Is this how you commit murder and get away with it?

BREAKING NEWS 10AM Nine months after the death of A Kugan in police custody, one policeman V Navindran was charged today at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court with causing hurt to the 23-year-old detainee.

He claimed trial to two counts of causing hurt in trying to extract a confession. He is charged under Section 331 of the Penal Code.Sessions judge Aslam Zainuddin fixed bail at RM10,000 for both charges. The case will be mentioned on Nov 5.

Navindran, wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt and blue denim jeans, arrived in court about 9.25am.

Attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail in a press statement yesterday said Navindran will be charged under Section 331 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing grievous hurt to extort confession from the deceased and alternatively Section 330 for voluntarily causing hurt to extort a confession from the deceased.

Abdul Gani also took pains to explain why Navindran could not be charged for murder but a lesser charge of causing hurt."There is no evidence that the deceased suffered an instant death. Instead, the deceased died four days after the alleged beating. Therefore, there was a wide gap in between and a charge of murder could not be preferred against the suspect.

The question then is... If Navindran was not responsible of Kugan's death, doesn't that make the PDRM responsible for Kugan's death?? After all Kugan was in police custody during that 4 days gap!

Shouldn't this constitute negligence on the part of the police for failing to take care of the welfare of Kugan while he was in their custody???

And is our AG saying that if the guy you beat up takes 4 days to die instead of dying on the spot, you don't have to be charge with MURDER?!?

What a lot of CRAP!
Taking about crap, I wonder how many Malaysian actually believe that only 1 Indian police officer was responsible for the death of Kugan?!

Are the other 10 police officers? I wonder what race the other 10 officer belongs to?

SCREW ability, integrity or capability! As long as we win!!

Who cares if the guy is an old man!
Who cares if he is tainted with corruption!
Who cares if he has the caliber or the energy to serve the people in the area!

As long as he is popular and can guarantee a win!!
Earlier the SUN reported that...
Muhyiddin said they had gone on the ground to assess the people's feeling on the BN candidate and "it looks like they wanted Isa".

He said Isa's candidacy was decided based on popular demand, and he believed that it was the right decision.

Hishammuddin also called Isa the “people’s candidate,” in an acknowledgement to polls which suggest the former Umno vice-president was very popular in Bagan Pinang despite being tainted by his corrupt past.

Is UMNO treating this by-election as a popularity contest ah?
If I am hearing this correctly from our DPM... UMNO chooses its candidates base on their popularity and not on the quality of the candidate, or how clean, worthy, integrity or the candidate's ability?!?

Wah like that I also can lah! Just bribe the majority group in the area with contracts and other goodies and become popular with them lah!

Opps! Isn't that what got Isa sack from UMNO in the first place?!?

Don't be surprise if this becomes his by-election campaign tactics! (i.e. bribe the voters there with the promise of goodies and development!)

The votes in Bagan Pinang should ask the question...

Why does it take the death of their former state rep before UMNO will come in to help them? What about before this by-election? How much attention did UMNO gave to them?

Also the voters in BP should ask if Isa is really the "people's choice" or is he "UMNO's people choice"! Would they really benefit from his election or will he only look out for his UMNO's gang!

Umno leaders will argue that Isa has already paid the price for being found guilty of greasing the palms of party delegates in the Umno elections five years ago. They will note that he has suffered enough as a political leper and point out that he took his punishment without much protest.

Others may even put a different spin on the second coming of Isa by saying that it shows what a forgiving political party Umno is.

BUT THE QUESTION IS, HAS DATUK ISA SAMAD TRUELY REPENTED OF HIS SINS?

What he said in the Sun newspaper may shead some light on this matter.

When told of the likely scenario of the opposition having a field day bringing up his tainted past, Isa said: "I did not commit a crime. I'm not a criminal. I just did not follow party election ethics and I was punished for that."

Just did not follow party election ethics?!?

The man calls coruption, "not following party election ethics!"

I really hope the people in Bagan Pinang are not as dumb as he is!!

The End of B End! - Isa! BN's Candidate for Bagan Pinang

For the 2nd time in a row, UMNO chooses a candidate tainted with corruption.
At Permatang Pasir by-election, they chose Rohaizat Othman a disbarred lawyer (for misusing clients’ funds).

One would think that it would be difficult to find someone more unworthy than a disbarred lawyer, but trust those UMNO folks, to scrounge even lower to find someone even worse than that.
Now for the Bagan Pinang by-election, they choose Tan Sri Isa Mohd Samad who was suspended by UMNO’s very own disciplinary board for money politics

In Isa Samad UMNO has someone who had been expelled from the party for “money politics,” the euphemism for corruption. Knowing UMNO’s shady ethics, to be expelled for that must take some doing.

And the most amazing thing is that UMNO’s members from that branch wanted only Isa and even threatened to boycott the by-election if UMNO chose another candidate. The fact the Bagan Pinang’s UMNO branch demanded for Isa’s selection only reflects the kind of people who are members there.

An online news splash the news of banners that was placed at several places where UMNO members claims that they will boycott the election if Isa was not chosen. Despite the denial of UMNO Teluk Kemang in putting up the banner, it is quite clear that it was put up at the 11th hour after Muhyuddin said that there is another candidate that UMNO Teluk Kemang had overlooked. It is obvious that the banner was put up in a timely manner to pressurized UMNO national leadership.

It is indeed sad that the members has chosen to proposed and demand a particular candidate instead of demanding that only the truly clean and trustworthy candidate will contest. Indirectly UMNO Teluk Kemang support corruption. Who knows maybe they had benefitted in some way or other previously and expected the same after the election?

But having tasted so many defeats, Najib will do almost anything to win one by-election in Peninsular Malaysia. This include picking a man tainted with corruption and has nothing more to offer the state after being in power (as Mentri Besar) for over 24 years. If he had any talent or innovative ideas, that should have been obvious during all those years.

At this stage of his careers, he should be seeking out and mentoring the next generation of leaders, not desperately hogging the stage.

Only last week Muhyiddin was at pains to point out that he was intent on seeking fresh talent, especially after the Bagan Pinang branch folks brazenly declared that Isa was their only choice.

But Najib must be so desperate to win a by-election, that he bowed to pressure and chose a tainted man like Isa.

This selection of Isa is the consequence of many years of handouts in which UMNO gives out contracts to their members. And Isa is popular not because he is a quality intelligent leader, but a leader who knows how to manipulate the system to pass contracts to the relevant people.

All the noise from Najib that he wants transparency and accountability in his government is mere empty words and promises. By right, UMNO should discipline their members at Bagan Pinang for even threatening to boycott the election, but instead he chose the easy path for short-term gain.

The earlier rhetoric about UMNO having “to change or be changed” is now proven to be nothing more than just “cock talk,” to put it in the local vernacular. In picking Isa, it is clear that UMNO does not have the will to change and has abandon their commitment to reform itself.

It is very unlikely that Pakatan will win this seat as it is traditionally an UMNO seat. So, I can imagine that Najib craves the right to brag after UMNO wins (assuming they do), to the entire Malaysia. After all, history has shown how UMNO brags that the people support them, and how the opposition is rejected at every by-election they won.

UMNO is the cancer of this country, Malaysians must open their eyes to see that they cannot go on being governed by people who subscribe to corruption as a normal practice!!

More great insights by RPK!

F1 part of 1 Malaysia plan!?

I wonder how this F1 comes into Najib's 1 Malaysia plan??

Or did he think just because that there is the No.1 there so he must get Malaysia and force all the top companies to join in his new pet project as well?!?

In a time when big companies like BMW have pulled out of F1 due financial constrain, is Malaysia having that much money that it can afford to throw more money away??

1st we got the PKFZ scandal which cost tax-payers hundreds of millions!

Then recently we threw away over BILLIONS of Ringgit on 2 submarine and some helicopters!

Then Maybank posted an April-June net loss of 1.1 billion ringgit compared with a profit of RM703.2 million a year ago.

(from the stupid 24hour take over)

Now Najib wants to be the first country to own an F1 Team!

The USA, being the richest nation never had one. China is richer than Malaysia and don't have one. Australia is richer than Malaysia and don't have a team. Norway is richer than Malaysia and don't have one. Germany produces many good F1 drivers and don't have a German team now that BMW had withdrawn.

Malaysia can't even afford to maintain a decent LRT service yet the govt are willing to throw millions into an F1 Team!

(I scan through the internet and put together some comments together that is worth reading on this issue!)

Cost of an F1 Team!

In March, 2007 F1 Racing published its annual estimates of spending by Formula One teams.

Toyota $418.5 million, Ferrari $406.5 m, McLaren $402 m, Honda $380.5 m, BMW Sauber $355 m, Renault $324 m, Red Bull $252 m, Williams $195.5 m, Midland F1/Spyker-MF1 $120 m, Toro Rosso $75 m, and Super Aguri $57 million.

Engines alone can cost a whopping USD15mill/season.

R&D and Start Up cost is not included!!!

Team 1Malaysia F1 is supposedly sponsored by the big companies and TDC.

In Malaysia, big companies are either GLCs or linked to them. The TDC is government-run. So how can we say for sure that tax payer money don't get channelled to these. Surely companies like Air Asia and Naza won't dare to venture into such a risky venture without some financial backing. They would not dare risk their shareholders stake and working capital. So who will eventually bare the cost when/if the team make massive losses?!

What about the effect of forcing companies like Air Asia and Naza to sponsor this project?

Every sen spent goes somewhere - a basic principle of accounting. Advertising cost normally goes into the cost of sales i.e. the price that you sell to the customer. So if the ad cost go up, the cost of sales go up. So if Naza and Air Asia needs to maintain their profit margin, their cost of sales will go up. Meaning, the spare parts, the car service, new car price all will go up. For Air Asia, their ticket cost will go up. Or if they want to maintain the same cost of sales, then the cost of goods sold or sales/admin cost go down. So cheaper spare parts (lower quality), poorer service levels and cars with less options or lower quality finishing. For Air Asia, maybe Tune Hotels no longer have communal toilets inside. The guests have to go to public toilets or do it in the drains outside. Maybe, to board an AirAsia plane, you checkin at the fence along the tarmac and walk across the tarmac to the plane. Save the LCCT terminal charges.

Malaysian Maintenance and Management?

According to theStar 1 Malaysia F1 team will be manage by former Renault technical director Mike Gascoyne. While I respect the man I wonder will he get inteference from all the YB and VIP ini Malaysia!

Only time will tell or is he going to end up the same way as foreigners brought in to our badminton, hockey and other sports teams

Then will the lack-of-maintenance syndrome which Malaysia is so famous for be a plague to this team? Lets hope the car does not fall apart during the race! Can you imagine a front wing dropping off by itself?

Putting Malaysia on the Map!??

Our PM said that...

“This is a meaningful development and I hope that it will further raise our country’s profile on the world stage.”

Oh! I am sure this will raise our country's profile.... but will it raise our profile for the better or worst?

If we keep losing and the M'sian F1 team is not there to just make up the numbers, won't we become and embarrassment to the world?

Have we forgotten the embarrassment we felt when Malaysia hosted its first F1 race in 1999 at the Sepang F1 Circuit and Alex Yoong was the first Malaysian to race in the championships in 2001 and 2002 for Minardi. It was a total flop!!

What will happen then to the wind tunnel and all the billions of equipment and logistics which had been invested in Sepang?

Don't we remember PKFZ the "white elephant"?

Am I being negetive!?

I know ppl will shoot me that I am too negative!

But with so many false starts in the past and failling to follow through all too often, can you blame me for being so negative?? I am not saying that having a Malaysian F1 team is a bad thing, just that whether it is justifiable for us to have one??

I think the biggest question is still...

What is the relationship between 1Malaysia and the M'sian F1 team?

Is this the aspiration of the Malaysian rakyat??

Does the rakyat as 1 benefit from this project?

Don't we need the money to overcome the global crisis and make those fundamental changes. Eg. health, security, future development of our human resources, social programs. Can we guarantee (& be transparent) that such a venture will not degrade some of these programs that are sorely needed by the citizenry?

F1 can be enjoyed by those who can afford it but affordable healthcare, good security, future of our children etc, these should be something every rakyat be given!

I think the biggest joke is when Najib said that..

“This is where the cars will be designed, manufactured and tested. It will be ‘Made-in-Malaysia, by Malaysians’ and of course, the pit-stops will be run by Malay-sians,”

I died laughing! when I read this in the Star!

Our Proton cars are still made in Japan and we want to make Made-in-Malaysia F1 Cars!!

Why Anwar must go to Jail!

The simply is because Najib cannot afford for him not to. Let me explain!

As far back as I can remember, UMNO and BN have always had 1 main strategy and that tactic is basically to attack and to discredit the opposition. BN will use its main stream media to tell the rakyat that the opposition are incompetent and that they have no experience running the country. UMNO propaganda is to convince the rakyat that if the opposition rule the country, there will be chaos. They will further add that BN will rule the federal govt anyway and if you vote for them at least your area will get some development and projects heading your way. (If you want prove of this just look at how BN campaign in the last few by-election)

This strategy of theirs has not and will not change anytime soon! Why? This is basically because they have no better strategy. Which is easier to do right now?
Win back to hearts and trust of the rakyat? Or discredit the opposition so that the rakyat will feel that they have no better option?

UMNO and BN strategy is very clear! They are not concern about winning back the favour of the rakyat and frankly speaking, I think they don’t even care! So the easiest thing to do is to dishearten the rakyat and to make sure there is no viable alternative for the rakyat to choose (come the next GE).

The best way to do this is to break up the opposition’s coalition. Just take a look at their recently strategy. UMNO propaganda machinery (also known as MSM) will tell the Malays that DAP is controlling PAS and that they will lose their Bumiputera’s privileges if they support Pakatan Rakyat.

UMNO will then get its other BN’s component party to scare the non-Malays that if they support PKR, then PAS will be extremist and that the country will become and Islamic State with Hudud Laws. The ironic thing is that, while running this racist hate campaign, they (through their UMNO control newspaper) are accusing the opposition of stirring up racial and religious sensitivity!

Why are they doing this? It is obvious! They are trying to get supporters from DAP and PAS to fight each other and to break up PKR! UMNO believes that right now, what is holding PKR together is Anwar Ibrahim and Keadilan.

UMNO’s mentality is to take Anwar Ibrahim out of the picture with the hope that Keadillan will break apart. And once Keadillan are in disarray, so will PKR! And if PKR are in disarray, UMNO will tell the rakyat that, PKR are incapable of forming a viable government and better choose a strong and experience government so that the country can enjoy economic stability.

So what can we the normal rakyat do?
Well the first thing we must NOT do is to play into the hand of BN and UMNO! When the police do catch Anwar and throw him in jail, the rakyat must practice restrain. In fact in all the various provocation that UMNO is currently orchestrating, we must practice restrain. Here I must thank and comment the various Indian groups for their calm and restrain respond to the recent Cow Head incident. I think UMNO must have very frustrated that they did not get the response they wanted from the Indian community.

Why does UMNO want to create this tense situation?
It is simply because they need to scare the rakyat into believing that ISA is still useful today! They need a blanket reason to throw their political opponents into ISA and to tell the rakyat that it is the opposition that is causing the chaotic situation. Without chaos like May 13, it will be very hard to justify their actions. If there is a riot with bloodshed, then it is easier to scare the rakyat into believing that the cost of freedom of speech and assembly is a small price to pay for peace. Thus we must make sure that we do not over react to all of UMNO’s provocation!

The second thing we must do is to make sure we VOTE! This is the only way we can really voice our frustration and anger at the present government. And we must be resolute and vote smart! We must make sure no matter where the candidate is from; UMNO, MCA, MIC or even PBS. As long as they are from BN, we must make sure we do not vote for them in any by-election as well as the next GE. We must vote for the opposition at all cost. Even if PKR decide to up a Cow’s Head as their candidate, we must vote for them. We the rakyat must also be weary of “independent candidate” that the BN will plant in some areas to split the opposition’s vote. This has been a very effective strategy use by BN in the past. (The recent MIC AGM is prove of this.)

Not only that, we must make sure we give a full and convincing mandate to PAS, DAP and Keadilllan. This is because all Malaysians knows that, short of a convincing mandate from the rakyat, UMNO with its seemingly endless supply of money will use every dirty trick in the books to entice the various MPs and Assemblymen from PKR to jump ship. You need to look no further than Perak and Sabah for prove of this!

And so if you the rakyat are angry that cow head demonstrating racist can get an appointment with the Home Minister while peaceful demonstration with candles and roses are arrested immediately. If you the rakyat and dumbfounded for the various recent court rulings. If you are wondering why the two Perak frogs facing corruption charges is still being delayed till today?

If we Malaysian want to see the repeal of the ISA,
if we want to see reforms in the Judiciary and the Govt Institutions such as MCMC , MACC, PDRM,
If we want to see justice for RPK, Anwar, Kugan, P.I. Bala, Sujatha, Teoh Beng Hock, Elizabeth Wong,
if we want to see greater freedom of press and assembly,
if we want to see the people responsible for the Lingam case, PKFZ, Penan rape case brought to justice,
if we want to show our displeasure at how BN had robbed our democratic choice in Perak,
then we the rakyat must remember all this injustice and vote in the next GE to ensure BN and its leaders like Taib Mahmud, Khir Toyo, Hishammuddin, Najib and even Samy Vellu does not come back to power!

WITH OR WITHOUT ANWAR IBRAHIM!

RPK Rocks!!

Watch this video to understand why even a Statutory Declaration is still useless as long as the PDRM is under the control of UMNO!



My utmost respect for RPK! The torture he endure...WOW!

Why MCMC really do not want you to see in the Malaysiakini's video

The people's Parliament website explains this beautifully

See for yourself!

Judge slapping his own face?

This is by far the most bias and unfair judgement I have seen yet!!
Got this from Malaysia Today

Wednesday, 09 September 2009 14:07
By declaring Ganesan as the rightful speaker, Judge Azahar is in fact making a legal judgment. Is that not a breach of Article 72? How come he has no jurisdiction to hear Sivakumar’s grievances but has jurisdiction to judge Ganesan as legal speaker? Is that not a contradiction of the highest order?

By Kim Quek
A tragic yet hilarious court proceeding took place in the Ipoh high court on Sept 8 when the judge blatantly contradicts himself in dismissing a suit brought by Perak’s Pakatan Rakyat speaker against the state’s Barisan Nasional speaker (yes, two speakers in the Perak assembly).
Judge Azahar Mohamed rejected V Sivakumar’s suit to seek damages from R Ganesan for assault and false imprisonment during the chaotic and violent state assembly sitting on May 7. He said the court had no jurisdiction to hear the case due to Federal Constitution Article 72 stipulating that “the validity of any proceeding in any state assembly cannot be questioned in any court”.

And yet in the same breath he declared that “the decision of the legislative assembly to remove the plaintiff as speaker and to appoint the defendant was conclusive and had been fairly determined by the state assembly on May 7, 2009.”

Now, the crux of the entire contention between the two speakers is: who is on the right side of law in the violent tussle for the speaker’s chair on May 7? By declaring Ganesan as the rightful speaker, Judge Azahar is in fact making a legal judgment. Is that not a breach of Article 72? How come he has no jurisdiction to hear Sivakumar’s grievances but has jurisdiction to judge Ganesan as legal speaker? Is that not a contradiction of the highest order?
Apart from this atrocious double standard applied by the judge, the main flaw of the judgment is the inability to differentiate between assembly proceeding and criminal behaviour. What Sivakumar is seeking is redress for the unlawful physical violence inflicted on him. And Article 72 covers only businesses conducted in the assembly – not unlawful and criminal act.

Judge Azahar has therefore wrongly used Article 72 to come to his judgment. To make it very clear that this is the case, I will quote in full the relevant clauses in Article 72 (Clauses 1 & 2) and explain the reasons why.

Clause 1: “The validity of any proceedings in the Legislative Assembly of any State shall not be questioned in any court.”
Clause 2: “No body shall be liable to any proceedings in any court in respect of anything said or vote given by him when taking part in proceedings of the Legislative Assembly of any State or of any committee thereof.”

Note the operative words “proceedings” in Clause 1 and “anything said or any vote given” in Clause 2. It is abundantly clear what Article 72 refers to are the speeches and resolutions made in the assembly, not any criminal or unlawful act.

But what happened on May 7 was complete pandemonium and chaos in the assembly hall. There was no chance to conduct any business at all, least of all any resolution passed. In fact the only business done on that day was the address by the Perak Regent Raja Nazrin Shah.
And how was Sivakumar “replaced” by Ganesan during that pandemonium?

While Sivakumar was sitting in the speaker’s chair, hordes of police personnel entered the assembly hall, allegedly on Ganesan’s order, and physically lifted, carried, dragged and moved speaker Sivakumar into a room where he was forcibly detained until the assembly sitting was over. And as soon as Sivakumar was removed from the hall, police personnel escorted Ganesan into the hall and ushered him to the speaker’s chair, with police personnel making a line to stand guard in front of Ganesan to prevent any assemblymen from reaching the speaker’s chair.

The entire tragedy-comedy was stage-managed by the police, and it is therefore more appropriate to say that while Sivakumar was elected by the assembly through a reolution, Ganesan was physically planted into the speaker’s chair by the police. And that about sums up what happened on that tragic-hilarious day.

And since Judge Azahar appears to be so respectful of the constitutional principle of separation of power as demonstrated by his professed adherence to Article 72, is it not puzzling that he should have chosen to ignore completely the heinous violation of the doctrine of separation of power when hordes of police personnel invaded the assembly to physically replace one speaker with another? Is it not another shining example of double standard in the Malaysia Boleh tradition?

After the series of judicial decisions that appear to wantonly trample the constitution and the law following the shameful power grab in Perak, the latest low represented by Azahar’s decision makes us wonder how much lower our judiciary can sink into, as many more judicial decisions in the same series are still pending

Govt finally admited that Penan girls were rape! AFTER 1 YEAR!!

Got this report from Malaysiakini
Cut and paste it for those without access to it!

This is not something new! This was highlighted a year ago!!
Why were the authorities so slow in responding to this report?!?


The government has made public a shocking report on sexual abuse of Penan girls and women by logging camp workers in Baram, Sarawak.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Shahrizat Abdul Jalil yielded to pressure from civil society groups to investigate the claims.

The report was handed over to PKR women's chief Zuraida Kamaruddin on Sept 8, almost a year after media accounts of rape of Penan girls by loggers first appeared.

The report lists at least eight cases of sexual abuse of Penan girls and women by logging camp workers. The report said several of the victims were schoolgirls as young as 10.

Local NGOs claim these documented cases were only a small fraction of the total number of cases of sexual abuse.

The ministry's National Action Committee was commissioned by the cabinet on Oct 8 last year, to investigate the claims.

The ministry's team visited Long Item, Long Kawi, Long Luteng, Long Belok, Kampung Ugos, Jambatan Suai, Niah between Nov 10 and 15 last year.
Shahrizat's predecessor, Ng Yen Yen, had promised a transparent investigation. The team was led by director-general of the Department of Women's Development, Dr Noorul Ainor Mohd Nor.

The team was made up of several federal ministries, Sarawak government agencies and NGOs, Women's Aid Organisation and Women's Centre for Change, Penang.

The team concluded that "allegations of sexual abuse of Penan girls and women by outsiders dealing with the Penan, including logging company workers and merchants, did indeed take place".

The protracted delay in releasing the report opened Shahrizat to accusations of trying to cover up the scandal which displeased powerful logging companies in Sarawak.

Shahrizat had previously refused to comment on the delay and instead invited "interested parties" to view the report at her ministry's office in Putrajaya.
Fear of retaliation

The report said the girls' vulnerability, widespread poverty and "dependency on the logging companies for transportation into towns, including sending and ferrying of children to and from schools" was among the reasons for incidents of sexual abuse.

It also said poverty and lack of access to transportation have "prevented many residents from going into towns to register their children's births, and as a result many have no identity cards".

The team also found that access to healthcare and education is inadequate because of the long distances required to travel to schools and clinics.
Noorul's team interviewed two victims, Cindy and Bibi (not their real names). The two girls had travelled to Kuala Lumpur to make police reports at Bukit Aman.
Bibi told her interviewers that she had been raped on two occasions by Johnny (not his real name).

Bibi said she did not report the incident to the police because she was illiterate; furthermore, "she did not know how to make a report".
She did not tell her family who the rapist was because she was afraid of retaliation. She said Johnny had sent food to her family and claimed her as his wife.
But Bibi rejected him because she said, Johnny already has two wives, one of whom is a Penan.

Johnny was portrayed as a loving husband and father by reports in a local Sarawak newspaper, owned by a timber company.
Cindy said she was raped when she was 12 by an unidentified 'outsider', and then raped again years later by a logging camp worker. She bore a child as result of the second rape.

Sexual abuse 'common'
The girls were quoted in the report as saying that it is a regular and common occurrence for logging camp workers to sexually abuse girls who hitch rides to and from school.

One girl, aged 10, said she and her classmates were taken to some bushes when they hitched a ride on a logging truck to get home from school, and that the driver had attempted to rape her.

Other schoolgirls described how logging truck drivers forced schoolboys and other passengers off the vehicles, and made off with young girls.

The girls said they usually told their own families of the sexual abuse but not their teachers, because "they were afraid the teachers would accuse them of lying in order to avoid going to school".

The girls said they were afraid of being caned and punished if they reported the abuse to their teachers.

The report concluded that these communities reject such sexual violence.
However, it went on to say the Penan are vulnerable to such abuse because they are deprived of basic transportation and facilities such as healthcare, access to schools, water and electricity supply.

The Penan are also vulnerable because of prejudice against them, and a lack of trust in government authorities, according to the report.

Neither the Sarawak police nor Bukit Aman have mounted a credible investigation into the government's own findings.

Moodin is so dumb that even MCMC finds their own Minister offensive!

Hahahaha! I have never seen before a situation where MCMC finds their own Minister offensive!

Let me explain.

The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has requested independent news portal Malaysiakini to remove two 'provocative' videos, including the footage of the controversial cow-head protest, from its website.

"These videos contain offensive contents with the intent to annoy any person, especially Indians.

The videos cited were the 'Temple demo: Residents march with cow's head' and

'Hisham: Don't blame cow-head protesters'.

This second video is on Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein's meeting two days ago with the residents who staged the protest and his subsequent press conference.

1. I wonder why they find their own Home Minister's press conference offensive?

2. Eh if the video is offensive, what about the people in the video?

MCMC should stand for MAD COW! MAD COW!!!

If you don get angry reading the SHIT that is coming out of Kerishamoooddin mouth than you must be RETARDED!

I just read this from Malaysiakini!

For the benefit of those who don't have access, let me cut and paste for you!

Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said those involved in the 'cow-head' protest in Shah Alam last week cannot be blamed for the controversy.

Speaking after an hour-long closed-door meeting with residents' representatives at his office in Putrajaya, he said the protesters “had no intention at all to bring the cow's head and invoke racial sentiments or cause tension”.“

They just feel victimised because they feel there is another valid explanation and had no intention to cause racial (divisions),” he said.

Hishammuddin said he was told that the “residents did not know the organisers and did not know a cow's head would be brought during the demonstration”. “When we sat and discussed this, they (said they) realised that they were in a situation they could not control.”

He further defended the protesters, saying that “they just wanted their voices to be heard”.

“However it was unfortunate that the protest was given negative publicity because it was linked to religious and racial sentiments,” he said.

"So if it can be resolved quickly and both sides understand each other, why (should) they be penalised?” said Hishammuddin.

Although the protestors reportedly did not have a permit the minister said “the protest was not big and they (organisers) were very respectful of the Selangor sultan”.

“They even limited the number of people from the committee to only 10. In fact if they wanted to have a bigger protest they could have, but they were conscious (of the impact).

“All they wanted to do was to voice their unhappiness and the unwillingness of the state government to consider their request.”

Hishammuddin said the Selangor government made a poor decision in relocating the temple to a predominantly Malay area.

“Even the Hindus are not passionate about the relocation of the temple to the area,” he claimed.

Asked why the police had not acted when the cow's head was brought in, he claimed that action had been taken.

“I was monitoring it myself and reporting it to the prime minister,” he said.

Commenting on the upcoming dialogue between the Shah Alam Municipal Council and the residents to be held on Saturday, Hishammuddin said this comes “a little too late”.“The residents had met the state representatives before. If they (the representatives had) resolved it then, there wouldn't need to be a protest (in the first place),” he said.

On a personal note, Hishamoooddin felt the protest “in this day and age should be accepted in this world, as the people want their voices to be heard”.“If we don't give them room to voice their opinions, they have no choice but to protest.

1. Who the FU@K made Kerishamooddin judge and jury?!? Even the AG hasn't charge anyone yet, this jackass decide to give his own verdict?!?!

2. How come we don't see him being as compassionate to the HINDRAF, to those at the candle light virgile and etc???

3. If you read his statement properly you will realise that Mr Moooodin just admited that he was responsible in preventing the police from doing anything when he said "
“I was monitoring it myself and reporting it to the prime minister,”.

4. I am not surprise one bit by what this idiot is saying! As mention in my earlier blog entry. We always knew that this UMNO Cow goons will get away scot free!

If you don't get mad, dumbfounded or at the least irritated reading the SHIT that our Racist, Idiotic Home Minister is saying, than you must be brain dead!!

Double Stand Police! BN Cowards!

COWS HEAD BEING STEP ON AND SPIT!
RACIST THREATENING BLOOD SHED!!!

POLICE MADE NO ARREST!!!

Of course the double standard Home Minister will defend his own UMNO Cow Head goons by saying..... the probe will have to be closed before any arrest can be made.

But when Perak Assemblyman tries to do to do their job, they get arrested!!!



Can the police not even make a small effort to try to look neutral ah?!?

What's worst is that the BN Cowards supporter did not get arrested dispite grathering at the same place to put up a banner saying that BN has the support of the "rakyat"!


Khairy J. echo this crap when he said that the opposition pact of DAP, PAS and PKR was trying to disrupt the state's administration as it was clear that the BN government, led by Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir, was accepted by the people.

I have only one thing to say!!

PROVE WHAT YOU SAY YOU BN COWARDS!!!!

GIVE THE PERAK PEOPLE ANOTHER ELECTION TO CHOOSE!!

OTHERWISE JUST SHUT UP YOU

BN COWARDS!!

Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein BuLL5h!t!

Malaysiakini reported yesterday

The CowHead MoB - who were involved in the protest to oppose a relocation of a Hindu temple to their neighbourhood - will meet the Home Minister tomorrow to voice their grievances over the issue.

Hishammuddin also said the police are still conducting an investigation against the protesters based on 52 police reports lodged so far.
He said the probe will have to be closed before any arrest can be made.

"But we are not hiding anything from the people... We will take action against anybody who has (affected sensitive issues) but at the same time, we need to be fair to the people concerned (the residents) because they have the right to defend themselves,” he added.

BULLSHIT!

BULLSHIT!!!

BULLSHIT!!!

(Below are some comments from Malaysiakini's readers.)

1. A group not only staged an illegal protest, they not only carried out an act to offend people of another faith, they also threatened to shed blood of people of another faith. And the Hon. Minister wants to "jom minum" with them and find out what irks them?

IDIOTS!!

When the Indians felt marginalised and wanted to let the government know their feelings, they were sprayed with chemicals and the leaders thrown in jail. YB Theresa Kok was thrown in jail on the allegation that she had the audacity to ask a mosque to turn down the volume of the call to prayer!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This keris-wielding fool talks about how important it is to listen to the residents' views and such, but we all remember there was no hesitation in using ISA against Teresa Kok for even being accused of talking about a mosque's prayer call (and that wasn't even true). Here we have proof in black and white what the racists and rabble-rousers did, and yet you have this buffoon of a minister trying to appear diplomatic. BN and Umno suck. Racists. Facists.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kalau orang pro-Kerajaan, kena tunggu siasatan dihabiskan walaupun 52 report telah dibuat. Kalau orang anti kerajaan, walaupun tiada report dibuat "ditangkap dan siksa dulu, baru buat siasatan". Itu pun kena pressure ikut undang-undang, kalau tidak OKT di bantai sampai mati di lockup je. HH, Can we have an appointment with you. We need to tell you personally, what a moron you are, how stupid you sound and how contradictory your words and actions are with the so called 1 Malaysia slogan of your boss. Dah lah, "Bikin tak serupa cakap" sekarang " buang batu dan sembunyikan tangan pulak" Ingat nak bodohkan kita, tapi kamu dan kerajaan kamu yang jelas nampak bodoh I believe that it is more a case of different brain capacity. The group that carried the cow head are cow heads themselves

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The damage already done. Too late for talks. Immediate arrest and let them do the talking in court!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Whilst the investigations are still ongoing? Isn't that a bit stupid and could be construed as interference with the course of justice? If it were innocent candle light protesters, they would have been arrested on the spot and spend a couple of nights in a lock-up. In this case, there have to be investigations first, even when the whole protest was captured in great detail in audio and video!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. It would be foolish for one to meet the said residents when police investigations are continuing! 2. Most importantly – the behavior of the protestors were photographed, taped and recorded and in that, the main actor was highly provocative, reportedly saying the residents he represented were prepared to shed blood to prevent a Hindu temple being relocated to their neighborhood. 3. This incident was telecast around the world and we are being watched by others to see if we have several sets of laws operating in the country - one for the opposition another for the ruling party, its political predators and adventurers! 4. The Home Minister being a lawyer knows ‘no one is above the law’ just as well as he knows that laws have being broken in this case! There are to date - over 52 police reports!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BN did not listen when thousands portested...not 50 people protest nd minister can go to meet them lolzzzz

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is very easy for some people to see Hishamuddin and his cousin Najib. Remember the story of how Saiful, the guy who says he was sodmised, just walked up to Najib's house and received a warm welcome. These two cousins are such nice, friendly and caring people. How can anyone say or suspect that they had anything to do with these two major incidents!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

what the hell???? why need to meet the home minister? and why should kerismuddin allowed the meeting?? the protestors were already clearly in the wrong and ought to be arrested immediately by police but police kept delaying and now they want to meet kerimsuddin? what kind of double standard is this from the police and the home minister?? grrr!! so mad! it is 2malaysia, not 1malaysia - 1 for oppostion/NGO and one for umno/extremist muslim!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any true God fearing Malaysian (Malays and non-Malays) who can still vote for BN after this is an idiot!
