Kicking off the fund with a RM20,000 contribution, division head Datuk Syed Ali Al Habshee said the Tabung Azan would also be used to assist mosques and suraus that needed money to buy loudspeakers for the purpose of the azan (call to prayer).

On Thursday, Kok filed a RM30mil suit against Utusan Melayu Sdn Bhd and the paper’s columnist Zaini Hassan over an article that allegedly defamed her.

Kok was said to have petitioned a mosque in Puchong to reduce the volume for azan, something which she had strongly denied. The mosque had also stated she was not involved.

On another matter, Syed Ali said there was more proof for abolishing the quota system for nominating leaders after some drama erupted at the division’s Wanita delegates meeting on Saturday night.

“One of the delegates wanted to contest the post of vice-chief which requires 10% of nominations. Since our division has 31 branches, that would mean 3.1 nominations.”

Syed Ali said the Umno headquarters then clarified that 3.1 nominations actually meant four nominations.

“All hell broke loose because the delegate already had three nominations. I just told them to go ahead and let her contest. It is a ridiculous ruling,” he said.

Outside the meeting hall on Sunday, Sri Indah branch chief Nordin Pilus protested the division’s action to suspend his branch for apparently not having enough quorum when the branch met.

“We have all the documents proving that we followed all the rules so the question of any wrongdoing on our part does not arise. This is just a ploy to reduce the support for our candidate contesting for the division’s deputy chief post,” he said.

Sdr.Anwar, you can be rest assured that our Speaker would play his wayang kulit - favouring the BN. You just watch, the Speaker won't allow even
questions of public interest. If Najib does not know how to answer your question and beocomes stunned, then he would use the ISA tool on you .
This has been the BN tactic. The moment they cannot face facts, they use the ISA.Every Malaysian knows this tactic. Hope by now they would have learned the lesson as the Public are getting fed up with the BN by stifling the Rakyat with the ISA. Give a good debate.Best wishes to you. The Rakyat would be watching the session.

These politicians are the direct result of TDM's political idealogies about Malay supremacy. As long as these TDM clones are still in politics, Malaysia will continue to be mired in racial politics. Time and again these policies have robbed our nation of competitive progress and maturity.

Datuk Zaid rightly mentioned that the state of our nation is all becos of TDM who cleverly built his political fortress by playing racial games.

The consequences are now begining to show in the wake of his 'screwed-up' policies. Now genuine future politicians have no choice but to deal with these rooted idealogies which will continue to stunt our nation's progress.

UMNO Cheras is loud because they will never be able to contest in a general elections since Cheras is given to MCA. The only way they could get attention is to harp on topics that they "think" that they will get free publicity no matter how stupid (always proven whenever they speak) the topic or how little they know about the topic (shown in this case that even the mosque support Theresa, UMNO Cheras still think Theresa is the culprit).

Hahahaha! Funds to save Utusan! Why not setup a fund to bail out all of the criminals in the lockup that you can use as thugs in your campaign? I'm sure the police will more than happy and will give you a "good deal & preferential

and saving Utusan's arse!

I have a better suggestion for UMNO Cheras. Why not ask the botak to sign the Detention Order for the animals in the zoo too. Since they are protected and lived in cages anyway. The only difference is now they get to be in Kemunting! Hahaha! ISA the whole zoo systems in Malaysia!

1. They admit Utusan is their political tool;
2. They believe they will lose the case thus admitting defaming Theresa;
3. It shows how lucrative just by being a Division Head, can contribute RM20k just like that;
4. They will make use of any opening to gain political mileage.

Cheras Umno is confused. They have been intentionally confused for a very long time. Buying speakers for Mosques is a noble deed completely opposed to their insidious efforts to propagate and perpetuate a fabricated lie against Teresa Kok.
Cheras Umno is desperate. Are they coming or going? Reasonable and fair minded Muslims will support the buying of speakers for the azan but never the perpetuation of untruths. Teresa has been absolved with her release from ISA detention. That confirms Utusan has been lying all along.

Further, their obvious intention of combining the twin objectives for the R$30million fund demonstrates a dangerous attempt to fan religious anger by sullying and tarnishing the buying of speakers for the azan with Utusan’s despicable deeds. And it is not as if Utusan has not the means to pay if they are found by the courts to have intentionally published lies.

Why this umno-dugong is so concerned about outloud speaker?? Those speakers are too cheap mehhhh... With Millions of budget allocated to each UMNO Chief Division from Federal Fund (aka Rakyat Taxpayer's mostly from non-muslim tax payers), they can simply supply to the whole world...

UMNO is playing its "islamic skin" portraying as if it cares about Islam. It is the final defense after Malay Supremacy ideas is knocked out!!

Azans works effectively only during Friday prayer when the mosques are full. Rest of the Day, most of mosques or surau are EMPTY!!! Very likely only 2 people are there. Tok Iman (Prayer Leader) and Tok Siak ( Assistant) who are PAID RM300 to perform the duty.

UMNO should care more about Prayers attendees than the speaker. No matter how loud, or how big the speakers are, it comes to basic conscious to perform congrational prayers at surau or mosque.

These are the type of people that Syed Botak should lock away under the ISA. He is alleged to have claimed... "Teresa has challenged the honour of Malays by suing Utusan Malaysia as it is a newspaper owned by the Malays. Challenging the Malays is similar to challenging UMNO". What perverted logic!! Consider:

1)This pseudo Malay/Arab is deliberately twisting the facts to give a racial slant to it to win votes for the upcoming UMNO elections.

2) The mosques committees has already come out in public and exonerated Teresa from all the false accusations. So if UTUSAN is innocent, let them prove it in a court of law. Why fan sentiments and make it seem racial?

3) Does being "Malay" grant you the special right to instigate all kinds of racial sentiments and you cannot be held responsible? If you dare to make such statements, then be man enough to defend them.

Don't try to intimidate the victims with your twisted logic. As Pak Lah has said, the victims also deserves their justice. Let the court decide.
