PM Malaysia NAJIB TUN RAJAK in Action

Hi Rakyat Malaysia, ko ingin lihat kote aku??

Chinese in Malaysia give Opinion about BUMIPUTERA

You malays don't like it? You leave! We are going to stay! We like it here! Who gives you the right to tell us what to do?

They just jealous because they are lose in economical race. I can understand that. If immigrants more rich than malays, then malays will be jealous like hell. It happens everywhere. If Chinese poor - I am sure malays never become racists but Chinese never made to be poor. We are made to be winners and sorry to the losers who become racists after that.

Malays never beat Chinese in economy even until end of the world - their destiny is to become slaves.

Why we live in your country because it is easier to earn money there - because your peoples have no brains that is why there are no competitive.

We are not scare at you my friend, lots of Chinese already move to other country such as Australia, Singapore or US. We have the money, we can go everywhere we like even going back to China!

God damn, you are really a fool. Why Chinese are everywhere? Here, let me tell you why. In China, it is hard to earn money because the competitive is extremely high. Where in country like Malaysia, there are no competitive at all - the reason is simple, you malays doesn't know how to do business and earn cash, so all the opportunity goes to the Chinese.

You have brain and you malays are well educated? And want to make Malaysia better? Why Malaysia still likes that? Corrupted, useless, weak junk country! The currency is useless, economy like shit! Think fools!

Thanks to Malaysia? Hahaha! And you said become rich because of Malaysia? No, Chinese become rich because we are hardworking and smart! Fools you! Chinese go everywhere also can live, in Australia, US, and all over the world. Go traveling around and see if you can find any malay! Hahaha!

Become smart because education in Malaysia? Dream! Think smart! Your education system is lousy, suck, useless! The standard is low! Find prove stupid!

Heart? Where is our heart? You malays don't like Chinese, why do Chinese have to pay our heart to Malaysia?

Point the finger to yourself. What a big stupid malay fool dumbass.

Let us face it. You don't want Chinese to get out of Malaysia. Because if they did, Malaysia would never develop. They would also bring a great deal of financial wealth and investments with them too.

Note Malaysia is doing well. It certainly isn't because of the malays.

And Thailand which is another prosperous South-East Asia nation. It also has a large Chinese population and a national culture that is welcoming towards Chinese. At least they have a leader on the South-East Asia knows of how to treat Chinese. It is no wonder that Thailand is on the verge of being a developed nation.

It is undeniable that malays are stupid, incapable and lazy. Why don't they just humbly admit the facts and repent and learn from other races especially Chinese?

What is the point to argue here and wasting time again?

From the first onwards we were merely telling the truths. It wasn't us who think that way but their own Badawi as well.

All malays should go and read the newspaper, even Badawi is ashamed of maintaining the NEP after 34 years of implementing it and these malay baboons are still asking for it.

Even Badawi wanted them to compete on a level playing field.

So what does all these tell the world? It sends a very clear message that it is malays themselves who are incapable and lazy and they don't even want to admit it and make a change!

That is the biggest shame of all.

Can't you see, it is all back to square one. Year in, year out, some talk for half an hour, some one, some two. Some sing, many belt out their most recent released 'pantun'.

After all. Malays are good at that. Suggestions after suggestions, some good, some impossible to realize.

But, do you see any of these materialised? Hardly. Why, why and why???

Because the malays can never change. Never! Why?

The leaders forgot it or were they simply didn't want to address and admit that the actual disease is the malays and the remedy itself is also, the malays. They can never change. What is it about the malays?

Firstly as you all know, they are a lazy species. Since the beginning of time they have been like that. Even the encyclopedia called them as lazy people. I think those British with their accent tried to call them 'MALAS', and if you put 'Y' in, it becomes 'MALAYS'.

Embracing Islam make them a worse lot. Now they have a license to kill anything that gets into their way.

Malays are ungrateful lot. In reality, they just can't live or open their minds for others. When Mahathir said that they are complacent, they put him in jail. When Mahathir encouraged them to learn English language, they got angry with him, saying it is a 'bahasa penjajah'.

When other races 'maju', they got angry with them too. That was why at the end of Mahathir his regime, he said this, "I have achieved greatness as a prime minister, but I only fail in one thing, changing the malays."

Well, nothing to be surprised about anyway since Mahathir is not really a malay, and I guess that was why the malays were angry with him.

Drug abuse, hate, incest, liberal extremism (culture of miniskirts and gay marriages), murder, parochialism, racism, rape, religious fanaticism, snatch theft, spoilt bratty behavior, tribalism, wife abuse, child abuse, all that is associated with the malay race.

To them, malay is the biggest impediment towards building a truly Malaysian nation, and should be chucked into the dustbins of history.

A genetically flawed race cannot be fixed by politically. Nature will take its course and globalization will put them out to pasture.

What have we got now?

Brain drain, economic disparity getting wider, poor education system, racial segregation, widespread corruption, inefficiency and uncompetitive on the government departments and others.

Malaysia is a RACIST Country !!

Be reasonable, not all Nigerians are criminals

We would like to respond to Norman Fernandez’s Watch out for the Nigerians. We, members of the African Students Association which numbers about 200 students studying in Kuching, Sarawak, take affront to his racist remarks towards Africans, in particular Nigerians.

E-mail scammers exist in all countries and consist of people of many races and nationalities, and gullible Malaysians should not even attempt to open such e-mails from wherever they may originate from.

Malaysians too have been involved in large-scale crimes overseas. Examples are ethnic Chinese gangs from Malaysia involved in organised crimes all over the world – from running drugs, gambling, loan-sharking to human trafficking.

Sophisticated criminal organisations from Malaysia have also tapped into credit card fraud business and travel advisories of most countries have highlighted on this fact. There are also Malaysian involved in bomb-making and terrorism activities in Indonesia.

Malaysia is also a significant source of production and export of pirated optical discs and is also the world’s largest exporter of pirated entertainment software. It is not our intention of bring down Malaysians but wish to say that criminals exist in all countries and comprise of all nationalities.

The influx of foreigners into Malaysia (mainly foreign workers) is perceived by many to impinge upon public safety and security. It is commonly perceived that these migrants are engaged in criminal activities.

Indonesians, by virtue of the large presence, committed the most crimes (about 62% of the total crimes committed by foreigners). However, the proportion of crimes committed by foreigners merely hovers around 2% of the total index crimes in Malaysia.[Source: The rise of crime in Malaysia - An academic and statistical analysis by ACP Amar Singh Sidhu]

Fernandez’ claim of Nigerians coming into Malaysia and signing up for courses at “downmarket and financially strapped colleges” is insulting and condescending. Like all international students, we pay higher fees compared to Malaysians at private colleges and we are serious about our studies. We are not allowed to work but rely on our hardworking parents to send us the money to live and hopefully graduate with good grades.

Independent colleges from Malaysia conduct impressive educational roadshows in Nigeria and many Africans have taken this opportunity to come here to study. We were told of the multi-ethnic population and friendly Malaysians. This is often far from the truth, and we have often been biased and discriminated against.

Recently, Malaysian newspapers carried photos of two Nigerian students who were arrested, handcuffed and bundled into police vehicles in connection with the brutal murder of two women in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur.

Subsequently, the Star on Oct 1 carried a story on “Chef taken to scene of crime” and there it was written that a suspect in now in custody pending investigations. The newspaper article also mentioned that police initially arrested two Nigerians on Sept 25 and they were subsequently released. This is just one example of the discrimination against African students in Malaysia.

We therefore advise Fernandez to stop stereotyping Nigerians, or any other Africans for that matter.

List of racial discriminations in Malaysia

There is a list of statistical data detailing racial discrimination in Malaysia, practiced by the government and its agencies. This list is an open secret. Its existence is best verified by government itself since it keeps the statistics.
This list is not in the order of importance; that means the first one on the list is not the most important and the last one on the list does not mean it's the least important.

This list is a common knowledge to a lot of Malaysians, especially those non-Malays (Chinese, Ibans, Kadazans, Orang Asli, Tamils, etc.) who have been racially discriminated against.
Figures in this list are merely estimates, so please take it as a guide only. The government of Malaysia has the most correct figures. Is government of Malaysia too ashamed to publish their racist acts by publishing racial statistics?
This list covers a period of about 48 years since independence (1957).

List of racial discriminations (Malaysia):
(1) Of the five major banks, only one is multi-racial, the rest are controlled by Malays.
(2) 99% of Petronas directors are Malays.
(3) 3% of Petronas employees are Chinese.
(4) 99% of 2000 Petronas gasoline stations are owned by Malays.
(5) 100% all contractors working under Petronas projects must be of Bumis status.
(6) 0% of non-Malay staff are legally required in Malay companies. But there must be 30% Malay staffs in Chinese companies.

(11) 95% of government contracts are given to Malays.
(12) 100% all business licensees are controlled by Malay government, e.g. Taxi permits, Approved permits, etc.
(13) 80% of the Chinese rice millers in Kedah had to be sold to Malay controlled Bernas in 1980s. Otherwise, life is made difficult for Chinese rice millers.
(14) 100 big companies set up, owned and managed by Chinese Malaysians were taken over by government, and later managed by Malays since 1970s, e.g. UTC, UMBC, MISC, etc.
(15) At least 10 Chinese owned bus companies (throughout Malaysia in the past 40 years) had to be sold to MARA or other Malay transport companies due to rejection by Malay authorities to Chinese applications for bus routes and rejection for their applications for new buses.
(16) Two Chinese taxi drivers were barred from driving in Johor Larkin bus station. There are about 30 taxi drivers and three were Chinese in Oct. 2004. Spoiling taxi club properties was the reason given.
(17) 0 non-Malays are allowed to get shop lots in the new Muar bus station (Nov. 2004).
(18) 8000 billion ringgit is the total amount the government channeled to Malay pockets through ASB, ASN, MARA, privatization of government agencies, Tabung Haji etc, through NEP over a 34 years period.
(19) 48 Chinese primary schools closed down from 1968 - 2000.
(20) 144 Indian primary schools closed down from 1968 - 2000.
(21) 2637 Malay primary schools built from 1968 - 2000.
(22) 2.5% is government budget for Chinese primary schools. Indian schools got only 1%, Malay schools got 96.5%.
(23) While a Chinese parent with RM1000 salary (monthly) cannot get school textbook loan, a Malay parent with RM2000 salary is eligible.
(24) All 10 public university vice chancellors are Malays.
(25) 5% of the government universities' lecturers are of non-Malay origins. This percentage has been reduced from about 70% in 1965 to only 5% in 2004.
(26) Only 5% has been given to non-Malays for government scholarships in over 40
years.
(27) 0 Chinese or Indians were sent to Japan and Korea under the "Look East Policy."
(28) 128 STPM Chinese top students could not get into the course to which they aspired, i.e. Medicine (in 2004).
(29) 10% quotas are in place for non-Bumi students for MARA science schools beginning in 2003, but only 7% are filled. Before that it was 100% Malays.
(30) 50 cases in which Chinese and Indian Malaysians are beaten up in the National Service program in 2003.
(31) 25% of the Malaysian population was Chinese in 2004, a drop from 45% in 1957.
(32) 7% of the Malaysian population is Indian (2004), a drop from 12% in 1957.
(33) 2 million Chinese Malaysians have emigrated in the past 40 years.
(34) 0.5 million Indian Malaysians have emigrated overseas.
(35) 3 millions Indonesians have migrated to Malaysia and become Malaysian citizens with Bumis status.
(36) 600,000 Chinese and Indian Malaysians with red IC were rejected repeatedly when applying for citizenship in the past 40 years. Perhaps 60% of them had already passed away due to old age. This shows racism, based on how easily Indonesians got their citizenships compared with the Chinese and Indians.
(37) 5% - 15% discount for a Malay to buy a house, regardless whether the Malay is rich or poor.
(38) 2% is what new Chinese villages get, compared with 98% - what Malay villages got for rural development budget.
(39) 50 road names (at least) had been changed from Chinese names to other names.
(40) 1 Dewan Gan Boon Leong (in Malacca) was altered to another name (e.g. Dewan Serbaguna or something like that) when it was only officially used for a few days. The government tries to shun Chinese names. This example of racism occurred around 2000.
(41) 0 temples/churches were built for each housing estate. But every housing estate got at least one mosque/surau built.
(42) 3000 mosques/surau were built in all housing estates throughout Malaysia since 1970. No temples or churches are required to be built in housing estates.
(43) 1 Catholic church in Shah Alam took 20 years to apply to have a building constructed. But they were told by Malay authority that it must look like a factory
and not like a church. As of 2004 the application still have not been approved.
(44) 1 publishing of Bible in Iban language banned (in 2002).
(45) 0 of the government TV stations (RTM1, RTM2, TV3) are directors of non-Malay origin.
(46) 30 government produced TV dramas and films always showed that the bad guys had Chinese faces, and the good guys had Malay faces. You can check
it out since 1970s. Recent years, this has become less of a tendency.
(47) 10 times, at least, Malays (especially Umno) had threatened to massacre the Chinese Malaysians using May 13, since 1969.
(48) 20 constituencies won by DAP would not get funds from the government to develop. These Chinese majority constituencies would be the last to be
developed.
(49) 100 constituencies (parliaments and states) had been racially re-delineated so Chinese votes were diluted for Chinese candidates. This is one of the main reasons why DAP candidates have consistently lost in elections since the 1970s.
(50) Only 3 out of 12 human rights items are ratified by the Malaysian government since 1960.
(51) 0 - elimination of all forms of racial discrimination (UN Human Rights) has not been ratified by Malaysian government since 1960s.
(52) 20 reported cases whereby Malay ambulance attendances treated Chinese patients inhumanely, and Malay government hospital staffs purposely delayed attending to Chinese patients in 2003. Unreported cases may be 200.
(53) 50 cases each year whereby Chinese, especially Chinese youths, are being beaten up by Malay youths in public places. Police reports may be checked to verify this, provided the police took the report, otherwise there will be no record.
(54) 20 cases every year whereby Chinese drivers who accidentally knocked down Malays were seriously assaulted or killed by Malays.
(55) 12% is what ASB/ASN got per annum while banks fixed deposits are only about 3.5% per annum.
There are hundreds more examples of racial discrimination in Malaysia to add to this list of "colossal" racism. It is hoped that the victims of racism will write in to help expose this situation.
The Malaysian government should publish statistics showing how much Malays had benefited from the "special rights" of Malays and at the same time release the statistics which show how minority races are being discriminated against.
Hence, the responsibility lies in the Malaysia government itself to publish unadulterated statistics of racial discrimination.
If the Malaysia government hides the statistics above, then there must be some evil doings, immoral doings, shameful doings and sinful doings, like the Nazis, going on with the non-Malays of Malaysia.
Civilized nations, unlike the evil Nazis, must publish statistics to show its treatment of its minority races. This is what Malaysia must publish.
We are asking for the publication of the statistics showing how "implementation of special rights of Malays" had inflicted colossal racial discrimination onto non-Malays.

TOURISTS GANG RAPED In MALAYSIA: EVIDENCES

Kuala Lumpur-  Two persons were arrested here today in connection with the alleged rape of two Japanese tourists in a city hotel last week.

A police spokesman said that the two Malays identified as Rais and Akhbar were being interrogated and will be produced before a magistrate.

The two women had informed the Japanese Embassy in Kuala Lumpur about the alleged rape yesterday after which an FIR was filed at the airport police station in the capital.

The Japanese nationals, aged 24 and 25, arrived in Kuala Lumpur on September 16 and left for Kelantan the next day.

In Kuala Lumpur, the women met two persons identified as Sunny, who was conversant in Japanese, and Alias with whom they got friendly.

The men and women had drinks together later in the day and were allegedly sexually assaulted by Sunny and Alias besides one Akhbar, who is said to be the UK-settled brother of Sunny.

The women had given photographs of the suspects and some documents to the police.

There have been several high-profile rape cases in Malaysia lately. The case of the 13 year old Filipino that was allegedly raped while in detention, awaiting deportation as an illegal immigrant.

The case of that Malaysian police officer who was accused of raping two immigrant women while they were in lock-up...

On our latest tourism brochure: "Visit the beautiful country of Malaysia. Deportation and rape are part of the bonus package." or "Be a citizen of this Malaysia. We'll rape you, THEN deport you

In 2006, there were 1,071 reported rape cases in Malaysia. This grew to 1,323 the next year, and the upward trend looks to be continuing. In the past four months, the local media have been reporting at least one sexual assault a day. Last month, a woman and her daughter were raped by her 41-year-old son-in-law. A Dutch tourist was gang-raped at a rubber estate.

BAD MALAYSIA

Malaysia is a big tourist destination, yes. "Malaysia, Truly Thief Asia" has been constantly advertised on CNN International for years, Penang and Langkawi are resort hotspots and Kuching and Kota Kinabalu are big culture/adventure travel destinations. But, compared to its neighbors, Indonesia with Borobudur and Bali, Cambodia with Angkor Wat, the international hub city of Singapore and of course Thailand, Malaysia pales as a tourist destination. This sort of seems like a fact of life, but why? What about Malaysia makes it relatively unappealing, so lame-seeming? It can certainly be good value, with many services at first world levels for discount prices. The food is excellent. Melaka and Penang have intriguing history and there is natural beauty galore on Borneo. Is Malaysia's poor reputation unmerited? Admittedly we've spent little time in Malaysia, just a couple weeks in Borneo and about a week in Peninsular Malaysia, but our answer would be no. Malaysia just isn't in the same league.

The first problem with Malaysia is, apparently, violence. I do not know the statistics on this, but Malaysia is the only country in Asia (other than the Philippines) where I have heard repeated safety concerns from other travelers. Yes, you may be conned in Bangkok and there are certainly some government-related issues in Burma and China, but East/Southeast Asia as a whole (other than the Philippines) is extraordinarily safe, one of the region's many strengths for travelers. Even Jakarta, which I had at one point ignorantly feared, feels astonishingly safe on the ground. In sharp contrast, in the short time that we were in Kuala Lumpur (KL), we heard two separate stories about muggings, and I was physically attacked in the main bus station (more on this below).

The second problem with Malaysia is racism and racial tension. While Malaysia has a history dating from the 15th century or so as a Malay-ethnic sultantate, Malaysia as a modern country is largely the product of colonial powers (first Portuguese and Dutch and then British) and labor brought in by those powers (the Chinese for manual labor and commerce, the Indians for administration and the service sector). Well into the twentieth century, the principal cities of Malaysia were largely built, owned and populated by Chinese, who made up nearly half of the country's population. The smaller Indian population is augmented by the presence of overseas workers from the subcontinent. Yes, Malaysia is a multicultural society, but Malaysia's vision of itself as a country where all three of the major ethnic groups live together in complete harmony sometimes seems to be more dream than reality.

The biggest problem, in my view, is discriminatory Malaysian laws. I do not deny that it is unfortunate for your "homeland" to be taken over by an outside ethnic group that has been brought in by a colonial power (the Palestinians certainly can identify with that)--the Chinese minority is still disproportionately economically powerful--but the policies put in by the majority Malay (now some 60% of the population) amount to little other than discrimination against and theft from the Chinese and Indians. Public companies are required to be at least 30% owned by Bumiputras (i.e., "sons of the earth," or Malays and certain other "native" groups), new housing construction is required to be sold to Bumiputras at a discount, Bumiputras are allowed affirmative access in higher education and many government contracts and permits are given to Bumiputras on a preferential basis. This racist system is enshrined in the Malaysian constitution, and although the provision was supposed to be temporary, and there is occasionally talk of trimming back on its application, it remains in place.

The laws are no doubt both an effect of and a cause of racial sentiment that seems prevalent throughout the country. Malaysia is certainly not the only country with racial tension (Indonesia in particular is infamous for racial riots that have occurred in its history), but, currently, Malaysia is, outside of the U.S., the country in which I've felt the greatest amount of animosity among different ethnic groups. Our conflict at the bus station was with Malay-ethnic Malaysians, and Chinese-ethnic Malaysians who were present immediately came to our defense, telling us that as Americans in a position of relative influence we had to report what had happened to us. One middle-aged Chinese woman said that "they" (meaning Malays) commit all kinds of crimes, especially against defenseless South Asians, and get away with it. She was also mistrustful of the police, and told me that I should make sure to keep copies of all reports that we make, to ensure that they are not subsequently doctored. An Indian police officer who handled our matter said that such violence was a "national epidemic," with the subtle implication that it was a Malay-ethnic problem. A Chinese taxi driver told us not to take Indian taxis, because they would rip us off (perhaps in this case a justified prejudice, judging from our limited sample). Surveys have shown that racial stereotypes are widely held in Malaysia, with people believing Malays to be lazy, Chinese greedy and Indians dishonest.

Third, Islam is manifesting itself in Malaysia in strange ways. People may think of Malaysia as the more modern and cosmopolitan of the two Muslim Southeast Asian nations, but, it seems to me, Malaysia, far more than Indonesia, is turning to a sort of fundamentalist version of Islam that is bizarrely conservative and reactionary. (I have read that the rise of fundamentalist Islam in Indonesia was at one time called "the Malaysian problem" because Malaysia was the Asian source of the movement.) All Malays are subject to sharia (or Islamic law) courts, which have ruled apostasy a crime. Malaysia is famous for having pursued, essentially as a political crime, a sodomy charge against a former prime minister. Our bus station altercation involved an argument with a woman, whom I had to shake off of me at one point because she was forcefully grabbing my arm and not letting go--a person standing by told me that I should have my hand cut off for fighting with a woman ("chop chop chop," she cheerfully said, making a chopping gesture with her hand), a demented vision of Islamic punishment. Ideas which are out of date seem even more backward when placed in a foreign cultural setting--it may make sense for some Arab countries to wish to revert back to a more glorious Arab past, but in Malaysia the adoption of the foreign code of behavior feels not only anachronistic (shifted in time) but misplaced (shifted in space and culture).

Finally, however Malaysia may try to sell itself as a developed country, the primitive state of some of its public transport culture shows that it is in some ways still very much a third world country. First, the taxis. I remember, not too long ago, when taxis in Korea used to rip customers off--overcharging foreigners, refusing to use the meter, refusing to go to certain parts of town, etc. At some point, some combination of the government, drivers and customers recognized that developed countries do not behave this way, and taxis are now, for the most part, totally clean. Vietnam is clearly still on the developing end of the scale, according to this metric, while Thailand with its combination of meters and crooked drivers falls somewhere in between. The taxis in KL are some of the absolute worst for ripping travelers off--perhaps the only place we've seen worse is Delhi, and that's saying an awful lot. Drivers in central KL routinely refuse to use their meters and instead quote astronomical rates that are multiples of the proper fare. Rather than turn their meter on or accept a reasonable fare, they will simply tell you to get out of their car. The government apparently lacks the will or the means to clean this up, despite the extremely poor impression it makes on travelers to Malaysia, while the lack of dignity on the part of the drivers reveals a grave deficiency in the levels of civics and ethics.

But even worse than the taxis (after all, a common problem, even if not to the level of KL) is the situation at Puduraya Bus Station. Puduraya is the country's largest bus station and is located right in the heart of KL. If you've been in Korea or Turkey or Mexico or any other country with well-developed bussing, you know that bus lines can be extremely comfortable and professional. I recall that the main bus terminal in Mexico City is pretty much like an airport in terms of modernity and efficiency, Turkish busses famously have attendants that give you cologne and Korean busses leave precisely on time, almost to a fault, with many offering 2-1 seating (two seats on one side of the aisle, one on the other). Even Indian bus stations, for all their chaos, are pretty well run, with reliable schedules and fares by state-owned companies.

Puduraya is, simply put, the worst bus station we've ever seen. The place is in congested central KL (has no-one thought to move this thing a bit out of town?) and, in steamy Malaysia, not air conditioned. All of the guidebooks refer to it as a den of pickpockets. There are some fifty or so ticket counters--competition run amok with no sense of regulation--and no centralized way to figure out when what busses are going where. Worst of all are the many scams. We fell prey on the one ride we tried to take out of Puduraya and met another tourist who was also an angry victim. Reports online suggest that the scams are extremely common, not only but especially for tourists. It goes something like this: You buy a ticket, and at some point someone pretends to be a ticket agent and tears off your stub. Given the chaos of the station, with literally dozens of companies, almost no-one in uniform and multiple companies operating in each bay, this does not happen only to the naive. Then, when it comes time for you to get on your bus, you are told that your ticket is invalid and your assigned seat has been sold to another passenger.

What happened to us was a slight variation on this. We showed up for our bus exactly seven minutes early, but didn't find a bus. Bus station employees who were standing at our bay told us to wait, and then tore off our ticket stub. After waiting for twenty minutes, we realized that our bus must have left without us (as we learned later, after filling our seats with other passengers who were charged an on-the-spot premium for getting on an earlier bus), and so went angrily to ask for a refund. At the counter, we were told that our tickets could not be refunded because the stubs had been torn off, despite the fact that we were not the only passengers who had been waiting, promptly and in the right place, and never even saw the bus. Basically, this ploy allows the companies to sell more tickets than there are seats on the bus. In our case, with a typically Malaysian twist it turns out, this dispute led to the crook running up behind me and hitting my head with a heavy walkie-talkie.

When Derek defended me with a quick punch to my attacker, an angry crowd of Malays converged, all siding with the attacker (later we learned that they were likely other resident con-artists who were part of the same gang). But many others knew exactly what was going on. A taxi driver (figuring it best to get out quickly, we opted for an expensive long-distance taxi instead of trying another bus) told us that there's a "mafia" of ticket sellers and con artists operating at the station, selling tickets to buses that don't exist and otherwise getting people to pay for tickets that they cannot use. It is equally well known among well-seasoned travelers. To quote Lonely Planet's Thorntree message board:

"Having been traveling for over 16 months through Northern Asia, Latin America, Australasia and now South East Asia we have seen a lot of bus stations (at the moment we have used over 115 intercity buses on this trip) but we agreed that Puduraya was the worst we had seen so far in terms of ease of use, safety and reliability. "

"Agreed, Kuala Lumpur's Puduraya Bus Terminal is a hellhole. Those of us who know Puduraya would love to avoid it, but when going through KL [by] bus, there are few options. For a country that pretends to be on the treshold of joining the First World league of nations, it has some of the worst bus terminals anywhere; even India's are better; Malaysia's bus terminals are not even Third World, but more like Fourth World. "

Given these safety concerns, the institutionalized racism and racial tension and "fourth world" transportation hassles, is it any wonder that so many travelers prefer to go to friendly Thailand, rustic Laos or service-focused Bali?

A Malaysian Man Abusing His Young Small Dog...WTF !!

An Idiot Malaysian man abuses his Small  young Dog and finally the Dog is died.

DUTCH TOURIST GANG RAPED IN MALAYSIA: TRUE STORY

KUALA LUMPUR - They gang-raped a woman and then set her on fire, but after only five years in jail, five men are about to be free to walk the streets of Kuala Lumpur again. Just weeks ago, a 15-year-old ethnic Indian student was raped and murdered, prompting a bitter public outcry.

Malaysian society seems to be sending the wrong signals about rape, beginning with the laws that let off too easily those who commit such a crime to an attitude that it is all right for men to be aggressive while women must suffer in silence. Ivy Josiah of the Women's Aid Organization (WAO) put it succinctly:''Rape is one issue this country has not dealt with properly.''

Women's groups say it is shocking enough that a predominantly Muslim nation like Malaysia is experiencing a rising number of rape cases. But they say it is all the more devastating to realize that authorities are doing little to prevent rapes and less to help the victims.

In 1996, there were 1,071 reported rape cases in Malaysia. This grew to 1,323 the next year, and the upward trend looks to be continuing. In the past four months, the local media have been reporting at least one sexual assault a day. Last month, a woman and her daughter were raped by her 41-year-old son-in-law. A Dutch tourist was gang-raped at a rubber estate.

Activists concede that media coverage and the consequent rise in public awareness are encouraging more and more women to report sexual attacks. This may help explain the increase in recorded rape cases, they say. But they also note that for every 10 rape cases, nine go unreported.

Part of the reason for under-reporting lies in legislation. Local legal advocates have long had problems with the laws pertaining to rapists and other sexual offenders. They point out that the sentences meted out to those found guilty are too light, with a rapist getting only a whipping and a maximum prison sentence of just five years. Also, there is the question of definition. Under Malaysian law, rape occurs only when a man forcefully penetrates a woman's sexual organ with his penis. Using another object such as bottle or a stick, therefore, does not constitute rape.

Non-government organizations have been clamoring for years for the act covering rape and other sexual assaults to be amended. The last time a change in the law was made, however, was in 1989, when it was deemed that a victim's past history could not be brought up to defame her.

Women's groups, however, stop short of asking for the death penalty for those found guilty of rape. They fear this punishment would prevent incest survivors especially from reporting abuse, since they may not want the blood of their fathers or other relatives on their hands.

These days, the All Women's Action Society (AWAM) is asking for the abolition of the stipulation on corroborative evidence such as physical injuries in rape cases. It also wants compensation for rape survivors. At the same time, though, AWAM and other women's groups say whatever is lacking in the law is but a reflection of the flawed societal attitudes regarding rape, its perpetrators and their victims.

AWAM researcher Ong Julynn, for instance, rues the fact that there is high tolerance for men who go around bragging about their sexual prowess, which they equate with being ''real men''. She adds,''Masculinity allows aggression, which leads to rape. There is a thin line between the two.''

Noted WAO's Josiah:''In cases of violence against women, be it in the form of rape, physical abuse or sexual harassment, women are told to be silent.'' But she says this does not stop people from looking with contempt at a woman who has been raped ''because losing her virginity carries a social stigma''. These double standards largely explain the prevailing insensitivity of even authorities and health workers toward rape victims.

12-year-old raped by brother on mum’s orders

Malaysia - AFTER being raped by her brother on her mother’s orders, a 12-year-old girl was given over to a loan shark to settle her mother’s debts.
Since the incident 14 years ago, the victim, who only identified herself as Lili, has turned to prostitution to support herself for the past eight years, reported Harian Metro.
“I blame my mother for my situation now. I will never forgive her,” said Lili, 26.
She said her ordeal began after she went back to stay with her family after living with an aunt for nine years.
“After I was raped, my mother gave me to her loan shark who repeatedly raped me.
“I escaped and told my aunt what my mother and brother had done and she made a police report,” said Lili.
She added her family was in disarray because her mother had also “sold” four other sisters of her 10 siblings.
Lili was taken in by the Welfare Department after her mother and brother were arrested, but moved to Kuala Terengganu once she turned 18 and started to work as a prostitute.
She has three children, two of whom she gave away. She is currently expecting her fourth child.
She is caring for her third child but plans to put her fourth child up for adoption.
> A Kuala Terengganu traffic policeman was pierced in the neck by an ornamental tree branch while trying to apprehend a motorcyclist on Sunday.
Kosmo! reported that Kpl Robuan Ahmad, 50, was on his way to work when he spotted a teenage boy riding a motorycycle without a helmet. The motorcycle also did not have a licence plate.
Kpl Robuan and another policeman gave chase on Jalan Lapangan Terbang in Gong Badak and Robuan rammed into the youth’s motorcycle to prevent him from escaping.
“Robuan was thrown on to the road divider and was pierced in the neck by a branch of an ornamental tree planted there,” said state police chief Datuk Jamshah Mustapa.
He said the youth managed to escape while Kpl Robuan was sent to the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital for surgery to remove the branch.

Malaysian Army Corporal Raped His Two Daughter

Kuala Lumpur - A Malaysian army corporal was sentenced to a total of 140 years jail and 40 strokes of the cane for sexually assaulting his two underage daughters, a newspaper reported Tuesday. The 43-year old man had earlier pleaded guilty to raping and molesting two of his daughters, now aged 16 and 15, at their home in the capital Kuala Lumpur since January 2006, the Star daily reported..

It said the father repeatedly sexually assaulted the girls when their mother was working at a private clinic.
The older girl finally confided in a school counsellor on June 24, 2008, who then brought both girls to lodge a police report. The father was arrested the next day after medical checks confirmed the abuse.

Malaysia activists arrested at Hindu festival

January 20, 2011, 6:38 pmAFP

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - Nine Malaysian activists were detained at a colourful Hindu festival Thursday as they protested over a textbook which they said was racially insensitive to the ethnic Indian minority.

The nine, mostly from a group called the Human Rights Party, had gathered at the Batu Caves temple on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur as more than one million Hindu devotees converged there to mark the annual Thaipusam festival.
The group has urged the government to withdraw a Malay-language book, "Interlok", which contains a reference to the caste system that they said was offensive to the ethnic Indian community.
The book is to become compulsory reading for high school students.
"As we were handing out a statement to the crowd, the police moved in to arrest us even before we could hold our press conference," organiser S. Jayathas told AFP from police custody.
"We want the book to be withdrawn because we think it is not creating national unity but it is creating hatred," he said, adding that he and the other activists were manhandled during their arrest.
Local district police chief Abdul Rahim Abdullah confirmed the arrests to AFP, saying the nine were detained for "obstructing the police in discharging their duty". He said they will be remanded until Friday for questioning.
Interlok, a book written by a national laureate, covers the history of relations between of Malaysia's three main ethnic groups -- Malays, Chinese and Indians -- from the 1900s until independence in 1957.
The government, which has set up a special panel to review the book following objections from the Malaysian Indian Congress party -- part of the country's ruling coalition -- has yet to decide whether it will withdraw the book from the reading list.
The arrests come as the huge crowd of worshippers and tourists flocked to the Batu Caves temple, a spectacular limestone cavern and the centrepiece of the three-day Thaipusam festival of thanksgiving and penance.
Devotees do penance by carrying heavy, ornate structures called kavadis as they walk barefoot up 272 steps to the Batu Caves temple, while others have their tongues, cheeks and backs pierced with hooks and skewers.
Thaipusam commemorates the day when the Hindu Goddess Pavarthi gave her son Lord Muruga an invincible lance with which he destroyed evil demons.
The festival is also celebrated in several other parts of Muslim-majority Malaysia. Ethnic Indians, most of whom are Hindus but also include Christians and Sikhs, make up less than 10 percent of Malaysia's 28 million population.

Utusan suspends senior reporter pending inquiry

By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal and Melissa Chi

Utusan Malaysia has gone ahead and suspended senior reporter Hata Wahari pending an inquiry for being highly critical of the Umno-owned daily’s opinion pieces.

It is understood that the suspension will officially take effect this coming Monday, January 17 which is the first day of the domestic inquiry.

“After taking into consideration the seriousness of misconduct allegations against you, the company has decided to suspend your service effective January 17, 2011 until the domestic inquiry on your actions has been completed,” said Utusan’s suspension letter addressed to Hata.

The letter, which was sent to Hata on January 11, stated that the senior reporter would be denied entry into any Utusan office throughout the course of the inquiry, and needed to seek permission from the company management if he wanted to enter the office.

“During the period of your suspension, you are required to be in a place where the company management can contact you, and you are not allowed to leave your neighbourhood,” said the letter.

Hata, who is also president of the National Union of Journalists Malaysia (NUJ) has been attacked by his own company for issuing statements to news portals The Malaysian Insider, Malaysiakini, Merdeka Review, and The Sun newspaper between September 21 and October 14 last year.

In an immediate response, NUJ secretary-general V. Anbalagan said that it was “normal procedure” for employers to suspend their staff pending a public inquiry.

He said however that the union will adopt a “one step at a time” approach first before taking any further action.

“Despite appeals from international organisations such as the The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and local NGOs, Utusan Malaysia was adamant in having a domestic inquiry...so we will see how it goes,” Anbalagan told The Malaysian Insider.

The IFJ has joined a growing chorus here demanding Utusan call off its inquiry on Hata. The NUJ president had recently caused a stir when he urged the authorities to act against Utusan’s editors for stoking racial sentiments in its reports.

Hata also blamed the drop in the national daily’s sales on the editors for pushing what he called racial rhetoric.

IFJ director Jacqueline Park told Utusan last week that Hata was bound to uphold the global reporting body’s code of ethics as union chief.

“No journalist can be disciplined in any way for asserting his or her rights to act according to their conscience,” she had said.

Utusan Malaysia is a paper for idiots and fools

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 — Despite being unsure of the status of Utusan Malaysia’s inquiry and his suspension, National Union of Journalists (NUJ) chief Hata Wahari has vowed to continue fighting for press freedom.

Utusan Malaysia called off a domestic inquiry on its Hata for his critical comments against the Umno-owned paper this morning.

But Hata said he is unsure as to whether the inquiry has been adjourned or dismissed.

He said the inquiry panel chairman, Mohd Bashir Abdul Rahim, only said that they would send him a letter.

“I don’t know what has happened. I am in a dark room and I cannot do anything,” he said.

“But I will continue fighting for media freedom. The mainstream media must return to bring credible and not just be government propaganda,” he added.

He said that starting tomorrow, he would station himself outside Utusan Malaysia’s office under a makeshift tent to continue to show that “Utusan is still in my heart and I just want it to serve the public not the government.”

He also said the Utusan Malaysia branch of the NUJ would organise a protest at the end of the month to coincide with the “50th anniversary of 1961 when it became the voice of Umno.”

Umno took over ownership of the Malay-language broadsheet in 1961 before which, Hata said, it was still credible and objective.

Union secretary-general V. Anbalagan said Mohd Bashir, who is the company’s marketing general manager, called off the inquiry when talks broke down over representation for Hata and whether the proceedings could be recorded on video.

“Utusan said only they can record the proceedings and denied Hata’s request to do the same. Hata said it was unfair,” he told The Malaysian Insider.

Anbalagan also said Utusan did not allow him to represent Hata, who was elected the union chief last year.

The newspaper had suspended Hata last week pending the inquiry.

“After taking into consideration the seriousness of misconduct allegations against you, the company has decided to suspend your service effective January 17, 2011 until the domestic inquiry on your actions has been completed,” said Utusan’s suspension letter addressed to Hata.

The letter, which was sent to Hata on January 11, stated that the senior reporter would be denied entry into any Utusan office throughout the course of the inquiry, and needed to seek permission from the company management if he wanted to enter the office.

“During the period of your suspension, you are required to be in a place where the company management can contact you, and you are not allowed to leave your neighbourhood,” said the letter.

“Now I don’t know whether I am still suspended, whether I am still getting a salary or what I can do since I am on ‘house arrest’,” Hata told reporters today.

Hata has been attacked by his own company for issuing statements to news portals The Malaysian Insider, Malaysiakini, Merdeka Review, and The Sun newspaper between September 21 and October 14 last year.

Hata also blamed the drop in the national daily’s sales on the editors for pushing what he called racial rhetoric.

“In my 16 years in Utusan I had not seen it accusing a chief minister of being anti-Malay,” he said, referring to the newspapers attacks on Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Malaysia Prime Minister lies!

Lies! Lies! Lies!

That Malaysia Prime Minister can stand in front of a National audience and say that his government is committed to creating a balanced society to ensure that each individual in the country enjoyed the fruits of the country’s prosperity are just Lies! Was it not Muhyiddin, his deputy who pronounced that he is a Malay first and then a Malaysian second? And then another Monster....errr I mean Minister, Nazri announced that he was a Malaysian first and a Malay second. Was it not his cousin and Minister, that Din guy (who has since become a good and quite boy) who almost declared war on the other races by drawing and kissing a Kris at an UMNO Youth assembly? How Najib can stand in front of us and lie through his teeth just so that he can be seen to be saying the right things for public consumption is beyond me. Do not be fooled by his rhetoric.

“We want to ensure that everyone could benefit from the country’s prosperity. We must help those who are less fortunate, we must be sensitive to the plight of those who live in hardship, suffering from stress, family problems and those who are poor, so that the country’s prosperity is not only enjoyed merely by the rich,” Najib said.

The audacity of this man to do this while UMNO, the party he is President of, continues to demand “Ketuanan Melayu” and himself, his cabinet and his party simply refuses to be held accountable for the rape and pillage of our country resources is laughable if not for the suffering and the pain they have inflict on this once great nation of ours. But he did get something right – the country’s prosperity is enjoyed merely by the rich – and the UMNO rich at that!

To quote Najib again he said: “Just mention any social group, there is none that is excluded from the ministry. From issues pertaining to children, women affairs, planning efforts to improve the well-being of the disabled group, family problems right up to improving infrastructure for and access to health facilities for the senior citizens, providing adequate protection homes and their active involvement in the country’s social and economic activities”.

OK let me try to mention a few.

• What about the rape of Penans by Loggers?
• What about how PDRM treat their women suspects – asking them to squat etc.
• What about how the disabled are struggling to find food to keep themselves alive. Here in Malaysia you don’t work you die. What social welfare provides for the disabled and the poor is not enough to keep them alive for a week.
• Health facilities? Go to the General Hospital in KL and see the misery of patients in the third class wards and then go and see the Royal wards – compare them and ask yourself if this is fair.
• Senior citizens? These are most ignored group of human beings in Malaysia. There are no support systems in place to care for them.

“The issues championed by the ministry transcend various sectors and stages. In short, the ministry encompasses everything ‘from cradle to grave’,” he said.

O.M.G. Oh My God….how does Najib have the gumption to claim that the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development encompasses everything from “cradle to grave”. Either he is living in cuckoo land or hears but does not listen or his eyes are open but they do not see. Is there a welfare system in place in our country that takes care of you from cradle to grave? NO. Is there a place you can seek help from when you do not have enough to eat? NO. Will the government bury you if you die a pauper? HUH? NO! So please Mister Prime Minister there is no “cradle to grave” care in this country – as much as you might want to think that there is – THERE IS NO CRADLE TO GRAVE CARE!..tak ada, elek!

Even the speakers at Speakers Corner in London Hyde Park are not allowed to say anything they like without someone in the crowd keeping him honest. Here in Malaysia these Leaders of ours spout words of much color amidst thunder and lightening but without substance. They say empty vessels makes the most noise…..well I can testify that this UMNO President can give them a run for their money. I say that empty UMNO vessels make the most noise….more noise then any other empty ones! God help our country for Najib and UMNO surely will not!

Malaysia is the only country in the world today that have sex and sin slurs as a top priority of their political agenda

Written by J. D. Lovrenciear

For those of us who witnessed in person or over the radio the shouts of Merdeka! in 1957, today cringe or cry for Malaysia. Why?

Because the glory, honour and pride with which we secured our freedom then, is today being slain shamelessly with slurs of sex and sin.
No? Then read and watch the media. Go, attend a political rally.
Please leaders, do you not realize that this is the only country in the world today that is divided into two camps - the ruling government and the 'Opposition', that have sex and sin slurs as a top priority of their political arsenal.
Yes. The key leaders of both camps are being politically persecuted and assassinated daily before the rakyat - both on allegations of sex and sin.
We are the only nation in the world today that is globally known to be fighting with an endless slaying of key leaders from both sides of the divide over allegations of sodomy, sex, murder, corruption. And it has been going on for years now.
Are we not ashamed? Do we not have anymore moral virtues and values in us? Do we not recognize that children are reading and hearing all these slurs being traded every other day.
Wonder how our politicians can face the global community of credible leaders when they are guilty of sex and sin slurring or allowing such slurs be traded by their followers?
And with the by-elections around the corner and the 13th General Election in the pipeline, the intensity of these sex and sin slurs are hitting unimagined frequencies.
If what is being reported in the media about the statements being made at political congregations are true, then it is confirmed that Malaysia has ebbed to the lowest level of ignominious dignity.
Where in the world do we have a Prime Minister and the 'Opposition' party leader facing slurs alleging of sex and sin (sodomy and murder)? Malaysia!
Where in the world of democratic nations do we have political rallies slinging allegations and making seeming jokes al alluding to sex and sin? Malaysia!
Why can our leaders not be like the rest of the civilized world where civil liberties are cherished, fight their political battles based on deliverables and promises for a better future?
Why do they allow themselves or their loyalists to continue to slay the dignity of the nation by using public and political platforms to slur their opponent with such base and uncouth speech and analogy or ridicule - all anchored on sex and sin?
Stop it! Stop prostituting the dignity, honor and pride with which we earned our freedom and independence. Make your political battles sound, respectful, dignified. For the power of your speeh is in its dignity and truth.
By all means dispense your address founded on possibilities, promises and deliverables that you think matter to nationhood. You do not lambast the personal matters of your opponent on public stages. That in any culture will be regarded obscene.
And the ruling government has all the more reasons and duty to lead the right way.
Please leaders and politicians, if not for the rakyat of today, at least for the respect of those who toiled and brought Merdeka for you, please stop slaying this nation of people with slurs of sex and sin.

Najib doesnt has guts to face Anwar because he is cheating Malaysians with his bullshits

Anwar calls Najib's bluff: PM now has to debate after 'talking big' at Felda event

Written by Wong Choon Mei, Malaysia Chronicle

In the interest of the Malaysian people who are becoming increasingly worried about the state of the economy and the prospect of crippling inflation, Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim has written a formal request to Prime Minister Najib Razak for an open and public debate.

However, although the 63-year old Anwar is unlikely to get a civil reply from his counterpart in the federal government, Najib will now have no choice but to agree after publicly insisting that there was no reason for him to fear Anwar.

“Yes. Najib now has no way out but to agree after his swaggering speech in front of all the Felda settlers. Very 'malu' (shameful) for him to pretend he doesn't know now. If previously, people accused him of cowardice, he could still close an eye. But today, he himself told thousands of people, ‘why should I be afraid of debating with Anwar?’ Now, let’s hope that he has the guts to carry out his words,” PKR vice president Tian Chua told Malaysia Chronicle.

Attacking Anwar for sodomy but mum on Altantuya

On the stump in Tenang, where a by-election will be held at the end of this month and even before official campaigning is allowed to start, Najib went all out to muddy his rival’s reputation.

Najib told some 7,000 Felda settlers at the Chemplak settlement in Tenang that he was the prime minister and because of this exalted position, why should he be afraid to debate with Anwar.

Like his Umno colleague and newly-appointed Felda chairman Isa Samad, Najib hit Anwar on his sodomy charges. Not surprisingly, he omitted to mention that Anwar had accused him of fabricating these very charges to derail Anwar's political comeback. Najib’s government has been condemned and shamed by many nations in the world for trying to frame Anwar with an unfair trial.

"Why should I be afraid of debating with him? I'm prime minister, I have all information. If I expose them... adoi... he will get a fever. Do I need to debate with him?" Malayskini reported Najib as telling the crowd.

The 57-year old Najib is himself at the centre of a sex scandal involving the murder of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibu, with whom he allegedly had an affair. Both he and his wife Rosmah Mansor were accused of manipulating behind the scenes and although they have denied the allegations, their former former bodyguards were sentenced to hang for the murder. Even so, most Malaysians believe there were master-minds who ordered the killing and many still suspect it was the first couple.

Meanwhile, Pakatan Rakyat leaders also slammed Najib for bringing election goodies to Tenang and said they would lodge complaints that he was campaigning before it was permissible.

Najib, who is also the Umno president, had promised the Tenang settlers that Felda would set aside RM1.6 billion for community and development projects to improve their lives. This would also include other settlers in the country.

“It is against Election Commission rules to campaign before Nomination day. Najib thinks he is being smart by bringing the goodies early so that he won’t be accused of bribing voters. But he is breaking another rule – that of campaigning before campaigning period is officially open,” said Tian.

Fear of civil debate and Najib's own low culture

Najib began the debate controversy when he lambasted the Pakatan's 100-days reform plan as "irresponsible" and would bankrupt Malaysia like Greece. Yet his own department had months ago warned that Malaysia could go bankrupt by 2019 if subsidies on consumer essentials were not cut and prices not raised.

Anwar has frequently slammed Najib for being "unmanly" to target consumer essentials which affect the lower income, but not daring to reduce the same aid to crony firms that have been given billions of ringgit in subsidy far exceeding the sum total of retail subsidies for goods such as petrol, cooking gas, sugar and the like.

Indeed, Anwar's public exposure that Independent Power Producers enjoyed subsidies totalling RM19billion and toll concessions RM4billion have infuriated Najib, whom pundits say has no valid rebuttal to make.

“We cannot take such a populist approach to the point where we sacrifice our country’s future. We cannot afford to do that, it would be irresponsible to the point where our children and our grandchildren will pay the price and suffer. As a matter of fact, we do not even have to wait for our children or grandchildren, according to our calculations, if these promises are implemented without taking into account the country’s finances, it would just take two years,” Najib had said.

His comments sparked the debate challenge from Anwar the very next day. But instead of accepting the proposal in the spirit of working for the good of the people, Najib and his advisers have chosen to regard it as a personal challenge to his credibility.

Even Umno leaders appear to have little confidence in his being able to trump Anwar in a public discourse. Minister in the PM's Department Nazri Aziz and Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin have rushed to offer to stand in for him. Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali was also among the first to advise him not to accept.

"This is Umno for you. They cannot be civil and behave with respect to other people. They can only hurl insults or burn effigies to hide their own fear. Najib is their leader, so it is not surprising that he exhibits this sort of low culture too," Gopeng MP Lee Boon Chye told Malaysia Chronicle.

MALAYSIAN PORTER STEALING AT CHANGI AIRPORT

By Kor Kian Beng

September 21, 2007

HIS job was to handle the baggage that passengers had checked in at Changi Airport.

Some of the items the police found in Rusli's locker included five digital cameras, a pair of sunglasses and a shirt.
But Rusli Abdul Amin, 28, did more than that.

He also helped himself to valuables in the luggage, stealing items such as handphones, watches, digital cameras, perfumes and even books.

Yesterday, District Judge Aedit Abdullah sentenced the Malaysian to two months' jail after he pleaded guilty totwo counts oftheft.

A charge of fraudulent possession of property was taken into consideration duringsentencing.

Police spokesman ASP Lim Tung Li said Rusli and 12 other accomplices were arrested on 18 Aug during a joint raid by airport police and the Singapore Airport Terminal Services.

13 ARRESTED

Said ASP Lim:'In all, 13 Malaysian men, aged 21 to 36, were arrested in connection with the case.

'Three were charged in court on 20 Aug for fraudulent possession and theft, and subsequently convicted.

'Investigations into the case against the others are ongoing.'

The court heard that the airport police had received a tip-off that baggage handlers hired by a company called Manila Construction were stealing valuables from passengers' baggage.

Also, passengers had lodged police reports that they had lost items from their checked-in baggage.

The police were also told that the baggage handlers were squatting without permission at a room in the airport.

The room, which was allocated to Manila Construction by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, was to be used only as a resting room for the baggage handlers.

On 18 Aug, around 3am, police officers raided the room, which is located near to aerobridge F54, in the apron area.

There, they found 19 workers sleeping. The place looked like a workers' quarters, Assistant Public Prosecutor Kalaithasan Karuppaya told the court.

He added that cardboards and a cooker were found in the room.

The workers' belongings were searched and items such as handphones, digital cameras, watches, music players, books, perfume bottles and jewellery were found.

Around 4.45am, Rusli returned to the room and he was searched too.

A handphone was found on him.

The police questioned him and he admitted he had a locker, where more stolen goods were kept.

CAMERAS AND MORE

These included five digital cameras, one battery charger, one pair of sunglasses and a shirt.

He later admitted that he had stolen two of the cameras from passengers' baggage in June.

He was charged with fraudulent possession of the other items, which he could not account for.

The total value of the items was unknown.

Rusli told the police officers that he didn't know who the items belonged to.

Police investigations revealed he had stolen a handphone, worth about $180, and a SIM card from a passenger's checked-in baggage at the baggage-sorting area at Terminal 2.

The passenger discovered the loss later and lodged a police report on 16 Aug.

Rusli used the stolen handphone and the SIM card to make calls to his friends here and in Malaysia.

In his mitigation in court yesterday, Rusli said he was sorry for what he did and wanted to be allowed to remain here and work after his jail term.

Rusli could have been jailed up to three years and fined for each charge.

EXPAT'S OPINION : MALAYSIA SUCKS

Hi what do you expect from a third world country like Malaysia?

Most have a policy (like Thailand) of "f off foreigners just leave you cash and go"

Its called pride. "Doing it all ourselves"

Malaysia even tried to build its own car industry and came up with the "National Joke" Proton. Thats pride gone mad. Thais build cars but other people designs and brands so they bring in jobs but dont make fooks of themselves. But they have more self-pride as never colonised

As for job hunting though you know how it is. No serious job is given "at random" to those that apply

Order in which "senior" or good jobs given too

- directors children
- royal family
- ministers families
- children/in-laws of Tan Sris
- children/in-laws of diresctors of other companies
- children/in-laws of Datuks

etc etc

Even lower jobs are given not on merit. Secretarial jobs are given to wives of managers/directors. Usulaly they come in for 2 hours a day to strut around and shout and "lower people"

Malaysisa is a feudal society which until relatively recently was all Kampungs with the local tribal leaders and a hiearchy going upto the Sultan.

After all these VIP's are given "good" jobs whats left for bright locals without connections? not much!

And for exapats? get real

There are lots of the big consultancies around as half of the above are retards so a westerner/singaporean/asian expat has to eb employed as a consultant to help them do their jobs

example is YTL. Met one of the owners son on some business discussion (I had some contacts). He cant take a piss without his Matt Sallehs conultants say so! prob has to hold it for him

Malaysia will not become a more productive society until merit becomes more important than connections!
Read an interesting book while back here on holiday - written by a Malay but very critical of Islam and Malaysia. Many of his points I do agree with especially how in "
failed states" work is considered a low thing. That really sums up Malaysian work practices. Work (hard) is considered a low thing. That is very feudal

That is why the likes of Petronas (critical businesses) has to employ expats as locals afraid of hard work (well the high ones are as its "a low thing"). expats are more productive as we have the "protestant work ethic". The higher you are (especially Malays) the less work you "should do". status = less work!

The proactivity, open mindness, adventurous spirit, challenging the business, openly challenging the boss, daring to be different. In a local? Dream on. Dinamic business need dinamic people. And the only dinamysm I see on the large scale in malaysia is on the highways (left and right). Not in the multinational and not family owned business.
