ISA knocks again....

I am very sad to read that 5 ethnic Indian activists were arrested and send to my hometown ( Kamunting ) for holiday without trials. The 5 activists are are key members of the Hindu Rights Action Force ( Hindraf ). They managed to organized a peaceful street rally that drew more than 20000 people and attracted worldwide attentions to their plights.

Hindraf has alleged racial discrimination in business, job, and education by the government of Malaysia and demanded equality and fair treatment for Indians. The government denied discriminations against ethnic Indians.

The government has said that "majority" of Malaysians approved the use of Internal Security Act ( ISA) against the 5 activists to preserve national peace and security. Am I supposed to feel proud that Malaysia is one of the last few countries in the world that still practice Draconian Law. I do find it very sad to swallow the fact that, "national peace and security" are being used again as the excuse to invoke detention without trial on the 5 activists. I sincerely doubt the 5 activists are capable of intend to threaten our national peace and security. I believed, all they want is, fair ears to hear their alleged claims of racial discriminations.

If we can show so much sympathies to terrorists by asking the world to understand the root causes of terrorism, why are we then, not able to accord the same level of sympathies to these group of people who believed that they had been marginalized and racially discriminated ? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the government to challenge their allegations in the court ?

In any civil society, we must be able to accept and tolerate differing opinions and expressions. It is not the culture of civil society to arrest and put activists in jails without trials. It breaks my heart to see draconian law being applies on fellow Malaysians simply because some of us believed these 5 activists are a threat to national security.

On my bended knees, I pray. May God bless all of us to have fair eyes for humanity, empathetic ears to listen to grouses, and the wisdom to do the right things.

I just recovered from bird flu.....

Forgive me if I talk cock, because I still have some residual bird flu virus in my bloods.......

"Saya pantang di cabar..." ( It is taboo to challenge me.....). Wow, what a macho talk. But Malaysians are a forgiving lot. Sai loh koh ng sek yeh, yow hei kong lah.... Every day kong ng sum ng sei. Maybe he just recovered from bird flu and still talking cock language.

"If I have to sign a detention order for ISA (Internal Security Act - detention without trial ), I will do it without feeling guilty......". So the pen he hold is mightier than human morality. Indeed, we are the last few righteous countries in the world that religiously believe that jailing people without proper trial in legally constituted court is morally right.

"If the choice is between public safety and public freedoms, I do not hesitate to say here that public safety will always win...". I don't really know, what is the meaning of safety without freedom ? Well, what can I say, there are always perverts who loved to screwed and be screwed. This is scary. In the name of safety, some idiots seemed to think that it is their God damned rights to deny the freedom of others.

And, the best part is, we seemed to be very proud to tell the whole world that, the "Rights to Peaceful Assemblies" as enshrined in Article 20 of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights and others internationally agreed human rights standards are deemed to be "ini bukan budaya kita" ( this is not our culture ). I bet some of us are damn proud with their uncultured forked tongues hypocrisies. What is our budaya anyway ? Cakap tak serupa bikin ?

Big man tough talks ? or was it desperate words from wannabe tyrants wanting to be seen tough ? Is this the morally accepted reality ? Or was it decadent reality illusorily conceived by the some immoral morons ? Well, human rights means different thing to different primates. Some primates seemed to think that they are a class above moron, and demanded their rights to deprive the rights of others. Whatever it is, I had made up my mind in the coming general elections, it is my duty to vote out politically arrogant and morally decadent politicians.

During his days of decadent glory, Fujimori was once a big man with his ill conceived tough talks, but yesterday, he was sentenced to 6 years jail by Peruvian Court. Sadam Hussein thought he is invincible and rule Iraq with arrogant wimps and fancies, but he was executed by his own countrymen at a time when the world was celebrating in Holidays. Remember, good begets good, bad begets bad, and vipakka is the natural outcome for karma to manifest its consequences.

So for all the politicall decadent politicians out there, remember Fujimori, remember Sadam Hussein.

The meaning of Life ?

This old man,
a spiritual master to many,
a defender of his religion and God.
He is learned in every aspect of life.
He blessed others,
and seek to be blessed by almighty.

With all his perceived enlightenment,
He lived a lonely and monotonous life.
With all his wisdom and religiosity,
he asked, "what is the meaning of life ?"

For his whole life,
he searched for the meaning of life.
Awaiting for blessing from eternity.
In doing so, he wasted his whole life.
he lived a life of illusion.
He lived life no longer.

Life can be ungrateful and unkind.
Wipe your tears and rid your sorrows,
move on to seek new experiences ahead.
Life goes on...

Life can be blissful and sweet.
Closed your eyes and enjoy every moment,
move on to seek life's next reward.
Life goes on...

Seize the moment to live life.
Let life dictate you the direction,
take the moment to feel the beats,
smell the flower, touch the life of others,
and be embraced in the circle of sugar and spice.

Come what may,
life is for living.
let it come, let it go.
See life in different perspectives,
learn to live life differently,
and live a life with your heart
open to endless possibilities.

With or without you,
Life is full of surprises with many good things.
Life lived, life gone, and life goes on.......
Still want to know what is the meaning of life ?

International Human Rights Day 2007

Today, December 10th 2007, is the International Human Rights Day, it is also the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. In its official website, the UN Secretary General, Bn Ki Moon, states that "It is our duty to ensure that these rights are a living reality -- that they are known, understood and enjoyed by everyone, everywhere. It is often those who most need their human rights protected, who also need to be informed that the Declaration exists -- and that it exists for them. "

What is Human Rights ?

The draft of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have 30 articles. For full details of these declaration, please visit The United Nations Universal Declaration Of Human Rights. Some of the articles in the declarations are :

Article 1 : All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Article 2 : Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

Article 7 : All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.

Article 18 : Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.


Article 20 : Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.


Sad to note that, In Malaysia, the celebration of International Human Rights Day is marred by the arrest of a small number of lawyers who participated in a "peaceful walk in the street". In Article 20 of the United Nations' declaration, peaceful assembly is consider a fundamental foundation of human rights. But in Malaysia, peaceful assembly is deemed illegal by the authority because of the fear of causing "disturbance of peace". As a developing nation going forward to achieve developed status, we have to serve this noble international commitment honourably, we can not forever using this fear as bogeyman to suppress basic human rights.

It is also very sad to note that, after more than 50 years of statehood, Malaysians are still preoccupied with seeking, demanding, expanding, and defending individualistic racial, cultural, and religious rights at the expense of other Malaysians. When would all Malaysians be able to be educated and learned to entitle all Malaysians with equal rights and freedoms without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status ?

At the moment, looking at recent happenings, I am honestly disillusioned. It does seemed to me that, human rights in Malaysia is an illusory contradictions.

Honestly, I do wonder, how many of our law makers are well versed with our constitution and the articles enshrined inside the Universal Declarations Of Human Rights. To appreciate international human rights standards, perhaps for a start, it is about time, Malaysia engage the the office of United Nations to conduct courses and indoctrinated better understanding of universal human rights for our members of parliament, members of state assemblies, and senators. It is never too late to learn, accept, implement, and to comply to international expectations honourably.

May all Malaysians be able to stand united in this blessed land, equal in dignity, rights, and pride. May Malaysia take an honourable place in the United Nations and be respected in the eyes of the free world.

In God we feared ?

"The fear of Allah is not there. So we have now a polluted earth, a polluted water, a wasteland...." Sheik Mohammed Omran, a Muslim cleric at Brunswick mosque in Australia, blamed the devastating drought, climate change, and pollution on Australians' lack of faith in Allah. Read Drought blamed on lack of faith

"Australia has turned away from Almighty God . . . the sinful condition of mankind has contributed to the stem of rainfall...." Danny Nalliah, pastor of Catch the Fires Ministries, blamed "sinful" Australians for the nation's record drought and climate change. Read Pastor blames drought on immoral Aussies

Oh no, not again... Another fear factor in the name of God ! Anyway, If Australia is such as sinful and immoral place as claimed by these so called religious people, why are they and their followers still residing in Australia ? Perhaps, they should go back to their biblical and holy lands dictated in their holy book to seek salvation from their respective Gods.

The law of universe is such, that, all things will find their natural balances. Certain geographical and environmental degradations such as draught, climatic change, etc. are due to mankind's lack of respect for the environment and earth's geographical conditioning, it got noting to do with men's faiths in God. If there is a God, isn't it very perverted of God to create catastrophes to cause hardships to men simply because he want to punish men for their "sins" ? If there is a God, isn't God supposed to be all compassionate, all knowing, all forgiving, and all merciful ? Honestly, If there is a God, I think he or she is not doing a good job in keeping the human race enlightened. Perhaps, God has been sleeping in his Job. If you ask me, since we institutionalized religion and instituted man made law to create and protect the existence of God, he or she should be punished for not reciprocating human's good deeds of creating him. God should be punished, not human beings.

All secular man live in ethical world and eventually go to Nirvana. What about the so called religious men ? I think most of them come from hell, live in hatreds, and fart incoherent languages to create fears in the hope that other naive and irrational men and women will tag along their path of illogical mental lunacies.

A trully religious person do not go around preaching fears and reprisals. A trully religious person keep his religious belief to himself. A trully religious person do not condem other people's beliefs. A trully religious person is a spiritual person. A spirituall person walks the middle path and is respectful of his environment.

So, next time, if some men or women start invoking the name of their God to indirectly instituting fears and promised paradise, you know you are being approached by deluded lunatics with his brand of religious intolernces. Please do mankind a great favour by asking them to go back to their rightful place with their pissful mentalities - Hell.
