LET COPS DECIDE, SO SHUT UP PAK LAH! 

Karpal Singh has warned Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his ministers not to volunteer unsolicited comments that may compromise police investigations into PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim’s alleged sodomy offence. The DAP chairperson said in a statement today that he was shocked by Pak Lah’s challenge to Anwar to prove his innocence in this controversial allegation by giving his DNA sample. “It is elementary that under our system of law, it is not the PM who considers the result of an investigation but the police who are required to put up investigation papers to the Attorney-General.

“It is wrong for the PM to publicly challenge Anwar to disprove the allegation of sodomy against him.

“The PM should hold his piece and not publicly direct and influence police investigation,” he said.  Source Malaysiakini

Just because he is wheel-chair bound doesn’t mean he can be push-over. He may be physically handicapped but his principles are not. He will not be silent. He will speak the truth for justice without fear or prejudice. He did not recieve the name “The Tiger of Jelutong’ for nothing! Yes, he deserved to be in the elite company of The Brave One!

Roar Karpal Roar! The rakyat roars with you! The Eye of The Tiger is watching! “It’s the Eye of The Tiger, it’s the cream of the fight  Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival  And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger.”

Eye Of The Tiger

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the cream of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

Risin’ up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

Atlantuya, Lingamgate, March 8 Elections, SAPP, No-confidence motion against PM, Fuel price hike, Food price hike, Inflation, RPK’s Statutory Declaration against Rosmah, Sodomy allegation against Anwar, Balasubramaniam Statutory Declaration against Najib, Bala Disappearance, you blamed me, I blamed you, you accused me, I accused you, etc, and I’m sure there will be a lot more issues to come. There is no way bloggers can stop blogging with all these issues.

I thought I leave you this song Livn’ On A Prayer by Bon Jovi to encourage all of of us in these strange and uncertain times here in Malaysia. That’s all we got at this moment living on a prayer. Prayer that our nation will turn around and come back to it’s glory again. “Whooah, were half way there Livin on a prayer Take my hand and well make it - I swear Livin on a prayer”

Well, as for me I’ll be taking a short tiny break - but not a strike as some bloggers did! Will be back in a couple of days. We take our cars for services. We go for medical check-up. Well, my notebook needs a service and check up too. It will be resting for a couple days. Till then check the sites at my blogroll and enjoy the music and be encouraged.

Livin’ On A Prayer

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy (Thamby) used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike
He’s down on his luck…it’s tough, so tough
Gina (Gita) works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love - well give it a shot

Chorus:
Whooah, we’re half way there
Livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it - I swear
Livin’ on a prayer

Tommy’s (Thamby’s) got his six string in hock
Now he’s holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it’s tough
Gina (Gita) dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy (Thamby) whispers baby it’s okay, someday

We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love - well give it a shot

We’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when its all that you’ve got

The fuel price hike, SAPP proposed vote of no-confidence against the Premier and the recent Statutory Declaration by RPK claiming that Rosmah, wife of Najib was at the murder scene of Atlantuya, etc etc, have not distracted us from the LingamGate case. We have not forgotten! What is happening to the case? Is the government still sleeping on it again? Here is something to remind you that we have not forgotten! By popular demand here it is again, “Lingam’s Devil Curry.”

It started 44 years ago… 

Because of tragedy at birth, Rick can’t walk or talk.

Because of tragedy at birth, Dick can’t play catch with his son.

Because of TOGETHER, they’re an inspiration to the people arond the world.

Dick and Judy wanted a normal life for their son.

TOGETHER they put Rick in a public school.

Rick learned to write his thoughts using a special computer.

When Rick was 15, he communicate with his dad that he wanted to to participate in a five-mile benefit run.

Dick was not a runner but he agreed to push Rick in his wheelchair.

For the first time in his life, Rick didn’t feel handicapped.

So TOGETHER they run

TOGETHER they complete in Marathons

TOGETHER they complete in Trialthlons

TOGETHER they trekked 3,770 miles across America

Rick couldn’t complete without his dad

Dick wouldn’t complete without his son

Dick is the body

Rick is the heart

TOGETHER they run

TOGETHER has power

Don’t run alone

Watch the Video Clips for yourself  -  And to all fathers, “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!”

pete was juggling tomatoes.

bored. so he telephoned a few friends instead. “how about getting together to make an anti-racism song and music video?” all said yes without hesitation. not because pete threatened them with a rusty knife. only because they love malaysia.

the contingent swelled to 52 people a few days later. it included filmmakers, dancers, singers, producers, musicians, actors, entrepreneurs, designers, footballers, activists, celebrities, students and a florist. nobody would be paid. yet they were enthused. not because they were high on speed. only because they love Malaysia.

they gathered to record the song. it had a catchy chorus and was able to induce a mass sing-along. everyone was happy when it was done. they named it ‘here in my home’. then more people joined. the party now included more than 120 people. but the budget remained exactly zero. it seems even the spreadsheet loves malaysia.

everyone turned up for the video shoot. much fun was had and friendships made. video editors went to work after the shoot was done. both the recording and the video would be given away for free. a gift to the nation. from those who love malaysia to those who feel the same.

did you ask what this is all about?

it’s about love.

I’m sure many have seen this advertistment and it brings back memories of our childhood days. It sure did take me back  to the good days when I was that age - and that doesn’t seem so long ago either. Good memories defy time and space. And like the song  says, “it’s yesterday once more - shoobydodada!!!”  

How innocent we were. We have never distinguished friends by their races. In fact, we don’t know or bother to know each other’s race. All we care about are how many ‘guli’ (marbles) he owes me, whose kite is the champ in the sky, who can jumped the highest in our improvised hand-held jumping pole, whose ‘gasing’ (tops) can spin the longest, and which rambutan or jambu or ‘buah cherri’ trees are ready for the pick or steal! We have never quarrel with each other over our race or religion. In our eyes everyone is equal. “It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white.” 

 As we grew older our innocence faded away. Our minds were poisoned by our new surroundings. We were taught by society to see people in a different perspective. From our high school’s classroom to our working place, we secregate ourselves. We learned to build walls around us. We only hanged out with those of the same race and some only of the same religion. We made fun and degraded other religions or races. We became self-righteous and selfish.

Oh those were the days, when we would pulled the turban or our sikh friend, not because he is a sikh or punjabi but just to irritate him. We would laughed at our malay friend when he was circumcised  and walked around with his hands holding up the sarong away from his body. We laughed not because of his religious ritual but the way he walked. When our chinese friend had to knee in front of the house holding a joss-stick till it burns out as a punishment from his parents - we would walked passed him and teased him. We were not poking fun at his culture or tradition - we were simply kids, doing what any other kids would do. Have fun. There is no hidden agenda or motives behind it.

God is no respecter of men. There is no condemnation in God. God made the moon and the sun to shine on the good and bad, rich and poor, black and white. God is colour blind. He created you and me in His image. Let’s keep it that way.

A Legend In The Making - Malaysiakini

Highly controversial and largely influential blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin wrote himself into the annals of Malaysian history today when he became the first blogger to be charged under the Sedition Act 1948.

After a three-hour delay and a switch of courts, Raja Petra finally heard for the first time what he was being accused of.

Clad in a light yellow shirt and blue jeans, the 58-year-old bald-headed writer was charged under Section 4 (1) (c) for nine paragraphs of a story which appeared in Malaysia Today on April 25.

The article allegedly implied that Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife were involved in the killing of Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu. Read the rest of this entry »
