Human beings, all born free and equal
November 9, 2009
Is it not within the grand scheme of the Divine that you and I were intended to be as free and as equal as the next two persons in New York?
Sure, the dynamics of international politics and the unequal location and distribution of natural resources favouring some over others has resulted in inequalities prevailing between individuals in different parts of Planet Earth.
Surely, though, within the boundaries of this, our nation-state that has come to be known as Malaysia, we, her inhabitants, must all be equal?
No?

Sir, there is one and only solitary basis for the liberty an equality of each human being – each is made in the image of the divine. If this basis is not mutually recognized and acknowledged, all other considerations would be futile!
But there will always be atheists and the evolutionists who have no place for the Divine, and believe in the supremacy of the fittest!

[...] Of course the rests is history as 308 saw to the opposition making grounds capturing 81 out of 222 parliamentary seats. It became a political solution. A former PRS VP also said that James should not havbe said too many words as he has already has the party and he needs not open up OLD WOUNDS. Has James and Sng Chee Hua made up..? We never know do we and who would have thought Ong and Chua had a unity plan. He was also peeved when James said he took the advice of former PM Abdullah,”Patience has its rewards“ [...]

The Truth as we all KNOW it is that we are all created and born equal in the eyes of God, full stop.
But once born on Earth, some are deliberately treated less equally by other human beings who consider themselves to be “more”(?!) equal than others, even to basic rights and fundamental freedoms.
This manipulative self-interest strategy and tactic is used and done to control others for personal gain and to accumulate power, wealth and status at the expense of these “less equal” others who are belittled and beaten down deiberately and treated less equally than others for NO good/justifiable reason and also denied access to those very opportunites available to those who think they are “more equal” than others to gain power, wealth and status and a cushy life here on Earth.
This strategy and tactic only happens to succeed all over the world because the ones who are treated as being “less equal” than others stupidly believe the BIG LIE perpetrated by these pseudo “more equal” otehrs and so stupidly accept the situation of being taken for granted and treated as “lesser beings” by those “pseudo-more equal” others who of course tell them that to manipulate them and hopefully, destroy their self-esteem and sense of self-worth.
So to summarise:
When it comes to God, we are all EQUAL.
When it comes to us humans here , one’s OWN self or one’s OWN gender or one’s OWN race or ethnic group or one’s OWN family members or one’s OWN religious/political institution/group or one’s OWN……..are somehow miraculously seen, and illogically justified, as being somehow “MORE” equal” than others’ just as equal in Truth selves, race, ethnic groups, families, religions, political groups, nations, etc. etc….
Being born a fool, I live in the foolish hope that we supposedly rational human beings can all cut the crap soon and perhaps clearly admit to seeing the rubbish and strife that we create for ourselves here in this beautiful world that the One God has given to all of us EQUAL human beings.

we better learn from china.
china is what she is today, strong, stable, rich, powerful; because china is applying effective methods.
we better learn from china. i believe everyone here agrees with me.
just look at china today. From the west to the east, north to south, nations applaud, and bow down in respect. Kudos to china!
while we are debating, hissing and panting about PDRM summoning & interviewing zorro and the likes, about PDRM running around chasing RPK and the likes,and about PDRM Cyber Team’s spending sleepless nights monitoring other wannabe(s); china tell us right in the face; thats not how to do it!
the great news today; china successfully EXECUTE 9 uighurs chinese rebel, lead demonstrators, and opposition leaders; 2 mongolian tibetan chinese rebel and separatist, and 2 fanglun dong chinese activists, demonstrator leaders, for spewing out hate anti government slogans and campaigns.
They were all sentenced as traitors, enemies of the country, and saboteurs of national peace and stability.
live by the sword, die by the sword indeed…
proclaimed “human rights and freedom of expression” champions, first world countries’ leaders, from mr gordon brown (hindraf’s prime minister), merkel, sarkozy, berlusconi, obama; to putin, castro, chavez, singh, kevin rudd, harper, Key,Aso, Zapatero, Rasmussen, olmert; agree, it is for greater good.
not just for china, but for the world. china’s collapse, can affect rest of world!
malaysian government MUST learn from China.
greater good, stability and peace, MUST be maintained AT ALL COST.
some of the anti government bloggers really see PDRM, KDN and the government as a joke and weak. too friendly.
If kemunting cannot deliver, the implementation of buang negara, buang negeri must be implemented. for serious unrepenting no remorse cases, must follow china’s footsteps.
for greater good.
China is setting global standards.
Chinese passports and citizenship, anyone?
-wow indeed-

What equals? Great Leader’s son is Director in the San Miguel Corp, the largest beer brewery in the Philippines
Typical hypocrite. When poor helpless lesser Muslims (like Kartika) are
whipped for the act of consuming 3 glasses of beer, a well connected
son of a scion, is now set to benefit in the millions by selling
billions of mugs of beer. His father was the first one to have
declared that ” Malaysia is an Islamic state”. His brother Mukhriz,
who also happens to be super rich is one of the great stalwarts of
Malay and Muslim rights. Malaysia has become another Animal Farm. As
George Orwell said; ” All men are born equal, but some are more equal
than others.”
Our Great Leader’s son, Mirzan Mahathir, was recently appointed to the
board of San Miguel Corp, the biggest food and beverage conglomerate
in the Philippines and the owner of San Miguel Brewery Inc. Q-Tech, a
Manila-based investment company in which Mirzan has a stake in,
recently acquired a 19.9 per cent share in San Miguel Corp for 39.61
billion pesos (RM2.9 billion).
It bought the stake from Japan’s Kirin (Japanese Beer) Holdings, which
used the funds to help finance the acquisition of a 43 per cent stake
in San Miguel Brewery Inc. San Miguel Brewery controls 95 per cent of
the Philippine beer market. The company has made San Miguel Beer for
more than a century. The beer is brewed in the Philippines, China,
Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, and is sold in 60 markets
worldwide, according to the company’s Web site. Mirzan’s corporate
forays have not been without controversy.
He once controlled Konsortium Perkapalan Bhd when Dr Mahathir was
prime minister, but was forced to sell its shipping assets to Malaysia
International Shipping Corporation (MISC), in what critics said then
was a bailout. Malaysian Insider
I think Malaysians should know by now that there are three sets of
laws in Malaysia: One for ordinary Malaysians, one for UMNO and one
for Mahathir and his family. The Mahathir clan are the most
hypocritical people around, pontificating and lecturing others while
doing exactly the opposite. Frankly I am sick of them and the fact that no one dares to challenge them, especially their evil patriarch.
His blog is infested with servile fans which goes to show how screwedup many Malaysians are.
So what Equal? I haven’t got a clue!

It is the will of God,how human come and depart.As his position in life is predetermined by Tuhan,he simply surrender his body and mind[Ego] as his life unfold to the script of Allah.However one True SELF or essense in always ONE with Tuhan.That is what the kithab want us to awake to this ONE Truth and not be deceived by our thinking[intellect] mind aka as the satanic or mortal mind.

On earth, many are more equal than others. They are distracted by wealth and power. They become greedy. By all accounts, this will be made equal one day before the Almighty.

Politics is an art of possibility to manage(/control )people.
While Pas has their cerai taqlik ,MCA has their pinhole spycam.
Wonders what kind of other files in the AG Dept was labelled `discharged not amounting ta an acquittal`.
Somebody was trying to put a RM 3 K leash on Dr Asri and our comrade Batu.
Why so silence, no barking or biting ( the meat) now.
We have got tonnes of asri and batu in our storage.
Divided and we fall like the Berlin Wall.
Who/ which political masters era we voting for, again?
Fcuk those control freak ViPs or God will.
p.s Why is Batu muannas ?

Brother Haris, there are some mind-boggling unanswered questions here:
1. Is there a variant type of APARTHEID policy still existing in this part of the globe where the evil and greedy politicians and their cronies are squeezing the resources of the country without any mercy, and continuously for the past 30 over years in the pretext of helping the aborigines?
2. Is there a CAMOUFLAGED form of ETHNIC CLEANSING existing in a country which practices “DICTATORIAL DEMOCRAZY” in the DARK UNIFORMS of the NAJISTs & FASCITs where the GESTAPOLIs are executing “MEN IN BLACK” in the pretext of shooting CRIMINALs?
3. Why there is NO JUSTICE for THESE HEARTLESS,EVIL Goons? Can they be CHARGED in the WAR CRIME COURT in HAGUE for their HENIOUS crimes committed against the INNOCENT people?

sampalee:
If God Almighty (assuming this Being exists of course) were to have predetermined all our lives right from the start, so that we have no CONTROL over it at all, why would this loving God have endowed us human beings with what I see as God’s greatest gifts to us – a FREE WILL and an INTELLECT that enables us to actively choose to evaluate and judge what is TRUTH from what are LIES and and if we so wish to seek out and to try to reach out to this our loving CREATOR, this Almighty God who we may choose to call by various names of our choice?
And isn’t ego or selfishness one’s small,petty self, and EGO/self-worth one’s true mighty SELF?
Sorry, I am a little confused by your posting here and your logic/reasoning behind it, so could you please clarify what exactly it is that you mean by it as I am not seeing what you may be seeing.

Haris,
I read this article with much interest …. http://myzaidibrahim.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/tengku-razaleigh-dan-pakatan/
After so many collections of signatures to change this and change that which have all fallen of deaf ears. I strongly suggest we now collect the rakyat’s signature to appeal to the opposition leaders for them to agree to what zaid ibrahim has said in the abovementioned article. I want to see whether the opposition leaders will listen to the rakyat since they have been calling us to sign this and sign that.
I have not signed on any signature collections because I felt it’s futile. This one though, I will sign.

Dear Anna Brella,
Qustioning is the first step to knowing Truth.Just as there is believe that the earth is flat and the Truth[fact] that the earth is a sphere.The scripture exhourt us to KNOW THYSELF,Why?This is because most of us BELIEVE we are many seperate individual humans.However the scripture tore apart this wrong Believe so that we come to realise the Truth[fact] of who we really are.The moment of realisation of who we are,All dualities and diachotomy of mind disslove and in this state,peace and oneness is obviouse as the choiceless choice.
The world and its content are all Maya[dance of Siva]A dream scripted by Allah or powered by Karma.
I have found the solutions in the kithab and I plead to every one to return to their religion enmasse and return to our True SELF[oneness,beyond seperation and change and contain space and time]

A human being is, first and foremost born free.There are no two ways to this reality.
And on this basis and ‘within the grand scheme of the Divine plan’ also, Man was duty bound to correct any obstacle that made him a slave or a prisoner. God expected the more intelligent to help out the less, so that His bounty would be evenly shared.
If certain areas of Mother Earth have been endowed with greater possibilities, due to geographical locations, then, under God’s plan too, Man was duty bound to make it possible through international cooperation to share this wealth, so that inequalities did not exist.
But that did not happen. What did happen, was that Man allowed his greed and power to dominate and amassed this wealth for himself…
Malaysia is a classic example, despite the over-emohasis of careless religious reasoning, of greed over-taking the humane tendency to reach out to the less previledged.
How can one argue that the religion one professes is the one true religion, when one and only one individual has aquired as much as RM 2.9 billion, as his share stake, in a multi-national brewery.
God gave him the extra,one would argue. Whenever there is money coming man’s way, the tendency is to readily think that God allowed it to happen.Everyone of us has heard the glib phrase, “Praise the Lord. HE made it happen.”
Push the responsibility on to the silence of the Almighty. HE won’t intervene, you can be sure!
But then God also decreed and this is written, without doubt in every religios first Book, “To whom much is given, much is expected.”
So, will not that individual who has been given the huge hand-out of RM 2.9 billion, spend time and effort to find ways and means to share the loot, with the poor and the less fortunate of this country?

Brother Haris,
Thank you for the most wonderful “Saya Anak Malaysia” workshop in Penang yesterday !
There is one suggestion I would like to make here:
The whole thing, while reflecting the truth, was presented in a grim nature.
I know, I know ! The shitty situation that we are in right now isn’t something to be celebrated about.
However, if you are to broaden the “Saya Anak Malaysia” message to more Malaysians, you need a different approach.
Instead of making people fed up with what we have today (that is exactly what you guys are doing), maybe you can make people feel proud of being an “Anak Malaysia”, and are willing to fight to protect the “Anak Malaysia” status.
It’s one thing to warn people of coming gloom (although it’s there), and it’s another thing to enlist people into your movement with more cheerful outlook.
I am not asking you to lie, no, bruder Haris, I know you won’t do that.
All I am saying is, if you change the approach a bit, maybe you can attract more of our brethrens (and sistrens) to participate in the movement.
Kalambong,
Thank you for your frank feedback.
Will take the same to the coregroup.
God bless

Haris, please read this – Pakatan Rakyat has the worst boss of all — Li Fook Gao
“We have to stop giving pressure to PR, they have more than enough pressure to deal with BN’s constant attacks. PR has no one to ask for help, besides us.
“With strong backing from us, BN will have a harder time to alienate PR. Our support is the only protecting shield PR has. We can’t remove this shield from them until we can make sure there’s an even playing field out there for them to compete with BN.”
