Tujuan baik tidak halalkan jenayah
YB
Dato Zaid Ibrahim, Menteri Undang-Undang kecewa kerana dia akan
dihadapkan ke Jawatankuasa Disiplin UMNO sedangkan dia hanya
mempertahankan Perdana Menteri.
Peguam ini tidak faham bahawa tujuan baik tidak menghalalkan jenayah.
Takut kerana salah?
Ahli-ahli dan pemimpin cawangan dan bahagian UMNO tidak dibenar mendengar ucapan saya.
Apakah pemimpin tertinggi UMNO takut kerana mereka punyai banyak kesalahan yang mungkin dibongkar oleh saya?
I have been asked “What is the meaning of a multi-racial Malaysia to me?”
Being
multi-racial does not mean the same thing to every multi-racial country
e.g. Singapore claims to be multi-racial but basically it is a
predominantly Chinese State.
Because of the refusal of the
descendants of migrants from China and India to be assimilated by the
indigenous people we have to accept the retention of the identity of
Malaysian citizens of Chinese and Indian origin. The people of
Indonesian origin chose to be assimilated by the indigenous people, so
they don’t constitute a separate entity.

1. The Royal Commission is not a court of
law and is not supposed to judge and sentence people. But the fact that
such commissions are often manned by judges or ex-judges seems to
indicate that principles of justice and determination of right and
wrong should be based on legal principles.
3. One sentence in the report is very telling and I quote, “In the process, Dr Mahathir Mohamad was also entangled. That possibility was ominous when
examined against the factual circumstances surrounding the rejection of
Malek Ahmad as Chief Judge of Malaya. Their ultimate aim or purpose could not be ascertained with exactitude given
the limitation under the (Commission) terms of reference. It could be
related to the fixing of cases as submitted by counsel for the Bar and
others. Certainly it is reasonable to suggest that it could not be anything but self-serving.”

It is only in Malaysia that
people of immigrant origins, so identified by their insistence on being
linked race-wise with their countries of origin, are actually accepted
as citizens.
Touching one million hits among bloggers seem to be something to be
celebrated. I was told that most bloggers will congratulate each other
when one of them hits the million mark, and call the one millionaire.
Some
bloggers have described my achieving the million mark within a month of
my first posting as something phenomenal; one even suggested that it
may be a world record of sorts.
I do not know whether it is.
To me, what is more important is that I have managed to generate enough interest to get that kind of traffic in my blog.
When I was in Japan recently I had the
opportunity to explain about Malaysia’s Non-Governmental Organisation’s
campaign to make war a punishable crime.
On the other
hand they were the only people in the world to experience the first
ever nuclear war, of having their citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
reduced to ashes by atomic bombs, with the loss of 200,000 lives and
thousands more struck down by radiation sickness later.
Saya ucap terima kasih kepada beberapa ahli UMNO yang mahu saya kembali menjadi ahli.
Dari
awal lagi Menteri-Menteri UMNO, pemimpin-pemimpin UMNO dilarang
daripada berjumpa dengan saya atau menghadiri apa-apa majlis di mana
saya mungkin berucap.
Demikian Karpal Singh,
musuh ketat UMNO menasihatkan saya supaya bersara dan tidak
campurtangan dalam urusan kepimpinan Dato Seri Abdullah Badawi.
Malaysia is a country which practices the rule of law. Our laws must
cover every aspect of our societal life, so we will know exactly what
we can do and what we cannot do. Prime Ministers in particular must
have everything spelt out for them in this respect. This will enable
them to be charged if they had breached the rule of law long after they
had retired.
Governments, serving Prime Ministers and
Ministers are well placed to initiate action against others. But when
the Government, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister do
something wrong, like cover-ups for example, then police reports may be
made against them. But how can the person reporting be sure that the
police will investigate without fear or favour.
1. Saya kurang faham dakwaan pemimpin-pemimpin tertentu UMNO bahawa
mengkritik atau mendesak Presiden UMNO berhenti bermakna tidak setia
kepada UMNO.
2. Tun Razak dan beberapa pemimpin UMNO yang lain
telah tidak bersetuju dengan yang di Pertua UMNO Dato Onn Jaafar
berkenaan dengan cadangannya untuk buka UMNO kepada semua kaum sehingga
Dato Onn terpaksa undur.
3. Apakah sikap dan perbuatan Tun Razak dan rakan-rakannya ketika itu bermakna mereka tidak sayang dan tidak setia kepada UMNO?
