Najib Walked Into An Inquisition With His Eyes Closed

By MT Webmaster On Oct 27, 2018

Najib is facing many charges. He must go to court and rip the Prosecution’s case to shreds. And unless the court says Najib is guilty, then he has to be presumed to be innocent according to the spirit of Pakatan Harapan’s ‘Rule of Law’ doctrine. But then even if the court says Najib is not guilty, the Pakatan Harapan people will not accept that and will still insist Najib is guilty.

NO HOLDS BARRED 

Raja Petra Kamarudin

Do you believe that God exists? Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Do you believe that the Bible is the Word of God?

If you answer ‘no’ to all or to one of the above during an inquisition you would be pronounced a heretic and would be sentenced to death. An inquisition is not about evidence to support your belief. It is about whether you believe or not. And a ‘no’ answer is punished with death.

Actually, the onus is on those who believe in the existence of God to prove that God does exist. Since you, and not me, are making a claim regarding God’s existence, then it is your job to prove the existence of God, not my job to prove that God does not exist.

And the same goes for the belief that Jesus is the Son of God. How do you know that Jesus is the Son of God? Because the Books of the New Testament say so? Did Jesus write those Books? If not, then who wrote those Books? Has Paul ever met Jesus? How then does Paul know what Jesus said if he never met Jesus other than the voices he heard in his head? If today people claim they hear voices in their heads would they not be locked up?

The foundation of Christianity is the belief in the crucifixion and the resurrection and this belief is based on faith and not evidence

And that is why I do not believe in Christianity, Jesus or the Bible. It is because no one can come forward with evidence to support their beliefs. In fact, they cannot even show us evidence that Jesus is not a myth — or whether there is a historical Jesus and a mythical Jesus and both have been mistakenly taken as one and the same.

That, is the phenomena called faith and belief. When belief is supported with evidence we call it fact but when belief lacks evidence we call it faith. So, in essence, faith is the opposite of fact and faith lacks evidence.

The same goes with the belief that Najib Tun Razak stole billions of 1MDB’s money and that he is behind (or involved in) three murders. If is a belief that has been trumpeted for so many years that that belief has now turned into a sort of religion.

Pakatan Harapan supporters do not wish for facts and evidence to interfere with their beliefs

Just as you cannot turn people from their belief in Jesus and the Bible, you also cannot turn people from their belief that Najib stole billions of 1MDB’s money and that he is somehow linked to three murders.

Najib has to accept this reality and not continue to try to convince people of his innocence. Those who believe Najib is guilty of stealing billions of 1MDB’s money and that he is behind three murders will not change their belief even if Najib does 100 interviews.

This issue has gone beyond talk-shows and interviews. It is now a matter before the courts. In talk-shows and interviews, Najib will be asked to show evidence of his innocence (like what Tun Dr Mahathir asked him to do) while, in court, the Prosecution needs to show evidence to prove Najib’s guilt.

Najib faced an inquisition dressed up as an Aljazeera interview and in an inquisition you are already presumed guilty 

What Najib faced yesterday in his Aljazeera interview was an inquisition. They wanted to crucify Najib (and in an inquisition they have already decided you are guilty and they just want you to admit with your own mouth that you are guilty).

The Aljazeera interview was not meant to help Najib clear his name. It was meant to prove to the world that Najib is guilty of all the allegations against him. It was a ‘you are guilty, now prove your innocence’ session.

Anwar Ibrahim and Mahathir also faced the same thing. They crucified Anwar and Mahathir and made them look bad. Anwar could not answer a simple question as to whether he is gay while Mahathir could not answer the question regarding the allegations of corruption against him.

In the interview Anwar was asked three times whether he is gay and he refused to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’

When asked, three times, whether he is gay, Anwar refused to say either ‘yes’ or ‘no’. When asked about the allegations of corruption against him, Mahathir replied he has never been charged for any corrupt act (and since he was never charged that means he is not corrupt).

I suppose since Chin Peng was never tried for any terrorist act that means he was not a CT (Communist Terrorist) and never killed anyone.

The Prosecution needs to prove that Najib is guilty of all the charges against him. Najib just needs to raise reasonable doubt. That should be the focus and the task ahead. Does Najib have evidence to prove his innocence? If he does then the Prosecution’s case collapses and Najib walks free.

Regarding the three murders that they say Najib was involved in, it is now up to the IGP to gather the evidence and to send it to the AG to decide whether to arrest and charge Najib for these murders.

Gopal Sri Ram will need to prove with tangible evidence and not mere hearsay that Najib is guilty

Unless they arrest and charge Najib for three murders, I will insist he is not guilty. I will also insist Najib is not guilty because this was what the one-time Director of the Special Branch personally told me. And they are anti-Najib so why would they tell me Najib is not guilty of murder unless he is not guilty?

Nevertheless, even if the IGP or AG announces that Najib is not guilty of three murders, the Pakatan Harapan supporters will not believe it and will still believe he is guilty of murder. So why go before Aljazeera to try to clear your name when the result will be zero?

Najib is facing many charges. He must go to court and rip the Prosecution’s case to shreds. And unless the court says Najib is guilty, then he has to be presumed to be innocent according to the spirit of Pakatan Harapan’s ‘Rule of Law’ doctrine. But then even if the court says Najib is not guilty, the Pakatan Harapan people will not accept that and will still insist Najib is guilty.

Khairy: New national car project regressive, backward

Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin says a new national car project will not be environmentally friendly, and will cost the government a lot of money.

GEORGE TOWN: A Barisan Nasional (BN) MP today criticised Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s announcement that Malaysia plans to start a new national car project.

Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin said given the scrapping of public transport projects like the MRT3, any plans for a new national car were regressive and backward.

He said starting a new national car project was not only unfriendly to the environment in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, it was also bound to cost the government a lot of money which should be used to develop the public transport system.

“Unless this project produces fully electric cars, I do not see the benefits to the people, economy and environment.

“It is also dependent on our ability to achieve economies of scale. If the production scale is small, the targeted economic impact may not be achieved,” he said in a statement.

Khairy said the Cabinet must fine-tune the proposal before agreeing to proceed with the project.

“However, it is my hope that time and resources are given to upgrade our public transport system, such as cooperation with the private sector in improving last-mile connectivity, for instance the e-hailing solution by using cars and motorcycles.

“They should also carry out a holistic feasibility study, including how to reduce costs for the reinstated MRT3 project in the future, or by using a more cost-effective system such as the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) which is not just centred in the Klang Valley,” he said.

Khairy said since 1984, the government had channelled financial assistance to Proton, including easy loans and grants totalling RM15.3 billion.

“A project like this will also burden the people with additional costs, through the excise duties amounting to 105%. This burdens users who wish to buy other brands of vehicles aside from the national car,” he added.

Mahathir said earlier today that he plans to start another national car project, after Proton’s takeover by a Chinese company last year.

He told participants at the annual Nikkei conference in Tokyo that he had started Proton in hopes that the company would remain under local ownership.

“Now it’s been sold to a Chinese company, so it is no longer a national car.

“Our ambition is to start another national car, perhaps with the help of partners from Southeast Asia like Thailand, Japan or Korea, as they have the capacity to produce good quality cars saleable in the world market,” he said.

Khairy: Is Putrajaya’s new car project even a ‘national car’?

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 — Malaysia’s latest car project should not be called a “national car” at all since Putrajaya said it will not be funded by public funds but by private investments, shadow finance minister Khairy Jamaluddin said today.

In a session with Damansara MP Tony Pua at the Youth Economic Forum 2018 today, the Rembau MP also pointed out that the term “national car” comes with certain connotations, and the government should not repeat the mistake it made with the first marque Proton.

If you open a Malaysian company manufacturing a car, that isn’t a national car. If a private foreign company builds the car here, that isn’t a national car. A national car comes with certain connotations,” said Khairy.

“If it comes from the mouth of the prime minister, it will come with government assistance, whether as a government company or preferential import arrangements which shielded Proton for many years.

“It could come with research and development grants which we gave billions to Proton, these are taxpayers’ money,” he added, after being asked by the moderator on his opinions about the issue.

Furthermore, he pointed out that national cars will have an impact on national behaviour based on what has happened with Proton when it was first manufactured in the 1980s.

The former Umno Youth chief pointed out that import excise was raised to protect Proton which affected the public from purchasing imported vehicles and also changed the behaviour pattern of the government so it would not invest in public transportation.

“We are open to things like Dyson opening a manufacturing plant in Singapore. Call it a car, not a national car.

“Tun also said that a national car is essential to learn technology, but there are other ways to learn technology without a national car,” said Khairy, referring to Dr Mahathir.

Earlier, Pua had said that the national car would not involve public money, but he finally conceded to Khairy’s point of view, to the applause of the gathered crowd.

The two had also bantered with each other on the various topics, much to the delight and laughter of the audience.

Earlier this week, International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Ong Kian Ming said Putrajaya has received 21 proposals from both local and foreign firms for the third national car project, up from the previous 14 announced earlier.

Pernah Fikir Kenapa Pengemis Asyik Tidur? Bukan Kerana Mereka Malas Tapi Ini Sebabnya...

BY ASHIQIN ROSSELLY — 23 OCT 2018

Terdapat dalil-dalil yang menceritakan perihal tidur dan mengantuk ini tentera Allah.

Tidur merupakan salah satu cara untuk seseorang itu merehatkan tubuh badannya

Hal ini telah dikhabarkan oleh Allah SWT di dalam kitab-Nya yang suci:

Image viaSAYS

Menurut Imam Ibn Kathir ketika mentafsirkan ayat ini, tidur itu adalah memutuskan pergerakan bagi tujuan merehatkan diri daripada banyak bergerak dan berjalan pada urusan kehidupan bagi menempuh waktu siang. (Tafir Ibn Kathir, 307/8).

Selepas seharian melakukan pelbagai aktiviti yang menjadikan badan dan otak kita menjadi lemah dan penat, kita harus tidur sebagai cara untuk rehatkan diri kita. Namun perasankah kita bahawa pengemis-pengemis sering tidur sama ada di kaki lima mahupun di lorong terpencil, tidak kira pagi, petang mahupun malam.

Seorang pengguna Facebook, Afnan Rosli telah membuat satu perkongsian perihal tidur dan mengantuk yang dikatakan merupakan tentera Allah SWT. Bahkan terdapat juga dalil-dalil yang menceritakan tentang perkara ini.

Baca perkongsian penuh di bawah:

Tadi lepas pos artworks client, mata saya tertangkap sosok tubuh kurus kering keletihan sedang tidur di kaki lima depan pejabat pos.

Bila tengok beliau tidur dengan nyenyaknya tengah-tengah panas terik tepi jalan yang bising dan sesak ni, saya teringat zaman-zaman saya merempat tidur menumpang masjid dan wakaf taman dulu.

Pernah tak terfikir kenapa pengemis asyik tidur saja?

Bukan mereka pemalas, wallahi, orang-orang ni adalah orang yang paling rajin kalau betul-betul di beri peluang. Tapi di sebalik tidur mereka itu ada satu bebanan yang Teramat Besar tertanggung di jiwa dan fikiran mereka.

Mereka tidur kerana nak rehat dari Dunia Realiti, kerana Dunia mimpi lebih melegakan dari Realiti.

Dulu masa belajar ada sorang kawan saya ni, kerja dia asyik tiduuur je, dari pagi ke petang, dari petang sampai ke pagi. Rupa-rupanya beliau tidur sebab taknak fikirkan masalah Ibu Bapa dia yang bakal Bercerai. Dan nasib adik-adik beliau yang masih kecil.

Image viaIslamidia

Masa saya merempat dulu pernah saya jumpa pakcik yang asyik tidur jee. Bila di tanya, dia jawab, dia tidur sebab lapar. Maka bila terlalu lapar dia akan tidur dengan harapan masa akan berlalu tanpa dia rasa sangat. Bila dah malam biasanya akan ada makanan di masjid. Maka bolehlah alas perut sikit.

Ada orang tidur sebab rindu. Rindukan orang yang dicintai. Tak boleh nak contact. Maka dia tidur moga-moga kekasih dia datang dalam mimpi dan berbicara. Dapatlah melepaskan rindu.

Bila saya kaji balik, rupanya banyak dalil-dalil yang menceritakan perihal tidur dan mengantuk ini tentera Allah.

Antaranya:

1. PERANG BADAR.

Waktu perang Badar umat Islam keluar bukan untuk berperang sebenarnya. Jadinya kelengkapan senjata yang mereka bawa tu bukan untuk berperang pun. Tambah pula bilangan umat Islam Jauh terlalu sedikit di bandingkan dengan Tentera Kafir yang lengkap bersenjata memang dah bersedia untuk perang.

Maka malam sebelum perang tu, tentera Islam masing-masing ada rasa keresahan dan takut. Mereka pun manusia biasa juga kan. Jadi Allah nak tenteramkan hati mereka, Allah hantar mengantuk. Semua umat Islam jadi mengantuk dan tidur dengan nyenyaknya. Kecuali Nabi kita yang Bersolat dan Berdoa hingga Subuh.

2. ASHABUL KAHFI.

Sama juga peristiwa 7 Pemuda Ashabul Kahfi yang lari ke dalam gua demi menyelamatkan iman Mereka. Allah hantarkan tentera Tidur untuk selamatkan pemuda ni. Hingga mereka tertidur bertahun-tahun.

3. CUBAAN MEMBUNUH RASULULLAH.

Begitu juga peristiwa ketika Nabi nak keluar berhijrah ke Madinah. Orang kafir dah kepung seluruh rumah Nabi. Bersedia untuk bunuh Nabi. Allah hantar tentera mengantuk hingga tertidur semua Pahlawan Kafir yang nak bunuh nabi.

Banyak lagi kisah-kisah Tentera tidur Allah ni. Maka lepas ni kalau nampak pengemis ke, orang gila ke tidur tepi jalan, jangan terus Judge.

Kalau di siasat betul-betul saya pasti! MESTI akan jumpa satu tragedi atau bebanan besar yang mereka sedang tanggung. Cuma Mimpi itu satu-satunya tempat mereka mampu pergi untuk rehatkan jiwa seketika.

Waktu saya kena Depression beberapa bulan haritu pun saya tidur je pagi ke petang, petang ke pagi. Kerana beban itu tak tertanggung dek akal waras kita.

Moga anda dapat sesuatu.

Muslim activist says Marina silent on right to wear hijab

FMT Reporters

PETALING JAYA: A Muslim women’s group who has been championing the right of hotel workers to wear hijab has criticised Marina Mahathir, accusing the daughter of former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad of being selective in defending Muslim women’s rights.

Dr Rafidah Hanim Mokhtar, who leads the International Women’s Alliance for Family Institution and Quality Education (Wafiq) said Marina had remained silent in the wake of the controversy over a ban on female hotel workers from wearing the tudung, but was vocal in condemning an incident in which a man had assaulted a group of Muslim women for not covering their hair.

Rafidah said the man seen in the viral video clip “is hardly representative of the majority of Muslims in Malaysia”.

“Many Muslims have condemned the incident. Surely the action of one misguided man does not serve as evidence of a so-called ‘negative effect of Islamisation’,” she said.

Rafidah said the incident paled in comparison to the discriminatory practice by some hotels to ban their Muslim female employees from wearing the hijab.

“It is regrettable that Marina Mahathir has chosen to focus on the recent anomalous incident of a man slapping a woman without hijab, rather than the much bigger current issue of systematic religious discrimination of female employees of international hotel chains who are forbidden from wearing the hijab by their employers,” she added.

A footage making the rounds on social media shows a man scolding a group of Muslim women at a bus stop for not wearing the hijab, before slapping one of them.

Marina reportedly linked the incident with Islamisation, something she has spoken out in the past and which is the focus of her latest book “Illusions of Democracy”.

Rafidah further criticised Marina’s stand on Arabisation among Muslims in Malaysia.

“Incidentally, it is also ironic that while condemning ‘Arabisation’, Marina chose to name her movement founded in 2009 ‘Musawwah’. Why use an Arabic term rather than a Malay word?” she asked.

Musawwah, which means equality, is a movement seeking to empower Muslim women.

“Rather than be critical of insignificant elements of clothing wrongly attributed to ‘Arabisation’, it is high time that Marina show some consistency and speak up for the rights of women who want to wear the hijab and yet are suffering from profound trauma and stress for not being able to do so because of systematic religious discrimination by more powerful entities,” said Rafidah.

In India, economic reasons behind recent gay sex decriminalisation

In India, economic reasons behind recent gay sex decriminalisation

Alistaire Opinion  September 9, 2018 4 Minutes

By Shahid Bolsen

The decision by the world’s largest democracy (i.e. India) to legalise gay sex was not made democratically.  The majority of India’s citizens do not approve.  For some reason, that is not supposed to matter.  The same was true when same sex marriage was legalised in the US; the majority opposed it; but again, that is not supposed to matter, because… reasons.

So how does a radical fringe minority in the society exert such an irresistible influence over governments?  How does a fraction of a fraction of the population (LGBT activists) bend policy to their will?  The answer is that they don’t.

The LGBT agenda has not been successful because of gay and trans activists.  The corporate sector has been ahead of the curve and pushed the envelope on the LGBT issue, not activists.  To some degree, accepting and promoting the gay lifestyle makes business sense.

In the US alone, the LGBT community is estimated to wield around $800 billion in buying power.  And, let’s be honest, normalizing homosexuality will spread homosexuality, and spreading homosexuality is reliably going to result in spreading HIV.  As we have all learned over the past few years, HIV is no longer a death sentence but rather it is a life sentence of dependence on a cocktail of medications.

The gay community is something of a captive market for drug companies, one which these companies have every reason to want to see grow.  Each new HIV infection calculates to roughly $17,100 profit growth per year.  Globally, there were well over one million new infections last year.

The same capitalist principle applies to transgenderism:- encouraging male-to-female or female-to-male transformations is encouraging lifelong dependence on hormone treatments. Gender reassignment surgery costs around $30,000, with hormone therapy coming in at about $1500 per year.  And that’s just for starters.  Facial feminization treatment, breast implants, and so on, all run in the tens of thousands of dollars.  Each gender transition represents well over $100,000 per person, plus ongoing hormone injections; usually paid out of pocket.

If transgenderism is normalised, it will begin to be covered by insurance; which will undoubtedly encourage those considering transitioning, but who cannot afford it, to go ahead and do it.  Normalising it creates customers not only for Big Pharma, but for insurers.

Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies voluntarily implemented policies that accommodated LGBT employees well before same sex marriage was legalised and well before gay rights became the cause célèbre it is today.  And it is no mystery why.  The LGBT agenda is a good investment.

In today’s world, the flow of social change first appears in the corporate sector, then there is change in legislation and lastly and more slowly, there is change in societal attitudes because the change has been normalised by the two centers of power in society.  This appears to be what happened in India.

Laurus Labs, a pharmaceutical company in Andhra Pradesh, India, is one of the world’s biggest suppliers of ingredients for anti-retrovirals used in HIV medicine.  They received FDA approval earlier this year for their own finished drugs, and are poised to flood the US market with a product estimated to be up to 93% cheaper than other branded HIV medications.

Within six months of FDA approval, gay sex in India was decriminalised, thereby creating more profit potential for Laurus Labs domestically, without the cost of exportation.  You can read it as the US pharmaceutical industry protecting their American market share by opening an alternative for their competitor closer to home, perhaps.

Juxtapose this with the announcement that the government of Narendra Modi, a neoliberal from way back, plans to undertake a major overhaul in the cost control policy for medications in India next year.  Intuitively, one can surmise  that whatever Modi has in mind, it will primarily benefit local pharmaceutical companies, like Laurus Labs, as well as insurance firms.

LGBT activists frequently claim that criminalisation of homosexuality impedes the battle against HIV.  They have positioned legalization of gay sex as a positive public health stance and it isn’t surprising.  The LGBT movement has received upwards of $400 million in funding, much of it from donors connected to the pharmaceutical industry. It may well be true that criminalisation of gay sex creates obstacles for seeking treatment, and seeking treatment is precisely what Big Pharma wants people to do as that is how they make money.

But it is also true that normalization of gay sex creates more HIV infections insofar as it tends to spread homosexuality.  Since the legalization of gay marriage in the United Kingdom, for example, the number of self-identifying homosexuals rose from 1.7% of the population to over 2% in just one year; with some estimating that the real figure could be as high as 10% today.  Homosexuality has risen most dramatically among the young, the demographic group at the highest risk of contracting HIV.  In business language, this is called “market expansion”.

For those who adhere to traditional values, and who would like to stem the spread of homosexuality, it is important to realise the economic interests behind the LGBT advancements, and strategise appropriately.

Najib again calls for release of IPIC-1MDB settlement agreements

FMT Reporters

October 27, 2018 7:59 PM

Former prime minister Najib Razak says Putrajaya should look at the bigger picture in resolving the 1MDB issue.

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak has repeated his call for Putrajaya to release the 2015 and 2017 settlement agreements between 1MDB and the International Petroleum Investment Co (IPIC).

In a Facebook post, Najib responded to Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s “advice” that he make a police report on the possibility that other international players were involved in the 1MDB scandal.

Najib said the present government seems to face the same dilemma he did, which is to see the return of every sen belonging to 1MDB that allegedly went missing.

“It has always been my objective to get back every sen belonging to 1MDB and ensure no money went missing.”

He said the 1MDB funds which allegedly went missing were either received or guaranteed by Abu Dhabi’s state investment firm, and that several senior officials were found to have received and use the funds or were involved in cheating.

Najib said it wasn’t easy to accuse the officials openly as it could strain diplomatic ties and this was why the Barisan Nasional government tried to sign agreements with them twice to ensure a return of the funds.

Essentially, the most recent agreement signed in 2017, would see IPIC returning US$3.5 billion to 1MDB before Dec 31, 2020.

“What happened to that agreement? What is the status?” Najib asked.

“Can the government release this document to the people, as well as the agreement of 2015? If the government is genuine in wanting to uphold the truth and justice, release the documents in its entirety immediately and don’t hide behind the Official Secrets Act.”

Previously, it was reported that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had commenced investigations into whether there was any wrongdoing by Najib in agreeing to settle a dispute with IPIC over a missing sum of US$3.5 billion.

Najib also questioned whether the government really wanted to get 1MDB’s money back or continue to politicise it to harass and scare Barisan Nasional leaders.

He urged the government to look at the bigger picture in resolving the 1MDB issue and stop their political games, and focus on the economy and the people rather than prioritising political rivals.
