Hantu Laut
In the first place who gave her the authority to speak out on the issue? As a political secretary what's her locus standi on palace matters?
It's a great embarrassment for the Selangor government, which has given proof that they have no idea how to run a government.
Arrogance have gotten into their head, so much so, they failed to observe protocol.
What is Khalid Ibrahim doing asking his political secretary to make such ludicrous and absurd statement blaming the palace for not asking to be invited.
Nobody, who has sense of shame, would asked to be invited, even to a friend's party. If you don't get an invite from your friend means you are not liked and the person is not a friend.
It shows Khalid is as dumb, if not dumber, than his political secretary, who has added insult to injury, which may further enrage the Sultan.
The right person who should clear the air and apologise to the Sultan is the STATE SECRETARY and the MENTERI BESAR himself.
Read what the political secretary said of the Sultan here.
Khalid stop making excuses, just go eat humble pie and apologise to the Sultan for the oversight and sack your political secretary immediately or if she received instruction from you, sack yourself.
To err is human, to forgive divine. The Sultan may forgive you for your stupidity.

Judging The Judge: Deft Or Dumb ?
Hantu Laut
To err is human, judges can make mistakes, but the uproar against the judgement of two recent cases of statutory rapes is politically motivated, rather than concern for the law and the victims.
This country's politics has become the most bastardised in the region by one man's insatiable greed for power. Even the country's judges are not spared from politics, which leaves them opened to contempt.
Suddenly, every NGOs jumped on the band wagon to ridicule judges' decision on cases only peculiar to the judges and not the men in the streets.
True, the sentence must reflect the crime but there might have been extenuating circumstances that have caused the judge to consider a seemingly lighter sentence.
If one has an open mind and not become what the Malay called "Pak Turut"(follow blindly) the sentence passed by the judges is not as light as what the detractors made out to be.
In the case of national bowler Nor Afizal, the bound over sentence does not mean he gets off scot-free, a probationary period is attached to the sentence for good behaviour and should he during that period commits an offence he would face a tougher sentence for the new and initial offence. The judges also found there was no coercion, violence, brutality and the act was consensual, therefore, the non-custodial sentence. The Court of Appeal judges took upon themselves to alleviate the sentence.
In every profession there are those promoted to a "level of incompetence" and judiciary all over the world would have some sitting on the bench.
Judges are human, they are not infallible, they can make mistakes. To err is human, to forgive divine. There is no point to continue disparaging the judges, let the law takes its course.
For the Malaysian judges who passed the judgement I salute them, they have shown they are humans and no lives have been destroyed on both sides.

Sultan Redundancy:Malaysia's First Step To A Republic ?
Hantu Laut
What has been said before by certain quarters that Malaysia under Pakatan may see the country moving toward becoming a republic was dismissed by Pakatan leaders as absolute nonsense.
When a state ignored its sultan to grace an important state function, it's a clear sign that the government is showing disrespect to the sultan as head of state.
Homage, was instead accorded to Anwar Ibrahim who has no high-ranking status in Selangor.
The Menteri Besar of Selangor Khalid Ibrahim should resign his position for showing disrespect and redundancy of the Sultan status as head of state.
The Sultan has expressed his displeasure.

Selangor Sultan questions state invite to Anwar for N-Day celeb
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 — The Sultan of Selangor has questioned the state’s decision to invite Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to grace an official National Day celebration last week, a Malay daily reported today as controversy grows over the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) government’s treatment of the palace.
“His Royal Highness the Sultan finds it strange that in such a programme, Anwar, who is not part of the state government’s top leadership, was the guest-of-honour.
“The PKR Opposition Leader also does not hold any official portfolio, except as the appointed State Economic Adviser,” Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani, who is private secretary to Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, was reported by Sinar Harian as saying.
“The convention is that if His Royal Highness is unable to attend the state government’s official programmes, the Mentri Besar replaces the Sultan to give speeches and so on. But, why was Anwar invited and gave a speech, when this was an official programme, not a political programme?” the palace official told the Malay daily.
Mohamad was previously reported as saying that the Selangor Sultan was not invited or informed of the state-level celebrations.
“Maybe the people will wonder why in an official programme, the Sultan did not appear, but Anwar became the guest of honor and came forward to speak,” he was quoted as saying.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had yesterday castigated the PR-led Selangor government for shutting out the state Ruler from its official National Day celebrations at Dataran Shah Alam last Thursday, suggesting that it placed greater importance on Anwar(picture) who was only an economic adviser than the monarch.

Hudud: Stay With The Devil You Know !
Hantu Laut
There is a pretty widespread belief that this country is in a mess and is an epitome of corruption, incompetence and a skewed political system favouring the Malays.
If you are Pakatan Rakyat supporters that would be your central thesis of the current government, true or false, it does not matter, you mind are made up that it's time for change.
The irony is Pakatan leaders pick and choose which part of the Constitution they cast their net on and demand its as their absolute rights and condemned those they can use to demonise the government as though the Constitution was written by the sitting government.
If you respect the Constitution and demand your rights prescribed therein than you must respect every parts of it.
While they demand their rights under Article 10 for freedom to assemble they demeaned and demanded removal of Article 153 that prescribed certain rights/privileges for Malays/bumiputras.
Pakatan Rakyat, a coalition of strange bedfellows, is in a "STATE OF CONFUSION." There is PAS on one side wanting to implement "hudud" and DAP on the other side demanding secularism and PKR caught in the middle not making any strong commitment whose side they are on.
Can these bunch of strange bedfellows be trusted to govern the country or would they be bogged down with infighting at the expense of the people and nation?
DAP and PAS have nothing in common other than one wanting to push the formation of an Islamic regime and DAP pushing for greater Chinese involvement in governing the country. The other coalition partner, PKR is only interested in making their hairy at the heel de facto leader the prime minister.
Some non-Muslims are beginning to realise that PAS leaders are determined to push their agenda of implementing hudud should Pakatan capture Putrajaya, but majority of non-Muslims still do not understand that hudud, if implemented, would encroach into the areas of non-Muslim personal liberties.They have been brainwashed into believing that hudud would only be executed against Muslims.
If PAS emerged as strong as UMNO had been after conclusion of the next general elections, Islamic jurisprudence would become a reality for all Malaysians. The Malay MPs in PKR, DAP and other parties, being Muslims and to save the embarrassment of being ostracised, would have no choice, but to join PAS and support its agenda.
The Constitution is least of PAS worries.They can use the powers of local and city councils as stepping stone to attain their Islamic objectives.
For a start they can use local and city councils under their control to implement their first version of Islamic jurisprudence.
They can stop issuing liquor licences to pubs, nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, close down entertainment outlets that goes against Islamic values, stop all foreign artists from performing in Malaysia, segregate the sexes in cinemas, restaurants, supermarkets and all other public arenas.
Unless you are married or members of the same family, you are prohibited from sharing the same seats or tables in any public places.
They need not go to parliament to remove these encumbrances to Islamic values.
Most, are already a reality in Kelantan and would be a reality in other states in Malaysia should PAS become the new ketuanan Melayu.
It is common knowledge that PAS youth have been very vocal against what they viewed as vices against Islamic values and have made many attempts to stop what enshrined in the Constitution as personal rights and liberties.
The bigger "HUDUD" would come later when their claws are deeply entrenched in Parliament.
Can DAP stop them as claimed?
Karpal Singh, who is deadly opposed against hudud has uttered that PAS can only do so over his dead body. Will Karpal declare 'jihad' against PAS if they tried to push through hudud in Parliament? Why should PAS care over the death of one infidel.
DAP can only muster, at most, 60 MP seats. The total non-Muslim MPs, between DAP and other parties would not be enough to mount a challenge against all Muslim MPs, including those from Sabah and Sarawak and the few poor UMNO MPs left in the lurch, who would joyfully join PAS to make Malaysia a truly Islamic nation.
PAS would never be able to implement hudud because DAP can stop them from doing so??
Do not underestimate PAS, they have fire in the belly and would try hard to push through their principles.
So! You thing it is not possible that hudud can become a reality?
Dream on, you infidels!
Am I trying to scare you?
No, as a Muslim I may have to accept "hudud" if implemented, but it's you non-Muslim that are going to lose your personal liberties...... your screwing, your drinking, your nighclubbing and your gambling all would be stories of the past.
Here's a wake up call from a youth group not to vote for Pakatan.
SHOULD WE CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE?
Stay with the devil you know.

We are a democracy, you can vote whoever you want to, to govern this country, but it comes with responsibility that the government you chose can govern the country fairly and impartially for all races and religions.
Malaysia is a multiracial and multi-religious country and our Constitution is clear that religion has no part in the administration of the state.
Islam is the official religion of this country and should be respected and should not be challenged as set out in our Constitution. However, Islam should not be used to curtail personal liberties in a multiracial and multi-religious society.

The non-Muslims are made to think that hudud is just about chopping hands and as grotesque as the thinking can be and a dire misconception that only Muslims hands would be chopped off.
Hudud extend to much more than just theft, it covers fornification and adultery, alcoholic intoxication and apostasy. Most, if not all, carry no less than capital punishment.
Say, if a Muslim woman fornicate with a Christian man, under hudud both should be stoned to death.
Would you infidels, in your right mind, see that only the Muslim woman would be stoned to death and the Christian man gets off scot free and become a serial Muslim woman fucker knowing the state will help him to get rid off the woman he had good time with?
Think again !
The bigger "HUDUD" would come later when their claws are deeply entrenched in Parliament.
