Murder and abduction shatter peace in Pom Pom, East Sabah.
Reported front page of The Star Saturday 16 Nov 2013: un identified intruders shot a 57-year-old Taiwanese tourist dead during a raid on Pom Pom Island, an idyllic resort off Sabah. They abducted his wife, 58-year-old.,
Notice that 8 policemen in a boat, not a speedboat as admitted weakness by the director-general of Esscom. Above pic.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the security situation in Eastern Sabah was not under any threat following the murder of a Taiwanese man and abduction of his wife off the Pom Pom Island resort.
Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib said the crimes could have been committed by criminals and not any known armed group, including the Abu Sayyaf.
He said the gunmen gained entry into one of the six stilt chalets through the toilet window, after which they shot and killed the husband, probably during a scuffle..
"The resort's guard, who heard the shots, ran to inform the General Operation Force base about 800m away." he said, adding that the chalet was still locked from the inside when the police found the body with two gunshot wounds to the chest and four empty bullet casings.
The base is among those under the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom), set up after the Feb 12 Sulu intrusion in Kg Tanduo in neighbouring Lahad Datu.
Lahad Datu, Esscom director-general Datuk Mohammad Mentek said no ransom demands had been made so far.
He admitted that there were still some weakness in security in the area, including the lack of speed boats.
Mentek said it was not easy to provide security cover for all areas in Semporna, which had over 40 islands in close proximity with islands belonging to the Philippines.
On Nov 14 last year, 2 men who were cousins were kidnapped from their family-run bird's nest house in Lahad Datu.
One of term was able to escape by unshackling himself with a fork after being held captive for nine months on Jolo Island.
He was separated from the cousin who fell sick.
Last month, his highly decomposed remains was brought into Sandakan by unknown villagers from Sounthern Philippines.
You may read more concerning Esscom which supposed to ensure security from the link below.
What a surprise that police are short of speed boats admitted by Mentek, Esscom director-general.

The fight for justice for Altantuya and Mongolia is a national concern and certainly your men need to be told by you Sir that it is harbors on national security. Surely your senior advisors in the Cabinet should know.

After the Allah decision, Putrajaya in futile bid to salvage Malaysia
Stopping a low-circulation weekly from using the word Allah or confusing practice with propagation has turned Malaysia into an international joke as far as religious ties are concerned.
Trying to cover it up with more assurances is even more comical, if not sad.
The reality is that the government has decided it can regulate the words used by worshippers of any faith, without considering how futile that can be. But that is what politics is all about, the art of the possible. – October 17, 2013.

Allah judgement seriously FLAWED & must be CHALLENGED - Tony Pua
The long-term impact of the above decision by the Court of Appeal is well beyond just the issue of the Church's use of "Allah". Firstly the Court had given itself the power to make discretionary judgements not on the basis of the Constitution and the law passed by the Parliament, but by the judges own personal viewpoints and bias. Secondly, the Court trampled on the rights of the minority by endorsing the oppression by the majority as well as to give discretionary and absolute pre-emptive powers to the Minister for actions against anyone deemed to be "wrong".

Their actions reflect the hypocrisy of the Barisan National government.

Extortion in Democracy
We are, the people are the rightful owners of our nation.
We must rise to take ownership.
Do not allow a few corrupted leaders to manipulate their ways!
Extortion means forcing someone into giving you something through threats. A bully who tells kids he'll beat them up if they don't give him their lunch money is guilty of extortion.
Extortion in our Democracy comes in all forms.
It can comes in 3Cs:
Con you,
Confuse you,
Condemn you.
Please do not fear the bullies. Their days are numbered. We can hasten it by unitedly do the work of nation building. Contribute in whatever ways like gather people gearing up for Bersih 4.0, give infor from online media to Malay friends .
Threats can come in different forms too.
At time subtlely.

I marvel why BN use so much money to bribe people to vote and not doing the right thing to put a stop of corruption which will win votes.

PM also vowed to make corruption a part of Malaysia's past and not its future. I hope he really means what he says and start to do it.
For a start to make all government tenders to be open!
Next is that he can lead his cabinet by declaring his assets!
Does he means what he says ?
Wait and see !
Dear PM,
We , the people want you to take action, action, action. Not talk.

How Lee Kuan Yew sees Malaysia in 20 years' time
(By TAY TIAN YAN/Translated by DOMINIC LOH/Sin Chew Daily)The Bumiputra affirmative action policy has destroyed one generation of Malays .... they don’t know how to be competitive. The sad thing is that they don’t realized that the longer they keep at it, in the ultimate long run .... they are "killing" themselves. The day of reckoning will come and history will be re-written on how Malaysian fore-fathers failed the nation. The intent may be good, but the execution and policy has been a disaster.Share LKY's view and I know this is what UMNO wants! (remember the keris waving?!) Then they can have everything and no need to share - and then they can fight among themselves!The clear and present dangerIf the Doomsday prediction never comes true, New Zealand will remain as picturesque after a hundred years, with cows and goats roaming all over the country sparsely populated by humans.A hundred years later, Singapore 's foundation will remain rock solid. The tiny city-state will continue to lure new immigrants, and many new-generation Singaporeans will see their lineages traced back to those of migrants.How about Malaysia a hundred years from now? Lee Kuan Yew did not seem to see things that far. He only set his sight 20 years later. He said all constituencies in Malaysia would be dominated by the Malays in 20 years' time, and the leadership in this country would value the Chinese population less and less.The Chinese population would continue to slide, he added, not because of the pathetically low fertility rates among the Chinese in this country, but because those who could afford would have sent their children overseas, who would decide not to come back."And those migrating to Malaysia will be from Islamic states, making the country's Islamisation inclination more and more pronounced."Statistics don't lie, and the current political and social ecosystems are not here without a reason. MM Lee's predictions are by no means novel. But his well-thought remarks have touched the hearts of many a Malaysian.If this is what the country should look like 20 years from now, we can imagine Chinese Malaysians to be like apes in a forest sanctuary a hundred years down the road, where we need to sharpen our eyesight to carefully scan through the entire swathe of forest before we can catch a glimpse of one or two of them.That comparison is, most certainly, exaggerated, but I really hope we will not be reduced to a rare species by then. The ratio of Chinese population in this country has been on steady decline over the decades; so has their political status here. Very soon, they will be completely engulfed by the powerful waves of aggressive Islamisation.This is the pessimistic side of the outlook of their destiny. But Chinese Malaysians cannot afford to go on this way, and wait helplessly for such a destiny to befall them. They have to take the initiative to accentuate their own strengths and be in firm control of their own fates before they can divert such a predestination.The next ten years will be key to the future destiny of Chinese Malaysians. If the country's policies get more and more ethnically-oriented and religiously inclined, the future of Chinese community is well within our imagination, and Chinese Malaysians will exit the country in droves.On the other hand, if community-centric ideologies get diluted, conflicts between mainstream and minority races get thinned down, the common Malaysian identity gets consolidated, and the spirit of secularity stays very much relevant, then Chinese Malaysians will have a much more promising future here. So will Malaysia.Whatever happens to this country or our society, the most important element for new-generation Chinese to secure a place in this land, will be their very own competitiveness. In this age of globalization, when national boundaries are increasingly obscured, people will find a greener pasture beyond our shores if our internal conditions remain this bleak.We cannot afford to talk about what will happen to us a hundred yearsfrom now. We need to buck up and fight for our near-term opportunities.Meaningless and unnecessary squabbles, like the one currently taking place within MCA, will only serve to bog down the pace of the Chinese community further, blurring their vision of the clear and present danger.What the Chinese community urgently needs right now is high-caliber and farsighted leadership, not one engrossed with endless infighting.(By TAY TIAN YAN/Translated by DOMINIC LOH/Sin Chew Daily) MySinchew
People's Tribunal wraps up
The People's Tribunal on the 13th General Elections has concluded it's five days hearing after receiving 70 statutory declarations and hearing 49 testimonies of the Malaysian public.
Closing submission was presented by Professor Gurdial Singh Nijar yesterday, 27 September 2013.
A free and fair, a level playing field is intrinsic to all human beings. It is the will of the people who want one person one vote with the same weight.
People want a genuine election where their will are represented in choosing representatives of their choices.
How has the 13th GE been conducted?
The People Tribunal found that there have been lots of irregularities, manipulation and frauds.
The 49 testimonies attesting to irregularities and manipulation of different types namely in the area of:
1. Election law
2. EC
3. Electoral roll
4. Gerrymendering
1. Election Law. The Law gives overwhelming
power to the EC (Election Commission) where there are areas which cannot be contested in the Court of Law. In other word, some grievances cannot be reviewed because the Law is all for EC, whatever their decision, it is final.
For example, I quote "The decision of the returning officer shall be final and conclusive for the purpose of the election in respect of which the proceeding are being held, and shall not be called in question in any court" (Elections Regulations 1981, 7 (5)).
Another example, the electoral roll after being published shall be final and binding and shall but be questioned or appealed against in, or reviewed, quashed or set aside by, any court. (Election Acts 1958 9A).
2. EC
We have heard testimonies how EC have not acted professionaly and in a non partisan way. The EC Press statements had been bias and they spoke as though they were Government servants.
3. Electoral roll
The whole process of the election had lots of irregularities.
To begin with the electoral roll had leave much to be desired. We heard testimonies where there were 60 names in one house. Many names without complete address. Addresses that did not exist.
4. Gerrymandering is of the worst order. there are the people in the same Taman, even same house but voting in 2 different constituencies. There were even many cases that EC has delineated the constituencies by drawing the boundaries across the bed separating the family, even rehusband and wife.
If there was a fair and free contest, PR would have been the new government.
The questions that are repeatedly asked: What to do next? Will there be any use?
If there is no level playing field, we are afraid we will be back to square one in the 14th. GE.
Now we are waiting for the Panel of the Tribunal to give us its report and suggestions what to do next. It had been given 3 months to do it. That will be in December 2013. We will take it from there.
