The King, on the July 9 Bersih 2.0 Rally

UPDATED July 9 Bersih 2.0 Rally The Istana Negara has released a special text of the comment of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin on the Bersih 2.0 rally which planned to be held on July 9, 2011 in the federal capital.

Below is the full text of the King.

Beta sedang mengikuti dengan teliti akan perkembangan cadangan Kumpulan Bersih untuk mengadakan perarakan dan perhimpunan beramai-ramai yang bertujuan untuk menyerahkan memorandum kepada Beta selaku Yang di-Pertuan Agong, dan bagaimana pihak kerajaan menangani isu ini khususnya agensi-agensi dan jabatan-jabatan yang terlibat.


Namun Beta yakin kepimpinan negara di bawah Yang Amat Berhormat Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Haji Abdul Razak berkemampuan untuk menangani masalah ini dengan sebaik mungkin.


Beta menyeru di dalam keghairahan sebahagian rakyat berpolitik bagi menyuburkan demokrasi dalam negara kita ini hendaklah dipastikan juga bahawa tuntutan demokrasi itu tidak akan membawa kemusnahan kepada negara.


Kita tidak boleh terlalu terikut-ikut dengan amalan-amalan negara-negara luar secara umumnya kerana keharmonian dan kestabilan negara adalah asas penting bagi sesebuah negara yang perlu semua pihak pertahankan.


Beta juga menyeru kepada pihak kerajaan agar melaksanakan segala amanah yang diberikan kepada rakyat secara adil dan bijaksana dan yang pentingnya Beta selaku Yang di-Pertuan Agong tidak mahu melihat dalam negara bermasyarakat majmuk ini berada di dalam keadaan bermusuhan sesama sendiri ataupun sebahagian rakyatnya bermusuh dengan kerajaan atas apa jua alasan pun.


Setiap permasalahan yang timbul, kita sebagai masyarakat bertamadun hendaklah menyelesaikan secara rundingan dan tidak mengikut perasaan seperti pepatah Melayu "Yang Dikejar Tak Dapat Yang Dikendong Berciciran".


Hakikatnya demonstrasi jalanan banyak membawa keburukan daripada kebaikan walaupun niat asalnya baik.


Sebaliknya kita harus menumpukan kepada matlamat utama memajukan negara, bukannya mencipta masalah yang membuat negara berada terkebelakang. Ingatlah bumi mana yang tidak ditimpa hujan, lautan mana yang tidak bergelora.


Itulah pentingnya sifat kesederhanan dan tolak ansur yang telah begitu lama diamalkan oleh warisan pentadbiran negara.

Bersih 2.0 plans to organise rallies in Kuala Lumpur, Sabah and Sarawak on July 9 to call for clean and fair elections.

British English vs. Malaysian English

Who says our English is teruk.? Just see below -
Ours is simple, short, concise, straight-to-point, effective etc:

WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER BAD NEWS
Britons: I’m sorry, Sir, but we don’t seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.
Malaysians: No Stock.

RETURNING A CALL
Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone page for me a few moments ago?
Malaysians: Hello, who page?

THE MALAYSIAN MANGLISH - ROJAK!!

What is Manglish and What is Malaysian English. Manglish is not Malaysian English, and Malaysian English is not Manglish.

The Manglish is the Mangled English. The vocabulary of Manglish consists of words originating from English, Malay, Hokkien, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Tamil.

The Malaysian English, on the other hand, is the Malaysian Standard English, which is a form of English used and spoken in Malaysia as a second language. Malaysian English should not be confused with Malaysian Colloquial English which is famously known as Manglish.

Below is a joke, one big joke on our Malaysian Manglish.

Even an Englishman cannot construct sentences using numeric, which is exclusive only to Malaysians and Singaporeans.

Ah Beng was asked to make a sentence using

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10.

Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1.This is what he came up with…..

1 day I go 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4down. The man rushed out and wanted to 5 with me. I ran until I fell 6 and threw up. So I go into 7-eleven and grabbed some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab at him.10 God he run away.

10 I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7-eleven.

Powerful Title - Cina balik China, India Balik India

This blog post is a repost of the Citizen's blog on The Star Online. Original post can be found here.

Errr I think it's time for us to look back what we have done. The following blog post was posted on Sept 03, 2008 - months after the 308 GE. Malaysia is a wonderful nation, we the Malaysians have the responsibilities to making the nation greater and stronger. Read the following post, it was posted by mdnorhafiz, whom I don't really know who he is. You can know more about him here.

And since our GE is coming really really soon, I think it's time to let you guys read the following thing to remind us, we are all Malaysians! 1Malaysia unites all of us!

The post goes like this..

Huh, our government regards them as squatters. Even some racist MPs and Malay folks asked them to go back China and India. Yes, let we start to imagine a Malaysia without Indians or Chinese.

1) Sports
Instead of Lee Chong Wei, the last Olympic medal won by Malaysia in badminton was Rashid Sidek in 1996.

Instead of Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boong Heong, the last All England won by a Malaysian was in 2003 through Muhammad Hafiz Hashim. Out of 23 titles won by Malaysia, only two of them belongs to "original" Malaysian. Another one was double, Razif and Jalani Sidek in 1982.

Remember, without Nicole Ann David, Malaysian is nowhere near to world-class squash player.

2) Fashion
Malaysia will lack of world-class fashion designer without Jimmy Choo, Bernard Chandran, Zang Toi and Melinda Looi

3) Entertainment

Save Malaysia, Stop Lynas

The following is not an anti-government post.

Lynas, an Australia company is building (target completion end-2011) a rare earth processing plant in Gebeng, Kuantan. The plant is likely to causesevere damages to environment and may leave behind canser causing waste products.

The raw material will be imported from Australia and output will be exported to oversea. The byproducts, waste left behind is slightly radioactive, and could potentially bring substantial damage to the environment and the health of the local community (which may include Kuantan, Chukai, Kemaman or Pekan).
