The mentally sick bigots,it's molestation...

Girls in multiple schools in Malaysia have to undergo “period spot checks” where they are told to physically prove they are on their period through means which violate privacy, according to current students and those who left school up to 20 years ago.

Over a dozen individuals reached out to Malaysiakini in less than 24 hours after a call for stories was made. They recalled how the behaviour towards menstruation at boarding schools was “shameful” but was accepted as “normal practice”.

Many of the girls were from boarding schools but this was also said to be a practice at day schools and Islamic private schools, Malaysiakini was told. They narrated how their years of growing up from young girls to teenagers, marked by the start of menstruation, became a source of trauma and shame that still haunts them to this day.

 Raba bontot, unhook bras, raba private parts 

stories from the sekolah asrama penuh. 

A key trigger was the practice of teachers or seniors demanding “proof of menstruation” from girls who did not join daily congregational prayers which are commonly held in residential or religious-based schools. In Islam, women or girls who are menstruating do not perform ritual prayers.

We thank Allah swt that this is not a Malaysian problem. This is another uniquely Malay problem. Meaning it can be easier contained and solved. We never hear any such things happening in Chinese schools, Tamil schools or to boys and girls of other races. (With the exception of another religion based school - a non-Islamic religion where young boys have been abused, covered up and not reported.) 

But back to the issue - this is indeed yet another problem in this country that is unique to the Malays - and once again because of religious enforcement by "village mentality" ustazahs who are given positions in the many sekolah asrama that we have in the country. Here are more comments from victims of sexual offences by the religious teachers and they must be prosecuted under the sexual offences act.

Bila Ustazah raba bontot student...

Well Malays are human beings too and it is time that we all raised the alarm and put a stop to these sexual crimes that are being carried out by the ustazahs on unsuspecting Malay girls in the sekolah asrama system and maybe in other schools as well.

These are sexual crimes. Make no mistake. The victims must go and make police reports,it is not enough to make one or two police reports. These sexual crimes against our young girls in the name of agama has to be stopped now. - Syed Akbar Ali

"Berita itu terbocor dan kami cemas," kata Liew. Selepas itu, kata Liew, pemimpin-pemimpin PH berjumpa Mahathir di pejabatnya. Tambah anggota Dewan Negara itu lagi, dia kemudian mendapatkan maklumat mengenai apa yang berlaku daripada menteri kewangan ketika itu, Lim Guan Eng.

"Saya tinggalkan bangunan (pejabat perdana menteri) ketika pemimpin-pemimpin (PH) masuk ke bilik perdana menteri, (saya) dapat tahu daripada Guan Eng ketika kami berjumpa dengan Kit Siang kemudiannya, bahawa Mahathir mahu menyingkirkan Yeo kerana ketegasannya berhubung isu Lynas dan isu-isu lain berkaitan alam sekitar.

"Pemimpin-pemimpin (PH) berjaya memujuk Mahathir daripada meneruskan rancangannya itu. Yeo kekal (sebagai menteri)," katanya. Liew juga tidak menjelaskan secara khusus apa yang membuat Mahathir kecewa dengan tindakan Yeo. - mk

Yes, it is true that Dr M 

wanted to sack Yeo Bee Yin...

Malaysiakini today focussed on Liew Chin Tong’s book which revealed that in 2019, then prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad wanted to sack Yeo Bee Yin as energy, science, technology, environment and climate change minister over the Lynas issue although eventually, this did not take place.

I was never involved in this but I learnt about it. This incident indicates the complexities of the Pakatan Harapan government under Mahathir. I have said that Harapan has to learn the lessons of their 22-month governance and its toppling by the Sheraton Move conspiracy which ushered in a backdoor, undemocratic, illegitimate and kakistocracy government.

One of these lessons is to be serious about our election pledges. We have a 'Buku Harapan' which contained Harapan’s election promises in the 14th general election. Early on in the Harapan government, it was the prime minister, Mahathir, who said the manifesto was not a bible. As a result, even if 80 or 90 percent of the election pledges had been implemented in the five-year mandate, the damage had been done.

It was worse when the five-year mandate of the Harapan government was cut short after 22 months by the Sheraton Move conspiracy. The Harapan Government was not a DAP government but comprised four political parties – DAP, PKR, Amanah and Bersatu.

As Chin Tong recounted in his book, I met Mahathir as prime minister twice in his office where I discussed the importance of restoring public confidence and having a coherent explanation about Harapan’s manifesto and policies.

After our second meeting, Harapan formed a manifesto review committee with Chin Tong as chairperson to address the public perception about undelivered election promises.  But the Harapan government was toppled by the Sheraton Move conspiracy before its manifesto review committee could finalise its report.

This is why I cannot understand those who refuse to listen to explanations of why a particular election pledge had not been fulfilled, for instance, the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) recognition issue.

The 'Buku Harapan' promise on the UEC in the 14th general election said: “Pakatan Harapan will undertake to recognise UEC certificates to enter public institutions of higher learning (IPTA) provided that applicants have a credit in Bahasa Malaysia at the SPM level. For this purpose, the UEC certificate will be assessed to be equivalent to the existing general qualification for entry into IPTA.”

At the DAP retreat in 2019, Mahathir said the Harapan government was committed to the pledge to recognise the UEC certificate to enter public institutions of learning after an assessment. Anwar Ibrahim also made a similar commitment.

But the toppling of the Harapan government after 22 months by the Sheraton Move conspiracy made it impossible to fulfil the election manifesto which was to be fulfilled within the five-year term. But there were critics who refuse to listen to explanations, shutting their eyes and closing their ears. There are advocates who want DAP to return to the past and be an opposition.

I have been in the federal opposition for 52 years and I have no fears about being in the opposition again. But we must aim to return to form a government for it is when in power that things can get done.

One, however, must be realistic in that we must work with like-minded political leaders from other political parties who believe in the 'Malaysian Dream' for Malaysia to be a world-class great nation as the DAP cannot on its own form a federal government in Malaysia.

However, DAP leaders must not be corrupted by power, whether in government or in the opposition, and throughout the 55 years of DAP history, the DAP leadership has not compromised on this important principle. - Lim Kit Siang,mk

Katak nak lompat dari Seberang Jaya ke Shah Alam...

 Kemana saja pengkianat pergi 

perangai pengkianat tetap takkan berubah...

Din punyalah terdesak sampai Mesjid pun disaman...

Sehari dua ini, saya berasa teramat sedih...

Dulu mereka kecam Dato' Lee Chong Wei kerana menderma laptop kepada anak-anak orang susah melalui program anjuran pejabat saya, sekarang ada yang nak heret isu kaum dan agama dalam soal kebajikan. Mengapa mereka bersungguh-sungguh nak pecah-belahkan rakyat Malaysia? Mengapa perlu api-apikan sentimen kaum dan agama? Rakyat sudah cukup susah, cukup merana kerana Covid. Ramai yang hilang kerja, gaji kena potong, bisnes gulung tikar. Orang politik yang sudah ada kuasa, mengapa masih mahu membakar negara dengan isu kaum dan agama? 

Saya seorang wakil rakyat, tugas saya untuk membantu rakyat susah di kawasan saya tanpa mengira kaum dan agama. Kadang kala, orang susah luar kawasan datang, saya tak sampai hati nak tolak, saya bantu juga sedaya upaya setakat yang mampu. Saya bantu bukan kerana saya hebat atau kaya - ramai lagi yang jauh lebih hebat dan pandai daripada saya. Jauh sekali keluarga saya boleh dianggap sebagai kaya. Tapi semua ini saya buat demi menunaikan amanah berat yang telah diberi. 

Ada yang kata saya hanya bantu Cina, ada pula yang kata saya hanya bantu Melayu. Sungguh sedih mengapa masih ada pandangan begini. Orang yang saya bantu, ada Cina, Melayu, India, bahkan kawan-kawan di Sabah Sarawak sana. Saya tak dapat post semua aktiviti bantuan di sini, tapi saya tak pernah tanya orang yang dibantu itu kaum apa, agama apa, parti politik apa. 

Ada yang kata saya ada agenda agama. Mengapa perlu libatkan agama saya? Bagiku agamaku, bagimu, agamamu. Harapan saya ialah, yang Islam jadi Muslim yang lebih baik, yang Kristian jadi Kristian yang lebih baik, yang Buddha jadi Buddha yang lebih baik, yang Hindu jadi Hindu yang lebih baik, kita semua jadi manusia yang lebih baik, nescaya Malaysiaku aman sentosa. 

Walaupun saya amat terkesan dengan fitnah dan cemuhan yang dilontarkan, saya tidak akan berhenti berkhidmat. Saya tetap akan bantu semua tak kira kaum dan agama. Ini ikrar saya dulu semasa dipilih sebagai wakil rakyat. Kalau saya gagal, saya tidak berani berdepan rakyat nanti. Lagi menggerunkan, kalau saya gagal, saya akan terkelu di depan Tuhan yang akan menyoal segala perilaku atas amanah yang dipertanggungjawabkan. 

Memanah bintang di malam gelita,

Sebutir terjatuh menjadi batu,

Amanah ku tatang dengan air mata,

Khuatir membela diri di Hari Itu. - Steven Sim Chee Keong,MP DAP Bukit Mertajam

Sim saddened his welfare work 

turned into racial and religious issue...

Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim expressed sadness that his welfare work had been turned into a racial and religious issue.

This was after Universiti Utara Malaysia senior lecturer Kamarul Zaman Yusoff listed Sim's (above) various charitable work and warned Muslims to be cautious about accepting help from "Christian evangelists".

"As an MP, my duty is to help people in my constituency who need assistance, regardless of race and religion. Sometimes, if people from outside my constituency seek help, I also do my best to help as I do not have the heart to turn them away.

"I have never asked what is their race, religion or political party. Some people say I have a religious agenda. Why involve my religion? For me, my religion is mine, your religion is yours.

"My hope is that a Muslim will be a good Muslim, a Christian will be a good Christian, a Buddhist will be a good Buddhist, a Hindu will be a good Hindu. Malaysia will be a peaceful country if we all strive to be good human beings," Sim said on Facebook.

Sim questioned why some were out to split Malaysians by fanning racial and religious sentiments. He said the people were already suffering enough due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Why burn the country by playing up race and religion?" he asked, adding that he was deeply affected by the accusations against him.

"But I will not stop serving. I will continue to help everyone regardless of race and religion. This was my pledge when I was elected as an MP," he said.

Kamarul had previously targeted other DAP leaders for their faith.

In 2017, he lodged a police report against Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, accusing her of proselytisation, for talking about her religion in her biography. - mk

Why doesn't Kamarul Zaman Yusoff help the people instead of giving criticism. Most people in unfortunate circumstances would appreciate help from any generous party instead of being told to be partial to any one group or religion. - Anon 2

When Ebit Lew helps non-Muslim, he is a hero... when Sim helps Malays, he is an evangelist.... apa lah punya logic..The truth may be the other way round.., Ebit is known to have converted an entire village in Sabah.. - WhiteDove9449

Just a few days ago, a secondary school headmaster segregated sports by race. Today this senior lecturer of a public university calls out helping a desperate family thrown out on the streets with their belongings as christian evangelism. Is this what their religion taught them to be true Muslims. These are educationists supposedly teaching virtues to young minds. How many more of such educators are out there. Unfortunately we do not see much protest, if any, from their own people. Using this logic, then the government should segregate taxes paid according to muslims and non-muslims and only use it for helping people of that faith. This is what Kamarul is saying in essence. - Dr.Raman Letchumanan

Sim, just continue your good deeds...ignore this SICKMAN , he is trying to get our beloved country torn apart. Wonder , how can he still lecture in his University??? - Makchik Kiar

3-time election loser as deputy minister? 

An insult to voters...

When a person loses his deposit in three state and parliamentary elections but ends up being appointed as a deputy minister, we can safely assume that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark” so to speak. I hope readers will not construe this as a personal attack: the whole process of Guan Dee Koh Hoi’s appointment has nothing to do with him or his character, but shows how low government leaders continue to stoop so that they stay in power.

Guan Dee, who is secretary-general of Sabah’s Party Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR), was appointed as deputy minister for tourism, arts and culture on April 16 after being appointed a senator. He stood for election to the Sabah state assembly in 2004 and 2008, and for a parliamentary seat in 2013. Each time, he contested under a different party ticket. Each time he fared miserably. His last outing in 2013 was the most pathetic: he obtained a mere 409 votes or 1.6% of the total votes cast in the parliamentary constituency of Beaufort in Sabah.

One can’t be wrong to assume that such candidates have been totally rejected by the people, whose votes are a strong signal that they don’t want this kind of politician to make laws that run our lives. By bringing politicians into the government through the “backdoor” via the senate, the politicians of the ruling Perikatan Nasional don’t seem to care how desperate they appear to be.

Guan Dee’s party STAR, led by Jeffrey Kitingan, holds six key seats in the Sabah assembly – if the party pulls out of the PN-led Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition, the Sabah government could collapse.

Muhyiddin Yassin’s coalition is in such a fragile position at the federal and state levels that it seemingly accepts without question anyone nominated by component parties to hold office, just not to rock the boat. Such desperation is damaging and probably that is why we have such a weak government, and lack of talent.

It is ironic that the PN-led government has been described by some critics, including Umno leaders, as a failed government when it appears that it is Umno that is keeping the coalition in power. - K. Parkaran,fmt

Asal Cek Mau Pi Sekolah...

200 buah laptop sudah sampai.Hati terasa amat gembira. Pesanan ini sebenarnya dah buat awal tapi tersekat kerana isu kekurangan komponen global. Ada kawan-kawan yang nasihat saya stop projek ini memandangkan sekolah sudah buka. Sebab nak kutip dana beli laptop bukan mudah, perbelanjaan ofis sendiri pun sudah nak habis. 

Tapi terkenang nasib anak-anak yang tak mampu untuk beli laptop nak belajar, saya buat keputusan teruskan projek Asal Cek Mau Pi Sekolah. Laptop yang kerajaan janjikan pun tak sampai-sampai, kini sudah masuk bulan April. Syukur sekurang-kurangnya di Bukit Mertajam, kita agihkan 500 buah laptop dan tablet setakat ini. Susah sikit takpa, letih sikit takpa. Asal Cek Mau Pi Sekolah, saya akan kerja keras untuk cari dana. 

Selagi ada PAS semua sumbangan MP DAP akan dikaitkan 

dengan agenda Kristianasi. Gitulah otak jumud geng lebai ni...

Kriteria nak pohon?

Anak-anak Bukit Mertajam (Tingkatan 5-Universiti/Kolej) yang bersungguh-sungguh nak belajar dari keluarga kurang berkemampuan (B40 & M40, bergantung kepada bilangan anak).

Saya tak akan tanya kamu kaum apa.

Saya tak akan tanya kamu agama apa.

Saya tak akan tanya kamu undi parti apa. 

Asal Cek Mau Pi Sekolah saya akan bantu.

Prices of fresh food increased 

KPDNHEP tidoqkah...

The government has admitted that the prices of fresh food in markets have increased due to inflation and other factors, including transport and animal feed costs.As such, the agriculture and food industries ministry is working with the domestic trade and consumer affairs ministry to manage the recent increase in prices for food items such as chicken, eggs and vegetables.

Deputy agriculture and food industries minister Che Abdullah Mat Nawi said they acknowledged that the people were facing price hikes in food items.He warned businessmen against profiteering or manipulating prices during this festive season. 

The Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP) has urged authorities to intervene to resolve the drastic increase in chicken prices that coincided with the beginning of Ramadan.

CAP education officer NV Subbarow said the price hike had burdened everyone and that stern action must be taken against chicken suppliers.

“Previously, chicken was sold at RM7.50 a kg but now it’s sold between RM9 to RM10 per kg with the excuse that feed costs and other expenses have increased,” he said in a statement.

“Some suppliers said the price hike was due to breeders having to sustain increases in imported feed prices of up to 40%. This has happened not only here but everywhere,” he said. - fmt

Now We Know Why 

Putrajaya Is Broke...

Two Ministers and their aides took separate jollies to Saudi Arabia, ostensibly to arrange Haj quotas.

1.What is the real reason behind Muhyiddin Yassin and his entourage’s visit to Saudi Arabia, in early March? We were told to negotiate haj quotas. Really?

2. He claimed that Putrajaya is pokai (broke). Is Zoom inaccessible in Putrajaya?

3. Is the real reason for the trip so that Muhyiddin can beg for another ‘princely donation’, just as the convicted criminal, Najib Abdul Razak, did prior to GE-13?

4. Now, isn’t it loverly for Muhyiddin and Mrs to be given a royal guided tour of the historical religious sites in Saudi Arabia? How many of our political elite wander off to the back streets of any Saudi city and observe the poor Saudis especially their women, living wretched lives, or the migrant workers who live equally wretched lives. All Malaysians see is the glitter and the towering hotels and palaces of the uber Saudi rich.

5. What will Malaysia have to give up in these dodgy deals? Will more wahabi schools be set up in Malaysia? Will the more extremist brand of Islam be sown? More wahabi indoctrination? We should not be dealing with an evil regime, which murders its journalist.

6. In early April, weeks after Muhyiddin returned from Saudi Arabia, the Minister for Religious Affairs and his entourage went on a jolly to Saudi Araiba. Did minister Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri and his entourage, think that he would save Malaysian taxpayers’ money by accepting the freebie offered by the Saudi NGO, which is funded by the Saudi government. Silly man!!

If DAP had accepted a free trip sponsored by an American NGO to visit an armaments factory in America, Zulkifli and his mates would be screaming, “Down with the Capitalist imperialists”….or if the DAP had accepted a fully sponsored visit to another armaments factory in the People’s Republic of China, he and his mates would be screaming, “Komunis. Komumis.”

7. Don’t these ministers have advisers?

8. The reason for rejecting expensive gifts is simple. Anyone who receives a gift is beholden to the giver. What will Malaysia have to trade in exchange for an increased haj quota?

9. Why is the cost of going on the haj so high? At RM23,000 per person, it is a hefty sum. Normally Malays, a husband and wife, visit Saudi as a couple and they will be paying a small fortune to perorm their pilgrimage. Zulfikli could tell us the breakdown of cost. How much of the RM23,000 goes to the Saudis? How much to any crony or politician helming Tabung Haji? Under its former chairman, Tabung Haji’s finances were not healthy.

10. Successive Malay ministers screw their own kind. Why? Because few Malays dare scrutinise the actions of their ministers and politicians. No wonder many Malay politicians aided and abetted by corrupt cronies, have got away with their crimes.

Many Malays are very naive. They think that a religious man, or someone in an institution that protects the Malay man’s right to observe one of the pillars of Islam, ie the pilgrimage, can do no wrong. The gullible Malay is under the impression, that these Tabung Haji employees will not steal. Silly dolts!! 

Look what the former chairman, the Baling MP, Abdul Azeez Abdul Raheem, did to Tabung Haji. So, I ask you. How many ministers does it take to change a light bulb in Saudi Arabia. The answer is none. They are too busy “Enjoy”!! - Mariam Mokhtar

Asia Sentinel makes some 

blistering comments about Malaysia...

Malaysia, which early on in the fight against the Covid-19 coronavirus was one of Asia’s leaders, has begun to slip back, with at least some vaccine procurement seemingly diffused among competing parties thought to be aligned with top politicians, ostensibly illegal shots for royalty, low signup rates due to fears of blood clots, and sharply rising new cases.

Malaysia isn’t alone. Cases are surging across much of Southeast Asia, for instance in Brunei, Cambodia, Thailand, and other countries although all are far behind Indonesia and Philippines. With nearly more than 9,000 cases in the past week, Malaysia’s weekly rise has hit 35 percent during that period, according to statistics compiled by the website Worldometer.

The Ministry of Health has been seeking to identify reasons behind low take-up rates and considering steps to boost vaccine registration, plagued by the fact that vaccine doses have been trickling in slowly. Continue reading Here and Here...      

It is obvious to everyone by now that things are not right. The fact is things are very wrong with our corona virus vaccine program. Firstly talk has been floating around for some time about dubious wheeling and dealing over the procurement of the vaccines. Exactly who are the parties involved in procuring the vaccines again? Is it the same bunch of orang kaya and orang ternama? We need transparency.

Do not gamble with peoples' lives over monetary profit. And more importantly it is taxpayers money. Our money. Our money that should have bought the corona virus vaccines by the planeloads and should have been administered to the public months ago. Duit bapak kita. Yet that is not happening. This idea of registration, prioritising people etc is not working. Granted the frontliners seriously need to be vaccinated first, including the school teachers. 

But other than that there is absolutely no need to register. Just do what other countries are doing. Set up vaccination booths by the roadsides, in the basement carparks of empty buildings, in the football stadiums, at open areas with easy drive in access and just vacinate everyone. No need to check orang tua, orang muda, lelaki, wanita, Malaysian citizens, non citizens etc.

(In Malaysia we are having this online registration and now we discover that the online registration numbers are low.   Can we have a racial breakdown on the registrations? I can assure you that there is a disproportionate racial 'slant' to the number of registered people so far. I can assure you the rural areas are the least registered. That is where the majority of voters are also located as well.) 

The corona virus infects living human beings. The virus does not care whether you are an old person, young person, Malaysian citizen or not a Malaysian citizen. As long as you are a human being and you are alive the virus can infect you and all living human beings can become potential virus carriers.

So you do not vaccinate people according to age groups, voters, non voters, other groups, citizens or non citizens, by racial groupings etc. As long as they are human beings, they are still alive and they live among us then those human beings must be vaccinated. That simply means ALL living human beings who live in this country.

I find it really unthinking that non citizens, especially foreign factory workers who have now been confirmed to be "high risk" are not being vaccinated.  What is the point of vaccinating the rest of us citizens when the 'high risk' factory workers are not being vaccinated? They will still be carrying the virus around. 

Yes I am certain the Malaysian taxpayer will not object to paying for the vaccination of foreign workers. They contribute to our economy tremendously and certainly we have a duty to ensure their protection against the virus. This is a pandemic. Please bring out your humanity for a short while. Dr Noor Hisham I really hope this was not your idea. Such thinking makes a fool of your medical school teachers. 

All the other countries in the world are doing the vaccination in an almost identical fashion - people just drive up or walk into a vaccination area, show some type of identification (like our MyKad) for tracking purposes and they get vaccinated. There is no need for any registration.  - Syed Akbar Ali

Court grants Teresa Kok's bankruptcy

 order against JMM president...

The High Court has granted a bankruptcy order against Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) president Azwanddin Hamzah following his failure to settle payments owed to Seputeh MP Teresa Kok.

In a statement issued today, Kok said she had initiated bankruptcy proceedings against Azwanddin (above) in relation to unpaid damages awarded to her linked to an out-of-court settlement reached on Aug 28, 2019.

Kok had filed a defamation suit against Azwanddin over his speech alleging that the former primary industries minister had a personal interest in a land dispute that led to the November 2018 riot at the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple at Seafield in USJ Subang Jaya, Selangor.

"The matter was settled out of court and a consent judgment was recorded before High Court judge Rohani Ismail.

"However, Azwanddin has failed to honour the judgment and has failed to make any payment of the settlement sum, to date," Kok said.

The bankruptcy order dated March 29 was signed by senior assistant registrar Nurul Izzah Shaharuddin.

In October 2019, Azwanddin apologised to Kok for alleging that she was related to the owners of real estate company One City Development, the company in a dispute with the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple.

Azwanddin also said he would pay RM130,000 to Kok as part of the settlement agreement. - mk

In future, use your brain (if you have any) to think before you speak. You cannot expect to slander without facts and get away from it. Let this be a painful lesson for you to repent. - OCT

Dear Azwanddin, why don't you start a crowd funding , like the "Lim Guan Eng's Defence Fund "? Surely, all your supporters will donate the money to pay off Teresa Kok. - Shibboleth

MP DAP hidupkan bulan Ramadan dengan amal jariah...

MP DAP dengan si mamat rider food Panda...

 

Saya ditemukan dengan seorang rider food panda yang menginsafkan saya tentang nilai sebuah kehidupan.Adik Mohamad mengayuh basikal meredah hujan dan panas demi sesuap nasi, walaupun ketika berpuasa.Apabila saya bertanya kepadanya, mengapa dia berbasikal dan tidak menunggang motorsikal seperti yang lain; dia jawab, dia tidak ada motorsikal. Basikal pun dipinjam daripada kawan, itupun seat dia dan banyak yang dah rosak. Tapi demi mencari rezeki, dia redha. 

Adik Mohamad berusia 22 tahun, merantau jauh dari Kelantan ke Pulau Pinang untuk bekerja. Keluarganya tidak kaya tapi mementingkan pendidikan. Ada 10 orang adik beradik. Ayahnya seorang guru agama. Dia sendiri lulusan diploma kejuruteraan Poli, dengan keputusan cemerlang.Tapi setakat ini gajinya hanya RM500 sebulan, nak makan pun tak cukup, sewa bilik dia tak bayar, atas ehsan kawannya. Adik Mohamad tidak merungut, malah bersyukur dengan peluang yang ada. 

Sebaliknya lepas kerja setiap hari, dia pinjam basikal kawan untuk jadi rider food panda. Lepas kerja, rehat satu jam, pi kayuh sampai 11 malam. Dapat RM20-30 sehari, cukup makan beberapa kali. Ada kala, makan nasi lemak tiap-tiap hari sebab nak jimat duit. Saya tengok kedua-dua belah tangannya pun sudah terbakar dek terik matahari. Mata masuk habuk mendengar kisah adik Mohamad. 

Walaupun saya hormat Tun Dr Mahathir, saya dari dulu lagi tak setuju dengan stereotype Tun yang kata Cina kaya, Melayu malas. Ramai Cina yang bergelut demi mencari makan, ramai anak Melayu seperti adik Mohamad yang rajin berusaha demi kehidupan. Bila saya tanya adik Mohamad apa pertolongan yang diperlukan, dia segan nak jawab. Beginilah, saya tak pandai hal agama, tapi kawan-kawan ajar saya bulan Ramadan ini banyak berkat. Saya mohon berkat Ramadan, saya belikan adik Mohamad sebiji motor. Asalnya adik Mohamad macam tak percaya. 

Tapi bila saya bawa ke kedai motor kat Bukit Mertajam, dia terus terharu. Kita beli Honda. Saya bayar cash. Kalau orang kecam saya guna peruntukan kerajaan beli motor, saya nak habaq saya tak ada peruntukan nak guna. Saya sekarang Ahli Parlimen pembangkang. Ini saya beli guna wang gaji saya sendiri. RM4,500 termasuk road tax, insurans, settle penuh, minyak isi full tank, adik Mohamad boleh terus bawa motor ini tak payah bimbang. 

Bolehlah adik naik motor ke kerja (sekarang dia tumpang motor kawan) dan jika jadi rider, tak payah susah susah kayuh basikal. Usah risau lagi hujung Ramadan macam mana nak balik Kelantan jumpa mak ayah - kuda sudah ada. 

Kami juga pergi farmasi beli krim aloe vera dan krim sunblock. Saya peringat adik Mohamad agar wajib sapu krim setiap kali sebelum keluar buat food panda. Kita perlu jaga kesihatan diri. Kalau jatuh sakit, mak ayah juga yang akan bimbang. Hari ini Ramadan pertama, saya belajar satu benda yang penting. Kita perlu banyak-banyak bersabar dalam menempuh cabaran hidup. 

Jangan putus asa walau susah macam mana sekalipun, dongipap kipidap! Setiap perkara ada hikmahnya, Tuhan tidak pernah mengabaikan kita. Adik Mohamad telah menginsafkan saya tentang perkara ini. Iftar pertama tahun ini, saya buka puasa bersama adik Mohamad.Walaupun berjauhan dari keluarga dan terpaksa bekerja keras mencari rezeki, saya doakan Ramadan ini akan menjadi Ramadan yang lebih bermakna buat dirinya. -  Steven Sim Chee Keong,MP Bukit Mertajam

Ini baru YB yang bekerja, Menteri lain asyik tidoq...Syabas YB!!!

The fall of Pakatan Harapan govt...

Earlier, on Jan 2, 2020, sensing that the temperature was worryingly high, Lim Kit Siang met PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and expressed DAP’s support for him to be prime minister.

However, Kit Siang also advised him not to push for the May date – two years of Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s premiership as the date for handover. There was never an agreement to commit to any date.

Kit Siang, instead, asked Anwar to create conditions for a successful transition after the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit. A smooth transition would ensure that Mahathir’s camp would not feel left out in the government after he leaves.

As January progressed, more and more leading PKR figures beyond the usual suspects of Hassan Karim and Abdullah Sani were pushing for the May transition date.

Those in Mahathir’s camp admitted that they could tolerate Hassan and Abdullah, accepting Anwar’s explanation that he wasn’t able to control them. But when more of Anwar’s close aides came forward to push for the specific date in May, the more ‘evidence’ it gave the plotters to blame Anwar’s putsch, legitimising their ‘counter-coup’ of a Malay-government with 130 MPs.

The air was tense, and one could eerily feel that something would happen. Anwar met Mahathir on Feb 13 and declared that all was good.

We were briefed that Mahathir had not objected to the idea of transition in his meeting with Anwar. I later hosted a lunch for majlis setiausaha on Feb 18 when my old Canberra contemporary, Bersatu’s Mohd Radzi Md Jidin, asked a seemingly innocent question: “Actually, what are the terms of reference of majlis setiausaha?” Somehow his question lingered on my mind. A presidential council meeting was scheduled at 8.30pm on Feb 21.

In hindsight, we knew that the core leadership of Bersatu was summoned by Muhyiddin Yassin for an emergency meeting in the afternoon, and they were told that Anwar, DAP and Amanah would force Mahathir to resign immediately at the presidential council meeting. But there was never such intention nor plan.

At the meeting proper, Azmin Ali and his staunch supporter Zuraida Kamaruddin argued that Mahathir should serve the full term, an outright break with Anwar which shocked those who were present. For a moment, the meeting was deadlocked on whether to set a date for transition. Marzuki Yahya, Bersatu’s then secretary-general who was privy to the discussion in the afternoon, told the meeting if it decided to force the hand of Mahathir, Bersatu would react.

Sensing the danger, Anwar quickly interjected and said that he would leave the date of transition to Mahathir. To Mahathir, he had balanced both sides and confirmed that there would be a transition to Anwar albeit without a date specified. But as the first salvo had already been fired, nothing could hold the forces anymore. I flew to Johor with Guan Eng the next day, and he remarked that “the clock is ticking”.

Essentially, Muhyiddin had aligned with the Azmin-Hamzah (Zainuddin)-Hishammuddin (Hussein) plotters when they met in London. Plans were hatched, regardless of Mahathir’s inclinations.

The coup was launched in the name of saving Mahathir from Anwar’s threat but in effect, to put in place the 2016 idea of a Muhyiddin-Azmin leadership. Mahathir probably thought that he could hold back everyone by balancing through ‘making everybody unhappy’.

By February 2020, with Umno’s full number of 39 MPs on board, their plan was to kick out Anwar’s group in PKR, DAP and Amanah. The coup plotters assumed that Shafie Apdal’s Warisan and Mahathir would be supportive, and the new Sheraton coup government would govern with at least 125, if not 130 seats.

Upon failing to hold back Bersatu’s attempt to work with Umno on Feb 23 at the Bersatu central committee meeting, Mahathir resigned on Feb 24 morning and became an interim prime minister. The Pakatan Harapan cabinet was dismissed in the evening.

On Feb 25, Mahathir informed Anwar, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and Guan Eng that he would be forming a unity government in which he would choose ministers from all parties, not bound by the leadership of any parties. Instead, Guan Eng pleaded with him to continue as Harapan’s prime minister and to attend the coalition’s presidential council meeting that evening. He, however, declined.

Anwar informed the council that he had a high chance to secure the votes from Sarawak’s GPS as he was negotiating with them. Also, he claimed that his palace contacts informed him that the palace would likely accept a minority government.

As Mahathir was not interested in becoming Harapan’s prime minister anymore, DAP and Amanah had to back Anwar as prime minister at the palace on Feb 26. The Johor Harapan government fell the next day. Kit Siang and I were travelling to Johor Bahru from Kuala Lumpur to meet our elected reps.

As we were nearing Yong Peng, Guan Eng called and summoned us to return to Kuala Lumpur, as Dewan Rakyat speaker Mohamad Ariff Yusoff rejected interim prime minister Mahathir’s application to hold a special sitting on March 2 due to the failure to fulfil the august house rules.

Kit Siang joked that even after 55 years in frontline politics, there were still new things that he experienced for the first time just like everyone else.

At 4pm on Feb 28, the palace announced that the results of the signing of statutory declarations in front of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong were not conclusive. The palace would wait for party chiefs to submit their numbers the following day.

Anthony Loke worked very hard to persuade Anwar to meet Mahathir to form a new Harapan government. Anwar, however, stormed off  Mahathir’s house after nearly three hours of negotiations, mostly through intermediaries, apart from the first 20 minutes which saw both men arguing with each other.

Mahathir was seated in the dining room while Anwar and the rest of us in the living room. Mahathir’s daughter Marina, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman and Loke were in and out between the two rooms.

The final offer was to reinstate the original cabinet with Wan Azizah as deputy prime minister. Anwar was upset and left.

Guan Eng asked Mahathir not to reappoint him as finance minister to give way to Anwar to join the cabinet, but the idea was rejected.

We then returned to Eastin Hotel in Petaling Jaya to meet Anwar to convince him that Muhyiddin would likely become prime minister the next day if we failed to reach a compromise.

We woke Kit Siang up from his nap in his Petaling Jaya home and brought him to the meeting. Anwar has respect for Kit Siang.

As Kit Siang said “let’s live to fight another day!”, Anwar relented and agreed to the proposal of a second Mahathir-Azizah government as a way out.

The last effort by Kit Siang and others failed to save the Harapan government. Muhyiddin was announced as prime minister at 4pm on Feb 29, 2020 - exactly four years after Mahathir quit Umno in 2016 - and he was sworn in on March 1, 2020. - Liew Chin Tong,mk
