would be "returned" to Jordan and the Gaza would be returned to Egypt. Historically the West Bank was ruled by the Jordanian kings (Emirate of Trans Jordan, Jordan etc). From 1948 until 1967 the West bank belonged fully to Jordan. Likewise Gaza was ruled by Egypt or Egyptian governors (Ottoman and post Ottoman period). From 1948 until 1967 the Gaza belonged fully to Egypt. This implies a permanent solution to the 'Palestinian' problem. The October 7th attack did appear to derail the Abrahamic Accords, or so it seemed. But now with this missile and drone attack by Iran against Israel the Abrahamic Accords have come into play in full force even though Saudi Arabia and Jordan have not officially signed on yet. It has now been confirmed that in Saturday's missile attack not only did Jordan completely open its airspace to the airforce's of Israel, US, UK and France but so did Saudi Arabia. More important than that both the Jordanian and Saudi Arabian airforces sent their own fighter jets to actively pursue and shoot down the Iranian drones and missiles. For the first time the militaries of Egypt, Jordan, Israel and Saudi Arabia were involved in joint military operations against a common enemy Iran. This is the new Middle East that is emerging It is also becoming clear that Saturday's attack by Iran has failed very badly. Nothing was destroyed in Israel, no one died and unfortunately one seven year old Arab Bedouin girl was injured by debris from an Iranian missile that fell close to her home. Here is some news: Many Iranian Missiles Failed to Launch, Crashed U.S. Officials midnight April 13, hundreds of drones launched from Iran, Iraq ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, rockets from Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon despite scale of operation, appears to be a tactical failure Roughly 50% failed to launch or crashed, 3 U.S. officials said. 115 to 130 ballistic missiles half of them failed in flight rest were intercepted successfully Irans attack a strategic miscalculation 99% of more than 330 weapons intercepted over Jordan, Iraq 185 drones, 110 surface-to-surface missiles, 36 cruise missiles minor damage occurred at Nevatim Airbase 7-year-old Arab Bedouin girl seriously injured by destroyed rocket Tehran regime increasingly concerned about stability, failing economy violent oppression, increasing number of executions, internal dissent persists attack grave miscalculation by Tehran US, West and Arab countries swiftly rallied to support Israel Most of Iranian projectiles intercepted by Israel, US, UK, France, Jordan Israel has array of long-range missiles, jets and drones, covert operations. Arab countries hoping for Israels severe response Tehran worried about nuclear program sites The Iranians did a half hearted job and made serious tactical mistakes. They first sent up a swarm of about 150 to 200 slow flying drones (maximum speed between 150 - 180 km/hr) which all flew west towards Israel. Flying time was between 6 to 9 hours. The drones were easily detected by Israeli and American intelligence and warnings were immediately issued to Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the US, UK and France. Middle Eastern and western media were already reporting that Iranian drones were on the way towards Israel. When the drones crossed over into Iraqi airspace Jordanian, Saudi Arabian and possibly Israeli and US airforce jets were already patrolling the skies and waiting for them. All the drones were shot down over Iraq and Jordan. None of the drones penetrated Israeli airspace. Likewise all the cruise missiles were also shot down mostly over Jordanian territory. The cruise missiles had a flight time of TWO HOURS between Iran and Israel. Hence they were all easily detected. The ballistic missiles had a flying time of eight minutes between Iran and Israel. They were also shot down except seven of them which were allowed to fall harmlessly in open areas. The Arrow 2 and 3 missile defense system can detect and determine the trajectory of the ballistic missiles as they fall through the sky. If the terminal point is an open space with no threat of harm to people and buildings the missile is allowed to fall harmlessly. Debris from one ballistic missile which fell near the home of some Arab Bedouins seriously injured a seven year old Arab girl. "Amina, from the Bedouin town of Al-Fur'ah in southern Israel, is now in a critical condition after she was hit by shrapnel which fell on the roof of the family home at 2am, the Times of Israel reports. The young girl's brother told Haaretz how she lost consciousness and was unresponsive. Her parents then rushed her by car to Arad, before she was taken to the Soroka Medical Centre in an ambulance". Despite shooting over 300 missiles and drones the Iranians did manage to harm one seven year old Arab Bedouin child.

gagal. Sebab itu DAP boleh berjaya. Jangan salahkan DAP. Salahkan kegagalan saudara dulu. Even Malay commentators disagree with Tamrin's assertion. You can read Permadu's opinion here: ... Jika DAP dapat memberi kebaikan kepada orang Melayu, lebih baik dari pemimpin Melayu, apa masalahnya? KENAPA PULA POLIS PANGGIL TAMRIN? But what I disagree with is the Police calling in Tamrin Tun Ghafar for questioning over his opinion - " Tokoh kontroversi Tamrin Ghafar dipanggil polis untuk siasatan" . It is just Tamrin's opinion. Opinion pun tak boleh kah? Dato Sri Zaid Ibrahim berkata dia terkejut polis akan memanggil seseorang berdasarkan ramalan. Membuat ramalan tidak sepatutnya menjadi satu kesalahan jenayah". Dengar baik-baik ok. I keep saying this - the Malaysian voter is getting fed up with this type of actions. I am getting fed up with this type of actions. So Pakatan Harapan be prepared to lose the elections. Hello Polis, pergilah tangkap bebudak yang baling Molotov cocktail kena kedai KK Store itu. Sampai hari ini tak boleh cari dia orang ke? Tapi Polis boleh tangkap 'sepai' dari Israel. Balik kepada Sdra Tamrin. Sejak 1994 UMNO sudah hilang populariti. UMNO's failed policies, their "philosophy" of stoking racial politics has brought UMNO to their sakratul maut or death throes. UMNO sudah mati dah. Now UMNO is a junior partner in Pakatan Harapan - along with 19 other parties. In the August 2023 By Elections in the SIX states UMNO was almost completely kicked out. Only 27% of Malays voted for UMNO. PN secured almost 50% of the popular vote. PN won 73% of the Malay vote. PN won 146 out of 245 State seats. That is 60%. PN won, PH lost. UMNO lost. Its as simple as that. Ismail Sabri said the results of the SIX State by-elections " marked a stunning rejection of UMNO" . UMNO's failed policies, their "philosophy" of stoking racial politics has brought UMNO to their sakratul maut or death throes. UMNO sudah mati dah. Dasar-dasar perjuangan UMNO, falsafah mereka sekarang telah membawa UMNO kepada sakratul maut. In the graph above you can see that UMNO/BN has been losing popularity steadily since 2004. That is 20 years ago. This graph is not complete. UMNO/BN began losing popularity since 1994. That is 30 years ago. 2004 was an aberration because after Dr Mahathir quit in 2003 the Malaysian voters wanted to give Mr Clean a chance in 2004. In 2008 for the first time since Independence in 1957 Mr Clean lost UMNO's 2/3 majority in Parliament. And then something really weird happened. In 2018 UMNO/BN lost the general elections. Dr Mahathir 2.0 and Pakatan Harapan took over. But Dr Mahathir 2.0 did not change a single failed policy from the UMNO/BN era. Dr Mahathir simply continued the 48 years of UMNO/BN's failed policies. The cronyism, the corruption, the racism, the nonsensical economic policies (lets make the 3rd National Car. Nauzubillah hang punya bodoh!) End result : Dr Mahathir 2.0 got kicked out in 2020. Replaced by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. Again no change. The same failed and nonsensical policies that makes a few people rich and makes the majority poor continued. The racism continued - but to a lesser degree. End result - Tan Sri Muhyiddin was also replaced. Replaced by Ismail Sabri. Same story. Then we came to the November 2022 General Elections. This General Elections was a huge watershed in Malaysian politics. Because ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES LOST. THERE WAS NO WINNER. IT BECAME A HUNG PARLIAMENT. 2018 pemimpin parti menang hanya 13 kerusi parlimen jadi PM 2022 PM sekarang pun partinya menang kurang 30 kerusi PAS menang paling banyak kerusi hanya mampu jadi pembangkang And now again this entah apa government is continuing the failed cronyism, the corruption, the racism, the nonsensical economic policies of UMNO/BN since 1970. They are thinking that maybe this time, just one more time, they will succeed when these policies have failed now for 54 years (since 1970). Albert Einstein says you are mad. The Malay people dont believe in your stupid and failed policies anymore. The Chinese people never believed in your stupid and failed policies anymore. The Indian people dont believe in your stupid and failed policies anymore. The Dayak people dont believe in your stupid and failed policies anymore. The Kadazan people dont believe in your stupid and failed policies anymore. That is why there was a hung Parliament in November 2022. And now the Pakatan is really, really unpopular. They are continuing with the same failed policies as UMNO/BN from 54 years ago. So there may be another hung Parliament in 2027. And when there is a hung Parliament parties like DAP with only 40 seats can be big boys in the government. This is what is happening now. So to Tamrin Tun Ghafar, Dr Mahathir, Tan Sri Muhyiddin, Madani, PH, PN dan pelbagai - if you want to win more votes CHANGE THESE FAILED POLICIES. 1. We dont want Rohingyas in the country. 2. We dont want troublesome Myanmars in the country. 3. We dont want Arab 'militants' in the country. 4. We dont want Indian terrorist mentors in the country. 5. We dont want rice import monopolies in the country. 6. We dont want any type of gomen licensed monopolies. 7. We are fed up with APs for cars, stupid car import taxes, duties which make cars so expensive. 8. No need RM5 Million paid up capital for the low value added, low technology, tepi jalan "vehicle inspection" business. How stupid can you get? 9. We dont want cronies making billions from human trafficking (foreign worker permits). Restaurants and businesses are closing because the foreign worker permits are so screwed up. The cronies make money. 10. We dont want toll roads in the country. Get rid of them. 11. We dont want the Sedition Act. 12. We dont want that really stupid Section 233 of the MCMC Act. 13. Reform the really outdated Defamation Acts in Malaysia. 14. Reform the education system now. Bring back Maths and Science in English. 15. TOTALLY LIBERALISE THE BANKING AND FINANCIAL SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA This is just the beginning. The list is much longer. Jadi Sdra Tamrin Tun Ghafar please understand this. Parti politik Melayu yang sudah gagal. Semua parti politik Melayu - UMNO, Pas, Bersatu, Amanah, PKR - semua gagal. Perjuangan politik Melayu yang sudah gagal. Perjuangan bangsa konon, perjuangan agama konon, perjuangan hudud, RUU, penipuan reformasi konon - semuanya sudah gagal. Akibatnya orang Melayu sudah fed up. Akibatnya pengundi Melayu sudah fed up. Akibatnya adalah hung Parliament. Akibatnya DAP dengan 40 kerusi jadi kingmaker. Akibatnya Sarawak boleh suruh Federal pi terjun dalam laut. The Sarawak people dont care about you anymore. Akibatnya ahli politik Melayu jadi badut. Bahan ketawa. Bila kalah pilihanraya ahli politik Melayu jadi kluster Mahkamah pula. And then sdra nak menakutkan orang Melayu dengan DAP pula. Kalau tak DAP, nanti PAP pula boleh datang. Kalau tak PAP, mungkin British akan terpaksa datang balik. Musuh kita bukan di luar. Musuh kita di dalam. Sapu duit, kroni kaya, dasar dungu itu adalah Musuh No.1

of VETO power has prevented the UN from taking more effective measures like the sending of a UN Peacekeeping Force, or a UN Force to ensure that the violence stops, and Israel withdraws back to its national borders. International Court of Justice had ordered the stop of killing but Israel has not complied with the court order... 26th January ICJ, amongst others, orders ISRAEL to stop killing of Palestinians,etc but the killing and other things continues - What should we do with Israel? What will ICJ do? What will UN do? READ the ICJ ORDER of 26/1/2024 The UN had the power to impose economic sanctions on Israel, impose an embargo on arms sales in Israel - but it cannot because the US(and something other VETO holders) block it ....So, the UN is crippled to act, and Israel continues to even disrespect past UN Security Council Resolutions that manage to get passed - like the one that called for the end of building Israeli Settlements in OCCUPIED Territories. So when the UN and governments are prevented from acting, the people as individuals and groups can still ACT to ensure justice be done in Palestine. They can issue statements, protests and demonstrate, ...and even BOYCOTT. The BOYCOTT of US Brands with regard the Palestinian situation is not new - even in the 80s, I remember the Boycott. Boycotts are effective - as it 'pressures' these US Brands to put pressure on the US or the relevant country to change their position, and act for human rights and justice in Palestine. Look what happened on the KK Mart Allah Sock issue, how fast did the owners and suppliers apologize. Yes, a Malaysian company may have got the exclusive rights in Malaysia on the opening of FRANCHISES of the US Brand in Malaysia, but at the end of the day, monies still flow back to the parent company and the Brand Name still gets promoted in Malaysia. BOYCOTT and Protest is also not just about 'money' - it is also about image - Companies place importance on their IMAGE - so to prevent loss of IMAGE, they will also be forced to act - maybe as demanded by the people who protest/boycott. Malaysia takes a strong position on the Palestinian issue - but the opening of US Brand outlets in government premises indicates otherwise ... is Malaysian PM and/or government BLUFFING the people? Hence, the opening of the Starbucks outlet NOW in April 2024, when the on going killings and injustices since October is indicative of the Malaysian position. The government really should consider ending the contracts of all US Brands outlets in government premises, including Universities, etc..NOT opening NEW outlets . Why can't the government promote Malaysian brands and Malaysian companies ...Malaysian owned companies have been successful in establishing Brand names, and opening franchises like Mydin, 99, KK Mart, Old Town White Coffee, Marrybrown, Secret Recipe, Sushi King True, we are concerned about the well-being of the Malaysian employees in these establishment - but the government can take steps to find them alternative employment if they suffer loss of employment. Berjaya Corp Bhd founder Vincent Tan has called on the public to stop boycotting Starbucks Malaysia, saying it only hurts the locals running the company. The business tycoon said up to 85% of Starbucks Malaysias employees are Muslims and that there are no foreigners working in the companys head office This boycott doesnt benefit anyone, he was quoted by the New Straits Times ... Interestingly, he talks about the employees at the outlets being 85% Muslim, not 85% Malaysians - so how many foreigners employed? How many Malaysians employed? Are they given REGULAR employment until retirement, or is it just short-term employment contracts? At the head office, no foreigners, but what about at the outlets? Is the BOYCOTT having an impact - yes, it is... Tans Berjaya Food Bhd (BFood) faced significant challenges due to the boycott of Starbucks in Malaysia, made worse by the weakening of the ringgit against the dollar. This led to a substantial decline in revenue and a record net loss for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024 .The boycott, sparked by the Israel-Palestine conflict, heavily impacted BFood as Starbucks Malaysia contributes 90% of the groups revenue. Now, did Vincent Tan or BFood exert pressure on Starbucks to respect human rights in Palestine, and pressure Israel to stop the senseless slaughter? Why did Minister Nga attend the opening with the once infamous Vincent Tan? He could easily have sent a representative, if need be? One wonders how much DAP and the Pakatan Harapan have changed? DAP leader and federal minister Nga Kor Ming has accused those who call for boycott of products as "instigators" out to ruin domestic economy , as Malaysian Muslims join a global boycott of US interests to protest Washington's continued support for Israel. 1 - Malaysians of all ethnicity and religions, who believe in justice and human rights, will participate in this BOYCOTT. Nga Kor Ming is WRONG to even think that it is only 'Malaysian Muslims'. The injustice and violation of human rights befalling the people in the Palestinian region is an issue of concern for ALL - and not just Muslims. Does Nga Kor Ming support the boycott? 2 - Is Nga Kor Ming trying to criminalize people who suggested and/or called for a boycott as "instigators" out to ruin the Malaysian economy? And later maybe even Malaysians who participate in these boycotts? What is happening? Is this also PM Anwar Ibrahim's position? Are they out to Oppose or shut down boycotts that came about as a peoples' effort to ensure justice in Palestine. Hello, some countries or governments are also moving towards BOYCOTT. Take Turkey for example.. Turkey's parliament removed Coca Cola and Nestle products from its restaurants on Tuesday over their alleged support for Israel amid the conflict in Gaza, according to a parliament statement and a source who named the two companies. The two companies did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Want a Loan?

In a statement released by the Turkish Parliament, it was stated that the Turkish Parliament decided to support the social sensitivity to boycott the products and goods of companies that openly declare their support for the war crimes of Israel , which massacres innocent people in Gaza. Well, in Malaysia, The Minister of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's Cabinet, attends the opening ceremony of Starbucks outlet that is opened at the Ministries' premises in Putrajaya...and then slams those who call/promote the boycott "instigators' out to ruin domestic economy... It seems that nothing mentioned about Palestine based on the report. So different from countries committed to the Palestinian Cause. Maybe, Malaysia should NOT OPEN any NEW American Brand Name Outlets in government premises/universities/etc, and immediately terminate contracts of such outlets - Open up Malaysian owned Malaysian Brand outlets in government premises. Will the Malaysian government apologize for the 'THREATS' made by the said Minister? Will PM Anwar Ibrahim sanction or 'sack' Nga Kor Ming? Silence implies consent - business as usual - forget the Palestinian cause... What has happened to the principled and respected DAP that used to fight the good cause... After all, they are the BIGGEST party in PH. BOYCOTT always causes discomfort to the individual consumer as he may have sacrifice his/her favorite foot, product or outlet in support of a more important human rights and justice issue...WE, the individual person, choose to do what we can ... DAP's Nga slams 'instigators' as fast food chains face anti-Israel boycott The federal minister says the boycott campaign affects the economy. MalaysiaNow April 12, 2024 5:19 PM 4 minute read Nga Kor Ming with tycoon Vincent Tan at the opening of a Starbucks outlet at the Ministry of Housing and Local Government in Putrajaya, in August 2023. Photo: KPKT April 10, 2024 9:00 AM DAP leader and federal minister Nga Kor Ming has accused those who call for boycott of products as "instigators" out to ruin domestic economy, as Malaysian Muslims join a global boycott of US interests to protest Washington's continued support for Israel. Nga, who is the housing and local government minister, was commenting on a Chinese-language news report about workers of a fast food outlet feeling the effects of the boycott, which has centred on several global US brands with Israeli presence. "Never fall into the trap of instigators, our country needs the efforts of all parties to develop the economy," Nga, the DAP vice-chairman, said in a social media post. He described those boycotting the fast food chain as irresponsible, adding that it was hurting Malaysia's economy. The comments drew strong reactions from Muslims, who criticised Nga for blaming the weak economy on the anti-Israel boycott. In an immediate response, BDS Malaysia, the local chapter of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement behind the global anti-Israel boycott, accused Nga of blaming the boycott of certain brands for the overall economic performance. "If people boycott one store, they will buy from other stores," BDS Malaysia chairman Nazari Ismail told MalaysiaNow. He cited the example of a computer brand and a fuel company that BDS Malaysia has called for a boycott. "If people don't buy a certain XX computer, they will buy other brands. If they don't go to a certain fuel station, they will go to other fuel stations. There are many options. So the economy in general is not really affected. Only the boycotted companies are affected." Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh echoed similar sentiments, saying that boycotts in the past, including during the Najib Razak era, had not had any impact on the economy. "To the unwise minister Nga Kor Ming, the reason why the country's economy is doing badly is because there are ministers like you! Stupid!" he said in a Facebook post. While many praised Akmal for criticising Nga, there were also some who questioned him and the Umno leadership for still being an ally of Pakatan Harapan (PH). "People knew PH was stupid from the beginning. Why are you (Umno) so keen to form the government with them? And don't give me the excuse that it's an instruction from the Agong," Akmal Izzad wrote. In November last year, McDonald's, one of the popular Western fast food chains feeling the effects of the boycott, caused a stir when the company said it was working with the government to bring sedition charges against those calling on consumers to shun the company. In a social media post that has since been removed, representatives of the company were photographed with the chairman of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Mohamad Salim, the internet regulator that often cracks down on those it accuses of fuelling hate and spreading fake news online. Affected by the boycott, many major US franchises in Muslim countries have been forced to show their sympathy for Palestinians by announcing humanitarian aid for Gaza, while others were quick to distance themselves from the franchise owners. Some, such as KFC, have reminded the public that they are a local company with banners outside their outlets. Nevertheless, the boycott campaign against these companies seems to be successful, as the normally busy McDonald's and KFC outlets across the country are almost empty even during peak hours. A similar fate has befallen Starbucks Malaysia, whose cafes across the country have borne the brunt of an aggressive boycott campaign. In Malaysia, Starbucks is owned by Berjaya Food, which is part of Berjaya Corporation, the conglomerate linked to prominent billionaire Vincent Tan. The company also owns the 7-Eleven retail chain, whose chairman is Farhash Wafa Salvador, the former political secretary to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. In December, MalaysiaNow reported that 7-Eleven in Israel is one of the biggest supporters of the military action in Gaza, following a trend of local franchisees of global brands expressing moral support for the Zionist regime. Just as Israel was preparing to attack Gaza following the Hamas' Oct 7 attacks, 7-Eleven offered a 50% discount to soldiers recruited for the military operations in Gaza, which have so far killed nearly 30,000 Palestinian civilians. Even before Nga's latest comments, a video on WhatsApp was making the rounds in which he was criticised for officiating a Starbucks branch in the lobby of his ministry in Putrajaya. The Starbucks caf, which opened just two months before the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in October, is the only branch of its kind on the premises of a ministry. Nga's latest remarks may have reignited tensions between Umno Youth and DAP, just as the "Allah socks" episode was beginning to die down.Akmal had recently abandoned his campaign to boycott retail chain KK Mart after socks bearing the name "Allah" were discovered there. DAP leaders had responded to his boycott call by showing solidarity with KK Mart and urging people to shop at the retail chain to show their support. - Malaysia Now, 12/4/2024 Starbucks boycott doesnt benefit anyone, says Vincent Tan FMT Reporters - 04 Mar 2024, 01:20 PM The Berjaya Corp Bhd founder says the majority of Starbucks Malaysias staff are Muslim, and the boycott only hurts the locals running the company.

The business tycoon said up to 85% of Starbucks Malaysias employees are Muslims and that there are no foreigners working in the companys head office. This boycott doesnt benefit anyone, he was quoted by the New Straits Times as saying at a press conference in Okinawa, Japan. Tan said the boycott seemed to be tapering out with Starbucks Malaysias sales slowly improving. Vincent Tan. He expected further improvement to be reflected in the companys finances for the third quarter of this year. Tans Berjaya Food Bhd (BFood) faced significant challenges due to the boycott of Starbucks in Malaysia, made worse by the weakening of the ringgit against the dollar. This led to a substantial decline in revenue and a record net loss for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024. The boycott, sparked by the Israel-Palestine conflict, heavily impacted BFood as Starbucks Malaysia contributes 90% of the groups revenue. Research houses had issued sell calls on BFoods stock, anticipating ongoing earnings pressure. While BFood said it remained optimistic about performance improvement in subsequent quarters, some analysts were less hopeful, citing the Middle East conflicts persistent influence on consumer behaviour and the potential for long-term brand erosion. - FMT, 4/3/2024 The impact of your Israeli goods boycott By Luqman Hakim - November 14, 2023 @ 7:02am The ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel has spurred Malaysians to intensify their efforts in boycotting products associated with Israel, leading to substantial impacts on businesses, including shortened operating hours and reduced salaries for employees. - NSTP/ROHANIS SHUKRI KUALA LUMPUR: The ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel has spurred Malaysians to intensify their efforts in boycotting products associated with Israel, leading to substantial impacts on businesses, including shortened operating hours and reduced salaries for employees. In contrast, economists and consumer associations posit that the boycott movement may potentially benefit local products as individuals seek alternatives to Israel-linked brands. However, they also express the view that the boycott's impact will likely be confined to franchises in Malaysia rather than affecting the affected brands' global headquarters. Economist Associate Professor Dr Nuradli Ridzwan Shah Mohd Dali highlights the boycott's potential to stimulate local product sales as consumers shift their preferences. He emphasises that this shift in consumer behaviour could augment the size and purchasing power of the local market, fostering the growth of domestic businesses. "There will always be alternatives to international products that consumers can choose. "If you're used to buying burgers from fast-food joints, there are also street vendors using local ingredients," he told the New Straits Times . Nuradli points out that in Malaysia, boycotting is a choice, not a compulsion, as the country is an open market with diverse consumer sentiments. To make the boycott more impactful, he suggests that consumers explore specific industries, particularly semiconductor-related products, which significantly contribute to Israel's gross domestic product. However, he advised consumers to research the brands or companies they are boycotting to avoid "collateral damage". He cautioned against accusing Malaysian-owned franchises of providing funding to Israel, urging a neutral stance to prevent negative repercussions. "It is understandable (to boycott) due to the solidarity (movement). But lumping together company 'A' in Malaysia and company 'B' in Israel as giving donations to the latter is a misconception. "Undoubtedly, since the attack in October, the Israeli stock market has been declining due to the conflict and boycott movement happening globally. "While there are pros and cons, the focus should be on the positive aspects, such as increased demand for local brands." Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research senior fellow Azmi Hassan noted that the financial impact of Malaysians exercising their right to boycott was minimal due to the country's relatively small market size. Unlike the situation in the United Kingdom or the United States, he said, where direct Israeli products are more prevalent, Malaysia's contribution to products supporting Israel is insignificant. "In the case of Malaysia, there is no direct evidence of products produced in Israel being available in the market. Renowned brands like McDonald's, which has faced scrutiny for its ties to Israel, are mainly affected at the local franchise level, such as McDonald's Malaysia, rather than the global headquarters. "In Malaysia, the management has put out a notice that they supported Palestinian rights, and even donate to them, for example." He said the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), a movement that works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians, targets products originating from the occupied West Bank. "Malaysia's unique position stems from not having direct Israeli products, making the impact of the BDS movement felt broadly by local franchises." The Consumers' Association of Penang education officer N.V. Subbarow said people should not rely on foreign products. "If there are similar alternative products, yes, we can boycott to help boost local products, but sellers must not increase the price (when demand increases). "(Boycotting) is a lesson to countries that are not respecting the value of human lives." The boycott is also making rounds in other countries such as Indonesia where over 100 brands that it claims are affiliated with Israel were named. Meanwhile, Turkiye is also brazen on boycott after the country's parliament removed Coca-Cola and Nestle products from its restaurants over their alleged support for Israel. - NST, 14/11/2023 Turkish Parliament, Ministries, and Turkish people boycott Israeli products Politics Editor : Kevser Erbay 2023-11-11 10:42:07 Last update : 2023-11-11 12:09:58 Turkish Parliament, the Ministries, and the citizens boycott Israeli goods.

In a statement released by the Turkish Parliament, it was stated that the Turkish Parliament decided to support the social sensitivity to boycott the products and goods of companies that openly declare their support for the war crimes of Israel , which massacres innocent people in Gaza. The statement noted that upon the instruction of Speaker Numan Kurtulmus , the products of companies that support Israel's genocide crimes in Gaza will not be sold in restaurants, cafeterias, and tea shops on the Parliament campus and facilities. In a speech he delivered at Ordu University, Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus called on everyone to follow the boycott. "In the Turkish Parliament, we will not use any products of companies that support Israel's aggression, we will not buy them from now on, and we will throw away the ones we buy. My fellow citizens of Ordu, let one of the results of today be this, we ask you, for the sake of Allah, it is not enough to just curse, it is not enough to just say 'Let this happen, let that happen'. We will not buy the products of the companies that support this massacre from now on," Kurtulmus emphasized. In a gathering on the first day of November, Turkiyes Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) also called for a mass boycott against Israel. "It is important to boycott products of companies that support Zionism and fight against oppression and oppressors in every possible way, Diyanet said. "Boycotting the Zionist enemy and those who help it is an obligation according to Islamic law, " Regarding the importance of boycotting Israel and its supporters, the Diyanet statement noted. TURKISH PEOPLE'S BOYCOTTS SPREADS Several nongovernmental organizations have been calling for a boycott since Gaza under attack of Israel. Social media users advocate boycotts with lists of products, including everything from Coca-Cola to products of multinational conglomerate Unilever. At the 'Palestine Consultation Meeting' , Bilal Erdogan , chairperson of the board of trustees of Ilim Yayma Vakf (the Foundation for the Expansion of Knowledge) , called on fellow organizations to join the boycott . We represent an important market (for Israeli products). Trkiye has sufficient local brands and does not solely rely on brands supporting Israel. We have to exert efforts to make the boycott widespread, he emphasized. The ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), and municipalities announced boycotts in their public facilities successively over the past week. TURKISH AIRLINES BOYCOTT ISRAEL PRODUCTS Turkish Airlines stopped the distribution of products such as Coca Cola, Fanta, etc. to boycott Israel's attacks on Palestine. Turkish Airlines has started to ban Israeli products in its lounges and on all domestic flights. They were replaced with different drinks produced in Turkiye. It is not yet clear whether the boycott will be extended to international flights. WHAT HAPPENED Hamas military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, announced that they launched a comprehensive attack against Israel called Al-Aqsa Flood on the morning of Oct. 7. While thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israel, armed groups entered the settlements in the region. The Israeli army also launched an attack on the Gaza Strip with dozens of warplanes. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that Israel killed 11, 078 people, including 4,506 children, 2,823 women, and 397 elderly people. It injured at least 32,000 people in its attacks on Gaza. It was reported that 1,400 Israelis, including 324 soldiers, were killed and 5,132 Israelis were wounded in the attacks from Gaza. The Israeli army hit Damascus and Aleppo airports. As the Middle East is once again turning into a bloodbath, a deadline has been set for nearly 2.5 million Palestinians to leave the blockaded Gaza. In the occupied West Bank, 106 Palestinians were killed in attacks by Israeli forces and Jewish settlers. In Israels attacks on Gaza, 48 journalists were killed. In the clashes between the Israeli army and Hezbollah on the Israel-Lebanon border since Oct. 8, 55 Hezbollah members and 4 civilians, one of whom was a journalist, were killed. Three Israeli soldiers and one Israeli civilian were killed in the attacks organized by Lebanon. Most recently, Israel attacked the Jabalia Refugee Camp in Gaza, killing civilians. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he was breaking off all contact with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu because of Israeli attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip.

of the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act(CMA) 1998 and once complete, would be handed to the AGC for further instructions," he [the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain] said .(NST,5/4/2024) It was reported that Akmal has been vocal in calling for action and a boycott against KK Mart over the "Allah" socks controversy, and there were recent calls for his arrest over a social media post showing him wielding a sword. MADPET is of the opinion that Akmal did no wrong in raising the Allah socks issue, and expressing his opinion, as this is a right guaranteed in Article 8(1)(a) of the Federal Constitution that says that every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression . Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) also states Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions with-out interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers . This freedom of speech and expression is an essential right in any democracy . Even if someone says or expresses an opinion, that is contrary to the government of the day position or the views of the majority populace, this right of an individual must always be respected and never be deterred. Response to this freedom must be opinions and views in rebuttal, and not arrest, detention or prosecution unless if it breaks a specific good law. Call for BOYCOTT of products/companies that violate human rights Likewise, calling for a boycott of certain establishment or even certain products is a right to be respected. Even the United Nations have imposed economic sanctions and even boycott against nation states that they believe have done wrong. Even a country can impose such sanctions or boycott. In Malaysia too, we have prevented the entry of products, and even ships/planes from Israel pursuant to Malaysias strong stance against Israel for the injustices caused to the Palestinian people, amongst others. Boycott is a tool of the people as a form of protest against corporations and those in their supply chain as a protest against human rights violations and/or injustices committed against workers, communities or even the environment. Hence, it is not wrong to call for a boycott, or for individual persons to boycott products produced by such corporations. The choice is a personal choice of the individual or the consumer as an indication that he/she too protest human rights violation or an injustice by the said company or supply chain. Wrong to still use Sedition Act and Sec.233 of CMA What is unacceptable is the use of the draconian Sedition Act, which should have long been repealed, and the vague draconian provision like Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act against Akmal. If Akmal has committed any offence against other laws, like Section 298A Penal Code (Causing, etc., disharmony, disunity, or feelings of enmity, hatred or ill will, or prejudicing, etc., the maintenance of harmony or unity, on grounds of religion) or any other offences like INCITEMENT to cause others to commit violence, assault, destruction of property, etc., it would have been acceptable excuse for police investigation but when draconian law or provisions of law is used. The Sedition Act 1948 is unacceptable and repugnant to the rule of law for the further reasons that it creates offences arising from an act, speech, words, publication or other thing that are defined as having seditious tendencies which are imprecise and without clear boundaries. Unlike other criminal offences, the offence of sedition does not require mens rea or the element of intent; the correctness of what is done, or the truth of what is said, printed or published is disregarded and not a defence to the offence. Section 233 CMA is draconian and should be repealed. It is just too broad and vague, and is open to abuse. For example, the highlighting of violation of human rights or laws, or facts connected to alleged violations of rights/laws, would likely annoy or even harass the wrongdoer, and for the alleged wrongdoer, it could also be said to be menacing and offensive. This should never be considered an offence As such, this section deters even the highlighting of human rights abuses, breaches of law and even possible government wrongdoing. This section even deters the sharing of such relevant and important facts, and/or opinions over the internet Malaysian Bar Resolution. An opinion on Allah socks freedom of expression/opinion Akmal expressed an opinion on the "Allah" socks issue, but not all may share his views. The government is yet to prohibit in law the use of the word Allah, God and/or other deity on clothings and/or certain type of clothings. If such a law is to be enacted, it is best that it be enacted by Parliament. One must also acknowledge the fact that some Muslim consumers would have purchased these Allah socks and the reason they did so is most likely not to insult God but for some other positive reason. As such, this is a matter that the government must scrutinize well before acting. Therefore, MADPET a) Calls for the immediate end of the police investigation and/or prosecution of Dr Akmal Saleh under draconian Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act. If the investigations are under any other offences, then it will be acceptable; b) Reiterates the call for the abolition of the Sedition Act and draconian provisions in the Communications and Multimedia Act like section 233, and for a moratorium on the usage of these draconian laws pending repeal. c) Reiterates for the immediate repeal of all draconian law and/or provisions in laws, and not procrastinate any further as this Pakatan Harapan-led coalition government has been in power for more than 15 months. Charles Hector For and on behalf of MADPET(Malaysians Against Death Penalty and Torture) Umno's Akmal being probed for sedition, says IGP [NSTTV] By Kalbana Perimbanayagam - April 5, 2024 @ 11:38am KUALA LUMPUR: Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has confirmed that investigations are underway against Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh. In a brief statement, the top cop said police received two reports against the Merlimau assemblyman's actions and investigations are underway. "Investigations were initiated under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and once complete, would be handed to the AGC for further instructions," he said. Once completed, the findings will be forwarded to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) for further action. Earlier it was reported that Dr Akmal in a Facebook post said he was being detained at the Kota Kinabalu district police headquarters. He said he was supposed to give his statement to the police in Dang Wangi here tomorrow but was detained in Kota Kinabalu this morning. Akmal has been vocal in calling for action and a boycott against KK Mart over the "Allah" socks controversy, and there were recent calls for his arrest over a social media post showing him wielding a sword. On Wednesday, Razarudin said no probe into Dr Akmal as no report had been lodged against him. However, several parties including former law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and human rights group, Lawyers for Liberty, have questioned the necessity for a report to be lodged for the police to act. His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, has also urged all parties to cease exploiting the issue and inciting anger, emphasising that action had already been taken by the authorities. Razarudin also urged all parties to refrain from speculating about the sock with Kalimah Allah controversy, since the case had been prosecuted in court. - NST, 5/4/2023 Akmal detained at Kota Kinabalu police HQ FMT Reporters - 05 Apr 2024, 10:46 AM He is being investigated under the Sedition Act, says Bukit Aman. Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh says he will give the police his full cooperation. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA: Dr Akmal Saleh today said he had been detained at the Kota Kinabalu police headquarters despite being scheduled to give a statement at the Dang Wangi police station tomorrow. In a Facebook post, the Umno Youth chief said he would give the police his full cooperation. Pray for everything to be facilitated. I will not move an inch from our stance, he said. Meanwhile, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain has confirmed receiving two reports on Akmals statements on the Allah socks issue, and that the case is being investigated under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for misuse of network facilities. He said in a statement that the investigation paper will be referred to the Attorney-Generals Chambers once the probe is completed. Razaruddin later confirmed that the Merlimau assemblyman was detained at Kota Kinabalu International Airport this morning, Bernama reported. Meanwhile, Malay Mail reported Sabah police commissioner Jauteh Dikun as saying that Akmal will be released once he gives his statement to the police. Akmals detention comes amid his heavy push for a boycott of convenience store chain KK Mart, which became the centre of controversy after socks bearing the word Allah were found being sold at its Bandar Sunway outlet. He has continued to spearhead the movement against the chain, despite its immediate apology, the legal action taken against its founder KK Chai and director Loh Siew Mui, and a call from the king not to prolong the controversy. Since the boycott started, three KK Mart outlets in Bidor, Perak; Kuantan, Pahang; and Kuching, Sarawak, have been attacked with petrol bombs. Akmals actions meanwhile have drawn criticism from many quarters, with former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin urging him to stop. KK Marts Chai also apologised directly to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim for the sale of the socks. The king reiterated at their meeting his warning for all parties not to take advantage of the matter. - FMT, 5/4/2024

Jalan Ampang, dekat sini pada Rabu. Beliau berkata, pihak polis akan lebih berwaspada dan mengambil langkah awal meningkatkan kawalan keselamatan terhadap rakyat dan barisan kepimpinan negara. "Melihat kepada isu Palestin-Israel ketika ini, kita perlu berwaspada dengan tahap keselamatan golongan kenamaan membabitkan Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim serta beberapa individu lain. "Dakwaan suspek bahawa dia datang ke Malaysia untuk membunuh individu dari Israel juga tidak boleh diterima sepenuhnya kerana lelaki terbabit mungkin ada agenda lain," katanya dalam sidang akhbar di Masjid Al-Amin, Markas Briged Tengah, Pasukan Gerakan Am (PGA) Cheras pada Jumaat. Terdahulu, seorang lelaki warga Israel yang menggunakan pasport negara Perancis untuk masuk ke negara ini ditahan di sebuah hotel di Jalan Ampang, dekat sini pada Rabu. Pemeriksaan di bilik hotel tersebut menemukan enam pucuk senjata api jenis Glock 19 Marine, Glock 17 Gen 4, Smith and Wesson, Sih Sauer dan Stoeger berserta 200 peluru yang diletakkan di dalam beg miliknya. Siasatan polis mendapati, kesemua senjata berkenaan dibeli suspek sebaik tiba di negara ini dengan menggunakan mata wang kripto.

sesungguhnya sokongan kami terhadap Resolusi 2728 Majlis Keselamatan PBB menyeru gencatan senjata segera bagi semua keganasan di Gaza, pembebasan segera semua tebusan, dan penghantaran bantuan segera serta dipercepatkan ke wilayah itu. "Demi Ramadan, dalam semangat yang bertujuan untuk melahirkan renungan, pembaharuan iman kita, dan kembali kepada keluarga, resolusi yang mengikat secara sah ini mesti dikuatkuasakan sekarang. "Kita mesti segera melegakan penduduk Gaza daripada kesakitan dan penderitaan yang mereka alami selama hampir enam bulan. "Khususnya, Amerika Syarikat mesti bertegas ke atas sekutunya untuk menghormati kehendak masyarakat antarabangsa dan mematuhi gencatan senjata serta membenarkan kemasukan secara besar-besaran bantuan kecemasan," katanya dalam satu kenyataan. PM dalam pada itu memuji negara negara yang terlibat dalam mengundi menyokong resolusi berkenaan. Katanya, ahli majlis yang dipilih, Algeria, Guyana, Ecuador, Jepun, Malta, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Korea Selatan dan Switzerland mempunyai komitmen yang tinggi terhadap kemanusiaan. "Malaysia komited terhadap perjuangan Palestin dan akan meneruskan usaha untuk penubuhan negara Palestin yang merdeka dan berdaulat, berdasarkan sempadan sebelum 1967, dengan Baitulmaqdis Timur sebagai ibu kotanya, serta kemasukan Palestin sebagai Ahli penuh Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu," kata Anwar lagi. Semalan PBB meluluskan resolusi 2728 apabila sekutu kuat Israel, Amerika Syarikat mengambil pendirian berkecuali. Sebelum ini AS bertindak menggunakan kuasa pembatal apabila PBB mengundi usul gencatan senjata berkenaan. *Foto kredit: PBB

and its vendor by describing the formers business practices as questionable. Business practices imply a history of behaviour and so far neither Akmal nor his supporters can point to anything that KK Mart has done which would invite such political or religious opprobrium. Hasan said it was yet to be determined if this act was done maliciously or in ignorance. Indeed, we have to ask ourselves why KK Mart or its vendor would subject itself to such acts as doxxing, police investigations, and online harassment just to sell garments with the word Allah on them. We have to ask ourselves why a business which caters to a large Muslim clientele would risk their bottom line selling garments which would offend. The elites in Umno have no real idea what it takes to grow a business like KK Mart or what it means to employ people and ensure their sensitivities are taken into account. And can anyone make the argument that non-Malays are ignorant of the sensitivities of Muslims in this country? For decades we have been told what the sensitivities of the Muslims are. For decades we have been warned not to trespass into the religious domains of the majority. The political system is predicated on non-Muslims knowing and understanding the religious sensitivities of the majority. So Hasan would have us believe that the owners of KK Mart either deliberately or in ignorance sold socks with the word Allah on them. Hasan also said this is not a partisan or racial issue but a religious one. Since race and religion are not mutually exclusive for the majority community in this country, he cannot make this qualification. How much anger? The fact that Akmal has said he would risk anything including position and power to defend Islam and that Umno (no matter who their friends are) would always defend Islam - this is a racial issue because Umno claims to be the sole defender of race and religion. As reported in the press, Zaid Ibrahim said there must be limits to your anger. First, you asked the Chinese trader to apologise, and they did. Then, you revoked the factory licence, and they are now out of business. Then you said the boycott would continue. So, the question becomes how much is your anger towards the Chinese community? Zaid also said, No one should use God to break the law, incite hatred, and destroy businesses. If people have a phobia about Islam as a state religion in this country, it is because policies that disenfranchise them are done in the name of Islam. It is not hidden. Political and religious operatives use it as a selling point. And we non-Muslims cannot fight back because to do so would mean, you guessed it, that we were Islamophobic or worse, invite sanctions from the state. Even Muslims who speak up against fascist dogma are targeted by the state, to make an example of them. I have no idea why Umno would want to see KK Mart close shop. I have no idea why they think this would work in reaffirming their position as the sole defenders of bangsa (race) and agama (religion). Electoral support Enjoying the spotlight, Akmal likes to behave as though he is speaking for the majority community. But is he really? Umno is haemorrhaging Malay support. Perikatan Nasional has got the Malay popular vote and its provocateurs have gained traction with the Malay majority, especially young Malays. So if Akmal thinks that his shenanigans really carry weight with them, he may well be in for a rude surprise. Dont get me wrong. They may very well support his ideas but this may not translate to electoral support. Akmal has made it clear that nothing but the total destruction of KK Mart would satisfy him. And believe me, if his friends at KK Mart find another business, you can bet your last ringgit that Akmal would be there not satisfied but wanting more payback. And what does the prime minister think of Umno wanting to destroy a viable business which hires many Malay-Muslims? Does he really think that Umno, a partner in his government acting this way, is going to burnish his racial and religious credentials? Does he really think that stoking religious sentiment on a business which is beneficial to the Malay-Muslim community is going to enable his economic agenda? What exactly is the play here? Destroy KK Mart and then attempt to build back a successful business using the machinery of government? How did Low Yat 2 work out? Zaid said that a rampaging Umno must be stopped but the problem here is that this government so far has enabled the rampaging Umno and the non-Malays have been cowed into thinking that disrupting the apple cart would open the gates of Putrajaya to PN. So the question then becomes why does Umno want to destroy KK Mart and why is the prime minister allowing the party to do so? Mohamad is right about one thing. Malaysia is at a pivotal juncture. - S.Thayaparan,mk Meanwhile, KK Mart and one of its former suppliers are expected to be charged today (26/3/2024) with causing religious offence, in connection to the controversial socks bearing the word Allah. Malaysiakini was made to understand that besides the two companies, the charges would be levelled against two individuals from KK Mart and three from supplier Xin Jian Chang Sdn Bhd. They would be charged under Section 298 of the Penal Code with hurting the religious feelings of others. This is punishable with up to one year in jail, a fine, or both.Additionally, it is understood that those from Xin Jian Chang would be charged under Section 109 of the Penal Code for abetment. Section 109 states that the punishment for abetting a crime, unless specified, will be the same as the actual offence. The charges will be made at the Shah Alam Sessions Court. - mk Mampukah Anwar jadi PM dua penggal?... Kata Setiausaha Agung PKR Saifuddin Nasution Ismail dia mengimpikan Anwar Ibrahim akan jadi perdana menteri dua penggal. Walaupun Anwar pernah sakit bahu dan belakang, tetapi kedudukan PM itu kini tiptop. Bukan sahaja Saifuddin mengimpikan demikian, malahan semua orang yang berjuang berdekad-dekad untuk meletakkan Anwar dikerusi nombor satu itu berharap demikian. Semua orang tidak mahu melihat kalau Anwar jadi PM hanya untuk satu penggal. Sebab itu usaha untuk menggugat dan menjatuhnya oleh pembangkang dan konspirator baru kita tentang habis-habisan. Dan saya sendiri secara peribadi sudah berpuas hati kerana Anwar sudah jadi PM, tetapi mengharap lebih daripada itu. Sebelum ini saya mahu dan puas kalau Anwar jadi PM walaupun sehari. Dalam cerminan saya Anwar mempunyai kualiti tersendiri sebagai perdana menteri dalam konteks Malaysia. Itu menjadikan saya gila kepadanya. Saifuddin menyuarakan hal itu ketika berbicara dalam podcast bersama Khairy Jamaluddin. Namun sungguh pun demikian, berkobarnya harapan kita semua, khususnya pendokong refomrasi dan puak politik baru, ia bukan hal yang mudah untuk memastikan Anwar akan memimpin sampai dua penggal. Saking banyaknya perubahan dan pembaharuan yang dilaksanakan, termasuk keyakinkan memulihkan ekonomi negara dalam tempoh setahun ini, begitu juga kian bertambah cemuhan dan serangan terhadapnya. Anwar dilihat sebagai perdana menteri yang dicabar dari sebelum jadi PM hingga sesudah jadi PM. Inilah keunikan yang ada kepadanya. Perkara ini perlu disedari oleh semua orang dan menjadi mustak untuk dilihat oleh Saifuddin sebagai setiausaha agung parti dan semua pimpinan parti disemua peringkat. Dengan menyandarkan impian dan harapan itu tidak memadai tanpa usaha ke arah mencapaikan impian itu. Perlu diketahui banyak hambatan, kelemahan yang seperti tidak dapat diatasi bagi menjamin Anwar akan menjadi PM sehingga dua penggal. Obses untuk membina majukan negara, seakan terlupa untuk mengatasi dan menangani serangan dan halangan. Anwar kini seperti kancil yang dilepaskan dalam hutan rimba menghadapi predator bersendirian. Seperkara yang patut diterima oleh semua pihak baik parti dan juga Anwar sendiri, peka dan mempedulikan kepada kritikan konstruktif yang disampaikan dari masa ke semasa, termasuk dalam media sosial. Ada kala kritikan dan teguran baik kepada parti, kerajaan dan individu lebih tulus dan ikhlas daripada teguran dibuat dalam mesyuarat atau majlis rasmi. Insya-Allah apa diimpikan Saifuddin itu akan menjadi kenyataan kalau segala kelemahan parti, pentadbiran kerajaan berjalan lancar dan akhlak pemimpin para pembantunya elok dan senantiasa menunjukan penampilan yang menyakinkan. Mungkin Saifuddin sendiri mengetahui kelemahan-kelemahan yang ada, yang boleh membantutkan impian untuk melihat Anwar jadi PM selama dua penggal atau lebih, cuma sedikit kelewehan untuk mengatasinya. - MSO.

Madani government thanks the CGF for offering (Malaysia) to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games. However, the government wants to focus on sports development and the peoples welfare and well-being at this time, the ministry said. Speaking at a press conference in Angkasapuri, government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil said there was no external pressure that had influenced the governments decision. That was not a factor at all. Actually, a lot of it has to do with ringgit and sen. When we assess the viability of hosting the games. The length of time needed and the costs, they were seen to be particularly prohibitive, said the communications minister. It is not because of pressure from any other external group. It was really looking at whether it will be viable or not, he said. Malaysia had previously hosted the games in 1998. The 2026 games were originally slated to be held in the Australian state of Victoria in March of that year but it withdrew its bid in July last year after finding the cost of holding the games had doubled from its initial estimates to AU$6.865 billion (RM21.22 billion). This is despite having to pay AU$380 million (RM1.17 billion) as a settlement for scrapping the games. The CGF has since been looking for a new home for the games. According to the Youth and Sports Ministry, a CGF delegation held a briefing for its minister Hannah Yeoh and Finance Minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan on Feb 5 to discuss holding the games in Malaysia. - mk Horrific Close Up Footage of Israel Killing Civilians.Israel does not see Palestinians as Human.

menyokong Israel.

the bad guys. They all look alike. The Muslim ummah just does not care about Sudan. Sudan is perhaps the biggest failure of the Muslim Brotherhood's scheming. Someone once wrote about the Muslim Brotherhood "Political Islam movements (like the Muslim Brotherhood) are opportunistic and have very limited intellectual capacities and political experience, yet nevertheless, they insist on taking power without considering the peoples demands". But its ok. They are not trying for the Nobel Prize in Physics. The Muslim Brotherhood just wants money. Indeed the Muslim Brotherhood through Hassan Thurabi their point-man in Sudan and his protege President Omar Hassan Bashir (the dictator of Sudan from 1993 until his ouster and arrest in 2019) completely drove Sudan into the ground. That was also the period of time when Sudan played host to all kinds of terrorists including Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. Under the Muslim Brotherhood they fought a genocidal war against the Christians and finally split Sudan into two separate countries ie Muslim majority Sudan and Christian majority South Sudan. Having accomplished that, now Muslim majority Sudan is killing itself again with Arab speaking black Muslims killing non-Arab speaking black Muslims. Here is the magic one liner : " Peace does not attract donations ". To collect donations there must be unhappiness and fighting. There is no such thing as ' There is no more war. It is peaceful now. Please donate generously '. People will not donate. There is no more war. Imagine the Muslim Brotherhood reaching out to its supporters all over the Islamic world (including in Malaysia) saying ' Please donate generously. We need money to dig tunnels for a new MRT subway system in Gaza. ' No one will donate money. That is not even jihad. But if they say "Please donate generously. We need money to dig tunnels to fight the Jews in Gaza. This is jihad." they will raise millions and billions of dollars. And of this billions of dollars the people of Gaza will be lucky if they get even 10% of the donations. The bulk of the money will go into the pockets of Muslim Brotherhood. Someone has to pay for their private jets and their mat salleh wives in Switzerland. That is what is happening in Sudan as well. They have to keep the "jihad" going. Jihad means money. It is all about money. Here is James Ker Lindsay with a brief analysis of Sudan. Over in Gaza the Hamas led by Yahya Sinwar has declared victory over the Israelis. So they do not want a ceasefire. Because Hamas has won the war. The Muslim Brotherhood aka Hamas in Gaza wanted to stop the normalisation of relations between the Arabs and Israel. They want to put a stop to the Abrahamic Accords. That is what Gaza is all about. If there is peace between the Arabs and Israel then who is going to donate money for the jihad ? But the Arabs and Israelis now have very strong common interests. As Tom Nash says the Arabs and Israelis are now " joined at the hip ". The Abrahamic Accords are irreversible. The Yemen conflict (which was almost entirely the fault of Saudi Arabia) has caused great fear of the Iranians among the Arabs. And now this Gaza war and the involvement of the Yemeni Houthis is causing panic among the Arabs again at the power of Iranian interference ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST. Even Turkey has to relook their position in the Middle East which has certainly taken a back seat to Iran. The Ayatollahs are sending missiles to the Houthis in Yemen which they have used to almost completely shut down the Suez Canal. Thus depriving Egypt of millions of US Dollars cash earnings PER DAY and also disrupting shipping to Port Sudan, Sudan's largest port that handles Sudan's trade with Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In one stroke the Ayatollahs in Iran have shut down both Egypt and Sudan. And of course the Houthis firing missiles in the Red Sea puts Saudi Arabia on the edge. The Saudis are panicking again. The UAE which took a more aggressive stance against the Houthis has been vindicated. The entire Middle East including Turkey is aware now of the extremely dangerous influence and meddling of Iran. Iran is a rabid animal that has to be put down . There is certainly an awareness about this that is now more apparent. The latest news suggests that Iran will soon be supplying hyper-sonic missiles to the Houthis which they will use against the US Navy. The Ayatollahs are getting extremely reckless. They are using the Houthis to test their Made in Iran weapons. I believe the British and US Navies are busy calibrating their radars, anti missile weapons and their electronic devices to capture the electronic imprints of the Iranian weapons. So far not one Houthi missile has struck a US Navy vessel. If the Houthis strike a US or British Navy vessel the equation in the Red Sea will change very quickly. I think if the Houthis do not stop their missile attacks in the Red Sea not only will they get bombed to the Stone Age but their country will be invaded by a coalition (of which India will be part) of countries to restore freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the all important Suez Canal. The umat Islam or ummah does not care about the Houthis. The Sudanese are pak hitam Negro. The Houthis are Shias. So even though they claim to be defending Palestine against the Jews, the rest of the Sunni Islamic world does not care. Who cares about the Shias? Why are the Ayatollahs doing this? For their own survival inside Iran. The Ayatollahs have lost their legitimacy to rule Iran. They think that ' Jihad for Palestine ' and ' defending Islam ' may help with their image back home. I dont think so. Tiny, tiny Qatar the other outpost of the Muslim Brotherhood, is now on the radar of ALL the Arab Gulf countries again. Qatar was never off their radar. Qatar is complicit with Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood in this present situation in the Middle East. Please recall that for FOUR YEARS between 2017 and 2021 Saudi Arabia, the Gulf countries, Egypt and the Arab League imposed an embargo against Qatar. The Saudi-led coalition was joined by Jordan, Maldives, Mauritania, Senegal, Djibouti, the Comoros, and the Tobruk-based government in Libya in severing relations with Qatar and closing the country's land routes for its food imports. " The Qatar diplomatic crisis was a high-profile incident involving the deterioration of ties between Qatar and the Arab League between 2017 and 2021. It began when Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt simultaneously severed their bilateral relations with Qatar and subsequently banned Qatar-registered aircraft and Qatari ships from utilizing their sovereign territory by air, land, and sea; this involved the Saudis' closure of Qatar's only land crossing, initiating a de facto blockade of the country ". The Saudi-led coalition cited Qatar's alleged support for terrorism as the main reason for their actions, alleging that Qatar had violated a 2014 agreement with the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), of which Qatar is a member. Saudi Arabia and other countries have criticized Al Jazeera and Qatar's relations with Iran. Qatar explained that it had provided assistance to the Muslim Brotherhood . The effects of the Saudi-led embargo against Qatar were minimised by additional imports from Iran and Turkey. Once this Gaza war is over I see a very violent and tragic end to the Qatari regime. You live by the sword you will die by the sword. You play with fire you will get burned by the fire. Kepada orang Melayu dengar baik-baik ok. Semua ini tidak ada kena mengena dengan kita.
