10 Nov: Saya tetap akan turun!


Suara rakyat akan kembali ke Dataran Merdeka Sabtu ini apabila puluhan ribu rakyat Malaysia akan melaksanakan hak demokratik meeka untuk berhimpun secara aman menuntut perubahan sistem pilihan raya negara.

Desakan kami kepada kerajaan untuk melaksanakan perubahan ini tidak diendahkan. Mereka telah mengabaikan tanggungjawab untuk memastikan institusi demokrasi di negara kita dapat berfungsi dengan baik. Maka rakyat Malaysia menuntut dari Raja-Raja Melayu untuk memastika kerajaan Malaysia melaksanakan amalan asas bagi pilihan raya yang telus dan adil sebagaimana dilaksanakan di demokrasi moden di seluruh dunia.

Bukti penipuan cukup jelas dan lengkap. Skandal kehakiman terbaru membabitkan bekas Ketua Hakim Negara Tun Ahmad Fairuz menunjukkan seluruh jentera kerajaan telah disalahgunakan untuk melindungi dan memelihara kedudukan pimpinan UMNO.

Media bebas telah menerbitkan analisa yang cukup mendalam tentang kesan penipuan termasuk penggunaan pengundi hantu dan tekanan terhadap pengundi. Seramai 40,000 undi haram telah dikenalpasti di Selangor sahaja bagi Pilihan Raya Umum 2004. Dalam 12 bulan kebelakangan ini, kami mempunyai bukti bagaimana pengundi yang dikira menyokong pembangkang dipindahkan keluar dari daerah-daerah di mana sokongan UMNO lemah.

Jika Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya yakin dengan ketelusan pengurusan pilihan raya, mengapa mereka tidak membenarkan pemantau antarabangsa untuk masuk ke negara bagi memerhati dan melaporkan proses pilihan raya kita? Mengapakah tawaran kerjasama oleh badan antarabangsa dan serantau tidak diendahkan atau ditolak?

Saya mendesak pihak berkuasa untuk menghormati hak rakyat unuk berhimpun secara aman.

Saya mengalu-alukan inisiatif Bersih (Gabungan Pilihan Raya Bersih dan Adil) kerana menganjurkan perhimpunan aman ini dan saya menggesa semua rakyat Malaysia untuk turut serta dalam acara bersejarah ini. Rakyat Malaysia berhak mendapat sebuah kerajan demokratik yang boleh dibanggakan dan kita mesti bersedia untuk berjuang mencapai matlamat tersebut.

The voice of the people will return to Dataran Merdeka this Saturday as thousands of Malaysians will exercise their democratic right to peaceful assembly to demand reform of the electoral system.

Our appeals to the government for these reforms have fallen on deaf ears and as such it has abdicated its responsibility to safeguard the democratic institutions of the nation. The people are therefore appealing to the Constitutional leaders to request the Malaysian government to adopt the basic characteristics of transparent and fair electoral practices that are practiced by modern democracies around the world.

The evidence of fraud is comprehensive and it is damning. The latest judicial scandal involving former Chief Justice Ahmed Fairuz shows that the entire mechanism of the government has been abused to illegally protect and preserve the position of UMNO leaders.

The independent media has published in depth analysis of the impact of the fraud including the systematic use of phantom voters and voter intimidation. As many as 40,000 illegal votes have been cast in the Parliamentary elections for a single state, Selangor, in 2004. In the last twelve months, we have documented proof of opposition votes being shifted out of districts where UMNO support is weak.

If the Electoral Commission is confident in the integrity of its management of the electoral process then why not allow international monitors into the country to observe and report? Why have the offers of assistance by regional and international bodies been ignored or rejected?

I urge the authorities to respect the people’s democratic right to peaceful assembly.

I commend Bersih (the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections) for organising this peaceful assembly and I urge all Malaysians to participate in this historic event. We Malaysians deserve a democratic government that we are proud of and for that we must be willing to fight.

    UMNO survives through deceit. A clean electoral roll means the end of UMNO. Thus, its opposition to this gathering and it will do all it can to prevent it. May God bless the people.

    DSAI,

    in the bad old days, if the serfs demonstrate in front the Istana, the hulubalang would have used their “lembing” and “keris” to charge against the serfs …

    today, in a modern so-called democratic system, you must first of all get a permit to assemble in a crowd of 5 or mroe people …

    otherwise, instead of the raja2, the Prime Minister or his SIL , will ask the hulubalang called the Police to disperse the taxpayers, & voters …..

    BTW during the times of Khalifah, Sultanates of Umayyah, Abbasiyyah, Uthmaniyyah ie. those practicing NON-HADHARIC Islam, do the Muslims have to get permits or were they not allowed to assemble ….

    10 November : Kebangkitan dan Keberanian Rakyat Untuk Selamatkan Malaysia

    Oleh : Mohd Ezli Mashut
    LL.B ( Hons)
    ezli007.blogspot.com / ezli007@hotmail.com

    Jangan Takut dan gentar kepada semua rakyat Malaysia. Kita semua berada di pihak yang benar dan pejuang kepada perubahan secara total di bumi Malaysia. Amaran demi amaran untuk menakut-nakutkan kebangkitan rakyat merupakan tindakan paling bacul dan penakut. Rakyat bangkit bukan kerana atas emosi atau anti establisment tetapi rakyat bangkit kerana mahukan perubahan secara total ke atas sistem demokrasi di Malaysia.

    Kita bangkit untuk menyatakan sokongan padu dan taat setia kepada Yang Di Pertuan Agong. Malahan kita berhimpun secara aman juga kerana hendak merapat sembah kepada YDPA. Mengapa parti pemerintah harus menghalangnya. Bukankan ini satu penderhakaan kepada YDPA. Apa salah rakyat untuk berjumpa sendiri kepada institusi tertinggi negara. Malahan perhimpunan ini secara jelas bersesuaian dengan kehendak Artikel 10(1b) Perlembagaan Negara yang memberikan kebebasan rakyat Malaysia untuk berhimpun secara aman.

    Dipihak rakyat ini merupakan satu-satunya pilihan yang ada untuk menyatakan pendirian secara terbuka. Media massa yang diharap untuk menjadi jurubicara di pihak rakyat dilihat di rantai dengan ketat oleh parti pemerintah. Tidak hairan mengapa indeks kebebasan media Malaysia merudum jatuh. Semangat demokrasi yang sebenarnya di Malaysia telah lama mati dan berkubur. Justeru kebangkitan dan keberanian rakyat amat dituntut untuk melepaskan negara daripada rantai yang telah lama menghantui sistem demokrasi di Malaysia.

    Pasca selepas Perhimpunan 100,000 Rakyat Malaysia di Kuala Lumpur dan beberapa buah bandaraya di seluruh dunia adalah diharapkan pihak Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya melaksanakan tuntutan yang dikemukakan. Diperingatkan SPR bekerja untuk rakyat Malaysia keseluruhannya bukan hanya menjadi agen pelaksana parti pemerintah yang tidak segan silu untuk merobek hak demokrasi rakyat Malaysia. Hanya melalui perubahan sistem pilihanraya yang lebih adil dan telus maka suasana demokrasi yang sebenar dapat dilaksanakan.

    Malahan pilihanraya itu sendiri perlu digantung untuk beberapa ketika bagi membolehkan satu rombakan besar-besaran dilaksanakan. Malahan YDPA mempunyai hak untuk tidak bersetuju jika Perdana Menteri mengumumkan untuk mengadakan pilihanraya pada masa terdekat ini. Campurtangan Majlis Raja-Raja adalah dituntut kerana ini adalah satu-satunya pilihan bagi rakyat untuk perubahan demokrasi di Malaysia.

    Kehadiran rakyat Malaysia daripada semua lapisan amat penting kepada survival demokrasi di Malaysia. Kegagalan kita pada hari ini untuk menuntut perubahan secara total demokrasi Malaysia akan menghantui generasi akan datang. Maka kesannya juga akan melahirkan rakyat Malaysia yang tidak lagi peduli kepada bangun dan jatuhnya sesebuah negara. Oleh itu bagaimana boleh diharapkan Malaysia hendak menjadi negara maju pada masa akan datang dan bagaimana generasi akan datang untuk membina sebuah tamadun ummah sejagat.

    Kepada gerakan mahasiswa, ini adalah kesempatan terbaik anda untuk belajar bagaimana menggerakkan kebangkitan rakyat. Era kelesuan gerakan mahasiswa juga wajar diganti dengan era baru gerakan mahasiswa yang boleh menjadi jurubicara rakyat yang tidak mempunyai apa-apa kepentingan. Penyertaan mahasiswa akan menyemarakkan lagi tuntutan perubahan kepada sistem demokrasi di Malaysia. Mahasiswa juga adalah sebahagian daripada rakyat Malaysia yang patut bangkit untuk menyatakan hak dan pendirian.

    Salam keamanan ditujukan khas kepada pasukan keselamatan negara khususnya PDRM. Anda adalah benteng keselamatan rakyat Malaysia dalam negara. Perhimpunan 10 November adalah perhimpunan aman rakyat Malaysia. Professionalisme anda akan dihakimi dan disaksikan oleh masyarakat antarabangsa. Jika ada berlaku tangkapan oleh Polis di pihak rakyat Malaysia yang berhimpun secara aman imej professionalisme anda akan tercalar teruk. Malahan jika pihak polis berjaya mengawal dengan baik perhimpunan ini imej pasukan polis akan naik serta-merta pada pandangan rakyat yang mana ketika ini keyakinan rakyat terhadap polis jatuh merudum.

    Salam persahabatan juga ditujukan khas kepada anggota pasukan tentera udara, darat dan laut. Undi pos yang selama ini menghantui hak kebebasan anda untuk memilih juga wajar dihapuskan. Sokongan padu daripada anggota keselamatan untuk menghapuskan undi pos amat penting agar hak anda sebagai warga keselamatan yang banyak berkorban kepada agama , bangsa dan negara dihargai sepenuhnya. Kebangkitan suara daripada pihak anggota keselamatn juga amat penting demi menjamin sistem demokrasi negara utuh da terjamin.

    Salam barakah ditujukan khas kepada semua alim ulama, ustaz dan kiyai. Doa anda semoga semua peserta dan anggota keselamatan dilindungi daripada sebarang bahaya dan anasir-anasir yang merosakkan. Pimpinlah kami rakyat Malaysia semuanya ke jalan yang benar dan doakan kesejahteraan dan keamanan negara Malaysia . Mengambil iktibar apa yang berlaku di Mynmar di mana para sami sanggup menaruhkan nyawa untuk memimpin rakyat ke jalan raya terhadap ketidakadilan junta tentera wajar diperhatikan.
    Salam bicara juga kepada semua barisan peguam-peguam di Malaysia. Keberanian anda berarak di Putrajaya telah membuka mata rakyat dan dunia antarabangsa. Malahan keberanian anda sekali lagi dituntut untuk menjadi pembela rakyat Malaysia dan suara demokrasi. Keberanian para peguam di Pakistan berhadapan kerajaan tentera amat mengujakan. Di Malaysia juga keberanian para peguam tidak pernah dipertikaikan malahan dipandang tinggi di mata rakyat Malaysia .

    Kepada rakyat Malaysia semuanya pada 10 November ini ayuh kita gegarkan dunia dengan laungan DAULAT TUANKU ! DAULAT TUANKU ! DAULAT TUANKU !. Semoga kedaulatan rakyat Malaysia dapat dikembalikan.

    DSAI saya ada terbaca satu artikel mengenai DSAI mengatakan DSAI seorang pemimpin yg hanya banyak main isu sahaja tetapi sebenarnya semuanya satu pembohongan sahaja. DSAI main pita 8 minit itu hanya utk timbulkan isu yg tidak tentu benarnya. Mengapa DSAi sendiri menghantar video 8 minit tu da bukan BPR yang ambik buktikan keikhlasan DSAI. Satu lagi mana video 14 minit yg mendakwa kononya nama DSAI ada disebut. Pemerhati politik ada engatakan prinsip politik DSAI sering berubah2 dan tidak teguh dengan satu prinsip dan sentiasa mengikut khalayak dan kaum apabila berbicara, bak kata org dunia politik DSAI akan berkubur selepas pilihanraya ini kerana rata-rata org ramai tolak PKR. Saya rasa DSAI akan berehat selepas ini kerana ini ialah pilihanraya yerakhir buat DSAI. Kesian DSAI kepingin jadi PM tapi Allah lebih besar perencanaannya.

  12. 12 aho_onn Nov 8th, 2007 at 8:02 pm

    masing2 sungguh berkobar2 untuk turun sabtu ni……. nak berhimpun tak salah…tapi jgn sampai ade keganasan…hancurkan harta benda awam… FRU tak akan ambil tindakan if kita tak provok mereka…

    Unity and Diversity

    Dr. Muzammil H. Siddiqi gives an Islamic perspective on diversity, unity, harmony, tolerance and peace in a speech delivered at the Annual Banquet of Interfaith council of Westminster, Garden Grove and Stanton on May 5, 2001 at the LDS Church in Westminster, California.

    I believe that it is possible to have unity with diversity. In the world in which we are living today, and it is rightly called “the global village”, we cannot imagine having unity without diversity. It is not only that people in different parts of the world are diverse, but now we have a lot of diversity in our own cities, towns, indeed in our neighborhoods. People who live next door to us are often very diverse in colors, cultures and religions.

    I am pleased that in USA there are many people who are thinking and exploring ways and means to develop a society where people of diverse faiths and cultures can live together in peace and harmony. American democracy is built on the principles of unity in diversity (E pluribus Unum). To a great extent we can say that in modern times United States presents a fairly good example of such unity in diversity or what is called today as pluralism.

    As a Muslim I must say that we appreciate these efforts and we support them, Our religion Islam gives much guidance on the subject of diversity, unity, harmony, tolerance and peace. I thank you for inviting me to share with you some of my views on this issue from an Islamic perspective.

    Diversity:

    Islam teaches us that diversity is a fact of nature and it makes the nature beautiful. God has created this whole universe with diversity. God says in the Qur’an:

    See you not that Allah sends down rain from the sky? With it We then bring out produce of various colors. And in the mountains are tracts white and red, of various shades of color, and black intense in hue. And so amongst men and crawling creatures and cattle, are they of various colors. Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge: for Allah is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving. (Fatir 35:27-28)

    There is diversity among human beings. They have variety of genders, colors and languages and multiplicity of races and tribes. These diversities are considered natural and are called “God’s signs” in the Qur’an (30:20-22). They are indicative of God’s creative power and wisdom and are good and healthy since they endow human life with richness and beauty. God wants human beings to derive benefit from this diversity and not to allow it to generate unhealthy schisms and divisions in their ranks. God says in the Qur’an:

    And from amongst His signs is this that He created you from dust; and then behold you are humans scattered far and wide. Among His signs is this that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between you. Verily in that are signs for those who reflect. And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the variations in your languages and colors; verily in that are signs for those who know. And among His signs is the sleep that you take by night and by day, and the quest that you make for livelihood out of His bounty; verily in that are signs for those who hearken… (30:20-23).

    The diversities of races, families and tribes also have a healthy and constructive purpose, viz. that “you may know each other”. In the words of the Qur’an:

    O people, We have created you from a male and a female and made you into races and tribes so that you may know each other. Surely the most honored of you in the sight of God is the one who is the most righteous of you” (49:13).

    Instead of enabling human beings to know each other better, there is no reason why these diversities should create barriers, or cause animosities among human beings.

    In addition to these natural diversities there are others that are part of the human societies and cultures. There are diversities of viewpoints. The Qur’an recognizes the individuality of each human being as well as the individuality of their groups and communities.

    …To each among you have We prescribed a Law and an Open Way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single People, but (His plan is) to test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute. (al-Ma’idah 5:48)

    Islam does not consider all viewpoints correct or of equal value. However, it is also the fact well recognized in Islam that very often the differences of opinions (ikhtilaf) are also a token of God’s mercy. If God had so willed, says the Qur’an, He could have forced people to come together to one point, but he did not do so. God did send His Prophets and Messengers from time to time so that the right path might be made clear through them. As regards the final judgment as to who followed the truth and who did not, that will be made known on the Day of Judgment by God Himself. In keeping with this principle, God forbade His Prophets and the believers from having recourse to coercion in religion. “There is no compulsion in religion”, said the Qur’an (2:256).

    Unity:

    Unity is also the need of human beings. But unity is not the total negation of diversity. Unity in Diversity means to explore and enhances common values that emphasize interdependence, equality, justice, human rights, and the sanctity of each individual’s dignity. The goal should be to further a unified vision and recognition of the principle of “unity and diversity” and of the fact that we all are fellow-citizens of an emerging global village. We must try to build a more inclusive community grounded in respect of differences based on age, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, culture, political affiliation and national origin.

    What is a common denominator between the revival of historical grudges and armed conflict in the Balkans, the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Kosova and the alarming increase in the number of racial assaults in Western Europe? What formal relationship, if any, exists between extremist or supremacist groups around the world? What is causing genocide in Chechnya, the daily violence in Israel, constant clashes in Kashmir and troubles in Indonesia and other places? Is there any link between the violence that targets individuals and communities in one country and discrimination against some races, colors and religions in another country?

    The only immediately available answer is intolerance and the lack of respect for diversity. Intolerance causes economic injustice, political double standards and social oppression. Intolerance is on the increase in the world today and it is killing human beings on a massive scale. Intolerance raises many moral as well as political and economic questions. Intolerance is a major threat to peace and security. This issue is alarming many governments and the public.

    Intolerance ignited most wars, fuelled religious persecutions and violent ideological confrontations. But the question is: Is intolerance inherent in human nature? Is it insurmountable? Can tolerance be learned? How can communities and states deal with intolerance without infringing on individual freedoms? How can they foster individual codes of conduct, without harsh laws and without policing people’s behavior? How can peaceful pluralism, multiculturalism or unity in diversity be achieved?

    The UNESCO principles on tolerance say:

    “Consistent with respect for human rights, the practice of tolerance does not mean toleration of social injustice or the abandonment or weakening of one’s convictions. It means that one is free to adhere to one’s own convictions and accepts that others adhere to theirs. It means accepting the fact that human beings, naturally diverse in their appearance, situation, speech, behavior and values, have the right to live in peace and to be as they are. It also means that one’s views are not to be imposed on others.”

    The respect for diversity comes when we recognize four important principles:

    · the dignity of the human beings,

    · the basic equality of all human beings,

    · universal human rights

    · fundamental freedom of thought, conscience and belief.

    Islam recognizes all these principles. Sometimes people ask the question about Jihad. Why is there Jihad in Islam and what does that mean? Let me explain this briefly:

    1. The word Jihad does not mean “Holy War”. It means struggle. Struggle on the personal level and struggle on the social level. Struggle to do good and struggle to remove injustice and oppression. Struggle could be spiritual as well as social, economic and political.

    2. Qital (or military warfare) is permissible in Islam, but only when other peaceful means such as dialogue, negotiations and treaties fail. It is a last resort and should be avoided as much as possible.

    · Its purpose is not to convert people by force, or to colonize people or to acquire land or wealth or for self glory.

    · Its purpose is basically defense of life, property, land, honor and freedom for oneself as well as defense of others from injustice and oppression.

    3. Basic rule of Qital in Islam are:

    · Do not begin the hostilities. Work for peace as much as possible.

    · Fight only those who fight, no collective punishment, non-combatants should not be harmed. Weapons of mass destruction should not be used.

    · Stop hostilities as soon as the other party inclines to peace

    · Observe the treaties and agreements as long as the enemy observe them.

    Islam teaches zero tolerance for injustice, oppression, and violation of the rights of other human beings. It has no tolerance for genocide. God says in the Qur’an:

    “And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed) ? Men, women, and children, whose cry is: “Our Lord! rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!” (4:75)

    In order to promote unity in diversity:

    1. Other cultures and religions should not be misrepresented. Educational institutions and media outlets should be held responsible not to propagate or perpetuate hate against any group of people and their recognized faiths and values.

    2. Tolerance must be practiced on all levels: individual, groups and states. It should be a political and legal requirement. Tolerance is the responsibility that upholds human rights, pluralism (including cultural pluralism), democracy and the rule of law.

    3. There are several levels of tolerance. But I want to emphasize two levels here in:

    i. Tolerance between the members of the same community and same religion. As we are aware people of the same religion have differences of interpretation and understanding. Although they have common sources, common principles but they do vary in their interpretation due to various reasons. Here we need inter-community dialogues and building of relations to minimize contradictions and inconsistencies in our thinking or behavior.

    ii. Tolerance between the people of different faiths and cultures. Here we need interfaith relations and dialogues. Of course we have core differences in our religions but we must try to understand each other. As we learn about our own faith traditions and communities, we should also learn about others. Someone rightly said, “Understanding others changes us.” By understanding we learn the areas of commonalities as well as differences. We can learn the nature of differences and the extent of differences. We must look what kind dialogues could be of value, and what issues are most in need of respectful dialogue in these times. What concerns for the well-being of others should drive our efforts to reach common ground for action. Each group must encourage and facilitate shared responsibility to create a more sensitive and welcoming environment for our diverse groups.

    Islam and Muslims, unfortunately, are still the target of stereotyping and misrepresentations. The United Nations’ Commission on Human Rights last week adopted a resolution expressing its deep concern regarding the stereotyping of religion, particularly Islam, as a faith that has been “wrongly associated with human-rights violations and with terrorism.” Although the language of the draft resolution appeared unthreatening as it used such general terms as “human rights, social harmony, and religious and cultural diversity,” the measure narrowly passed with 15 members choosing to vote against it, and 9 others abstaining.

    Belgium, speaking on behalf of the European Union, voted against the resolution, saying that they objected to the favoritism of Islam. “The EU was concerned about the overall approach taken in this resolution. This resolution stressed one religion above all others,” the Belgian representative said. It further clarified, “the concept of defamation could easily be abused by extremists to censure all debates on religious freedom.” While religious rights are guaranteed by the constitution in most European countries, a rise of anti-immigrant sentiment and subsequently anti-Muslim sentiment has been on the rise, most notably in Germany and France. Both countries also voted against the resolution.

    Surprisingly, Russia, whose military policy in areas such as Muslim majority Chechnya has often been described as inhumane and brutal, voted in favor of the resolution. Observers say Russia’s strong economic interests in many Muslim and Arab countries most likely contributed to its vote in favor of the resolution.

    It is so unfortunate that the United States and Canada, two countries that are home to millions of Muslims, both rejected the resolution. In a vague statement read at the time of the vote, Canada’s representative said: “[It is] troubling the degree to which questions of racism and questions of religious intolerance were mixed in that resolution in such a way that did not promote a greater understanding of the relationship between the two issues, rather confused them.” The US vote coincided with the appointment of Bishop J. Delano Ellis as an advisor to a congressional panel on faith-based issues. Ellis, known for his disparaging remarks about Islam as “at best false” and at worst “bloody and dangerous”, has increased American Muslims concerns about issues of civil rights in the US. The vote also comes at a time when American Muslims are still disproportionately targeted by so-called anti-terrorism laws such as the secret evidence provision that is used during immigration hearings. The law allows prosecutors to withhold evidence against the defendant, a practice widely criticized as unconstitutional.

    Let me conclude my talk with a few quotations from our diverse religious traditions on the love and care of others (in alphabetical order):

    Buddhism: Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

    Christianity: All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

    Confucianism: Is there one maxim which ought to be acted upon throughout one’s whole life? Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you.

    Hinduism: This is the sum of duty. Do nothing unto others which would cause you pain if done to you.

    Islam: No one of you is a believer until he desires for others what he desires for himself.

    Judaism: What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow men. That is the entire law; all the rest is commentary.

    Taoism: Regard your neighbor’s gain as your own gain, and your neighbor’s loss as your own loss.

    Zoroastrianism: That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto others whatever is not good for itself.

Kalau kita terus berdiam., anak cucu kita akan terus menyumpah dan mempersalahkan kita kerana tidak menunaikan tangggung jawab kota.

    Bangunlah wahai nak Gayong sekelian. Ketua Iman Khalifah Besar telah menitahkan kita untuk turun ke Gelanggang. Ayuh kita saut amanatnya.

    Yang Berbahagia DSAI, sebaik sahaja menjejakkan langkah kehadapan diperhimpunan rakyat pada 1011. Maka hamba yakin laungan REFOMASI akan berkumandang, pekikan dan seruan lantang dari rakyat yang berhimpun pastinya akan menyemarakkan semangat dan rentak tari gelombang refomasi pada kali ini.

    Kehadrat illahi hamba pohon agar kepaduan rakyat tetap utuh dan cekal menghadapi ujian.Hamba bersama-sama barisan pejuang jihad yakin berkat ketabahan dan janji setia Melayu Merdeka Raja Berdaulat akan membawa UMNO kedalam lipatan sejarah.

    Perisai Kami dengan khalimah ALLAH HU AKBAR.berpantang maut sebelum ajal,membujur lalu melintang patah, Menuntut keadilan dan kebenaran. Heret dan hancurkan mereka yang meranapkan ekonomi bangsa,mengaut kekayaan, bermaharajalela menghukum rakyat dan menafikan hak rakyat,sanggup mengadai maruah negara pemerintah celaka.

    Terfikir akan hamba KDYMM Tuanku Raja-Raja dan Sultan-Sultan berangkat sama di Istana menuntut haknya yang telah disentap dan dirampas oleh pemerintah durjana, suara rakyat dipadukan kononnya rakyat bangkit akan menentang Raja.Wahai sekelian rakyat yang sebenarnya pemerintah ketika itu bertujuan untuk mengurangkan kuasa Raja-Raja terhadap pemerintah yang ada.

    Komen dan ulasan mengenai video Lingam dah bertimbun setinggi 8 tingkat bangunan. Kamu bacalah segala tulisan dalam blog ini. Kenapa 8 min? Kenapa saksi masih keberatan…?…..dan banyak lagi…serta berbagai kupasan-kupasan yang mantap yang boleh melawan tulisan hipokrit UMNO Laknatullah…itu.

    Sdr gondrong……

    Usahlah kau berlakon….lihat lah tokoh idaman kalbumu yang kerap tidor dan selalu mengunkap…”ku bongkar kitab suci…” Perjuangan menegak keadilan dan kebenaran walaupun tanpa ANWAR akan tetap diteruskan.

    Aku dah pesan pada generasiku …..jangan sekali-kali bersekongkol orang yang sering menabur fitnah…..nescaya….balasannya….sungguh menakutkan……!

    Aku pesan padamu…..pi ziarah arwah isteri DUGONG….itu…! Pi tanya mnenantu ZAM yang selalu menentang ZAM…. Pi tanya 2 pendakwaraya yang baru berhenti yang berselisih pendapat dengan Gani setahil…… Pi tanya semua risik TENTERA …..siapa yang bunuh gadis MOngolia YANG TAK BERDOSA ITU…..

    PORAHHHHHH……. gondrong…..POCHITTTTTT…..

    Dear Fellow Malaysian,

    Do not follow them, TALK, TALK AND TALK Only but No Action.

    The Lawyers had done their part to push for a clean and efficient judiciary.

    Now we must do our part to clean the EC.

    Many had posted in blogs all around venting your frustration, cursing these and cursing that.

    Now we must show that we can walk as well as talk.

    Join me and BERSIH on the 10th November 2007 for the peaceful walk and enjoy the the beauty around Dataran Merdeka and at the same time let the Barang Naik Party knows that we are not happy with the way they run our country.

    I am from Penang and my computer will be shut down after this posting to start my journey to Dataran Merdeka.

    FEAR NOT MY FELLOW MALAYSIAN. COME OUT IN FULL FORCE IF YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY AND AGONG.

    We cannot just let a few brave ones to fight for us, we must support them.

    REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER

    Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valourous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you, and you may call me, V. (the script from movie titled - V for Vendetta)

    So to all Malaysian,

    REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 10TH OF NOVEMBER

    People (you) should not be afraid of their governments.
    Governments should be afraid of their people (you).

    Suara rakyat sememangnya suara gema keramat!
    Perbetulkan niat. Allah akan pelihara hambaNYa yang berjuang diatas kebenaran! InsyaALLAH

    DSAI,

    Saya ingin bertanya, mengapa tuan suka berjanji atau memperkatakan sesuatu tetapi akhirnya tidak menjadi kenyataan? Justeru itu Tuan pun membuat pelbagai drama bagi mengalih pandangan dan perhatian?

    Jujurlah pada diri sendiri! malulah pada diri sendiri’Tanyalah diri sendiri’ jawapan itu ada pada Tuan.

    Wasalam.
