I scratch your back and you scratch my back lo...

When i read the first paragraph, I was smiling by realizing that this writing rings the bell. 

But no one is interested in bell noise as it is an Indian culture sound".

Not only this, in this country, everything is identical to your race and religion. but you must know the junction to it so you can move with out detected.

You must be slick to move around and must be smart enough to get it done too. If you think there are some challenges, than you pay money to settle the whole issue. 

This is the express way to get things done by paying cash. 

Come to another method is by recognizing race and religion people. By recolonizing this, you may get things done faster that anyone else.

Further more the culture built base on "orang kita", "budak kita", "kita jaga kita" attitude has rotten in the system by the rotten people. They want to to be rottened because they are part of the rotten system.

If we look at the status we are moving on, we would clearly learn that starting with the education system to the race base political system, the whole system were brought down just to suit them and their clan which they realize is the only way to manipulate their low class mind.  

The reason no senior politician has been sent to jail, despite being convicted in court, is because no prime minister from Umno-Baru (or any of its clones) wants to start a precedent.

More importantly, if one corrupt politician is sent to jail, others will spill the beans about him and his associates. That is one reason why the convicted criminal, Najib Abdul Razak, is overly confident.

Successive PMs know that their parties and cabinets are so weak that if one element is removed, the whole complex organisational structure will collapse.

Mahiaddin (Muhyiddin) Yassin, for instance, is not bodoh (stupid), but he is practising what is known as "member jaga member".

He knows that if one senior politician is sent to jail for corruption, his peers and possibly himself will be in deep trouble. The rakyat will start to ask difficult questions. Past exposés will be unearthed. Old allegations will resurface. The list is never-ending.

It need not be for corruption. The politician could also be guilty of sexual abuse of a minor, CBT, abuse of power, an expenses scandal, money laundering, or thuggish behaviour.

Currently, Najib roams the countryside like a free man, enjoys police outriders, makes statements as if he is still relevant.

He is alleged to be doing deals with the opposition leader, and is adored by his supporters, who think that he is free because he is innocent.

Around the world, high-profile criminals go to prison and then file their appeals. Why are corrupt Malaysian politicians treated with kid gloves? 

The reason all these politicians are still free is because Muhyiddin, his cabinet and former PMs fear the domino effect from jailing one corrupt politician.

All it takes is one jailing because the rakyat will then ask questions about the other corrupt politicians. Then, there would be nothing to prevent us from sending the other corrupt politicians, their allegedly corrupt spouses, corrupt business associates, corrupt civil servants, corrupt ulama and corrupt police officers to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

If you jailed one, you would probably have to jail every single politician from Umno-Baru, PN, BN, MCA and MIC. We haven't even talked about the East Malaysian politicians.

If one corrupt politician can be jailed, then all the others who have stolen, cheated, or committed some evil, can be imprisoned.

This is the precedent that cannot be set. This is what our PMs fear most.

It is not just about politics. The PM cannot protect the rakyat, and the Ministry of Education cannot even protect our children.

Malaysians may recall news reports of teachers who allegedly raped their pupils or teachers who joked about rape. The complaints of the pupils and parents fell on deaf ears.

Teachers who raped were merely transferred to another school, mostly in a rural location. Why can't the teacher be charged and jailed? Is it because the teaching union is very strong and feels that it must protect its union members? Doesn't the union believe in bringing the case to court to see if a crime has been committed? If the teacher is innocent, he will be set free.

Instead, the ministry will transfer the teacher in the hope that we will forget. We won't!

The unwillingness to prosecute these allegedly criminal teachers casts a dark shadow on the whole teaching profession, and the police are culpable in this perversion of justice.

So, let's imagine what were to happen if one teacher who was guilty of rape was sent to prison, instead of being transferred. Wronged parents and pupils will demand justice and insist that the state punishes all the teachers who allegedly raped their charges, but managed to escape scot-free.

However, teachers continue to be transferred because the PM is aware that he cannot afford to start a precedent.

Politics, education and what else?

There have been several deaths from neglect in tahfiz schools. It is also alleged that some children have been abused, beaten, sodomised or raped. Why have the guardians of Islam in Malaysia not demanded that the alleged rapists be prosecuted?

What if tahfiz school teachers who abused their pupils and beat them for not memorising the Quran was sent to prison? If school heads who failed to have proper fire drills and fire exits in their dormitories were sent to prison for neglecting their duties, the message that is sent to all Malaysians will be clear. More importantly, parents know that their children will be safe in tahfiz schools.

However, no tahfiz teacher or head has been jailed for their dereliction of duty. Why? The authorities fear the precedent that would be set.

One conviction may lead to others being convicted. That is why no heads of specific police stations have been charged for deaths in custody.

Few doctors or surgeons are charged for medical malpractice.

Few transport operators are charged for failing to provide safe methods and practices at work, despite blocks of concrete and cranes injuring or killing people. Similarly, no air traffic controllers or their supervisors have been charged for endangering lives by sleeping on the job.

Few Muslim NGOs or clerics are charged with disturbing the peace when they insult people of other faiths.

Few wardens of orphanages, who are alleged to have sodomised their charges are convicted.

Few ministers are convicted when hundreds of millions of ringgits destined for the purchase of equipment are embezzled.

Until the nation wakes up and demands accountability and proper justice, successive PMs will ensure that no politician, or civil servants are jailed because they do not want to set a dangerous precedent.

Just Laugh

Eh bargher, don’t simply complain ah

“Yahoo! All will be OK thanks to the great Covid National Recovery Plan!” declared Datuk Semua Settle at a media conference.

“Whose idea is this?” asked a reporter.

“All credit goes to our Dear Leader, the glorious Moodin. Oh wait, he just changed his name, actually, now we must call him Mydin,” said SS.

“Like the hypermarket?” quipped someone.

“Yeah la, can buy everything there. MP also got. ‘Metal Plate’ la, you thinking what?”

Another journalist asked, “But shops can only open in October. No extra economic aid given. Won’t many of our small business koyak by then?”

“So what? Then the big business can take over all these small business la. We must always think big, because it’s the big boys that donate to our Yayasan Golf charity fund,” smiled SS.

A journalist from China Press put up her hand and asked, “Some people say Malaysia needs a scientific data-driven approach to fight Covid. We must do more testing, contact tracing and targeted MCOs like Korea, not just one blanket lockdown. Any comment?”

“Eh, you from where? K-Pop ah? China ah? No wonder you ask that kind of question. Eh, jangan probok-probok sini (don’t provoke here),” snarled SS, while pointing his hand, which had three gold rings with huge gemstones, at the reporter.

“No, no, we are Malaysian newspaper. Our office in Bangsar, KL, next to Honesty News,” replied the visibly shaken lady.

“OK la, give chance answer you. Actually, we are 100 percent data-driven. When the cases go up a lot, we reduce testing. Then the cases automatic go down, right? So the garmen leaders will look good. Scientific la tuu...” said the grinning SS.

“Datuk, why do shops in Pahang have to close when most of the cases are in Selangor?” asked another writer.

SS replied, “Because last time we do PKP, PKPB, PKPP, PKPD, people make fun of us, TikTok disco videos and all that.... so we merajuk la. Now, we don’t care got many or few cases, we just hantam ‘One Lockdown to Rule Them All’. Kautim, no more jokes.”

“Two-thirds of cases are from factories but they all can still operate. But the small shops must close. Our Opposition Leader said this is not fair,” remarked another reporter.

"Did Anwar say that?" asked SS.

"No, Najib. He’s our new Opposition Leader mah," said the reporter.

“Ah, this kind of question must be from MalaysiaKuno. Oreidi kena wallop with big fine for cyber littering but still try to be funny. I won’t answer. Next question!” barked SS.

‘Holding on to power is our priority’

“Datuk Semua Settle, why all the vaccine must go through Syarikat PharmaAmno or federal garmen? Slow la like that. Why not allow state garmen or private companies to buy their own vaccine from overseas?” asked a TV journalist.

SS looked angry and almost shouted, “Eh, you all always complain this and that, stupid ah?! If give vaccine so fast, all got lembu herd immunity oreidi, how to maintain the Daroorat? Which is more important?”

“Datuk, why the garmen now only want to announce Recovery Plan? Oreidi 16 months MCO leh,” said someone from Naan Yum Press.

“That blardy old man la - he go and tell Ah Kong want to do Mageran. So, we have to simply rush out the plan to prevent it,” explained SS.

“John from SeeNN America here. Excuse me, what is Mageran?”

“MA.G.E.R.A.N - MAha Grab of Emergency Rule Above Nation la. Eh, you helicopter journalist just simply parachute down here, never do research one ah?”

“Datuk, can we double confirm with you that Parliament will reopen when cases drop below 2,000 a day, probably by October?” asked someone from The Galaxy.

“See how la... maybe then we go and test more factory foreign workers inside the sardine-can hostels, sure damn lot of cases there one,” answered SS, with a big smile.

“But now Ah Kong oreidi call for Parliament to meet up again. How?” questioned a web reporter.

“Hmmm.... that one a bit complicated. OK, he said ‘as soon as possible’ right? But it’s still not ‘possible’ because Parliament is under the same category as pubs, karaoke, beauty salons and massage centres. Still too dangerous to open,” said SS.

“Zoom meeting la,” said someone from an IT magazine.

SS sighed, “Eh, you never see the garmen office ah? Always sistem down one.”

“There are so many empty buildings now. Why don’t the garmen go and rent them and provide more hostels for these workers? Space them out more, less infections ya? Singapore is doing this,” said a reporter from The Rocket magazine.

SS replied, “Firstly, we refuse to learn from other countries, especially Singapore. We have our pride OK!”

“Secondly, eh hello, I am from Parti Berpecah. Day and night we are thinking how to destroy Amno and then run off with their holy wife PUS. Holding on to power is our priority. Baargher, you think we all so free to think of solutions for Covid ah?”

This incident have brought so many question in our mind what type of people elected this types of a man? 

What magic he have promises in his constitution about electing him as an MP?

What types of person he is to be a law maker with 10 cents attitude?

HALAL ; Shopping Cart Segregation

KOTA KINABALU: A Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) leader has slammed a state PAS representative over his remarks on segregating shopping trolleys for non-halal products in local stores.

PAS’ nominated assemblyman Aliakbar Gulasan had urged all supermarkets and stores to be sensitive to the needs and sentiments of the various religions in Sabah.

He issued the statement after an incident at a supermarket in the interior Keningau district which, according to Aliakbar, was selling pork without segregating the trolleys used by its customers.

He said this was an insult to the sensitivities of the Muslim community, adding that the supermarket should have understood matters related to religion or checked with the religious authorities first.

PBS vice-president Johnny Mositun criticised the remarks by his Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) ally, saying he was concerned over what he described as “the beginning of signs of extremism creeping into the state”.

In a statement, Mositun, a former state deputy speaker, said that as a Sabahan, he condemned this sort of religious extremism, and nobody should take a holier-than-thou attitude.

He said the 32 ethnic and sub-ethnic groups in Sabah had always been able to live and work together as one family, despite coming from different backgrounds.

“In fact, Sabah is the best example of religious tolerance and unity. In the past, we never heard the word ‘segregation’ as far as supermarket services are concerned in the state.

“We must maintain this at all cost and be cautious of certain groups trying to break this harmonious relationship.

“These people are trying to sow the seeds of hatred and divisions in others, be it on religious, racial or ethnic grounds.”

Aliakbar, in his statement on Monday, thanked netizens for playing a proactive role in speaking up over the incident at the supermarket.

He also congratulated the Sabah Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS) and the Keningau district council for resolving the issue.

Ali akbar said his statement had been misinterpreted and that he never called for stores and markets to stop selling non-halal products.

lvbala said:

I got his news from FMT and honestly I feel vomiting on his face. Or can I say that I feel shitting on his face.

Why does C19 virus never go after these types of ass hole morons? What else to be separated? How about money (Notes) from the "Babi" seller?

From education system, clothing, food, law, restaurant, schools, prays etc etc etc, just name it and everything they want separation. WHY? 

Think back, do they need to be a separation in pussies too? no no no... wrong statement. Pussies are automatically halal...

Sexual harassment in universities: Who cares?

In the last two months, we were confronted with disturbing news of sexual harassment. These ranged from the “rape joke” on 17-year-old Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam, demeaning period spot checks on female students, sexual harassment and assault on Cindy Ong for years during her time as a national swimmer, on Universiti Malaya student 'Soleil Ching' (not her real name) by her associate professor, and recently, reports of sexual harassment of female students at a Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) hostel.

For the victims and their parents, the incidents are traumatic. This harrowing experience is compounded by the feeling of anger and frustration due to the lack of empathy shown by those in authority who fail to take the right and decisive action.

The prevalence of these cases, coupled with the victims' willingness to speak openly, revealed the disturbing extent of sexual harassment cases in this country. All Women’s Action Society (Awam), in their recent survey in April on sexual harassment, recorded 125 cases of period spot checks, 108 cases of bullying, and 88 sexual harassment incidents.

It is pertinent to note here that the gravity of sexual harassment cases in local universities is serious. Cases were known to have been swept under the carpet and complainants were instead demonised and portrayed as troublemakers.

Hostel spot checks similar to that as reported in USM are also common in other universities. As demonstrated by the USM incident, procedures as to how these spot checks are to be conducted were already in place. However, they were often abused and violated.

Spot checks were supposed to be conducted by staff of the same gender. Most hostels even put up signs prohibiting the presence of persons of the opposite gender in the building and vicinity. Whether these rules are strictly observed is rather questionable.

Here I would like to relate to an incident that took place a few years ago at a public university. It was personally related to me by the victims who had already graduated.

Some female students reported that a male stranger managed to slip into their dorms and inappropriately touched them at night when they were sleeping. They also reported that this intruder also stole their undergarments from their drawers. The incident was reported to the university’s top management for them to investigate.

The response from the university was preposterously shocking. Through their “investigation”, the university claimed the intruder was the husband of one of the students who was searching for his wife, but got lost and accidentally entered the wrong dorm.

How this could have taken place is indeed a mystery that only the university could explain. Apart from issuing the finding of their investigation, the university also pledged to install CCTV cameras in the female student hostels. After a few years, the cameras are still nowhere to be seen. Following the issuance of the report by the university, no students dared to complain again.

Another case that was related to me was that of a senior male lecturer who sexually harassed a female student by consistently sending her text messages inviting her to go out on a date. He was ignored by the student. Despite this, he was brazen enough to invite the student to his office so that she could be given another chance to improve her exam grade.

The student was aware that the lecturer, through his actions, lacked moral value and integrity. The best she could do was to ignore him and at the same time try not to antagonise him. Her course results were in his hands and the university’s top management would most likely be on his side.

This is the main reason why most university students would rather suffer in silence. Complaints made on incidents like this would be viewed negatively by the university as this would be seen as an attempt to “mencemarkan nama unversiti” - tarnish the image of the university.

In one university, it was reported that there were some rich old men looking for younger wives and they were eyeing university students as prospective candidates. There would be someone in the university who would do the introduction.

Apart from this, there were also cases of male students who look feminine and suspected of having different sexual orientations being harassed by the hostel officers.

They complained their rooms were constantly raided in their absence, apparently in search of evidence of their sexuality. Most of these students would not want to complain and just accepted this act of harassment as they did not want to have their studies jeopardised.

Female staff members are also not spared from this form of harassment. Their promotion, contract extension, annual performance appraisal, and such are dependent on appraisals made by male office bearers and the top management.

Some of these victims have lodged complaints to the top management, but no action was apparently taken against the harasser. Police reports were also made, but the police would consider this an internal issue and would push the case back to the university.

With no action taken by the university, the harassers were emboldened to continue with this despicable act with impunity.

The victims, on the other hand, would vindictively be discriminated against with the intention of sounding a warning to others who dare to complain. In a case where the victim made a police report, the victim was asked to retract her report by her vice-chancellor.

She was then transferred out of her department and no further action was taken against the harasser. It was a double tragedy for the victim. More sexual harassment cases continued in that department.

The cases illustrated above highlight the attitude adopted by universities on sexual harassment cases. They are seen as a taboo subject, which should not be mentioned let alone acknowledged of its existence. If this were to be allowed to continue, sexual harassment would eventually become an unwanted embedded culture of our universities.

There is an urgent need for the Ministry of Higher Education to initiate the necessary steps in criminalising sexual harassment in universities. Stern action must be taken against the perpetrators. There is also a need to have the right leadership at the universities who are willing to take the appropriate action against such acts.

The Sexual Harassment Bill should be passed as soon as possible by Parliament.

The Ministry of Women, Family, and Community Development should play a more proactive role by giving a safe space for victims and encouraging them to report their cases. Non-governmental organisations like Awam could assist the ministry in helping the victims.

If we continue to have NFA or “no further action”, universities would no longer be a safe place for our future generation to study or work at.

Indeed this is a long writing but I bet it worth reading as it reflect the real situation in the society today. 

In certain countries women is respected and many women has become  Prime minister, a woman in space, a woman Pilot of A380 etc etc.

But or course in certain countries, woman are use as sex slave and woman just have to do the house hold work. Some countries don't allow woman to drive cars. 

And you know what? These countries are all Muslim countries. What more to say?? 

Even in some religion, man are promised many virgins if they kill infidels.  GOD promise and give women for man to FUCK and enjoy all the way of fucking and keep on fucking until end of time.. Isn't that something awesome?

I really don't understand, how a person can be brainwashed with such promise for fuck as a reward from GOD?? This is beyond all mother of fucking I guess.... 

Back to the above article publish in one of the paid media does ring the bell that what we witness is happening in our own country. 

The people in this country have started to copy and do what we never agreed, that woman priority is to satisfied men.

and I believe it is not gong to stop but will grow even worse instead.

Good luck women...
