Get to know Abdul Razak Musa Better - One of Malaysia best comedian Lawyer

The recent court hearing for Teoh Beng Hock death case on 18 August 2010 has help Malaysia to discover a special talent for one of its "so call" top lawyer, who act for The Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). After this screen play, MACC has got itself a new acronym, that is Malaysia Associations of Circus Clowns. Thanks to Abdul Razak Musa.

So, let review some of his key performance that indisputably earns him this title of chief Clown:

Abdul Razak Musa suggested that Teoh Beng Hock ‘strangled himself’ and was ‘depressive'. Not only so, he was determine to demonstrate to the public how it can be done when challenged by the Gobind Singh Deo, the lawyer for Teoh’s family. Unfortunately, he failed in self-strangling himself.

In his attempt to discredit Pornthip's professional qualification by citing that Pornthip's graduating university; Mahidol University, was not recognized by the Malaysia Government. He failed to realized that Mahidol University's Global Ranking is higher than any Malaysia Universities. It is unfortunate that Abdul Razak Musa did not reveal where he was graduated. He should have the chance when asked by Pornthip: "are you really a lawyer?" Instead of replying that he may look young, but has over 24 years of experience, he should just state where he graduated because 24 years of experience still make he a fool.

Abdul Razak Musa classic question of asking Pornthip if she ever has the experience of jumping off a building? This is what we can expect from a lawyer with 24 years of experience??

Abdul Razak Musa's attempted to discredit Pornthip failed miserably, he should know that Pornthip has been named the "Most Trusted Individual in all of Thailand (according to a Readers’ Digest Trust survey last year) Abdul Razak Musa should have commissioned Reader Digest to conduct another survey, title the most entertaining Lawyer in the world, and we would gladly nominate him.

This is another interesting collection of Malaysia Boleh tales and we can look forward to more when thousand of Malaysian graduated from Malaysia education systems.

Mr. DPM, What's wrong to have similar stand with the Opposition?

I read the Star Newspaper on 4 August and find it amazing that MCA has been ticked off by the deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia for singing in tune to the opposition calls for the lifting of the ban on the use of the word Allah.

MCA has quickly responded that they are not making the same stand as DAP, they are just voicing out the wish of the NGO because the issue has not been resolved since it was brought up last year.

Hahaha..funny right? MCA is good at playing with words. But, so what if MCA share the same view with DAP or any opposition parties. You should not object just for the seek of objecting. Malaysia politician should be more mature in thinking. So MCA president should reply to DPM: "so what? This issue has not been resolved after 1 year, it will not get resolved if the top leaders refuse to look seriously look into it. What do you mean leave it to the court? Had the court not given it verdict?"

The court verdict is that word Allah cannot be banned. That is the decision of the court.

Just because the opposition say this, the government must say that? So, just because the opposition calls for Malaysian to be more environmental friendly, such as No Plastic bags on Saturday in the State of Selangor (Oope..the opposition is the government for Selangor State Government), the Government (Federal) refuse to follow suit? Shame..shame..shame...

Anyway, it look like the opposition is a more innovative and responsible government to be. :)

Keep Bumi-Housing Discount, not 7% but increase to 15%, Terms and Condition applys

The recent suggestion by Petaling Jaya (Utara) MP Tony Pua Kiam Wee for the abolishment of bumiputera discounts on properties worth more than RM500,000 in Selangor was not well-received.

I think to ask for total removal of the Bumi discount is too much that many Bumi cannot accept. But, think deeper, if a bumi is able to afford a RM500,000 house, he is no difference from many non-bumi. I think he would feel better, higher ego and self esteem that he is now at par with many of his non-bumi in the neighborhood. Otherwise, we will continue to view these staying in the same Taman as those "special" aided few.

Instead of offering 7% discount across the board, I would proposed reduce it to 2% discount and the remaining 5% put aside by the developer in a special fund for 10% discount for Housing costing less than RM100,000 or 15% for RM50,000 houses. The main objective of the Bumi-discount is to help those in need, so that many are able to afford a house. Asking for this discount to be extended to non-bumi, who are many equally in need of help may prove to be hard to sallow for many Malays, who are still racist to view these as their special rights. For those who think as such, truly view themselves as Malay and not Malaysian. Thus, until they are able to accept that Helps should be offer to all in need, irregardless of race, then Malaysia can be united. Otherwise, the 1Malaysia concept failed.

My suggestion: For Houses costing RM500,000 above, Bumi get 2% discount (RM10,000), remaining RM25,000 set aside. For Housing costing between RM300,000 to RM499,999 - 5% discount and remaining 2% set aside.
For Housing costing below RM300,000, full 7% discount and for housing below RM100,000 (10% discount) and those below RM50,000 (15% discount) These extra discount (10% and 15%) are subsidized by those Bumi who buy properties above RM 300,000.

In this way, it is the richer Bumi helping the poorer Bumi, no trace of any racial element. I am not asking for your right removal, but asking you (the richer one) to help your poorer brother! Don;t you want to be noble?

Who is Keshwinder Singh?

Who are you? Kesh what Singh? I never heard of you before? What real achievements have you got before you are given the opportunity to contest in Malim Nawar state seat?

You think you really win because of you? I don't think so. The same apply to many Pakatan elected representatives. You win in the 308 Election, because the People are sick of Barisan Nasional, no because of you. You are voted in because you are with DAP, PKR or PAS. Seriously, anyone stand for election during 8 March has a high change of winning, simply because the people just wish for a change. It has nothing to do with you!

On March 8, I went into the poll station and put a cross to someone I do not know, it is very simple, just look for the BN logo and cross the other box. So, any candidates that does not belong to BN has a good chance of winning.

What do you mean by saying:"I now realise that only Barisan can bring progress and prosperity to the people. I hope this decision will help me serve my constituents better," WAIT....You does not have the support of the people of Malim Nawar!

It is fine if you now love Zimbry and BN, because the people can also choose not to love you. Resign and let the people decide. If you think you have the support of the people, fear not. DAP can put up anyone and I am sure DAP's candidate will win.

So, Mr. Kesh What...what..Singh? Be a man and contest again to see if you really win.

Nazri Aziz: Why are we doubting the quality of local universities?

June 15, 2010: Nazri Aziz in his explanation for the reduce scholarships (from 1,500 to 300)for overseas studies says that more students will be placed in local universities, with the exception of those obtaining a place in top university in critical field would be sent overseas.

This once again signal that the Government is running low of money. No more money?? where is all the money??

It is sad that the Government has to resort to denying its bright citizens the opportunities for elite education. What is our current Government doing for its citizen??

The Minister lame reasons are: "The intention is, firstly, to reduce expenditure in sending student overseas. Secondly, we must ensure that local universities has bright students. Why are we doubting the quality of local universities?

I find it hard to understand our Minister's mentality. Why send bright student to low graded local universities? Is it because bright students can help bring up the local university standard? If this argument is accepted, no wonder Malaysia remains where it is today.

Why doubt our local universities? I don't know except in the same paper (the Star 15 June 2010) it is reported that Nor Ashman (the youngest son of Najib) was studying in Georgetown University in Washington DC two years ago. Why was he no studying in University Malaya, or USM, UTM etc?

Please make it a point that all Ministers can only send their children to local universities to help lift the universities standard before denying our brights students. Anyway, I think our brights students can easily get scholarships from others countries. Just don't blame them later and label them as ungrateful.

Ibrahim Demands Jala quit over "bankrupt" remark, Shall we vote?

Ibrahim Ali has demanded that Datuk Seri Idris Jala resign from the Cabinet over his earlier remarks that the Malaysia would be bankrupt if subsidies were not cut.

hmm.....interesting...While the Government intention to cut subsidies was not really supported by the people, mainly because the current cost of living is already high. We are not objecting to the removal of subsidies, if it is seriously necessary. What we are furious is that the Government has not been successful in curbing corruption, where a bigger saving would help cushion the people impact to raising cost. So, before we talk about removing subsidies, please start to remove those deem corrupted Government officers. btw...what happen to PKFTZ?

Back to Ibrahim Ali proposal. Datuk Seri Idris Jala is not a politician, he does not play all these games, we can't blame him. He is put in a position to get things done, because no one else in the so call Cabinet seem intelligent enough to get work done. In Malaysia, you can be a Minister even if you do not have sufficient academic qualification, it is not important, what more important is you know who and who.

So, should Datuk Seri Idris Jala resign? I don't think so. But I am wondering who has more supporters? Imagining that Ibrahim and Jala both put together to contest for a state seat, who do you think will win?

Dr M: Make Sports Betting Legal. How about Prostitution?

It was reported in 15 June 2010 theStar newspaper that Former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has supported the legalization of Sports Betting, saying that this will help legalize the industry as well as thwart illegal gambling. He added that Sport betting is for the non-Muslim and it is their right to gamble and the Government could not forbid them from gambling. It was also supported by backbencher Datuk Bung Mokhtar.

This is interesting as after reading this, leads me to think that prostitution may one day be legalized in Malaysia. Going along the rationale of thinking. Legalizing Prostitution would help legalize the industry as well as thwart illegal prostitution. Prostitution is for the non-Muslim and it is their right to seek prostitute service and the Government cannot forbid them from prostituting.

Going further, maybe one day, drug may be easily available. Instead of blaming poor enforcement, where it seems that the authorities are fighting a losing game, the Government can easily turn the table around and start "legalizing" many things. Starting with sports betting, maybe prostitution. WHY NOT?? Singapore has done it. Amsterdam is attracting many tourists. Legalizing Prostitution helps the Government to keep AIDs / HIV at bay, increase Tax collection, increase jobs opportunities, attract more tourists, earn more Forex.

Similarly, apply this to anything current illegal, look like the Government has more to gain.

The Government seems no long keen in maintaining the moral level of its citizen, she is more interested in increasing tax collection.

Would legalizing Sport betting put a stop to illegal bookies? I don't think so. Malaysia has legalized 4D prediction game, you have Sports Toto, Magnum , Damacai and well as those in Sarawak. But, it does not eliminate illegal underground bookies.

So, with legalized sports betting, you are opening up the accessibility for more and younger Malaysian to gamble. At present, those who wish to engage in Sports betting would need at least a credit card to transact online, but with easy accessibility to outlets and cash, people can easily gamble away their hard-earning money. And it seems the Government does not bother about the future social problems that it may create.

So, to sum it, if you can legalized something illegal now, then there is nothing really illegal, it just depend on how skillful and tough negotiators a businessman can be. If one day, someone wish to make drug consuming legalized and willing to donate a few billions to the Government and using the same argument, What will Malaysia end up as?

Sigh!! This is Malaysia lah.
