Not proper to question Malay rights, Nik Aziz tells Ong and Karpal Singh
Ah yah, Nik Aziz, I thought so that you are a holy man, but if you break the law of nature, then you are not. In other words, you are a hypocrite and a liar.
Every one has a right to question Malay Rights for when they (Malay Rights) are nature in the world, there are only nature right and not Malay Right.

PASIR PUTEH, SUN:
Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat says it was not proper for the MCA and DAP to question Islamic-oriented Malay rights.He said such rights were provided for in the Federal Constitution, hence they should not be raised.
"But PAS will reject the rights if they are solely for Malay interests,” he told reporters after opening an ice factory, here today.He was responding to the statements by MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting and DAP chairman Karpal Singh that questioned the speech which touched on Malay dominance by Kelantan prince, Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra, at a seminar in Kuala Lumpur on April 12.The two leaders regarded the speech as way out of royal line and trying to drag the monarchy institution into the country’s politics.In relation to the issue, Nik Aziz, who is also PAS’ spiritual leader, said the party could not support Malays who themselves rejected Islamic interests.
"It’s better to be friends with the Chinese and Indian Muslims who are loyal to the religion,” he said.Nik Aziz said the country’s sovereignty must be protected but must be based truly on the struggle for Islam by the Malays.On another matter, Nik Aziz said he hoped the federal government would proceed with the development projects planned before the March 8 general election.These projects include the road construction from Kota Baharu to Kuala Krai as the state government has already approved the land acquisition for the project.However, Nik Aziz hopes the state government will be given the power to appoint more reliable contractors for the projects.

Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra said the Malays were given the special rights and privileges in exchange for granting citizenship to 2.7 million people of other races.
Malay dont have to grant citizenship right to the 2.7 million people of other races for it was the 2.7 million people of other races who gave Malay the chance to be a Malaysian and not Malaya.

KOTA BARU: The Kelantan People's Action Council (MTRK) said statements by certain parties that the speech by the Tengku Mahkota of Kelantan in Kuala Lumpur last week would destroy the unity and harmony among the various races, were extreme and an insult to the royal institution.
Council chairman Datuk Ibrahim Ali said those involved should apologise and called on the police to take take action against them under the Sedition Act, especially MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting and DAP chairman Karpal Singh.Ibrahim, who is also Pasir Mas MP, said the council supported the comments by the Tengku Mahkota when he opened a seminar on Malay unity at the Putra World Trade Centre last Saturday."MTRK appreciates the concern shown by him and for the Malays to unite irrespective of their political affiliations."What was voiced by him was a wake-up call for the Malays and should be received open heartedly," he said after a MTRK council meeting here yesterday.
The Tengku Makhota said the special rights and privileges of Malays were not to be questioned and that it was inappropriate for other races to demand equal privileges just because they had Malaysian citizenship.Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra said the Malays were given the special rights and privileges in exchange for granting citizenship to 2.7 million people of other races.Karpal had criticised the Tengku Mahkota for making political statements that were "on the verge of sedition". "The Tengku Mahkota should have known better than to issue statements with a political flavour," said Karpal."Royalty in the country must stay apolitical. Conventionally, royalty is required to do so," he said, adding that "the tone of the statements of the Tengku Mahkota was an affront to the other races in the country".Ong said the Tengku Mahkota was wrong in saying that it is inappropriate for non-Malays to seek equal rights.He said the various races had worked hard to attain the goals of nation-building for the past 50 years, for which they also contributed to the country's development.As such, they too had equal rights as enshrined in the constitution, he said.Ibrahim said the Tengku Mahkota's speech was not only about the Malays but also on the importance of the Malaysian people.

Abandoned siblings need help
Abandoned siblings need help
By SARBAN SINGH
SEREMBAN: Their parents abandoned them six months ago and now, six children who have been staying in a wooden house smaller than an average classrom at the Paroi New Village near here may soon be homeless.
The oldest, Toh Chee How, 18, said the house would soon be demolished to make way for the Seremban-Kajang highway project.
“We used to pay RM60 in rent previously but when I stopped working six months ago to look after my siblings, the landlord stopped asking for rent.
“But now we have been told that we would have to vacate the house soon,” he said.
The siblings were abandoned by their parents because they could no longer provide for them. The couple now live in the Mambau new village.
Homeless and abandoned: Dr Yeow (right) and Yip (left) with the siblings at their dilapidated home. From left are Yee Ping, five, Chee Lee, seven, Chee Soon, 10, Ee Kwan, 12, and Chee How, 18 (behind). The oldest has been the sole breadwinner for the six.
Chee How said despite their misery, he was not prepared to part with his siblings Chee Kiat, 17, Ee Kwan, 12, Chee Soon, 10, Chee Lee, seven and Yee Ping, five.
“In all, there were 16 of us but my parents had over the years given away 10 of my other siblings. I will not let anyone take my siblings away despite our hardship,” he said during a press conference here.
Chee How used to earn RM400 working as a mechanic but stopped when his parents moved out six months ago.
“When I was working, I used to pay my aunt who lived in the same village RM100 monthly to cook for us.
“I can’t blame her because she needed the money to buy vegetables and rice,” said Chee How who had to stop schooling at Form 2 to work.
He is grateful that his siblings got free meals and other aid such as uniforms and shoes from their school.
Chee How said his father told him that when he earned enough, he would come back to get them.
“I don’t know when will that be. It has been months and this does not look good,” he said.
Their neighbours took the siblings’ plight to state MCA deputy chairman Datuk Dr Yeow Chai Thiam and former Rahang assemblyman Datuk Yip Chee Kiong.
“The MCA will try its best to help the siblings. First, we will try to get them a three room flat so that they could live in a more conducive environment,” he said.
Dr Yeow said Chee How had also told him that he was keen to get his motorcycle license so that he could go out and work.
He said those who wished to help the siblings could contact his assistant Teo Eng Kian at 019 623 8636 .
