All Out War The Only Answer

Hantu Laut

Almost every day cases of rape, snatch thief, murder and robbery are reported in this country.Surely, there must be many more unreported cases. What was reported could just be the tip of the iceberg. Some, as young as toddler, had become victims to the heinous crime of rape.

Surely, the police must have seen the statistics of the increasing number of crimes committed in this country. Of course, we don't expect the police to be everywhere all the times but concerted effort seems to be lacking in policing crime prone areas. There also seems to be lack of dedication on the part of the police to declare an all out war on crimes and criminals.

It's about time the IGP have a thorough spring cleaning of the force. I am sure there are still good and dedicated policemen who if given half the chance can do a better job than some of the dead woods who head the police districts.

The police performance should be measured by the level of crimes in their areas.Those that can maintain low level of crime and criminal activities in their jurisdiction should get priority for promotion and those who are abysmal in their work should be considered for demotion or place in cold storage until they pull up their socks.

Unless, the entire police force go through a major overhaul, strict and stringent code of conduct put in place, the situation is going to get worse and Malaysians will spent sleepless nights not knowing when they are going to be the next victim of crime.

Guilty By Association ?

Hantu Laut

If your brother is a thief are you guilty by association?
If your brother is a murderer are you guilty by association?
If your sister is an adulteress are you guilty by association?
If your sister is a prostitute are you guilty by association?
If your close friend is a drug addict are you guilty by association?
If you close friend is corrupted are you guilty by association?

It can happen to anyone, anytime, that someone close to you committed terrible crime and your immediate reaction, whether guilty or not, to try help your loved ones and those close to you.

Only those in Pakatan and their supporters are overtly sancimonious and of high morals. Other are pariahs.

A religious man said to a whore, 'You're drunk,
Caught every moment in a different snare'
She replied, 'Oh Shaikh, I am what you say,
Are you what you seem ?'

Pakatan Men A Disgrace ?

Pakatan men a disgrace

KUALA LUMPUR: The Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen responsible for the fracas at the Perak assembly should be ashamed of themselves as their behaviour was disgraceful and disrespectful to the people, the monarchy and the country.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said their behaviour was annoying and that this was not the first time they had acted this way.

"They don't respect the institution, the assembly and the Raja Muda (Raja Muda of Perak Raja Dr Nazrin Shah).


"They are bad examples and Malaysians can judge for themselves how the opposition behaved," Muhyiddin said after launching the Malaysian Cocoa Fair 2009.

Muhyiddin, who is also education minister, said the Pakatan assemblymen did not respect democracy and did not observe basic decorum.
"They are un-Malaysian and have no respect to the regent who had to wait for six hours.

"If they have any issues to raise, do so within limits and respect the law and the Constitution."

Perak Crisis: Fame And Infamy

Hantu Laut

Some people just don't get it.

The Pakatan government of Perak or should I say the DAP government seems to have plenty of recalcitrants.As stubborn as a mule.


From the menteri besar, appointed to be one because the Perak State Constitution says The MB must be Malay and a Muslim. Otherwise, the MB would be from DAP, because as a single entity they have the biggest number of seats . Naturally, they would want the MB post. If that was the scenario than we would have two states under DAP control.

Perak is actually under their control and MB Nizar or ex-MB rather, is under their patronage, a stoker of some kind if not a stooge.He has successfully stoked the fire of discontent.


Ousted Speaker Sivakumar insisted that he still holds office, he has God-given immunity against being sacked.He can make decision to do anything in the assembly and no court can question him and make judgement against his decision.He is the all mighty in the Perak State Assembly.

Article 72.1 of the Federal Constitution says "The validity of any proceedings in the Legislative Assembly of any State shall not be questioned in any court". Was his bias, partial and arbitrary action comes under the purview of this article?


Once believed there existed a body of ideal rules against which man-made laws including parliamentary enactments and decisions could be tested. These were described as natural law, natural justice or equity – thought to be of divine origin.

The rights of a person to be tried by an impartial judge and to be heard in his defence –were thought to be fundamental elements of this divine, unchangeable order. Coke CJ in DR.Bonham’s case (1610) said: Even an Act of Parliament could be declared invalid by the courts if it offended “common right and reason” by making a man judge in his own cause. A century later in DR. Bentley’s case (1723) –court pointed out that even God himself did not pass sentence upon Adam before he was called to make his defence. Later –when things became more secular the notion of procedural fairness was already deeply rooted –its procedural requirements –remained something which the superior courts assumed should be complied with by interior bodies entrusted with judicial and now quasi-judicial bodies.

We all know a mule's mother is a horse and the father a donkey.
