Gasbags a plenty in the MIC

This huge GAS rally is nothing but GASS, a bunch of gasbags trying to fool the oft fooled Indian Community who can't see where their bread is buttered, or maybe where the sambar and chutney are for their Thosai.

It is the inherent vacuum being created by Samy's exit that they intend to fill, they know the crowd are in a mood for change and they want to capitalise from this change to get maximum advantage and sadly this is the typical BN political hype and has been so for a very long time, we've seen it in UMNO, the MCA and now in the MIC. This is getting to look quite MCAish after the Ong Tee Keat debacle.

In the other Barisan parties it is a race to become millionaire extraordinaire, by selling your community to UMNO and racial politics.

This is Malaysia we should have no room for Indians, Chinese and Malays, only Malaysians, and that is how our political landscape has to be carved, that is the only way we shall progress, to do it we have to rid ourselves of the UMNO, the MCA and the MIC first.

Just take a look at what these gasbags are saying, V Subramaniam, more popularly known by the name Baratmaniam, blasted Samy for the loss of RM9 million of RM10 Telekom shares that were meant for the Indian community in 1990, and raised the MIED scandal, which is an Institute meant for the community and not one individual.

V Govindarajoo a veteran MIC leader apologized to the crowd for having brought Samy Veloo into MIC, he is reported to have said, “I've felt very sorry. Samy has betrayed the community and the nation. He did this not only to MIC, but MCA and Umno as well. I was the one who introduced Samy to MIC, and now, he must step down and get out,”

The sacked CWC member KP Samy, addressing the audience, alleged Samy Veloo to be the cause of the downfall and economic deprivation of Indians.

Mugilan claimed that RM5 million had been spent to stop people from attending the GAS rally, implying some rough hand tactics used to stop members from attending, and even saying a member could have been kidnapped.

The anti climax of the whole issue was when Mugilan asked the government to give Samy Veloo a "Senior Position" if he steps down, for all he has done the government should contemplate arresting him and not rewarding him.

That is this Muluigan, and he is aspiring to be a future MIC leader will anyone ever have him besides some ignorant Indians in this country, made ignorant by the BN government and the MIC. Like UMNO these people thrive on making the rakyat ignorant.

Samy deserves to be kicked off, and MIC deserves the only next best thing - to be cast into the dustbins of Malaysian political history for good.

GAMBLING UMNO'S "OPIUM FOR THE MASSES" - HALAL OR HARAM?

We were at this "Kopi Thiam" at the 3rd mile in Old Klang Road, a predominantly Chinese populated district in Kuala Lumpur where one would guess you'd find the type of people who would gamble on anything including football, and of course the World Cup.

At the next table there was this group of Chinese, 3 ladies and 4 men and they were in a serious conversation, there was a lot of anger and excitement in the tone, then they would look around, see us and tone down. My friend Kevin Lai, was eavesdropping and he would smile every now and then till at last he burst into laughter.

That made all those in the next table stop their conversation and look at him for a while and then one of them a lady, noticing that the rest of us weren't Chinese, said "oh! kita cakap itu main judi punya hal, football!!" judi then they all laughed.

I turned to that lady and asked how does one bet on football matches, and she replied, "jangan!!~ jangan!! ini judi, ini ada hantu, you akan mati kalau you main judi ini macam. Ya betul habis "World Cup" you bankrupt!!!" betul dulu saya punya abang pun jadi bankrupt sekarang dia tada wang suda lari, Ah long cari dia"

I smiled, and nodded.

Kevin later told us the whole conversation dealt with the football gambling license the government is to issue to a gambling company in Malaysia and that all of them at the table were against it, I was surprised, these were 7 Chinese Malaysians, all Chinese speaking, and in Old Klang Road of all places, things are changing, I mean attitudes and values most of all, I thought.

Gambling is a social illness, and if Vincent Tan thinks that Malays do not gamble, I'll take him to one of his very own Toto outlets and show him the countless Malays who join the queue there to bet on Wednesdays, weekends and during his special draws, my motor car mechanic has a shop just next door to it, so its not only that Malays and Muslims do not gamble, and that Chinese are the only gamblers in town. The outlet does nothing to stop them from buying, its only a notice in one corner of he shop that says that Muslims are forbidden to place bets there.

Many a Chinese realizes that gambling is a disease, it robs them of their hard earned wealth, and it enriches the corrupt. This very Government collects the dues from the so called, "Special draws." Many especially from the poorer strata of the society have had experiences within the family.

If the problem is illegal gambling, then the government must take measures to stamp this out. As it stands currently there are too many licensed gambling outlets in Malaysia, with too many days of gambling. People tend to gamble more then they can afford and get into all kinds of problems.

In the last two years I had to sack a few employees who began staling company money to repay gambling debts, and in all cases it was tied to a certain licensed gambling companies in the season when the jackpot gets attractively high, or to the other that offers some kind of membership to visit the place and gamble.

Now the Jackpots gets higher there is more then just one game that purportedly pays in the millions, and these poor souls who get hooked go from one outlet to the other to place their bets.

In Magnum there is the Jackpot which can go as high as even 30 million, to win the jackpot you have to predict two of the first three prizes correctly, the odds are huge and in simple mathematical terms impossible, but there a systems to be played and that will pinch the extra ringgit off you.

In Toto, the original 6 of 49 has been replaced, with three games offering bigger returns, and the lottery from Pan Malaysian pools has a jackpot that runs into double digits as well in the millions.

All these outlets are within walking distance from each other, take time off on a Saturday and stand by these outlets and you'll get to see the punters move from one outlet to the other for their 4digit bets,their big jackpot bets and what have you? Genting and all the slot machines in clubs which is now fast becoming the monopoly of just one individual.

The Government should stop giving us the lame excuse that it is to stem out illegal gambling, the government should be determined to stamp out gambling and it should begin with stamping out illegal gambling, there is already enough legal gambling for the government to now look at an excuse to give Vincent Tan or for that matter anyone else another gambling license. It seems so easy for this government to walk away from a responsibility and choosing another evil to replace an existing one, the two wrongs make one right principal, the kind of BN solutions.

These licenses are wretched fronts to fulfill other items on a greater agenda to enslave the people, it has to stop, and it is not only from the Muslim that this call comes from it comes from all sectors of our Malaysian society with the exception of UMNO and its lackeys.

The surprising factor is that UMNO that claims to champion Islamic causes seems to be silent about this issue altogether with their partners in the Barisan. Aren't UMNO members all Muslims, and how come a greater virtue of others calling God Allah, became an issue to threaten and confuse Muslims whilst this gambling issue is left to continue?


So is there a BN agenda behind this license??? And is the illegal gambling only an excuse to pull wool over the eyes of the rakyat?

That lady at the "Kopi Thiam" in 3rd mile and her 6 friends are one of the many responsible Malaysians who can see through the evil of gambling, they may not be able to see the scheme behind this if indeed there is one, but i think it will anger them sufficiently to keep the DAP there.

Don't tolerate me, Don't ask me to compromise my rights, respect my right to use the word Allah

In view of the latest on the Allah issue I feel as a Malaysian I have to voice my opinions on the issue.

The first Malaysian Malay/Latin dictionary was published in the 17th century, 1631 to be precise, which contains the meaning of the word Allah, and the use of the word in the Malay Language which now referred to as the Bahasa in Malaysia goes back to the 17th century. Why the Latin dictionary, because Latin was then the language used for Catholic Masses throughout the world.

The judgment made by Justice Lau Bee Lan, was clearly written without any ambiguity , the judgment was based on our constitutional rights and herein lies the entire issue.

You can't claim to tolerate me when I exercise my constitutional right, you have to respect the proviso of the constitution that allows me to use it. The next word that is commonly used by UMNO is compromise. The constitution reins supreme and there is no compromise on Constitutional rights too. This compromise and tolerance has allowed UMNO to bulldoze all the races and religions of this country to achieve their selfish aims.

In East Malaysia we have 900,000 Malaysians who are Christians, they have been using the word Allah for a very long time, even before joining the federation. Their Bibles mostly brought from Indonesia contained the word Allah, and just in case there is an argument over language here, the only two original words in the Bahasa are Tanah and Air, everything else is either coined or borrowed and so too the word Allah.


Allah is God in Arabic and it predates Islam, it is the same word used in all Arab speaking countries to refer to God by all religions.

Allah became an issue here because some UMNO politicians decided to make it an issue. My Muslim friends used to be overjoyed by the fact that I used to refer to God as Allah, or when I said Insya Allah (God willing), now it is a something I am forbidden to do. My classmates in London, in 1972 taught me this word they were Palestinians, Libyans, Iraqis and Egyptians, they taught me the word Insya Allah. We used to eat at a Jewish sandwich shop near the school, and they used to tell me off for eating there although they used to eat there, I later found out that they ate there because they had no choice and Jewish food was considered Halal. I had a choice so they did not want me eating there. Their eating in the Jewish shop was a compromise.

Now we are hearing the words compromise, and tolerance being flouted on all corridors of the nation, and not because it is the right thing but because some politicians know they have made a huge mistake.


Whilst this cry for tolerance and compromise go on there is intimidation, more churches are being fire bombed and our Royal Malaysian Police are having a gala time, without a single arrest. There is no will to arrest, the Prime Minister himself had given the green light to demonstrate, and they had no say in the matter.

My right to use the word Allah is something that cannot be taken away, it is a right, it is enshrined in the constitution, nowhere in the Quran does it say, that we can't use that word, this is the creation of UMNO, it is not Islamic, they have made an issue of Islam which is not Islamic. The word Allah itself predates Islam.


Don't tolerate me or for that matter do not ask me to compromise, on the contrary respect my right under the Federal Constitution to use the word Allah.

May Allah bless this nation.

The GST next and what after the GST?

In marketing there is a term referred to as the "greed factor." This is what marketeers drive (the greed factor) in order to a entice their target customers, and the people usually targeted when it comes to fast moving consumer items is what Malaysian product managers refer to as the "Aunties," the middle aged and older housewives, especially those who are at liberty to spend the fortunes of their husbands.

Now our politicians are no exception, they have their, "aunty aunty" all at home as well, and from very humble beginnings after their spouses enter politics either in the State assemblies or Parliament they have huge disposable incomes and as a reuls these "auntie auntie" become the biggest the biggest spenders of all time in Malaysia.

The bad part of course is most of the time they do not spend their own money but rather the money of the rakyat, gained by all dubious means, and this is in essential income for this breed "aunty aunty."

I have heard of one "Big Auntie" not that she is tall and fat, but she is rather short and a quite a bit weighty especially along an below the waist and has a rather 'Botoxed' face who is the queen of big spenders. On a private trip to a countr yin the far East she even asked her host " bila nak pergi shopping?" as she got bored of all the vistis to "places of Interest."

A Menteri Besar is being investigated for allegedly having moved 10 million ringgit to London via a moneylender. Bank Negara is believed to be probing this Menteri Besar. the national bank has foundit fit to probe the Menteri Besar, however the MACC is rather silent about it.

The irony of the whole issue is that the MACC jumped into aaction on a mere allegation of an unidentified person on a blog, to detain and question the Selangor State Government which is a Pakatan Government, and has remained quiet on an allegation made by a Member of Parliament in Parliament about this Barisan Nasional Chief Minister an done can only draw the conclusion that this was done because he is from the same party as that which forms the Government of the country.

This clearly shows how this government itself is involved in corruption, the coffers must be running dry, the avenues to make such money are becoming scarce and is the the reason why they need to tax the rakyat by implementing the GST?

There is a huge attempt to cover up the PKFZ scandal, the very fact that the PM has decided to handle the affair is already reason to believe that this issue is bound to be covered up.

Almost all Malaysians know the persons concerned in this scandal, most Malaysians also know that the third force in the MCA's recent EGM was maneuvered by persons involved in the PKFZ scandal and it was a desperate and deliberate attempt to cover up the scandal. The MCA being the second largest partner of the Barisan the PM has decided to go and handle this scandal so that he can keep the crooks safe from exposure and prosecution and save UMNO and the BN all the embarrassment.

Issues about this scandal an how the government lied when it pleaded ignorance about aspects of this scandal were proven to be untrue when the minutes of an earlier cabinet meeting showed that the cabinet was fully aware of all that was happening only goes to show that this government is corrupt and will go to any length to protect the corrupt. So much so when the cabinet minutes surfaced the PM who denied knowing the facts and was present at the said cabinet meeting, instead of apologizing to the people, threatened to get the police to arrest those responsible under the Official Secrets Act.

One wonders if the Altantuya case will now be classified under the Official Secrets Act.


How on earth did the Negeri MB come into 10 million ringgit is a huge question. What on earth happened to the billions, beginning with the BMF scandal, where the then PM was offended with the then Auditor General for questioning his wife, regarding certain issues regarding that BMF scandal, and one wonders why he got angry if he was not involved?

Where did the millions that belonged to the association of the wives of the Selangor State Assemblymen go to. Why was Khir Toyo not investigated for the millions he spend to get to Disneyland? What happened to the millions he spent to build a house? Why is the Federal government preventing the State Government of Selangor from declassifying documents that were marked official secrets, when these so called secrets will in fact benefit the rakyat who have been misled by the authorities? What happened to the late railways gate keeper turned millionaire, by joinin gUMNO and the BN?

What happened when the Idxxt Mahathir Mohammed tried to corner the world tin market,and not only got his nose bloodied, but lost millions of Malaysian Ringgit that was not his, how was that concealed. His stupid actions caused the collapse of the tin market and forced industry to look to other alternatives and the demise of our Tin industry. That move of his, as the head of the BN and the head of UMNO then led to the troubles in Perak today.What used to be the richest state in Malaysia is now almost the poorest. Zambry should take on Mahathir to get compensation for the state, but he won't after all they are both not Malays, they are Indians masquerading as Malays.


What happened to the millions that went into individual pockets by way of the lucrative timber market where timber concessions were given to all an sundry in the BN. Unprecedented and unwarranted extraction of timber, the rape of the land, is contributing not only to climate change, but to world wide lobbies now to boycott our Oil Palm, and worst still to what looks like the extinction of an ethnic Malaysian race - The Penans.

There are the bailouts of so called Bumi Companies including some which belong to the sons of Mahathir Mohammed, the PKFZ scandal, and so much more than we can ever imagine that that if all this is checked and not allowed to happen we woudl not have to look at a GST to keep this country afloat.

We shall get to pay GST, that is the cost of our indifference, that is for sure, that is on top of the Income tax we already pay, that is on top of the import tax we already pay, that is on top of excise duty that we pay on cars,and that is a considerable sum, that is on top of all the other duties levied on goods, and we shall pay them.

This draws my attention to a letter that was once circulated claiming that at a famous fast food outlet the Malay clientele were not charged service tax whilst the non Malays had to pay for it, is there a similar modus operandi in place?

I hope the Government levies more taxes, on the citizens, that will be the essential catalyst we need to knock UMNO out.

Appeals court upholds Malaysia woman’s caning for drinking beer

A Malaysian First, a Najib first, an UMNO first.

Posted: 05:44 AM ET

(CNN) — An appeals court has upheld the caning sentence of a Malaysian woman for drinking beer in public.

The Sharia, or Islamic, court did not set a date for the flogging, the Bernama national news agency said Tuesday.

If carried out, Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno will become the first woman to be flogged in the southeast Asian country for drinking alcohol out in the open.
Kartika has said all along that she wants the sentence to be carried out, even as the country’s new Prime Minister Najib Razak asked her not to willingly accept it.

The case was automatically sent up for an appeal. The court made its ruling Monday, Bernama said.

Kartika was scheduled to undergo the caning in late August, but Malaysian authorities abruptly postponed it until the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Her case — which stems from a 2007 incident in which she publicly drank a beer — has attracted international media attention. There are concerns that if the sentence is carried out, it could tarnish the image of the moderate Muslim nation.

Najib, the prime minister, said the government could not question religious matters because they are under the authority of the Syariah (Sharia) Court.
Malaysia has a dual-track justice system, in which Islamic courts operate alongside civil courts.

An Islamic, or sharia, court in the eastern state of Pahang had fined Kartika — a Muslim — $1,400 (5,000 Malaysian ringgit) and sentenced her to six strokes with a rattan cane for drinking at a hotel bar two years ago.

Kartika, a 32-year-old part-time model and mother of two, was visiting Malaysia from Singapore at the time.

She pleaded guilty, paid the fine, and wanted her caning to be carried out in public.

She said she lost her job as a nurse in Singapore and took up part-time modeling to support her husband in raising their two children. Her son has cerebral palsy; her daughter a heart condition.

Muslims — who make up about 60 percent of the 28 million who populate the country — are forbidden from consuming alcohol. Other religious groups are exempt.

Time for the Tamils to break loose

"The Naan Tamilan nee Tamilan attitude has to be discarded now!!!"

Yes it is time for the Tamils to break loose, break loose from the shackles of MIC and the many Indian politicians who claim to represent the "Indian Cause" including HINDRAF and it's Hindu Rights Party.

The  "Indian cause" these people talk about is in India maybe but not here and no one in this country really represents that cause for the good of the Tamils.

If there is a Tamil cause it is the cause of one individual or another who uses it and for some of the  Tamils who support him for his own cause.

The real Tamil cause in this country is to be less Tamil (Indian), and be more Malaysian.

When a Malay uses the work keling it is taboo to all Tamils, I realise the Malay will not tolerate anyone saying something about his race, it is taboo and he will not have it, the entire race will not have it.

The Malaysian Tamil has to go to other countries where Indians have gone to in similar circumstances as they were in Malaysia and see the difference.

The Trinidadian Indians are not afraid to own up to their indentured labour status, they say it with pride, because from those beginnings they evolved into a force in that country made up of Europeans, Syrians, Chinese and Africans, they play a major role in the economy and government of that country, they never looked inward they were Trinidadians first and last, they are proud of their heritage but ask them what they are and they'll say it loud, "Trinidadians."

Take a look at the South African Indian, who was subjected to apartheid rule, he does not know his roots, he'll tell you maybe Madras, he's not really sure, it does not matter anymore, because as far as he is concerned he is African. there are the Fijians, the East Africans, the Hong Kong Indian community, the communities of Indians in other parts of the world who have pride of place, they do not see themselves as Indians first,  and those who do not make it are those who'd still cling on to their roots, and if you are one such person go back, go back to India.

The Malaysian Tamil has to be more Malaysian and less Tamil, more Malaysian and he must integrate. To do so he has to shun the Tamil School that is the root of Indian marginalization, it is there plainly because it serves the interests of the Indian politician, the Samy Veloos, the Subramanaims and the Uthaykumars, without it these people have absolutely no power, it is because there are Tamil schools that issues of marginalization arise and the Indian politician thrives at the expense of the Tamil educated Indian in Malaysia.

Tamil schools in this country lack the excellence,  the underprivileged Tamil school student requires to be  pulled  out of the doldrums. It is bad enough that these children come from very difficult backgrounds, their parents most of whom do not even understand what good education is all about have hardly any time to focus on eduction as bringing food to the table for these underprivileged children is the priority.

This is the breeding ground of Indian politics, this is the advantage the Indian politician sees to enrich himself, the middle class Indian who enters the fray with a sincere intention to serve is fast side tracked with some land grant, or some other material incentive and his direction immediately changes, he gets sucked into the web of the opportunists, or he moves out and wants nothing to do with the system.

The answer lies in getting rid of Tamil schools, teach Tamil as a language in schools where there is a sizeable Tamil student population, or take Tamil language classes elsewhere if the Tamils are really keen on their children learning the language in preference to everything else, take a lesson from the Sikhs, they teach their children Punjabi.

Finish the Tamil schools, and finish the MIC and other Tamil based political parties and the Tamils will be far better off being Malaysian first and Tamil second with the "Naan Malaysian nee Malaysian" attitude.

We are on the road to a great victory!!!

MIC &MCA to nail the BN coffin.

If this BN Government thinks it has intimidated us and is winning the psychological war against the PR governments wa it had better think again.

MIC's Samy Velu sweep is a step in the right direction, it is now abundantly clear that with the little band of stooges that Samy has in the MIC he can never win, Subra's defeat is a victory for the people, all UMNO puppets need to be put in the closet, and the entire group of BN parties are nothing more then UMNO puppets. The puppet show is failing to attract the crowds it once did.

The Malays see through UMNO now, the billions made by the top UMNO brass is only enriching the UMNOPUTERAS and not the ordinary Malay. UMNO top brass are becoming billionaires at the expense of the ordinary Malay, what was supposed to be channeled to them via the NEP was stolen from right under their noses and placed in the pockets of the UMNOPUTERAS.

That will explain why the sons of Mahathir, Tun Razak, Hussein Onn and the son in law of Abdullah Badawi are still on the top part of the UMNO hierarchy, so this plunder in the name of 'Malay rights' can continue unabated, and the poor Malay told all kinds of stories about other races threatening his survival.

It is the same story with he Indians and the Chinese, UMNO has allowed the Malay to think that all Chinese are rich, and are getting richer at the expense of the Malay, and that is the furthest thing from the truth that one can imagine, the MCA tells the Chinese they'll loose all their rights and privileges unless the MCA is present in government and that too is a blatant lie, MIC of course has the biggest Champion Samy Velu who keeps the Tamils ill informed by his classic "Tamil Schools education programme,' set up by the British to propagate Indian labour, and now the tool of the MIC.

This is the reason UMNO has a big stake in the MCA game, Ong Te Kiat will expose a huge scheme to enrich MCA heads and this is not good for UMNO, the secrets of its greatest attraction in the puppet show will be made public and that will kill the entire show, so after all these years and after all the noise, the Police have got int the act of investigating the PKFZ scandal, and we know what the Malaysian Police are capable of. I am sure Detective Bala is still fresh in our minds, and we all know only too well who carried out that operation, I am told there is a movie being made in India called the, "Missing Witness," and Detective Bala has agreed to tell his story, and it is to be made with some of the great Indian and Indonesian actors and actresses. The Indians because they have got fed up with the 'Cow incident', and the Indonesians they have made no secret of their ill feelings with this UMNO led BN government.

The detective Bala story has already been written by a famous Malaysan blogger, and the script has been sent to India for editing.

Will PKFZ files go missing, will questions be left unanswered, the current investigation is not over and the Police have taken over, will evidence before the present investigators be taken away so that some MCA bigwigs of yesteryears are allowed to keep their loot. Ong Tee Kiat is an embattled MCA head, he really is and he may not last the test of time, he is not in the interest of UMNO.

The sudden twist in the temple fiasco created by UMNO men in Shah Alam whre they are now being charged is only to draw the Indian and Chinese vote in Bagan Pinang, there the total Chinese and Indian vote outnumbers the Malay vote, and to attract the entire Malay vote an outcast of UMNO is being considered, and he in turn want's his son to be nominated. Remember what I said earlier abou the children of Mahathir, Tun Razak and Hussein Onn? now at the state level we see the MBs playing the same game, its called nepotism, in Malay Umnocracy.

The current BN government has decided to only come out and whack the Pakatan Rakyat Governments black and blue and in the process ( I must agree with Samy Velu on this score) are creating all the problems for the MCA, the MIC ad the Gerakan.

Go Najib go, at the rate you are going and with idiots at the helm, a Toyol, some idiots who probably bought their law degrees, or who were given the degrees so they'd get out of England, and hold high positions in your cabinet will help our cause.

Najib Tun Razak has begun the campaign called, "UMNO self destruct," and on that score we will have to support him.

In passing Children's day is soon approaching, what on earth happened to the Pingat Hang Tuah. The medal of valor given to a Malaysian child each year recognizing him as a the "Child Hero of the year."

Hang Tuah the Chinese hero of the Malays, has suddenly disappeared, disappeared because UMNO suddenly found out he was a Chinese and that fact does not fit in its puppet show.

Uighur, UMNO Afraid of China?

ئۇيغۇر


UMNO NEEDS TO STATE ITS STAND
The issue of the Uighur homeland, Turkestan is an older issue than the Palestinian problem, it spans centuries, why isn't UMNO making a firm stand? Are they afraid of the Chinese Government, or have they become slavishly beholden to this country.

Have they - UMNO, compromised our independence by some of their actions? Remember that even before Najib visited China recently to reenact his fathers visit to China, ( that was his his father's bid to mend relations with the Malaysian Chinese for his major role as the architect of May 13 1969, which was then and now no secret with the Chinese>. Remember Altantuya's transit Immigration records between Mongolia, China and Malaysia went missing too. Was this a formal arrangement? Did that arrangement compromise our independence, if that was a compromise with Najib than surely our independence has been compromised.


What you see above is the flag of Uighurs, a Turkic people from Eastern Turkestan today called Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region under the rule of the Peoples Republic of China.

The territory was renamed Xinjiang (which means "new territory" in Mandarin ), soon after invasion of the Dzungars by the Chinese of the Qing dynasty. An estimated one million people were butchered and the land so laid to waste that it took almost whole generation to recover from the savageries of this brutal attack.

In 1920, nationalists Uighurs had already began their struggle against the post Qing warlords controlling Sinkiang. The Turpanese poet Abdulhaliq, having spent his early years in Semey and the Jadid intellectual centres in Uzbekistan, returned to Sinkiang with a pseudonym that he later styled as a surname Uighur. He wrote the famous nationalist poem Oyghan, which opened with the line, "Hey poor Uighur, wake up!". He was later murdered by the Chinese warlord Sehng Shichai in Turpan in March, 1933 for inciting Uighur nationalism through his works.

Uighur independence activists staged several uprisings against post Qing and Koumintang rule, and in 1933 and 1944, the Uighur successfully regained their independence twice and proclaimed the East Turkestan Republic.

In 1949, after the Chinese Nationalists lost the civil war in China, East Turkestan’s rulers did not agree to join The Communist Peoples Republic of China, led by Mao Dze Dong.

A plane crash planned by the communist Chinese killed most of the East Turkestan’s supreme leadership (reminds me of a similar incident many years later in Sabah which killed Fuad Stephens), almost immediately the Chinese then marched on East Turkestan, supressed the East Turkestan army and after stiff resistance conquered the territory, reestablished the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region and appointed the East Turkestan under secretary Saipidin Eziz the first Governor.What remained of the East Turkestan army was 'absorbed' into the Peoples Liberation Army and the government officials of East Turkestan subsequently 'absorbed' into the Chinese Communist party (CCP).

Although concessions were made by the CCP many loyalists fled to Turkey and other Western countries from where they staged anti-CCP activities in an effort to restore their independence, this effort continues to this day.


The people of Eastern Turkestan are the Palestinians of China, they are Muslims as well, some of them have been here to Malaysia, some of them may have event spoken to UMNO members, I am certain some of them have studied with Malaysians overseas and have told their story, they do not look like the Chinese, and today they are considered to be Chinese by the Chinese Government to legitimise their occupation.

They Uighurs are demanding their independence, taken away from them in 1949 by Mao and the CCP, instead, the Chinese Communist Government is sending huge numbers of ethnic Han Chinese into the region to neutralize this independence struggle. The Uighur are desperate, they seek support of all nations, more then 250 of their men have been arrested at the onset of Ramadan this year after the recent unrest in the region, to be tried by Chinese courts, the question now asked of Najib and the Malaysian Government is; What is our stand, why have you been so quiet, these people have been suppressed for centuries by the Chinese, theirs is not an issue as new as the Palestinians, why is it their struggles are being overlooked, is it because this Government is afraid of the Peoples Republic of China, or is it there is too much to gain economically? Or are we dictated at by other nations?

This UMNO led government can't adopt double standards, they have to come out in the open and state their stand, and looking at the history of this land there can only be one, and it has to be loud and clear, our unconditional support for the Uighur homeland and Independence, even if it means it has to be carried to the UN, by us. Malaysia can lead this via the OIC.

Why have we remained silent for so long? Najib must make public this stand.
Are we afraid of the Chinese? Has our independence been compromised?
MERDEKA!!! MERDEKA!!!! MERDEKA!!!!!!!

The Teoh Beng Hock inquest letter?

Is this the letter handed by Gobind Singh Deo to the court? Take a look.

Anything that is Public domain is no longer a secret, this letter is on many blogs, I think we should all know its contents. Click on the link below.

The Mystery Letter from MACC officers


l
