Malaysian Muslims have very low faith/Iman

Just attended friday prayer this afternoon.

The Imam cite a verse from Prophet Muhammad that had been a guidance
for me all this time:
"If you see something wrong, stop it with your hands if you are
strong, or use your tongue if not strong enough, or at least with your
heart".

Unfortunately this is not the complete verse. I only learned this
afternoon that there is an additional phrase:
"If you only use your tongue, it shows that you have a low Iman/Faith
in Islam". This phrase had been hidden from me all these years.

This shows clearly that I have very low Iman because I only know how
to protest with my tongue, not with my hands, i.e. take concrete
actions. Only Anwar Ibrahim and PAS have the right Iman/Faith.
Most of us just do not have the correct amount of faith in Islam. No
wonder I and my statesmen are punished by living in the poorest region
on Earth despite having such abundance of resources and beauty.

Re: Writings From Wan Hamidi

This is just an accusations and without any valid fact. It may be true
based on logic but very racist in attitude.

If we leave racism behind, you'll find the truth.

It happened to my cousins at batu Sapi Sandakan, the most beautiful
piece of land in the world that is now turned into the ugliest place
on earth equivalent to a shit hole.

A chinese immigrant worked with their grandparents at BAtu Sapi as
fishermen.
Their grand parent was promised the Batu Sapi based on the british
customary law because he was a native.
When the British departed, they sold the whole land to the chinese
immigrant.
The question is, how could the chinese immigrant have the money to buy
the land in the first place?
He was just as poor and uneducated as the natives.

He must have got advise from chinese bank clerks and took up loans to
finance the purchase of the land.
In those days, very few natives went to school in order to become
clerks.

Many stories of land being sold in Tanjung Aru because of debts. The
chinese will just let the native fishermen take provisions from his
shop without charging at first. Later on charge interests for non-
payments. The natives don't bother to check the prices and interest
rates of of the goods sold. They end up selling their land to settle
these debts.
How could fishermen sell land right near the beach in order to move
inland where he cannot fish at all?

My friends grand parents were Arabic traders. He used to own almost
the whole of Sandakan Town. When he died, he passed it to his
descendents that turned into drunkards. Who enticed him to this state?
It was the chinese businessmen who pretend to befriend him and let him
into a drunkard stupor so that he will sell all his land cheaply to
them.

These are documented reasons why these people lose their lands unlike
the false accusations made below devoid of any fact.

Contrary to most opinion, the natives know the value of land, at least
those who have land titles. They just lose their land because they
were manipulated by unethical chinese businessmen. Actually any
businessman will do the same but the chinese are the most numerous in
those days.

Nowadays, these businessmen could be the natives themselves and the
victims could be gullible chinese also.

The fact remains that the majority chinese had managed to manipulate
the situations to get the upper hand in the early days of Malaysia
because they are the most educated and business minded. They exploit
the systems to their advantages due to lack of enforcement of laws.
Even now this exists with banks exploiting their clients with
"incontestable, irrevocable terms for their managers to calculate
interests and charges at will" for all car and housing loans in
Malaysia.

I imagine it was much worse in those days. It had led to the racial
discrimination that exist today making the chinese the richer ethnic
groups. That is why, even in USA, the affirmative action is devoted
mostly to Education in order to close the income gap between ethnic
lines.

Malaysian laws and systems are also not efficient enough to stop
unethical and discriminatory practises unlike in USA.

Chinese the largest recipient of Hard Core Programs

Despite clear evidences that the Chinese are among the richest ethnic
in Malaysia, they are also the largest recipient of the monthly RM300
hard core poor recipients.

My cousins, who do not have any husband, living in shit infested
place, only receive zinc roofings every election time, relying on
their sons who are paid below poverty level. These sons also have
families of their own to look after despite having such low wages.

This information is told by the Welfare Ministry who handle this hard
core programs with the intention to tell the poor natives to apply for
the hard core poverty eradication programs.

How could this happen in a BN controlled state such as Sabah. These
poor natives are all strong BN supporters and they only demand these
zinc roofs come election days. It never occurred to them to demand the
RM300 per month programs because nobody told them anything.

The simple reason is that, the natives are so poor that they are
uneducated, that they cannot afford even to go to the ministry and
fill up the forms. The chinese, despite being labelled as hard core
poor, can afford the trips and education to fill in the forms.
Probably even bribe the welfare officers to expedite the processing.

The best solution, is the pay all those above the age of 60 RM300 per
month. Only then will it be fair for everybody.

Despite all the UN statistics indicating that the natives are much
poorer than the chinese, it is the natives that get the least
allocation of help for the hard core poor. What is BN's strategy? To
win over the chinese votes while neglecting the natives that have
always supported them stupidly?

State government more important for Bread and Butter issues

Zaid is right. The state government is more important for bread and
butter issues.
If the voters are only interested in bread and butter issues such as
land titles and garbage collection, then since PKR is the current
state government, no matter what the result of the MP election is, an
BN MP will not help them at all. It will make it worse.

This is confirmed by the voters comments in this article.

Why on Earth Sabahan MPs be so scared in crossing over to any party
they wish at the MP level when the people already got the state
government that they want?

sabah already got the BN, touted as more Islamic than PKR that had to
sleep with the racist DAP, as the State Government. As normal bread
and butter issues are handled by the State Government, why not topple
BN at the Federal Level in favour of someone who can give more grants
to Sabah State Government directly, i.e. PR.

The total grants may be the same as pointed out by Musa Aman, but it
won't solve the bread and butter issues of the State since it is
handled by the Federal Government, not the State Government.

What sort of stupid arguments that Sabahans had succumbled to, to the
point that Sabah is now confirmed as the poorest, not only in Malaysia
but the whole world, despite having such immense natural resources and
natural beauty.

BN sees easy shot with Zaid as goal keeper
WED, 14 APR 2010 11:40
By Zainal Epi

KUALA KUBU BARU: Barisan Nasional sees an easy battle now that PKR is
fielding former minister Zaid Ibrahim as its candidate for the Hulu
Selangor parliamentary by-election.

For one, Zaid is not a local boy, and so he is not in touch with local
issues which the upcoming by-election is expected to focus on. Worse
still, he may not be able to blend with the locals, some voters here
say.

The semi-urban voters of the constituency are mostly working in
factories, plantations and their own land and bread-and-butter issues
are their daily worries. National issues, which Zaid is fond of and
which brought him into the limelight, are treated as "extraneous" and
do not concern them.

"I heard of him (Zaid). PKR members told me he is a righteous man.
It's good but what we want here is someone who can relate to us,
someone who can help us solve our local problems such as licensing,
garbage collection, developing the town so that our business can
grow," said one shop owner here.

But PKR de facto chief Anwar Ibrahim probably has other plans for
Zaid. Anwar may be looking at the larger picture: Zaid is not just a
man representing 64,500 voters; more importantly, he is someone who
can be a great asset in Parliament to address the bigger issues.

While Anwar probably wants Zaid to be a national player as an MP, the
main concern for the party now is how to sell Zaid to the local
voters. The 198-majority votes garnered by the late Zainal Abidin
Ahmad in the 2008 general election was "unreal" because it reflected
more a general anti-government sentiment than a liking for PKR,
according to folks here.

Office worker Rosmina Ismail, 44, said voters wanted someone whom they
could relate to.

"The late Zainal Abidin was an intellectual but he came across as a
people's man whom the semi-urban voters could relate to. He was simple
and down-to-earth.

"We thought PKR would have picked a local man but instead it chose a
prominent personality, someone we find difficult to communicate with,"
she said, with two friends nodding in agreement.

For BN, the early prediction of an uphill battle has now ceased as it
sees Zaid a candidate with "loads of baggage".

"It is good for us that PKR is fielding Zaid. It will be a pleasure to
fight him here. Our chances of winning are better now since he has
lots of baggage with him," said Jerlun MP Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir.

The Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister believes that
Zaid's past disciplinary problems when he was in Umno will be his
undoing.

Other BN MPs shared similar sentiments: the field is clear now and the
goal post is wide open for a good shot; there is no need for a
penalty.

Despite BN's "feel good" sentiment, the ruling coalition is not
without problems. With just two days to go for the coalition to name
its candidate, squabbles within the MIC may just blow away BN's
chances of walking away with the coveted prize, come April 25.

Former three-time MP G Palanivel is still being pushed hard by party
president S Samy Vellu while the preferred choice among Umno division
members is MIC deputy Youth chief V Mugilan.

Whoever the candidate is, some local folks said they would prefer
local boy Mugilan who is known to be affable and easy to get along
with.

The ball is now in BN's court: it must field a suitable candidate who
can win the hearts and minds of the local people. More importantly, he
must be someone who can effectively serve the people after the battle
is over.

If BN fields the wrong candidate, then PKR may romp home with a bigger
majority.

Future directions of Low Cost Airlines

This article is interesting but let me share my recent experiences
with Air Asia(Low Cost) and MAS(Normal).

On our trip to Penang, my old mother who has difficulty in walking had
to endure the up and down the stairs in Air Asia despite paying for
the Wheel Chair, so I decided to by our own Transit/Transport Chair in
our trip to Kuching. The ticket was more expensive as MAS(MHlow) at
about RM700 for the return trip, excluding wheel chair and food.

On our trip to Kuching, despite paying in advance of up to 2 months,
MAS tickets was cheaper as well to Kuching. We decided to split our
groups into 2, one Air Asia, the other MAS. This is how we discovered
that MAS can be cheaper even 2 weeks before a flight.
On top of that, those on Air Asia has to endure flight changes fro 2
pm to 6.45 am. We had to wake up early in the morning.
My brother also lost a luggage(ikan terubuk masin) while waiting for
the check in. During MAS flights, this is very rare because their
passengers tend to be well-to-do.

So always keep your ears and eyes open. Never assume that Air Asia is
always cheaper.

Spirit Airlines' $45 carry-on fee meets resistance

Plans to start charging for putting bags in overhead compartments have
some federal officials talking about taking action on unfair "hidden"
feees.

By Dan Reed, USA TODAY
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and a U.S. senator are threatening
to halt a move by Spirit Airlines to charge passengers for stowing
bags in the overhead bins on its planes.
LaHood vowed over the weekend that his agency would address Spirit's
new charge, which could cost customers up to $45 to carry on a bag,
along with what he calls other unfair or hidden fees.

"We're gonna hold the airline's feet to the fire on this," LaHood said
in an interview published on the Elliott.org travel site. "I think
it's a bit outrageous that an airline is going to charge someone to
carry on a bag and put it in the overhead. And I've told our people to
try and figure out a way to mitigate that."

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Monday he'd propose legislation
declaring carry-on bags to be "reasonably necessary" to air
transportation unless the Treasury Department reverses its recent
ruling that carry-on bags aren't necessary. That would make such fees
subject to federal taxes the same as fares.

Schumer said passengers "have always had the right to bring a carry-on
bag without having to worry about getting nickel and dimed."

TODAY IN THE SKY: Spirit CEO: Sen. Schumer 'seems to have spoken
without knowing all the facts'
The threats come as airlines here and overseas increasingly impose new
fees and increase others on services that used to be an amenity or
even a necessity and included in the price of a plane ticket.

Ryanair, the leader in Europe in imposing what the airlines call "a la
carte" fees, hasn't abandoned the idea of putting pay toilets on the
airline's Boeing 737s. Stephen McNamara, Ryanair's spokesman, said
that Boeing hasn't gotten back yet on his airline's request to see
whether the toilets are feasible.

TODAY IN THE SKY: Ryanair pushes ahead with plan for toilet fee
Such a move isn't likely soon, though, because it could require
extensive and expensive modifications to existing planes and raise
questions by regulators.

Here in the U.S., threats by the government to step in to halt fees —
even Spirit's — are raising questions.

"This industry is still deregulated," said Terry Trippler, the veteran
travel agent and commentator. "Spirit Airlines has the right to run
their business the way they see fit. If customers don't like it, they
will fly someone else."

The fees help prop up U.S. airlines' ledgers, which have posted $60
billion in losses the last 10 years.

Consultant Jay Sorensen, who has championed a la carte pricing, said
consumers like the low fares fees help underwrite.

"I don't know if anyone likes the idea of fees," he said. "But people
like the low fares charged by the airlines that are associated with
these fees."

Bala vs Anwar

Bala claimed that he was offered RM5 million for retracting his
declaration that Najib is connected to the Altantuya's murder but
then, retracted his declaration again.
Maybe Bala was not paid as much as what he had hoped for, or Anwar
counter offered the RM5million. Is Anwar that much richer and more
powerful than the government of Malaysia?

If Bala rescinded the first SD for RM5million, how much could he be
offered in the first SD. Certainly much less than RM5 million. How
about the 3rd retraction? Can Anwar afford more than RM5 million?

Bala could just be an honest person trying to tell the truth but
feared for his life but he has to run away in order to safeguard his
life. If the Anwar was the person threatening him, why didn't he talk
to even his family after making the 2nd SD.

Why did he disappear forever, even from police and interpol despite
breaking the laws in retracting SDs and these SDs concern the lives of
people that are accused of Murder?

Just imagine the difficulties of anyone in trying to provide evidence
against the ruling party. Just imagine what Anwar had to go through
even now and yet Anwar had been doing it for more than 30 years.

Najib's brother quizzed by MACC over Bala's SD
By Giam Say Khoon

Datuk Seri Mohd
Nazri Abdul Aziz

KUALA LUMPUR (April 12, 2010): Minister in the Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz today said that two key witnesses,
including the prime minister's younger brother, implicated in private
investigator P. Balasubramaniam's statutory declaration (SD) on the
murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu have already been questioned.
Disclosing this during a press conference in the parliament lobby
today, Mohd Nazri said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)
had questioned Datuk Mohammad Nazim Razak and businessman Deepak
Jaikishan who were implicated in Balasubramaniam's SD last year.

"We have (interrogated Mohammad Nazim and Deepak). That's it," he said
when asked for confirmation.

Earlier, in a written reply to Tian Chua (PKR-Batu), Mohd Nazri
informed Parliament that the case was still open and investigations
are at a standstill because the MACC is unable to secure a testimony
from Balasubramaniam.

Tian Chua had asked about the status of investigation into
Balasubramaniam's allegations.

"We are trying to get his (Balasubramaniam's) statement from his
lawyer who is not telling where he is for his safety," said Nazri.

Last November, Balasubramaniam alleged in his SD that Deepak had urged
him to withdraw his declaration made on July 2, 2008 which linked
Mongolian model Altantuya's death to Najib. He also claimed that
Mohammad Nazim, an architect, had offered him RM5 million to retract
his declaration.

Najib has repeatedly denied speculations that he is in any way
connected to Altantuya's death. -- theSun

Malayans, not Malaysians are obese because of late night eating

I have just come back from Penang and Kuching and observe their eating
habits.

In Penang, they eat even late at night. I used to observe it in KL
more than 10 years ago where people have dinner at midnight.

In Sabah and Sarawak, most restaurants are closed before midnight.
Even the seafood restaurant that we visited in Kuching already closed
before 8 pm. In fact were the last customer.
Unlike in Penang. The restaurant at Seberang Perai, only open at 5pm
and closes at 3am. Even at 1 am, it was so crowded.

Sabah and Sarawak makes up 60% of the area of Malaysia and much more
obvious in the map of Malaysia, and population wise it makes up a
quarter of Malaysia and growing more rapidly.

Malaysians getting obese - by eating too heavily at night
By FLORENCE A. SAMY
newsdesk@thestar.com.my

PETALING JAYA: More Malaysians are keeping awake till late to indulge
in what is becoming a top national pastime – tucking it in at 24-hour
eating joints.

Yes, we are practically eating round-the-clock. If you are still not
convinced, take a look at the goings-on at mamak shops close to and
way past midnight.

These shops have sprouted up all over the country to satisfy the
cravings of Malaysians who are gorging on calorie-packed late night
meals with hardly a care – and getting obese in the process.

Statistics show that the prevalence of obesity among Malaysian adults
increased by a staggering 250% over a 10-year period from 1996 while
the number of overweight has increased by 70%.

The National Health and Morbidity Survey in 2006 showed that two out
of every five adults or 43%, were either overweight or obese and an
alarming situation where the number of obese adults had more than
tripled over a decade, from 4% in 1996 to 14% in 2006.

Besides that, about 38% of youngsters aged between 12 and 18 were
classified as overweight.

A recent survey involving 10,000 students showed that 24% of those
aged between six and 12 were either overweight or obese.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai is obviously a very worried
man, with more Malaysians at risk of being seriously ill due to
uncontrollable eating.

"It has to change ... an unbalanced diet and eating late at night,''
he cautioned. "In the past, we used to have two meals. These days, we
are eating five to six times daily with late-night suppers at mamak
stalls,'' he said after launching the Malaysian Council for Obesity
Prevention (MCOM) here yesterday.

MCOM, which comprises 13 professional bodies and NGOs, was set up to
help the government counter the problem of obesity in the country.

The minister, an avowed vegetarian, spoke of another worrying trend –
meat is fast becoming a staple-diet here. A diet rich in red meat
causes high cholesterol which leads to cardio-vascular disease.

"Available data on the prevalence of overweight and obesity indicates
that the problem we face may be more serious than those in other
countries of the region," he added.

Being overweight and obese, he said, would lead to chronic diseases
such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even cancer.

According to statistics, 14.9% and 43% of Malaysians aged above 30
suffer from diabetes and hypertension respectively, with 20.7% of
adults over 18 suffering from high cholesterol.

Liow said 300 nutritionists would be employed to serve at government
clinics nationwide to help tackle obesity problems by creating
awareness on the dangers of unhealthy eating.

Malaysian Council for Obesity Prevention (MCOM) president Jong Koi
Chong echoed the minister's concerns, saying the unhealthy eating
trend was becoming a major problem.

"Our metabolic rate is very low at night making it easy for fat to
accumulate in the body.

"Most 24-hour restaurants serve food that is high in fat, calories and
cholesterol. Sadly, more of our young are picking up bad eating habits
from adults,'' he added.
