Collective stories.

I just finished reading a novel written by Sidney Sheldon titled "Master Of The Game". It was just to kill my time and divert my attention from daily routine.

It was a great book on how the lead charater "Kate" played a great role to protect her fathers busines by being the "Master Of The Game". She did everything possible to protect the asset which was earned by her father through ups and down.

She bribe, she protect the guilty, behind the screen of one life, she was behind everything possible to win the game and you know what? She succeded.

Don't be suprise if you find it funny cause I am talking about a Novel rather than talking about politics nor religion.

Just go through below article which I copied from Sabahkini with regards to Taikbilo from Sarawak.

KUALA LUMPUR : Barisan Nasional (BN) dilihat "cuba menampilkan imej mengambil berat terhadap gejala rasuah" walaupun mengkritik masalah itu tidak boleh selesai dalam sekelip mata, kata Datuk Seri Najib Razak bersama temu ramah dengan Financial Times hari ini, berikutan pendedahan video mengejutkan mengenai skandal pembalakan Sarawak.

Akhbar perniagaan antarabangsa itu melaporkan perdana menteri enggan mengulas pendedahan oleh Global Witness ketika temubual tersebut, menjelaskan pihak berkuasa anti rasuah Malaysia telah menyiasat dakwaan tersebut terhadap Ketua Menteri Sarawak Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.

"Pelacuran dan rasuah adalah dua perkara yang membelenggu manusia sejak sekian lama. Tapi kami sedang menguruskannya. Namun ianya bukanlah sesuatu yang akan selesai sekelip mata," katanya.

Dalam artikelnya menjelaskan situasi sengit yang Najib akan hadapi dalam Pilihan Raya 2013, FT menjelaskan Umno sangat prihatin dalam topik rasuah, yang digunakan pembangkang sebagai senjata untuk kempen.

Akhbar perniagaan itu juga menjelaskan pelbagai dakwaan rasuah melibatkan kontrak kerajaan, dan Malaysia berkendudukan ke-54 daripada 176 negara berdasarkan kaji selidik indeks persepsi rasuah Transparency International Malaysia's (TI-M) 2012.

 

Najib dilihat mencuba sedaya upaya bagi merubah negara termasuk membasmi rasuah, namun beberapa siri pendedahan rasuah melibatkan pentadbiran dan pemimpinnya berterusan berlaku.

Dalam pendedahan terbaru kumpulan hak asasi manusia berpangkalan di London, Global Witness, menjadikan Taib perhatian dalam video melibatkan penyiasatan terhadap skandal balak rasuah.

Video bertajuk "Inside Malaysia's Shadow State", menunjukkan rundingan oleh penyiasat GW dengan sepupu Taib dan beberapa orang tengah untuk membeli beberapa ribu hektar tanah hutan, yang mana kumpulan itu mendakwa menjadi kawasan petempatan ribuan masyarakay pribumi.

Taib bagaimanapun menafikan penglibatannya dan kerajaan yang dipimpinnya, malah kerajaannya juga telah memulakan inisiatif sendiri bagi menyiasat sama ada video itu adalah cubaan pembangkang untuk menjatuhkan kredibilitinya dalam PRU13.

Now, lets talk about the Master Of the game again in this issue. I believe everyone know who is the Master and Who is the Slave in the sarawak land issue.

It can be one of them or it can be both. You see, the note $$$ / RM is so evil that can corrupt anyone who has brain or without.

Thirty year in power and if you don't use your upper level department (brain) to think and act, than something is wrong. This was said clearly by the one who made money from the native land related to this article.

In the above case who was the brainy and who was not?

Think about it.

RPK - No Holds Bar - Value of Muslim Oath

Dear readers,

 

I copy paste the below article from RPK's blog. Hope he don't mind. I believe, what ever he said below not only goes to one race or one religion but it should goes to all. This article should be the eye opener to those who stand on religion for their personnel gain.

 

Reading RPK's view actually opened my eyes and made me stronger in my believe upon GOD and his blessing. I am totally agree with him on his statement and would say it again that religion is "man made". GOD never created religion. Man DID. And these man have built a wall that separate humans with each other.

 

Many of us mis-understood the teching and the message from GOD by building a wall by the name of religion. These are those monkeys who have taken teaching of GOD and the holy book as a shield to protect them.

Taking Oath on the Holy became a trend now a days. Our beloved PM did and PI Bala did. But DSAI still never wanted to, and I respect his view and stand for his religious believe.

Why shouls some one take oath? Why should someone take oath by the name of GOD and be GOD as a witness?

Is it so ones believe that I he or she take oath by the name of GOD that his / her statement shall be considered the holy truth?

Does our court of justice can justified this oath? Think about it.....
 

 

The Value of Muslim Oath - RPK

 

This is the photograph that Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail showed during the press conference that she held regarding Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan’s sodomy allegation against Anwar Ibrahim. When the press asked Wan Azizah where she got the photograph from, she pointed to me standing at the back of the hall and told the reports to ask Raja Petra.

 

The reporters then rushed up to me to ask me my comments and I just smiled and responded with a ‘no comment’. I just love keeping some things a mystery – such as from where I got that photograph.
 

 

 

At first Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s office denied the photograph and also denied that Saiful had ever been to meet the Prime Minister. Later, when I said that I have evidence that Saiful did visit Najib’s office, they did a U-turn and admitted that he did go to Najibs office after all but merely to discuss a scholarship.

 

Hence allow me to gloat by saying that Malaysia Today broke the story first and even revealed the photograph.

 

 

But that is not the point of my article today. What I really want to talk about is that Malays (meaning Muslims as well) pride themselves on the sanctity of the Qur’an and the value of an oath of a Muslim.

 

In fact, in Surah An Nur (chapter 24) of the Qur’an, it stresses that in any allegation involving sexual misconduct (where the sentence is stoning to death just like the old Jewish laws) your oath can determine whether a person is put to death or is spared death.

 

In other words, another person’s oath can result in you being put to death (by many people throwing stones at you) and/or your oath can spare you the terrible fate of being put to death (by many people throwing stones at you). So an oath is not a light thing. It is the difference between life and death.

 

 

And this is what Saiful had done -- he had taken an oath -- and also what Najib had done regarding his alleged involvement with Altantuya Shaariibuu -- he had also taken an oath that he had never met her or even knows her.

 

Today, Malaysians have learned that an oath of a Muslim has no value after all. An oath of a Muslim -- even when taken with a Qur’an over his/her head -- is as valuable as Japanese ‘banana money’.

After this can we ever accept the oath of a Malay/Muslim? It appears like the oath of a Muslim, the most sacred word that a Muslim can ever give, is not worth the paper it is written on (pun intended).

 

 

The Malays/Muslims need to ponder on this. If from now on the non-Muslims mock a Muslim who swears in the name of Allah regarding this, that or the other, the Malays/Muslims should not feel offended and start making police reports that so-and-so has insulted Islam and threaten bloodshed and all that bullshit.

 

The Malays/Muslims have just reduced the value of a Muslim oath to zero value. Can we any longer trust Malays/Muslims when they swear an oath in the name of Allah while holding a Qur’an? No wonder Malays/Muslims swear an oath of office and as soon as they are in office they resort to corruption and abuse of power and violate the trust the people have put in them.

 

In short, Malays/Muslims cannot be trusted because the sacred oath of a Malay/Muslim is totally worthless. And a human whose sacred oath is worthless is lower than an animal. Are Muslims lower than animals then?

 

Yes, and trust me, after writing this article I have just closed the door to ever returning to Malaysia never mind whether Pakatan Rakyat or Barisan Nasional wins the coming general election.

 

****************************************

 

P.S.: By the way, I am inviting volunteers from both Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat to become sub-editors of Malaysia Today -- at least for now until the coming general election. Your job will be to update/publish news items or articles every day, say about half a dozen or so a day per person.

The reason I am inviting volunteers from both sides of the political divide is so that we can get balanced reporting and views. Definitely the pro-Barisan people will publish pro-government items while the pro-Pakatan people will publish anti-government items. (You have absolute autonomy and can also write your own articles if you want to).

 

I will need you to verify your identity and political affiliation, of course, and if you respond fast enough maybe we can arrange a face-to-face meeting some time next week in a secret location in the Malaysian jungle to get the ball rolling. (So be prepared to ‘disappear’ for a whole day next week).

If you want Malaysia Today to be more balanced then this is your opportunity to do that. I am prepared to turn Malaysia Today into a ‘public-owned’ Blog and allow you to determine what gets published in Malaysia Today. Then you have no reason to say that Malaysia Today is biased. We want to be as balanced as we can but then you must help make this possible.

Any takers? You can contact me at petra_kamarudin@airpost.net

Thousand Years

Heart beats fast
colors and promises
how to be brave
how can I love when I'm afraid to fall
watching you stand alone
all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
darling don't be afraid I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
what's standing in front of me
every breath
every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
darling don't be afraid I have loved you
for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
darling don't be afraid I have loved you
dor a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

After for a long time, after our heart was closed and locked for anything and everything, without realizing, we know now someting is happeing, we intend to pretend, we fake ourself as if nothing is happening.

Its goes for us speacially at this stage of life, as we have gone through million and trillion of seconds in sorrow and pain.

We, somehow realized, we know somehow, we do feel somehow, we are in cloud9.
