Najib flew over Jerusalem, but Bibi Nethanyahu had to fly around Malaysia to get to Sydney


by Ganesh Sahathevan

It has been previously reported on this blog that Malaysia's PM Najib probably sought special permission to fly over Jerusalem en-route Turkey .

The records below, derived from 9M-NAA's squawk code ,shows that on at least three occasions 
in 2016, Najib and his 9M-NAA flew over Jerusalem enroute Malta,Germany and Turkey ,despite Malaysia not having diplomatic relations with Israel, and despite an avowed opposition to anything Jewish.

Najib could have easily flown over any part of the Middle East, but it seems that self preservation might have prevailed in these instances.

This was obviously a very special arrangement , given that just two days ago, Israeli PM Benjamin Bibi Nethanyahu was forced to fly around Malaysia and Indonesia to get to Sydney,adding about 2 to 3hours to flight time.



As previously noted, Najib's  9M-NAA is a military aircraft, so what special requests did Malaysia make of Israel to enable  use of airspace,and did the arrangements include Israel Air Force and Israel Defence Force air and ground cover?  And now that we know Malaysia would not extend the same courtesy to the Israeli PM, why was this special request even made?

Sydney is not Soweto, its Asian migrants are not coloureds, or persons of colour - South African Australian Judge Angus Morkel Stewart's decision in Faruqi v Hanson an insult to anyone who is not white

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan  In the recent Federal Court Australia decision in   Faruqi v Hanson   Mr Justice Angus Morkel Stewart (Stewart J)  found at [242]: I am comfortably satisfied that both groups of people in Australia that I have identified, being persons of colour who are migrants or of relatively recent migrant heritage and persons of colour who are Muslim, are reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to have been offended (ie profoundly and seriously), insulted, humiliated and intimidated by Senator (Pauline ) Hanson’s tweet. The case concerned   a tweet  that One Nation leader Pauline Hanson directed at  Deputy Greens leader Senator  Mehreen Faruqi. Mehreen is Pakistani Muslim who continues to advocate for Pakistan as a senator of the Senate, Parliament Of Australia.  Senator Hanson wrote in her tweet "piss off back to Pakistan" after Senator Faruqi commented on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. While Stewart J's has hand...

Ex NSW LPAB Executive Officer Louise Pritchard ,subject of queries from The Australian, hired by Sydney University since early 2019 -NSW LPAB has never explained her departure, UYSD the reasons for her appointment

Image
  by Ganesh Sahathevan  In January 2019 The Australian reported:  The body overseen by Chief Justice Tom Bathurst responsible for deciding who can practise law in NSW relied on a wildly defamatory Malaysian blog depicting ABC journalists, former British prime minister Tony Blair, financier George Soros and others as part of a global conspiracy when deciding to deny a would-be solicitor a certificate to practise. Chief Justice Bathurst and Legal Practitioner Admission Board executive officer Louise Pritchard declined to answer The Australian’s questions about how the article came into the board’s hands and why its members felt the conspiracy-laden material could be relied upon as part of a decision to deny Sydney man Ganesh Sahathevan admission as a lawyer. Nor would either say which of the 10 members of the LPAB, three of whom are serving NSW Supreme Court judges, was on the deciding panel. Ms Pritchard has left her role at the LPAB since The Australian began making inqui...

Strata managers' aversion to contact with tenants can leave strata managers exposed to personal liability

Image
 by Ganesh Sahathevan      Advice for living in, or buying into, a strata community Strata managers are employed to manage strata schemes which are often home to renters as well as owners. However, in evasion of that which they are paid to do there are instances where strata managers have attempted  to evade their duties by refusing to  deal with tenants.   Even this writer can recall an instance where the strata manager warned that it was against the law for tenants to contact him directly.  The instances where strata managers have refused to deal with tenants occur when the issues raised concern fairly pedestrian maintenance issues, for example blocked plumbing and the like. Having said that, tenants do actually have a legal right to a great many things, including being informed (and presumably make representations) when strata schemes consider re-development. Strata managers who seek to stand in place of strata committees  are even more e...
