The LGBT issue

-
We are expressing our grave surprise and shock over the statement by woman deputy minister saying this in the parliamentary session that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community are not protected constitutionally.

First of all, what does she mean not protected constitutionally? Does the Federal Constitution state exactly what gender are not protected constitutionally? What we saw in Article 8 (1) and (2), is that it only mention that there will be no discrimination against any gender, religion, race, birth place and descent.

The interpretation made by a member of the Barisan Nasional (BN) government itself is inaccurate and wrong as the view given was seen as purely the deputy minister's own opinion. Should the BN government were to endorse the view of the deputy minister, what then will the BN government's policy on the LGBT community at large?

How will the authorities or religious enforcement going to handle such situation should the BN government decides to layout its affirmative on how to treat these LGBT community? Will the LGBT community be denied their basic human rights and their constitutional rights as well. Are the LGBT going to treated like non-humans, since the deputy minister had said that this community is not protected constitutionally?

The other thing is, why is the BN government and its authorities treating the LGBT community like criminals and look at them as the source of prostitution or vice? Why view them negatively, when they are trying to strive hard to make ends meet? They are trying to lead a decent live too and why is the government blocking their way to do so?

These LGBT people are not breaking the law at all. It is just that they are not born in a proper manner. So, why blame them for all these? Why blame their parents? Why need to use the Syariah law or the civil law to penalize them? Will their gender just return to normal after the law penalize them?

Generally, it is after all the assaults and harassment against the LGBT people by the authorities or the religious enforcement personnel, it resulted this community into many kinds of illegal and vice activities because they are not allowed even to earn their decent living at all.

As such, the BN government ought to be blamed for the increase of such negative elements in the country and with the deputy minister's declaration in parliament on the LGBT not being protected constitutionally, it is expected to make thing worst for the nation.

What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?

We guess, many of you would be wondering why are we asking such question, “What has MCA done to the Chinese community in Malaysia?” Obviously, none of us would ever realize the real and terrible impact that MCA has made onto the Malaysian Chinese and if they were to see this, the definite question too would be, “done what?”, “don’t know”, “not aware”, “none of our business”, or even, “we don't want to know at all”. The inception of MCA in 1949 can be traced back from the origins of the Chinese Kuomintang (KMT) and its chapter in the then Malaya, which was famously known as Kuomintang Malaya (KMT Malaya). In aftermath of the Second World War and the defeat of the KMT forces in China in 1949, the KMT Malaya has began to move towards transforming its Malayan chapter into a local Chinese based organization in order to preserve its existence and long term political opportunity in this county. And this is how MCA was born in February 1949, where the party later teamed up...

Perlukah sesebuah gabungan parti politik kekal secara wajib?

Daripada keadaan politik dalam negara ini, kita telahpun dan sedang memerhati beberapa buah gabungan parti-parti politik yang terkini, iaitu Barisan Nasional (BN) yang kekal begitu lama dengan parti komponen utama Umno memonopoli semua aspek keputusan di dalam gabungan dan kerajaan yang diterajui oleh mereka. Di pihak Pakatan Rakyat (PR) pula ianya merupakan sebuah gabungan parti-parti pembangkang utama, PKR, DAP dan PAS yang bekerjasama secara longgar dan masing-masing mempunyai kedudukan yang setaraf di antara satu sama lain. Di tengah-tengah kancah cabar mencabar di antara BN dan PR, terdapat satu lagi alternatif yang kini sedang menonjol, Gabungan Kiri Malaysia (GKM) yang merangkumi gabungan parti politik bercampur dengan pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang kini dianggotai oleh Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM), sebagai peneraju utama GKM, diikuti dengan Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia (SAMM), Pusat Sejarah Rakyat dan Collective Intelligence serta beberapa individu yang te...

We all knew that during the Second World War (WW2) in the Asian continent, the Imperial Japan had aggressively used its military force to conquer many parts of Asia, particularly Korea, Manchuria, some parts of Eastern Russia and largely China. Japan's aggression was later expanded to many parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific theatre. During these aggression, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy were well-known for its atrocities against civilians. The most famous one was marked in the Nanking Massacre in 1937, when the Chinese Nationalist government's capital fell into the hands of the Imperial Japan. Millions of Chinese civilians, men and women, children, senior citizens, sick people, babies were systematically murdered, women and children were captured, raped and then slaughtered, many cities, counties and homes were torched which caused total destruction of much of China's population. Asides, the Japanese military aggression and atrocities had also expanded t...
