Kenapa Pak Lah Tak Ziarah Pengkebumian Suharto?

Apabila membaca tulisan Bigdog bertajuk, "PM ‘Flip-Flop’ Abdullah tidak menghadiri pengkebumian Pak Harto", Husin berasa amat malu dan segan sekali kepada negara jiran dan rakyat Indonesia.

Secara tidak langsung, Husin pun ada akar umbi di sana. Siapa tidak? Orang Melayu semua adalah sebahagian satu bangsa dan satu gagasan Nusantara Melayu.

Indonesia adalah negara jiran kita yang terdekat dan apatah lagi kita serumpun. Mungkin Suharto bukan lagi President, dia juga bukan lagi berkuasa, namun dia masih diberi penghormatan rasmi oleh negaranya sendiri. Walaupun jika banyak kesalahannya sekali pun hingga tidak ada jasa langsung, siapakah PM kita untuk menghukumnya?

Majlis sebegini adalah peluang untuk mengambil hati dan mendekatkan balik perhubungan antara kita yang sudah renggang, akibat tidak tanduk pentadbir-pentadbir dan rakyat kita terhadap rakyat mereka yang berziarah dan mencari rezeki di sini.

Jasa Suharto banyak sekali kepada Malaysia.

Semasa Suharto menjadi Ketua Tentera Indonesia pada tahun 1970an, dia telah terlibat memberhentikan Konfrantasi dengan Malaysia. Bagi anak-anak yang tidak tahu, kita pernah perang dengan askar-askar Indonesia yang telah memasuki negara kerana menentang penubuhan Malaysia.

Demi keamanan serantau, Suharto terpaksa melakukan rampasan kuasa dengan menggulingkan Presidentnya sendiri yang begitu karismatik dan disayangi ramai, Sukarno. Pada masa itu, Sukarno amat dipengaruhi oleh Komunis.

Pah Harto dan Allahyarham Tun Abdul Razak adalah dua tokoh utama yang membuahkan ide Asean dan membawa konsep ZOPFAN (Zone of Prosperity Freedom and Neutrality) sebagai strategi menahan limpahan peperangan dingin Amerika-Rusia. Keamanan yang kita kecapi adalah hasil usahanya.

Ramai mungkin mahu hanya mahu menyalahkan Suharto kerana kezaliman dan pembunuhan ratusan ribu dan mungkin jutaan rakyatnya. Ramai juga menuduh beliau korup dan melibatkan kroni dan keluarganya. Namun, Husin kesal melihat Suharto jatuh dan negara menjadi tidak aman selepas IMF membawa pangaruhnya ke dalam Indonesia. Malaysia hampir jadi demikian.

Suatu yang harus kita fahami adalah semasa Sukarno memerintah, ramai rakyatnya melarat dan kebuluran. Suharto telah membawa pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Indonesia bukan suatu negara yang mudah untuk diurus. Ia mempunyai ratusan kumpulan etnik, ribuan pulau-pulau dan kawasan yang amat luas sekali mengharungi laut dan lautan. Sudah tentu ada pelbagai usaha pemberontakkan dan tindakan bersenjata dari puak-puak pemisah. Ingat lagikah Timor Timor?

Kadang-kadang cara diplomasi boleh membawa penyelesaian dan adakala perlu tindakan ketenteraan. Maka, sudah pastinya akan ada ketelanjuran dengan cara ketenteraan. Orang Indonesia memang terkenal sebagai orang-orang yang kuat, lasak dan berani.

Jika salah caranya sekalipun, semangat Asean adalah tidak mencampuri hal ehwal dalaman negara itu. Apabila itu polisi yang diambil, kuasa luar susah untuk masuk campur.

Sebagai Ketua Negara, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab Suharto untuk memastikan negaranya tidak berpecah dan sempadannya masih satu.

Husin Lempoyang amat kesal dan hairan mengapa PM Abdullah Badawi yang sudah pulang dari Davos malam semalam tidak pergi membuat lawatan hormat keesokkannya (semalam). Dilihat dalam TV, PM Singapura Brig. Gen. Lee Hsien Loong dan Sultan Brunei ada menghadhiri. Bukankah mereka juga baru balik dari Davos?

PM hanya melawat Kedutaan di sini dengan Menlu Dato Syed Hamid. Kenapa Syed Hamid tidak ke sana? Kenapa PM perlu menghantar wakil dan banyak pulak itu? Bukankah cukup setakat Dato Seri Najib seorang sudah cukup? Apa perlunya dihantar Musang Hitam, Zam dan seorang pegawai tinggi tentera?

Apa yang dibuat selama 9 tahun dari 1991-2000 menjadi Menteri Luar Negara? Tidak fahamkah perjalanan protokol? Atau tidor semasa taklimat?



Mungkin dia takut setelah merepek dan menjajar dalam Interview dengan CNN dari Davos.



Nak tahu apa merepeknya, dengar kata Encik Din Merican.



Tapi dia orang Keldaian ...sayang benar dengan Anwar Ibrahim Al Jub.

Mungkin bukan kerana temuramah ini. Banyak temuramah dia yang merepek. Ingat tak temuramah di TV3 tahun 2006. Anak saya tidak dapat kontrak kerajaan ... hahaha.

Namun, tanya lagi, kenapa dia tidak pergi ke majlis yang begitu penting ini. Apakah Majlis yang dia lebih suka? Majlis yang ada bintang Hollywood ke?


Atau keadaannya sudah desperado kata sifunya, lebih penting hadhir Majlis politik sebegini ...


Dia lebih selesa dalam negara, tidak perlu protokol yang ketat terutama Majlis seperti pengkebumian....


Tidak malukah seorang yang sudah tua berbuat perkara yang luar adab sopan Melayu? Kalau masa duda dia boleh raba bahu pelakun Hollywood, apa yang dia malu? Rasanya memang dia tidak malu pun? Sehari sebelum itu ...


Mengikut khabar yang boleh dipercayai, dalam satu Majlis di P&O Hotel, Penang, PM di beri kucupan di pipi oleh Datin Irene Yap. Datin ini kaum kerabat taukeh besar bekas Ban Hin Lee Bank. Kucupan terima kasih ke dan untuk apa? Mungkin ciuman di Majlis MIC untuk mengalih pandang. Sebahagian cerita boleh di baca dalam Rocky Bru di sini.

Kalau dalam gambar di aats, PM selalu berlakun malu dan segan. Alah malu konon! Tahun lepas, bini Menteri MCA mana dia raba-raba semasa Majlis perayaan Tahun Baru Cina?


Begitu lembut dan gebu ke sampai tidak boleh lepas-lepas tangan?


Berbalik kepada Majlis Pengkebumian Suharto, mungkin penganjur tidak sediakan cewek untuk dipegang dan cium dan dicium, dan tempat untuk lena tidor seperti di Malaysia ...

Inilah PM terpilih yang tidak tahu cara
Degil pulak, tidak mahu ditunjuk juga.
Kalau hanya nak buat hal dia,
Berhenti bicara terajang saja.

Tapi orang UMNO ada telo ke?
Semua membodek tidak kire
Husin tidak sanggup apa jua
Jangan sampai pembangkang yang berkuasa.

Melarat jauh cerita Husin
Dari Suharto hingga yang pelik fesyen.

Hanya yang baik Husin ingatkan
Semua ada manusia ada kekurangan.
Yang hidup ditegurkan.
Jika sedia, yang tiada diampun kesalahan.
Namu, rakyat Indonesia jua pilihan.

Al Fatihah buat Mantan President Indonesia Suharto.

Kenapa Mamak Zam Cak Kun Cak?

Bernama melaporkan Zam menafikan lagu M Nasir, Seloka Cak Kun Cak, yang mengandungi perkataan "BERSIH" diharamkan. Ia menjawab tuduhan Lim Kit Siang di Parlimen.

Masaalahnya, apabila lagu atau lakunan artis kena "gam", mana ada surat rasmi atau pengumuman rasmi dikeluarkan oleh sesiapa? Kadang-kadang agak susah nak percaya penafian rasmi ini. Berapa banyak Si Dolah menafi dan menyatakan sesuatu yang terang-terang pembohongan? Kalau Si Dolah kuat bohong, inikan pula si Zam yang bukan ulamak macam Si Dolah...

Pada Husin, kalau lagu dan macam-macam bahan media mahu diharamkan pasal dalam lirik ada perkataan "BERSIH", itu kira tidak matang, tak masuk akal dan ketinggalan zaman. Pilih mana satu.

Hari minggu ni, ada pulak kumpulan PROTES nak tunjuk perasaan di KLCC petang, adakah akan digam perkatan "PROTES" dari buku-buku, majallah, drama dan wayang? Nasib baik jarang tak banyak cerita dan lagu Melayu pasal cerita protes.

Bayangkan perkataan melePAS diharamkan. Berapa banyak falem P Ramlee yang lucu-lucu kena gam. Video itu mustahak nak melalaikan anak-anak dari merengek nak ikut, bila mak bapak nak keluar rumah atas urusan.

Macam mana pula kalau DAPat diharamkan? Tiga suku bahan-bahan media, multimedia, buku-buku dan laporan-laporan kerajaan dalam bahasa Melayu kena gam.

Jika USAh sensitif untuk didegamra, semua drama TV Melayu yang mendapat tajaan dari Fab dan Breeze akan digam. Mak ai ... itu lembu tunai (cashcow) untuk RTM.

Sekarang ni, orang peka politik pantang sebut SINGAPURA. Selagi Dolah, Khairy dan Kalimullah bermaharajalela, tidaklah digam bahan-bahan yang tertulis nama negara itu. Kalau digam juga, hampir semua wayang hitam putih klasik Melayu tutup di buat di Studio Shaw Brother di Jalan Ampas, Singapura. Astro kena tutup satu channel Melayu dan tak ada lagi "cerita Melayu" di stesyen TV RTM.

Janganlah jangan jadi bodoh bangau, Zam. Apa sebenarnya yang menjadi sensiviti telinga Zam atau bosnya si Dolah? Mari kita dengar dulu lagunya ...



Sedap lagunya, apa pula yang menjadikan dia orang tak tahan dengar?

Tan Sri: Satu masa yang telah silam
M. Nasir: Tak dapat diambil kembali

Tan Sri: Melayu mahsyur serata alam
M. Nasir: Hidup mewah gagah sekali

Tan Sri: Pahlawan kita nama terbilang
Ditakuti ramai perwira

M. Nasir: Melawan musuh tak terbilang
Duet: Gerak semangat kerana bangsa

Tan Sri: Kelekaan jangan dikenang
M. Nasir: Lautan duka kelak dikenang

Tan Sri: Hampir tinggal sehelai benang
M. Nasir: Bencana sengaja dipinang

Tan Sri: Jika perhati bangsa dagang
Kapak beliung di tangan memegang

M. Nasir: Kekayaan hendak diregang
Duet: Akhirnya saudagar pangkat dijulang

Tan Sri: Disulami syair termahsyur
M. Nasir: Usahlah berdengkur
Kita jua yang bertafakur

Duet: Yang mana khilaf tegur menegur
La..la...la..la...

Eh ... setakap ni penuh tersirat dan tersurat peringatan dan nasihat yang disampaikan dengan cara orang Melayu lama yang begitu sopan, adat dan adab.

Siap-siap pasal berdengkor tak bertafakur, ada orang sensitif gut?

Korus:

Tan Sri: Kulitnya bersih, hati pun bersih
Budi yang baik hatinya pengasih

Kulitnya bersih hati pun bersih
Memikul belati tiada memilih

Jadikan bersih hati pun putih
Berkata benar bermulut fasih

Jadikan bersih, hati pun putih

Duet: Dialah khazanah pintu terpilih
A a a aa aaa...aaaaa

Apa salahnya pasal putih bersih? Dolah dan anak bininya semua serba putih bersih kecinaan, kejepunan, dan keseranian? He he he ... menantu hitam kulit, hati dan pedal terasakah?

Tan Sri: Awak yang payah membelah ruyung
M. Nasir: Orang bertandang yang beroleh untung
Akhirnya kita tak akan dihitung

Namun, pasti lirik terakhir ini mungkin menjadi sensitiviti pucuk kepimpinan UMNO kerana keresahan orang Melayu dan ahli-ahli UMNO adalah berkaitan perkara ini.

Dibuka ruyung WPI dan macam-macam serambi, dibuat reformasi korporat dan dibawa pesaing, dan terbuka sana dibuka sini. Akhirnya yang untung bukan orang kita, tetapi Singapura, orang luar, orang asing dan lain-lain.

Mesti yang inilah!

Pendekatan Baru Kepimpinan

Sebagai Perdana Menteri, Dolah mempunyai organisasi, sumber dan kakitangan kerajaan untuk melakukan sesuatu terhadap penculik kepada anak Sharlinie.

Mengapa Dolah merayu kepada penjenayah penculik?

Sebagai seorang Perdana Menteri Imam Hadhari, Dolah tentu ada keistimewaan untuk melembutkan hati seorang penjenayah. Dengan hanya merayu, penjenayah tentu sanggup membebaskan kanak-kanak tersebut. Penjenayah sanggup mengenepikan habuan dari menuntut wang culikkan dari ibu bapa kanak-kanak itu atau menjual kanak-kanak itu atau menjadikan kanak-kanak itu peminta sedekah.

Maka dengan demikian, apa salahnya Dolah merayu kepada pengekspot, pengimpot, pemborong dan peruncit agar tidak menyorok dan menaikkan harga barang-barang runcit?

Bolehkah Dolah merayu kepada spekulator minyak antarabangsa supaya tidak menaikkan harga minyak kerana rakyat tidak berupaya untuk membeli minyak dengan harga lebih mahal?

Dengar hari ini saham Bursa Kuala Lumpur menjunam. Bolehkah Dolah patut merayu agar penjual melabur tidak menjual tetapi mencari dan mengeluarkan tabung buloh dan membeli saham-saham banyak-banyak untuk membolehkan Indeks Saham naik sahaja tidak turun-turun?

Apa salahnya Dolah merayu supaya penjenayah berhenti melakukan jenayah mencuri, merompak, pecah rumah, meragut dan mengugut?

Rakyat pasti akan bersyukur jika Dolah boleh minta orang-orang muda berhenti menjadi Mat Rempit dan melakukan keganasan di sekolah-sekolah dan tempat-tempat awam. Takkan tak dengar cakap Perdana Menteri?

Lebih pasti, rakyat akan suka ke tidak jika Dolah boleh merayu kalangan pegawai-pegawai kerajaan, ahli-ahli politik, dan para-para ahli perniagaan supaya tidak ambil rasuah, dan hanya hidup dengan gaji dan perniagaan yang ada?

Apa macam Dolah tentu boleh merayu si anak supaya jangan mintak projek kerajaan, samada betul-betul kerajaan atau Petronas atau entiti untuk pengswastaan pengangkutan?

Tak akan Khairy dan kaum keluarga terdekat tidak dengar rayuan Dolah supaya tidak masuk politik selagi dia Perdana Menteri?

Kalau Pak Lah rayu baik-baik dengan Lee Kuan Yew, pasti tak dia membenarkan jambatan bengkok di bina?

Rayu merayu ... satu pendekatan kepimpinanan baru seorang Perdana Menteri dalam menyelesaikan masaalah rakyat dan negara?

Malaysian Sex, Lies and Videotapes

Einstein is known for his Genius Mind.
Newton is known is known for his Extraordinary Mind.
Bill Gates a Brilliant Mind.
Dr Mahathir as Master Mind
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi? NEVER MIND lah!

A later addition to this old SMS joke:

Samy Velu/Musa Aman hmmmm? All mine!!!

The latest addition:

"When she lift up her skirt, I lost my mind" said Health (former) Minister Chua Soi Lek

Nothing but a good sex scandal to liven up the New Year 2008. It's been awhile.

Of all the politicians, who would have guess Dato’ Dr. Chua Soi Lek to be the person to be caught in a sex scandal. It's not like he has a reputation of one former CM known as a lady's man like Tan Sri Rahim Tamby Chik .

Dr. Chua is actually a nice man with quite a long track record of service in MCA and the community. His revelation is similar to the closeted past of one former newly appointed MB in the past, Dato Abu Hasan Omar.

The mistake Dr. Chua did over those Ministers (who later resigned) is to be caught on video. He admitted that he did not record it. Fine, it is not entirely his mistake. To catch a romp on video, it requires someone to set up the camera. It must have been a room he regularly used. Since MPs tend to reserve the same hotel room at their constituency, he must have been set-up in one of the constituency trip. Someone actually pulled one on him.

The last time some politician was caught on video must be that Taiwanese lady-politician, Chu Mei-Feng. The last heard of her was as she turned into a singer. She actually visited Malaysia and attracted quite a crowd. Dr. Chua don't have to resort to that. He could go back to practise after the dust has settled.

The famous case of sex scandal on video was DP Vijandran in the early 90s. Who will not forget his prowse of non-stop 45 minutes without shooting and it comes complete with an entertaining Tamilwood wooing in the beginning. It was said that few tapes was circulating and it includes one beautiful Chinese newscaster as his partner.

There was this story of a guy being offered the "Vijandran tape" (No VCD and DVD those days) by some smut peddler for RM350. By any account, that is very expensive. He later told his officemates. Since quite a few of them already saw the first circulating tape, they agreed to share and everyone chipped in.

Come Saturday nite at the pad of one of the office Bachelor. Everyone came over with their beer, soft drinks and munchies ready for a night of sensation. The host had the seats all nicely arrange for a comfortable on. He set the tape in the player and played.

True to what was promised, it was a Vijandran tape alright. DP Vijandran was giving a speech at the most recent MIC General Assembly. Initially, everyone was really pissed for being conned but later laughed it off as "a good one".

DP Vijandran was at the height of his career in politics and said to be groomed by Samy Velu as a future leader of MIC. It was around that time that S. Subramanian was the Deputy President and he actually made a challenge on Samy. Vijandran was a lawyer, bachelor and even before the tape was circulating, had a reputation as a lady's man.

There was this story making its round in the bars.

Samy, Subra and Vijandran went abroad for a trip. They reached a place, book a hotel and each of them got a 'woman' for themselves for the night. The next morning all of them came down to have their breafast together at the hotel restaurant.

While having breakfast, Vijandran asked Samy, "Boss how was your woman last night?"

Samy answered, "OK lah. She was pretty, nice body and good 'service'. I think my wife was better. How about you Subra?"

Subramaniam answered, "I find her very pretty and exotic. She was quite a sexual partner, quite decent 'service'. However, this sin is not worthy. My sex life with my Mrs is still better."

In his excitement, Vijandran spontaneously slipped from his mouth, "I agree with all of you. Your wives were better!"

Karpal Singh, who exposed the tape, was going for his hide but the Attorney General lost all tape evidences. No case. Despite denying involvement, Vijandran resigned from politics and post as Deputy Speaker of Dewan Rakyat to return back to law. He later settled with a nice Indian woman from India. That was the last heard of him.

Unlike Vijandran, Dr. Chua did the commendable thing to openly admit and resigned. All exposed sexual scandal of politicans end up resigning, be it Jack Profumo or Gary Hart or Chu Mei-Feng.

The manner Dr. Chua made his admittance last week seemed to indicate he thought he could do an “Edward Kennedy”. If one plan to remain, politicians never admit mistake.

Clinton's denial was an art. He denied any sex because there is no penetration. The same way he denied smoking marijuana because he didn't inhale. Clinton got away from impeachment simply because they couldn’t get the Senate for a two third majority.

Even PAS's Mat Sabu was caught for khalwat in Kota Baru in the infamous room 121 in a Kota Baru hotel did not admit it. Damn that cough medicine! Syariah court acquited Mat Sabu for technicality relating to witness .

Dr. Chua refused to resign initially and prefered to put the ball back to the Prime Minister’s court using the “he appointed and so he has the final say” excuse. He said, “I have no intention of quitting my government and party posts.”

That puts the Flip Flop Prime Minister in a difficult position. He already fumbled in his reluctance to ISA the Hindraf 5, charge of attempted murder that was withdrawn on 31 Hindraf demonstrators (not a lighter charge!), and the use of Allah for Christian’s Malay publication.

Dolah is likely to Flip Flop again and Dr. Chua knew it as he claim of making all the necessary apologies. He said the tape was not made by him (Vijandran did his own taping) and he had it with a personal friend.

Personal friend? For a platonic friendship with the oppositte sex, one can have meals, tea, conversation or group outings or whatever. But not sex!

The possibility for him being able to claim receiving apology from his family could likely be that the women is his other wife or mistress or not-the-principal wife. This is the likely answer and normal amongst Chinese as this blog tries to justify.

This reminded me of one famous Dato’ KSU caught in a high profile khalwat case in early 90s. It turns out the woman with the Dato at the hotel in Johor Baru was his second wife and naturally the Syariah Court threw out the case. Due to the ongoing case, he missed out on an opportunity to be the KSN. Talk of bad timing!

Dolah may have been reluctant to make a decision for fear of the impact of a possible strain relationship with MCA may have an impact on the General Election. Look at the willing faces together at the PC in show of support for Dr. Chua.


When the news was broken that MCA will meet to decide on its Vice President, it is not far fetch to think that Dolah was indecisive and may have requested MCA to decide. There was a clear reluctance in his resignation statements:

"I am proud that I have balls to admit my sins and save the taxpayers money to form panels to investigate my case if I did not admit but claim that the guy in the video isn't me, or my face was superimposed."

"By admitting, and apologizing, I should be forgiven. Instead people insist that I step down. I am sick of this 'holier than thou attitude'. It's like everyone wants to be ulamaks now."

His choice of words like ‘holier than thou attitude’, ‘taxpayers money’ and ‘Islam Hadhari’ seems to be a swipe at someone? Does that someone happen to have children and children-in-law that took financial advantage of his position? Someone whose children’s dealing put the country at security risk with the superpower? Someone whose sister-in-law put the country into an international financial scandal? Will that someone take the cue?

Dr. Chua could have stayed on, especially with his family’s support. No woman could readily accept such betrayal readily. It is never easy to mend a woman’s broken heart and feel of betrayal. Nevertheless, the family should stand by their father and stay united through this episode.

With reluctance or not, Dr. Chua’s act to resign is a much needed saving grace for the institution of leadership, after one shamble after another by the Prime Minister, his family and inner circle for the last two years. His courageous act of sacrifice has somewhat restored some sense of honour and integrity in the leadership.

This is one challenge of public life. Man with money, power and decoration is an attraction to some women. Men will be men, even how pious he is. There is a point of weakening resolve. The pursuit to public life comes with it's casualty of broken marriages. Common case of women unwiling to sacrifice the time and material for their husband. If it is a challenge to sustain a normal marriage life, think of the challenges to those in high places. One can only be so strong.

One politician used to boost that he never cheated on his wife and he believed in procreating everytime he consumate with his wife.

The friend asked him, “How many kids do you have?”

“Two”, he answered quickly.

The friend replied, “So did it only twice with your wife?!”

After the dust is settled and life goes back to it's usual humdrum, his indiscretion will be forgotten eventually.

Dr. Chua also said, "I received 200 SMSes that say other leaders do the same thing (involved in scandals). Not only leaders from MCA, but from other component parties as well. I need not reveal who they are, but mind you I am not the first 'victim' and definitely wont be the last."

As the Malay say, “Pandai pandai tupai melompat, lama-lama ke tanah jua.” There are definitely many more naughty tupai out there! There is definitely more scandals than the names caught here. I am not being judgemental for I'm capable to succumb to such temptations. My reminder is if one had sucumbed and caught, do resign please!

Lets start with this possibility here.
