JEGANARTH'S MEMOIR

The Message Behind BERSIH 2.0

2011-07-11T00:50:00.000+08:00

If you browse the Google, you may end up of finding about 46 million result on the word 'BERSIH'. I am pretty sure that that term does not connotes mere literal meaning, but its about a word which signify NGO's movement for fair, free and clean election process in Malaysia. Bersih 2.0 is nothing new in this year.It is a second version of wave which hit Malaysia on the year 2007 called Bersih 1.0. The 2007 Bersih rally was a massive one that hit the nation and call for fair, free and clean election. Their objective is to campaign against 'corrupted' government which runs the democratic process of election by it s animal- The Election Commission!!! or better known as SPR.

The allegation on SPR and the BN led government is all about practice of unfair, dirty, bias, and double standard. Bersih in the year 2007 addressed these issue and demanded the election system to be revamped by introducing inedible ink, abolition of postal votes, clean up Register Voters Roll, and call for free access of opposition parties campaign throughout the mainstream medias. However NONE of them were addressed by the SPR and the government. The SPR also acquired a bad name when the public confidence was reported to be lacked in the year 2008. The practice of double standard still goes on until today. Since then till now none of the issues were addressed and the continuous bad practice still goes on; as was reported by the BERSIH source. Therefore a massive rally took place in the city center of Kuala Lumpur to voice out this dissatisfaction and to demand the need of reformation. Dataran Merdeka was the place where the massive yellow rally took place, and several other spots were filled will the same emotion. On 9 July 2011, Bersih 2.0 conducted its rally in the same Dataran Merdeka! They forwarded 8 issues and demanded the SPR to find some solution of it so as to occupy Malaysia's electoral process with a good and reliable one.

Bersih 2.0 is not just an ordinary rally. It sought for a free, fair and clean election process and so as to restore to public confidence to the SPR and the electoral process. Bersih 2.0's chairperson Dato' Ambiga said it is a neutral NGO which voices out peoples need, and it is not Pakatan Rakyat's toy...For this statement i have no idea as i don't know how true is it.But what i am concerned is the NEUTRALITY of their struggle. They are fight and struggle for the people and not for the opposition parties, though they do support this because it eventually will benefit them too. I have came across many people who are doubting their neutrality, are they a tool of the opposition? My answer is just certain as above. So, now you say...aren't Bersih 2.0 neutral?

The 2011 Bersih 2.0 rally is a fight for betterment of the election system, so it is a taboo for the current government under BN??? Why they and the SPR are worry about it??? Afterall it is for a betterment!!!

The government under Prime Minister Najib Razak used various of modus operandi to bring this group down. Among them are:

Ban yellow t-shirt and other related stuffs. The people the called the government yellow-phobic government due to this rule.
Ban Bersih 2.0 and declare it to be illegal body because it caused threat to the nation by threathening to hold an assembly. But why there is a double standard practise as the Perkasa and UMNO youth wing initiated similar threat?
The government hide behind the monarchs and issue royal address to the public. The Agong had ask the Bersih organizer to consider their plan as it will bring more destruction than improvement. Similarly, the Sultan of Pahang( where Najib Belongs), Sultan of Selangor and Sultan of Johore had addressed anti-Bersih rally call.
Then though the Agong had met Ambiga and others, they agree to assemble and protest in Stadium Merdeka and to meet the government to settle this problem and channel their demand through diplomacy way.
The government broke the deal and disagree to the meeting and turned down the rally permit( which is under the care of OCPD empowered by the law through Police Act)
Repeated attempt of Ambiga to get police permit to hold a rally in Stadium Merdeka was turned down by the government. The police claim that KL is not a good place for rally and ask them to conduct it at interior place near jungle???
Government failed to cool down the issue but made a great mistake by creating public fear as there will be a war in KL. Police captured and locked down KL. Roads in KL and the entrance to Kl were closed to public.
Police uses force and tear gas in dispersing the peaceful crowd. So, who made the scene ugly?? Police or Bersih?

Series of such conduct is aimed to bring the group down, and Najib Razak is pretty confident that he don't want to repeat his predecessor's mistake in handling Bersih 1.0 in 2007. Najib had instructed the mainstream media to taint the Bersih 2.0 rally as a threat to the nation( but actually it is a threat to his political career). All that were listed above are the mistake of the government which they thinked that they manage to pressed down the demand!!! Unfortunately it is wrong...it drew bad perception on the public mind on how tyrant is the government.

Finally-is the 2011 Bersih 2.0 rally failed or is it a victory? Certainly isf we ask this question to the BN and Najib, they will say its a failed rally and the majority people doesnt support them. If we ask to their opposite parties, the answer may be a different one. They will answer it is a victorious rally. Though it end up of arresting more than 1660+ people for participating in the rally, the government had added more 'dislike' upon them. Not only the said sum, but their immediate family and friends may end up voting against the BN government. Some may question the government on why they are scare of reorming the election system. Other than that, people may ask the goverment why do police block on the roads they are not threatening public security. Some question may be posted against the government decision on being stubborn is allowing the indoor rally in Stadium Merdeka which is less harmful to the public. Why the government is dishonoring the people's right to assemble peacefully as enshrined in the Federal Constitution under Article 10.

There I would to sum up that the 2011 Bersih 2.0 rally has its own significance in educating the people on how 'tyrant' the BN government is and how the people's right had been taken away/eroded by the government. Actually there is a message behind it!

Semester Break, But No Time To Update Blog.

2011-07-07T01:22:00.000+08:00

I am on semester break now, and it will last long till September. It's the new schedule set up by the Ministry of Higher Education for all IPTAs. I know they have their rationale for that. So, i am on leave for months. Its good but its bad too. First waste of time, second cause boredom, cause laziness and many more. But its the new guideline. Though its a long leave, i have no time to update my blog. Hope its not a silly excuse. I have lots of stories and view to share but i find its convenient to use Facebook rather than Blog. But I do hope to return here to type something and not to abandon it. :)

End of 2nd Year...(Unoficially)

2011-04-15T00:04:00.000+08:00

The second semester in the second year comes to an end unofficially. It is unofficial because only the lecture is over, but the exam is not. There a big 'tide' coming ahead starting from 28 April because thats when my first paper will start.

This semester I will sit for 5 papers 4 of them being core law subjects which includes Constitutional law, Administrative law, Criminal law and Land law. The other one is an elective subject which is Social Psychology. Actually all of the 5 are equally important because they could enhance my CGPA. My sole aim is not only to increase my CGPA but also to develope mt understanding in these fields. Social Psychology as the name suggest, is something interesting because it is totally new to me as a law student. But I am really sure that this subject helped me to understand some basic psychological aspect of people surrounding me.

The time is running and up to now I had revised most of the subjects, but I really hope I can finish furnish myself totally on those subjects before the examination. One subject that I did is Mooting. It is actually a trial like subject, where the lawyer-to-be will prepare for the case and argue on it in the mock court in front of a 'judge'. That subject provide me with an opportunity in solving and helping in disposing case of 'client' .

The second year was quit awesome in certain aspect; from the people I cooperate with, from assignment i dealt with and with the tense that I cope with. But it had come to an end(unofficially), nevertheless it teach some lessons for me.

Post Campus Election

2011-02-23T10:44:00.000+08:00

   UM Campus Election is over. Some other public universities also had conducted the democratic process recently. UM campus election was 'grand" and eventually ''grander'' than last year's. I don't know whether the adjective of grand is suitable to be use to describe the election
   The nomination was chaos. Some 4 candidates' nomination were rejected by the Election Committee They alleged that the candidates did not completed the nomination form and it was a defect there. Due to the decision, the student (pro-M) protested by bringing 4 ''death bodies'' to signify their dissatisfaction. Some other even acted more radically to demonstate the unfair decision.
   The media also reported that a Pro-M candidate were kidnapped. However, the truth of the news is skeptical. On the election day, she had back to the campus. She was one of the PRo-M candidates which secured a Umum seat. All 9 Umum seat which were contested won by Pro-M.
   Last year the Penggerak mahasiswa managed to win, but this year there were a great swing to the Pro-M. This indicates that the students are the king-makers. Though this year's election is dramatic, but the are a big room for the democratic process to be conducted.

When Then? If It Is Not Now

2011-01-25T12:14:00.000+08:00

       It is already about 1 month since the semester resumed, but most of students awaiting the PTPTN money. I know it is a loan money so I really need to scrutinize on this. We, the student of IPT are not beggars, begging for money though we are in need of the money. Some of us really need to use the money for various causes. Itr some hostels foods are not provided and it the students need to dig their pocket to pay for the instant cash food seller. We can't owe them money. Some of them are staying at rented house and room outside campus. So the students need to pay for that too. Could they say that the PTPTN money is not in yet to the house owner. Definitely thats not the house owners bussiness- all that he want is money for the rental. Some of the need money for their bus fare and etc.
       So, all that we need is money to pay them. We cannot be debtor all the time, and we cannot be beggars on the same time....begging the money from the creditor which they are obligated to fund us. Remember.... this is a contract between the students and the PTPTN....where any failure to fuflill the obligation stipuated in the contarct could lead to civil suit at court. However, we the student won't do that.
        We would rather ask money from our parents. It shall borne in the mind of the students as well as the creditor(PTPTN) that delay on their part create problems here. Last week, i was alerted by a SMS by the creditor that they will fulfill their obligation on 31th January 2011. OK... I will wait for that. I wonder whether my colleagues who were sponsored by the JPA got their money banked in already or not.
Some of rumours spreading that the government have not enough money due heavy expenditure....and that why the money for the students is not in yet. Blame need to be place on the shoulders of the borrowers who defaulted in their payment. Anyway....all that the student at large are hoping is that the money will be soon banked in.           When then...if it is not now because we really need the money.

Delay is for Betterment?

2011-01-10T10:58:00.000+08:00

     It has been so long waiting for the Family Law result. Guess what?...The paper which the students sat not out yet. Other results are out but not this. This raise some queries among the candidates on why it is not out yet. There has been some rumours saying that some unfortunate happened to the result. Some expressed it more specific manner, many failed the paper. *Gulp*. It is something that the Law Faculty of UM don't want to win the Guiness Book of Record. Imagine about 90+ peoples failed out of 100+. I don't know whether it is true or not. But looking into the circumstance surrounding the faculty, I can deduce so.
     Deputy Dean was reported saying that the delay in releasing the result is for betterment. I really don't know to what extent it would be better. Maybe the numbers of failures may decease is a significant number or just few persons. I am of same view with my batchmates that we are not stupid so as to fail this paper. If we are stupid, in the first place we would not enroll in this number law school in Malaysia. Or it is about the high expectation on the part of the examiners. Something that they should bear in mind is that we are just student, we are studying, so we cannot be expected to write as a judge or a skilled lawyer. We are in the learning process. So we deserve a not-too-harsh marking.
     This is the second week of the second semester of the the second year, but the result is not out yet up to this time. We the students don't want to repeat the paper for second time. Anyway, all we hope is that what our Deputy Dean assured will come true. ''Delay is for betterment.''

Studying & 'Holidaying'

2010-11-07T16:47:00.000+08:00

Semester ended on 29th October and now I on semester break The new semester will resume on 5th January 2011. But this holiday is a weird one! It is a studying holiday-*supposedly.

Deepavali is end by now...so need to start my revisions- especially for the exams. Last minutes work definitely would not help me, perhaps will produce a lousy work My father always reminds me "Today NOT Tomorrow!"

   Ok...stop thinking of the sufferings, just take time to relax on this Hari Raya. Anyway...Happy holiday!

Merdeka Spirit

2010-08-31T01:00:00.000+08:00

Today is Merdeka Day. I heard firecrackers at 12am on the 31st August, but I still do not feel the spirit of Merdeka on this year. I don't know why. Others may feel this as well.Apparently, I can't see big number of Jalur Gemilangs as what I saw on the previous years.Advertisements on TV are also less than the previous years. Other evident includes no Merdeka Parade for this year- but the government promise something different this year.

I almost forget that this is our 53rd Merdeka....but why I ignore it and I didn't realized it. Is that I am not a Malaysian??? No, I am a Malaysian. But why? Anyhow I know that I get a holiday on 31 August. Many of my peers feel that too. I wonder why.....?

I from next year onward I shall remember this day and celebrate it with the Merdeka spirit. Ok....but for now let us remember the past- our history and and eveluate and analysis it in brief. Below here I have listed the beautiful side of our Malaysia and the ugly side of (y)our Malaysia.

The nice side that we supposed to be proud of:

In politics, we made some changes via election where we as the citizens that democracy is exist in Malaysia ( denying 2/3 majority in the ruling party and change some state government)
Some of our politicians become bolder in voicing out people's need.
In economy, GDP increased tremendously within the last 52 years.
Good transportation and infrastructure
Sports champs (Nicol and Lee Chong Wei)
We are becoming IT savvy
Educated peoples are increasing
Enjoying Malaysian culture, arts and heritage regardless of race and religion ( especially when it comes to food)

The ugly side that we supposed to be shamed of:

Unconstitutional moves of political parties in grabbing power ( Perak power seize 2008)
No rule of law, double standard in practice when delivering justice (Altantuya murder trial, Anwar sodomy, Teoh Beng Hock trial)
Citizen's life being deprived, not accordance with the law (Kugan's death in prison, Teoh Beng Hock's death and Aminulrasyid's shooting spree)- Malay, Chinese, Indian involved....1 Malaysia transformation program?
In economy, monopoly of economy by political figures& nepotism and cronyism practice
Failure of DEB....no comments ( why our Bumiputera brothers and sister still in poverty?)
Inflation getting high( even GDP increased.....the that is no pride because people pays more and that become the govt income-that is the GDP)
Racial, religious unity( in the first place, why we segregate ourselves into race? is it necesarry to know somebody's race and background?)
Poor understanding on our Muhibah spirit (We are Malaysian first,then be it as what you want?)
Over politicising on nonsense issues and doesn't treat it as academy discussion( especially when it comes about govt policy on race based issues)
Traitors within us whom are protected by the ruling parties( making racial slur to cause chaos so that can champion their respective race)
Finally, not acknowledging the Federal constitution as the supreme law of the nation( everyone including Agong is subject to this law)

So, the ugly list is overwhelming. You decide how to solve them. Pleaseeeeeeee........ do it for the sake of maintaining our independence. Happy Merdeka!!!

No Way for Emergency at Federal Highway !!!

2010-08-27T00:17:00.000+08:00

   I use the Federal Highway almost everyday-traveling from Shah Alam to PJ( Jalan Universiti) on morning and vice versa on the early evening. That is the route which accommodate thousands of vehicles on everyday. So, it is a busy highway, and it maybe the busiest route ever in Malaysia.
   A lot of the user use that highway because it link the major towns and cities in the Klang Valley. But ! problem with that highway. Jamm!!!!! Every morning and every evening. Imagine, that I would need to take about 40 minutes to travel from Shah Alam to the campus even the distance is just 25km.

But today, I took near an hour to travel from Shah Alam to the campus via the PJ gate. And today I took about 1 hour and 15 minutes for me to reach Shah Alam from the UM campus. Massive jamm!!! I then noticed that the police who ease the traffic flow at the route is missing in action. They were not there. Oh, the I knew why the traffic flow is terrible than the usual day.
   I am here not to condemn the policemen who are supposed to be there. But, by missing in action had cause much trouble to the users, especially to those who paid the toll charge. So, the policemen must make sure that vehicles from the Subang Jaya and LDP interchange does not drive with less caution to the lanes there.

   The policemen should know that their work are much appreciated by the route users, and they are also reminded to not to neglect their duty. Save for that, the driver attitude is another factor for causing the traffic jamm on the expressway. The driver from Subang and from LDP interchange must know how to drive with caution especially when entering into the right lane. They should bear in mind that they act will be amounted like kambing keluar kandang. They drives like greedy and hypocrite peoples on the road.

   The users from Subang and LDP interchange must change their attitude because they are the main factor for causing traffic jamm at the highway. Perhaps the PLUS shall place a toll plaza at the interchange(susur keluar) for them so as to collect some money from them because they are the largest group of people who use the highway for free. People from Shah Alam on the another hand pays RM1 even if they wish to use the highway to go to Klang and to the south(heading KL).

The bad habit of the road users was illustrated today when they blocked the lanes INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY LANE. an ambulance in emergency today can't use the lane due the hippocratic behaviour of the Federal Highway user.

Sorted Out Dilemma in Just Few Seconds!

2010-07-15T16:34:00.000+08:00

   Since the first day I in the law faculty, I face dilemma on choosing an elective subject in law. There were many options. There were Environment law, Islamic Humanitarian Right ( IHR ), Islamic Criminal Law ( ICL ), Intellect Property, Gender and law, and Conflict of law on the list. It is depend on individuals to choose which elective subject that they prefer. Honestly I prefer, IHR and Gender & law. But......'not everything that you like will' belongs to you. Thats true. I can't register for that subjects because they clashes with my other subjects' tutorial classes.
   So, without any other option, I took ICL, but not much interested in it. Not that I don't want to study ICL because it is an Islamic related subject. I like to study about other race, culture, religious and customs. But...the problem here is I can't get good prospect of job in the job market. Even, there is an issue of whether a non- Muslim lawyer can present as an advocate in the Syariah court. Till the court did not come out with it's decision, I am sure non-Muslim law student would feel skeptical on it.
   I tried to register for other subjects but the online system of UMISISWEB said ''kumpulan kursus ini telah penuh''. So, no more admission. I can't stop thinking of other subject that may may good job prospect in future.Intellectual Property is a good subject. But, that subject is also full. Can't sleep well yesterday, thinking of appeal to the lecturer. Unfortunately, I can't meet her today.
   A miracle happened this afternoon, when I tried to register for that subject. The on-line system said, ''kursus LXEB3320 telah didaftarkan''. Thank God.My dilemma was sorted out within 10 seconds. No more appealing, no more worries and tonight I can sleep well. all I need to do now is attend lectures and study well.

Back to Law School.

2010-07-12T16:28:00.000+08:00

   The Law faculty received new law students today, almost an hundred of students. They dress in formal, black and white. They are called 'freshies'. Other than that, other senior students are back now. The second year, third year and the final year student are glad enough to welcome the freshies. A lot of memoir awaiting them in this law school, like what my batch mates and I had experienced last year.
   For us the second year, new challege awaiting us. I myself in conflict of choosing perfect time for tutorial classes. Need to fulfill 20 credit hour in 4 days a week. Subjects like Constitutional law, Administrative law, Criminal law, Land law, Family law and Islamic Criminal law re on my list, as they are my core subjects this semester. Need to work hard on it!
   Now I am no longer staying in campus. I am an off-campus student. Staying peacefully and happily with my family in my hometown in Shah Alam. I just need to travel every Monday to Thursday to campus, as my classes starts on 9 a.m. everyday. I have no regret for not staying in residential college. I love my home very much, so I am willing to travel everyday from campus to home--- even using the Federal Highway.

My Birthday Party.

2010-07-01T15:33:00.001+08:00

My birthday was on the 21st June, but the party was on the 27th June, which is on Sunday. Preparation was done prior to the celebration. The veneu: my house at Taman Sri Muda. A month ago I accompanied my parents to give away the invitation, and I myself had informed my friends about it and invited them. I understand that they can't make it as they were on the semester break and could not ask them to travel from one state to another state.School friend also were in their campus and outstation. So, they can't make it.
Most of them who attended the party is my relatives. It is a kind of family reunion. They come from Ampang, Klang , Cheras, Shah Alam, Malacca and many other place just for wishing me HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Really appreciated them for attending and gracing the party. Hope they had enjoyed the Sunday night.

But for me everyday is Father's Day, because I love my father so much. Like many of you, I love my father very much. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, DAD!

Bye-bye KKTB

2010-06-17T23:22:00.000+08:00

Kolej Kediaman Tuanku Bahiyah or also known as Second College in UM is one of the oldest residential college in UM. This place had been the second home of many famous people who studied in UM. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the former prime minister was one of the alumni there. Of course, I was one of it's alumni because I had stayed there for 2 semester or 1 academic year.

I applied to stayed at the second college by the end of the second semester.....but I failed to get a place there. Not me alone, but a bunch of law student failed to secured a place there. The system works as all the student need to apply for an accommodation there, and the college administration will choose who they want. They claimed ,they choose the student who deserved to stay there based on the students' contribution and participation in college's projects.

I agree that I was not fit to get a place there as I always boycotted their activity. I have reasons for that because, their activities were political motivated and they practise race based politics among students. Who would agree if the AUKU law says NO to politics in university but the college says YES to political agenda in residential college. I am not a person who will agree to all that bullshit - so I boycotted. I was blacklisted by them, and yes they refused to accommodate me even I've appealed.

There are no second year,third year and even final year law students there.Only first year students, and now most of them did not get a place there. What is their agenda for not taking most of us? Only some students were allowed to stay for the next year. but why? All of this are political motivated...they want us to support BN and if you against it,say bye-bye to KKTB. I know a classmate of mine who support BN directly were allowed to stay there.Even I can prove you that an important office holder in that college is a BN component Youth wing bereau head. So, would there be transparency in choosing the students for accommodation in KKTB? I am not advocating for myself, but for law student who supposed to get a place there!

* REMINDER TO NEW STUDENTS: SAY BYE-BYE TO KKTB IF YOU FAILED TO SUPPORT BN.*

MATB 2 at KL Hilton

2010-03-28T02:25:00.001+08:00

Malam Anugerah Tuanku Bahiyah 2 or MATB 2 is a appreciation night to appreciate Second College Residents (Secholians). This year award presenting night was held at the KL Hilton Hotel on 25th March 2010. Two months ago this was made public by the organizer to the Secholians. The organizer made public partial true news about it, and not a precise information as well. First, they endorsed a notice to residents, by asking us to register for the gala dinner event. Secondly, they did not mention anything about the payment for it. They told no payment are required because 'we were charged during the early period of the semester'. Believe in that word, Secholians especially the first year residents completed and submitted form, that were given to them. But I had no intention to attend it even some of my friends advise not to waste the 'paid' sum.

But, I really got shocked when they charged RM 138 for the event on the day before the event. that really disappointed me when the account showed that I owed the University RM 138. I don't want to be barred to attend the upcoming exam or not paying my debts.I told that to some others, and they also really felt disappointed with the college administration for not revealing the amount when we asked the organizer. Initially, I plan to go back home on Thursday night, but this problem occurred. Whatsoever I need to settled it up before going back home.

So, my friend and me planned to seek the College Master's clarification regarding this matter. The other Secholians don't want to ask for clarification which is their right. Even some of them really don't know that RM 138 need to be paid.On the next morning, both of us went to his office to settle it up, but his attitude really upset us. He was so defensive for the organizer's foul and tried to blame us for not keeping up to date with the information. Then he argued that, "Can't you raised us only RM 138 for your college dinner?" That really hurt us, because we knew that the organizer should be blame for fraud! That guy defended the fraud by counter blaming us. "There is no free lunch", he said. Seems that he don't understood what we were trying to say to him. So, we just asked for some time for us to pay for the dinner. Now I till have to attend it because I need to pay for it.

The organised were poor in organizing and administering the logistic, because we arrive there not as they planned. I THINK I SHOULD NOT CONDEMNING THEM ANYMORE, and tell you the phenomenon of the event.

The hotel is a 5 Star rated hotel, so RM 138 is reasonable but thats covered food,transportation, award for the winners, and maybe free foods for the VVIPs. The organizer invited Raja Nong Chik(Federal Territories and Urban Well-Being Minister) but he couldn't turn up, but he send his representative which is the UMNO official for Lembah Pantai Constituency. That's nonsense! Why let a politician officiate the event as he's belonged to politics? There were TNC who attended the event and why dont let anyone of them to officiated it? They are academicians and Datuks as well.

The Mystery of Trash Thieves

2010-03-12T15:26:00.000+08:00

Since I in the Law Faculty of UM, I occasionally witnessed the trash bins along the walkway were mess up. I wondered who did this. This question solved till I got the answer early last week. It is the ugly work of a group of 'trash thieves' for 'food'. They were in group of 5 or 6. They only enter the faculty of evening because not many peoples will be there. They managed to steal some trash which are useful for them. But that doesn't distract me! It really distract me when they mess up the trash bin and let the floor dirty.

I had met them for few times, but they run away when they saw me or any of us there. Imagine, they are sometimes aggressive too. So, it's better to take some precautionary steps. Sometimes they even to the 1st college and 2nd college. They must be stop immediately. Even, the TNC HEPA knew this problem.....but I dont know what the the authority doing...And these are the thieves photograph which I managed to snap.

Sparkling Light at I-City

2010-02-19T01:59:00.000+08:00

I-City is a project under the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) establishment. Phase 1 of the 1-City is ready ,but there are more works to be done in order to build the city. I-City is situated at Section 1, Section 7, Bandar Baru Klang, and Sungai Rasau. It is a landmark to the township of Klang and Shah Alam. There is place called CityWalk and CityPark. It is a park which decorated with colourful LEDs and it was arranged in order to formed as replicas.
This light work was started in December during Christmas and now it continued till Chinese Near Year. During Christmas, replicas of Christmas tree was placed there and that made the place bright and colourful during night.
Then, replicas of pandas, and red lanterns were placed there.Initially, the replicas of pine and maple trees, sakura flower-like tree, unicorn, swans, frogs, peacocks, butterflies, reindeers were placed there.All of these made it as a wonderland in I-City. After all, it is very beautiful and fascinating.

*Colourful and beautiful*

*Large landscape*

*X'mas trees*

*Replica of an horse*

*White swans with green frogs*

* Red lantern hanging on the tree*

Peoples from the Klang Valley have a greater chance to experience this scenery. So, do grab time at night to enjoy the sparkling light at I-City. After all, the show is free of charge. But you need patient to get a parking space there because hundreds of car tries to find a space for parking. If you are energetic and willing to walk, just park your car hundreds of meters away and walk to the place. Feel free to experience this wonder in the I-City.

2010 UM Campus Election Showdown !

2010-02-12T17:57:00.003+08:00

Democratic principle is enshrined in our Federal Constitution and that provides us to the chance choose our representative to represent us. This is also extended to the public universities, where the students can elect their representative to represent their will at Undergraduate Student Representative Council. The campus election in UM was held on the 28th January 2010. This year's election was peaceful than the previous years where last year incidents like throwing pig head in the Akademi Pengajian Islam's surau and the written of 'Om' word in Sanskrit at 2nd College. This year nothing was so bad as the previous years but problem started when the election result was announced.

* Technician repairing the CCTV so that can monitor any intruder..

* Approved candidates banner were hanged at the strategic location.

* Penggerak's unapproved banner were hanged earlier- before the election was announced .

* Penggerak's unapproved campaigned materials.

* A watchman been hired for ensuring resident's safety for a week.

* Pro-M's unapproved campaign materials which includes CDs, stickers, booklets and etc- prohibited at college and will be confiscated.

* A candidate's approved banner were found near to the drain due to sabotage.

* Penggerak's flyers were hanged at college pathway.

* Writing papers features his face, bookmarks and calenders featuring Penggerak's logo.

* The Chinese Cultural Club members were asked to monitor the entrance every night till early morning two weeks before the election,and it stops after the election ends.

The nomination day was on Monday (25th Jan) and the D-day was on Thursday (28th Jan). The campaign period was same as the UKM, USM and UTM. Overall, the campaign trail was peaceful. Howver There were some sabotages between the candidates and their supporters. The race to the post in MPMUM is tough yet many candidates joined the race. Every candidates must pay RM50 as deposit and must be nominated by another person, then supported by another two persons. The campus election rules strictly require the candidates to stand on their own capacity and not on any affliction of groups. BUT, who strictly obey the rule and the Bahagian Hal Ehwal Pelajar ignores this. There are two main groups in UM and I am sure their network extents to all campuses in Malaysia. They are Penggerak Mahasiswa(Pro-Aspirasi)and the another is Pro-Mahasiswa. Penggerak seems to be supportive to BN and Pro-M seems to be supportive to PR. So, are politics in campus is same as outside there? Yes, they tend to gain the students support by proposing the agenda to the student. I don't care whether they are BN or PR, all I just want to know is why they aren't adhering the provision of law and why the university's don't want to act against them? Doesn't the universities know about this? I can prove that the universities know about this all but they just keep mum about it, but not now.

* Access door were activated so that outsider would not enter the hostel to campaign at night. Only those with the access card can go into the block. Only by using access card, one can enter the block.

I am an independent person and not the supporter of any of them because I am a law student and adhere the law and it's rationale. After all this is not a big match isn't it? But why the party politics happened to be in campuses. We just want a representative to represent our interest, and that was done excellently by the former law faculty representatives-as they are independents. All the residential college tends to support the Penggerak and I don't interested in that, but they should not use that power to overtake the will of another and provide freedom to everyone to practice their own ideology.

Election went on very well even though there happened some trivia. Before the election announced many changes happened in the college where I stayed and as well as the university.

* Notice that gate and all entrance will be close at night.

Then the election D-day was peacefully by e-voting method . Previously there were some dissatisfaction of this method and it leads to the formation of BANTAH. This group skeptical about e-voting and want UM to use the conventional method. UM and two othe Universities conducted election by e-voting even though there were grouses. E- voting is a fast and easy process but some still want the conventional method to be used.

* An officer from Pusat Teknologi Maklumat setting up computer for election via e-voting.

Result was announced on 8p.m.-earlier than usual, 5a.m. And the winners are Penggerak! They won 21 out of 41 seats, 3 seats won by independent and Pro-M won 17.Pro-M who won 19 seats last year was supported by 2 law representatives where else Aspirasi won 20 seat. This year results upsets them and they blame the e-voting method.

Pro-M launched demonstation outside the Chacellory and demanded Vice Chancellor and his deputy to resign. Prof. Dr. Gauth Jasmon promised to investigated the problem with the e-voting system. He than agreed to put down the result till investigation is done. He also agree to allow a IT specialist from Harvard University to examine the system which was proposed by Pro-M themselves. But the IT consultant found no fault in the system. However, Pro-M can't accept their loss and organised a rally in the campus.

* Penggerak supporters leave the college and heading to Dewan Tunku Chansellor ,where the result will be announced.

It's common in competition-there will be a winner and there will be a loser. We must accept it if it was conducted fair and without favour. After all everyone deserved this because they did not represent the students but they eagerly to represent their party.

Worries...

2010-01-15T12:03:00.000+08:00

Who doesn't worry. We may worry about our future, whenever there is a possibility for it to be real. Everyone might worry due to the global economy crisis and what more if we feel harmed.

But what I worry is the safety of us all due to the threat carried out by certain group. They do this just to create havoc and chaotic Malaysia.We should be thankful to the God for being tolerance among the races in the 1950s in order to achieve Merdeka. Then , we started to practice acceptance of other culture in our lifestyle. All of us must had eat nasi lemak, roti canai and drink teh tarik on morning. We also practice giving out 'ang pau' for all festive seasons. Malaysians also celebrate a hero or nationalist by presenting them 'malar malai' @ flower garland.We enjoyed to watch Sumazau dance.This is Malaysia we have now. But will it there forever?

I asked you because you can answer me!

I know that you can answer it but you worry that you might be arrested under ISA. So, what we should do when our precious Malaysia going to be in 'hell' if this current acts continues.This is the issue of attacking religious place where the God resides.I don't understand why such a person started to behave as barbarians when the High Court ruled out that the word 'Allah' can be used by anyone and not exclusive to Islam only. I don't know the content of Bible and the content of Sikh holy book, and I don't know what 'Allah means for them. It MAYBE means different for them. Islam has their meanings for it as the Christians and the Sikhs. It is there in their Holy Book and it was from the God. How can there be a group asking another religion not to use it?

Ok, let it be there as I don't to be jailed for so-called seditious words. I would like to tell you not to do like the 'barbarian' by arsoning our brothers and sister who believe in the own religion. We have no right to ask others not to practice their belief or we attack their worship place. That will totally go beyond the teaching of every religion. Which religion asked us to attack other's worship place.

But there are some people who is crazy and barbaric started it but they called themselves 'innocent'.Ironically, they had their vision to pin in hatred to other race and religion in us.That was for the sake of their political agenda. The Prime Minister , Najib stated that "we can't stop the protester". That was same goes to his cousin-Home Minister, Hishamuddin. The opposition likes to use it as their political agenda as well, they prefer to blame the government

But on the same time Kelantan MB, Nik Aziz had called Buddhist monk and and a Christian leader for a lunch with him.That is awesome.Why not others do something to stop this tense. I as a student worry, this could come into the campus as the Campus Election is nearing.

I do hope this worry could vanished quickly. Hope those barbarians be a civilized citizen of Malaysia or else it is useless to proclaim there and here about 1 Malaysia.Better be it as 'tiga suku' Malaysia

Do you know what I did last Christmas?

2009-12-31T15:44:00.003+08:00

I Know What You Did Last Christmas !

That must be your line after you read the followings:

There is nothing big secret to hide actually. I just went for a visit to Johore. My uncle proposed that we should visit a newly rebuilt Hindu temple in JB. That temple made headlines few months ago, I guess. The temple is unique as it emulate a Buddhist temple(wat) in Bangkok in it's architecture. It was built with using glass and mirror and that makes it unique than any other Hindu temple in the world. The ARULMIGU RAJA KAALIAMMAN TEMPLE in Jalan Tebrau is the one and only Hindu temple in the world which was build in that kind of architecture. Surprisingly.....there are other statues or saints like Buddha and Jesus Christ.(but I can't get the picture here)

But the visit to Johore doesn't just put us there alone. We also visited another Hindu temple named SRI ARULMIGU MUNEESWARAR ALAYAM which also known for it's location. It was just few meters away from the railway track.You look for witnessing it.

Chronologically, we started to move from Puchong on 11:30 am. As we reached the PLUS expressway, it was a jam on the highway due to an accident. And another big reason of the jam is the style of driving of the KL urbanite. They are unlike Shah Alam people who respect the road rules.The distance was about 350 km and it took more than 3 hours .It would be earlier if there is no jam.

Then we visited the Muneeswarar temple before go for a late hour lunch. Then, we started to move on the JB city to go to the glass temple. Guess what. None of us know where it is. So it was a ride around the city...till we accidentally entered to the Kompleks Bebas Cukai and it leads to the causeway to Singapore.How embarrassing! We have to explain to the policemen, immigration officers and also the Customs officers that we are lost and finding our way back to JB.So, a policeman suggested to us to make a U-turn .But it is not so easy as the queue was very long. It took half an hour to reached back to the Kompleks and get away from the place. However, my uncle who lead us the way just now just take it easy as he said it is just an experience. His mistake brought us to visit the causeway . However we enjoy the panorama while watching the 'making' of 2nd causeway.

Later on we found the temple and prayed there.Later on we left to Malacca for a visit.We left Malacca at 3am and reached Shah Alam about 5am. So,now you know what I did last Christmas.

Why a delay in posting?

2009-12-15T15:20:00.001+08:00

Tired.Tired.Tired........
That is why I did not update this blog. Here are few reasons,thus it i a kind of memoir in my life.
First,busy packing up stuffs to move in to new house. It is a double storey house at Seksyen 25 , Shah Alam.
I will no longer stay at Seksyen 26, Shah Alam.This new place is just nearby from them previous area. I was tired packing those thing in house.So much things left, till now only manage to packed half of it all. Futhermore have to look for boxes to shift those things.
Secondly, I have to paint the new house.The previous colour was terrible.Pink, yellow, orange. People can turn blind if see this colours. So the new colour is white h. That much better than those colours.White can macth with any other colours(eventhough it is plain and boring). There are more work there, like piping, and electricity and other utility as well. Just leave it to experts to do. I not good in it.

Thirdly, a sad news.My uncle passed away. He was an Islam- converted Indian.,so the funeral rituals was held according Muslim's way.We just went there to see him for the last time. He was a contractor in Kelantan and he was married and had 2 children.He pasted away on Monday morning, and guess what? He must be burried in that same day! All of his family members cant attend as it is far. So about 20 of us rushed to Kelantan. 4 cars and each car accomodated 5 people. As no one knows the place, we were helped by his friend-a Chinese man lead us the way.It took about 6 hours+ to reached Kuala Krai. Terrible ride-the road were dark because no street light,one lane only,often used by lorries and logger's trailer, heavy rain and spooky.We reached there on 10 pm i guess.We stayed there and returned home on Tuesday. I noticed that the people there are much friendlier and helpful than those in Klang Valley-eventhough we are not same ethnic.

Final reason ....because i am tired and a bit lazy.thats why!

2012

2009-11-23T16:05:00.001+08:00

The movie 2012 really brought up big audience in cinemas all around the world when it was screened early last week.Why suddenly everyone seemed to be interest in it ? I don't know why! I took a look and browse for "2012" and I got more than 200million results from it.Most of the views and search were not referred to the mentioned movie,...but the YEAR 2012.
Why the year becomes so popular? Later I got to know that it was a massage sent by the director in this movie to all of us.He meant the WORLD WILL BE VANISHED! Shocking news isn't it? But it really shocked me...not because of the movie...but due to some 'research' I did myself.
I watched an episode of documentary which was played on the History Channel named, Nostradamus:2012. It was about the mystery surrounding the year 2012. They revealed Nostradamus' well-known 'Les Prophecies'.It was not merely a book or almanac but it is more than what it means.It was a collection of of prediction which was put in of 4 lines which tells us what will happen in future. However it depends on us how to read and interpret it. Some scientist,linguist expert, astronomy researcher, religious figures make their predictions based on it.Shockingly, most of them able to gave nearly the same interpretation.
The prediction are somehow true, in sense that the world nearing to its destruction. All major religion in the world as well as some beliefs stated that the world will come to the end. Of course 99% of us will agree with it. But ,if those prediction of Nostradamus that the world will destroy in 2012, then there is a room for a major and serious discussion on it. Remember, he predicted not by seating at the seashore or a his house backyard...but he was into serious research about the star and the galaxy. Whatever happens now depend on the position of Earth,sun, and the stars in the Milky Way.
Nostradamus revelation does not enough?So how about the"Mesoamerican Long Count calender"? This calender tell that the world will destroy on a certain year and pave way for new creation. Their prediction was used by Nostradamus in his research. Unfortunately, the creator(Mayans) of this calender vanished and their civilization disappeared for an unknown reason.
Now in this era, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, and Jews believe in the theory. Christians believe The Judgment Day.Muslims believe in Hari Qiamat.Buddhist and Hindu believe in the Last Day. All of us no matter in which religion, knows that the world we live in now will destroy.I as a Hindu believe that we are in the Kali Yuga(Age of Vice) and the last incarnation of the Lord Vishnu will appear as the Kalki.Lord Shiva will destroy everything. I am sure that you guy have your own teaching how the Last Day of the life in your own religion.
Here are some Prediction of Nostradamus which interpreted and it came into real. Firstly,Tsunami which killed 150 thousands of people in 2004.Secondly, Storms like Katrina hurricane and Ida hurricane which happened last year.Thirdly ,rainstorm in China which destroyed a part of a province, due to big flood. Moreover, there happened to be some series of war, malnutrition due to lack of food, greenhouse effect, and inconsistent climate changes. there are more which i may not notice,but you may know.
2012, beware we might not be alive on 21st December 2012 if what was predicted by Nostradamus based on his research is true and precise.
