Emergency Law and Election 2013



Just now the election rallies ended officially. Less than 9 hours, many Malaysians going to cast their vote. The important issues after the election will be on peace and security of our nation.

The PRDM (POLICE) and RAF (Royal Arm Forces) of Malaysia are on prepared to handle any sort of issues on the security of our country.

If otherwise happened then what is the position of forces to handle the delicate issues peacefully.
Let’s we look into the process of pronouncing an emergency state in Malaysia.

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) may issue a Proclamation of Emergency if he is satisfied that a grave emergency exists which threatens the security, economic life or public order of the country.

The YDPA’s decision cannot be challenged in any court under any grounds.

During an emergency, the YDPA may promulgate emergency ordinances and Parliament may pass emergency laws.

Such ordinances and laws must not violate any Islamic law or any provisions in the Constitution relating to religion, citizenship or language but shall otherwise be valid even if their provisions are inconsistent with the Constitution.

Since ‘Merdeka’ (independence), four emergencies have been proclaimed. 

In 1964, a nationwide emergency imposed due to the Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation. Then, in 1966 due to the Stephen Kalong Ningkan political crisis, the emergency only declared in Sarawak. Later in 1969, a state emergency was professed because of the May 13 riots which were politically engineered. Lastly in 1977, due to a state political crisis an emergency was declared.

If anyone to be feared that the May 13 going to occur again is a myth. That’s because May 13 can be categorized as a conflict between two factions who are divided well with race and religion factors.

But the current awakening status quo is very much changed. The conflict now is between poor and rich; most powerful and least powerful; mass and elite; and bad and good.

For each category there are people from different religions and races. That’s the reason one can see the waves of dissatisfaction across all sort of people.

If someone wanted to create chaos for one race or religious people, others will act as a shield to protect them.

That’s the reality now. All Malaysians had realized the important of unity. Therefore one should not to be feared that May 13 going reoccurred again in Malaysia because the divide and rule policy is no longer applicable and workable.

The May 13 should be remembered as a history of our country and nothing more than that to be used as the tool to scare off our society.

Thus one goes to polling centre today without fear to cast their vote for the betterment of our country. In meanwhile we have to salute our enforcement and security agencies courage to be neutral and fair.

Kuala Lumpur.

India-Malaysia ties and the future

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is on his first official visit to India. The main aim of this visit is to seek support for Malaysia’s application to join Brics and to fortify bilateral ties, as the country is keen to improve its connections with one of the rapidly expanding economies in Asia. In light of the increasing crumbling of the global order, particularly stemming from trade disputes between the United States and China, as well as the proxy conflict involving the United States and Russia, Malaysia is encouraged to reassess its foreign policy to uphold its neutral stance. Given India’s status as the largest democracy and the fifth-largest economy globally, along with its notable advancements in indigenous space and defence technologies, it is proposed that India emerge as Malaysia’s key partner in the years ahead. Why India is important for Malaysia The historical ties between India and Malaysia extend back several centuries, with significant Indian cultural, religious, and administ...

THE HISTORY OF TERRORISM: MORE THAN 200 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT

The history of terrorism dates back at least 1500 years when Jewish resistance groups (66 - 72 A.D.) known as Zealots killed Roman soldiers and destroyed Roman property. The term assassin comes from a Shi'ite Muslim sect (Nizari Isma'ilis - also known as hashashins "hashish-eaters") fighting Sunni Muslims (1090 - 1275) and during Medieval Christendom resisting occupation during the Crusades (1095-1291). The hashashins were known to spread terror in the form of murder, including women and children. The brotherhood of Assassins committed terror so as to gain paradise and seventy-two virgins if killed and to receive unlimited hashish while on earth. The modern development of terrorism began during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror (1793 - 1794). During this period the term terrorism was first coined. Through the past two hundred years, terrorism has been used to achieve political ends and has developed as a tool for liberation, oppression, and i...

The by-election in Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) and the Indian electorate

  I was born in Malaysia, belonging to the Indian ethnic group, which constitutes approximately 7% of the country's total population. My durable credence is that I am Malaysian first and foremost, and only then do I identify myself as Indian. Regrettably, it saddens me to witness and hear about the actions of certain politicians who question my loyalty to Malaysia. What is even more disheartening is that some Malaysians have been influenced by the manipulative rhetoric of these self-serving politicians. Recently, I have observed numerous discussions on both mainstream and online news platforms regarding the recognition and inclusion of Indians by ruling parties. Surprisingly, even the opposition has displayed a significant interest in the welfare of Indians. Upon contemplating the reasons behind this sudden surge in attention towards Indians, it becomes evident that it is primarily driven by the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election. It is noteworthy that such ...
