Emmanuel Joseph on Nurul Izzah's appointment

By Emmanuel Joseph

OK so Izzah is a three term ex MP in 2 states, leader of several international NGOs and think tanks and a trained engineer who also has a Masters in ASEAN and international relations, former founding member, 23 year veteran VP of a party and headed 3 different States and formerly was the face of the party struggle, rejected appointments when her party won 3 elections in Selangor, 1 election in Negeri Sembilan and 1 Federal Elections and appointments when her mother was DPM.

So you had no problems with her shouldering all that work for free, for 23 years.

Now you have a problem with her father appointing her as a glorified office helper with an official name and no official pay.

Same people were moaning and crying when she refused a post Dr M wanted to appoint her to (that TVET thing in 2018), now equating her with parachute politicians, overpaid empty posts, overnight President's daughters and such.

Look, I agree with no nepotism lah. But I mean when the same people been championing her as the new PM la, great woman leader lah, new face of PKR la, but when her she actually comes to the forefront, all hell breaks loose. I get it coming from civil society, its their job to make noise, its their job to preach idealism.

Can ask the Penang civil societies, even if you give them a zero emission train that flies silently from island to mainland and is powered by the tears of whipped capitalists and that generates gold bars to throw at passing migrants and stateless children, they will still still find something to complain about the train's gender expression.

What I don't get is the noise coming from the same PH uncle auntie crowd who wanted her to replace the father, wanted her, Rafizi and KJ to open the dream team club of misplaced bitcoin youth, who was using her as the poster child, poster teen, poster young adult and poster mum of ideal perjuangan while they ship their children off to study at first opportunity overseas, then tell them not to come back.

See this habit and whiter than white attitude out of the Rolex-wearing, Merc-driving Seasonal PH Supporters Club of Mont Kiara, Desa Parkcity and Australia is why PH cannot rule long and why people keep going back to proven, known, stable but broken system. You all can take your holier-than-thou attitude, find that zero emission gender neutral train, and f- it.

IN ALL FOUR LANGUAGES: Ampun Tuanku, Kerajaan Madani sekarang dalam pandangan saya…

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 ...
