Pemutihan of illegal workers? Are we doing the right thing?


It was reported that an Indonesian maid, Ruyati was sentenced to death by beheading in Mecca after confessing to a murder on Saturday, June 18, 2011 . The irony is that no prior notification to the government of Indonesia was given by the Saudi. The body was buried immediately without even notifying Ruyati's family.

Many Indonesians were quick to protest, and even threatened Malaysian tourist for petty issues such as the 'Pendet' dance or Rasa Sayang folk song. Some madmen are even declaring war against Malaysia on overlapping territorial dispute over the Ambalat Sea or on the case of Malaysian fishermen charged with encroaching into the republic’s water.

All this periodic diplomatic spats that range from culture and forest fires to territorial disputes and the treatment of maids culminates when a group of demonstrators threw human faeces at Malaysia’s embassy in Jakarta in August.

Indonesian animosity towards Malaysia has risen to a new level.

Why the deafening silence when Ruyati was beheaded by the Saudis without even giving his family the basic human courtesy?

Why are there no demonstrations in front of the Saudi Embassy in Jakarta?

Why are the Saudi tourist (most are looking for short term marriage in Bogor) are not even threatened in Jakarta?

The simple truth is Indonesian are 'afraid' of the Saudis.

Indonesian workers in Saudi Arabia contribute billions of foreign currency to Indonesia. Indonesian migrant workers remit more than US 7 billion each year into the country. This hard currency lubricates the economy and Indonesian will not react harshly to offend the Saudis.

The Saudis are hard against illegal migrant workers. Long term jail and tortures are common for illegal workers caught and basic human rights are the least of the Saudi's concern. They have to do hard labour to earn their flight ticket back home when released.

What do we do with our illegal workers?

We treat them nicely, and send them back for free but in a few days later they just hop in back again. Periodically the government grant the illegal workers amnesty (pemutihan), with this July 2011 the next one.

Why are we being so nice to the illegal immigrants. The Malaysian government has not made any serious effort to deport illegal migrants nor tackle this thorny issue. Are we going to automatically grant amnesty to robbers, rapist and petty thieves too? The US Government included Malaysia as one of the worst offenders of human trafficking in their blacklist of governments it believes are not doing enough to stop it in their "Trafficking in Persons" report.

Our borders are so porous that illegal immigrants, especially Indonesians can just sneak in and out with ease. They roam our country freely without any concern of Police or Immigration checks.

When was the last time you were stopped at Police or Immigration checkpoints?

Against this background, it is crucial that the first lines of defence, Malaysian borders, are as secure as possible. No point of having the latest biometric fingerprints system at the border checkpoints but leave our border coast line porous.

We are not doing enough to protect ourselves by keeping illegal immigrants and criminals within our borders.

Will the next government tackle this paramount issue first.

Keajaiban Bukit Magnet (Jabal Maghnatis) Madinah

Mungkin ramai yang tidak pernah mendengar Bukit Magnet di Madinah ini. Bagi Jemaah Indonesia Bukit Magnet yang jauhnya 40km dari Madinah adalah satu tempat yang mesti dilawati. Orang Malaysia mengenali tempat ini hanya beberapa tahun yang lepas.

Bagi pakej Haji atau Umrah, lawatan ke Bukut Magnet tidak termasuk didalam lawatan kekawasan kawasan bersejarah disekitar kota Madinah. Jika anda ingin kesana, anda perlu berbincang dengan pemandu bas, dan selalunya tambahan 40 riyal saorang akan dipinta oleh pemandu. Agak mahal saya kira kerana jika satu bas boleh memuatkan 20 jemaah, jumlah nya menjadi 800 riyal untuk kesatu tempat yang hanya 40 km dari Madinah!.

Apa spesial nya Bukit Magnet?

Jabal Maghnatis (bukit magnet) ini ialah satu tempat di mana kereta/bas akan ditarik semula ke Madinah. Apabila sampai ke kawasan ini, kereta akan bergerak sendiri untuk balik ke Madinah. Kekuatan tarikan ini hingga, kelajuan bas atau kereta akan bergerak hingga melebihi 120 km/ jam.

Ini salah satu lagi dari keajaiban kota Madinah. Pada hari Khamis dan Jumaat, orang Arab akan datang ke sini beramai-ramai, membawa keluarga. Mereka akan berkelah di tempat ini. Tempat ini juga merupakan kawasan lapang yang cantik pemandangannya. Terdapat pokok-pokok rimbun yang akan melindungi sesiapa di sini dari terikan matahari.

Apabila engin bas diberhentikan di kawasan tersebut, bas akan meluncur dengan sendirinya saperti ditarik oleh kuasa ghaib sehingga kelajuan 120 km/hr, walaupun jalan nya mendatar. Yang pelik nya sesiapa yang membawa kompas, jarum kompas masih menunjukkan arah utara dan ini bermakna tidak ada tarikan magnetik dikesan (saya menggunakan jam Tissot T Touch yang mempunyai kompas).

Mutawif kami, saorang pelajar Indonesia menceritakan satu cerita mengenai kelebihan dan keanehan Bukit Magnet. Mungkin cerita nya tidak sahih, tetapi terpulanglah jikalau sesiapa ingin mempercayainya.

Semasa peperangan Uhud, Rasulullah saw telah tercedera parah akibat kepintaran Khalid Al walid memerintahkan pemanah orang orang mushrik menawan jabal Uhud. Sahabat sahabat telah mengusung Rasulullah untuk menyelamatkan beliau dan membawa beliau keluar dari Jabal Uhud jauh dari Madinah. Rombongan beliau dikejar oleh tentera berkuda orang Mushrik. Apabila tentera Mushrik sampai dikawasan Bukit magnet, mereka tidak dapat mengejar rombongan Rasulullah saw kerana tarikan magnet yang memperlahankan kelajuan mereka. (Mereka memakai banyak peralatan yang diperbuat dari besi saperti baju perisai dan lain lain).

Itu lah yang diceritakan oleh mutawif Indonesia kepada kami. Orang Arab Madinah ramai yang tidak tahu mengenai Bukit Magnet dan cerita cerita disebaliknya. Rakan saya, saorang Arab penduduk Madinah tercengang apabila saya menceritakan perihal Jabal Maghnatis ini.

Allahualam.


Perjalanan ke Jabal Maghnatis
Ia lebih kurang 40 km dari Madinah
Kereta akan ditarik balik ke Madinah
Pemandagan sekitar kawasan Jabal Maghnatis
Unta-unta yang kadang-kala meluru ke jalan raya

Will the Perak saga end this coming Tuesday 9 February 2010?


Everybody is holding their breath till Tuesday 9 February 2010, when the Federal court declares who is the rightful MB for Perak. There will be two scenarios of what will happen when the court gives their verdict.

Scenario 1 - The Federal court declares Nizar as the rightful MB.

If Nizar is declared as the rightful MB, Zambry has many options to stay in power. He will call an emergency sitting of the Perak Assembly, where Hee Yit Foong, the deputy speaker will chair the sitting to table a motion of no confidence against Nizar and remove him as the legitimate Menteri Besar (They will not use BN assembly speaker Ganesan as he was not lawfully elected). Then Zambry will be re-appointed as the MB again.

Nizar will try to seek audience with the Sultan of Perak on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning and ask the Sultan for the dissolution of the Perak Assembly. He will be hoping and praying that the Sultan is still in Perak during that time. If the Sultan agrees, then we will have an election. If the Sultan does not agree, then Nizar will be thrown out by the motion of no confidence at the Perak Assembly on Wednesday or Thursday.

Scenario 2 - The Federal court declares Zambry as the rightful MB.

Status quo maintains as of now where Zambry will cling to power till the next election.

So folks, whatever way the Federal Court decides, Zambry will still be the MB. Period
.

Saiful and the art of kemut


Saiful claimed in his police report of 28th June 2008, made at Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), that he was sodomised by Anwar on the afternoon of Thursday 26th June 2008 at a condominium in Bukit Damansara. Saiful reported to the hospital on the 28th (over 48 hours later)and strangely our good and efficient Police found Anwar's semen and DNA still in the anus!

Let us assume what Saiful claimed is true. That means he avoided shitting for the two days (farting included) and did not washed his anus nor bathing to avoid spilling/overflowing the semen. As Anwar's semen is the most important evidence to collect DNA, he would have to "kemut" or vacuum-up (sorry, i can't find the right English word for kemut) for two days. He would also have to wear pampers or a tight underwear and not changing it for the two days to avoid spilling the semen.

By the time the doctor swipe his anus to fished for the remaining semen, his anus would have smell so bad and his stools would have harden up and become constipate. That is why he complained to the Burmese Doctor at Pusrawi that he had pain in his anus for a few days and that a “plastic” item had been inserted. The plastic thing is actually his harden stool !!

So folks, after this whole episode is done with, somebody should interview Saiful and learn the art of Kemut from him. It would be a very useful knowledge for our ladies !!

Just my two cents................. Hehe

Isu "Allah" dan kepentingan kepada UMNO, PAS dan PKR


Meluat kita tengok pemimpin PKR dan setengah pemimpin PAS yang menyokong isu Allah diguna pakai oleh orang kristian Malaysia. Mereka langsung tidak melihat isu ini dengan perspektif yang lebih besar dan jauh. Mereka pula menunding jari kepada puak UMNO yang konon-nya mahu isu ini disemarakkan untuk mengalih perhatian orang islam dari isu kenaikan harga gula, minyak dan barangan keperluan yang lain dan selain dari isu isu sediada yang lebih serius.

Rata rata kalau diperhatikan isu penggunaan perkataan 'Allah' ini ditentang oleh sebahagian golongan orang Islam sahaja, tidak kira dari UMNO, PAS atau PKR. Tetapi orang orang bukan Islam maupun kristian, hindu, buddhist, taoist, atheist, penyembah pokok dan lain lain bersepakat dan menyokong pemakaian perkataan 'Allah' oleh Herald. Walaupun mereka bukan practising christian tetapi didalam isu ini mereka semua bersepakat. Kenapa?

Kita lihat apa kata Father Lawrence Andrew, penerbit Herald Tribune:

“We must all realise that this is not an ‘Allah’ issue alone. The ‘Allah’ issue has become the vehicle to ensure that our federal constitution is not buried and Syariah law becomes the law of the country. This is the real danger.”

- Father Lawrence Andrew; Editor, Herald Tribune
17 March 2009; Malaysiakini

Nah, kata kata tersebut cukup merumuskan apa yang tersirat didalam hati mereka. Takkan pemimpin PKR dan PAS masih belum dapat menangkap apa sebenarnya hasrat mereka? Pemimpin PKR dan PAS sebenarnya mengerti dan faham kepentingan isu ini jika tidak ditangani dengan betul, tetapi ada perkara yang lebih penting yang mereka mahukan.

Ya-itu untuk meraih undi sebanyak mungkin dari orang orang bukan islam di Pilihan Raya Umum yang akan datang dan seterusnya berusaha untuk membentuk kerajaan PR menggantikan BN. Jikalau pemimpin Islam PKR dan PAS dilihat sebagai tidak bersetuju dengan pemakaian "Allah' oleh Herald, tentulah sokongan orang Islam terhadap mereka akan melorot dan peluang Anwar Ibrahim sebagai PM dan Lim Kiat Siang sebagai DPM hanya tinggal mimpi disiang hari sahaja.

Kenapa orang bukan Islam menyokong keputusan Hakim Datuk Lau Bee Lan?

Ini kata blogger SatD -

"The case with the Chinese in Malaysia is a bit different: This target group, who are far from poor and therefore do not need any financial motives, conversion tactics are done using bootstrap principles: namely that of dissent towards anything Malay. To the chinese, anything that sounds malay-ish and associated to them is hateful. This has been a main weapon of the missionaries. Thus they would readily welcome any faiths which to them is reminiscent of and symptomatic to the idea of inherent rebellion. Christianity is an outlet for them to show dissent.

The Malaysian Indians, however, have a nobler purpose for conversion. After being in the social quagmire of the caste system for so long, conversion allows some Indians to taste being a notch up in society’s rung of acceptance ladder. In the Abrahamic faiths, one do not need to distinguish one human being from another based on the nature of their births in society. If I were an Indian born in a low caste family, I surely would be inspired by my fellow indians like Father Lawrence Andrew and how high a standing and fully respected he is in society. My twice-tanned skin would turn white with envy! And the name, Look at the name! With this kind of name now instead of some Puthucheary or Tanabalan, tell me if I am not in the same league as Norah Jones, Charles Xavier or James Cameron"

Khalid Samad mengatakan bahawa perkataan Allah telah digunakan oleh orang orang Arab semenjak berkurun lagi tetapi terjemahan GOD didalam bahasa Malaysia ialah TUHAN dan Herald menggunakan Bahasa Malaysia, jadi kenapa mesti memakai perkataan Allah dan bukannya TUHAN? Boleh tak orang kristian menukarkan semua perkataan GOD didalam BIBLE King James's version kepada ALLah. Tentunya orang kristian akan mengatakan blasphemy.

Orang Islam PKR dan PAS menuduh isu ini dipolitikkan oleh UMNO untuk kepentingan mereka. Memang UMNO sebuah parti yang korup, jahil, gila kuasa dan penuh dengan kemaksiatan tetapi adakah sebuah parti alternatif kepimpinan melayu islam, yang kuat, yang boleh mengambil alih teraju pemerintahan negara malaysia, dimana Islam boleh diperkasakan?

Didalam isu "Allah" nampaknya PAS telah diperkudakan oleh golongan sekularis dan liberalis didalam PKR sehingga sanggup menjual prinsip prinsip yang mereka perjuangkan selama ini.

Sekarang ini, belum nampak lagi PAS sebagai satu alternatif kepada UMNO.

Kepada orang Islam yang menyokong penggunaan "Allah" oleh Herald, ingatlah tujuan mereka untuk menggunakan perkataan Allah bukan lah untuk meng-esakan tetapi adalah untuk menyekutukan Allah.

If Isa Samad wins, this will be the beginning of the end for UMNO....

It will be interesting to know who UMNO pick as their candidate for the Bagan Pinang by-election. Will Najib go for a sure win guy or will they pick someone fresh and clean? Considering that Isa Samad is so wildly popular with the UMNO folks in Bagan Pinang, will Najib bend to their wishes?

It is so sad that the UMNO people in Bagan Pinang still chooses someone who's character is tarnished with corruption. If Isa Samad is nominated, this will signal the beginning of the end of UMNO. Isa Samad has been there at the top for so long, and he was within a whisker of winning one of the top post in UMNO and ultimately the post of the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. He had his days, enjoyed all the benefits and now he should retire quietly.

Why would the good UMNO folks in Bagan Pinang still back Isa Samad as a candidate? This is a case of hero worshipping by the local UMNO folks. Hero worshipping is entrenched in the Malay culture. We hero worshiped Dr Mahathir and become blind to his wrong doings. Some hero worshiped Anwar Ibrahim although he did not do much for our country. The Bagan Pinang folks hero worshiped Isa Samad as he is the local warlord and had contribute many a splendid things to them. They still hero worshiped him although he is corrupt and convicted of money politics.

If UMNO chose a fresh face as a candidate, I am sure the local UMNO voters will show their disagreement by voting for the opposition. So what if UMNO loses a by-election? At least it shows Najib as a man of principle and does not kowtow to corruption and money politics.

If Isa Samad is pick and wins, then I am sure in the next by-election, we will hear the name of Rahim Thambi Chik as the next candidate.

Au revoir UMNO.

Selcat dah jadi 'High and Mighty'........




Sibuk sakan media massa BN menceduk air yang keroh. Dr Hassan Ali dituduh dan dicela dengan bermacam macam tohmahan, 'not a team player', the only problem', 'a runaway train' dan 'a loose canon'. Puak puak UMNO dan lain lain yang sekongkol bertalu talu menghentam beliau dan mengambil kesempatan, konon nya kerajaan PR akan tumbang sedikit masa lagi dan Dr Hassan Ali akan ditendang dari exco Kerajaan PR.

Semua cita cita dan harapan mereka berkecai apabila PAS Selangor hari ini memberi komitmen sejati mereka kepada PR.

Apa salahnya Dr Hassan Ali atau sesiapa pun mengkritik Selcat? Selcat bukannya satu badan maksum yang bebas dari kesilapan dan juga bukan satu badan yang ada imuniti, bebas dari kritikan. Selcat bukan dilindungi saperti 'lese majeste law' yang mengharamkan kritikan kepada Raja Thailand.

Selcat dan Kerajaan PR mestilah berhati hati untuk menjaga maruah kakitangan kerajaan di Selangor. Kakitangan Kerajaan lah yang akan menggerakkan semua polisi polisi kerajaan PR di Selangor ini. Apa yang dapat kita lihat sekarang, Selcat sedang berusaha mengorek semua daki daki dan kotoran kotoran yang ditinggalkan oleh Adun Adun BN. Tidak salah usaha usaha begitu kerana rakyat perlu diberitahu tentang hal hal tersebut, tetapi janganlah pegawai pegawai kerajaan dipalitkan dengan kotoran kotoran tersebut.

Kita diberitahu Pegawai pegawai Kerajaan tidak mempersoalkan tatacara penggunaan peruntukkan Adun BN semasa zaman Khir Toyo dahulu. Mereka sebenarnya hanya juru simpan peruntukkan sahaja, dan tugas mereka hanya untuk menyalurkan peruntukkan apabila dokumen dokumen didapati teratur. Mereka masih terikat dengan semua prosidur kewangan sediada dan pihak Audit Negeri akan sentiasa memantau perlaksanaan dan pembelanjaan peruntukkan ini dilaksanakan dengan betul.

Selcat tidak seharusnya menekan pegawai kerajaan kerana keadaan mereka sangat terdesak semasa zaman Khir Toyo dahulu. Memang benar saperti kata mereka " buat salah ,tak buat pun salah.........."(Damned if we do, damned if we don't......)

Kalau PR mahu memerintah Selangor lebih lama lagi, buat baik lah dengan semua pegawai pegawai kerajaan, kerana ianya lebih mendatangkan hikmah dari keburukan. Jangan jadi terlalu sombong dan terasa 'high and mighty' kerana Allah akan menggantikan kamu dengan orang yang lebih baik lagi jika kamu tidak mensyukuri nikmat nya.
