Old Cock Vs Young Cock
I received an email from a friend and her story goes as follows:

"There's a farmer who rears chickens for a living. As far as the hens can lay eggs, the farmer would just keep a cock to handle 100 hens.

After all, a cock can't lay eggs, no point to have more. One day, the farmer bought a young cock to help out the old cock, as the old cock, well, is getting old. But the old cock doesn't think so.

Old cock was very angry, and confronted the young cock, "What are you doing here? I'm still very strong and healthy, I don't need you!" Young cock was very innocently being accused for intruding. "Never mind," said the old cock, "You young cocks always think you can out run me. Why not we compete over a race. If you can out run me, you get to keep the 100 hens, and I'll keep quiet. But if not, you leave this place." Young cock agrees. So they started running, with the young cock chasing the old from behind.

Suddenly, "Bang!", the young cock was shot down by the farmer.The farmer cursed, "What the hell! This is the 11th time I bought a gay cock!!"

Moral of the story: Beware of old cock!!! I'm referring to the senior colleagues at your working place.

A Red Scare In Pakistan
You may have heard the news today.My deepest condolences on the loss of Benazir Bhutto to the family members. Only time will heal the sense of loss. For what it's worth she will live in our heart always. May she rest in peace and may our heart be lifted from sadness.


Benazir Bhutto killed in attack

AP

Published: 27 December 2007

Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a suicide attack today as she drove away from a campaign rally just minutes after addressing thousands of supporters.

The death of the charismatic former prime minister threw the campaign for the 8 January election into chaos and stirred fears of mass protests and a wave of violence that had already erupted by the evening. President Pervez Musharraf blamed Islamic terrorists for the killing.

"This is the work of those terrorists with whom we are engaged in war," he said in a nationally televised speech. "Today, after this tragic incident, I want to express my firm resolve ... we will not rest until we eliminate these terrorists and root them out."

Bhutto's death left a void at the top of her Pakistan People's Party, the largest political group in the country, and threw into turmoil US President George W Bush's plan to bring stability to this key US ally by reconciling her and Musharraf.

Speaking to reporters at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, a tense-looking Bush condemned the killing and demanded that "those who committed this crime must be brought to justice."

Musharraf convened an emergency meeting with his senior staff, where they were expected to discuss whether to postpone the election, an official at the Interior Ministry said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. He also announced three days of mourning for Bhutto.

Next to Musharraf, Bhutto, 54, was the best known political figure in the country, serving two terms as prime minister between 1988 and 1996. She was respected in the West for her liberal outlook and determination to combat the spread of Islamic extremism, a theme she returned to often in her campaign speeches.

As news of her death spread, supporters at the hospital in Rawalpindi smashed glass doors and stoned cars. Many chanted slogans against Musharraf, accusing him of complicity in her killing.

In Karachi, shop owners quickly closed their businesses as protesters set tires on fire on the roads, torched several vehicles and burned a gas station, said Fayyaz Leghri, a local police official. Gunmen shot and wounded two police officers, he said.

One man was killed in a shootout between police and protesters in Tando Allahyar, a town 120 miles north of Karachi, said Mayor Kanwar Naveed. In the town of Tando Jam, protesters forced passengers to get out of a train and then set it on fire.

Violence also broke out in Lahore, Multan, Peshawar and many other parts of Pakistan, where Bhutto's supporters burned banks, state-run grocery stores and private shops. Some set fire to election offices for the ruling party, according to Pakistani media.

Akhtar Zamin, home minister for the southern Sindh province, said authorities would deploy troops to stop violence if needed.

Nawaz Sharif, another former premier and leader of a rival opposition party, rushed to the hospital and addressed the crowd.

"Benazir Bhutto was also my sister, and I will be with you to take the revenge for her death," he said. "Don't feel alone. I am with you. We will take the revenge on the rulers."

Speaking to the BBC, Sharif also questioned whether to hold the elections.

"I think perhaps none of us is inclined to think of the elections," he said. "We would have to sit down and take a very serious look at the current situation together with the People's Party and see what we have to do in the coming days."

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who met with Bhutto just hours before her death, called her a brave woman with a clear vision "for her own country, for Afghanistan and for the region — a vision of democracy and prosperity and peace."

Suspicion for the blast fell on resurgent Islamic militants linked to al Qaida and the Taliban who hated Bhutto for her close ties to the US and her support for the war on terror. A local Taliban leader reportedly threatened to greet Bhutto's return to the country in October with suicide bombings.

The attacker struck as Bhutto was leaving a rally of thousands of supporters in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.

"She was inside the vehicle and was coming out from the gate after addressing the rally when some of the youths started chanting slogans in her favour," said Sardar Qamar Hayyat, a leader from Bhutto's party who was about 10 yards away. "Then I saw a smiling Bhutto emerging from the vehicle's roof and responding to their slogans."

"Then I saw a thin, young man jumping toward her vehicle from the back and opening fire. Moments later, I saw her speeding vehicle going away. That was the time when I heard a blast and fell down," Hayyat said.

At least 20 others were killed in the blast, an Associated Press reporter at the scene saw.

Bhutto was rushed to the hospital and taken into emergency surgery.

A doctor on the team that attended to Bhutto said she had a bullet in the back of the neck that damaged her spinal cord before exiting from the side of her head. Another bullet pierced the back of her shoulder and came out through her chest, he said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media. She was given an open heart massage, but the main cause of death was damage to her spinal cord, he said.

"At 6.16 pm she expired," said Wasif Ali Khan, a member of Bhutto's party who was at Rawalpindi General Hospital.

Senator Babar Awan, Bhutto's lawyer, said, "The surgeons confirmed that she has been martyred."

Bhutto's supporters at the hospital exploded in anger, smashing the glass door at the main entrance of the emergency unit. Others burst into tears. One man with a flag of Pakistan People's Party tied around his head was beating his chest.

"I saw her with my own eyes sitting in a vehicle after addressing the rally. Then, I heard an explosion," said Tahir Mahmood, 55, as she sobbed. "I am in shock. I cannot believe that she is dead," he said.

Some at the hospital began chanting, "Killer, Killer, Musharraf." A few began stoning cars outside.

"We repeatedly informed the government to provide her proper security and appropriate equipment including jammers, but they paid no heed to our requests," Malik said.

Bhutto had returned to Pakistan from an eight-year exile on 18 October. Her homecoming parade in Karachi was also targeted by a suicide attacker, killing more than 140 people. On that occasion she narrowly escaped injury.

Bhutto was killed just a few miles from the scene of her father's violent death 28 years earlier. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a former prime minister and the founder of the party that his daughter would later lead, was executed by hanging in 1979 in Rawalpindi on charges of conspiracy to murder that supporters said was politically motivated by the then-military regime. His killing led to violent protests across the country.

As Bhutto addressed the rally today, she was flanked by a massive picture of her father.

Minutes later, as she drove away from the rally, the area was awash in blood.

An Associated Press reporter at the scene could see body parts and flesh scattered at the back gate of the Liaqat Bagh park where Bhutto had spoken. He counted about 20 bodies, including police, and could see many other wounded people.

Police cordoned off the street with white and red tape, and rescue workers rushed to put victims in ambulances as people wailed nearby.

The clothing of some of the victims was shredded and people put party flags over their bodies. Police caps and shoes littered the asphalt.

Today, hundreds of riot police had manned security checkpoints to guard the venue. It was Bhutto's first public meeting in Rawalpindi since she came back to the country.

In November, Bhutto had also planned a rally in the city, but Musharraf forced her to cancel it, citing security fears. In recent weeks, suicide bombers have repeatedly targeted security forces in Rawalpindi, a city near the capital where Musharraf stays and the Pakistan army has its headquarters.

What Should We Do?

Like a good malaysian, let me express my apologies if anything I say is incorrect or causes offence. Perharps above all, I must express a great cause of humility.


As a Malaysian, I intuitevely understand what Hindraf is attempting to do. I intuitevely understand why Hindraf is doing what it is attempting to do. I intuitevely understand how Hindraf is going about the entire process of revolutionising its society and agenda. As an individual, I have of course followed with a great interest over the last 2 weeks the great events occuring in and around Malaysia.


For a very long time, most of what is now, Malaysia lived under system in which we had to ask for 'advice' from the imperial power before we could do anything. Under this system of 'advice', all advice solicited or unsolicited had to be followed. This is a good example why Hindraf leaders turned to the imperial power i.e The United Kingdom, The United States and the United Nations.


In the last couple of hundred years, the only auhoritarian rule I have known have been British Authoritarian. Since our independence 50 years ago, I noticed the political switch from authoritarian Goverments to independent democratic Goverments is not easily achieved. Hindraf attempts to disguise their intention by talking about democracy, ethnic cleansing, power abusive and human rights. Now they are openly proposing to the imperial power.


If I may, I do not want to have a democratic system where the public good has to be sacrificed to a lobby group like Hindraf. I do not believe that the rights of the individual come before the rights of society and the rights of society come before the rights of nation.


Therefore, for what it is worth, I believe that we were lucky to have been born a democracy and to have evolved a productive Malaysian democracy. If not, you may see, the Prime Minister of Malaysia will be busy dealing with riots and bombs. Otherwise, the British Authoritarian Goverment should go on. And I believe, many had varying opinions on what should we do with Hindraf?

HINDRAF Out To Incite Racial Unrest
You may have read this story today.

IGP: Hindraf out to incite racial unrest
By : Lee Shi-Ian
KUALA LUMPUR: The Hindu Rights Action Force's (Hindraf) actions are aimed at stoking hatred against the government and inciting racial unrest in the country.
This was discovered following intense police investigations in the past six months into the unregistered movement’s activities.
In a statement released by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan yesterday, it was also revealed that the movement is seeking help from terrorists and local gangsters in achieving their goals.
“There have also been signs that the group has been actively canvassing for support and assistance from terrorist groups,” he said.
“They are also lobbying for international support from India, the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Nations and Europe.
“They have given a twisted and distorted picture to the international community on the status of Indians in Malaysia.
A Hindraf email sent to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown mentioned “ethnic cleansing” of Indians in Malaysia by an Islamic extremist government. The government has also been accused of sidelining and denying the rights of the Indian community in the economic, education and public sectors.
This has allegedly resulted in the Indian community going backward despite the country celebrating its 50th year of independence.
In describing the allegations as false, baseless and slanderous in nature, Musa said these sentiments have also been spread through forums, books, leaflets, websites and text messages locally.
“They have been actively sowing racial sentiments among the Indians in the country with the aim of inciting hatred and uprising against the government.”
Intelligence also revealed that Hindraf had duped their supporters into raising funds for their cause.
“Hindraf has been monitored by police since July 28. It is an unregistered organisation which was founded by five lawyers and a senior executive from a private firm,” Musa said.
The group is also believed to have been behind violent protests against the local authorities who attempted to demolish temples that had been built illegally.
Those involved in the protests claimed that the destruction of the holy shrines was simply another act by the government of clamping down on freedom of religion in Malaysia.
Investigations have also revealed that the involvement of secret society members to prevent the demolition of shrines and temples in the future.
Hindraf also displayed its stubborn side by insisting on organising an illegal gathering on Nov 25 despite not having a permit to do so.
It allegedly also lied to the Indians who attended the gathering by not handing over a petition to the British High Commission despite having ample opportunity to do so.
“This shows their real intention of causing chaos and mayhem in the capital. They also twisted and distorted the entire incident by accusing police of using excessive force on the demonstrators,” Musa said.
“This situation is very worrying as Malaysia is a multi-racial society and police are not taking this matter lightly. The authorities will not hesitate to take action to protect public order and security in the country.
Musa advised the public not to be influenced by baseless allegations and rumours spread by irresponsible parties through the Internet and text messages as it can cause anxiety and worsen the situation.
Those caught for spreading these text messages or false news can be arrested under Section 28 of the Internal Security Act 1960. If found guilty, they can be fined up to RM10,000 or jailed for three years or both.
Meanwhile, Hindraf founder leader P. Waytha Moorthy warned that Malaysia could become another Sri Lanka, which has been wracked by violence for several decades due to clashes between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
Waytha Moorthy was interviewed by Indian newspaper, the Indian Express, which published the report last Saturday. He has been travelling abroad extensively to lobby for support from non-government organisations and politicians.
Waytha Moorthy’s brother, P. Uthayakumar told The New Paper in Singapore that violence was a possibility that the Indian community would consider in order to push their agenda.

Destroy This Evil
The attack came in late September,a few weeks after a regional Swedish newspaper published cartoons by a controversial artist potraying the Prophet Muhammad (p.u.h) as a dog.In a few days,hackers ultimately traced to IP addresses in Turkey and Canada had broken into more than 5000 websites with messages in Turkish accusing Swedes of disrecpecting of Muslim culture.Swedish hackers responded in October by spamming a Turkish online forum with pornographic pictures,Swedish flags and triumphant messages such as "We have the right to draw and say whatever we want."

My article suggests that we should not forgive, but instead we should hate, or rather, we can hate and we need not feel guilty about it.Rather than pursuing a pointless and impossible moral journey to somehow rationalize forgiveness, we should be condemning the actions of these men as purely evil and fighting as well as we know how to destroy this evil. No, this does not mean invade every country that we find evil. But evil exists; evil is embodied in the actions of evil men, and whether we can recognize evil for what it is and fight to uphold morality will be our greatest ethical dilemma as we are confronted by radical Christian.
