Principals with Racial Remarks Suspended

"Better late than never" said DS Nazri regarding the late respond from the government regarding the two said principal with the racial remarks.

The two principals, each from Kedah and Johor has been suspended base on their statement which sparks racial remarks to their students and to Malaysian in total.

It was reported, more than 20 complaints were made by the student and the parents include responds from the public.

I am personally felt this was a good sign and let this be a lesson to all Malaysian to react rationally when dealing with the sensitivities of Malaysians.

But in the other hand, I am paused why this should be happening now after more than 50 years we celebrated our independence?

Respecting each others should be the basic instinct to all Malaysians. This must be our culture and it must be protected by all. Respecting each other is a must and should be carried as a highest order in this country.

When this statement comes from a school principals, it shows a clear evidence that our system rotten and need overhauling.

By solving one puzzle, another question arises, does this suspension solve the racial problem in this country?

The teaching of the basic principals of being Malaysian thought by BTN (Biro Tata Negara) to all civil servant need to be re-look again. It must be scrapped and redone.

Organization such as PERKASA should be monitored from increasing damage done. Hope Ibrahim Ali will get well soon from IJN, and starts to look at Malaysia as how it was created initially.

Besides the principals, the economy status of all Malaysian should be up lifted. The sharing must be done equally.

As long as we are treated equally, Malaysians will strive together. Malaysians and Malaysia will be competitive again.

Penang ~ DAP

Achievements of Penang Goverment by Lim Guan Eng
Not published in Malaysian main stream newspapers, a deliberate Act to undermine the people

The governments of Pulau Pinang and Selangor have actually outperformed the previous BN state governments, their achievements though have been kept unpublished. Here is a report of the Pinang State Government.

These governments were elected by the people and the BN is deliberately undermining them.
Read and see how well they are doing. 

Pass it on, this will allow the truth to be seen, and why the internal bickering is happening.
Some leaders have their own Agenda.
New measures implemented includes competitive and public open tender, payments directly to recipients without going through middle-men, priority given to Penang contractors, e-tender through the internet and a 2 week objection period to ensure that successful contractor no longer need "political cables" but "computer cables".
 

There is no doubt that competitive open tenders saves costs and improve quality.
Many contractors have been liberated with the implementation of open tenders at all levels. For Class F contractors which are only open to bumis, open tender system has allowed non-UMNO linked contractors in Penang to get contracts for the first time.
 

In the past contracts are usually reserved for UMNO cronies and those outside the state. Clearly the competitive open tender system of PR is more transparent, accountable and beneficial to the people compared to the negotiated tender system for BN cronies.
 

What is more surprising is the outcome of the open tender system open to all races. Instead of perception that Malays cannot compete and that the non-Malay contractor would win all open tender contracts, this is not true.
 

Since the new PR government took over, Penang Development Corporation (PDC) had issued 23 tender awards, of which 7(30%) were won by non-Malay contractors and 16(70%) won by Malay contractors.
 

Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang (PBAPP) had issued 66 tender awards of which 22(33%) were won by non-Malay contractors as compared to 44(67%) by Malay contractors.
 

The performance by Malay contractors in an open tender system with non-Malays proves that Malay contractors can compete with others and win tender awards on their own merit. Clearly it is not the race that is an issue but failed policies that encourage dependency especially when it helps BN maintain the status quo and its grip on power.
 

A good example is China which suffered famine and severe economic distress with wrong policies of eating from 'a single iron pot" no matter how hard or little one worked.
 

However when China opened up its economy and allow one's hard work and ability to determine one's success and rewards, China transformed itself from being the "Sick Man of Asia" in the 1960s into the second largest world economy by 2011.
 

BN had instituted policies that stifle initiative, creativity, hard work, drive and productivity which benefited only the few BN cronies at the expense of entire country.
 

For instance, 30% quotas of publicly listed shares were reserved for Malays but only a few benefited as many ordinary Malays never received shares from the Federal government.
 

The state government regrets that there are now certain elements within Pakatan Rakyat Penang that is aligned with BN in opposing efforts to implement an open tender system and CAT governance.
 

We must remain steadfast as we are backed by results. The Penang state government has been able to turn a projected deficit of RM 35 million in 2008 budget to a record surplus of RM 88 million.
 

A projected deficit of RM 40 million in 2009 Budget has been turned around to record a surplus of RM 77 million. In fact the 2009 budget surplus would have been a record RM 92 million were it not for the payment of RM 14.7 million as a result of the Tang Hak Ju land scam of the previous administration.
 

Penang is proud to be the first state to hold public open tenders of government projects and procurement contracts and also conducting it through the internet (e-tender). By sticking to CAT principles, Penang is the first state or federal government in Malaysia to gain praise from Transparency International.
 

In politics, we want more friends than foes. But we are willing to lose friends and gain foes if we can change the mindset of the people by providing equal opportunity, be confident, self-reliant and attain international benchmarks.

Pakatan Rakyat Penang's greatest legacy to Malaysia and greatest threat to BN's stranglehold on power is to prove that the right policies can make Malays and Malaysians compete and succeed against the best. 
lvbala's comments,
I received this mail from a trusted source and it was not published in the main stream. Yes, we do understand why it was not published. 
Anyway, this achievement by DAP within 2 years after 2008 is great and motivating. We have seen many changes done by PR government since they break the majority of BN controlled hall.

Even it is not to much to say, the pressure from PR to BN have made tremendous changes in the making.

Hinduism ~ Better explanations needed.

Sacred Ganga: The river Ganga (or Ganges) is the most sacred river for pious Hindus. According to a legend, the river Ganga has its source in Shiva and flows from his matted hair.

This is symbolically represented by depicting Ganga as a jet of water sprinkling out of the head of the Lord and falling on the ground.

Legend has it that the Lord allowed an outlet to the great river to traverse the earth and bring purifying water to human being.

Ganga (river Ganges) is associated with Hindu mythology and is the most sacred river of Hindus. According to tradition, one who bathes in Ganga (revered as Mother Ganga) in accordance with traditional rites and ceremonies on religious occasions in combination with certain astrological events, is freed from sin and attains knowledge, purity and peace.

Ganga, symbolically represented on the head of the Lord by a female (Mother Ganga) with a jet of water emanating from her mouth and falling on the ground, signifies that the Lord destroys sin, removes ignorance, and bestows knowledge Hence, Lord Shiva is often referred to as Gangadhara or "Bearer of the river Ganga".

Lvbala said,

Above comments were pick up from Facebook page of LORD Subramaniar.

Mythology. Above piece of article represent man’s best imagination given to represent 5 element into GOD.

One should understand, religion is only man’s imagination and wall build around them which separated among each other.

GOD’s teaching claim to be brought down to earth is totally unexpected and impossible to mankind. So, better explanation and logic thinking needed to one so religion by the name of GOD not mis-used and confused.

It is time for HINDUISM to talk fact and start all over again so new generation never go confuse about HINDUISM. Myth and legend stories should be put aside and back to basic and be simple. VEDA should come into light. The best explanation about GOD is in it.

Characteristic should be avoided. Personality and myth stories should be avoided. Confusion is the main reason for the youngster mainly HINDUs to convert to other religion. We should be back to the basic understanding.

For an example, does Ghanapathy is the son of SIVA and Sakthi? Biologically no, but why the epic said so?

Who is Ghanapathy? He is the first creation of GOD towards imagination and given most important elements such as Air, Pranayama, Kundalini etc etc. This facts should be explain and not family elephant stories.

Who is lord MURUGAN? How he was created? The GOD created by man upon un-explainable beauty?

Who is Krishna? GOD created by man who represented the universe.

But they are all one. This was explained in VEDA s. The holy book.

Intellectual with logical explanations needed to further enhance religious views specially in HINDUISM.

Family story about GOD is no more excepted and irrelevant. May those who understand this can come forward and give better explanation.

Temples and prayers in Hinduism is total concentration on cosmic energy absorption. A prayers is science practical to absorb concentrated energy to stabilize the Chakras. So, man can think clearly and live healthy life.

Devotional movie with GOD characteristics should be avoided and logical explanation needed for this millennium years.

The whole problem started in Hinduism when man separated one GOD into Three Murthys”. The Creator, the Operator and the Destroyer “GOD” (Brahma, Vishnu and Siva).

The actual word “GOD” represented the three meaning of him.

In theory, this is true about the main function of GOD who creates, rule and destroy but creating GOD’s characters is totally un-accepted and these characters lead to many rising question and each answers created another continues questions.

These 3 main characters have raised many questions and questions keeps on rising till today.   

If these characters were not created, Hinduism would have better future and understanding and accepted universally.

I am going to stop writing till here and will continue if I have feed backs. So please comment and give your logical views for betterment of HINDUISM.
