Jerebu yang kini dialami oleh kawasan pantai barat Semenanjung Malaysia amat membimbangkan. Pada hari ini, negeri Selangor merakamkan bacaan indeks pencemar udara (IPU) yang amat tinggi, khususnya di kawasan berhampiran Kuala Selangor (97) dan Nilai, Negeri Sembilan (98).

Merujuk kepada peta satelit, jelas dilihat bahawa punca jerebu kali ini adalah pembakaran yang berlaku di Sumatera, Indonesia.

Mengikut laporan yang disediakan oleh Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia, bilangan "hotspot" yang terdapat di Sumatera mencapai 202 pada 11 September, manakala tiada yang dikesan di Semenanjung Malaysia.

Pada hari ini, bilangan hotspot telah menurun sedikit, dengan 34 dikesan.

Jelas bahawa punca jerebu kali ini berada di luar kawalan Kerajaan Negeri Selangor. Walau bagaimanapun, Kerajaan Negeri Selangor bersama-sama agensi kerajaan telah meningkatkan usaha pemantauan untuk memastikan pembakaran tempatan tidak memburukkan lagi keadaan.

Saya ingin menggesa Menteri Luar Negara untuk memberi keutamaan kepada kesihatan rakyat Malaysia dengan menyuarakan bantahan terhadap pembakaran yang berlaku di Sumatera kepada kerajaan Indonesia. Keadaan berjerebu ini telah pulang berulang kali tahun ini.

Saya juga ingin menyeru kerajaan pusat untuk menyiasat semua syarikat-syarikat Malaysia yang memiliki ladang di Sumatera untuk memastikan mereka lebih bertanggungjawab dalam kaedah pertanian mereka.

Segala aktiviti pembakaran yang dijalankan bukan sahaja menjejaskan nama negara tetapi malang lagi, jelas memberi kesan teruk terhadap rakyat Malaysia.

3 hari berlalu, mana senarai masuk Umno?

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 01:14 AM PDT

Sudah berlalu tiga hari cabaran Dewan Pemuda PAS kawasan Padang Terap. Nampaknya, tiada respons daripada kepemimpinan Umnobahagian Padang Terap.

Gagallah mereka mengemukakan senarai ahli PAS tersebut. Bukan main gegak gempitanya pengumuman 'pembohongan' tersebut.

Saya percaya akan timbul lagi pengumuman-pengumuman serupa. Malah akan ada beratus-ratus malah beribu ahli PAS akan menyertai parti korup Umnomenjelang pilihan raya umum (PRU) ke-13. |

Sehingga, lojiknya PAS Padang Terap hanya akan berbaki yang dipertua, setiausaha, ketua Pemuda, ketua Muslimat dan ketua ulama sahaja. Teknik yang sudah tidak releven di zaman generasi X dan Y. Zaman Jepun bolehlah.

Ada beberapa teori kegagalan:

(1) Memang berita yang keluar itu satu berita bohong, penceritanya adalah pembohong dan orang yang percaya adalah orang yang kena bohong. Medianya pun pembohong juga. Parti yang mendakwa mendapat ahli PAS itu pun bohong.

(2) Gagal untuk membuktikan isu sebenar, maka spin jadi isu komunis. Sebenarnya hanya untuk menyelamatkan karier politik seseorang. Untuk membuktikan 'kejayaan' mempengaruhi rakyat. Bila bawa isu komunis dalam masyarakat yang bergelumang dengan perjuangan
kemerdekaan, maka gagallah jawabnya.

Berapa orang keluar sebab komunis. Bahkan pekung
Umno semakin terbuka apabila profesr yang mesra Umno sendiri mengakui bahawa negara ini tak pernah terjajah. Itu, kita serah kepada ahli sejarah dan akademik.

(3) Umno akan gunakan nama yang sama untuk mengumumkan ahli PAS yang keluar Umno. Selepas ini akan ada tempat lain yang akan umumkan. Modus operandi ini sudah lama PAS tidak gunakan di Padang Terap.

Kalau Umno nak mulakan, ayuh! Selepas Pakatan Rakyat perintah
Kedah, kita berkhidmat tanpa kira parti. Nampaknya Umno sudah mula timbulkan kegelisahan di celah keharmonian masyarakat di Tandop Besar.

(4) Kerisauan kebangkitan ahli Umno lain yang dipinggirkan bantuan. Walaupun sudah lama berjuang. Saya mengucapkan tahniah kepada keluarga 'PAS' yang mendapat durian runtuh dalam bentuk bumbung baru.

Saya percaya banyak ahli Umno sendiri tak dapat. Boleh sahaja kita senaraikan nama ahli Umno yang sedang menunggu bantuan di kampung Tandop Besar. Yang betul-betul susah. Bahkan seluruh Padang Terap yang merempat. Ingatlah betapa beruntungnya anda semua menjadi ahli PAS.

(5) Umno terkejut. Rakyat Padang Terap terkejut. Rrakyat Malaysia, bahkan ahli Umno sendiri terkejut dengan pendedahan yang dikeluarkan berkenaan salah guna secara tidak beretika
pemimpin Umno Padang Terap duit sebuah syarikat pembinaan.

Yang diambil untuk tujuan aktiviti parti Umno. Duit tu hak milik rakyat negeri Kedah yang dikurniakan Allah. Buat apa ambil.

Salah seorang rakyat yang membaca maklumat yang tersebar ini mengatakan: "Aku tida reda walau setitik air atau sebutir nasi yang dimakan oleh perwakilan Umno dengan menggunakan duit rakyat, iaitu aku".

Sebelum ini mereka anggap Umno adalah parti yang kaya. Maka silap, yang kaya ialah pemimpin Umno.

(6) Kerisauan bahawa ada lagi pendedahan yang akan dibuat. Silakan umum lagi dan ada lagi penyelewengan yang saya akan bongkarkan. Silakan.

Saya tahu masyarakat celik IT sedang memerhatikan dengan dekat cabaran saya. Ada juga kalangan pemimpin Umno yang bertepuk dan bersorak dengan pendedahan saya. Adakah hanya dengan sekadar cabaran cek kosong? Nantikan adegan seterusnya.

Penulis merupakan anggota parlimen Padang Terap dan ketua Pemuda PAS kawasan sama.

What is Pakatan's stand on PPSMI?

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 03:28 AM PDT

While the present government is still dragging its feet in studying the possibility of having both PPSMI (Teaching and Learning Of Science and Mathematics in English) and MBMMBI running concurrently, Pengerusi Lajnah Pendidikan, Abu Bakar Chik was recently reported as saying that PAS totally rejected PPSMI and even questioned PAGE's struggles.

It seems to me that PKR and PAS have publicly objected to and totally rejected PPSMI while DAP appears to prefer having PPSMI option in national schools, with science and mathematics taught in Mandarin and Tamil in vernacular schools. Combined, PAS and PKR simply overwhelm DAP on this issue.

With many parents from both urban and rural areas, including Malays clamouring for PPSMI, we should both implemented concurrently in Sekolah Kebangsaan. Parents will then having a choice of either English or Bahasa Malaysia (with Mandarin and Tamil in the vernacular schools) as the medium of instruction for both these subjects. This would be fairest and most accommodating to all.

With GE13 expected soon, it is time pro-PPSMI parents (who are perceived minority but actually silent majority) consider carefully who and which party to vote for. We must make brave and educated decision by voting for a government that is prepared to implement education policies fairly, especially those specifically provided for in the education acts and does not run contrary to the constitution of our country.

The people's constitutional right to PPSMI must not be left to the whims of politicians!

Pakatan Rakyat, tell us NOW, not after the elections, of your plans for PPSMI if any.

Why I don't celebrate National Day

Posted: 13 Sep 2011 01:54 AM PDT

I don't care for National Day. I don't celebrate National Day.

I don't put up flags, I don't watch the parade. I don't listen any of those manufactured nonsense theme songs like 'Satu Malaysia'. The only thing I celebrate is that I don't have to turn up for work that day. In fact, every morning of that day I wear casual clothes to enjoy my nasi lemak at a kopitiam.

Honestly I don't have reason to celebrate. Why? For what or whom should I celebrate? For BN, MCA, or Perkasa?

Celebrate that one political party that has hijacked my country for 54 years, its institutions and everything it stands for? Celebrate that BN has become a 'big brother' in Malaysia, a government which in turn has become the 'communist' government? The lines are so blurred that I don't even know what is right or wrong in the end.

Malaysia, BN, Umno, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, PPP, PBB, Perkasa and everything in between seems to be nothing more than extensions of one monolithic entity that seeks to control every aspect of our lives, like religion, culture, education, business, and living lifestyle.

We could read practically everyday news about the discrimination of the Chinese or Malay, ISA against civilians or parties who are opposed to the BN, corruption cases, and only everything that is good about BN. Using fear to control Malaysians, they turn into slaves to help BN build a mega corporation.

Celebrate that? Seriously?

Everywhere I turn there are banners with all sort of feel good, sound good exhortations to '1Malaysia'. The prime minister his ministers show '1' with their first finger and smile down benevolently at us while pictures of citizens are conveniently photoshopped beside them as if to say we are all one people, one nation.

National day, BN day - what's the difference? Those posters and banners put up by the town councils and grassroots organisations seem identical to those election banners and posters put up by the BN during election. Who really knows the difference?

The only thing I know is between the political leaders and us there is Satu Malaysia, two different rules. The first rules are apply to the BN. The second rules apply to the civilians. They make millions while we try to eke out a living, we stay together while they move ahead.

'Satu Malaysia' is for suckers who still buy that crap. It's very telling that among that challenges spelled out by PM Najib Razak, is that corruption can be found in every single government project.

Can I count on the government to bail me out when I'm poor and jobless? Can I count on the government to treat me when I am sick and penniless? Can I count on the government to provide me with a social safety net? Can I count on the government when I get old and alone?

It used to be said at least you can count on your EPF when you've reached retirement. Now who the heck knows, the newspapers say EPF had lost money, and BN went ahead and changed the regulation to prevent EPF funds from becoming insolvent. They can actually not pay you the money which they took away without asking your permission. As a Malaysian, who can I really count on except myself?

I think at some point during the celebrations, everyone was supposed to stand up and sing Negaraku together. Do these people even know what they are singing or are they just going through the motions?

Do they even know the true meaning of Negaraku? I for one did not sing Negaraku for it would be a tacit support of a gross hypocrisy. When one thinks of democracy, Malaysia is just about as far away from that as you can get.

The truth is there is nothing in the world I want more than to celebrate National Day, to proudly stand and declare, "I'm Malaysian". But I can't. I can't celebrate National Day while Malaysia remains a nation in captivity and its people are stripped of their rights and civil liberties. I can't celebrate National Day until Malaysia is returned to its rightful owners - the people of Malaysia regardless what race you are.

Put another way, if some goon came into your house and stole all your stuff, you sure as hell don't celebrate that.
