The Racist

This entry is serious and I apologize for not being able to make a little humor out of it.

This entry is based on a racial remark by Hamidah binti Osman (MP UMNO/Barisan Nasional, Sungai Rapat, Perak) at Perak State Assembly:

“Indians are worse than snakes.”

"There's a well-known Malay saying that goes 'If you see a snake and an Indian, kill the Indian first.' Do you agree or disagree with it?"

Protests against her remark are raised and I recommend these links for further reading:

The Origin of Racism (According to Abrahamic Faith)

Perhaps she has that sweet look so any fool can easily be fooled by the look. By the remark, without a slightest doubt, she is a racist. How to describe the real look of a racist?

To describe the real look of a racist, one ought to go back into time and re-look the origin of racism.

It goes back to the beginning of mankind's creation. This new creation of God was created from clay and named Adam. After his creation, God ordered the Angels and those with them to prostrate to Adam. They all prostrated except Iblis. Iblis believes he is better than Adam as he is made of fire while Adam of clay.

Without question, the Devil was consequently the world's first racist! Racists do have these “Pride and Arrogance” which lead to thinking that they are better than others. Pride and arrogance are truly Devilish traits which humans have learnt from Iblis. Having learnt something from Iblis, what makes racists?

Yes, Iblis followers.

They have to be. You see, racism is not human nature. Don’t trust me?

To those who have kids (Racists are excluded although they may have kids), may sure notice that ANY BABY WILL SMILE OR LAUGH at ANY PERSON who make ANY KIND OF FUNNY GESTURES. Since all babies are humans in pure form, racism then is not human nature.

The Look …

So how do racists really look like when they throw away their racial remarks?

They can be described in many words:

SATANIC, DEVILLISH, ARROGANT, ANGER, HATRED, UGLY, SPOILED, REVENGE, CYNICAL, …

Too many words I must say. In short, the description is not nice at all.

The Character …

Not only racists have that satanic looks every time they speak their racial remarks … they too share their common Iblis trait … they love to whisper.

You see, it is Iblis’ nature to whisper because whispering into the hearts has been a very good strategy. So when not speaking openly in the public, racists do group with each other and speak among themselves the satanic whispering way … their racial remarks or statements or jokes and racists will do their satanic giggling way which of course make them look …

SATANIC, DEVILLISH, ARROGANT, ANGER, HATRED, UGLY, SPOILED, REVENGE, CYNICAL, …

The main objective of racists doing all these whispering is to spread HATRED, DISGUST, ANGER and other SATANIC FEELING toward those who are not them and at the same time to build their SATANIC PRIDE, ARROGANCE, SUPREMACY and other SATANIC CHARACTERISTICS among themselves.

Strangely, as previously said, racism is not human nature. So what went wrong?

Humans fall for the age-old trick of Satan and start playing the silly inferiority/superiority game. Some stereotype others and tolerate prejudice against other human beings, despite the fact that all human beings are equal, from the same man and woman.

Since all babies are not racists, racism then must have started during the upbringing and influenced by the environment.

The Upbringing …

Since racism is originated from Iblis, there must be some reasons on why racism started.

You see, before Adam, Iblis enjoyed some kind of privilege and the major one was being the righteous among all creatures. The creation of Adam however has given some kind of competition which led to two very extreme feelings in Iblis – JEALOUSY AND PRIDE where the former is an extreme INFERIORITY FEELING while the latter is an extreme SUPERIORITY FEELING.

Racists then must have grown up with these two extreme feelings.

The Environment …

Why does it not surprised me a bit that racists like Hamidah binti Osman are from a racial based political party like UMNO?

The Living Contract - Racism Is Against God

Quran: Nisa’a, 1:
"Reverence God Who created you all from one person".

Quran: Rum, 21-22:
“Signs of His Power are His creation of heaven and of earth, and the varieties of tongues and skins; in all of which are sermons for the wise. And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge.”

Quran: Al-Hujjurat, 13:
“O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allâh is that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [i.e. pious) . Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware”

Quran: Aali-Imran, 6:
“He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases. La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the All-Mighty, the All-Wise”

Quran: Ghafir, 64:
“Allah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good (looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allâh, your Lord, then blessed be Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all that exists).”

Quran: At-Thghabun, 3: “He has created the heavens and the earth with truth, and He shaped you and made good your shapes, and to Him is the final Return”

The Effects of Racism

There are many racists in this world. Historically, when the like of Hamidah binti Osman give the racial remarks at state level, national level and international level, bad things do happen – street violence, torn wars, the lost generation, waste land and other bad things.

The Last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad

O people, Remember that your Lord is One. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a black has no superiority over white, nor a white has any superiority over black, except by piety and good action (Taqwa). Indeed the best among you is the one with the best character (Taqwa). Listen to me. Did I convey this to you properly? People responded, Yes. O messenger of God, The Prophet then said, then each one of you who is here must convey this to everyone not present.

With this, I as a blogger have conveyed.

The Elitism Series: Civilization Before Civilization

PQ4

Too many things are happening now. Politicians of all sides are now actively exposing things. Though only at the beginning, we are yet to see more. The favorite chess move opening has commenced.

Meantime …

The Elite are getting smarter than ever. Though they lost the 2/3 majority, still they have the power for many prerogative decision-making. Blogging then is getting even more relevant than ever.

You see, mass action these days can be very frustrating and I believe it will stay that way from now onwards. As said, the Elite are getting smarter and they have learnt ways to overcome problems given by mass actions. Oh yes, they have learnt a lot from HINDRAF, BERSIH, The Lawyers Walk and soon … The Fuel Price Hike Demo.

Why am I saying the Elite are getting smarter?

You see, though the demos launched effectively and were major facts behind the lost of the 2/3 majority, only minimal improvements are achieved. Obviously, the kind of improvements we keep seeing are actions taken to strengthening their own positions and groups. Mass actions then have never really reached the top heads.

So what am I personally going to do about this?

I have tried countless times to voice out my opinions to the Elite themselves as nowadays, they too blog. Unfortunately, my comments have never been published because the way I look at it, they hesitate to publish any negative comments against them. What even disgust me more is that, certain journalists and known writers back their postings up all the way.

Rather somehow, this kind of situation has never surprised me a bit. From the beginning of my blogging activities, I have already described both groups as brothers-in-arms.

I’ll be promoting citizen-journalism by participating more in blogging with those non-journalist and non-Elite. I foresee the future of citizen-journalism is getting brighter as society itself is getting individualistic. With citizen-journalism over journalism by journalists themselves, I do see the possible change where the mass in general can come to conclude any form of changes. Only when once the mass have the ability to conclude, the mass can become more independent. Once the mass can become more independent, the Elite can be directly be shaken. Of course too, journalism by the journalists can be irrelevant :-)

When the power stays in the hands of a limited group of privileged individuals (The Elite), most humans will remain secondary citizens. So it is time to change. Let everyone has some power.

Today … my second year of blogging … completed.

We are ready when the sun shines
To the river, to the gold mine
Gold or silver, copper or lead
Treasure hidden in the earth bed

Working with our own hands
Blessed by the motherland

So the miners work all out mining
Passionately with their every breath

TDM – Terrific Deformed Megabridge

This entry is brought forward by Assholes United. Yes, we do have assholes :-)

We at Assholes United are so impressed by the design and explaination given by the ex-Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir aka TDM on his Crooked Bridge at his blog.

We feel so sorry for the cancelation :-)

As TDM had the ambition to also build a bridge that link Malaysia Peninsular and Sumatera across Strait of Malacca (you know … the busiest strait in the world with lotsa earthquake activities and not to mention the possibility of another tsunami), we think it is our obligation to dream of the bridge and picture above is our preliminary sketch.

The bridge will be named as TDM which stands for Terrfic Deformed Megabridge.

This bridge is designed to be more crooked and is estimated to be the most expensive man-made structure the world has ever seen. Malaysia Boleh! (Malaysia Can!).

Though we know the technology does exist to make the bridge as straight as possible but … ehem ehem … the more crooked it is, the more expensive it will cost and the more expensive … ehem ehem … the more we get paid *wink*

We believe Malaysians and Indonesians and the whole world don’t have to worry about the cost as it will be covered by … ehem ehem … toll paid by users.

As the bridge will require mega high cost for maintenance, don’t worry, we have also set up companies to be run by our sons and our next generations for the job.

We at Assholes United are also glad to inform on our next project which we believe to be the only wonder of the whole universe. It is also a bridge which will be named as MM.

No no no no no no … it does not stand for Mahathir Mohamed. It stands for Malacca to Moon.

Long Live Legacy!!!

So step aside you Puteri Gunung Ledang!!!

Animation

My 6–month probation period on Animation is nearly over now. I’ve learned many things. Sadly, I notice doing 3D animation requires very large memory. Until I can write better 3D script for Flash, 2D will have to do from now onwards.

Even for 2D, I have no choice but to rely mostly on drawings. ‘The Elitism Series’ will be my kind of animating style. I decided to create characters based on ‘Wayang Kulit’. I like morphing and tweening. Yet to improve more on Bone Animation as Frame-to-Frame can be very taxing and lousy. I love sceneries and I guess, pictures of women should be frequent. I like diversity of colours too.

Hope the animations synchronize and describe the songs well and vice versa.

To those who are interested in animation, I highly recommend Flash MX or better versions. Still, you need patient and passion.

Paying the heavy price

You’ll be in my hand
I’ll take your precious land
So here I come
Things will get so undone

To the great kingdom we go …

Hello Mr. Banker

In the land of plenty
Monopolize

Hello Mr. Traitor
I am ready for my destiny
In the land of plenty

Go Fishing

What a week due to the fuel price hike. When the new accounting data-entry business started this year, I thought I was very smart when I only initialized clients' balanced sheets. The reason was to start the data-entry only according to what we are paid for. The methodology worked well for at least to identify clients' current financial situations. The fuel price hike however gave a different perspective.

When the fuel price was raised, I was immediately instructed to enter backdated entries without any charge. As the family business connection is the major shareholder of the business, they have all the say.

It was a good move though the business have to bear all the cost of the extra expenses.

Something is confirmed significantly. Though the price hike has immediate affect on some business sectors (logistics and transportation, wholesaling and retailing), other sectors are not affected and in fact they are growing very well:

a) Plantation - Paddy, Coconut, Cocoa, Coffee, Palm and Rubber
b) Fruits and Vegetables
c) Poultry
d) Agriculture Services
e) Fisheries and Aquaculture
f) Human Capital Development
g) Other Services

Yesterday (Saturday), we had a business meeting where for the first time this year, all family business connections of all sectors participated. With the pro-forma of projected financial statements, we decided to:

a) Stop immediately all planned developments in SMI (Small-Medium Industry).
b) Reduced the targets for wholesaling and retailing.
c) Increase more investments in the better growing sectors.
d) Immediate deployment of human capital.

The fuel price hike is troublesome in most business sectors. It however has direct impact on some sectors to perform better.

The chinese are right. Danger does spell OPPORTUNITY and that's why the word danger is symbolized by the word opportunity. In fact, throughout my business experience, we made HUGE money in crises - The mid-80s Economic Recession, The Asian Financial Crisis, The 1999 Edible Oil Glut, The Gulf Wars and there is without doubt the Food and Fuel Crises spell BIG MONEY!

This is the best time to go fishing in troubled waters. I'm talking about A LOT OF MONEY here.

Think........

Enjoy the Ride

Saidina Ali (A cousin and a good friend of Prophet Muhammad) somewhat did say:

"I prefer to argue with my friends in unity rather acting nice with them in disunity".

The Elite initiators of Islam Hadhari however prefer otherwise. Before the election, they promise us no fuel hike but nearly 3 months after being elected again as the government (though without 2/3 majority), the fuel price is raised in a parabolic pattern. Contrary to what was promised by the opposition, the Elite made a move considered as political harakiri. Their only reason is simple - to accept reality in tandem with the global pricing. The elite decided to float the price to the open market.

This was not the first time. Fuel price hikes were done many times before during the tenure of their ruling. The last time they did take out the chunk of the subsidy, the least they did it in a nice way or funny way by first explaining to the public the reasons behind the move. They even gave us a very funny slogan:

"HELP US TO HELP YOU"

Well we did help (by force of course) but what do we get in return?

Taking on Malaysian voters for a ride by telling lies is an act of hypocrisy. No? Being in their suits and tie, nice talking, smiling and waving for the means of being elected is not hypocrisy? Let's check on how Islam (probably not Islam Hadhari) lay out the elements of hypocrisy:

a) When they speak, they tell lies - Yep
b) When they promise, they break it - Yep
c) When given the trust, they betray it - Maybe yes or else why bother to shred the documents after losing?
d) When in arguments, they will never admit to concur especially to their lies, broken promises and betrayal of trust - Obviously and their Elite Legend is the worst of them all.

Interesting...... Open markets in execution among so many other commodities and necessities of life, it has to be the fuel.

Is it really logical? Is there a scam? Is it because of something else?

Elite oo Elite, is it a mystery that we are the net oil exporting nation? Has Petronas becoming even more mysterious not only in bailing out but also something else that the financial statements has never been revealed (of sort)? How come you Elite still have not sacked that Elite? You Elite don't sack another Elite right?

Elite oo Elite, we too are an oil importing nation right? Who owns the shipping company that is responsible for the importing operations ... ehem ehem *wink* ... importing via Singapore some more ... wow!

Elite oo Elite, among so many commodities and necessities, fuel is now floated to the open markets but why not automobile? Comparing Proton Wira and Toyota Vios, Malaysians are paying at a premium price of about RM 26,000. That's 9,600 liters of fuel!

Elite oo Elite, without doubt Sabah and Sarawak have becoming politically phenomenal and now a deciding factor to whom to rule the nation. Question is, in tandem with global pricing or in tandem with political allies? You know, perhaps their demand in better oil royalties are fulfilled (Can't blame them right?) *wink*

Elite oo Elite, why the global pricing has to be the reason behind the hike? Is not better global pricing is good for us? Is it because something else? Are you selling our oil at 1998 oil price ... you know, Japanese loans during the financial crisis in return for oil contracts? *wink*

Elite oo Elite, should the japanese loans to be true, aren't we in double troubles? You know, not only the mismanagement in the nation wealth handling (selling oil at a ridiculously low price) but also the conversion of more ringgit to JPY as USD has been weakening along the years.

Elite oo Elite, if not so, then never mind at USD 130 per barrel, even at USD 30 per barrel, the nation as a whole should enjoy luxurious life right now as in Dubai! No? :-)

Elite oo Elite, price hike is said to help upbringing national developments? What developments dear Elite? Like building the highways which in the end Malaysians have to pay for the toll kind of development? Like moving University Malaya to Sepang area (where the lecturers, university staffs and the students have to travel from everywhere to a remote place with fuel price hike some more) so you Elite can build all those luxurious living-with-style for you Elite kind of development?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Sorry but the slogan "HELP US TO HELP YOU" is not funny BUT disgusting. The fuel price hike is not helping anybody and the nation completely. Economically, it does not even make any sense for an oil exporting nation UNLESS ... there is a wealth mismanagement somewhere. Come to think of it, it has to be ...

There are many reasons on why the fuel price hike will not help anybody (exceptional goes to the Elite):

Without doubt businesses will have no choice but to adjust to the new rate. This is where you Elite have missed greatly with mega ignorance - FUEL IS THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL COMMODITY IN BUSINESSES. Prices in any products (or mostly should we discounted some services) will have to rise no matter how the Elite thought they can control.

Consumers too will have to re-adjust their expenditures (exceptional of course will have to go to the Elite). Standard of living will have to go down.

In economics and even in reality, there are so many products that rely heavily on pricing. Certain products can sell well at certain price and can at least make some profits should business raise the pricing. Any products however (exceptional goes to those which are inelastic ... like ... ehem ehem ... FUEL!!!), cannot be sold at certain price level. Should a product be adjusted according to the new fuel hike and is pricing at the level it can't be sold, a business have to re-structured or close down. Should this happen and will happen to certain businesses, unemployment shall rise.

Not only unemployment shall rise, employers too have no choice but to bargain with the newbies who are starting to look for a job for a lower salary. Exceptional of course goes to you Elite because you are Elite :-)

Well, unlike you Elite who can afford to go for your vacations overseas (where got class for you Elite to do local vacation ... at least New York, Sydney, Melbourne, Paris, London and all), the people have to cut down on vacation spending. This is okay to us because we don't mind taking our kids to the nearby parks for fresh air and playing (unlike your Elite kids, our kids are not that demanding) but pity the local tourism industry that will suffer. With the price hike, cost on traveling is getting huge. No? You Elite go figure la. Ooppss, exceptional goes to you Elite as the price hike is just peanuts to you.

You Elite don't have to worry as you have managed to shelter, feed, dress and educate your kids very well and luxuriously too. To the rest of the people, they can start to worry a lot. Even before the price hike, we already have faced the food price hike where parents having difficulties providing money to their kids particularly those studying at the college or university level. Expect more and more university students to be hungrier than ever. So what happen when they are hungry? Well, immorality breeds immorality and these are the only tips of the iceberg.

Not only starvation is so close to immorality, it is also close to violence. It is not statistically new that poor standard of living is proportion to criminal rates. You Elite of course don't have to worry that much regarding the safety of your family because you Elite can afford better security. So far, they were not your kids who have been snatched, kidnapped, raped, murdered and other inhuman acts right? You Elite are not the ones who have to walk alone at night or early in the morning to the train stations or bus stops to work right and exposed yourself to be snatched right?

.
Enjoy Your Ride

The fuel price hike is sure a political suicide move OR is it your Elite tricky move? You know, like the Sparsky chess opening where you start off with aggressive and offensive openings then retreat back for a long play defensive game. Perhaps, you Elite have foreseen your total lost in the next election so the need to rake the nations wealth as much as possible before the coming election in the name of developments cannot be prolonged?

Whatever behind your moves are, obviously there is a mega desperate need to know what exactly has happened particularly 22 years of premiership by you know who. There is a mega desperate need to know how the wealth of the nation is managed. The price hike is obviously the signal that something somewhere is so mismanaged. As you Elite has provided the signal yourself, enjoy the ride. Oh yes, don't forget to get ready with the shredding machines too. You Elite can ask your Selangor Elite for help on this one as he has the experience :-)

Strange isn't it. Before the election, you Elite were so arrogant, so not behaved with keris waving some more, but after the election, you are getting even worse. After the election, your faces look more stupid and funnier than ever :-) Right after the price hike, your faces look disgusting :-)

By the way, to you Elite who do blog, please don't bother to keep acting that you are into helping the poor and so on whatever. You know what they say, YOU CAN JOKE TO SOME PEOPLE SOMETIMES BUT YOU CANNOT JOKE TO ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. Oh by the way, please don't joke around. Now onwards, whatever you do, say, not say, whatever ... IS DISGUSTING.

Reality Check

This entry is brought forward by Azer Leadership Unfounded.

TDM claimed himself as a Realist and at the same time, he is very sarcastic on Malay Supremacy:

Note: Tuan = Master (Of sort)

Tanah Melayu = Malaysia Peninsular

Adapted from his blog:

I am a realist and hold to reality. Previously, the Malays are the 'Tuan' in Tanah Melayu.

The Malays however did not fight against the colonialist in the era where Tanah Melayu was colonized by the British and in fact, the Malays themselves refer the British as Tuan.

We can call ourselves as Tuan only and only if we are independent on other people and not becoming their coolie, to call ourselves as Tuan then is meaningless.

We have the political power in 50 years of independence. This allows us to call ourselves as Tuan. However, we are not wholly Tuan. We can call ourselves as Tuan in a meaningful sense if the Malays are able and succeed in economy and social. This can be done if we are determined to acquire knowledge and all skills in the era of high technology. Unfortunately we strive not as much toward this objective. We prefer an easy solution. We allow things to be fed to us.

Today the Malays have lost the political power. The Malays and the Malay Institution are no more respected by the non-Malays. Whatever considered as the Malay Privileges are questioned and challenged. The Malays are doing nothing in the challenge and to strengthen their positions.

In fact, they have asked certain people to protect the Malays positions. This is 'passing the buck' as said by Westerners, including the reasons that this is all because of Dr. Mahathir who governed for 22 years and had chosen Dato' Seri Abdullah as successor.

The Malays destiny is in the hands of the Malays. We cannot be Tuan simply by reviving the history. We can be Tuan should we are bold in our actions, willing to take the risks, willing to acquire knowledge and skills without relying on anybody.

To deny the real and true facts will not bring anything. Accepting that we are having big problems and act to overcome the problems are the ways to bring back our dignities.

That way we don't have to call ourselves Tuan as the world shall call us the Real Tuan.

TDM is a politician...

This writing however may also act as his way of cynical expression to elaborate more on what he said in Johor Baru on May 17th:

He warned the Malays that they stood to lose much in the new political environment where the non-Malays were unafraid to make demands.

“If we don’t speak up, if we choose to keep quiet, we will lose our rights and the other races will take over,” he told some 1,000 people at a gathering in Johor Baru.

If the writing is not meant for being cynical, then again, TDM is being contradictory as always. That TDM quits UMNO (the political party he renewed does indicate his continuous fighting for the Malay Supremacy through political power ... here we go again and again and again.

In different circles, he keeps pulling the ground. In different circles, he keeps spinning round and round and round.

.
Reality Check

I'm not sure on what he meant as being a realist. Today, reality is, there is a huge demand in EQUALITY. Equality is where there are no distinctions and there are no superiorities or supremacies. This is a reality of human nature which is so against his own kind of reality.

REALITY demands perfection in equality that affords NO TEMPTATION. The result of the general election clearly shows there is a growing demand to stop corruption, nepotism, cronyism, marginalization, racism and so on BUT the REALITY is ... UMNO is perceived otherwise.

The way towards REALITY demanded is to throw aside narrowness of soul, that selfishness of principle, which the niggards of all professions are so unwilling to part with, and one will be at once delivered of one's fears on that head. Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society.

REALITY is HUMANS are all of one degree and consequently that all humans are born equal, and with equal natural rights, in the same manner as if posterity had been continued by creation instead of generation. Marginalization is INHUMAN.

REALITY is nearly all the leaders in the law-makers side are of his own management. Should leadership today is considered weak, then there should not be any difference between today's leadership comparatively during his time.

What does this weak leadership could mean?

REALITY is, it is the continuing of his own LEGACY ... be it in the process of leaders selections, project implementations, egoistic expenditures etc etc etc.

Struggling is not yet over in what sense? Nationalism in what sense? Reality is, do UMNO members love each other OR the other way around?

Reality is, TDM is now out of UMNO BUT keeps on with his own kind of struggling. What struggle is? Helping the poor? His own son follows his move too. Mind telling people how much the sons worth?

So much of the Reality Man.
