  • PROPER UNDERSTANDING OF ROMANS 13

    May 26, 13

    There appears to be a tweet by @BetterNation quoting Rom 13, in particular v1-2 that we should submit to authorities. I also heat that some churches are also quoting this to discourage young people from going to rallies or supporting peaceful dissent.
    

    
    

    Well, may I say that this passage is perhaps misquoted, especially by those intent on Christians to be submissive and accepting of any government, even bad ones. The fact is that the whole passage Rom 13:1-7 needs to be understood in its entirety. May I share an excellent article posted on The Micah Mandatearchive (courtesy of my friend, Cynthia Tan), written by Dr Isabelo Magalit (President of Asia Theological Seminary, an eminent evangelical institution, past Sec Gen of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students East Asia and past-leader of IVCF Philippines). I personally know and highly respect Bell Magalit. While a little dated, this is still an excellent exegesis of the passage, in his reflection of the situation in the Philippines not long after the church supported movement that ousted Marcos. The situation then bears an uncanny similarity to our situation today.
    
    To summarise, this passage teaches four vital principles concerning the Christian and the State :
    

    1. Power and authority are not the same. Only God has the ultimate power and authority. Earthly authority is allowed as God's agent for order and justice
    2. We submit to authority because it is God-given. Hence that submission is under God and subject to the greater laws of God - justice, mercy, truth and faithfulness. Note that submission is not the same as blind obedience.
    3. The authority of rulers is limited - derived and not absolute and subject to them doing what is right and good. When the greater laws are violated, then like Peter, we need to be prepared to say, "we must obey God rather than man" Acts 5:29
    4. Rulers are given authority for a purpose - to promote good and to prevent evil, to provide order and justice. Failure to serve that purpose brings question to the legitimacy of such authority.

    In testing whether the current 'govt' fulfill this, 2 tests of legitimacy are submitted: -
    

    1. The first test as conformity to divine design. If rulers promote good and restrain evil we may say that they have God-given authority to rule.
    2. The second test that a government has the right to rule is that it has been freely chosen by the people. Within the context of democracy, it is biblical to say that authority comes from God, and he delegates some to rulers, who are chosen by the people.

  • How to treat registered mail.

    May 23, 13

    Open letters BEFORE signing to acknowledge receipt of the AR registered letter !!!!!
    
    Folks, the next time the postman or courier guy comes to deliver a registered letter, a certificate of posting letter or parcel , do the following: -
    

    1. Check who is it from.
    2. If you do not know the source , reject it .

    If you accept it without knowing the source , the following has happened and can happen to you too : There have been cases where lawyers have done the following :
    

    1. Mailed empty / sealed AR registered letters to people on behalf of their clients for some court case matter.
    2. AR Registered mail , either, consisted of brochures promoting sale of new real estate or some car model or just an empty A4 size paper inside. In normal circumstances , when one receives an empty letter or junk mail, they will just tear and throw away , BUT BUT , here lies the danger :
    3. You signed the AR registered card and it is returned to the law firm that that letter was delivered and the signed AR card is proof of delivery and will be used against you in court.
    4. Same applies to the so very convenient "CERTIFICATE OF POSTING " mail .

    When the grace period for you to respond is over , they quietly go to court and show proof that an AR registered letter was sent to you as a reminder and you did not bother to defend it and thus convince the court officials and get a judgment against you.
    
    Next another AR registered letter is sent to you asking for damages approved by the court , or just another empty envelope and you discard it once more and this time the white collar crook will go to the court quietly and seek the assistance of the court to seal your property to recover the amount given by the court and soon the court bailiff will be at your door step to execute the order . What happens next ? You frantically call your relatives in disbelief and seek legal advise . You are lost not knowing whats happening.
    
    Anxiety , stress , palpitation , sleepless nights cannot be compensated as this is a reality check . You engage a lawyer , spend a few thousand ringgit polishing their pockets for paper work and appeal to the High court to set aside this matter . What is your rights ?
    

    1. You have every right to reject any mail / parcel that comes from unknown sources , be it a debt collection company, law firm or some individual .
    2. You have every right to ask the postman or the person delivering it to open the mail and let you see what is inside and the contents of the letter.
    3. REJECT it if you are not comfortable or ask them to deliver to a law firm that you know.
    4. If you have inadvertently signed and collected the empty AR or empty ordinary registered mail, lodge a police report and also report to the bar council as this will protect you if the matter goes to court.

    Eye opener isn't it , crime is beyond house break ins and snatch thefts, most of the time thieves get a few hundred ringgit BUT here you spend thousands of ringgit , many hours spent traveling to court or to your lawyers office, not forgetting the stress, anxiety , sleepless nights , etc
    
    These days , the crooks come dressed in suits , so beware and be smart
    
    Do inform your family members, mother in law, grand ma , maid, children , hubby .... NOT ..DO NOT SIGN ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ... let them leave a card, go check at the post office , if not comfortable, just reject it or ask the postman to open and show you what is inside..

  • My first hand account of the 13th General Elections of Malaysia.

    May 21, 13

    Okay, time to finally write about this.
    
    It was my very first time going through the voting process. I have voted before, but in a casual way, for committee members, presidents, Toastmaster committees, etc..
    
    Again those were very casually done, with raising of hands. The only secret ballot was in Monash University Caulfield, where there was an election for their student council? So I went through the whole walled table then insert the ballot into the box thing. A third party handled the "elections".
    
    

    Now the time came. After the announcement by the Election Commission, there was a general electrified air of excitement. The days counted down, the campaigning went beyond overdrive, including massive rallies.
    
    May 5th, 8 a.m. -- The polling station opens its doors for the first voters. According to my folks who went past the area, there was a long queue.
    
    So we had our breakfast, and decided to cast the votes nearer lunchtime.
    
    10 a.m. -- Dad and I departed on foot to the polling station, just a 1 minute walk away to my primary school! We had our identity cards and printouts from the site as check sheets in case the first counter allocates the wrong voter channel. We also had a small plastic sleeve each to prevent the wet inked finger from staining.
    
    I still find it extremely funny that despite the new identity card that has a 64k smart chip in it, verification is still done manually, with the human naked eye. Though the register is stored on a Commission provided laptop. Election volunteers, appointed by respective political parties and placed in position by the Commission, kept an eagle eye watch on the personnel keying into the computer and striking out the name.
    
    I made sure the strike out was good. It was. Identity card given back to me with a small slip of paper indicating the channel and some handwritten number on it.
    
    Being led by more friendly volunteers and Commission staff, I found myself in a dark dinky area
    
    Surprise surprise the voter channel 4 queue was EXTREME!! They consisted of yuppies, all on their mobile devices checking out stuff, and talking to each other about things that have happened, church services that were cancelled in lieu, skipping church, etc..
    

    
    

    
    

    
    

    I had to wait in this line, inching along, for over an hour. A young cop came along asking in Malay whoever is pregnant can skip ahead. I really should have brought some water. I thought it would be fast.

    
    

    The official statistics were that 87% of voters turned up to vote.

    
    

    Just round the corner, I encountered my alma mater high school across the valley. So you can see how close both my schools were.

    About a third of the school now hangs over the valley with the use of a flimsy looking scaffold. Original plans called for that part to be terraced and a swimming pool added. The principal seems to be same still, though management has changed.

    There were a few chicks in the queue

    
    

    Passing the stinky and gayly painted pink GENTS bathroom.  This seems to be the only change since I left in 1994.

    Toilet prayer. There is such a thing! It says "ENTER TOILET PRAYER: Oh Lord, protect me with all Your might from the disturbances of male and female satan. EXIT TOILET PRAYER: With all Your hope, all praises to God who cleanses all dirt from my body and make me healthy"

    Can someone help confirm if in front of me, Datuk Ambiga Sreenivasan was having a chat with her three children / granchildren? Sure sounded and looked like her.

    
    

    The school atrium. That old North Korean style megaphone speaker is still seen there at the far end, and the library still is to the left of it. Standard Five and Six is on the top floor. Once a classmate puked in the corridor, there was a waterfall of slimy chocolate milk (from the Govt.'s School Milk Programme) vomit from the drainage pipes as they cleaned it up.

    Once at this point, it is within the hot limit of the polling room, under the watchful eyes of several policemen and Election Commission officials with the polling agent volunteers. Photography of the polling rooms themselves are strictly prohibited and can render the vote null and void. Only media personnel who voted a few days earlier, are allowed to record the rooms.

    
    

    A little dehydrated and slightly hungry, my hands shivered (with excitement too) as I entered the room. First time voting. This is it!

    
    

    The first counter read off loudly my voter number and name. I watched for her to cross out my name, she kept gesticulating to me to move along. Hmm... I could have reported, but I did see her cross out the name. I really hope.

    
    

    The second counter brushed the silly now non permanent ink (to make it halal sigh..) on my left index finger. Quality seems to be that of normal ballpoint roller ink. A little runny. Straightaway I wrapped the finger into the little plastic bag.

    The ink on the nail washed off almost instantly. The rest took about 2 days.

    The third and final counter handed the large sized official ballot papers. Orange for the Parliament, bermuda brown for the Constituency. If I recalled rightly.

    Going behind the booth, I used the provided pen, making sure it is a proper pen. Marked both papers, folded it once and headed to the perspex boxes, already almost full.

    
    

    The old Election Commission warden manning it was very nice and gentle. Told me to fold them another time and to insert them on my own. After that he used a flat stick to push in the vote.

    
    

    I then walked out as fast as I could back home. Hungry, thirsty and tired.

    Met the neighbour along the way and told him of the long line on Channels 3 and 4.

    
    

    My mum, dad and sister all completed their votes before I reached home.

    
    

    So that was it. The Opposition still owned my constituency, and the parliament seat is owned by quite a saucy lady Yeo Bee Yin.

  • This Little Malay Ripple That Joined The Tsunami

    May 09, 13

    by Karina Bahrin (Notes) on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 9:07pm
    Dear Prime Minister and all in UMNO
    
    I am, by your definition, Malay.  Except it is said that in our family folklore, my paternal grandmother was probably biologically Chinese.  And yes, my mother is a former Catholic from the Philippines.
    
    Not that any of that should matter because, as far as you are concerned, I am Malay.
    
    Only, I did not vote for you.  And neither did a whole lot of other Malays,despite what you would like to think.  Do the math.  If 80% of the population voted, then surely, you cannot blame the erosion of your power on the Chinese minority.  Or did you fail that subject too?
    
    I voted for the Opposition because as a Malay, I myself have had enough.  Not because I necessarily like all the Opposition leaders, but frankly, I just like you lot less.  Because despite all your rhetoric about the Opposition being a lying, conniving bunch, I have personally born witness and been on the receiving end of YOUR lies and policies that stoke racial and religious polarity.  Not the Opposition's.
    
    Yours.
    
    Because your government is the only one I have ever known since birth.  And what I see and experience every day in my life is your creation.
    
    Yes, I am a recipient of your Bumiputera scholarship.  I went to one of the world's best  schools.  In my graduating class, there were less Malaysians than you could count on one hand.  The truth is, I could have obtained my own scholarship from someone else in the world if I wanted to.  And believe me, there are many times I wish I had taken that route, so that I can be relieved of the only burden of debt I feel towards you and your policies.
    
    After graduating from university, I chose to return home.  Yes, I was apparently bonded to work for you for ten years, in repayment for the education you provided me.  But instead, you chose to let me go.  And I still remained here.  Because this is my home.
    
    I could have chosen to work in one of the richest and most developed countries in the world, but I decided to remain in Malaysia.
    
    Over the last twenty years, I have never relied on favours or connections to get a job.  It is against my principles.  And I have done well.  Believe me.  I can get a job in corporate Asia if I want  to.  I used to have a job with one of the world's largest companies, overseeing seven countries in the region.  Bosses tried to entice me to leave – decamp to Singapore,  Hong Kong and even Japan.  But I still chose to stay here.
    
    In the last four years, I decided to leave corporate Malaysia, because the extent of the rot I saw within its walls were so bad that if I knew any more , I would have to migrate. You may find this hard to believe, but when us ordinary Malaysians are exposed to the incompetence of our policy-makers and leaders, appalled is an understatement.  More than that, the arrogance (and worse, lack of sheer, basic intelligence) of many of those in power whom I have met, whether in the government,quasi-government or private sector crony companies, made me begin to believe that Malaysia was not capable of producing good leaders.
    
    You see, I have benchmarks for comparison.  I have worked with some of the world's biggest leaders, names you would recognise in a heartbeat.   Don't  believe me?  Try Colin Powell.  Or Kissinger. Or Bill Gates.   And NONE of them can equal the arrogance and despicable character of some of Malaysia's corporate and government leaders I have met.
    
    Since I have left corporate Malaysia, I have become a small business entrepreneur.  And to no surprise, there was zero assistance to be had, even with my Malayness.  Funds that should be used to catalyse entrepreneurs like me had dissipated.  Government funding vehicles were uninterested, because hey, they have no time to do due diligence on a company asking for a million Ringgit or two.  What's the point?  It takes just as much work to do the due  diligence for a company asking for ten times that amount.
    
    So I struck it out on my own.  And Alhamdullillah, things have been good.  In fact, they are so good our small little engine that could (it's a tiny boutique hotel) won an award as one of Malaysia's top bed and breakfasts within the first year of operations.
    
    None of my achievements are because you helped me.
    
    Yet, at every election, at every opportunity you get, you turn around and tell me how much you do for me.
    
    Well honey, you lie.
    
    So no, it is not just the Chinese who voted for the Opposition this time.  Because you can count on at least THIS Melayu who did as well. Please stop insulting me and negating my role in your erosion of power.  If you had any sense, you would realise this, and realise it quickly. And figure out how to win Malays like myself back.
    
    But my faith in the good of your kind unfortunately does not stretch that far.  And today you reaffirmed my lack of confidence in you a thousand-fold.
    
    Keep insulting my fellow Malaysian Chinese.  It will not bring me closer to you, because I do NOT count you as my people.
    
    The Malays I am part of are a people who have for generations lived shoulder-to-shoulder with other races,  because we ourselves know our own history, and accept the fact that we are a race that is borne of a meld of many others.  We are a race that has itself experimented with different brands of theology, are unafraid of adapting aspects of other cultures into our own and has NEVER thrived in isolation.  Unlike Japan, we do not have a history of cultural, social or economic growth that does not coincide with an era of openness, cross-border trade or cultural assimilation, be it with or without force.
    
    If you are going to blame the Chinese for your losses, please,blame me too.  And the rest of the Malaysians who did the same.  We ALL did it.  And yes, the entire classroom is standing up this time.

  • A Polling Agent's Personal Account of the 13th General Election Malaysia..

    May 09, 13

              My name is Johann Sze and i had the privilege of serving as a polling agent for none other than Nurul Izzah Anwar. This is my account on what happened on the 5th of May in the Lembah Pantai constituency.
    

    
    I started my shift at Sekolah Menengah Bukit Bandaraya at around 1pm on 5th May 2013. It was quite a quiet shift for me as majority of the voters came in the morning. I must give credit to the SPR team from my school, led by the principal herself, who were very helpful to both the voters and polling agents. Many rushed out with umbrellas and wheelchairs to guide and shield the voters from the rain. The only exciting event during my shift was when Dato' Raja Nong Chik and his wife came to cast their vote at 4pm. Much to their dismay, they were greeted only by the Press as most voters had already fulfilled their responsibility early in the day. 

    RNC and wife arriving at 4pm

    
    
    Throughout my whole shift, there were about 25 people standing around the PKR tent, waving the party flag and cheering at each car that passed by. In return, they were greeted with various honk patterns, making the whole event a very lively one. The BN tent was about 20 meters away and both group of supporters were at their best behavior. There was another group of people, about 30 or so from PKR and Bersih, waited outside the school gate to protect the school from any "phantom" or "unauthorized" voters. I have the highest respect for all of them as they stood their ground despite the rain and heat. 

     

    The school gate was closed at 5pm with loud cheers from the supporters waiting outside. I was still waiting inside the school for the Counting Agents (CA) to do their thing. At about 6pm, we received an SMS from the first Saluran giving Nurul the lead, 142 - 89. We did not hesitate and announced the results to the supporters waiting outside. It was such a beautiful sight, seeing people from all races celebrating together with loud cheers as the results of each saluran was read out. In all 6 Salurans from Bukit Bandaraya, Nurul led comfortably, 1933 to 708.

    SPR transfering the balot boxes

     

     

    Along with the SPR and supporters, we convoyed our way to the central tallying centre (cant rmb the school's name). Despite the police escort, my car was blocked, not by the police but by PKR supporters as they wanted to check whether my car had any extra ballot boxes. I rmb driving past and a lady shouted "Why you let the car in so easily? Why never check?" Haha.. Seriously respect these people who waited throughout the night to "guard" the whole area! 

     

    As soon as i entered the school, we immediately met up with the other PACA heads from other schools in Lembah Pantai to consolidate the count. One of them was constantly on the phone with Nurul, updating her through out the tallying. We were working under this dodgy looking tent with flashlights as our only source of light

    Our pathetic work area

    . After a while, I took over the role of tallying all the Salurans under Lembah Pantai as different ones were shouting their results over the phone. Nurul started with a huge disadvantage as she was trailing 120 - 266 on postal votes and 76 to a whooping 1783 on Undi Awal. I started adding up the different reports from different schools and tried my so very best not to screw anything up. 

     

    Up until the 12,000 count, Nurul was trailing by a couple of hundred votes with both sides having about 6000 votes each. We suddenly received an SMS from Bukit Bandaraya, J. Bangkung saying, PKR 3170, BN 947 IDV 8. With that, Nurul took the lead for the first time, with slightly more than 2000 margin. One by one, the results started coming in and Nurul continued to lead by about 3000 ++ votes. All of our tallying were based on SMS and calls but no confirmation was made as we did not crosscheck it against the Form 14 then. We are happy with the current results but many were still worried as this results werent fully verified and we have yet to receive anything from Sekolah Rendah Agama Sri Pantai, a BN fortress. By this time, we have moved to a classroom as things started to get quite messy and Nurul was arriving. 

     

    Finally, the results came in from Agama Sri Pantai, and as we expected, it was 3992 against 5823 reducing our margin to slightly more than 1800. After recounting it twice, we were quite happy as with that results, Nurul has unofficially won, provided my maths has not failed me and that the figures given to me were accurate. With a constituency of more than 70,000 ppl, winning by 1800+ votes is quite small. I remember thinking to myself, how much crap i will be in if my calculations were wrong. We informed Nurul about the results and she reminded us that it is not over until the fat lady sings. Shortly after, we received news that TV3 and other government controlled media announced that Nurul has unofficially lost by 1800+ votes. Immediately the panic button triggered in the room and everyone started panicking. 

     

    just before we received the news

    
    
    We immediately started looking for all the Form 14s from all the salurans from all the schools, a total of 120 of them and started cross checking and recounting. We had to ensure that we collected all the form 14s as that will be used as evidence in an event of any dispute. News about the FRU being deployed and teargas being fired outside the school didnt help to calm anyone in the room.
    
    By this time, Nurul was already outside, talking to various groups of people and ensuring that everyone is calm and patient about the results despite being nervous herself. 
    After slightly more than an hour, with the help of many volunteers, we managed to collect all 120 forms and we completed our final recount. 
    
    
    
    Nurul has unofficially won with 31,008 against 29,161 with a margin of 1,847 votes!! Various ones started sharing the news across all social media platforms and we could hear the crowd outside the school cheering away! by this time, RNC's supporters slowly left the site and RNC was no where to be seen. We proceeded to the main Dewan to wait for the official announcement. By this time, Nurul had a smile on her face and started to relaxed a bit more as different ones started congratulating her. She kept repeating the same line, "it's not over until the fat lady sings". What a tough lady, going through such intense pressure and stress and yet putting up a brave front! 
    
    

    Ambiga and her daughter dropped by

    
    
    Nearing to the end, everyone was anticipating the final announcement from SPR. 
    
    
    Final results projected on the screens and it was a 100% match to our calculations! 
    
    
    At about 12,15am, SPR finally announced that Nurul Izzah Anwar has successfully defended her seat at Lembah Pantai! 
    
    
    Yes there were many stories on extra ballot boxes, unauthorized recounting, firing of teargas and fights with the FRU. Let me assure you that once you are in the final tallying center, it does not matter how many ballot boxes are there. The final count is derived by compiling the Form 14 from each Saluran, of which both parties and the SPR are required to sign. Ballot boxes are sealed and brought in as a formality. Recounting is only allowed in the respective Salurans of the schools, not at the final tallying centers. And this is only allowed if the margin of the saluran is less than 4%. IF we were actually required to recount in the tallying center, it would have been crazy, as we will need to recount up to 60,000 votes!!! No teargas was fired nor were there any confrontation with the FRU. Hence, please, do not spread stories which have not been verified, find out more and understand the election process and do not cause unnecessary distress among the people! I received countless of SMSs asking bout the extra mysterious boxes. Nothing of such at Lembah Pantai, at least. 
    
    It was a remarkable experience and definitely one that i will not forget in the near future. It's amazing to see so many people working behind the scenes to ensure that everything was in place. Few of them were running around for the past 20 hours with no rest and minimum food, all to ensure that we get every vote counted from the voting stations to the tallying center! People from all walks of life, regardless of age and race, came together without any form of payments or incentives, to ensure that we do our best for Nurul to defend her seat. That, defines 1 Malaysia better than any of the multi million dollar campaigns around.
    
    
    
    Dubbed the "princess of reformation", the "giant slayer" and "humble servant"; it was an honor to be able to be part of this event. I wish you success in Lembah Pantai and may you continue to serve the people with dignity, honor and love. 
    
    Thousands of agents and volunteers were deployed all around the country to help out with GE13, in the next GE, find out how you can also play your part for a better Malaysia!

    The main reason why I started this petition was primarily against the ad agency themselves. Because of my own background in advertising and marketing, and realising how unethical so many of these companies are, I wanted to hit back at corporate Malaysia.

    I received this from a friend who lives in France, and she mentioned that someone had written this on a Facebook thread:
    "trop fort le boycott de l'agence de pub... depuis le temps que j'attendais un moment pareil... et c'est de malaisie qu'il est venu! Parce que c'est bien gentil de dire "c'est pas moi, c'est le client qui veut", mais il faudra bien un jour que les agences prennent leur responsabilité!"

    The translation is: "This is a fantastic boycott of an advertising agency. I have been waiting for this moment since forever. And it came from Malaysia! It's easy to say "it's not my fault, it is the client who wanted that", but one day, ad agencies will have to be held responsible for their actions!

    So thank you all and hopefully Rapp Malaysia and Naga DDB will be held accountable for their actions.This will hopefully deter corporate Malaysia from ever producing misleading and fear-mongering ads in the future.

    Thank you for your support and I will keep you posted if I hear back from any of the above-mentioned.

    Happy voting and let's hope for a free and fair elections.

    Salam Bersih!

  • Very deep and thought provoking video...

    May 01, 13

    As the General Elections come in just a FEW DAYS.
    A really great informercial? Sermon? Released by the People's Alliance, talks about the plight of the people at stake, and how the issues have barely if at all been solved.
    
    I have suffered myself too, I find it amazing that some can just get things done without much effort at all. Everything to buy is so expensive. Unreasonably high duties are charged.
    
    Warning: You'll get emotional. Get tissues ready. Also, this video may eventually get blocked as part of the strategy mentioned in the video as well. So if you have trouble watching, do leave a message in the post comments. Thank you.

  • Dirty Election Tactics in Offshore Election?

    Apr 29, 13

    From a malaysian in London, Lau Ben Hong
    
    Went to Malaysian High Commission in London to postal vote. Cast my vote for state and parliament for P106 PJ Utara but was extremely dissatisfied!
    
    My state vote ballot slip had a full stop printed at the end of Lau Weng San-DAP. Parliament vote ballot slip was absent of peculiarities. As a result, I questioned the staff and asked them to provide me with another state ballot slip.
    
    They said they had no extra slips on hand and that all they had was what they received from Election Commission. I strongly questioned them why no extra slips were provided in the case of peculiarities and stained votes. They did not answer my question! Instead they told me that my other option was to courier it back on my own!
    
    I argued that a different delivery option DOES NOT make a difference if the voting slip was defective! Even if I fly back, it won't make a difference! Will the commission pay for my ticket?! NO!
    
    They failed to assure me that my state voting slip was not defective. The officer said I have a choice, either vote or leave the premises! I said, if no extra slip was provided, what option did I have other than to believe that the slip was not defective and cast my vote!
    
    Than the officer told me to speak to my representative outside of the commission. "Who is my representative outside?" Nonsense!
    
    What really pissed me off was when the officer said
    
    "Just follow the majority!".
    
    "What majority? !", I snapped back! The fact that he can make such a comment implies a hell lot of things!
    
    Cast my state vote hoping that it was valid but at least I gave them hell for their incompetence!
    
    Outside commission, I voiced my dissatisfaction with Bersih and they video recorded it to help convince more people back home to vote.
    
    I can only hope and pray that my vote will be counted and will not be tampered! For the people in Malaysia, please vote and if the integrity of your slip is undermined, GIVE THEM HELL to provide you with a new slip because they have NO DAMN GOOD EXCUSE not to have extra slips available in the homeland! We should not be cheated of our rights to make a valid vote!
    
    Our country will be doomed beyond recovery if we allow these CORRUPTED, HYPOCRITICAL, and EVIL MONSTERS to rule our beloved country! Our future generations deserve nothing but the best we can provide! So let us all vote for change!

  • LATEST updated tips to vote!

    Apr 29, 13

    ONE WEEK TO MALAYSIA GENERAL ELECTION!!

    YOU MUST READ!

    
    

    I am writing this email becos of the many things you must be aware of before you go to the polling center. I 'll try my best to list them down here. 1. Be at the polling center real early, as I m suspecting that there may be a long queue due to the new polling process. Many will be sick of waiting and waste their vote.  Don't be a fool to do that. Polling center opens at 8am till 5pm. If queue is long, hang in there, do not leave even after 5pm once you entered. Polling center gate closes at 5:00pm sharp RTM time. Polling continues till all in queue is done, regardless of time. 2. Check on-line first (http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/semakpru13.aspx) and print out your details before going to the voting center. You may be able to by-pass the Barung counter since you have a printout and know where to go and thus short cut your time. 3. Bring your IC, if you lost your IC, then use the temp IC. If you also lost your temp IC, then you can use your passport. Avoid using passport as we the counting agents will insist you fill up a Borang 11 which will take time, and affects the queue. This time EC allows even Gov't employee tag... hmmm... polling agent will seek verification if sees anyone using that. 4. Make sure your left hand index finger is clean, any makings or stains will caused you to be disallowed to vote. If you got band aid plaster on that finger, they will require you to use the right hand index instead. The default is left hand index finger. No stains allow on either fingers. The polling kerani will mark your left index finger with an ink. 5. Important! The ink will take about 30 second to dry. Bring along a tissue to dry off your finger before holding your ballot papers. Any smudge or stain on the ballot paper will render it spoiled vote. So be extremely careful. Now you understand why you need to be there early. 6. Your ballot paper will have a serial number, but must be clean of any extra marking or words or stains, smudge, pencil/pen marking or dots or TEAR on all the surface of the ballot papers. YOU CAN REJECT THE PIECE OF BALLOT PAPER AND INSIST ON A NEW ONE IF YOU SEE ANY OF THOSE. Do not be intimidated by anyone there as this is your ABSOLUTE RIGHT. 7. Ensure that the kerani that handed you the ballot paper, do not write the serial No. of your ballot papers next to your name on the list. He or she is suppose to just neatly cross out your name on the list. If you see that she wrote something, please raise hell. Make sure she crosses out your name on her list and we will do the same on ours. 8. If in some strange (may happen) event you were told that you have already voted, eventho you have not, and your fingers have no markings, you MUST raise hell. We the polling agents will raise hell too. It means that somebody has voted on your behalf. You will be required to fill forms and etc. Remember, your constitutional right to vote. 9. Do not wear any t-shirt or buttons or hat that is aligned to any of the political parties. You will be ask to remove or disallowed to enter the polling center. 10. When casting your vote, be careful not to make any other marks on the ballot paper. You will be using a pen instead of the usual pencil. So if you make a mistake and it is accidental, please request for a new ballot paper. They have 10% extra papers to cater for this sort of things. 11. Fold the ballot paper neatly in half checking to see that all is in order before proceeding to the ballot boxes. Here, we will have 2 ballot boxes for Parliament and State. 12. At the ballot boxes, SHOW and put the ballot paper into their corresponding box. Stand there to ensure that the kerani push your vote into the box. Please do not have any tissue or other paper in your hands as you may be stopped for search by the Polling agent. We are trained to look out for people who brings  out their blank voting papers to sell. Don't do that, you 'll go to jail. 13. This time, we have 4 candidates for Parliament and 3 candidates for State. Please vote wisely and your vote is your right and it is nobody's business on who you vote for.  It is PnC. 14. I am not aware of any special lane for the disabled or elderly. 15. Please send the words out to all your foreign friends or employees to avoid being seen near or around all polling centers. They may put themselves in harms way. This is actually a warning to all of them that I got in the internet. Especially those who somehow got blue IC. Please do read again what I have written and feel free to forward to all your friends, make sure that everyone goes to vote. Every vote counts. This election is most crucial and super dirty. Thank you.

  • What the Chinese in PAS Kelantan -very few know the actual situation

    Apr 28, 13

    
    Date: Sun, Apr 28, 2013 at 10:49 PM
    
    

    An old article but worth your time to read.
    

    
    
    

    Worth checking this out with your Kelantanese brothers....,
    

    
    

     

    What the Chinese view in PAS Kelantan -very few know the

    actual situation PAS-led Kelantan: Let's hear it from the Chinese
    
    
    In Kelantan's politics, one name towers above all, Nik
    Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, affectionately known as Tok Guru Nik
    Aziz. What is the secret to this man's almost cult-like
    appeal to Kelantan folks? Let's hear it from the Chinese
    in Kelantan.
    
     Kelantan's political history is as enigmatic as itself.
     Having had the distinction of being the first state to be
     won by an opposition party in 1959 when Malaya was still in
    euphoria over Merdeka, PAS ruled it from 1959 to 1977.
    PAS's tenure in Kelantan was briefly interrupted by BN's
    political scheming in 1977 through an emergency that lead to
    a 12 year BN interregnum.
    
    In the 1990 general elections, BN suffered its most
    devastating electoral defeat in history when PAS and its
    erstwhile ally, Semangat 46 swept all the parliamentary and
    state seats in the state. And PAS has ruled the state since
    then.
    
    Having run Kelantan for 40 years, especially since 1990, PAS
    under the leadership of its spiritual leader and Menteri
    Besar Nik Aziz, has consolidated its grip in the state. Nik
    Aziz's popularity with Kelantan folks is due in no small
    part to his clean and upright leadership and willingness to
    live out his religious convictions.
    
    In his 1990 inauguration as the Kelantan MB, his first acts
    were to reduce his official salary by 40 percent, cut down
    on state official entertainment expenses and eschewed
    staying in his official MB residence for his own house. With
    his humble and modest lifestyle, he has won over many
    Kelantan folks' respect and admiration.
    
    Unlike UMNO leaders' willingness to manipulate religion to
    divide and rule the people, Nik Aziz lives out his religious
    convictions while not abusing religion. In his world view
    which is coloured heavily by Islam, racialism is not
    acceptable as he believes everyone originates from a same
    forebear and hence deserves to be treated equally.
    
    Equal treatment for everyone – is that not a dream for all
    Malaysians?
    
    Why PAS is winning hearts
    
    Kelantan has treated its minorities fairly through monetary
    support for their religious places.
    
    Has Kelantan under PAS being so Islamised that non-Muslims
    fear living there? Kelantan Chinese Assembly Hall (KCAH)
    chairman Oie Poh Choon has this to share.
    
    "Once, I attended an official event where Nik Aziz was
    the guest of honour. The attendees included mostly Malays,
    Chinese and 10 Thai monks."
    
    "The Thai monks started to recite Buddhist chants after
    having the meals. Not only did Nik Aziz not stop them, he
    even asked for microphones be provided for them and sat
    through the sessions, in full view of 1000 plus Muslims. He
    has a favourite phrase: 'If PAS has ever forced anyone
    to convert to Islam, please show me the
    proof'."
    
    Contrary to the mainstream media's demonization,
    Kelantan's other religions get equal treatment and
    development opportunities. According to the PAS
    supporters' club (DHPP) chairman, Hu Pang Chaw, KB has
    many non-Muslim religious places such as churches and
    Chinese temples. Among these places are a 450-years old
    temple, a temple that houses a 108-feet Guan Yin statue, and
    a Buddhist temple that houses a 100-feet sleeping Buddha
    statue.
    
    Some of these temples are even built on Malay reserve land. Some temples also received annual grants from the state government. In
    Kelantan, the churches and temples are not subjected to the
    policy restriction of having buildings taller than mosques
    like in some west coast states.
    
    Minority perspective
    
    KCAH chairman Oie Poh Choon opined that the Chinese lead a
    happy tranquil and peaceful life there thanks to the state
    government's fair treatment and righteous
    governance.
    
    "Unlike what the mainstream media's lop-sided portrayal
     of us being side-lined, we lead a happy and pleasant life
     here. We have an exemplary MB. Our living condition here is
     good, which is why we have chosen to remain here. Kelantan
     is a good place to reside in."
    
    He believes that the Kelantan government is like many other
    governments in the world, who takes care of its minorities.
    Besides the many policies that promote fairness, it has
    additional policies that also take care of the
    minorities.
    
    "Kelantan state glimovernment is the first in the country to
     implement the 'land sustains school' policy which was
    followed by the Perak PR state government in 2008.
    Kelantan's only independent Chinese secondary school,
    Chung Hua Independent Secondary School, was allocated 1000
    acres of land by the state government for its usage in 2000.
    Now the school earns around RM 300,000 annually from the
    land rentals."
    
    In addition the school is allocated a RM 20,000 grant
    annually. The Chinese vernacular primary schools are also
    well supported, even by the Malay community.
    
     DHPP's Hu  explained that of the Kelantan's 15
     Chinese vernacular primary schools, only two are wholly
     Chinese populated. The rest have between 20 to 50 percent
     Malay student population. In Kelantan, many Malays take
     pride in learning Chinese.
    
    In my visit to MB Nik Aziz's residence, I met his grand
    children. Five of them could speak Mandarin fluently. Nik
    Aziz even praised them for being able to converse in
    Mandarin and lamented of his inability to do so!
    
    Systematic Allocations
    
     KCAH chairman Oie Poh Choon has praises for the state
     government's fair treatment of the Chinese.
    
    According to Oie, every year the state government will
    allocate RM 1.7 million for the Chinese community here.
    "If we are short of funds, the Chinese state exco, Dato
     Annuar Tan will ask for more from the treasury. Nik Aziz
    will usually approve it."
    
    "RM 1.7 million is not much. However we know that the
     state government has limited revenue. Yet it is able to
     provide funding regularly to the Chinese community. We
     recognise their earnestness, unlike some parties who often
     promised much but don't deliver. With PAS, when the amount
     is announced, the cheque is already prepared."
    
     As for KCAH's youth wing advisor Lau Chit Fang, the
     Kelantan Chinese community doesn't doubt the state
     government's sincerity in taking care of the minorities as
      the non-Malays can't decide Kelantan's political
     fate.
    
    "The Chinese voters are only present significantly in a
    few state seats; we are not politically influential. We
     don't doubt about the state government's sincerity or
     honesty in treating us fairly."
    
    "On the other hand it is UMNO who seems bent on
     wrecking the people's relationship with the state
     government. They go around telling the Malays that PAS is
     selling out to the non-Malays."
    
     "PAS on the other hand has continued to stick to its
     principles in treating everyone fairly. For over 20 years we
     have not felt threatened here," Lau added.
    
     IN HIS WORDS
    
    If PR wins Putrajaya, how will the non-Malays
    benefit?
    
    PR can emulate Kelantan's policy as we don't practise
     racialism here. I emphasise accepting Islam, not converting
     to Islam. Everything in this world is created by Allah.
     We can't say that because a durian's seed has no
     creator. A durian comes from a durian tree. Likewise the
     same too for a human being; he is a descendant of the first
     human beings, Adam and Eve."
    
    Hence, PR can copy us. Have we ever killed any Chinese?
    Have we ever denied anyone from getting license from running
    business just because he is a Chinese?
    
    Will PAS win the next GE?
    
     I believe PAS can do well in the next GE if the elections
     are run fairly. However, we all know PAS don't own any
      radio or TV stations. I have been an MB for 22 years, yet I
     was never invited by any Malaysian TV stations for talks or
     interviews. We also don't have daily newspaper, only a
     twice weekly party newspaper. UMNO knows if we ever get fair
      media coverage, we will be able to counter their lies.
    
     If PR forms the federal government, will it implement the
     hudud laws?
    
     PR's common point is to remove BN's dictatorship. Why is
     Kelantan's development fund being administered by the
    federal departments? As to how much funds have been spent on
    building schools, hospital and roads in Kelantan, we are not
    told. The projects are not even opened for public tendering
     which is unlike PR states.
    
     Kelantan under PR has observed true democracy and voting
     system whereas BN has even resorted to using phantom voters.
     PR's common goal is to remove all these abuse of power. As
     for hudud, it will only be implemented on the Muslims unless
     the non-Muslims request for hudud laws to be extended to
     them.
    
     BN has often said that PAS is being manipulated by DAP and
     vice versa. What is your view of that?
    
     Show me the proof! Its all nonsense.

  • Tian Chua Manhandled Photo is a FAKE!!

    Apr 18, 13

    From the speaker for iBridge Camp 2012 (www.ongohing.com)...
    

    People, if like me you also received an email entitled: “Tian Chua Roughened Up and Manhandled in Sabah: that is why we are voting for PR!”, PLEASE READ THIS CONVERSATION between TC and me: 

    GKP: “Can you verify that this was what happened at KK Airport, please? Goh”
    TC: “It’s a fake – maybe a parody.” 

    GKP: “Thank you. I thought so. The other side may use this fake doctored picture against you. Better if you put out a short statement that you were turned back but not this way.”
    I believe the main picture was real enough to be sure but from another incident involving Tian and, in this case, was superimposed onto another setting (that of the airport tarmac and as though taken by a passenger from inside the plane). 

    For sure many, like myself, have been understandably outraged by TC’s denial of entrance into Sabah, on top of the many other countless incidents of clear heavy-handedness of the enforcement authorities on non-UMNO-BN political personages including those who are elected representatives with orders from their higher-ups. 

    But this particular picture was doctored completely without TC’s involvement or knowledge. People, we have more than enough reasons why we cannot vote for the sitting government at federal level and in states where they govern. WE DON’T NEED TO INVENT anything else. These people have done enough on their own to disqualify them from being given any further extension or opportunity to lord it over us …
    Postscript: If we could be fooled by this doctored photograph and mistake it for the real thing, then we can imagine how many more people were and could be fooled by doctored pictures and videos manufactured by the other side to smear their political rivals.

  • No such thing as a "Christian company"!

    Apr 18, 13

    
    
    Found this from my Work Life Balance e-mail...
    
    

    When I first became a Christian and left AT&T shortly thereafter, nothing would have pleased me more than to go to work for a "Christian" company. How cool would it be to have Bible study and prayer right there in the office...I mean even on "company time"! Imagine. No gossip, no back biting, no office politics. No guys running around on their wives...how awesome would that be. We could have time off to go on retreats and mission trips. The company could give money to support the poor and homeless when the church wanted to help them. It would be awesome. 

    But wait a minute. Church isn't even like that. How could I expect a "for profit" enterprise to be what a church isn't? Where in the world did I get this idea? It comes from our "built in" longing for heaven. We innately yearn for Eden, where we worked yet enjoyed it. Where there wasn't strife, pain, or office politics. God's perfect will was lived out unsullied. We wouldn't even mind work if it was in an environment like that, would we?
    But there is no such environment here. And there is no such thing as a "Christian" company. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but it's true. There are companies that are owned by Christians. There are companies who try their hardest to operate on Christian principles. But there is no such thing as a "Christian" company. Let me explain. 

    Corporations are legal entities set up to limit the liability of their owners. That's it. There will be no companies in heaven. Companies don't have "souls." Companies can't get "saved" or even "burn in hell," although I wish that were possible for some that I've dealt with. The best you can hope for is to find an organization that is led by a committed Christian person. If he/she is empowered to create a "Christian-friendly" environment, then you might enjoy some of what I described above...freedom to openly discuss and express your faith, Bible study or prayer opportunities, company-backed charity efforts and a respectful and caring environment. 

    But here's a challenge for you...will you make it your goal to create a "Christian-friendly" environment in your workplace, regardless of the faith of your superiors? Will you affirm the other Christians in your sphere of influence? Will you "go public" and let others at your work know of your faith? Couldn't you start a prayer group that meets before work? Will you take the lead to reach out to the poor, hurting and needy in your community by stirring up your coworkers to get involved and help? Will you do all you can to demonstrate love and acceptance to everyone you work with, whether or not you agree with their faith, politics or lifestyle? Will you, in an unashamed but non-confrontational way, let people know once and for all where you stand regarding Jesus Christ? 

    You can create your own "Christian-friendly" organization within your company. Ask God to "expand your territory" and bring others into your circle. Make "letting your light shine before men" be your mantra. That environment might not have been created for you, but you might have the ability to create it for yourself and those under your charge or influence. 

    You can't work for a "Christian company," but you can work in a Christian-friendly environment, even if you have to create it!

  • Changing for the better.

    Apr 08, 13

    Following the dissolution of parliament to pave the way for the 2013 general election on Wednesday, we received an open letter from DAP Secretary General Lim Guan Eng, in which he addresses the Malaysian electorate. We reproduce it below in full:
    
    'To All Malaysians Who Believe That Malaysia Deserves Better,

    
    As we count down towards this ground-breaking 13th General Election, you can play a significant role in changing the course of our country’s history. By simply daring to change, you bring a brighter future for a Malaysia free from fear, free from ignorance and free from corruption.
    
    This historic general election will be about the economy and which party has the correct policies, ideas, ideals and principles to make our livelihood better.
    
    Malaysia is caught in a middle-income trap. Many find it hard to believe that in 1966 Malaysia’s GDP per capita of USD350 was ahead of South Korea’s USD130. Almost fifty years later, Malaysia has improved to USD9,977 whilst South Korea jumped ahead of Malaysia to USD22,424.
    
    Since March 2008, a 2-party system gives us both a choice but also make our choices count. Countries that were once less developed than us like South Korea and Taiwan have transformed into high-income economies while we remain stuck in the middle-income trap.
    
    In 1963, Malaysians were richer than the Koreans and Taiwanese, with a per capita income of 13.6% relative to US income, whereas Korea and Taiwan per capita incomes were both lower at 10.7% and 12.6% respectively. 50 years later today, Malaysia is way behind being only half as rich as Korea and Taiwan.
    
    There are 3 critical success factors namely a functioning democracy, fighting corruption and building human talents. Bad governments that fail to deliver are replaced through democratic elections by good governments resulting in progressive reforms and improvements. Corrupt leaders are replaced by those with integrity. And the country’s prosperity is underpinned by building and retraining human talent.
    
    The greatest gift that a good government can bestow to our future generation is not cash handouts but knowledge, education, a just system with integrity and equal opportunity. Only then can we live with dignity and our young live better than us.
    
    In contrast to these two countries, Malaysia is No.1 in the world in terms of illegal capital flight per capita, with a loss of RM 32,000 for every Malaysian, which is more than even China with a loss of RM6,400 per capita during the same period of time. No wonder then, that our national debt has doubled from RM267 billion in 2007 to over RM502 billion today, five years later.
    
    To top it off, Malaysia has been running a budget deficit for 15 years in a row. The last time Malaysia recorded a surplus was when Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim was Deputy Prime Minister. It is imperative that he be elected as Prime Minister to put Malaysia back in the black.
    
    By learning from South Korea’s three critical success factors, we can arrest Malaysia’s graceful decline. Pakatan Rakyat has proven that we can run a clean, accountable and transparent state governments. We have overturned deficits into surpluses, reduced our state debts, increased our assets and reserves, and managed to save billions of public funds through open competitive tenders. More importantly, we have channelled our savings to the people through our people-centric social programmes. With your help and support, we can do the same for Malaysia.
    I also wish to assure you that policies which will benefit the people will not bankrupt our country – only corruption will. Our promises in our Pakatan Rakyat Manifesto amounting to RM46 billion can easily be funded by an “anti-corruption dividend” of 25% from the RM206 billion worth of annual government procurements and projects. 25% amounts to RM51 billion in savings that we can potentially reap, which is more than enough to pay for our promises.
    Let us move forward to an international and intelligent state – one that educates and nurtures talent; one that promotes and rewards diligence, expertise and entrepreneurship; one that is liveable by being clean, green, safe and healthy; and one that practices integrity, justice and people-centric governance.
    
    The only progress is change. Only when you have the courage to change, then can you live with dignity. The time has come for us to connect with each other as Malaysian brothers and sisters.
    
    Where your problems be it Malay, Chinese Indian, Kadazan or Iban are our problems. Where your leaders, are our leaders. And where your children, are also our children. And where your hopes are our aspirations.
    
    We do not want to fear the government but the government to fear us. Join us in giving hope to you and the young.
    
    Let us connect with each other so that we can face the challenges of the future together. In preparing for the future, let us not let BN steal our children’s future as they have stolen ours for the last 56 years. This time!
    
    Malaysia Deserves Better!

  • Parental settings in Android Gingerbread.

    Mar 27, 13

    Hi,
    
    Some weeks ago at church, the pastor spoke about fleeing the temptations of the Internet, and one of the points he highlighted was to set parental settings of downloadable apps on their children's mobile devices. For Android, it is the Google Play store settings. So I have made a couple of screenshots with my GingerDX, and here they are...
    
    

    First, go into the Settings in the Google Play and go into Content Filtering.

    Then check those three boxes or uncheck the bottom two boxes like that and press OK.

    After everything, give the phone back to your child or yourself! Enjoy the safe browsing! :-)

    
    

    For Internet access you might like to take a look at some accountability software: -

    • X3Watch -- Apparently made by a reformed pimp who now runs a special church targeting that vulnerable group.
    • Accountable2You -- Another monitoring solution.

    These monitoring solutions will monitor each and every Internet activity, highlighting offences of browsing into unsafe sites, and sending the reports via e-mail to the accountability nominees, be it parents, bosses, or close great trustable friends.

  • Internet Use Disorder (IUD)...

    Mar 26, 13

    * Is Internet Addiction A Mental Illness Or Social Problem ???
    

    
    Mira is just an year old; with the latest smart phones and gaming consoles available in the market, her parents devote less time to taking care of her and more time to pplaying video games online or socializing with friends on Facebook. There are times when Mia’s parents forget that they have a daughter who is in need of their care. They feed her only once a day; on multiple occasions they have even forgotten to feed her. One day when Mia’s mother walked into her daughter’s room, she found the little girl had died. Do you think this is just a story? If yes then maybe you ought to think again. A 3-month old child died in South Korea in 2010 when her parents, obsessed with marathon online gaming sessions, fed her only once a day leaving her to die a slow death. This incident is only one of the many negative consequences of internet addiction.
    
    When the Bible of mental disorders – the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM-IV – decided that internet addiction needs to be designated as a serious mental illness in its May 2013 edition, a controversial debate sparked off across the globe. While researchers state the need for more research into the ways and means of accurately diagnosing internet addiction, the American Psychiatric Association is already comparing the symptoms of Internet Use Disorder (IUD) to substance abuse. Psychologists are also pushing for broadening the diagnosis of IUD to include much more than online gaming addictions.
    Web addiction, indeed, affects the white matter of the brain that contains nerve fibres. Researchers have found that excessive internet use does affect the fibres impacting a person’s emotions, self-control, and decision-making abilities. As told to BBC by Dr. Henrietta Bowden-Jones, “white matter abnormalities in the orbito-frontal cortex and other truly significant brain areas are present not only in addictions where substances are involved but also in behavioral ones such as internet addiction”.
    World over, kids obsessed with internet games and social media are slowly and steadily distancing themselves from the real world. Without access to their emails even for a few minutes these children experience frustration, anxiety, depression and irritability. According to psychologists, these are deemed as withdrawal symptoms; the same as those observed in substance abuse. Nearly 70 % of the kids being treated at addiction-treatment clinics in Sydney are unable to focus without their smart phones. They struggle to pry themselves away from their IPads and their tablet computers. Are these the children who will be the leaders of tomorrow? For children in South Korea, sleeping with a smart phone instead of a teddy bear is not a new phenomenon. Nearly 160,000 children between the ages of five and nine are addicted to the internet. In the race to be constantly ‘wired in’, children forget to eat lunch, ignore sports and other physical activities, forgo going to the toilet and end up being nervous and distracted when their smart devices are taken away from them. With digital and web addiction affecting nearly 2.55 million people in South Korea, medical practitioners are calling for the categorization of IUD as a mental illness and they are certainly right in doing so. With children as young as the age of 3 being addicted to the internet and technology, the inclusion of IUD in the DSM – V is justified.
    Internet use needs to be monitored and the youth must learn to balance technology with other activities. When the darker side of internet addiction is exposed through display of violence, tantrums, and outrage then it becomes a serious problem; it can even be termed as a mental illness. In the last couple of years, we have been exposed to situations where the line between addiction and insanity has been blurred. In 2009, a boy in Ohio shot his mother and gravely injured his father when his parents prevented him from playing an online game because they were afraid that he was becoming obsessed with it. He was only a teenager who probably would have been sent to a juvenile home but if the same happens with an adult then he will be tried for manslaughter. If internet addiction is deemed a mental illness and there are no amendments made to the criminal justice system then it’s quite possible that the defendant will be let off on an insanity plea and may be offered a community sentence rather than a jail term. This will prove to be a serious disadvantage of including internet addiction as a mental disorder, especially in a country like the US where guns are freely available on sale in stores such as Wal-Mart. A teenager who is addicted to the internet and at the same time is charged with murder, which is actually premeditated, can plead to insanity as internet-addiction is a mental illness. This means that he could be given only a community sentence; is that fair to the murder victims?
    The inclusion of internet-addiction in the DSM-V could actually be misused. To avoid this, there will need to be reforms and amendments to the existing laws of a country. Only then is it feasible to classify internet addiction as a mental illness.
    Many of us use the internet, especially social media, to stay updated on current news and world stories. Often, we check our emails more than 30 times per hour. Are we all mentally ill patients? When someone tries to pry me away from Facebook or LinkedIn, I get upset but not violent. Am I suffering from a mental illness? As I was randomly searching the Internet, I came across an internet addiction test that includes some very familiar questions: How often do you find that you stay on-line longer than you intended? How often do you neglect household chores to spend more time on-line? How often do you snap, yell, or act annoyed if someone bothers you while you are on-line? I answered ‘frequently’ to these questions. Does this mean I am suffering from a mental illness called internet-use disorder? In such cases that I am sure most of us find resonance with, it becomes imperative to accurately define the conditions and symptoms of IUD.As the debate rages on among researchers, medical practitioners, health officials and the millions of users; we need to understand that only classifying IUD as a mental illness is not enough. We need to amend laws and conduct in-depth research into the symptoms and extent of IUD. Once research shows that IUD can indeed be classified as a mental illness and laws are amended to incorporate IUD and its consequences, we must take steps to include IUD in the DSM – V. Technology and the internet is taking over our lives rapidly and we need to control them before everything is destroyed – humanity, emotions, and societal structure.
