DR CHUA SOI LEK’S TORNADO TONGUE DO NOT RESPECT ISLAM AND NOW OUT TO TRYING TO DEMOLISH THE INSTUTION OF SULTANATE OF JOHORE



Dr Chua Soi Lek’s   tornado  tongue do  not  respect Islam and out to  trying to demolish  the instution of Sultanate of Johore with help of Jewan Kaur, FMT
 Jewan Kaur says rakyat is at the crossroads when it comes to challenging subjugation, be it reclaiming their basic rights or taking the authorities to task over their misdemeanours.
However, the issue of “deify royalty at all costs” has reached a saturation point. Are the people of this country not “good enough” to question or reflect their unhappiness over such unwise spending by a Sultan?
Twelve years ago, Sultan Ibrahim, then crown prince of Johor, owed the traffic police RM26,700 in summonses. Did the traffic police dare ask that he settle the huge outstanding amount? No, not a soul had the guts. It was out of sheer embarassment that he paid up the fines after news about it reached the Press.
More “drama” was in store. In 2005, a brawl occurred on Pulau Rawa after a Johor prince allegedly gatecrashed a wedding party. The prince ordered some guests off the island after a fight broke out when a woman refused to dance with one of the gatecrashers.
Among those arrested was a 20-year-old prince from the Johor royal family and the police very “kindly” decided to keep the names of the culprits “private and confidential”.
Moral outrage
There is no denying that respect has to be “earned” but when it comes to the monarchy, the motto is that respect has to be “absolute”. But do they truly deserve the rakyat’s unconditional reverence?
The rakyat has not forgotten the royal families’ misdemeanours, particularly those by Tunku Ibrahim’s late father, Sultan Mahmud Iskandar, a man of turbulent temper and with the nickname “Moody” to boot.
The nation still remembers the “Douglas Gomez” incident that happened in November 1992. Gomez, a coach for the Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar field hockey team, was unhappy at being asked to withdraw from the semi-final national hockey match by the Johor Education Department director.
Needless to say, Sultan Mahmud Iskandar was not pleased and personally summoned Gomez to his palace, Istana Bukit Serene. At the palace, the Sultan not only reprimanded Gomez but also assaulted him.
This incident provoked a nationwide moral outrage that resulted in constitutional amendments that no longer gave members of the royalty immunity from the law.
Sadly, some lessons are never learned and abuse of “privileges” continues.
Seven years ago, a member of the Malaysian royalty apparently assaulted a young woman called Yasmin, whom he accused of two-timing him with another policeman.
Another victim, Rahim Mohd Nor, who was allegedly assaulted by a royal member, described his assault as an act of sadism.
By the way, was the Sedition Act 1948 not amended after the “Douglas Gomez” incident to allow public criticism of the rulers? So why the hostility towards Nizar for questioning the RM520,000 “wastage”?
Why is it that when the rakyat turns around and questions members of the royalty, “all hell breaks loose”. Why the hypocrisy?
MCA Don’t respect Islam now MCA Minister proof indirectly above Sultan
The evidence or argument that compels the mind to accept an assertion as true. 2. a. The validation of a proposition by application of specified MCA president Dr Chua Soi Lek  Tongue Tornado!not to  respect Islam and  trying to demolish the instution of Sultanate of Johore - it is not from right hand to left hand, it should be from the Treasury’s right pocket to his left pocket.
Since the scandalous issue exposed, can anybody counts how many lies were created by these leaders trying to answer a simple question?
‘You mean to say Liow ranks higher than the Johor sultan? Even the sultan has to bid for the number plate.’
Sultan Ibrahim Ismail, had to tender  paid for it Is Liow Tiong Lai  above our Sultan?
Yes…he has to explain…Even our Sultan paid for it and there are people who are not happy even though my Sultan go through a normal process and paid by using his money. But look at this idiot…he got it free…How could this happen….I want the govt to return back our Sultan money…
MCA already in deep waters,why want to go deeper unless theres more to it than meets the eye? No umnoputras got the WWW car plate free? Is MCA being slowly buried by some top order?Thats a serious thought to ponder by MCA!
Now it is not a question of money, but the lies to cover up something which could have been straightforward. Getting the car plate number for free does not exonerate Liow from being a liar.
Even the Johor sultan, Sultan Ibrahim Ismail, had to tender and at a record sum.Now it is not a question of money, but the lies to cover up something which could have been straightforward. Getting the car plate number for free does not exonerate Liow from being a liar.The problem with BN is that any improvement on transparency and accountability is likely to encounter pressure from certain lobby groups for special treatment.Thus a straightforward deal looks clouded with secret wheeling and dealing. I guess it all started with the Health Ministry official given the task of registering an official car for the minister.He was empowered to tender within certain limit. But since it was made public and amid public outcry over the huge sum, Liow tried to pull himself out the issue … and with disastrous result.Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai could not tell earlier that who should pay the RM24,200 for the WWW 15 vehicle registration number he won in a recent tender for his official car. However, he said yesterday that the Road Transport Department (RTD) has notified him that the number plate would be issued free.
Such an argument is in line with former Human Resources Minister Tan Sri Dr Fong Chan Onn’s remarks. However, when answering reporter’s questions on behalf of Liow earlier, former Health Minister Datuk Dr Chua Soi Lek said that the money was just going “from the left hand to the right hand” as all the money goes to a government consolidated fund from all ministries.
There is a contradiction between Liow’s argument and Chua’s explanation.
Meanwhile, the RTD stressed that the person who had bid the number plat would have to pay for it. Then who has paid the money?
If the minister did not pay it, are ministry secretary-generals, ministry director generals and deputy ministers enjoying the same benefit?
If it was paid by the ministry, the money will eventually go into the Treasury through the RTD and thus, it is going “from the left hand to the right hand”.
There are many questions to be answered. However, a principle that cannot be compromised would be, if the money was paid by the ministry, the number plat would then be a government asset and the minister cannot bring the number plat with him if he leaves his post, regardless of how meaningful the number is to him.Therefore, they should still make it clear why the number plat WWW 15 should be issued for free while other people have to pay, as it relates to public interest.It is actually confusing that a number plate tender can actually bring so many problems. It shows that the government’s operation lacks transparency while the regulations are not clear enough or having a grey area, confusing even ministers and officials.The problem with BN is that any improvement on transparency and accountability is likely to encounter pressure from certain lobby groups for special treatment.Thus a straightforward deal looks clouded with secret wheeling and dealing. I guess it all started with the Health Ministry official given the task of registering an official car for the minister.He was empowered to tender within certain limit. But since it was made public and amid public outcry over the huge sum, Liow tried to pull himself out the issue … and with disastrous result.
Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha must explain why his MCA colleague Datuk Seri Dr Liow Tiong Lai received the WWW 15 vehicle registration number for free, the DAP has said.
“There are no free numbers unless there is an exemption by the transport minister,” DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said today, referring to Kong.
Kong is MCA secretary-general while Liow is the party’s deputy president.
Liow has said the Road Transport Department (RTD) had given the WWW 15 vehicle registration number to him for free, deepening the mystery as to why the number was valued at RM24,200 in the first place on the department website.
WWW 15 is among the vehicle registration numbers in the WWW series that helped bring in some RM12 million for the RTD. An unnamed officer earlier said that the name listed as the winning bidder had to pay up, be it an organisation or an individual.
“Kong Cho Ha, did you exercise your powers reasonably? Is it not an abuse of power?
“What JPJ (RTD) did was correct, you must bid for the number to increase the revenue,” Lim added.
“Kong Cho Ha has to answer. There are now two big question marks on the part of Liow and Kong,” the DAP leader said.
Before claiming that WWW 15 was given to him for free, Liow had at first said yesterday that he was not sure who paid the RM24,200 for the registration number.
He however confirmed that the Health Ministry did not pay for the bid but defended himself by saying that the “process (of bidding) was handled by JPJ (RTD).”
Pressed for answers over who paid for the bid, Liow said “not sure, I have to check”.
“All ministers are eligible for one number; I didn’t exercise the option earlier,” Liow had said.
“Numbers to me are not important; what is more important is service to the people,” he added.
Thousands of people had thronged the three Kuala Lumpur RTD branches to place their bids for the coveted WWW numbers.

From sticking out one’s tongue in defiance, to carelessly spoken words that can cause a lifetime’s regret, the tongue can be the source of real trouble!Draupadi called Karna “a charioteer’s son” rejecting him at her swayamvar. She lived to regret her words and lusted for the man through her life; Karna never forgave her that slight. Later, at her Palace of Illusions, drunk on her husbands’ success, Draupadi laughed at Duryodhana as he stumbled and fell, saying “Son of a blind man would be blind himself” . That slight led to her disrobing , which led to the battle of Mahabharata.Words uttered in haste, without consideration , often lead one to big trouble. Wrongful acts are often easier to forgive or forget, but hurtful words keep playing on the mind and heart. A lashing of the tongue can sometimes be more severe than physical hurt. Words uttered irresponsibly cannot be taken back and often have the power to change our lives. Look at how a few words spoken under influence of drugs and alcohol put paid to the upward rise of one of the world’s most talented designers, John Galliano.Just three words uttered together “Talaq , talaq , talaq” can sever marital ties forever ; no wonder Islam warns proponents to utter the words only after serious consideration and family consultation . Not just anger, even words uttered in humour can have the potential for disaster . Recently a man jokingly typed “talaq , talaq , talaq” thrice in a skype chat with his wife. In a fix when he realized the significance of what he had done, he sought clarification. A ruling issued by Darul Uloom Deobandi, one of Islam’s leading authorities on religious law, clarified that his divorce was real and the woman would have to remarry another man, and be with her second husband for a year before she could divorce him to remarry her first husband.In a free-wheeling conversation, a senior colleague known for his philosophical world views said, “You know, the tongue is the source of all trouble – it makes you say things you never meant to say! Then consider taste, which also resides in the tongue. The tongue makes you overeat, which results not just in being overweight, but in innumerable health problems as well!”Golden words indeed, and they set me thinking. Remember all doctors ask you to poke your tongue out for diagnostic purposes? The texture and colour of the tongue can apparently give a doctor a good indication of your general health condition . The same tongue poked out without the doctor’s suggestion can be construed in many different manners. In movies of yore, the heroine would poke out her little pinky at the hero in a flirtatious gesture before running away just beyond reach. A nervous flick of the tongue to hastily moisten dry lips can be a very seductive gesture calculated to drive a man wild! Children use poking of the tongue as a derisive or challenging gesture , often accompanied by showing the thumb too.I remember a group family picnic at Surajkund as a child. Wandering away from our parents, we were accosted by some beer swiveling aggressive youngsters who got a kick out of scaring us with shouts and lewd gestures. We ran away from them, but just as we were almost on safe ground, one of the kids in the group turned around, thrust out his tongue and showed a thumb (today’s equivalent would be showing the finger) to them. This enraged the guys and they ran towards us throwing their bottles in our direction . Thankfully we had reached the area where our parents sat and those were the days when just the sight of adults was still enough to scare away even drunk young men!
Indeed, by disciplining this one bag of muscles, the tongue, one can claim to have achieved control over a major part of one’s life! Many are the emotions the tongue achieves for us. Surprise and regret are also depicted by a poking out of the tongue and biting it.
Ever wondered why Goddess Kali is always portrayed with her red tongue thrust out and dancing on Lord Shiva’s body? According to the Markandeya Purana, in her form as Goddess Durga, when Kali’s anger against the demons Sambhuand Nishambu couldn’t be controlled and she kept on her path of destruction , the Gods enlisted the help of her consort Lord Shiva. Shiva lay down amongst the demons on whose bodies Durga was dancing. When she realized that she was dancing on her husband Shiva’s body, stunned, Durga thrust out her tongue in surprise and regret and remained frozen. That is the way the Goddess is depicted always now.
Of course the tongue, an essential tool in speech for humans, is also responsible for many pleasures. Sweet-tongued talk has the power of healing and pleasuring as nothing else does. Silver tongued are those people who with smartalecky talk can worm their way into hearts or through tough situations. Indeed, we are often warned about people who talk too sweetly! For every John Galliano who paved the path to his destruction with the help of an irresponsible tongue, there are many who sweet-talk their path up fanstastic careers.
Coming to animal tongues, a serpentine tongue depicts deceit and untruthfulness, as a serpent’s tongue is forked. Human tongues have just one tip, which signifies the unity of truthful speech. It testifies to the fact that there is one truth, but many lies. If a dog’s laving tongue is an indication of its loyalty and love for us, we use the poor buffalo’s tongue as a delicacy to be savoured. Considered an exotic meat high on nutritional value, buffalo’s tongue has also been used by native American Indians as a fly-swatters , or hollowed out for baby shoes!
Coming back to more ‘palatable’ uses of the tongue, tongue-in-cheek humour is widely appreciated while a slip of the tongue can cause acute embarrassment at times. And then of course, tongue twisters have forever been a source of joy. To wind up, let’s try out this traditional one…
She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
The shells she sells are sea-shells, I’m sure.
For if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore
Then I’m sure she sells sea-shore shells.
