Why shouldn't the amount of Stimulus package be announced earlier?

I do not know is there a precedence to pre-announce the amount of stimulus package in any countries, but isn't it good to tell everyone that the Government is planning to spend XYZ amount to help the country going thru the hardship, instead of just keeping it like the underwear:

You see it, but I did not expose it.

You see it, but you don't see it all!

董教总搞什么鬼？

董教总在3月7日废除英文教数理联盟大集会缺席，让人们感到纳闷。

缺席的理由，根据教总主席王超群的说法是＂董教总不愿在未看过呈交备忘录的内容下参与。＂

同时他也说：＂当董教总委派代表出席该联盟开会时发现会议只强调恢复国语为媒介语，不曾讨论各源流华小捍卫本身母语的重要性。＂

请问王超群，您阁下担任了教总主席有多久了？

当董教总的代表发觉到会议不提母语而只是国语时，该代表有没有向你们反映？

如果没有的话，那个代表是不是该打30大板？他怎能不向您老人家报告？！

话说回来，身为教总主席的你，为何没有跟进？

是不是因为不是董教总主导的运动，而就算了？董教总前一阵子不是说如果政府不重新探讨英文教数理的政策，董教总就要走上街头吗？

如果该代表有向您报告，为何您不指示该代表据理力争？或通过媒体向人民交代？

为什么要等到大集会前夕才说以上的话？

是不是董教总诸公位高权重、贵人事忙，忘记了有这等事？

还是认为这时马来人的政治，最好不要插手？

再说，为什么董教总没要求看过备忘录？要是没看过备忘录，为何不索取？

董教总诸公，你们担的是华教兴旺的大旗，你们头上的光环是广大人民这些年来不离不弃的出钱出力，前仆后继、一手一脚挂起来的。

但在这起事件，你们做了什么？

在一个有各民族明确反对现行教育政策的运动涌现的时候，你们选择以一些连白痴都难以置信的理由为自己开脱。

请问你们对得起 林连玉先生、沈幕羽先生、还有千千万万为华教作出贡献的无名氏吗？

你们对得起千千万万的华小学生吗？

Kugan - How many round of investigation? 还需要调查多少次？

A human's life perished while in the police's custody, and there are 2 forensic reports, each described differently the cause of the death.

Say what you want, Kugan died in the Taipan Police Station.

This is a fact, the fact that no one can ever deny.

Whether Kugan died because:

1. He is drawn while he was allowed to swim the police station; or

2. Someone got him drunk until water got into his lungs; or

3. Someone forcing Kugan's head into toilet bowl, like those action movies, until he called it a day.

Is this relevant now? Is this relevant?

What difference does it make to find out how Kugan died?

He is already dead. Died in the Taipan Police Station.

So what kind of probe the Ministry of Health wanted to carry out?

1. To identify who is at fault? or

2. To drag the case further that AG cannot take action, since probes and investigations can take months if not years?

Is this relevant now? Is this relevant?

What difference does it make to find out how Kugan died?

He is already dead. Died in the Taipan Police Station.

Isn't it very clear even a dummy can point out the exact spot of where goes wrong in Kugan's forensic reports, i.e.

Why the first report claimed internal organs not damaged, while the second report stated that the first doctor did not inspect the organs, i.e. body is not cut or opened?

Isn't photographs taken by both doctors?? Just compare the two, then we already know who is lying.

So what kind of investigation do we need?

How much money do we need to spend to prove that those involved have not done wrong?

How much time do we need to waste for the Ministry when other healthcare problems are pressing and alarming?

Is this relevant now? Is this relevant?

What difference does it make to find out how Kugan died?

He is already dead. Died in the Taipan Police Station.

Where is the Health Minister by the way??

一个人死在警方扣留所，有两份结论完全不同的验尸报告。

你要说什么都行，Kugan在大班警局死去。

无从否认，这是事实。

不管Kugan是如何死去：

1. 他被允许在警局游泳而溺毙；或者

2. 某些人用水来灌他，直到他的肺入水而死；或者

3. 某些人强将他的头浸入抽水马桶，就如电影情节，直到他不行。

这一切是否有关连，是否有关连？

将Kugan的死因找出来有什么分别？

他已经死了。他死在大班警局内。

然而，卫生部要调查什么？

1. 要证实谁犯下这罪行？或者

2. 要将结案时间拖长，让检察署延後采取行动？调查工作最快也得花上几个月吧？

这一切是否有关连，是否有关连？

将Kugan的死因找出来有什么分别？

他已经死了。他死在大班警局内。

就算一个笨蛋也可以将两份验尸报告中的错误点出来，譬如

为什么第一份验尸报告写着他的内脏完好，而第二份报告却说第一次验尸没有解剖。要没解剖，如何知道内脏完好？

两名法医都应该有拍照吧？两下对照，我们就可知道谁在说谎，是不是？

那，我们需要进行怎样的调查？

我们要再花多少钱来证明牵涉者无罪？

卫生部还需要花多少时间在这起案子，当卫生部已被太多的紧急的保健问题弄得团团转？

这一切是否有关连，是否有关连？

将Kugan的死因找出来有什么分别？

他已经死了。他死在大班警局内。

请问卫生部长在那里？

Kugan - What is he talking about?

I was stunned when I read carefully the following news from Bernama (click title to obtain the original copy).

How can the DG of Health Ministry having a biased comment?

What is the purpose of Serdang pathologists revealing more injuries found in Kugan's body than those revealed by pathologist of the Universiti Hospital?

Is this a treasure hunt or competition that the one score the most (more detailed, more injuries documented) win the prize??

What matter most is the cause of death, which one said is due to water in Kugan's Lungs, and the other claimed Kugan was beaten until kidney failed, hence collapsed.

The DG went on citing that the patholigists in Hospital Serdang are professionals with 20 years of experience.

I agreed, you may have your experience, but even a layman like me know that, in order to find out the cause of death, the forensic pathologist must open up the body.

Look at the picture below, taken when Kugan's family managed to get near to Kugan's body after the first autopsy in Hospital Serdang. Look carefully...

Tell me now!!

TELL ME!!

Where is the cut on the body?

Anyone??

DG??? Minister??

Please....??

What kind of autopsy is this even the body is not cut and already concluded it is due to water in his lungs causing Kugan collapsed.

I am frighten by the 20 years experienced medical professionals from Hospital Serdang, or Universiti Putera Malaysia now. I am worried too.

So if anyone you know need to seek for medical consultation, Serdang will probably be the last choice judging from the level of professionalism DG claimed.

Ministry To Launch Independent Inquiry Into Kugan's Autopsies

KUALA LUMPUR, March 7 (Bernama) -- The Health Ministry will launch an independent probe into the two autopsy reports relating to the death of A. Kugan, 22, the suspected car thief who died while in the custody of the Taipan police station in Subang Jaya on Jan 20.

Health director-general Tan Sri Mohd Ismail Merican said the step was being taken to ensure impartiality following various allegations directed at the ministry over the matter.

He stressed that the Health Ministry did not hide the facts and findings of the post-mortem conducted by the Serdang Hospital as had been reported by certain parties.

"The forensic pathologist from Serdang Hospital, who has over 20 years experience, had performed his duty ethically and professionally while conducting the post-mortem examination.

So we have an ethical and professional forensic team from Serdang Hospital, right?

"Nevertheless, the Ministry of Health will be conducting a formal independent inquiry on both post-mortem reports in the interest of justice and fairplay and will inform the public the outcome of the investigation," he said in a statement here today.

A controversy arose on the Serdang Hospital post-mortem after a second autopsy done on the request of the deceased's family at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) indicated Kugan's death was due to multi organ failure because of severe beating.

The Serdang Hospital report had stated that death was due to fluid accumulation in his lungs.

Mohd Ismail said forensic pathologists conducting post-mortem examinations may have a difference in opinion as to the actual cause of death but what was important was that the findings during the examination should be almost similar as evidenced in this case, which for the lungs was pulmonary hemorrhage, edema and congestion.

But how the Serdang Hospital pathologist derived with the conclusion that fluid accumulated in Kugan's lungs, when they have NEVER open up the body?? They have an x-ray eyes that can see thru the body?

On the difference in the cause of death, he said it needed to be referred to independent forensic experts, based on the findings of the two pathologists doing the post-mortems.

He also dismissed claims by Kugan's family, which were reported by the Malaysiakini website, that the Serdang Hospital pathologist had listed 22 injuries on the body compared to the 40 additional injuries, burn marks and scratches indicated in the second report.

"The Serdang Hospital report showed 83 wounds and injuries. The description of each is more detailed in the Serdang Hospital report," he said, adding that the UMMC report was also not accurate as some of the wounds reported were caused by cutting during the first post-mortem examination.

No matter how detailed information is ducomented in the post-mortem, only the cause of death is relevant, isn't it?

He said the Serdang Hospital report made available to Kugan's family and published on the website was a comprehensive report while the record of the detailed findings and pictures taken during the first post-mortem were kept at the Serdang Hospital for court reference.

"It is not fair for anyone to make baseless allegations in this case as the Serdang Hospital pathologist had carried out his duties ethically and professionally," he said.

Mohd Ismail added that the ministry did not want discuss the cause of Kugan's death in the open and urged the public not to make any more baseless allegations until the responsible parties completed their investigations, including the ministry itself.

He further assured that the case would be given serious attention, but at the same time, said the ministry hoped the public would be patient until the independent panel completed its job.

TIME?? Time needed after the body is perished?? Why not done right at once instead?? How much is required for tax payers to pay for the independent forensic team on this??

308 - We are not there yet. 路途还遥远

It is a long march, it is a long journey。

We have started stepping onto the right track since 308.

Some said 308 is disastrous, some feel otherwise.

For me, it is a small step towards a just society, it is big step in Malaysia politics.

Yes, we have had roller-coaster ride, and thunderstorm ahead.

But are we going to turn back? Are we going to turn away? Are we going to allow some who wanted to continue harvesting from all of us by torturing our body and soul?

For me, I will not.

I will not turn back, I won't turn like Dolah, and I won't allow anyone who wanted to sit on top of our heads milking our very last drop of sweat and blood for their Rolls Royce, RM5million paycheck, and BIG diamond on the sole of the fat lady's shoes.

I will not.

WILL YOU?

这是一个长征，是一个遥远的路途。

在308，我们踏上了正确的第一步。

有人说308是一个灾难，但也有人认为是个好事。

对于我，它是朝向公平社会的一小步，是人民醒觉的一大步。

是的，我们因此经历了过山车似的路途，而且暴风雨就在前头。

不过我们是不是因此而回头？我们是不是要掉头走？我们是不是要容许他们继续不断的折磨我们的身心来获取他们的利益？

我不会

我不会回头，我不会像Dolah一样掉头走，我更加不会让任何人坐在我们的头上，为了他们的大洋房大房车、五百万年薪、还有那胖女人脚下镶有大钻石的鞋跟而将我们的血汗抽干。

我不会

你呢？

Kugan - strange choice of hospital for autopsy 为什么选更远的医院验尸？

I was wondering, why in the first place the police wanted to send the remain of Kugan from Balai Polis Taipan, Subang Jaya (Taipan Police Station, Subang Jaya), to Hospital Serdang, Universiti Putera Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, located approximately twice as far as Hospital Universiti, Petaling Jaya.

Perhaps someone from the Authority should answer this.

Below is the map and route required from Balai Polis Taipan, Subang Jaya to respective hospitals.

Funny, isn't it?

是不是很奇怪？为什么警方选择将Kugan的遗体送到布特拉大学医院验尸，而不是送到距离近一倍的马大医院呢？

奇怪？？！！

APPEAL BY PUSHPA, YB Manoharan's wife seeking for help! Please if you can!

Original article from Malaysia Today

I am truly overwhelmed and touched at the response from good people in Malaysia as well as abroad.

I am listing my particulars hereinafter-
Pushpaneela V N Suppiah-

Ambank (M) Berhad Account No:0830020014817

Many thanks,

Pushpa

Dear Fellow Malaysians,

It is not easy for me to write this appeal but I am compelled to as a result of what is happening to me and my family.

One of the reasons for the Government to put people away under the ISA is to break the spirit of the detained and at the same time create trepidation amongst family members thus disrupting the harmony therein.

Manoharan is a good son, son in-law, husband and a good father to our lovely three kids ranging from 9-11 years. My husband has aged parents and his mother is wheel-chair bound. They are both dependant on him for monthly expenses as well.

One year and two months have passed since my husband's detention. His recent appeal was rejected by the court, and we are told that he shall be in detention for two years.

Our three children are deprived of their social activities, love, guidance and they have lost confidence and constantly living in fear. They are also having nightmares so they are not themselves anymore. I am worried for them as I feel that they are scarred for life with this stigma that their father is a ‘prisoner’ what the future holds for them.

As you are aware my husband M. Manoharan was a legal adviser to the banned Hindraf and is currently under detention under ISA, without trial. He is a graduate in Economics from UM and also a law graduate from UK. He was having a reasonably successful legal practice in Suite B-4-1, Tower B.Plaza Pantai, Off Jalan Pantai Baru, Kuala Lumpur, under the name M. Manoharan & Co. He started his practice in 2001 with very little funds. I stopped work as a teacher and helped out in my husband’s legal firm. There have been many occasions when his firm has performed legal work free of charge for poor and destitute people.

I am a homemaker and now at a loss as to how to manage his law practice as there are no funds or new cases coming in. I tried to downsize his legal firm from ten staff to six staff from 1st Jan 2007 and have used up all our savings to maintain the office. I have also been issued a summons to settle the arrears in rental amounting to RM120K plus interest. Thus, I am in urgent need of financial assistance to help save his firm which is on the verge of closing down. His allowance as Member of Parliament puts food on the table but is far short of the monthly minimum required to pay bills.

I need to keep the firm afloat as this is important to keep my husband sane and give him a reason to push on. It will definitely break his heart and he will be devastated if the firm is closed down. I have exhausted and stretched my resources to the maximum to keep the firm running but cannot cope with the mounting pressure any more.

My husband has laid down his life, his career and his personal life to fight for the basic rights of right - thinking Malaysians and I am now appealing to the generosity of the same kind-hearted people to help us tide over this difficult period of settling our debts, which have chalked up due to my husband’s unfair detention without trial. I shall be grateful to receive whatever assistance to sustain the legal firm as well as to start paying up our outstanding debts.

Sincerely Yours,

Pushpa
