The Cabals Of Malaysia

Hantu Laut

boxing
This is the pot that called the kettle black before.Now they are showing their true colour.Bashed its own MP for asking questions.

PKR's YB Nik Nazmi's aide is alleged to have punched PKR's YB Loh Gwo-Burne for asking him questions over the construction of a surau which apparently had no approval from the local council.

PKR which accused UMNO of human right abuses and marginalisation of Indians over demolition of Indian temples before is now doing much better than UMNO to perpetuate 'ketuanan Melayu'.Just bash up anybody including your own party comrade and lawmakers if they dare to ask questions on Malay rights.At least in UMNO the Malays don't beat up their non-Malays elected representatives in the coalition.

Among the 5 states under the oppositions, PKR's Khalid has shown total lack of good governance and is more interested in witch hunting than governing a state.Already embroiled in several controversies, the Menteri Besar of Selangor seems not to have any control over his men.

What can one expect from a party that has a leader who is all for himself,promote himself and his family

Have you ever heard Anwar Ibrahim talk much about his party and his people?It's always him, his family, how he can steal a government and how the BN government conspire to fix him.

Anwar's PKR is still crawling on all fours. They need to learn how to walk properly and certainly need to learn the art of governing before they can look at the bigger picture.

If you can' ride a pony properly how do you expect to ride a stallion?

Buying A Pig In The Poke

Hantu Laut

Let forget about Anwar for a little while and indulge in some of life unpleasant surprises.Sometimes, things don't work out the way you want them to.Sometimes,it your own fault,sometimes it's other people's carelessness and stupidity.Sometimes, you want to get angry and bash up that someone who screw up the normality of your every day existence.

Last night I was getting ready to go to a charity dinner and show.My wife and I always attend the annual charity dinner and show, without fail, every year for the past eight years, for which she was one of the founding members of this very noble organisation that look after people with terminal diseases, particularly cancer.The organisation has grown substantially since its inception and is fully financed by public donations from generous Sabahans.That's not where my problem is.

My problem, which occurred three days ago, without me even knowing it until last night when I wanted to use my newly bought pair of shoes.Taking the pair of shoes out from the shoebox, I couldn't believe my eyes, it's like my vision has gone haywire.I don't know whether to laugh or get angry with that little Malay boy whom I remember served me when I bought the shoes from Parkson at Wawasan Plaza.I feel like running back to the shop and give the chap a good punch on the nose but than time was not on my side because my dinner is about half an hour away and I live about 30 km from town. When I showed the shoes to my wife she had a good laugh and said " You deserve it,maybe your should punch yourself on the nose, not the boy's, because people like you never checked what you bought before you took them home"




I bought the one on the right. I am going back today and hope that little nitwit is working today so I can give him a piece of my mind.

I wonder what would you do if you are from out of town or overseas tourists, got home and find to their horror the grim picture above.Probably have to throw them away.

The gist of the story is never buy a pig in the poke.

UPDATED:

Went back to Parkson, got back the other side and now I have a proper pair of shoes.

The little Malay boy was very apologetic when he saw me.He was wondering why I took 5 days to come back.Since he has apologised I refrained from telling him off.After all we are humans and humans are not infallable, we all can make mistakes.End of story.

Reunited !

What's Wrong With Anwar ?

Hantu Laut

If the appointment of an independent foreign forensic expert is not acceptable to Anwar and he still refuses to accede to such request than the court should compel him to provide samples from him for DNA testing.His fear of not even trusting an independent person or body to conduct the test is a clear sign something is amiss somewhere.

His claims of not trusting the authority now that he has been offered to chose his own expert does not hold water anymore.

Below is the story reported in the Star.

Anwar ‘no’ to foreign forensic expert


 Anwar wants transparency and professionalism

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will not agree to the idea of a foreign forensic expert of his choice to draw a DNA sample from him, said lawyer R. Sivarasa.

“They (the police) fail to understand Anwar’s concern as explained this afternoon. It does not address the possible fabrication of DNA (test results) starting with Saiful (Bukhari Azlan) himself,” he said yesterday.

Stating his case: Anwar during the press conference at his home in Bukit Segambut. With him are his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (right), his daughter Nurul Izzah (standing, left) and one of his lawyers R. Sivarasa (seated on his right). - CHUA KOK HWA / The Star

To a question whether Anwar and his lawyers would consider allowing the international expert to carry out the DNA test, he said they could “start to look at that” as the expert might be able to advise them.

However, he said this would not make a difference if there was a possibility that the samples would be tampered with.

He said they would resist any legal action for Anwar to provide a DNA sample because the law does not provide for it.

At his press conference earlier, Anwar had said that if there was “compelling evidence one, two, three and four which needs an international expert,” then he would be willing to submit to DNA testing.

Of course the diehard Anwar's fans would continue to live in denial.

What transparency and professionalism is he talking about? What else he expects the government to do?

I am sure he prefers to go to prison rather than giving his blood for DNA testing. Than the truth will never be known.

Sodomy: What Is It ?

Hantu Laut

Sodomy is not only outlawed in Malaysia, many other countries including our neighbour down south have tough law on sodomy.

There is no federal law on sodomy in the U.S.Such law comes under the purview of the states some of which have very tough law.


Sodomy: What Is It?

Sodomy is most commonly legally defined as any contact between the genitals of one person, and the mouth or anus of another. The word has its origins in Christianity. It is sometimes used to mean sexual deviation, though in legal contexts it is defined as above. Throughout history, "sodomites," mostly male homosexuals and bestialists, have been punished by a largely theocratically controlled government, in hopes of stamping out "ungodly practices" that might bring divine retribution against Christian society. In medieval Europe, intercourse between a male field worker and a noble woman was legally considered "sodomy," as it was thought to cause a poor harvest. The history of the concept of sodomy is tied to the Church in most every case.

Currently, there is no federal sodomy law, though some federal land falls under maritime jurisdiction, which may have sanctions in some cases. 25 states do not have sodomy laws. 5 states have laws pertaining to homosexual sodomy only, and the remaining 20 states, plus the District of Columbia, have laws covering all sodomy, even between heterosexuals.
