Malaysian Indians and MIC Election 2013

http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2013/11/28/mic-has-to-transform-and-reform/
MIC is used to be sole Indian based party in Malaysia. The early leaders had played a significant role in guarding the interests of Indian community.

But in late 1970s the objective and purpose of this party existence has changed to serve the interests of the newly elected young leaders.

The party swayed away from Indian community and allowed many factions. Many new Indian based parties are formed from party members who are not happy with  the leadership at that time.

After 67 years the party had to transform and reform. 

Whether the current party members, grassroots leaders and leadership will allow such changes which desperately needed to revive the confidence of the community as whole, is a answer that the community is eagerly waiting for the outcome of the 30 November MIC election.

This community had hoped that their leaders at local and national level do their part to uplift the economic status and to overcome social illness where our youth are on top of the crime list. But unfortunately we are not heading to that direction and becoming worse.

This community still has faith on this party not because of the current leadership but the contribution that the party had made pre and post-independence.

The expectations of Indian community on our leaders in MIC are to make community needs as their foremost priority and fulfill the fundamental needs of the community.

The party members and grassroots leaders need to reject and isolate the self-centered leaders who are contesting in the coming party election, so that it allows party to transform and reform to cater the community rather than neglecting the community to satisfy their cronies.

The future of the party will be determined with the outcome the coming party election. It will set the pace for the future direction of the party upholding the interests of the community. Therefore this party election is so crucial. The members and grassroots leaders need to set aside their loyalty and self-interest and choose right yet capable leaders who are community care minded leaders.

Thank you.

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.

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
