Brought to you by the Malaysian Social Research Institute (MSRI) http://www.msri.org.my Note: This news is so new that MSRI website admins haven’t yet replaced their notifiation of the previous (Dec 2009) Film festival with news of this latest (Dec 2010) one!

I was lucky to attend some of the films last year. They were great

I advise everyone to go along. Learn something real, something about real people, real suffering, real need for help and support, real life, instead of all this Hollywood kinda trash.

This blog isn’t for politics, but I will always make one exception: for the Palestinian people.

Image from: http://muadzseekinglight.blogspot.com/2008/08/remembrances-of-al-quds-day-prologue.html

We, with our relatively luxurious lives, cannot comprehend the sheer horror most Palestinians are forced to bear for most of their tear filled lives. As a human being, I simply cannot accept the crushing oppression lashed out upon them. Hence I will use this single post to continually display events organised to help the desparate plight of the Palestinian people.

Thanks be to God, Malaysia has a very active group of Medical Doctors, Care Workers, Health care, Social care, Lecturers and many, many other Professionals, including simple and consciencious individuals doing whatever they can.

You too can help! Get involved, go along, join the boycotts, show support or even just help spread the word. Everything counts! Really, it does!

May God bless you.

Boycott Israel activities in Malaysia. All we ask is you wear the Boycott Israel t-shirt for the day (or until it’s too sweaty and you need to change – lol). If you already have one, then great. If not you need to buy one, sorry the t-shirts are not free this time, (price below) but the money raised will help COMPLETE do more anti-Zionist work in the future. You can PRE-ORDER them from me and I’ll tell COMPLETE to bring you one on the day, whereupon you can pay for it there. The front of the t-shirt says Boycott Israel and on the back are four brands that actively support the Zionist regime that’s responsible for the crushing oppression on the Palestinian people.  The purpose is may Malaysians aware they activities as consumers is helping spill Palestinian blood. There may be a one or two other activities later. We have already booked the bowling lanes in Sunway. So First come first serve. Just leave a message here that you want to attend.

All volunteers to meet at Sunway Pyramid & then proceed to lunch at an eatery of our choice. At 12.45 pm to meet at bowling alley

2. Bowling Competition
We’ll be forming at least 10 teams with 4 players per team. This means we’ll need 40 bowlers. Don’t worry if you can’t bowl. You’ll be among familiar company cos many of us can’t bowl to save our lives. It’s all in the name of humanity with lots of fun thrown in. You can form your own team if you so wish. Otherwise we’ll be allocating team members. COMPLETE will bear all costs. All you need to bring will be a pair of socks. And yes, there’ll be prizes for the winning teams. So those interested do email me your names by 4th November.

3. Ice skating
Anyone out there with dreams of being an ice skating champ? Well here’s your chance. We’re looking for at least 20 skaters. Again, COMPLETE will bear the costs.

4. Jalan Jalan
For those who are neither bowlers nor skaters, we have use for you, don’t fret. You will be our flag bearers. Now all you need are good walking shoes, cos apparently the mall’s HUGE. So do take your time, window shopping, or maybe actually shopping. Lepak here & lepak there, don’t forget the cineplex. Or stop by at J.CO & you could catch Mike.

EVENT (bulletin) 5: Multimedia Palestine presentation challenge.

Posted by: intechemistry on: Feb 11 2010

UPDATE: I have made the soundtrack and have planned the accompanying sections and visuals, and have a helper to assist in the production of the presentation. Thanks to all for your interest. When it’s ready I think I’ll post it here. The soundtrack took ages to edit, but the result is absolutely fantastic.

This post is not related to academic matters, but to the issue of Palestine and really, it’s aimed at the Juniors: ALM10, ALG13 and ALED7 (as well as any ATU/AUSMAT) students, however if the senior year students wish to do it – ONLY IF IT WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH THEIR PREPARATION FOR THE TRIAL EXAMS AND FINAL EXAMS – then they are welcome. Likewise, if junior students want to do it they should only commit if it will not interfere with their studies.

Actually the challenge is open to anyone, but it’s mostly students that come here, hence my specific mention of them.

Task: To prepare 2 multimedia presentations (flash or whatever popular/common format) about the Palestine issue and supporting artwork (An A2 poster, which can also be printed in A4 size with no problems. It is for the Viva Palestina Malaysia’s official Launching on March 3rd). You can go to the main Viva Palestina website to get a flavour of VP artwork if you wish. The presentations will be shown to local MP’s, foreign MP’s and ambassadors (and maybe ex-PM’s like Dr Mahathir)

Presentation 1) should be a between 10-12 minutes long.
Presentation 2) should be between 5-7 minutes long.

The longer presentation can use elements of the shorter presentation if desired.

I have a large archive of documentaries etc which can be used if necessary.

The presentations should focus on the injustices and crimes suffered by the Palestinians including the theft of their land as well as giving some kind of reference to the horrific attacks they have suffered. Anti-Jewish content is definitely NOT wanted, however anti-Zionist content is welcomed. You will therefore need to understand the difference. (I plan to give a presentation to students on Zionism and it’s history in the near future).

It should be as creative as possible but not too weird/arty as there is a message to get across here.  Be prepared to show me the work and (worst case scenario) for me to tell you to change most of it – should it not be suitable. I will need to see a draught copy at least 10 days before 3rd March.

There should also be mention of the companies Viva Palestina Malaysia has a current campaign calling for a consumer boycott thereof. Products and Companies = Nestle, L’Oreal, Coca-Cola and McDonalds. If you go to the COMPLETE Malaysia website you can get more details on this. http://completemalaysia.com/ {Note website was down early morning of 14th Jan 2010}.

Remember if you want to do this, you must make sure it does not cause a problem for your studies. I.E. You should think about how much leisure time you have.

What will you get out of it? first and foremost you will get what ever comes out of doing good deeds. Secondly your work will be shown to respected dignitaries, thirdly a fee for doing it. Your fee (which I will pay you) will be RM 500. You may work as an individual or as a group. I will accept the fee from a maximum of two groups (each group must fulfil the requirements above and produce word independent of one another)
