Sejak Penubuhan Kerajaan Madani: Refleksi terhadap Serangan Terhadap Kabinet

Image
Untuk versi Bahasa Inggeris sila baca di sini SEJAK penubuhan kerajaan Madani pada 24 November 2022, beberapa tokoh utama dalam kabinet telah menghadapi serangan bertubi-tubi.           Seperti permainan catur, Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menjadi sasaran utama. Tokoh lain seperti Hannah Yeoh dan Nga Kor Ming—kedua-duanya dari Parti Tindakan Demokratik (DAP)—juga menjadi sasaran serangan.           Begitu juga, Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan Dr. Zaliha Mustafa tidak terlepas daripada kritikan, terutamanya selepas beliau mengambil keputusan untuk menghapuskan peranan orang tengah yang mengaut keuntungan daripada kadar sewa gerai yang tinggi di pusat bandar.           Saifuddin di Bawah Perhatian           Sasaran terbaru ialah Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. Setahun yang lalu, beliau dikritik kerana mencadangkan pindaan Perlembagaan ...

Since the Madani Government Was Established: A Reflection on Targeted Attacks

Image
For the Malay version, please click here SINCE the Madani government was formed on November 24, 2022, several key figures in the cabinet have faced relentless attacks.             Much like a game of chess, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is the ultimate target. Others, such as Hannah Yeoh and Nga Kor Ming—both from the Democratic Action Party (DAP)—have also come under fire.             Similarly, Federal Territories Minister Dr. Zaliha Mustafa has faced her share of criticism, especially after her decision to eliminate middlemen profiting from high stall rentals in the city centre.   Saifuddin Under the Spotlight             The latest target is Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail. Just a year ago, he was criticized for proposing amendments to the Federal Constitution and introducing the House Arrest Bill, aimed at reducing prison con...

Reactions to my blog post simply amuse me....

          Just as the dust was about to settle, I received yet another message from someone cherry-picking details of what Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said in his explanation, and trying to turn it into another major conflict.           I started listening to the video which was sent to me by a Member of Parliament, stating it as the "full version" confirming what I wrote in my blog post .  Full version:  https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Hrq5VHiwJ/             In the video, I see Anwar just trying to explain every step of the process and why he wanted to show some mercy to his            To me, this critic is just searching for the perfect man to be the Prime Minister of the country. He will never find one.           If he cannot accept that Anwar is human and prone to making mistakes, it is  no w...

LIHAT, SIAPA YANG KETAWA TERAKHIR!

For the English version, click here   https://come-to-senses.blogspot.com/2025/01/look-whos-having-last-laugh.html NAMPAKNYA Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim sedang menikmati kemenangan terakhirnya dalam kontroversi yang melibatkan addendum bekas Yang di-Pertuan Agong.           Tidak mengejutkan apabila Anwar dituduh “menyembunyikan” addendum, beliau hanya menjawab dengan santai, “Oouuu...!”           Walaupun saya tidak dapat mengesahkan sama ada Anwar tahu di mana addendum itu berada sejak awal, sekurang-kurangnya beliau telah membuat kerja rumahnya. Jika beliau tahu, mungkin beliau menunggu saat ini untuk mengejutkan pihak lawannya.    Tanggungjawab Tidak Dilaksanakan           Ini bukanlah isu mudah untuk rakyat biasa seperti kita menyelesaikannya, tetapi seseorang menjangkakan pihak Pembangkang—dan individu seperti anak Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Datuk Mohd Nizar Razak, ya...

LOOK, WHO'S HAVING THE LAST LAUGH!

Image
Untuk versi Bahasa Malaysianya, baca di sini: https://come-to-senses.blogspot.com/2025/01/lihat-siapa-yang-ketawa-terakhir.html IT  seems Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is having the last laugh over the controversy surrounding the former Agong’s addendum.           No surprise, then, that when accused of “hiding” the addendum, Anwar responded with a nonchalant, “Oouuu...!”           While I cannot confirm whether Anwar knew the addendum's whereabouts right from the start, he at least did his homework. If he did, he would have waited till this moment to confound his adversaries. Due Diligence Not Done           This is not a simple matter for ordinary citizens like us to unravel, but one would expect the Opposition—and someone like Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s son, Datuk Mohd Nizar Razak, who received the letter used by Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah — to investigate it thoroughly. ...
  https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS6aELDvL/  1. This lays out clearly what is happening in the former King’s addendum saga  2. Bear in mind that Umno is still arguing on a former king’s addendum when the current king has already said that anything about royal clemency must go through the set procedure 3. ⁠my questions therefore: a) Did Anwar “approve” the present king’s decree since his detractors have made him into the invincible Anwar to be blamed for everything that may not even be involved in or he cannot overstep the  former king’s decision to reduce Najib’s sentence?  b) since Umno said the king has the absolute power to pardon, is the king’s decision based on the advice of the pardon’s board to reduce Jibbi’s sentence  or they were merely giving him advices based on the issue of legality and how the rakyat and international community would respond to the King’s decision whichever decision he made?  c) since the federal constitution is very clear about th...

Life's So Fragile

ON Friday 3 January 2025, my dear friend HT Long sent me a video, with this line: "Ht Long Sings a Beautiful Song "Who Am I" specially for you  and   your preccius family."           Along with this are his usual daily greetings ... Ht Long's 2 lovely young fans in Klang after his Concert     The timestamp showed that it was 0403, meaning by about 4am, he was already awake.  Till we meet again, my friend!     Little did I know that it was his last day in this world. By evening, I was informed by his wife, Suzie that HT Long has returned home to be with the Lord. 

Bravo, PDRM!

  BURUAN Polis terhadap tiga orang lelaki yang terlibat dalam pengembangan ajaran sesat ini amat dihargai.     Untuk pengetahuan sekalian, ini adalah grup yang mengembangkan ajaran sesat. Beberapa tahun lalu, ada dua lelaki berpakaian seragam ini telah cuba mengembangkan ajaran mereka kepada seorang pastor gereja tempatan.      Jikalau pihak berkuasa bertanyakan kepada pihak Persekutuan Kristian Malaysia (CFM), saya percaya gereja yang mereka datang ini memang tidak disenaraikan.      Ini kerana untuk  komuniti Kristian selama ini mereka ini dikenali sebagai sebuah "kultus" (cult) dari Amerika Syarikat.       Sewaktu belajar di Australia, saya bersama dengan rakan serumah saya pernah didatangi pelawat-pelawat ini dari Amerika Syarikat.      Saya ketawa terbahak-bahak bila pemuda itu memberitahu saya bahawa Kristus Yesus menyeberangi laut dengan sebuat bot. Tak ingat lagi samada dia berkata ke India, Chi...

Pandangan saya terhadap apa tohmahan-tohmahan yang dibuat ke atas Masyarakat Kristian

Saya berharap saya akan dapat memberikan pencerahan supaya kita dapat memahami dengan lebih mendalam apa yang menjadi topik utama yang menyebabkan segelintir NGO menggesa Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menggugurkan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, YB Hannah Yeoh.          D ari perspektif teologi, sebenarnya tidak ada konsep “negara Kristian” pun di kalangan masyarakat Kristian.           Sejak “Protestant Reformation" (Reformasi gereja Protestan di abad ke 16 ), doktrin pemisahan antara gereja dan negara ( the doctrine of separation of church and state ) yang diajar oleh Martin Luther, seorang ahli teologi Jerman, paderi, dan tokoh penting dalam Reformation Protestan, telah menentukan pendirian kami.           Pasti anda faham erti " Power corrupts ." Oleh kerana ku asa cenderung membawa kepada korupsi, maka gereja dan negara memang tidak boleh disatukan, mengikut Luther.        ...
