Interestingly, even some Muslims don’t believe that it will not apply to non-Muslims.

For the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to congratulate Umno on its 71st anniversary is uncalled for. The MACC is a government body and its budget is from public funds. Its job includes ensuring that Umno officers and members are not involved in corrupt practices.

Red-shirt leader Jamal Md Yunos’s condemnation of Muslim politicians who do not support Hadi’s hudud bill as “devils” sounds very much like a ‘fatwa’.

Five full days after Maria Chin Abdullah’s arrest under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma), the inspector-general of police (IGP) tells us that she was arrested “following the discovery of ‘documents’ during a raid at the Bersih office in Petaling Jaya last week”.

Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor (Ku Nan) is playing out a very low class drama by stating that Umno is studying footage of the rally to identify its members who took part in the rival Bersih 5 and red-shirt rallies. They will be brought before the Umno disciplinary board, he said.

While I would like to say syabas to the ordinary mata-matas on the ground who dared to scuffle with a datuk and stop him from accomplishing his so-called jihad against the yellow-shirted Bersih in Ampang, I wonder whether the inspector-general of police (IGP) will pull these policemen up and ask them to show cause why they did not stop Jamal Md Yunos and his entourage from carrying out their objective.

Sarawak is the land of the hornbills. West Malaysia has become the land of the red-shirts.

It behooves the transport minister to come clean and tell the public why Section 42 of the Road Transport Act is not being used on the Mat Rempits. Is it because the mandatory fine of not less than RM5,000.00 for the first offence is too harsh, as those unable to pay will have to serve time in prison, and that may cost the government some votes? Why is the government giving them face?

It was recently reported that in Perak alone, over 800 school children have suffered food poisoning so far this year. This whopping figure was disclosed by the Perak Health director Dr Juita Ghazalie. She must be exasperated with this state of affairs. On average, that is about 100 children per month.

What a great business idea from the former Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) deputy chief commissioner Zakaria Jaffar who is now chairperson of the Yayasan Anti-Rasuah Malaysia (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Foundation or YARM).

A letter to Unesco on Sia Boey has raised the ire of the Penang state authorities. This proposed site for the transport hub is just across the 12m-wide Jalan Dr Lim Chwee Leong (formerly Prangin Road) from the Heritage Zone. Furthermore, excavations at the site have unearthed artefacts of historical significance and Unesco may want to make it part of the heritage zone, for the good, not bad, of Penang.

The fruits are ripening and the harvest has started. If the fruits are bad, don’t blame those who had no control over the farms or orchards. Those who must bear the blame for producing a bad harvest are the farmers.

Ketuanan is raising its ugly head everywhere nowadays. It’s message is the same - the non-Malays, non-Muslims are lower class citizens and must respect the ‘sensitivities’ of the Malays /Muslims which cover an unlimited area, as decided on the spur of the moment according to the whims and fancies of little Napoleons, muftis, preachers, teachers, etc.

What Pahang mufti Abdul Rahman Osman has done is allegedly to pass a religious death sentence on people he deems kafir harbi, and hudud is not implemented yet. What will happen if hudud gets implemented? Has he got legal authority and impunity to do so?

Our politicians never tire of entertaining us. The latest to do so is Langkawi MP Nawawi Ahmad who told Malaysians that his salary is not paid by the people but is from the government and that public funds did not belong to the people.

As has been aptly pointed out by some concerned people, Abdul Hadi Awang’s ‘Hudud Bill’ is the first small step, or a stepping stone, to more to come, little by little, as time passes.
