FORERUNNER OF DAP, TRAITOR TO MALAYS


Aftermath of husband-wife Mansoor Adabi and Maria Hertogh a.k.a. Natrah forced separation by the court's order was the Singapore racial riot of July 1964.



LKY shrewedly courted the Malays in the early PAP's political struggle and later methodically marginalised them economically, socially and religously. Cunningly he took Bt. Putih, the price we pay for being stupidly unproactive.

The helmsman, LKY blamed the backwardness of Malays has something to do with Islam. Is it Islam or his grave, racist policy of divisiveness? May such policies follow him to the grave.

Being Israel's protege of the East, a manufacturer of mines - what does he care for Muslims! Yet, Dolah and Najib are scared shit to build the half-way bridge across the Johore Straits.











It is no surprise that DAP inherited the PAP's racist policies. Five years later Malaysia got its racial riot instigated by chauvinistic Chinese parties. It started in Penang on the occassion of Maulidul Rasul procession as happened in Singapore.

James Brooke knew how to handle the Chinese. When the Bau miners rebelled and burnt Kuching, he bombarded them from the Sarawak River. The rebels fled to the jungle towards Sambas, Kalimantan. Brooke let loose the Dyaks and more than a thousand heads were lopped off.

THE ORIGINAL LAHAD DATU MAN




Hundreds of thousands of years before the hunter-gatherer neolithic cave people came to that part of island, Borneo, we orang were already there.



Long, long before that many millions of years ago, series and series of tectonic plate clashes led to continental drift creating the geography of land masses and islands of today.

During the Ice Age, the Malay Archipelago were still much connected by land. When the ice melt combined with earth movements, the land bridges were submerged and what remains is the Sunda shelf. When the land bridges abound we orang crossed to Borneo and elsewhere.


Mankind scientists insist that we orang began early in the family tree of apes. This further prove that we were in Borneo and Lahad Datu eons before man. The Suluk, Bajau, Melayu, Felda etc. are of recent feature.


 


We orang did not like the Suluks and other ethnics for that matter for they killed us for museum pieces. The worst is the Melayu Felda (Sahabat) of some 20 years ago who burnt vast stretches of our jungle leaving nothing of jungle for us except oil palm which we do not understand. This genocide was done by other people also in other parts of Borneo in Kalimantan and Sarawak.

You call us orang right but look at us. Look at the water. What have you done, you greedy orang! No jungle, no food to feed our babies. Hundreds already dead. Without the jungle all orangs including you will be dead!

AFTER PARIS, ANWAR GONE NATIVE WITH ISLANDERS


This man, how much you hate him, is ubiquitous no doubt. His wife cannot keep pace with this 'Anugerah Tuhan'. Only his shadow, if he has one, follow him everywhere. He is a man of means and assets.

Before Paris he was in Manila plottingwith that Misuari guy. What was he doing throwing money in Paris? Well, Paris is the most fashionable city in the West and the possibilities are limitless to borrow Najib's.










From Paris, incommunicado he was in the South Pacific islands, went native, not surprisingly!










Among the Papuans - his macho back-pose, his mate, coffee berry picking, dance party. You know the man, he is boundless.

FALL OF AL-QUDS (1099) - THE ATROCITIES

The bloodbath committed by the Franj crusaders at the fall of Al-Quds (Jerusalem), 1099 was barbaric and beyond Christian dogma. The atrocities are still ongoing but now by the crusading Zionists. Elsewhere in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mali, Somalia, Chechnya the crusaders continue their killing fields under various guises.


The atrocities committed at Ma'arra, Syria as chronicled by their own people, Radulph of Caen.


Qadi Abu Sa'ad al-Harawai of Damascus was the one who campaigned at the Caliph's palace in Baghdad to fight against the Franj. It was Ramadhan, he was seen eating in Baghdad. When people asked him why he was not fasting. "Why, you worry about me not fasting but not your brothers being slaughtered?" he replied to that effect.


By the grace of Allah, Salahuddin al-Ayubi, the hero of Al-Quds recaptured Al-Quds from the crusaders.


The Battle of Hittin was the most decisive one for Saladin where the enemy was completely routed. He was a strategist, very pious and patient man during his many battles taking 27 years of his life on horseback. He could be very  magnanimous to release many crusader-prisoners where they fought against him in later encounters.


Saladin's fortress located on an inaccessible plateau to the northeast of Latakia town, Syria where he could plan during winter for the coming summer campaigns. It is  much neglected though tourists (mostly local) do come and visit including me in summer 1999.

GLCs BASTARDIZED!


Two differing reports of remunerations of  GLC top guns are shown below. They are indeed swimming on money of super-duper high income economy. What disparity? Najib's brother was the one who said DEB bastardized now look where he stands in bastardized GLCs!

No wonder the armed forces generals are disgruntled. In the past many retired top brass were given high positions in government/private companies but now entirely left out. While in service they have little opportunity to mingle with the business community, without contacts and influence they stand little chance to hold positions in companies when retired.

Retired lower ranking army personnel such as captains and majors are not too bad because they are sought after by security companies.

The trend is that retired top civil servants monopolised the  silver platter to hold high posts in GLCs and companies.  We know this for a fact eg. has-been KSN is now Chairman of Petronas but then Sidek is of Pahang. If Najib is deeply parochial, keeps has-beens (Isa, Rahim, Hamid ...) and the slumberjack, giving away money like nobody's business could not get 2/3 BN majority then he should resign.

You ask the generals how is life in the army. My brother (arwah), known as Kol. Hassan Mata Merah among his Askar Melayu contemporaries spent years in and out of Betong-Keroh to flush out the communists, survived a 1000-foot heli crash, stayed months in the Sarawak swamps in ambush position, etc. To him "hidup untuk askar, askar untuk hidup". When retired he complained about a corrupt Sg. Udang wakil rakyat. Was he happy playing golf much of the time? I don't know.
