Keris, Cangkul and Tepak Sireh


Originally wanted to do this post in March 2008, but did not do it. Anyway, while reading Hishammuddin Bin Tun Hussein's wikipedia can't help but "laugh" at the extend Pakatan Rakyat supporters would do, to corrupt the cyberinformation. It was mentioned in Hishammuddin's wikipedia that for the 2008 UMNO Youth General Assembly he will bring the "cangkul". Read the so called information on the snapshot of Hishammuddin's wikipedia above by clicking on that pix.

I may have a better suggestion. I suggest that UMNO youth use the South-East-Asian version of the "peace pipe" during their ceremonial procession. Growing up watching cowboy movies, Red Indians would settle their differences while smoking the peace pipe.

The South-East-Asian nearest version to the " peace pipe" would be the Tepak Sireh. Now it is mainly use in Malay weddings and some special celebratory occasions. It consist usually of the sireh, a leaf that once chewed releases a mild stimulant which is often served with grounded lime, a few slices of betel nut and others.

Malay celebratory procession can consist of many types of paraphernalia not just the keris, why not the tepak sireh, etc.

So the next time instead of kissing and hoisting Keris Panca Warisan, Hishammuddin can invite all Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Rakyat youth leaders for a round or two of sireh chewing sessions.
P.S. Sitting Bull once said that there is no such thing as a peace pipe because there has never been peace. The pipe is sacred to many people, and we treat it with much respect. It teaches us just as the Bible teaches Christians. We never put illegal narcotics into a pipe, so people can't get "high" from smoking one. We use blessed tobacco and often add other herbs, such as spearmint, red willow bark, and bearberry leaves, for a pleasant taste or aroma.

又一民政领袖效劳民盟政府 Another Politic frog? What is your comment ?
陈记光受委雪土地委会主席
黄凌风 | 5月28日 晚上8点47分

tan kee kong interview 240805 forward thinking继李家全之后,又有一名民政党领袖将为人民联盟州政府效劳!雪州政府今日宣布,委任民政党联邦直辖区主席陈记光(左图)出任该州土地发展调查委员会主席。

由人民联盟执政的雪州,今日在行政议会会议后,仿效槟城政府委任前民政党副总秘书李家全的做法,委任陈记光领导一个特别工作队,专司研究州内的土地管理事务、政策和问题,并向州政府建议解决方案。

雪州大臣卡立依布拉欣在新闻发布会上表示,这个工作队将拥有6名成员,除了陈记光之外,另一名联合主席是聂莫哈末再因(Nik Mohd Zain bin Nik Mohd Yusof)。

前土地部秘书长任联合主席

陈记光曾於1999年至2004年出任土地及合作社发展部副部长,而聂莫哈末再因则在1996年至2002年期间出任该部的秘书长。

卡立表示,有鉴于上述两人的工作经验,相信他们对于土地事务拥有资深的经验。

他说,雪州政府非常关注州内的土地管理问题,因此上述特别工作队也将探讨州政府所实施的电子土地计划(e-tanah)成效。

认识卡立逾廿载,友人献意

陈记光告诉《当今大马》,他是为了“协助面对诸多土地问题的雪州人民”,才接受雪州政府的委任。

他说,早在他於1995年踏入政坛前,就已经认识卡立依布拉欣,两人相识已超过廿载。

陈记光透露,一名两人都认识的朋友在两周前献意他出任上述职位,结果他答应有关的委任。

他也有出席今天的雪州行政议会上,并获得全体行政议员的支持。

询及他为民盟州政府效劳,是否会担心被民政党纪律对付的问题时,陈记光表示,政党应该是一个协助人民的平台,他是基于这个原则才接受雪州政府的委任。

步李家全后尘退党?言之过早

针对他是否会步李家全的后尘退党时,陈记光淡淡的回答说,目前言之过早,一切胥视局势的发展而定。

虽然坊间传言他有意在来届民政党党选挑战党主席一职,但是陈记光今日受询时,却全推到媒体身上,指一切都是媒体的揣测。

“这些只是媒体制造的谣言。我没有这么说过,不是从我口中说出来的。”

李家全是在4月20日,接受槟州首席部长林冠英委任,出掌两个负责规划槟州经济的要职,即槟州发展机构(PDC)董事,以及投资槟城(Invest Penang)董事兼执行委员会主席。

李家全在接受委任时,透露本身是以槟州子民身份接受委任,并宣布退隐活跃政治,只保留民政党的党员身份。但是随后,他却收到民政党所发出的纪律信函要求他解释为何不应被对付。遭到多名党领袖批评下,李家全随即宣布退出民政党和抽离政党政治,以平息委任的争议。他也是自大选后首位退出民政党的高层领袖。

在李家全宣布退党后,以陈记光为首的一群民政党联邦直辖区领袖,曾炮轰该党前主席林敬益“逼走”李家全,并违背其不干预党务的承诺。

Where did you get these "Sitting Bull" words?
Your expression of thoughts on Sacred Pipe seem well-intentioned but you are very poorly informed. Sacred Pipe is not a casual object which can end up in the hands of just anyone. Real sacred Pipes are the property of tribal elders and persons who hold and receive sacred Pipe are choosen by these people. You are just making all this up no doubt about a not very sacred pipe you have purchased somewhere or stolen. The entire context of your post is offensive and reveals not knowledge but arrogance.

Sacredpipe:

Info found on the following native american site -- http://www.bluecorncomics.com/stbasics.htm

I think what Sitting Bull said is exactly the gist of your own comment.

"The Sacred Pipe is sacred."

If I offend you, please accept my apology.

Thank for your comment, it is good to know that my post is read so far away.

How u know its Pakatan Rakyat!

Please provide evidence, if not everything you say is bullshit!

From my info, its Gerakan members who are angry because of Kerismuddin you guys lost the election and hence this kerja buruk!

My advice, gerakan please be brave and stab from front! Why Gerakan always stab from behind, like how they stab Chinese people from behind and kiss Malay foot!

Go and read Hishammuddin wikipedia yourself. Study it carefully, you will know it is Pakatan Rakyat supporters work of corruption.

You are also the same as those info-corruptors. You are adulterating my postings with so much lies under various names. Don't think I am that stupid.
