“Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as is practiced by people of all colors and races here in this ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad and all the other Prophets of the Holy Scriptures. For the past week, I have been utterly speechless and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.

Out of the ordinary
In late 2001, the people of Argentina took to the streets, driven to despair by the economic chaos into which their leaders had dragged them. Among them was Gustavo Benedetto, a 23-year-old killed on his first ever protest. Naomi Klein reports on the events that triggered a momentous new kind of politics, born of years of military dictatorship and corrupt rule.
SALUT MOHAMED BOUAZIZI
bila aku baca berita tentang kau yang berani
maka aku tunduk segan
bila aku baca berita kau mangkat
gugurlah si ayer mata
tamatlah riwayat kau yang yang pendek
26 kali kau beramadan
26 kali kau bermusim bunga
26 kali musim dingin sampai
tapi hidup kau penuh sengsara
kau membesar dibawah telunjuk leila si first lady
kau belajar
kau berjaya
kau ke universiti
kau berijazah
tapi kau hanya menunggu kerja
seperti beribu ribu anak muda
dengan penuh harapan yang setia
First Lady atau me first.

MEMBACA akhbar tempatan bertarikh 9 Januari 2011, saya lebih memberi fokus kepada satu wawancara oleh pemberita akhbar tempatan yang mewawancara TYT Negeri Sabah yang baru, Datuk Seri Panglima Juhar Mahiruddin.
Saya mengucapkan syabas di atas keberanian dan keikhlasan Juhar apabila diajukan dengan soalan tentang saat-saat yang tidak boleh beliau lupakan semasa menjadi Timbalan Speaker Dewan Rakyat selama Sembilan tahun bermula 1990 sehingga 1999, di bawah pentadbiran era Tun Dr.Mahathir.

Bloody Sunday (Irish: Domhnach na Fola)—sometimes called the Bogside Massacre—was an incident on 30 January 1972 in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland, in which twenty-six unarmed civil rights protesters and bystanders were shot by members of the British Army. The incident occurred during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march; the soldiers involved were the First Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (1 Para). Thirteen males, seven of whom were teenagers, died immediately or soon after, while the death of another man four and a half months later has been attributed to the injuries he received on that day. Two protesters were injured when they were run down by army vehicles. Five of those wounded were shot in the back.

EVERY morning, as I walk down my street I see the same homeless Chinese man sleeping on asphalt. Just around the corner there’s a Malay guy lying on his back, oblivious to the office workers walking by the sidewalk that has become his makeshift bedroom since even before I moved downtown five years ago. I walk a little further and I see a dreadlocked Indian lady getting up at a bus stop to make her way elsewhere.
Come evening time, as I am strolling back home through the neighboring vicinity, I see an Indian man driving a 2010 Jaguar XJ. A minute goes by and my neighbor, Mr Lee passes by me in his classic red Ferrari but only to pull up behind a Brabus that’s parked in front of a swanky Italian restaurant. Mr Lee had to wait for a big shot Malay broad to board the chauffeur-driven car before he could proceed to wherever the party is at.
These are the sort of things I see in the city on a daily basis. As there are poor people of different ethnic backgrounds so are there affluent folks of diverse races. The rich are having their RM400 wine and dine while the hardcore poor and homeless are going through trash to look for empty bottles and cans to trade for money to buy food. A pretty balanced 1Malaysia, I would say.
