Bucking the set trend
31 May 2012
There is a consistent need to grow as good as pull egghead boundaries, though which there can usually be recession as good as in a destiny regression.
_________________________________________
THE new anathema on Irshad Manji's book as good as a Kota Baru statute which all destiny buildings must be Islamic in nature raise a little disturbing issues. However, we realize which since both matters have an Islamic member to them, any rational discussion becomes formidable as emotions lend towards to subsume reason.
This being a case, we shall ensue to discuss both in a general manner, being wearied as we am with a ranting of a holier than thou. The topic of this week's mainstay thus is "why book banning as good as architectural dictates have been bad for you".
Let us deal with a latter first. It is not unusual to have city councils make rulings on a type of buildings which they would allow to be built. This is generally loyal in towns with really crafty chronological as good as informative flavours.
New buildings in Bruges (France - this was put in by my editors. Of course Bruges is in Belgium NOT France. DUH!), for example, have to fit a general architectural character of a locale as a whole.
This is since Bruges is a Unesco birthright site as good as a town's authorities wish to maintain a certain unity to a place. No potion walled McDonalds. Merci.
However, any sort of carry out similar to this has to be for a ridicule great reason. And there has to be a logic to it. Taking a Bruges example, a character in subject is graphic to a town.
Architects as good as locale planners have a transparent pattern in their mind when designing as good as approving buildings. This would not be a case, however, if a Bruges local supervision had demanded which their buildings be built in a "European style".
What is "European" after all? Classical Roman? Ottoman (as ! prolonge d as it is west of a Bosphorus)? ! Russian Tsarist Onion Dome?
An sequence as deceptive as this, therefore, creates no sense.
Furthermore, a single has to be really crafty with edicts per architecture, lest they fall tainted of informative norms. This is quite loyal in pluralistic societies.
Another regard is which such rules might essentially stifle architectural innovation. In this day as good as age, where energy charge is becoming imperative, innovative pattern would crop up to be a approach of a destiny as good as should not be limited.
And if a single worries about nauseous complicated buildings, well, infrequently new things take a little getting used to. After all, a much photographed Palace of Westminster (London, England - during slightest they got this a single right!) was considered appalling when it was initial built.
Besides, if we have been office building an nauseous (but environmentally clever) office building in a less than tasteful locale in a initial place, what is a large deal?
Now on to a second topic, book banning.
Book banning is a action of a despotic as good as mindless. It is an action of egghead barbarism. Burning books in my view is a aroused action against thought.
One counters bad ideas by opposed them with better ideas. If a single reacts in a aroused manner afterwards a single is little better than a Athenian supervision which had Socrates put to genocide or a Abbasid supervision which detained as good as flogged Imam Hanafi on a small premise which they disagreed with these philosophers.
In sequence for humankind to develop, there is a consistent need to grow as good as pull egghead boundaries. Without this mental expansion, there can usually be recession as good as in a destiny regression.
In this process, naturally, there will be new concepts which a single might feel uncomfortable with; generally if they subject a standing quo, as good as if they threaten one's egghead com! fort zon e. Well, to these people, we have usually a single word to say: "tough".
Banning books is usually finished by those though a egghead capacity or a ! confiden ce to put forth a better opposite argument.
They might hide behind supposed noble ideals such as "protecting a diseased disposed from such horrible ideas", though in a finish this thin veneer of self-declared altruism hides an audacity which a "common man or woman" is incapable of creation rational decisions, as good as a fright of their own intelligent shortcomings.
The actuality which book banning can usually be finished by those in power creates it all a more repulsive since it is these really people who have a resources as good as infrastructure to effectively put their own views brazen to a masses.
At a finish of a day, these new developments indicate a mindset which favours form over piece as good as an anti-intellectualism which does not bode good for a on-going development of this country. Read More @ Source

But we additionally told them to consider by a motives as well as implications of accepting this seemingly too-good-to-be-true offer. With such lavish payments a offering organisation cannot be using a tolerable business. They will, during some time or another, be forced to cut costs just to maintain their profit margins.

"Random analysis of watcher accounts of incidents during a criticism as well as a subsequent behaviour of people aligned to a single or a alternative side of a inhabitant argument are enough to suggest a gravity of a shortcoming which resides with a principal leaders of a competing coalitions.
"Unless these leaders give up from stridency as well as over-indulgence in their rhetoric, supporters as well as followers w! ould tak e counts over a bounds of what is considered permissible conduct," he added.

Dr Mahathir and the selling of oxymoronicracy Sakmongkol AK47
(Hi Dato Ariff (aka Sakmongkol) remember this line "Change your image as well as do not flash your wealth in order to shift a perception which a ruling coalition is corrupt, former prime apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad told BN leaders today". Another of which oxymoron advocacy 'be hurtful but be smart' so long as you could manage which you have been alright yaOMG! I seek refuge in Thee from a frailties of men as well as a debility of my heart ).
(TMI) MAY 22 Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has reiterated his recommendation for Umno leaders to discard self-interest as well as acts of harm to safeguard a Barisan Nasional (BN) victory in a subsequent general election.
There have been two things which stuck out as really sore thumbs in a upon top of statement. Both have been never a hallmarks of Umno. Indeed if they have been practised, Umno ceases to be Umno. They have been a elimination of self-interest as well as deficiency of acts of sabotage. Asking Umno people not to harm as well as to reject personal seductiveness is similar to asking a camel to go through a eye of a needle.
Dr Mahathir does not usually walk upon water, he is additionally a chief orator for oxymoronicracy.
Since a origination of Umno Baru in 1988, each Umno leader who has assumed a mantle of leadership has been encouraged by self-interests. What's more, they have been encouraged by a desire to continue a self-interests, where self-preservation is top of a list. It will be engaging to examine these fellers' bank account when they have been no longer in power.
Sabotaging is second nature to Umno people, by incumbents who have been no longer chosen to mount or by determined candidates scheming as well as plotting to overpower incumbents. What is absent from Umno? A clarity of role as well as a means to quarrel for. So if you wish an e.g. of oxymoronicracy,! Dr Maha thir is a inaugural spokesman.
Let's dissect a substance behind a matter by Dr Mahathir in Jitra a other day. What do you have of this statement?

Proton is the price we pay for brainless patriotism
The first of Proton National Bhd in 1983 was a large costly mistake to proceed with. Billions of ringgit from taxpayers have been lost in a process.
The haemorrhage could not be stanched until usually not prolonged ago when Khazanah Nasional Berhad sole off a 43 percent interest in Proton to DRB-Hicom a few months ago. Malaysians have been wondering is this finally an end to a unhappy tale of a government's incursion in to a prolongation of a supposed 'national car' or will a weight upon taxpayers as well as automobile owners be one after another in alternative brand brand brand brand new ways?
A revisit of this white elephant plan is necessary to beget a incomparable public discourse especially amongst taxpayers who should be some-more concerned as to where all a taxation income they've been paying has gone to.
One uncomplicated arrogance which appears to have been finished by a initiator of a inhabitant automobile plan Dr Mahathir Mohamad is which an attention which is flourishing yearly should be profitable.It is not. In fact, attention interpretation shows which a sum increase of all a automobile companies over a final decades amount to usually a medium return, as well as which usually for a fittest in a industry.
The British experience
Consider a case of British Leyland, a vehicle-manufacturing association shaped in a United Kingdom in 1968. It was partly nationalised in 1975 with a supervision formulating a brand brand brand brand new holding company. The association incorporated most of a British- owned motor automobile industry, as well as hold 40% of a UK automobile market.
Despite containing essential marques such as Jaguar, Rover as well as Lan! d Rover, as well as a best-selling Mini, British Leyland had a uneasy history. In 1986 it was renamed as a Rover Group, later to turn MG Rover Group, which went in to administration department in 2005.This finished mass automobile prolongation by British-owned manufacturers.
Today, most British automobile marques have transferred their ownership to foreign companies. For e.g. MG as well as a Austin, Morris as well as Wolseley marques have all turn partial of China's SAIC Motor Corporation Ltd.
Mistake avoidable
Why Dr Mahathir unsuccessful to sense anything from a catastrophic British automobile attention experience is something which utterly escapes most Malaysians. Surely any great personality would have gotten his officers to do due diligence.
If they had finished so, they would have found which a attention even with year-on-year rises in sales is not upon trial to beget great returns to shareholders. Notwithstanding a prolonged convention of successful automobile manufacture as well as a country's highly developed economy, a attention in a UK still unsuccessful to have profits.
The reason for this situation is given one of a forces which extent profitability is a intensity of rivalry in between automobile companies from around a world. This leads to oversupply as well as vigour upon prices, serve exacerbated by a high grade of freedom for brand brand brand brand new competitors to come in a industry.
Unless there is an huge inner marketplace such as China's or a United States, as well as you can take value of a manage to buy of scale, small producers such as Malaysia have been forever cursed to a minor placing, or bankruptcy, in a marketplace.
Played out by Mitsubishi
As distant as Proton is concerned, Mahathir's mistake in ignoring a mercantile fundamentals of a attention was compounded by a lack of imagination or comparative va! lue to f urnish cars. The anticipated record send from Mitsubishi did not take place.
This should have been anticipated. Why should Mitsubishi send their expertise to Malaysia when it can control a gait of send to maximize a profits? In fact, a top supervision of Proton should ask Mitsubishi to open their books to see how most profit they have finished from Proton given it began operation.
Mitsubishi knew which Proton could not do without them as well as they were utterly happy to go on creation income from Proton whilst a association here one after another to bleed to death.
Equally critical was a bad quality of management. Just prior to a privatization exercise, Proton had amassed RM4 billion during Tengku Mahaleel Ariff's reign as arch executive military officer but a cash reserves had forsaken to RM600 million during his successor Mohammed Azlan Hashim's stewardship, according to Mahathir.
To encourage people to buy Proton, a supervision increasing a import avocation for alternative cars as well as automobile parts. As a result, a consumers have suffered. For over thirty years you have had to pay aloft prices for all cars together with Proton. Even this has not been sufficient to save Proton which has been sole 5 times already.
Another subject to ask is because few automobile manufacturers, until recently, appear to get in to bankruptcy? If so, afterwards prices can rise relative to cost as well as shareholders can get a fair return.
There have been two main reasons.In a small countries there is always a perennial confidence of managers as well as shareholders. In Malaysia, a reason is different. Here, a supervision has been changing manners as well as regulations to hinder alternative cars from entering a marketplace whilst providing special favours together with an ever ready supply of monetary benefit to keep Proton afloat.
The end outcome is which a small Malaysians have finished up with some-more costly cars of alternative brands whilst most Malaysi! ans have had small preference but to buy Proton a bad substitute.
This is a price you have to pay for brainless patriotism.
Proton's as well as a everlasting problems
Ours is a sorry tale which is a classical case investigate upon how not to set up a automobile industry. As with a inhabitant airline, we introduce which a special march upon a experience with Proton be offering in a Institute of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's Thoughts.
What improved approach to honour a ex-premier than a post-graduate march upon his pet plan a National Car as well as mouth-watering him to be a guest lecturer. we am certain he will have lots to share as well as most people to censure as to because a plan has failed.
Earlier this year aristocrat Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary was authorised to take full control of Proton. Since a sale, Proton's problems have one after another by a loss-making subsidiary, Lotus. In March, a firm was forced to put in place a team of consultants to conduct an examination upon a Lotus group of companies.
The need for this examination was impending in light of a monetary obligation of Lotus in a form of a 270 million (RM1.3 billion) syndicated loan taken during a end of 2010, for which Proton had given a corporate guarantee.
In March, Proton, in a third quarter results, remarkable which a auxiliary was in a technical breach of certain post-drawdown covenants upon a long-term loan. For now, a loan amounting to RM1.01billion has been re-classified as a short-term loan as during Dec 31 until a taking of capitulation for a prolongation of time.
Although a brand brand brand brand new owner of Proton positively has low pockets (he is a 7th richest male in Malaysia) as well as owns a commercial operation sovereignty which covers ports, a postal service, power, defence as well as monetary services, besides a! utomobil es, you can expect him to replenish his waste by raising a prices serve upon Proton to illustrate burdening a automobile buyers, as well as by charging aloft prices for a alternative products as well as services which he is concerned with.
Any which way, a Malaysian consumer will go on to be suckered by a inhabitant automobile debacle.

Malaysia should condemn brutal attacks on civilians in Syria and expel Syrian ambassador
Media Statement by Pakatan Rakyaton thirty May 2012in Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia should reject a brutal attacks upon civilians in Syria, expelSyrian envoy as good as recall Malaysian envoy to Syria
The Malaysian supervision generally Foreign Minister Anifah Aman shouldcondemn brutal attacks upon civilians in Syria. The non-interference position by a Malaysian governmen*t is not tenable during best as good as during misfortune very irresponsible.
Pakatan Rakyat strongly condemns a murdering of some-more than 90 civilians inSyria final Friday of which 32 were young kids under a age of 10. We further direct which a Syrian supervision rught away stop a make use of of complicated weapons in population centers, as good as *call upon a Syrian supervision military as good as company to abide completely by Kofi Annan's assent plan.
It has been reported which some-more than 15000 people consisting of civilianshave been killed in Syria whilst some-more than 1 million have been displaced, fled their homes as good as villages since a overthrow opposite Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. After 15 months of violence, you direct a Syrian supervision to halt assault in all its forms.
With these attacks, a assent devise as good as a United Nation (UN) cease-firethat went in to effect upon Apr 12th are nothing some-more than history.
Although Syrian supervision officials repudiate any military involvement in themassacre, a justification claimed otherwise. Survivors interviewed by Human Rights Watch claimed which armed men, dressed in military clothes, pounded homes upon a hinterland of locale as good as killed complete families.
This is compounded by a commentary of a UN Supervision Mission in Syria(UNSMIS) observers confirming which artillery as good as tank shells were dismissed during a residential neighborhood. Here lies a think with a claims done by a Syrian supervision which terrorists groups such as Al-Qaida were involvedsince it is at larg! e known which they are not which good equipped.
In a name of justice, a law should overcome as good as those obliged forthe atrocities must be hold accountable.
Hence, you now urge a Malaysian supervision to observe Human Rights Watch's call for burden by referring a incident in Syria to theInternational Criminal Court (ICC) as good as in unanimity with alternative respectable countries, sack a Syrian envoy as good as recall a Malaysian envoy from Syria in protest of this brutal murdering of civilians.
Inaction is no longer an option as a longer you wait, some-more preciousinnocent lives will be lost.

PANAS BERAPI! TIADA MAAF BAGIMU WAHAI NIZAR LAHANAT!
Nape Nizar gampang? Kau dah takut ke? Kalau ikut pada apa yang ditulis oleh RBF kat sini, lu lagi kantoi Nizar sebab bukan takat korang je, Nik Aziz harami joke beli plot no mahal kat Kelantan tapi kita tak pernah nak ambik kisah pun.
Tapi perbuatan kau wahai anjing DAP menghina Sultan Johor tu adalah terlampau dan kau mesti dihukum sewajaranya. Dulu kau menderhaka pada Tuanku Sultan Perak sekarang kau menderhaka Pada Sultan Johor, lepas ni Agung pulak kan?
Aku tau kau ni jenis pengikut Syiah yang tak hormat pada Raja dan Sultan. Kalau ikut hati aku, elok kau punya kerakyatan dilucutkan aje, baru padan dengan muka kau. Sekarang ni tiada maaf bagimu wahai Nizar KKK. Kau kena terima pembalasan diatas keceleparan kau.

London chants to Our March for Democracy
Freemalaysiatoday commentary(05-29-12)
A Prime Minister in Malaysia is a master in his home though when he goes abroad he has no home to protect him from a rough weather outside.
On his own shores he wields substantial energy as well as can command a state to do his bidding whenever he wants to advance his domestic bulletin as well as interest.
He can order a Police to kick up adults to a pulp. He can approach a army to stop his opponents from gaining power. He can do a thousand as well as a single foul things to stay in bureau opposite a wishes of a people. Nobody can touch a strand of his hair. He is a lord of all he surveys.
But when he flies to a faraway land, he loses his aura of invincibility. He is unprotected to criticisms as well as can turn a target of protests. And so it was with a Prime Minister of Malaysia when he stepped upon British dirt lately. At home he dealt harshly with a renouned transformation for reforms as well as used a newly enacted law to moment down upon his domestic opponents. His supervision even sued a organisers of a Apr 28 convene for their troubles. He must have patted himself upon a behind for playing a purpose of a saviour.
Abroad, his drastic acts did not cut ice with Malaysians who know a crackdown upon a protesters in Kuala Lumpur upon Apr 28 was not a right thing to do. They heckled him, chanting a domicile mantra which he eventually could not ignore. There was no a single to shield him from this sudden breeze of breeze which blew by a hall. He listened during close buliding a cry which shook his nation not as well long ago. He! could n ot close his ears or close his eyes.
This is London where there have been no walls to imprison a minds or dull a human spirit. This is not Kuala Lumpur where minds have been shackled as well as bodies trampled upon. This is Britain where domestic energy changes palm as often as a deteriorate when voters had had sufficient of a incumbents. This is not Malaysia where Prime Ministers as well as their cronies seem to own a nation as well as will do everything in their energy to adhere to their wealth, perks as well as positions. The finish justifies a equates to here.
The London protest signals an important change in a attitude of Malaysians abroad. They have been peaceful to plainly confront their Prime Minister to show their exasperation over diseased domestic developments behind home. By which confidant act, they have destroyed a myth which a Prime Minister is untouchable by virtue of his high hire in life.
More importantly, a message conveyed is which there have been Malaysians who have been peaceful to lift a torch of gainsay upon a world theatre as well as loudly proclaim their oneness with their associate adults fighting for a clean means upon a domestic front. For sure, Malaysians who dauntless rip gas, H2O cannons, military beatings will not be alone in their campaign for a improved Malaysia.
All over a world people have been taking flight up opposite unfair governments after decades of odious rule. Dissent is a universal thread which runs by all societies as well as has turn a common culture. If Malaysians as well have been taking to a streets, it is simply because they have been fed up with carrying to put up with all a shenanigans, nonsense as well as lies of a supervision all these years.
The Asian culture of display apply oneself as well as obedience for those in management as well as not questioning them in open patently did not work. Instead, it has worked to a graphic value of curved politicians, who would rsther than have a resilient open blind to a m! isdeeds of a supervision than a vocal a single keeping vigilant watch upon a conduct of a government.
Malaysians abroad have taken up a call for reforms, which is a good sign which a fire of democracy will not be extinguished. The state might grind to dust a transformation for change though it cannot crush a suggestion which moves a people to challenge injustice as well as seize a day for democracy.
The Prime Minister cannot expect to get polite treatment from indignant adults overseas or zealous overpower from barbarous adults during home any more: a intone for clean governance will go on to fill a air as well as resonate all around him during home as well as abroad.
