Can't stand it

i really cannot tahan when some ppl say genocide/ethnic cleansing is happening here. I wan to state my stand here clear. Genocide/ethnic cleansing is not happening here. i don't like the way you guys twist the definition of genocide to suit your cause and by saying "other's should look at it in an indian perspective."

go tell the people of the former Yugoslavia that what is happening here is genocide. you can also go tell the people of Darfur,Sudan or even Iraqi Kurds. Tell the Jews what happened to them in WW2 is similiar to what is happening to you right now. how can you similiarize your plight with what happened in the killing fields of Cambodia. In Rwanda, almost a million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutus. they were slashed to death with machetes. a painful and cruel death. do you still think the same is happening to you?

if you think that twisting universal definitions to suit your cause is alright, then consider this. Two persons which i would call the former, A and the latter, B. A is a good citizen whereas B is a thief, rapist, murderer. One day, B stole from A and raped a family member of A. A was very bitter about it and set out to find B. He eventually found him and killed him. When he was brought to court he protested his innocence and said "B's time is up, he should die. i just did him a favour and took it away for him instead of waiting for the court."

the courts would still sentence A to go to prison bcoz a murder is still a murder no matter how u twist the definition. if i were to agree with you that genocide is happening in m'sia. then i would have to agree that A is innocent too.

what is right and what is wrong?

read the whole of this article and understand it. raja petra stated what i have always held close to me which is "do not impose your values on me". i quote him "So right is wrong and wrong is right depending on who you are, where you were born, and when you were born. Your values are your values and it does not mean that they are right values. It just means that they are your perception of what are right values. So keep your values to yourself."

What really happened in the 1988 judicial crisis.

6 Supreme Court judges were suspended during that time which means theoretically, the Supreme Court itself had been suspended. How can one of the pillars of the Separation of Powers Concept be suspended? For those of you who dont know much about law and courts, there are 10 Judges in the Supreme Court at that time including the Lord President/CJ.

to know more on what really happened back then, read this. it is an account by Datuk George Seah, one of the judges suspended. you will be shocked to no end.

Issues of Judiciary

For those of you who are more interested in the current judiciary crisis going on in our country right now instead of the Nurin case, you are welcome to my blog to read up comprehensive information on that issue.

i also have a detailed transcript of the phone call recording by the lawyer VK Lingam. even did some research to give readers understanding about the whose who in Lingam's conversation. when i first heard it, i couldn't really understand also coz no context ma. the deixis also not clear.

already explained things in my blog. so happy reading and you can ask me questions if you are not clear about it.

disclaimer: i want to clear things here first. its not that i'm not interested with the Nurin case but the problem is, this kind of murders do happen from time to time, i am looking at it without emotions so that i can analyse it better and find solutions to improve the situation in our country concerning crime. what is the priority now? the nation as a whole or individual cases?

i din want to post the judiciary issue here because there are too many things being discussed here already. peace out..

Minister: Study proposal on switch to Syariah law thoroughly

PUTRAJAYA: The proposal to use Syariah law to replace English common law in court proceedings should be studied thoroughly first, said Datuk Dr Abdullah Zin.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said the move, if approved, should be done in stages.

Lauding the proposal by Chief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim, he said Syariah law gave importance to justice.

It would also be a further development for Syariah law in the country in addition to introducing a uniform syariah law in all states, Dr Abdullah sai d yesterday.

“We are already in the process of getting a uniform syariah law in all 14 states including the Federal Territory relating to family, administration and criminal law.

“If there are more proposals for the development of Syariah law, they are most welcome but it should be done in stages,” he told reporters after opening the seminar on
counselling for Muslim terminally ill patients here.

Ahmad Fairuz had said that there was no need to use English common law after 50 years of independence, suggesting another procedure as a substitute.

He said Sections 3 and 5 of the Civil Law Act permitted judges wide discretion to import English common law, equity and statutes
into the legal system to fill gaps in Malaysian laws.

Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail also responded positively to Ahmad Fairuz’s proposal.

On the seminar, Dr Abdullah said the Islamic way of treating terminally ill patients was not to tell them how many “months they had left to live”.

“The Islamic way is to give them hope and the will to continue to survive and let them depend on their own physical strength to keep them alive,” he said.
