sometimes i wonder why must they intimidate normal people like this singer?!?... this only happen in 'small' places?!?...
are they afraid of doing the same to those who are 'higher ranking' than them?!?..
a very simple example would be... i would suggest the religious dept of kuala lumpur to pay a visit to the club opposite the old weld swimming pool/eden every nite and start confronting and reporting how many muslims behave 'indecently'.. you may ask why that club since it's happening almost everywhere?!?.. it's because EVERYTIME i go there, i have seen with my own eyes how those 'datuks' who is a father of God knows how many and their respective koncos hit on other women PUBLICLY... wanna nail, nail 'them' 1st... wanna show example, they should start showing 1st..
as reported... "Siti Noor Idayu said an officer even told her that the money she earned working in the outlet was duit haram (illicit money) and that her parents, children and future generations would all be tainted for using such money."...
quite funny lah the officer... is he also trying to provide some hints to the TOP govt officers?!?... :) ... anyway, if cari makan via singing in a pub is haram then wat about those who abuse the advantages provided to the poor (to be read as nep)?!?... then wat about those who receive millions of rinngit via submarines deal/s?!?... then wat about those who involve in the sukhoi deal/s?!?... then wat about those who can provide millions of rinngit of compensation to their ex-wife as divorce settlement whereby the husband is just a normal minister?!?... then wat about those who steal/rob fm their poor and make them richer (to be read as nep)?!?... etc.. etc... etc...
tajol, wanna say something which is basically under yr jurisdiction now?!?...
p/s ; mykad is najis saying is downright vulgar... bekulah dia orang is a downright 'threat'...
Singer held over dressing
IPOH: The Perak Religious Department (JAIP) has ordered a singer to appear before the Syariah Court for “exposing her body” during a performance and “encouraging immoral activities”.
However, an indignant Siti Noor Idayu Abd Moin, 22, said she was wearing a sleeveless top and long pants when JAIP officers raided an entertainment outlet in Sunway City where she was performing on Tuesday.
“Our band had just finished and it was a little past midnight when they came in and rounded up all the Muslims.
“They asked to see our MyKad but one officer refused to touch the cards, referring to them as najis (unclean),” she said.
Siti Noor Idayu said the JAIP officers later detained seven people, including four employees of the outlet, and brought them to the department office.
“They put us in a tiny room and turned up the air-conditioner. I heard one officer tell the other: Bekulah dia orang (Let them freeze),” she said.
Siti Noor Idayu also said the male officers kept taking photographs of her, adding that she was made to stay overnight in that room until 10am.
She said the officer who finally came to record her statement at 8am, accused her of consuming alcohol and drugs, being involved in immoral activities, and that her MyKad was a fake.
“I took the breathalyser test twice and when the reading remained at zero, the officers looked frustrated.
“I heard one tell the other: Tapi dia tak minum lah (But she did not drink),” she said.
Siti Noor Idayu said an officer even told her that the money she earned working in the outlet was duit haram (illicit money) and that her parents, children and future generations would all be tainted for using such money.
“They finally wrote me a notice accusing me of dressing sexily and encouraging immorality just because I sang there,” she said.
The notice ordered her to appear before the Syariah Court here on Aug 6.
When contacted, JAIP director Datuk Jamry Sury said he was confident that his officers had not acted outside of their jurisdiction in issuing the notice.
“According to Islamic laws, a Muslim woman is not allowed to serve or entertain a man who is not her husband in a place where immoral activities usually take place,” he said.

i know many frens of mine, some of them fm ryze/mmn too have went across to big sea to live a new life.. as much a fellow malaysian plus as their fren, i wanna encourage them to stay back, but after listening to their story as to the reasons given... i understand why... reason being fm marriage to new job to education to 'grass-is-greener-the-other-side' cases to migration to some of them just got fed-up with the current 'bollockstic' administration to etc...
some times i wonder do they, those sitting up there, treat this kinda matter seriously...
p/s ; 106,000 is the numbers given and/or the official numbers.. wat about the unofficial ones?!?...
106,000 gave up citizenship
A TOTAL of 106,003 Malaysians have surrendered their citizenship to opt for foreign ones.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Radzi Sheikh Ahmad said the figure was part of the 111,313 Malaysians who had foreign citizenships.
He said another 5,310 had their citizenships revoked under the Constitution.
“Since 1996, some 26,804 Malaysians who are non-Malays had given up their citizenship,” he said in a written reply to Fong Po Kuan (DAP - Batu Gajah).
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is also the Prime Minister, in his written reply to Datuk Seri Syed DiRaja Syed Razlan Ibni Syed Putra Jamalullail (BN - Arau), said the banking sector was the main contributor of funds to the agriculture and agro-based industry.
He said that until Dec 31 last year, the collective loan for the agriculture sector stood at RM28.2bil, which was 12% of the total loans in the commercial sector.
Bank Pertanian had also given out loans totalling RM3.4bil while the Fund for Food had issued RM1.3bil in loans at 3.75% to 10,300 borrowers.
On another matter, Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Johari Baharum said the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) had proposed to the Internal Security Ministry to review certain provisions under the Public Services Department's (PSD) regulations to allow former drug addicts to apply for jobs.
He said currently, there were provisions under the PSD regulations that forbade former drug addicts from applying for jobs.

ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
By M.VEERA PANDIYAN
Live coverage of Parliament debates may make errant MPs behave better.
IF IT’S always going to be a circus, watching it live would be more entertaining. The frolics of the clowns alone might provide more amusement than the shows on television these days.
Hats off to Kalabakan MP Datuk Abdul Ghapur Salleh for one of the better suggestions to come from a backbencher in the Dewan Rakyat recently.
“Let’s telecast the debates live on TV so that the MPs will behave,” he proposed last week, noting that parts of parliamentary debates – including the trading of harsh words and insults – were already being screened on some news segments.
But a spoilsport in the form of Deputy Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi threw cold water on the idea, giving the most cockamamie of excuses. He said no on the grounds that RTM would disallow lucah (obscene) words to be aired.
“Some quarters, including the opposition, are recording debates as well as heated arguments onto CDs and distributing them. My advice is we should behave ourselves in the House,” he said.
Isn’t that precisely the point? If MPs who use vulgar language and behave like thugs realise that their words and antics would be seen by all and sundry, might they not want to mend their ways?
Live coverage could also help identify the silent Yang Berhormats (The Honourable) who just warm their seats in Parliament, not to mention those who use the august hall as a convenient place for their afternoon naps.
Of course, viewer ratings for live TV coverage of parliamentary proceedings would be a long way off from shows like Akademi Fantasia, as much of it would feature soporific speeches.
But boring or not, voters shouldn’t be deprived of watching how their elected representatives perform where it really matters. After all they pay these YBs’ tax-free salaries, fat allowances and life-long pensions.
With cameras focused on them, would MPs still go for the burlesque? You know, like cracking crude, sexist “bocor” (leakage) jokes, getting all hot and bothered by scantily clad Super GT models, or stewing over the “sexy” uniforms of Malaysian Airlines stewardesses.
Just imagine watching the dramas unfold in Parliament, with close-ups of the faces of the rankled MPs raising such matters of utmost importance to the nation.
If opinions are based merely on newspaper reports, Malaysians can’t be faulted for thinking that many of our MPs are preoccupied with jaga tepi kain (monitoring hemlines) instead of jaga kepentingan rakyat (looking after the peoples’ interests).
Whether they accept it or not, the general perception is our MPs dwell too much on trivial matters instead of focusing on the real issues affecting the country.
Surely, there are enough compelling subjects for them to get agitated over. Here’s a small sampling: corruption, weaknesses in the education system, rising levels of crime, drug abuse, disregard for rule of law and gross misuse and wastage of public funds.
Wouldn’t it be a welcome change to see backbenchers grandstanding before the cameras, getting riled up over corruption in high places, or demanding clarification over claims of police-crime links?
If and when that happens, who knows, voters might be tempted to do something special for them, perhaps even wear T-shirts proclaiming: “I am YB So & So’s constituent ... And proud of it!”
Most of us, however, would be content to just see our MPs argue their cases against opponents intelligently and rationally, not display spoilt-brat temper tantrums or frenzied screaming of un-parliamentary terms like the recent outbursts of Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh!” (Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!)
But then again, with politics being such a bizarre realm, Malaysians too might eventually warm up to such behaviour, as in the case of Taiwan where brawling and unruly behaviour have become the norm in Parliament.
Apparently, voters on the island expect their representatives to fight hard on issues – both verbally and physically. To get maximum media coverage and support back home, legislators plan their showdown strategy to the extent of choreographing the pushes, shoves and fisticuffs.
In the end, it’s all about our level of acceptance. As long as we choose to allow errant MPs to remain unaccountable for their words and misdeeds, we shouldn't expect things to get any better.
Within the walls of the Dewan Rakyat, however, the onus is on Speaker Tan Sri Ramli Ngah Talib and his deputies, Datuk Lim Si Cheng and Datuk Dr Yusof Yacob, to draw the line on unacceptable conduct.
They ought to wield their gavels more resolutely against misbehaving members, irrespective of party allegiances. They must hammer home the importance of maintaining the decorum and dignity of the House.
M. Veera Pandiyan Deputy Editor, New Media, a taxpayer who has voted in the past six general elections, has always been observing what MPs say and do in and out of Parliament.

'cyber war' started in malaysia?!?...
out of the whole article below... the only line that really caught my attention is this...
as reported... "“This is among our key strategies in preparation for the elections. The other is getting our members to register as voters,”"...
yup, one can imagine how soon can the next general election be... also, through this statement, am pretty sure there are loads of umno members who are NOT registered voters!... talk about committment eh?!?...
as reported... "On the other hand, she said, there was a tendency among opposition party members not to believe any negative report about their leaders."...
then, why bother starting a 'war' in the 1st place?!?... sigh!...
anyway, why only start this kinda 'war' now, just because of general lection is coming?!?.. meaning they could not be bother wat people say during the 'normal time'?!?...
p/s ; with evidence and facts but they call them blatant lies?!?... siapa yang bodoh, bodoh dan bodoh sekarang?!?... hehe! :) ...
Umno recruiting team of writers to fight ‘cyber war’
KOTA KINABALU: Umno is set to do battle in cyberspace ahead of the anticipated general election by assembling a team of writers from every state to counter allegations about the party and its leadership on certain websites.
Umno supreme council member Datuk Azalina Othman Said said she had been recently tasked by party president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to take charge of this “cyber war.”
“This is among our key strategies in preparation for the elections. The other is getting our members to register as voters,” she said yesterday after opening the Kota Kinabalu Umno Youth, Wanita and Puteri meetings.
Azalina, the Youth and Sports Minister, said all state Umno liaison committees would be asked to identify writers willing to assist the party in this cause.
However, she declined to explain how these writers would carry out their duties nor did she name the websites that had purportedly spread the allegations.
Earlier, in her speech when opening the Youth, Wanita and Puteri meetings, Azalina said certain websites appeared to be stepping up their attacks against the country’s leaders.
“We need to counter these blatant lies. If we remain quiet, our worry is that some of our members and civil servants will be influenced by all these nonsense,” she added.
Azalina said she was aware that many party members liked visiting certain websites and could end up believing what was posted there.
On the other hand, she said, there was a tendency among opposition party members not to believe any negative report about their leaders.
“We want Umno members to support and defend their leaders. If they are sitting in a coffeeshop and hear others talking badly about the party leaders they should counter those lies immediately,” Azalina added.
In a related development, she said the opposition had resorted to moving their members and supporters to seats they were confident of winning in the coming polls.

barisan nasional vs barisan alternatif.. another round?!?...
had a chat with couple of frens the other day...
will it be better if barisan nasional vs barisan alternatif?!?...
or...
barisan nasional vs opposition in different parties?!?...
honestly, if you ask me, it'll have better effects if the opposition to come as a whole under the barisan alternatif umbrella..
ok, dap failed badly when they teamed up with keadilan and pas then...
as most of us the sane ones know, the sane votes fm the chinese will go to dap (yeah, only the insane ones will go to mca and their respective master) and the chinese is the 2nd largest population in malaysia... chinese votes plays a very important role in deciding certain seats, heck, every vote is important nowdays!...
to me, the chinese are pretty fearful of the idea that if barisan alternatif wins (which is not impossible).. pas may have the main say and establish the 'official' islamic state concept.... it is the chinese who are afraid of change!... it is the chinese who are afraid that their rights will be taken away!.. it is the chinese who are afraid of malaysia becoming an 'official' islamic state!... etc...
lemme ask you 3 very simple questions...
why are you afraid of change when you are being suffocated by the current umno-led govt?!?..
why are you afraid of yr rights will be taken away when you already lost everything to the umno-led govt?!?...
why are you afraid of malaysia becoming an 'official' islamic state when everything seems to be so 'officially' islamic nowdays fm the umno-led govt?!?...
again, looking at the nonsense we are going through now, i would personally prefer if all the oppostion parties team up again to knock bn out in the next general election... anyway, who say is impossible?!?...
p/s ; if you understand the concept of pas and some of their heavyweights... pas is wayyyyyyyyyyyy more 'educated and modern' than those fellas sitting up there in umno abusing the nep, promoting street rempiting menace, spending taxpayers money and go for free fall, promoting violence via keris waving and being asked when the 'waver' gonna use it, c4 fm his ministry and keeping extreme silence over it, sleeping during meetings and a lot more lah, just no time to go on!....
will it be better if barisan nasional vs barisan alternatif?!?...
or...
barisan nasional vs opposition in different parties?!?...
honestly, if you ask me, it'll have better effects if the opposition to come as a whole under the barisan alternatif umbrella..
ok, dap failed badly when they teamed up with keadilan and pas then...
as most of us the sane ones know, the sane votes fm the chinese will go to dap (yeah, only the insane ones will go to mca and their respective master) and the chinese is the 2nd largest population in malaysia... chinese votes plays a very important role in deciding certain seats, heck, every vote is important nowdays!...
to me, the chinese are pretty fearful of the idea that if barisan alternatif wins (which is not impossible).. pas may have the main say and establish the 'official' islamic state concept.... it is the chinese who are afraid of change!... it is the chinese who are afraid that their rights will be taken away!.. it is the chinese who are afraid of malaysia becoming an 'official' islamic state!... etc...
lemme ask you 3 very simple questions...
why are you afraid of change when you are being suffocated by the current umno-led govt?!?..
why are you afraid of yr rights will be taken away when you already lost everything to the umno-led govt?!?...
why are you afraid of malaysia becoming an 'official' islamic state when everything seems to be so 'officially' islamic nowdays fm the umno-led govt?!?...
