Jerusalem

Yes, you have the guns.
we have the determinations.
Yesterday, we launched a rocket into your garden.
Today, you send your battalion of armies.
Tomorrow, we teach our children to hate each other.
The vicious cycles continues........

Our God is on our side,
Your God is on your side.
We fought for our motherland,
you fought for your fatherland.
What are we fighting for ?
A holy war ?

In the name of our respective God,
We shall fight each other till our last drop of blood.
Our young men shall died a martyr !
Your young men shall died a national hero.

This killings fields,
so many lives has been lost.
Will we ever have beautiful sun shines ?
Will we ever have soothing breeze ?
Will we ever sit on the same bench,
watching the rainbow of hope ?

Dear leaders of Palestinians,
dear leaders of Israelis,
stop the misplaced angers,
stop the animosity,
stop the killing now !

In the name of humanity.
Please, please,
I beg you on my bended knees,
do not invoked the name of your God and patriotisms,
to carryout more misdeeds.

Can't you see your people are suffering ?
Can't you see your people are living in fear ?
Can't you see the hopelessness and despairs in your people ?
How many more lives must be lost,
before sanity prevails ?

Let go your hatreds, Let it go. Let it go.
Set your mind free of angers and revenges.
Let not your people suffered from your insanities.
Value the life of your people as what God intended.
Now, now, cast away your violenced past,
stop the hostilities, stop the kidnappings,
stop the revenges, stop the terror acts.
Speak the language of peace, compassion, and reconciliations.

Give peace a chance.
Give your people a chance to have a peaceful life.......

He wants to be a Malaysian.......

15 years ago, an Australian came to Malaysia to work. He fell in love with the country and apply for a Permanent Resident status 9 years ago. But our immigration department did not even bother to reply him. I guess this is part of the syllabus of our government courteousy campaign. Since then, he has to apply for visa renewal on monthly basis or travels a few hundred KM to the Thai border town and re-enter Malaysia to get a Three month visitor visa.

The man is Sir Norman Frank Sisson. And he is 75 years old now.

With his wealth of life experiences, he can definitely add to the cultural diversity and contribute to the overall well being of Malaysia. He is wiling, patient, and hopeful to get the official recognition to be acknowledge as Permanent Residence of Malaysia. Why and on what grounds are we ignoring his application ? Is it because of his country of origin ?

I believed, there are many foreigners who are less qualified than Sir Norman, are give PR status. Otherwise, how come there are so many Indonesians, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis petty traders ( with blue identity cards ?) in ChowKit street ? Why are these lesser qualified foreigners are accorded better priority ?

The least the immigration Department can do, is to acknowledge Sir Norman's application, and officially write to him the qualifying criteria for acceptance as Permanent Resident. Perhaps, it is high time now, our “caring government” published the criteria to all PR status applicants. If their applications are rejected, highlight to them which of the criteria are not met, and gave them the opportunity and time frame to meet the criteria. Hello, there is this little decency called transparency. We have been talking about it, we even go around the world telling other countries to practice it. For a start, why not we start practicing it here in Malaysia ?

Why subject an old man who genuinely love Malaysia to unnecessary mental anguish ? Please remember, 15 years ago, he did rendered his management expertise to help run a factory and indirectly contributed to the economic well-beings of Malaysia. It is indeed a shame that we now forget his little budi and jasa. Maybe we come from a culture of memang pandai melupa. Saya Napoleon, you siapa ?

We have been talking about brain drain in Malaysia. The government has been hanging out carrots all over the place to seduce “successful” but unpatriotic Malaysians to come back. Here, we have a brain with wealth of experiences applied to become a Malaysian, and we conveniently ignore him to let the brain drain out. Sir Norman, I sincerely hope and pray that, your application for PR status will be successful. In the time, please do not forget to enjoy Ipoh's famous white coffee and bean sprouts chickens. May God with his amazing grace bless you with good health and happiness.

Om Namo Amithaba Buddha.

Still hopeful he will get PR

IPOH: Sir Norman Frank Sisson was hoping against hope for the "best birthday present ever" — permanent residence in Malaysia — but his birthday came and went on June 28 with no word from the authorities. The 75-year-old Australian held back tears of disappointment at a small celebration organised by Malaysian friends over the weekend. "Guess I’ll just have to wait a little bit longer for my present eh," the retired marble factory manager said after making a birthday wish. Sir Norman said he received two letters after his plight was highlighted by the New Straits Times in early May, both from NST readers. "I was pleasantly surprised as they were simply addressed to ‘Sir Norman Frank Sisson, Canning Garden, Ipoh’," he said. Both senders wished him well in his quest for PR. He applied to the Home Affairs Ministry and the Perak Immigration Department in 1998 for PR but did not receive a reply. He has written to the authorities regularly, the last time was in January, but to no avail. Sir Norman first came to Malaysia in 1989 on a work permit to manage a joint-venture marble factory, which closed in 1996. By then he had fallen in love with the country and its people and decided to remain here and apply for PR. His wife died in 1984 and his three children have families of their own. To remain here legally, he either has to renew his visa on a monthly basis at RM100 a time or take a RM30 bus ride to Betong, a Thai border town, and re-enter Malaysia for a three-month stay. "I think I can survive a few more trips to Betong by bus," he said to cheers from those at the party. Contacted for comment, State Immigration Department director Badaruddin Chek said he would look into the status of Sir Norman’s application today.

Religion Of Non Violence......

For those born under the PIG animal sign

When men behaved like animals.....

Today is sad day for Animal Lovers. 13 defenseless dogs were cruelly massacred.

I read with sadness the insane and inhumane barbarisms adopted by the Seremban Municipal Council in their attempt to kill 25 dogs belonging to Eng Her Sun ( 66 years old ). 13 innocent dogs were indiscriminately shot to death. Eng has claimed that the enforcement officers from the council trespassed into his house to commit the barbaric acts. According to Eng, "My house became a killing field. There was blood everywhere. I not only lost my dogs but I also had to spend hours cleaning the blood. This is so inhumane. Those dogs were like my children."

According to the Seremban Council president, Abdul Halim Abdul Latif, the council has received numerous complaints about Eng and his dogs over the years, and all the council want is for Eng “to be more considerate towards his neighbours. They can’t tolerate the bad smell and incessant barking anymore," However, Abdul Halim's allegations are refuted by Eng's neighbours. None of Eng's neighbours had complained about the dogs. The dogs are well kept and were not noisy but only barked when there are people standing outside the house or provoked.

Dogs are men best friends, and are known to be very loyal to humans as companions, in search and rescue operations, and crime preventions operations. I known, in certain religion, dogs are not well liked. But that does not give these idiots the rights to storms into the house, indiscriminately shooting the frightened and innocent dogs.

Yes, to keep 25 dogs in house is not acceptable. The council should have just obtain the court order to arrest and charge the owner in court if there are any breached of the town council by-laws. What kind of perverted pleasures these people derived in killing innocent dogs ? Aren't all living things also have rights of existence ?

In some civil countries, this kind of barbaric acts would received the highest level of condemnations. In Malaysia, we are talking about “masyarakat penyayang” ( a caring society ) by the government, but on the other hand, no actions are taken against the government machineries that commit cruelty. Talk is cheap ! Actions are always inconsistent with words ! Cakap tak serupa bikin.

Why adopt all these barbaric mentalities against defenseless dogs. Yes. I am outraged ! Please learn to respect the sensitivity of animal lovers.

All animals are beautiful living creatures created by God. Of course, animals are of lower intelligence compared to men. Animals need the protections of men. But when men's behaviors are worst than animals. No wonder this world is full of violences and barbarians. And this world is full of pissfull MF's.........

May all MF's be forever live in HELL ! Om Namo Amithaba Buddha.
