Tribute to Father of Freedom.....

Today marks a day, a historical day. A person with so much dedication, affliction to the country in some way was brought down by his own aids, friends and the very person that brought him up to where he is. Can you imagine, what its like to select your leader, and then when in the battle field, you not only leave him standing alone in the middle without any support but friendly firing from your end as well. Well, some can say that this is normal and it happens with it everywhere.

Since Abdullah Badawi took stand as the fifth Malaysia Prime Minister he battled out three things.

1) He promised to battled down corruption. Lots of public figure was arrested to this, and lots of people applauds to his battle. But some how a rather this has disturbed certain parties and individual.
2)He has advocated an interpretation of Islam known as Islam Hadhari, which advocates the intercompatibility between Islam and economic and technological development.
3)His administration has also been emphasising a revival of the Malaysian agricultural sector.

The above was what gave him a landslide victory in 2004 taking 198 seats out of 220 seats. The win also includes taking back Terrangganu and caming close to taking PAS stronghold Kelantan. The victory was widely regarded as an approval of his vision and battle towards anti - coruption.

What made Abdullan Badawi or known as Pak Lah a great man, was his determination to focus on internal security after the increase of corruptive parties in the law enforcment for example. He even give Anti- Corruption agencies more power which made easier for public to reveal corrupted parties and agencies.

By implementing this, he might have disturbed certain parties, or individual dislike him or the start of his downfall. To make things worst as an UMNO leader, when the time came for Malaysia 9th Plan, he decided to take further action not to pursue the strategies of Mahathir. He decided to generate grwoth through innovation and creativity, but by foreign investment, government contracts, and privatization. He was also heavily criticize for a sudden height or Petrol price in his administration. Abdullah was even more under pressure when he wont the 12th General Election with a reduced majority and loosing out four more states. Allthough it was the party (Barisan Nasional) that lost that day, he faced politcal crisis asking him to resign not only from the opposition but its also coming within his party. The son of the former premier, Mukhriz Mahathir, has openly called for him to step down. To add salt in it Mahathir Mohamad himself decides to leave UMNO where he serves the party 22 years. Today rumours say he will rejoin back the party.

Well, i would just want to show my gratitude and thank you for your contribution to the nation. It was a hard battle fought without support from you own party. May you now enjoy the rest of you life with family members, children, and grand children.

PAS AND HUDUD LAWS!!!


I would say, every time when PAS is mentioned, one will think HUDUD and Islamic Laws. I don't know how such thing can happen but I would be honest that I once had that kind of mindset. I don't know how but I just did. But as times goes by I come to realize that, this are only saying and ideology of PAS if they would to take over the Federal Government. But even if that happens, do you think PKR and DAP will agree to it? A coalition party means, if a party would to implement any policies, it must be agreed among the others. So think again, such thing will not happen if PAS would to rule the country. So why be afraid if PAS implement Islamic laws if it comes to power in the federal government when it needs 2/3 majority.

The difference you would notice until now whether as a coalition or as an individual party, PAS always announces what it wants to do, they make noise over it always, but yet to know you dont really see them doing in. They don't really do things in secret and you don't really get a wake up call and then realize you have been hit badly. Take for example, using the word "Allah" not only in Bible or Catholics and Christians publication, holding hands of non-Muslim in public area, temples for the Hindhu and Buddha has not been an issue in Kelantan. I even remember when i was a kid, following a school trip, i was to my surprised question why the biggest Thai Temple (sleeping statue of Buddha) is in Kelantan. Though Nik Aziz can be very religious, I don't think he would even object using the word "Allah". If you realize, i repeated this line twice because, I fell sad and being abuse as a Catholic, that my domination and believe use the word for secret agenda. Its like saying, Christianity is not a real believe in the country. What else can I say about this man, he even allow Chinese to Slaughter Pigs in Kelantan when he took over... So again, why should be afraid of Nik Aziz running Federal Government???

The list can continue to grow further, but its not really necessary. I just emphasize the above because I find it very interesting from my point of view. Not everybody will agree.

With PAS you know whats being throw at you. You can oppose if disagree, you don't really get this opportunity elsewhere, instead you will get yourself into deep trouble and action can be taken against you for insulting Islam. You might not agree with PAS policies on Islam. but at least you can voice out. You don't enjoy this luxuries elsewhere.

Lastly, sometimes PAS might be ridiculousness but with now as I have seen and learn many things, I will definitely choose them against anything else. And for the rest of you, if you think by voting them you are not protected. Think Again!!!...
