Chinese are not happy with DAP

Recently I came across one of my Facebook friends status which I believe should be shared here. She opined that the Chinese support towards  Pakatan Rakyat- especially DAP is dwindling.

I'm not sure if this is true but as a Chinese, I believe she has her own sources given her inputs regarding this information. Anyway let the coming GE verify this. Pray really really hard to get rid of DAP from Penang. Lim's dynasty is fast becoming irrelevant. Though I'm staying in Subang Jaya , but as a true Penangite , I don't want an outsider to rule our state and simply demolish what has been 'preserved' all this while.

Below is the comment from my Facebook friend by her ID 'Margaret Justice' on the latest Chinese support towards DAP.

"I begin to notice some Chinese are not that happy with DAP’s method in dealing with non Chinese especially the Malays and -by extension - UMNO.

There are various reasons for that. The community self examine their commitment to DAP after the debate  between Dr Chua and The Man who likes to think that the Chinese world centers around him; none other than Guan Eng.

It is very easy to speak for 2 hours in Ceramah condemning UMNO and trying to draw similarity between Najib and Hitler. But in the debate, there and then you are challenged. And everybody knows who between the 2 have substance and who is “tin kosong”(Lim Guan Eng)

Besides, the Chinese have notice that the Malays are putting their faith and support to back UMNO in substantial scale. Meaning UMNO’s position as the dominant party in Malay community is reemphasized. The  Chinese, long seen as  cunning lot by the  Malays, (no offense please ) are strategic lot;  thus alliance with the loser (DAP) will not benefit them.

Yes. They (the Chinese community)  gave their mandate and voted for DAP - for a trial- in 2008 . But they are also realising very fast that without MCA, they are without any political representation in the Federal Government. Dr Chua of MCA  is very smart in reminding the  Chinese that he will not accept any Cabinet post ( this stand has also being voiced out  by other MCA leaders) should MCA show dismal  performance in the   coming election. Hence this coming General Election,  many Chinese are expected to give their mandate to MCA just like the Malays are going back  to their roots and throw their support behind UMNO...

Besides, after giving PR a chance to rule several states, people  realised  that PR-led state governments are not as good as they claimed to be -  in fact they are even more corrupted than BN - which is evident by the Selangor Sand issue, the THB inquiry findings, the Mr.30% of the Kedah issue ...and the last crunch - the Bayan Mutiara Land issue  in Penang.

The Chinese must show DAP that its “forte’ which is waging war against the Malays just to secure and perpetuate Lim Dynasty will not be tolerated.

To my Chinese friend, there is no need to sacrifice the interest of

the  entire community just to help a few politicians who are still trapped in Jurassic age . Thus  voting DAP is not a good choice and will affect your own benefit while enriching some of those voted into power ....Just as the Malays must be strong enough

to reject politicians from PAS who monopolised (and misled the Muslims) on  Islamic -related issues , Chinese must never select politicians who are bankrupt of ideas and is only known for triggering racial sentiment. .....such is the stereotype Lim Guan Eng is made of.

Lim Guan Eng has committed the cardinal sin in Penang's  Bayan Mutiara issue. Instead of addressing genuine concern on Bayan Mutiara's mosque site which was earlier demarcated and reserved by Penang Development Corporation back in 2007, which is a main  concern to every Muslims in this country, Lim Guan Eng started accusing those who raised the issue as racist. Wake up now and don't be conned and doomed  this coming election..

The Foreign "Agenda" and PAS' betrayal on Islam

The betrayal of  PAS, the so called "Islamic party" is clearly seen in these two articles pas-backs-alkitab-release-usage dan PAS betrayal of Islam at Sibu

Excerp from The Malaysian Insider 18 March states:

" KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — The use of Christian bibles in Bahasa Malaysia will not affect the position of Islam and Muslims in the country, the influential PAS Ulama council has said.

In backing the release of the previously impounded 35,100 Malay-language bibles, council chief Datuk Harun Taib said Christians should not be denied their right to use the bibles as Bahasa Malaysia is the official language of the country.

“For me, there is no issue if the bible is used in Bahasa Malaysia... even [if it is printed] in other languages [there] should not be a problem.

“Would the faith of Muslims be affected by a translation of the bible? No, it is just a bible read by Christians, that is all. Why must there be any opposition?” Harun said to The Malaysian Insider.

May be it is high time to highlight the whole series of the videos which consist of part 1,2 and 3 for Muslims to see the "larger picture" on the treat to Islam by these so called "liberalised Islam" politicians. Hopefully we will never again be duped by these politicians who ride on the pedestal of religion to destroy Islam from within.

Part 1

Part 2

Surprise, surprise the so called Islamic leaders who betrayed Islam are  Azmin Ali, Nasharudin Tantawi Vice President of PAS, Husam Musa PAS Vice President 1 and senior exco and  warlord in Kelantan, Mat Sabu Deputy President 2 PAS, Hatta Ramli PAS Treasurer, Sallahudin Ayub PAS Youth Leader, Mustafa Ali PAS party strategist and politician, Badrul Amin PAS legislator, RPK and Anwar Ibrahim the de facto leader of Pakatan Rakyat- according to the video (Berseh is an NGO which supports Interfaith Council or IFC , which fights for pluralisme of religion in Malaysia)

Part 3

May Allah gives us guidance and may we be united in our fight against attempts to pluralise Islam in Malaysia. Ameen.

Next- what is Wahhabism and how these policians are related to The Foreign Agenda

                             

It leaks and the House shall fall...

Countries around the world  woke up with embarassment when gossips among their top diplomats made rounds  in Wikileaks. The affair saw the main perpetrator Assange being arrested, released  and house arrested at a 10-bedroom mansion in United Kingdom while awaiting extradition to Sweden. But the military co-conspirator that cooked up the soup and leaked out most of the story, Private First Class Bradley Manning, who actually leaked many of the cables and documents regarding Afghanistan and Iraq to the Wikileaks organization, remained incarcerated at the Marine Corps Brig in Quantico.

In Indonesia Indoleaks at http://www.indoleaks.org/  offers sneak peak at Bank Century's affair which will certainly set  some red face amongs the country's top brass.

In Malaysia we have a localised version of Malaysialeaks. The can of worms on APCO was opened  by parliamentarian  Zulkifli Nordin  APCO . This  Malaysialeaks   saw the deceitful political ploy by Anwar to confuse the public on APCO. The Malaysian version of  Machiavellian move, a trademark of Anwar's tactical ploy in deceiving  members of the public on every single issue befalling him  will eventually put him in the Hall Of Shame in Malaysian politics. See the cronology of events detailed by another parliamentarian Truth-on-anwar-suspension-over-APCO . 

As Barking Magpie noted in his article,  decline-of-false-martyr-anwar-ibrahims, poor Anwar Ibrahim is simply a prisoner of his passions, to the extent that they override his sense of self-preservation. Or, more intriguingly, did Anwar Ibrahim calculate that a second trial on sodomy would redound to his long-term political benefit, as the first one assuredly did? And  he "briliantly" used the APCO issue to discredit the prosecutor and the government of Malaysia in the eyes of the naive members of the public. Barking Magpie further added that in Anwar’s mental universe, the whole issue  are a product of Malaysia's special branch,wherein they are penetrated by Israeli agents. 

Indeed this is a sad day for Malaysians for our August House is being filled by  immatured politicians who are willing to sell their souls to the devil and fall as victims to their own an nafs.

Kit Siang, Please Learn These Signs

Oppss I did it again (falling into the sea)

Call Kit Siang a politically blind man for he keeps on promoting his desire here
http://blog.limkitsiang.com/2010/10/31/a-pr-win-in-batu-sapi-will-signify-national-change-kit-siang-says/

I would rather say "Allo Kit Siang, you better learn the signs of nature from these oldies but goodies signals your grandmama told you"

When the candidate fell twice into the sea we can only think of these grandmama words

1- "once beaten, twice shy" (about balancing act on a narrow and slick wooden "titi")

2- the poor guy (Ansari) was  left with "wet pants" (left in a lurch by party campaigners who resigned en mass)

3-it is "bad feng sui" to fall twice into the sea

4-like "rubbing salt into open wounds" (regarding the choice of candidate and the bickering that followed at KK airport)

5-"who says still water carry no harm?" (being near water is proven a bad omen for Ansari whenever his campaign trail is concern)

Aiyaaaa, in Chinese culture water being the significant other point for money, wealth and luck, this is no luck at all.....

Remembering Stephen Kalong Ningkan: Sarawak’s First Chief Minister

Sarawak's first Chief Minister was an Iban, Stephen Kalong Ningkan.

Iban made up the largest ethnic group in Sarawak. Yet, until today, Stephen Kalong Ningkan is the only Chief Minister (CM) from this ethnic group. This is something that Malays in West Malaysia should think ......majority does not always hold the decisive power should we continue to be disunited.

I bet the same thing goes to Hulu Selangor and Sibu polls.
...................................

Stephen Kalong Ningkan: Borneo’s forgotten hero?

by Marcel Jude Joseph April 12, 2010, Monday-The Borneo Post

When we talk about the formation of Malaysia, a number of names are frequently mentioned — Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Donald Stephens and even Lee Kuan Yew, a Singaporean.

No one outside Sarawak, however, would likely mention the name of Stephen Kalong Ningkan, even though he was the state’s first Chief Minister, in office from 1963 to 1966. Recently, I came across an article which stated, “I’d like to highlight that Stephen Kalong Ningkan was a firm believer that Sarawakians were entitled to have full citizenship rights and to participate in Malaysia’s national development on par with the Malays on the Malaya Peninsula.

“You see, we the younger generations today, could not fully appreciate the true meaning of Sarawak and how our ancestors fought for their independence before because we weren’t there. I believe, if we were to experience it personally, then I think we’d know what Sarawak means. Even I am still in the dark over the whole thing.

“But take note here, that our early leaders fought for our rights and they struggled every day so that we now could have a much better future and to leave our mark in this world.”

Although Ningkan’s name is hardly mentioned outside Sarawak, law students and lawyers will never fail to come across his name, which is part of leading decided cases of Constitutional Law not only in Malaysia but throughout the Commonwealth.

The fainting incident

In Kuching on September 16, 1963, Khir Johari read the Proclamation of Malaysia in the Kuching Central Padang followed by the hoisting of the federal flag and the playing of ‘Negaraku’.

Ningkan then read the Proclamation of the Independence of Sarawak.

“Whereas one of the nine Cardinal Principles of the rule of the English Rajahs was that the goal of self-government shall always be kept in mind and that the people of Sarawak shall be entrusted in due course with the Governance of themselves;

“And whereas this principle accords with the policy which Her Majesty’s Government of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland have always pursued in the Governance of those territories of the Commonwealth for those affairs Her Majesty’s Government have been responsible.

“And whereas in pursuance of this principle Her Majesty’s Government by an agreement entered into on the 9th day of July, 1963, with the Government of the Federation of Malaya, the Government of the State of Singapore and the Governments of the Colonies of Sarawak and North Borneo it was agreed that the States of Singapore and the Colonies of Sarawak and North Borneo shall be federated with the Federation of Malaya, and that the said Federation shall be known as Malaysia;

“And whereas Constitutions for Malaysia and for the States of Sarawak, Sabah and Singapore have been promulgated: “And whereas by a Proclamation made under Section 2 of the Malaysia Act the 16th day of September, 1963 has been proclaimed as Malaysia Day:

“Now therefore I, Stephen Kalong Ningkan, the Chief Minister of Sarawak, hereby proclaim that Sarawak has this day attained independence as the State of Malaysia.”

After the Proclamation was read, the then Datu Abang Openg was sworn in as the Governor of Sarawak by the Chief Justice Sir Campbell Wylie.

It was a grand occasion and the Chief Justice, dignified by his wig in his scarlet and black robes was in the company of Ningkan and the Commissioner of Police PE Turnbull — who was in full ceremonial uniform — and was also in the company of the Commander of the British Forces in West Sarawak Brigadier FC Barton, in full khaki dress.

The swearing-in was then followed by a second state salute and the Inspection of the Parade.


The ceremony turned into a panic situation when towards the end of the parade, the Governor suddenly fainted and had to be seated.

Two doctors in audience, Drs Chong Chung Hian and Daniel Kok, were there to help the Governor and it was later on decided that he be sent to the Sarawak General Hospital for a precautionary check-up, which revealed nothing serious.


Was this incident purely a coincidence or perhaps it was prophetic of things to come for within no less than three years, Ningkan would no longer be Chief Minster and Sarawak would be under a state of emergency. How did it go all so wrong?

The proclamation of emergency in Sarawak

On Sept 14, 1966, a state of emergency was proclaimed in Sarawak and it read as follows:-

“WHEREAS WE are satisfied that a grave Emergency exists whereby the security of a part of the Federation, to wit the State of Sarawak, is threatened:

“AND WHEREAS article 150 of the Constitution provides that in the said circumstances WE may issue a Proclamation of Emergency:


“Now, therefore, we Tuanku Ismail Nasiruddin Shah ibni Al-Marhum Al-Sultan Zainal Abidin, by the Grace of God of the States and territories of Malaysia Yang di-Pertuan Agong in exercise of the powers aforesaid do hereby proclaim that a State of Emergency exists, and that this Proclamation shall extend throughout the territories of the State of Sarawak.”

Events leading to the emergency


Ningkan was appointed Chief Minister on July 22, 1963, and continued to hold that office after Malaysia Day when Sarawak became one of the States of the Federation of Malaysia.

The Constitution of Sarawak, which in its present form came into force just before Malaysia Day, provides by Article 13 that the State Legislature shall consist of the Governor and one House to be known as the Council Negri. The executive authority of the State is vested in the Governor by Article 5.


By Article 6 a Supreme Council, or Cabinet, is set up to advise the Governor.

It consists of the Chief Minister with five other members, all appointed by the Governor from the membership of the Council Negri, and three ex officio members.


Article 7 deals with the tenure of office of members of the Supreme Council. If the Chief Minister ceases to command the confidence of a majority of the Council Negri, he is to tender the resignation of the appointed members of the Supreme Council, unless at his request the Governor dissolves the Council Negri.


An appointed member may resign at any time and his appointment, if he is not the Chief Minister, may be revoked by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister.

Members, other than the Chief Minister and the ex officio members, are to hold office at the Governor’s pleasure. The Constitution of 1963 makes no specific provision for the dismissal of the Chief Minister by the Governor.

2013-back to the future - a simulation on Malaysia's worst case political scenario

Clown? Nay it is politicians

Companies like The Dutch Shell Group of Companies are known to be very successful in predicting the future phenomenon in the very connected socio-politico-business environment, and that surviving instict has kept the company afloat and agile - to survive yet another economic downturn the world over.



While other oil and gas company are scrambling to find oil reserve in far off countries in an ever depleting fossil fuel duel amongs oil giants, Shell is taking the path less travelled and going green.



The secret to the "think-out-of-the -box approach" by Shell is to create at least three scenarios for Shell Company world wide to face: the best case scenario, the present (undististurbed scenario serves as a calibrating instrument) case scenario and worst case scenario.



Now I would like to ask the readers to put the "Shell simulating scenario game" into Malaysian politics.........imagine the worst case scenario for Malaysia like this, come 2012:-



It is year 2013- Malaysia has been put in a catch 22 situation and more trouble is to come



It has been a year since, Barisan Nasional, the coalition party of UMNO, MCA,MIC has been (finally sic!) put to death; when Pakatan Rakyat successfully take over the mantle of Malaysian political helm from Barisan Nasional via a massive landslide victory in General Election 13, 2012!

Unlike the Indians (in the Indian sub-continent) who voted for continuos prosperity and stability under the economic master of Manmohan Singh, who masterminded the Indian economic prowess to the world, and a stark shift from the old , closed socialist economic of his predescessor, Malaysians like to vote for riskier, untested, untried coalition of Pakatan Rakyat.

Forget the Pakatan Rakyat earlier failure to steer clear off the economic problems ( and some bancruptcy threats) of the remaining four (4) states under them previously, namely Penang, Kedah, Selangor and Kelantan.

Gullible and naive Malaysian fall prey (again?) to the sweet general election campaign promises of Pakatan Rakyat.

This time The Pakatan Team promise the "heaven"; the new moon for planet earth, the stars, the sun and a hefty golden bust (head figurine) of King Tutankemon of ancient Egypt to every Tom, Dick and Harry who vote for Pakatan Rakyat!.

Oh,not only that, to fulfill the promise made during General Elections 13, it is now legal to sue any utility companies which issued bills. Utility, as per election promised, is free. Forget the facts that Petronas, Syabas, TNB are going bancrupt. There are enough oil, sands, water (inclusive of underground water as pre-ventured by Pakatan Rakyat's team in Perak-pre MB Zambri's suceeding as the state's Menteri Besar), alluvial minerals such as tin, silver, gold and untapped forest reserve (the logs and herbs) to serve a collaterals for loans from the World Bank.

The old school of thought on economics, a.k.a Mahathirism economic that steer clear of any International Monetary Funds (IMF) and World Bank loan is outdated and deemed passe. Forget that the rakyat will suffer due to higher interest rate when they pay loans to the banks.....Pakatan Rakyat wins means that the economic system of Anwarism is back in full swing! So now, the main priority is for Malaysia to pay off debt to IMF and World Bank! The rakyat, can now follow in the foot steps of many Indians, Indonesians and Filipinos nationals who had to resort to selling off their internal body organs to pay off loans from banks and loan sharks (Ah Longs will be highly protected species then, because Pakatan Rakyat successfully trashed away the Police, Malaysia Anti Corruption Committee, army etc)

Not only that, in the now bancrupt state of Selangor, YB Lenjan promise to strip oopsy whip (tease?) many more photos flicks , with a royalty this time around, to raise the state's depleting fund. YB Yang Amat Puteh (tanpa dosa) promise any Tom, Dick and Harry RM 200 (that is the standard fee nowadays for any tricky jobs like attending demostrations and carrying anti establishment protest placards) for reporting illegal azan. Under the new Azan Act (2013), which eerily follows the Selangor State Enactment passed by Pakatan Rakyat with no objection motion from the state's opposition (Barisan Nasional excos are all booted out from the State's Assembly a.k.a DUN before the enactment is presented), azan is now deemed illegal, in Malaysia, if it is not accompanied by the adjoining mosque- temple's chanting bell, as have been succesfully implemented in Section 18,19,22 and 23 Shah Alam.

There will be more frequent demostrations regarding "relocation" of the poor and the destitude like Kg Buah Pala and Kg Cheruk Tok Kun In Penang. Forget the grave marker proof that the settlement in Cheruk Tok Kun is 300 years old. The settlements and all other Malay Kampungs are deemed illegals . Like many other attempts before, blame everything on Barisan Nasional. The Pakatan Rakyat leader of Malaysia now can walk undisturbed because they have shift the blame to Barisan Nasional, as usual.

If the demonstrations persist, put every demonstrators in ISA like camps. Oh no! It is not ISA camp in Kamunting. No, no, it is simply a "rehabilitation camp" like so many others in United States Of America........ for every system, technique and mode of life originating from that country is superior and benchmarked for excellence!

What about Freedom of the Press? Nay! There is no such thing as freedom of the press! If any talk persist blaming any Pakatan Rakyat leaders, cronies, wives, girlfriends (now it is legal for girlfriends to state their boyfriend's name as fathers of their babies even when they do not tied the marriage knot), boyfriends, extra chummy (good) friends and underworld contacts for any mishap, sue them! After all the now famous YB Pocho Pocho (who has Bollywood films made about his infamous crusade turning poor government officer witnesses into crime suspects and extra gruelling questioning technique learnt at Guantenamo prison ) can represent you for a price!

What about the Barisan Nasional crusade to reduce the economic disparity between the poor and the rich? What crusade? Under the newly nationalised Malaysian Malaysia princip (previously the main crusade of DAP), it is survival of the fittest. Period!

This means that a poor Iban or Kedazan in remote areas of Sarawak or Sabah has to contest on equal ground for university entrance exam or for job entry. Oh the poor Iban or Kadazan has to find their own computers to fill in their particulars for job market. For now it is e -government 100%.

Oh what about the poor and displaced Malays? Oh the Malay are the gullible lot! Just send Nizar the joker to remote and poor areas of the Malay settlements ( remember all kampongs are earmarked for further development like Kg Buah Pala right?) and give them RM 100, half a kilogram rice and some smile (like they did in Bukit Gantang By Election). Definately their grouses will dissapear. In fact the same tactics has been proven so succesfull in Singapore that Pakatan Rakyat should adopt the same tactics in Malaysia soonest! Also, taking lessons from down south; it is good to include willing and extra chummy Malay politicians who simply become "yes man" (and enriching their pocket in the process) to further DAP's political agenda.

By The Way- the reunification of Malaysia and Singapore is sealed. Richer Singaporeans now can grab (buy at a much high price) any land or real estate , to settle down in the now called authoritative like police- country of Malaysingapore. The poor majority, which happens to be the Malays will have to scramble for livelihood. After all it is noted in the Singaporean literature that the Malays are actually IMMIGRANTS and island hopping from one island to another in the Malay Archipellago! Period!

Maybe it is now legal to set up convenient stores that sell liquor at any kindy. After all, according to the new legal interpretation of "arak" in Malaysia, if the "juice" contains less than 5% of alcohol, it is not categorised as alcoholic beverages or "arak". Period!

If all method for the now misled and fooled rakyat to air their grouses fail, simply make the Parliament off limit to the any people representatives aside from Pakatan Rakyat!

IT HAS BEEN PROVEN SO SUCCESSFUL IN SELANGOR RIGHT?

WARNING! ACHTUNG! AMARAN!

THIS WORST CASE POLITICAL SCENARIO IS TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MALAYSIA IF WE THE PEOPLE LET CLOWNS AND INCOMPETENT PAKATAN RAKYAT REPRESENTIVES CONTINUE ON RUNNING OUR BELOVED COUNTRY!

tanah wakaf di Pulau Pinang

Macam macam yang berlaku diakhir zaman ini. Maklumlah Pulau Mutiara tanahnya sedikit, apa-apa yang diamanahkan oleh simati pula sanggup dikhianati hanya kerana berberhalakan RM.

Malang sekali, entiti yang diamanahkan untuk menjaga hartanah wakaf cuba meruntuhkan masjid yang dibina kerana nak mengkomersialkan hartanah tersebut.

Nasib baiklah ada waris simati En Isa memfailkan writ saman memohon injunksi supaya perkara tersebut (merobohkan masjid) tidak dapat dilaksanakan.

Jika sungguhpun isu kesempitan tanah dan nak menjana wang dan ekonomi Islam di Pulau Mutiara menjadi isu, kenapa tidak dinaiktarafkan Masjid Jamek Hj Abdul Wahab, dan pembangunan yang dibuat ke atas ruang yang lebih luas dimanfaat ke arah menjana ekonomi umat Islam yang makin hari makin terpinggir di Pulau Mutiara itu.

Pembangunan mampan yang berteraskan Islam (Sustainable development which includes socially- and in this case - religiously responsible development) perlu dijadikan wadah perjuangan oleh semua Majlis Ugama Negeri.

Apa salahnya jika ruang yang bertambah semasa masjid asal dinaiktaraf digunakan untuk disewakan kepada perusahan orang Islam yang menjalankan pusat dialisis ( buah pinggang), ruang pejabat NGO Islam yang membuat kaunselling/mentoring ke atas umat Islam yang dhaif dan bermasalah, tempat perlindungan sementara mualaf dan ibu tunggal atau mangsa dera (gereja memang melakukannya, jangan sampai ada insan malang umat Islam terpaksa berlindung disana), kelas mengajar al Quran, kelas mengajar kemahiran hidup seperti kelas jahitan, sulaman kepada golongan dhaif ( sekali lagi gereja melakukannya, dan harap jangan ada umat Islam terpinggir yang masuk ke gereja untuk mendapatkan ilmu disitu) ruang taska dan tadika Islam, kiosk ATM, kedai buku, kedai cenderahati tulisan khat dan lain lain kraftangan kesenian Islam, mini muzium Islam dan sebagainya.

Majlis ugama negeri negeri perlu berfikir " out of the box" dan menjana paradigma baru bagi menjana pendapatan tanpa merosakkan fungsi masjid yang terbina di atas tanah wakaf. Oleh itu, pendekatan yang perlu diambil adalah untuk menjadikan kompleks masjid yang telah dinaiktaraf sebagai satu ruang multipurpose berpaksikan nilai nilai Islam yang mempunyai wadah memertabatkan umat Islam di Malaysia.

Apa salahnya,meniru pendekatan mubaligh kristian yang berjaya menjadikan kompleks gereja mereka supaya menjadi tumpuan orang ramai, namun tidak sampai menjadikan ia sebagai kompleks beli belah,apartment atau hotel!

Jika ruang tersebut tidak dikhaskan untuk tujuan murni , maka pembangunan tidak terkawal ke atas semua tanah wakaf di negara (implikasi kes ini menjadi precedence ke atas semua tanah wakaf lain di Malaysia) memungkinkan ruang komersil atas hartanah yang telah dimajukan dibeli atau disewakan untuk dijadikan pusat karaoke, pusat siber yang ada unsur perjudian, restoran yang menjual makanan berasaskan babi dan minuman beralkohol, spa dan rumah urut, kedai serbaguna yang menjual arak mahupun hotel yang aktivitinya diragui.

Atas amanah untuk mendirikan masjid yang diwasiatkan oleh simati iaitu Hj Abdul Wahab, wajar permohonan rayuan merobohkan masjid (Jamek Hj Abdul Wahab) oleh plaintif iaitu Majlis Ugama Pulau Pinang DITOLAK kerana Majlis tersebut (Mahkamah Kadi Besar Pulau Pinang) dibawah sub subseksyen 40(3)(b) Enakmen Undang Undang Islam Negeri Pulau Pinang 1959, seperti yang telah diputuskan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Pulau Pinang tiada kuasa membangunkan hartanah kerana perenggan i sehingga iv su subsekyen berkenaan hanya membenarkan Majlis Ugama Pulaua Pinang membicarakan hal hal kekeluargaan sahaja.

Penghakiman oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Pulaua Pinang ini jelas tidak memihak kepada plaintif iaitu Majlis Ugama Islam Pulau Pinang yang ingin membangunkan tanah wakaf yang bernilai bermilion ringgit. ( rujuk seksyen 2 dan 3 penghakiman)

Syabas kepada waris simati iaitu En Isa kerana menjuangkan hak waris waris simati, amanat si mati untuk mewakafkan hartanya ke jalan Allah (Fiisabilillah) dan hak orang Islam di Pulau Pinang. Implikasi kes ini besar kerana jika majlis ugama negeri dibenarkan berluasa membangunkan tapak tanah wakaf tanpa hadnya, maka masih adakah orang Islam yang mahu mewakafkan tanahnya?

Penghakiman mahkamah ini dipetik dari blog Ariff Omar Penghuni Gua rujuk disini

Political Marketing, a fad or a trend in Malaysia?

Preamble.

In my previous post, "How to be elected as a parliamentarian in Malaysia" I mentioned the manipulation of a powerful marketing technique called "by the word of the mouth". Also, lately, we notice that Malaysia is catching up with the rest of the western countries when it comes to marketing a coalition party or a loosely grouped parties to the would be voters, in a trend termed marketing politics.

Marketing politics is a trend that has proven to be very expensive in the recent presidential election in United States of America which saw Barrack Hussein Obama Jr. being elected as the first black President. He is reported to shell out a huge amount of money for his presidential campaign.

Is marketing politics a trend or a fad in Malaysia? I bet it is here to stay for a long time...to know my reasoning ..read on!

What is in store for us, Malaysians? General Election 12 on 8 March 2008, the recently concluded UMNO General Assembly, PAS Muktamar and numerous by elections were all clear tell tale signs that Malaysian politics has caught on this trend ..of marketing politics. Lest the Malaysian politicians naively think that they have reached the pinnacle of their career, by attaining the market share in the recent General Election 2008 or by elections, beware, for managing success and maintaining one's market share of voters loyalty is another battle field with new grounds to conquer all together.

The classic war and a favorite Harvard Business School case study between Coca Cola vs. Pepsi Cola or Mercedes vs. Lexus for market share and brand loyalty should be the lesson for these political entity in Malaysia. As aptly put by Mr Aftab, the writer of marketing politics, the ideology, the policy and how members of the said party communicate with the voters from on place to another, or from ethnic group to another does not change...if the political entity is applying good marketing politics. But, if marketing politics is underdeveloped, such being the case in Pakistan, it will lead to political instability and mistrust!. Another point to note is marketing politics involved lots of research, ground works and so forth. The question is, are Malaysian politicians and voters ready for this kind of game?

To know more about marketing politics, read on the excerpt from Mr. Aftab Hussein

Scope of Political Marketinghttp://www.political-marketing.net

Still this subject is in developing phase and need to do a lot to formally recognize Political Marketing as separate subject. In my point of view Political Marketing is highly significant in all countries especially in democrat governments and more especially to developed countries.

Political Marketing is essential for political parties, leaders, government and as well as for general public. Political Marketing brings stability in political culture of a country that in return brings prosperity in national economy at root and gross level. Without Political Marketing or misuse of Political Marketing it is really intricate to better understand public needs and it is so intricate to create and develop good governance in a society.

Visit http://www.political-marketing.net for more details

To better understand the scope of Political Marketing I would like to quote two examples. 1st for the country where Political Marketing is being implement since many years and in contrast to this the another country where Political culture is not developed yet in parties as well as political leaders are not aware about Political Marketing.On 1st hand I will like to quote USA. Where we can see very clear that Americans are implementing Political Marketing since many years in America, before elections the candidates create and develop a philosophy for their election campaign. So they are clear about what they are communicating in their dialogue. At all level their philosophy remains same, their goals, mission and objective does not change, audience to audience and place to place. What ever they communicate for coalition parties or public, in New York or in any other state, the theme of their communication at all level remains same because they are well prepared, we can’t find any contradiction in their speeches, it builds harmony and trust in public. As a result we can see that in America normally election forecasting is done before elections by survey and pools and election result proofs those predictions. Visit http://www.political-marketing.net for more details

On other hand I would like to quote an example of a developing country where political culture is not as developed yet. We can see that in Pakistan there is political instability, political leaders in Pakistan are not well aware about the importance of Political Marketing due to lack of knowledge. There is no research, no philosophy and no proper developed campaign. One leader is talking and communicating other things compare to other leader of same party, even we can notice very clearly that same leader is communicating in different way with different theme and objective on different occasions and at different territories. Its due to lack of research, lack of proper philosophy and agenda and without preparation of any centralized campaign. As a result public don’t believe their promises and other parties get advantage of their contradictions, however we can see instability, lack of trust inside party and no clear vision.If we summarize all discussion and keep in mind both examples its clear that without research, developed philosophy and centralized political marketing and election campaign and theme it is impossible to build public trust and harmony at national level. we must give a direction to political activities to get good results for a better future.

Points to ponder: Building brands on Malaysian politicians.

What comes to mind if I mention the political brand of "Ibrahim Ali" or "Zulkifli Nordin"? We perceive them as being politicians with high integrity, one who steadfastly uphold a certain principle in life and politics, one that is not easily swayed by emotions nor pressure, come what it may, but one who is positively associated with championing an issue.

What comes to mind if I mention "Nizar Jamaluddin" political brand? It is a sure firebrand, but fast becoming a poster boy for political fiasco. Refer to his antics in Perak State Assembly and the recent Parliament House to know, if this politician can survive the positive branding on Malaysian politician and retain the present market share of voters loyalty.

Ehmm marketing consultant, anyone?
