"ADUN UMNO, Datuk Ariff Shah Omar Shah menawarkan diri untuk menjadi penasihat kepada golongan transgender dan lelaki lembut selepas DAP membangkitkan isu diskriminasi ke atas golongan lelaki lembut dan transgender. PENULIS sedikit kurang bersetuju kerana Hishamuddin Hussein jauh lebih layak untuk menjadi penaung, penasihat malah Presiden Persatuan Lelaki Lembut sekiranya ditubuhkan. 4 Hujah disertakan. Kui Kui.
Arif Shah pun ada kelebihannya. Kebolehannya berbahasa Cina membolehkan beliau mendekat lelaki lembut dari bangsa Cina dan bukan Melayu sahaja. Kui kui. Tetapi Hishamuddin Aw ada kelebihan:
1. Hishamuddin Lebih Senior
Datuk Seri Hishamuddin lahir pada 5 Ogos 1961 dan pernah menjadi Menteri Pelajaran sejak tahun 2004.
Dalam UMNO dan kerajaan Malaysia, biasanya jawatan akan diberi mengikut senioriti. Memandangkan Hishamuddin memegang jawatan yang lebih tinggi. adalah lebih wajar jawatan ini diserahkan kepada beliau.
2. Hishamuddin Lebih Lembut.. Keris 2005
Jangan lupa betapa Hishamuddin dengan lembut ala-ala pondannya telah meminta maaf dan menarik balik tindakannya menghunus keris dalam perhimpunan UMNO tahun 2005 dulu.
3. Peristiwa Bunuh dan Pijak Lembu
Hishamuddin sekali lagi menunjukkan sikap pondan jatinya apabila membela sekumpulan lelaki UMNO yang memijak kepala lembu dalam provokasi mereka dengan memberi 4 alasan:
- protestor saiznya sikit saja (dalam 50)
- ini salah kerajaan Selangor
- masyarakat patut dibenarkan bersuara
- peristiwa provokasi lain pernah berlaku sebelum ini
Tindakan pondan Hishamuddin yang tidak berani menegur ahli UMNO ni membuktikan lagi ketokohannya.
4. Isu Arak
Apabila UMNO memainkan isu Zaid yang pernah minum arak, wartawan bertanya Hishamuddin tentang gambar-gambar di Internet tentang seorang lelaki yang mirip mukanya minum arak.
Hishamuddin dengan pondannya tidak berani menafikan..
PENULIS menambah sedikit bahawa Islam jelas tidak menzalimi sesiapa tetapi lelaki dan wanita Islam dilarang daripada menyerupai mereka dari gender yang berbeza.
Maksudnya lelaki ditegah dari pakai skirt atau berperangai seperti wanita dalam Islam. Kepada golongan bukan Islam, urusan korang kitaorang tak campur. Tapi usah jadi seperti Awang Adek yang menggesa judi WORLD CUP dihalalkan. Malu membacanya!

GEORGE TOWN (May 11, 2010): An assemblyman is pressing for the formation of an official committee in Penang to address the plight and stigma faced by the transgender community.
Teh Yee Cheu, the DAP rep for Tanjung Bungah, recently sent a proposal on this to the state Executive Councillor for Youth and Sports, Women, Family and Community Development, Ong Kok Fooi, reasoning that transgender people were discriminated and shunned in society.
It was reported in the Chinese media that Umno assemblyman Datuk Ariff Shah Omar Shah has expressed willingness to act as advisor for such a body.
Ariff Shah's offer came after Teh highlighted the plight of the transgender community at the state assembly on May 5 and 6, eliciting chuckles and jesting among assemblymen from both sides of the political divide.
Ariff Shah then suggested that the community form an association, and volunteered to provide any advice within his means.
At a press conference today, Teh said all assemblymen should be invited to join the committee in an advisory capacity to help "educate" them about the issue.
He said, however, Ong's initial response to his proposal was that such a committee would be difficult to be formed at an official level due to the "sensitivity" involved. Ong could not be reached for comment.
"I don’t think this is a sensitive issue. It’s just a matter of perception," he said, pointing out that the committee would help to educate and raise public awareness of the problems faced by the community.
"The transgender issue is not new in Malaysia," he said, noting that a survey by Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) in 2000 recorded about 50,000 such people in the country.
He said the number should have increased significantly by now and estimated there were now about 10,000 transgender people in Penang.
He also called for Parliament to enact or amend relevant laws to ensure equal treatment for the community.
He said this would help those who have undergone sex-change operations and face problems changing their gender status in official documents like passports and identity cards. -- theSun
