Memang Sah Perjanjian Malaysia ‘Batal’

Saudara Pengarang,

ATAS permintaan Ketua-Ketua Kerajaan Malaysia, Indonesia dan Filipina melalui Joint Statement di Manila pada 5 Ogos 1963, Setiausaha PBB (U Thant) telah menghantar wakil untuk meninjau sambutan rakyat North Borneo terhadap Gagasan Malaysia pada 12 Ogos 1963. 

Ringkasan laporan PBB seperti berikut:

1. UNKO - tidak bersetuju;

2. PASOK - tidak bersetuju;

3. USNO - bersetuju;

4. Parti Demokratik - tidak bersetuju;

5. Parti Liberal - tidak bersetuju;

6. Parti United - tidak bersetuju.

Jelas, kesemua parti politik yang ada ketika itu tidak bersetuju menyertai Gagasan Malaysia, kecuali USNO. Kenapa Perjanjian Malaysia 1963 masih diteruskan, sedangkan pindaan yang dibuat ke atas Perjanjian itu pada 28 Ogos 1963 hanya berkaitan Singapura?

Salam Hormat,

JOSEPH WILFRED

Kajian Populariti Najib

Oleh : KRISTY INUS

BEBERAPA pemimpin Sabah hari ini mempersoalkan ketepatan sebuah kaji selidik yang menunjukkan tahap populariti atau puas hati rakyat terhadap kepimpinan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak telah merosot.

Mereka berkata populariti di kalangan rakyat lebih meningkat daripada sebelum ini dan beliau dilihat sebagai pemimpin berjiwa rakyat.

Sit and do nothing

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.

Wikileaks: Anwar may be convicted ‘at all cost’

Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim may be convicted for sodomy – his second in 10 years – based on the assessment that he is a threat to Umno’s continued rule at least until the next general election.

The leaked US diplomatic cable released by Wikileaks stated that Prime Minister Najib Razak and the Umno elites may decide that the political cost of prosecuting Anwar are “acceptable” and pursue the matter aggressively inside and outside court.

Malaysia is 48 years old, not 54

‘Malaysia has only existed since 1963. To claim our nation is 54 is to ignore the role Sabah and Sarawak have played in its formation.’

Rosmah at Altantuya murder 'implausible'

(Malaysiakini) - The presence of Rosmah Mansor, wife of premier Najib Razak, at the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder appeared “implausible”, according to a United States diplomat in a secret cable sent to Washington three years ago.

The diplomatic cable was dispatched by the United States embassy in Kuala Lumpur two weeks after controversial blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin pledged in a statutory declaration that Rosmah was at the scene of the October 2006 murder of the Mongolian woman.

Worse than murtad is political apostasy

THE MICAH MANDATE

Political apostasy is the reason for the country’s ‘moral crisis’ in governance as reports of electoral roll anomalies and threats of violence take centre stage.

Meanwhile many letter-writers and others have said allegations of religious apostasy are a ploy to detract from the more serious problem of potential electoral fraud.

Political backsliding from the original Merdeka plan began in 1969 when Tunku Abdul Rahman was deposed in a coup, as described in Kua Kia Soong’s enlightening book, ‘May 13’.

Psalm 129

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
