was essentially some-more Hindu.
Wow! You should have seen a storm we created. My mother, who was Welsh, did not mind. But my uncles as good as aunties were furious. They would rsther than which we not get tied together than we get tied together in a 'not proper' way.
These were brothers as good as sisters/sisters-in-law of my late father. So, for my dead father's sake, we concluded to thebersandin! g. we did not want to go in to conflict with my father's siblings, as a mark of respect to my father who had died merely a year before that.
The akad nikah
The bersanding ceremony as good as my late mom blessing a couple
Then, to please my wife's side of a family, we performed a 'tea ceremony'. You should have seen a tears in my mother-in-law's eyes as she hold my hands as good as called me 'son'. we consider we unequivocally made her day.
Incidentally, 3 years later, we brought her along when we migrated to Kuala Terengganu as good as she lived with us till a day she died. The final 3 years of her hold up she was confined after she suffered a cadence as good as we had to occupy a nurse to demeanour after her. The many critical thing is she died in her own home as good as with her young kids as good as grandchildren around her when she breathed her final breath.
Such is a strength of etiquette as good as traditions. And we can utterly assimilate a snub per a whiteang pauepisode, especially when it concerned aged folks who were probably intimidated in to usurpation a whiteang pausand did not dare throw it behind in to Ibrahim Ali's face.
Anyway, whether Ibrahim Ali did this upon role or whether he did this out of ignorance is not something we can confirm, unless we initial speak to him privately about it. Hence we am not defending or justifying his actions. However, after privately knowing him all these years, we would contend which Ibrahim Ali is not a brightest tuber upon a Christmas tree, if we know what we mean. To credit him of plotting this, which requires a brain, is to give him some-more credit than he deserves.
B! ut what puzzles me is a snub by people who contend which all religions have been bullshit, which God does not exist, would not hesitate to wear a black clothes (like a business suit), as good as so on. They reason which God as good as religions have been bullshit as good as nonetheless they reason which colours can harm we or move we luck.
we had regularly insincere which a Malays have been backward meditative as good as superstitious whereas a non-Malays have been enlightened. we had regularly longed for a Malays to mangle out of their feudalistic as good as outdated cocoon as good as draw towards themselves in to a brand new Millennium and, as Dr Mahathir Mohamad said, be some-more similar to a Chinese. That is why we have been heartless as good as vicious in whacking a Malays. we longed for them to improve. Now it looks similar to it is not only a Malays we need to work on.
