Gaza Calm



Gaza Calm

Calm Returns
To Gaza Today
As Israeli And Hamas
Fighters Take
A Rest - Time Out -
As Diplomatic Flurry
Tries To Make Peace
Real

Somehow Beautiful Rainbow
Shows Up
At Northern Gaza
At Israel-Gaza border
As Israeli Troops 
Hold Their Fire

Soon After
Mussa Abu Marzuq
Hamas's Exiled No.2
Announced Over
Syria's Television
Hamas's One-Week
Truce For Israeli
Troops Pullout
On Day 22 ~
12 Hours After 
Israel's Sunday 2 a.m.
Unilateral Ceasefire Declaration

This All Happens
Just Two Days
Before US President-elect
Barack Obama's Inauguration
As 44th US President
On Tuesday(January 20,2009)

But Since Bombs-For-Rockets
War Broke Out
On December 27,2008
More than 1,200 Palestinians
And 13 Israelis
Have Been Killed
And Thousands 
Of Sufferers Injured
And Made Homeless

Yesterday Egypt's President
Hosni Mubarak
Hosted Summit
For European and Arab Leaders
And UN Secretary-General
Ban Ki-moon
At Egyptian Red Sea
Sharm el Sheik Resort

Together With France's President
Nicholas Sarkozy
Mubarak Pushes
For Peace Deal
Pledging To Help
Rebuild Gaza
Calling For End
To Arms-smuggling
And Opening Up
Of Gaza To Humanitarian Aid

The European leaders -
Czech,German,Italian,Spanish,
British and French -
Then Adjourned 
For Dinner in Jerusalem
With Israel's Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert

Israel Neither Wants
To Conquer Nor Control
Gaza Strip Densely Populated
Desert Land 45 km. Long
And Between Six and 12 km. Wide
Wedged Between Israel And Egypt
With Population Of 
1.5 Million People,
Stresses Olmert
Addressing His European Guests

In Fact,Israel
Wants To Get Out
"As Fast As Possible"

Israeli Troops And Tanks
Have begun Moving Over
Border Back To Israel
Minutes' Ago

The Question Now
Is Whether Hamas
Would Halt Rocket Launches
As Israel Has Stopped
Bombing

Wars Flared Up
Between Both Sides
In 1948,1956,1967,
1973,1982,2006
And The Latest
Just After last Christmas Day

Israel Launched
The New Punishing Lesson
Ahead Of Its Crucial Election
Scheduled On February 10,2009
As Its "Deterrent Power"
Against Hamas's Rocket Fire

In Recent Days
The Arab World
Appears Divided
Over Effective Response

Last Friday
Qatar's Emir
Hosted Emergency Arab Summit
At Doha Attended By
Iran's President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
And Syria's President
Bashar Assad
Both Strong Backers
Of Hamas

But Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas
Did Not Show Up!

Neither Did Any Representatives
From Egypt,Jordan And Saudi Arabia!

The Emir Had To Send
His Private Jet To Syria
To Fly In Hamas's Head
Of Political Wing
Khaled Mashaal
Who Called On Arab Countries
To Cut Ties With Israel

Today, Kuwait Will Host
Arab League Summit
To Discuss The Way Forward
To Assure Durable Peace!

Wind of Change


Wind of Change

Wind of Change
Swept and humbled
Mighty National Front
(Barisan Nasional)
Election machinery

Malaysia's Opposition
People Alliance
(Pakatan Rakyat)
Won Kuala Trengganu
Parliamentary seat
In crucial by-election
Saturday evening
(January 17,2009)

The well-orchestrated
Opposition three-party combine
Of PKR,DAP and PAS
Captured the state capital
Seat ~ Crown jewel
Of oil-rich Trengganu ~
Scenic state in northeast
Malay peninsula
Off South China Sea

Its PAS candidate
Mohd Abdul Wahid Endut(32,883 votes)
Wrestled the prized seat
In hard fought
Three-cornered contest
In Malay heartland
Defeating
Barisan's UMNO candidate
Datuk Wan Farid Wan Salleh(30,252 votes)
by 2,631 votes margin


Independent candidate
Azharuddin Mamat,
Spoiler put in to split votes,
Drew only 193 votes
Losing his deposit

There were 665 spoilt votes

Voters' turnout
Was almost 80 per cent
(79.76 per cent)


The loss of the seat
Is big blow to Barisan's effort
To win back the people's confidence

PKR de facto leader
Former Deputy Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim,
Earlier beaten up
With "Black Eye" injury
By disgraced former
Inspector-General of Police
And sacked,jailed and maligned  
By ruthless former Prime Minister
Tun Dr Mahathir
Mohamed for
So-called sodomy charges,
Read the victory
As people's drive for change


Malaysia's Parliament
Now seats 
137 Barisan MPs,
82 Opposition MPs
And three independent MPs

The death of Barisan MP
Datuk Razali Ismail
Last month triggered
The by-election

Malaysian Chinese Association
(MCA) President
Datuk Seri Ong Tee Kiat,
Thanking Chinese voters' support
For ruling coalition,
Stressed 63 per cent to 65 per cent
Of  8,735 Chinese voters
In Kuala Trengganu
Voted for Barisan Nasional,
An increase,as against 58 per cent
To 63 per cent in March 8,2008
General Election

Ong attributed BN defeat
To swing of Malay votes
To opposition

His immediate analysis
Suggests secret ballot
Is NO LONGER SECRET!

Boxes of ballot papers
Were all labelled
To show where voters
Cast their votes
And systematically counted
Enabling instant analysis
Of each area's community support!

However,PAS President
Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang
Was magnanimous
Against such failed divide and rule
Racial play strategy,
Stressing Malaysians
Are ready for PARADIGM SHIFT
IN MALAYSIA'S POLITICAL LANDSCAPE

He reasoned
PAS WON BECAUSE LEADERS
OF DAP,PKR AND PAS
UNDER PAKATAN RAKYAT UMBRELLA
STEPPED UP CO-OPERATION
And worked hard side by side

The fall of Kuala Trengganu
Seat to the Opposition
Highlights 
Wind of Change
Blowing strong 
In Malaysian politics

On March 8,2008
National Front coalition government
Lost two-third majority
Control of Parliament
After Malaysia's 50 years of independence
And parliamentary democracy
History

Opposition People Alliance
For the first time
Won control of five state assemblies
In Penang,Perak,Selangor,Kedah and Kelantan

The Political Tsunami
Precipitated public demand
For Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
To resign 
By his own party UMNO stalwarts

The unprecedented losses
Of seats in Parliament and State Assemblies
Were a sharp contrast 
To the massive mandate
Given by Malaysian voters
In the 2004 Election
"Feel Good" Euphoria

Abdullah has bowed
To pressure to relinquish
His post to his deputy
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak
At coming UMNO general assembly
And election
In March 2009
After barely five years in office

Today he left
For first offical visit
To Gulf states ~ Bahrain
Qatar and United Arab Emirates

Yesterday's Opposition victory
Is another stinging snub
By voters

Despite the largesse
Of special funds for schools
Fishermen's aid,etc...
The trend to remove
Corruption-tainted UMNO
From power is gathering steam

It bespeaks Malaysian
Political maturity
And unity to reject
Political bribery

It signifies increasing awareness
Understanding and mass appreciation
Of good governance
Healthy accountable competitive
Two-party system 
Of democracy
Where people 
Have the courage
To speak up
And the choice
To change the government

Remembering the arrogance
And abuses of power
In amendments after amendments
To the Federal Constitution
Via overwhelming two-third majority
Bulldoze in Parliment and the destruction
Of the independence of the judiciary,
Decline in educational quality and standard
And cancerous corruption in civil service,
Police,Immigration,etc. 
During Mahathir's rule;
One and All
Must welcome 
POSITIVE CHANGE
In Malaysia's politics!
