Middle East Revolution

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

1. It's been a very long time since the last time I've updated this blog.

2. This is due to me being busy and stressed out from work. Now thankfully I've changed job and my current job is much, much better condition than my previous job.

3. And now everyone can see that the Middle East experienced a huge wave of revolution across nations there.

4. Started with Tunisia which successfully toppled Zine El Abidine, it spread to Egypt (which has successfully toppled Mubarak regime), and now it covered Bahrain, Jordan, Libya and most probably a few more nations.

5. But, will this be the rise of the good governments for those nations or will it be replaced by worse regimes than the previous regimes? Is it worth all the bloodshed?

6. Some said it's not worth it, some said it's worth it. But from my view, I can say if the government is against the people, the people can try to change the government through legal ways first (i.e. through election).

7. But if the election proved to be a huge fraud, then other ways must be used. And going to the streets is certainly the last resort as it will be anarchy and chaos to the nation. Not to mention the nation's economy will be grind to a halt.

8. So for those intended to try to bring change to this beloved country through the streets, please think carefully and prepare to sacrifice everything for the cause as it will not be child's play. This will bring bloodshed, death, anarchy, chaos and uncertainty to our nation. And it will also grind our economy to a halt.

9. And the replacement government may be worse than the current government. That's the risk.

10. I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again....

Boycott Smart, Not Hard

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

1. This issue may have gone cool since the attack conducted by Israeli commandos on the aid flotilla to Gaza but we must not forget that Israel is the enemy of freedom and Muslims.

2. One of the most powerful peaceful force to decrease their power is to boycott the companies that supported them.

3. But, we must also know that we cannot simply boycott blindly as wrongly boycott will affect us more than them.

4. How is this possible? Franchise.

5. Franchise usually just involving usage of the brand and standards of that brand by franchisees, where franchisees forked out their own money to gain those. And by agreement, they also get almost all of the profits themselves. The franchisor only gets money based on contract that can be either percentage of the total profit made by the franchisees or a fixed amount of money paid by the franchisees to the franchisor. 

6. So if we boycott franchises, our own economy suffers more than their economy as almost all of the contracts to suppply equipment, raw materials and others are supplied by local companies.

7. If we want to start boycott correctly, first we must target the pro-Zionists companies that has their products manufactured outside of Malaysia rather than boycott pro-Zionists companies that manufacture their products in Malaysia.

8. And franchises? Definitely the last to target as it will impact our economy greatly rather than foreign-produced products.

9. That's why I never agree when someone shouted that we should boycott McDonald's and Starbucks first. That will affect us first rather than the enemy. If we want to boycott that I can suggest boycott Levi's first as their product is not manufactured in Malaysia and it's pro-Zionists as well. It will have little impact on us since the local companies only distributed the products rather than manufacture them here.

10. So think twice and do your research before you started boycotting here and there blindly. Miscalculated plan will only destroy us before them.

11. I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again....

Israel: Welfare Nation

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

1. I still remembered few years ago when there are Islamic badges started to surface around campus in Malaysia.

2. There are many words written such as "Nikah: Connecting the Halal Way", "Free Palestine" and many more. But one of them caught my eye. There is one badge that says "Israel is not real".

3. I find that word interesting. I'm not so sure what the badge is supposed to mean, but if anyone ask me, I can say it's pretty real as in terms of its current existence with its own military might and its own economic strength. But how real is Israel?

4. Let's dwell back to the basic definition of a country. Wikipedia stated that "country is a geographical region. The term is often applied to a political division or the territory of a sovereign state, or to a smaller, or former, political division of a geographical region. Usually, but not always, a country coincides with a sovereign territory and is associated with a state, nation or government." source here

5. Most of the countries in the world have their existence recognised by other countries. One cannot say that their government exists when their existence as a nation is not acknowledged by other nations. 

6. There are few nations in the world which are not acknowledged its existence by all other nations such as: South Ossetia (only recognised by Russia and few of its allies), Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (recognised by Turkey only), Republic of Kosovo (recognised by US and few of its allies), Republic of Somaliland (informally recognised as a nation by few other nations) and Republic of Taiwan aka Republic of China (recognised by many but not People's Republic of China aka mainland China) just to name a few.

7. But, guess what? Israel also falls into the same category as the nations above when it's not recognised by most Islamic countries and few other nations. 

8. Most of the states above have its economy and military strength relies on the nations that recognised them such as  Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (relies 100% on Turkey for economy and military) and Republic of Taiwan (relies on US for military equipments).

9. Israel relies on US for its economy and military to prosper. Seems unbelievable? Not. It's real. It's impossible for a vile and savage government who always attacked its neighbours (Syria and Lebanon especially) can have good stable economy as Israel always threatened by so-called "local terrorism". But still, it can manage to have strong military capabilities and high-income citizens. 

10. How can this be happening? It's easy. The Zionist lobby forced on US government and most European nations to fuel its non-existence economy by forcing companies to set up office, factories, franchises in Israel (US) and by claiming "damage" to "Jewish" people by Nazi (Germany).

11. Those alone have fueled a bit of Israeli "economy". But US also gave billions of dollars of their taxpayers' money to fuel Israeli "economy" and military.

12. Without these, Israel will never been as it is today. They only able to maintain their existence based on US and European nations' "welfare" money aka subsidy. Without those money, Israel will be in similar position as Pakistan and North Korea where poverty thrives.

13. I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again....

Debate And Aftermath...

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

0.Intro
Actually I don't want to say anything about the debate as there are tons of sources that people can find about the details for the recent debate between DSAI and Dato Seri Shabery Cheek, the Information Minister. But, still, maybe I can also write something else together with it so I give my views about it anyway.

1.International Issues
Currently there are not much. Only the prisoner swap between Hezbollah and Israel has taken place. And the bid made by certain western countries to try the Sudanese president, Omar Al-Bashir to International Criminal Court for suspecting his involvement in genocide in Darfur. But then, sometimes some people wonder why the western countries care so much about Darfur anyway that they neglect many other nation that needs their attention such as Palestine, Somalia, etc. Well, in my opinion, I think there must be something that has to do with oil reserves in Sudan as I remembered that the oil reserves in Sudan has been found just recently, so there must be a lot of it that still left untounched. And waiting to be drilled out. But then, I can only speculate about that. Who knows that there might be some other things that we still do not know about Darfur... Only the Almighty knows.....

2.Local Politics
By the time I write about the debate, its already seems like obsolete... like its been 2 days ago... and DSAI has already captured by the police under pretext of his failure to come to the police HQ to voice out his views on the latest accusation against him. But, still, I am sure that many people has been watching the debate that night, 15th July 2008, 9pm-10pm, titled "Kerajaan PR naik hari ini, esok harga minyak turun" or something like that. And I am also sure that many people can see who's the winner in the debate even though the moderator did not declare it. It is clear cut that DSAI has won the debate. Although I never liked him, but I had to admit that he is good that night. He's quite professional during the debate compared to his opposition, Dato Seri Shabery Cheek (DSSC). DSSC has not answer half of the questions asked to him. And he also gave out weak arguments and continuously attacking DSAI's private life. Then DSAi calmly said "I will not retaliate on the attacks against my private life. This is not the right platform. This platform is on the fuel issue. So I will only focus on that". In a few moment, I am surprised by his professionalism. But still, I can say that this debate is a one-sided battle as many people has already knew who's going to win even before the debate as many people already knew that DSAI is a good debater compared to DSSC.

3.Palestinian Issues
urgh... right now I don't really have anything to say here... just reading the headlines on what's happened recently in Palestine on Palestine Information Center website is enough to make me weep...

4.Others
4.1.
Well, I just remembers about there's one time when our former PM, Tun Dr. Mahathir (TDM) had suggested that we use "Dinar Emas" or Gold Dinar instead of US dollar when trading between Muslim nations in order to reduce and ultimately free the Muslim nations from the shackles of US currency imposed on them. But it seems that the idea never took off as the other Muslim nations are too scared of US retaliations on them if they agreed to do so. What has happened here?? What has happened to the former glory of the Caliphates?? from the Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) and the Sahabats, Umayyad Empire, Abbasid Empire, Moors of Andalusia, and the last one, Ottoman Empire, until finally it collapsed under Mustafa Kamal Attarturk. Where are the former bravery of the Muslim nations?? Where?? Too bad now the Muslims has fall this low when no Muslim nations dare to stand up against US imperialism on the Muslim world... And too bad that we have only one option left: to wait for Imam Mahdi to come and save us from this evil... erm... actually I want to say about the usage of the Gold Dinar could save our economy from the incoming global recession that caused by the collapse of US dollar... yes... If you read the recent news, you can see that US is heading towards recession, and they're not going to fall alone. Every nation that uses US dollar in trading will fall together as well.

4.2.The Fall of "Paper Money" system
And actually, as I have read from various sources, it seems that not only US dollar is falling, but the whole concept of "paper money" is going to fall as well. What I refer to "paper money" is the currencies that we are using right now, which is available with many names. RM, USD, Yen, Yuan, Euro, you name it. All of those currencies are actually numbers written on paper with nothing to support it as valuables. All the values exists on it are only based on what the system told you alone. If the system collapsed, the values written on it will be completely useless. And, I am not really sure about this, but this system first introduced during the Crusades, when the English King uses paper to replace gold as a receipt in order to pay the support his soldiers. And the modern banking system has been introduced to us by the Jews, which is why they can easily manipulate the values of worldwide economy and currencies. So, the only way to save yourself from this collapse is to possess real valuables such as parchments of land, gold, silver, etc. You can also search on the internet to verify this matter.

I think that's all for now.... till then shall we meet again....

New Dissappointment and Fear....

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

Okay, so our 'beloved' PM did not stepped down in nearest time as he just had take oath as the Malaysian PM for the new term. But now I can say one thing for him: if he didn't change his ways of leading the government, still "listens to the opinions from the young one (aka Khairy Jamaluddin)", I can say that this term may be the last term for BN to rule the country. The current Oppositions (BA) may come out as the next ruling party in the next general election.

So we go back to other matters in Malaysia. Just a few days after the election, there are already surprises in the this beloved country of mine, that is, Malaysia. One of the most controversial yet is the new coalition government in Penang, led by Lim Guan Eng, the secretary-general of Democratic Actions Party (DAP) and chief minister of Penang, with his decision to scrap New Economic Policy (NEP) in the state he led. Many Malays have been outraged by this decision and the mainstream media only adding fuel to the raging fire by adding racist comments about Guan Eng's decision.

True to that, me myself, at first, was also enraged by that decision. But after a few hours of thinking and trying to remember what I have seen in Penang before, I found out that there's not much difference between when the NEP was implemented in Penang and now. This is because the Malays in Penang before the election has already suffers with lack of development in their areas compared to other areas especially on the island part. You can go and observe for yourself the difference of the level of development between the eastern part of the island part and Balik Pulau, the only Malay-majority area left on the island. I'm sure that you will agree with my opinion on this part.

And from this, I can say that these things happened is all because of one thing: the NEP has not been implemented correctly in Penang. Based on the situation in Balik Pulau, I can say that the NEP has been corrupted and misused by the upper-echelons of United Malay National Organisation (UMNO) representatives in Penang. Only the closest ally and cronies gets the shares from the implementation of NEP. The rest of the Malay masses didn't get anything. And with the 'AliBaba' phenomenon is also rampant during those periods, so there's no way NEP can help the Malay masses in Penang.

Actually, NEP is a nice policy to start with. But the problem lies with the implementation part of it where corruption, cronism and nepotism has ruled over NEP. So the best way now is to scrap it and have the Malay leaders in UMNO Penang Division to think back and change their ways if they ever dreamed of getting the Malay votes back in Penang. And for the current government, I urged the Malay representatives in the Barisan Alternatif (BA) coalition government to do their job of getting rid of all 'ism' that has become the core of the previous government. In other words, do your job properly! One of the main reasons the previous government was rejected because they're not doing their jobs properly. Don't even forget that.

And for the other parts of the world, US as I have expected, they are already planning on an assault on Iran in the nearest time. It can be either in few days, few months, or even few years. But I predict that the assault will be commenced in less than a year after this post published. This is only based from the comments made by US military and President though (not to forget the two US generals that quits because of this matter). So everyone, prepare to brace the impact of another war in Middle-East.

While in Palestine, both West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Israelis as usual arrogantly continues to expand their illegal settlements even after UN resolution has already ruled that the settlements are illegal under international law and continue their assault under the pretext of protecting their civilians while they continuously attack the Gaza civilians. Very hypocritic of them to do so. Actually I have gotten sick of telling the evil deeds that the Israelis have inflicted on the Palestinians but still, I have to continue doing this until everyone in the world realises this gruesome facts about Israel, the illegal nation.

Erm, I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again...

And some issues here....

Assalamualaikum and good day to all,

So this is gonna be my first post for this year (according to Gregorian calender) 2008 and gonna be the last post for this year (according to Hijri calender) 1428.  I just remembered one of the minor things that many modern Muslim women tend to ignore: the Hijab (also known as 'tudung' in Malay). Most of them who refused to wear Hijab tend to say, "Hijab is outdated", or they also might say "we must follow the latest trend, Hijab is uncool to wear, it looks old" and so on. So to those women, let me say this: Hijab is actually a new trend together with clothes that covers Aurat if we look back in history.

Some might argue with my point here.

They might say "hey, it's already more than 1400 years old already!!".

What?? it's that old??

Yup. The fashion is already more than 1400 years old but based from my research, the fashion which do not have Hijab on and does not cover the Aurat has been much, much, much older than that. If you don't believe me you can do the research yourself and you will find that type of fashion which the Westerners boast as 'new' fashions is more than 4000 years old. And what's more, even the Western historians tend to draw depictions of people from past civilisations [as old as the Stone Age, if it ever existed(refer to here)] as wearing minimum clothes that only cover their private parts!!

So, for those women out there, if you REALLY want keep up with latest fashion, choose to wear Hijab and clothes that covers your Aurat. It's 1400+ years old, but newer than clothes that did not include Hijab and does not cover your Aurat which is 4000+ years old fashion. For men out there, tell your women this too if you wanted your women to keep up with the REAL latest fashion. With this way, you are not only keeping up with the latest fashion, you're also pleasing the Almighty and our beloved Apostle, Muhammad S.A.W. (pbuh) by following His commands (on clothing only for this case). 

So, women, BE COOL, CHOOSE TO WEAR HIJAB AND COVER YOUR AURAT!!!

On the other hand, regarding the latest issue, many people may already know about the presidential race in US to select the new US president, dubbed "the most powerful seat in the world". But for me, I say that it's not entirely correct to say that. I think some of you may not know about how this presidential race is going on. So I'm gonna tell you how.

The US presidential election starts with those who wants to represent their party (there are only 2 parties in US, Republican and Democrat). Then they collect donations or funds for the candidate nominations. In this case, the donations are coming from many sources, and the most prominent of them all comes from pro-Israel organisations such as American Israel Public Affairs Committee aka AIPAC (the most powerful lobby in US) which also provides most of the funds for the presidential candidates. So, the candidates have to please those with the most money (in this case AIPAC) in order to get funds for their campaign.

So, it is clear who are the most powerful: the ones who provides funds for the presidential campaign or in other words AIPAC which represents the Zionists in the White House.

And, before you start to blame Jews for this, let me make it clear here: the ones at fault here are Zionists, not Jews as there are also Jews that also anti-Israel.

Wait? am I saying that I'm defending the Jews?

No. Of course not. But I wanted you to know well your enemies before you start attacking them without a valid reason. There are also Christian Zionists in case you haven't noticed. But as we all know, almost all of Zionists are Jews (I use 'almost' as there may be non-Jews that also a Zionist). So, don't believe any word that the next president of US will help to stop attacks on the Palestinians by Israel.  Erm, I think that's all I have to say for now. Till then shall we meet again...

Annapolis meeting: an insult to muslims

Assalamualaikum to all,
If I remembered correctly, it's almost a month since the Annapolis meeting between Israel and Palestinian Authority with US as the mediator. For the meeting, I can say that it's a complete insult to the Palestinian people and the Islamic world as the meeting was never meant to solve the problems that the Palestinians face since the creation of Israel until now. If someone ask me why, then my answer is the contents  of the meeting did not even mention the right of return for the Palestinians which Israel never and will never ever agree to as the right of return means that the Jews have to give up the land they consfiscated from the Palestinians. And what's more, in the Annapolis meeting, Israel is supposed to halt building new settlements in Palestine occupied territories and the Palestinian Authority has to crackdown resistance. But, just like US, Israel blantantly broke the deal with handing the contracts to build 300 new settlements in annexed East Jerusalem to the developers. 

So, what can we say here? I just can say one thing: if Israel cannot agree to co-existing with the Palestinians, which they don't, then I can only repeat the phrase that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian Premier, has spoken before (even though it is said to be mistranslated into English by western press, according to himself) : Israel must be wiped off the map! That's the only thing that I can say to Israel. And I don't know why the Islamic countries have agreed to attend the meeting as their agreement to attend it shows that they approved of Israel. And especially Malaysia, as the OIC chairman to attend it, is a complete insult to muslims and the Palestinians especially as the Fatah faction that they called to the meeting does not represent the Palestinians at all. They're not even a legal government. The legal government of Palestinian Authority is supposed to be Hamas as they are the one who won the majority in the last election in Palestine. So, what's your opinion about this issue? If you have anything to say regarding this issue, just post your comment. I'll be gladly to hear it. For more information, you can surf these websites:

• http://aljazeera.net/english - Aljazeera News in English
  
• http://www.palestine-info.co.uk/en/default.aspx - News from Occupied Territories in Palestine

And that's all for now, till then shall we meet again....
