Sebab itulah artikle ini lebih kepada pertukaran pemimpin, dan tidak
semestinya Parti, tetapi saya sangat sangsi dengan apa yang telah
terjadi kepada Sabah.

Pemimpin UMNO adalah seperti pemimpin diCUCUK HIDUNG.

Bayangkan, sebuah parti yang berbangga dengan keIslamannya,
tetapi Kerajaannya
i) mengamal riba dengan denda cukai pendapatan lebih dari 120%
setahun,
ii) tanpa sebarang notis kekurangan bayaran sebab kononnya notis
taksiran sudah memadai,
iii) mendenda walaupun sudah dibayar cukai,
(my-incometax.blogspot.com untuk bukti nyata)

iv) membiarkan pekerja perempuan negaranya menunjukkan kemaluannya
melalui seluar dalam berbentuk tali sahaja(G-string), untuk
ditunjukkan kepada seluruh orang didunia ini melalui Penerbangan Asia.
Ini disahkan oleh Isteri saya sendiri. Saya baru tahu sewaktu
perhimpunan agung UMNO sahaja.

Kenapa UMNO terpaksa menyuarakannya cuma diperhimpunan agungnya
sahaja?
Kenapa tidak boleh disuarakan dimesyuarat dalaman sahaja?

Kalau demikian, saya dengan tegas menuduh bahawa Islam Hadhari yang di
laungkan bukan Islam yang sebenarnya. Buktikan dengan perlaksanaannya.

Saya juga tahu bahawa UMNO adalah berbeza dari kerajaan tetapi ia
terlibat bersama sebab tidak mampu menyuarakan pendapat mereka kepada
kerajaan yang sepatutnya tunduk terhadap kehendak ahli-ahli UMNO.

UMNO masih ada peluang untuk memperbaiki keadaan, tetapi apa yang
sudah terjadi tetap sudah terjadi. Ia menjadi sejarah pahit tetapi
tetap sejarah. Kita tidak boleh mengubah sejarah lagi. Namun keadaan
masih boleh diperbaiki.

UMNO memerlukan pemimpin yang jujur, berani, pintar, prihatin,
saksama, bertolak-ansur dan rajin. Anwar Ibrahim memenuhi kesemua ini
tetapi sebab terlalu berani, dihapuskan oleh Mahathir. Abdullah
Badawi, yang kedua tetapi kurang berani, sebab itulah dia selamat.

Mungkin Khairi Jamaludin mampu tetapi belum ada rekod yang baik. Saya
hormati sifat berani tetapi saya selalu dengar perkara yang tidak
baik. Seperti penglibatannya dengan Air Asia sehingga Air Asia berani
melanggar tata-susila Islam dan bukan-Islam diserata dunia ini.

Saya sangsi dengan semua tuduhan ini. Namun demikian, pemimpin baru
UMNO yang mempunyai sifat Anwar Ibrahim perlu dipertengahkan. Namun
pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO yang memegang portfolio kerajaan yang sangsi
seperti Rafidah Aziz sepatutnya sudah lama disingkirkan dari Kerajaan
walaupun tanpa bukti yang jelas.

Untuk jawatan tinggi, kita tidak mampu lagi mengikut lunas-lunas
undang-undang sepenuhnya. Akal dan fikiran perlu digunakan. Bukannya
undang-undang yang tidak menggunakan akal, tetapi prosesnya terlalu
lama dan selalu disalah gunakan. Ini terbukti dengan kes saya melawan
LHDN. Bukan undang-undang yang salah, tetapi pegawai kerajaan yang
tidak mematuhi undang-undang kerajaan itu sendiri.

Untuk menjadi pemimpin kerajaan yang efektif, tidak semestinya tahu
menggubal undang-undang sahaja, tetapi mengawal kakitangan kerajaannya
juga. Rakyat dan pembangkang dan juga ahli politik UMNO selalu
tersilap dengan mengaitkan kakitangan kerajaan, ketua kerajaan dengan
parti. Buat apa ahli UMNO menyokong Hakim yang kurang amanah? Hakim
adalah kakitangan kerajaan sahaja.

Mungkin ada sifat malu membuka pekong didada. Namun, untuk membaiki
penyakit, perlu didedahkan juga supaya dapat dilihat oleh orang yang
mungkin mampu menyembuhnya kelak. Kalau pun mahu mendedahkan pekong
kepada ahli keluarga sahaja, kenapa tidak didedahkan kepada ahli-ahli
UMNO dahulu.

Sabah is heaven. Beautiful shark-free beaches and mountains,
next to civilizations with no natural or man-made disasters,
except Malaysia. But how long will it last?

Malaysia used to be among the best but no more

http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Sunday/Columns/2086779/Article/index_html

The defence used by the Government to charges of dirty tricks in
elections is that:

i) the opposition used to win elections.

That was many years ago. Certainly it cannot be argued that Malaysia
has among the highest standard in election fairness which allowed the
oppositiion some chance of winning.

By the last election(2004), when BN seats in Trengganu were won when
the voting attendance achieved the unheard of 98%(? Please verify),
when the highest ever was 80%, it is certainly a very clear evidence
that fraud was taking place.

Even Timor-timor, among the poorest nation on earth has a much better
election procedure than Malaysia in having dyed fingers and
transparent ballot boxes.

ii) Anwar Ibrahim used to lead BN to victory over the opposition using
the same tactics.

What clear evidence is required that fraud and unfairness is being
carried out in Malaysian elections than by statements of those who had
seen it on first hand. In fact, most knowledge we had about election
discrepancies come from former BN members.

Malaysia used to be among the fairest in election under the guidance
of the UN and British government but those were more than 50 years
ago.

Time has passed. Other nations have improved their standards while
Malaysia had deteriorated its standards. Now Malaysia is among the
most corrupt and lawless in the whole world.

We are going in the ways of North Korea and Myanmar. Soon our economy
will tumble the way of these oppressive and lawless nations. These
nations are peaceful because all oppositions are suppressed severely.
Don't you see what happens to their economies? Is peace worth the
price of the destruction of freedom and rule-of-law and therefore our
livelihood and economy?

Many Malaysians think so judged by election results. The most obvious
is in Sabah where the BN majority is the most. But look at the economy
of Sabah. It is now among the poorest in the whole world.

Soon, Malaysia will go into the way of the poorest in the whole world
if election fraud and lawlessness are allowed to continue all because
of the fear of racial riots. In fact this is the most effective tactic
used by BN in many elections where views of the May 13, 1969 riots
were used as a secret weapon during the last days of the previous
election campaigns.

DAP and PAS may be bad but BN is certainly bad. Why don't we give the
oppostion a chance while we still have some chance? If you don't like
to vote, someone else will vote for you. I am sure that any oppostion
party that may take over will have lots of problems but so are BN
parties.

But may and are, are certainly two different things altogether. We
should fear the proven evil than a perceived evil, but never to
surrender completely our rights to anybody. Most of all, the present
government, which has a proven bad record.

opera for pocket PC is full-featured

It allows me to do everything that I do at desktop internet browsers.

The only problem for v8.65 for WM2003 is the corrupted display when scrolling more than 2 pages.

I use Axim X50v, with Vga landscape display mode.

My classmates are also world class

I've just realised that many people are capable of beating me in academic studies.

One person claimed to be able to think until he nearly fainted, and one, got his head throbbing in pain.

Both of them are so scared of losing their mind, they stop thinking.

These are signs of an inate ability to think deeply. I'm not capable of doing this. The best that I can do is just to lose orientation and feel so cold, but that was at my peak when I was taking my form 5 exams.

Both of these men, are good in their schools and manage to be the top students in their class without even studying anything.

Maybe they were satisfied with their results and don't want to risk damaging their minds, they stopped studying hard, and in the end didn't manage to score in the high school exams sufficient for them to get scholarships and pursue their education further.

These men are over 30s now, and is currently studying at a Diploma in Computer Science course. They think that I'm a genius because I can program in Java and understand computer data structures, the hardest subjects in CS.

Currently they are below average now. Their brains have hardened but I don't think it is due to old age. Just a lack of practise and lack of focus. I detect some brilliance in them but they must push themselves to excellence and recover their concentration power.

If they had been my classmates, I'm sure they will excell.

All my classmates, had excelled to be among the best in Malaysia, because they compete against me and my competition is perfection. Usually my classmates will try to match my marks, but in doing it, they have to uplift themselves to the world standard.

As proof, there was a national test for primary six, now called UPSR.
The best result for the school was 63%. I met a former classmate of mine, who got 65%, and thought that I got 68%, but actually I got 88%. He is now our accountant. More than 3 students manage to get higher than 63%.

There was no statewide comparison of results in those years, but I have not met anyone exceeding that mark.

When doing my bridge class at Kudat, my father sent me to a mission school despite my objection. I hate losing one year changing medium of instruction. Even in those days, I don't think highly of schooling, but I love to learn.

All my classmates were chinese, except one dusun boy, so he was my only close friend. His result in that class was not so good initially but I was always first in the class. When I left, he took over as the best student and is now a medical doctor.

During form 3, the exam results were announced statewide as well as natioinwide. Exam esults before my time was not better than aggregate 15 about. I got aggregate 5, the highest possible and had never been achieved by any Sabahan student before, and making me possibly the top 5 in Malaysia in aggregate terms.

My closest friend got 6. There are others who got better than aggregate 15.

Later on, similar results occurred at form 5, making my school, Sung Siew Secondary School, the best school in Sabah.

We have good graduate teachers but do you think that they score A1s in the subjects that they teach? Most probably not. I knew this even in those days and I always challenge all my teachers.

My golden rule since primary school is: don't always believe any book or teacher.
