Zunar's new animated feature - Enjoy!

Political cartoonist Zunar has come out with his latest take on Malaysian politics, and this time he goes one step further with a five-minute animated political satire.

Describing the production, posted on YouTube as well as on his website www.zunarcartoonist.com as "extremely low budget", Zunar hoped it was the beginning of better produced animated political cartoons in future.
"I plan to continue for the next series, but an animation production cannot proceed without financial help," he told Harakahdaily in a statement.

Seen as a first in Malaysia's less-travelled road of political satire, Zunar said the clip, titled '1 Funny Malaysia' based on his published works, was produced to fulfill fans' demands "as well as to venture a new dimension in my career using technologies".

Although the three main characters have been renamed in the clip, the references are obvious: slain Mongolian woman Altantuya Shaariibuu, prime minister Najib Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor, all of whose caricature Zunar has been too used with drawing.

But the task of bringing Malaysian political characters alive also requires being alive financially. "I hope fans and supporters can contribute on the funding through my website zunarcartoonist.com," added Zunar

Our National Day is an Islamic event?

The theme of the National Day celebrations this year, 'Janji Ditepati' (Pledges Fulfilled) is not a political rhetoric but based on the religious demand.

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak said the theme was proof that the Barisan Nasional (BN) government was guided by the Quran and Sunnah in discharging its responsibilities to the people as a whole.

"The theme is based on religious principles. We (BN) struggle to fulfil our promises to the people.

"We will fulfil our pledges to give confidence to the people. We want to prove that our country is a model of an Islamic nation," he said at a breaking of fast with the people in Kampung Padang Nenas, here on Thursday.

Also present were Menteri Besar Ahmad Said and about 10,000 people.

Najib said that in Islam if any pledge was not fulfilled, it could be construed as being hypocritical.

"So as a government, we will fulfil the pledges. We are prepared to be rejected by the people if our pledges are not fulfilled," he said.

As such, he said, there was no need for anyone to be afraid about the theme of the National Day.

"Among the people, we too must meet the promises made. Even in business, we want to deal with people who fulfil their pledges and in terms of the government, we also want a government that fulfils its pledges," he said.

He said the people should be grateful for the blessing that they were living in a prosperous nation like Malaysia.

"During the fasting month, we can carry out our religious obligations properly unlike in some other countries.

"The BN has succeeded in looking after the welfare of the people through various programmes and hope that the people will continue to give their support to the BN," he said.

Najib later gave away Ramadan contributions to orphans, the handicapped, senior citizens and single mothers.

Later, he performed the Maghrib prayer at Masjid Kampung Padang Nenas and the terawih prayer at Masjid Wakaf Tembesu before returning to the federal capital.

Back in the 60s when I was in the secondary school and a member of the school's Boy Scout movement, I had the opportunity to participate in march pasts at the Merdeka Stadium.  The feeling that I experienced was most indescribable especially when orders were given for us to march out from the tunnels into the open arena of the stadium.  The sound, the sight was something to behold.  All this time, I took it as an event celebrated by all Malaysians from all walks of life.  But now, I am told it is an Islamic event.  I am in cognitive dissonance to say the least.  So since this is the case, I will not be participating even as a spectator as I am a Christian and with the recent rap by Ridhuan Tee about Christians, I would feel most unwanted and out of place.  The second issue is about looking after the welfare of the people (see paragraph marked in red).  What a liar and the following video will prove it!

We have to talk about Najib (10 reasons for polls delay)

Yes, it is that time.

Since Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak never tells what bothers him, we have to take matters into our own hands. We have to talk about Najib, clearly he is befuddled by a fairly complex electorate undecided on him as a brand and then as prime minister.

So many have asked, what is holding back Najib, so I listed some reasons what I believe are keeping him from dissolving Parliament and calling Malaysians to pass judgment on 57 years of Barisan
Nasional (BN) rule — since the Alliance (BN’s precursor) win in 1955.

1. Anwar Ibrahim

Whichever way he looks at it, the spectre of Anwar looms large, casting a shadow over his whole administration. Najib used to take instructions from Anwar during his Umno Youth days, through to him competing for a vice-president post only when the ex-finance minister vacated the spot to challenge for the deputy presidency in 1993.

Najib wants to go into an election preferably when Anwar is tottering not when he is in the midst of pulling the strings with various developments, primarily in Borneo.

Najib wouldn’t be faulted to assume that he is prime minister today because Anwar was sacked, which led to a chain of events resulting in his rise to the top.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi became prime minister because Dr Mahathir Mohamad picked him to replace Anwar. Abdullah lost the top post because Anwar’s united opposition coalition made unprecedented gains in 2008.

2. The Chinese have left the building

The worst thing for the Najib camp has not actually been losing a substantial number of ethnic Chinese votes since 2008, but the continued drone from all Barisan Nasional leaders conceding over and over that the Chinese vote have deserted them.

They have institutionalised the position.

The analysis of the BN punters has been that as long as the Indian vote is split enough, then the Malay swing compounded by gerrymandering will give enough seats in the peninsula to convince all the Borneo component party leaders to remain with BN.

Because of the fractious relationship between Umno and the MCA — let’s use each other but with all the suspicion possible — the former’s operatives have little restraint in repeating the Chinese have bolted.

This is adding to the discussion that the MCA and Gerakan are relying on ethnic Malay votes to win seats.

Najib therefore is haunted by the loss of the Chinese votes, made worse by lieutenants widely playing down the Chinese vote.

3. The Internet, humbug....

Post-GE2008, all the “brains” at PWTC were annoyed that the online battle had only one player, the Pakatan Rakyat groups.

BN lost the Internet space battle by not being in it, so they decided to change focus.

While there are umpteen number of BN blogs, websites, social media activities and many more being planned, the Internet has been unwieldy.

Despite BN having money and personnel — cyber-troopers — they tragically do not have appeal.
BN’s social media rides on the resource pumped in, very little is generated in the way of community involvement.

If there is a large gathering for Najib for his Facebook friends, it is because the prime minister’s office worked the invites and paid for the luncheon.

If people had to pay to have lunch with Najib then the turnout would be far more different.

His people don’t get it, they are just adamant that money will fix it. Therefore their results are limited and their reach appalling considering the money spent.

Consider the uproar over the National Day song “Janji Ditepati”. As of 3am today, 371,505 people viewed the song on YouTube; an encouraging number of views. Unfortunately for the songwriters, 35,720 or almost 10 per cent dislike the song. And a paltry 608 or 0.16 per cent liked it — there is only that many times your cyber-dudes can “Like” the same item.

Yes, the Internet is not fun for BN.

4. Borneo subterfuge

Every visit by Pakatan Rakyat leaders to Sabah or Sarawak causes heartburn for Umno leaders.
The talk is swirling that even Sarawak is up for discussion.

The two MPs — Lajim Ukin and Wilfred Bumburing — departing from the BN stable in Sabah has upped the ante and initiated a new round of speculations.

Unless Najib has some way of grasping a semblance of control over Borneo in the coming weeks, the election date will keep sliding away.

5. BR1M 2 — because two is more than one

The verdict on BR1M — the campaign to put RM500 once-off in the pocket of each poor household last March 2012 — is unimpressive. Many, many people were happy to receive the monies and they truly were, but the recipients were largely glad but did not feel indebted to the government.

The dynamics of what is expected from a gift has shifted dramatically in the last decade.

However, since the cornerstone of BN politics is patronage, they cannot help but spend to win voters. Which is why the “promise” of another BR1M 2 is being dangled over the population.

They’ve announced BR1M 2 in roundabout ways, and they know that it would take very little to shake up their support base. A BR1M 2 is imminent before the general election.

6. Muhyiddin Yassin

Muhyiddin couching himself as an unapologetic Malay champion allows him to be broadly popular inside Umno, even if that sentiment is not shared by other component party leaders.

But as any BN man would swear, the Umno president is prime minister. That’s non-negotiable, so the means to become Umno president by being populist has always worked.

The posturing of Muhyiddin must keep Najib worried.

A poor general election result will immediately propel Muhyiddin to top leadership.

7. Budget 2013

The window between National Day and the Budget announcement on September 28 is too short, but more pertinent the chance to shape how government spending in 2013 may be too tempting for Najib.
Winning now would give Najib more mandate to shape his spending however he feels, but the safety first nature in him might force him to consider spending more money in the first quarter from a new budget which would lead to an easy electoral victory.

8. Symbolic gaffes

The latest one would be the National Day logo and song. Gone are the days where the rakyat accepted the crudest and weirdest logos irrespective.

The ability of Malaysians to milk the situation has the public image consultants in knots, because the politicians they defend are equally indifferent on backing down gracefully.

The symbols are intended as launching pads to capture the imagination of the rakyat. But when the symbols themselves become contentious, then any traction is lost.

9. Waiting is not losing

Our Pekan MP has bided his time all the time. He says so as much in his comic books that all these stepping stones were planned out without rocking the boat.

Najib realises he is prime minister until there is a general election, therefore there are perks in waiting.

Therefore a no contest for now is not a step backwards, however it is not a step leading to loss.
He would rather wait, it appears

10. Implode please, Pakatan

The history of any coalition to oust the Barisan Nasional has been littered with break-ups.
The issues are usually forced upon the DAP and PAS. Hudud has always been a deal breaker, and in the instance of the DAP, there are constant fears put out of Malay states falling under Chinese rule. Or perhaps frustration that PAS’s slow rejection of Umno’s overtures of Malay unity might annoy others.

The spats always get out of hand as the mainstream media plays out the most minute and inane differences.

Najib is probably hoping for an early Christmas, that something major happens and then he gets a free pass at the next polls.

How likely is Najib’s wish? Perhaps not, since this is the longest time the DAP and PAS have worked together with a major deterioration of ties.

What do Malaysians do then now? We wait. By every day of waiting to call polls, Najib risks losing as much gaining ground.

Still, Najib can’t make up his mind.

Or we can spend the time considering this: will voting in BN back to power lead to another lengthy period of political uncertainty?

I’m partisan, so you can ignore me and answer as you wish. But I’m pretty sure you’d come to a deliberate decision far sooner than Najib.

He’s stuck.

Moments of humanity. There is hope for us yet.

A couple of bars copied and you have plagiarised

Rais Yatim, in his usual arrogant manner, is brushing off all criticisms about the theme song for this year's Merdeka Day celebration and he even dared those concerned to sue him for plagiarism.  If only he could eat humble pie and have a re-work on the national day theme without antagonising our neightbour. It is also unbecoming of Rais Yatim to dismiss his critics when it involves the most important day of the nation, and unimaginable as it may sound, the rakyat will be singing a gospel tune.  Certainly Indonesia will not know whether to laugh or be angry with us.

Well, let's put it simply this way.  Rais is no musician and more so, his depth of knowledge on copyright issues relating to music is also found wanting.  Below is a write-up about the case of Bright Tunes Music vs Harrisongs Music in which ex-Beatle George Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' was deemed to be a plagarised version of The Chiffons' 'He's So Fine'.

Following the release of the Harrison version of "My Sweet Lord", musical similarities between it and Ronnie Mack's "He's So Fine" were remarked on immediately by album reviewers in the widely circulated publications NME and Rolling Stone; the latter's Ben Gerson even referred to it as an "obvious re-write of the Chiffons' 'He's So Fine'". By March, proceedings were under way for what became a prolonged copyright infringement suit, known as Bright Tunes Music v. Harrisongs Music, lasting over ten years. In September 1976, a US district court decision found that Harrison had "subconsciously" copied the earlier tune.

Both of the songs have a three-syllable title refrain ("My sweet Lord", "He's so fine") followed by a 5-3-2 descent of the major scale in the tonic key (E major for "My Sweet Lord" and G major for "He's So Fine"). Respective tempos are similar: 121 and 145 beats per minute. In the respective B sections ("I really want to see you" and "I dunno how I'm gonna do it"), there is a similar ascent through 5-6-8, but The Chiffons distinctively retain the G tonic for four bars and, on the repeat of the motif, uniquely go to an A-note 9th embellishment over the first syllable of "gonna". Harrison, on the other hand, introduces the more complex harmony of a relative minor (C#m), as well as the oft-repeated, fundamental and distinctly original slide guitar motif.

In 1978, before the court decided on damages in the case, Harrison's former manager Allen Klein, who had represented him earlier in the proceedings, purchased the copyright to "He's So Fine" from Bright Tunes. On 19 February 1981, the court decided the damages amounted to $1,599,987, but that due to Klein's duplicity in the case, Harrison would only have to pay Klein $587,000 for the rights to "He's So Fine" − the amount Klein had paid Bright Tunes for the song.

Harrison stated in his autobiography that he was inspired to write "My Sweet Lord" after hearing The Edwin Hawkins Singers' version of "Oh Happy Day", an eighteenth-century English hymn.

THE TWO SONGS IN DISPUTE

Think you are having a bad day?

Case no: 1

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire. The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with scuba tanks on his back, flippers, and face mask. 

A post-mortem test revealed that the man died not from burns, but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive identification. Investigators then set about to determine how a fully clothed diver ended up in the middle of a forest fire.

It was revealed that on the day of the fire, the man went diving off the coast, some 20 miles from the forest. The fire fighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as possible, had called in a fleet of helicopters with very large dip buckets. Water was dipped from the ocean and emptied at the site of the forest fire.

You guessed it. One minute our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next, he was doing the breast stroke in a fire dip bucket 300 feet in the air.

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. but keep reading....
 
Still think you're having a bad day?
 
Case no: 2
A man was working on his motorcycle on the patio, his wife nearby in the kitchen. While racing the engine, the motorcycle accidentally slipped into gear. The man, still holding onto the handlebars, was dragged along as it burst through the glass patio doors. 

His wife, hearing the crash, ran in the room to find her husband cut and bleeding, the motorcycle, and the shattered patio door. She called for an ambulance and, because the house sat on a fairly large hill, went down the several flights of stairs to meet the paramedics and escort them to her husband.

While the attendants were loading her husband, the wife managed to right the motorcycle and push it outside. She also quickly blotted up the spilled petrol with some paper towels and tossed them into the toilet.

After being treated and released, the man returned home, looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He went into the bathroom and consoled himself with a cigarette while attending to his business. About to stand, he flipped the butt between his legs.

The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. Finding him lying on the bathroom floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks, legs and groin, she once again phoned for an ambulance. The same paramedic crew was dispatched.

As the paramedics carried the man down the stairs to the ambulance they asked the wife how he had come to burn himself. She told them. They started laughing so hard, one slipped, the stretcher dumping the husband out. He fell down the remaining stairs, breaking his arm.

Still having a bad day ? Just remember, it could be worse....
 
Case no: 3
The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, a killer whale ate them both. 

Still think you are having a bad day?
 
Case no: 4
A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman. 

STILL think you're having a bad day?
 
Case no: 5
Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn , Germany . Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two hapless protesters were trampled to death. 

What?! STILL having a bad day??

Now you must have heard this one before, but no harm reading the joke again since it involves our education system.

It is most alarming that many Malaysian schools teach our children the
wrong things. I mean; can the children really apply what they are
taught in school later in life?

For example, can you imagine a mathematics question in a recent
examination as follows? "If an egg costs fifty sen, and if you buy 1/5
of the egg, how much would you have to pay?  "Who in Heaven's name will
want to buy 1/5 of an egg?  Yet, this is how they structure the
questions in Malaysian schools.

Why not pose questions that would be more useful later in life when
one goes out into the real world?

To help Malaysia 's Ministry of Education to come up with better
quality exam questions, we are offering our free suggestions as
follows:-

QUESTION 1.
If your father drives from Kuala Lumpur to Penang along the PLUS
Highway and there are four speed traps along the way and if each speed
trap could cost him RM300.00 in fines, how much in fines would he have
paid by the time he reaches Penang ?

ANSWER (Multiple choices):
1. He would not suffer any fines as oncoming cars would flash their
headlights and he would slow down before getting to the speed trap.
2. He would pay RM80.00 as RM20.00 bribe at each speed trap. During
Raya time, make that Rm160.
3. If his father is an UMNO minister, then he pays nothing.

QUESTION 2.
If a Bumi company is awarded a RM150 million government contract, and
they make a 20% profit, how much profit would be at the end of the
contract period?

ANSWER (Multiple choices):
1. The Chinese owners will have 0% profit as they would have to pay
the Minister 10% and his bumi director 10%.
2. They would make a 300% profit due to cost overrun, which is the
first progress payment they receive, after which they will abandon the
project and let the government call for re-tender, and they will then
re-tender again under a different bumi company name and make another
300% profit.
3. The company will not make any profit at all as all the bumi
directors will go on luxury holidays traveling first class with whole
family, buy one Mercedes Benz S class and one BMW 525 each, etc, etc
and show a loss to avoid paying corporate tax.

QUESTION 3.
If the national petroleum company, Petronas, makes 5 billion Ringgit
per year, how much should Petronas have in the bank after 25 years?

ANSWER (Multiple Choices):
1. Nobody is supposed to know as Petronas need not show its accounts
to anyone except the PM and this information comes under the Official
Secrets Act.
2. Petronas will be bankrupt as all the money will be spent bailing
out companies and cronies of the PM and other Ministers's children.
3. Who cares?............. We never see any of it anyway.
