Dear Najib,
I can't believe that you are dead scared of a so-called "illegal" organization called Bersih 2.0. What is wrong with you men?
Have you gone nuts or what? You start by jailing 6 PSM members under the EO. Why did you lock them up for? For communism, socialism or what.
We would really like to know coz we have a feeling that you have no idea what's the difference between the two. And if you don't have a good reason I urge you to release them un-conditionally NOW!
And funny how things worked out actually. You have deemed Bersih 2.0 to be an illegal organization but the King has agreed to meet them and he has done just that a few days ago. And you know what? Not even UMNO Youth had a chance to meet the King. Even the biggest toad on earth Ibrahim Ali from Perkasa was not granted an audience by the King.
But Bersih has!
This shocked you? Well, you should be shocked considering the kind of filth you and your blady cousin saying in the public these days. How could a yellow t-shirt be of national security concern to you?
Then, how about a yellow underwear? Is that dangerous too?
Najib the way you, your cousin, the Toad, the police and the media handled this is laughable and downright stupid.
I wonder how you are going to handle the economy then!
You have learn nothing about Rakyat Didahulukan. You have been ignorant about the Rakyat's needs all this while and you continue to do so at your own peril.
You will learn the hard way come GE13 if you do not listen to the Rakyat now.
I assure you that we the Rakyat will remember what you did to Bersih 2.0 come GE13. The damage is done and we will show you the exit when the time comes!
So, Najib when is GE13? The faster the better men!
Unless you are still afraid, no?
Bringing Faith and Politics to Main Street. Can it be done? Lets give it a try. With you of course!

Top 7 Reasons NOT To Vote BN Come GE13
Reading the latest happenings about our country is a pain for many of us. Seeing the kind of filth BN politicians churning day in and day out makes you think that Malaysia is in a state of anarchy.
Would anyone disagree? Politically, economically and socially our nation is sinking lower and it seems we are reaching the point of no return.
We were considered to be a model country at one time but today we are on the way to become the “Next Sick Man of Asia” or the next Somalia.
Can we re-claim our country from these corrupt and good for nothing BN politicians? I say we have too. And we need too.
And we need to do it this coming GE13. Personally, I have 7 good reasons to kick BN out of Putrajaya come GE13:-
1) When BN is voted out you vote out people like Ibrahim Ali, Dr M, Perkasa and the likes. When you vote these people out you too vote out extremism, racism and bigotry from our nation. This is something we need to do as the current regime under Najib has failed to reprimand these racist politicians. In fact, Najib and his crony has been giving tacit support and approval by giving some of the most ridiculous statements in our nations history. Let us remember that “Perkasa adalah Perkakas UMNO” (Perkasa is UMNO's tool).
2) When you vote BN out you vote against corruption. This is a curse our nation has to endure since money politics has become so entrenched in our system. Every contract and business awarded has to be accompanied by a certain cut or percentage for those who walk in the corridors of power. Heard of the 10% men and his allegedly Maika shares? Of course, you have the BMF scandal, Perwaja and the latest PKFZ issue which is the hottest topic today but the current BN government seems to be dragging its feet to take those responsible to court. Why??? We can never expect BN to provide us with good governance as this is such an alien word to this bunch of crooks.
3) When you vote BN out you vote for all that stands for freedom and justice. What justice can a man on the street find for himself whenever his NCR land is taken over by BN cronies? What good is freedom if tomorrow he gets up to find his son has been gun down by the police in the wee hours of the morning? We not only need a dedicated and corrupt free cops/courts but also cops/courts who are able to perform their duty without fear or favor!
4) Vote BN out and you vote out an education system that supports mediocrity and second or third best. Look at our education system which is tainted with racism in the form of Biro Tata Negara (BTN) & quota system for university entry etc. If you look at our schools these days we will not fail to see how the standard has dropped from, let’s say 15-20 years ago to today. Our teachers are not equipped to teach English well and this is causing our future graduates to suffer in the employment market. Yet, BN leaders especially the Education Minister has been giving us excuses after excuses till today and the young ones are the most affected. So, why keep these incompetent BN ministers in power? Get rid of them to redeem our education system NOW!
5) When you vote BN out you vote against the likes of Utusan, The Star, TV3 and many other mainstream media which has been controlled, manipulated and shackled by the powers that be. These newspapers especially Utusan has been spewing lies after lies and are still doing so as their political masters are the ones dictating to them what should be the menu of the week. Responsible journalism is such a foreign word to this big time corporate liars. Their recent report on the Christian state and PM is a case in point! They must be stop at all cost and we are the ones who will do it by bringing down BN in the next GE13.
6) Under BN rule Malaysia is facing a serious brain drain in the last few years. The major factors are the lethargic country's economy, educational opportunities, lack of religious freedom, social inequality and BN's affirmative policy in the form of NEP. These factors has made many young Malaysians fed-up with the current state of affairs and this has brought about the a wave of brain drain which is already affecting our economy today. The best brains in our country feels they are not being appreciated and welcomed as most of them are not of the Bumiputera group. Between 2008 & 2009 a total of 300,000 Malaysians has emigrated overseas just after the 2008 tsunami election. We need to put a stop to this brain drain and the starting point is to get rid of BN and vote in a government which is more inclusive and fair in its administration.
7) When we vote BN out, we vote for a better livelihood for all. And I mean for all and not just for the selected few cronies or the elites. Since the Asian Financial Crisis and Anwar's sacking in the late 1990's our ecomony has never really prospered well. The BN government is planning for another round of petrol price hike come this June 2011. And Najib has the gall to say that subsidy has become an opium to the masses. Little did he realise that corruption and money politics in his own party UMNO is the real opium and the root of all evil!
And the list goes on. I'm very sure sure you have your own reason/s not to vote BN this time around. Do add in and see how long the list goes.
I'm convinced that for our country to move forward we need to put BN in its right place which is OUT of Putrajaya. As of now, I can only imagine Pakatan Rakyat as the only viable party to take over this government.
I have made my decision. How about you?

When They Came For Me...
When UMNO-BN came for the communist,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the opposition,
...I remained silent;
I was not a opposition.
When they came for the Chinese,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Chinese.
When they came for the Christians,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Christian.
When they came for me,
There was no one left to speak out,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the opposition,
...I remained silent;
I was not a opposition.
When they came for the Chinese,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Chinese.
When they came for the Christians,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Christian.
When they came for me,
There was no one left to speak out,
For me.

UMNO fiddles while Malaysia Burns!
Waking up two mornings ago to hear Utusan ranting about a group of Christian leaders were praying to change this country to a Christian state with a Christian PM was almost laughable.
Not that a Christian PM is impossible if you go by the provisions in the constitution but a Christian state? They've got to be joking. Or so it seems!
UMNO got to be worried sick that all it's propaganda and maneuvering were not working but it's backfiring them instead. From Anwar Ibrahim Sodomy 2 trial and the so-called sex video seems to be falling on deaf ears and the rakyat don't seem to buying into that and rightly so!
Then, they train their guns on PAS and almost in a begging stance to join them under the pretext of Islamic struggle. UMNO went on to alleged that their partnership with DAP will not get them anywhere coz after all DAP was against the setting up of an Islamic state by PAS.
"So, why stay on with DAP/PR" asked Najib? Their wooing and begging has been derided by PAS as Mahfuz Omar succintly puts it "How can PAS unite with Umno when it is Umno that is oppressing Malaysian citizens?” he argued."
He went on to condemed UMNO as Public Enemy # 1 and they are the worst "national robbers" we have ever seen. This definitly is a tight slap for Najib as the UMNO President has himself extended the invite to PAS themselves. For the record, UMNO has extended 8 invitations to PAS to form a unity government so far!
Not wanting to let go as most UMNO leaders are (even the retired ones) Pembela came up with a statement alleging that Islam is under threat in Malaysia because of Christians now. That a majority population (60%) can feel and be threatened by merely a 10 % of the population is mind boggling to start with.
Their argument was since Christians are being appointed in some non-Muslim affairs portfolio and are still confused by the Allah & Al-Kitab issue will lead to massive apostasy in this country.
Now let us be clear on this. If the Muslim population is confused by all this then the onus is on them to educate and clear any misgivings which they have and NOT to make a scapegoat of others. This is a simple common sense but instead this issue has been turned by UMNO-BN to propagate fear and to further sow their inferioity complex on the majority population of this country.
The Quran first revealed word is "Read" which implies knowledge seeking and the ability to distinguish right from wrong. But here we see Pembela wants Muslims in this country to remain in their ignorance so that the powers that be can control and direct the minds of the Malays according to their whims and fancies!
Then, this sets the stage a few days later for UMNO mouthpiece Utusan to shock the nation that indeed Islam is under threat as Christians are taking over this country. The plot thickens when Utusan alleges that Christians are praying for a Christian PM and and to change the religion of the federation from Islam to Christian.
What nonsense? How far will UMNO go to ensure it wins the next GE13? Are they willing to stoop this low by coming up with such wild allegations without an ounce of truth or evidence. But of course, UMNO-BN has never been concerned with TRUTH since their formation in 1940/50's.
Is it a sign that they are very desparate and willing to go as far as to burn Malaysia down as long as the UMNO-BN is in power. If it is then they have lost their moral right to be leaders of this country. It is truly dangerous to be led by this kind of immoral and unscropulous leaders who are bent on doing anything just so their status quo remains.
The wedge UMNO is trying to drive between Pakatan partners has not been effective enough. Indeed, many are able to see their dangerous game that UMNO is playing with. Let me reiterate that UMNO will not give up playing with this kind of fire. It won't as long as their position as the number one party in this country is so threatened today.
The real party who feels threatend is not the Muslims as many thinking Muslims has said but UMNO themselves. UMNO are the ones who is fiddling with many unnesasary issues for their own survival while Malaysia burns!
Let's bring them down once and for all for the good of this nation in the next GE13!
Let's Press On!!!

Christians of Sarawak, be a Catalyst of Change!
by Martin Jalleh
Christians of Sarawak, your hour has come! May you have the courage to respond to the clarion call of leading the charge of change in your State and country.
May your vote convince the PM that the religious freedom of Christians and other faiths cannot rest merely on his sudden goodwill conveyed at cordial, congenial and courteous close-door meetings.
May your choice reflect the earnest prayer of Christians that the government honor and respect our basic constitutional rights, and not subject them to changes according to political expediency of the moment.
May your courage bring to the fore the problems related to religious harmony which the BN Government has created or is complicit to, its conceited responses and ad-hoc solutions which contradict its very own policies!
The challenge before you goes far beyond that of the recent Bible controversy. It is to express distinctly to the PM the deep disappointment and discontent of Christians being discriminated against over the years.
May you covey very clearly to the PM the concern and consternation of Christians of being made victims of the frequent contravention (with impunity) of the constitutional guarantees of religious freedom.
May you echo the growing anguish and anger of Christians who refuse to be cowed by the constant taunts, threats and tirades of “Little Mullah Napoleons” in Umno, Perkasa, Pembela, the Home Ministry, etc.
May yours be a conscious stand against those who are a cog in Umno’s machine, a party which has politicised religion for its survival by creating unfounded insecurities and fear amongst Muslims and a distrust of other religions.
The PM was right. Change brings with it uncertainty. But God will see you through. A vote for BN will bring you the “certainty” of continued racial and religious polarisation and compound the culture of corruption, cronyism and crippling fear.
May your concerns be not confined to the well-being of Christians alone but may they envelope, and embrace the struggles encountered by the peoples of all races and religions, yes, even the Muslims too.
May you champion the common good and be an answer to the longing and prayer of deliverance of the long-suffering people living in long-houses and languishing in abject poverty.
May you make it your Christian duty to stand up for the marginalised indigenous peoples of Sarawak who have been deceived, discriminated against, displaced, dislodged, dispossessed, deprived and disempowered.
May your Christian compassion move you to act justly for those who have become disillusioned, demoralised and dysfunctional by the divisive and diabolical designs of the powers that be.
May God free you from the “contamination” of Semenanjung. May your Christian conscience prompt you to chose the side which Jesus would — those who have no cash, credit, clout, cables or connection!
By the grace of God, may your response to the Christian call to the conversion of heart (especially as we come close to the climax of Lent) be a personal transformation from one of compromise to courage and from convenience and comfort to commitment to justice and peace.
May God be with you as you exercise you Christian duty of casting vote in this crucial moment of Sarawak’s history! May God bless Sarawak!

Sarawakians, Seize the Moment!
By Martin Jalleh
Sarawakians, you stand at the threshold of a great deciding and defining moment of change. You can either decisively help shape the future of your State or let it slide and sink like a tragic struggling shipwreck.
Sarawakians, may you be steadfast in this challenging hour! Sadly, after three decades, you are one of the poorest “richest” States in Bolehland and many in the land of the Hornbill are languishing in poverty.
“Sack” those who for the past 30 years have betrayed Sarawak by bleeding the State dry, siphoning and stashing their ill-gotten gains overseas and building a scandalous empire there.
Stop the scoundrels and self-serving sycophants who suck up to the powers that be to satisfy their insatiable greed, whilst marginalized indigenous Sarawakians suffer indescribably and struggle to eke out a living!
Ship out those who have repeatedly and rampantly robbed her people of their rights, ransacked the State’s coffers, ravished her natural resources and remained silent as the children of her natives are raped!
Stand firm against the local colonialist master who has through the last 30 years of larceny surreptitiously sequestered more than 1.5 million hectares of Native Customary Rights (NCR) land for his family members!
Send into political oblivion the spent white-haired chief (whose political shelf life has long expired) and other senior ministers of suspect character, soiled reputations, who readily sell their souls to remain in power.
Shame the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for its deafening silence over the mounting and meticulous evidence on corruption by the Sarawak State Government as revealed in the Sarawak Report.
Say “NO MORE!” to being sidelined and side-stepped by the Executive in Putrajaya and being treated like a bastard or stepchild. Say “NO MORE!” to being deceived, denied and deprived of what is rightfully yours.
Shout aloud “ENOUGH!” to being suckered, spit at and stepped on by the BN government and spineless Sarawak BN MPs who in Parliament have sacrificed your rights at the altar of political expediency!
Shun the short-term and sudden seductions of the “Santa Claus” PM whose political acumen has sunk so very low as seen in his vote buying and his desperate attempts to destroy his opponents with sex and slime.
Spurn the shallow, hollow and bellow of the small-minded Deputy PM who never fails to spew out senseless speeches, silly scare tactics, sabre-rattling tricks and sinister theatrics.
Stomach no more the shocking, scandalous and shambolic state of affairs concerning education and health, which were ironically highlighted by the sudden and recent allocations made by the PM and DPM!
Send the PM and deputy PM who are bankrupt of ideas and who have come to bribe you with the rakyat’s money, back to Semenanjung without their “Fixed Deposit” – as Umno continues to be their “Fixed Deficit!!
Stir and summon the indomitable spirit of people power to take on the insurmountable odds and to overcome the BN’s offering of blood sacrifices and invoking of evil spirits to cast spells and curses on the opposition.
Save your state, Sarawakians! By your self-determination, show the shameless leaders of the BN and their supercilious political representatives that you cannot to be bought over or bullied!
Sarawakians, by your solidarity, save the country! Strike at the very roots that have caused Bolehland to degenerate into a “sick country” and a “sham democracy” (Tengku Razaleigh)! Reject BN at the elections!
P.S. Please forward to your friends in Sarawak. Thanks!

FULL FREEDOM, FULL RIGHTS - NO TO 10-POINT PROPOSAL
UPHOLD DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES: FULL FREEDOM, FULL RIGHTS - NO TO 10-POINT PROPOSAL
Kuala Lumpur – 8 April 2011. CCM Youth issued a press release today expressing their views in response to the various press statements issued by the Christian Federation of Malaysia (“CFM”), the National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (“NECF”), the 10-point solution as proposed by Senator Datuk Seri Idris Jala (“10-Point Proposal”) Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, and comments made in the media by the Home Minister, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and various parties.
- 10-POINT PROPOSAL ONLY ADDRESSED THE ALKITAB ISSUE
The 10-Point Proposal presumed that Christians were only concerned with the Alkitab issue. That premise is incorrect. The 10-Point Proposal distracted both the public and the church leaders from getting to the heart of the matter, that is, the concern over the overt and covert manner which the government had discriminated against the Christian citizenry for close to forty (40) years that had resulted in the gradual deterioration of basic rights of Christians to freely exercise their faith.
- RESTORE FULL RIGHTS AND FULL FREEDOM ENSHRINED IN THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION
CCM Youth denounced deplorable accusations that Christians were not being “fair” or “reasonable” in resolving the Alkitab matter. CCM Youth disclosed that the Malaysian government had unreasonably and unjustly acted in bad faith since the early 1970s to-date against the Christian community. Among some examples were:
<Gradual erosion of the control of mission schools which included even the physical removal of words such as “Holy” and crosses from schools, even though the land, building and board of governors belonged to the church;
<Removing or disallowing “Christian Fellowships” from being recognized as societies in schools and universities;
<Harassing and transferring out Christian teachers found teaching Bible Knowledge, a legitimate examinable subject for the SPM;
<Gazetting the AlKitab, the Bible in Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia, as a threat to national security under the Internal Security Act;
<Denying the use of the word “Allah” for the Christian God, even though it had been used by indigenous groups way before independence, and being the only Muslim country in the world to do so despite wide Arab usage;
<Denying Christians land to operate churches or cemeteries.
And the list goes on.
CCM Youth was saddened that Christians today were openly abused, harassed and provoked in the media and encouraged by the government, with all sorts of erroneous information being placed on official government websites put up as decrees; linking activities from Valentine’s Day to ‘poco-poco’ to crosses on football jerseys, to Christian beliefs without so much as a dialogue or a clarification with the Christian community. So much so that even the Islamic government machinery, with nods from cabinet ministers, the Home Ministry and state governments, unashamedly encouraged over-zealous religious officers and Islamic-based NGOs, to propagate and sow seeds of hatred towards the Christian community.
CCM Youth was informed that recently a group of students went for an excursion to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, and were denied entry just because their uniform had a cross. After so many years of racial-religious polarisation under the hands of government machinery, religious and racial bigotry is now blatantly practised and widely nurtured in government departments against Christians.
CCM Youth believed that the 10-Point Proposal was superfluous as Christian citizens were not asking for anything extra, but for their basic constitutional rights, enshrined in the Federal Constitution, to be respected and honoured.
- CHRISTIANS’ BIRTHRIGHT TO READ, SPEAK AND WRITE IN THE NATIONAL LANGUAGE
CCM Youth opined that it was ludicrous to deny Malaysian Christian citizens the right to use the country’s national language for the purposes of exercising their faith. On the one hand, non-Malay citizens are often criticized for their purported lack of loyalty when they did not speak Bahasa Malaysia, but when they did, like in this case in order to read the Bible, which they had been doing for generations, they were denied that right! CCM Youth reiterated that as citizens of this country, it was their God-given birthright, which “should not be given up, negotiated, traded away, nor ‘sold for a bowl of pottage’ ”, being simply rushed into just because Christian leaders were offered a “quick-fix” solution to the immediate problems that were originally created by unjust parties.
- THE 10-POINT PROPOSAL DOES NOT CARRY THE WEIGHT OF LAW
CCM Youth decried attempts to create a “Band-Aid” compromise solution that did not carry the weight of law. If the Malaysian government were truly sincere, there would not be a need for a 10-Point Proposal. Insofar as this matter was concerned, all the government needed to do was to instruct the Home Ministry to drop its appeal on the “Allah” issue, which the Catholic Church won on 31 December 2009 when it took the case to the High Court. This action would immediately lead to the withdrawal of the Allah and the Alkitab from any further restrictions in the country. CCM Youth urged the government to uphold democratic principles and not play games by taking a round-about route that did not reflect their sincerity.
<10-POINT PROPOSAL SOWS DISUNITY AMONGST CHRISTIANS
The 10-Point Proposal served only to promote disunity amongst Christians, playing to the ruling government’s “divide-and-rule” tune. CCM Youth questioned how it could be plausible for a 1Malaysia, yet a 2-Bible and 3-Rule solution? If at all, it only cemented CCM Youth’s opinion that 1Malaysia had been nothing but political rhetoric. If Christian leaders had agreed to this proposal, the Orang Asal of Sabah and Sarawak would have one rule; while believers in the Peninsula, including the Orang Asli, would have another rule. Should Christians subject themselves to such confusion and be manipulated to accept such terms? Likewise, by agreeing to such terms now, would Christians then forfeit the right to resolve future outstanding matters beyond the Alkitab issue?
- NO GUARANTEE THAT PLEDGES OR ASSURANCES WILL BE HONOURED
Time and time again, the Christian community have been given assurances but only to be disappointed later on. CCM Youth urged church leaders to be wise, for what had been dressed as compromise could turn out to be an entrapment – “Even the elect were deceived, if that were possible.” CCM Youth pointed out that they were well aware that there were many obstacles ahead, and they understood the “card game was in the hands” of the government. Even if the Federal government gave the impression of giving way, they could fall back on the state government machinery that would kick in and take that to another gear which involved harassing book stores, printers, forwarding agents, schools and so on, located in affected states.
- THE TIPPING POINT – TODAY’S DECISION WILL IMPACT FUTURE GENERATIONS
CCM Youth urged church leaders to take their time and not to be in a hurry. It was imperative that they did not fail future generations, or act in a manner that could adversely undermine or enslave future generations from practising their faith freely. CCM Youth urged church leaders to remain faithful and to take as much time as they needed to ponder and to ask pertinent questions without compromising the faith. Otherwise, future generations would return to remind past generations of leaders of "compromises" made today, or that the church leaders held silent when they could have spoken up, having restrained themselves from pursuing justice when they had the opportunity to do so. CCM Youth urged church leaders not to worry about having to come to a decision by the CFM’s Biennial General Meeting on April 14, 2011, but to take ample time to pray and seek the Lord before coming to a decision.
CCM Youth reminded church leaders that even the youths today were still learning the full extent of the rights that had been eroded to-date as events unfolded, and CCM Youth would endeavour to support church leaders to their best of abilities to recover that which was lost, and hand over full freedom to future generations as their legacy.
- ARE WE SPEAKING TO THE RIGHT PARTY WITH THE AUTHORITY?
With due respect to Senator Datuk Seri Idris Jala, CCM Youth raised concerns that there were no assurances that he had the full weight of the cabinet behind him in this regard, given the underlying tones and lack of media support from cabinet ministers. Even the Prime Minister himself had been strangely silent. From remarks given by the Home Minister and various “shadow gatekeepers”, there had been no assurance that the relevant ministries would honour any form of agreement. What remained consistent so far had been the consistency of the government’s inconsistencies. The danger of flip-flops was not a probability, but a given. CCM Youth believed that this rush to force a solution was inadvertently linked to the outcome of the Sarawak elections and the potential impact from its Christian majority population. CCM Youth observed that it was this careless ‘short-term opportunistic’ attitude of the government for political expediency that had made them wary of such overtures and advised church leaders to exercise greater caution under such circumstances. If the government were sincere in addressing the grievances of the Christian community, CCM Youth believed that nothing less than the coming together of a task force from the Prime Minister’s Department, the Home Ministry, the Attorney General, the Education Ministry and all state governments and Islamic departments had to take place.
- SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD
CCM Youth pointed out that it was Datuk Seri Idris Jala who apologized. So far, no official statement of apology had been offered by any ministry, especially none was forthcoming from the Home Minister, the main protagonist who directed the stamping of the Bibles. The public ought to know that this entire episode of the desecration of the Christian’s Holy Scriptures happened during the holy month of LENT which precedes and commemorates the Lord Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and celebrates His resurrection. If an opportunity presented itself for reconciliation and restoration to properly right the grave wrong committed, CCM Youth would certainly offer forgiveness. Obviously, the situation had yet to present itself.
- CHRISTIAN CABINET MINISTERS MUST TAKE LEADERSHIP
CCM Youth noted that except for Datuk Seri Idris Jala, many Christian cabinet ministers have kept silent. One cabinet minister even called Christians foolish for holding prayer rallies. CCM Youth challenged cabinet ministers to be faithful and to choose today whom they served – whether God or man.
CCM Youth reiterated that they were not being unreasonable, audaciously demanding or stirring trouble. CCM Youth regretted that for a long time, the Church had remained silent, having compromised when it should not have. In good faith, church leaders had been drawn into endless unproductive closed-door meetings, given verbal promises and handshake agreements that never materialized. Unfortunately for the Church, Christian goodwill had not been reciprocated, and closed door agreements never honoured. The recent desecration of the AlKitab was the last straw.
CCM Youth called upon all Christians today to rally firmly behind their Christian leaders as they worked towards a resolution for the community. CCM Youth urged the Christian community to uphold their leaders in prayer more fervently.
CCM Youth reiterated that they remained committed to nation-building and bringing about justice, peace and reconciliation for all Malaysians and migrants, and would stop at nothing to bring about change for the betterment of all peoples regardless of creed, race or religion, through proclaiming truth and bringing about justice and transformation to the nation.
Thank you.

Sidang Injil Baru (SIB) Sarawak – Renewal Evangelical Mission of Sarawak
Surat Jemaat - Vote Wisely this time Around!
Freedom of Religion
Saudara-saudara jemaat di tanah air tercinta Sarawak, yang menjadi umat Allah Bapa dan Tuhan
Yesus Kristus. Kami mengharap semoga Allah memberi berkat dan sejahtera kepada kalian.
We praise God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ that Sarawak is the only Christian majority state
in Malaysia where half the population are Christians. It is with our goodwill and blessings that we
have allowed a Malay Muslim to be the Chief Minister of Sarawak since 1963 except for a brief period
when a Christian held the position until he was unconstitutionally sacked in 1966 by the Federal
government.
We also praise God that one in ten people in Malaysia are Christians. In fact, two thirds of the
Christians are Malay speaking bumiputras in Sarawak and Sabah as well as Orang Asli in Malaya. We
have been using the Malay Alkitab or the Iban Bup Kudus as our Holy Bible for generations.
Sarawak, together with Sabah, Singapore and Malaya formed Malaysia in 1963 under the Malaysia
Agreement. Singapore left the federation two years later. Like the Malays, our special position as
pribumis or natives is protected under Article 153 of the Federal Constitution.
Sarawak has made its position abundantly clear in what is known as the 18-points (20-points in for
Sabah) in drafting the Malaysia Agreement. Point #1 was on freedom of religion: “While there was no
objection to Islam being the national religion of Malaysia, there should be no state religion in
Borneo (Sarawak and Sabah), and the provisions relating to Islam in the present Constitution of
Malaya should not apply to Borneo.”
That was the spirit of the Malaysia Agreement even though this point was amended in the final draft.
East Malaysians were more than magnanimous in making this compromise to UMNO. But recent
events have forced us to come to the conclusion that there is a sinister anti-Christian agenda by
Barisan Nasional especially by UMNO and its proxies in Sarawak. This is unconstitutional.
Bishop Ng Moon Hing, chairman of the Christian Federation of Malaysia pointed out in a statement
on 10 March 2011 over the illegal confiscation of 35,000 copies of the Alkitab: “It would appear as if
the authorities are waging a continuous, surreptitious and systematic programme against Christians in Malaysia to deny them access to the Bible in Bahasa Malaysia.”
We have shown great tolerance despite provocative actions against our faith by the ruling coalition.
But when the government desecrated 35,000 copies of our Alkitab which were illegally confiscated, it
is our wake up-call to defend our constitutional right to profess, practise and propagate our faith.
We have been betrayed by Barisan Nasional. The incumbent Chief Minster and his cabinet, who have
remained in office by our grace for 30 years, have proven to be incapable of defending freedom of
religion in Sarawak. They, therefore, cannot expect to enjoy our trust in the coming state elections.
Even PAS, the Islamic Party, is against the position taken by the ruling coalition against the Alkitab
and to prohibit bumiputra Christians from using the word Allah to refer to God.
We wish to make it clear that we are not against Islam but only against Barisan Nasional’s anti-
Christian agenda, particularly the recent desecration of 35,000 copies of our Alkitab. They were
unconstitutionally impounded by the Home Ministry.
Barisan’s anti-Christian agenda began when Dr Mahathir Mohamad became prime Minister in July
1981 when he banned the Alkitab under a Gazette Order made under the Internal Security Act in 1982.
When Christians objected, he amended it to a “restricted ban” for use only in churches.
Despite this, various consignments of the Alkitab and Bahasa Christian publications were illegally
confiscated by the Home Ministry by using the Publications and Printing Presses Act. The Bup Kudus
or Iban Bible was banned in 2003 by Abdullah Ahmad Badawi when he was acting prime Minister and
Internal Security Minister. He relented when faced with Iban anger.
Now under Prime Minister Najib Razak’s 1Malaysia, this harassment against the church and
Christians continues unabated leading to the desecration of the 35,000 copies of the Alkitab by
stamping it with serial numbers and the words “For Christianity Only.” We can never agree to this
because the Bible is meant for anyone interested. Only criminals are identified by serial numbers.
It is not that we have not compromised for the sake of peace. We have even gone to the extent to
imprint a large crucifix on the cover of Alkitab with the words “Penerbitan Kristian” or “Christian
Publication” so that Muslims do not buy or receive the Alkitab by mistake.
The Alkitab and Bahasa Christian publications are now planced under the jurisdiction of the Qur’anic
Text Division of the Home Ministry. The desecration of the Alkitab is done by this division.
The shortage of Alkitab in Sarawak, due to the ongoing illegal confiscation of our Holy Scriptures, has
now reached a crisis. Our children and grandchildren have no access to them since birth.
The evidence before us is that Barisan Nasional is persisting in completely wiping out our Christian
Heritage in Sarawak and Sabah by pursuing its unconstitutional and illegal anti-Christian agenda.
Sidang Injil Baru Sarawak, therefore, advises Christians to vote wisely in the coming state elections on
16 April 2011. You do not necessarily have to vote for the Opposition. Vote only for candidates,
including those from Barisan Nasional, whom you feel can act with a clear conscience and integrity
and a proven record of defending the freedom of religion.
Our Christian heritage is at stake. Act now. Vote wisely. Pray for divine intervention.
…
time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
(Romans 13:11 NLT).
Kasih karunia dan damai sejahtera menyertai kamu.

Make a Stand...Interlok or Al-Kitab?
Funny how our BN government is having a tough time to release un-conditionally all Malay Bibles but finds it easy to introduce a racist text book (Interlok) to our school children in no time.
And this is coming from a government who has rule this county for the past 53+ years. And I guess this particular government gets more and more stupid by the day we keep them in power. Well, who is to be blame?
Interlok which has all the ingredients to make this country a boiling pot of Asia has been made a text book for all Form 5 students. Now, what sort of message is BN sending to our youngsters?
Well, for a start it means that all Indians and Chinese are still pendatangs and that's how the next generation of these 2 ethnic groups are to be remembered forever by all.
Secondly, it is perfectly all right to ridicule the "pendatangs" with whatever means possible; cultural or religious. This includes words like pariah, 'anjing orang putih', Chinese sell daughters etc etc etc.
Thirdly, we don't count anymore in this country. Our voices and grievances on this issue seems to be falling on deaf ears. I guess we are not wanted and this is something this racist and bigot government wants to instill into the minds of our students.
Well, to the Umnoputras out there let me put this as straight as I can "We are not leaving this country!"
This is our country as much as yours. It is UMNO who will be leaving starting from Putrajaya. So, if you think you can get rid of the other ethnic groups easily think again.
Today we are seeing the extension of Interlok ridicule on the Christian population. Yeap, it is not in the text book but look where is our country heading to?
The 5100 pcs of Malay Bibles or Al-Kitab which was locked up in some godown port in Sarawak is treated like some contraband item. What are the Umnoputras afraid off?
Now the Al-Kitab has been desecrated and defaced by the order of the Home Ministry. It wanted to add a serial number on its cover without the church's permission. What are they trying to proof.?
Are they trying provoke the Christian population? Or, are they trying to please the Muslim population to gain their votes.
Umno knows the rural seats will be the battleground to gain access into the Malay heartland against PAS.
But at whose expense?
Just imagine if the same were to happen to the Quran? I guess all hell will break loose just like few years ago when some Danish newspaper drew the prophet's cartoon!
I believe that the purpose of having Interlok in our schools today and the restriction and subsequent desecration of the Al-Kitab serves as as tool to gain the support of the Malay voters for the next GE13.
The Al-Kitab which is totally color blind and only speaks of doing good to our enemies has even become one of UMNO tools to in capturing Putrajaya.
Well, UMNO is playing with fire. This round it is the Christian Holy Book. I wonder what they are up to next?
And to the 2 Christian ministers (Idris Jala & Maximus Ongkili) you both are hopeless when it comes to defending you faith. I guess money is your God and it is only apt that you hear what Jesus has to say about politicians like you that "No man can serve two masters...You cannot serve both God and money" (Matt 6:24).
Coz you have shown us clearly who your masters are i.e. UMNO. The same goes to you Gerakan president Koh Tsu Koon a good for nothing minister in charge of National Unity.
And to all people of goodwill all over Malaysia let's bring down this BN government. Let's pray and fast that this BN government will pay the ultimate price for desecrating our Holy Book come GE 13.
Lets make a stand. Lets press on. Lets bring them down.

BN restricting Malay Bible but not Interlok!
There are so many happenings in Malaysia these days and it's hard to keep abreast of all news. From Anwar's sham trial to BN twin wins there is a lot to digest for any man and women on the street.
The most recent controversy is the banning of Malay Bibles by the BN government in Sarawak port. It's funny how our government seem to differ when it comes to using Interlok in the secondary school syllabus. I just don't get it guys!
The Interlok is such a subversive material which disregards the sensitivities of minorities in Malaysia. The Bible does not have any of those elements whether it's printed in English, Malay, Tamil, German etc. But the government still insist to ban it.
The BN government is ok in using racist text book but have the cheek to ban Bibles from entering our shores.
So, why the ban?
This really shows how racist and bigoted our ruling party are.
I just got the news that the racist BN government has released the Malay Bibles which it has detained in Port Klang and Sarawak port recently.
But that doesn't mean they are off the hook. They need to state their stand on the 1986 controversial ruling which bans all publications which uses the word Allah.
If not, history tends to repeat itself especially under the BN rule. It will if BN continues to rule Malaysia after the 13th General Election.
If you asked me this could just be a ploy by BN in facing the Sarawak state elections whereby 43% of the voters are Christians.
Hence, the need to release those Bibles. If not for the Sarawak Elections this issue would have been met with fierce resistance from UMNO and not forgetting Perkasa to continue to ban Malay bibles. The timing was perfect!
I guess the timing is also right to kick BN out of Sarawak and Malaysia as a whole. No God fearing person would ever vote for a party that lives and thrives on racist and bigoted statements and actions.
The BN must fall and it must fall NOW. Lets be ready for GE13 people!!!

BN-UMNO, Please get lost from Penang!
by K.Sudhagaran Stanley
stanley_sudha@yahoo.com
In light of the recent baseless attacks and statements by the Opposition in Penang, Kedah and selangor towards the Pakatan Government, I would like to share with you 12 points on the achievements of the Penang DAP- Pakatan Government.
The facts and figures below were obtained from the Penang State Government.
1) Penang tops in investment in Malaysia attracting almost RM 12.2 billion investments or 26% of the overall investments in Malaysia. A historical success for Penang.
2) Penang was praised by the National Auditor General for being the state with the best financial management from 2008-2009
3) Penang tops in reducing the crime index for 2010 by 27%. It is the highest among all states in Malaysia.
4) Penang is the pioneer and leading state in green initiatives moving towards becoming the first green state in Malaysia.
5) Penang is the only state in Malaysia to be praised by Transparency International for the state government’s open tender and CAT governance based on competency, accountability and transparency.
6) Penang contributes two -thirds of the medical tourism in Malaysia.
7) Penang is the 1st state to give out RM100 annually to senior citizens above the age of 60yrs old. The state government commits to wipe out hardcore poverty and ensures that every family`s income is at least RM 500 a month.
8) Penang has the highest increase of Air-Travelers (30%) in comparison of other Malaysian airports in 2010.
9) Penang has zero unemployment rates and is currently having shortage of workers.
10) Penang state Government guarantees the freedom and upholds the human rights of the people through the freedom of information (FIO) Act and erected the Speaker`s Square at esplanade. The 1st in Malaysia which gives the people the freedom to voice their opinion.
11) Penang is the most committed and active in protecting, preserving and promoting heritage conservation such as the UNESCO world heritage city of George Town.
12) Penang is ranked as the most livable city in Malaysia.
As a Penang citizen, I am very proud of the success of my beloved Pakatan government.
The UMNO-Barisan racist company Sdn.Bhd, ( i say company because they are a money making politician, and sdn.bhd because they make money, stolen from the public, for their own pockets) is trying all its way's to down grade the Penang government and slander lies towards it`s administration. In recent news, we hear of the Racist BN company sdn.bhd attacking the Penang state Government and slandering lies against them.
I would like to tell the Penang Gerakan chief Dr Teng Hock Nan and the Umno liaison chief Zainal Abidin Osman, to mind your own business and not interfere in the affairs of Penang. The people of Penang had voted in the PR government and had given them the powers to run the Penang State. We don’t need your comments or advices on how to run the state as you guys come from a bad history and even a present fact of a corrupted and racist government. The people of Penang had clearly rejected the BN-UMNO in the last General Elections. Please stay out of Penang and let our government do their job.
The people of Penang today are very happy with state`s administration. There are many positive policies and steps taken by the government in favor of the Rakyat and not themselves. There are still many policies that cannot be enforced because of the involvement of the Federal Government led by the BN-UMNO Racist company sdn.bhd in the administration of Penang state. A very good example of such a matter would be the implementation of the State Local Council Elections. The state government is unable to move ahead with the plan because it requires the approval of the agencies controlled by the Federal government. Many problems in Penang today is due to the centralization of power in the federal government which controls all federal agencies. Decision by the federal is the key to such positive steps and the centralization of power had hampered the positive steps taken by the state government. Yet, the state is still working hard and trying it`s best to implement its plan through various ideas and measures taken. An example for that would be the creating of a port folio in the Penang Government to look after the affairs of non-Muslim. Such great and positive steps were never taken or considered by the previous BN-UMNO.
The federal government is only interested in a matter that brings income to their pockets. They will try whatever ways possible to create disunity among the races in Malaysia and shoot down critics by controlling the media and the enforcing of various draconian laws which are widely not accepted by the nation, to hold on to power. The recent Interlok Novel issue is a very good example on how the BN-UMNO is trying to poison the mind of the Rakyat and create disunity among them. The incident of the 3 students being held up and questioned by the police in the police station for nearly 10 hours without the consent of their parents is also a very good example on how the government uses the police to create fear among the Rakyat and shut them up. These students had returned their form 5 Novel “Interlok” to their headmaster because they were not happy with the content. Instead of investigating the government for making such book compulsory in form 5, the police abused the students by holding them up for 10hrs illegally without the conduct of law.
The people of Penang has spoken, and the message is clear, That we have made a good choice in selecting the DAP-Pakatan government to rule our state. I believe, if given the opportunity to govern Penang for at least another 4 term, we would be able to compete with Singapore and reach great heights, with fair and proper policies that benefit all citizens in Penang.
Meanwhile, the opposition in Penang can dream of taking back Penang in the next General Elections. Penang citizens are now matured and wise in choosing their government. So BN-UMNO company sdn.bhd which will soon be bankrupt can continue dreaming!

In light of the recent baseless attacks and statements by the Opposition in Penang, Kedah and selangor towards the Pakatan Government, I would like to share with you 12 points on the achievements of the Penang DAP- Pakatan Government.
The facts and figures below were obtained from the Penang State Government.
1) Penang tops in investment in Malaysia attracting almost RM 12.2 billion investments or 26% of the overall investments in Malaysia. A historical success for Penang.
2) Penang was praised by the National Auditor General for being the state with the best financial management from 2008-2009
3) Penang tops in reducing the crime index for 2010 by 27%. It is the highest among all states in Malaysia.
4) Penang is the pioneer and leading state in green initiatives moving towards becoming the first green state in Malaysia.
5) Penang is the only state in Malaysia to be praised by Transparency International for the state government’s open tender and CAT governance based on competency, accountability and transparency.
6) Penang contributes two -thirds of the medical tourism in Malaysia.
7) Penang is the 1st state to give out RM100 annually to senior citizens above the age of 60yrs old. The state government commits to wipe out hardcore poverty and ensures that every family`s income is at least RM 500 a month.
8) Penang has the highest increase of Air-Travelers (30%) in comparison of other Malaysian airports in 2010.
9) Penang has zero unemployment rates and is currently having shortage of workers.
10) Penang state Government guarantees the freedom and upholds the human rights of the people through the freedom of information (FIO) Act and erected the Speaker`s Square at esplanade. The 1st in Malaysia which gives the people the freedom to voice their opinion.
11) Penang is the most committed and active in protecting, preserving and promoting heritage conservation such as the UNESCO world heritage city of George Town.
12) Penang is ranked as the most livable city in Malaysia.
As a Penang citizen, I am very proud of the success of my beloved Pakatan government.
The UMNO-Barisan racist company Sdn.Bhd, ( i say company because they are a money making politician, and sdn.bhd because they make money, stolen from the public, for their own pockets) is trying all its way's to down grade the Penang government and slander lies towards it`s administration. In recent news, we hear of the Racist BN company sdn.bhd attacking the Penang state Government and slandering lies against them.

Mahathir oh Mahathir
Whatt happen to this old man? Just can't let go? Well, for those who don't know Mahathir is launching his Memoir "A Doctor in the House" tomorrow.
I guess he has the need to put things in his perspective so that everyone will get into the same page as him. Most probably the Textbook Division under the Education Ministry will change our History again to accomodate Tun Mahathir's version of history. You'll never know!
Which begs the next question. What is Tun Mahathir legacy exactly? Simple:-
- Money politics in UMNO and BN as a whole
- The rape of judiciary
- Operasi Lalang
- BMF scandal
- Bakun dam
- The sacking & jailing of Anwar Ibrahim
- Father of racism as espoused by our Federal Minister Nazri
And I guess the list goes on. Lets see how he deals with these issues in his memoir. Then you know the kind of man he is. A coward or someone coming to terms with his life.
Lets wait and see. Should be mind boggling so to speak!

Malaysians Deserve Better!
For a start this is not an analysis of what went wrong for PR in both the by-elections of Merlimau and Kerdau today. I'm sure there will be a few in the next few days.
First things first, BN's formula is working and they are regaining their strength day by day. Their ultimate tools Perkasa & Dr. Mahathir racist rhetoric and Utusan has been doing a good job in regaining the masses back to the fold. If not, how else to explain the increased in majority?
In addition, the Interlok issue has not been a crowd puller even for the Chinese and Indian voters in Merlimau and Kerdau this time around. Hindraf has lost its plot and their main supporters i.e. Indian voters are going back to BN big time.
Lets not forget the powerful BN machinery which is ever ready to do what it takes to get the votes in. It seems the BN machinery has been given an impetus with the likes of Ummi Hafilda even after 13 years of low profile.
So, what happens now? I guess the stage is set for UMNO/BN to call the shots. Is PR ready for GE13? I hope they are coz as Raja Petra put it "it's now or never" if we wanna change the government in Malaysia.
So, bring it on! We the people will press on for a change in Malaysia simple because We Deserve Better!!!
We will press on for a better governance in this country.
We will press on for a just and free Malaysia where all Malaysians are treated equally.
We will press on till we see the day this oppressive BN government is replaced with a government of the people, by the people and for the people!
Malaysians, We Deserve Better!!!

The Tragedy of 1Malaysia!
I was just listening to some of Beyond songs a group who were very famous in the 1980/90's in Hong Kong. It is my favourite Chinese band with a colorful past. But tragedy struck in 1993 when the lead singer fell to his death from a 3 metre stage.
Our country too had a colorful past under the premiership of Tunku right till Tun Hussein Onn. Then tragedy struck our nation when Mahathir came to power and dismantled almost every institution this country has ever cherished i.e. judiciary.
Badawi was next and he slept thru his administration. Najib took over and came up with his 1Malaysia slogan inspired by APCO. So, what is actually 1Malaysia and what it has achieved so far?
Frankly, it has achieved quite a lot. Najib needs to turn the tide back that gave PR control in 5 states that broke BN 2/3 monopoly.
Firstly, it has been able to break the Indian voters after the Tsunami 2008. The Indians were kingmakers in many contituencies in much of the northern/central states in the penisular. They were united to bring down BN under the inspirational HINDRAF movement.
If this particular minority is not divided then there is a big chance of 2008 repeating itself. Hence, Makkal Sakhti Party came and a host of other splinter Indian based parties too. Even Hindraf has lost its plot and are seen to be more anti PR then BN itself.
I feel the Indian voters has also lost its direction and most probably will fall back to BN. So, if you are thinking that 1Malaysia is to unite Malaysians think again. It is just a front to achieve its political goal of uniting the whole of Malaysia under 1BN rule hence 1Malaysia.
How about the Malay voters? Looks like they are making a return to BN going by what the last by-election results are anyway. Najib has been able to inch his way to the Malay voters enclave but he knows he can't do it alone.
He does it with Perkasa as his tool and Utusan newspaper as his mouthpiece. These two groups has been in the forefront espousing Malay supremacy day in and day out. And some are actually buying it especially those from the contractors class.
In addition, these two mouthpiece has been loud and clear and in no uncertain terms made their intentions known that Malays will loose their power in this land if PR comes to power. That message has been bandied about almost every other day and it seems to be bearing some results too.
I can't say that the Malay voters are coming back in droves but what is certain is they are coming back to be re-united under Najib's UMNO. I guess in this sense Najib's 1Malaysia beginning to have some desired results.
Mahathir put it aptly that the real kingmakers are the Malay voters if only they are united. And this is what 1Malaysia has been doing quietly but surely.
What about the Chinese voters? Well, they have been practical and steadfast about the need for change. This is one group that Najib is not able to make much progress in terms of political support.
MCA has not been that helpful either in gaining mileage for any support for BN as a whole. And I guess that is why 1Malaysia is so important to Najib coz he just can't rely on his own BN counterparts to do a good job.
So, what is Najib's 1Malaysia plan for the Chinese community? Frankly, I am without a clue and hoping someone out there could tell me.
Sabah & Sarawak? Well, they are already 1Malaysia meaning under 1BN rule hence the term "fixed deposits for BN" so why go and mess things up there.
In fact, Sabah has gone one step further. They are no more 1Malaysia but 1Asia coz of their rather "inclusiveness" to the massive influx of foreign nationals from Indonesia, Phillipines, Pakistan, Semenanjung etc.
So what have we learn from here. A few things:-
- 1Malaysia is a political tool/trap to achieve 1BN rule in Malaysia.
- 1Malaysia methodology is "divide and rule" the Malaysian voters to achieve BN rule. Divide the kingmakers and rule the rest of them.
- 1Malaysia tool is Perkasa and Utusan newspaper is their mouthpiece. Why do you think Najib has been quiet and not taken any steps or action on these two groups?
Now is the Selangor government divided on this issue? What the heck? They should just go ahead and ban this 1Malaysia idea/slogans/symbols and what not.
1Malaysia is a trap that would lead to Pakatan's death and I can imagine Najib is having a good laugh now.
In conclusion 1Malaysia is just a front for Najib's to work out his strategy to unite Malaysia under his rule. If this strategy works out then it is a Tragedy for all Malaysians!
Remember 1Malaysia = 1BN Rule (read: Divide and Rule)
