UMNO-Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament Question in Parliament

taken from http://www.parlimen.gov.my/hindex/pdf/DR-29102007.pdf - page143-144.

Tuan Syed Hood bin Syed Edros [Parit Sulong]:Tuan Yang di-Pertua, saya ingin menyentuh satu perkara tentang Kementerian Pelajaran iaitu sekolah-sekolah mubaligh seperti Convent, La Salle, Methodist dan sebagainya. Saya difahamkan Lembaga Pengarah di sekolah-sekolah ini sebahagiannya ditadbir dari gereja-gereja di luar negara seperti di Vatican City. Saya juga difahamkan permohonan untuk membina surau
di sebahagian sekolah-sekolah ini terpaksa mendapat kebenaran daripada Lembaga Pengarah
yang mana Lembaga Pengarah ini sebahagiannya ditadbir oleh gereja.

Jadi amat memalukanlah, bagi diri saya, tentang pentadbiran sekolah-sekolah ini yang
masih lagi dikawal oleh pihak gereja. Begitu juga saya difahamkan tentang iklim sekolah-sekolah
tersebut, banyak ibu bapa Islam menghantar anak-anak mereka ke sana, mereka kompelin
sebab ada kalanya sekolah dimulakan dengan lagu-lagu gereja. Ini saya tidak tahu benar atau
tidak, tetapi ia apa yang saya dapat daripada ibu bapa sendiri tetapi yang jelas di sekolahsekolah
ini terpampang simbol-simbol agama. Saya rasa kecewa di dalam negara Islam,
Malaysia ini, kalau saya pergi ke sekolah convent, ada terpampang patung St. Mary di depandepan
sekolah convent...

Datuk Haji Mohamad bin Haji Aziz [Sri Gading]: [Bangun]

Tuan Syed Hood bin Syed Edros [Parit Sulong]: Silakan Yang Berhormat bagi Sri
Gading.

Timbalan Yang di-Pertua [Datuk Dr. Yusof bin Yacob]: Ya, Yang Berhormat bagi Sri
Gading.

Datuk Haji Mohamad bin Haji Aziz [Sri Gading]: Bagi saya sudah tidak terkejut, Yang
Berhormat bagi Parit Sulong, cerita ini... [Disampuk] Bukan soal biasa. Soalnya kenapa boleh
berlaku seperti ini? Satu. Hari Raya yang lepas, saya diberitahu oleh seorang bapa, waktu
Aidilfitri disambut, sekolah jenis-jenis ini tidak ditutup. Terima kasih.

Tuan Syed Hood bin Syed Edros [Parit Sulong]: Bukan sahaja patung, tetapi Ahli-ahli
Yang Berhormat pergilah, tengoklah salib Kristian diletakkan di depan-depan sekolah. Saya tidak faham Kementerian Pelajaran, adakah pegawai-pegawai tidak nampak atau memang dasar kita membenarkan perkara ini. Walau bagaimanapun, saya sebagai orang yang bertanggungjawab kepada diri saya, agama, bangsa dan tanah air ini, saya menyatakan pendirian saya bahawa patung-patung ini hendaklah dirobohkan, salib-salib ini hendaklah dimusnahkan dan pengaruh-pengaruh gereja di sekolah-sekolah ini hendaklah dihentikan.

Begitu juga dana yang dikumpulkan di sekolah-sekolah ini. Adakah kita mendapat
laporan? Kalau boleh kementerian mendedahkan dana sekolah-sekolah ini. Saya difahamkan
ada sekolah-sekolah ini juga ditaja oleh pihak-pihak gereja. Dana-dananya datang daripada
gereja-gereja dan adakah pihak kementerian pantau sumber-sumbernya? Adakah audit-audit
dilaksanakan?

2007-04-23T12:32:00.000+08:00

Watch Everywoman this week, on The crime of apostasy.

Story:
In today's program, we examine the crime of apostasy...how a baby can be torn from its parents because a Muslim woman dared to marry a non-Muslim.

Religious freedom in Malaysia has been under the spotlight recently, with a string of disputes involving the country's non-Muslim minorities. The most high-profile is that of Siti Fatimah; she was born a Muslim but she married a Hindu man out of love. She calls herself Revathi, a Hindu name, and together the couple have a 15 month old baby girl.

But because she was living as a Hindu, Siti has been accused of apostasy - or deserting her religion. She's been detained at a Rehabilitation Centre, and her baby has been taken away. Her husband Suresh, who is banned from seeing both his wife and child, spoke to Everywoman about the battle to win back his family.

Joining Shiulie Ghosh to discuss the issue is Zainah Anwar from Sisters In Islam, and Farid Suffian Shuaib, Law Lecturer at Malaysia's International Islamic University.

Time Schedule (MAlaysia Time):

Too bad I cant understand what they said... Maybe video quality??? *GRIIN*

Bah, here's the lyrics..

Chocolate Syrup

Clean up the mess I've made today
I've left this time for good
Think of the good times that we had
Instead think of me as well

You like it when I
You like it when I make you
You love it when I
You love it when I make you
As though you hate it
When all this time you were pretending
It's sweet as chocolate
But not as sweet as hers

I'm better, better than that x2
I'm bigger, bigger than that x2

You're next, I'm glad that you're the same
Easy, I hope I won't be bored
It's like this, it won't take that much time
I'm coming, and you won't be late

You like it when I
You like it when I make you
You love it when I
You love it when I make you
As though you hate it
When all this time you were pretending
It's sweet as chocolate
But not as sweet as hers

I'm better, better than that x2
I'm bigger, bigger than that x2

Final Fantasy X - First Love

2007-03-09T01:00:00.000+08:00

Hahaha! Old story.. I was browsing the net, and found this... Boy! I have not been playing PS for a very long time now.. I am an avid fan of RPG game, esp Japanese animax and FFX was my last game before my lil C pop out to the world.

Geez... sometimes, it does make me feel so old now.. not so hi-tech mom anymore.. I remembered I played FFX during the wee of the mornings, just to 'kill' time before the baby arrived. Hubby said that my kid will be the first Sabahan manga animator when he comes out to the world and build his career.. hahahah!

Anyways, I found this movie on youtube.com. So sad lah, tho the guy who did this remix the whole movie... still so sad.. Love the song by Utada Hikaru, love the animation! *sniff*.. boy, I do get so emotional!.. maybe reminiscing those time...

Enjoy!

Artist: Utada Hikaru
Song: First Love - (ENglish Translation from partial japanese)

our last kiss
tasted like tobacco
a bitter and sad smell

tomorrow, at this time
where will you be?
who will you be thinking about?

you are always gonna be my love
even if I fall in love with someone once again
I'll remember to love
you taught me how
you are always gonna be the one
it's still a sad song
until I can sing a new song

the paused time is
about to start moving
there's many things that I don't want to forget about

tomorrow, at this time
I will probably be crying
I will probably be thinking about you

you will always be inside my heart
you will always have your own place
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
now and forever you are still the one
it's still a sad song
until I can sing a new song

you are always gonna be my love
even if I fall in love with someone once again
I'll remember to love
you taught me how
you are always gonna be the one
it's still a sad song
until I can sing a new song

Aisha Z. Abdullah : A Montessorian

2007-01-19T01:51:00.000+08:00

Excerp from the net:

PRIVATE KINDERGARTENS:
After having worked for five years as a lawyer, Pn Aisha Abdullah spent about RM12,000 to enroll in a Montessori Diploma course to become a kindergarten teacher.

She did it because she wanted a change in career that would enable her to spend more time with her children. She printed a stack of flyers and dropped them off at houses that had tricycles or toys near her kindergarten in Section 13, Shah Alam.

Her kindergarten, Childrens House, now caters to children between the ages of three and six and she charges about RM300 to RM350 per child a month.

The Montessori method of learning was founded in 1907 by Dr Maria Montessori, the first woman physician in Italy. She based her educational methods on scientific observation of children's learning processes. Guided by her reckoning that children teach themselves, Dr Montessori designed a ‘prepared environment’ in which children could freely choose from a number of ‘developmentally appropriate’ activities. Montessori emphasises learning through all five senses and not just through listening, watching or reading. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own pace and according to their choice of activities.

Pn Aisha says that the Montessori learning method is different from conventional pre-schools whereby children are taught how to hold a pencil and write.

She adds: “Most parents do not respect a child’s emotional and social development skills which extend beyond those tasks.”

“Before the age of six, a child is very ‘absorbent’ and this is a sensitive period when they are experiencing a window of opportunity to learn. They must be nurtured to love learning and that anything is achievable if they are allowed access to materials and the right environment.”

Although most of her teaching materials can be made, Pn Aisha has spent about RM60,000 to equip her kindergarten with teaching aids. She intends to promote the awareness of the Montessori method and hopes to attract more teachers into this field by developing a society of educators in the country.

Opportunities for fresh graduates

This year, she plans to open another centre and hire at least four teachers. “We need to look at their credentials as most of those who apply are without work experience,” she said. “However, those who have a genuine interest to learn are considered.”

Pn Aisha says that teachers should not expect much since they are only required to teach for half a day and need not work during school holidays. Fresh graduates can expect to earn about RM800 and up to RM1,500 as a principal, a career she says that is suitable for homemakers or part-time students.

Free The Books!!!

2006-11-09T00:43:00.000+08:00

Check out this website freethebooks.blogspot.com.

Make sure you read the list of books that are banned or restricted by the Kementerian Dalam Negeri in Johor.

In the list are Spongebob Squarepants, Read Aloud Children's Classics, Music for Sleepy Babies and the Wiggles Shop Wiggly Jukebox. Okay, you can fall on the floor and die laughing now.

Next, we have to organise some kind of protest for the rights of our children's to read Spongebob Squarepants and listen to Music for Sleepy Babies. Maybe we can sit down at a cafe, sip some coffee and read Spongebob and listen to the music. Then when they drag us away, we can wave our copies of Spongebob and scream,"FREEDOM! FREEDOM for SPONGEBOB!"

This is so the cool one!

Click below. Wait for the entire screen to load up with all four horses and a fence in front of them. Then click on each horse. Make sure your sound is on. Re-click on any horse to make it turn off or turn it back on again. Somebody did some real wizardry of programming to coordinate this! Try clicking on the horses from left to right then right to left then just one or two at a time ... It's fun and a good stress reliever.

Have fun! Do them in random order for some weird songs.

Know Your Rights ~ Malaysian Citizens

2006-10-19T00:19:00.000+08:00

I found this interesting RED BOOK from http://www.malaysiabar.org.my talks about our rights as Malaysian Citizen against Malaysian police.

Well, take heed and learn about our rights!
Check this out!

“It is unfortunate that most people are completely ignorant of their rights. They do not have the slightest idea of what the police can or cannot do.” ... Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz

KUALA LUMPUR, Thurs: More than 60 lawyers and representatives from NGOs, the US Embassy and the press gathered at the Bar Council Auditorium this morning, all for a very noble cause, to witness the birth of a Red Book or Buku Merah known as “Polis Dan Hak-Hak Asas Anda”. (Please click here to download the English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese versions of the RED BOOK)

Yeo Yang Poh, the President of the Bar Council, started his speech by thanking all those in attendance, in particular, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Bin Abdul Aziz, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department in charge of Law, for his valuable time to launch the Red Book. (read more)

A peep at the RED BOOK:

Beware of Fake Policemen

2006-10-12T14:26:00.000+08:00

Do you really know how does a Malaysian policeperson's badge looks like?

Here's a forwarded mail I received, tot its valuable info to share:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To: Ladies, be alert. It is happening in Penang !!

I used to receive forwarded emails regarding incidents of being 'disturbed' by a fake policeman but I don't really believe that until i met one last saturday.

It was 8.30am when I was driving at Jln Ayer Itam. I noticed a motorbike following me closely. Of course I didnt suspect anything bcos that is the main road to town.

However, at the Mobil petrol station, b4 SRJK Shang Wu, I turned left to Tmn Lumba Kuda & he followed.

This time he was riding the motorbike on my right & took out his handcuff and kept saying "Saya polis". I ignored him. Then at the tmn lumba kuda housing area he overtook my car & stopped his motorbike infront on me.

I stopped & waited till he got down from his bike then I drove off again. Unfortunately, we met again at the tuffclub traffic light. This time, he kept knocking at my window and asking me to co me out from my car. He also showed me a so called police ID card without photo or logo.

I'm very sure that he is not a genuine policeman. Even if he is a real one, and if I did break any traffic rules, he can just send me a summon without needing me to get down from my car.

So, I decided go drive to police station. He followed me till a few hundreds metre b4 I turned to the police station.

He is a medium size Malay guy, abt 165-170cm height. Riding Modenas
Kriss 100, PGN 74.

p/s: A REAL policeman ID card is light yellow in color with Logo & the word "polis diraja malaysia " in front. At the back, there will be a passport size photo, name & matriks number.

Hope this thing wont happen again and wont happen to any of you as well

Time to move on!

2006-10-11T01:09:00.000+08:00

Hi all,
Just to let you know that I am moving to my old blogspot. There may be no more updates in this site...

Why? hehehe.. I have upgraded my grinmamablues.blogspot.com to that beta thingy... so, trying to focus on that blog... till then...

ADIOS!

A loving memory of ROSE

2006-09-25T09:53:00.000+08:00

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.

"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids..."

"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know."

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began.

"We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing."

"There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day.. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die."

"We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!"

"There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight."

"Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Would old acquaintace be forget...

2006-09-11T04:01:00.000+08:00

I was just about to go to bed, when I spotted a friend's issue on his blog. He spoke of boy-girl relationship..

I received an sms from a childhood friend to inform me that there's a wedding invitation for me in her hand and would like to pass it to me. I asked if it's hers, but she denied and didnt explain further. So, we arranged our meeting at Kopi Bin, Damai.

While waiting for her, I met another old friend of mine, I know Willie when I entered Lower 6 in La Salle once upon a time. What a coincidence! So I persuaded Willie (and forget about whoever he was about to meet inside KopiBin) to join me for coffee, while waiting for Ronn. I know that Willie and Ronn are acquaintance, and normally it is Willie to update me with Ronn's latest news.

So a minute later, here came Ronn and she looked so blurr.. With her gaya sri ayu, she waved and sat with us. She passed me the red summon, so when I asked who's card. "It is someone you know," giving her sheepish smile.

"Lowell's?"

"Nope, he got married last month."

Without much questions asked, I unfold the envelop and saw Willie's name. "Huh? Hey, It's yours la," looking at Willie who was already smilling. I returned his smile and continued reading the card. Well, u see, normally Chinese Wedding Invitations are Hot RED in colour, so you gotta read slowly not to miss the lines...

Who's the bride,.. lemme see... "Rona Rina Thien"... Hey, I know that name.. huh? OMG!!! hahahha!!! HAhahaha!!

Okay, sorry guys. The bride was right infront of me! yeap!!! Acquantance I thought at first, turned out to be lovers.. hehehe.. I was suprised coz I know the lovely birds' background and never in my mind that they are getting married..and its soon!

The last time I met Willie was a day before my lil one arrived, during a Chap Goh Mei's party laster at a friend's place. And Rona was somewhere mid 2004 to pass her a friend's wedding invitation card. We try to keep intouch by sending sms greetings once in a while.. and Not once that I was informed they were dating.. To even recall how I reacted infront of them yesterday, before I was given the card, I treated as if they have not meet each other for a very long time...

Duh! Celine.. Celine.. !! Apalah ko nie!!..

To the lovely couple, Willie and Rona, this is for your both! (hope u'd read it)

May joy and peace surround you both,
Contentment latch your door,
May happiness be with you now;
God bless you evermore.
AMEN

... See you on your wedding day, 7th October 2006.

Picked pocket at Wisma Merdeka

2006-08-24T10:42:00.000+08:00

I just have to share this.. please read... and share if u have any experience...

Yesterday, lil C and I went shopping at Wisma Merdeka. Well, we arrived around 11.30am and decided to have light meal at KFC. It was very packed becoz of the school holidays. I managed to get a seat very close to the smaller entrance at the other end of KFC.

Happy-happy, joy-joy, lil C and myself were enjoying and amusing each other with each gigs. I remembered there's this guy (I think he is a pilak) came to me and started raising his voice, "Hey, duit ko jatuh!!! (you dropped your money)" pointing the floor. I startled and looked at where he was pointing, and saw RM1 on the floor. I picked it up, wanted to give it to the man but he was no where to be found. Being a good Samaritan, kununlah, I gave the money to the KFC waiter and told him what happened.

So, lil C and I continued our lunch and.... the guy came back. He again, spoke to me rudely," Manah sudah duit sayah?(Where's my money?)" with that pilak accent again... I didnt want to look at his ~~ugly~~ face, told him that I have given it to the waiter. Then I noticed that he was gripping few RM1s on his left hand.. so, I thought that maybe it WAS his money that dropped to the floor... But it was wierd the way he spoke and approached to me...

After KFC, we went to Tongs Supermarket. Spent at least an hour there browsing and selecting some clothes; went to the cashier for payment.. My blood did rushed, as I was going through my bag (more like lil C's bagpack)... I couldnt find my purse. I stopped and started thinking again.. and searched... Nope... My purse wasnt there!!! I try not to panic coz I didnt want to lose focus on lil C. Told the cashier what could have happened and left the Supermarket.

Where could it be? Did I misplace it somewhere... ?? Taking a deep breath, carrying lil C in my arms... I thought I didnt go anywhere after KFC and that was the only time I took out my purse. Then, that pilak guy's wierd action struck me!!!! OMG!!! I had been picked pocketted!!!! SIALAN BETUL!!!!

I have heard stories about how people being tricked and the kind of trick used... but it never triggered me that at that point of time, IT WAS ME was tricked by them!!! They were so good coz they knew exactly how to distract their prey's attention..!!!

I did all the necessary.. reported to the security (which I think didnt help much as the ~~idiotic~~, arrogant chief security told me that these happened almost every other day and the most of the victims were mother with young children.. He - ~~the idiot~~ - even dared to tell me dat he knew these bandits... ???? How come nothing is done???? cilakak betul!!!) Hadda call dear hubby to come to Wisma coz I dont even have a single cent to pay for parking fee..

Went to report the incident at the Police Station, my poor lil C was sleeping in the car. I told the officer about what happened.. They told me that the security department of Wisma Merdeka has never reported such cases to them, which they should have... So inefficient!!! How can our country develop if they behave like this, even the security system in our state is not proper!!

hmmm...

Well, I thanked God that my lil C and myself were safe when that happened.. Every other things can be replaced but not him nor my safety.

I even have friends who told me, "Barutau, itu la nda careful" which in my heart, i told myself that when it happened to you dear buddy, just be alert coz it can turn to a different outcome, beyond our expectation!

So, my dearest friends.. Just remember, Dont wait for something like things to happen... be alert at all time... especially when you are with younger kids with you.

p/s I even heard tricks like, that person is asking for the time, when u look at your watch, they snatch ur wallet/bag.
p/s another trick is when the person would rub your legs up and down motion to distract ur attention(wierd ~ but did happened to dear hubby, thank God he was alert and held his wallet tightly)

Keep in mind that They always work in group, sometimes it is also dangerous to resist.. SCARYY!!!

Dear Government, I plead you to BANTERAS ALL THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!!! Please!! For our safety!!

How much would u change in 3 years?
