What a Disgraceful Act/Statement .....

Today's posting is dedicated to several actions by Malaysians which I considered as disgraceful...

Top on my list is the action by a group of non-governmental organisations led by Pertubuhan Suara Anak-Anak Malaysia Chairman Mohamed Ghani Abdul Jiman. It was reported in NST @ 30 July 2011 that they brought 2 sets of brassiere and panties meant for the Penang CM at Komtar. I had a shock in my life when Mingguan Malaysia @ 31 July 2011 even had the cheek of showing the picture of the group holding the brassiere and panties .... The action was a blatant disrespect to women in general especially Malaysian women!!!!

As if that is not enough, it was reported in NST that Ghani when prevented by the security guard from entering the lift - obviously he Wanted to go to the CM's office - was seen flashing RM50 notes believed to total RM1,000.00. If this was not an attempt to bribe, I am lost of words on what it really was.

Ironically, all these happened when at about the same time, the Yang DiPertua Negeri Pulau Pinang was in Komtar to grace the opening of the Ramadan bazaar .... Shame on you Ghani and consider me as not one of that "Suara Anak-Anak Malaysia" ...

Disgraceful Act No.2 is when it was reported in NST on the same date that Penang Wanita MCA is upset with the Penang CM for not awarding Drainage And Irrigation Contracts to the Chinese. It is a disgrace when our political parties are still being communal in their approach to gain political mileage...

As for me, I am confused here - some quarters are saying that the Penang CM is not being fair to the Malays but now even the Chinese are saying that the CM is not being fair to his own race ... Which is which ... As I look at it, he is most probably being fair by not simply giving contracts to either the Malays or Chinese .... Perhaps the newly appointed Minister at the PM Department from MIC might have something to say after this .....

The 3rd disgraceful act was committed by Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) - I could not explain but always being sceptical when an organisation has the word "Melayu" for the wrong reason - when they held a peaceful protest in front of the Bar Council office in Kuala Lumpur. They wanted to hand over a memorandum to the Bar Council alleging that the Bar Council was prejudicial in its political stand and failed to carry out its professional duties.

The JMM President, Azwanddin Hamzah was reportedly as saying that he had proof of council members are aligning themselves with certain political parties. It seems that JMM being a "jaring" is just "serkap jarang" as I trust that the Bar Council had been and always be professional in their stand on the social/political issues in this country .... My advise to him is "Cakap siang pandang-pandang, cakap malam bisik-bisik" ... History has proven otherwise as far as the Malaysian Bar Council is concerned as they had stand up courageously without fear or favour and had been impartial in its stand.

The final disgraceful act was also like the above was reported in NST @ 30 July 2011. We are fortunate that this act was committed by a non Malaysian ... He is none other than the Zimbabwean President who was reportedly spending about RM10 million (2 million pounds) a month on luxurious foreign travel. He was reported as having practically overspent his annual budget for transport. Just consider this .. most state workers in Zimbabwe only earn about 60 pounds a month and millions are unemployed!!!!

Till we meet again and "Selamat Menyambut Ramadan" ... Also not forgetting Al Fatihah to Allahyarham Mohd Asharaf Hafiz ....
