When I read the news and blogs, I get really depressed.
The outright injustice, the lies, the political marriages of convenience, the hypocrisy, are clearly evident in Malaysia.
Read these articles and form your own opinion of the country we call Malaysia and the people running it.
MANEK URAI
By now you would know that PAS won by a mere 65 votes. This is good. Wake up call for PAS.
Yet at the same time, one wonders if the result is due to the old vote-buying habit of UMNO, and corrupt SPR officials:
From zorro-unmasked
“8:54pm
SHEIH called to inform that three SPR officials form Johore we trying to bring in 2 bags. The were stopped by the PAS people“
From malaysiakini
“‘Vote buying’: RM300 ‘transport allowance’“
From wandering troubadour
“The amount of money that changed hands with voters was simply unbelievably high that almost every household can have a one month holiday to savour their fortune. Only the Almighty knows the extent of their guilt and no mortal soul can claim that what they did was immoral as nobody knows who votes for whom, at least for most of us that is.“
What more can I say?
And all the while you have these religious people going berserk if you so much as make fun of their wafer thin religiosity.
MUSLIM JOURNALISTS SPYING IN A CHURCH?
Speaking of religion, I read Lucia Lai’s article on muslim men spying on churches a few days ago. I did not want to comment on it as I thought it is a one-off incident by really idiotic journalists.
However, when I read in Malaysia Today and other online portals that Malaysia arrests 9 Christians on conversion claim, I was disgusted.
Here a group of christians were arrested on a mere allegation. According to the lawyer representing these nine:
They claimed they were visiting friends, but a Muslim student apparently filed a police complaint accusing them of trying to convert Muslims.
Note that they were arrested on the mere strength of a filed complaint. Shouldn’t they investigate first before the arrest? In case of the journalists spying in the church, no arrest was carried out despite the ample proof.
I crap shit when I read this kind of injustice. This and other such injustice by the wayward Muslims (as opposed to those who really walk the talk) does not but prejudice your perceptions of Islam.
MALAYSIAN ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION
MACC – what a joke. More like “Malaysian Acknowledged Corrupt Coppers”.
MACC did not jump to investigate Port Klang, Khir’s palatial palace – to name but a few.
In the case of DAP (Selangor), MACC raids offices of two DAP lawmakers
Mighty efficient, aren’t they? Especially when it involves the opposition.
Of course, one does not rule out that these DAP fellas may be guilty. But no less guilty than those cases involving BN. And those BN cases involves humongous amount of money.
I taste bitter bile reading this. What about you?
ANWAR IBRAHIM’S TRIAL
This takes the lot:
Malaysia: Politics Drive Upcoming Anwar Trial
Human Rights Watch said the current charge appears politically motivated and lacks credibility.
The government has failed to disclose key evidence to the defense, hastily sought to pass a DNA statute that aids the prosecution, and put Anwar at a disadvantage by unnecessarily moving the trial to the high court. In addition, the government allowed the attorney general, who is under investigation for misconduct in Anwar’s previous trial, to be involved in the current case.
A man is innocent until proven guilty. Until then, he must be availed all assistance he deems necessary for his defence.
In the case of Anwar, justice is not only seen as “not done” but is manifestly “not done”
What a crap week!
