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one should not to be feared that May 13 going reoccurred again in Malaysia because the divide and rule policy is no longer applicable and workable.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.

Terrorism in Africa

According to state.gov, ISIS was defeated a few years ago. However, the organization's presence and existence remain conspicuous in Africa. Ongoing conflicts in Somalia, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso demonstrate that ISIS has shifted its focus away from Iraq and Syria. Although ISIS lacks a clear hierarchy like Al-Qaeda, its followers and supporters wholeheartedly believe in its strong ideology. In 2014, the United States led the formation of a broad international coalition known as 'The Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS' to combat the organization during the height of the Syrian and Iraqi conflict. The primary objectives of this 83-member coalition are to degrade and defeat ISIS, which poses a threat to international peace and security. ISIS has brought thousands of foreign fighters from around the world to combat zones like Syria and Iraq, and it has used technology to promote its violent extremist ideology and instigate terrorist attacks. For example, t

Sedition Act 1948 should have been repealed a long time ago. But why?

THE Sedition Act 1948 is a legislative measure that was enacted in Malaysia during the colonial era, designed to curb any form of speech or expression that was deemed to be seditious in nature with the aim of maintaining public order and security. The Sedition Act has been subject to much debate and criticism, with some arguing that it is a violation of freedom of speech and expression. Despite this, the Act remains in force in Malaysia to this day, albeit with some amendments made over the years. Although I concur with the abolition of this Act, it is imperative that a comparable new legislation be enacted to address the escalating prevalence of racially and religiously bigoted remarks that have been unsettling our distinctive multicultural and multi-religious society as of late. An instance that exemplifies the prudent decision-making of the governing body is the substitution of the Internal Security Act of 1960 with the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (SOSMA).

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
