Permintaan Umno supaya “Yang di-Pertuan Agong campurtangan bagi menangani penghakisan hak-hak keistimewaan bumiputera” (Utusan Malaysia , 8 Julai 2008) ibarat mengesahkan satu perkara sahaja iaitu Umno yang telah mengangkat kedua-dua belah tangan.

Dia sendiri telah secara muktamad mengesahkan kegagalan parti itu sebagai pembela orang Melayu. Sudah selama 50 tahun dia membela(?).

Nasib orang Melayu menjunam dalam hampir semua pentas; agama, bangsa, tanah dan air.

Bertolak dari kegagalan agama yang boleh disukat melalui pemisahan pemerintahan dengan Islam, menukar Islam sejati dengan Islam Hadhari, gejala ratusan ribu umat Islam yang murtad, sejuta penagih dadah, bangsa Melayu yang kekacauan identiti dan jati diri dari segi bahasa, adat, budaya dan budi; tanah rezab Melayu yang semakin susut serta terjual dan tergadainya tanah, air dan pasir dalam bentuk pukal akibat rundingan dan perjanjian yang tidak cermat dengan negara jiran.

Jika orang Umno asyik minta Yang Di-Pertuan Agong campur tangan untuk memperbetulkan setiap kali kesalahan yang dibuat mereka, sedarkah Umno bahawa Yang di-Pertuan Agong inipun adalah Raja bagi seluruh warganegara.

Apa kata jika mereka pun mengangkat memorandum balas membantah dasar-dasar diskriminasi Umno terhadap segala ketidakadilan Umno.

Ini semua bertolak dari perletakan paksi perjuangan yang salah. Jika Umno dari awal tidak meletakkan paksi bangsa dalam perjuangannya, bahkan meletakkan Islam sebagai asas, saya percaya keadaan tidak jadi setenat ini.

Apabila Umno membesar-besarkan bangsa, mengibar keris telanjang, mengacah dan mengucup keris berterusan, orang bukan Melayupun boleh gerun.

Apabila naluri manusia terasa terancam, mereka pada logiknya juga akan menggunakan sentimen bangsa sebagai perisai pertahanan yang sama. Mereka akan mengumpul dan menggunakan persamaan dan perkongsian sentimen sebagai benteng pertahanan.

Ini segala-galanya berpunca dari Umno. Sebab itu, polemik mengenai perpaduan nasional tidak pernah selesai.

Jika Islam yakin bahawa kaedah pengagungan bangsa adalah formula yang tepat, sudah lama Nabi SAW menggunakan keunggulan suku bangsa Quraisy sebagai tunjang perpaduan kaum. Semua orang diwajibkan menerima Quraisy segagai bangsa “superior”.

Soalnya, kenapa Nabi Junjungan kita tidak memilih berbuat begitu?

Bahkan sebaliknya, Baginda menempelak asobiyah bangsa dengan sepotong sabda bermaksud, “tiada kelebihan bangsa Arab atas bangsa Ajam kecuali dengan taqwa.”

Kini sesudah 50 tahun, tanpa diatur dan ditunjuk-tunjuk oleh pemimpin Umno sekalipun, orang Melayu sudah lama tahu punca silapnya orang Melayu.

Mereka sangat tahu bahawa kegagalan ini disebabkan pengkhianatan pemimpin Umno dahulu dan sekarang yang tergamak memperkuda dan memperhambakan Melayu sesama Melayu.

Berselindung di sebalik istilah bumiputera, mereka (Umno) ratah daging dan darah sesama Melayu. Jika adapun usaha, mereka cuma berminat mengada-adakan projek yang boleh memperkayakan segelintir pemimpin Umno dan kroni.

Lihat sahaja isu di sekitar penjualan pasir satu waktu dulu, penguasaan saham di ECM Libra, Scomi, pembelian bas-bas RapidKL, isu kapal selam, siapa berada dibelakang Bernas dan terkini pula berbangkit soal tuduhan penglibatan pemimpin Umno dalam kontrak pembinaan Terminal Penerbangan Tambang Murah di Sepang atau disebut LCCT.

Saya cuma sedut beberapa contoh untuk sekadar menggambarkan perihal curiganya rakyat terhadap kerja Umno yang kononnya membela orang Melayu.

Bila terdesak rapat ke dinding, mulalah panggil Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan Raja-Raja Melayu. Satu masa nanti, jangan terkejut jika Kebawah Duli Raja-Raja Melayu kitapun boleh tiba ke tahap meragui keupayaan Pemimpin Negara yang ada sekarang. Di peringkat itu, saya tidak tahulah apa yang akan terjadi.

Sekarang, benih yang salah, yang ditanam 50 tahun lalu sudah berbuah. Ia beracun dan cukup pahit bila dimakan.

Ia telah menimbulkan loya dan sedang menyebabkan muntah-muntah di kalangan Melayu dan bukan Melayu. Hakikat jatuhnya hampir separuh kerajaan-kerajaan negeri dari tangan Umno/BN dalam pilihan raya 8 Mac lalu adalah testimoni.

Ini berbeza dengan PAS. Kita tidak bermuka-muka. Kita mahukan Islam sejak dari tahun 1951 hingga kini dan Insya Allah, hingga sampai ke hari kiamat.

Jika Umno bermula dari Islam sejak awal penubuhannya, tentu keadaan tidak menjadi begini.

Dengan menolak Islam dan mengambil faham kebangsaan, Umno secara terbuka sanggup mendepani mana-mana gerakan siasah yang mahukan Islam.

Bermacam-macam tindakan zalim telah dibuat walaupun di luar lingkungan keizinan demokrasi.

Dalam banyak hal, dia (umno) memperalatkan kuasa majoriti yang diperuntukkan dalam amalan demokrasi untuk menyekat dan menyusahkan pergerakan dan kemajuan agamanya sendiri.

Saya masih ingat lagi bagaimana ramai ulama, ustaz dan aktivis Islam ditangkap dan disiksa.

Ada Adun PAS yang mati dikapak di tengah-tengah pekan Kota Bharu pada tahun 1960an.

Ada Adun dari Pasir Mas yang disumbat ke dalam penjara hingga menjadi hilang ingatan.

Ada jambatan dibakar di Rantau Panjang untuk menyekat pengundi-pengundi PAS dari keluar mengundi.

Ada penjawat awam yang menyokong gerakan Islam yang ditukar, ditahan kenaikan gaji dan disekat kenaikan pangkat.

Ada yang dicerai dan hidup menjanda kerana rumahtangga mereka porak peranda akibat suami yang disumbat ke penjara melalui ISA. Semuanya ini terlalu banyak berlaku di Kelantan.

Di Kedah pula, 14 orang ustaz dan orang awam dikepung dan ditembak hidup-hidup pada tahun 1986. Memali tiba-tiba menjadi kolam darah yang mengambus jasad syuhada, pejuang dan para wali.

Tanpa segan silu, Umno jugalah yang menafikan banyak peruntukan pusat dari mengalir ke Kelantan dan Terengganu. Siapa berani mengatakan bahawa sekatan penerimaan royalti minyak kepada Kerajaan Negeri Terengganu diantara tahun 1999 2004, misalnya, tidak berunsur politik?

Kini, Umno memutuskan Kerajaan Terengganu diberikan semula royalti kerana diperintah oleh Umno/BN.

Tidak zalimkah lagi? Lihatlah betapa siksanya pejuang-pejuang, penyokong-penyokong dan pencinta Islam untuk hidup di bawah dasar-dasar kemelayuan Umno yang melampau.

Pendek kata, terlalu panjang senarai kezaliman yang dilakukan oleh Umno kerana mengambil kebangsaan dan meninggalkan Islam.

Kini setelah 50 tahun, segala kudis, nanah, panau dan kurap penyakit asobiyah telah keluar ke permukaan.

Ada kes pembunuh Altantuya yang disebut-sebut melibatkan pemimpin tertinggi Umno. Setelah DSAI tidak terbukti melakukan liwat walaupun dituduh melakukan liwat 10 tahun yang lalu, kini dituduhnya beliau sekali lagi melakukan liwat. Lagi!

Belum reda dengan kemarahan rakyat mengenai kenaikan harga petrol, rakyat dihidangkan pula dengan berita terlepasnya Pulau Batu Putih daripada tangan Malaysia .

Entah. Saya tidak nampak cahaya lagi di hujung terowong masa depan untuk Malaysia baik dunia atau akhirat selagi berada di bawah Umno/BN. Majoriti rakyat pun saya kira sudah berkesimpulan begitu.

Ini boleh dikesan melalui pelbagai tulisan-tulisan kekecewaan baik di akhbar perdana, warta-warta mingguan, media-media nyamuk dan suara-suara berita dari akhbar-akhbar alternatif. Jika orang muda yang selalu buka laman web dan blog, fenomena ini semakin jelas.

Apa yang ada di hadapan rakyat sekarang cuma satu sahaja iaitu memilih Pakatan Rakyat sebagai kerajaan alternatif.

Our Resurfaced North-South Expressway is SLIPPERY!Very Dangerous !!

Filed Under (General) by azri on 15-07-2008

Tagged Under : ,

Dear TV3 and The Star,

I am a frequent user of our North-South Expressway and I have this IMPORTANT experience to highlight and share:-

I was driving back to Penang yesterday afternoon (24 June 08) when I saw the unfortunate accident in the opposite direction involving the passenger bus that skidded and overturned at Tanjung Malim. I didn’t know that the skidded bus was from hometown Penang untill I watched TV3 news later in the evening and was shocked to learn that the accident took two lives.

Now, this is what I need to share:-

I am a building contractor with over twenty years of experience and I have been driving my 5 series BMW (latest generation and a dammed solid road holding car) each time
I travelled to KL. Lately, the new extended 3 lanes highway had been opened up for use and since then, I have also been using it quite oftenly.

HOWEVER, when I used it each time it is WET, I can really ‘feel’ that the new road surface is extremely SLIPPERY! To share with some of you, my car comes with a built-in traction control mechanism (skidding prevention mechanism) and you can feel it each time it is activated. Previously, I don’t come across this kind of slippery feel except when I drive over a paddle of water at certain speed.

From my observation as a building contractor, the ‘wearing course’ of the new road surface could be TOO FINE OR TOO SMOOTH and TOTALLY UNSUITABLE for highway use!
The wearing course (top premix layer) mix design for highways should be of minimum 20mm coarse aggregate mix that will give us the required bond between the surface and our tyres. Fine wearing course (14mm coarse aggregate size and below) is only suitable for normal road. (A proper test need to be carried out to determine the mix design of the wearing course).

Since the opening of the three lanes highway, I had seen cars skidding in front me or in the opposite direction and approximately 2 weeks ago, one of my friends who is also a frequent user of our NSE, came to share with me about his slippery feeling as well as the many skidded cars he had seen lately.

I am highlighting this to TV3 and The Star with the hope that a thourough investigation could be carried out immediately to find out how or what causes the bus to skid. A proper and independent test need to be carried out urgently to determine the design mix of the wearing course. THIS CAN SAVE LIVES.

FOR THOSE BCC RECIPIENTS, PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
IF YOU ARE USING THE NEW LANES AND IF IT IS WET, MAKE SURE YOU DRIVE SLOWLY!!!!

Regards,

Jensen Yeoh

WHY EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANISATIONS ?

WHY EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANISATIONS ? - Azim Premji, CEO- Wipro

Every company faces the problem of people leaving the company for better pay or profile.

Early this year, Mark, a senior software designer, got an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its India operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer.

He had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office,and the very best technology,even a canteen that served superb food.

Twice Mark was sent abroad for training. ‘My learning curve is the sharpest it’s ever been,’ he said soon after he joined.

Last week, less than eight months after he joined, Mark walked out of the job.

Why did this talented employee leave?

Arun quit for the same reason that drives many good people away.

The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called ‘First Break All The Rules’. It came up with this surprising finding:

If you’re losing good people, look to their immediate boss .Immediate boss is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he’s the reason why people leave. When people leave they take knowledge, experience and contacts with them, straight to the competition.

‘People leave managers not companies,’ write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.

Mostly manager drives people away?

HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave,but a thought has been planted. The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.

When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: ‘If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don’t have your heart and soul in the job.’

Different managers can stress out employees in different ways - by being too controlling, too suspicious, too pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not fixed assets, they are free agents. When this goes on too long, an employee will quit - often over a trivial issue.

Talented men leave. Dead wood doesn’t.

Ronaldo backs Blatter’s ’slavery’ comments

Filed Under (General) by azri on 11-07-2008

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has backed FIFA president Sepp Blatter’s condemnation of ‘modern slavery’ in the modern game.

When asked about Ronaldo’s long-mooted prospective transfer to Real Madrid, Blatter yesterday suggested that there was a trend towards treating players like slaves in the transfer process.

His comments have been met with criticism in some areas, with Professional Footballers’ Association chairman Chris Powell calling for him to retract the comments while UEFA president Michel Platini reacted by highlighting the spiralling wage demands of players.

But Ronaldo, who is currently recovering from ankle surgery after taking part for Portugal in Euro 2008, has failed to commit himself to United and has given mixed messages about Real’s obvious interest.

He has now supported Blatter’s stand, but refused to shed any more light on the proposed transfer.

‘I agree with the comments of the president of FIFA. What he said is right,’ he told Portuguese channel TVI.

‘At the moment there is no agreement with Real Madrid. We have to wait for the next few days to see, but I do not know where I will begin next season.

‘This is all I have to say at the moment.’

Regarding his injury, the winger confirmed he would be out for as long as three months but remained upbeat about his rehabilitation.

‘I’m very well. I’m optimistic. My recovery is going well. Everything is fine.’

United, UEFA blast Blatter over Ronaldo

Filed Under (General) by azri on 11-07-2008

Manchester United have taken issue with Sepp Blatter after the FIFA president claimed Cristiano Ronaldo should be allowed to leave Old Trafford if he wants.

The FIFA president’s remarks in a Sky News interview, in which he criticised a trend towards ‘modern slavery’ in football, surprised the Champions League winners and the game at large.

United are adamant that Ronaldo will not be leaving even though the Portugal winger continues to send out mixed messages about his future.

Real Madrid have made no secret of their admiration for Ronaldo, who currently recovering from ankle surgery after playing in Euro 2008.

The last thing United probably need is Blatter entering the debate.

A club spokesperson said: ‘All our players - like at other clubs - enter into their contracts after an open and free negotiation.

‘Most of whom do after taking advice from a FIFA-registered agent.

‘Many do so on a number of occasions and enjoy long and successful stays at Old Trafford.’

UEFA have warned that players are becoming ever more powerful as a consequence of the Bosman ruling - and played down Blatter’s suggestions they are slaves to clubs.

Communications director William Gaillard, who also serves as special advisor to UEFA president Michel Platini, gave a different point of view and claimed salaries are ’spiralling out of control’.

‘It would be useful to remind people that slaves in all of the slavery systems never earned a wage,’ Gaillard told Sky Sports News.

The Bosman ruling came into effect in 1995, allowing players free transfers at the end of contracts, and those coming to the conclusion of their deals have become prey for other clubs.

‘It seems that both clubs and players are trying to negotiate an exit before the player is free,’ said Gaillard.

‘It is a consequence of the Bosman ruling - there is nothing we can do about that.

‘It is obvious that today players have a lot more power than they did 20 years ago, undoubtedly, and agents have a lot more power than they did 20 years ago.

‘It is true that salaries are spiralling out of control. Many clubs have pointed that out.’

When Blatter was asked if he felt sympathy for Ronaldo’s current position, he said: ‘Absolutely, absolutely.

‘Definitely as a footballer and the FIFA president, I’m very in sympathy with the player Ronaldo.’

He added: ‘I think in football there is too much modern slavery, transferring players or buying players here and there, and putting them somewhere. And we are trying now to intervene in such cases.’

Blatter puts oar into Ronaldo transfer saga

FIFA president Sepp Blatter believes Cristiano Ronaldo should be allowed to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid if he so desires, criticising a trend towards ‘modern slavery’ in football.

The Portugal winger is one of the hottest properties in the sport after a superb season at Old Trafford last term and speculation about a move to the Spanish side has dominated the summer’s transfer gossip.

There has been an ongoing war of whispers emanating from both clubs for several weeks and when asked about the protracted wrangle over the 23-year-old’s future, Blatter insisted players should be allowed to leave with impunity when they want to move clubs.

‘The important thing is, we should also protect the player,’ he told Sky News.

‘If the player wants to play somewhere else, then a solution should be found because if he stays in a club where he does not feel comfortable to play then it’s not good for the player and for the club.

‘I’m always in favour of protecting the player and if the player, he wants to leave, let him leave.’

Blatter believes the issue raises interesting questions about the way transfers and contracts are dealt with in the game.

‘I think in football there’s too much modern slavery in transferring players or buying players here and there, and putting them somewhere,’ he continued.

‘We are trying now to intervene in such cases. The reaction to the Bosman law is to make long-lasting contacts in order to keep the players and then if he wants to leave, then there is only one solution, he has to pay his contract.’

Blatter went on to dismiss the Premier League’s much-criticised ‘39th step’ proposals, insisting plans to play competitive matches overseas - either in the league or domestic cups - was doomed to fail.

He said: ‘The 39th game as presented will never happen. To my knowledge what they (the Premier League) want to do is perhaps to play some of the League Cup matches somewhere outside of England. That’s the last information I got.

‘They should just forget about that.’

Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz has indicated he could soon leave the club to take charge of the Portugal national side.
Queiroz is the leading contender to succeed Luiz Felipe Scolari, who stepped down after Euro 2008 to move to Chelsea. The former Real Madrid manager was in Lisbon yesterday for discussions with the Portuguese Football Federation. He said: ‘I can say little more than you know at this time. ‘Currently the matter is out of my hands. From my part, there is not much to say, it needs to be resolved between the federation and Manchester United. ‘We must wait calmly. I have spoken with the two parties and now I wait for movement.’ Queiroz, who is on a one-year rolling contract, is in his second spell as Sir Alex Ferguson’s number two and has established a fine reputation. He rejoined the club in 2004 after a season at Real and United are reluctant to part with him again. They are reported to have offered improved terms but Queiroz is interested in a potential four-year deal to lead his country.
