Hisham! What Crime Has Mat Sabu Committed?
Hishammuddin Onn, keeper of the Grand Duchy said it is up to the AG (Attorney General) to charge or not to charge Mat Sabu here and also signifies that the ISA would not be used, not yet anyway, against Mat Sabu here. Which means he is keeping his option open in the event the AG couldn't find appropriate section of the law to charge poor Mat Sabu for expressing his unworldly opinion.
Hishammuddin said there were other laws available that could be applied towards Mat Sabu’s alleged remarks, but did not specifically identify the offence the opposition leader may have committed.
I wonder which law Mat Sabu has broken for the Minister to even dare broach the idea of charging him? Are we really running out of the right to free speech? It is his opinion and as ridiculous as it may sound I do not think he has broken any law.
Malaysia do not have any anti-denial law like those passed in Germany and a number of European countries making it a criminal offence to deny that the "Holocaust" ever happened. Many historians are critical and against the law which they claimed suppressed the universal right to free speech.Most holocaust deniers perceived the 'Holocaust' as a Jewish conspiracy to advance Jewish interest at the expense of other people.
Is Mat Sabu a denier, a historical revisionist or a shit-stirrer? I am not sure which section of the law is applicable for dealing with buffoonery? I would say something laughable rather than an offence.
You can criticise, condemn, ridicule or poke fun at Mat Sabu but to charge him with an offence for saying the attackers of Bukit Kepong were the real heroes (which I disagree in my earlier posting) is totally absurd.
I'll be surprised if the AG would have the conscience to charge him.I'll be even more sorry for UMNO if the Home Minister decide to use the ISA on him.

9/11: The Day The Towers Fell
New 9/11 Tapes Released Days Before Tenth Anniversary Of Attacks
Only days before the United States marks the tenth anniversary of the horrifying 9/11 attacks, we’re hearing, for the first time, the full audio recordings of communications between military and civilian air traffic controllers on that fateful day.
The multimedia document, published by the Rutgers Law Review, provides a rare look at how government agencies responded -- blow-by-blow -- to the hijacking of the four planes as the drama was actually unfolding, according to ABC News, which played the tapes on Good Morning America on Thursday.

"We have a problem here. We have hijacked aircraft headed towards New York and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up here to help us out," a worker at Boston Center's Traffic Management Unit said at 8:37 a.m., according to the tapes.Read more.

Remembering 9/11: 100 Muslims For Every American

The war criminal George W. Bush embraces firefighter Bob Beckwith while standing in front of the collapsed World Trade …
Hantu Laut
I was out in town when my daughter called me on my cellphone and told me a plane had crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Centre (WTC) in New York.
She was watching CNN live broadcast of the incident which many people initially thought was an accident.
I told her that it was not possible as the WTC was nowhere near any commercial flight path, it could be a private plane.She responded in the negative saying it was an American Airline plane.She said she would call me back when she gets clearer picture.
About 20 minutes later she called me back and said another plane has struck the other tower.It suddenly dawn on me this could be no accident.Two commercial planes can't possibly strayed off their flight path and crashed into the same building.
My daughter who studied in the US and lived there for almost ten years had finally come home for good.
When I got home I was in utter disbelief looking at the chaos and horrifying scenes on TV. The inferno, people jumping out of the burning buildings, fire trucks and firemen rushing all over the place, people running away from the scene of the disaster and the eventual collapse of the two towers that reminded me of the movie "Towering Inferno".Both towers came down in less than two hours.
Remembering 9/11, the 10th anniversary of the terrorists attack on U.S soil, planned and executed with military precision.Two commercial jets hit the WTC towers, one hit the Pentagon and another one crashed when passengers tried to retake the plane from the hijackers.
Did the U.S government have prior knowledge of the impending attack and chose to ignore it, or were they complicit in the heinous attack or as they claimed were they really caught off guard?
For the second time, the U.S. was fooled into complacency that no foreign forces can or would dare attack America on American soil, Pearl Harbour was a distant memory.
Do you have any doubts who were really responsible for the attack and collapse of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre (WTC). After looking at the video of the collapse which looked more like controlled demolition I can understand the rise of conspiracy theories amongst the hard-nosed skeptics ? Three high rise buildings that came down in the same manner within less than two hours of the inferno are foods for skepticism .Can such coincidence be so naturally orchestrated? As far-fetched as it sounds, there have been many conspiracy theories going round implicating the US government involvement in the attacks on the WTC in New York on Sept 11 2001.
More and more conspiracy theories are coming out of the woodwork.Former Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohammad has revitalised his belief here of the conspiracy .......the likelihood of US government's complicity in the 911 terrorists attack.
Both cities, New York and Washington are on high alert to prepare themselves in the event of an attack by Al-Qaeda, the same terrorists organisation accused of bringing down the WTC Towers.
Will the terrorists outsmart the US government by diverting attention and it neglecting security at other US cities.
Los Angeles,Chicago,Boston,San Francisco and many more could be the unguarded goal posts and targets for terrorists attacks.
Below are collection of videos and stories of the 911 tragedy.
9/11, Ten Years Later
9/11 Remembered911 Truth Movement
America would continue to overwhelm the world with its military might, bombing so-called terrorist targets indiscriminately inflicting collateral damage.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, there have been 100 Muslims killed by the US. and her Western allies for every American that died in 9/11.
Who remembers them?
The power of the Western media is as powerful as its military might.Remembering 9/11 are being splashed around the globe in every major newspapers, TV networks and the Internet.
The Muslim world is limp and still.

Sime Darby's E&O bid poses policy dilemma
Hantu Laut Sime Darby is short of 3% triggering the takeover threshold.A general offer would cost Sime additional funds of over MR2.0 billion assuming full acceptance by all shareholders. Can the minority shareholders push for a general offer? As it is Sime do not have to make the general offer.The Malaysian Takeover Code is available here. The ball is now at the feet of the SC Chairman. The Securities Commission is now under the watchful eyes of many vested interests. Look like Sime has not learned from past mistakes.

The plot tickens and all the attention is on the SC. With the Chairman of the SC being married to the Chairman of E&O, who bought shares of E&O just before the takeover by Sime Darby, making things even more intriguing. It is time for SC's next move, and everybody is watching. From The Straits Times, by Leslie Lopez, September 9, 2011: Sime Darby, Malaysia’s financially bruised plantation-based conglomerate is presenting the country’s securities watchdog agency with an awkward policy dilemma with its acquisition of a 30 per cent interest in public listed property concern Eastern & Oriental (E&O) for RM 766 million. Central to the widening public debate is whether the state-controlled group should be compelled to make a mandatory general offer for the remainder of E&O shares, a deal which could cost an additional RM 2.6 billion. E&O is a property concern with lucrative rights to carry out large reclamation works in the northern island of Penang. Critics of the deal argue that Sime Darby’s purchase of the block from three groups, including Singapore’s GK Goh Holdings, was structured in a way to circumvent the country’s takeover code. But proponents of the transaction insist that Sime Darby was merely opting for a more cautious approach to its investment in E&O, and that a general offer could being the offing in the coming months. In any case, the deal is presenting the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) with a prickly regulatory problem over whether it should force Sime4 Darby to make an immediate general offer in the interest of protecting the rights of minority shareholders.Read more. |
