| Hindraf: Putting words in PM's mouth! Posted: 15 Nov 2012 05:43 PM PST I usually don't like commenting on Nazri Aziz, the minister at PM's Dept, partly because he is 'so close' to the Prime Minister and that he 'speaks for him'. However, his recent statement about Datuk Seri Najib's willingness to have a dialogue with the banned Indian group Hindraf was very intriguing. Does PM really want to have people like P Uthayakumar and Waythamoorthy in his office when the two had clearly shown their dissent for the government, creating chaos and inciting hatred among Malaysians?  A check with the PM's Office unveils that Najib has no intention whatsoever to meet with them. Neither had he mention in any meeting to 'invite' Hindraf leaders to his office for a chat or discussion. "What's the point of meeting them? The PM didn't give any hint (for the meeting). Furthermore, Hindraf is declared an unlawful group and is not recognised by the government," one of his senior aides told me on Monday, declining to say anything about Nazri's statement. A Najib-Hindraf meeting will put the PM so low and will imply how desperate he and his government is in wooing support for the upcoming general election. Unless he wants to use 'reverse psychology' on Hindraf the same way when he met that 'four-letter-word' Namewee. Nazri's statement is drawing flak all around. The Opposition media like Malaysia Kini, Malaysia Chronicle and others are giving the impression that Najib is so 'hard-up' to meet with Hindraf leadership. It also implies how bad the situation in BN is that it warrants Najib to do anything to get the Indian votes! And I don't think MIC likes the idea of a Najib-Hindraf meeting. Although its president G Palanivel has shunned the idea that such talk was a sign of the premier's deteriorating confidence on MIC, the BN component is still faced with an uphill task to convince the Indian community that it is still relevant and far better off than Hindraf and any other Indian-based political parties. But what prompted Nazri to put words in Najib's mouth, and why is the PM seems to be 'very permitting' in anything that the minister says on his behalf? I personally don't find this amusing as it depicts Najib as a 'half past six' PM, sorry to say. He himself should be firm when it comes to matters like these and must not allow others to speak for him, especially when it concerns dignity and principle. As leaders, we should not allow our wife to walk a step ahead of us. Even Islam does not allow that as it is 'kurang ajar'!   | |||
| Posted: 15 Nov 2012 04:30 AM PST Gaza is under attack again. Israel couldn't be bothered with the Maal Hijrah celebrated by Muslims worldwide. When they feel like killing the Palestinians, they will enjoy most doing it on the days when the Palestinians think Tel Aviv would refrain from doing so. After all, Benjamin Netanyahu had never launched any war on the Palestinians, let alone on Gaza strip.  The Israeli Prime Minister has boasted never having declared a war in the total of seven years he has led the country, despite he himself being a belligerent talker. About a month ago, in a Knesset speech, Netanyahu accused his predecessor Ehud Olmert of entering 'two unnecessary wars', the Second Lebanon War and Operation Cast Lead in Gaza. And in Washington, President Barack Obama remains adamant when it comes to Israeli atrocity in Gaza. The most he will say is 'Israel deserves every rights to defend itself from the Palestinian provocation', knowing well that Tel Aviv is ready to massacare a few thousand Palestinians over the death of its one soldier. The United Nations? Forget it! The UN is in the US bloody hands. No way they will condemn the air attacks whicn began on Tuesday night. If there is any, the US and its allies in Security Council will veto it. In Doha, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani warned that Israel's deadly raids on the Islamist-controlled must not go unpunished, state news agency QNA reported on Thursday. "This vicious attack must not pass unpunished," QNA quoted the premier as saying at a Wednesday meeting in Saudi Arabia of the six Gulf Arab states. "The UN Security Council must take up its responsibility to secure peace and security in the world." Malaysia also urged the United Nations, particularly the Security Council, to take immediate resolute action over what it called irresponsible military action by Israel against innocent civilians in Gaza. Foreign Minister Anifah Aman said Malaysia condemned in the strongest terms the continuing Israeli military assaults and air strikes on Gaza, which have led to the deaths of a Palestinian leader and seven others, including two children. "Malaysia urges all parties involved to stop any provocative action, remain calm and exercise restraint to avoid greater damage and loss of life, especially among the civilian population in the Gaza Strip," he said in a statement today. And where is Anwar Ibrahim, the opposition leader? Will he issue a similar statement... or will he choose not to say anything about it?   |
