Lynas: Selangor Sepatutnya Sudah Jadi Chernobyl Sekarang Kalau Teori Fuziah Diguna Pakai

ISU pokok yang menjadi punca bantahan Pakatan Rakyat dalam isu Lynas Corporation ini ialah kesan radiasi dan radioaktif yang kononnya dihasil dan dibebaskan oleh kilang tersebut ke persekitaran setempat. Walaupun telah berbuih dibuktikan bahawa Lynas hanyalah sebuah kilang biasa, bukan kilang nuklear tapi pembohongan itu tetap dimain-mainkan berulang kali sehingga ada juga segelintir rakyat yang termakan dengan hasutan tidak berasas itu.

Kalau pun benar Lynas menghasilkan sisa radioaktif yang setaraf dengan sisa nuklear yang biasa dihasilkan loji-loji penjanaan kuasa Nuklear di dunia, kerajaan Malaysia pimpinan BN sebenarnya telah mempunyai deretan rekod yang panjang dalam menguruskan soal sisa nuklear ini.

Kewujudan reaktor nuklear milik Nuklear Malaysia di Bangi sejak tahun 70-an adalah bukti kepada kejayaan kerajaan BN ini. Setakat ini tidak ada seorang kakitangan atau penduduk setempat yang terjejas dengan kesan sampingan yang disebabkan oleh radiasi nuklear seperti yang menjadi tajuk bantahan Pakatan Rakyat terhadap kerajaan dalam isu Lynas.

JIka Pakatan Rakyat benar-benar prihatin dengan masalah kesihatan dan pencemaran ekosistem penduduk setempat, mereka seharusnya telah mengambil tindakan menutup loji Nuklear di Bangi itu sebelum menjuarai isu Lynas di Pahang. Barulah boleh dikatakan mereka ikhlas dalam menjuarai isu ini demi alam sekitar bukan faktor ekonomi.

Tapi mereka tidak melakukannya kerana mereka tahu loji tersebut tidak membahayakan sesiapa sejak mula dibina hingga sekarang.

Fuziah Salleh sebagai ahli Parlimen Kuantan dari PKR juga seharusnya menujukan salakannya terhadap Lynas ini kepada kerajaan Selangor terlebih dahulu, itupun jika benar-benar dia seorang yang ada intergriti dan tidak membantah isu Lynas ini semata-mata kerana kepentingan politik Pakatan Rakyat semata-mata.

Selain loji Nuklear di Bangi, sebuah kilang magnet nadir bumi, Shin Etsu Sdn Bhd juga di Selangor turut terlibat dalam soal pemprosesan bahan dari nadir bumi untuk produk keluarannya sejak 90-an lagi. Kenapa kerajaan Selangor sekarang dan Fuziah sendiri tidak membantah kewujudun kilang tersebut? Adakah kerana ia akan menjejaskan ekonomi Selangor dan pendapatan rakyat Selangor yang akhirnya akan membawa kepada tumbangnya Pakatan Rakyat di Selangor?

Soal ia didirikan oleh atau pada zaman kerajaan Barisan Nasional, itu bukan isu utama. Soal alam sekitar ini (jika benar mengancam masyarakat setempat) bukan ditentukan oleh pihak mana yang membina. Yang penting kalau kerajaan semasa berpendirian produk nadir bumi ini adalah produk radioaktif dan beradiasi, maka mereka harus mengambil keputusan menutupnya.

Apatah lagi yang jelas hasil radioaktif Nuklear di Bangi itu.

Fakta yang penulis dedahkan di atas membuktikan bahawa bantahan Pakatan Rakyat ke atas pembinaan kilang Lynas ini bukan atas sebab alasan kesihatan atau alam sekitar. Sebaliknya ia berkenaan dengan ekonomi negara asal kaum yang paling kuat menentang projek pembinaan Lynas ini. Penulis tidak mahu menyatakan disini kaum yang mana satu tapi jenguk-jenguklah sekitar Himpunan Hijau 2.0 yang berlangsung pada hujung Februari yang lepas, kaum mana yang paling ramai menyertainya.

NFCorp denies buying commercial properties in Bangsar

PETALING JAYA: The National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) has denied purchasing eight commercial properties in Bang-sar using a government soft loan as leverage.

In a two-paragraph statement, the company denied the allegations which were raised by the Opposition.

PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli had claimed that NFCorp executive chairman Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Salleh Ismail had used the funds to obtain loans for eight shoplot units in the new KL Eco City development in Jalan Bangsar.

In a press conference on Wednesday, Rafizi claimed that the shoplot units were worth a forced-sale value of RM9.69mil.

Women, Family and Com-munity Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, who is Dr Mohamad Salleh’s wife, had stated that she was not involved in the KL Eco City project.

NFCorp has been embroiled in controversy after it was revealed that a RM250mil soft loan given by the Government for a national cattle-rearing project was used for unrelated activities.

The Star, 9 March 2012

I am sure that there is a mala fide in the premature accusations on the part of Rafizi, the PKR director of strategy who surely will find nothing good about what is being done by either the government or anyone who succeeded in getting the government project in an effort to produce local 'halal' beef for the 'halal hub' for both the local and international market.

Surely what is being done by National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) is threatening to both the non-Bumiputera and the overseas beef supplier who might see a drastic decrease of number of beef marketed by them if NFCorp could be able to produce 'halal' beef by the Bumiputera farmers since what NFCorp is doing is suppossedly to help the Bumiputera farmers by providing them the facilities to do that in the future.

Some quarters namely the non-Bumiputera and the foreign supplier from overseas are becoming agitated by the presence of NFCorp which had gotten their contract from our Ministry of Agriculture.

Hence, if NFCorp were to fail in their bid to uphold the true mission and vision of the establishment of NFCorp which is to To Lead, Structure, and Transform The Malaysian Cattle Industry Into A World Class Halal Beef Producer, the facilities of the farm and the abattoir will be handed over with much ease to those who have self-interest to see this project fail which could mean they could get the facilities freely without having to spend any cent.

I am sure that some quarters that have some secret liasson with Anwar Ibrahim would be so happy to see this project fail because if it fails, this could mean they could be getting a jackpot from the remaining facilities which could be given to someone else and this could mean another big chuck of commission which could be given to them by whoever is lucky enough to get the facilities if NFCorp were suddenly to be pronounced bancrupt from this fiasco which had been created not in a good intention.

The question I would like to pose is that from whom did Rafizi received his information because the police who is currently investigating this case and the MACC should called the person who had given him that information to ensure that the information is not being made up like some science fiction story just to put NFCorp in the spotlight.

An eye for an eye

Teacher gets 18 years' jail for pupil's death

ALOR STAR: A religious teacher was sentenced to 18 years' jail after he pleaded guilty to culpable homicide not amounting to murder of a 7-year-old pupil last year.

High Court Judicial Commissioner Mohd Zaki Abdul Wahab ordered the sentence against Hanif Mohd Ali, 28, to begin from the day he was detained.

Hanif, who was also a hostel warden, was initially charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murdering Saiful Syazani Saiful Sopfidee at the hostel of Sekolah Rendah Islam Al Furqan in Jejawi, Perlis, between 6pm and midnight on March 31, 2011.

Mohd Zaki reduced the charge to Section 304 (a) of the Penal Code for the same offence on Tuesday after he found that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against the accused under Section 302.

While entering his defence, Hanif pleaded guilty to the lesser charge which provided for a maximum 30 years' jail term upon conviction.

A post-mortem conducted on the victim showed that Saiful Syazani had succumbed to oxygen deficiency to the brain from intense compression to the neck.

A total of 25 witnesses were called to testify.

Deputy public prosecutors Noorin Badaruddin and Nadia Hanim Mohd Tajuddin prosecuted.

Counsels Ariff Azami Hussein, Azizul Shariman Mat Yusoff, Zulmi Sabri and Mohd Fikri Abdul Rahman appeared for Hanif.

New Straits Times, 7 March 2012

A teacher should controlled their emotions when dealing with school children who might not be as matured as they are.

And even though Saiful Syazani Saiful Sopfidee had been accused of stealing money from his classmates, the teacher should have INVESTIGATED the claims thoroughly by calling both sides, namely the accused and the accuser to get the real story since there is always two sides of the coins.

Moreover, the teacher should have been more responsible and called both families of the accused and the accuser to prevent this from occuring.

Therefore, the lame defence by Dari Sungai Derhaka is questionable because there are other civilised ways to settle this matter rather than tying up and beating up this 7-year-old pupil.

I am sure that maybe this teacher Hanif Mohd Ali does not acquire the proper teaching training or qualifications because surely a teacher should also be well-informed on how to investigate this thing without following his emotion but rather by using a disciplined method rather than resorting to tying up or beating the child senseless.

In Islam, if PAS really does want to implement HUDUD, surely you know there is this thing called an eye for an eye.

A life for another lost life! Anyone who kills should be punished by killing as well.

I am a bit perplexed at why criminals will want to cover up their faces after their sentences have been read out or when they are being brought out from the court.

If you are that bold enough to commit the crime without thinking first, why should you be ashamed of what you have done?

LET US ALL SEE YOUR HATEFUL FACE AND SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!

If you hate your son or daughter put them in PASTI

Warden ordered to enter defence over pupil's death

ALOR STAR: The High Court here yesterday ordered a hostel warden to enter his defence to a charge of causing the death of one of his pupils in Jejawi, Perlis, last year.

In making the order, judicial commissioner Mohd Zaki Abdul Wahab ruled that the prosecution had established a prima facie case against Hanif Mohd Ali, 28.

Hanif appeared calm when Zaki issued the order.

Hanif was initially charged with murdering Saiful Syazani Saiful Sopfidee, who was aged 7 then, at the hostel of SR Islam Al Furqan between 6pm and midnight on March 31 last year.

Zaki said the court found that the prosecution had failed to establish a prima facie case against the accused for murder at the end of the prosecution's case.

"However, based on statements from witnesses, the court is satisfied that the accused had caused an injury to the victim, leading to his death.

"This means the prosecution had instead established a prima facie case against the accused for culpable homicide not amounting to murder."

He said a post-mortem examination conducted on the victim showed that Saiful Syazani had succumbed to oxygen deficiency to the brain from intense compression to the neck.

A total of 25 witnesses were called to testify.

Deputy public prosecutors Noorin Badaruddin and Nadia Hanim Mohd Tajuddin prosecuted.

Counsels Ariff Azami Hussein, Azizul Shariman Mat Yusoff, Zulmi Sabri and Mohd Fikri Abdul Rahman appeared for Hanif.

Hanif will enter his defence today.

New Straits Times, 6th March 2012

For those people who only know how to give birth but don't know how to take care of their children, put your children in PASTI.

For those people who do not care about their children's safety that they will allow their underage children to go anywhere alone, put your children in PASTI.

For those people who only know how to satisfy their lust by raping their own flesh and blood, put your children in PASTI.

They will die much faster and go to heaven faster if you feel that they are a burden to you.

But it would be much better for the world if you do not get married or have any children.

Better still, don't get married and don't have children out of wedlock that you have to throw their fragile baby bodies in the dumpster or down from a 20 storey building.

Local grads fall short of employers' expectations

KUALA LUMPUR ( March 4, 2012): Graduates emerging from the Malaysian education system are failing to meet the expectations of prospective employers due to a lack of critical thinking skills and poor communication.

This has resulted in employers having to provide additional training to fit them into their respective job scopes while many graduates have to accept employment that does not correspond with their qualifications.

Malaysian-based education, human resource and recruitment consultants feel there is a need for a sound foundation in critical thinking to be incorporated into the education system to prepare future generations for the employment market.

Manpower Staffing Services (M) Sdn Bhd country manager Sam Haggag said there is a distinct gap between what the Malaysian education system is producing and what employers are looking for.

"This has resulted in six out of 10 graduates from Malaysian universities taking as much as six months to find a job. The other 40 percent take even longer," said Haggag, whose company provides workforce solutions that include recruitment and training.

"Recruitment is a distinct challenge as the universities are churning out graduates who don't have the requisite skills to enter the workforce.

"From the manpower context, we find that seven out of 10 graduates who come to recruitment interviews fail the English [language] competency test set by our clients.

"The lack of proficiency in English limits their ability to communicate beyond the borders of Malaysia and this lowers their confidence and curtails their ability to add value in the workplace," he said in a statement.

Hong Leong Bank chief human resources officer Ramon Chelvarajasingam said many of the new graduates emerging from the Malaysian education system lack the critical thinking skills required to keep up in a world that is constantly changing and becoming increasingly competitive.

"New technologies and methodologies are forcing people to operate beyond their comfort zone. In our competitor nations, the young professionals are more advanced in critical thinking, innovation, thinking out of the box and have continuous development initiatives compared within Malaysia," he pointed out.

He added that today, most employers are looking for graduates with a high level of confidence who are exposed to niche areas outside of their academic studies.

"These new graduates won't give you textbook answers, but will, through their answers, display a global mindset and show understanding of moving trends in the world. Employers are usually prepared to pay a higher salary to get these 'global associates' onboard," Ramon said.

Prospect Consulting Sdn Bhd director Nina Adlan, who provides advisory services to educational institutions aiming to set up branch campuses in Malaysia, said she has observed 'a disconnect' between what graduates put down on their curriculum vitae and what they are like in reality.

"When we hire, we consider the way graduates converse and portray themselves to be more important than what's in the CV. What's the point in having good academic results when they can't communicate, can't conduct a proper conversation and have no confidence?" she said.

Haggag said one reason for the lack of confidence evident in young graduates is that educational institutions are not placing enough focus on equipping undergraduates with skills that will enable them to think out of the box and adapt to the demands of the working world.

"Among the reasons why those emerging from local education system do not meet employers' standards is the system itself. It is not dissimilar from that of the UK, which is teacher-centric and focuses on rote learning and swotting and places less emphasis on practical application. The system also focuses on individual achievement and less on team performance, so there aren't many opportunities for students to acquire interactive skills.

"It's the same in Malaysia, where the system is biased towards those who do well in exams, which is not necessarily the best way to gauge their employability," he added.

Ramon said education institutions need to create a 'learning environment' that combines an experiential approach and exposure to knowledge that extends beyond the scope of academic theory.

"Textbook stuff doesn't help them face the challenges of businesses that are constantly evolving. They need to be exposed to changing trends and behaviours, and to be taught skills like creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving and adaptability.

"They also need to be taught how to be globally aware, which is how to link what they learn to what is happening around the world," he said.

Nina said if Malaysia is to produce more employable graduates with creative and problem-solving skills, all parties involved in education should work together to create a culture that places a high value on critical thinking and creativity to replace the current one which focuses on information transfer and academic results.

She pointed out that graduates who attend interviews more often than not are asked questions which require them to "think out of the box" which requires critical thinking ability.

An Internet check on the most frequently asked interview questions provides an insight into the "real world" out there.

With questions such as: What do you look for in a job? Why should we hire you? Define success at work? How do you feel that your education has prepared you for this job? to Why is a manhole cover round? Nina said the grounding, for the future generation to handle these and other questions and to be in a position to handle work situations without having to literally flip through a manual (if there is one), is to lay a strong foundation at the school level for them to be able to come up with strategies and solutions that can be unique and appropriate for each situation.

This, she insisted, would help pave the way to achieve Malaysia's quest to become a developed nation with the necessary manpower that would meet the industries' and the country's requirements. – Bernama

It's good that the PPSMI policy is being scrapped off to give way to 'Memartabatkan Bahasa Malaysia Dan Memperkukuhkan Penguasaan Bahasa Inggeris'(MBMMBI) so that the lay people out there will be worst in their proficiency in English.

Moreover, all the sons and daughters of all of the Pak Menteri's can be sent to overseas to study whatever they want in English.

Just leave the rest of us losers who don't have so much money to rot here and die.

Whatever it is, I support whatever policy that will make the Malays lose out more to the other races which can speak in their own mother tongue, as well as in Malay and English language.

Only the Malays will lose out if they can only converse in Malay and understand Malay.

This is because you will not understand a crap about what the non-Malays are saying about us in the English newspapers or their English blogs.

Anwar mushy mushy

Before

Anwar is one mushy gay old fart. He can't make up his mind where he wants to be.

Today he's A, tomorrow he's B, in the near future he's C.

From Abim to UMNO to one eyed Illuminati, now he's openly supporting the 'Yahudi'.

After

He's a worst flip-flop than Pak Lah, the one who likes to sleep.

Can we trust this person Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim? I bet he will sell his own mother if he has the chance to do it.

He's the kind of person who likes sodomy but PAS is okay with butt fucking as long as they can get from him some funding.

Moreover, PAS allowed their members to fuck their wives in the butt. That's why they are in the unholy alliance with a sodomiser.

With DAP anything goes because they are communists who before independence have gone on a killing spree.

PAS and PKR are only stepping stones for DAP to rule Malaysia as the real Prime Minister.

That is why DAP is cooperating with those motherfucker.

Will Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Khoo Kay Kim please stand up?

'Hang Tuah was my forefather'

Mohd Khalid Husin claims he is a descendant of legendary warrior Hang Tuah

KUALA LUMPUR : THE saying "do not anger your ancestors" carries extra weight for Mohd Khalid Husin as one of his distant forefathers was none other than the legendary warrior, Hang Tuah , or so he claims.

Khalid, 50, claimed that he and with his relatives were the descendants of Tun Perak, who was Hang Tuah's father-in-law.

"My late grandmother told me when I was a boy that our family was descendants from these historical figures."

Khalid, who lived in the same village as Hang Tuah (Kampung Duyung), said it was through word of mouth that the knowledge of his family's lineage was preserved.

He claimed that after Malacca had fallen to the Portuguese in 1511, the immediate family members of high-ranking officials, such as Bendahara Tun Perak and Hang Tuah, fled to avoid persecution.

"The Portuguese soldiers would kill anyone they believed to be Hang Tuah's kin, including those who were affiliated with Tun Perak.

"Those who remained kept the memories of their forefathers alive through word of mouth."

Khalid's family had also kept a salasilah or a lineage record, which detailed their ancestors' names.

"There are almost 100 names on our salasilah, starting with Tun Sedang followed by Tun Kudu, Tun Perak and Tun Perpatih Puteh.

"My late grandmother's name is Haji Puteh," he told the New Straits Times yesterday.

Khalid claimed that the original salasilah was finally written down in document-form during the British colonial era, and that the one they had constantly updated was only a copy.

Khalid had also formed the Persatuan Sejarah dan Warisan Melayu Duyung, or Duyung History and Malay Heritage Association (Pesawad) in 2010, which he is the president of, in the hope to locate others who were also the descendants of Hang Tuah and Tun Perak.

"Hang Tuah was married and had children.

"After more than 500 years, there is bound to be a number of us scattered around the region."

He said he had met with the others from all over the country, including Selangor, Johor and Singapore, adding that sometimes if the "connection was strong" between a seemingly distant relative, the sensation from a mere handshake was enough to convince him that the other person was also a blood kin.

He also alleged that some of his cousins and extended family members had kept heirlooms -- trinkets and artifacts -- from the days of the Malaccan Sultanate.

"My cousin, who is also a descendant living in Singapore, has an old kris, which he said was passed from generation to generation after Tun Perak."

Khalid also said that his grandfather had a copy of an "original" Hikayat Hang Tuah (The Hang Tuah Epic).

"It was passed down from one generation to another, before my grandfather got his hands on it."

Khalid said that, however, his grandfather had given the artifact to his brother in 1936.

"The contents were written in Jawi and the book was very old."

When asked where was the book now, he claimed that his cousin had "given" the artifact to the National Archives because its condition was deteriorating.

Khalid said he had announced his claims to members of the public when he formed Pesawad, but, so far, no one had come forward to investigate or argue with him with regards to Hang Tuah's existence.

"I welcome historians or academics to come and study or debate my family's lineage."

The New Straits Times, 28th January 2012

I hope the loud mouthed Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Khoo Kay Kim will take up the challenge. Or is he afraid of the truth that might be revealed if he does take up the challenge?

Since he is so adamant that the whole thing is a myth, he should not be afraid to prove that it is a myth and not something real.

Any Malay historians or academicians willing to study Mohd Khalid Husin claims? This is your chance to prove that Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Khoo Kay Kim is wrong when he made statements that Hang Tuah is a myth.
