The durian tree was standing tall and true for many decades. The yearly yield of sweet durians and the aroma was second-to-none. The day they add fertiliser laced with the 'Tan Sri' brand, the durian tree stop dead in its track. No more harvest. The swallow does not fly in summer anymore because winter has set in 365 days a year.

I hate National Service. In my sense, it has no purpose. It's purpose is just to serve certain people. That uniform alone, is a good business for certain people in Kementerian Pertahanan.

Why don't parents just boycott National Service? If UMNO can boycott Terengganu MB's appointment, why can't you?

The time to take advantage of the circumstances is now.

Don't send your kids to NS on the grounds that these camps are being run by incompetent UMNOputeras, with the sole aim of making money for cronies by virtue of uniforms, catering, equipment & supplies, as well as location.

Let Najib try to jail your kids if he dares. It will simply ensure his ejection at the next GE.

The appointment to all sorts of highly paid Government Quangos! Then, a Rosemajib collaborator. Then, National Service for the few, for those without connections.

Then, money flowed. Then, it dried up. Then, we need to teach our children to bear arms and shoot the enemy. Who? Yes, the terrorist pangolins, squirrels and sparrows. Then, WOW, did the money flow again.

Then, children die and get raped and sexually harrassed in training camps. Answer? Threaten ISA Mohamad arrests.

I was back in Penang in January this year. In the hills of Genting and Telok Kumbar, a brand new campus was operating. I asked my brother what development was going on. He told me that the previous MP (he got voted out last GE, hehehehehhehe) bought the land from some Chinese owners and started a NS camp with the blessings of Najib. Each teenager was billed some RM7,000 by the camp and God knows what split was between the operators and kickback to Najib. Looks like another Malaysia Boleh project and I wish the new CM LGE will audit such projects in Penang soon. And also all similar projects now going on in other states should be subject to audit asap!!

NS program conceived by Najib and goons are pathetic at best. It is runned by incompetent staff and has questionable values. Most of the NS 'trainers' would not know the difference between 'exercise' and 'excise'. They do not have qualify staff to design program, from nutrition to skill oriented. Our growing kids are at risk the moment they step into camp. All the 'integration' bullshit is just a front. Our children can learn real integration at school...immediately after they change the current Education Minister and the entire school program....

Mr. Lee Lam Thye,

If I recall correctly, amongst the several stated aims of the National Service, there were two paramount objectives viz.
1) To foster UNITY amongst the various races
2) To nurture a sense of national pride

Personally I find it the whole thing to be a sick joke. The National Service was some idiotic politician's suggestion which in fact is a sick joke played on the rakyat.

Now consider these:
a) UMNO's Continuous reminders thrown at the non-bumi rakyat that they are pendatangs
b) Implied classes of citizenry according to race for over 40 years of the NEP
c) Raising the spectre of the race riots of May 13, 1969 during every General Election including the recently concluded GE on 8th March 2008
d) Constant reminders to the bumi-Malay community they are under threat from ono-bumis (what threat the non-bumis pose is anybody's guess)
e) An irresponsible Minister of Education who waves the Keris, a symbol of aggression, and to make matters worse, he drew it out of the scabbard. (Did you know that Malay tradition has it, if a keris is drawn from the scabbard and words of aggression are uttered, the keris must then be used? In other words, it has to draw blood. I think the Minister despite being a Malay does not know his culture.)

I can go on listing a lot of reasons, almost inexhaustive number of reasons, why 40% and more, of the citizenry do not feel proud of the country nor do the races feel any affinity with each other.

National Service to prepare the next generation? For what?

It is sad that even as of now, only a small section of the citizens is politically enlightened to understand that the UMNO and its abused wives of MCA/MIC/Gerakan and its consorts such as SUPP etc; has successfully kept the rakyat under its rule through the simple but effective method of divide and rule along racial lines.

And know what? The people here in www.Malaysia -today.net are all aware of it. But we are, at the moment, few in number. We will grow in strength over the coming days and years. We will do our best to disseminate the correct information to educate the young and the old.

I believe that if we are determined, disciplined and principled, we will help the rakyat to realize that we have been living under a system which UMNO simply inherited from the British colonial masters and, enhanced it further just for their own selfish purpose. The legacy of divisive racial and religious sentiments are so deeply ingrained that even now it affects the Barisan Rakyat whose stated claim was to consign it to the rubbish bin of history.

Now we have an opportunity to assist the rest to confront the issues affecting the country, from different perspectives and learn to separate the chaff from the grain i.e. to identify the truth from spin and bullshit.

I would be branded most naive, if I thought that Barisan Rakyat is the cure all for our country's problems. Far from it. There are little devils within the BR too. Given the right time, they will emerge thinking that we the rakyat have been duped again. They can try, but I doubt if its that easy next time around.

So it would appear that honourable people such as RPK, the Blogger community and fellow readers here would have to be vigilant and act as sentinels against any devilish attempts by Barisan Nasional, Barisan Rakyat and the unprincipled supporters such as the likes of yourself Mr. Lee; to try and usurp the power of Rakyat.

I hope someone here who is aquainted with you would read this and print it for you to peruse. I doubt that you would even have time to read it online, as I understand that people such as yourself who live in the stratosphere seldom return to earth to touch base with us the ordinary folks.

Rakyat Malaysia Berjaya!

I would suggest our Najis do an in depth studies before he implement and enforced the NS. Just a look at our neighbour Singapore, and you will understand how their training programs are written. Their NS required 2 years to learn everything including shooting compared to ours - all done within a couple of months haphazardly.

My daughter came back to tell me they were not told how to protect themselves from injury during the training and if not for the agile mind she had, she would have been hurt too.

Mr Lee Lam Thye & Co
How many innocent life do you want to take before consider scrapping the NS.

If there is a need foster UNITY amongst the various races & nurture a sense of national pride. These objectives should be inculcated during early part of one’s life and not after SPM.

I would suggest, this should be done under school curriculum rather than a separate NS programmed.

Stop wasting public money, time and life of innocent people.

To be realistic, doing away with the NS is rather no-no.

What's more important is that there's much to be learned for the way how M'sia does and administers it NS. The problem, though is that the morons made in charge think they are good enough, and stubborn enough not wanting to improve and be critical of things. Two words; bodoh sombong.

Our NS is more of a brainwashing exercise rather than a NS with a true spirit of shaping malaysians. In the most 'true'est sense, a proper NS will aim to eliminate racism and promote a universal 'Malaysian' among its all participants.

The NS was a money-making scheme for Najis Najib and the RAKYAT had to endure the massive inconvenience so that this Bastard can line his pockets to the full. The C4 Altantuya case is also all about money earned through arms deals. We must make sure this Celaka Babi must NEVER ever become PM of Malaysia.

Lee Lam Thye was a highly respected person when he represented DAP in Bukit Bintang for many a term. And the electorate showed their appreciation giving him resounding margins of victory everytime. Then he sold the RAKYAT out to the Govt. and joined the ranks of Gerakan and Chandar Muzzafar. Very sad that these once upon a time giants-amongst-men could have been bribed to sink so low !!! Just goes to show what slimeballs these politicians can be !!

Just shows that we must ensure Parliamentary Democracy must be practised with all checks & balances in place so we can reward politicians with integrity and punish those who lose their way. The Judiciary must be revamped. The ISA and the PPPA and the OSA must be repealed. All statutes that give absolute power to the Ministers (Executie) must be repealed. In Allah/ God we trust.
