JANGAN BIARKAN RAJA-RAJA MELAYU DIHINA - Seruan dari Nik Zafri memanggil rakyat Malaysia menyokong petisyen

Assalaamu'alaikum wbr dan Salam Sejahtera
Baru-baru ini tular kisah seorang peniaga dimarahi dan diugut oleh 2 orang lelaki yang tidak berpuas hati dengan kenyataan tidak beradab di laman FB peniaga berkenaan yang jelas menghina KDYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong.
Pada saya, niat (dan semangat) lelaki-lelaki yang menegur peniaga berkenaan adalah baik sekali kerana mereka ingin membela maruah KDYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong tetapi mungkin cara mereka menggunakan kata-kata ugutan dan menakut-nakutkan itu yang bersalahan dari segi undang-undang.


Saya menyokong tindakan lelaki-lelaki berkenaan berdasarkan niat dan semangat mereka justeru KDYMM Seri Paduka Baginda yang Di-Pertuan Agong atau mana-mana Raja-Raja Melayu tidak patut dihina sedemikian rupa.
Tetapi saya tidak menyokong kaedah berbaur ugutan dan menakut-nakutkan kerana ada banyak cara boleh dilakukan mengikut lunas undang-undang jika berulang peristiwa yang sama.
Sememangnya, saya sedar, pembelaan terhadap Duli-Duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-Raja Melayu pada zaman ini adalah satu perkara yang sulit untuk dilakukan oleh rakyat marhaen kerana serangan demi serangan peribadi ke atas mereka amat berleluasa malah seolah-olah cuba mencabar kita rakyat yang beradab ini.
Tetapi itu tidak bermakna pihak polis atau tentera mahupun mereka di kancah perisikan dan orangramai yang sayangkan Raja akan hanya berdiam diri apabila kata-kata kesat diluahkan terhadap Duli-Duli Yang Mulia Raja-Raja Melayu tidak kita mana-mana parti siasah, apa juga bangsa, agama, latarbelakang dan keturunan sekalipun.
Setidak-tidaknya, kita lebih faham akan pentingnya Rukun Negara dan peruntukan Perlembagaan mengenai kesetiaan terhadap Duli-Duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-Raja Melayu.


Mungkin ramai yang beranggapan Duli-Duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja-Raja Melayu seolah-olah tidak memberi sebarang respon mengenai apa yang kita luahkan. Percayalah, sebagai seorang yang memahami protokol, mereka sebenarnya sentiasa memantau tindakan, luahan dan isi hati rakyat mereka dan selalu akan diambil tindakan menerusi YAB PM/Jemaah Menteri, Ketua Menteri, Menteri Besar, pegawai-pegawai, pihak berkuasa, wakil-wakil rakyat dsb.
Raja dan Rakyat Berpisah Tiada.



Mari kita beramai-ramai menyokong petisyen ini tidak kira siapa kita atau dari parti siasah mana..Tunjukkan sokongan!!

Lee Chong Wei, a traitor? Come on... (a quick laymen analysis by Nik Zafri)


Datuk Lee Chong Wei; as we all have known; is a Malaysian professional badminton player. As a singles player, Lee was ranked first worldwide for 199 consecutive weeks from 21 August 2008 to 14 June 2012. He is the fourth Malaysian player after Rashid Sidek, Roslin Hashim and Wong Choong Hann to achieve such a ranking (since official rankings were first kept in the 1980s), and is the only Malaysian shuttler to hold the number one ranking for more than a year.

Lee is a triple silver medalist at the Olympic Games, and the sixth Malaysian to win an Olympic medal. He won his first silver medal in 2008, also the first time a Malaysian had reached the finals in the men's singles event. This achievement earned him the honorary title "Datuk" (a national hero to Malaysians)




I'm not really here to talk about his career but I received a very disturbing "baseless rumour" on my whassap about him being accused as a "spy" and "traitor" to Malaysia?


https://blog.steadyaku47.com/home/2018/11/03/lee-ching-wei-another-betrayal



(I purposely put a screenshot in case this posting be deleted)


If you carefully read this posting, you will find that the story is NOT credible as it does not provide any evidence just linking to very weak points such as :

1) LCW's cancer condition - which I think should have been respected rather than being used againt LCW 

2) Taiwan and the use of a Private Jet  - so what? He can afford it - he's here since the 80s.. 

(so what's your point? - where did he get his money from - you asked? again, do you have any other compelling evidence?)

and this posting (the only posting anyway) followed by comments containing slurs of allegations and even racism.
  • What happened to the hard copy evidences? Do you have it? 
  • Any screenshots on email or any forms of communication? Do you have it?
Somehow I wonder if this has something to do with this :

https://www.scmp.com/sport/other-sport/article/2134071/lee-chong-wei-says-he-was-approached-badminton-match-fixer-amid



"Lee Chong Wei has revealed he once rejected an offer by a match-fixer and said he was “ashamed”  two fellow Malaysian badminton players were under investigation over claims of fixing, a report said on Wednesday."

"The 35-year-old’s revelation came after news emerged last week that two Malaysian players are being investigated by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) for suspected match-fixing."

Now I wonder, who are "these two officials" that LCW are talking about?

The pair, who are reportedly set to face a BWF hearing in Singapore later this month, could be banned for life if found guilty."

I notice there are many attempts to discredit Datuk Lee Chong Wei lately. Some even go to the extend of viralling a so-called sex-scandal video on LCW which has been debunked later. (not to mention harsh criticisms he have received in the past and when he emerged as a TV and movie icon as well)

When we think about match-fixers - we must also linked them to the "underworld" - they have people to embarass you and "kill your career" in an instant.

Please someone - make a police report before I do.

UNEMPLOYED MATURED STUDENTS - WHAT ABOUT THEM? (NIK ZAFRI)


 #KPT #KPWKM #PakatanHarapan #DrMaszlee #Maszlee #AstroAwani #NikZafri

Good day to anyone whom it may concerned

I have seen so many proudly speaks on the significance of access to proper education in Malaysia be it politician or ministers or individuals. My thumbs up to them for spending decades to raise the quality of education and higher education in Malaysia whether they are from Pakatan Harapan or Barisan Nasional. KUDOS!

Whilst I understand, academic (and competency-based education) may not warrant a good employment nowadays, I'm not going to touch on unemployment issues among graduates in this post (I'm sure you "intellects" can figure it out by now - Suffice it to say "If our business school is so good, why...why...why...is our Malaysian business are still doing so bad?)

The problem with these education/higher education improvement efforts are that they are merely directed towards the younger generation (especially those studying in the institution of higher learnings in Malaysia). Thanks to both Government of the past and current, there are various forms of fundings such as MARA, Bursary, Scholarship, Zakat, Foundations, MyBrain, KPT and Loans such as the "famous PTPTN"; although may not be enough; but it has been proven to reduce the burden of parents who are paying more and more "expensively" just to ensure quality education for their children - That being said, I hope that education is NOT about business, it is still about educating.

Here comes the riddle :

Whilst the focus is right, and whilst we boast that "it is everyone's rights to gain access to education”, we are forgetting "the unemployed matured students" circa the age of 45 and above who still wish to study in the institution of higher learning as part of the "so-called continual learning process".

There is no problem for government officials and private sectors, as this practice of the CLP is extremely important.  The Government and Private Sectors are willing to finance their staff despite the age, to ensure further postgraduate success.

I'm really talking about those who have been LONG FORGOTTEN. "Matured students" who are unemployed". So far NOTHING at all! No fundings, No Financial Assistance. Prove me wrong!

As a Muslim, I'm also frustrated witnessing some recent events where Zakat officials saying that the financial assistance is NOT for (matured) postgraduates. Wow..Zakat is only limited to certain category of students? What an edict/fatwa! I sure hope the HRM KDYMM the YDP Agong can look into this issue.

Not to mention, the inavailability of any types assistance for those who are unemployed or freelancers - having to pay on their own exorbitant price to gain access to proper higher education in Malaysia. Many have quitted on the basis of "couldn't afford it any longer" There are so many unemployed and freelancers especially WOMEN that yearn for further education. (ah, you don't do your maths, no wonder you have forgotten them)

For decades, I still don't see ANY efforts being done to ensure "access for all" to proper education "motto" a reality to these category of matured students. We are still FAR lagging behind when it comes to continual higher education for those who are unemployed and have no access to any fundings. Folks from rural to urban can only be contented witnessing their children being aided by the Government but no one bother to ask if they themselves wants the same accreditation.

So while we are busy talking and indulging ourselves in press conferences or some "intelectual discourse" or about "the quality of education post improvement", "the impressive statistics", "the high and mighty TIVET and MQA", "the continual learning process", "bridging the gap", "scorecard" etc. which all sum up to the famous "lip service" - "EDUCATION FOR ALL", take a look of what I have said herein. It's simple and straightforward.

I thank you for your attention. Believe me, you'll be doing the rakyat a very big favour.

Akhir kata : Kesihanilah kami, lihatlah kami, pandanglah kami, kami pun nak belajar juga, tetapi biayanya tidak ada - untuk "orang tua yang tidak bekerja" seperti kami. Pencen pun tak ada. Ada Faham?
