PERBURUAN RAKYAT BUKAN AKU



"Kesalahan bukan aku dengan mereka tetapi antara mereka dengan rakyat. Amanah kapada rakyat. Keadilan bukan berlandaskan aku, rakyat. Rakyat (negara) menghukum bukan aku. Perburuan bukan aku, rakyat". 

Lain2 negara sudah menghukum 1MDB kita baru menggeledah Najib. Ada rakyat perasan gundah, gelabah, celupar, bongok,  meroyan, melatah atas padah hukuman. Usah. Masa tidak berpihak kapada sesiapa.

APA GUNANYA BERTUDUNG!


Pelbagai halangan dan alasan telah dan sedang dibuat bagi pihak Umno/BN oleh Pejabat Pendaftar Pertubuhan Malaysia (ROS) untuk menggagalkan PPBM dan PH.

PPBM dan PH tahu segala usaha bagi mematuhi syarat ROS mungkin sia-sia namun kita terus berusaha sedaya upaya untuk memenuhinya.

Ketua Pengarah ROS, Surayati Ibrahim

THE HARIMAU NEEDS HELP


Talib Harimau (2nd right, 2012)  said that his father was the son Tengku Abdullah, a sibling of Sultan Mulut Merah of Kelantan. He left Kelantan for Pahang and called himself Awang Sulu and became a guru silat at Semantan. Then he went to Nenasi.



Many years ago his wife urged me to take him as my bodyguard. I was elated but I'm no millionaire!
















One of Talib's ilmu passed to me long time ago (left).
















Talib Harimau or Pak Itam as he would like to be called lives with his wife in a dilapidated wooden house at Kg. Badak, Kuantan on land that his brother had sold away. 

He is bed-ridden for more than a year. His wife said that he cannot talk but can understand what we say. He can take liquid food only. His only daughter died of womb cancer(?) some months ago. His two sons left and never take care of him.

For the last two months his welfare amounted to RM300/month has not been due. I have been sending some monthly allowance for a year or so. I used to visit him years ago, the last time was in 2012. I wish I could do more but my wife needs frequent cancer treatment.

For whatever small contributions he has done for Pahang (and Kelantan) he should not be forsaken. They are in dire need of financial assistance and healthcare. Pak Itam is on the death-bed and would not last much longer.

LIP SERVICE ON RICE


(Comment in Life of Annie's blog on Padi Rescue)

Whether Padi Rescue is registered or not is not an issue. Any informal or formal group can voice its concern for the security of our staple food.

Musonnef's problem with Bernas is his personal matter and so is his bankruptcy. In my opinion, being a concerned party he is at liberty to be with or even lead the Padi Rescue. We are talking about food on the table not only for now but future generations.

Strange that just because Bernas is established LPN cannot go on functioning. The two organisations can work and complement each other. Bernas' s scope is quite limited whereas that of LPN is extensive though not comprehensive.
Padi and rice production involves a myriad of activities to include soil and water management, improved seeds, field management, disease and pest problem, harvesting, milling, storage, quality control, marketing to list some.

When Muhyidin was the Minister of Agriculture then, Sustainable Living Institute submitted a memorandum to establish a Padi Board to include a Rice Research Institute in its ambit. Please refer our earlier posting in this blog on a copy of the memorandum to the Minister.

Although MARDI is doing rice research but lack the focus and funding because it involves with so many crops.

Malaysia has been talking towards self-sufficiency for many many years but lack the concrete policies and ideas how to spearhead to the goal. We merely pay lip service and has no political will power to accomplish it.

Take for example Japan, it is self-sufficient in rice. Their state of research is advanced. At one time they have more than 50 scientists working on the rice genome alone not to mention other aspects of rice research. In MARDI we have less than 20 researchers in rice! Its rice gene bank is under funded.
