日新，日新 又日新

Created by Dennis Lim, the video maker who was featured here a few times before, decided that he would not let his high school bittersweet moments fade away just like that.

Upon graduating from SMJK Jit Sin, he and his fellow graduating school mates created one of the most memorable video clip on our school anthem.

Many of us would be missing those times we had back at SMJK Jit Sin. And this video clip will certainly put a big smile on your face..... you and I reminiscing the air of Friday mornings filled with the repetitive,yet unforgettable " 日新，日新。。。又。。日新。。!! "

Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia Roadshow - in Penang!

Penangites of all ages,races and religions, spare your day for this roadshow!

We often say we need changes for Malaysia and Malaysians.
But what kind of changes?

If your understanding towards the meaning of being a MALAYSIAN is still vague and unclear, I can confidently tell you that THIS roadshow IS THAT KIND OF CHANGE that we need; or at least, this is the first basic step toward those changes for the sake of a better Malaysia.

SABM Roadshow heads out to Penang

October 23, 2009

Penangites, block out 15th November, 2009 in your diary.

The Saya Anak Bangsa Malaysia Roadshow, which has been planned as a full-day event, hits Penang on that day.

The venue : Hu Yew Seah Hall, 43 Madras Lane, Penang

We will kick off the event with a half-day youth workshop “Ada Apa Dengan Bangsa?” that morning, anchored by our smart partner, KOMAS. Participants will be urged to explore our identity, who we really are and what we believe in as Malaysians.

Numbers at the youth workshop, which is scheduled to start sharp at 9.00am, to be conducted with a mix of both Bahasa Malaysia and English, will be limited to 30 participants so that there will be greater scope for interaction.

If you’re aged between 17 – 25 and would like to participate in the youth workshop, send your details ( name, i.c. number, address, telephone contact number, and what you are presently doing ) to admin@sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net

The SABM forum, simply entitled “Bring Along A Friend”, kicks off in the afternoon, tentatively scheduled to start at 2.30pm, with the screening of “Sepuluh Tahun Sebelum Merdeka”, an excellent documentary by Fahmi Reza, who will himself be at the forum to share some of his thoughts with us. The documentary gives an insight into the state of politics some 10 years before Malaya attained independence from the British. This documentary makes for an excellent backdrop for the forum and Q & A session that will follow immediately after.

A panel of speakers is being assembled to deliver some thought-provoking ideas whereafter participants will be given ample time during the Q & A session to get in on the healthy discussion that we hope will happen. The names of panellists will be announced at a later date.

We will serve light refreshments after the forum and Q & A session and then we will be screening KOMAS’ “Gaduh”. If you have not yet watched this short film, this screening in itself may be reason enough for you take make the effort to attend the forum.

Why is the forum entitled “Bring Along A Friend”?

Quite simply, because that’s what you’ll have to do to attend the forum.

This is how it works.

Attendance is by invitation.

So you’ll have to e-mail us for an invitation, both for yourself and a friend of yours.

Now if you’re a Malay Malaysian, you’ll also have to register a non-Malay Malaysian friend, besides registering yourself for the forum. Conversely, if you’re non-Malay Malaysian, we will require you to also register a Malay Malaysian friend.

As with the youth workshop, if you’d like to attend the forum, send your and your friend’s details ( name, i.c. number, address, telephone contact number, and what you and your friend are presently doing ) to admin@sayaanakbangsamalaysia.net

Updates on Beng Hock's Case - A Homicide?

The two government-appointed pathologists have to explain this - why did they fail to pick up even 1 of the few suspicions which the independent Thai pathologist suggested are signs of Beng Hock being tortured before he fell to death.

Ho ho ho.... A corrupted government..A liar MACC .... and even our pathologists can be bribed.... how cheap...

Thai expert says Teoh’s death ‘80pc’ homicide

UPDATE 2

By Debra Chong

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 21 — Thai pathologist Dr Porntip Rojanasunan told the coroner’s court this morning that there was an 80 per cent probability that Teoh Beng Hock’s death was homicide and not suicide, and suggested that some of his injuries were sustained before his fatal fall.

Under questioning from Selangor state lawyer, Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, Dr Porntip testified that the political aide was indeed alive when he hit the ground but added that he was unconscious, judging from the lack of injuries to his wrists and ankles.

She explained that if he were still conscious when he fell, there would have been “reaction wounds” to show he had instinctively tried to stop from hitting the ground.

She said that Teoh’s injuries showed he could have been strangled and that he sustained anal penetration before he fell to his death on July 16.

Dr Porntip added that Teoh could have passed out as a result of the strangulation or from the pain from injuries to his anal region.

She told the court that the likelihood that Teoh had committed suicide — the theory previously put forward by the two pathologists who examined Teoh’s body after death — was only 20 per cent.

The stunning testimony made by the forensic expert, who gained international prominence from her work in identifying the 2004 Asian tsunami victims and more recently in the death of Hollywood star David Carradine, appeared to suggest Teoh was assaulted before his death.

Using a graphics presentation, the 54-year-old who has carried out over 10,000 autopsies over the last 27 years, told the court that not all the injuries sustained by Teoh were consistent with those caused by a fall.

The anal tear, which she described as a “penetrating injury”, appeared to have happened before he fell.

Dr Porntip noted that the tear measured 6cm-wide by 2cm-long.

She rejected the idea that the anus was penetrated by a bone fragment, which had been put forward by local pathologist, Dr Khairul Aznam Ibrahim from the Hospital Tengku Rahimah Ampuan in Klang.

She reasoned that if that had happened, the force would have punctured the area opposite its entry and not as what was shown in the autopsy photos taken.

She suggested that they were caused by an object inserted into Teoh’s anus from a bottom-up direction, which she indicated with a blue arrow on a picture slide projected on a white screen in the darkened courtroom this morning.

“This kind of injury, I’ve not seen in cases of fall from height,” the director-general of Thailand’s Central Institute of Forensic Science (CIFS) said.

However, she could not say what the object was.

She also said that the depth of the tear was not measured or mentioned in the autopsy report.

Dr Khairul had jointly written the autopsy report with Indian pathologist Dr Prashant Naresh Samberkar who is currently based at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur.

Several stripes on Teoh’s upper thighs, just below the buttocks were also pointed out as inconsistent with injuries caused by a fall.

Dr Porntip suggested the horizontal lines were the result of a beating with a stick.

She added that if she had carried out the autopsy on Teoh, she would have cut open the thighs just under the skin to check for internal bleeding in order to confirm her theory.

She also pointed out several “round” bruises on Teoh’s neck, which could mean “manual strangulation” by fingers.

Her lengthy explanation on Teoh’s neck injuries was peppered with graphic references to her own case studies of strangulation victims.

The skull fracture on Teoh’s head, she said, was not typical of an injury from a fall, but more compatible with the result of blunt force applied directly to the skull.

“I found contusion on fracture line, so the fracture could be caused by blunt force injury directly on skull,” she said, explaining why she disagreed with Dr Khairul’s and Dr Prashant’s theory.

The two doctors who performed Teoh’s autopsy had previously put forward the idea that the head injury may have been caused by the momentum of the landing.

“For transfer of force, (you) only find ring fracture at base of the skull along (the) spinal column, not a linear fracture and not a cervical spine fracture,” she added.

She said that her assessment was based on Teoh’s autopsy report, the photographs of his injuries and from snapshots taken at the site where his body was found.

Dr Porntip who had earlier suggested that Teoh may have been dragged before he plunged to his death told the coroner’s court after lunch break that she no longer held the view.

In her testimony earlier, she had contradicted Dr Prashant’s idea that it was caused by the impact on the ground.

She explained that she had been allowed to view the original pictures of the shoe, which are of a better quality than the copies she had been provided, and confirmed that the marks on the sole were indeed caused by the impact when Teoh landed on the hard and rough ground feet first.

She told the court she would like to carry out her own autopsy on Teoh, but magistrate Azmil Muntapha Abas who is acting as coroner in the inquest, indicated that it may be too late to do so at this stage.

Dr Porntip had also previously sent two assistants to join the court to survey where Teoh’s body was found on a 5th-floor landing outside the offices of the Selangor branch of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in Plaza Masalam here.

Teoh, who was the political secretary to a DAP state executive councillor, had been questioned overnight on July 15 to help an ongoing investigation into claims his boss had misused state funds.

Dr Porntip was engaged as an expert witness by the Selangor state government.

She had been among the first names suggested to carry out a joint autopsy on Teoh, but was rejected by his family whose reasons remain unknown.

Earlier, she told the court that she had conducted over 10,000 autopsies in her career, of which more than 100 dealt with fatal falls from high places.

She estimated Teoh to have died between 6am and 8am on July 16.

The Fateful Battle - Bagan Pinang N31

Bagan Pinang by-election is not only a storm ahead of Pakatan Rakyat, but it also signifies that what the rakyats have all along been hoping for; a cleaner government and a better tomorrow for Malaysians, is now under siege.

Malaysians can actually get over the fact that the 1Malaysia propaganda is just a slogan that will only become another laughing stock for other countries; exactly like "Malaysia Boleh". But since Najib become our Prime Minister, I bet most people can feel strong sense of segregation among ourselves. Lies, hatred and racism have again further infiltrated the communities of normal rakyats.

The death of Beng Hock marked the beginning of the actual 1Malaysia concept. Beng Hock's tragic death shook the nation, but UMNO seized this opportunity to instigate suspicions between the Malay and Chinese communities. Soon after that, UMNO did not hesitate to hold another infamous cow-head protest against an Indian temple, insulting the Hindus with a bloody cow head together with racist chantings in the public. Utusan Malaysia and Berita Harian stirred up this issue and now, UMNO's agenda to split us apart is near to success when fear and precautions towards the Malays pavilioned the Indian communities.

"The poor Malays are robbed in broad daylight, government contracts are awarded to crony companies, we see poor Malays, Chinese, Indian everywhere throughout all BN governed states, and they call me a traitor?" added Anwar.

-Anwar responding to UMNO 's dispraise. Taken from The Malaysian Insider

Until today, almost half a year has come and passed since the new era of Malaysia begins under the racist coalition government. Pakatan Rakyat's winning streak in the 8 by-elections after 308 have sufficiently proved that the rakyat is still somehow utterly disgusted by the 'new Barisan Nasional" under our new PM.

However, its very unlikely that Pakatan Rakyat will get through the Bagan Pinang by-election; the one which is headed by the corrupted Isa, representing Barisan Nasional.

It really doesnt matter if Pakatan Rakyat lose this seat, but the winning of Isa in Bagan Pinang will be a 100% accurate diagnosis that Barisan Nasional will be more corrupted each and everyday from now on, and national unity may soon become extinct from our beloved homeland.
