I believe

I'm reposting Anas's Zubedy's "I Believe".....

Dear Brother and Sister Malaysians,

I believe…

‘Until we give NO FREE RIDE to every candidate, no matter which party they may represent, we cannot stand proud and say "WE, THE RAKYAT, ARE IN CHARGE”.’

I believe that a single voter can make a difference. You and I, we are powerful!

I believe that we, the rakyat, are in charge. I believe that our votes and actions count for everything.

I believe that as we, the rakyat, move for the good of the nation, weare changing our nation for the better. I believe that we the rakyat are more powerful than all the party machineries put together.

I believe we can win when we do the right thing. I believe that God is with us when we are genuine, truthful and have faith in Him. I believe.

I am looking for fellow believers.

I am writing to you as a fellow Malaysian, a fellow believer with a heart for Malaysia. Let’s find ways as rakyat to work towards changing Malaysians and Malaysian politics for the better - with love, care and mindfulness; not with anger and hatred.

It is our collective responsibility to ensure we improve the quality of our lawmakers, regardless which party they are from. We are the real third force. This moment in time calls us as rakyat to act to make sure we get only our best people to represent us in parliament. When we get the best, it does not matter which party they are from.

If we grant the mandate for unfit Malaysians to become our leaders, we are directly responsible for letting our nation fall to neglect. So let’s work. Let’s work to make sure only the smartest, uncorrupted, hardworking, sound and healthy candidates are elected.

I need to convince you that when we believe, we can make a difference…

This is what we can do to ensure we have good leaders after the next elections:

1. Make an appointment with the potential candidates for your voting area and go meet with them. Go individually, or better still gather a few friends/family from the same voting area and go together.

2. Before you meet them, make sure you have decided what you want to ask from them. List down your wishes. Remember to use your Reason, Conscience and the Constitution as a guide. For an example, go tohttp://www.letusaddvalue.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-letter-to-nurul-izzah.html

3. When meeting your potential candidates:

Things to bring

Your wish list from your MPs/ADUNs

A video recording device (your phone camera will be good enough)

What to do:

Choose to be respectful. Tell them you have a list of what you look for when deciding which leader to vote. Tell them that it will help you decide how to vote if they promise to keep this ‘halal contract’ between you, a rakyat, and your political representative.

Be clear: let them know that regardless of your political inclination, you will choose whoever is better at representing the rakyat. If anything, you want to be guided only by Reason, Conscience and the Constitution.

Show them your wish-list and ask them to choose which of the requests they agree with. The more they agree with, the more likely you will vote them.

Record a video of their clearly stated promise to keep to these wishes. Request that they say,

‘I, _________, if elected as an MP/ADUN, promise to (items on the list which they agree with)’.

4. This is how we can cause the ripple effect:

Once you have the recording, spread the news - post it up to your Facebook and link it to your Twitter, blogs, and other social media platforms. As a way to share it with other like-minded Malaysians, link the video back tohttp://www.facebook.com/pages/No-Free-Rides/254891967906392

5. This ‘halal contract’ is your lasting proof and accountability check. If, at any time after elected, your MP/ADUN fails to keep his promise, you can follow up with this proof to remind him, and the rest of the nation, of his/her promises.

One rakyat in each voting area is all it really takes. You can be that person.

When, because of our actions, we make this country better, one day we will look back and know that the reason we made a difference was because we believed.

I believe. Do you?

I'm back...I think

My apologies to my readers for keeping quiet for quite some time. I have started a new job elsewhere and yes, I have been extremely busy....and stressed. I've got my linchen synflex to prove the stress that manifested in skin rash form if anybody were to doubt what I had just said.

Nevertheless, I'm determined to start writing again. It may not be as frequent...but I'll try.

Thank you for the e mails and the kind words and encouragement for me to continue with this blog.

I shall be back....till then...I think I'll go tend to my rash first :-)

To all those who thinks Hudud Law is cool....

I dedicate this post to those, especially women (especially women from the COWs species), who is in favor of Islamic Hudud law. We are going to die soon at some point of our lives. Ask yourselves, is this the Malaysia that we are going to let our children and their children inherit from us? Ask yourselves in all honesty before you sign up ergo convict the future generation to this so called God's law, do you understand enough of what constitutes "hudud" and is it really God's law?

Ask yourselves, if you daughters, God forbid, gets raped, then charged and jailed simply because she cannot come up with 4 witnesses to prove her innocence, can that ever be God's law? Is this justice? Do not proclaim that "God is fair" then turn around and claim a law from Him that proves He is not.

Ask yourselves again.. are you living right? Is the path you've taken, shoved down to you since birth without choice is the actual path Allah had prescribed? Have you at least once, read the message of God Himself, the Quran, on your own instead of trusting what information attributed to God, to know the difference between His actual words and the words created by humans and attributed to Him so that some kind of control can be established. You should, because at the end of the day, non of those people who proclaim authority of Islam have any responsibility of answering FOR you. That responsibility is ON yourself.

[17:14] "Read thine record: Sufficient is your soul this day to make out an account against you."

[17:15] Who received guidance, received it for his own benefit: who go astray does so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger.

I am not going to spoil my otherwise serene morning even further, after reading about this unfortunate woman from Afghanistan, so I will leave you these videos for your listening displeasure...

Allah had given us brains for a purpose, and minimizing it's usage just so we get a better second hand value when we sell it for organ transplant, however, does not apply to human organs....

[10:100] No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He will place a wrath on those who do not reason.

This was what I saw on television today morning...just enough to cause my breakfast embark into the riot that of middle east today...

http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/23/world/meast/afghan-rape-victim/?hpt=ias_c1

Below is a video of which the rape victim was interviewed. Imagine if this is your own kin. It's bad enough to find at least ONE witness to a rape case, and these mule-lahs wants four....what is it about mule-lahs and the number 4? Four wives four rape witnesses..on all fours would probably be haram if wrong hole targeted though...don't say I did not warn you...

Last but not least, read these posts for further understanding of hudud law:

1. Who-doed from dont know where

2. A Malaysian legal perspective of hudud law implementation written by Art Harun in
Anti-apostasy law – the legal dynamics

One word about "apostasy". Well, maybe a few....I think the people who came out with this was probably bored having their heads swimming in their own feces whilst their heads were were having a field trip high up in their own asses. They are spending waaaaay too much time there it's no wonder if you walk into the Religious department for any work to get done, most of them are hardly there. They are almost always out on some kind of courses...probably intercourse to accommodate for the propagate forth Islamist agenda I reckon...but, that's just my speculation.

I don't know which part of the "no compulsion" these guys have trouble registering in those sad excuse of a human brain...

[2:256] Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah hears and knows all things.

Unless they have invented gadgets like "Believe meter" or "Iman detector", then they will know if a person believes or not...even then, they need to come up with a more advanced gadget to come up with a prophecy that that particular person will remain not believing until he dies. Then this is when things get more complicated and they have to invent a gadget that can tell them when a person is going to die. Nope, calculating life span from the point of MID-life crisis have proven to fail big time rendering mid life crisis a misnomer.

But observing the state of the Muslims all around the world today, I reckon the only thing we can ever invent would be massive output of mutual farts from our fart-was, but then I would best stop here because I have digressed.

Man in the Mirror....

I love George carlin. He had this talent of delivering deep and meaningful messages (well deep to those who have the capability and desire to ponder upon them), in a package of hilarious presentation. Then again, he was a stand up comedian. Tough job if you ask me. I think today, the only people who can actually make you ROFLOL (that's cyber language for "Roll onto floor laughing out loud" for those of you born in BD, before dinosour, and baffled) would be the politicians.

But listen to this one. Are the politicians comedian by choice, or by chance, or perhaps both? I mean, come to think of it, WE put them there via our democrasy process. Perhaps it is us , the rakyat who deserve to be the jokers who put the politically inclined bigger jokers where they are today to give us mother of all entertainment.

So if we, the rakyat are the people responsible for today's politicians, let's take a closer look at us.

Michael Jackson sang "Man in the Mirror" and people sang along and dance along. But how many actually understood his simple message. Most of us don't even have time except for a quick glance in the mirror on the way to exit through the door in our daily rush to work, just enough time to check whether there is no food particles stuck in our teeths and hairs from sleeping on the dining table due to extreme exhaustion from our daily routine. (well, this could happen especially to career mothers with 4 children for example).

Take a look at how we drive on the road for instance. Take a look at how we go about in our daily dealings with the people around us. Ponder earnestly on these. Ask ourselves this question and answer it sincerely and honestly, "How do I see myself in the mirror?". Am I the one bribing the authorities, the politicians et al, just to get my project executed so that I can make more money to bribe more people along the way to making myself rich? Am I the one who, although did not do something selfish like that , but keeps reticent when I encounter such things happening within the family or to the people I know? Am I the one who likes to put down nasty comments on the blogs and facebook , joining the choir of condemnation of say bribary issues yet feels very happy when I get as many hampers during the celebrative seasons? Am I giving those opinion based on what I think is the right thing or is it because it is the right thing for me and my interest? Do I support and vote for the politicians because they can get the job done right and clean, or do I support and vote for them because again, they take care of my personal interest?

Ever heard of the "Indian Crab Story"? One of my closest Indian buddy use to narrate this to me sometime back when we had the time to sit around after work and enjoy a cup of teh tarik and the complimentary time to bitch about the world. Crabs get on top of each other to surface from the gutter and in the end, the pile of struggling crabs falter in totality. Doesn't this sound familiar? Perhaps Darwin got sidetracked with the amount of hair monkeys have and thought humans evolved (if ever at all) from them. Perhaps Darwin is half right. Perhaps he overlooked that some humans may have evolved from crabs. I mean, some of us are incapable of walking in a straight path yet tells others to do so. And then there's that stepping on each others' heads to get somewhere. Ponder on this.

In the West, people help each other and together they progressed. Their culture is to nurture one another (with the exception of America's Capitalism if I may say so...now look at them). "Development" meant not just mere materialism, but also the development of human as a whole. In Malaysia for instance, our development is mostly covered in the aspect of materialism, and human development is not as a whole, but as a hole...a foetid sinkhole sometimes. I mean, we look at Saifool's case as a hole right? And what a busy hole it is. In short, we have neglected human development and today, cause and effect had taken it's toll. Majority, no longer do the right thing, but the right thing for them to gain personal interest.

So the next time you want to critisize the politicians, as a whole or hole, do me this favor. Stand in front of a mirror for 10 minutes, look at yourself in reflection and ask yourself, "Do I like what is staring back at me?"
