MCA: Muslim terrorists buried here, why not Chin Peng?
http://www.mkini.co/news/241622

Turning up the heat ahead of Chin Peng's cremation, MCA questions the government’s double standard in reference to the burial of two Muslim terrorists in the country.

The party's publicity chief Heng Sia Kee said the government should not appear as being racist and allow the former communist leader’s ashes to be brought back.

Heng was referring to the late Azahari Husin and Nordin Mohamad Top, both of whom were wanted by the Indonesian government for the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings, attack on Jakarta's JW Marriott hotel in 2003, and on the Australian embassy in 2004.

They, too, were far from being Malaysian heroes, noted Heng.

"Whether Chin Peng is a hero or not is not an issue here. The government does not need any more bad publicity to be seen as making decisions based on racial lines," she added.

Furthermore, Heng said, both Azahari and Nordin could be considered the worst villains as they sought out innocent lives for destruction.

Azahari and Nordin were both colleagues in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in Johor before allegedly climbing the ranks of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a terrorist network linked to Al-Qaeda.

Azahari was shot dead in Indonesia in November 2005. Nordin was at one point Indonesia's most wanted Islamic militant and said to be a key bombmaker for JI. He was killed in 2009.

"It should be pointed out that unlike the two terrorists as named above, whose goal was terrorism and targets were innocent tourists or anything deemed Western, Chin Peng's war was to secure Independence," said Heng, adding that this was no different from Indonesians resorting to an armed struggle against the Dutch.

She noted that while it was true that Malaysia rejected communist ideals, the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) fought mostly against security forces.

In view of this, she said, MCA appealed for the Sitiawan-born Chin Peng’s ashes to be brought back.

"On humanitarian grounds, we should honour this nonagenarian’s last wishes. After all, what harm can his ashes do to the country?" she asked.

Heng also pointed out that former CPM leaders like Syed Hamid Ali and Shamsiah Faekah were also allowed to return to reside in Malaysia as agreed to in the Hatyai Agreement.

Born Ong Boon Hua in 1924, Chin Peng was pronounced dead at 6.20am on Monday in Bangkok and he is slated to be cremated on Sep 23 in Bangkok.

Among others, government leaders have argued that Chin Peng did not accept the offer for Malaysian citizenship after the peace deal was inked in 1989.

政府通过官联公司（GLC）收购华人控制的上司公司，来达到扩大马来人的经济地位，是过去5年惯用的策略。而被圈选的领域主要是金融和产业。
银行在2000年推动的强制性合并下，华人银行一夜之间变色。多家产业公司看似由华人控制与管理，但实际上已由GLC控制大股。
每个人都可以自由买卖上市公司股权，但在很多例子中，一但落入马来人或GLC手中，有关股权便不准转卖给非马来人。
实达（8664）便是其中一个例子。
有趣的是，不少失去公司控制权的华人企业家，都会另起炉灶，再战江湖。实达的刘启盛是其中一人。
刘启盛目前和实达有合约在身，目前还是公司总裁。但是，最新的演变，可能是他提早解约的前兆。。。。

Very soon many will switch their kesetiaan towards Eco/Focal. Just look at such sharp rise of Focal within few days. Liew must be enjoying this strike-back momentum now. Quite a number of full page ads of Ecoworld's projects placed these few days to impact further.

Jimmy, may the Lust be with U, haha.

SP Setia as Liew and Liew as SP Setia. Another classic case of daylight robbery onto the Non Malay's business.

Looking forward to the coming DAYA hebat week! Cheers~

The lust shall surge next week...

JV cancelled... any news?

That's why "..."

Mee too in the league of Char ASU Kui Teow. ^^

Zaid has been much daringly highlighting many "sensitive" issues in wiser and broader perspectives compared to Anwar. Hope he really could make great impact towards Malaysian fate in his capacity. Malay or non, are on a same ship, its sinking would just drown all.

Timely to recall Yasmin's messages of understanding
Aidila Razak 4:28PM Sep 15, 2013

How would the late filmmaker Yasmin Ahmad respond to a non-Muslim parent's complaint that her child was made to eat in a changing room because it was Ramadan?

"She would meet it with a sense of the ridiculous, with good humour and great understanding."

According to copywriter Jovian Lee (left in pic), who started working alongside Yasmin at the advertising agency Leo Burnett in 1990, Yasmin had even addressed this exact issue in one of her television commercials.

In the light-hearted commercial dubbed 'Cekodok Monster', a Malay woman who is fasting comically views non-Muslim eating in front of her with scorn.

Ironically, she later finds that in her scorn and suspicion, she had inadvertently stolen a Chinese man's cekodok (banana dumplings).

"It was about Muslims and non-Muslims, about people 'disrespecting our religion'," he told Malaysiakini after a forum on Yasmin's work organised by the Soka Gokkai society today.

"She understood that not everyone had the purest intentions but she always bersangka baik (assumed the best)."

Lee said that even the contentious concept of ketuanan Melayu was dealt with in a corporate video commissioned by Petronas. It was played for the audience.

The corporate video, which was part of a series that left the audience in tears today, starts with this question: "Who's earth is this anyway?"

"If I can call this earth mine, why is it that when I go I cannot take it with me, but instead it will take me?" the narrator hauntingly asks.

Understanding, not tolerance

Lee said that Yasmin, who died from a stroke in 2009 at the age of 51, always felt that tolerance could not replace understanding.

Her works, he said, came from observing and trying to truly understand "each other's problems, motivations and sadness".

He said that instead of storyboarding, Yasmin would call everyone who worked at Leo Burnett, including cleaners and office boys into her office, and everyone would share stories from their lives.

"And she would say 'I like this story, or that story', and she would take these people to meet the clients and tell their story. It doesn't matter if they could speak well or not.

"Sometimes the clients would be in tears hearing those stories, because they came from the heart...These stories are real, they were never plucked from the air," he said of the poignant commercials she is fondly remembered for.

Although well-loved, he said, Yasmin's messages were not always well-received, and she was "whacked" for her films like ‘Sepet' and ‘Gubra', which involved scenes which some did not agree with.

For example, in ‘Gubra', many took offence to a scene where a muezzin pats a stray dog while on his way to the mosque for dawn prayers.

"She was not some liberal Muslim to whom religion did not mean a thing. She prayed five times a day. Islam and God meant everything to her.

"Lots of Muslims didn't understand what she was doing...but she never gave up," he said.

Hari Malaysia - Slipstream, Pete Teo

My goal is possibly making more $ in KLSE to contribute more for opposition and Fight-4-Malaysia NGO. Haha~ Happy Malaysia Day! Go! Goal for a Brighter Malaysia, even a slight chance we have.

Agreed w zero. We are Malaysians, just a bunch of power-that-be making divisive plots to set us apart as M and non-M.

Isn't such a saddening result that we Malaysians - Malay or non, have to pluck apples to earn "high" income in Australia whereas Malaysia is such an abundant country enriched with all kind of resources?

An ongoing shamelessly racist policy maker to push Malaysia ultimately doomed.

Taiwanese news also Boleh! YTL got durian runtuh free publicity.

Agreed. The mainland Chinese are even "feared" by Taiwanese n Hong Kong Chinese in terms of their striving eagerness and passion, besides their strong technical know-how. Definitely their mastery of Mandarin are much enriched and sophisticated in context. This contributes too towards their depth and width of knowledge acquired. You may visit the TianYa BBS(天涯社区/论坛）where many intelligent minds are posting their great stories (fictional or non) which could open up our eyes to see how hard yet strong these "ordinary" folks strive to survive and prosper.

outsiders require insights ... insiders may need too

Patience, besides insight, is the ultimate power of bilis in order to swim along with sharks.

There is one universal yardstick to rate your strength in the eyes of the world: Check whether your currency is popular among exchange traders overseas. A non-fishy truth that hits you straight at the face.

The sharp plunge could be possibly due to the big clearance of sharks too

No prob. I'm no expert. But still, beware though as sharks are in different forms.Its past chart record reflecting this counter has been obviously gorenged (and I believe there are many counters alike, no goreng, hardly a counter surge it seems).

Cant use the last corresponding quarter profit as reference to compare its profit for Q2 2013 as a result of its debt n interest waiver exercise. Compared to the Q1 this year, the profit had doubled. So it performs well.

Worth to give this company for at least a year to see its expansion materialised with greater profit. China, as projected, shall become its biggest pool of revenues.

Its price level is quite steady now... not much it seems could drop further. Many old holders been cleared off since last 2 months. How high it could climb would depend of regional n global trading sentiment.

China internet business has been leaping forth year after year, and provide opportunities as well as threats to businesses there. We Malaysian no way could reach that, believe me, due to the current gomen's quality and standard. Forget that!

Good Luck to all. Good enough if Sept behaves normal.

靈通尋找併購或聯營機會

Beware. US DJ is on its down trend closer to its EMA200. Sept is crucial for the KLSE.

Great one. Thanks Tan.

If you follow DJ's TA, its momentum getting weaker. May have one long candle plunge soon. Beware. Rebound expectation easily kills you one shot!

1) US market trend is not positive
2) Regional markets esp SEA n India are getting weaker
3) QE effect
4) Malaysia's economy n currency are weaker

Under so many uncertainties,CASH is King.

Damned M2U. again failed to log in.

That's the problem of guessing. I reflect myself today, n conclude my own weakness of "expecting" the management would act in right way to justify their main board debut by supporting the price. Now I wont expect that anymore. Just hope this intent's something conducive.

mo more sushi, makan roti...

Or you could be washed into drain by market force too.

A lesson to the big players too - never wash so hard on ur own stock.

Its TA in fact about to move north, but this sudden storm just arrived at the very juncture. Bad timing.

I think many had dumped this stock due to long impatience too, and their action finally triggered by this panicking sentiment.

more like US's topple plan onto the world's markets.

why 17 sept?

With the recent fund raise thru right issue n WA, the management is now cash rich to tap on more business opportunities at better cost effectiveness given the current situation.

A good lesson of POWER of PANICKING

Envious to those holding cash now... so dirt cheap good stocks to pick

Sound fundamental with specialized business competitiveness across the region in F&B recession proof business - not worth worrying ^^ (though sometimes cursing the management of non-action to support the price)

Malaysia now is Endless Terriblities of Crimes. May the guard be safe.
