"Cows-Condos" Crisis

Malaysia's powerful

Women,Family and Community Development

Minister faces fall from grace

In "Cows-Condos" Crisis.



The worst

Has yet to hit hard home

For once popular female rising star politician

Wanita Umno chief

Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil ~

Now out of special survival sympathy

Having enjoyed years

Of extraordinary political favour

Lady Luck good fortune

And high-profiled support

By some top Malaysian politicians and corporate captains

That did not stop her defeat

As Lembah Pantai MP candidate

By political novice

Nurul Izzah Anwar -

Daughter of sacked Former Deputy Prime Minister

Turned Opposition Leader

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim -

In Nurul Izzah's election debut

During 2008 political tsunami.




Malaysia's Auditor-General

Has highlighted discrepancies

Spot on

National Feedlot Corporation(NFC)

Scandal ~

Clearly exposing the Wanita Umno chief's

Family business

Gone publicly bad and wrong ~

Controversial "National Food Security" Project ~

Big business involving cow breeding and fattening for slaughter and meat marketing

To reduce Malaysia's beef import bill

And cut foreign exchange outflow

Under Former Prime Minister

Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's

Stated policy thrust ~

Trust on her husband as NFC's Executive Chairman

And her son as Chief Executive Officer (CEO).




Weak knee-jerk defences

Are no strong excuses,

As good lawyers know,

To spare

Any aspiring heroine the bright glare

Of mass media spotlight

Like her ousted predeccesor

Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz.



Calls for "Kak Ijat"

To be spat

Out for fierce exercise of power and influence

In using the women's wing

As her shield

To deflect public outcry

Scrutiny and criticism

And direct attention away

From the NFC fiasco controversy

Exposing personal family

"Cows-Condos" Crisis

Involving millions

Of ringgit of tax-payers' money

Surely will mount

By the day

As Malaysia's next national election

Looms.



"Winnable candidates"

In winnable areas

By winnable parties

For winnable campaigns

Are hot news issues

Burning bright

In future think tank

Political strategy

Public trust accountability

Transparency to catalyze

Greater social economic political transformation

Modernization of Malaysia

Into rank of developed nations

In line with Vision 2020.



Already outrage over alleged corruption

Has turned the heat on her

To go.



Former Prime Minister

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

Has spoken out

Advising her

To know when to quit:

"Don't wait

For people to chase you out."



Her own party chieftains

Kinabatangan MP

Datuk Bung Moktar Radin

And Cheras Umno chief

Datuk Syed Ali Alhabshee

Have also urged her to resign

From Cabinet Minister and Umno Women chief posts.



Facts must speak louder than words.



Top powerful holders

Of public office and trust

Must face the music

For they are subject

To public scrutiny,criticism and accountability.



Family values and fundamental principles

Must matter

In intelligent political discourse and debate

On any nation's future bold vision and courageous leadership -

More vital and deeper

Than sweet smiling persona.



Any leader of high calibre

Entrusted with the vital duty and heavy responsibility

To take good care

Of "Women,Family and Community Development"

Must know

When to bow out gracefully.



Her time

To strut her stuff

With wealthy lifestyle and personal ostentation

Like her family's policy distortion

Strategy misdirection

Via alleged investment management misplacement

Of public funds

From purchase of cows

To luxury condominiums

Must soon be over.



While women,the poor,needy and distressed suffer

Without more meaningful drastic reform and improvement,

Big question mark

Hangs over her political future.




Can she champion causes

Credibly

To organize,mobilize and motivate people

To win votes

And deliver effective results

With the dark cloud

Of "Cows-Condos" Crisis

Eclipsing her once bright political star?




Can the nation and people

Give her public trust and support

When her husband and son

Have used public funds

To buy luxury condominiums

In Malaysia's affluent Bangsar

Instead of cows?



Any wise warrior

Must weigh

Pros and cons

Of whether to be or not to be

Famous infamous

Fodder focus

Of opposition firepower

And fresh firestorm

In fast changing global political landscape.




Political leaders seldom

Wish to give up power.



But events

Can force

Entrenched politicians to lose high position and power overnight.



Like it or not,

Dummies,

Few politicians are angels

For politics can be clean or dirty

Games of power and privilege

Depending on one's true virtue

And overarching vision and mission

To serve the public interest

Above and beyond self-interest.

9.0 Mega Quake Tsunami

What words can reveal
The grief I feel.

I watch in horror
Fire on water
9.0 mega quake tsunami
Terror
Before I can swallow sushi
Reeling from NHK aerial film
On CNN breaking news on my computer.

Friday March 11,2011
2.46 p.m. Tokyo time
It hits Japan and the world.

From epicenter 130 kilometers (81 miles)
In the sea 32 kilometers deep
East of Sendai
Miyagi Prefecture
On Honshu Northeastern Japan
It surges awesome
In force and momentum.

Can memory cold recall
What fear and pity
It evokes for all
Seeing tsunami
Sweeping wiping all
Within its reach
In minutes.

Who can withstand
10 meters (33 feet) waves
Towering roaring fleet
Like a great avalanche
Huge whirlpool mowing pulling
Anything away.

All we call
And hold dear
Can be no more.

Gone without a clue
Devastated on land and sea.

In calm contemplation
In retrospection
We see
Many forms graphic images
Surreal reality of life's
Fragility.

We see faces
Ignoring useless baggage
Clutter flutter
Thrown up by circumstance.

No more weighty or vital.
No better than burdensome
Temporal toys and things.

Ah,worldly things.
All vain glory
In one's transitory journey
On earth.

Japan's most powerful earthquake
Offers new lessons.

It has moved Honshu
2.4 meters (eight feet)
Closer to North America.

It has shifted
The earth on its axis
By nearly 10 centimeters.

Latest live updates
Show nuclear emergency
As workers race against time
To cool reactors with sea water
Struggling to stop radiation leaks
At the crippled Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear power station.

Three blasts have rocked
The power plant.
Three nuclear reactors
are on the verge of meltdown.

Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan
Has urged anyone still
Within 20-30 kilometers radius
Around the power plant
To stay indoors
to minimize radioactive exposure.

The Japanese government
Has imposed no-fly zone
over the area.

The gravity of looming nuclear crisis
Has sent the Tokyo Stock Exchange
Plunging steeply by more than 16 percent
These two days.

Help Japan
In its toughest time
And darkest hour.

Hundred of big aftershocks
Like the one of more than six magnitude
Continue to shake the shocked sufferers.

So please
Extend a helping hand
To ease the pain,suffering
Distress.

Via mercy,sympathy and empathy
Kindly offer help
To give relief
Succour,comfort,solace - LOVE!

In warm embrace
We understand
The GRACE
Of LOVE,LIGHT LIFE!

We share
The meaning - benign face -
Of real global humanity.

We can together HELP
Diminish the unhappiness
Easing the strain bane
Sadness
Of the devastating tragedy
Via the goodness kindness
Boon of uncondititional
Universal LOVE!

Help Japan
Learn to live
In Grace
In all simplicity
Humility and humanity!
