Honouring an Agreement - A government's scam

What do you say about those who do not honour their words?
Is your government acting honourably by example to all of you as citizens?

This case apparently demonstrated clearly how the concerned parities are slapping their own faces hard, in regreting the agreement they inked some years ago.

As an individuals who represented the government in the deal, it is shameful!
As a government, it is very much a despicable act no diffenrent than a con artist!

How would you expect the people believe in their government, that ehy will not be CONNED the same way?

You should be ashame as Malaysians. Shame on all of them in declining the rights to whose who deserved, especially upon an AGREEMENT.


Followng is an article taken from The Malaysian Insider dated 4th Oct, 2009:

The tale of two former IGPs
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 – One is the longest-serving top police officer Malaysia has ever known, someone who left the force with his reputation and image intact. The other is a former top cop who left the force in disgrace after an assault on former deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in 1998.

One is a former top cop who reached the peak of the corporate world here, and who looks the part in society pages and roundtable discussions on law and order. The other is a former top cop who shuns publicity like the plague and is shunned by the movers and shakers in government.

The contrast between Tun Hanif Omar and Tan Sri Rahim Noor is not only skin-deep. Both were signatories to two historic agreements between the Government of Malaysia and the Communist Party of Malaya in 1989, watershed agreements that ended the armed conflict between the communists and the government.

But today they occupy opposing sides of the spectrum on public opinion over Chin Peng and the Communist Party of Malaya.

Haniff is part of the strong anti-CPM lobby, the body of Malaysians who do not want Chin Peng to be allowed to step on Malaysian soil.

They argue that the communists inflicted death and suffering on many Malaysians, especially security personnel, and have right to return home.

Rahim is among a group of Malaysians who are guided by the principle that once an agreement has been inked, a line has to be drawn in the sand and the government has a duty and a legal obligation to adhere to the terms of the agreement.

No ifs and buts. No re-opening old wounds.

Hanif made clear his views recently after the High Court ruled that comments made by a former deputy minister against Chin Peng and the CPM were not defamatory.

He pointed out that the former secretary-general of the outlawed Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) had no legal standing.

“It is an illegal operation as it was not registered under the law,” said Hanif.

He said that Chin Peng was in charge of a notorious party which killed thousands of people in the most cruel way, and that a non-registered party had no right making any demands.

This response from Hanif is puzzling, to say the least. If he believed that Chin Peng and others in the CPM were evil and members of an illegal organization, why did he agree to sign the “Agreement Between The Government Of Malaysia and the Communist Party of Malaya.

The agreement reads: The Government of Malaysia and the Communist Party of Malaya, consistent with the common objective for peace, hereby agree to the following:-

Article 1 – Upon the signing of this Agreement, the Government of Malaysia and the CPM shall cease all armed activities forthwith.

Article 2 – The CPM shall disband all its armed units, destroy its arms, ammunition, explosives and booby-traps in Malaysia and Thailand.

Article 3 – Members of the CPM and members of its uits who are of Malaysian origin and who wish to settle down in Malaysia shall be allowed to do so in accordance with the laws of Malaysia.

Article 4 – Malaysian authorities shall assist members of the CPM and members of its disbanded armed units to help them to start their peaceful life afresh.

When Hanif signed the agreement witnessed by among others General Chavalit Yongchaiyudh of the Government of Thailand, did he believe that the Malaysian Government was not interested in honoring its obligations?

Rahim has so far not spoken publicly. He was lined up as a witness for Chin Peng but did not get the opportunity to testify for the 85-year-old because the High Court struck out the former CPM leader’s suit.

Still, Rahim’s friends said that he feels strongly about the sanctity of an agreement. In addition, he feels that he is duty-bound to tell the truth given that he is a signatory to one of the two agreements, and was one of the key players in getting the CPM to come to the negotiating table.

He knows that no amount of reparation or words of comfort can bring back the police and military personnel who lost their lives in the fight against the CPM.

As a former director of the Special Branch, he knows of the countless men and women who went in harm’s way to break the will of the communist movement.

Some of his men and women never returned home to their families.

There is no love lost between Rahim Noor and the CPM. But he was a signatory to the “Administrative Arrangement Between The Government of Malaysia and The Communist Party Of Malaya Pursuant To The Agreement To Terminate Hostilities’’ and believes in the sanctity of the agreement.

One is a former top police officer who seems to have forgotten that he was a signatory to a groundbreaking agreement, a rare occasion where communists laid down their arms.

The other is a former top police officer who still believes that what happened on Dec 2, 1989 in Haadyai has to be respected.

In love with a fair-skin?

Dark skin or fair skin, people must be accorded the same treatment.

A social responsible organisation must not provoke but promote social harmonies, and find ways to mitigate the stigmas already impacting the unfortunates.

Wearing pants is indecent

This is absurd! Women arrested for wearing pants in violation of religion decency rules, and supposedly be WHIPPED.

United Nation and world organizations must work harder in protecting the rights and plights of Muslim women, whom often been abused to the fancies of male-dominant societies and in the name of their religion.

BN government should be sacked

The entire BN government should have been sacked long ago to avoid continued damages done to the country and its people. As many of these politicians are decendents of some of those ex-leaders who laid a foundation of corrupt ideology.

That's the general view of all consciencious people in this country as the country continues to be in a dire situation made worst with the recent unscrupulous petrol price increase though a "cheating" strategy that conned the nation to pay the same (or more) but receive lower quality product. And they still trying to justify and convince the people thinking that people of easily misled.

A different set of rules, indeed

UMNO never failed to disappoint people. Being corrupt from top to bottom, it again doing its best to justify why its corrupt candidate in a by-election is a hero, instead, than anything else. Most certain, that corruption and greed are not only exercised within the party but flexed through all government agencies, such as EC, MACC, PDRM, AG, and judges; a clear example from finger tips would be the Illegitimate Perak coup d'etat orchestrated by the chief - a blatant disregard of all civilised rules and constitutions.

Read the article by Tengku Razaleigh:

a different set of rules
I don’t know En. Rohaizat. He may be a fine upstanding citizen. However, his public record of dishonesty would long ago have disqualified him from being a candidate for public office in any normal political party.

Is Umno so short of people that we have to find a lawyer disbarred for financial dishonesty to stand? Has financial misconduct become so common among us that we no longer see it as a factor in a candidate’s suitability? The party leaders who select and screen candidates must have known of this impediment but considered financial misconduct a trivial matter.

Honesty is a minimal condition for public office. Whatever the other virtues of the candidate, he should not be considered if he fails this test. The candidates we field for election must have a clean record because we are asking the public to place their confidence in him as their leader, and democratic government breaks down without public confidence. We are also saying this candidate represents us. I’m sad to have to say such obvious things.

By fielding a disbarred lawyer, today’s Umno is projecting the image that it lives by a different moral code from the rest of Malaysia. One set of rules for Umno, and another for everyone else. Either that, or this is the best we can do.

Ketua Pembangkang terjadi Pengkhianat

"Di negara-negara yang lebih faham tentang selok-belok demokrasi, yang tahu tata susila politik moden, yang tahu erti peranan yang berbeza di antara kerajaan dan pembangkang, Ketua Pembangkang amat dihormati. Malah Perdana Menteri di negara-negara yang matang demokrasi sentiasa menjemput Ketua Pembangkang untuk membincangkan hal-hal negara demi kepentingan umum. Mereka ketepikan politik kepartian demi rakyat dan negara. Ketua Pembangkang tidak dianggap sebagai musuh yang mesti dimaki dan cerca setiap masa. Cuma di Malaysia dan Myanmar, pemerintah ghairah nak tangkap pemimpin pembangkang."

H1N1 - Situation Deteriorated on Incompetent Leadership

It has never been such a prominent failure demonstrated by leadership and management in the Health Ministry of Malaysia. Actions, directions, and enforcement came very late while public education and prevention were not in priority. Situation worsen... after more than 2400 confirmed infection and 40+ death cases... the threat continues to haunt the general public. And the ministry is yet to formally declared all-out-effort to demonstrate their commitment to combat the epidemic.

Firstly, the Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai was not from a medical backround and can be ignorant, but having a team of well paid medical experts on the payroll who can form an advisory board, it is blatantly incompetent and irresponsible for a leader to betray the trust of citizen. May be, a politician who has no technical background ought not helm such a critical position. As the worst Health Minister in Malaysian history, he should be accountable to resign in shame or be fired.

And the Director General of the Health Ministry, Ismail Merican, equally demonstrated his incompetency. Public can only see him show face in press conference with the minister to announce the number of cases. Couldn't this be done by a press secretary? He, too, should be responsible for the failure to resign or be fired immediately.
