On the happenings in Sabah

I am not able to comment further or even talk about the incident because I guess everyone is well informed about the invasion/reclaiming in Sabah; started in Lahad Datu first. I have been following stories from the Philippine news source or Al Jazeera only as I find both sides of the media is political-focused fueled with propaganda of finger pointing between ruling and opposition parties. Furthermore, with the odd media blackout, whereby journalists are not allowed any closer to a certain spot that spurred assumptions; all I did was read and keep myself updated.

However, what I want to say about the incident in Sabah is that when it came to war, the first thing that comes is truth followed by humanity. I saw this quote somewhere before. But in this case for truth, they were the biggest idiots on both sides; showing their true colors. I am not talking about the military administration nor decisions etc. I am talking about the commenters on the Philippine website which made me upset is how the talks between Malaysians on their comment that the child who was shot dead was justifiable because he was in the red zone.

Have we forgotten our morale? That because of bloodsheds, we have become inhumane. Each life that is lost is regrettable but a child’s life? That is the biggest crime ever.

Also, on how some Malaysians are behaving through their comments in the Philippino’s news portal. You’d be your own judge, see for yourself.

Gay Bashing Politics - Guide to identify Gays, Lesbians, Bisexual and Transgender

UPDATE (September 18, 7pm EST): Malaysia's Education Ministry has reportedly "denied endorsing a guideline on how to spot gay and lesbian schoolchildren," Malaysian newspaper The Star reports: The Star Online It added that the parenting seminar on the issue of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) held in Penang on Thursday attended by Deputy Education Minister Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi was organised by "concerned” NGOs. The story was also picked up by prominent foreign news sites. It was reported that the guidelines published by Yayasan Guru Malaysia Bhd and Putrajaya Consultative Council of Parents and Teachers Associations had listed "symptoms" of gays and lesbians

When it comes to Malaysia; it seemed to have the funniest political stories that leave most readers from other countries laughing at some of the adhocracy that has been happening lately. I am sure most countries have a fair share of sex in politics but I must say that Malaysia tops it all.

Sex seems to be the most favorite delight in political scandals, you have the infamous Datuk Trios and their sex tape, sodomy trials that finally ceased after years of courtroom sessions, Chua Soi Lek’s big blow job tape and the lists goes on; being funnier by the year.

The latest twist of them all since they have run out of sex tapes or sexual accusations on a politician, the Ministry of Education however working together with the Yayasan Guru Malaysia (Some Malaysian Teacher’s club) comes out with an un-researched and irrelevant guidelines for schools to spot the ‘Homos’.

I am not kidding, seriously spot the ‘Homo’ guideline for school children; who teach children from the start to divide and discriminate those who are not at norm. I can imagine this would make Lady Gaga’s eyes widen so much, she ends up looking more extra-terrestrial than before.

The funny guidelines to spot Gays; note that none of points are altered, there were indeed from the horses’ mouth.

Symptoms of  Gays:
Likes having a fit body and likes to show off by wearing V-neck and sleeveless clothes;A preference for tight and bright-colored clothes; Attraction to men; and A preference for carrying big handbags, similar to those used by women

Symptoms of Lesbians:
Attraction to women; Besides their female companions,  they tend to distance themselves from other women; A preference for going out, having meals etc. with women and a preference for sleeping in the company of women; Not attracted to men

Ridiculous isn’t it? Though not every countries accepts them and furthermore, calling them ‘sinners’ or unnatural. In my opinion,  Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals and even transgender are of a natural cause and by labeling them as a disease, they are being ironic, as in the animal kingdom; the most natural behavior of them which animals have basic survivor needs and are not as complicated as the homo-sapiens. Some animals regardless of their species are born bisexual, homosexual and heterosexual; they just do sex. In fact animals do not have a sexual identity.

Though I am not attracted to the same sex does not mean that lesbians are bad, just doesn’t make sense; just like interracial sexual relationship. Back then it was not normal to breed out of the same skin color and there were articles or some articles written against interracial relationships, but today to be mix blood is cool or nothing, it’s just normal now.

Furthermore, we need them because most gay couples are the ones who have been adopting kids dumped by straight couples.

Sadly those NGOs who endorsed this discriminative guideline do not have the right focus because homosexuality has been around for years and is all over the world and it’s the individual’s right to live their own life the way they should.

On the other hand, why didn’t those folks who endorsed this said anything about the three child rapist who got off Scott-free because they had a better future than the rape victim?

This coming election, you know who to vote for; remember even gays and lesbians are eligible voters themselves.

Section 114A And The Loop Hole?

It has been a while since I updated my blog, it is not because I couldn’t find an interesting topic to blog about  but instead, there were many topics to start with. I had to read through each and every hot topics ranging from the Hudud news, Tun Mahathir’s bad use of metaphor (I really find this guy cool actually) to describe UMNO, Chua Soi Lek’s ramblings, the Voter’s mentality issues and the nonsensical “pingpong-ing” finger pointing between ruling and opposition parties on being spin doctors.

Like every women, I wish I can buy all the shoes in that shop but instead I will pick the one that catches my eye the most. (So I lied, I normally buy a minimum of 2 pairs at one go).

Therefore out of the few hot topics mentioned, I’ve decided to pick a topic about the odd “amended new” rule in which you are found guilty until proven innocent; which is the total opposite of justice whereby a person is innocent until ‘PROVEN’ guilty. I am sure that most of us know what Section 114A is about and I do not need to sound like a broken recorder singing the same tune like some brain-washing machine and  how this managed to spark my interest in picking this topic is THIS

(The Star) - Section 114A of the Evidence Act cannot be used in the case of Umno Youth's alleged seditious posting because the amendment is based on presumption of fact and not presumption of guilt, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.

“The amendment is only a form of procedure."

“It can only be invoked if a person is charged under other laws and the court is convinced to use it to shift the burden of proof to the accused,” he told a press conference Thursday.

Nazri said the accused can then prove their innocence through a balance of probabilities, as how Umno Youth has done by making a police report as soon as possible

When seeing the title of this piece of news, a non UMNO or BN supporter would be enraged. However I found this to be a loop-hole, a very good one in which I will dissect it based on my own understanding and view.

“Because the amendment is based on presumption of fact and not presumption of guilt, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.”

My take: therefore you must have a lot of paperwork in which histories or bookmarks are to be in print screen and in hard-copied print, in order to collect as much evidence as you can. I believe this can be a part of evidence collected if the time comes.

“Nazri said the accused can then prove their innocence through a balance of probabilities, as how Umno Youth has done by making a police report as soon as possible.”

My view: To be on the safe side without being caught unknowingly, once you have gathered all evidences from your side, i.e. histories, log files, if you don’t know how to capture logs? Try cobian they are free. 

If you are paranoid to be prosecuted for something you did not do because of such law like section 114A, lodge a police report on a daily basis or weekly with the “PRESUMPTION” to save your own behind and do bring along your FACTS and EVIDENCES in which a saved soft copy of computer logs, print screen printed in hard copy of histories and bookmarks and also, a picture of you posing by your computer to show it isn’t edited. 

Upon seeing how this section 114A act reflects to my 'Presumption of Fact', is that the internet people are far  more dangerous than those snatch thieves, smash and grab thieves and child rapists. Oh speaking of child rapists, did I mention that in Malaysia, a court judge let a guy who admitted guilty of raping a 13 year old girl when he was 18 years that time, scott free because he had a bright future as an athlete?

By the way, I have been reading a lot from Malaysia Today, it truly has proper news than most of the other independent news site these days.http://www.malaysia-today.net/

That is if you are looking for news that are well balanced and no Pro-UMNO/BN or Pro-Opposition parties.

A Propaganda Movie Is For Rednecks

Tanda Putera, the mark of a Prince, I would directly translate the title of the movie from Bahasa Malaysia aka Bahasa Melayu to English. I know the confusion between the Malay language and the Malaysian language; I must admit I lost track over the years to keep up with the indecisive changes on the education system either use this language or that.

I know that this issue has been out and about since its first announcement and how it will be shown somewhere in a month closer to the Election Day. Honestly, though I must admit that it is a propaganda movie, it should be watched for fun and to analyze on the story plot and not be taken seriously. I really don’t care about this movie and I don’t know why DAP is pissed about this movie if it isn’t true.
This however pisses me off because politicians in Malaysia have forgotten that we are adults who can think for ourselves and we don’t need to shut down this movie or that. To those who believed this movie let it be, they are just trying to stir pain and racial separation and to those against it, don’t watch it but allow freedom of speech.

It is really sad to see the movie’s facebook page and you can read the most dirtiest racist comments all barking at one race, the Chinese and also criticizing the DAP political party which is fine but don’t bring the racial issue just to spice things up. But then again, people are selfish in their ways. I would suggest not to even comment on their facebook page as it is very sad to see how uneducated and uncultured their comments can be. It is a waste of time really and if not, assuming it is the objective of the movie to stir up racial separation propaganda, then it is working. I do not want to promote them by putting a link here, you can web search it yourself.

Honestly, with regards to stupid movies (propaganda), there are more worse than one depict, if those who agreed with the story plot of the movie; well I can say that they will live their life like a cattle, born and breed with no sole purpose of their own but made to produce and slaughter. And seriously, since when we actually took seriously of such movies, there are far worse than Tanda Putera. Have you watched an American-featured movie that supposedly based on a true story, Medal of Valor?

Go watch that movie, it is full of propaganda and how they ridiculously linked Mexicans to Al Qaeda and that the Al Qaeda are Russians. The only people who would believe this are the rednecks of course, same as my own personal opinion of Tanda Putera, it is another redneck movie.

Crime in Malaysia, Statistics

Is Malaysia a safe country to live in?

Or is it because of the exposure and viral information via the internet that blinds the difference between perception and fact?

Studying the statistics taken from Malaysia Official Police Web Portal

Print screen from Polis DiRaja Malaysia website

It does shows that most crime rates have dropped but not all, in fact some parts have increased in which you can view the statistics above.

Part of it, I feel that the police statistics may not be able to measure it accurately because it is true that one cannot assume that all crimes are reported.  But, I am aware that they do mention if you make a false police report, they will charge you in which what happened to me a long time where I nearly escaped death literally.  They spent a month trying to investigate me and not catching the perpetrator to validate whether my police report was not false. They interviewed my friends to do a personality background check to whether I was lying or not.

Honestly, I had bruises all over and it was so obvious, would I want to beat myself up and then make a police report against someone I do not know.  But that is a long history for me.

No, I didn’t really make a proper entry on the blog because I don’t know I was “effin” traumatized for 7 years and it wasn’t easy to pen the entry without being judgmental, to add a few non-friends now who turned out to be assholes who are not civil-minded at all.

Anyway, I digressed.

The Malaysian government and police did mention that the crime statistics have fallen and that we should not worry with the stories in the internet. I find it rather sad because I doubt they even bothered to read in detail about those incidents, I believe I’ve posted some in my previous entry. Because these are survivors advising the citizens in being extra careful and how to react in a dangerous situation, which our Police fail to highlight the SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) in dealing with criminals, I mean of course they are more much experience than we are right, since we have to depend on bad luck to be struck and learn from it. Sure, there are crime prevention classes that covers the general how to “kick ass” from snatch thieves, but it doesn’t cover all like what if you have been kidnapped or how to avoid being dragged into the car and if you are in the car, how to escape etc.

In conclusion, yes it is good for news being shared and becoming viral, that way the case gets solved faster because of public pressure.. duh!
