Malaysia – An Update
It’s only the 2nd week of 2010 and yet Msia is again hot in the middle of a fiasco. We’ve hit international headlines on every level for quite a while now and this year has started of with little difference.
The MACC (Malaysian Anti Corruption Committee Commission) has had its reputation as a supposed ‘neutral’ party shattered. They’re now facing murder charges for the murder of Teoh Beng Hock. Rather than fight the fair fight (but then again everything about this country isn’t fair), the MACC lodge a report against Dr. Pornthip. Dr. Pornthip is definitely more qualified than any of the bozos in this country hands down.
Then we have a flood of letters to the editor and articles which were published in the local newspaper complaining about the island state. The local newspapers were supposed to have been ‘sold’ to other parties who supposedly have no link to the previous owners who were BN, MCA, etc. But from what I see and read, the newspaper remains a tool of executing and inflicting wounds.
The stolen Jet Engines is another laughable occurrence. How can the damned MACC make us believe that only 2 persons stole a pair of jet engines! It is totally absurd. Like how these ppl say it and how I think it. A jet engine is huge and heavy, it is impossible that a businessman and an air-force personnel are able to move them undetected. Maybe these men are descendants of Hercules? The whole army is corrupt along-with the beautiful government who has Najib at the helm. The engines were stolen months ago and it took them about 4 months b4 the army decided to report the theft! Do you turn up at 9.45pm when your flight is clearly at 7.30am?! They’re supposedly to have been sold to a party in Argentina.
Then we have the latest thing which takes the cake and revolves around the word Allah. The Herald used the word Allah and was reprimanded. The court told the Roman Catholic body that they could use it; because of that the government and all the fanatics jump on the band wagon to appeal the decision. Firstly, the government is supposed to be a ‘neutral’ body as well but why are they behaving with such immaturity? Since when was a word sanctioned for only one group’s use? Islam is not the oldest religion in the world. Besides, did anyone know that Hindus and Christians have been using the word Allah way b4 Prophet Muhammad founded Islam?
Those on the bandwagon have done the outright genius thing of torching some churches. I got news that cars who had any Christian decorations like car stickers were badly vandalised in Bangsar. Only one group has put a severed cow’s head on the front of a Hindu Temple alongside the above act. Non-Malays have not gone to splash public areas and mosques with pigs blood so why are they behaving as such? It makes no sense. Plus tonight, all the mosques are holding ceramahs or public talks on the topic.
I do wonder which scapegoat will they select to take the wrap. Personally, I think that a few instigated the whole thing but the real guys will never be sacrificed as they’re too useful. Will ISA apply to these ppl? If no action is taken then it sends a message that it is alright for anyone to desecrate any place of worship.
I would certainly like some explanation as to why the top guy, Najib, used the damned slogan of 1 Malaysia. To many of us, it is not 1 Malaysia but rather 1 Malay(sia) – 1 Religion, 1 People, 1 Race. Do not forget that our last PM, Pak Lah, who’s grandfather was a CHINESE MUSLIM from Hainan Island, China. Few Malays in this country can truly claim they’re pure Malays. In truth, their lineage is one big melting pot. Why is it that this country claims itself to be a democracy and a peaceful multicultural nation BUT discriminates heavily?!
Democracy is dead in Malaysia and will be replaced by dictatorial rule. Msia is now the laughing stock of the world. Many FDIs are reluctant to come into Msia coz of the useless current BN government. They’re heading to Vietnam and even Indonesia which was once shunned but is now rising to the occasion faster than Msia is. Analysts have more confidence in the Rupiah than they do the Ringgit. This country is going to the dogs! Be prepared for a potential May 13.
