OMPH Feastday 2009.....begins on June 19.

Its that time again to " Make Her Known"...yep!...its the OMPH Parish Feastday 2009. The theme this year is " Mary, Mother for All". The celebrations will begin this Friday June 19 at 740pm with Novena prayers. (please enlarge the poster below for the schedule)

Coincidentally on the walls of the church are paintings of Mother Mary which have been there for several years now. I was told it was painted by a young parishoner while waiting for his results.

It depicts the image of Mother Mary, probably as seen through the the eyes of an individual's culture, nationality and perhaps the time in history when ones belief in Her was realised.


All of the images reflect the same theme, that of a baby appearing comfortable and secure in the arms of its mother... irrespective of its background... a "Mother for All"

cheers!

Sign Up - Perakeans Voice your Conscience - with 1 million signatures.

Pakatan Wanita has launched a signature campaign to collect 1 million signatures calling to dissolve the Perak State Assembly.

They have titled their campaign as " Suara Hati Rakyat Perak" and are targeting for 1 million signatures by 1 week from today. After which they will submit a memo with the the signatures to Sultan Azlan Shah.

To help jump start their campaign i have taken the initiative and posted their "Signature Form" below. Whoever is reading this can now print this form (A4 size), collect the signatures and then present it to your nearest DAP, Keadilan or PAS service centres ( they are the Pakatan Rakyat ...remember)

Don't think twice. Just Do It. This is the best way for the rakyat to express their desires. Hopefully the campaign will way exceed the million target.

The campaign is the idea of Ampang MP Hjh Zuraidah 2 days ago.

Yep.. she was detained outside the Perak building on May 7

This afternoon she held the launch at Keadilan's Hulu Kinta Service Centre in Tanjung Rambutan, Ipoh ( pls click to enlarge photo)

... together with Wanita PAS's Norlida and Wanita DAP from B. Mertajam, Chong Eng.

..as with all PR functions the atmosphere was multi racial, casual and easy going

..the heavy rain too didn't dampen the mood...


..even this 'garang' speaker Chan Ming Kai who 'contributed' his part during the "assembly" on May 7 could bring laughter to the gathering.

So all you readers...please sign up for a better tomorrow...for 1Perak.....

cheers!

Heard on Chandan Hill ... (2)

..."as the head of state at state level and head of the country at national level , the ruler plays a role in upholding stability and justice, and strengthening solidarity and unity"

..."the presence of the ruler helps in enhancing the effectiveness of the check and balance mechanism, thus strengthening the institutions of the legislature, executive and judiciary that have been created in the country, lifting the level of public confidence in the system of government and system of nationhood based on democratic practices, and the doctrine of division of power"

Village Chiefs Protest their Termination

Didn't i say that Zambry's team couldn't do anything right. This time they dismissed all 817 'Ketua Kampung' or Village Chiefs throughout the state without giving any reason why.It was effective April 16. Well these ketua's know their rights. They were ELECTED not APPOINTED and they have appointment letters from the state government that is valid for 2 years from August 2008 till July 2010.

They held a gathering last week at the Jelapang community hall and guess who was the speaker...yep...AGS10...Nizar.....actually i was surprised they got the hall knowing that these 'public' places are off limits to the PR team.....

..all the 817 chiefs attended...full attendance...imagine how cheesed off they must be...and these are grass root quality voters.....i don't think they cared which political party they were affiliated to this time...they knew their democratic right...they were elected by the community ...and they had a right to the position... furthermore no justifiable explanations were given for their termination...but then that is the usual BN work ethic..shove it....

..a nice view huh!!! a full house......

..i think this time BN has gone a tad too far....cos these chiefs are planning to sue Zambry's team and ignore his termination letter...they've even got a 6 point proposal....



..which ( see the hands in the air) has been unanimously agreed by all present.

...see below....its ALL HANDS UP....(btw the chiefs are shouting 'SETUJU')....it looks like solidarity against the BN to me....

..i'll say it again..they can't do anything right....."in trying to justify its validity" Zambry and his gang" keep on tripping over themselves"...it would be easier if they just called for fresh elections....

sheesh!!

The May 7 Agenda.......

I received a copy of the agenda for the May 7 Perak State Legislative Assembly....there is only 1 item and that is to terminate the current speaker and appoint a new speaker.

...thats the BN strategy...remove the obstacle...then have a free hand to do as they please with total disregard to the wishes of the Perak rakyat. But that is next Thursday.
Other "drastic" actions taken ahead include.....
1) ..security...the state secretary has taken 'security' measures to "lock down" the state secretariat building (again- second time in 3 mths) from May 6-11 whereby members of the public are not allowed entry for the duration of the assembly.
2)..media coverage is restricted to only 13 media providers...all online news portals (other than tv3, rtm and bernama) and a host of other publications local and international are barred. Uncle Lim has called this 'media restriction' a Fred Flintstone, stone-age mentality. An appropriate description. Whatever happened to all that talk of transparency..."without fear of consequences"(najib april 09) blah3....What on earth are these BN chaps so secretive about.....seems that nothing Zambry does goes down well with us Perakeans any more.
