I think Umno has lost its moral bearing

I feel compelled to write a series of short articles based on all my observations in the social media.

Something is desperately very wrong when you have a leader who has been convicted, yet you can shout, "Apa Malu, Bosku!" as though he is a celebrity in your midst.

Just ask some of your friends from overseas if they know who the US Department of Justice was referring to as Official No 1 in the 1MDB scandal, they will just smile.

News has flashed across the world that the DOJ was referring to Najib Abdul Razak.

When people can shout, "Apa Malu, Bosku!" (what is there to be ashamed, my Boss), it makes feel uncomfortable when their political party can win the coming general election.

A party that runs the country when it has lost its moral compass will only lead the country to both moral and financial bankruptcy.

If we care enough for the country, we would not want to go down the path of Sri Lanka. Our brothers and sisters there are sufffering as a result of not doing anything when their country was run by the kleptokrats.

My text is in Malay, but the text in English, Mandarin and Tamil below is provided by Artificial Intelligence.” Teks saya dalam Bahasa Malaysia tetapi Teks bahasa Inggeris, Mandarin dan Tamil di bawah dibekalkan oleh Artificial Intelligence: Daulat Tuanku, beribu-ribu ampun. Bukan saja di Malaysia, rakyat mengalami kos saraan hidup yang tinggi tetapi selepas Pandemik Covid, banyak negara mengalami isu yang sama. Secara ringkas, pinjaman negara meningkat selama ini disebabkan masalah 1MDB, pandemik dan interest yang perlu dibayar. Berbanding dengan zaman DrM di mana elit yang mendapat bantuan, tetapi masih memerlukan bailout termasuklah anak Dr M sendiri. Dalam era DSAI, ekonomi beliau yang berteraskan B40 dan M40, ini yang rakyat hendak lihat. Semua bantuan yang disalurkan kepada golongan ini akhirnya juga dapat mempertabatkan GDP dan ekonomi negara dan memanfaatkan rakyat Tuanku. Dana yang digunakan untuk membantu raykat sekalian akhirnya juga akan m...

My heart will go on

It must be at least twenty years ago when I first encountered Malaysia’s very own Stevie Wonder, Colin Ng Soon Beng. It was during Chinese New Year, at the home of a mutual friend. Colin was only about ten years old then. His mother introduced him to me as a “special child.” She said, “Pick a song. We’ll play it for Colin to listen, and he will play it back for you.” I chose My Heart Will Go On from Titanic. To this day, Colin still remembers that it was the song he played for me. Born with multiple disabilities, Colin’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Being visually impaired, he could not learn music the way most children do. Yet God blessed him with an extraordinary gift: a razor-sharp ear. He could identify the brand of a photocopier or the model of a car simply by hearing its sound. His mother, Janet, devoted her life to nurturing his talent. After losing her husband when Colin was 24, she became not only a mother but also a father figure, chauffeur, and companion in ...

DALAM EMPAT BAHASA/ IN FOUR LANGUAGES/在四种语言中/ நான்கு மொழிகளில்: A Piece of Good News Worth Celebratinng

Akhirnya, anak Sarawak ini — Soliman Wan — telah menerima kewarganegaraannya! Dilahirkan 52 tahun lalu di kawasan pedalaman Sarawak, bukan sesuatu yang mudah bagi ayah dan ibunya untuk ke bandar bagi mendaftarkan kelahriannya. Tambahan pula, pada waktu itu, ramai penduduk di Sabah dan Sarawak kurang memahami kepentingan dokumen rasmi sebagai bukti status kewarganegaraan. Soliman dilahirkan pada tahun 1974, ketika Malaysia baru berusia 13 tahun. Kefahaman mengenai kewarganegaraan masih belum begitu meluas, terutamanya dalam kalangan masyarakat yang tercicir daripada arus pembangunan dan sistem pendidikan negara. Kehidupan Soliman sebagai seorang pastor penuh dengan cabaran. Tanpa kewarganegaraan, beliau tidak dapat memiliki kad pengenalan, memohon pasport, membuka akaun bank, dan pergerakannya sangat terhad, malah di dalam negara sendiri. Gajinya terpaksa dibayar melalui akaun individu lain yang dipercayai. Kini, dengan penganugerahan kewarganegaraan ini, komuniti Kristian di gerejanya ...
