raja petra on sedition charge.....

Is our country being run by mafia? It sure looks like it given the handling of recent events by the administration. As long as you are from within the family, you will be protected from the law.

I have read through 'Let's send Altantuya's murderers to hell' numerous times and what i read is a recollection of events that had transpired from the proceedings of the mentioned case by the prosecutors. All these reports were carried by the local main stream medias.

Perhaps RPK's claim of a political persecution is true given the events that leads to this sedition charge against him. It doesnt take a genius to figure out who is behind all this episode. And RPK made the right choice to check himself into Hotel Sg Buloh as it is safer for him to remain there. Remember C4?

However, if you look at the bigger picture, there is something fishy going on within the administration. First, we have our PM committing himself to reforms and everytime he does that, we will have someone from within his administration doing the opposite. Coincidence? Or an act of sabotage?

Just my 2 cents thought..

PR solution for fuel price 'simplistic' ...

'Simplistic' for pea brain like Khairy and Shahrir together with their brainless umnoputras to undertsand. Perhaps they should enlighten us on how our government revenues in form of taxes and petrodollar was spent for the past decades. Still the general rakyat have to be burdened by tolls, other forms of added taxes and soon for the so called unhalal halal charges..

If only the umnoputras can stop all the corruption behind all the mega projects and NEP, everything is possible. NEP brings about inflated prices for goods and machineries that our government has been paying for the past 3 decades. This has been the BN's way of channelling revenues to line their own pockets.

So you cowards, stop mislead and insult the rakyat as the rakyat has matured beyond your lies. You may succeed in tricking a few but i can assure you that it wont be long when all the rakyat will come screaming for your throat.

If you cant do the job, why not step aside and let others take over? It doesnt need an expert to do a simple job like this. Even a moron can run this government better. So where does this place you guys? Just beyond words... That's how bad you all have put yourself into.

towering malays... umno's version

NEP

CRONY

NEPOTISM

CORRUPTION

LIES-SCANDALS

PROTECTIONISM

UNLAWFULLNESS

This is the true structural foundation of umno's towering malays. This tower could rise higher than the KL Tower if i were to continue the list. This is the Malaysia's silent majority dilemma.

of balkis, pbt and desperate housewives..

Credibility? Integrity? What credibility and integrity are we talking about here? The manner and timing of which Balkis and PBT were dissolved with its funds been transferred out is malicious (an act out of bad faith) in nature. And these actions, without doubt, will place integrity and credibility in the realm of suspicion.

First, those desperate housewives have to re-examine the roles and functions of their respective organization as defined in the Memorandum of Association when it was registered. And then they have to access their roles and duties in running the organization to see whether they have performed well within the context of the article.

I would also encourage those desperate housewives to allow transparency by opening up the minutes and accounts for an independent audit. This will lead to accountability in the running of the organization and the restoration of their integrity and credibility.

The call for a public debate is unnecessary as it is politically driven. Any call that is political driven is deem to be a call out of bad faith. Be it for publicity or otherwise.

Just open up the books within 24 hours and send an invitation for an independent audit. If not, take the case to court of law but make sure you clean up your dirty linens first. Perhaps, the state government should initiate the move to have your minutes and accounts examine for abuse of funds and positions, whichever way you prefer...

Anwar - 100 most influential personality by TIME magazine...

Anwar’s citation was penned by Paul Wolfowitz, the former US Deputy Secretary of Defence. This is what he wrote:

"During the 1990s, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and a group of US Senators organised a forum to exchange views among East Asians and Americans. Asked at one session about the role of Islam in politics, Anwar replied, 'I have no use for governments which call themselves Islamic and then deny basic rights to half their population.'

"This devout Muslim leader was an impressive and eloquent advocate of tolerance, democracy and human rights. So we were shocked by his arrest and trial in 1998 on charges of corruption and sodomy. I felt his real 'crime' had been to challenge Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, whose impressive record will be forever stained by his treatment of Anwar.

"I joined Senator Sam Nunn and others to speak out in Anwar's defence. When he was finally released from prison in 2004, US policy on Iraq was unpopular in Malaysia, and Anwar was harshly critical. It would have been easy for him to disown our friendship, but he is not that kind of person. He kept the channels of dialogue open, even while making clear our disagreements.

"Anwar, 60, is back in the centre of Malaysian politics. The coalition led by his wife Wan Azizah has become the main Opposition bloc. His future role can be determined only by Malaysians. One can hope that they will embrace his brand of tolerance, valuing dialogue across political differences, and that this courageous leader will continue to play a leading role on the world stage."

This recognition for Anwar comes at a time when he is still trying to stabilise the alliance between the DAP, PKR and Pas, and find a place for himself in the new political landscape of Malaysia. He was barred from contesting the election on March 8 because his conviction for abuse of power.

Over the years, Anwar has tried to fight off claims that he is a stooge of the United States and the West. That was one of the main planks in Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s attack on Anwar after sacking him from government and Umno in 1998. More recently, Anwar has had to defend his ties with Wolfowitz, who resigned as the head of the World Bank in shame and is viewed as one of the hawks in the Bush administration which encouraged the US to invade Iraq in 2003.

Still, Anwar’s inclusion in the top 100 list shows how far he has managed to rehabilitate his reputation since his conviction on sodomy was overturned by the Federal Court in 2004. In Malaysia, he has been touted as the prime minister-in-waiting and abroad Anwar has recaptured the media headlines.

A recognition well deserved, to a man who fearlessly stood up for the silent majority and gave Malaysians a dream they dare to dream now.. The dream of a new era.. where people strive together as one Malaysian race for the country and different races shall be confined to traditions and cultures. These were the treasures unique to our country which were manipulated close to extinction by selfish people who cares about nothing except power and money. They are the destroyer of everything. Open up your eyes and look around. It is visible at every corner.

Take a look at what they have done to their own ethnic race.. So supreme materially but at the expense of a strong foundation of humanity, conscience, credibilty, integrity, intelligence, wisdom and the list goes on and on.

It is time to take over the government. So far till now, there is no sign that any changes is going to take place. Umno is still stuck with their outdated propaganda. Time is against our country. We cant afford to wait anymore.

Over to you.. Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat.

secrets of love

The first secret: the power of love.

Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think. Loving thoughts create loving experiences and loving relationships. Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts about ourselves and others. If we want to love someone, we need to consider their needs and desires. Thinking about your ideal partner will help recognize him or her when you meet.

The second secret: the power of respect.

You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them. The first person you need to respect is yourself. To begin to gain self-respect ask yourself, "What do I respect about myself? " To gain respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask yourself, "What do I respect about them?"

The third secret: the power of giving.

If you want to receive love, all you have to do is give it! The more love you give, the more you will receive. To love is to give of yourself, freely and unconditionally. Practice random acts of kindness. The secret formula of a happy, lifelong relationship is to always focus on what you can give instead of you can take.

The fourth secret: the power of friendship.

To find true love you must first find a true friend. To love someone completely you must love them for who they are not what they look like. Friendship is the soil through which love's seeds grow. If you want to bring love into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.

The fifth secret: the power of touch.

Touch is one of the most powerful expressions of love, breaking down barriers and bonding relationships. Touch changes our physical and emotional states and makes us more receptive to love.

The sixth secret: the power of letting go.

If you love something, let it be free. Even in a loving relationship, people need their space. If we want to learn to love, we must first learn to forgive and let go of past hurts and grievances. Love means letting go of our fears, prejudices, egos and conditions.

The seventh secret: the power of communication.

To love someone is to communicate with them. Let the people you love know; that you love and appreciate them. Never be afraid to say, "I love you." Never let an opportunity pass to praise and acknowledge someone. Always leave someone you love with a loving word ... it could be the last time you see them.

The eighth secret: the power of commitment.

If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed to it. Commitment is the true test of love. If you want to have loving relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships. When you are committed to someone or something, quitting is never an option. Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strong, loving one.

The ninth secret: the power of passion.

Passion ignites love and keeps it alive. Lasting passion does not come through physical attraction alone. It comes from deep commitment, enthusiasm, interest and excitement. The essence of love and happiness are the same, all we need to do is to live each day with passion.

The tenth secret: the power of trust.

You cannot love someone completely unless you trust them completely. Act as if your relationship with the person you love will never end. Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Trust yourself, trust others and trust the world. It is the foundation for LOVE.

love for a reason, a season... or a lifetime?

I love you more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow. The ability to fall in love over and over, with the same person is the secret of a lasting and strong relationship. Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like a violin.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON. . . It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend, and they are!

They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

Then when people come into your life for a SEASON.

Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.

Believe it! It is real! But, it’s only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life.
