VIDEO I am who I am - Namewee

This is Namewee's latest song. He apologizes for being impulsive but says he will always be true to his art - he is who he is. Lyrics English/Malay/Chinese below.



我還是我
Aku Tetap Aku
I am Who I am

我的名字 叫明志 這個自我介紹方式
Izinkan ku memperkenalkan diriku, nama saya ialah Namewee
My name is Namewee this is how I introduce myself
從小老師 就認為我是想要惹事
Sejak kecil lagi, cikgu ingatkan ku seorang yang suka buat hal
My teachers always thought I was looking for trouble
我熱愛文字 我討厭公式 我不想面對考試
Aku suka menulis, aku benci formula dan ujian sekolah
I love literature but I hate the school system and all its exams
我更討厭你規定我的頭髮款式
Aku lagi tak suka jika sesiapa komen kat style rambut ku
I get annoyed when people comment on my hair style
我的思考方式 沒有人能夠抑制
Pemikiran style aku, tiada orang boleh Ubahi
I was born with a mind that is beyond the control of others
大人都固執的怪我固執 不懂事
Orang dewasa anggap aku ni degil dan tak matang
Adult always blamed me for being stubborn & naive
我明白 待人處事都有 它的模式
Aku tahu memang ada pelbagai caranya berurusan
I realized our society has its way of life
但不代表 全部人都要變成孔子
Tapi ia tak bermakna semua orang harus menjadi Konfusius
But that doesn’t mean all of us must become Confucius

十五歲 那年初我染上音樂的毒
Pada umur 15 tahun, aku discover muzik
Age of 15 I discovered the joy of music
我透過音符 來降低我內心的無助
Nota nota membantu ku lalui masa yang tak berdaya
Through its notes I find ways to express my thoughts
我學習美術 但依然無法省悟
Aku cuba belajari seni tetapi ia tak membantu
I tried picking up art but it could not hold my inner feelings
是孤獨創造梵谷 還是梵谷創造孤獨
Adalah kesepian mencipta Van Gogh ataupun Van Gogh yang menciptakan kesepian?
Was loneliness created Van Gogh or Van Gogh created loneliness?
中學畢業後 華人得自求多福
Tamat sekolah menengah, kebanyakkan orang cina mencari rezeki di luar Negara
Upon finishing high school Chinese must find ways to further their studies
揮揮衣袖 我決定要到台灣留宿
Akhirnya, aku pun membuat keputusan untuk menginap di Taiwan
Faced with challenges I decided to pursue my education in Taiwan
爸爸媽媽不要擔心 我不會辜負
Ayah, mak jangan risau. Ku takkan buat kamu kecewa
Don’t worry mom and dad I promise not to fail you
等我讀完書 一定會回到歸屬
Habis belajar nanti, mesti saya balik ke Negara tercinta
I will return to my beloved home when I graduate
我會好好過 我必須好好過
Ku akan hidup dengan baik
I will be fine I must stay strong
想家的時候 我就打開電腦拼命創作
Apabila rindu kat keluarga, ku akan terus cipta lagu
When I lone for home I turn on my PC and started writing
牆壁上的大馬國旗 是我的寄託
Bendera Malaysia yang gantung kat dinding menjadi inspirasi ku
My Malaysian flag on the wall keeping my spirit alive
床頭的那張全家福 總是讓我振作
Gambar keluarga kat tepi katil tetap membuatkan ku lebih tabah
My family portrait beside my bed keeping my strong
一個人 在外國 要獨立生活
Seorang hidup di luar Negara, ku mesti lebih gagah
As a foreigner living in a strange country I learn to become independent
我做過很多工作 我面對很多數落
Aku buat banyak kerja sambilan, ku hadap banyak gagalan
I took up many jobs to pay my bills and tuition fees
無論再辛苦 還有音樂陪著我
Tak semestinya betapa susahnya, ku masih ditemani muzik
When times were tough at least I still had my music with me
我理想沒有變 因為我 還是我
Impian ku tidak berubah, kerana aku tetap aku
My dream did not change, I am still who I am

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
Aku akan berusaha mencapai impian ku sendiri
I have my own dream I will keep going
就算再寂寞
walaupun sunyi
Even it’s a lonely path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Maafkan impuls aku, aku akan hidup dengan baik-baik
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
Aku tak takut hujan lebat membanjiri ku
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
Aku tetap akan berusaha
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Wakaupun jalan ini agak sukar tapi aku tak akan putus asa
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am

2007 年 那是個遲來的夏天
Tahun 2007, itu musim panas yang datang agak lewat
Summer came late in the year 2007
改編國歌事件 讓我人生從此改變
Mengubah lagu negaraku membuatkan hidupan ku berubah
My life was forever changed with my national anthem song
透過網際網絡 我闖了禍
Melalui internet, aku menghadapi masalah
I got into trouble through the cyber space
但我堅持沒有犯錯 有人 說我叛國
Aku disalah fahami dan ada orang kata aku ni pengkhidnat negara
I was misunderstood and got accused of betraying my country
有人 想幹掉我 有人 說不讓我回國
Ada yang tak bagi aku balik ke Negara, ada yang ingin bunuh aku
My life was threaten and I even was told I cannot come home
要我磕頭認錯 政客趁機出頭
Saya dipaksa mengaku salah, orang kuat semua keluar menunjuk muka
I was pushed into the limelight by influential people trying to gain fame
媒體還配合炒作 世界 各地的記者call我
Pihak media dari seluruh dunia tak berhenti call saya
Media got into the action and suddenly international reporters started calling me
我必須學會沉著
Aku mesti tabah
I had to learn to stay calm
謠言越來越多 讓人陷入惶恐
Gosip angin semakin banyak, membuatkan ku makin risau
Rumours started flowing and my heart started pounding
甚至 還有人把偷渡路線圖 send給我
Saya juga terima peta haram tunjuk aku hilangkan diri
I even received maps with international escape routes
爸爸媽媽 對不起 不要難過
Ayah mak, ku minta maaf .. Janganlah kamu sedih
Sorry mom and dad please don’t be sad
牆壁上的國旗 我從來沒有拆過
Bendera Malaysia di dinding tidak pernah saya turunkan
I have not taken down the flag hanging in my bedroom
我破了千萬點閱 也上了各大版面
Youtube ku ditonton berjuta orang, gambarku juga dipampar dalam banyak surat khabar
My youtube video broke records and my face made newspaper covers
有人喜歡有人討厭面臨輿論考驗
Ada orang suka dan ada orang benci. Aku mengahadapi ujian yang sukar ini
I got cheered and got booed I must learn to face the music now
我的故事 被文學家 寫進了書
Kisah aku dicatat oleh penulis buku
My story was documented into a book
我的臉 還被人畫成了 卡通人物
Muka aku dilukis sebagai kartoon
My face even got drawn into cartoon characters
再多褒與貶 都已經事過境遷
Banyak pujiaan dan hinaan ku alami, tapi ia bukan segalanya
I wished that all the fame and criticism would die down some day
畢業後的我 決定勇敢面對誤解
Lepas ku tamatkan pengajian, aku membuat keputusan menghadapi semua salah faham
Upon graduation I decided to return to my beloved country
我用陸路 交通跨越六個國度
Ku menggunakan jalan darat dan melepasi 6 Negara untuk balik ke Negara cinta
With only land routes I walked across 6 countries to come home
拍攝紀錄 沿途上的驚險 和領悟
Ku merakamkan sepanjang jalan yang meliputi ketakutaan dan kesedaran
I even shot a documentary on my challenging journey
一步步 很艱苦 終於回到大馬領土
Ia satu perjalanan yang sukar tetapi akhirnya ku berjaya balik ke Negara tercinta
Thought every step was tought I finally came home to Malaysia
被拍照 被訪問 還被叫到警察總部
Pihak media tangkap gambar ku, ada temu duga dan aku juga dipanggil ke balai polis
I got called to police station and faced many media interviews
雖然 你們都把我 當成公眾人物
Walaupun banyak anggap ku sebagai orang famous
Even though most think of me as public personality
但我必須穩住 要保持個人創作元素
Tapi aku mesti tabah, aku mesti tetap dengan ciptaan lagu ku
But I stayed true to myself to retain my creative art

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
Aku akan berusaha mencapai impian ku sendiri
I have my own dream I will keep going
就算再寂寞
walaupun sunyi
Even it’s a lonely path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Maafkan impuls aku, aku akan hidup dengan baik-baik
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
Aku tak takut hujan lebat membanjiri ku
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
Aku tetap akan berusaha
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Wakaupun jalan ini agak sukar tapi aku tak akan putus asa
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am

有人說 我的作品荼毒青年思想
Ada orang marah hasil lagu ku mencemarkan fikiran remaja
People criticized my songs for poisoning the younger generation
有人說 我的頭腦都在胡思亂想
Ada orang mengata otak ku memikirkan perkara yang bukan-bukan
Some said my mind is full of dirty thoughts
說我亂講 說我是社會毒瘤發癢
Mengatakan aku ni merosakan moral masyarakat
That I have bad morel in the civil society
還怪我 變成他兒子的偶像
Ada juga yang mengalahkan ku jadi idola kepada anaknya
Some just blamed me for becoming his son’s idol
面對攻擊 我早就已經習慣
Aku dah biasa menghadapi semua halangan ini
I am used to faced difficult situations
保持沉默微笑 是我最好的答案
Menjadi keheningan sambil senyum adalah jawapan yang ku bagi
Keeping silent is my best defense and response
裝模作樣 從來就 不是我的強項
Aku tak suka menjadi kikuk depan orang
Putting a fake face is never an option for me
但我出門逛逛 卻要偽偽裝裝
Sekarang aku keluar, susah sangat boleh menjadi diri sendiri lagi
I can no longer be myself when I go out
我的email 每天都有人來 訴苦
Tiap-tiap hari aku terima email dari orang lain tuk mengeluh
People write to me pleading for help everyday
但我愛莫能助因為我不是 政府
Tapi aku tak berupaya kerana aku bukan pihak kerajaan
I just cannot do much because I am not the government
你們來我facebook 鼓勵我 詆毀我
Ada yang mendorong ku di facebook dan ada juga yang menghina ku
Some come to my Facebook supporting and slandering me
我不刪除因為那是言論自由淨土
Aku tak delete komen-komen kerana ini adalah kebebasan bicara semua
I didn’t delete because it is their freedom of speech
我想要讓你聽見 讓你看見
Aku nak bagi kau dengar, aku nak bagi kau Nampak
I want you to listen and I want you to see
我想說的話 我的電影 和我的音樂
Apa yang ingin ku ucapkan, filem ku, dan muzik ku
The messages I convey through my voice, my film and my music
徘徊尺度邊緣 自由自在的暢所欲言
Adalah kebebasan bicara
Walking the fine line in freedom of speech
那是主流媒體 永遠看不到的世界
Inilah tempat yang tidak boleh diperjuangkan oleh mainstream media
Which is something the mainstream media can never understand
我站在不 同的的角度我不會停下腳步
Aku memandang dunia dari pelbagai sudut dan tidak akan berhentikan langkahku
I stand from a different point and I will not stop
這條思路 是老天送給我的禮物
Jalan pemikiran saya adalah hadiah khas dari tuhan
This path is a gift from god
你說我糊塗 你甚至想要把我說服
Kau mengatakan aku bingung, malah kau ingin menyakinkan ku dengan ayatmu
You claimed that I am lost and want to brainwash me
對不起我 還是我那就是我的態度
Minta maaf, aku tetap aku. Inilah sikap ku
Sorry, I am still who I am, and this is my attitude
在Kuala Lumpur 開始了新的生活
Aku memulakan kehidupan baru di Kuala Lumpur
I am starting new life in Kuala Lumpur
這裡人潮洶湧 馬路坑坑洞洞
Terdapat ramai orang telah terkorban di jalan raya yang berlubang-lubang
It is crowded here and the roads are full of potholes
一不小心 我可能會在這裡失控
Saya rasa ku juga mungkin akan hilang control di sini
If I’m not careful things may just get out of control
這條路 很難走 但我已經 沒有回頭
Jalan ini agak sukar untuk berjalan, tetapi aku sudah tiada pilihan lain
The path is not easy but I do not have a choice anymore

(我還是我 我還是我)
(Aku tetap aku aku masih aku)
Because I am still who I am

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
Aku akan berusaha mencapai impian ku sendiri
I have my own dream and I will go for it
就算再寂寞
walaupun sunyi
Even it is a lone path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Maafkan impuls aku, aku akan hidup dengan baik-baik
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
Aku tak takut hujan lebat membanjiri ku
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
Aku tetap akan berusaha
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Wakaupun jalan ini agak sukar tapi aku tak akan putus asa
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
(percayalah, aku tetap aku)

Royalti : Tok guru pondok bermunajat di Mekah

Exco perancangan ekonomi, kewangan dan kebajikan Kelantan, Datuk Husam Musa menyeru rakyat bersama-sama bermunajat bersama 40 ulamak serta tok guru pondok dari seluruh pelusuk negeri berhubung isu kes tuntutan royalti minyak daripada Petronas, lapor Suara Keadilan.

Husam menerusi twitternya berkata sebuah laman web, http://www.munajatroyalti.com/ serta laman sosial facebook - www.facebook.com/pages/Misi-Munajat-Royalti-Rakyat telah diwujudkan bagi rakyat melayari dan seterusnya menyatakan sokongan mereka kepada usaha itu.

Menurut laman itu, kutipan derma telah dilancarkan bagi menampung kos membawa 40 ulamak serta tok guru pondok dari seluruh Kelantan untuk bermunajat secara khusus selama 40 hari dan 40 waktu di Mekah.

Majlis membaca doa dan beribadah di kota suci itu bertujuan untuk memberi sokongan spiritual kepada seluruh rakyat negeri itu berhubung tuntutan berkenaan.

"40 ulamak dan tok guru pondok dari seluruh Kelantan akan bermunajat untuk memohon kerahmatan dan kesejahteraan khusus buat rakyat negeri Kelantan semuanya dan untuk seluruh rakyat Malaysia amnya.

"Tujuan kami adalah untuk mempertahankan dan memartabatkan kepimpinan ulamak, alim ulama dan ahli agama di dalam kehidupan hal ehwal seharian kita sebagai umat Islam," menurut laman itu.

Tuntutan royalti minyak Kelantan dianggarkan bernilai lebih RM800 juta setahun sejak 2005 dan sehingga tahun ini jumlah terkumpul dianggarkan sebanyak RM4.8 bilion.

Kerajaan negeri Kelantan mendakwa Petronas melanggar Akta Pembangunan Petroleum (PDA) 1974 kerana tidak membayar royalti, hasil daripada minyak dan gas di perairannya dan di kawasan laut yang bertindih di antara Kelantan - Thailand, Kelantan - Vietnam dan Kelantan - Terengganu.

Berikutan dinafikan royalti minyak itu, Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat telah memfailkan saman terhadap Petronas di Mahkamah Tinggi Kuala Lumpur pada 30 Ogos lalu.

Perkasa, Utusan all riled up over Nik Aziz's statement

KOTA BHARU, Sept 20 : PAS Murshidul Am Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat’s statement that he was proud to be a Muslim but not a Malay has drawn reactions from the usual group of people, namely Perkasa and its mouthpiece, Utusan Malaysia.

The Malay daily, known for its extensive coverage dedicated to the issue of Malay dominance, suggested that the Kelantan Menteri Besar had forsaken the fight for Malays.

"While there are efforts to eliminate special rights of Malays, Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said he was not proud of being a Malay," said the staunchly right-wing UMNO-owned Mingguan Malaysia, Utusan's weekend edition.

Its political cartoon column, Senyum Kambing, also took issue with Nik Aziz's statement.

For his part, Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali said he was not surprised with Nik Aziz’s statement, saying the latter had revealed his true identity as someone who used religion to attract non-Malay voters.

At a dialogue-cum-Hari Raya gathering with journalists recently, Nik Aziz said a Muslim's Islamic identity was more important than his race.

“I am not proud to be Malay. Race comes automatically and in Islam there is no longer (the issue of) race,” he was quoted as saying.

He said the Kelantan state government had spent RM7 million to build a mosque based on Chinese architecture in Rantau Panjang in its effort to rid the problem of racism in society.

Meanwhile, Nik Aziz’s press secretary Ahmad Fadhli Shaari chided Utusan’s failure to grasp "such simple statement".

“What Tuan Guru Nik Aziz is saying was I’m not proud to be Malay, but I am proud to be Muslim. All sane people know how to evaluate the statement. It seems that Mingguan Malaysia does not belong to the group,” he quipped.

Kelantan perlukan Nik Aziz

KOTA BHARU - Timbalan Pesuruhjaya Pas III Negeri, Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah menyifatkan kepimpinan, Menteri Besar, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat berjaya dan masih diperlukan dalam Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13 (PRU-13) nanti.

Beliau yang juga Exco Kerajaan Negeri bagaimanapun berkata, keputusan akhir sama ada Nik Aziz bertanding atau tidak bergantung kepada ahli dan parti yang mempunyai kuasa pemutus untuk mencalonkan seseorang individu dalam parti.

“Kita serah kepada ahli dan parti untuk buat keputusan, cuma secara peribadi parti masih memerlukan khidmat dan penyertaan Tok Guru untuk memimpin dari segi moral dan fizikal jika dia sanggup untuk berkhidmat,” katanya ketika ditemui di sini, semalam.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika mengulas kenyataan Nik Aziz yang menyerahkan kepada parti untuk menentukan kewajaran sama ada beliau bertanding atau tidak dalam PRU akan datang.

Mengulas isu yang sama semalam, Ketua Pembangkang Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN), Datuk Md Alwi Che Amat dilaporkan berkata, Kelantan memerlukan Menteri Besar yang boleh menggerakkan pentadbiran negeri dengan cekap dan bukan sekadar mendengar taklimat sahaja.

Menurutnya, kenyataan Nik Aziz tersebut sekadar helah politik sedangkan beliau boleh menyatakan dengan jelas pendirian beliau sama ada mahu dicalonkan ataupun tidak

Dalam pada itu, Mohd Amar yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan (DUN) Negeri Panchor berkata, alasan yang dibuat sesetengah pihak bahawa Nik Aziz tidak lagi berkeupayaan untuk memimpin kerana keuzuran tidak boleh diterima.

“Alasan (uzur) itu tidak boleh diterima, jika dilihat sebelum ini ada menteri dan Menteri Besar yang lain lebih uzur tetapi masih lagi mampu menjalankan tugas dengan baik,” katanya.

Nik Aziz lawat keluarga Sosilawati

GOMBAK, 20 Sept : Menteri Besar Kelantan, Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat hari ini meluangkan masa menziarahi sendiri keluarga jutawan kosmetik, Allahyarhamuha Datuk Sosilawati Rawiya yang mati dibunuh kejam bersama tiga rakannya minggu lalu.

Nik Aziz yang diiringi Naib Presiden PAS, Salahuddin Ayub meluangkan masa-masa kira-kira setengah jam bertemu dengan keluarga allahyarhamuha termasuk bekas suaminya, Buhari Muhammad yang menyambut baik kedatangan mereka.

Mursyidul Am PAS itu turut mengucapkan takziah di atas kematian Sosilawati dan berharap keluarganya bersabar menerima ujian tersebut.

"Saya mewakili rakyat Kelantan mengucapkan takziah kepad keluarga dan mudah-mudahan keluarga arwah bersabar menerima ujian ini.

"Arwah mati teraniaya jadi kita minta dosa-dosanya Allah ampunkan dan pahalanya dilipat gandakan," katanya kepada pemberita di perkarangan rumah arwah selepas pertemuan tersebut.

Tambahnya juga, setiap manusia yang masih hidup diseru untuk melawat keluarga sesiapa sahaja yang meninggal dunia sebagai tanda prihatin dan mengurangkan kesedihan yang terpaksa ditanggung keluarga.

"Apabila berlaku kematian, kita diminta melawat sebagai tanda takziah.

"Kita melawat ertinya kita bercakap-cakap sesuatu yang boleh menenangkan hati keluarga samaada nak bawa wang atau nak bercakap sahaja, itu menjadi kewajipan orang Islam lebih-lebih lagi bila berlaku kematian tragis seperti ini, lagilah mustahak untuk kita datang melawat," katanya lagi.

Beliau turut mengingatkan bahawa setiap manusia perlu menyiapkan diri untuk menghadapi kematian dengan mengerjakan segala amalan soleh di dunia ini sebagai bekalan untuk akhirat.

"Kita ini kepunyaan Allah, Allah bagi nyawa dan Allah juga yang ambil nyawa kita. Kewajipan masa hidup ini kita siapkan bekalan untuk masuk kubur, bukan dengan duit, makanan, tapi dengan pahala dan doa kita," ujarnya.

Sementara itu, Buhari yang terharu dengan kunjungan Nik Aziz dan Salahuddin itu merakamkan ucapan terima kasih di atas kunjungan tersebut.

In defense of Lee Kuan Yew : Don't be 'Bodoh Sombong'

Malaysian leaders including Mahathir slammed Kuan Yew

Dinesweri Puspanadan, Malaysia Chronicle

For days now, the media has been filled with remarks and criticism channeled against Lee Kuan Yew, Minister Mentor of Singapore, for his remarks about Malaysia during his interview with New York Times. Despite the fact that he actually shared many mind-striking thoughts, as usual, some Malaysians still chose to slam LKY and blamed him for 'trying to disrupt the unity' in Malaysia.

But let’s call a spade as spade. Malaysia has experienced an 81 percent drop in FDI and is suffering from a disastrous deficit to the extent that subsidies have to be removed. Even neighboring countries which were not in the race before are picking up the momentum and registering higher FDI than us. Foreign investors and economists have warned that Malaysia needs to change its policies and be more flexible in order to improve its economy. Some even hint that Malaysia is going the way of Greece.

The latest QS Asian University Rankings 2010 shows that Malaysia's premier university was kicked out from the top 200 rankings, signaling a decline in the standards and international standing of Malaysian public universities. It is time to admit this bitter truth that we are not developing talents but making them leave for green pastures both economically and socially. Statistics on brain drain alarms everyone as the number of students leaving this country is beefing up each year.

The phenomenon of racism is rampant. Many do not hesitate to slam the Chinese and Indians by labeling them as 'Pendatang' whenever they speak up on the government's policies and call for equality. They are shut up with rusty and baseless rhetoric, the most popular being Article 153, 'Ketuanan Melayu' and 'Special Rights'. To our disappointment, those from the top right down to the bottom of the government who are barking about this are clueless and constitutionally illiterate. Why refuse any transformation? Don’t they know that implementing policies which surpass other ethnic groups are just another form of racial discrimination?

Freedom of speech and basic human rights are surpassed in the name of preserving unity among Malaysians. Where is the rationale if we do not have the right to talk, argue, and justify the issues and if we do so, draconian law like ISA used to 'mute' our voices?

Now, turning back to Lee Kuan Yew. With this current situation in Malaysia (and there still many not mentioned yet), do you still believe that he was wrong and his allegations were baseless?

Isn’t it time to admit the truth that we are marginalized according to race and our basic rights are axed? Malaysia may seem to stand proud in the eyes of the world with skyscrapers and other landscapes but only we know the truth that some of these are failed white elephant projects. Beneath this fake pride, hardcore poverty, incompetent graduates, corrupted administration, and politicians with narrowed minds are engulfing this nation and hindering its growth.

There is nothing wrong in considering LKY's remarks with an open mind. Why don’t we learn from Singapore instead of keep bashing them with baseless allegations? Are we better than Singapore in every aspect? Tepuk dada tanyalah selera.

Malaysian leaders seldom fail to introduce policies and slogans like 'Wawasan 2020','Malaysia Boleh', ' 1Malaysia', 'zero tolerance' - you name it. But without walking the talk. If Malaysians are still in denial and blame LKY as though he is bombarding us with 'false facts', then sorry to say that we will remain as jackasses and puppets who are only 'Jaguh Kampung'.

It does not require a person to study economics to be able to make sense of and analyze the contemporary status of Malaysia. What you need to do is to 'think'. Give a hit to that rotten brain and do the thinking at least now. It is better to be late than never. It is the time for us to be humble and learn from successful nations how to move forward, rather than being 'Bodoh Sombong'!

'Buah Cempedak di luar pagar,
Ambil galah tolong jolokkan,
Saya budak baru belajar,
Kalau salah tolong tunujukkan'

Penulis Facebook ‘Melayu babi’ tidak matang

KUALA TERENGGANU – Pembangkang menganggap individu yang cuba menaikkan kemarahan orang Melayu dengan membuka akaun Facebook dengan nama ‘Melayu Babi’ sebagai tidak bertanggungjawab.

Naib Yang Dipertua Pas Kawasan Dungun, Azman Shapawi Abdul Rani berkata, keadaan itu menunjukkan penulis terbabit tidak matang sehingga sanggup mencetuskan sensitiviti kaum di negara ini.

Bagaimanapun, beliau menyokong sepenuhnya berhubung laporan polis yang dibuat Gabungan Pelajar Semenanjung Malaysia (GPMS) sebelum ini terhadap perkara itu.

“Kita menyokong lapo-ran polis yang dibuat terhadap perbuatan tidak bertanggungjawab itu supaya mereka sedar akibatnya, selain ia akan memberi kesedaran untuk menjaga penulisan mereka,” katanya ketika dihubungi Sinar Ha-rian, semalam.

Beliau berkata demi-kian ketika diminta mengulas mengenai kewujudan satu akaun laman sosial Facebook sebelum ini yang menggunakan nama ‘Melayu Babi’ dan boleh menaikan kemarahan rakyat di negara ini.

Laman tersebut memiliki lebih 894 rakan di talian.

Bagaimanapun, Azman Shapawi yang juga Timbalan Ketua Pemuda Pas Pusat ketika ditanya sama ada mahu membuat laporan polis sebagaimana dilakukan GPMS, pihaknya tidak merancang berbuat demikian.

Beliau berkata, pihaknya ketika ini sedang melihat reaksi terhadap perbuatan terbabit.

Dalam masa sama, beliau meminta supaya perkara tersebut tidak dilayan dan menganggapnya tidak memberi manfaat kepada mana-mana pihak selain bertujuan menarik perhatian pihak lain.

“Kalau boleh jangan balas balik, jangan ikut rentak dia dengan membalas sesuatu yang tidak baik. Kalau kita ‘cool’, ini tidak akan berpanjangan, sebaliknya kalau jawab ia tidak akan menyelesaikan masalah sebaliknya lagi mencetuskan perkauman,” katanya.

Movement lambasted for setting quit deadline for Taib

KUCHING : The chairman of grassroots-based Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS) Francis Siah was slammed for his ultimatum in demanding Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud to step down by August next year.

“Who is this Francis Siah and MoCS?” asked Peter Minos, who is deputy information chief of Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu.

He was reacting to comments made by Siah that appeared in FMT yesterday.

“And who has given him the power to usurp the wishes of the whole of Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu executive committee members and the 71 PBB branch chairmen throughout Sarawak who have passed a resolution that Taib will continue as PBB president and as chief minister?”

“Besides PBB members, there are many others including non-governmental organisations, associations, community leaders, Sarawak United People’s Party, Parti Rakyat Sarawak and Sarawak Democratic Party who have agreed with PBB that Taib must stay on as chief minister,” Minos added.

Yesterday Siah said MoCS had respectfully sent a request to Taib to step down as soon as possible as this was the general “consensus of the people of Sarawak that Taib has served long enough as chief minister”.

“He should step down as soon as possible, but we will give him till next August to do so,” Siah had said.

Blasting Siah for such a comment, Minos said: “I put it this way, if Taib is able and willing, why do we disturb him? Why pressure him to resign?

“It is not easy to get a seasoned, strong and wise leader like Taib.

“Who has Siah in mind?” asked Minos, pointing out that Siah should respect democratic and free wishes of the majority and the people. He added that Siah had no mandate to ask Taib to step down.

'Taib must step down by August next year'

PENANG : The Movement for Change, Sarawak (MoCS) wants Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud to step down by August next year.

“Today, MoCS respectfully sends this request to the chief minister. It is the general consensus of the people of Sarawak that Taib has served long enough as CM.

"He should step down as soon as possible but we will give him till next August to do so,” its leader Francis Paul Siah said at a NGO-sponsored event in Penang last night.

“We still accord him due respect as the chief minister, but MoCS may not be that respectful if he is still at the helm of the state Government by next August.

"Today, we humbly plead and ask him to seriously consider stepping down. If Taib remains stubborn and refuses to listen, we may have to resort to other courses of action when the time is up.

"Then, the request and plea will turn to demand. We hope we will not have to demand as it would be uncomfortable for the chief minister,” Siah told the gathering of Sarawakians and Penangites at the Malaysia Day celebrations organised by the Malaysian Election Observers Network (MEO-Net) at Weld Quay on the island.

Stating that the August date next year should give Taib ample time to plan his departure, Siah also said that date should also enable the long-serving chief minister to celebrate his final ego-boosting 30th anniversary as Sarawak CM.

“We all know that this is a man with a huge ego and we will allow him to have a final bash on March 26, 2011. After that, Taib should seriously look at his crystal ball and if it is not afraid to tell him the truth unlike his Sarawak BN lieutenants, it would surely suggest that he listens more to the loud voices of dissent from Sarawakians than to his political sycophants.”

'Emulate the people of Penang'

Elaborating on the August date, Siah pointed out that MoCS was formed to advocate a new political culture for the state and promote democratization and “MoCS realises that this evolution is only possible with Taib out of the scene”.

“We announced the formation of MoCS on Aug 13 and we gave ourselves one year to help start this process minus Abdul Taib Mahmud. We are serious in this quest.

"The people of Sarawak are serious and we hope the chief minister would be gracious enough to help us achieve our target without much agony and pain for all parties concerned,” he said.

On the recent PBB supreme council’s declaration of support for Taib to continue as chief minister, Siah laughed it off asking: “Do you seriously believe anyone in the PBB council dare to say ‘No’ to such a powerful and vindictive boss knowing that they could easily be buried politically the minute they challenge his authority.”

“On top of that, 20 or 30 people in the PBB supreme council do not represent 2.6 million Sarawakians,” he added.

Earlier in his speech, Siah urged Sarawakians to emulate the people of Penang by opting for changes and vote in a new government in the coming state elections. He said that Penangites had made a wise decision in the 2008 General Election.

“Today, Penangites are generally happy as Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had performed admirably. There are noticeable changes with Lim’s more accountable and transparent administration.”

Siah added that he has relatives in Penang and “they have informed me that Penangites are generally very supportive of Lim and his plans of action for the state since taking office more than two years ago.

“So the people of Sarawak must cast their votes wisely in the coming state polls and elect sincere leaders of calibre who could help in the evolution towards a new political culture for the state - one that is free of corruption, nepotism and despotism,” he said.

Sabah, Sarawak losing points to KL

COMMENT Malaysia is 47 years old through the unification of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore in 1963. (Singapore was separated from Malaysia in 1965.)

The Kuala Lumpur-Kota Kinabalu-Kuching relationship must be relooked because of the imbalance between the centre and the periphery.

Most importantly, the 20-Point Agreement has been largely ignored in making the Malaysia that we have today.

Initial attempts by Sabah first chief minister Fuad Stephens to do so resulted in him being made Australian High Commissioner.

As a result, there were regressions from Sabah’s 20-Point Agreement and Sarawak’s 18-Point Agreement as seen in the “Allah” controversy and the ban on the Malay language Bible.

Both agreements on religion state that there should be no state religion for Sabah and Sarawak.

The “Borneonisation” of the public service as agreed to in the deal has also been violated. Over the years, more public servants from the peninsula were transferred to Sabah to fill in the void.

What development?

Unfortunately, an ignorant Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Rahim Bakri recently stated that Sabahans in the interiors should be grateful as Sabah’s inclusion in Malaysia had ensured development in the state.

Using development as a bait is wrong because “development is the one term most used by politicians to cheat the people” (quoted from a Malayalam movie).

If development had indeed been provided, why is the road network in both states still bad? My brethren from both Sabah and Sarawak can attest to the fact that Sabah and Sarawak are two decades backwards compared to Peninsular Malaysia.

What development is Rahim speaking about when my brethren over there are still having difficulties to complete 11 years of education?

Contrary to Rahim’s statement, Kuala Lumpur has gained more than Kuching and Kota Kinabalu in the 47-year-old relationship.

The most recent evidence was Barisan Nasional’s slim majority in the 2008 general election, which was only made possible because of the safe deposit votes from Sabah and Sarawak.

In addition, the Mahathir administration should be “thanked” for initiating the IC project that created BN voters out of illegal immigrants from Indonesia and the Philippines

To address the imbalance, more autonomy should be accorded to Sabah and Sarawak. It can be initiated by increasing the petroleum royalty from the current 5% to 20%.

Secession by both Sabah and Sarawak is out of the question as it violates the agreement

VIDEO Namewee, Malay, Indian RAP (1Malaysia anti-racism)

This is a spoof of Namewee's controversial 'Nah' video. Two guys (one of them sure looks familiar) dance to his 'Nah' song. Judge for yourselves if it is as inflammatory or insulting as the authorities say it is.

Malaysia does not need Lee Kuan Yew's advice : Pak Lah

Lee Kuan Yew

KEPALA BATAS (Bernama) - Malaysia does not need any advice from Singapore's Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew because it has its own way of governing the country which comprises multi-racial people, said former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

He said the cultural diversification and racial composition in Malaysia was far different from that of Singapore.

"We are too different from Singapore and Lee's statement which criticized the system being practised in this country cannot be accepted because Malaysia has adopted a different set of approaches and measures in managing issues involving the cultures and religions of its multi-racial population," he told reporters after hosting an Aidilfitri open house here Saturday.

"Malaysia far bigger than Singapore"

Malaysia's 5th prime minister Abdullah Badawi

Lee, in an interview published in the New York Times on Sept 1, had criticised the governing system system practised in Malaysia and accused that Malaysia was not being fair and had been sidelining its minority ethnic groups.

In the interview, Lee also envisioned that Malaysia could have done much better if it was not separated from Singapore because the island republic had achieved outstanding racial harmony.

Abdullah, who is Kepala Batas Member of Parliament, also refuted Lee's allegation that Malaysia had been sidelining minority ethnic groups in the country.

"If we really did that (sidelining minority ethnic groups), Malaysia would have been in trouble all along. We never sidelined any ethnic groups because all of them are equally important to the country," he said.

Unlike Singapore, Abdullah said, Malaysia was far bigger and consisted of various races and ethnic groups including those in Sabah and Sarawak.

"So far, there is no issue of certain races being sidelined and the government has always been fair to all races," he added.

Nik Aziz tak tolak ada ulama, wartawan upahan

Menteri Besar Kelantan Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat mahu wartawan dan ulama memainkan peranan yang seiring untuk menjamin keselamatan ummah di dunia dan akhirat.

Mursyidul Am PAS itu berkata tanggungjawab kedua-dua golongan ini adalah sama iaitu mengabdikan diri kepada Allah.

"Tinggal lagi, ulama menyampaikan dakwah melalui lisan manakala wartawan menyebarkan maklumat melalui mata pena.

"Oleh itu, mereka hendaklah bergerak seiring untuk kepentingan dan kesejahteraan ummah dunia dan akhirat," katanya berucap di majlis dialog Menteri Besar Kelantan dengan wartawan anjuran Urusetia Penerangan Negeri, di Kota Bharu, malam tadi.

Hadir sama, Pengarah Urusetia Penerangan Kerajaan Negeri Abdul Rahman Yunus dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Pembangunan Ladang Rakyat Dr Azmi Razali Azmi.

Nik Abdul Aziz berkata beliau mahu golongan wartawan bertanggungjawab terhadap penulisannya kerana mereka juga akan turut dipersoalkan di akhirat kelak seperti ulama.

Beliau tidak menolak kemungkinan wujudnya ulama upahan seperti juga wartawan upahan kerana tidak menjalankan tugas berlandaskan etika kewartawanan dan sebagai ulama upahan, mereka tidak menyampaikan dakwah yang betul kepada umat Islam sebagaimana ajaran agama sebenarnya.

Ditanya sama ada beliau akan terus menawarkan diri untuk bertanding dalam pilihan raya umum ke-13 nanti, beliau berkata, ia terpulang kepada pucuk pimpinan parti.

"Saya tidak pernah menawarkan diri untuk bertanding dalam mana-mana pilihan raya, kecuali pertama kali ketika kerajaan campuran BN-PAS, pada 1974," katanya.

Menurutnya, keputusan sama ada bertanding atau tidak pada pilihan raya ke-13 nanti bergantung kepada kehendak pucuk pimpinan parti kerana beliau mengakui telah lama berkhidmat dalam parti dan semakin uzur.

Sokongan rakyat Kelantan pada PAS makin kukuh

KOTA BHARU, 18 Sept : Kejayaan PAS mentadbir Kelantan diraikan oleh setiap lapisan masyarakat yang kini menyambut tahun ke-20 dengan sokongan rakyat yang semakin kukuh.

Ini dibuktikan kehadiran rakyat ke majlis Sambutan Aidilfitri PAS Kelantan yang mencecah 15,000 orang pada tahun ini, kata Naib Presiden PAS, Salahuddin Ayub.

Ketika ditemui di majlis tersebut, beliau berkata, sambutan yang menggalakkan daripada rakyat Kelantan terhadap pimpinan ulama di bawah Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat boleh dijadikan kayu pengukur.

Justeru, katanya dakwaan Umno bahawa sokongan terhadap PAS semakin berkurangan amat tidak berasas.

“Pelbagai program yang dianjurkan oleh kerajaan dan parti di Kelantan kini, kita boleh lihat sambutannya yang begitu memberangsangkan dan dakwaan Umno yang mengatakan rakyat Kelantan sudah bosan dengan PAS tersasar sama sekali,” katanya yang juga Ahli Parlimen Kubang Kerian.

Sementara itu, Ketua Penerangan PAS Kelantan, Ahmad Baihaki Atiqullah pula memberitahu golongan muda yang berada di luar Kelantan juga semakin memahami dasar yang dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan negeri.

Beliau yang juga Timbalan Ketua Pemuda PAS negeri berkata, ini dapat dibuktikan apabila kerajaan negeri dengan kerjasama Persatuan Anak Kelantan di Perantauan (Perakan) yang setiap tahun mengadakan majlis ramah mesra bersama pimpinan kerajaan negeri juga mendapati kehadiran anak muda untuk bersama Menteri Besar semakin meningkat.

“PAS akan sentiasa bekerja keras bagi mempertahankan Kelantan pada PRU ke-13 nanti dan golongan muda akan menjadi tumpuan utama,” kata beliau lagi.

Mereka telah menerima sumbangan duit raya dalam bentuk dirham yang disampaikan sendiri oleh Tuan Guru pada majlis yang diadakan di Dataran Stadium Sultan Mohamad ke IV.

Sarawakians have only themselves to blame

(Hornbill Unleashed) - "Whose fault is it that Barisan Nasional wins at every election giving Abdul Taib Mahmud the chance to continue ruling Sarawak as chief minister?”

After 47 years of Merdeka, said Kayan Cultural Association president Miku Loyang, it is the fault of the Sarawakians themselves that their communities are now unable to even step foot into their ancestors’ land because of the Bakun Dam development.

“Who is wrong? No one but us, even though the government (BN) is like this, we still vote it in every general election,” said Miku, 68, from Balui Liko, Ulu Bakun, who is now resettled in Sungai Asap.

“I am angry. I want to vote against them. We will quietly and nicely place our crosses in the right slots,” added Miku, who was a civil servant and became Belaga councillor before his retirement.

However, Miku, who has been a polling agent before, conceded that it was massive challenge to register voters in the interior of Sarawak due to the blockades placed by logging companies along the roads leading to the villages.

He said that many were not registered as voters and that change could come about only when there were enough young voters casting their ballots.

Miku and three others, including his spouse Saran Juna, 61, a traditional Ngajat dancer, son-in-law Bengo Telang, 56 and Kuit Kilah, 55, from the Penan community, were in Penang to perform several songs and dances at an event organised by Malaysian Elections Observers Network (MEO-Net).

Voter registration, a sign of the times

MEO-Net coordinator, social activist Ong Boon Keong, said the performance, attended by about 100 people, was also part of the group’s Sarawak Road Show first anniversary celebration.

The road show organises monthly trips to the state’s interior to conduct voter registration and education and is supported by other groups, including Malaysian Trades Union Congress, Tanjung Bungah Residents Association, Suaram Penang, Penang Graduates Youth Association, Penang Chinese Journalists Association and Kenyalang Power Intiatiive.

The performers are in Kuala Lumpur today and will be performing at the Central Market Annex before leaving for Sarawak tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Kiut, formerly from Murum and now resettled in Sg Asap with 40 other Penan families, said he has not met with any YBs (parliamentarians or state assemblypersons) although he has been voting for years.

“Where are they, the chief minister and the YBs? They do not seem visible though I have been voting for them before,” said Kiut, who nows lives in a makeshift chicken coop and has untold sad stories to share about his life in Sarawak.

Telang, a Kayan farmer resettled in Sungai Asap, shared his heart-rending tale about the daily sufferings of the indigenous communities since the Bakun Dam project shattered their lives.

He said Malaysia Day held no meaning for him, although he should be very happy that Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak, had gained independence from the British 47 years ago.

“I cannot begin to tell you how sad our stories are, words cannot describe our sadness, we have been cheated over and over again,” said Telang, who sings traditional Kayan songs.

“Our homes have disappeared and we cannot even hunt or gather food for our families; we have not been compensated when they took our homes away and now we are asked to pay for a poorly constructed house in Sungai Asap,” he lamented.

“There is no point for Sarawak to be independent within Malaysia (if the situation is like this for the indigenous communities), there is no difference from being under the colonial rule of the British,” Telang added.

PAS : Khir patut lupakan hasrat kembali jadi MB Selangor

KUALA LUMPUR, 17 Sept — PAS Selangor mendakwa isu sama ada bekas menteri besar Selangor Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo berminat atau tidak untuk kembali mengetuai kerajaan negeri tidak berbangkit sama sekali kerana rakyat telah pun menolak Umno dan Barisan Nasional (BN) dua tahun lalu.

Ketua Penerangan PAS Selangor Roslan Shahir Mohd Shahir berkata realitinya hilangnya keyakinan dan kepercayaan rakyat Selangor itu terhadap kerajaan BN Selangor yang lalu banyak tertumpu pada kepincangan kepimpinan Dr Khir sendiri sebagai menteri besari Umno dan BN yang terakhir.

Laporan media memetik Dr Khir menegaskan yang beliau tidak lagi berminat untuk kembali menjadi menteri besar sekiranya Umno kembali menawan Selangor dalam pilihan raya umum akan datang.

Sebaliknya Dr Khir mahu jawatan itu diserahkan kepada pemimpin yang lebih layak.

Beliau membuat keputusan itu kerana tidak mahu mewarisi masalah-masalah yang berlaku selepas Selangor diperintah olej Pakatan Rakyat (PR) sejak Mac 2008.

Dr Khir menggantikan Tan Sri Abu Hassan Omar sebagai menteri besar.

“Beliau mungkin tidak menyedarinya dan masih mengagung-agungkan era kepimpinan beliau, namun hakikatnya semasa beliau menteri besarlah api kemarahan rakyat meluap-luap dan diterjemahkan langsung melalui peti undi pada PRU-12 yang mengakibatkan Umno dan BN hilang kuasa di Selangor,” kata Roslan Shahir dalam satu kenyataan.

Kata beliau, PAS Selangor mahu menegaskan bahawa keputusan pilihan raya umum 2008 di mana rakyat Selangor bangkit merobah kerajaan negeri dari BN ke PR adalah isyarat hilangnya keyakinan dan kepercayaan mereka terhadap kemampuan Umno dan perikatannya dalam mengurus dan mentadbir negeri itu.

Oleh itu menurut Roslan Shahir, sebenarnya Dr Khir dan Umno serta BN Selangor tidak ada pilihan.

“Isu siapa yang bakal menjadi MB Selangor bukannya terletak pada pilihan Khir atau Umno Selangor tetapi rakyat.

“Sehingga kini rakyat Selangor telah memberikan kepercayaan kepada Pakatan iaitu gabungan PAS, PKR dan DAP yang telah memilih Tan Sri Khalid Ibarhim sebagai MB kerajaan baru ini sejak Mac 2008.

“Ia akan kekal begini sehinggalah mandat dikembalikan kepada rakyat,” kata beliau sambil menambah buat masa sekarang dengan dokongan dan kepercayaan rakyat, harapan Dr Khir atau sesiapa sahaja dari Umno atau BN Selangor untuk kembali memegang teraju pentadbiran negeri ini agak tipis.

“Rakyat telah selesa dan kini yakin bahawa keputusan mereka pada 8 Mac 2008 lalu adalah keputusan yang paling tepat.

“Mustahil mereka mahu kembali menoleh ke belakang mengundang kepincangan yang lampau untuk menggantikan yang baru dan bersih yang telah dibina bersama ini,” katanya.
