The Internationale





起来,饥寒交迫的奴隶!
起来,全世界受苦的人!
满腔的热血已经沸腾,
要为真理而斗争!
旧世界打个落花流水,
奴隶们起来,起来!
不要说我们一无所有,
我们要做天下的主人!

(副歌)
这是最后的斗争,
团结起来到明天,
英特纳雄耐尔
就一定要实现!
这是最后的斗争,
团结起来到明天,
英特纳雄耐尔
就一定要实现!
第二段
从来就没有什么救世主,
也不靠神仙皇帝!
要创造人类的幸福,
全靠我们自己!
我们要夺回劳动果实,
让思想冲破牢笼!
快把那炉火烧得通红,
趁热打铁才会成功!

(副歌)
这是最后的斗争,
团结起来到明天,
英特纳雄耐尔
就一定要实现!
这是最后的斗争,
团结起来到明天,
英特纳雄耐尔
就一定要实现!

第六段
是谁创造了人类世界?
是我们劳动群众!
一切归劳动者所有,
哪能容得寄生虫!
最可恨那些毒蛇猛兽,
吃尽了我们的血肉!
一旦把它们消灭干净,
鲜红的太阳照遍全球!

(副歌)
这是最后的斗争,
团结起来到明天,
英特纳雄耐尔
就一定要实现!
这是最后的斗争,
团结起来到明天,
英特纳雄耐尔
就一定要实现!




Bangunlah kaum yang terhina!
Bangunlah kaum yang lapar!
Meng’glora dendam dalam dada,
Kita berjuang ’tuk kebenaran.
Hancurkan seluruh dunia lama,
Kaum budak, bangun, bangun!
Kita yang kini hina-papa,
Akan menguasai dunia.

Perjuangan penghabisan,
Bersatu berlawan!
Internasionale
Pastilah di dunia!

Tiada maha-juru-s’lamat,
Tidak Tuhan atau raja.
Kebahagiaan umat-manusia
Harus kita sendiri cipta.
Bebaskan jiwa dari penjara,
Rebut kembali hasil kerja.
Kobarkan api, seg’ra tempa
Selagi baja membara!

Perjuangan penghabisan,
Bersatu berlawan!
Internasionale
Pastilah di dunia!

Kitalah kaum buruh dan tani,
Tentara-kerja perkasa.
Bumi hanya milik pekerja,
Benalu tak berhak serta.
Cukup sudah darah-kringat terhisap,
Saat pasti akan tiba.
Setan siluman musnah lenyap,
Surya cemerlang senantiasa!

Perjuangan penghabisan,
Bersatu berlawan!
Internasionale
Pastilah di dunia!

Outstanding student but gov't couldn't care less

Here is another sad story of top-scorer and well-performing student not getting a place in the Public Service Department (PSD) scholarship.
How are we going to stop the brain drain if such incident continue to happen every year? The Singapore Medical Council with effective from 2010 will recognise the Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) offered by University of Malaya (UM) and National University of Malaysia (UKM).
I was told that 80% of MBBS fresh graduates from UM and UKM are likely to be employed by their Singaporean employers. This means there will be further brain drain for our beloved nation.
What is the Prime Minister going to do? I wonder if he has the answers.
Outstanding student but gov't couldn't care less
Parents of A | Jun 9, 10 5:04pm
Malaysiakini.com
Let me give you an example of the education system of this country. My son - and I name him as just 'A' - finished his schooling and sat for his SPM exams in 2009 Here is a short note on him. In his Standard 6 exams, he scored all As except for Bahasa Malaysia which he scored a B.
In his Form 3, he scored all As except for BM which he scored a B. In his Form 5 (SPM) he scored 9A's and a B+ for his Moral Studies. He studied at the Kelana Jaya secondary school and his primary at the Kampung Tunku primary school.
I wish to say here that the Kelana Jaya secondary school is an excellent school from what I know. The Principal and her team of teachers are incredibly dedicated. I truly wish every school had this same breed of teachers.
Our son 'A' was the winner of the Vijaya Shankar Paramsothy Trophy which was named after the son of an ex-school mate who perished in the Sept 11 World Trade Centre tragedy in the US. This trophy is awarded to the top most students of the year. 'A' also had an excellent track record in school having been an active student in extracurricular activities be it debating, sports etc.
He was also the assistant head prefect of this school. He has an excellent persona in the sense he is well-liked by every schoolmate and teachers. He equally shows deep love for his schoolmates and teachers.
Having said the above, what distressed us most was that he was rejected by the PSD for his dentistry course of study. Is this how a child is appreciated at the end of the day after having been an outstanding student in school?
What steps are taken to show a deep appreciation for good students in this country? Or is the said ministry merely dependent on their computer to pick out some names based on some criteria? What happens to the student who in real life exhibited the perfect criteria for a future talent useful to this country?
Let me add here we applied to TAR college for his A-level admission and most surprisingly, he was admitted with a full scholarship. If TAR college could identify a promising student irrespective of caste, creed or community then what ails our own government from doing the same? Over now to the minister of education.

Selangor tawar RM5000 untuk banteras kegiatan curi pasir

KENYATAAN AKHBAR
9 JUN 2010
KERAJAAN NEGERI TAWAR RM5,000 UNTUK BANTERAS KEGIATAN CURI PASIR
SHAH ALAM: Kerajaan Selangor menawarkan ganjaran RM5,000 kepada Ketua Kampung, Ahli Jawatankuasa Keselamatan dan Kemajuan Kampung (JKKK) dan kakitangan kerajaan yang berjaya melumpuhkan kegiatan mencuri pasir di kawasan kampung mereka.
Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri (MMKN) yang bermesyuarat hari ini bersetuju menawarkan ganjaran kepada mereka sebagai insentif kerana bersama-sama membantu Kerajaan Negeri membanteras aktiviti mencuri pasir yang membekalkan 75 peratus permintaan pasir di negeri ini.
Mereka yang berjaya menahan jentera-jentera yang digunakan untuk mencuri pasir boleh menuntut ganjaran itu dari Kerajaan Negeri. Syarat dan peraturan ganjaran tersebut akan diumukan dalam masa terdekat ini.
Insentif ini adalah untuk menggalakkan kakitangan kerajaan di peringkat akar umbi untuk bersama membantu Kerajaan Negeri dalam membanteras kegiatan mencuri pasir yang telah merugikan rakyat.
Setakat ini, penjualan pasir secara halal hanya menguasai 25 peratus daripada pasaran yang bernilai kira-kira RM25 juta. Jika kegiatan mencuri pasir ini berjaya dilumpuhkan, kita akan memperoleh pendapatan RM75 juta setahun.
Kerajaan Negeri mengulang pendirian tidak bertolak ansur dengan kegiatan mencuri pasir dan tidak akan melindungi sesiapa yang terlibat tidak mengira status atau pangkat termasuklah wakil rakyat, pegawai kerajaan atau keluarga mereka.
Mereka yang mempunyai maklumat berkenaan salah guna kuasa dan rasuah digalakkan membuat laporan.
Berkenaan pengurusan Kumpulan Semesta Sdn Bhd (KSSB) seperti yang dibentangkan dalam pendengaran awam Selcat, Kerajaan Negeri telah mengarahkan KSSB untuk memberi senarai gaji dan bayaran bonus kepada kakitangannya untuk dikaji.
Sebagai kerajaan yang mementingkan ketelusan dan kebertanggungjawaban, kami amat terbuka kepada kritikan membina dan cadangan untuk menambah baik pengurusan KSSB.
Kita juga komited menambah pendapatan aktiviti penjualan pasir dan batu galian kerana hasilnya akan member manfaat kepada rakyat melalui program Merakyatkan Ekonomi Selangor.

蔡智勇出任副农长对国家人民是否是最好的安排?

33岁的蔡智勇最近升职加薪,成为最近首相内阁改组之中担任正副部长之中最年轻的一名。“代夫从政”的蔡智勇是一名专业会计师,从政之前在国内一家商业银行出任高职。
蔡细历性爱光碟丑闻爆发之后,蔡智勇作为蔡细历长子被迫代替父亲在拉美士国会议席上证,第一次上征就以4千多张多数票拉倒沙登国会议员张念群的姐姐,张颖群。
有别于其他马华的公子哥儿,也有别于其他马华代议士,蔡智勇在各项涉及国家经济状况有一定的见解,这可能与他是本科出生,再加上从政之前曾经在一家相当具规模的商业银行出任高职,可谓年轻有为。
一般人认为蔡智勇能够出任副农长,乃是因为他是蔡细历的长子。尤其是当蔡细历本身不能出任上议员和部长之际,蔡智勇就必须扛起出任副部长的重担。委任蔡智勇为副部长的部分原因肯定是因为他和蔡细历的父子关系。虽然如此,出任副农长就是蔡智勇最能够胜任的职位吗?
拿同样出任副财长的林祥才和农业部长诺奥玛相比,蔡智勇的个人形象与智慧肯定比前面两者强得多。
林祥才则是一名在全国大选以5千多张多数票败给现任八打灵再也南区国会议员许来贤的前副部长,从政以来一直是一名“diam-diam”型的议员。重大课题甚少发言,甭说是经济课题。诺奥玛则是莽夫一名,出任副内长是发表“华裔不满可回唐山”的言论、乌雪补选期间更是口不择言发表“华裔感恩论”。
因此,虽然蔡智勇的从政资历尚浅,但是我质疑到底蔡智勇出任副农长是否是最好的安排,尤其是他的新人顶头上司表现不比他标清,再加上蔡智勇是本科出生,出任副财长肯定是如鱼得水。

汤木的谬论——禁止赌球合法化基于人民利益

马华雪州公共投诉局主任汤木昨日发表歪论,指责民联执政的雪兰莪和槟城州政府禁止赌球合法化的做法“政治动机强烈,更立下了州政府和中央政府采取对抗及不合作先例,最后受害的将是人民。”
身为律师的汤木不能不知道,根据1976年地方政府法令第107条文,批准商业执照是地方政府的权限。地方政府有权力决定是否要发放商业执照与否,而在马来西亚联邦宪法,地方政府食物是属于州政府的权限。因此,雪槟吉丹四州州政府不允许地方政府发放商业执照给赌球活动的投注站是完全符合现有的法律架构,并没有违反任何法律或宪法。
第二、汤木说这会打击外资对我国的信心,因此最终受害的人民。汤木这番说辞言夸其实。毕竟赌球活动是属于受限制的商业活动,汤木并不能把这种活动等同于其他商业活动。
第三、汤木说赌球活动能够“规范和管制非凡赌球活动”。这是谬论。如果政府能够把某一个赌博活动合法化来抑制非法赌博活动,那么政府允许合法万字票投注活动多年,地下万字票投注活动老早就应该不存在,为何地下万字票投注活动不仅没有销声匿迹,反之越来越猖獗?
另外,已经染上赌球瘾的赌徒不会因为赌球投注合法化而选择合法赌球,反之他们更因为地下赌球能够带来更高的回酬而继续投注在非法赌球投注活动。联邦政府把赌球合法化,也间接提供一个机会给不曾赌球的人士参与赌球,结果就是涉及赌球的国民(不管是合法的还是非法的)都会以倍数增长。
即使汤木不接受民联的政策,那么他至少应该聆听马华加埔区会和吧生区会。这两个区会上周在吧生召开反对政府吧赌球活动合法化的签名运动。同属马华党员的汤木也应该了解为何连马华基层本身也反对赌球合法化。
有者也认为赌球合法化对穆斯林社会不会造成影响。这是企图以二分化的方式看待问题。既然不会影响穆斯林社会,那么这肯定影响非穆斯林社会,尤其是华裔社会。赌博是华裔社会的丑习。我对一些来自国阵的友族领袖把赌博看成是华裔社会的习惯而感到遗憾。华裔社会,不管是信奉基督教、佛教、道教还是儒家思想的,无一不反对赌博。
和汤木所言相反,民联州政府反对联邦政府把赌球活动合法化是基于人民的利益、维持国人家庭和谐为考量。

The Federal Government should come clear on all its financial scandals before even talking about reducing subsidies

Unless the Federal Government is ready to explain to the people of all its financial scandals in the past, and fight all the way to reduce corruption and leakages in the federal budgets, else it has no moral authority to reduce subsidies.
I found that media had in the past two weeks focused on the intention of the Federal Government to reduce subsidies, coupled with statement that the debt of the Federal Government has increased to over RM300 billion, the Federal Government will go bankrupt in nine years and the oil price in Malaysia is even lower than Somali. Economic experts also commented that high subsidies are causing distortion to market economy, causing negative impact to our economy.
I feel that all these are meaningless talks if we choose to ignore the leakages in the Federal Government’s spending since decades ago.
I believe majority of the citizens will definitely agree to reduce subsidies for the sake of the nation. But at the same time, citizens are also demanding that the Federal Government should adopt the same principle when dealing with subsidies and people’s wishes. If Malaysia being a nation blessed with so many natural resources, what is the need of reducing subsidies? When have all these resources gone to?
Prime Minister Najib had made an infamous “I help you, you help me” statement in Sibu. He said in Sibu that he wanted to have a “deal” with the people of Sibu. Now, all Malaysians should request a “deal” with the PM too.
We can help the Federal Government if the Federal Government can help us, that is a reduction in subsidies is possible but the Federal Government must explain all the previous financial scandals amounted to not only millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, but also billions and tens of billions of ringgit, ranging from the 1980s Maminco scandal, Bank Bumiputera scandal, Bank Negara’s forex scandal in the early 90s, Maika Holding scandals, financial crisis in 1997, bailout of various GLCs like MAS, Proton etc as well as the most recent RM12.5 billion PKFZ scandal. We can see the Federal Government’s hands in these scandals. How much had we spent to bail them out?
Moreover, is the Federal Government prepared to reveal in full the account of Petronas to the people? Major GLCs’ revenues are improving year by year. Pre-tax profits of PLUS, TNB and Petronas are RM1.62 billion, RM1.54 billion and RM1.23 billion in FY2009 and yet the government is claiming that it is going to bankrupt in nine years and that the people will have to pay more for their toll, electricity tariff and petrol. What are the reasons? Where are leakages?
Is the Federal Government willing to implement full and complete open tender system? Is the Federal Government prepared to answer why the Ministry of Defense (Mindef) spent RM8 billion to purchase 257 armoured personnel carriers, which cost RM27 million more than market price?
Is there any reason to explain why the escalation of construction cost of Shah Alam Hospital to RM48 million? Even for the purchase of shoes, furniture, instant coffee powder, chili sauce etc, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) under Najib is directing all Federal Government agencies to only procure from selected suppliers. What is the reason for doing so? And why is the registered address of one of the suppliers is located at Wisma UMNO Pahang? Can there be any guarantee from the Federal Government that roof-collapsing incident like in the Kuala Terengganu Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium will forever be a history of the past?
The Federal Government must explain to the people before it can take away subsidies from the people and I am here to ask: Dear Mr Prime Minister, the people can help you, but are you going to help the people? Can we strike a deal?

坦白解释过去种种丑闻,要不然不谈降低补贴

除非联邦政府能够坦白向人民解释过去数十年所发生的种种丑闻,并且致力降低干捞事件,要不然联邦政府又有什么道德制高点要求降低补贴?
过去数周,国内媒体一直报道联邦政府欲降低各项补贴,并且把讨论焦点一直围绕在3000多亿令吉国债、9年之内会破产以及大马油价比索马里还要低等等。甚至也有经济学家告诉国人过高的补贴对马来西亚的经济造成负面影响。
我觉得如果这些言论如果没有谈到过去数十年联邦政府挥霍无度的经济政策,那么这些呼吁降低补贴的言论是毫无意义的。
我相信全体国人肯定为了国家前途着想而愿意减少补贴,可是国人也希望政府也能够以同样的态度来面对国人。既然马来西亚拥有这么多天然资源,为何联邦政府必须减少补贴?这些丰富的资源到底落入谁的口袋之中?
首相纳吉在诗巫补选的座右铭是“你帮我,我帮你”。现在人民也应该针对减少补贴一事向首相先生说:“你要人民帮你,那么你也要帮人民一件事”。
在还没有减少任何补贴之前,联邦政府必须坦白交代我国的丰富资源到底流失到哪里?
从80年代的马明阁事件、土著金融、合作社风波、国家银行外汇大豪赌、麦卡控股丑闻、97年金融风暴、马航严重亏损到最近爆发的巴生港口自由贸易区125亿令吉丑闻,这些丑闻无一不涉及联邦政府动用庞大公款拯救朋党。政府到底从这些丑闻之中损失多少钱?
联邦政府是否愿意公布国油(Petronas)的完整账目给人民过目?政府相关公司税收年年丰收,为何政府会没有钱用?举例说在2009财政年,南北大道、国家能源以及国家石油分别取得16.2亿令吉、15.4亿令吉和12.3亿令吉的税前盈利。这些企业年年唱丰收,为何人民却还要付出更高费用?
联邦政府是否愿意落实完整的公开招标?联邦政府是否能够解释为何国防部必须花费80亿,也就是比市价贵出2720万,购买257辆装甲车?
为何卫生部以“阿里巴巴”方式承建莎亚南医院,导致成本爆涨至4亿820万令吉?为何连购买皮鞋、皮制品、家具,500克即溶咖啡、辣椒酱等等用品,纳吉领导的财政部可以通令全国联邦政府部门仅可以向数个特定商家购买?而且其中一家公司厂址坐落在彭亨州巫统大厦内?联邦政府是否可以保证体育馆屋顶倒塌、学校礼堂倒塌以及其他豆腐渣工程以后都不再发生?
联邦政府欲减少补贴,前提就是必须针对这些丑闻做交代清楚。没有交代清楚,那么联邦政府减少补贴就难于取信于民。
首相先生,人民可以帮你,但是这一次你会不会帮人民呢?
