come what may.....

Hi Folks,

Back again...after a week of the Eid Mubarak Break....back to life again.......

Takziah/Condolence

Very tragic to hear our fellow countryman who was a photojournalist from Bernama lost his life.  Let us put politics aside, he was there simply to cover the famine or humanitarian crisis that has been lingering in Somalia for decades.  No doubt, we want the culprit who is responsible for his death to face justice, but again his bravery and sense of humanity is what should make us Malaysian proud because we assisting and lending a hand to another country that is really in need of food and medicine. 
It is really unfortunate that when incidence like this happen, there are groups of 'intelligent people' who just love to gain the political mileage and start condemning and finding blame with what has happened. 
Obviously, the government have done its part to ensure that the trip was going to be safe, but as unexpected the unfortuante incident happened.  To make it interesting according to BBC, the shot that was responsible for the death of our fellow countryman was coming from the Peacekeeping force of the African Union!  Not from bandits or militias or gangs or thugs, but from the Peackeeping force from the African Union countries.  Strange that the so-called possible source of firing is from the Peackeeping force of the African Union, but again the Somali Government have promised to investigate and provide a full report on the incident. 
For the time-being let us share this moment of grief and again prayer for Allahyarham Noramfaizul Mohd Nor.  Al-Fatihah.


Say What...Gloryfying Malayan Communist Party...!?

Much is said about the 'Bukit Kepong' incident back in the early 1950s when the police station was lost to the Communist attack.  It was a startling blow to the British and the Anti-Communist force at that time.

Lately in the news, PAS one of the 3 parties that form what is Pakatan Rakyat which is the infamous Opposition Bloc is saying otherwise.  Yes, they are saying that Mat Indera the so-called 'fighter' in the Communist force was merely fighting against the British.  Sounds like 'war of independence' or some sort.  Are we saying that that all this while the Malayan Communist Party, the party or guerilla group that was once terrorizing Malaya is the actual 'freedom fighters'.  Fighting for freedom and independence of Malaya...against the British....BUT wait.....hello they are fighting to gain independence for Malaya to establish a Communist State!  What is the world going right now.  Don't these so called smart politicians from the other political spectrum (ie. Pakatan Rakyat) know that thanks to the MCP, a lot of innocent lives and properties were lost and damaged. 

The MCP were responsible for a lot of atrocities and not to mention causing grievous harm and instability to Malaya at that time.  Not to mention, isn't that the MCP got their moral support from one of the Communist Giants (beside USSR) at that time which was China due to the 'Cold War' effects.

Now in the latest saga, PAS is saying that the late Mat Indera is the true freedom fighter and that he was fighting against the British in the whole Bukit Kepong incident.  Mat Indera decided to join MCP to be part of the guerrilla resistance against the British rule.  But wait hold on here, the MCP not just harm the British, but also innocent lives of other Malayans at that time.  Of course like any patriot, Mat Indera has the right to fight for independence, but he joined the wrong party or group.  Maybe he must have hate the Brits so much that he decided to go for 'arm struggle'. 

One thing for sure a lot of our former soldiers and police have done so much to fight the Communist threats and terrorism in order to regain stabilization of Malaya and thus leading to independence in 31 August 1957. 

One thing that we must not forget, the Baling Talk which was the only room that was given to MCP to give up their armed struggle and Communism, but they rejected it because of wanting to uplift the Communist thoughts and beliefs.

Thank God that our late PM Tunku Abdul Rahman (Father of Independence) managed to seek independencce the peaceful way and later after 1957 the so-called Communist struggle gradually phased out.

In my opinion, let us not get distracted by resurructing the Communist so-called fighters cause thanks to them there are families who have lost their loves ones and yes it does leaves bitterness, anger, and resentment until today.  Rememer the Communist uprising or armed guerilla struggle was just part of the Cold War phenomenon when Communism was on the rise.  We were just lucky that Malaya was not like Vietname, Laos, or Cambodia.  We managed to pull through and gain independence the peaceful way and 'naturally' led to the decline of the communist terrorism in Malaya.

Cheerios!
