(The Star) - Controversial PAS leader Datuk Dr Hasan Ali joined a rare raid on drinking spots at Mutiara Damansara and Petaling Jaya, which saw the arrest of 41 Muslims.
Among those nabbed in Ops Mungkar were 18 people who were caught taking alcohol, an offence under Selangor's syariah law.
They include six women.
Dr Hasan said the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) has strong evidence to charge them for alcohol consumption under the Syariah Criminal Enactment 1995, which provides for a jail term of up to two years and a fine of not more than RM3,000, or both.
Unlike other states, Selangor does not whip offenders caught drinking alcohol.
Dr Hasan said the other 23 pub goers caught in the raid, including 13 women, would be required to attend counselling sessions.
“They will have to give their statements on Jan 11 and 12, before Jais fixes the dates for counselling,” he said at the Jais office here yesterday.
He said the raiding party, which included the Bukit Aman police, was led by Jais director Datuk Marzuki Hussin following a tip-off. Those arrested were aged between 18 and 58.
“We could see there was entertainment going on and the drinking (of alcohol),” said Dr Hasan, who is in charge of Islamic affairs in the state executive council.
He refuted suggestions that the operation was connected to the recent controversies surrounding him.
Dr Hasan, the former Selangor PAS commissioner, is embroiled in a feud with the leadership over the party's policy switch from an Islamic state agenda to a welfare state.
In August, he defended the Jais checks on the Damansara Utama Methodist Church and had also locked horns with the state over the sale of alcoholic beverages at convenience stores and the mushrooming of massage centres.

PAS should get rid of hassan ali for good. He is trying to show that PAS is an extremist party as compared to umno and instigate peoples' anger towards Selangor government. Why he is there during the raid is anybody's guest. He represent PAS as a councillor and jais is not under the Selangor government control anymore.

Why legalise the sale of alcohol in Malaysia in the first place? Could it because the tax revenue is so lucrative for the Government not to collect? Just wonder where the Government park this income under the National GDP? Even if the Muslims are caught drinking alcohol in public places, it is actually the total failure of JAIS to “dakwah” those Muslims right from the beginning of their religious education. By the way, what kind of religious education system that we have currently? Isn't corruption and looting the peoples' money is more heinous crime than some poor souls having alcohol drinks that are easily available anywhere in Malaysia?
If MCA leadership is led by a scandal-tainted and immoral president, Dr Chua Soi Lek........ What about UMNO leadership, then?
Two time bombs have exploded in the MCA in the past two days
By Jackson Ng, Retired Journalist
TWO time bombs have exploded in the MCA in the past two days but the mainstream media, especially MCA’s mouthpiece, The Star, has down played the news.
About 1,000 MCA members from Penang and Johor have resigned en bloc and they cite the loss of confidence in the party leadership as their reason for quitting.
The resignations are only the tip of the iceberg and it signals the beginning of the imploding of Barisan Nasional (BN)’s second largest component party.
According to a few of those who quit but did not want to be named, more MCA members nationwide are expected to quit in the run-up to the next general election.
The mainstream media are down playing the news because it is a major blow for the MCA and BN’s preparations for the general election widely expected to be called by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in February or March.
Those who quit say they had lost confidence in the MCA leadership because it is led by a scandal-tainted and immoral president, Dr Chua Soi Lek.
“Whenever he speaks on any issue, it backfires and is a laughing stock of the people or grassroots. This is because Chua is in no position to talk about issues on morality and integrity.
“We cannot continue to be associated with such a leader and his cronies who are only looking after their own interest and positions,” said a former MCA member who is known to this writer.
Citing recent events and issues, the former member said: “It is embarrassing to MCA for Chua to talk about freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
“What is he talking about when the first thing he (Chua) did when he won the presidency by fluke was to place The Star directly under the control of the party.
“The paper is now under the overall control of a panel that includes his son (Tee Yong) as a key member. He also appointed his son in government positions.
“The MCA leadership is now led by a man who is morally tainted and one who practices nepotism and cronyism to turn the party into his family’s empire,” he added.
Another former member added: “Just watch how MCA implodes in the run-up to the 13th General Election. At least 30 per cent of its members will eventually abandon the party by polling day.”
In another development, party insiders say Selangor MCA is in shambles following a fallout between Chua and state MCA chief Donald Lim Siang Chai.
As the state chief, Lim does not even have the say to decide which seat to contest.
Lim is said to be eyeing the Selayang parliamentary seat but Chua already has someone else in mind – possibly a woman candidate.
What is telling is that Lim does not even have the confidence to try and wrest back his former seat - PJ Selatan – where he was beaten by PKR’s Hee Loy Sian by 5,706 votes in 2008.
Party insiders say the backdoor Deputy Finance Minister Senator is now desperate and is manoeuvring to get what he wants.
The insiders say it would be most interesting to see how severely Selangor MCA would be split by the Chua-Lim tussle for control of the state.

MCA members had planted explosives into the party that they were hoping to build when they accepted CSL as their president. Therefore it comes as no surprise when you said that MCA is imploding. How can a President (who admitted that he was the person caught with his pants down) earn respect from the Chinese community (at least) that he claims to be representing through the party? How do you expect the women folks to vote for the party that supports such an obnoxious character? A vote for the party would mean supporting someone who would not hesitate to have sex with another woman behind his wife's back. If he can double-cross his wife who is his life partner, who else can he not double-cross? Just food for your thought: Can you get good apples if you toss a good apple into a barrel of bad apples? Similarly, can you change a bad apple into a good one if you throw a bad apple into a barrel of good apples? Perhaps this will help to answer what we expect of BN component parties. ...

1. Even if all the pendatangs cina-kui kafir infidels resign (unlikely, as long as some of the infidels have their snouts in the UMNO gravy train), MCA will live on because UMNO have the confidence that it will live on and to continue finance them.
2. Don't believe this "tip of the ice berg" rumours... who in our beloved nation has seen any ice-bergs in the straits of Melaka or the South China (Ugh!) Sea (soon to be named "Laut UMNO" or better still "Laut C4 Ro$mak"). So this is a figment of imagination of some anti-national, kafir elements.
3. For the 1000s that's supposed to have resigned, we can replace them with Ailah-fearing non-pork eating clones of Rithaudeen Tee or Frogg Hee... the best MCA support tax money can buy, courtesy of UMNO.

Half of the MCA members are STUPID; hence Chua's resurrection as its president.

Despite all the Sun-Tze stuff they talk about, they hardly know what is STRATEGY. Sun-Tze was a master of DECEPTIONS, not a strategist!!!
Any chap who claims he can read the character of a person by looking at the subject's face will tell you Chua is. No-good fellow. Take a look at his images more closely, doesn't he looks like Kim Jong-il - not in looks but in demeanours???
Many who joined MCA did have good intentions. But no sooner they will get sucked in by the lip-service, self-serving and outright corrupt culture there. I had had a first-hand experience.

PM Najib is being advised by some of the "best" strategists from the States. These are of the McKinsey or Boston Consulting group types of young boys and girls. They only know one model: The end justifies the means. Machiavelli is their God........
STEADYAKU47
UMNO is full of failed leaders. More of their first tier leaders have, at one time or another, left UMNO than have stayed. Tunku, Hussein Onn, Mahathir, Tengku Razaleigh, Musa Hitam, Anwar Ibrahim and maybe Mahathir again if he does not have his way in the run up to the 13th general elections. Some have done so out of spite, some out of a sense of moral responsibility while some chose to do politics outside UMNO. I look at Najib today and see a man out of his depth in a job he is ill equipped to handle.
He is clearly not a leader able to put two separate pieces of information together in his head – what more process the numerous inputs coming in from all angles and sources – and digest them before making the necessary decisions that would affect his party, his people and his country.
It is tragic for us and our country that this incompetent leader is advised by people whose vested interest overwhelms all other considerations. UMNO is obsessed with one thing and one thing only – how to hang on to power. There is no competent strategy of what to do with the malaise that has now overtaken our country because of this obsession for power over these last 50 years. No competent strategy of how to move on after the 13th general election. These UMNO goons have no plans beyond taking back power in the 13th general election. It would seem that should power be theirs again after the 13th general election it would be back to the orgy of plundering and pillaging of our country wealth and resources!
Who advises Najib? Mahathir? The same Mahathir that wants his so called ‘legacy’ wreck asunder by Pak Lah to now be ‘protected’ by Najib? What legacy? Abuses and incompetence would more appropriately describe the 20 over years of Mahathir’s rule. This same Mahathir has already fast tracked his son into Cabinet! Now he stands poised to ‘negotiate’ with Najib his support for Najib in the coming 13th general election in return for what? The crooked bridge in Johore? A minister ship for his son? The protection of his crony business interest because without the OSA he would be exposed as having betrayed the trust put upon him by the people to safeguard the interest of the nation rather then to abuse it by giving lucrative IPP and other projects and contracts to his cronies? What sort of advise would Mahathir give to Najib? Surely no advise that would benefit our nations interest and its people!
He is advised by UMNO leaders? Take Isa Samad and Thamby Chik – what advise would they give Najib that would benefit the rural Malays that are under their purview? These are two UMNO rejects that has to be recycled because UMNO has need for Isa’s proficiency in money politics and Thamby Chik expertise for gutter politics. It sickens me to the core to have these still titled dregs of human society in position of such responsibilities!
What advised has Najib been given to deal with the opposition – Pakatan Rakyat? His first foray into opposition territory was infamously successful with the taking of Perak from Pakatan Rakyat – not through the electoral process but through the baiting of opposition MP’s to cross over to Barisan Nasional. I will leave it to your imagination to figure out what bait was used. Suffice to say that apart from that bait, the Sultan and the Judiciary were co-opted to come onto Barisan Nasional side. What the price was for the capitulation of the Sultan and the Judiciary is still to be tabulated but we have a fair idea what the final costs will be!
After Perak Najib embarked on a relentless vendetta against the opposition. At times even death, as in Teoh Beng Hock’s, did not dimmed the enthusiasm of the offending mechanism used to harass the opposition. As if one death was not enough, it took another death before MACC began to get its act together – hopefully it will not regress to what it was before – a running dog for UMNO’s political agenda.
And now it would seem that only the jailing of the opposition leader would satisfy Najib. What have we regressed to? Somalia, Chad, Zimbabwe or the Democratic Repblic of Congo? In these places arrest warrants and the judiciary are weapons of choice for the government to neutralize any opposition!

They only know one model: The end justifies the means. Machiavelli is their god. (No thanks to Oxford Dictionary, Nicolo Macihiavelli was actually a great statesman, not a politician of the UMNO variety!) Power is everything. As a Chinese saying goes; power can even make hantu do your biddings! Mahathir made corruption a respectable culture, Badawi glorified mediocrity of the highest order, and Nabib out-does everybody, he chooses to swallow wholesale! With RM9 billion, you can buy an aircraft carrier - with money to spare - let alone six silly patrol boats! I leave it to you go imagine the loot! Indonesia used to be a basket case in corruption. Suharto's wife was known as Mrs Ten. But ours is Mr 3-to-10 fold!!! Only Phillipines can match us -with their Marcos and Arroyo. But the situation did get better.

It is an unwritten fact that MACC is one of the brances of UMNO's gestapo. The others are OSA, PDRM, Peaceful Assembly Act, etc. When a government looks after the interests of its people, it is a good government. Who cares whether it is communist, democratic or socialist or whatever name you call it. It is s good government.

UMNO will never change and would continue to remain as autocratic, draconic and mafia association. Najib is probably seen as the worst Prime Minister in Malaysia and it will be only a matter of time when things will turn for the worst.
It’s too bad when the same crazy person who was behind the troubled UMNO in 1988, and also sacked many of his enemy who opposed him (Musa Hitam, Razaleigh, Anwar & Pak Lah) is the same one who brought Najib in to power.
As long as Mamaktaik is around, UMNO would never be in peace. ...

UMNO is full of failed leaders. More of their first tier leaders have, at one time or another, left UMNO than have stayed. Tunku, Hussein Onn, Mahathir, Tengku Razaleigh, Musa Hitam, Anwar Ibrahim and maybe Mahathir again if he does not have his way in the run up to the 13th general elections. Some have done so out of spite, some out of a sense of moral responsibility while some chose to do politics outside UMNO. I look at Najib today and see a man out of his depth in a job he is ill equipped to handle.
He is clearly not a leader able to put two separate pieces of information together in his head – what more process the numerous inputs coming in from all angles and sources – and digest them before making the necessary decisions that would affect his party, his people and his country.
It is tragic for us and our country that this incompetent leader is advised by people whose vested interest overwhelms all other considerations. UMNO is obsessed with one thing and one thing only – how to hang on to power. There is no competent strategy of what to do with the malaise that has now overtaken our country because of this obsession for power over these last 50 years. No competent strategy of how to move on after the 13th general election. These UMNO goons have no plans beyond taking back power in the 13th general election. It would seem that should power be theirs again after the 13th general election it would be back to the orgy of plundering and pillaging of our country wealth and resources!
Who advises Najib? Mahathir? The same Mahathir that wants his so called ‘legacy’ wreck asunder by Pak Lah to now be ‘protected’ by Najib? What legacy? Abuses and incompetence would more appropriately describe the 20 over years of Mahathir’s rule. This same Mahathir has already fast tracked his son into Cabinet! Now he stands poised to ‘negotiate’ with Najib his support for Najib in the coming 13th general election in return for what? The crooked bridge in Johore? A minister ship for his son? The protection of his crony business interest because without the OSA he would be exposed as having betrayed the trust put upon him by the people to safeguard the interest of the nation rather then to abuse it by giving lucrative IPP and other projects and contracts to his cronies? What sort of advise would Mahathir give to Najib? Surely no advise that would benefit our nations interest and its people!
He is advised by UMNO leaders? Take Isa Samad and Thamby Chik – what advise would they give Najib that would benefit the rural Malays that are under their purview? These are two UMNO rejects that has to be recycled because UMNO has need for Isa’s proficiency in money politics and Thamby Chik expertise for gutter politics. It sickens me to the core to have these still titled dregs of human society in position of such responsibilities!
What advised has Najib been given to deal with the opposition – Pakatan Rakyat? His first foray into opposition territory was infamously successful with the taking of Perak from Pakatan Rakyat – not through the electoral process but through the baiting of opposition MP’s to cross over to Barisan Nasional. I will leave it to your imagination to figure out what bait was used. Suffice to say that apart from that bait, the Sultan and the Judiciary were co-opted to come onto Barisan Nasional side. What the price was for the capitulation of the Sultan and the Judiciary is still to be tabulated but we have a fair idea what the final costs will be!
After Perak Najib embarked on a relentless vendetta against the opposition. At times even death, as in Teoh Beng Hock’s, did not dimmed the enthusiasm of the offending mechanism used to harass the opposition. As if one death was not enough, it took another death before MACC began to get its act together – hopefully it will not regress to what it was before – a running dog for UMNO’s political agenda.
And now it would seem that only the jailing of the opposition leader would satisfy Najib. What have we regressed to? Somalia, Chad, Zimbabwe or the Democratic Repblic of Congo? In these places arrest warrants and the judiciary are weapons of choice for the government to neutralize any opposition!

I believe Najib is being advised by some of the "best" strategists from the States. These are of the McKinsey or Boston Consulting group types of young boys and girls. They only know one model: The end justifies the means. Machiavelli is their god. (No thanks to Oxford Dictionary, Nicolo Macihiavelli was actually a great statesman, not a politician of the UMNO variety!) Power is everything. As a Chinese saying goes; power can even make hantu do your biddings! Mahathir made corruption a respectable culture, Badawi glorified mediocrity of the highest order, and Nabib out-does everybody, he chooses to swallow wholesale! With RM9 billion, you can buy an aircraft carrier - with money to spare - let alone six silly patrol boats! I leave it to you go imagine the loot! Indonesia used to be a basket case in corruption. Suharto's wife was known as Mrs Ten. But ours is Mr 3-to-10 fold!!! Only Phillipines can match us -with their Marcos and Arroyo. But the situation did get better. Whereas in our case, things seem to head for a bottomless pit. How sad! ...

It is an unwritten fact that MACC is one of the brances of UMNO's gestapo. The others are OSA, PDRM, Peaceful Assembly Act, etc. When a government looks after the interests of its people, it is a good government. Who cares whether it is communist, democratic or socialist or whatever name you call it. It is s good government. What is so proud to be call democratic country when your government looks after the interest of the politicians' pocket rather than the people's pockets. It is a bad government. period. Unless you are uncivilised, can you be proud of this country? ...

And after victory at the 13th general election what else do they want? A responsible and accountable government. And good governance. And then? Prosecute those leaders who had abuse the trust place upon them by the people.
This is the scariest prospect face by B.N. people, this explain why they have to win at all cost, by the way such time will come sooner or later, by the way the new Gomen must build thousands of jail cells to house these criminals. ...

"MELAYU AKAN HILANG DIDUNIA...AKHIR NYA!!"
The "Malay World" is actually very small.........
Regardless of Article 153, UMNO can Malay this, and Malay that, and yet, I find it both amusing and sad that they are claiming the "Superiority" of a clan which is actually fast diminishing.
By John Doe
Everyday we hear of someone screaming and shouting about Article 153. Article 153 seems to be the Bane-of-Malaysian-Unity, the Bondage-of-UMNO, and the Brunt-of-Kopitiam-Discussions. Somehow, dress like, speak like, practise customs like, and is Muslim defines a race. Race, race, race, race. That's all Malaysians are bombarded with all day long. Has Malaysia no "udder" better topics to speak about? Chinese-Indian-Malay this, Chinese-Indian-Malay that. This will be the last time I will discuss this. And once and for all put to rest all this nonsensical cloak-and-dagger discussions.
Before I begin, and this is trained at Pakatan Rakyat - STOP screaming about Tax-Payers' Money. 90% of Malaysians do NOT care! Why? Because only 10% of the Malaysian Population pays Tax. And those who do NOT pay Tax, do NOT care! The majority of Malaysian Government's income comes from Oil Money. And to stop UMNO, you have to stop their source of income. This Oil income is circa 45% of Malaysia's Wealth. Capisce? And why do I bring Oil into the formula? Simple! The Majority of oil comes from Borneo. And in Borneo, there are only 11% Malays in Sabah. And once you deduct the percentage of Melanaus in Sarawak, you are left with about 3% Malays in Sarawak.
Number one:
Melanaus are Melanaus. Malays are Malays. Ibans are Ibans. And you will never hear anyone speak about the Teochew race. Since when is a Chinese Muslim a Malay? And since when is a Kerala-boy a Malay?
Number two:
Konvensyen Dunia Melayu proudly proclaims that the "Malay-World" has a population which includes Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Burma and Vietnam. Sounds dandy. But to the average person, this is confusing. It seems to suggest that all of Thailand, which has a population of circa 60 million is Malay. However, for that to happen, then Konvensyen Dunia Melayu needs to accept that you MUST also accept the definition of a Buddhist Malay in Indochine, Hindu Malay in Bali, and Abangan Malay in Jowo, as well as a Catholic Malay in the Philippines!! Clearly, these countries are as Austronesian (Malay) as the samples found in Malaysia, but they are definitely not Muslim.
Konvensyen Dunia Melayu needs to trim their numbers down by quite a bit then. Let's start with some of the Major-slashings. (You do the math yourself.) Approximately 80% of all Javanese are of the Abangan Religion, and Jowo has a population of about 120 Million. Bali is 93% Hindu, Philippines is 87% Catholic, and less than 2% of Thais are Muslim.
And what about Malaysia then?
According to the latest Census, despite all the body-snatching, conversions of Chinese, and Indians for Business Purposes, conversion of Chinese and Indians for Marriage Purposes, plus the deeply encouraged importation of Indonesian Muslims, Project IC of the Philippino Muslims, Southern Thai Muslims, Bangala Muslims, India's Muslims, Pakistan's Muslims, heck, even Serbia's and Palestinian Muslims and the insistence that "Malays" needing to breed 16.3 children per woman, it is perhaps SHOCKING to reveal that the census of Malaysia in the year 2011 proudly announces that:
"Malays are (now finally) the largest ethnic group in the country, comprising 50.1 per cent of the 27,484,596 total"
Taken from Here: http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/census-population-hits-27.5m-mark/
Wait a minute!?! ONLY 50.1 PERCENT? Yes. It reads correctly. What happened to the 68% Malay-Muslim the Main-Stream-Media had always advertised, and insisted that we believe?? You mean now, and only now there are 50.1% Malays in Malaysia? Was there a drop in Islamic popularity? An 18% drop is a serious concern, by everyone involved. Regardless, let's assume that the 50.1% is not faked in any way ....
What if we deducted all the Chinese Muslims, all the Indian Muslims, and all the "dan lain-lain Muslims", what percentage would we end up with? 30%? Less? (Yea, yea, we all know guys like Abdullah Tee, Mahathir, and his koncho-koncho are called "Malay" because of Article 153.) What if we also deducted all the Malays who have been successfully proselytized? Yea, all those closet Hindu Malays, and Buddhist Malays, Catholic & Christian Malays, Jewish Malays, Hare Krishna Malays, Bahai Malays, Mahakari Malays Zoroastrian Malays and Atheist Malays .... What numbers then would we have? 20%? Less?
What was it ten years ago? What was it 30 years ago, and what was it half a century ago?
Who is a Malay?
A 1974 document issued to the United Nations by the Government of Malaysia, prepared by DOROTHY Z. FERNANDEZ, AMOS H. HAWLEY, SILVIA PREDAZA, defines "Malay" as:
"... Malay: Malay, Indonesian, Negrito, Jakun, Semai, Semdai,Temiar, Other Orang Asli and Other Malay(s)..."
Hold on a second ... A Negrito, Jakun, Semai, Semdai,Temiar, Other Orang Asli are Muslim? What happened to Article 153?
Also, why is every Indonesian on Malaysian soil considered a "Malay"? There is also no mention of the word Bumiputra in that Document at all. Mind you that this was prepared in 1974, and Article 153 was already almost twenty years old!!
What is interesting to note is a particular paragraph which reads like this, and I quote verbatim:
"...There was also an immigration of Malays from the neighboring islands, particularly from Java and Sumatra, to work on the rubber estates. It is not possible to trace their numbers through the early years. Attempts were made to identify "Malays and Other Natives of the Archipelego" in the enumerations of 1891 and 1911, but the ease of assimilation of Malay migrants from Indonesia made the counts very unreliable..."
What then is all this nonsense about "Malays" NOT being "pendatangs" and all?
Read again the above. It clearly and plainly states "immigration of Malays from neighboring Islands, particularly Java and Sumatra..."
If this sentence does not define "Pendatang Malay", then I don't know what does!!! I must remind you that this is indeed a Malaysian Government Official Document, prepared for the United Nations.
What is significant in this document, is that on page 16, it gives a breakdown of the races. Including all the (in their own words) "Pendatangs".
The "Malay" Population in Malaysia totaled 3,125,474, the Chinese 2,333,756, and the Indians 696,186. It is strange that there was no "dan lain-lain" category. As if they did not exist at all. The total population in this table is drafted at 6,278.758. And thus, we can deduce that if we added 3,125,474 (Malay) to 2,333,756(Chinese) and 696,186(Indian), and subtracted this number from the grand total of 6,278.758, we would have the numbers for the "dan lain-lain" category, which amounts to 123,342. However, when one divides 3,125,474 (including Indonesians, Orang Asli's, Sabahans, and Sarawakians etc etc) by the total population of 6,278.758, then you would hit an astonishing figure of 49.778539%.
Hold on a minute now. You mean that despite all those inclusions of "Pendatang Indonesians" and Sabahans, and Sarawakians (they are classified as the "other Malays") and just about everyone else, the total "Malay" population in 1974, in percentage terms was only 49.778539% ? Anyone else can see the number-manipulations which has been going on now right under your noses?
The full document in PDF form can be downloaded here: http://www.cicred.org/Eng/Publications/pdf/c-c34.pdf
(Yes, it was typed with a typewriter. Clickety-clack, smudges and all)
Number Three:
DNA, according to Prof Zilfalil Alwi, defines "Malay" as an admixture of multiple races with 52% coming from Chinese DNA, and the rest, from Indians, amongst others. The long and short of it, a term which most Malaysians endear, "Chindian". Another theory presented by Professor Zilfalil was that early Malays could also be Indian priests who came to the Malay peninsula to spread Hinduism. Sejarah Melayu fortifies this when it recorded that the first Kings of Malaya were indeed of the Keling stock, which I wrote about here, titled "Parameswara is a certified Singaporean Keling - Not a Joke"
You can read the full piece here: http://malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/letterssurat/43394-parameswara-is-a-certified-singaporean-keling-not-a-joke
You can read about the Malay DNA piece here: http://www.asiaone.com/print/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Malaysia/Story/A1Story20111026-307064.html
On Dec 23rd 2011, on USM's own website, they presented this again
Read it yourself from the horse's own mouth here: http://www.usm.my/index.php/about-usm/news-archive/66-news-highlight/5956-DNA-MAPPING-PROVE-ASIANS-HAVE-SAME-GENETIC-ANCESTRY-.html
I will call your attention however, to one of Prof Zilfalil Alwi's own statements, and that is "...From his presentation, the 'Indianisation' of the Malay peninsula was described in early Chinese accounts, where there was a Hindu kingdom...", and the only thing which I want to stress, is that they are called "Chinese Records" because the Chinese were already in Geographical Malaya. And being a Hindu certainly does NOT make one an Indian!! Race and Religion do NOT correlate. Country borders and religion does have a correlation though, and that is something else to think about.
Number Four:
Why is it that once a Chinese or an Indian converts to Islam, they have to change their name(s) to an Arabic one, and inadvertently put Abdullah as your father's name?
Perhaps Malay Muslims have never heard or come across Hui Liangyu (China vice premier) and Sania Mirza (tennis player). Their names never resembled anything Arabic but they are well-known Muslims. This includes Yvonne Redley (a reporter once detained by Taliban), Nicolas Anelka and Frank Ribery (both footballers) are still proud to be called by their original name despite their conversion to Islam. It is important to note that none carry the "bin Abdullah" suffix.
Many become Muslims when they want to marry a Muslim while others convert to Islam as a means of tapping in to the social and economic benefits that Muslims enjoy. This is certainly an excellent way to promote one's religion.
Number Five:
The Baju Melayu is NOT Muslim clothing. Neither is the Songkok. I guarantee you that neither the Prophet Muhammad, nor any of his 10,000 Soldiers wore the Baju Melayu. Unless of course, someone from UMNO tells you that Prophet Muhammad was a Malay!! The Songkok clearly comes from the Bataks of Medan, who in turn were either inspired or (more likely) copied it from Nehru in India. The Kopiah, on the other hand, is as Jewish as it is Islamic. (Google "Religious Skullcap" yourself.) The Jewish word for it is "kippah". For those who do not know, the French government banned the wearing of kippot, hijabs and large crosses in public primary and secondary schools in France in March 2004. Contrary to what you were told, the French were NOT only banning the Hijab. In fact, one could proudly wear the baju Melayu in France and no one gives a hoot, because it is NOT Muslim clothing, and is not recognised as so.
Number Six:
The 20-point agreement and the (now erased) 18-point agreement between the Federation and Borneo can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20-point_agreement
How many of these have been violated? Anyone been to Kuching would note that the street-signs are all in English (most of them anyway.).
I want to point your attention to
Point 12: Special position of indigenous races
"In principle the indigenous races of North Borneo should enjoy special rights analogous to those enjoyed by Malays in Malaya, "
This in essence means that there is absolutely no need for conversion to any religion other than their own to enjoy the same details of Article 153. Failure to comply with this probably allows for both Sabah and Sarawak to "un-join" themselves like what happened to Singapore.
Although, this remains the prerogative of the future "Republic of Borneo" citizens to decide. That is the true trademark of Democracy. Decision by the people, and not decision by the Dictators, and this is perhaps the best explanation of what is happening around the world. Regime after Regime is collapsing one by one. Perhaps the UN would welcome the "Republic of Borneo" as its 197th country after Sudan (North and South?) Borneo certainly has the resources to do so, and if they exercised "skill procurement" like Singapore, they can continue to "brain-drain" the peninsular of her top Academics, and trained professionals. The Oil wells will certainly carry her through the year 2030, especially with Rigs like "Kiki" being one of the top producers beating the combined wealth of all of Miri's oil rigs (but that's another story).
I'm also pretty sure that Pakatan Rakyat would assist you in gaining this independence, as their assurances of fairness to all, based on their Championing of Human RIghts, Voice-of-the-People Battle-Cry and so on would be happy to grant you this, if you collaborated with them before the coming 13th General Elections. After all, it's a win-win situation. Pakatan gets to defeat UMNO, and the "Republic of Borneo" is born. What a fantastic photo-finish!! No longer will Penans have to be raped, no longer will Taib be robbing Sarawak, and Bruno Manser's body may finally be found after all these years. For West Malaysians, it makes no difference to you at all. Most of you have never been there anyway, and even if you did today, you still need to show either your Passport (before) or show your MyKad (aka IC).
So, in addressing Abraham-son-of-Ali's statement about Article 153 and the church, and it's relevance to May 13th, what is the relationship? Are you telling everyone that Perkasa would launch another May 13th if "dan lain-lains" start to debate Article 153?
As shown above, the Borneo people have been denied their Bornean Article 12 Rights. Are you defending the Bornean Article 12 as well? Was Article 153 written by Prophet Muhammad? Is Article 153 called a Hadith? The Koran? Is this man-made document so "Holy" that it cannot be changed?
I know for a fact the Malaysian Constipation has already been changed almost 600 times since 1957. With the "most significant change" pertaining to the de-clawing of the Sultans. Proselytizing of Muslims? You want evidence? Sure, I'll give you evidence. Just read here:
(A kid with internet access would have found these easily): http://www.strategicnetwork.org/index.php?loc=kb&view=v&id=2557&fto=633&
and here: http://www.partnersintl.org/partners/se/mymw
Go ahead. The evidence is clear. Arrest them! Hang them, stone them, or decapitate them. Show the world that Malaysia is indeed NOT the moderate Muslim country which she pretends to be!! And all because of a few over-zealous individuals who pretend to be "Holier-than-Thou" whilst digging their hands into the wealth of the country, and robbing it blind!
What happened to Article 11 of the Federal Constipation? Did Abraham-son-of-Ali erase it? Did he also erase Sarawak's 18-point agreement? It's certainly contained within the same Constipation which he screams and rants about (while saying three times on Al Jazeera as well). So where does that leave us?
The truth of the matter is, the "Malay World" is actually very small. Regardless of Article 153, UMNO can Malay this, and Malay that, and yet, I find it both amusing and sad that they are claiming the "Superiority" of a clan which is actually fast diminishing. Javanese are now called Melayu, Bugis are now called Melayu, Acehnese are now called Melayu, Minangs are called Melayu and even Southern Thais, and Southern Philippinos are called Melayu. What exactly is so important about being a Melayu which warrants the attack on the Nons?
Prophet Muhammad was certainly NOT a Malay, and hence, the "Ketuanan Melayu" is pure bollocks. Who are you trying to impress? Article 153 is man-made, man-written, and man-changeable. Who knows if we continue to let UMNO Dictate the future of Malaysia, one day, UMNO might declare that Allah is a Malay??

Someone mentioned somewhere about the Demak kingdom in Java. The founder was a Chinese, albeit of Muslim faith. He was instrumental in the Islamisation of Java.Both he and his son remain Indonesia's national heroes. But few Indonesians actually know this fact. Please read "The Early Kingdoms of the Indonesian Archipelago and Maly Peninsula" written by a French historian, whose name I cannot remember off-hand. (You can get it from Amazon.com.)
Many Cambodians are actually of the "Malay" stock, but they are predominantly Buddhist today. How ironical! Let's don't get too worked up over race arguments. Cantonese are 70% Han and 30% "Bai", but does this make them less Chinese? Only Chen Shui-bien thinks he is not a Chinese. Ditto Ridzuan Tee Abdullah.

The oldest mosque found in China was built about 1200 years ago while the oldest mosque found in Malay Polynesia was built 500 years ago (The one found in Demak Indonesia)
So.. That means that 1200 years ago, the Chinese people were the blessed people (for believing & accepting Allah and His revelations) while The Malay Tribes at that time were still in the middle of nowhere… perhaps they were "still “belum pakai baju dan sunat”.
Heheheh... Melayu jangan marah tau....! ..

Ha Ha ! Oh Yes , its the Malaysian Constipation alright. That is what happens when one suffers from chronic constipation. The toxic gases accumulates and transformed even Muhammad into a Malay?. What an amusing story here , John Doe.
But I don't believe this will be your last article. For I can see your fighting spirit to save Malaysia from the evil one. I have thought of that too after seeing the repeated issues and comments that brings Malaysians any benefits. It has become a ritual to condemn Umno Malays which actually brings no benefits unless the rest of the orang orang Melayu are deUmnoize. They need to be save first before Malaysia can be saved. This is a fact and all must repent and become the true man of God. Being Muslims , Christians , Hindus , Buddhists , Sikhs and .......... cannot save us and Malaysia unless we become men and women of God. That is we have compassion and love for others and the earth.
Regardless of Article 153, UMNO can Malay this, and Malay that, and yet, I find it both amusing and sad that they are claiming the "Superiority" of a clan which is actually fast diminishing.

Before I begin, and this is trained at Pakatan Rakyat - STOP screaming about Tax-Payers' Money. 90% of Malaysians do NOT care! Why? Because only 10% of the Malaysian Population pays Tax. And those who do NOT pay Tax, do NOT care! The majority of Malaysian Government's income comes from Oil Money. And to stop UMNO, you have to stop their source of income. This Oil income is circa 45% of Malaysia's Wealth. Capisce? And why do I bring Oil into the formula? Simple! The Majority of oil comes from Borneo. And in Borneo, there are only 11% Malays in Sabah. And once you deduct the percentage of Melanaus in Sarawak, you are left with about 3% Malays in Sarawak.
Number one:
Melanaus are Melanaus. Malays are Malays. Ibans are Ibans. And you will never hear anyone speak about the Teochew race. Since when is a Chinese Muslim a Malay? And since when is a Kerala-boy a Malay?
Number two:
Konvensyen Dunia Melayu proudly proclaims that the "Malay-World" has a population which includes Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Philippines, Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia, Burma and Vietnam. Sounds dandy. But to the average person, this is confusing. It seems to suggest that all of Thailand, which has a population of circa 60 million is Malay. However, for that to happen, then Konvensyen Dunia Melayu needs to accept that you MUST also accept the definition of a Buddhist Malay in Indochine, Hindu Malay in Bali, and Abangan Malay in Jowo, as well as a Catholic Malay in the Philippines!! Clearly, these countries are as Austronesian (Malay) as the samples found in Malaysia, but they are definitely not Muslim.
Konvensyen Dunia Melayu needs to trim their numbers down by quite a bit then. Let's start with some of the Major-slashings. (You do the math yourself.) Approximately 80% of all Javanese are of the Abangan Religion, and Jowo has a population of about 120 Million. Bali is 93% Hindu, Philippines is 87% Catholic, and less than 2% of Thais are Muslim.
And what about Malaysia then?
According to the latest Census, despite all the body-snatching, conversions of Chinese, and Indians for Business Purposes, conversion of Chinese and Indians for Marriage Purposes, plus the deeply encouraged importation of Indonesian Muslims, Project IC of the Philippino Muslims, Southern Thai Muslims, Bangala Muslims, India's Muslims, Pakistan's Muslims, heck, even Serbia's and Palestinian Muslims and the insistence that "Malays" needing to breed 16.3 children per woman, it is perhaps SHOCKING to reveal that the census of Malaysia in the year 2011 proudly announces that:
"Malays are (now finally) the largest ethnic group in the country, comprising 50.1 per cent of the 27,484,596 total"
Taken from Here: http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/census-population-hits-27.5m-mark/
Wait a minute!?! ONLY 50.1 PERCENT? Yes. It reads correctly. What happened to the 68% Malay-Muslim the Main-Stream-Media had always advertised, and insisted that we believe?? You mean now, and only now there are 50.1% Malays in Malaysia? Was there a drop in Islamic popularity? An 18% drop is a serious concern, by everyone involved. Regardless, let's assume that the 50.1% is not faked in any way ....
What if we deducted all the Chinese Muslims, all the Indian Muslims, and all the "dan lain-lain Muslims", what percentage would we end up with? 30%? Less? (Yea, yea, we all know guys like Abdullah Tee, Mahathir, and his koncho-koncho are called "Malay" because of Article 153.) What if we also deducted all the Malays who have been successfully proselytized? Yea, all those closet Hindu Malays, and Buddhist Malays, Catholic & Christian Malays, Jewish Malays, Hare Krishna Malays, Bahai Malays, Mahakari Malays Zoroastrian Malays and Atheist Malays .... What numbers then would we have? 20%? Less?
What was it ten years ago? What was it 30 years ago, and what was it half a century ago?
Who is a Malay?
A 1974 document issued to the United Nations by the Government of Malaysia, prepared by DOROTHY Z. FERNANDEZ, AMOS H. HAWLEY, SILVIA PREDAZA, defines "Malay" as:
"... Malay: Malay, Indonesian, Negrito, Jakun, Semai, Semdai,Temiar, Other Orang Asli and Other Malay(s)..."
Hold on a second ... A Negrito, Jakun, Semai, Semdai,Temiar, Other Orang Asli are Muslim? What happened to Article 153?
Also, why is every Indonesian on Malaysian soil considered a "Malay"? There is also no mention of the word Bumiputra in that Document at all. Mind you that this was prepared in 1974, and Article 153 was already almost twenty years old!!
What is interesting to note is a particular paragraph which reads like this, and I quote verbatim:
"...There was also an immigration of Malays from the neighboring islands, particularly from Java and Sumatra, to work on the rubber estates. It is not possible to trace their numbers through the early years. Attempts were made to identify "Malays and Other Natives of the Archipelego" in the enumerations of 1891 and 1911, but the ease of assimilation of Malay migrants from Indonesia made the counts very unreliable..."
What then is all this nonsense about "Malays" NOT being "pendatangs" and all?
Read again the above. It clearly and plainly states "immigration of Malays from neighboring Islands, particularly Java and Sumatra..."
If this sentence does not define "Pendatang Malay", then I don't know what does!!! I must remind you that this is indeed a Malaysian Government Official Document, prepared for the United Nations.
What is significant in this document, is that on page 16, it gives a breakdown of the races. Including all the (in their own words) "Pendatangs".
The "Malay" Population in Malaysia totaled 3,125,474, the Chinese 2,333,756, and the Indians 696,186. It is strange that there was no "dan lain-lain" category. As if they did not exist at all. The total population in this table is drafted at 6,278.758. And thus, we can deduce that if we added 3,125,474 (Malay) to 2,333,756(Chinese) and 696,186(Indian), and subtracted this number from the grand total of 6,278.758, we would have the numbers for the "dan lain-lain" category, which amounts to 123,342. However, when one divides 3,125,474 (including Indonesians, Orang Asli's, Sabahans, and Sarawakians etc etc) by the total population of 6,278.758, then you would hit an astonishing figure of 49.778539%.
Hold on a minute now. You mean that despite all those inclusions of "Pendatang Indonesians" and Sabahans, and Sarawakians (they are classified as the "other Malays") and just about everyone else, the total "Malay" population in 1974, in percentage terms was only 49.778539% ? Anyone else can see the number-manipulations which has been going on now right under your noses?
The full document in PDF form can be downloaded here: http://www.cicred.org/Eng/Publications/pdf/c-c34.pdf
(Yes, it was typed with a typewriter. Clickety-clack, smudges and all)
Number Three:
DNA, according to Prof Zilfalil Alwi, defines "Malay" as an admixture of multiple races with 52% coming from Chinese DNA, and the rest, from Indians, amongst others. The long and short of it, a term which most Malaysians endear, "Chindian". Another theory presented by Professor Zilfalil was that early Malays could also be Indian priests who came to the Malay peninsula to spread Hinduism. Sejarah Melayu fortifies this when it recorded that the first Kings of Malaya were indeed of the Keling stock, which I wrote about here, titled "Parameswara is a certified Singaporean Keling - Not a Joke"
You can read the full piece here: http://malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/letterssurat/43394-parameswara-is-a-certified-singaporean-keling-not-a-joke
You can read about the Malay DNA piece here: http://www.asiaone.com/print/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Malaysia/Story/A1Story20111026-307064.html
On Dec 23rd 2011, on USM's own website, they presented this again
Read it yourself from the horse's own mouth here: http://www.usm.my/index.php/about-usm/news-archive/66-news-highlight/5956-DNA-MAPPING-PROVE-ASIANS-HAVE-SAME-GENETIC-ANCESTRY-.html
I will call your attention however, to one of Prof Zilfalil Alwi's own statements, and that is "...From his presentation, the 'Indianisation' of the Malay peninsula was described in early Chinese accounts, where there was a Hindu kingdom...", and the only thing which I want to stress, is that they are called "Chinese Records" because the Chinese were already in Geographical Malaya. And being a Hindu certainly does NOT make one an Indian!! Race and Religion do NOT correlate. Country borders and religion does have a correlation though, and that is something else to think about.
Number Four:
Why is it that once a Chinese or an Indian converts to Islam, they have to change their name(s) to an Arabic one, and inadvertently put Abdullah as your father's name?
Perhaps Malay Muslims have never heard or come across Hui Liangyu (China vice premier) and Sania Mirza (tennis player). Their names never resembled anything Arabic but they are well-known Muslims. This includes Yvonne Redley (a reporter once detained by Taliban), Nicolas Anelka and Frank Ribery (both footballers) are still proud to be called by their original name despite their conversion to Islam. It is important to note that none carry the "bin Abdullah" suffix.
Many become Muslims when they want to marry a Muslim while others convert to Islam as a means of tapping in to the social and economic benefits that Muslims enjoy. This is certainly an excellent way to promote one's religion.
Number Five:
The Baju Melayu is NOT Muslim clothing. Neither is the Songkok. I guarantee you that neither the Prophet Muhammad, nor any of his 10,000 Soldiers wore the Baju Melayu. Unless of course, someone from UMNO tells you that Prophet Muhammad was a Malay!! The Songkok clearly comes from the Bataks of Medan, who in turn were either inspired or (more likely) copied it from Nehru in India. The Kopiah, on the other hand, is as Jewish as it is Islamic. (Google "Religious Skullcap" yourself.) The Jewish word for it is "kippah". For those who do not know, the French government banned the wearing of kippot, hijabs and large crosses in public primary and secondary schools in France in March 2004. Contrary to what you were told, the French were NOT only banning the Hijab. In fact, one could proudly wear the baju Melayu in France and no one gives a hoot, because it is NOT Muslim clothing, and is not recognised as so.
Number Six:
The 20-point agreement and the (now erased) 18-point agreement between the Federation and Borneo can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20-point_agreement
How many of these have been violated? Anyone been to Kuching would note that the street-signs are all in English (most of them anyway.).
I want to point your attention to
Point 12: Special position of indigenous races
"In principle the indigenous races of North Borneo should enjoy special rights analogous to those enjoyed by Malays in Malaya, "
This in essence means that there is absolutely no need for conversion to any religion other than their own to enjoy the same details of Article 153. Failure to comply with this probably allows for both Sabah and Sarawak to "un-join" themselves like what happened to Singapore.
Although, this remains the prerogative of the future "Republic of Borneo" citizens to decide. That is the true trademark of Democracy. Decision by the people, and not decision by the Dictators, and this is perhaps the best explanation of what is happening around the world. Regime after Regime is collapsing one by one. Perhaps the UN would welcome the "Republic of Borneo" as its 197th country after Sudan (North and South?) Borneo certainly has the resources to do so, and if they exercised "skill procurement" like Singapore, they can continue to "brain-drain" the peninsular of her top Academics, and trained professionals. The Oil wells will certainly carry her through the year 2030, especially with Rigs like "Kiki" being one of the top producers beating the combined wealth of all of Miri's oil rigs (but that's another story).
I'm also pretty sure that Pakatan Rakyat would assist you in gaining this independence, as their assurances of fairness to all, based on their Championing of Human RIghts, Voice-of-the-People Battle-Cry and so on would be happy to grant you this, if you collaborated with them before the coming 13th General Elections. After all, it's a win-win situation. Pakatan gets to defeat UMNO, and the "Republic of Borneo" is born. What a fantastic photo-finish!! No longer will Penans have to be raped, no longer will Taib be robbing Sarawak, and Bruno Manser's body may finally be found after all these years. For West Malaysians, it makes no difference to you at all. Most of you have never been there anyway, and even if you did today, you still need to show either your Passport (before) or show your MyKad (aka IC).
So, in addressing Abraham-son-of-Ali's statement about Article 153 and the church, and it's relevance to May 13th, what is the relationship? Are you telling everyone that Perkasa would launch another May 13th if "dan lain-lains" start to debate Article 153?
As shown above, the Borneo people have been denied their Bornean Article 12 Rights. Are you defending the Bornean Article 12 as well? Was Article 153 written by Prophet Muhammad? Is Article 153 called a Hadith? The Koran? Is this man-made document so "Holy" that it cannot be changed?
I know for a fact the Malaysian Constipation has already been changed almost 600 times since 1957. With the "most significant change" pertaining to the de-clawing of the Sultans. Proselytizing of Muslims? You want evidence? Sure, I'll give you evidence. Just read here:
(A kid with internet access would have found these easily): http://www.strategicnetwork.org/index.php?loc=kb&view=v&id=2557&fto=633&
and here: http://www.partnersintl.org/partners/se/mymw
Go ahead. The evidence is clear. Arrest them! Hang them, stone them, or decapitate them. Show the world that Malaysia is indeed NOT the moderate Muslim country which she pretends to be!! And all because of a few over-zealous individuals who pretend to be "Holier-than-Thou" whilst digging their hands into the wealth of the country, and robbing it blind!
What happened to Article 11 of the Federal Constipation? Did Abraham-son-of-Ali erase it? Did he also erase Sarawak's 18-point agreement? It's certainly contained within the same Constipation which he screams and rants about (while saying three times on Al Jazeera as well). So where does that leave us?
The truth of the matter is, the "Malay World" is actually very small. Regardless of Article 153, UMNO can Malay this, and Malay that, and yet, I find it both amusing and sad that they are claiming the "Superiority" of a clan which is actually fast diminishing. Javanese are now called Melayu, Bugis are now called Melayu, Acehnese are now called Melayu, Minangs are called Melayu and even Southern Thais, and Southern Philippinos are called Melayu. What exactly is so important about being a Melayu which warrants the attack on the Nons?
Prophet Muhammad was certainly NOT a Malay, and hence, the "Ketuanan Melayu" is pure bollocks. Who are you trying to impress? Article 153 is man-made, man-written, and man-changeable. Who knows if we continue to let UMNO Dictate the future of Malaysia, one day, UMNO might declare that Allah is a Malay??

Someone mentioned somewhere about the Demak kingdom in Java. The founder was a Chinese, albeit of Muslim faith. He was instrumental in the Islamisation of Java.Both he and his son remain Indonesia's national heroes. But few Indonesians actually know this fact. Please read "The Early Kingdoms of the Indonesian Archipelago and Maly Peninsula" written by a French historian, whose name I cannot remember off-hand. (You can get it from Amazon.com.)
Many Cambodians are actually of the "Malay" stock, but they are predominantly Buddhist today. How ironical! Let's don't get too worked up over race arguments. Cantonese are 70% Han and 30% "Bai", but does this make them less Chinese? Only Chen Shui-bien thinks he is not a Chinese. Ditto Ridzuan Tee Abdullah. (He doesn't deserve the "Dr" honorific; in a more rigorous academic environment, his at best would be a third class honours material!!!) ..

The oldest mosque found in China was built about 1200 years ago while the oldest mosque found in Malay Polynesia was built 500 years ago (The one found in Demak Indonesia)
So.. That means that 1200 years ago, the Chinese people were the blessed people (for believing & accepting Allah and His revelations) while The Malay Tribes at that time were still in the middle of nowhere… perhaps they were "still “belum pakai baju dan sunat”.
Heheheh... Melayu jangan marah tau....! ..

Ha Ha ! Oh Yes , its the Malaysian Constipation alright. That is what happens when one suffers from chronic constipation. The toxic gases accumulates and transformed even Muhammad into a Malay?. What an amusing story here , John Doe.
But I don't believe this will be your last article. For I can see your fighting spirit to save Malaysia from the evil one. I have thought of that too after seeing the repeated issues and comments that brings Malaysians any benefits. It has become a ritual to condemn Umno Malays which actually brings no benefits unless the rest of the orang orang Melayu are deUmnoize. They need to be save first before Malaysia can be saved. This is a fact and all must repent and become the true man of God. Being Muslims , Christians , Hindus , Buddhists , Sikhs and .......... cannot save us and Malaysia unless we become men and women of God. That is we have compassion and love for others and the earth.

Funny how the Malay race and Muslims in Malaysia seems to be talking about survival, never about their racial and religious progression or development.........
A comfortable victory could lead to the formation of a strong government, and hence, making it possible for any policy to defend Islam and the Malays, as well as the poor in rural areas, be implemented.
(Bernama) - Umno must not only ensure victory at the next general election, but must also ensure comfortable victory in order to preserve the sovereignty of Islam and the survival of the Malays in the country, said Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.
He said a comfortable victory could lead to the formation of a strong government, and hence, making it possible for any policy to defend Islam and the Malays, as well as the poor in rural areas, be implemented.
The BN government will have problems to draft and approve new laws if it fails to maintain the two-third majority in the next general election, he said when winding up the debate at Umno General Assembly 2011 here today.
He also expressed confidence that BN was capable to win the next general election as it had been the most credible and trusted government with proven track record and was willing to carry out transformation for the wellbeing of the people.
The government has also proved its ability to face the economic crises in 1997 without taking any loan from the International Monetary Fund, he said.
He said while the United States and European countries were facing global economic downturn, Malaysia, under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's leadership, had managed to record a Gross Domestic Product growth of 5.8 per cent in the third quarter this year.
Mohd Shafie, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said Mara, an agency under the ministry, would also strive to increase the participation of young people in entrepreneurship, besides continue sponsoring excellent students to pursue their education abroad.
He also refuted the allegation that the prime minister was not fighting for the Malays, saying that Najib had approved an allocation of RM800 million for Mara students overseas, despite the initial application of RM500 million allocation made by Mara.

What’s the difference between Malays and Donkeys?
There was a scientist who wanted to show the world that these beasts of burden were actually intelligent.
The day of the test he got the people together. One of the visitors suggested that it would be better to start with easy simple additions. So the scientist asked the donkeys:
- "What is the result of one and one?”
The donkeys smiled and one of them turned towards his neighbor and whispered:
-“Well, we know the result is two, but tell them it is 13 so that they know we are donkeys".
Unity comes naturally when there is a common shared perception. Indians do not have a common perception. Chinese do not have a common perception. And Malays do not have a common perception. Therefore unity is unnatural........ Calling people to unite is sheer stupidity..!!!!
Unless the Malays unite they are going to be reduced to a minority, said the one-time Prime Minister of Malaysia. The Indians are united into seven political parties. The Chinese are united into six political parties. But the Malays are divided into three political parties. And this is not good for the future of the Malays.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
1. We should not allow political freedom for students. Political freedom will threaten peace and unity, said the VC of UiTM. The most peaceful countries in the world are those that do not allow political freedom.
In fact, the most peaceful countries in the world are those that do not allow any freedom at all. Women cannot drive or leave the home unescorted. There are no general elections. Just one family runs the country and fills all the government posts. All the country’s wealth goes into the pockets of just one family and no one can question how they manage the country’s finances. These are the most peaceful countries in the world.
2. We should not allow gays in Malaysia. As the Mufti said, gays will eventually result in the entire population of the world getting wiped out. As it is, the world’s population has already been reduced to 7 billion and this may reduce even further if gays are allowed the freedom to practice their gay activities.
Unfortunately, Hitler did not succeed in wiping out all the gays as he had intended. If not, we would not be facing this problem of gays demanding rights and freedom and so on.
In fact, Jews are also dangerous, just like gays. The Jews were the ones who invented democracy. And those who support democracy are supporting gay rights. We must remember that the Jews also killed Jesus. So that makes them doubly dangerous.
3. Malaysians who live overseas should not be allowed to vote, said MCA. This is because when they live overseas they do not get to watch TV3 or RTM or NTV7 every night. So they do not know what is happening in Malaysia. Only those who watch TV3 or RTM or NTV7 every night will know what is happening in Malaysia.
If these Malaysians who live overseas and who do not watch TV3 or RTM or NTV7 every night are allowed to vote, they may vote for the wrong party. It is crucial, therefore, that only those who know who to vote for should be allowed to vote. If they do not know who to vote for they should not be allowed to vote.
4. Unless the Malays unite they are going to be reduced to a minority, said the one-time Prime Minister of Malaysia. The Indians are united into seven political parties. The Chinese are united into six political parties. But the Malays are divided into three political parties. And this is not good for the future of the Malays.
The Malays should be united into just one political party just like the Indians and Chinese who are united into seven and six political parties respectively. Only if the Malays are united into one political party will they have the political power and strength to discriminate, persecute and bully the other races and treat them as second-class citizens.

Malays will decide the future of Malaysia - bankruptcy before 2019 or Pakatan Rakyat takes over the federal govt in the next GE.

Motherchell, the can land has always been a perfect place of abuse for the perversion of power elites that spawned such great scum (alas wearing 'rounded hat' so-called deserving to them) spewing rubbish and it obviously says the product speaks for itself of the whole failed state of country affairs from what we have already a less than less desirable education system, quality personalities in this sector and facing an uphill battle 'injecting' the amount of right and resourceful education to the young, deprived, disillusioned and in particular, the just-believe-i-deserve type.
Yes we will say No to this colony of termites of our society even we are constantly being bitten to the last one standing while we continue to 'inject our rightful thoughts and infect with our rightful actions' for where and to those that perpetrate injustices must come to an end. The RPK syndrome is to fight injustice and hail justice for all and the beacon of hope is when the 'new' will wake up, walk and rise up together to shake and break this mind shackle from the handful deceitful political corrupted defacto 'rulers' of Putarjaya!
I have great respect for the round hat worn by farmers who toil with honesty. And the young will rise up from their state of complacency of mind shackle, a Malaysian ABnormality. ...

Typical, Renegade PK trying to mislead the stupid rakyats.
1. RPK said that there is a "Philosophy as taught by Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM)". 1Moi must strongly protest that it is surprising that UiTm teaches anything much less philosophy. They are not supposed to teach, they are there to implement UMNO dictat. RPK is lying to imply that UiTM "teaches" something as haram as "philosophy". But just to humour this renegade let me elucidate to the more stupid of the rakyats by answering his accusations point by point:
"1. We should not allow political freedom for students." This is at best half truths. In fact UMNO would prefer not to allow anyone any freedom at all. RPK lied.
"2. We should not allow gays in Malaysia." Lies. We allow gays like Saiful in Malaysia and encourage them to be bisexuals. We do allow gays in Malaysian jails. Another lie by RPK
"3. Malaysians who live overseas should not be allowed to vote, said MCA." Lies, since when have we paid any attention to what the Melayu Cikens Ayam's fowl language? Further, most of the votes will be miscounted or discounted anyway, we are trying to save some money by not having to pay for these traitors who live overseas.
"4. Unless the Malays unite they are going to be reduced to a minority, said the one-time Prime Minister of Malaysia." Trying to mislead again. This so called one-time Prime Minister have been voted in many times by UMNO. Further, Malays are split into 3 parties, that's 2 party more than desired. By bringing other parties into the discussion RPK is trying to confuse the stupid rakyats. We are not talking about unity of other pendatang infidels, we are after all talking about the unity of master race. Anything less that 99% support is considered by your 1Fuhrer as a minority.

my dear Panca,
I share your thoughts in this moment of literary "despair"!
Ive wondered what the future holds for the youth in Malaysia. There seems to be an absolute devastation to the minds of the young with knucklehead leaders of the 4th kind in the wrong places. As much as the coffers are plundered --so too is the intelligence to know what is true or farcical--- just to rule with an iron hand so that the ruling elites can enjoy the fruits till eternity. The flock--- who dream to see the light of the day are dimmed and bleak forever unless we make that change soon.
When the world has gone to great heights with the power of "thought"----human beings have looked to stars and to dreams; to animal entrails, mathematical models, and why galaxies are elongated as structure would never have formed in the universe.---- We have idiots in our bolehland society questioning our intelligence?? Should we allow them to survive?? The answer is "No"!!
---one example of a product of the system was seen on TV sometime back--- when a Malaysian was stuck in the riots in England and how the Malaysian Ambassador took him to face the cameras. The way that youth spoke and gestured was far from the class of grammar and vocab for an University educated brain.-and as the despots made political capital with their TV 3 broadcast. I wondered if the young chap could count -- let alone study accountancy. He was not aware that he was going to be the other pea in the pot of the unemployable unemployed.
With educators of the kind here with shining nova titles--- the destination is blurred and in shambles.
Educators as Tunku Aziz,, the former Transparency Int rep in Malaysia are forced into oblivion and silence by UMNO's autocratic agenda . What a wasted space for excellence. Its so very sad!!
To my dear Nanakassim,---- get your point, True! but I would never want to group and insult a cute mule or donkey as unintelligent. It was man who wrote a million fables as he needed a protagonist like a designation. The same way we get a plumber to repair pipes ---- so we use these cute " 4 legged professionals" to invigilate the scums as Latok and Loktors in the Ruling trash bins.
There is a story behind this dear,
There was a scientist who wanted to show the world that these beasts of burden were actually intelligent.
The day of the test he got the people together. One of the visitors suggested that it would be better to start with easy simple additions. So the scientist asked the donkeys:
- "What is the result of one and one?”
The donkeys smiled and one of them turned towards his neighbor and whispered:
-“Well, we know the result is two, but tell them it is 13 so that they know we are donkeys".
So ive placed Loktor Sahul as a single celled deformed retarded muttonhead scum!
Much regards and cheers to you both!! ...

Often we hear people calling for their community to be united. This is a mindless thing to do. These are mindless people. People most naturally gravitate towards any grouping that represents their interests. This is a logical thing to do. Calling people to unite is sheer stupidity.
Unity comes naturally when there is a common perception. Indians do not have a common perception. Chinese do not have a common perception. And Malays do not have a common perception. Therefore unity is unnatural.
Managing varied opinions and interests is what is best, and BN is a master of this, and that is why they have ruled so far. Pakatan has proven itself horribly incapable of managing and honouring various interests, and that is why they will not win GE 13.

The whole truth nothing but the truth and very well said RPK. You have the power to change the world.
The other day I had to attend a function and an UMNO assemblyman was guest of honour. And so it was his turn to give a speech. Dreading it, I forced myself to pay attention. And so he went on and on about the importance of acquiring knowledge....blah ...blah ...blah knowledge is power.....and then suddenly he talked about Sexuality Merdeka. Boy did he get my attention on that. He said that it is rather sad that sometimes knowledgeable people are not really that smart either coz they support free sex. He was refering to the supposedly learned people behind sexuality merdeka. The poor guy was saddened by the involvement of educated ppl in this cause. I think the term sexuality merdeka ought to be changed so something more suitable and appropriate. This is Malaysialah and the minute people like him (and there are loads of them ) see such a term, they think it is all about encouraging freeeee sex and so this is Unlslamic!! Maybe the organizers should come up with a better name/term .... something a little bit softer and spiritual and caring which would not allow this group of ppl to attack. "Insan ciptaan tuhan yang terpinggir". With a name like"Seksualiti Merdeka" this UMNO dumbos will manipulate the word sex and merdeka and he did manage to get the whole crowd to agree with him and they seem to be on his side. ...

Undergraduates told to become creator of transformation
Daniel John Jambun
I must say I am very irritated by a little-noticed news story published in your esteemed paper last October 27, titled “Undergraduates told to become creator of transformation.” It was as a report of a speech by the Prime Minister delivered by Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein at the closing of the Prime Minister’s Trophy Debate between students of institutions of higher learning at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) in Kuala Lumpur on October 22.
In that speech the PM outlined five major aspects to be played by undergraduates in the country’s development, including becoming creators of transformation “instead of spreading controversies.” He said “undergraduates must become solvers instead of causing disasters besides becoming lovers of knowledge instead of becoming dream merchants.” At this point my patience ran out.
How is it possible for young people not to create controversies in the pursuit of change, in the effort to transform the Malaysian society? What if the social or political situation is so bad that they have to voice their opposition to what are being practiced? How are they going to transform society if they are just puppets trying to follow and join what is going on, for better or for worse?
And what does the PM mean by causing disasters, becoming lovers of knowledge instead of becoming dream merchants?
These are all conflicting concepts! We must all be dream merchants, selling our dreams to transform the Malaysian society into becoming a great example for other countries.
How can we be lovers of knowledge and then don’t apply them and just support the government even if it is doing a lot of things wrong? Is that causing disasters? No! That is changing a bad system, and that is the very purpose of the democratic system under a constitutional monarchy that we enjoy in Malaysia . Najib himself had said that the age when the government is supposed to know everything is over. Very often, the new generation knows what they want for their country’s future, and they want to dismantle old and outdated systems that are making our administration obsolete.
Najib also said that the young people shouldn’t “become merely vendors of empty stories just to gain sympathy in continuing the personal agendas of certain groups” and then admitted that “We all know the voice and ideas of the young generation today, particularly the undergraduates, must be taken as the best capital which will drive the country’s development.” What he seems to be saying is that students shouldn’t try to be politicians but they are the ones with the best ideas to drive the country forward. That’s another contradiction in terms.
As I see it, the ideas of the younger generation cannot be stopped or controlled by the current crop of government leaders. It’s way too late for that. The young people know what they want for their country, for their children and grandchildren and they have been too much exposed and educated through observations of developments in other countries to be so easily influenced by sweet talks from their leaders.
Najib said in the same speech, “At the very least, they can act as an effective reciprocal instrument for all the government policies and plans” which to me meant that he expect all undergraduates should reciprocate (react positively to show gratitude). This means they shouldn’t oppose or criticize. But, again, what if the policies and plans are wrong and against the interests of undergraduates like the provision in the Universities and University Colleges Act which prohibits students form becoming involved in politics?
The best way is to have the dialogues open from both sides, with the government being receptive to criticism and not just expecting support for everything it does. If the government cannot tolerate criticism from the younger generation, the country’s forward move will be stalled, and the opposition will have even more reasons to want to change the government.

“ What is the equivalent of one RM10 million luxury condominium to number of units of low-cost apartment for the rakyat............?????” “You’re supposed to buy cows, but you bought a RM10 mllion condo...!!!" ...LEMBU PUNYA SUSU, SOMEBODY DAPAT CONDO....A new Malay proverb...!! It's cool.......
By Teoh El Sen, FMT
SHAH ALAM: A report has been filed with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the RM10 million luxury condominium allegedly purchased with money from the National Feedlot Centre (NFC), run by a minister’s family.
The report was lodged with MACC’s Selangor office here by PKR-linked NGO, Jingga 13.
“Jingga 13 urges MACC to immediately investigate this serious finding and the attorney-general to charge and bring those involved in betraying the trust of the rakyat to justice,” said its chief coordinator Fariz Musa.
Fariz alleged that PKR has solid evidence to show that the family of Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, who allegedly holds the majority of shares in NFC, is linked to the buying of the said condominium (One Menerung) in Bangsar.
“On Dec 2, 2009, NFC made four money transfers from its current account at CIMB Bank, Taman Tun Dr Ismail to Bandar Raya Developments Bhd as a full payment to purchase the One Menerung condominium,” he said.
Fariz said the four transfers were: RM699,870, RM694,150, RM4,199,220, RM4,164,900; and the total amounted to RM9,758,140.
‘We have to protect our source’
Asked if Jingga 13 brought with it supporting documents for MACC, Fariz said that Jingga 13 has to protect its source, who he claimed is reliable.
He also said that Jingga 13 has no details of how many units were purchased but revealed that the units in One Menerung ranged from RM3 million to over RM10.3 million, depending on the unit sizes.
“This payment of almost RM9.8 million was recorded as “hutang” (debt) from National Meat and Livestocks Corporation Sdn Bhd (NMLC), which is also owned by Shahrizat’s family, to NFC,” he added.
He alleged that this sum of almost RM9.8 million was part of the RM83 million owed by NMLC to NFC as of Dec 31, 2009. He also alleged that the sum was part of the RM250 million soft loan given by the government to NFC.
“This payment for a luxury condominium on behalf of another company that is fully owned by Shahrizat’s family is a form of misappropriation of the rakyat’s money which was given as a loan to NFC. This is a form of criminal breach of trust,” he said.
“You’re supposed to buy cows, but you bought a condo. There is no basis, whatsoever, for NFC to purchase a condominium and it is clearly a gross misuse of power,” said Fariz, adding that Jingga 13 visited the condominium but could not obtain further information as they were chased out by security.
Fariz said the latest information also disproves the statements by Umno leaders on the NFC issue, and those who manipulated and distorted facts must be brought to book.

Nicol in Hall of Fame
By AFTAR SINGH
ROTTERDAM: Nicol David will receive the ultimate recognition when she is inducted into the World Squash Federation (WSF) Hall of Fame here tomorrow.
The 28-year-old from Penang, who is going for a record sixth crown at the World Open this week, will be inducted by Tunku Imran Tuanku Jaafar (pic), the WSF Patron and IOC member who is himself a former national squash champion.
Nicol rules supreme in the women’s game and has already achieved legendary status. After becoming the first ever double winner of the biennial world junior title in 2001, she went on to begin an unbroken reign at the top of the world rankings from August, 2006. She is now the second longest-standing world number one of all-time behind Australia’s Susan Devoy, who reigned for 105 months.
Nicol already has 55 Women’s International Squash Players Association (Wispa) titles and equalled the five world titles won by her mentor Sarah Fitz-Gerald.
She has almost single-handedly put Malaysia on the world squash map through her achievements and, earlier this year, won a record eighth national sportswoman of the year award.
Legendary status: Nicol David is now the second longest-standing world No. 1 of all time behind Australia’s Susan Devoy.
Nicol captured the first of her three Asian Games gold medals in 1998, aged just 15, and, in April this year, claimed her eighth successive Asian Championship in Penang.
“It’s great to be recognised in this way while I am still a player and have my achievements compared with the best players the game has seen,” said Nicol. “It’s truly fantastic and I am really honoured.
“But this does not mean I am ready to ride off into the sunset. I am far from finished even though I have been playing the professional circuit for over 10 years.”
Nicol intends to prove just that by bagging her sixth world crown on Sunday.

Duncalf stands in Nicol’s path towards greatness
By AFTAR SINGH
ROTTERDAM: Nicol David is now just match away of winning her record sixth world title.
The Penangite defeated Dutch veteran Natalie Grinham 11-9, 11-4, 11-6 to seal a place in the final of the World Squash Championships at the Luxor Theatre here yesterday.
The partisan crowd cheered for the Australian-born Natalie, who is married to Dutchman Tommy Berden, the tournament director.
But that did not stop the Amsterdam-based Nicol from working her magic and winning the match in straight sets.
Final hurdle: England’s Jenny Duncalf takes on Malaysia’s Nicol David in the World Squash Championships final today.
The 28-year-old Nicol, who is in top form and has yet to drop a set in four matches, will face world No. 2 Jenny Duncalf for a place in the final.
Nicol started off well to take a 6-3 lead in the first set. But a lapse in concentration allowed Natalie to catch up and go 9-7 up.
The world No. 1 seems to thrive on pressure and she conjured up some excellent shots to collect four straight points for the opening set win.
The Malaysian took the second set easily. Not only did Natalie make unforced errors, she also hit her shots into the tin five times.
Four-time finalist Natalie gave it a real go in the third set but Nicol was just a class above.
Nicol said it felt great to have beaten Natalie in straight sets.
“It was a close first set ... Natalie played really well. It was important for me to win the first set and I had to bring out my best,” said Nicol, who now hopes to create history by winning her sixth world title.
“I hope to go one better than my mentor Sarah (Fitz-Gerald), who is the five-time world champion.
“But I can expect a strong challenge from Jenny, who will be going all to beat me for her first world title.”
Duncalf too had no problems ousting world No. 17 Samantha Teran of Mexico 11-9, 11-4, 11-7 in an earlier semi-final.
For the record, Nicol has met Duncalf 21 times – with the Malaysian winning 19 of those matches.
Their last meeting saw Nicol winning in straight sets in the final of Australian Open in August.
This will be the first time Nicol will be meeting Duncalf in the final of the world meet.
Duncalf was pleased as punch to have reached the final of the world meet for the first time.
“I am looking forward to giving my best in the final. I had a good match against Samantha and I believe I can play much better in the final,” said Duncalf.
Teran, who stunned 2007 world champion and world No. 5 Rachael Grinham of Australia in the second round, was also happy with her overall performance.
“I am the first Mexican player to have reached the semi-finals. I gave my best against Jenny but she was just too good,” said Teran, who is also based in Amsterdam.

Nicol claims her record sixth world title in emphatic style
By AFTAR SINGH
ROTTERDAM: Nicol David created history by winning her sixth world title in emphatic fashion at the Luxor Theatre here yesterday with the promise of more to come.
The undisputed queen of world squash was in devastating form as she pulverised long-time rival and world No. 2 Jenny Duncalf of England 11-2, 11-5, 11-0 in just 29 minutes in the final of the World Open.
It was a perfect six for Nicol – six wins from six finals at the world meet, making her the most successful woman player in the history of the game.

She had earlier shared the honour, five titles apiece, with her mentor Sarah FitzGerald of Australia.
The triumph is the latest narrative in the storied life of Malaysia’s greatest sports star. The 28-year-old Nicol, who turned pro in 2000, won her other world titles in Hong Kong (2005), Belfast, Northern Ireland (2006), Manchester (2008), Amsterdam (2009) and Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, last year.
The world crown yesterday was also Nicol’s 56th Wispa title and ninth of the year.
It was her 27th win over Duncalf in 29 meetings. Nicol received US$21,188 while Duncalf pocketed US$13,656.
Nicol, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday for her outstanding accomplishments, got off to a flying start in the first set winning 11-2 in just nine minutes.
Nicol David celebrates with her trophy after winning the final squash match against England's Jenny Duncalf during the World Open, at the Luxor Theater in Rotterdam on Sunday.
Duncalf, featuring in her first final, was out of sorts and completely outplayed in every aspect of the game.
In the second set, Nicol playing in her 10th world meet, took a comfortable 8-3 lead before dropping just two points to seal victory.
A deflated Duncalf just melted under Nicol’s relentless attack and meekly surrendered the third 11-0.
An elated Nicol said she didn’t quite know how to describe her joy in winning her record sixth world title.
“Winning the crown is a huge thing for Malaysia as we don’t have many world champions in sports,” said Nicol, whose parents Desmond and Mary Ann were in Rotterdam to watch their daughter make history.
“I’m really happy to repay my fellow Malaysians for all their support by winning the world title for them.
“My only wish now is to play in the Olympics. I would happily trade my six world titles for the sport to be included in the Olympic Games,” said Nicol, adding that she wasn’t done winning titles yet - not by a long shot.
A disheartened Duncalf said that she had been totally outclassed by Nicol.
“I was hoping to win the final as an early birthday present but it was not to be,” said Duncalf, who turns 29 on Thursday.
In the men’s competition, world No. 1 Nick Matthew of England retained the world title after coming back from a set down to beat sixth seed Gregory Gaultier of France 6-11, 11-9, 11-6, 11-5 in the final.
Matthew received US$26,220 for his efforts while Gaultier took home US$16,388.

Nicol wins record sixth world crown
ROTTERDAM: World No. 1 Nicol David created history by outplaying long-time rival and world No. 2 Jenny Duncalf of England to become the first woman player to win a record six world championship squash titles at the Luxor Theatre here on Sunday.
Nicol played superbly to win 11-2, 11-5, 11-0 in just 29 minutes.
It was her sixth appearance in the final of the world championships and she has won all now.
The Malaysian is the first Women’s International Squash Players Association (Wispa) player to win six world titles, since the inception of the tournament in 1976.
The 28-year-old Nicol, who turned pro in 2000, won her other world titles in Hong Kong (2005), Belfast (2006), Manchester (2008), Amsterdam (2009) and Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt last year.

Zulfadli must emulate Nicol’s way to success
IT was a proud moment for the country when Zulfadli Zulkifli was crowned junior world badminton champion in Taipei on Sunday.
He is the first Malaysian to win that singular honour but, more than a record breaking feat, his exploit has opened up a new facet in Malaysian badminton – that an independent player can survive and make it to the top.
Unlike the others, Zulfadli is neither a product of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) centralised training programme nor the Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS), proving that one does not have to be part of the system to be successful in sport. He is not even on National Sports Council (NSC) payroll.
Zulfadli has many individual sponsors to thank for his meterioc rise. He trained with the Selangor Badminton Association (SBA) before switching to Kuala Lumpur BA in his younger days,
He then join professional club KLRC in 2007 and that is where his game really took off. He was given plenty of international exposure and a platform to soar for which he will always be grateful.
This, his breakthrough year, saw him bag the Asian junior title in Lucknow, India, before his crowning glory at the world meet in Taipei. It showed, above all else, that a club player can co-exist with the national body and win honours for the country.
This partnership, or healthy rivalry if you would have it, should be left alone to thrive in the present eco-system of the sport for several reasons.
Not only will it keep the BAM on their toes but it will discourage them from getting too autocratic or complacent. It will certainly make them re-evaluate their singles coaching programme as they will not want to be overshadowed by the clubs. This will work to the benefit of the game.
Zulfadli’s victory also proves that an independent player can share the burden, mission and vision of the BA of Malaysia. More clubs should be inspired by his win as it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the national association can, and must, co-exist with the clubs to nurture and produce champions.
China, Denmark and South Korea have a prolific production line of talent because of their dynamic club system which complements the efforts of the national associations.
In a way, the 18-year-old Zulfadli has revolutionised Malaysian badminton - opening up new boundaries and possibilities in the sport.
The challenge now is not allowing anything to distract him as he takes his game to the highest level.
He must stay grounded and not let success go to his head. This is not the right time to shower him with showy rewards or turn his head. Zulfadli deserves praise for his achievements but let us not overdo it and spoil him. We have seen what that does to our sportsmen.
Zulfadli has his father, who is also his coach, to guide him away from the pitfalls of success. But success is a fickle and cruel mistress, who will seduce you with false promises - coddle you one minute and spurn you the next.
The sponsors will be lining up to cash in on his moment of fame, but Zulfadli must learn to recognise the imposters from the genuine article.
He has the perfect role model to look up to. On the same day that Zulfadli lived his dream, Malaysia’s squash darling Nicol David gave an astounding show of power to win her sixth world title - underlining her reign as the most successful player in her sport.
The former world junior champion has not allowed the trappings of success to spoil her. She has remained committed and grounded, that is why she is still on top of her game and the world after 11 years as a professional.
At 28, and having won everything there is to win in squash, Nicol remains hungry for more glory. That is the hallmark of a true, and enduring, champion.
Zulfadli must emulate Nicol if he is to be a world beater and not fall by the wayside like so many others before him who excelled at junior level only to fail when it mattered.
Maybe then he can achieve what Nicol never will - an Olympic gold medal, perhaps at the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016.

‘Queen’ Nicol deserves every support from Govt
IT made me proud of Malaysia when I read of the achievements of Zulfadli Zulkifli and Nelson Heg Wei Keat-Teo Ee Yi (world junior singles and boys’ doubles champions in badminton) and Datuk Nicol David (her sixth world squash title). Syabas to all of them!
However, I wish to express my disappointment with our Government’s response to all the achievements of Datuk Nicol David. Based on her outstanding track record I would consider her the best and most accomplished Malaysian sportsperson ever!
I believe it is time that the Government, in recognition of her achievements and in the true spirit of 1Malaysia, reward her appropriately. She should be provided every support by our Government to continue with her winning ways!
She has brought our country such fame and recognition in squash.
Congratulations again to Datuk Nicol David. Do us proud with many more world titles.
Dr ABED ONN,
Subang Jaya.

World champion Nicol vows to keep on breaking records

World champion Nicol vows to keep on breaking records
By AFTAR SINGH
ROTTERDAM: The past few days have been a dream for Nicol David and she has had more than her share of priceless moments.
First, the squash legend from Penang, who has been based in Amsterdam since 2003, was inducted into her sport’s Hall of Fame on Saturday for her amazing accomplishments.
A day later, the long reigning world No. 1 created history by winning a record sixth world title - the first woman to do so in the 35-year history of the championships.
Moving forward: With the world title under her belt, Nicol David will now go for a record sixth Hong Kong Open title this month.
Nicol has won all the major tournaments her sport has to offer and no other Malaysian athlete comes close to matching her achievements – 56 titles and still counting.
What was really amazing is the way she played in the final, pummelling world No. 2 Jenny Duncalf of England into submission in straight sets - 11-2, 11-5, 11-0 - in just 29 minutes. Such was her domination that Duncalf simply surrendered.
The 28-year-old Nicol, who has been the world No. 1 since August 2006, said that the win over Duncalf was the pinnacle of her professional career which began in 2000.
“It was my best performance to date. I didn’t want anyone else, but me, to put their hands on the trophy,” she said.
“Winning was great and the record means the world to me,” said Nicol, who surpassed the previous milestone of five titles she jointly held with her mentor, Australian Sarah FitzGerald.
But far from being satisfied, Nicol is hungry for even more success and plans to play on for another five to seven years. That is bad news for her rivals.
“I hope to stay injury-free and win many more tournaments. Per¬haps even a few more world titles so that nobody can overhaul my record,” she said with a glint in her eye.
Nicol’s 56 Wispa titles put her level with former world champion Michelle Martin of Australia. She now wants to beat FitzGerald’s record of 62 to seal her reputation as the best player in the history of the game.
That should be a breeze if Nicol keeps playing like she did in Rotter¬dam. And given her insatiable appetite for records, it will be some time yet before the final chapter of the Nicol David legend is written.
“Winning always feels good. But the pressure is mounting as there are several young players beginning to make their mark. The Egyptian girls have plenty of potential and are a real threat,” said Nicol.
“I have to work two to three times harder to stay on top. I will continue training in Amsterdam under coach Liz Irving as it has been a highly successful arrangement.
Nicol’s only regret is that she will not be able to add an Olympic gold medal to her impressive collection of trophies.
“It’s a pity that the IOC (Inter¬na¬tion¬al Olympic Committee) have not deem¬ed it fit to include squash in the Games,” lamented Nicol, who won the world junior title in 1999 and 2001.
She has also won the World Games title twice - Duisburg, Germany, in 2005, and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 2009 - and bagged three British Open titles - in 2005, 2006 and 2008.
Nicol is the first Malaysian to win the Commonwealth Games squash gold medal - at New Delhi last year - and has won eight Asian championships and three Asian Games -1998, 2006 and last year - gold medals.
She has also won the Wispa’s Player of the Year award five times since 2006.
That is a giddy list of achievements by any standard and Nicol is taking a well-deserved break after her Rotter¬dam high. She is going on a Roman holiday with her parents Desmond and Mary Ann.
“My parents have never been to Rome and I need a rest after winning the world title,” said Nicol, whose next last assignment of the year is the Hong Kong Open starting on Nov 15.
She will be gunning for another record in Hong Kong too – her sixth consecutive title.
Nicol’s male counterpart, Nick Matthew also lived up to his top ranking in the world championships. Matthew beat Gregory Gaultier of France 6-11, 11-9, 11-6, 11-5 to win the crown for the second time on Sunday.

Nicol tames Egyptian qualifier to reach last eight
ROTTERDAM: World No. 1 Nicol David faced some resistance from young Egyptian qualifier Nour El Sherbini before reaching the quarter-finals of the World Squash Championships at Luxor Theatre here yesterday.
The 28-year-old Penangite, who is based in Amsterdam, won 11-7, 11-6, 11-7 in 32 minutes.
Nicol, who won the Wispa best player award for the fifth time, faces her first real challenge when she meets her nemesis, sixth seed Kasey Brown of Australia, in the quarter-finals.
Brown, who upset Nicol in the quarter-finals of the United States Open in Philadelphia last month, came back from a set down to edge 11th seed Raneem El Weleily of Egypt 4-11, 11-7, 11-3, 6-11, 11-8.
Nicol was glad to beat Sherbini, who upset world No. 13 Donna Urquhart of Australia in the first round, in straight sets.
“She is one talented player who plays well beyond her 16 years,” said Nicol. “She has good shots but I made sure that I controlled the court and the game. It’s going to be a great battle against Kasey. I will have to raise my game and stay focused if I am to beat her.”
World No. 17 Samantha Teran scored the biggest win of her career when she came back from a set down to stun 2007 champion and world No. 5 Rachael Grinham of Australia 4-11, 11-2, 11-3, 12-10 in 53 minutes.
Teran will face India’s Dipika Pallikal for a place in the semi-finals. Qualifier Kanzy El Dafrawy’s fine run ended at the hands of Dipika who won 11-6, 11-7, 11-7.
World No. 2 Jenny Duncalf of England beat Joelle King of New Zealand 11-8, 7-11, 11-1, 11-3 and will square off against countrywoman Laura Massaro, who upset her in the semi-finals of the US Open last month.
Meanwhile, two-time former world champion David Palmer just got the better of fellow 35-year-old Thierry Lincou in a stunning and thrilling third round match on Wednesday.
The Australian beat the Frenchman 11-9, 3-11, 11-8, 6-11, 11-9 in a contest of remarkable courage and endurance between the two oldest men on the tour, and with such tremendous rallies that it brought the crowd to its feet several times.
