Why Muslims do not trust Sikhs!

Low Weiyan

This morning I came across Low Weiyan. I do not know him and yet as I listened to what he had to say I knew that this was one of those times when you use the social media to tell others what you feel deep inside you. No you do not need courage to do this. You do not need to be a member of any political organization. You do not even have to be of any ethnic or religious persuasion. You just need to feel that enough is enough! You have been quiet long enough! You have seen people around you afraid to say anything simply because they think that the powers that be will stop anyone from saying what is in their hearts!

And what is in our hearts? We want free and fair elections. We want no corruption by those in high public office. We want no corruption by those sworn to protect the very people they steal money from - and yes we are talking about Barisan Nasional Politicians and PDRM and all those corrupt officials that feeds off the Rakyat! We want no deaths in custody! We want a transparent and responsible government.

What moved me was that Wei is young. Where are our young Malaysians who we need to join the front ranks of BERSIH 2.0? Where are the young Malaysians that we need to lead our country back to decency. Back to a Malaysia for all? It is time these young Malaysian take their place shoulder to shoulder with BERSIH 2.0 and with all those that dare to challenge a Barisan Nasional government that has for too long treated its own people with contempt! Enough is enough.

What moved me is that this Low Weiyan is not an anonymous blogger hidden somewhere on the world wide web. He tells you who he is...he talks direct to Najib and to us and what he says is simply this :

The Police does not scare him. Nobody does (and why should they???) ...all he says is simply this...stop talking about wanting change. Go join the BERSIH 2.0 Rally because it will signal to the Barisan Nasional that the people want change!" Do you understand that people? Go out and join the BERSIH 2.0 Rally if you want to tell the Basrisan Nasional government that you want change! Here is Low Weiyan's message to us. Listen well!

Hi, my name is Low Weiyan,
that is my real name for I have nothing to hide.
Upon reading articles from different media sources as of late I am appalled at the current state of things surrounding the upcoming Bersih rally.

This message goes out especially to members of the youth from all over Malaysia, the future leaders of this country. A people who have I have seen often quizzing their navigation of Malaysian society that seems ever so fragmented. I hope that you get the message I have set out to spread and share it with others.

I honestly thought I could do a better job. I realized there was alot more i could have talked about or at the very least articulated myself better. However this wasn't scripted and was a spur of the moment sort of thing.

I hope viewers will forgive my many spoken mistakes in this video and take the message to heart.

I hope to see many of you on the 9th.

Hidup Rakyat.



Low Weiyan you are One
With me we are Two
Who else will join us for BERSIH 2.0?

ooops.....BBC Scotland news




Things got off to a terrible start when a technician got the schedules of the news reports mixed up resulting in a smiling, middle-aged woman appearing on screen - and staying there for an uncomfortably long time - as the presenter announced the anniversary of the defection of Rudolph Hess. Shearer quipped: "Apologies, that obviously wasn't who we thought it was." . Then, when they cut back to Shearer in the studio, somebody had turned her microphone off and she appeared silently mouthing words before the audio returned just in time for her to say: "... some technical problems." The clip uploaded on Friday is becoming a YouTube hit with more than 140,000 views. It isn't the first time the station has suffered from technical gremlins.

If only we can train UMNO to do this!

In the Weiner age, the member is the message

Updated Tue Jun 7, 2011 3:36pm AEST

Forty-six-year-old Democrat Anthony Weiner is sharp faced and sharp tongued.
He's had to be tough, not only because he represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, but because he's travelled through life with a challenging surname, which also happens to be a slang term for penis.
The relevance of this will soon become clear.
His wife is a senior aide to Hillary Clinton. He had his sights set on succeeding the high profile Michael Bloomberg as Mayor of New York, which seemed entirely plausible, until it all came unstuck over a reckless tweet.
The tweet, sent from his account, showed a picture of the lower torso of an aroused man in grey boxer briefs. From the angle it was taken, it suggested a self portrait. It was sent unsolicited to a 21-year-old female student in Seattle.
But it was when it also showed up in the inbox of combative conservative blogger and activist Andrew Breitbart that his world really started falling apart.
Even then, America's unseemly crotch shot scandal might have quietly fizzled out on the inside pages of the tabloids but for a series of truly bizarre television explanations given by the voluble Weiner. He couldn't seem to help himself.
After denying sending it and saying his Twitter account had been hacked, he astonished reporters by also declaring that he couldn't say "with certitude", that the picture wasn't his.
When CNN's Wolf Blitzer struggled to believe that the congressman wouldn't know his own underpants, Weiner offered "I don't know what photographs are out there in the world of me. I don't know what things have been manipulated and doctored."
On ABC America he was equally unconvincing "I am reluctant to say definitively anything about this."
He was also strangely reluctant to call in the FBI. The mere whiff of an online security breach on Capitol Hill is normally enough for that.
Weiner said he didn't want to make a 'federal case' out of it, joking about his name and dismissing it as a prank, as he tried to explain to chasing reporters why he preferred to use a private security firm instead.
It was soon apparent why.
His conservative nemesis Andrew Breitbart had other pictures.
"I've seen a lot of this congressman's body and he's in very good shape", an exultant Breitbart told reporters, gatecrashing a hastily convened Weiner press conference.
Other embarrassing photos were produced including a shirtless congressman flexing and posing at his desk, with a framed picture of former President Clinton visible over his shoulder.
Mercifully Breitbart decided to withhold one X rated shot that he judged too graphic for publication.
A humiliated Weiner trudged to the podium soon after to admit to "terrible mistakes", the veins on his neck standing out as he confessed everything in an excruciating half hour.
Fighting back tears, he said the male groin shot was indeed of him and that after tweeting it, he'd panicked. To a stunned room he also confessed to many other 'inappropriate" Twitter and Facebook exchanges stretching over three years, including explicit messages and photographs sent to at least half a dozen women.
"I've not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my friends, my supporters and the media", he said. He apologised repeatedly to his wife, who he only married last year.
Weiner says he lied because he was embarrassed and while it was dumb; he didn't break the law or his oath of office and wouldn't be resigning.
That may not be for him to decide.
An ethics probe has already been ordered and his political allies have quickly vanished.
He says he didn't use his congressional office or any government resources but can't vouch for every exchange. One of the women he pursued says she received over a hundred direct online messages from the congressman.
In the world of virtual sex it's also impossible to know if any of his online partners were underage.
He has 45,000 followers on Twitter and says using social networks was a good way of getting his political message out, but after this tawdry meltdown some in Washington are asking if politicians should ever risk engaging personally on social networking sites.
Online magazine Politico reported that Twitter is so concerned about an overreaction on Capitol Hill the online networking service has sent an email to congressional offices offering security tips.
The episode is all the more damaging for Democrats because Weiner was one of the party's most effective scrappers in the US House of Representatives. Not anymore.
Teenagers are constantly warned about the dangers of sexting. Now it seems US Congressmen need to be protected from themselves too. It also serves as a reminder of the political axiom - the cover up is usually worse than the crime.
As the scandal unfolded Weiner was prone to making bad jokes at his own expense, apologising for being "a little bit stiff" one day and quipping to reporters that the shot of his bulging briefs could turn out to be "the point of Al Qaeda's sword".
He isn't laughing now.

AG Gani Patail Loses Appeal VS Dato Ramli Yusuff

BREAKING NEWS: AG Gani Patail Loses Appeal VS Dato Ramli Yusuff

by Din Merican
June 20, 2011

Yesterday, I posted an article about the despicable conduct of MACC officers who tried to inflict a last minute humiliation on Dato’ Ramli Yusuff and his family by visiting his house and making the whole neighborhood know that the MACC have unfinished business with Dato’ Ramli.

Just an hour ago, the Court of Appeal sitting in Kota Kinabalu made it clear and in no uncertain terms that it would not condone AG Gani Patail’s malicious conduct against Dato Ramli and dismissed AG Gani Patail’s appeal.
These are the judges of the august Court of Appeal:
The Honourable Dato' Haji Datuk David Wong Dak
The Honourable Judge Dato' Mohamed Apandi bin Haji Ali
The Honourable Judge Datuk Sulong bin Matjeraie
(Kota Kinabalu, Sabah)

Appearing for the AG’s office was DPP Ahmad Bache while Dato’ Seri Shafiee Abdullah represented Dato’ Ramli.

Readers would remember that IGP Musa Hassan and AG Gani Patail had used the MACC to fix-up Dato’ Ramli Yusuff  who was then the Director CCID in order cover up for their involvement in the release of a gambling syndicate operator, Goh Cheng Poh @ Tengku Goh and the MAS Scandal. Instead of charging the real crooks, they charged the Dato Ramli! With that they managed to close both cases.

In the Sabah case, the MACC fabricated stories about Dato Ramli using a police Cessna for personal use, whereas at that time, Dato Ramli was on official duty in full uniform escorted by other uniformed personnel. Dato’ Ramli’s trip was serious police business to survey the porous Sabah border because Dato’ Ramli had earlier controlled the Abu Sayaf infiltration when he was CPO Sabah.

The falsehoods perpetrated by AG Gani Patail through DPP Kevin Morais became very clear when the MACC amended the charge several times throughout that trial. DPP Kevin even fixed the arrangement of witnesses by calling the two pilots as the last witnesses as PW73 and PW74.

Kevin Morais knew that the flight path log sheet which is a requirement of the Department of Civil Aviation would show that this was an operational flight and not for personal use. Further, the statements of the pilots would have doomed the MACC’s case from the very beginning. So, in a very cunning way, Kevin Morais decided not to call the pilots first. This would enable the MACC to drag the case, deplete Dato Ramli’s resources, humiliate him publicly and make the Police citizens forget him.

So, the trial went on for 57 days with 75 witnesses with former IGP Musa Hassan  who appeared as the last and 75th witness – PW75. Musa Hassan’s task was to disagree and rebut all the evidence given earlier by the other police witnesses. Musa Hassan’s conduct of fabricating evidence was very reminiscent of his role in Sodomy I where he was dubbed as the Mattress Carrier.

Musa’s conduct must have so revolted Judge Supang Lian who did not mince her words when she condemned Musa Hassan as “an incredible witness whose evidence is not to be believed”.

That is why I worry when I am told that Musa Hassan has been appointed as Pensyarah Utama (Principal Lecturer) at the Law and Mass Communication School in UiTM. What would Musa Hassan be teaching these students? Will he be teaching them how to fabricate evidence and fix-up people and then make it believable by some public relations or mass communication trickeries? Is that how UiTM wants to be known for? Woe to this august bumiputera institution of higher learning!

I am happy for Dato Ramli for yet another round of vindication. I hope AG Gani Patai will stop any further vindictiveness against him. I hope IGP Ismail Omar will now reinstate Dato Ramli to his post and that the JPA will pay him all his pensions, gratuities and emoluments. Enough is enough!
I am happy that the prayers of all decent Malaysian have been answered by God. I am happy that these Judges of the Court of Appeal have restored our hopes and faith that eventually the truth will prevail!

God is Great!

Abuse of Power : A Barisan Nasional "thing"


June 20, 2011
KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 — Former Sabah police chief Datuk Ramli Yusoff was cleared by the Court of Appeal today of power abuse, four years after being charged for using a police helicopter for personal use.
The court's decision means that Ramli (picture) — once a top contender for the police force’s highest post with Tan Sri Musa Hassan who finally won the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) hat — can no longer be prosecuted over the case.
A three-man Bench led by Court of Appeal judge Datuk Sulong Matjeraie, which sat in Kota Kinabalu, unanimously agreed to uphold the High Court’s decision to acquit Ramli when they struck out the Attorney-General’s appeal.
The case had started in the Sessions Court, which also ruled Ramli innocent without his defence being called.
Ramli had been indicted on charges of abusing his position as Sabah police commissioner when he flew then Brigadier-General Mohamad Yasin Yahya aboard a Royal Malaysian Police Cessna Caravan helicopter on June 15, 2007 to survey two plots of land in Ulu Tungku, Lahad Datu.
The ex-cop, who was also once director of the Kuala Lumpur Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID), was acquitted in the Sessions Court last year on three counts of failing to declare his assets and breaching the law preventing public servants from being involved in private businesses.

This is how the f*#king BN government operates! They take an Innocent man who has served diligently and without fear or favor for all his working life in PDRM and for reasons only known to this f#*king BN government they proceed to accuse him of power abuse and for not declaring his assets - in short this f*#king BN government is accusing Datuk Ramli Yusuff of exactly what Najib, Muhyiddin, Mahathir and every goddamn Minister in this f*#king government is now doing! And after four years he is acquitted?

Why does the BN government do this? Why do they destroy so many innocent lives of its own Rakyat and cause our country to be denied their services : cause much physical and emotional pain to these individuals and their families : and they do all this because of what? To demonstrate to us that this BN government can do and will do what it please with our lives?

Yes we see what this BN government have done with Lim Guan Eng when he stood up against Rahim Thambi Chik - the then Chief Minister of Malacca who did get away with the rape of a Malay school girl!

We have seen what havoc and misery the ISA have wreck upon families and those incarcerated because of it.

And this BN government continues to impose its insidious will upon a people that by now have grown tired of this bullying. Tired of bowing our heads not in respect or submission to this bullying but bowing our heads because for now that is all we can do against a much stronger bully. And they mistake this for respect?
As each abuse by BN is exposed: At each vile act that BN perpetrated on an innocent Rakyat: For each death cause by this corrupt BN government: For all this that they do to us - we will know what to do when we cast out votes at the 13th general elections.

I think I know how Datuk Ramli Yusoff will vote. I think I know how the family of Teoh Beng Hock, Kugan, Aminurasyid and Sarbani will vote. So many people abused and and so many people affected and so many votes waiting to be cast to reflect the anger of the Rakyat against a BN government that has gone mad! Do you not think there is enough of them and us to ensure that never again will our country be torn apart and its coffers emptied by corrupt and arrogant BN politicians.

Never again.
Never again!
You are one. With me we are two.
Who else will join us to rid our self of this BN plague?

Court clears ex-cop Ramli Yusoff of power abuse

State of the Nation....as I see it.


We are now witnessing the very public suicide of UMNO and Barisan Nasional - not the taking down of DSAI. And certainly not of Pakatan Rakyat!

Let me explain....late last year I watched the antics of PKR and DSAI and thought that if UMNO gave them enough rope, they would have hung themselves by early 2011. If anything could go wrong with a political party election it did with PKR. And it all came to a head with the inglorious flight of Zaid Ibrahim away from PKR.

What else could go wrong for DSAI?

Well bloggers started turning against him in droves and vented their dissatisfaction and anger at DSAI on their blogs and anywhere on the electronic media that would hear their tales. I watched all this unfold from afar and asked myself if Najib will give DSAI enough rope?

No Najib did not have the wisdom to do so. Instead he went in for the kill - or so he thought! He rev ed up Sodomy 2 a notch and then went for broke with the three stooges and their Carcosa tapes! I guess he does not understand what "overkill" means!

Overkill is the use of excessive force or action that goes further than is necessary to achieve its goal, most commonly in acts of violence.

We saw the result of the Cold War between the USSR and America - where each had much much more nuclear arsenal than was necessary to kill the other many times over. Both were running neck to neck as the only two super powers in the world...and the USSR  blinked! Russia was so preoccupied with winning the race that it forgot to take care of the people they were governing - in the end the USA is still a super power - but the only super power around today. The USSR is kaput!

The same with Najib and UMNO. There are so focused on getting rid of DSAI in order to retain power that they are unable to comprehend the costs of doing it to themselves. After PKR party's election last year there was no need to pursue DSAi with sodomy 2 or the Carcosa tapes. But they went for the overkill and now they are getting themselves butchered!

This week Najib welcomed Mugabe to the Langkawi International Dialogue. Imagine having one of the worlds reviled despotic leader of a tin pot alley African country be the guest of honour at a so called international forum in our country! Are we that bankrupt of reputable world leaders that we need to scrap the bottom of the barrel and go look for Mugabe?

Rosmah on her own was able to grab first place in this fight between DSAI and Najib - observe that it is a fight between DSAI and Najib and Rosmah grabs first place in terms of being able to hold our attention longest! You simply cannot put this good spoiler away until she has done terminal damage to her husband and the government he leads! Just as I though the attention would once again be thrust upon DSAI along came Rosmah with her Hermes handbag, air brushed portraits and official trips abroad by this self proclaimed First Lady. But as in all these situation this Rosmah is oblivious to harm she does - she is too full of herself to notice!

Then Najibs decision to allow Perkasa and Mahathir to act as UMNO's proxy in its losing fight to promote Ketuanan Melayu will be a decision that will surely come back to haunt Najib in the lead up to the 13th general election. And he compounds this by trying to use Perkasa to neutralize BERSIH 2.0 - an exercise in futility because again Najib sees it fit to hide behind Perkasa rather then do the right thing for the Rakyat of Malaysia.

What about the "wedding" trip to Kazakhstan and his daughter's grand engagement? Najib's nightmares continues! How he is unable to forsee the adverse effects these extravagance will have on the Rakyat does brings into question his ability to be in touch with the people he is Prime Minister of!

Are Najib and UMNO amateurs? Pakatan Rakyat, and especially DSAI, must be rubbing their hands in glee. Unable to believe the ease with which UMNO was able to present themselves as the sacrificial lamb at the altar of Malaysian Politics. And so these last few months have seen the rise and rise of Pakatan Rakyat and DSAI - quiet like the rise of the Phoenix.

But enough of this banter. The 13th general election cometh and the time has come for Pakatan Rakyat to take the initiative. There is one thing Pakatan Rakyat must understand and understand well. Stop running down Barisan Nasional because the people within Barisan Nasional are quiet capable of doing it themselves. With people like Mahathir, Najib, Muhyiddin, Nazri, Chua Soil Lek and Samy Velu helping out Pakatan Rakyat is on to a winner here. The one thing that Pakatan Rakyat needs to understand is this : Barisan Nasional is not casting their voters - the Rakyat is the one with the votes to cast. So focus on the Rakyat NOW! Tell us again why we need to vote for Pakatan Rakyat and not Barisan Nasional. Tell us what you will do when you are elected and we will hold you to your promises of open and fair government. Remember this and Pakatan Rakyat will form government with the coming of the 13th general election - so help me GOD!

You're So Vain!
