Hudud is a savage misogynistic and archaic practice. There is nothing democratic about it and it contravenes the Malaysian (Secular) Constitution. It is abhorrent and inhuman. Move to Brunei or Iran or the Gulf Arab States if you are so enamoured of Hudud. It does not belong in Kelantan or Malaysia………..ever.

Fortify Rights and Harvard Law School of International Human Rights have released a report on the violent crackdown at Letpadan of the peaceful student protest march on March 10.
It’ll only fortify the military dominated regime and protect their rights of repression and exploitation of all the myriad peoples of Burma if the USDP succeeds in stealing votes and rejecting the rest in order to dominate the new parliament after November 8. Business as usual now with a little help from their new best friends.
Peter: I know what I am saying. I am married to a native Taiwanese of Ami tribe and have been calling Taiwan home for almost 20 years. What I said about LTH every one in Taiwan knows. What you read about him on Wikipedia might not be accurate, but you can find his Japanese name in there. My wife’s family is very active in the party founded by him. It is widely believe in Taiwan that LTH was Japanese adopted into a Hakka family. He was not an anti-communist nationalist. In fact, he was a communist when he was young. He alway goes around calling Japan his motherland. He’s done that as recent as 2 months ago while visiting Japan, infuriated a lot of people in Taiwan.
You get 50 %. You are correct about LKY. You are not correct about LTH. He saw himself as an anti-Communist Chinese Nationalist. He was no Japanese collaborator and everyone born in Japanese-occupied Formosa was Japanese by law. The Japanese treated such token Japanese in Formosa and Korea like crud. Your citation please that Lee’s brother is enshrined in Yasukuni ? Original citation in Japanese or Mandarin will do.
neptunian – Yes, ha ha ha indeed and it appears that you may be counted as one for you hide behind ‘neptunian’. The IS blokes cover their faces and so do you.
Give it a thought!!!!!
Reich also believed in electrical shock treatment, rarely used today, for obvious reasons. It is usually reserved for micro-brain stimulation during neurosurgery.
It is supposedly bigotry, racist (never mind Islam is not a race) and Islamophobic to ever point out problems with Islam.
So does this mean this article is all those things?
“I’d hate to ask an Acehnese police officer what they think about teenage female friendships in Australia.”
Best thing to do given current trends, Acehnese and Australians better stay as far apart from each other as much as possible.
The defination of collaborator is: A person who cooperates with an enemy. What do you call a person whose purpose is to collect information and pretend to cooperate with the enemy? How could LTH be a collaborator when he always sees himself a Japanese, calling Japan his motherland? He is very proud that his brother is enshrined in the Yasukuni shrine. As to LKY, so he worked for Hodobu. I bet many anti-Japanese spies would love to work there, so as many decent people when job was hard to find during war time. The important question I asked above: Has there been any evidence to suggest LKY colluded with the Japanese to the detriment of fellow Singaporean?
As Amnesty has now issued a report, late inaccurate and incompetent as always, here’s an update on what I posted for NM at the time, but nobody in the msm wanted to investigate.
The boat turned back to West Timor from Ashmore departed ex Sinjai Sulsel. The syndicate boss is Aziz Tara aka Haji Yakub who lives in Takalar. He’s on old player. Ambo and Hassan were working for him. The skipper was Sarimin, a relative of the smugglers, who has taken boats for the other syndicate boss in Makassar previously.
Sources claim the skipper had also been given a fibreglass turbo boat by OSB to return with, which was ‘confiscated’ by a delighted POLAIR. For readers who didn’t notice earlier, the boat used for the turnback was the HARUM, which can also be found in a photo of ex Viet boats in Darwin purchased for turnbacks.
Just don’t expect the smugglers to be arrested . Or the msm to expose the smugglers. Or Amnesty to ever get anything right. Regards.
btw Amnesty accepts POLRI’s assertion that the crew of the previous turnback in May had been paid $32 grand. Whereas local media quoted crew saying they couldn’t produce that amount to prove it because they’d already spend half of it while in POLRI custody. Must be expensive in the Ba’a cells. Supermie ain’t cheap. POLRI laid out some Greenbacks for show, told selected media it was 30 Grand, and the dumb Aussie hacks faithfully reported what POLRI wanted.
Khemthong has provided a well-justified comment on the junta’s efforts to control Internet.
Clearly, government control of radio and television and military intimidation of print media are no longer sufficient to stop the flow of adverse information and opinion from reaching Thai people. In future, it may no longer be necessary for protesters to risk lives in front of army guns. They will combat military regime online and through social media. So, the next battle for democracy will be an electronic cyber war and the first shots have already been fired.
This is interesting thread brings out the ambiguities of the struggle between imperialism and emerging nationalism. The nationalists played the empires off against one another, causing apologists for one or other of the defunct empires to label them as “collaborators”. Even now, the nationalist leaders’ main foreign policy job is playing off the Chinese empire with those of Japan and the US. The last two are becoming more imperialistic as their economies decline. Maybe the same is happening to the Chinese, as civilian leaders cave in to the stupid admirals’ imperialist adventure in the South China Sea.
Gender discrimination in Burma is partly based on cultural and religious traditions. I’m not sure whether it is still true, but 50 years ago women in Burma are not allowed to climb up pagodas above a certain level (although it’s ok for men). Burmese men are also not supposed to go under any clothesline where women hang their clothes (especially their htamein) because they are afraid to lose their manly macho-powers! I could go on.
Gender equality, as understood by liberal progressive academics at Universities like the ANU, has a long way to go in traditional Burmese society.
Whether “God” will punish someone is a great idea but I think punishing people who break the law here and now (within a framework of human rights) is more effective.

‘Lesbianism’ and detention in Aceh
Hudud is a savage misogynistic and archaic practice. There is nothing democratic about it and it contravenes the Malaysian (Secular) Constitution. It is abhorrent and inhuman. Move to Brunei or Iran or the Gulf Arab States if you are so enamoured of Hudud. It does not belong in Kelantan or Malaysia………..ever.
‘Lesbianism’ and detention in Aceh
If you are referring to the Kelantan State government’s ambition of introducing hardline Islamic hudud law, bear in mind a local Kelantan survey revealed nearly 92% of respondents support hudud laws. That would be quite a democratic mandate.
