'MCA go home' vs 'Where was DAP 13 years ago?' at Jonker Walk
What?! Gan qualified his being there as a survey, not to protest? Let alone to lead the protest? Did Mr. Gan Tian Loo realize that the MCA protest carries more weight than DAP protest many times
over. The state government, being UMNO-led government, considers the DAP as the opposition working hand-in-hand with PAS and PKR to oust UMNO from power, rescinding the directive on the request
from DAP leaders will make the party even more popular. I thought, at first, here come the MCA, finally to do what it's supposed to do. Then the expected happened. He got cold feet. The
reporter who covered the protest reported Gan was suddenly cautious . He was like ..."I'm here to lend my support to..the .. no, wait! I am not here to support the traders - but just to do a quick
survey! But I am glad to be standing here with the protesters but reporters, please put it down in black and white I am not, I repeat, am not here as part of the protest. This is the reason the MCA
was shunned, I mean has been shunned by the Chinese. They do not represent the Chinese anymore. They cannot get things done anymore unlike in the old days. Gan admitted his meeting with the chief
minister was fruitless, but would keep trying. Keep trying for what? He should stop embarrassing the MCA and reducing its credibility further by continuing to beg despite being rebuffed earlier.
Again, this proved that the Malaysian Chinese Association has really completely lost its usefulness. If a small matter like Jonker Walk closure was beyond its power then, that 's it.

The following stories may fire your imagination, pique your interest. Some say 1MDB is Malaysia's Sovereign Wealth fund; to others they asked what wealth fund when its total capitalization is just One million ringgit? But, then again, if you think you can look down on the pet idea of the Malaysian prime minister, think again. His idea has the potential of turning the now world famous - or shall we say, infamous - 1Malaysia Development Berhad into a giant corporation you can ever imagine - even bigger than Bill Gate's Microsoft! At least, it could be, if the original course is stayed. It was supposed to inspire Malaysians to think big besides advance growth, according to its slogans screaming out of giant bill boards throughout the country. 'Backed' by the finance ministry who owns it - which means money will never be the problem - it can only succeed. But..it didn't. It failed! That's why it may have piqued many people's curiosity. How can a company flush with cash and can borrow any amount (billions) anytime could fail? Well, this may be in line with your thinking. People have seen since its inception - I mean after its name was changed in 1999 from Trengganu Investment Authority (TIA) to the present - it hasn't done any business! I have used present tense deliberately. It hasn't done any business yet. I mean if you are in business you need to make profit or find ways to make profit. Or close shop. Oh, I had heard about their filings of tax returns and hiring of a couple of internationally known auditors to sign off on their balance sheets; but these concerned only the company's borrowings and interests to be paid. Two massive bonds were issued to the tune of $7 billions. To buy up power plants. Again I want to say if you are in business to make money even investing in independent Power Plants, it should be done with the view to making a profit. The decision may be long term or short term, it doesn't matter, it has to make money, or no deal. May be they have done the right thing. Maybe luck was not on their side. Still, the amount is staggering. I didn't know having or managing so much money can be a problem! But many - especially the Malays - have not given up hope yet. Yes, may be the durians are just ripening; may be they need time and may fall soon!

Malaysia's Vision 2020
By:David Lang
Malaysia is supposed to be on its way to becoming a developed nation, by the year 2020. Will she make it (in less than five years -tick-tuck, tick-tuck)? There is no doubt the year 2020 is coming whether the country is ready or not, and if that will be the only requirement then Malaysia will attain that developed nation status on schedule. There is a question, though, Will Malaysia, or Malaysians, for that matter, be ready for that status as far as their affluence, quality of life's concern? Currently Malaysia's GNI per capita stood at US$10060. According to the World Bank high income economies are those with GNI per capita of US$12,745. And until Malaysians earn much more to be there, the developed nation status may not be achieved even by the year 2020. The futility of declaring a country a high income country when it's not, achieves nothing. May be even counter-productive; it lulls the country into false sense of success and premature celebration. Don't forget China reportedly overtook Japan as the world's second largest economy, but in actual fact China's citizens' ca pita income is a fraction of the incomes of the Japanese who earn $37,000. Chinese incomes range from $13,000. China's gross domestic product, taken as a whole, may beat Japan's, but in term of quality of life, and GNI per capita income, the criteria for a developed nation status, China still has a lot of catching up to do. That's why China still qualifies as recipient of Japan's economic aid meant for developing countries. Comparing with the Chinese per capita domestic product, Malaysia is even worse off. Unless the government bucks up and rushes to create more wealth for its citizens, the Vision 2020 dream may remain just that ..a dream.

What You Should Know About Islam
This article was originally published on MSNBC Newsvine.com
Mon Apr 30, 2912 7:02 AM EDT.By SyriaInTurmoil
Islam, mind you, is like a "One-way Street or "No-through Road."
If you are not blind or illiterate, you you know that these street and road lead to
nowhere, but people won't listen! They, for instance, have to convert to Islam if they want to tie the knots with their Muslim girlfriends, and yet go ahead.
Islam however is not at fault here. There are ample signs - like road signs - which lead to dead end; conversion to Islam is permanent.
I mean once you become a Muslim a Muslim you will always be whether you like or not. Anyone can enter anytime but they are forbidden to leave. Oh, they will say, anyone can leave if a sharia court judge allows it. And I repeat: if a sharia court judge allows it. While it can happen, though, I concede that. But don't count on it as your comfort is my only advice.
All followers of Islam are obligated to convert people of other religions to Islam. It's unthinkable for a sharia judge to sanction you to leave Islam.
Islam is a great religion if you believe in it and want it and can live with it. Just..don't use Islam as a passport to your girlfriends' hearts; to keep your promises to your girlfriends after they consent to have sex with you. Prevention is better than cure here; don't have sex with a Muslim woman if you only want sex but she wants you to marry her. You will end up regretting until you die. There is no way out. Even if after you're dead, you're not free. Once you're confirmed dead, the religious authorities will take charge of your remains to be done Islamic rites and buried in Muslim cemeteries.
Sympathies expected but none extended as far as Muslims are concerned.
Let's discuss how the American Muslims co-exist with fellow Americans.
They call building a mosque next to the ground zero, or overlooking the ground zero, insensitive. But how the Muslims feel and decide - to continue with or abandon the project is left to be seen.
However, listen to this: If there is a controversy or event involving Muslims and they feel they are being targeted or perceived to be targeted, they will cry wolf! wolf! wolf! Yes, they (all of them Muslims) will do that, and boy! how efficiently they respond. All Muslims of every shapes and colors will down tools and come out in unison to condemn: "Islam phobia; hate mongering, bigotry; minority religion under threats; we demand our rights as Americans; we want to expose these people and who are their financiers; we help the police to enforce the laws and yet we are hated, targeted; we will...
Their trade-mark minority-religion under attack remarks have become cliched but will find traction with some Americans (A supposedly white American reportedly had this to say: 'We have Muslim friends, who even used our church to pray 5 times per day while their Mosque is being built or repaired; and they had been our best friends, and will remain our best friends!") Well said, friend; couldn't be better for your Muslim friends, the ones you had in mind and those at large. They certainly need all the support they can get, especially at this moment when they believe "They are under attack."
Ya, there are many white Americans who are easily misled, misguided, naive, and have their heads buried in the sands.
These so-called, out-of-the-norm, do-good Americans (I prefer to call them liberals) think they are clever and have goodwill to spare and dispense? Or just to fish in troubled water? Some people do things mindlessly. Some are in it
cunningly for self-interests. Or selfish interests? They ignore their inner minds
telling them.." your actions will jeopardize your children and grand children and
America's future generations."
Americans are blind if they don't already see the damage already done to American society through this mission creep perpetrated by Muslim Brotherhood through their tireless front line soldiers of American Muslim Associations, and not outright Muslim associations such as AAI, Southern Poverty Law Center, to name a few. who give their all to help the MB realize their dream of converting America.
They are not there yet, but on their way; but their mission creep is creeping.In order to get the resolution to set up the no-fly zone in then Libya, the western powers first used lies (it was about protecting civilians, remember?) to pull wool over people's eyes and then...came mission creep. NATO literally bombed that tiny country back to the stone age. The same scenario is being repeated in America right now.
Are Americans afraid? We should be. I shudder to even imagine what it will be like if the Muslim Brotherhood succeeds.
To understand what we are going to be plagued with in the future unless we act fast, I invite you all to go back in time to the time when the Muslim Brotherhood was down but not out in Egypt, 2008 to be exact. After the
Arab spring came followed by the Cairo square revolution (envisaged, visioned,
planned and instigated by none other than our President Obama), everything changed.
Mubarak was forced out by, again. none other than our pro-Muslim Brotherhood president and his nemesis emerged triumphant. They never looked back since. Now only the Egyptian army stands in their way towards complete control of this center of Arab civilization of 2000 years. They already gained control of the Egyptian parliament and you know what that means? It means they replace their nemesis, former president, Hosni Mubarak. Almost; yes, they are on their way and already they had made clear to the dreading Israelis across the Sinai desert, that Jews will be in for a tough time.
But the Israelis are not alone who are dismayed by the turn of events: the 80 millions Egyptians now have found themselves yearning for the good old days under Mubarak's tyrannous secular government, and the MB have not implemented anything they have been meaning to implement yet.
It's obvious they can't trust the MB, who promised to not run for president, at first, but later went back on their words, just like that. Whether the Muslim Brotherhood gets to rule Egypt under sharia law or not depends on the Egyptian people who (alone) can decide. If the Egyptian voters - especially women voters - are naive, they only have themselves to blame (if the MB comes to power and carries out their threats to impose sharia laws and cancel the peace treaty with Israel).
Although they could rely on the Egyptian military to thwart the Islamist, there is no guarantee President Obama won't come to the Muslim Brotherhood's aid again. At this
writing there was news that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton might be sent to Cairo to do some arm-twisting ..on Obama's behalf ..of whom? The Military Council led by Marshall Tantawi, of course.
Similarly; if the MB triumphs in America - which is likely, especially if Obama says so - and subjects us to sharia, it's our own faults, collectively.
It's we the majority who allow a tiny few like the Southern Poverty Law Center, the AAI, and others, whites - who decried Pam Geller's Stop Islamization of America drive; and so they rushed to come up with their own meeting called Stop Islamophobia in a town hall to discredit Pam Geller's meeting in the memory of Jessica Moktad who was repeatedly raped and, when according to police she threatened to reveal all, killed - to act with carte blanche and embolden the MB and their followers. We allow SPLC to label the Stop Islamization of America headed by Pam Geller and Robert Spenser hate group, just like that.
It's unknown what gave them the power to label others at will like that, and why?
If we allow people with vested interests to act with carte blanche purportedly on our behalf (Like Congressman Keith Ellison who shamelessly cried during Congressman Peter King's meeting to discuss the creeping islamization of America, to which he was invited and during which he didn't mince his words in condemnation of Congressman King, we are just asking for troubles. Troubles will follow us every where until we stop them).
Congressman's shedding of crocodile tears during that meeting however gave birth to derision for him on the internet for months and became virulent. After which he became a hiatus.Perhaps there were too many questions for him to answer - why since he's so love being a Muslim or defending Islam, why he chose to masquerade as a Christian by using Christian name Keith Maurice Ellison.
If he's in a Muslim country in Asia he will be in deep trouble; he wouldn't last a year if he does or uses things even remotely associated with Christianity, let alone sporting a Christian name. The religious authorities will send him for religious counseling until cleansed. That's if Muslim vigilantes didn't get to him first).
The Muslims themselves not only remained silent or refused to condemn the crime perpetrated against the poor 20 year old deceased in the prime of life, but chose to go after those who they perceived to be a threat to their way of life: honor killing.
Personally, I have nothing against their culture and way of life. I also want Pam Geller to cease fighting for twenty-year dead girl. There is no way you can win. Period.
Even the deceased's own mother showed so little concern for her flesh and blood what to expect. Pam Geller claimed she was being harassed by the murdered girl's mother. No, it isn't true! I don't believe it. Jessica's own mother only wants injustice for her own offspring? I can't believe it. If it's true, don't expect much from this mother. In fact, she should be deported to her country of origin, if she's not local born. For a mother who turned away from protecting her own daughter doesn't deserve to live in America. So too those Americans, mostly white Americans, unfortunately, who saw fit to fight against Pam Geller for trying to highlight a horrible practice in Muslim society: honor killing; so horrible and all the more horrible, when it's used to hide a crime.
That's why I want to ask Pam Geller to concentrate on fighting Islamization of America. Forget about trying to change people's way of life.
Americans black or
white, or Hispanics, the majority, must must not remain silent, speak out now. Don't
allow the minority to ride roughshod over you and your future generations.
For
starter, Americans should put these naive American few who label themselves as Southern Poverty Law Center and AAI in their place, telling them they have no place in America, and uphold Pam Geller and Robert Spenser.Turn up in large number will send a clear enough message in case you don't like to disparage other people, Muslims or not. Just turn up at the venue where Pam Geller and Robert Spenser say they are going to hold their meeting. Never be intimidated by Pam's opponents' statements or uncompromising stands; they are just like the rest of us, human beings. If we have fears they also have fears.
We should not compromise with our children and grand children's choices.We should respect our fellow Muslim Americans and their choices as we expect them to respect us, and by extension, our children and grand children's choices.
As for Jim Zogby (Is he a Jew; his name sounds like he's?) and the likes of him, don't use violence against him but please be nice and say: "Mr. Jim Zogby, we respect you as a fellow American highly but we have to tell you to stop attacking Pam Geller and Robert Spenser. This country is big enough for all the Pam Geller and Robert Spensers and Jim Zogbys, or our friends the Muslims. JUST DON'T try to disrupt others' plans and activities. That's all we ask of ..."
