One sweet afternoon about 1 month ago, I had a nice lunch in a restaurant with my wife. While waiting for the food to arrive, I grabbed an interesting looking Times magazine which was displayed in one corner of a large wooden cabinet. The issues posted on the cover of that Times magazine triggered me. I’ve forgotten the actual title but the message was “Bloggers against government of China“. It was a Times issue that was published in 2006. The government of China has felt the heat and challenge from the growing numbers of bloggers in that nation. The freedom to speak and to voice out opinion via blogging suddenly became something that the government cannot ignore. I did not read the entire article because my lunch meal had arrived. However, the message that I learned was, the growing number of bloggers worried the government of China. The bloggers which can be anybody became more and more brave to voice out almost anything. Remember, that happen in 2006 and it had already open their leaders eye, and made the Times magazine featuring a special issue on that matter.

Is blogger a threat to society? community?

So, what is it now or what does that have to do with us here in Malaysia? I strongly believe almost 95% or more of the visitors to this blog is a blogger, no matter what platform you blog with, either from a self hosted blog, a free wordpress.com or blogspot.com blog, a facebook blog which is gaining popularity now, micro-blogging twitter or so on. Each and everyday, the numbers of blog registered and active increases. Our government, with the new slogan, 1Malaysia, realizes the impact driven by the emergence of web 2.0 and how it can influences the overall citizen of Malaysia. It is the sensitive provoking issues which possibly lead to the instability of the country and also lack of integrity in delivering information and news which is of high concern to the government. The bloggers, which now acts like a virtual independent media plays an important role in our political and civic future and that it is important for the truth to be told through responsible reporting.

Published on an internet news site, these guidelines are based on the US-based Society of Professional Journalists’ code of ethics for bloggers. A small selection follows.

Bloggers should:

• Be honest and fair in gathering, reporting and interpreting information

• Never plagiarise

• Identify and link to sources whenever feasible

• Never publish information they know is inaccurate – and if publishing questionable information, make it clear it’s in doubt

• Distinguish between advocacy, commentary and factual information

• Admit mistakes and correct them promptly

• Show good taste. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity

• Explain each blog’s mission and invite dialogue with the public over its content and the bloggers’ conduct

• Disclose conflicts of interest, affiliations, activities and personal agendas

• Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others

I find such standards critical to developing a respectful and productive dialogue, and will endeavour to adhere to them as best as I can. What are your thoughts on this code? Are there any best practices that you can think of that have not been included?

Zamrin also touches a little on code of ethic for bloggers.

Is this a scam? Why will Google ask this particular of information from us? They are smart enough. They are the internet King now.

I didn’t reply to this email. I checked with Azwan and he said he never received such thing too from his gmail account. Anybody received the same email before?

Ops, it has been a while since I updated this blog. So, instead of creating several posts, I’m combining several updates.

1. New refrigerator – Sharp SJPT71R

Just bought a new refrigerator. Reason of buying new one: Older refrigerator is not stable anymore. Sometimes it is cold and sometimes not cold. Sometimes it is very very cold. The older refrigerator is of Electrolux which we have been using for the past 8 years.

The new refrigerator is Sharp SJPT71R is very spacious and has digital temperature display in front of it. The average energy consumption is 683 kwH

2. New stove cabinet

At the same time the stove cabinet is already very old does not fit the sophisticated look next to the brand new fridge. So, we bought a new stove cabinet which cost RM139. Luckily we have the spacious Proton Exora, so we can straight away carry the cabinet stove into our MPV and because of that the price was slashed to RM129. Isn’t that great?

3. New digital camera

My younger brother borrowed our Nikon digital camera for his noble activities. At the same time, I was planning to get myself a new digital camera that is small and handy. I love snapping photos especially foods, candid and scenery. Yesterday, I decided to just buy a digital camera at Jusco Taman Universiti. After a lot of thinking and comparing (a) Super Panasonic Lumix water proof and shock proof digital camera and (b) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS42, I finally chose the latter.

It cost me RM549 + the LCD protective layer RM29. The black coloured body of the Lumix DMC-FS42 (also available in silver) is a 10 MP camera and I received 2Gb memory car, a cool black magnetic cover and a mini tripod.

4. New IM adventure

This is interesting because I’m soon coming out with my own digital product. I am happy and excited with this fact. In addition to that, I have another 2 projects in the line and those 2 products are expected to be released early next year. Just wait for my new digital information product. I’ll announce it later.

5. New birthday girl

It’s my daughter’s birthday. Alya is 4 years old and she’s amazingly a very easy going girl and the most social kid among her older sister and older brother. She wanted a baby doll that can produce sound and she got one yesterday. We are going to celebrate her birthday in a short while after wards.

6. New movie – 2012

We watch 2012 the movie on the very first day when it was launched. It’s a very good movie and I enjoyed in very much. This time, there were 5 of us watching the movie at TGV Jusco Tebrau City, and that include myself, my wife, my mother, my brothers Adi and Arif. It cost us RM61 all together. For me, I personally think that the movie is better than Transformers 2.

I’m venturing into a new off-line business. I’m trying my luck venturing in homestay business and partnered with a colleague from work. We are in the process of setting up a new homestay in Johor Bahru. Yes, you can call it JB homestay. So, if you happen to visit Johor Bahru for any reason and need accommodation and don’t fell like staying in a hotel, feel free to contact me. The homestay is a better alternative for family of 3 to 6 or even up to 8 because getting 2 to 3 hotel rooms will be far more expansive.

Homestay Mutiara, the name given, is a 2 storey corner lot house and have 3 bedrooms and newly furnished. It will be openeed at the end of July. The prices are reasonable and it is strategically located. For more information, feel free to visit jb-homestay.blogspot.com.

Anwar Ibrahim, the PKR advisor successfully won the Permatang Pauh election with a gigantic majority. Check on the following news adopted from various sources…

**********************************

BUKIT MERTAJAM: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) memenangi pilihan raya kecil Parlimen Permatang Pauh apabila calonnya, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, dengan majoriti undi 15,671 mengalahkan calon Barisan Nasional (BN), Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah dan Hanafi Mamat daripada Angkatan Keadilan Insan Malaysia (Akim).

Anwar memperoleh 31,195 undi, Arif Shah yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) Seberang Jaya dengan 15,524 undi, manakala Hanafi yang juga Presiden Akim hanya memperoleh 92 undi, sekali gus hilang wang pertaruhan.

Keputusan diumumkan Pegawai Pengurus Pilihan Raya, Roslan Yahaya di pusat penjumlahan undi di Dewan Aminuddin Baki, Institut Perguruan Tuanku Bainun, Mengkuang, pada jam 10.12 malam.

Sebaik keputusan diumumkan, ia disusuli dengan sorakan kira-kira 500 penyokong PKR di dalam dewan manakala kira-kira 20,000 di padang berhampiran yang berkumpul sejak jam 5 petang.

Sebanyak 65 peratus daripada 58,459 pengundi berdaftar, termasuk pengundi pos menunaikan tanggungjawab dengan mengundi di 25 pusat mengundi yang dibuka mulai jam 8 pagi hingga 5 petang.

Bagaimanapun, keadaan cuaca yang hujan pada tengah hari merencatkan pengundi keluar mengundi apabila kebanyakan jalan utama ke semua 25 pusat mengundi, dilaporkan sesak teruk.

Beberapa insiden membabitkan kekecohan penyokong pembangkang juga dilaporkan berlaku, termasuk kereta yang dinaiki Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak dibaling dengan botol ketika meninjau pusat mengundi, pada sebelah tengah hari.

Pilihan raya kecil itu diadakan berikutan Presiden PKR, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Ismail melepaskan jawatan sebagai Ahli Parlimen yang diwakilinya sejak 1999 bagi memberi laluan kepada suaminya, Anwar bertanding semula di kerusi yang disandang sejak 1982.

Pada pilihan raya umum 8 Mac lalu, Wan Azizah menang buat kali kedua berturut-turut menewaskan calon BN, Datuk Pirdaus Ismail dengan majoriti 13,888.

Wan Azizah memperoleh 30,338 undi, manakala Pirdaus mendapat 16,950 undi. Peratusan mengundi bagi kawasan Parlimen itu pada pilihan raya lalu ialah 81.87 peratus.

Pada pilihan raya umum 2004 pula, BN kalah dengan majoriti 590 undi.

Tiga DUN dalam Parlimen terbabit adalah Seberang Jaya yang diwakili Arif Shah sebagai Adun dan mempunyai sembilan daerah mengundi, sembilan di kawasan DUN Permatang Pasir dan 10 di DUN Penanti.

Sementara itu, Arif Shah ketika ditemui pemberita berkata, beliau akan tetap berkhidmat kepada pengundi di Permatang Pauh meskipun keputusan pilihan raya kecil tidak memihak kepadanya.

Beliau berkata, pendiriannya tetap sama iaitu membela nasib rakyat berbilang kaum di kawasan parlimen itu.

Update pukul 2015 Hrs (27 Ogos 2008):

Keputusan Tak Rasmi Pilihanraya Umum Permatang Pauh menunjukkan yang Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) telah memenanginya. Kita tunggu keputusan rasmi nanti.

**********************************

Tadi pagi telah berlangsung penamaan calon bagi pilihanraya kecil Permatang Pauh (P44). Yang menariknya, ianya adalah pertandingan 3 penjuru! Ada pulak calon ketiga yang bertanding dan saya pun tak pernah dengar nama pemimpin parti yang ke-3. Adakah ini satu strategi politik untuk memecahkan undi? Wallahua’lam… Yang penting, biarlah parti yang benar-benar ikhlas menang dalam pertandingan ini. Kes liwat DSAI (Anwar Ibrahim) pun mungkin adalah sebahagian daripada strategi pihak tertentu kalau ianya adalah kes fitnah. Tetapi Saiful jambu telah pun bersumpah bahawa beliau benar-benar diliwat oleh Anwar Ibrahim!!!

Keputusan Pilihanraya Kecil Permatang Pauh akan dikemas kini setelah pilihanraya selesai. The result of the election will be announce as soon as the voting is over.

I just watched Buletin Utama and saw Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan “bersumpah” at the Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan that he has been sodomized by Anwar Ibrahim. The event was not announced to the media, but as usual, the media noticed the activity and went to the mosque. It happened just now at about 6pm.

Nearly an hour after the “angkat sumpah” events, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan made a press statement and explains why he has done it. He also explained clearly that he understand the consequences of making the oath.

Now that he has made a very strong move action to stress that he has been sodomized by Anwar, if he lies, he will be doomed by God forever! His life will be miserable and only God knows what will happen to those who created such an embarrassing scene like this.

In the other hand, if Saiful was really sodomized, he has done the right thing. I’m not sure whether Anwar Ibrahim will do the same thing in order to show his innocence.

Bottom line, whoever lies, he will be doomed. He’s a big liar, huge liar. Not only me, but the rest of Malaysia want to know the real truth. We want this conspiracy to stop. We want the truth. We want God to show who is the devil. Wallahua’lam…

*****************************

For further information, check on the following news adopted from mSTAR Online.

KUALA LUMPUR: Selepas lebih seminggu kes diliwat disebut di mahkamah, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, bekas pembantu peribadi Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim melakukan sumpah mubahalah di Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan di sini petang ini.

Saiful, 23, memilih hari Jumaat untuk menyempurnakan upacara sumpahnya.

Pada pukul 6.23 petang, Saiful yang berpakaian baju Melayu warna coklat dengan songkok sambil diperhatikan oleh ayahnya, Azlan Mohd Lazim yang berbaju Melayu biru telah melafazkan sumpah.

Turut menyaksikan upacara itu ialah Imam Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan dan bapa saudara Saiful, ‘Uncle Pet.’

Sambil memegang al-Quran, Saiful yang duduk bersila di atas sejadah sambil mengadap kiblat dan diperhatikan bapanya, telah memulakan upacara ‘bermubahalah’ dimulai dengan mengucap dua kalimah Syahadah sebanyak tiga kali dan bacaan Al-Fatihah.

“Bismillahirrahman nirrahim. Pada hari ini, 15 Ogos 2008, saya Mohd Saiful Bukhari Bin Azlan, No Kad Pengenalan 850706-01-5687 dengan ini sesungguhnya dengan nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Penyayang berikrar dan bersumpah seperti berikut….A’uzubilahiminasyaitanirrajim. Bismillahirrahman nirrahim. Wallahi…Wabillahi….Wata’alahi. Saya bersumpah bahawa saya telah diliwat oleh Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pada 26 hb Jun 2008 iaitu pada tarikh tersebut Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim telah memasukkan zakarnya ke dalam lubang dubur saya. Jika saya berdusta, atas pengakuan ini, maka saya berdusta terhadap Allah dan saya sanggup menerima azab, laknat dan kutukan daripada Allah hingga ke kiamat. Wallahualam.”

Sejurus selepas upacara bersumpah itu, Saiful memeluk bapanya, Azlan dan menerima ciuman bapanya di dahi kemudian terus bergegas meninggalkan masjid tanpa memberi peluang kepada pihak wartawan untuk menemuramahnya.

Bapa Saiful memeluknya, sejurus selesai membacakan sumpah ‘mubahalah’.

Anwar mengaku tidak bersalah di Mahkamah Sesyen di sini pada 7 Ogos lalu terhadap tuduhan melakukan seks luar tabii terhadap Saiful pada Jun lepas.

Anwar, 61, dituduh melakukan perbuatan itu terhadap Mohamad Saiful, 23, pada antara 3.01 petang dan 4.30 petang 23 Jun 2008 di unit 1151 Desa Damansara Condominium, No 99, Jalan Setiakasih Bukit Damansara di sini.

Pertuduhan adalah mengikut Seksyen 377B Kanun Keseksaan yang membawa hukuman penjara sehingga 20 tahun dan sebat.

Anwar dibebaskan atas bon peribadi RM20,000.

Kes itu akan disebut semula pada 10 September dan kemungkinan akan dipindahkan ke Mahkamah Tinggi.

Majlis Wilayah Persekutuan terletak berdekatan dengan Kompleks Mahkamah Jalan Duta.

Upacara itu diadakan sehari sebelum Anwar mengemukakan borang pencalonan untuk bertanding dalam pilihan raya kecil kerusi Permatang Pauh.

Tinjauan mendapati sebelum itu Saiful melakukan sumpah, pihak media telah berkumpul sejak selepas Asar tadi setelah diberitahu upacara sumpah ‘mubahalah’ akan dilakukan oleh Saiful.

Sebelum itu, Saiful didapati telah hadir di masjid tersebut sekitar pukul 4.30 petang tadi.

Dalam pukul 5.30 petang tadi, lebih kurang 30 wartawan cuba menyelinap masuk ke dalam Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan untuk melihat apa yang berlaku tetapi telah dihalau oleh pihak keselamatan pada mulanya.

Apabila ditanya kenapa wartawan dihalau, pihak keselamatan berkata itu, adalah arahan pihak atasan.

Bagaimanapun, pihak wartawan berjaya juga memasuki masjid itu.

Difahamkan, Saiful telah ‘disorokkan’ di salah sebuah bilik dalam masjid itu.

Kelihatan dua orang pengawal keselamatan bersama seorang lelaki dan dua orang wanita sedang menunggu di hadapan pintu bilik tersebut yang sementara di hadapan pintu pejabat pentadbiran masjid, kelihatan seorang lelaki yang memakai baju Melayu berwarna ungu sedang berbual-bual dengan pengawal keselamatan.

Juga kelihatan bapa saudara Saiful, yang lebih dikenali dengan nama ‘Uncle Pet’ sedang bercakap dalam telefon bimbitnya dan dari sumber percakapan seperti mengatakan sesuatu tentang mengambil ‘wudhu.’

Sejurus selepas itu, Uncle Pet memberitahu kepada wartawan yang Saiful ada di dalam.

“Dia kat dalam…,” kata Uncle Pet tapi enggan mengulas dengan lebih lanjut.

Cadangan ‘bermubahalah’ ini pertama kali diusulkan oleh Mufti Perlis, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin Julai lalu.

Gesaan ini dibuat untuk meredakan kekalutan yang sedang berlaku sekarang di mana Anwar menghadapi tuduhan meliwat oleh Saiful Bukhari. Ini adalah kali kedua Anwar menghadapi isu dakwaan meliwat. Kali pertama ialah pada tahun 1998.

Menurut Asri, “Kedua-dua mereka (Saiful dan Anwar), baik yang menuduh atau yang dituduh meliwat hendaklah bermubahalah kerana inilah cara yang pernah Nabi buat dulu.”
