MISREPRESENTED CONTEXT

1. I am indeed disgusted with attempts to misrepresent and take out of context what I wrote on my blog yesterday.
2. Those who did that highlighted only one part of paragraph 12 which read: “Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people for the massacres of the past.”
3. They stopped there and implied that I am promoting the massacre of the French.
4.If they had read d posting in its entirety & especially the subsequent sentence which read: “But by & large the Muslims hv not applied the “eye for an eye” law. Muslims don’t. The French shouldn’t. Instead the French should teach their people to respect other people’s feelings
5. Because of the spin and out of context presentation by those that picked up my posting, reports were made against me and I am accused of promoting violence etc… on Facebook and Twitter.
6. FB and Twitter had then requested the administrators of my Facebook and Twitter accounts to remove the postings. Despite attempts to explain the context of the posting, they were removed.
7. There is nothing I can do with FB and Twitter’s decision to remove my posting. To my mind, since they are the purveyor of freedom of speech, they must at least allow me to explain and defend my position.
8. But that is what freedom of speech is to them. On the one hand, they defended those who chose to display offending caricatures of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. and expect all Muslims to swallow it in the name of freedom of speech and expression.
On the other, they deleted deliberately that Muslims had never sought revenge for the injustice against them in the past.
9. Even my appeal that the French should explain the need to advise their people to be sensitive and respect the beliefs of other people is left out.
10. What is promoted by these reaction to my article is to stir French hatred for Muslims.

RESPECT OTHERS

1. A teacher in France had his throat slit by an 18-year-old Chechen boy. The killer was angered by the teacher showing a caricature of Prophet Muhammad. The teacher intended to demonstrate freedom of expression.
2. The killing is not an act that as a Muslim I would approve. But while I believe in the freedom of expression, I do not think it includes insulting other people. You cannot go up to a man and curse him simply because you believe in freedom of speech.
3. In Malaysia, where there are people of many different races and religions, we have avoided serious conflicts between races because we are conscious of the need to be sensitive to the sensitivities of others. If we are not, then this country would never be peaceful and stable.

USUL TIDAK PERCAYA KEPADA YAB PERDANA MENTERI

Saya telah bercadang untuk membawa usul tidak percaya terhadap YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin sebagai Perdana Menteri dalam Dewan Rakyat.
Tetapi Kerajaan menentukan usul ini tidak akan dikemukakan & dibahas dengan dua kali meletak usul ini di akhir sidang dewan. Usul Kerajaan didahulukan sehingga tidak ada masa untuk usul saya dibahas. Dengan cara ini sampai bila-bila pun usul saya tidak akan dibincang dalam dewan.
Oleh kerana saya tidak mungkin kemukakan usul saya dalam Parlimen maka saya terpaksa siar usul ini dalam blog saya untuk tatapan orang ramai.

Sekian. Terima kasih.

STANDING UP FOR HUMANITY

I had chosen to speak out despite being aware of the potential backlash. To my mind, keeping quiet is not an option...
...when all the tell-tale signs were pointing towards another situation whereby a big and powerful country imposed its will with im punity on a small and defenceless nation.
What transpired since my contentious speech at the UN General Assembly in September last year only served to prove that what I had said were mild and to a certain degree, restrained.

THE GOLDMAN SACHS AFFAIR

1. The Government seems pleased with the settlement with Goldman Sachs.
2. But the sum to be paid to Government is nothing compared to what is due to Malaysia.
3. The total amount that should be due is USD9.6 billion. What Goldman Sachs has agreed to pay is USD2.5 billion in cash. USD1.4 billion will be based on the proceeds of the assets now with Department of Justice (DOJ) of America.

MY RESIGNATION

1. Today we have a Government with the slimmest majority – just 2.

2. How did this happen?
3. When Najib lost the 14th General Election (GE), he knew he would be jailed for the crimes he committed.

4. So, immediately he proposed to PAS to set up a Malay Muslim Government.
5. But they did not have enough to form a Government. He needed more Malay support.

6. He claimed the PH Government was dominated by DAP and DAP would destroy the Malays.

4. Rakyat percaya inilah perjuangan kami dan rakyat beri kemenangan kepada kami bersama parti rakan lain.
