The recession riddle.

Took some time this morning to read FOX news. Four were arrested for plot to bomb a synagogue in Bronx, New York using C-4 explosive and to shoot down a military plane using Stinger.

„CROMITIE explained to the informant that his parents had lived in Afghanistan and that he was upset about the war there and that many Muslim people were being killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan by the United States
Military forces. CROMITIE expressed interest in returning to
Afghanistan and spoke to the CW about how if he, CROMITIE, were
to die a martyr, he would go to "paradise." CROMITIE also
expressed an interest in doing "something to America." The
following month, CROMITIE and the informant discussed the
organization Jaish-e-Mohammed, a designated Foreign Terrorist
Organization based in Pakistan, with which the informant claimed
to be involved. CROMITIE stated to the informant that he,
CROMITIE, would be interested in joining Jaish-e-Mohammed to "do
jihad."“

Another score for Islamophobia.

Islamophobia is very much alive because:

Islam is seen as a monolithic bloc, static and unresponsive to change.

1.It is seen as separate and "other." It does not have values in common with other cultures, is not affected by them and does not influence them.

2.It is seen as inferior to the West. It is seen as barbaric, irrational, primitive, and sexist.

3.It is seen as violent, aggressive, threatening, supportive of terrorism, and engaged in a clash of civilizations.

4.It is seen as a political ideology, used for political or military advantage.

5.Criticisms made of "the West" by Muslims are rejected out of hand.

6.Hostility towards Islam is used to justify discriminatory practices towards Muslims and exclusion of Muslims from mainstream society.

7.Anti-Muslim hostility is seen as natural and normal.

Now I don't see this as to revolve around the circle of Islamic faith. It is eminently a result of the economic downturn, wouldn't you agree? Psychologists across the US continue to report the increasing number of Americans incapable of sustaining their own lives, who would resort to drastic and insane measure such committing suicide.

This is a global pandemic, and amidst, misconceptions disperse easily within the community.

The toughest challenge that a government would face is to cater for the people, the poor most importantly and nonetheless; the rich.

We should expect more violence coming our way with the increasing lay-offs and sky-rocketing unemployment rate.

This is the time to practice 'collective' form of economy, or what some would call; the 'communist' form of economy. The motivation of production should shift from profit to the welfare of the society, something the private sector couldn't offer. Instead of organizing crash-courses to provide people with extra skills, the government should open up factories to mass produce.

Produce more necessities and less luxuries (which would mostly be in the form of services). We have to catch our breath to compete with overpopulated countries such India and China that ace at mass production and cheap labor for they had been dealing with it since long. We should focus less on recollecting the local political shambles.

strings of emotions.

Enamored as it jolts,
Joyous as it sways,
Scented ever more,
By this love, beauty galore.

A Sinner's Silence

In peace is the sinner,
As she hides away verity,
Behind the benign affection,
Verily, In peaceful corruption.

Those forgotten deeds, I traded,
With worn veracities,
Is it still not rewarding?
When all but nothing, you are taking.

Ask from me not, justice,
His justice for the ruins,
His justice against your temptations,
Ask solemnly, O' sinner awaiting aversions.

Sri Lanka - Tamil Eelam

What happened to Malaysia? I just watched the most unbelievable video on youtube: a group of Malaysian Indians emotionally protesting for the LTTE in Sri Lanka.

Say again your last?

Now you're sure it's not some restaurant or place in Bukit Bintang with the name Sri Lanka (LTTE would be the acronym of the owner's name)?

I'm pretty sure the last time I read an article concerning human rights in Sri Lanka, it is said that “BOTH the Government of Sri Lanka and the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are accused of violating human rights”.

So now Malaysia should support a militant group just because you people are minorities? And any police officer who refuses to support your cause, has miraculously, somehow, let the people of Sri Lanka down and has let the brutally murdered children of Sri Lanka die in vain? Can you talk straight? Oh, and grow up, please.

I tell you what, the last time this 'Semenanjung' saw an Indian movement supporting Indians overseas was during the Japanese occupation. But that's understandable because Gandhi was there and he's one of my all time favorite.

Remember Ambon? Well of course you don't. You just think about your cause. Just for the sake of comparison, here. We never took it to Putrajaya did we? What makes you think you can? And just recently: Palestine. We were enraged. Did we shove Shimon Peres's coffin up the FRU's arse? Or choke his effigy wanting to kill him while knowing there's no life in the effigy to begin with?

Do you think bringing up big names such as EU and USA is going to change anything? Do you know why they just don't bother? Well I'll brake it down to you simple: they've got more important things to do such as working. But it doesn't mean they don't give a rat's arse about all the suffering does it?

And PR, please stop this nonsense. It makes you look cheap.

At the starting, I used the term 'Malaysian Indians'. Of what significance that is, here, I leave for you to decide.

“Some blanks you just can't fill”

As they gaze into the water.

On this calm surface was once,
an affectionate reflection,
still and undisturbed,
the wind was generous,
while the ode of the leaves consumed them;
joyous.

As the rain trickle,
through the majestic canopy span,
the once faithful guardian,
seized to contain,
the tears of vile heart,
be looked unto with disdain.

Now the rain died,
and so does love, with it,
the surface lays dead and empty,
water drops taunting defeat,
ripples stealing reflection from the last of reflection's;
retreat.

conversion case: Indra Ghandi.

I'll make this brief. Disregard what people would label me as, I strongly feel that the children of Indra Gandhi should be brought up away from the influence of the religion of both the father and the mother.

In this intricate and 'twisted' case we learned how the mother used this reason:

“When the youngest child, who is still being breast-fed by the mother, is taken away from her, it is definitely traumatic for the mother” ,

and sell it to the medias, to further her cause of making all her children, Hindus. This is downright, vile and preposterous.

I also think that bringing up the issue of violence (of the husband) in the court of law is mala fide, out of context and is deliberately meant to 'appeal to the mass', save an evidence.

The attorneys are also religiously motivated and by that I mean; blinded.

Here, the scientific concept of Tabula Rasa comes into term with Islam. According to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the young minds are 'clean' (fitrah) and their parents (abawaiyh) shall make them Jews or Christians or Majusis.

This could very much escalate to gender issue.

I wonder what they teach in Hinduism.

At least come clean.

As for the parliament members, if they are Muslims and yet do not act like one, then they are ________ (fill in the blank with appropriate answer).

Malay language for science and mathematics.

First of all, I'd like to make it clear that the most disgustingly ridiculous of all those who speak both Malay and English are those who 'interweave' these two languages with the intention of fooling people from out of town into respecting them. Every time I see some goons on national television doing this, I feel like giving him / her a good punch or two (for the later, a slap would do). Don't hate me for this, it's an abomination.

If you want to speak in English make sure it's completely English. Otherwise, forget about it.

Do you know that in 2004, DBP (Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka) and MABBIM (Majlis Bahasa Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia ) actually suggested that Malay Language be made the 'leading' language of ASEAN since more than half of the total inhabitants of ASEAN countries use it? To those of you who do not know this, the incompetence in science and mathematics you have in common is a result of your own ignorance and indolence. Do not put the blame on learning science and mathematics in Malay.

To me, there are two kinds of people who support direly, learning science and mathematics in English. The first: those who received their early educations in English (most likely to be of Malay origin), learned how to 'drink tea' and live like the English, regard themselves as 'above average' and want their sons and daughters to tread the same path.

The second: those who rarely use Malay in their day to day life, consciously or unconsciously regard Malay as a lesser language, use English instead and think that learning science and mathematics in English could be an advantage to their sons and daughters, over the sons and daughters of those to whom English is secondary.

In between are those who follow blindly. These people deserve no group of their own, wouldn't you agree?

Ah. The first one is always the worst or the best. Malays who do not see the importance of preserving their own heritage. Malays who could not answer when someone ask them about the possibility of making their native language as competitive as English, just like what is being done in Europe and other parts of the world. What they could do, however, is making sure that their pathetic, foul-smelling hubbub of supporting English for science and mathematics is discernible. What did they make of 30 people demonstrating that Malay language be treated like it's a national language?

The second consist mainly of ungrateful brutes. It's a social contract and everyone knows it. For the sake of integration, all Malaysians have to acknowledge Malay as the leading language by way of using it and promoting it. Let's say cherish it. And let's not forget that we had several 'integration issues' from the day we attained our independence. You think this concept is outdated? Well, I've heard about China making some aggressive moves in promoting English to their people, but know this; this country was founded upon a principle so different from that. So stop putting China as an example. It makes me want to puke. And I don't know if you ever heard of countries like Germany (Leitkultur) having their own leading culture to ensure integration among their people, countries with lots of foreigners and of richer diversities. This value consensus drew a line they dare not cross until this day, when they have their Mercedes, Porsche, Volkswagen and so forth and are able to make you proud of driving it. Hey, even the Chinese from the mainland.

So until you can prove the Germans wrong, and of course, you, right, I would lift those banners and walk those streets, proud of the 30 comrades who do not forget their history easily.

An open letter to Mohd Ridhuan Mohammad of UM.

The situation in Perak is not unique. From the trove of the world's historical heritage you should gain a lot.

The primacy of personal politics has long contributed to the ugliest chapters of world history, long before we even come to know constitutional monarchy. Amidst of the crisis in 1914 in Russia, the Tsar's unequivocal and unconditional support for the Serbs indirectly resulted a revolution which was not so kind to his throne. After the wars from multiple fronts he waged, the Duma came to absolute power and he, to his knees. Let us not forget the fact that the Tsar called for wars despite the assessments of his military strength - conducted by his generals - which were not so supportive.

The lesson here is that a king is still a human. If to question is natural to humans then to be questioned is also natural to humans. Let not this one slip through, because nature restores power to those worthy of it by thunder: war strategies to the generals and democracy to the people.

A wave of 'Transformismo' struck the entire Malaysia in the previous General Election as the people sipped democracy 'more than what the leaders could afford'.

In the crisis of 1914, it is not easy to determine where the final responsibility for taking decisions lay, with the Emperor formally being the ultimate authority and receiving advice from civil and military officials who were not bound by any principle of collective responsibility. In Russia, the situation was complicated by the personality of the Emperor who regarded himself as the ultimate power but who was influenced in contrary directions by his own successive whims and the policies of some of his advisors, and still more by his belief that he represented and embodied the aspirations of most of his subjects.

I do not see the difference between what happened there and then and what's happening here and now for imps should look alike as they sit in eager caucus, as Emily Dickinson blatantly put it. And if you believe that these uprise and revolutions by the people are not inscribed in our tradition of loyalty, you can always check our history or learn of it the hard way.

In fact, what choices does an implemented policy of 'Prudenza, Riserbo, Segretezza' would provide the people with and of what promises?

God Bless you.

OBAMA is COOL.

Dear Mr. President,

You are too cool to be true. I hate to sound exaggerating but already, there are countless number of youngsters who would like to be just like you, including myself. I sure pray to God that the future generation will appreciate you as a hero...Not having to know you through websites such as this:


http://www.sunnahonline.com/ilm/contemporary/0013.htm

I believe actions speak louder than words.

Yes you can.
Yes I can.
Yes WE can.








Even your wristwatch is cool:

Since the downfall of Islamic Ottoman Empire in 1922 or earlier; from the adaptation of western cultures forth, western hegemony brought new definition of almost everything including human needs. The fundamental human needs as outlined by Maslow and Max Neef (1943) are;

1- subsistence,
2- protection,
3- affection,
4- understanding,
5- participation,
6- recreation (in the sense of leisure, time to reflect, or idleness),
7- creation,
8- identity,
9- freedom.

By manipulating these needs, hedonism is reincarnated. The worst part of this ‘creativity’ is the ‘excessive freedom’ it provides to both women and men. This strategy will always find its way to the hearts of mankind as it goes along with lust, perfectly.

Nowadays, women start to talk about emancipation, changing of basic Islamic ethics of hijab and equality without even questioning the relevance of their actions and what the outcomes might be.

The evolution of fashion was most aggressive after World War 2. Makeups which were associated to prostitution back then was accepted into society, overnight, thanks to the overwhelming development of media and entertainment. Designers mushroomed and a new industry was created. Despite economic imbalances, the fashion industry continued to prosper and up till this day.

Every new waves of fashion is always interconnected to Hollywood. Hollywood was also responsible of tuning up the minds of commonnies to seeing ‘Eros’ and ‘Thanatos’ (the two urges, by Sigmund Freud) animalistically. Since then, women are seen as an ‘art piece’ for everyone. Excessive exposure of women body is not seen as immoral anymore. Instead, it is ‘daring’. Chastity paradoxically became a shame instead of a pride.

Henceforth, women lost their pride. Sex industries sprout and continue to expand. No one can deny the massive degradation this development brought to women. Women; mothers of future generations, have been robbed of their rights and they like it. They express this God-forbidden joy by labeling Islamic fundamentalist groups as closed-minded, orthodox extremists.

Let us pause and ponder. When did the transition of dressing culture actually took place? We remember watching classic movies with actresses putting on ‘reasonable’ clothing. What happened to skirts? Are we in deprivation of fabrics which are NOT translucent? Truly, this deprivation will result in something more than just moral corruption.

Some say that it is unjust for men to only ‘talk’ in such way about women.
Unjust it is, if they are seeing this problem from who’s-to-blame point of view. But examining this problem holistically, we would find out that there are reasons to protect what’s precious, and the same applies to women. It is the protective nature of the religion Islam and the love of God that some guidelines are made compulsory to Muslimahs and Muslims.

Mankind’s ‘escalation’ is evident. But there is also no say in this universal religion that pose restriction to women from developing. It is only that the ‘channel’ should be right (not like the westerners).

We should recall the concept of super ego, ego and ID, suggested by Sigmund Freud. It is with the motivation of ID that we are trying to CREATE reasons to fulfill our anxious ‘urges’ and adoration of ‘sublimes’ in the conscious of ego. Could it be that the only truly applicable super ego governing the behavior of mankind (that it not be that of animal) is the qualities of the one religion which does not tolerate the slightest moral skepticism?

Male domination, sexism, rape cases, depreciation of women and degeneration of moral values are just some out of many aftermaths of western hegemony. It is by denying the cause of all this to be the malpractices of westernization, that worsens the case. It is by providing other ‘logical’ reasons to cover up for what westernization does (such commercialization of women) that the problem remains uncurbed. It is by replacing God’s words with man-made laws that the problem even exists.

God bless men and women, Muslims or non-Muslims, who still abide to the Golden Laws.

The higher logics.

While reading through the book of dream interpretation written by Sigmund Freud, I discovered a very controversial quote which says;” It would be an error to suppose that the theory of the supernatural origin of dreams lacks followers even in our own times; for quite apart from pietistic and mystical writers -- who cling, as they are perfectly justified in doing, to the remnants of the once predominant realm of the supernatural until these remnants have been swept away by scientific explanation -- we not infrequently find that quite intelligent persons, who in other respects are averse to anything of a romantic nature, go so far as to base their religious belief in the existence and co-operation of superhuman spiritual powers on the inexplicable nature of the phenomena of dreams (Haffner).” This statement implies that superhuman and spiritual entities which predominate the faculty of human belief are merely fictions of elders who insisted on having explanations to feed the ever inquisitive nature of youngsters while the science of this ‘mature’ millennium generation is the beacon.

If this statement is taken to be true and believed by majority, it would be a knowledge. But that is truly impossible considering the epistemological flaw in philosophy. Philosophy indirectly suggest that by being the hybrid of truth and belief, knowledge is superior to both. But even knowledge by way of scientific methods, that is, has its degree of truthfulness. How can humans be sure that a knowledge is true when they are prone of making mistakes through weaknesses, the same reason why hypothesis was invented in science and hence; the challenging of it. How can materialists be sure that a knowledge is fit for belief without ‘leaning’ it on a certain guidelines, known since long as had descended from a divine source. Out of many reasons why a specialist in a certain field of study has to complete the circle of the particular field and actively contributes to this field later on is to avoid coining new terms explaining same phenomena all over again. Our incapability as humans to holistically examine a phenomenon after connecting its counterparts together-somewhat like a puzzle-and our laggard development in collecting the missing pieces cause our scientific explanations to be devastatingly temporary and hence our belief -if based on science- be rendered plastic.

That is why the concept of tabula rasa is wrong and the debate of nurture against nature is petty; because almost a must that human beings and the entire universe which exist serving purposes be equipped with a pre-program marking the axis of significance of life. It is therefore; right to only say that scientific knowledge is nothing more than a tool to determine which spiritual belief suits the very nature of mankind best and not to substitute belief itself for too feeble is science to displace mighty belief sustaining the existence of proper moral values, ethics and ethos. This is exactly what was revealed by the virtue of God’s Messengers.

This higher logic of the truth of spiritual entity and the belief it deserves makes our logic of the lower incapable of challenging it. The motivation and determination of people refusing to give up faith will always succeed revealing foolishness of materialists like how the ‘Big Bang’ erased the theory of static universe from existence.

26 November 2008, spitfires.

DYM Raja Nazrin is pushing for Monarchs' immunity, PAS shall name their first success in Shah Alam as to be able to limit liquor business, Anwar says that it will not get worse, DAP says that PAS needs some arrogance management and Wanita UMNO is on a tough ride. Isn't it grand, because never in this short life history of mine, which I share with the rest of other young Malaysians which so happen to be the only rest after the time of DYM Raja Nazrin, Anwar and Rafidah Aziz, did Malaysians get so critical about Malaysia. This has got one way to go and one way only.

If this is going down, why bother, because these numero unos got their own God-forsaken agendas at best (except Tun because he's doing charity, if you think about it). We might as well be writing novels than wasting keystrokes. Get in, get out. Get it? At least for me, that's not an option, because I'm not thinking about spending my time here any longer than until my contracts expire. I don't know about you.

But you can be God-damned sure that it's the option taken by those wasted youngsters doing illegal racing and drugs and they are many. You can be God-damned sure that those culprits who would love to see the Malaysia which got this far, rot, (Ivy Josiah etc.) will work their guts out just so that it be. The later is why I and many other concerned individuals (not saying that I'm any better than you) gave up on explaining about history and how history repeats itself, to the mass majority.

Today, I received an e-mail invitation to join UMNO Club Germany and I am more than pleased to do so. I'm very sure that it was sent to all of us. But thinking about what's happening in Malaysia gives me the constant unpleasant feeling, the kind of feeling you get having bitter pill bits stuck in between your teeth. For the love of God, tomorrow's generation and generations to come are not 'cleaners'!

If this is heading upwards, and I don't see how, the tensions which are now growing, would develop battle-hardened groups of 'malignant' thugs, metastasising their corrupted ideologies and at the end of the day, there will be nothing left to loot. That time, the culprits call age of freedom, that time we call hell on earth. You want to know it, look around.

At this moment, more than anything, we need the world to know us like how they've come to know our other Asian neighbours, take Singapore for example.

Because when we're done quarrelling, what's left of the world's wealth for us worth nothing more than any other leftovers. Then, we can scavenge.

Godspeed.

Owh the place these people go...

Let us not try to justify the rights or the wrongs of options, few in number. After all, rights and wrongs are one-sided. It sides the story teller; the winner. Because a matter is indefinitely right or wrong before its outcomes, the question of what SHOULD be put to motion and the weighing of RICH options are more eminent.


Many’s the time when the richness of options precedes the richness of justifications of options, the right options being put to motion result in ‘predicaments’. What should be meant by ‘predicaments’, in politics (Malaysian politics, at least)? Momentary confusions which do not add up to what should rightfully be? Here’s what it is:

1) ‘The arrest of a tuition teacher at Esplanade of Georgetown’. The headline reads somewhat like that. What a good skimmer wouldn’t know is the fact that she is the organizer. And how would her students / other teachers, nationwide, think had she not been arrested?

2) Abu Zahar’s remark about Malaysian-Bar-for-hire playing politician. Islam and the special rights of Malay are somehow entangled together in the Constitution. You want to know it, your forefathers signed it.

"Would that he had been able to endure prosperity with greater self-control and adversity with more fortitude!"

How about "Would that WE had been able to endure prosperity with greater self-control and adversity with more fortitude!", for a change?

As long as we go through these predicaments like concern citizens (unlike Ivy Josiah or Lee Wei San, a self-proclaimed anarchist), we would never have to use the term ‘Would that’. :)

MAJLIS FATWA KEBANGSAAN, ‘PENGKID’ MUSLIMAHS AND ...

#%^&*(2@...

We’ve heard Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan’s Ruling several days ago. We’ve even heard the voices of non-Muslim Malaysians (let us bare this in mind), condemning the Fatwa rather enthusiastically, although many Muslim Malaysians still couldn’t figure out why in God’s name did it happen so.

Who are ‘we’? That’s the fundamental question. Are ‘we’ Malaysians as in ‘Malaysians’ Malaysia’ who took the oath of ‘Rukun Negara’, crossed our heart and hope to die if we happen to defy ‘Kedaulatan Undang-undang’ and those other principles, who respect religious freedom and value good deeds? Are we members of The New Coalition who fight for justice, who speak out against corruptions even if it means ISA and preach a better Malaysia by method of ridding corruptions and those corrupted?

At this very moment, it is convincing that we are none of those stated above. Why now, would the Chinese and Indians (some) work hand in hand to condemn Majlis Fatwa’s ruling, amidst of all the political and financial crises in Malaysia, and why this issue? Christians would agree to the notion that men should remain as men and women should remain as women. That’s two against one, Westernization!

Indeed, this newborn axis was meant to severe the pain of the already ailing Malaysia. The people of this axis are neither Malaysians nor members of The New Coalition because then, they would know about article 153 of the Constitution better than anyone. And the leaders of The New Coalition, Muslims especially; the test of time would determine whether you are worthy of protecting your own religion and standing up for it through hard times, or should I say; at times such when people start calling your Fatwa, stupid. Hide behind your ignorance and you shall suffer consequences.

THE FROG PRINCE (KEANE).

An old fairytale told me
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres our heroes

Then you'll shake
Your fist at the sky
"Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?"

All promises broken
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I'd sooner lose it than still live in it alone

You were our golden child
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know

Soon, someone will put a spell on you
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That's when

Your prince's crown
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You've wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cos now we all know.

New found glory between transitions.
Viva la Malaysia.
