Tanggal 31,
Bulan 8...57,
Merdeka,Merdeka...
A famous line from the Song Tanggal 31 by Allahyarham Sudirman. But the Question is, is it the real fact?
First of all, before anyone start bashing me and accusing me of being unpatriotic, bear in mind that this is my honest opinion based on simple facts backed by history.
Let us continue, 31 of August 1957 has been recognized as the day Malaysia achieved its independence, but is it? First of all, let me get the fact straight. the date is actually the date Malaya gained its independence from British. It is as simple as that, so, when does the other two component that made up Malaysia achieved its independence then?
Sarawak, for all of us who are still oblivious to the fact started to recognize the real date this year, only after 50 years. 22 of July 1963 is when our state Sarawak achieved its independence. Sabah achieved independence at a later date but clearly it is not on the 31 August as we are led to believe.
Another misconception that needs to be rectify is the status of Sabah and Sarawak in Malaysia. First, Sabah and Sarawak never joined Malaysia. We formed Malaysia together with Malaya and Singapore. Secondly, according to the 20/18 points(read my earlier post) Sabah and Sarawak are sovereign nation in the formation of Malaysia with autononomy given to us in the field of religion,education,immigration and some other stuff(seriously,go read the post..hehe..). However, it seems that those points are mere documents now without being given serious consideration whenever the leaders introduce new policies.
I'm not saying this all just because I have something against Malaysia. NO, in fact far from it. I love Malaysia just as much as the next person. It just irritates me when ignorant fools try to argue without knowing their facts. Get your facts straight or get the hell out....

Of Shia and Syria (Part 2)
The curios case of Syria and Egypt are actually more related than you might think. As i wrote earlier, President Assad of Syria is an alawite shia while President Morsi of Egypt came from the rank of Muslim Brotherhood or Ikhwanul Muslimin. Naturally, Assad would harbour hatred towards Morsi.
As the Assad regime actively battling the insurgents in his country, there are report that suggested Morsi was ousted as the army feared that they will be ordered to breach the border to help the insurgents in their fight against the Syrian army under Assad command. Try looking up on the internet and you will find that the person responsible for this is actually a follower of shia. It is no secret that there are hundreds of sect of shia in the world with different fundamentals and approach towards their obsession with their imams, however one thing they share is their hatreds towards the ahlul sunnah wal jamaah (ASWJ). The word jamaah, for those who did not know, means group or a whole lot, meaning that the majority of Muslims belong to this particular group,while the others are divided to such groups as shia,wahabi,salafi and tareqat. Now, what this means is that, in a country where the person in power is a shia, they will do whatever they can to get rid of ASWJ, this includes but not limited to political assasination, blackmailing, mass genocide, even to the extent of using chemical weapons.
What some of us don't know is the ties between these shias with their hidden allies, Israel and the United States. Have you ever wondered, why Israel and the United States never attack Iran which they accused of housing WMDs? but launched an all out attack on Iraq which later was declared WMD free?

Of Shia and Syria (Part 1)
A friend of mine had requested that I wrote something on the issue of Syria. All the news on violence erupting in Syria. but before we could dive any deeper,it is better for us to understand why this thing happened. But trying to understand the situation in Syria is not as easy as you might think, with over 1000 rebel factions and a regime that is backed by western power brokers make for a very complicated and often confusing case.
Firstly, to clarify, Syria population is mostly Muslim by birth with 74% Sunni while Shia only make up 13% of the whole population(some,including myself however, believed that Shia is another religion not to be associated to Islam). Mr. President himself, Bashar Al-Assad is Shia follower, from the Alawites group. This group features heavily in the administration in Syria explaining the government hatred towards the Muslim brotherhood that is made out of Sunni group.
This part of my writing will deal with the animosity between the Sunni and Shia followers.
A lot of people has been asking me, what is my view on Shia, and I have been saying this everytime, in my opinion, they ARE NOT a sect of Islam. Sunni and Shia diverged at the very core,therefore it is safe to say that Shia is a different religion.
Where Sunni put Allah above everything else, the Shia, in their obsession to the point of extremism in expressing their love to Ali bin Abi Talib gave the title of 'Imam' to Ali and his descendants. These titles are not the same as the title that were attributed to Sunni scholars but are sort of a divine title (which in reality given by the followers,never assumed by the said person, i.e. Ali bin Abi Talib and others).
Shia, according to scholars was founded by Abdullah bin Saba, a jew, a fact denied by Shia followers. the said person was a jew who, converted to Islam but not a true believer or called a munafiq. He(according to western scholar could be more than one person) is also the first to utter ghulat(extremism) and to come up with the idea of the supremacy of Ali above others to the point of being divine. Ali himself tried to execute Abdullah bin Saba but was stopped by Ibnu Abbas and instead exiled him to Madain. From that point however, Shia took off until it become what we know today. Countries such as Iran and Syria are dominated by Shia leaders therefore influencing their stance on other Islamic countries and also Israel.
Iran are the centre of all this. Due to the revolution of Iran and their defiance towards USA, they were once hailed as championing the cause of Islam until recently when their true agenda was unmasked for the whole Islamic world to see.
Fforgive me for my very brief introduction on Shia, for more information on the subject,please do some readings and researches and kindly comment so that we can discuss the topic.
The second part will deal with Syria and what is currently happening there. Assalamualaikum.
