Bila Bulan Mengambang Ramai Jadi Parasit

Saya ingin berkongsi maklumat daripada Saudara Mohd Syamirulah Rahim mengenai mitos yang mengaitkan parasit, gula dan bulan mengambang yang sering dikongsi oleh laknat-laknat yang bersekolah tetapi mempunyai parasit memenuhi kaviti otak:

——————————–

PARASIT MENGGANAS KETIKA BULAN PENUH?

Sebuah kepercayaan khurafat yang sebenarnya sebahagian dari agenda besar yang membahayakan nyawa anak-anak kita.
***
Nematode, Cestodes, Trematodes. Ini adalah antara apa yang saya pelajari ketika tahun pertama sekolah perubatan lagi, didalam subjek Parasitology. Kami belajar mengenali apa itu parasites, meneliti rupabentuk mereka melalui mikroskop dan melukis kembali, mempelajari bagaimana cara mereka membiak dan keadaan mereka membiak.

Subjek Parasitology ini agak ketara di ingatan saya kerana itu tahun pertama saya di Russia, dan kebetulan itu winter pertama saya. Hendak ke kelas seawal jam 7 di pagi musim sejuk Russia sangat, sangat mencabar.

Atas sebab itulah saya sendiri cukup teringat memori belajar mengenali Taenia solium, saginata, loa loa, trichuris trichura onchocerca wusheriria entamoeba (dan pelbagai lagi).
Subjek parasitology tidak berakhir di situ. Throughout the years, kami mempelajari pula mengenai sistem tubuh badan. Bagaimana sistem pertahanan tubuh badan berfungsi, melindungi diri dari jangkitan parasit-parasit ini. Sampai tahun keempat, kami belajar sekali lagi mengenai parasitology khususnya melibatkan aspek pediatrik (kanak-kanak).

Kali ini termasuk juga bab rawatan dan bab komplikasi. Tak cukup dengan itu, di tahun enam, kami ulang sekali lagi bab jangkitan parasit melalui subjek Infectious Disease.

Kali ini lebih mencabar kerana kami perlu turun sendiri ke hospital penyakit berjangkit (infectious disease hospital) melihat sendiri penyakit-penyakit ini.
Dan itu pengalaman ketika study.

Bila masuk bekerja, jumpa sendiri pesakit yang ada helminth infection. My goodness. Lebih menakutkan dan ngeri. Saya pernah ada seorang pesakit, kanak-kanak dari kalangan orang asli. When we started the treatment, boleh keluar cacing-cacing tu selambak teruknya. And there is always a presentation.

Maksudnya pesakit jangkitan parasite ni tidak akan datang saja-saja dengan batuk selesema muntah with no clear presentation. There is always a presentation, but whether it is clear or not, it is up to the clinician untuk evaluate.

Sebab itulah tak pernah saya lihat pakar-pakar mendiagnosis jangkitan parasite/kecacingan hanya berdasarkan satu dua klu. Mesti ada “soalan-soalan spesifik” yang akan ditanyakan. Mesti ada pemeriksaan. Dan sudah tentu, untuk merawat, mesti ada bukti perlu disertakan.

Tidak pernah seorang doktor mendiagnosis seseorang pesakit, “Awak ada jangkitan kecacingan” melalui Facebook. Ianya tidak beretika. Diagnosis tidak boleh dibuat semudah itu. Apatah lagi mengatakan “awak perlu start makan ubat blablabla”.

Tiba tiba…
Sampai kepada saya sebuah dakwaan bahawasanya “parasite lebih aktif membiak ketika full moon”. Saya pertama kali dengar benda ini dari sumber luar negara, bukannya dari Malaysia.

Tak pernah-pernah masa saya belajar, ada dikaitkan dengan kitaran bulan terhadap jangkitan parasite. Fikir pun dah tak logik. Macam mana parasite tu tahu, esp kalau dia duduk dalam badan? Dia boleh nampak ke bulan tu full moon ke tidak? Apa mekanisma dia tahu? Nak merawat ni, its all about explaining.

Kalau air pasang sebab bulan penuh tu pun kita ada explanation dia, how would you explain parasite yang tak boleh nak appreciate phase of moon as their stimuli, tiba-tiba boleh react on that?

Moreover, sepanjang pengalaman saya termasuklah di jabatan kanak-kanak dan jabatan kecemasan, tak ada pula tiba-tiba kes kecacingan meningkat ketika bulan penuh. Kalau ada mesti kita dah boleh expect, sebulan sekali ada spike, peningkatan kes kecacingan. Kita ada statistik, ada rekod kedatangan pesakit, rekod kemasukan pesakit di ward. Tidak pernah wujud pattern tersebut – bila masuk time bulan purnama je, banyak kes kecacingan.

It does not make sense.
Saya cuba semak kesahihan dakwaan tersebut. Semua carian saya, membawa kepada laman-laman web “dubious” di Internet. Menariknya laman-laman ini tidak ada rujukan saintifik langsung.

Yang ada hanya anekdot dan testimoni. Menarik lagi, dakwaan kononnya full moon boleh mempengaruhi ini, sejarahnya boleh dijejaki sehingga ke zaman jahiliyah. Zaman eropah dalam pagan.

Heish, ini kepercayaan khurafat. Khurafat? Yelah, khurafat, mempercayai bahawa sesuatu fenomena alam yang berlaku boleh menentukan keadaan/kesihatan dalam keadaan tiada penjelasan yang diterima akal. Khurafat lah tu.

Percaya kalau burung terbang ke kiri atau kanan memberi petunjuk kepada perjalanan. Ini yang dinamakan tatayyur.

Arab zaman dulu percaya gerhana bulan dikaitkan dengan kematian. Nabi s.a.w cukup marah bila kematian anaknya dikaitkan dengan gerhana bulan.

Fenomena alam adalah tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah. Memang sesetengah fenomena alam boleh membawa kesan khasnya kepada kesihatan, tetapi bukanlah kepercayaan membuta tuli.

“Khurafat adalah kepercayaan kepada ramalan-ramalan bintang, zodiak, angka, nombor, kod matrik, tarikh kelahiran, abjad nama, rajah-rajah tertentu, kitaran hari dan bulan dalam kalendar, bertenung nasib dan sebagainya dalam merancang dan melaksanakan sesuatu perkara dan mengatur kehidupan serta menentukan masa depan;”, demikian disebutkan didalam garispanduan Khurafat yang dikeluarkan Jabatan Mufti Negeri Melaka.

Carian saya menerusi laman-laman sains pula menemui ZERO kaitan antara full moon dan jangkitan parasit. Takkanlah fenomena alam yang dah beribu tahun ni, tak pernah ada orang perasan dan buat kajian mengenainya dan membuktikannya? Tiada. Yang ada hanyalah kajian yang membuktikan fasa bulan TIADA KENA MENGENA dengan kesihatan.

Di jurnal kajian haiwan pula, ada dijumpai. Tapi semuanya menafikan dakwaan tersebut, atau memberikan penjelasan yang logik.

Contohnya dakwaan bahawa tabiat singa menjadi lebih kerap memburu ketika bulan penuh. Bukannya sebab singa tu ada sensor khas boleh tahu bulan dalam fasa apa. Tapi sebab bila bulan penuh, cahaya tersebut membantu singa memburu dengan lebih mudah. Itu penjelasan yang logik dan diterima akal, dan dibuktikan secara saintifik.

Menariknya, kaitan antara jangkitan parasite dan full moon, turut tidak lari dari dikaitkan dengan penyakit…u know it.. AUTISM.

Aik, dulu kata vaksin penyebab autism? Ini kata kononnya jangkitan parasite pula turut menyebabkan autism? It does not tally at all. Kita dah banyak kali ulang, autism is a spectrum of disease with multiple etiologies. Tapi tak pernah kita kaitkan antara jangkitan parasite dengan autism. Kanak-kanak autism dan kanak-kanak biasa, kedua-duanya berpotensi dijangkiti parasite. Tidak ada link mahupun correlation mengaitkan keduanya.

Buktinya cukup mudah. For the last few decades, bilangan kes parasitic infection adalah semakin berkurangan (kerana parasite dikaitkan dengan kebersihan, dan kita dah berjaya mencapai kebersihan yang banyak khususnya melibatkan negara dunia ketiga dan negara membangun).

Sedangkan, bilangan kes autism pula semakin meningkat over the last few decades. Ironinya, ini hujah geng mereka juga, bilangan kes autism semakin meningkat, puncanya adalah sebab thiomersal dalam vaksin.

Tapi bila kita remove dan ban thiomersal dari vaksin (following wakefield claim), kes autism tetap meningkat juga.

Dakwaan-dakwaan mereka ini terbukti tidak tally dan tidak saintifik.

Lebih menarik lagi, semua laman-laman yang membicarakan mengenai kaitan jangkitan parasit dengan bulan, pasti akan menyebut sesuatu yang digelar “parasite protocol”.

Manusia-manusia yang menyebarkan kerisauan dalam ibubapa bila mengatakan “anak jadi batuk masa bulan penuh sebab ada parasit”, mereka sendiri bila ditanya “habis nak buat macam mana?“, akan menjawab dengan “parasite protocol“.

Tidak ada yang menyuruh berjumpa doktor untuk pemeriksaan lanjut.
Parasite Protocol, kononnya ianya sebuah strategi khas membasmi kewujudan parasit dari tubuh badan.

Apa yang disebut sebagai kononnya “protocol” tersebut pun tidak ada satu guidelines yang jelas. It’s not “a” protocol.

Masing-masing laman web ada variasi masing-masing. It’s multiple protocols. Saya mencari lebih lanjut mengenai protocol ini.

Secara asasnya ia membawa general rule yang sama – katanya gula menyebabkan parasite menjadi aktif, tapi memakan sayur-sayuran akan mengurangkan keaktifannya.

Ini pelik. Kerana kalau disebut gula, dalam usus badan manusia semua jenis karbohidrat akan ditukarkan menjadi gula ringkas untuk tujuan penyerapan. Ini kami pelajari dalam bab digestive system.

Dari enzim-enzim yang ada, hinggalah struktur sel usus sendiri. Manakala sayur-sayuran pula, well guess what, sesetengah parasit merebak melalui sayur-sayuran pun. Not necessarily melalui daging atau sumber lain sahaja.

Bahan-bahan lain, tak usah cakap lah. Ada yang suruh beri air laut. Ada yang suruh beri pasir.

Ya, pasir.

“Protocol” ini bukan sehari sahaja. Tapi diulang-ulang setiap hari sehingga berbulan lamanya.

The protocol does not make sense. I look further into it just to be sure. Then it struck me. Ada manusia yang gila turut meletakkan CD sebagai sebahagian dari “parasite protocol”. Bukan CD movie tu. Tapi chlorine dioxide. Ianya bahan peluntur yang lebih kuat berbanding chlorin yang dicampurkan didalam air.

CD didalam parasite protocol ini dibancuh untuk diberikan dalam bentuk enema iaitu melalui dubur bayi.

Ironinya, dose chlorine dioxide yang diserap oleh bayi yang diberikan enema dari parasite protocol itu lebih toxic berbanding thiomersal didalam vaksin. Hypocrite kan, bila datang kepada vaksin golongan ini begitu anti dan sensitive dengan bahan-bahan didalamnya.

Tetapi dalam “parasite protocol”, campur macam-macam bahan yang kononnya dilabel “natural”, tak kisah pula diberi kepada bayi mereka. Walhal ada mereka tahu, apa “bahan kimia” yang terkandung dalam so called “natural product” tu?

Minyak kelapa dara itu sendiri essentially is trialglycerol. Sejenis “bahan kimia”. Ia diekstrak dan purify menggunakan enzim “Trypsin”, enzyme yang sama digunakan dalam pembuatan vaksin, yang mana ia boleh datang dari sumber porcine (babi) dan bovine (lembu).

Kita mudah percaya apa sahaja yang dinamakan “natural”. Walhal tidak semua yang dinamakan “natural” itu selamat.

Dan kini,

Dakwaan “full moon parasite” mula disebarkan di Malaysia. Berbahasa Melayu.

Dan kita tahu ianya disebarkan oleh golongan antivaksin juga.

Again, saya ulang berkali-kali sejak sebelum ini – ideologi antivaksin is just the tip of the iceberg. Ada banyak cara mereka mempengaruhi ibubapa.

Mereka mendakwa kononnya jaundis itu selamat, kononnya full moon parasite active. Then slowly mereka akan menghasut, sedikit demi sedikit.
Siapa mereka ini? One for sure, mereka tak belajar subjek Parasitology mahupun Parasitic Infection dan perubatan.

Dan secondly for sure,
Mereka sendiri, apabila sakit atau anak anda sakit akibat mengikut nasihat yang mereka berikan, akan datang ke hospital juga. Mencari doktor. Bukan mereka.

The Malay Barua

PKR’s habitual liar Rafizi Ramli has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for being in possession and publicly disclosing documents that have been classified under the Official Secrets Act, 1972. Rafizi, who is known for repeatedly dishing out lies for the public’s consumption, had been warned on several occassions that he would be committing an offence under the said Act if he chose to disclose the contents of the 1MDB audit report.

Rafizi likes to portray himself as a hero and whistleblower when all his employed methods have been going against the various respective laws. He probably felt invincible when in two previous cases involving the Prime Minister and wife, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister, he got away after the plaintiffs let him off provided he removed slanderous postings from his social media. Two weeks ago he was told to pay RM200,000 to the Chairman of the National Feedlot Company and to the Company for defamation. This time around, he has been found guilty in a criminal court and is therefore a convicted criminal.

Firdaus Azil of BERNAMA pointed out on Twitter that there are five Opposition lawmakers who have the same report in their possession – two from the DAP, two from PKR and one from PAS, yet none of them have disclosed anything. The five Opposition lawmakers include DAP’s hot-air balloon, Tony Pua, whom, as a member of the Public Accounts Commitee, has been very vocal on the 1MDB issue. Yet Tony has revealed nothing from the audit report. Firdaus asked his followers why hasn’t Tony Pua revealed any of the information he is privy to? The answer he gave is that Tony, as air-head as he may be, is not stupid.

Therefore my conclusion is simple: Tony creates all the hullabaloo and lets someone as drama queen and dumb as Rafizi to do his dirty job for him.

What then is Rafizi if not a Malay barua?

Minyak Habis Sambal Tak Enak

Dua bulan yang lepas saya telah menghadiri perjumpaan bekas Pegawai Kadet Tentera Udara DiRaja Malaysia yang dilatih di Sekolah Pegawai Kadet TUDM di TUDM Kinrara dan TUDM Subang. Antara perkataan yang terbit dalam ucapan-ucapan pada malam tersebut adalah perkataan MANTAN.’ Salah satu teori yang diketengahkan mengenai perkataan tersebut ialah ianya berasal dari Indonesia dan membawa maksud ‘Mundar mANdir tanpa jawaTAN.’ Teori kedua mencadangkan maksud ‘Manusia Tanpa Nafsu.’ Apa jua maksud yang tersirat nukilan saya pada malam ini adalah mengenai rengekan mantan Ketua Puteri UMNO Bahagian Sepang dan mungkin kini ahli Pergerakan Wanita UMNO Cawangan Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi, Rina Mohd Harun di dalam laman Facebooknya.

Begitulah rengekan Saudari Rina mengenai kepayahan hidup yang dialami oleh orang ramai. Saya yakin sebagai mantan ketua sebuah pergerakan di peringkat UMNO Bahagian, beliau pernah menghadiri kursus-kursus jatidiri di pusat-pusat latihan UMNO terutamanya di Janda Baik dan Kemensah. Beliau juga telah diberi ilmu dan cara-cara untuk menjawab pertanyaan serta menangkis tohmahan yang dibawa pihak pembangkang. Berlatarbelakangkan sebuah sekolah berasrama penuh yang berprestasi tinggi serta latihan-latihan yang telah diterima dari UMNO saya lebih mengharapkan Saudari Rina mempunyai kemantapan daya juang yang tinggi, matang pemikiran dan lebih bijaksana.

Malangnya, setelah habis beribu nampaknya hasilnya tiada. Bagai minyak habis sambal tak enak.

Seperti penulisan saya tempoh hari, saya telah menjelaskan (biarpun dalam bahasa yang mungkin sukar Saudari Rina fahami) bahawa pihak Kerajaan telah memberi subsidi kepada 23 pengeluar minyak masak utama untuk mengeluarkan 85,000 tan minyak masak untuk kegunaan rakyat setiap bulan. Kajian mendapati rakyat Malaysia hanya menggunakan sebanyak 45,000 tan minyak masak sebulan manakala 40,000 tan lagi hilang atau tidak dapat dikesan dan dipercayai diseludup oleh pengedar ke negara-negara jiran.

Rasional penghapusan subsidi bagi semua jenis minyak masak kecuali minyak masak 1kg yang dijual di dalam polybag adalah supaya kegiatan penyuludupan minyak dapat dikurangkan dan dihapuskan kerana ianya lebih sukar untuk menyeludup keluar minyak masak di dalam polybag. Subsidi boleh ditukarkan ke bentuk lain yang lebih tepat disaluran kepada golongan sasaran. Golongan berpendapatan rendah dan juga peniaga restoran dan gerai kecil-kecilan lebih gemar menggunakan minyak masak dalam polybag 1kg maka ini bermakna bahawa kos sara hidup golongan-golongan tersebut tidak berubah, dan makanan yang mereka jual juga tidak patut dinaikkan harga. Bukankah ini lebih baik dari wang subsidi hasil cukai rakyat dimanafaatkan oleh rakyat Malaysia sendiri dan bukan oleh warga asing?

Mengenai kesukaran mendapatkan bekalan minyak masak, sesiapa yang mempunyai akal dan logik yang baik pasti tahu adalah mustahil untuk negara alami kekurangan bekalan minyak masak sedangkan penggunaan bulanan hanyalah 45,000 tan sedangkan minyak masak yang dihasilkan adalah sebanyak 80,000 tan. Sekiranya Saudari Rina dan para pengomen statusnya itu mempunyai akal yang baik maka sudah tentu mereka boleh mengagak bahawa kekurangan bekalan minyak masak adalah disebabkan oleh perbuatan sorok oleh para peniaga agar 1) para pelanggan membeli minyak 5kg sahaja, atau, 2) stok yang sedia ada boleh dijual apabila harga siling minyak selain minyak polybag 1kg naik pada bulan Januari 2017.

Sekiranya Saudari Rina dan para pengomen mendapati sukar untuk tiba ke logik tersebut maka saya cadangkan supaya mereka lakukan carian Google untuk berita yang berkenaan perkara tersebut. Yang itu paling mudah. Cuma saya ingin menbuat suatu perbandingan di sini: saya mempunyai 10 mulut di dalam rumah saya yang perlu diberi makanan setiap hari. Minyak masak 5kg yang berharga RM15.25 boleh bertahan selama tiga minggu di rumah saya. Ini bermakna saya hanya berbelanja sebanyak 71 Sen sehari untuk minyak masak. Adakah Saudari Rina serta para pengomen menggunakan minyak masak lebih dari saya setiap hari?

Harga sayur naik, petik di belakang rumah.

Saya amat tertarik dengan kenyataan ini, Sebagai seorang politikus yang terpelajar pasti Saudari Rina peka dengan masalah bekalan makanan di Malaysia. Malaysia mempunyai 30 juta penduduk yang memerlukan 2.9 billion tan metrik beras setiap tahun, dan permintaan untuk beras dan lain-lain bahan makanan bertambah setiap tahun dengan bertambahnya bilangan penduduk negara ini iaitu pada kadar 3.9 peratus di antara 2012 dan 2013. Walaupun kita mengimport makanan terutamanya beras, kita masih belum dapat mencapai 100 peratus Self-Sufficiency Level (SSL) terutamanya untuk beras.

Memetik sayur di belakang rumah sendiri bukanlah suatu perkara yang baru. Saya sendiri mempunyai tanaman keperluan harian di laman rumah saya seperti cili, limau kasturi, limau purut, belimbing buluh, pandan, serai, pisang, daun sup dan lain-lain. Pada tahun 1974, untuk mengurangkan kesan inflasi Perdana Menteri Kedua, Tun Haji Abdul Razak telah melancarkan Kempen Buku Hijau dengan menambahkan hasil pengeluaran makanan dengan memaksimumkan penggunaan tanah. Melalui rancangan ini rakyat dikehendaki bergiat cergas dalam memajukan bidang ekonomi terutamanya dalam sektor pertanian. Antara rancangan yang telah diberi penekanan ialah galakan tanaman jangka pendek dan penternakan ayam itik dan juga pemeliharaan ikan air tawar serta sistem pemasaran yang lebih licin melalui agensi-agensi seperti FAMA, LPP, RISDA dan Jabatan Pertanian.

Memetik sayur yang ditanam sendiri di belakang rumah bukanlah bererti kemunduran. Negara-negara Barat seperti Amerika Syarikat, Kanada, Kesatuan Eropah telah lama sedari betapa pentingnya keselamatan makanan (food security) dalam mengurangkan kos sara hidup dan kos makanan yang dijual.

Jika kita tidak mempraktikkan penanaman sayur-sayuran di rumah atau kebun maka kita akan rasa tertekan. Malaysia mengimport sebanyak RM45 billion makanan dari luar negara dan jenis makanan yang diimport adalah tembikai, pisang, rambutan, bawang, bawng putih, ubi keledek, tomato dan cili! Ini semua merupakan makanan yang boleh kita petik di belakang rumah. Dan harga makanan ini semua tertakluk kepada harga matawang asing! Kalau tak mampu, maka ubahlah cara hidup dan tanam tanaman-tanaman yang dinyatakan di atas. Jangan kita jadi pemalas. Malah saya sendiri menunggu siapnya rangkaian LRT dan MRT sepenuhnya supaya boleh saya beli sebuah basikal untuk saya gunakan dari rumah atau pejabat ke stesen LRT/MRT yang berhampiran.

Begitulah kisahnya ya Saudari Rina. Saya yang tiada latihan UMNO pun rasanya boleh memberi penjelasan yang agak baik berbanding dengan Saudari Rina yang cepat putus asa dan jumud minda. Saya tidak boleh bayangkan bagaimana Saudari Rina menjadi seorang ketua/pemegang jawatan sedangkan Saudari Rina hanya menunggu untuk disuap jawapan dan tiada langsung inisiatif untuk menghuraikan persoalan dan tangani segala kegusaran yang ada. Sebaliknya, Saudari Rina merendahkan marabat Saudari Rina sendiri dari kedudukan seorang ketua kepada seorang pengikut. Ada sebab Saudari Rina memegang jawatan – ianya menunjukkan ada yang percaya Saudari Rina boleh berfikir dan fikirkan cara-cara untuk membantu yang tidak boleh naik ke atas. Bukannya sama-sama membuntu dengan yang sepatutnya dipimpin.

Kesian UMNO dan kesiankan mereka yang memilih anda untuk memimpin mereka kerana sikap anda telah menggagalkan impian mereka buat anda.

Pascal Najadi – Shut The Fuck Up

As usual, Pascal Najadi is on the freight train on the Trans-Siberia railway line while others have arrived at Vladivostok from Moscow, he is still being a bloody buttock of a cow.

He still laments the ‘absence’ of investigation into the assassination of his father when the truth is that even the trial is already over.

Perhaps if he was to cut down his time in Geneva at the Pâquis and spend more time in the real world then he would know that the man who murdered his father actually meant to murder someone else, and his father just happened to be in the right place but at the wrong time .

Get a life Pascal. Go spend your father’s money – the one you have denied your stepmother to, stay being a Swiss and stop meddling in the affairs of Malaysia.

BERSIH Is Pathetic

Pathetic!

In a reply to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Azalina Othman, BERSIH supremo Maria Chin claims that it is difficult to raise funds locally.

Black Maria grinning silly lying through her gums

She said this after a DC Leaks exposé that links BERSIH to funds from George Soros’s OSF.

George Soros has since lamely denied that he was funding the overthrowing of governments.

It is difficult for me to believe that such an internationally-renowned organisation such as BERSIH that claims to have the support of at least 250,000 zombies that turned up at each rally that believe in its struggle cannot raise funds from them.

If BERSIH was to ask for just RM50 from each of those 250,000 in a show of solidarity and support, BERSIH would have collected RM12.5 million for each rally organised. That equals to 694,445 Venti-sized drinks at a Starbucks where Maria and her fellow organisers could have while watching rally participants get bludgeoned by the Federal Reserve Unit through Facebook Live.

The fact that Maria admits having a tough time raising funds to finance her coup d’etat attempts shows that she does not have the support of the majority of Malaysians.

Pathetic!

How Kutty Destroyed Melaka Kutty Will Destroy Malaysia

Mahathir named Soros as the person behind the currency attacks of 1997-98

“It was a well-coordinated efforts to destabilise Asean currencies for self-serving purposes,” said a joint-comunique by ASEAN Foreign Ministers in 1997 on the serious attacks by George Soros and his Open Society Institute on ASEAN currencies. Pribumi founder, Mahathir, who was the Prime Minister then said Soros was using the wealth under his control to punish Asean for welcoming Burma. “There is definite evidence that we cannot disclose,” he said. “There is no doubt he did it.”

Yesterday, minutes of meeting that happened on the 22nd June 2015 between Soros’s Open Society Foundation with local opposition-leaning organisations such as but not limited to the likes of the Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research was made available by DC Leaks, the same organisation that exposed Hillary Clinton’s e-mails scandal.

Plans have been made to mobilise what has been named as the ‘Malaysia Programme – Portfolio Review Outcome Summary‘ to influence domestic politics in anticipation of the 14th General Elections that is expected to be held by May of 2018. The programme includes:

Greater mobilisation of the Muslim population as current involvement is not satisfactory.
Greater mobilisation of minority groups, women, Orang Asli and rural youth.
Engage with Election Commission, explore any possibility of policy reform, and identify clear policy targets.
Begin the process of leveraging the programmes’ existing networks in the country from this year onwards.
Develop a strong post-election mechanism to ensure documentation of any dispute can be quickly presented, unlike the 2013 election.

Other revelations:

OSF monitors and attempts to chart domestic politics since 2010, shortly after Datuk Seri Najib Razak assumed the office of prime minister.
The foundation had engaged in lobbying or “advocacy” in the US to shore up support for its efforts in Malaysia.
The most successful initiative was making “grants” or providing funds for friendly groups working for a common cause.
Following negative media exposure of Soros, the programme has proceeded in secret, with staff working quietly to minimise public exposure.
MalaysiaKini and its online broadcast service KiniTV received special allocations for election reporting, with ongoing support outside the election season.

img-20161031-wa003 — The three pages of the minutes that were leaked by DC Leaks

Merdeka Centre’s Ibrahim Suffian admitted that he was among the attendees along with OSF’s President, Christopher Stone. OSF has been providing “grants” to “local networks” and while no NGO was named, Mahathir-friendly BERSIH’s recently-arrested Chairman Maria Chin admitted to having received such grant.

The OSF does not only meddle in Malaysia but encourages “coloured” protests in Asia (where in Malaysia it is YELLOW) and also seeks to influence elections in the European Union. So, how can BERSIH be a free and fair movement when it is actually doing the bidding for a foreign megalomaniac?

It is odd but hardly surprising that Mahathir, who just last year said that street rallies were not the way to get what was desired and that this should be seen as a last resort, has announced that he has his own BERSIH 5 t-shirt and will be attending the rally. Mahathir, after all, is now shedding his Malay skin. The survival of the Malays and the cohesion of the multiracial society is no longer of any significance to him. All that matters is for him to fulfill his personal agenda and interests whatever it is that those may be. For that he is willing to work with his sworn enemies such as Lim Kit Siang, Mohammad Sabu, Anwar Ibrahim.

He even made friends with Malaysian-enemy-numero-uno George Soros himself! He buried the hatchet used to attack Soros even back in December 2006 saying, “You (Soros) personally are not involved but the devaluation was done by other traders and I accept that you are not involved.”

So was he wrong about Soros? Were all those suicides, broken marriages, depression caused by loss of income and closure of businesses back in 1997-98 not the result of Soros’s attacks on Asian currencies? Mahathir was cocksure it was Soros who did it! If he was wrong then, what else could he be wrong about?

Being funded by a megalomaniac to influence the outcome of elections is not a democratic process. Working for foreigners to form a government that kowtows to them is nothing short of treason. Societies will be destroyed, the spirit of our independence diluted, the way of life as we know it will no longer be there. Races will be pitted against one another. Resentment will grow to biblical proportions. Blood will be spilt and lives will be lost.

In the end, foreign troops will walk all over us.

Therefore in my book, both BERSIH and Mahathir are traitors.

Just as how one Kutty brought down the Melaka empire by opening the gates to foreign soldiers 505 years ago.

Selangor Water Crisis: Politicising Water

Today is DAY SIX that taps have run dry for about 360,000 account holders or 1.6 million residents in the most developed state of Selangor. DAP supporters have gone quiet in residents’ WhatsApp groups while those who will be celebrating Deepavali are screaming for vengeance. Some are already asking “Mana Hannah Yeoh?” while Azmin Ali who, under his tutelage Selangor has seen the most of water disruptions, has reneged on the usual promise of announcing the biggest exposé on those he blamed this current water crisis on.

The MP for Kelana Jaya, Wong Chen, has since appeared on WhatsApp groups trying to appease voters. The following is his message:

Message from MP Wong Chen this morning 27 Oct.

Good morning from Parliament. We have been sitting the last few days up to 9.30 pm every night. The budget session is the most important session of the year but this year the government slashed some 8 days of sitting and as such we are forced to go beyond our 5.30 pm sitting by four extra hours a day to 9.30 pm every day.

This morning I want to talk about the water crisis affecting 1 million residents in Selangor. I have been following closely the water crisis in Selangor, affecting a large part of my constituents in Subang Jaya. YB Hannah Yeoh has been updating regularly, she is on the ground distributing water and engaging residents. Residents are going into their 5th day without water. And we had a water crisis barely a month before.

In Parliament, I bumped into Minister Wan Junaidi and also separately the Deputy Minister Hamim on several occassions. I keep asking for their quicker action. They keep saying that Selangor must also do their bit. I have also relayed some of my ideas to YB Zuraida to pass on to the MB.

Wan Junaidi do not believe the current pollution crisis to be an act of deliberate political sabotage. Deputy Minister Hamim, who is an engineer and someone I enjoyed working with on the TPPA (when he was Deputy Minister of MITI), will not speculate but says that the problem is not new. The federal government has resources but water is a state matter.

I am of the view that with the economy slowing, more and more companies will try to cut costs by dumping pollution straight into the river.

Enforcement in Malaysia has always been a challenge. A widely held view is the enforcement officers are either stretched thin, overworked or at the other end of the spectrum, just plain corrupt being paid by polluters to turn a blind eye.

If enforcement officers are not effective then we have to bring in the accountants.

The obvious solution is to track historical records of industrial waste output of each factory and counter check with their disposal costs. If a factory is found to have slashed spending substantially on disposal of industrial waste in the last year, then we can assume that they are engaging in illegal dumping. A major discrepency in the accounts should be a basis for a full investigation and raid by enforcement officers.

The state should also set up a benchmark of waste output for each industry to red flag any unusual data volatility. Setting up patrol units along the rivers is not going to help as much as sending in the accountants.

Bottomline is this. If the economy deteriorates, we can expect more and more water cuts stemming from increased pollution activity.

Irate residents will not listen to excuses or causes. Understandably, they just want water and they want this crisis to not repeat. As such Selangor must dramatically improve its emergency water delivery system. We need more water tanks and we need delivery to be on schedule and to be regular.

We need to also beef up security monitoring at our rivers. We need night time road blocks to monitor all suspicious trucking activities. More importantly is we need new people to lead such enforcement. A fresh start with new officers.

We need to bring in the accountants. We need all factories in Selangor to disclose their waste inventory. And we need to catch the culprits, severely punish them to end this cycle of water cuts.

Lastly, I beg the residents to also empathise with the authorities. You will not find a harder working ADUN in Malaysia than YB Hannah Yeoh. If you see her on your streets at midnight distributing water, give her a pat on the back.

Wong Chen may be the sanest of the PKR lot probably due to being an idealist more than a politician. But he is saying nothing new, not a lot, and has nothing much to offer.

Firstly, it is obvious that as an MP he is not aware that all matters pertaining to land and water belongs to the respective states. Had he known this he would not have approached Wan Junaidi or his deputy Hamim.

As advised by industry players as early as 2011, the Selangor State government should gazette water catchment areas and implement the Langat2 Water Treatment Plant project. The State government did not do the first and delayed the second suggestion until it was too late.

Secondly, the economy is not slowing. Slowing down means that there will be negative growth. Wong Chen is probably not aware that even the World Bank says that the Malaysian economy is growing at a slower rate in 2016 but will pick up in 2017 and 2018.

Even in the 1990s when the economy was vibrant and our growth rate exceeded eight percent, business owners were dumping industrial scheduled wastes into rivers. It has nothing to do with our economy. It has all to do with our mentality and screw-all attitude.

Enforcement is lacking, no doubt, but stretched thin is the more than likely case. They can’t all be corrupted just as not all bungalows without swimming pools are cheap. So we just do not have the numbers needed to police based on a personnel to area ratio. And it doesn’t help when motormouth Tony Pua wants to trim down the civil service if he comes into power!

Even tracking of industrial waste output needs the manpower to do it. You can’t just sit in the office, tap on some keys and expect the numbers on the screen to tally with what is being produced in the real world.

Security monitoring of our rivers would go back to two things: manpower and gazetting water catchment areas! Why is there a need to repeat this over and over again? Everything points back to those two!

Hannah Yeoh the hardest working ADUN in Malaysia? I have seen better-working ones even from the DAP back in the 1970s. Distributing bottled water can be sub-contracted out to Bangladeshi workers. A hardworking ADUN would be screaming in the Dewan for more manpower to enforce gazetted water catchment areas. Not seek political mileage and benefitting from the misery of others!

Si Bedal Kurang Semporna

Artikel asal telah ditulis oleh Saudara Hafizi Harris di laman Facebooknya semalam (Selasa 25hb Oktober 2016):

_____________________________

Hari ini Shafie Apdal, Ahli Parlimen Semporna telah membuat pembohongan di Parlimen. Di antaranya ialah:

1) Shafie mendakwa 60% daripada Bandar Malaysia telah dijual kepada China.

Ini tidak benar. 60% daripada Bandar Malaysia telah dijual kepada 60% konsortium Iskandar Waterfront Holdings (IWH) dan 40% kumpulan China Railway.

Pegangan saham IWH ialah 40% Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor (KPRJ – Johor State Govt) dan 60% Sumber Kepercayaan (Tan Sri Dato ‘Lim Kang Hoo).

A. 40% 1MDB atau MOF Inc (sekiranya saham dipindahkan), 36% IWH dan 24% CREC. Oleh itu, pemilikan projek utama adalah 76% Malaysia dan 24% China.

2. Shafie mendakwa 1MDB sahaja menggunakan Arul Kanda dan tidak mewujudkan peluang pekerjaan manakala bail-out untuk Proton dan MAS menyelamatkan pekerjaan.

Pertama, tidak seperti Proton dan MAS, 1MDB tidak pernah diselamatkan oleh kerajaan.

Mungkin Shafie Apdal tidak pernah pergi ke Sendayan untuk melihat pangkalan udara baru sedang dibina atau 7 kemudahan tentera di seluruh negara yang sedang dibina sekarang dibiayai oleh 1MDB sebagai sebahagian daripada perjanjian pertukaran mereka dengan MINDEF?

Atau beribu-ribu pekerja di TRX sekarang ini yang sedang berusaha menyiapkannya atau puluhan ribu pekerjaan yang akan diwujudkan apabila TRX mula beroperasi, dalam suasana pelaburan asing telah diterima daripada Australia, Indonesia dan Hong Kong?

Ia sudah pasti bukan hanya Arul Kanda sahja bekerja di sana😃

3. Shafie mendakwa bahawa Sabah dan Sarawak adalah negeri-negeri yang paling miskin dan mereka sedang disalah urus😂

Sabah mencatatkan pertumbuhan gaji kedua tertinggi 37.5% dan Sarawak mencatatkan 26% pertumbuhan gaji sejak 2010 – berbanding dengan hanya 17.2% bagi Pulau Pinang dan 20.8% bagi Selangor.

Berasaskan pendapatan isi rumah, Sabah sekali lagi mencatat pertumbuhan pendapatan isi rumah kedua tertinggi 81.3% manakala Sarawak mencapai 57.8% – kedua-dua outreached Selangor dan Pulau Pinang.

Pada KDNK asas per kapita, Sarawak dan Sabah bukanlah negeri-negeri yang paling miskin. Sarawak sebenarnya negeri ke-4 terkaya dan mempunyai KDNK per kapita sebanyak RM44k – bersamaan dengan Pulau Pinang. Walaupun Sabah mencatatkan RM19,700 – lebih tinggi daripada Kedah dan Kelantan.

Kadar kemiskinan tegar di Sabah juga menurun daripada 19.2% pada tahun 2009 kepada hanya 3.9% pada tahun 2014.

Manakala di Sarawak, kadar kemiskinan tegar juga berkurangan daripada 5.3% kepada 0.6%.

Malah, Sabah mempunyai rizab negeri RM2.33 bilion pada 2014 – hampir dua kali ganda daripada Pulau Pinang manakala Sarawak mempunyai rizab sebanyak RM27 bilion pada tahun 2014 – atau kira-kira 8 kali lebih tinggi daripada Selangor.

Malah Sabah dan Sarawak telah menerima bantuan dan pembangunan yang lebih besar daripada Kerajaan Persekutuan sejak 2009.

Jadi, bagaimana Shafie Apdal mewajarkan bahawa Sabah dan Sarawak adalah negeri termiskin dan sedang disalah urus?

Hanya kerana Shafie mempunyai imuniti parlimen maka dengan sewenang – wenangnya bercakap berdasarkan fakta media tanpa fakta sebenar?😂

Water: Time For Azmin To Sue BN

There is no water in most parts of Selangor…again. And this is due to the Semenyih river being polluted…again. And The administratively-impotent Menteri Besar, Azmin Ali, has blamed everyone else but the weakness of his administration…again.

I cannot remember how many water cuts has it been since August but this time Azmin has taken the idiot-level a step up by blaming the Barisan Nasional.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt one can only blame the Pakatan-led Selangor government for its failure to gazette water catchment areas, continuing to allow industries to encroach river buffer zones despite having an enactment to enforce a ban, and failure to haul the culprits in previous episodes of water cuts to court. Barisan Nasional is not in charge of administering Selangor so start pointing your finger at yourself!

This is typical of Pakatan Haprak (Harapan + Rakyat). They shout out rhetorics about bringing prices down and only Lim Guan Eng gets a discount for his bungalow. Is Pakatan Haprak really concerned about the welfare of the rakyat? Are they even democratic as claimed? I doubt. The walkout done by them from the tabling of the budget session last Friday is a poignant reminder of that.

This edited photo of Pakatan Harapan leaders after the staged walkout has made its way around in the Internet

Blaming provocation Azmin said that the budget delivered by Najib Razak did not address the fundamental issues. If the Pakatan leaders cannot stand mere provocation then how is it going to find the patience to even listen to the rakyat? I got blocked by the various Pakatan leaders on Twitter for asking a simple question that they have refused to answer! I am sure there are many more whom have been treated in the same manner by Pakatan leaders!

Walking out of Parliament like spoilt little girls isn’t the only thing that Pakatan Haprak MPs are famous for; they also did not attend Parliament to vote against the Peaceful Assembly Bill and the Prevention of Terrorism Bill that have now been enacted. Then, they label the laws passed as draconian and restrictive but what have they done to ensure that these Acts never got passed in the first place? At the hint of a struggle, they collapse like jelly.

And I am sure they had to suddenly squeeze those placards out from their rear orifice because they claim that the walkout was not planned.

You can read for yourselves the disappointment that the Pakatan Haprak is:

Is Azmin Ali interested in doing work as a Menteri Besar? No.

Is Pakatan Haprak interested in democracy? No.

They are only interested in using the rakyat‘s money to finance their campaign and lifestyle. And Pakatan Haprak will cling on to power so that they can continue this financed lifestyle while you and I will have to endure endless water cuts!

If Azmin Ali feels he is right about Barisan Nasional sabotaging the water supply, provide evidence to the police and arrest the culprits. Or shut up and continue to remain the screwed-up little girl he is!

The Johor Conundrum

Has Khaled Nordin lost control over Johor?

Blogger Life of Annie wrote on the 24th May 2013:

Five years from now, Johor will not even be an Umno stronghold if those in control of the party are “beraja di mata, bersultan dihati” even among their fellow Umno people.

Do mark my word on this.

It took merely almost three and a half years before that actually happened following the departure of Jorak assemblyman Datuk Dr Shahruddin Md Salleh from UMNO to join Mahathir’s Pribumi. For the first time in 61 years, the Barisan Nasional/Alliance holds its two-thirds majority in its Peninsular safe deposit, Johor, by a single thread.

Losing two-thirds majority in UMNO’s bastion used to be unthinkable right until the 13th General Elections when the Chinese Tsunami swept many state and parliamentary seats. It lost 12 seats in the last general elections compared to GE12 in 1998, and this time around the biggest gainer was the DAP with nine extra seats. Barisan Nasional ended up initially with 38 out of the 56 seats. With the departure of Jorak, it now holds the two-third majority with the bare minimum number of seats.

Despite the progress and development that are taking place in Johor, Ghani was trounced not because he did not do his job, but because of blatant racial sentiment. As with the previous three general elections, Ghani would not be seen sitting comfortably in his office at least two years prior to the elections. He would be on the ground making sure that the machinery is ready to face the next battle, and there would be elections simulations held at various levels of the state’s BN. Ghani would also make sure that his relationship with the Johor Civil Service (JCS) remain at the highest level.

Life of Annie also pointed out that when Ghani pointed out to Khaled that his Pasir Gudang division was in danger of falling into the Opposition’s hands, Khaled did not take that rather well and rubbished the findings. The simulation was almost correct – Barisan Nasional held on to Pasir Gudang with less than 1,000 votes ahead.

With Ghani ousted, Khaled wanted to make his own mark as the Menteri Besar. The job as the Menteri Besar of Johor is not exactly an easy one. With a Sultan who can be somewhat overbearing and often puts his hands into the affairs of the state administration, the Menteri Besar would have to know how to manage both the Sultan and the state administration without upsetting either one. Ghani was an old hand at this and knew exactly how to handle the Sultan, having had to also manage the unconventional behaviour of the Almarhum Sultan Iskandar previously. He had a good relationship with both Sultans, knowing when exactly to pull the strings and when to let it slack. Khaled is said to let the Sultan have things his way so much so that even the promotion of JCS officers is left for the Sultan to decide. While Ghani was often seen patting the back of JCS officers for the good job that they do, Khaled lets the Sultan do the Menteri Besar’s job for him. While the Sultan might like it, this doesn’t augur well for the state Barisan Nasional. Any administration would want to have some form of control over its civil service and a good rapport to go with.

The number of gatekeepers one needs to go through to get to Khaled is another common complaint by the common people. Journalists covering Khaled also complain that at almost every event, Khaled is being surrounded by his posse of young lieutenants, even to the extent of having the nearest table to the VIP table occupied solely by this group of people. This makes Khaled look like the overgrown hipster. It only makes the Menteri Besar less approachable even to the Ketua Bahagians. It is said that he was advised by UMNO veterans to go down and meet the grassroot leaders. His response was, “Aku tak kenal orang Johor (I don’t know the Johor leaders).”

It is already less than two years to the next general elections. Unlike Ghani before him, Khaled is still mostly seen in Johor Bahru. Ghani and his executive councillors would have been scouring the state to see what else that have been missed. Speaking to a Puteri UMNO division head recently she expressed her worry that none of the division heads have actually begun to activate their election machineries in a concerted manner. This particular Puteri UMNO head has had to conduct her own voters and membership registration drive; an effort which is puny compared to the ones that have and are being done by the DAP in Johor alone. If you were to ask the UMNO division chiefs in Johor, they would tell you that all is rosy, and that is until you speak to them on a one-on-one basis. However, Khaled has told reporters that the Johor Barisan Nasional still holds a comfortable majority despite it being razor thin after the departure of Jorak. To the UMNO grassroots, Khaled’s confidence is extremely worrying.

It is no secret that the DAP will be working with Pribumi to wrestle control of Johor from the Barisan Nasional come GE14. It is hardly an impossible task too! Muhyiddin might be a figure to be reckoned with both in Pagoh and Muar, but outside those two areas, he is still remembered as the person who sold Johor Malays’ rights to the Chinese. Mahathir knows this very well as he was the one who rescued Muhyiddin when the latter became a persona non grata in Johor in the early 1990s. Mahathir knows that Muhyiddin carries a lot of baggage with him and would not be the correct person to lead the country if the Opposition wins. There is already an attempt to kill Muhyiddin politically. You hardly hear of any statement being made by Muhyiddin while Mukhriz is seen going around in Johor conducting membership registration drives. No clues needed for the question on who is Mahathir’s choice for PM.

DAP on the other hand, wants to conquer the western Johor belt, where there is a significant number of Chinese population as compared to the eastern belt. During a dinner at the Landmark Hotel with Batu Pahat DAP members, DAP’s MP for Kluang Liew Chin Tong and ADUN for Senai Wong Shu Qi related the plan to wrestle Parit Sulong, Pulai and Pasir Gudang. With Batu Pahat already in PKR’s hands, all that is needed is for Muar to fall, and it is most likely that Muhyiddin would contest there, if not the often-clueless Syed Saddiq, a Muarian himself.

Even Azmin Ali does not want to be left out by the Mahathir and Pribumi bandwagon. He was seen recently in Muar together with Mahathir at a Pribumi event. It is no secret that he is heading the drive for PKR to work together with Mahathir – a sentiment not shared by the pro-Wan Azizah camp that includes Wan Azizah loyalists Rafizi Ramli and Wong Chen. There is even talk that Azmin might work towards dissolving PKR and jump en masse into Pribumi. While that is not totally impossible, the departure of Ezam from UMNO to Pribumi has certainly strengthen that theory.

The Johor conundrum is something that the Barisan Nasional (read UMNO) cannot take lightly if it were to gain more seats in the next general elections. If Khaled is not moving, then someone should take the lead and face the Opposition head on. There are two FELDA regions that need to be handled with care. Khaled should realise that there is more to Johor than just Johor Bahru. He has to go down on the ground and get the feel himself instead of relying on reports from the UMNO divisions and the various sugar-coated reports from agencies. If you do not know the terrain and its people, you will lose the war. Don’t be like Hamid Karzai who was dubbed the ‘Mayor of Kabul‘ despite being the President of Afghanistan!

And in the words of Life of Annie opus citatum:

If this is how Khaled’s people want to behave, then I dare say that he will be just a one term MB and Johor will fall five years from now.
