美好人生的摯愛與告別 [第二版] Loving and Leaving the Good Life

李怡讀《美好人生的摯愛與告別》

Posted on 2012/02/08

平靜地與摯愛告別　6/11/2006　李怡
【經濟】史葛．聶爾寧（Scott Nearing）在他將屆百歲生日的時候，用絕食的方式，讓自己平靜地與這個世界及自己的軀體告別。他不是因為貧困、孤獨，他身邊有一個同他相愛相守了五十多年的摯愛的妻子。他對人生沒有憤懣，相反地充滿了感激。但他很清楚，死亡終會來臨，於是寫下遺書，聲明他為了要體驗死亡，在死亡過程中保持意識，因而不用止痛藥及麻醉藥等。他不希望醫生在場，因為「他們既不懂得生命，也不懂得死亡」。

他在遺書中要「在場的人不用哀傷和遺憾，他們需要保持冷靜，表示理解和喜悅」。他「希望能體會人生過程的不同層面，死亡是一種過渡和覺醒」。「我在活著的時候充分發揮自己的力量，當我去世的時候，亦滿懷希望」。他不要殯儀館來處理他的屍體，他不希望舉行任何追悼儀式，不需要任何宗教人士來為他禱告。他要求將他的屍體火化後，請他太太海倫將骨灰撒在精神海灣那片樹林底下。他聲明是在理智完全正常、頭腦完全清醒的情況下，提出通過禁食來體驗死亡的請求的。

聶爾寧將近百歲時的尋死，經他的妻子海倫（Helen Nearing）的陳述，而讓後世人看到整個過程。海倫在其後寫的《美好人生的摯愛與告別》（Loving and Leaving the Good Life）一書中說：「禁食而死並不是一種暴力的自殺行為，它只是漸漸地消耗能量，平靜地、自覺自願地離開人世間的一種方式。無論在物質方面，還是在精神方面，都做好了去世的準備。」

這是一個真實的故事，是一個讓死亡來得平靜，並真正維護死亡的尊嚴的故事。如果讀到史葛與海倫的結合與長期共同生活的經歷，那就更讓人信服他在平靜地與摯愛告別。

美好人生的摯愛與告別 [第二版] Loving and Leaving the Good Life


內容簡介	儘管世間瞬息萬變，斯各特和海倫的愛情持續了半世紀　　海倫說：愛情生活中最珍貴的並不是性關係，　　而是雙方在每一個方面的互相體貼與心心相印！　　美國和平主義和環境生態保護者斯各特．聶爾玲，因為對現代文明的省思，二十世紀初他與夫人海倫在佛蒙特州及緬因州的森林農場，創立美好生活中心(The Good Life Centre)，過著回歸自然、崇尚簡樸、和平寧靜的生活。他倆終生力行的生活實驗，在當時創造一段生活傳奇，也成了二十一世紀的生活潮流。《美好人生的摯愛與告別》即由海倫?聶爾玲於八十八歲寫下這部自傳性質的著作，敘述她與年長二十一歲的丈夫斯各特之間，超過半世紀的「美好人生」。　　這一對靈魂伴侶，斯各特，曾是大學教授，因為說真話的率直言行被大學開除，驅逐出學術界；海倫，曾追隨知名的心靈導師克里西那穆第談了兩年的精神戀愛，在戀情結束形同陌路後，回到家鄉。一九二八年，獅子男和雙魚女相遇了，熟知占星的友人告訴他們：「這是一對很不尋常的奇妙結合，也許是神話故事中的精靈起作用的結果。」很快地，他倆從朋友變成情人，雖然個性不同卻能截長補短，共同譜寫新生活的二重唱。一九三二年，斯各特和海倫放棄紐約的繁華生活，展開了五十多年自食其力的田園生活。對於他倆來說，度過美好的人生乃是與大地和大地上生存的人和睦相處的過程，他們所追求的不是一種高消費的生活，而是高質量的生活。　　聶爾玲夫婦一直對於生死問題表示關注，尤其斯各特過了九十歲之後，更是如此，他們共同閱讀大量有關死亡的著述，相信生命與意識採取某些形式繼續存在，認為死亡只是一種過渡，不是生命的終結。一九八五年，斯各特百歲生日前開始絕食，一個半月後，他的身體機能自然停頓，猶如樹上枯葉順著風勢飄然落地般自然。整個過程由海倫從旁協助，尊重他自行決定告別生命的一場生死因緣。海倫表示，從斯各特自我選擇死亡而絕食的經驗，她學到了「死亡的尊嚴」意義。　　本書出版前後皆獲得極高的評價。精神醫學專家庫布勒．羅斯讚歎：「本書是一位了不起的女性作者所寫過最美麗的愛的故事之一。」臺灣生死學之父傅偉勳教授特別撰文推薦：「這是一本很雄辯地談到，老齡化生活與心平氣和而有控制地面對死亡的意義究竟是什麼。」作者簡介海倫．聶爾玲Helen Nearing (1904-1995) 　　是一位獨立、富有獻身精神和充滿智慧的女性。　　她出生富裕家庭，為了愛情和實踐理想，放棄前途似錦的音樂演奏生涯，心甘情願與斯各特．聶爾玲(Scott Nearing, 1883-1983)──一位因政治觀點激進，被賓州大學開除的經濟學教授，移居到鄉野，過著遠離塵世，回歸自然，與萬物共生的生活。他們倡導社會主義，同時也是素食、和平主義者。

大马著名歌手梁静茹因为在面书高调力挺在吉隆坡展开的428黄绿大集会结果惹祸，身为大马旅游大使，在旅游部长黄燕燕的压力下，她被迫10分钟内删除其面书所有关于这次大集会的帖子！

据《光华日报》昨天的报道，目前人身在台北的静茹，是于昨日中午12时在其面书专页通过手机留言，写道“我被下令删除所有关于黄色活动的帖，请告诉大家我会在10分钟内删除”，接着这个留言在5分钟后即消失，而之前所有关于梁静茹针对428大集会的留言及转帖，都宣告删除。

静茹较后在下午1时，又重新在其专页留言，内容为“正义是存在的，争取是存在的，勇敢是存在的，我也给大家深深一鞠躬。催泪弹催出的泪只会让大家更团结更坚强，那泪深深烙印在我们的心里。”

内容并没有明显谈及428，可是透过文中的催泪弹，大家肯定知道她是针对428黄绿大集会事件发表本身感受，并获得了超过1300名粉丝按赞。

在每天骂丹州回教党极端的时候，是不是应该看看一下自己所谓的堡垒州属，是不是真的很开明？如果你说回教党是保守，我想回教党的确是《真保守》，如果马华说巫统是很开明的，我也会说的确问题是《假开明》。当今大马的新闻标题《柔州娱乐业者被令先知日休业马华行政议员声称未听闻禁令》马华却说不知道？真的是笑死人了，说到这个宗教日所有娱乐场所必须停止营业24个小时，柔佛早在若干年前就已经实行的“不公平政策”，这个连阿嫂都知道的公开事件，年年如此，如果国阵继续政治可能会世世代代都会如此。占有相当大华人比例的柔佛，真的很开明吗？看看今天这个停业24小时的勒令就一目了然，再看看被令停工的居銮普照寺吧，就算20年后的今天可以复工，但是你看看那几条复工条件，佛都有火啊，连佛都不给人拜的佛寺世上何寻？最后马华能做的就是叫居銮华社别“节外生枝”。

sesiapa yang menentang kuasa asing --Brittish adalah pejuang!!!

ISTILAH pejuang begitu besar maknanya, dalam Kamus Dewan

edisi yang keempat menyatakan pejuang adalah

orang yang berjuang untuk mempertahankan tanah airnya

daripada dijajah oleh kuasa asing.

Nama-nama pejuang seperti Datuk Bahaman, Mat Kilau,

Tok Janggut, Dato’ Maharaja Lela memang bukan

asing lagi dalam minda masyarakat Melayu

khususnya di Semenanjung Malaysia.

Manakala di Sabah, sebut sahaja nama Mat Salleh

, sudah pasti masyarakatnya akan berasa bangga

kerana mempunyai seorang pejuang yang hebat

dan tiada tandingannya suatu ketika dahulu.

Di Sarawak pula, kita juga mempunyai beberapa

orang pejuang yang tidak mungkin kita lupakan iaitu

Rosli Dhoby, Syarif Masahur dan Rentap. Jasa Rosli Dhoby

begitu besar kepada masyarakat Bumi Kenyalang

kerana beliau pernah membakar semangat

masyarakat untuk bangkit menentang penjajah

THE ROOT OF MALAYSIA IS PARAMESWARA(MALACCA) AND MENONG MAHAWANGSA (KEDAH), AND HINDU

Gandhi wrote in the "Harijan" that Indian education made

Indian students foreigners in their own country.

The Radhakrishnan Commission said in their Report (1950);

"one of the serious complaints against the system of education

which has prevailed in this country for over a century is that

it neglected India's past, that it did not provide the

Indian students with a knowledge of their own culture.

It had produced in some cases the feeling that we are

without roots, and what is worse, that our roots bind us

to a world very different from that which surrounds us".

THE HISTORY OF MALAYSIA, EITHER BEGAN FROM PARAMESWARA--MALACCA

OR FROM KEDAH HISTORY--I.E. MENONG MAHAWANGSA--ALL WERE BEGAN

FROM HINDU CULTURE, LANGUAGE, LIFESTYLE, CUSTOMS.

THIS IS THE TRUE, REAL FACT AND HISTORY!!!!

THE ROOT OF MALAYSIA IS PARAMESWARA(MALACCA) AND MENONG MAHAWANGSA (KEDAH), AND HINDU LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE---THIS IS ROOT OF MALAYSIA

BASTARDISATION OF BRITISH COLONIAL OFFICERS

There is no completely reliable estimate of how many people left Britain for a new life overseas during the years of empire, but most of them never returned, and, by 1900, a majority of English-speakers were living outside Europe. The British diaspora created a network of family connections stretching from a grey, damp island in the North Atlantic to dusty sheep stations in Australia, rough-and-ready mining towns in Africa and snowy wildernesses in Canada. So, while at any one time the imperial life was being lived only by a minority of the population, the colonial experience was familiar to many more.

When the British went to live in the lands they conquered, they were confronted immediately with the question of what made them distinct from the people among whom they lived. Indeed, when you read the popular literature of the period, its most offensive characteristic is the assumption of racial superiority over “brutes” and “savages”. As Cecil Rhodes put it, “We are the finest race in the world and the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race.”

As the empire matured, a peculiar illogicality seized the British: we rule more of the world than any other nation, therefore we must be superior to any other nation. In fact, of course, it was technological advance and entrepreneurial flair which gave birth to the empire. But a belief in some moral pre-eminence offered reassurance to the anxious imperialist. For the majority of empire officials – district officers and magistrates, policemen, teachers, farmers and engineers – the role was perhaps justification itself.

Yet it was a role in an alien land, and the customs and conventions of Hove or Huddersfield were absent. So the daily business of living in a British community – even a community of one or two, out in the bush – required the invention of a set of norms, of things which were done at certain times of the day, and things which were definitely not done at any time. These communities were obliged to define what being British meant. In the bungalows and clubs, the sundowners on the verandah and the suet puddings at the dinner table, they were acting out a version of what life was like at home. But it was a not-quite-perfect representation.

Creating and running this enormous enterprise required a certain type of individual, which gave Britain its idiosyncratic public-school system, designed to produce not intellectuals but “sound chaps” – capable, dependable, resourceful.

PARAMESWARA MALAYSIA OR SHOULD BE CALLED AS PARAMESWARASIA??

Parameswara the Prince from Majapahit,Java landed in Muar,Johor in 1399/1400 AD(or earlier 1250?) and later established the Malay Sultanate of Malacca from 1400 to 1511.
From 1511 to 1951,Malaysia evolved from being ruled by the Portugese(from Portugal),the Dutch(from Holland),the British(from UK).Between the rule of the Dutch and the British,Malaysia was nearly ruled by the French,if not for the deals between the Dutch/British that resulted in the British taking Malaysia and the Dutch taking Indonesia.Then there was a short stint by the Japanese(1942-1945) and the failed attempts by the Communist(1946-1989)....These are HISTORICAL facts,which have already HAPPENED..!

Finally between 1955 to 1957,the British agreed,but on condition that the other races,the Chinese and the Indians,BROUGHT in by the British in the late 1890s,(to work in the rubber plantations & tin mines )are to be included in the INDEPENDENCE of Malaya process,whereby there were a few conditions;

like CITIZENSHIPS of those who were already in Malaya by the year 1955;LANGUAGES;EDUCATION; RELIGIONS and the Malay's SPECIAL RIGHTS and the SULTAN SPECIAL POSITIONs.
THESE,again were and are HISTORICAL FACTS,some are written,some are mutual understanding at that
time,some are unwritten understandings...

Umno did not revoke Terengganu Hudud under Umno rule now ....

Hudud Law is only meant for the muslims. But Umno makes it a mockery by saying that there will be chaos in this country if Hudud Law is being implemented because Malaysia is a multi-racial and multi- religion country.

Whereas Hudud Law has got nothing to do with the non –muslims since they could easily opt to the present British Colonial Common Law or Civil Law for that matter. Which is not even a Chinese, or an Indian Law or even a Christian, Hindu or Buddhist Laws in reality.

Being a democratic country , Hudud Law i.e. The Syariah Criminal Enactment 11 was passed by the Kelantan State Assembly in 1993 and The Syariah Criminal Enactment was passed by the Terengganu State Assembly in 2003 respectively. This is in accordance with the procedures of democracy engaged by PAS in its Islamic political course and plights which is contradicted with the speeches of Umno leaders right from Tunku till Najib. Such as Hudud will stop development and not all Muslim States implement Hudud. Making it a plain mockery and a criminal defamations toward God as The Absolute Law Giver , Islam and the muslims at large.

Umno says, “ Hudud in Kelantan and Terengganu is PAS’s Hudud” and where is Umno’s Hudud? . Umno says, “ Hudud is in the Qur’an “ but any lay man for that matter (not law-man) will tell Hudud in the Al-qur’an and the Al –Hadis ( Traditions of the prophet ) must be legalized first in the State Assembly and in the parliament as such Umno is the blockate of Hudud Law all these while by sending a letter of threat to the Kelantan Government not to implement Hudud. Thus, Hudud had been a mockery of Umno.

When Mahathir said,” Why TGNA not implementing it when he’s no more the PM “ has proven that he had bulshited all the yes man leaders and followers of Umno that Umno is the biggest Islamic party in Malaysia but he himself makes Hudud a mockery and played escapism whereas Hudud is the responsibility of all muslims to practice it as to the 5 time prayer , pilgrimage, zakat and fasting as obligatory practices as ordained in the Qur’an.

Any where we go in the world , one will never find a Buddhist Court, a Hindu Court , a Christian Court or a Judaism Court for that matter . But for the muslims there’s such religious court known as The Syariah Criminal Law pertaining to i) Hudud Law i.e. i) Syariqah( burglary), ii) Hirabah( Arms Robbery ), iii) Syurb( Intoxicants), iv) Adultery, v) Qozaf( Accussations of adultery and Sodomy without four eye-witnessses ) and vi) Apostacy which is only meant for the followers of Islam i.e. Muslims . Even the Medina Charter of the prophet First Benevolent Government in Islam did not abide the Jews , Christians and pagans to follow ii) Qisos ( Batteries and causes of injuries ) and iii) Taazir ( Judge verdict not beyond Hudud punishment which is not in Hudud or Qisos ) such as drugs crime which is not supposed to be hanged right away as in the present Civil Law or pardoned a hang sentence except for the benefacaries consent with a certain amount of compensations agreed upon by both parties.

The idea of Hudud is to protect the muslims i) Faith, ii) healthy and sober mind iii) lives from being raped or murdered , iv) genuine and clean siblings and v) protect the property . Thus Islamic Law is not to punish but to educate the people and their sins being pardoned if they were to be sincere . acceptable and surrender to God in return they are free from the sins committed in the hereafter. An Islamic System of a Benevolent Government is not merely in this world ( unlike Umno until 2020) but until the hereafter as our future and eternal world or the actual permanent state we are heading to.

But Umno’s hudud mockeries have created fear amongst the muslims themselves condemning without understanding . But with PAS out-reaching of the true teachings of Islam right from its first President Tuan Hj Fuad 60 years ago i.e. in 1951 PAS was formed in Butterworth That was when The Ulamaks left Umno and formed PAS for they didn’t agree with gamblings approved by Umno till now which is different from Kelantan.

PAS leadership was then taken by a modern time ulamak who wrote the book on “ Symposium Tasauf “ was well respected of his depth religious knowledge who was also the first Malay Doctor in Homeopathy medicine i.e. Professor Doctor Burhanuddin Al Helmy and his Deputy , Professor Doctor Zulkifly Muhammad. Prof. Dr. Burhanuddin once was invited for an international meeting known as The Asia-Africa Conference for the first time held ; where he was the only one representing Asia and Malaya and South East Asia for that matter as one of the masses freedom fighters leader against colonizations and imperialism

Now after 60 years , there are many professionals, doctors, engineers, lawyers, lecturers, professors, and ulamaks as well hand in hand in PAS plights for a Benevolent State . Ulamaks and Professionals as ONE entity which attracted the non –muslims as well to join in a universal course of non-racist , primordial , clean, just and fair to everybody regardless of race and religion . As a matter a fact unexpectedly PAS has formed a new wing called “ PAS SUPPORTERS WING which was once given a hint by Prof. Dr. Zulkifly Muhammad and now became a reality comprised of about 20,000 non-muslims; PAS Benevolent State of Kelantan being its model of a good governance , zero –corruptions recognized by International bodies such as Transparency International

Suprisingly, unlike Umno ‘s drama with MCA and Gerakan Hudud’s Mockeries. Where Umno did not revoke Terengganu Hudud under Umno rule now and MCA and Gerakan did not withdraw from BN as for the Syariah Criminal Enactment in Terengganu being accepted by them since 2003. Whereas DAP and PKR and PAKATAN acknowledged the Hudud Law approved in Kelantan and Terengganu prior to the formation of Pakatan Rakyat. Congratulations Pakatan ! killed Umno stratagies stabbing itself for good ! Promote Orange Book and Pakatan Rakyat Common Policy Platform for a New Malaysia !

In the matter of DAP , PKR and PAS interpretations of the Civil Criminal Law, Federal Constitution and the Syariah Criminal Enactment in particular to be implemented in Kelantan; have plenty of rooms to be discussed with .With the acknowledgement of Pakatan towards Hudud in Kelantan and Trengganu . It could be proceeded fairly through a “ Constitution Court” yet to be formed in considering that Religion Is within the absolute power of the Sultans and States without Sultans is the Agong. And Islam is the official religion of Malaysia in its real meaning not secularized i.e. Islam as i) “ Ad-deen Waddaulah and ii) Ad-deen wa syariah “ promoting A Benevolent Islamic System of Good Governance and just to all and other religions are free to practice there to.

With all due respect to all the non-muslims as a whole and PAS SUPPORTERS WING , DAP and PKR. PAS will never enforced the Hudud Law towards the non-muslims as ordained in the Holy Qur’an “ La iqra hafiddeen “ ( There is no compulsion in religion) i.e. upon the non-muslims but only to the muslims being made obligatory as practicing their faith .Thus, The Islamic System is fair to everybody regardless of Religion and Race for it is performed with the spirit of : Rahmatan Lil “Alameen” ( A blesseth From God To the Whole World ).

http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/07/29/britain-will-never-humiliate-najib/

It is no different for Malaysians. Any dissenting voices are silenced with our draconian laws. Najib’s lieutenants distinguish themselves by singing praises in public about him. Didn’t Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob claim that he could mobilise three million people to support Najib on Facebook?

When Najib returned from Europe last week, having cut short his vacation, thousands turned up at the airport to welcome him.

The more intellectually challenged in this crowd thought Najib was magnanimous. If they cared to think a bit deeper, Najib was panicking about William Bourdon’s visit, the French lawyer who was in Malaysia to lecture about the Scorpene scandal. Najib subsequently deported Bourdon.

Nevertheless, it is common knowledge that the busloads of people greeting Najib are handsomely rewarded for their efforts.

Another similarity between Libya and Malaysia are the personal links the two leaders have with western nations. Gaddafi’s son, Saif, graduated from the London School of Economics and is closely linked to rich and powerful people in Europe and America.

In a British government trade and investment guide, Najib is described as an economics graduate from UK and someone whose rule is transparent – mere window-dressing to attract investors. There is no mention of Malaysia’s human rights abuses.

GREAT BRITAIN MOST SHAMEFUL EVENT IN HER HISTORY

SHAMES ON GREAT BRITAIN COVER-UP OF BATANG KALI MASSACRES AND MANY WAR CRIME INCLUDING RAPING OF DEATH FEMALE BODIES, KILLED THOUSANDS---IT IS THE MOST TERRIBLE WAR CRIME OF GREAT BRITAIN

on the testimony of villager Chong Hong, who claims he had a remarkable escape from Scots Guards’ bullets. "The soldiers gestured to us to turn our backs," he said. "We were all standing still, too frightened to move. Then the shooting began and I fell to the ground. I think I fainted from fright."

Inche Jaffar bin Taib, a Special Police Constable stationed at Batang Kali at the time of the killings, and who also acted as a guide for the Scots Guards, told Peng: "The Scots Guards told me not to look at the male detainees. I turned my back towards them and suddenly there was a terrific burst of gunfire. Women and children screamed. I turned around. There were dead bodies everywhere." He said he counted 25 bodies.

In 1970, disquiet over the Batang Kali killings persuaded Labour’s then Defence Minister, Denis Healey, to order an inquiry. A team from Scotland Yard was assembled to travel to Malaya but the inquiry was scuppered when Edward Heath’s Conservatives won the general election of that year and the inquiry was cancelled.

Ian Ward, a former Daily Telegraph war correspondent in south-east Asia who co-wrote the book with Peng, claims the Batang Kali cover-up proved "highly significant".

Ward said: "It set military parameters for operations. Commanders could thereafter remain confident that ‘excesses’ by their troops were unlikely to be exposed to public scrutiny.

"Equally important, Batang Kali undoubtedly sowed terror in the heart of the civilian population, just as it was planned to do."

GREAT BRITAIN MOST SHAMEFUL EVENT IN HER HISTORY AND UGLY COLONIAL CRUELTY, SINS AND EVILS

The incident occurred on 12 December 1948, six months into a 12-year campaign to crush the largely ethnic Chinese communists who were trying to drive out British colonialists.
Official accounts describe villagers being killed as they escaped into the jungle, having been warned they would be shot if they tried to flee.
However, survivors recall victims being led out of their homes and shot in the back.
The massacre remained largely forgotten until the People newspaper in 1970 ran an account of the killings, featuring sworn affidavits by several soldiers who admitted the villagers were shot in cold blood.

The British

decided to co-opt UMNO into their plan to control

Malaya after handing over Independence to

them. This, UMNO readily

agreed to. But who was using who?

The UMNO War Machine

UMNO is Britain’s greatest success story

in neo-colonialism.

The British would never have dreamed that

their poster boy would have survived for 61

years from 1948 with the signing of

the Federation of Malaya Agreement.

With the exception of Japan, this has

been the longest period any political party has

remained in power, without a break, in a

“democracy”. Statistically, it is almost

impossible and yet UMNO did it.

The key to UMNO’s power is the government

civil

service. This is the source of UMNO’s

talent and

leaders. There seems to be a symbiotic

(or incestuous?) relationship whereby leaders

for UMNO are drawn from the

upper rungs of the

civil service while those who did not join UMNO

but served loyally, are rewarded with

directorships in Govt Linked Companies (GLC)

or in the companies of crony businesses upon

their retirement. This is a corrupted version of

Japan’s Amakudari. and should help to

explain why the polic

and the top civil servants are

behaving in such a blatantly

partisan manner

in Perak today (7 May 2009).

Also here and here.

3.1 Topple Opposition State Governments

Let us look at some examples in the past:

1. Singapore 1965: Singapore joined Malaysia on 16 Sept 1963.

The state government there was led by Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) of

the PAP. He was trying to gain a foothold in Peninsular Malaysia

through his slogan of Malaysian Malaysia. The Alliance Party then

(consisting of UMNO, MCA and MIC) saw him as a threat to their

Chinese support base. UMNO triggered riots in Singapore to

create the conditions to declare a state of emergency, to arrest

LKY and take over the state government.

The British who still had the Commonwealth Army around to

defend Malaysia from Sukarno’s Confrontation against Malaysia,

were not in favour of such unconstitutional tactics and actively

discouraged it. So the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul

Rahman, did the next best thing – expel Singapore from Malaysia

on 9 Aug 1965.

2. Sarawak 14 Sept 1966: Stephen Kalong Ningkan

case.colluded with the Sarawak State Governor to

dismiss the Chief Minister, declared a State of Emergency

and installed her

own state government.

3. Kelantan Dec 1977: PAS toppled by BN through a

Declaration of Emergency.

4. Sabah 1985 to 1994: How the BN toppled PBS. and here.

Over a period of 9 years, UMNO tried various means to topple the

opposition PBS until she finally succeeded in 1994 by luring PBS’s

state assemblymen through cross-overs.

In all successful cases, UMNO was helped with the acqueiscence

of the State Governors/Sultans. They also took advantage of the

fact that the State of Emergency in Malaysia was never lifted

although the event that triggered the Emergency had long since

gone. They kept it ready to be used as and when necessary.

07 May 2009 Perak Coup

Previously, through total control of the media, UMNO could

determine the information fed to the Rats. This allowed them to

control public opinion and suppress any attempt to resist the

coup. This time round, with the advent of the internet (new

media) and modern technology, what UMNO did in the Perak

Assembly was broadcast live to the nation and the world. The

scenes of plain-clothes policemen masquerading as officials of

the Sergeant-at-arms manhandling the Speaker and dragging him

out of the Assembly will remain in the minds of the Rats for years

to come. During the next general elections, it will come back to

haunt UMNO.

What were these powers that

the British gave UMNO?

1. Special Branch, which at that time was one of

the best in the world, to suppress any challenge

to the government.

2. The military and the police as the

enforcement arms.

3. The National Registration Department to

control citizenship

One important lesson the British taught their

protégé was never to lose a general election.

This, UMNO took to heart and as the results

today attest, they mastered the art of winning

elections. Over the years, with the help of her

intelligence services, UMNO refined and

expanded the powers at her disposal, until it

has become her War Machine – a fearsome

power that struck terror in the opposition

parties.

The UMNO War Machine

This is the mental model (more definitions of

mental modelhere & here)

for UMNO’s War Machine together with the

other sections of government that she uses

against the opposition parties and the

The Masses or the Rakyat.

THE COLONIAL CIVIL ADMINISTRATION IN MALAYA

The BRITISH colonial administration in Malaya is bastard

AND

those worked with under colonial civil administration in Malaya, in any state, and received pay, allowance salary from British colonial are damn bastards, too.

These are traitors, treason and the real running dogs, the people'e enemy and designated agents of colonial evil, sins and colonial shits!

BRITISH AND THE COLONIALEMPIRE SHITS!!!!

colonial cruelty.........say no to colonial designated agent--umnok, mcamic,

British suppression of this in India was brutal and involved the hanging of whole families of men. We have a sorry colonial record along with many other countries. Ours is more recent than Mogul, Russian, Indian, Mogul, Shaka Zulu and so on. The current empire is American, and not short on squalor (the Philippine War and so on). One might ask what the world would look like now, had British, French and Russian forces bundled into the US in 1861, as intended. We probably owe a considerable amount of the progress in what democracy we have to the USA.

It was an alliance of nations made up of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States that invaded China around 1900 for imperialist trade purposes. These countries were soon fighting each other in largely imperialist world wars. My guess is we have as little clue now of what is brewing up.

养颜有方，脸上充满光泽

賴佩霞依舊駐顏有方，臉上永遠充滿光澤，問起健康保養之道，賴佩霞笑著說：「養生最好的方式，就是『覺察自己的念頭』，因為負向念頭會讓身體產生許多不必要的毒素與激素！」她進一步說明，現代許多人都會藉由運動來保持健康、釋放負面情緒，但是因為沒有先處理負面情緒，身體會有很多問題，再來運動解決反而是導因為果，這是不正確的。樂觀的賴佩霞對生命充滿著好奇，每天早上起來會先想想今天可能會碰到什麼樣有趣的人或事，世界正等著她，她打趣地說要活到93歲，未來可能還會增加，所以現在做的每一件事都是在為93歲的她鋪路，保持著正向善念是她維持健康的首要關鍵。此外，賴佩霞不吃人工添加物製品!!!

快樂是自己的事不是別人的

持家有方的賴佩霞有個幸福的家庭，連跟女兒講電話都笑臉盈盈，字句中充滿了愛，讓人欣羨不已，不過其中她可是投入了很多的心力，由自身做起，帶動身邊的人，她分享道：「快樂的人創造快樂的世界；痛苦的人創造痛苦的世界；應適時紓解情緒讓自己快樂，只要自己快樂，家人就會跟著快樂！」她很謙虛地說，自己並沒有做什麼，但是每個人與周遭的人之間都是無形的拉扯與掌控，其中一方有什麼言行，其他的人就會跟著牽動，因此，她努力做一個快樂的媽媽，因為「一個快樂的媽媽會讓孩子、先生都快樂」一旦「快樂」就會有更多動力去做其他的事，因此，讓自己快樂是自己的事，不是其他人的事！

抱怨唔單止產生強烈怨念同負能量，仲會令自己永遠都唔敢正視問題既癥結所在；連問題既真正厡因都面對唔到，咁又點可能解決佢？

所以，真係永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠永遠唔好抱怨。

風水佬呃你十年八年，但係，只要你留心自己既思想，停止抱怨兩個星期，包你既生命會發生轉變，仲會因為自己終於承擔起問題既責任而為自己而自豪，人亦會變得開心。

>I am reproducing an article below to educate cintanegara,his fellow UMNO apologists like melurian,kasim amat and Malaysians who have been taught Malaysian History over the last 15 to 20 years or so. A Small Piece Of HISTORY For Our Future Generation Hitler’s public relations manager Goebbels once said “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”.Looks like that is what UMNO has been doing ever since Mamakthir came into power. This has spawned a new generation of Malaysians who do not know their own history. Once again our government had to wipe out any references to a famous Melaka prince as being Hindu and belonging to the powerful Hindu empire Sri Vijaya. So all of a sudden our museums,school text-books etc all refer Parameswara as a Malay prince,just like the fairy who turns a pumpkin into a grand carriage to take Cindarella to the ball with a magic wand. It’s just that easy.That’s how magical the wand of “Ketuanan Melayu” is—can turn an Indian into a Malay. What race ruled or did not rule is besides the point. What is important is not butchering history to create your own truths. You cannot change your race even if you convert–Parameswara could not have been responsible to UMNO’s stupidity and false sense of heritage thro ‘Ketuanan Melayu’. If this is what it is based on,there is no ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ because the lineage of Melaka Sultans was an Indian and a Hindu Prince. It is clear from records that Parameswara never converted to Islam.He was an Indian Hindu who fled Palembang in Sumatra to eventually found Melaka circa 1400 AD and start the entire Malaysian royalty. Malaysian royalty was and is of Indian/Hindu origin. On the other hand it was Sri Maharaja who converted himself and the court of Melaka to Islam,and as a result took on the name of Mohammed Shah sometime after 1435. But what is really sad is that our children are taught as though Malaysian history suddenly began in 1400 with an Islamic Melaka. Even the Malays themselves are being cheated by UMNO into believing that everything started around 1400.WE are also led to believe that the Indians and Chinese first arrived on the shores of Malaysia only around 1850 as desparate indentured labourers,farmers and miners. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHUR FROM THE TRUTH. The cultural influence of India in particular,and China in South East Asia span over 2000 years starting perhaps with the arrival from India of the Brahmanical prince/scholar–Aji Saka in Java in AD 78, thro to Vietnam,Cambodia(Indo-China)Thailand,Burma,Indonesia,Bali,Borneo and beyond. Malay culture is Indian culture.In fact the whole of South East Asia is heavily influenced by Indian culture. The findings at Bujang valley speak of an ancient Indian/Hindu presence in Kedah.There were Chinese settlements in Pahang and Kelantan around the 13th-14th century and in the 12th century Singapore.The early Brunei Sultanate had a Chinese Queen. One need not ponder at length the implications of Angkor Wat and Borobudur or that 40%-50% of Bahasa Malaysia comprises Sangkrit/Tamil words.But all of these are hidden away from the rakyat inc the Malays themselves so the Malays in particular grow up with limited knowledge of their own country and heritage. An important archeological find that pointed to one of the greatest empires of all times in history–Raja Cholan empire that ruled from the Maldives thro India,Sri Lanka and right down to South East Asia found deep in the jungles of Johore a few years ago and made headlines in the main stream newspapers in 2005 suddenly disappeared from the news.

Tanggal 22 Jun 1996, maka dijatuhkan hukuman 18 bulan penjara, yang kemudiannya ditambah menjadi 36 bulan, oleh Mahkamah Sesyen Kuala Lumpur ke atas dua orang polis. Merengkok di penjaralah si Lans Koperal Muhari Mohamed Jani, 35, dan Lans Koperal P. Shanmugan, 33, kerana bersalah mencederakan si Mekanik bernama Lee Quat Leong yang akhirnya terus mati. Matinya Lee Quat Leong kerana didera semasa disoal siasat kerana dituduh memecah masuk Maybank Finance cawangan Cheras pada 6 Mac 1995. Inilah buktinya Mesra si polis. Kalau tak cukup lagi, kita tengok pula lebam dan cedera Anwar yang dibelasah hampir mati. Awang sendiri pun merasa ngeri. Mesrakah ini ?. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/anwarxtpm/message/9856?var=1&l=1

《八分行動術》

想得到幸福的價值觀，就要重視「不浪費」的觀念。作曲家三枝成彰的信念是：只為作曲而花大錢，而不會想購買豪宅或高級房車。因為一旦開始隨意花錢，就很容易花在與工作無關的事物上，最後導致無法做好工作。

曾有記者問洋基隊的松井秀喜，是否會將高年薪拿去投資？他回答：「我只專心於棒球，所以不會做其他投資。」優秀的工作人不光是為了金錢而工作，而是想把事情做好，並接受應有的報酬，所以對於「花錢」沒有太大興趣。

擁有許多財富，不代表必須花錢才能獲得幸福。克制自己的慾望，限制使用金錢的方法，讓自己不受金錢所支配，才是正確的用錢之道。

REMEMBER:

一旦開始隨意花錢，就很容易花在與工作無關的事物上，最後導致無法做好工作。

克制自己的慾望，限制使用金錢的方法，讓自己不受金錢所支配，才是正確的用錢之道。

內容簡介	儘管世間瞬息萬變，斯各特和海倫的愛情持續了半世紀　　海倫說：愛情生活中最珍貴的並不是性關係，　　而是雙方在每一個方面的互相體貼與心心相印！　　美國和平主義和環境生態保護者斯各特．聶爾玲，因為對現代文明的省思，二十世紀初他與夫人海倫在佛蒙特州及緬因州的森林農場，創立美好生活中心(The Good Life Centre)，過著回歸自然、崇尚簡樸、和平寧靜的生活。他倆終生力行的生活實驗，在當時創造一段生活傳奇，也成了二十一世紀的生活潮流。《美好人生的摯愛與告別》即由海倫?聶爾玲於八十八歲寫下這部自傳性質的著作，敘述她與年長二十一歲的丈夫斯各特之間，超過半世紀的「美好人生」。　　這一對靈魂伴侶，斯各特，曾是大學教授，因為說真話的率直言行被大學開除，驅逐出學術界；海倫，曾追隨知名的心靈導師克里西那穆第談了兩年的精神戀愛，在戀情結束形同陌路後，回到家鄉。一九二八年，獅子男和雙魚女相遇了，熟知占星的友人告訴他們：「這是一對很不尋常的奇妙結合，也許是神話故事中的精靈起作用的結果。」很快地，他倆從朋友變成情人，雖然個性不同卻能截長補短，共同譜寫新生活的二重唱。一九三二年，斯各特和海倫放棄紐約的繁華生活，展開了五十多年自食其力的田園生活。對於他倆來說，度過美好的人生乃是與大地和大地上生存的人和睦相處的過程，他們所追求的不是一種高消費的生活，而是高質量的生活。　　聶爾玲夫婦一直對於生死問題表示關注，尤其斯各特過了九十歲之後，更是如此，他們共同閱讀大量有關死亡的著述，相信生命與意識採取某些形式繼續存在，認為死亡只是一種過渡，不是生命的終結。一九八五年，斯各特百歲生日前開始絕食，一個半月後，他的身體機能自然停頓，猶如樹上枯葉順著風勢飄然落地般自然。整個過程由海倫從旁協助，尊重他自行決定告別生命的一場生死因緣。海倫表示，從斯各特自我選擇死亡而絕食的經驗，她學到了「死亡的尊嚴」意義。　　本書出版前後皆獲得極高的評價。精神醫學專家庫布勒．羅斯讚歎：「本書是一位了不起的女性作者所寫過最美麗的愛的故事之一。」臺灣生死學之父傅偉勳教授特別撰文推薦：「這是一本很雄辯地談到，老齡化生活與心平氣和而有控制地面對死亡的意義究竟是什麼。」作者簡介海倫．聶爾玲Helen Nearing (1904-1995) 　　是一位獨立、富有獻身精神和充滿智慧的女性。　　她出生富裕家庭，為了愛情和實踐理想，放棄前途似錦的音樂演奏生涯，心甘情願與斯各特．聶爾玲(Scott Nearing, 1883-1983)──一位因政治觀點激進，被賓州大學開除的經濟學教授，移居到鄉野，過著遠離塵世，回歸自然，與萬物共生的生活。他們倡導社會主義，同時也是素食、和平主義者。
