An excellent speech by YB TS Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah

By the permission of Tengku Razaleigh webpage admin. Dedicated to all politician aspirant out there. Let us start a new real clear politics.

Thank you for inviting me to speak with you. I am truly honoured. I have played some small role in the life of this nation, but having been on the wrong side of one or two political fights with the powers that be, I am not as close to the young people of this country as I would hope to be.

History, and the 8 o’clock news, are written by the victors. In recent years the government’s monopoly of the media has been destroyed by the technology revolution.

You could say I was also a member of the UKEC. Well I was, except that belonged to the predecessor of the UKEC by more than fifty years, The Malayan Students Union of the UK and Eire. I led this organisation in 1958/59. I was then a student of Queen’s University at Belfast, in a rather cooler climate than Kota Bharu’s.

Your invitation to participate in the MSLS was prefaced by an essay which calls for an intellectually informed activism. I congratulate you on this. The Youth of today, you note, “will chart the future of Malaysia.” You say you “no longer want to be ignored and leave the future of our Malaysia at the hands of the current generation.” You “want to grab the bull by the horns... and have a say in where we go as a society and as a nation.”I feel the same, actually. A lot of Malaysians feel the same. They are tired of being ignored and talked down to by swaggering mediocrities.

You are right. The present generation in power has let Malaysia down.

But also you cite two things as testimony of the importance of youth and of student activism to this country, the election results of 2008 and “the Prime Minister’s acknowledgement of the role of youth in the development of the country.”

So perhaps you are a little way yet from thinking for yourselves. The first step in “grabbing the bull by the horns” is not to required the endorsement of the Prime Minister, or any Minister, for your activism.

Politicians are not your parents. They are your servants. You don’t need a government slogan coined by a foreign PR agency to wrap your project in. You just go ahead and do it.

my rambling on facebook. hahah

It amused me that we would argue more on petty issue such non presence till end of assembly rather than try to seek knowledge of what actually transpired from the speech. It just showed lack of depth and understanding about the more pertinent matters that need to be clarified and discussed.

KB is not answerable to only one person but he and the committee are accountable to all TG UMNO members.

UMNO as a party must not only be perceived as clean but must uphold integrity at the highest level in order to continue receiving resounding support from Malays grassroots.

If UMNO fail to do so, the perception of UMNO struggles for the Malays 'Dulu, Kini dan Selamanya' will slowly fade away.

Let's argue more on that, shall we?
And Happy 65th anniversary UMNO!

Rangkuman citer in one go yet again!? - Part V

I admit that my hand is tight with so many thing hence blogging has become a seldom/occasional/rare past time writings rather that a stimulating platform to churn new ideas or share my personal opinion on what's happening around me.

Furthermore, I have becoming more and more obsessed with Twitter, a more direct, articulate 140 characterize statement which is more real time and easy to handle; just the tip of my fingers. I am not giving any excuses here coz i also do compose  new blog entry via my blackberry but frankly speaking, blogging could take some of your time and my saying of time; means a lot! I have this kind of slight compulsive disorder; which means i read every line of my para, make sure there is no typo and i'll make sure i'll use the right word in whatever context message I want to convey to my audience. Yes, you can simply say, i am a half freak! (check how many mistake I intentionally left out!)

Having said that, I still love writing.. in fact, I used to have this dream of becoming a writer myself. hahah. Maybe I can make fun of myself and let other ppl have a laugh of me. Till then... let me be just the simple me.

Anyway, the past week have been quite a hectic yet memorable one. My sista wedding reception was held last Saturday and yours truly was the man behind the event. Yup.. I'm the man who will be held responsible if the majlis went wrong. Alhamdulilah, there are few hiccups here and there but the lesser it is, the few go unnoticed. Thanks to the great helps from the ppl around me in particular my love ones who always fresh with new ideas for the wedding. Fyi, the badges, the guest book, the programme , the tags are all her ideas and i m one who executed it with perfection of course. :) We had great time serving the guests and we do hope the guests were joy in return. For me, organising an event is always challenging but the most satisfying part is when all your plan worked accordingly. That would make your day. "Tak makan pun takpe, puas punya pasal, kenyang sampai petang."

On Sports,

Arsenal is back at its best. Having unbeaten run in 4 competition is good for the lads. Hoping some consistency to bring back glory to the Gunners. I hope Arsene knows best is really a fruitful bet and I do hope he will bring in some backup in this January transfer window to add depth to the squad.

In politics,

Malaysia never fade away when it comes to politics. Just about we are going to prepare for upcoming 13 GE which will be a 'do or die' battle between BN and PR, we are shocked with the death of another assemblymen. On top of that one assemblyman was disqualified as ADUN so it will make 3 by-election coming in your way. The Sarawak State Election is also coming; so what you could expect from both end?! More politicking, more character assasination, more political spin and in the end the rightly deserved rakyat who were left to decide their fate..

Malaysia ku oh Malaysia.

#TanyaNajib on twitter - Shud i laugh, worry, cry to Malaysian level of maturity?

It was a top 10 trending topic for today on twitter when PM @najibrazak offered an opening to 'seluruh rakyat Malaysia' a chance to ask him question on twitter. By hashtag #tanyanajib; you can ask him your question and suddenly it created a chaotic trend in twitterville or widely known as twitterjaya in M'sian twitter context.

Without regarding who actually behind @najibrazak responding or collecting data from the trend topic, the line which should have been opened only for 1 and half hour until now keep receiving questions non-stop. This kind of trend #tanyanajib or #ask(name) have been quite famous amongst celebrity and sportsmen to engage directly with their fans and indeed by doing so, PM @najibrazak was trying hard to make all Malaysians inclusive in a 2 way communication.

I could not stop laughing/worrying and maybe cried at some of the questions being ask; from asking what is he having for tea? to asking not to give any visa to JB on his upcoming concert in Malaysia. Some of the questions look boring and stupid but some look intellectual and sophisticated. Yet some used the platform to engulfed into a words of war zone towards PM and his wife. This somehow reflect who and what Malaysians are made today.

Ignoring the questions which for me are rather academics. (And I dont think PM @najibrazak will go every question verbatimly). The trending topic actually is a way for Najib himself and the team to collect more data about the pattern of Malaysians.

IMHO I can conclude the findings after observing the trending on #tanyanajib into few points.

1. Malaysians are rather stupid or ignorant

2. Malaysians are only interested in gossiping or personal attacks

3. Malaysians are very funny people or should i say happy go lucky

4. Race sensitivity is much of issue need to be taken seriously

5. Malaysians under 21 is yet ready to vote

6. Malaysians are less substance only talk

7. Malaysians don't understand the meaning of patriotic

8. Many more..

9. Najib wont be calling GE anytime soon until he rectify most common thing grudged by the people.

If most of the point corectly pointing to most Malaysians, I can simply say these odds people who simply 'pandai cakap' wont be the first in line to defend the country if any conflict occurred, they would rather run away and talk from a distance.

What can we say more about Malaysians, we have lost our soul to the man who sold the world. All because our own immaturity when we were given opportunity in due course.

Malaysia Boleh?! no i think it's a dumb dumb Malaysia!

Hope a great new year after 2010 did great to all of us.

Gosh, another year will pass us in 2 hours. I just hope I've done enough this year to look back and make a self reflection.

Hoping u guys did great in your own terms as well.

I hope each of us can look back and proud of our own achievement albeit some regrets. That the way life is. Without some up and down, life can definitely borink! :D

For me I can say 2010 come with a blessing. Alhamdulilah. It has been a rough year but an exciting 1! Here are my list of 2010; just happy to share with all of u.

1. My lovely Milla pregnancy head the list. ;)
2. Going to South Africa for the world cup came close 2nd.
3. Got opportunity to travel Germany right after world cup was simply amazing
4. Engage with not so level headed panelist to acquire some fund, I tell u was extremely tiring.
5. Knowing the other side of muslim world in South Africa is eye opening. Seeing is believing, being oppress by Apartheid have made them more independent and self progressing
6. The arrival of our Amin Muhaimin. He is a blessing and we are grateful for that.
7. New family member etc etc etc.

Guess I should stop at that. The mistakes are lesson to be learnt. The corrects are point to be improved.

Happy New Year 2011. Live our ordinary Life extraordinary. Have a blast instead. ;)

Signing off for the year 2010,
Moqq.

Hai Muhaimin Ya Muhaimin.

Hai Muhaimin Ya Muhaimin

Pantas sungguh masa berlalu, ye nak.

Belum puas babah tidurkan kamu di pangkin 

Kini kau sudah pandai menyebut e mak

Hai Muhaimin Ya Muhaimin

Kasih sayang kami padamu tiada tara

Doa kami agar kau jadi orang mukminin

Berbuat baik di muka dunia tidak berkira

Hai Muhaimin Ya Muhaimin

Kau buka pintu rezki keluarga

Sesungguhnya doa kami telah diamin

Kehadiran mu tepat pada masa dan ketika 

Hai Muhaimin Ya Muhaimin.

Babah pasti merindui saat-saat itu

Tatkala kamu bergolek mencari posisi 

Ketika kau tidur di pangkuan ku.

Indah waktu itu, nak.. jika kau mampu mengerti perasaan babah ketika itu.

Saban hari saban waktu aku tak akan pernah jemu ingin mengendongmu.

Hai Muhaimin Ya Muhaimin

Cepat benar kau membesar, ye nak.

Kalau lah aku mampu hentikan waktu....

p/s: tribute to Muhaimin. He turns 3 months today
