British riots: Asians defend themselves

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 09:37 PM PDT

LONDON: The film about the Malaysian student, identified as Asyraf Haziq Rosli, has alarmed Asians living in Britain, with Muslims and Sikhs even arming themselves against any attack.

The film showing the beating of a young Malaysian student, who was lying on
the road in a near unconscious state as the rioters passed by and was later
lifted by one of the rioters, only to be robbed by another marauding thug, has

been making the rounds on the Internet.

As rioting and looting continued in a number of British cities, many Asians

decided to take into their own hands the defence of their lives, properties and
places of worship, fearing that the overstretched police force may not be able
to respond to the escalating violence and looting.


Three young Muslims, said to be of Pakistani origin, were also killed in
Birmingham, mowed down by a car driven by a rioter.

Angry Pakistani residents gathered outside a Birmingham hospital where the
victims were rushed in an attempt to save their lives. Suspecting that the three

men were intentionally run over and killed, the police arrested a 35-year-old
man and seized his vehicle for forensic examination.

It is believed that the three men were protecting a mosque from hooligans
who went on a looting rampage in the city.

The riots have shattered the confidence of many Asians, many of whom from
the Indian subcontinent have seen their shops and other businesses destroyed by
looters who helped themselves to whatever they could lay their hands on.

Birmingham has, particularly, been the scene of such mass lootings by
rioters who, as one eye-witness told Bernama, "are having a field day grabbing
whatever comes in their way".

"You are not in Karachi or Kabul where this is a daily happening. All this
(arson and looting) is taking place in Birmingham, London and other cities,"
said Rahmat Khan, who saw the "fire of destruction" consume life in Britain.

The scene is quite different, though, in West London's Southall, Britain's
"Little India" which has a huge cluster of Indian and South Asian shops,
businesses, restaurants and places of worship. Southall also has a large
concentration of Sikhs who give the newcomer the impression of being in a city
in the northern Indian state of Punjab.

As if expecting trouble to break out any time in this quaint city with a
strong South Asian flavour, men armed with swords and hockey sticks cordoned off
the "gurdwaras" (temples where Sikhs worship) and guarded them all night.

"We don't like this one bit but do we have a choice?" one young turban-clad
Sikh replied when asked how he felt about taking the law into his own hands.

But not only the young were protecting the gurdwaras in Southall. Even
elderly Sikhs, many of whom seemed to be in their mid or late 80s, stood guard
outside their places of worship.

The situation seemed to escalate as worshippers at one of the largest Sikh
temples on Havelock Road in London summoned young people to come and help.

Indeed, shopkeepers and local residents in other parts of London and other
cities are reportedly organising vigilante groups to protect their property.

The scenes of arson and looting are hardly characteristic of a city like
London which is known for its glamour, finance, the theatre and all the
trappings of a modern society.

The street violence and arson have shocked many Britons, many of whom
witnessing the horrifying images brought into their living rooms by live
television felt that their privacy was being invaded by brutal street gangs with
no respect for law and order.

Critics have also blasted the government for axing public spending and
raising taxes to cut budget deficits; all these have hit the man on the street
who faces a grim economic situation and rising unemployment.

On the other hand, right-wing elements are calling for tough action against
these thugs who have "shamed the nation".

Many predict that if the situation is not immediately controlled, it could
present problems for Prime Minister David Cameroon's continuance in office.

KUALA LUMPUR: The family of Mohd Asyraf Haziq Rossli, who was assaulted and robbed in the London riots on Monday, will be flying to London tonight to visit him.

Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Ahmad Maslan said yesterday Umno had agreed to bear the RM20,000 travel costs of Asyraf's parents, Rossli Harun, 49, and Maznah Abu Mansoor, 47, and his youngest brother, Muhammad Fitri, 8.

"We were greatly affected by Asyraf's ordeal and were compelled to do something to help his family," he said at the Umno headquarters.


Ahmad, the party's information chief, said the family's food, accommodation and other expenses would be borne by the London Umno Club.

Asyraf, 20, a Mara-sponsored accountancy student, underwent corrective surgery at Royal London Hospital in Chelsea at 9pm on Wednesday for a broken jaw.

A group of rioters had punched him before stealing his mobile phone and other valuables.


Maznah said she received a text message from a Wisma Putra official at 5am yesterday that the surgery had gone well.

She said she was relieved and grateful for the assistance offered by Umno.

She said while it was agreed that Asyraf would continue his studies at Kaplan Financial College, the family was still considering whether to bring him home to recuperate. They are expected to leave for London at 10.30pm.


In Kota Kinabalu, Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said the UK govermment had written to the Malaysian High Commission in London to apologise and express regret over the attack on Asyraf.

Malaysian students scheduled to return next month to the United Kingdom after their summer break have been advised to consult the Malaysian authorities here and in the UK on the latest development.

British acting High Commissioner to Malaysia, Ray Kyles, however, said the situation was calmer now.

"We have 16,000 policemen on the streets in London and the situation is under control," he told a news conference, here, adding that students and visitors should stay away from trouble spots.

The new academic year in the UK begins in the middle of next month.

Riots erupted in parts of London and several other cities in the UK following protests over the police's fatal shooting of a man in Tottenham last weekend.

Taliban claims responsibility of Peshawar bolb attacks

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 10:00 PM PDT

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility for Thursday's bomb attacks in Peshawar, Xinhua news agency quoted local Urdu TV channel Ary as saying on Friday.

Two bomb attacks including one suicide bombing hit Peshawar, capital of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in northwest Pakistan, leaving eight people dead and
37 others injured, many of them policemen.


At about 7:00 a.m. local time Thursday, a roadside bomb planted under a
pile of fruits along the street in the Lahori Gate area of Peshawar hit a police

van carrying an estimated 20 police officers to duty places.

Six people including five policemen on the bus and one child were killed

on the spot while 17 other police officers on board were injured.

A few hours later, two female suicide bombers attacked a checkpost
temporarily set up near the first blast site. They first threw a hand grenade,
causing a stampede, before they committed suicide attack.

One suicide bomber, aged between 16 to 17, first blew herself up. The
other, aged at about 45, failed to detonate her suicide jacket and got wounded
in the explosion and later died of the wounds.

The suicide attack killed at least two people and injured over 20 others
including two policemen, said local reports.

Following the two blasts, police also foiled a third bomb attack attempt
at the Matni area of Peshawar by killing a 14-year- old male suicide bomber
together with a driver who was sending him to carry out the suicide attack.

Local reports quoted police sources as saying that Thursday's serial bomb
attacks in Peshawar could be a retaliation for a large-scale search operation
launched by the police Wednesday night at the outskirts of the city, during
which one Taliban leader was arrested. -- BERNAMA

I can take on Aziz anytime: Dr Zul

2010/10/29
By NST team in Gua Musang, Kelantan
news@nst.com.my


GUA MUSANG: Pas' candidate Dr Zulkefli Mohamed remained a good sport over jokes that his stocky frame might tire him fast during the campaign trail.

He said he was used to work long hours when he was a doctor at government hospitals in the past.

"There were times when I had to work over 36 hours on a stretch, then. I think I can keep up with the hectic campaign schedule now," he said.


Dr Zulkefli, 44, will be up against Barisan Nasional's Abdul Aziz Yusoff, 49, in the Galas by-election on Nov 4.

Some segments of political watchers have been heard making comparisons between the two candidates of their physiques.

Such light banter follows an absence of substantive issues to debate since campaigning started on Nov 26.


Dr Zulkefli said he was feeling alright even when there were many places to visit over the past three days.

To keep fit, he said he took a lot of water and sufficient rest.

When a reporter asked about his weight, Dr Zulkefli said: "I do not know. Let us keep it as a secret."


In jest, he said he could take on Aziz in a running or tug-of-war competition.

Sabah Umno reaching the 500,000 mark

Posted: 14 Mar 2011 08:17 PM PDT

Once upon a time, a real history took place and handed down the real lessons out of the events concluded that a small number can defeat a huge number of opponents by the will of Allah taala. Therefore, in the modern institutions and struggle like political institutions, this lessons of history is still relevant and worthy to ponder. In fact, there are many facts to ponder on why the listed numbers of political members do not reflex the true pictures.
The Chief Minister of Sabah, Datuk Musa Aman's recent annoucement of Sabah UMNO success in the recruitment of membership drive does not mean much to me as it seems to suggest it is the result of his leadership.

A leader should be humble and not self glorifying. One's work should be judged by the people and not himself.

I still remember our DPM, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin remark in the opening of the PBS congress in Kota Kinabalu recently where he said "he has done little in the success of the Batu Sapi by election ".

Frankly how many can do that ?

This is the model of leader we must emulate - humble, unassuming and lead by example.

Traits of great leader who make small people feel great.

Afterall, recruitment of new members in any party is the duty and obligation of its leaders.

It is not a competition as it is the quality and not quantity of the effort that count.

We should not trumpet about it.

High membership in any political party does not guarantee success if the party and its leaders do not command the support from its ranks and files as well as leaders from other coalition parties, particularly in the state of Sabah.

Having such a mentality would breed complacency and place the party concerned and BN in a perilous situation.

Sabah UMNO chief, Datuk Musa Aman's annoucement that their membership drive to date has reached 456,000 membership level, the highest among all other states is indeed quite credible.

The first thing that comes to thought is 456,000 is 456,000 until the half million mark is reached which is another 44,000 more to go and this is not a small number.

In the annoucement, last year alone, they only managed to recruit 40,000 new members and has no mention of what this year's result is ?

Has the effort reached been saturated is another question that surfaces in my mind.

My concern however is in any numerical assessment, we must give the picture in its correct perspective and not try to over dramatise or sensationalise it to justify certain motives, personal or otherwise.

And when figures concerning and affecting the outcome of an election, the state and the image of UMNO and Barisan Nasional, we have to be careful and truthful.

The annoucement also gives rise to many questions to be answered.

First, how many of these registered members will actually and eventually vote and vote for BN comes election time?.

Is the annoucement trying to suggest we are growing stronger, there is nothing to worry and we can repeat the big win in the state achieved in the last election ?

The Batu Sapi by election is no doubt the combined efforts in greater and lesser extend of all state BN coalition members.

However, with the bad blood that existed all along with the Chief Minister of Sabah, Datuk Musa Aman and PBS president, Datuk Pairin, with SAPP president, Datuk Yong Teck Lee, the duel was in actual fact a life and dead battle among the subject combatants.

Aided by a predominantly bumi constituency,the vast resources from BN and the ever tireless presence of our DPM, the vast win at Batu Sapi could be an isolated incident.

Removing these factors, or in a diluted extent, the result could be different.

As a rough estimate, Sabah with a population of 2.5 million and say,with a 60% eligible voters, it will work out to have about 1.5 million potential voters.

From the above, the present UMNO membership only represents to about 30% of the total possible voters. Will that be adequate to determine another landslide victory in the coming election ? given the fact there 60 constituencies in the state ? Many in the last encounter encountered sort of narrow escape ? The growing number of unresolved problems faced by the people todate? The discontents of the present leadership among the files and ranks ? How much support the present state leadership since last reappointed, still enjoy is therefore any one's guess.

To me the annoucement seems to be made in conjunction with the coming BN convention in Kuala Lumpur in an effort to influence its outcomes

Chong Wei, Lin Dan on collision course

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 10:32 AM PDT


WEDNESDAY'S sunny weather was replaced by a steady drizzle and a drastic drop in temperature yesterday but Lee Chong Wei and nemesis Lin Dan remained hot and vibrant as they stormed into the World Championships quarter-finals at London's Wembley Arena.

Both faced South Korean opposition -- Chong Wei up against Park Sung Hwan while three-time world champion Lin Dan played Lee Hyun Il -- but the results were predictable.

Top seed Chong Wei beat Sung Hwan 21-10, 21-5 in 29 minutes while Lin Dan took a little longer to send Hyun Il packing 21-16, 21-13, both advancing to the stage in which they were sensationally knocked out in the Paris edition last year.


It was, for Chong Wei, his best performance in three matches.

"I played really well today (yesterday) and I am pleased I didn't allow Sung Hwan to take a grip on the match even once.

"I wanted to be in control from the start and I managed to do that. I employed a slightly more aggressive approach and that made it difficult for Sung Hwan," said the World No 1.


The match had been approached with caution as Sung Hwan had beaten Lin Dan in last year's World Championships.

The shuttles, described as slow, were another reason for the caution as Sung Hwan is a stroke player and Chong Wei didn't want to get dragged into a battle of rallies.

"Sung Hwan can be a difficult opponent and it is always best to prevent him from playing his game. My aggression took him by surprise and he couldn't recover. I could sense that he was losing confidence as the match progressed."


While that might have been the case with the Korean, it certainly wasn't with Chong Wei as he oozed confidence.

"I have to agree that this is perhaps the best I have prepared for the World Championships. It is my sixth World Championships and another reason why I feel good is because I feel this is my best chance to win the title."

Coach Tey Seu Bock said Chong Wei's mobility and game indicated he was approaching peak form.

"This was his best match so far and when he is in this mood, he can be a very difficult opponent. He was confident on court, despite Sung Hwan being a potentially difficult opponent and this was good to see," said Seu Bock.

With Lin Dan being reclusive, attention has been on Chong Wei but Seu Bock cautioned against underestimating the Olympic champion.

"Lin Dan may not look like he is at his best but that will change if he were to face Chong Wei. He always produces something extra against Chong Wei and discounting him can prove very costly."

Lin Dan, who took 37 minutes to beat Hyun Il, described the tie as a "boring affair".

"Hyun Il didn't seem to be in good condition and that made it easy for me. I wasn't really tested but it was still a good workout and I am looking forward to the quarter-finals," said Lin Dan, speaking to China media.

Up next for him in the quarter-finals is either compatriot Du Pengyu or Japan's Sho Sasaki while Chong Wei will play the winner of the tie between giant-killers Kevin Cordon of Guatemala or Pablo Aiban of Spain. Both third round matches were being played late yesterday.

RESULT

SELECTED, Men's singles, 3rd rd: Lee Chong Wei (Mas) bt Park Sung Hwan (Kor) 21-10, 21-5; Lin Dan (Chi) bt Lee Hyun Il (Kor) 21-16, 21-13; Sho Sasaki (Jpn) - [China] Pengyu DU [8]

Captain Obvious to face stiff test in Kranji

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 10:15 AM PDT

ANOTHER highly rated Malaysian galloper is set to tackle Singapore racing on Sunday.

After the success of Speed Baby in the Group 1 Patron's Bowl in June, the highly credentialled Captain Obvious is chasing some Singapore "black type" of his own.


His preparation kicks off on Sunday in the Group 3 S$200,000 (RM520,000) Woodlands Handicap over 1200m.


Now in the care of Steven Burridge — who also prepares Speed Baby — Captain Obvious has come down from Malaysia after winning 10 of his 15 starts.

With a 117 rating, Captain Obvious is the third highest rated galloper on the Malayan Racing Association ratings list behind Rocket Man on 125 and Better Than Ever at 118.


Burridge said Captain Obvious had done enough on the track to indicate a forward showing on the Polytrack yesterday but said the weight he was giving his rivals would be a distinct disadvantage.


Previously prepared in Malaysia by Chong Keng Leong, Captain Obvious will be aimed at some of Singapore's richer upcoming weight-for-age races that include the Group 3 S$200,000 Jumbo Jet Trophy over 1400m on Sept 4, the Group 1 S$500,000 Kranji Mile over 1600m on Oct 2 and the Group 1 S$500,000 Raffles Cup over 1800m on Oct 23.

"This race is a good starting point for him," said Burridge. "While the handicap conditions make it tough for him, the only other option was to be taking on the Kranji Stakes A against Rocket Man a week before the Jumbo Jet.


"The weight-for-age races like the Jumbo Jet, the Kranji Mile and the Raffles Cup are his aim so we can kick him off here and get a guide on him." Saimee Jumaat will have his first ride on Captain Obvious on Sunday but he is only warming the saddle for regular jockey Benny Woodworth who has ridden the gelding in all-bar-one of his 15 starts for nine wins.


"Woodworth was coming down to ride him but he's gone off to Korea to ride in a Jockey's Series and will be away this weekend," said Saimee.

"As a favour to K L Chong — and we go alongway back to the days with Free Spirit —I was asked to ride this horse in some of his work and in his trials.


"He feels like a nice horse. I've ridden him in his three trials.


"His last trial was very good, running 59.6 seconds when I clicked him up in the last bit and his gallop during the week was good.


"Steven has got him as fit as he can on the training track and with his trials but racing is different again." Saimee said he faces a stiff task giving 6.5kg in weight to established sprinter Ca - pablanca and up to 9kg to Merchant and Dictator as-well-as the up-and-coming sprinters like Ato and Rapido Star.


"He is a superstar in Malaysia but we just have to see how he measures up down here against the Singapore horses," s aid Saimee.— STC

RATTAN WEAVERS

Posted: 10 Aug 2011 11:32 AM PDT

2011/08/10
By Sim Bak Heng


A group of women from Labis, Segamat, are keeping the art of basketry alive by making and teaching those interested

THE rattan handicraft is fast becoming a sunset cottage industry.

It is rare to see rattan baskets these days as most products are made of plastic in factories.


Making rattan baskets is time-consuming and in a fast-developing economy like ours, with ample job opportunity in cities, very few people are interested in going into handicraft-making.

However, a group of women from Rancangan Tanah Beliawanis in Labis, Segamat, are helping to keep this handicraft alive by learning to make rattan baskets and organising workshops to teach those interested.

Some samples of their basketry are being put on display in a workshop in the village, and those who want to purchase them will have to place their orders.


Halimah Atan, 58, who makes baskets of different sizes and designs, ventured into the industry in 2004 after she learned the art from Kraftangan Malaysia at Jalan Datin Halimah in Johor Baru.

Today, she has trained some 60 people, but she is not sure how many of her students ended up in the industry after mastering the art.

"When Kraftangan Malaysia showcases new designs, I will attend their courses to pick up what is new," she said.


"Basket-making is a creative industry. Without new designs to cater to the ever-changing needs of the people, it will be difficult to promote the art, sustain the industry, and make a living from it."

Among the types of baskets produced at the workshops are those for fruits or flowers, laundry, hampers, grocery shopping, storing eggs, magazine display and holding umbrellas.

There are also smaller ones like those that are used for Malay weddings.

The time taken to make each rattan product varies from only 20 minutes for an egg basket to two days for a laundry basket.

Price-wise, an egg basket costs only RM2 while the laundry basket is more than RM100.

Of all the products, the most saleable is the hamper basket and the order for it is especially high during festive seasons.

To add value to the products, Halimah will dye some of the rattan to create a contrast when weaving the basket, and this is part of the creative process.

As it is a small industry and Halimah is not able to afford the cost of advertising her products, she makes full use of opportunities to promote them at carnivals, fun fairs and family days.

"I participate in such events for the sake of promoting my handiwork, and not just to make money. After all, these baskets are all hand-made and not produced at factories. That is why we can't cope with big orders," she said.

"But we are delighted to see people coming to our stalls and appreciating our products."

Halimah is assisted by her sister Jamlimah and friend Siti Normah Masdar.

As they are operating from a small and simple workshop with limited facilities, Halimah hopes the government can provide a bigger and more comfortable building to work in for the sake of the industry.

To learn more about rattan handicraft, call Halimah at 07-927 0616.
