Act 355: ‘PAS taken for a ride by Umno’

PAS being the Naïve villagers could not see that UMNO’s game was to tear apart PAS from PH. Once it was official the PH does not want PAS in their opposition block, UMNO no longer had no more use for PAS. UMNO knows that the RU355 is a poison chalice will drive away the Malay support from UMNO and BN. The Malays whether Urban or rural have no stomach for Islamic law and look at PAS as bush of misfits. PAS now by itself and only have 20% to 30% of the Malay support they received in PRU – GE 14. They will act as spoilers in a few seats Kelantan, Kedah and Terengganu. Total Parliament seats affected are between 15 to 25 Parliament seats.

PAS is only left with memories of a failed romance with UMNO. If only TGNA was alive, he would have seen the bad intentions of UMNO.

PAS is now consign to the dustbin of Politics in Malaysia 

Idiots I told you all so , that UMNO is going to ride and shaft you all. 

YUP that was the PAS camel getting humped  

Act 355: ‘PAS taken for a ride by Umno’

Assoc Prof Dr Jeniri Amir says PAS has reason to be disappointed by BN’s decision to not adopt Hadi’s Bill

KUALA LUMPUR: PAS would be justified to feel that it has been shortchanged by Umno following BN’s decision to abort the tabling of the bill to amend the Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act, or Act 355, said a political analyst.

Assoc Prof Dr Jeniri Amir of Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UniMas) said BN’s about-turn might even force PAS to rethink its strategy as of late PAS had been warming up to Umno.

“PAS will be disappointed…I believe (PAS president Abdul) Hadi (Awang) will rethink the party’s cordial relationship with BN, especially with Umno.

“He will have to re-evaluate PAS’ stand towards Pakatan Harapan,” Jeniri told Berita Daily.

Using a football analogy, he said: “Hadi passed the ball to Umno and then Umno dribbled it to the goalpost but did not score.”

Jeniri believed that the BN decision was good for maintaining harmony in the ruling coalition.

“BN must take into consideration the feelings of Sabah and Sarawak components and also its non-Muslim parties.

“In this move, Prime Minister Najib Razak has shown that he prioritised his allies more than the enemy,” he added.

The motion on the Act 355 amendments was tabled by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang in the Dewan Rakyat through a private member’s bill last year but was not debated.

Recently, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the government would take over the bill and table it although several BN components including MCA said they had not been consulted.

Another analyst Prof Dr Abdul Halim Sidek believed that PAS should just continue with its effort to enhance the powers of the shariah court.

“It started as a private member’s bill, so PAS should just continue.

“I believe that the government refused to table the bill as there is resistance from the cabinet,” said the Universiti Kuala Lumpur law lecturer when contacted by Berita Daily.

Abdul Halim, however, questioned why certain parties are opposing the bill which he said would affect only Muslims.

Former diplomat Redzuan Khushairi also believed that PAS was played out by Umno on this matter.

“It was a scare but most of us always thought it was Umno’s political game, albeit a dangerous one.

“I also believe, not just PAS but Umno too has lost credibility in the process,” said the former Universiti Utara Malaysia academician.

Geostrategist Prof Dr Azmi Hassan, however, said PAS should shoulder the blame for this.

“PAS has been dilly-dallying on its purported cooperation with Umno. Therefore the decision by the government to not pursue the bill will not affect the current status too much,” Azmi said in a WhatsApp reply to Berita Daily..

He said the government felt that it was not beneficial to table the bill but it did not mean that Umno was not supportive of the bill.

The director of Centre for Policy Initiatives Dr Lim Teck Ghee said PAS will not ditch Umno despite this setback.

“It will still be looking to see how it can leverage its present dalliance with Umno to gain extra advantage in the coming election.

“It may want to give the impression that it will be going it alone but this is a charade,” Lim said in a reply to Berita Daily.

Lim said Hadi sees the other opposition parties as big threats to his reign as PAS president and also to the Islamic party’s success in elections.

“It is very clear that Hadi sees the opposition parties, especially Amanah and DAP, and even PKR, as the biggest threat to his leadership and the party’s electoral success,” he said.

After chairing the BN supreme council meeting yesterday, Najib said that the bill will remain a private member’s bill as the government will not adopt it.

Najib said BN made this decision based on the spirit of consensus practiced by the ruling coalition.

NEW BMW 3 SERIES PROTOTYPE SPOTTED, LOOKS LIKE M340I

NEW BMW 3 SERIES PROTOTYPE SPOTTED, LOOKS LIKE M340I

The 3er was once the undisputed king of the small executive sedan segment. But its rivals, especially the German ones, have chipped away some of its reputation in the past two or three years.
At the same time, the small luxury sedan market is shrinking, what with regular models becoming technologically advanced. You can pick up a Skoda Octavia that costs more than the 320d. Likewise, crossover SUVs are eating away at the desires of hard-working business people.


BMW thus needs to bring its A-game with the all-new generation of 3 Series sedan, seen here undergoing winter testing.
Quality is something the Audi A4, and Mercedes C-Class offer in spades, though in different ways. The key areas where the 3 Series needs to fight back are obvious: perceived build quality, a gadget-oriented cabin, and superior body sculpting.
At the forefront of the fight is the CLAR, short for cluster architecture. It’s going to help the sedan shed a little weight. Most of the engine work is already done. However, the Bavarians are going to surprise us at the bottom end of the range.
We’ve heard that both the 316i, powered by the MINI Cooper engine, and the 316d, packing 122 PS of 3-cylinder diesel, will dip below the 100 grams per kilometer mark.
Of course, that’s not what we have in our spy video. With an exhaust design copied from the latest 5 Series, it’s pretty clear that we are dealing with the 340i, although it’s possible that it will wear the M badge, this being the top engine choice below the M3. The six-banger is said to roughly gain the 370 PS output of the M2 and the X4 M40i, which is not surprising at all.
With a 0 to 100 km/h time of well under 5 seconds, the 340i should pack everything a man needs, including xDrive. But that’s not say that the M3 won’t have anything left to do. Our sources say a brand new twin-turbo 3-liter is being developed and will debut with the X3 M. You’re going to see about 450 PS in the SUV and the next hot sedan.

A bit of History - Email Was Invented By A 14-Year-Old Boy from India. It’s Sad That Nobody Remembers Him!!

Email Was Invented By A 14-Year-Old Indian Boy. It’s Sad That Nobody Remembers Him!!

A 14 year old Indian-American boy invented email. This might be a surprising news for you but believe us that we are equally sad about the fact that hardly anyone knows about his invention or remembers him.
It’s hard to believe but VA Shiva Ayyadurai, made one of the most noteworthy inventions in the world history of technology. 32 years ago, a mere 14 year-old, invented a means of communication that we use even today

On 15 July almost two years ago, ‘Beyond Concepts Advertising & Designing’  posted a piece of information about VA Shiva Ayyadurai  when the email completed 32 years of existence.
Here is what they wrote:

“Email turned 32 yesterday. But how many of us know that, VA Shiva Ayyadurai an Indian-American scientist invented Email when he was just 14.
Ayyadurai was born to a Tamil Family in Bombay. At the age of seven, he left with his family to live in the US. In 1978, aged 14, he developed a full-scale emulation of the interoffice mail system which he called “E-mail”. It replicated all the functions of the interoffice mail system: Inbox, Outbox, Folders, Memo, Attachments, Address Book, etc. These features are now familiar parts of every email system.
Studying at Livingston High School in New Jersey, Ayyadurai began his work on the email system for the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He closely observed that the desktop of each secretary, in addition to the typewriter, had an Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Carbon Copy Paper, Folders, Address Book, Paper Clips (for attachments), etc, which they used each day to create and process incoming and outgoing mail.
Then he conceived an electronic version of this system. He created a computer programme of over 50,000 lines of code, which electronically replicated all the features of the interoffice mail system. On August 30, 1982, the US government officially recognized Ayyadurai as the inventor of email by awarding him the first US Copyright for Email for his 1978 invention. Yet his name is nowhere in modern history of computer science. Whoever claims the invention, Ayyadurai will remain the father of E-mail. Hope he gets the name in history he deserves.”

The great inventor yet nobody knows about him. No matter what people knows he is one of the great inventors in the history of computer science. He gave us an outstanding technique that changed the way we communicate!

‘I WAS SODOMIZED AT AGE 6’: SON OF MALAYSIAN MP REVEALS HIS ORDEAL

PETALING JAYA: Child sexual crimes can happen to anyone, even to the son of an MP.
Ahmad (not his real name), 23, was sodomised by a stranger at the age of six. Sadly, his father still doesn’t know that it happened

“As I was growing up, my father was so busy that we would only call or message him when there was something serious or something that wouldn’t take much of his time,” he said.
“When (the abuse) happened, my father was on his way to becoming an MP, so my mother and I didn’t want to distract him.”

“I know he should know what happened, but I cannot stand the idea of him feeling like this was his fault for being too involved in work and if he hadn’t been too busy he could have prevented it.”

Studies show that one in 10 children will experience some form of sexual abuse before they turn 18. For girls, that number could be as high as one in five.
Like many other child survivors of sexual abuse, Ahmad did not make a police report, and only told his mum what had happened years later.
“We didn’t know what to do. It was 2007 and this was a rare and stigmatised issue, so the only people who knew what happened are my mother, sister and grandmother,” he said.
Ahmad only realised what he experienced was sexual assault when he watched the movie The Kite Runner at the age of 12. He then confided in his mother, who blamed herself for weeks.
“I had to sit in my room pretending I didn’t hear my mum crying and praying for forgiveness,” said Ahmad.
“It was so hard the first time; I don’t think I can go through it again (with my father).”

Ahmad is currently finishing his degree in university and hopes to graduate with first class honours.
While Ahmad’s father has not pledged for R.AGE’s MPs Against Predators campaign, Ahmad is confident his father will support the Sexual Offences Against Children Bill 2017.
“Generally, an MP’s job is to serve the people in his area, but this time he can do so much more than just serve his constituency,” said Ahmad.
“This Bill is the start of something big. Previously, our laws weren’t focused enough on the children.
“I’m very happy that my dad is an MP and I hope he will pledge for the campaign.”

Ahmad credits R.AGE’s investigative documentary series Predator In My Phone for highlighting the urgency of addressing child sexual crimes.
“(Predator) showed that sex pre­dators are now brave enough to invite a child into a hotel,” said Ahmad.
“What happened to me took just five minutes, and for other children, that’s all it will take for the predators to do what they want and leave.”

Two Innocent Lives Were Taken Away When A 4WD Driver Avoided A Cow’s Carcass On The Road!!!

Two Innocent Lives Were Taken Away When A 4WD Driver Avoided A Cow’s Carcass On The Road!!!

It’s really saddening to see innocent people getting robbed of their lives due to other’s reckless acts.

On March 29, two Pahang students were killed on the spot when a 4 wheel drive came head on with their bike. NST reported that a Toyota Hilux driver crashed into the two 17 years old teenagers when the driver was trying to avoid a cow’s carcass that was on the road at KM55 of Jalan Temerloh- Bandar Jengka.

The teenagers were identified as students of SMK Jengka Pusat 1, Zharfan Najwan Zainal Abidin and Muhamad Daniel Iman Muhamad Faizal. The incident was said to have taken place at 6.45am according to Maran district police chief DSP Mazlan Hassan.

“The accident is believed to have occurred when the (driver of the) Toyota Hilux steered to the right upon seeing the carcass, before colliding with the victims in the opposite lane.”

The 4WD driver was said to have escaped the whole ordeal unhurt. May the souls of the young boys rest in peace

EVEN FROM THE GRAVE, TUN RAZAK CONTINUES TO DESTROY MALAYSIA – THROUGH HIS WORST LEGACY – SON NAJIB RAZAK

Last March 11, 2017, would have been Tun Razak’s 95^th birthday. He died in 1976, his sixth year in office and two months shy of turning 54. On April 3, 2017, his son, Prime Minister Najib, will enter his ninth year in office.
Najib seems so different from his father. Or is he? Is Najib a reflection of his father? Just to pose that question is to commit secular blasphemy in Malaysia. Many Malaysians, Malays in particular, revere the Tun. He was buried at the Heroes Mausoleum at Masjid Negara. The country’s first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, Bapak Merdeka (Father of Independence), was buried in the state and very provincial capital of Alor Star

“Many” does not mean all. Among non-Malays, excluded from the largesse of Tun’s landmark New Economic Policy (NEP), memories of him are less charitable.
As a young surgeon in Canada in the 1970s I came across William Shaw’s glowing biography of Tun Razak. He was a legend at Malay College, a scholar-athlete par excellence. He breezed through his law studies, completing it well before his scholarship term ended. He could have been a successful lawyer there or have a lucrative career with one the many colonial firms.
Instead he chose to serve his country. He could have been the first native Governor of the proposed and subsequently-aborted Malayan Union. He was a rising star destined for great heights. Yet he gave all that up to join the fledgling UMNO, and with that, a very uncertain future. UMNO then, very unlike today, had no plump GLC directorships or lucrative government contracts to dole out.
Tun’s story as spun by Shaw inspired me to return. Then just days after I landed, the news of his unexpected death in London. Sudden and shocking! I was devastated. So too was the country
Razak’s legacy is NEP, and of course Najib. As for Najib’s, it’s too early to tell. This much however, is indisputable. He has burdened Malaysia with a humungous debt to be borne for generations. The full liabilities are not yet known. With most in foreign currencies and with the ringgit fast becoming worthless, those debts would only get worse. Crippling cuts to hospitals and universities are just the beginning.
Also indisputable is this. America’s Justice Department has filed its largest asset forfeiture lawsuit under its corruption and money laundering laws. “Malaysian Official 1,” aka Najib, is alleged to have siphoned off a staggering US$3.5 billion from 1MDB. Singapore has already convicted some of the culprits. Together with Switzerland, Singapore has also shuttered the banks involved.

Najib is both corrupt and incompetent, a lethal combination. Now desperate to hang on to power, Najib adds a third and volatile mix–religion. He regularly sports white jubbah and kopiah, a la the Bedouins. He unabashedly apes his predecessor in leading congregational prayers, an imam wannabe, with camera crew in tow of course. This from a man with Bill Clinton’s sexual proclivities but minus the compensating intellect.
Those desert accoutrements are harmless, more juvenile. Far more dangerous is his cavorting with extremist Islamists. Earlier, Najib exhorted UMNO Youths to emulate ISIS. Now he eggs on PAS Hadi with his mischievous RUU 355, the so-called Hudud Bill. In plural Malaysia, that is playing with religious fire, a potential hell on earth.
Razak too co-opted PAS following the 1969 race riot. While he acted from strength, Najib is from weakness. Make that desperation. These observations on Najib prompted me to reassess my hitherto hero, Tun Razak, spurred by the village wisdom, Bapak borek, anak rintik. Literally translated, frizzled roosters having spotted chicks; idiomatically, like father, like son. We do not become the characters we are out of nowhere. Our parents in particular shape, influence and develop our beliefs, morals, and assumptions.
As a kampung youngster back in the 1950s, I remember Minister of Education Razak exhorting Malays to send their children to the newly-established Malay secondary schools. Many fell for his sway, dis-enrolling their children out of English schools. The consequences of that initiative, and his education policies generally, are now plain.
I was a temporary teacher at one of those new Malay secondary schools back in 1963. I was appalled at the atrocious quality of the textbooks and the total lack of preparation for the new system. As a consequence, generations of Malay children paid and continue to pay a terrible price for Razak’s folly.
My saddest moment visiting the old village today is seeing my former English school classmates whose parents had switched them into the new Malay stream. They are stuck in the kampung; their education had failed them. Their only comment on seeing me was, “Your father was wiser than mine!”
What was my father’s wisdom? We should not listen to what our leaders say, rather follow what they do. What did Razak do for his children? He sent them all to English schools, and in England to boot! Hypocrisy would be too mild a term for that!
Today his son Najib is asking Malaysians to be frugal and civil servants not be corrupt. Laughable! Many in UMNO today are taking my father’s advice. They don’t listen to him but follow what he does! While Najib, his family, the Lows and a few of the highs like that Goldman Sach bonds salesman get hundreds of millions if not billions, those UMNO kutus are satisfied with a few devalued ringgits and some leftover contracts as rewards for their sucking up to Najib. Malays are not mudah lupa (forgetful lot), rather mudah puas hati (easily satisfied).
Returning to the shock of his death, Razak hid his lethal cancer from his family and country for years. Even his last desperate flight to England seeking medical treatment was undertaken in an elaborate ruse. A leader not trusting his people. Razak deceived not only Malaysians but also his loved ones.
Our Prophet(pbuh) counselled us to lead a life as if we would live forever (meaning, plan long term), but be prepared as if you will die tomorrow (keep your affairs in order so as not to leave a mess). Razak failed to prepare his young family as well as the nation. With five young sons, and a wife unprepared, that was the height of paternal irresponsibility.
In his memoir, Tunku lamented how Razak went through elaborate machinations to topple Tunku, or at least forced him to resign following the May 1969 riot. If only Razak had been straightforward and confided his wish to Tunku, he would have stepped aside sooner. There was no need for Razak to undertake those dirty, unseemly backroom maneuvers. Despite being comrade in arms for over a quarter of a century, Razak still did not take Tunku in his confidence.That was Tunku’s assessment of Razak’s character.
There is a picture of a young Razak in a Japanese Imperial Army uniform. His apologists spun that as his being a ‘secret agent’ for the British! Only with imminent Japanese surrender did he switch sides. There should be a special word to describe such Benedict Arnold duplicity. “Coward” and “traitor” would not do justice.
Young Razak was no Lieutenant Adnan. He wore his Malay Regiment uniform with pride defending his Tanah Air against the Japanese. Adnan gave the ultimate sacrifice; a wira sahih (genuine hero).

Note the parallel between Razak’s Japanese uniform and Najib’ Bedouin trappings. Najib also has a political father. Mahathir mentored Najib and more than just greased his ascent. Najib is Mahathir’s most obscene legacy. The redeeming grace is that Mahathir now recognizes his error and is desperate to rectify it. It must pain him to spend his retirement years on this onerous but necessary dirty duty.
Muslims believe that Allah punishes us in this world to spare us a more horrible one in the Hereafter. That belief is a salve to our current travails. As to what awaits us in the Hereafter, only He knows. That aside, I pray for Mahathir’s success, not for his salvation but Malaysia’s.

As for Razak, may his soul rest in peace. His early demise spared him the agony of witnessing what he had bequeathed unto Malaysia through his oldest son, Najib Razak.
