In the name of creativity: 'Sex Video Fiasco'

Nazri dan Lidahnya yang Bercabang

Menteri menjaga Undang-Undang, Nazri, tidak habis-habis berbohong.  Dialah yang mempertahankan APCO, dan menghalau Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Karpal Singh dan Azmin Ali dari Parlimen dengan cara yang jelek.  Sementara musuhnya berada di luar Parlimen, Nazri tidak habis-habis membambu mereka.

Instead of Bombing Dictators, Stop Selling Them Bombs

by Medea Benjamin and Charles Davis

When all you have is bombs, everything starts to look like a target. And so after years of providing Libya’s dictator with the weapons he's been using against the people, all the international community – France, Britain and the United States – has to offer the people of Libya is more bombs, this time dropped from the sky rather than delivered in a box to Muammar Gaddafi's palace.

If the bitter lesson of Iraq and Afghanistan has taught us anything, though, it's that wars of liberation exact a deadly toll on those they purportedly liberate – and that democracy doesn't come on the back of a Tomahawk missile.

Pertahankan Putrajaya walaupun bercerai daging!

Apabila Najib menyeru kepada anggota BN supaya mempertahankan pemerintahan BN walaupun daging bercerai daripada tulang,mungkin ada yang tertanya-tanya apakah maksud nakhoda BN itu.  Kini satu demi satu tindakan ditonjolkan menyusuli slogan itu.

Semasa PRK Kerdau, TPM mempertahankan tindakan sekumpulan samseng yang mengerumuni kenderaan yang membawa DSAI yang sedang berkempen.

Minggu lepas, demonstrasi khas disusun oleh kerajaan BN, dibantu oleh Polis, kononnya mewakili NGO, mendesak DSAI menyerahkan DNA-nya.

Menjelang Pilihan Raya Sarawak, muncul video lucah membabitkan seorang 'pemimpin pembangkang'.  Video itu ditonton wartawan di sebuah bilik terkemuka, tanpa diganggu oleh polis.  Tujuan video itu jelas:  memberi imej buruk kepada pembangkang.

Negara diperintah Samseng

Beberapa hari lepas saya dikejutkan oleh keluhan seorang drebar teksi, yang saya naiki, bahawa Malaysia sedang diperintah oleh gangster.  Satu demi satu contoh dibawanya untuk membuktikan dakwaannya itu.  Saya hanya mengiyakan saja.

Tiba di rumah ayat-ayat yang diluahkan drebar itu bermain-main di kepala.  Saya baru pula terbaca demonstrasi meminta Anwar Ibrahim menyerahkan DNA-nya.  Boleh pulak berdemo, bisik hati saya.  Yang saya ingat vigil lilin beberapa bulan lepas pun disuraikan dengan kekerasan.

Hari ini pula, dikhabarkan ada orang bergelar 'Dato' menayang video lucah di sebuah bilik hotel.  Pemberita dari media diiring seorang demi seorang menontonnya.  Polis nampaknya membenarkan tayangan video lucah berjalan, walaupun komunikasi canggih kini bermakna maklumat telah sampai kepada mereka.  Pada sebelah petang pula, Hishamuddin, menteri yang mengawal polis, pula nerkata polis tidak boleh buat apa-apa jika tiada orang yang membuat laporan teraniaya.  Tayangan dibuat pada siang hari, di hotel terkemuka di tengah-tengah ibu kota, ditonton pula oleh wartawan dari media terkemuka, sedangkan polis buat tak tahu.

Betullah kata drebar hari kelmarin tu.  Negara ditadbir oleh gangster.

Who kills Altantuya?

The murder of Altantuya Shaaribu, was the murder crime of the century, as far as Malaysia is concerned.  A Mongolian model, hitherto unknown to most Malaysians, was murdered in the most brutal way:  she was murdered and her body was blown up to pieces using the infamous C4 explosive.  The court then embarked on a long, tiring journey in order to determine the culprit who gave the narion a very bad name.  The court settled on two policemen despite absence of motives for the crime.  The two policemen have no motives, except probably acting on behalf of someone else.  Who are those someone else?  Najib's aide, Razak Baginda, came close to being implicated, but Najib himself played a role in the whole affair.  That Najib had an interest in the affair was highlighted by his sms message to Razak Baginda. The nation needs to know the truth.

Of Ghosts, Demons and Muhyiddin

Muhyiddin, through another of his ramblings, has shown his trademark of sheer stupidity.  He says the people of Sarawak should 'fend off ghosts and demons coming from the peninsula.'

First, to demonise the people from the peninsula, even just a group of them, is against national integration, and even against the spirit of 1Malaysia, whatever that spirit is.  Second, ghosts and demons are not uncommon in largely rural Sarawak.
