FW: A CHALLENGE TO HOME MINISTER- HISHAMUDDIN

PRESS STATEMENT 03.07.09

RE: A CHALLENGE TO HOME MINISTER- HISHAMUDDIN

Earlier this week the Home Minister had issued a statement in Parliament amongst others that I had left the Country on the 28th November 2007 to lobby International support and to make efforts to meet leaders of the LTTE.

The above information has apparently been obtained from intelligence reports.

The baseless and unfounded allegation of Hishamuddin that I had made attempts to make contact with LTTE is absolutely ridiculous. I challenge Hishamuddin to provide the proof to the Malaysian public openly.

If that was the case why did the British government grant me political asylum status under the United Nation 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugee owing to fear of persecution by the Malaysian government for social activities that was carried out by HINDRAF in Malaysia. For the public’s information, LTTE is a proscribed organization both in England and India. In that case even the other Hindraf lawyers who had faced illegal incarceration are equally exonerated from such malicious allegation.

On 5th December 2007 it was the Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail who made this unfounded allegation in an open Court bail application hearing against innocent Hindraf supporters. Thereafter on the 13th December 2007 the Inspector General of Police and the Former Prime Minister made similar unfounded allegations against HINDRAF Lawyers.

When challenged to prove those allegations they went mute and the facts were twisted that the Lawyers had raised religious sentiments when the Lawyers had merely advocated the rights of Freedom of Religion under Article 11 of the Federal Constitution and Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.


I have always maintained that I am a Human Rights Advocate and have never deviated in my duty to uphold the Malaysian Federal Constitution and protect the Rule of Law.

I have no fear of the UMNO regime and its prison and have proven myself when I voluntarily denied bail upon arrest on a politically motivated sedition charge on 23rd November 2007.

I now challenge Hishamuddin to do the following:

a) immediately issue a fresh International Passport under my name ( I will not accept the old passport which has been invalidated and most likely “marked invalidated” by the British Immigration Office);

b) arrest and charge me in open court for treason upon my return for the alleged “attempt to make contact with LTTE”


The “Criminal” Charge would give me an opportunity to prove that this Government had no evidence whatsoever and the whole works of the system right from the former Prime Minister, Attorney General, Inspector General of Police to the current leaders have lied and misled the Malaysian public and deliberately demonized HINDRAF, my colleagues and me.

If Hishamuddin fails to do the above he should publicly apologize to all Malaysians and Parliamentarians for misleading them.

Chairman

kampung Buah Pala,penang,Where is Indian Unity?

Well put.I share similar views.The real culprits are the Gerakan and the BN cronies.Im surprised why none of the Makkal Sakthi or Hindraf leaders questioning them.The protest against the Penang govt make no sense at all or is there any hidden agenda?.Im very suspicious of the Hindraf leaders.One prominent Hindraf leader with UMNOs support opened a new political party lately,and throwed his support to the BN government.Another leader is in the process of opening one more partyas per todays STAR news paper.We are so handful already flooded with so many Indian base parties, mean to say you could win a seat without associating any prominent political party.My advise is this,try to unite among yourselves than preach us.Dont think Indians are fools and take us for granted.

What Have You Taught Your Children Today? ~"Thavamalar Govindasamy"

Parents are children's first and best teachers. Children learn many things formally and informally from the rest of the world but parents are the only ones whom they look to for learning to live right. The best gift we could give our children is the excellence edge.

It is age old wisdom that children don't do what we tell them to do but they do what we do. Hence the moment we become parents we have to examine everything we do and reengineer ourselves to become the role model of perfection. Everytime we tell a lie, we are teaching our children to lie. Everytime we gossip, we are teaching our children to gossip. Everytime we say negative things we are teaching our children to be negative. Everytime we blame others for something that's gone wrong in our lives we are teaching our children to always blame and never take responsibility.

Parents, I invite you to try this. Everyday when you wake up, ask yourself what you would like to teach your children today. Read a book or an article on the subject and make sure you teach your children the subject. At the end of the day before retiring to bed ask yourself whether any of your actions or words throughout the day have contradicted what you taught your children. If the answer is yes, you have to set out to be more congruent the next day. You will find your character improving tremendously as a result of this practise and your children will also turn out great. They will become very close to you and be more open to discuss anything with you.

Our children are mirrors of who we are.

Let's Be Good Parents!

The old tamil movie influence debate

Last Tuesday, I caught a Minnal FM programme where listeners were asked to give their views on a statement by the Consumer Association of Penang that cinema influence was contributing to the social ills among Indians in the country. The listeners views were mixed with most of the younger ones rejecting CAP's statement while the the not-so-young adults supporting CAP. The younger listeners said they were level headed and could adopt the positive and reject the negative (crime as in parang wielding). One not so young listener pointed out how as a youth she was taken in by the romanticism of the `Bobby' Hindi movie and was totally spellbound by the scenes. She described how youngsters are so impressionable that they start emulating what they saw in a movie, the moment they step out of the cinema.

Recently when asked if there was a link between the overly crime based Indian cinema and the escalating crime rate among Indians in the country, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu shot back: "There are a billon people in India watching these movies and they are not affected."Could it be that these movies while being regarded by those in India as merely an entertainment, had somehow filled the cultural vacuum evident in the lives of Malaysian Indians.

Being cut off from the Indian mainstream culture embellished with its wide array of folk and classical music, art, literature and drama; the only avenue left for Malaysian Indians is the all encompassing cinema.Herein lies the danger as cinema being unregulated by the intellectual, self realised and wise guardians of Indian culture; has been influenced by profit mongers who have no qualms about feeding the frenzy of wanton joy seeking youth. No thought is given to the education and self realisation of youths in movies (except for a few rare producers who use their artistic authority to make excellent movies that are educational, inspirational and informative) .

Police sources accept CAP's views pointing out that many of today's Indian gangsters were emulating Indian movies in the way they are concealing parangs at the back of their shirt or killing victims by slitting their throats with the swish of a parang.

CAP which has long been on a crusade to stop alcohol abuse among the Indian community could also vouch on the movie influence of alcohol drinking among youths. While in the earlier Indian movies drinking was portrayed as taboo, today's movies promote drinking as an accepted social norm in Indian society. The influence is so great now that Indian school boys as young as 13 years of age are taking to drinking alcohol. Indian pubs are welcoming their patrons to bring their whole family along to partake in the `good food' and `cinema songs' delivered by their resident music bands.The debate goes on but what is to be done to ensure that our youth are educated in the art of intelligently appreciating Indian movies? Will it help if parents give their children a strong grounding in some form of Indian folk or classical artform during their formative years (five to fifteen)?

I bet most of us face stress more then relaxation, I hope this article will be to guide us to reduce our stress to lower level.


Everybody experiences stress. A certain amount is even good for you. Too much stress can damage your physical, emotional, and mental health. Since it is not always possible to prevent stress, we all need to learn how to reduce it. Choose among the following techniques what you think will work best for you. Make them part of your everyday life.


1. PREVENT IT. How much stress do you cause just by putting unnecessary pressure on yourself? Do you over react to little things that annoy you? Every time you let anger or frustration take control, it drains away good energy and sidetracks you from more important things. Obviously, you can't always control what goes on around you, but you can control how you respond. Try a little more patience next time you get caught in traffic and you'll avoid unnecessary stress.


2. SET GOALS. Some people drift through life going from crisis to crisis letting stress build up. If you set goals, you can take better control of your life. Think where you'd like to be in 1 year or 5 years. Be realistic by starting with small, daily goals, then build up from there. Re-evaluate your goals from time to time and be prepared to adjust them as changes occur in your life.


3. ESTABLISH PRIORITIES. Do you often feel rushed because "there's no time"? Why not regulate the pace of your life? Plan ahead. Make a list of tasks in order of priority. Concentrate on what's really important to you and drop those things that only waste your energy.


4. TAKE TIME OUT. Spend a few minutes alone each day to break the routine. This helps ease stress and gives you a better perspective of what's around you. Set aside time during the week for recreation, hobbies, or exercise. Regular exercise is an excellent way to reduce stress. Physical fitness gives you a feeling of well-being by relieving tension and increasing productivity.


5. HAVE FAITH. Peace of mind comes to those who trust in God's power to lessen life's burdens through prayer.


6. THINK POSITIVELY. Having a positive attitude will help you assert yourself and feel more in control. You waste energy if you constantly criticize yourself or set unrealistic goals. Negative thoughts generally produce negative results. Instead of saying, "I can't," practice saying, "I can." You'll be surprised how much more you can accomplish.


7. HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR. Laughter can be one of the best medicines for stress. Being able to laugh at yourself and the world can break tension and give you some relief from stress.


8. COMMUNICATE. Suffering in silence only increases the stress you build up inside. Talk over your feelings and concerns with your family, a friend, counselor, preacher, or health professional. "Thinking out loud" like this not only relieves stress, but may also shed new light on your problems. Learn to listen and consider suggestions with an open mind.


9. MAKE DECISIONS. Most people have no idea how much stress they create for themselves by resisting change. They wait, hoping a situation will go back to the way it was. Why wait when you have choices and could make a decision? When it's time to change old habits and move forward, make your own change for the better.


10. GET SUPPORT. Do you sometimes find problems too personal to discuss? Or feel they may be too much of a burden on others? Find a support group in your community. Remember, you're not alone. Other people with similar problems understand what you're going through without the need for lengthy explanations. They share your concerns and they want to learn how to cope with stress, too.
