A Sore Loser....

Remember back in your school days... when you are still a young kid....

Well, I would not categorize all kids into this "sore loser" category, but I think before we learnt or understand the lesson of "sportsmanship", that in any game there are winners and losers and that losers irrespective must display the highest level of acceptance that he/she lost to the better player of the day and one who truly believed that he is still the best but, today is just not the day but, I will still have my day of glory someday.... We as kids would...

Sulk and pout when we lose something.. or when someone out there say, "I dowan fren you already!" We then go running the other side to solicit some friends and support and we turn back to the other side and pull a tongue out or make monkey faces to taunt them as if to say.. "Nah!! You think you are the only fren meh? See I got new fren liao..". Back then, we played what I tell my kids, playground politics... yeah, we learnt politics a long long time ago!

Then as we grow older, we learn that we must be more "gentleman" in facing a loss or defeat. Sometimes being a sport is something that we inculcate into ourselves over a period of time. But we still play the playground politics but we have taken it a notch further. The playground is now the office where the speed you climb the ladder and the fat bonusses depend greatly on how one play the game.. Well, I am not saying every office is of the same, but in many offices we see the game being played at ALL levels and all times... but still, we go back to the playground politics that we have mastered since young as and when we face rejection or setback from your so called backers, you tend to rant and sulk over the other end of the divide hoping to curry for some support... well these things happen.. I do not deny that these sort of events do play out in front of my own eyes sometimes in my very own department!

So, lets take it a few levels higher, beyond the upper management and boardroom ...to the high offices of our country, this game is still being played but then the stake rises to astronomical value. At the pinnacle of it is the outright power to rule Malaysia for the next 5 years. With it comes many many perks....

Now, I do not want to talk about who will rule the country but rather my fixation at a sore loser at the game of playground politics.

Remember when Zaid tendered his resignation, Abdullah told him to take two weeks leave and to that he replied that "I am not tired. I am disappointed." That statement encapsulates Zaid's disillusion with the hopelessness of the current administration in instituting the reforms mooted by the PM. Zaid went on to heap adulations but gave a damning verdict on the cabinet and probably singling himself out as a liability to the PM's efforts. But what did Pak Lah Say? "He can say whatever he wants." (Sorry I can't find the article but it was what I heard on Bernama TV the other night)

Then, when SAPP announced their decision to come out of BN... Pak Lah called them "nuisance" I mean, sure... SAPP has been a pain in the neck... but it would have been better for BN to sack them wouldn't it? That would keep your dignity that you ditch them.. rather than they ditch you... After all you have given them a show cause and they have dutifully replied but you have kept them in cold storage since... I think they deserve to evaluate their position and resign, which they did. So, for me, I guess, the best is to accept their resignation and move on. Is there any need to snitch at them?

Sounds pretty much like a sore loser... ain't it? Where is the dignified gentlemanly conduct of a man who sits at the highest office in the land yet displaying the very characteristics of a sore loser of a game played by kids?

Update! more of sore loser statements!

Abdullah also brushed aside calls made by Mubarak's - association of ex-BN MPs and state assemblypersons - for him to quit immediately.

"It does not matter, let Mubarak say whatever, they are pensioners already," he said.

Gosh... coming out of a PM... first he said, Let Zaid say whatever he wants... Let Anwar say whatever he wants.. Let Mubarak say whatever they want... Next he will say, Let everyone do whatever they want...??????

This toupee-d fler make me laugh...

MIC has suddenly found the need to be heard again... but what spills out of this fler's mouth really is exquisite JOKE.

He said that the new campaign methods employed in the Permatang Pauh by election is effective. Well, I think it is.... effective in losing more votes for the Barisan. Bravo Sami.

The new election campaign techniques were adopted in an attempt to woo back Indian voters after MIC's catastrophic performance during the March 8 national polls, which even saw Samy Vellu being ousted from his Sungai Siput parliamentary stronghold of nearly three decades.

Led by president, MIC campaign workers in Permatang Pauh went from door to door and among others, distributed groceries to the poor.

Wonder of wonders... money politics!!! Sometimes I wonder if its new campaign tactics at all!? But please dear Samy... please do as you have done.. it is really comforting that after you stealing that piece of land in Bandar Utama which was meant for a Tamil School, you dare say that you are "championing" the Indians.

Thousands of free VCDs of popular movie songs intertwined with political messages were also part of the strategy to lure in the Indian community's support for BN.

Eh... Samy.. did you put up some fake coconut trees as well? To create a more realistic atmosphere? Your people or rather Malaysians are suffering with increased cost of living due to your boss's poor decisions and you think it can be soothed by some free VCD of popular movie songs? Anyway, I am GLAD that you are still heading MIC.... STAY THERE... DON'T RESIGN.. DON'T RETIRE! You hear!?

"BN can help – Umno, MCA and MIC – can help… but it depends on how we dwell with the matters on how to get people to vote for us," he added.

Of course BN can help.... dishing out scrap metal collector's licenses! That must be such a great accomplishment in MIC's "fight" for the Indians.... what pathetic mofos are there in MIC? This is the biggest and best gift MIC can fight for its people... so they must be thankful to Samy for his tireless fight to help the Indians get the licenses... Screw the land that was meant for a school...

The biggest joke is this...

Asked about the controversy regarding the Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Ahmad Ismail's degrading comments describing the Chinese as 'squatters', Samy Vellu refrained from commenting saying that the matter was 'closed'.

"We don't want to give life to matters of this kind… we want to have a united Malaysian nation.

"We don't want to divide ourselves into bits and pieces anymore… I think we have already suffered enough particularly in the last six months after the elections," he said.

Of course... a good lap dog as Samy will do the bidding of his Masters... matter is closed.. everything ok...

United Malaysian nation... MY FOOT!

Then whats the point of having Umno, MCA and MIC? Who are the ones doing the dividing if not Umno, MCA and MIC?

How Much Longer?

How much longer should we as tax paying Malaysians swallow the garbage dished out by this bald headed bugger?
Firstly he defended the ban on Malaysia Today... which by now he would realize that MCMC is helpless in stopping people from accessing MT as RPK reacted faster than they can finish writing the word BAN. Similarly with other websites. They should realize that their efforts are foolhardy and that they are wasting precious tax payers money to undertake such actions.

Based on what he said, it would seem that they can take no other legal action against the pepetrator except to stop people from visiting that website.

Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar said today that the prominent news portal Malaysia Today had been banned because it published "libelous, defamatory and slanderous" content.

MCPX
"I think we don't intend to curtail people's freedom and right to give information and debate," Syed Hamid told reporters.

"But when you publish content that is libelous, defamatory and slanderous to other people I think it is only natural we take action," he said.

He defended blocking access to Malaysia Today that has attacked top leaders, saying it had ignored warnings against publishing "slanderous" articles.

"So many warnings and opportunities have been given and it is not heeded, so I am sure they have exercised their authority well under the law."

If banning is not curtailing then what is? If you feel its libelous, defamatory and slanderous, sue him. Why don't you?

Now comes the second boo boo from the same bald headed fler...

DNA BILL

Opposition members led by Anwar walked out when bald head refused to answer to P. Sivarasa's "goodwill request."

Earlier, in his 75-minute winding-up speech, Syed Hamid said he would take note of all the suggestions made by the MPs in their debates, look at the existing provisions, make the necessary amendments and bring them up at the committee level later.

However, as soon as he completed his speech, R. Sivarasa (PKR-Subang) stood up to ask him whether he would agree that a special select committee be set up to review the Bill.

Syed Hamid did not respond despite much persuasion from opposition MPs like Mahfuz Omar (PAS-Pokok Sena), Tian Chua (PKR-Batu), Azmin Ali (PKR-Gombak), Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) and Fuziah Salleh (PKR-Kuantan).

The bill was subsequently passed and will go through another round of debate and winding up at committee. The contention here was to table it at a select committee which bald head refused to answer.... why the fear? Fear that your own will oppose to the bill at committee stage?

Wanna find out more about what crap our politicians say? Look up here.

Sack Zulkifli Nordin

Just because you represent PEMBELA does not give you the right to say, today I am donning a different hat. You, Zulkifli is an MP for Kulim-Bandar Bahru. There are Malaysians in your constituency and yet, you decided to behave like a rabid ass in calling for people to storm the venue where a civil forum is taking place. On top of that, you represent PKR whose very ideals are equality and yet here you are mouthing words that are synonymous to radicals.

I however take my hats off to IIUM Law Lecturer, Dr Mehrun Siraj who said, "Open discussion is the way to discuss the issues between Muslims and non-Muslims. Don't insult Islam."

Here is a lady who believes her religion. Here is a lady who understands her religion so well that she is not worried that she will waver in a discussion with people of other faiths. Here is a lady who believes that she can educate others on the religion she loves, ISLAM.

I also think that the police were far too "lenient" on the protesting group. How can they not arrest them for carrying seditious placards? How come tear gas were not sprayed on these flers? Why is it then that those in a civil forum need to kow-tow and give in to these rowdy buggers? And don't even get me started on the self proclaimed UMNO representative that stormed into the building and called on the Chinese and Indians to go to HELL. To be fair, we have yet to ascertain if he is truly an UMNO member. These are the people that deserves to go to Kamunting.

While I call upon Anwar and PKR will SACK Zulkifli from PKR, although he claimed to be doing it under the banner of PEMBELA, he cannot hide the fact that he is also an elected representative of Malaysians and as an elected representative he has an obligation to his constituents. He should be in Kulim attending to his constituents than to act like a rabid cow in an illegal assembly trying to intimidate those who are in a lawful and civil forum. Tian Chua and Loh, stop apologizing for him... He has to be responsible for his own words and action. Calling for people to "storm the building" is sounding very much like a TERRORIST!

"Back Door" Government?

Chandra Muzaffar. He came in for a lot of flak before GE12 when he spoke out against Anwar and he has come in for another round when he slammed Anwar for trying the "back door" route to Putrajaya. HERE.

Funny he should use the term "back door"

Funny too why he was mute when UMNO held "secret talks" with PAS.

Regardless of what door la.. front door, back door car door, van door or doggie door... can go in good enough wut? Abdullah has given up his right to criticize the way Anwar decides to take power when he admitted to holding talks with PAS to form State Government in Selangor and Perak and also indirectly an offer to PAS to run the country with 2/3 majority and now since he cannot comment on it, he called upon his trustworthy dog to talk... err bark.

Have a good weekend everyone... at least we enter the weekend with the Olympics to look forward to and not the mindless rantings and antics of our politicians.

Soap Opera Malaysia Style

Said Hamid says, "We have nothing to hide!" and HERE

Must be all nice and dandy after Rais sent in the letter telling US to butt out of the matter... Botak may have thought he is safe to come out and say something more..... "credible"

Excerpts:

'He said 96 representatives from foreign embassies and consulates, including the Turkish and American ambassadors, were satisfied with his explanation on the case."

Makes me wonder what did he tell those flers in the meeting and what gives him the impression they are all happy about his explanation? Why would Ms. Rice be making that statement?

An Asean diplomat who also attended the briefing said Syed Hamid assured the envoys that the investigations into the allegations against Anwar were done in accordance with the law.

The diplomat said Syed Hamid also told them that they had a video of how Anwar was treated while in police custody but did not show it to them.

This one baffles me..... read between the lines what the diplomat is saying and what Hamid perceives.

Alas! Condoleeza Rice gave a stinging reminder to those who thought they had "indefatigable evidence" against Anwar that US (the self proclaimed Tai-Kor) that, it is NOT and INTERNAL AFFAIR.

Then... Kuala Lumpur tells Washington... "SHADDAP YOU!"

I wonder if Hamid is going to froth yet again and go off tangent and mutter something incomprehensible like he did on Hardtalk after this round of "everything ok" then "tak ok" situation.

Now I know why he is losing hair..... by the way Hamid.. we still remember the chaotic traffic scenes the last two weeks and we are still not amused by all your stupid statements about the need for DNA. With all these "issues" affecting your credibility.. I suggest, you tender your resignation with immediate effect.

MCA - Obedience is our middle name

No wonder some quarters are calling them Malaysian Chau-Kau Association (running dog - literal translation).... and they lived up to their reputation. HERE.

PETALING JAYA, MCA Youth chief Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the party would view the talks between Umno and PAS from a “very open-minded perspective”.

“We see it as an effort to unite the Malay community. It’s a sign that the party leadership is taking unity as a matter of utmost importance,” he told reporters after launching Pharmaniaga’s Excellent Vendor Awards ceremony here yesterday.

“We all want unity, we all want harmony and stronger cooperation for the benefit of the rakyat,” he said.

When they are needed to make a statement to do the bidding of their political masters, you can count on MCA and MIC to do it with excellence. This time round Liow Tiong Lai came out in defence. But with 50 years of 2/3 majority, I would take that as harmony and strong co-operation.... what have we got to show for it?

While BN has been criticising PR in their effort to get MPs from Sabah and Sarawak to hop border on treason. Jumping to PR means denying the fact that these MPs stood on BN's ticket and thus has betrayed the voters choice.. blah.. blah... blah.... money involved blah blah blah..

There they go courting PAS promising MB deputy MB and deputy PM 2 position and all and its on the basis of Malay unity. Isnt that corruption at its best? Won't PAS also be betraying their electorate? What the hell are they talking about?

Then and Now

1969 was a black spot in our history. Many stories were told about the origin of the riot. Some pointed it to then Selangor MB, Harun Idris. While the "accepted" version did not implicate Harun as the instigator, nevertheless, today the former MB of Selangor Khir "Perasan Hensum" Toyo tried to stoke more racial based statements... HERE.

Excerpts

He said Umno and PAS could form a synthesis in championing Malay interests in the state which fell into opposition control.

"Unfortunately the influence of Anwar in PAS through the party's secretary-general Kamaruddin Jaafar blocked the initiative."

"As long as Anwar is important in Pakatan Rakyat the muzakarah will not succeed. Anwar does not want to see Malays unite and that is why he formed Pakatan that thrives on the ideals of equality to the extent of elevating other religions on the same par as the primary religion in this country, Islam," he added.

Seditious? In the first place.. Toyo, are you a pure bred Malay? So, anyone who does not think PAS and UMNO should work together are traitors? Does UMNO has the God given rights to be the sole champion of Malays?

Khir said this was proven by the fact that Anwar was being supported by 'extremist' Chinese and Indians via opposition party DAP and the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf).

Just because UMNO wants to work with PAS, PAS is no longer extremist. But, Chinese and Indians who do not support MCA, or MIC are considered extremist. Gosh... where did he put his brain!?

"We must first get rid of the politics of hate, slander and revenge among the Malays. It must begin with the younger generation understanding that a Malay majority is only meaningful if it is used to better the Malays.

Such perversion... no wonder Malaysia under BN all these while cannot progress... your idea is that you need 100% YES MEN only can you progress. Wonder where he learn it from? Only a Malay majority can it be used to better the Malays... Dei! You had 50 years of 2/3.... what happened? Years of NEP.... meaningful? Fruitful? Success? Failure? 50 years!! Well, you do decide.

How do you define...

Personal attacks? Character assasination?

This is what our mis-Information Minister has to say:

Here

Personal attacks would be more about criticising what he likes, his clothes or his face,” Ahmad Shabery told reporters at the Parliament lobby yesterday.

Malaysia's Information Minister

I swear I saw the dribble/ foam at the sides of his mouth the night after the debate.....

It means Fuck You La.. What else?


This is what a racist monkey does....

Youtube

from mobscrib

Watch it and if you believe he did this....

He initially denied... HERE

Then he retracted.... what is he trying to prove? Retraction is true. His first statement was made under duress? Probably caught red handed on video and that is why he was force to admit... BODOH..

What does he meant by he did it but is not what he meant?

Its universal language for FUCK YOU... isnt it? Dung? I mean Bung?

What has our August house mired in? Having racist morons like Bung still sitting in it making a mockery out of it?

A MORON, A LIAR, A RACIST.... you, Bung Mokhtar do not deserve your seat in the Parliament.

This is the sort of news that made me laugh and cry at the same time... laugh, for it was a joke that one cannot differentiate a "pop" and a "pat" sound... laugh because someone thinks he can take Malaysians as bloody fools. Cry.. because we have such characters in our Parliament... Cry because such people can get off without being punished... just because he sits on the right side of the fence.... at the moment.

PM's Word of Wisdom... is it?

Source: Malaysiakini.com

"There is no more regard for statements of truth in law. Little attention is given to (one's) demeanour in life. The sovereignty of the Rulers is turned into an issue," he said.

Abdullah said not all of the people believed in the negative perceptions but it was portrayed that more people had become trapped in that situation.

"Conduct attributed to the truth is not appreciated. What is appreciated is the perception, and along with it the lies.

"Perception negates the truth. The truth is no longer talked about. The important thing is the perception," he said.

Abdullah said perceptions had influenced the attitudes and options of some people in the making of decisions, including those related to investment and business.

He said this must be rectified but, unfortunately, it had become a subject which the people were most interested in, so much so that it had become word of mouth and they resorted to exaggeration.

"The people must be appeased so as not to have any fear of a possible shortage of food. They must be pacified so as not to have any worry over their own safety and that of their families," he said.

Our PM wants to be Socrates or Plato izit?

(from Mobscrib)

Now need to write Dear PM letter pulak.

Dear PM,

Before you lament about the current state of affairs as to why perception is preferred to conduct attributed to truth. Wait, before we proceed, how do you determine that the conduct attributed to truth to be true? While perception of lies to be lies?

People turn to their own instinct actually when it comes to accepting a perception. PM, IF... only IF, you have ensured the judiciary to be independent, the Police to be independent, the Media to be independent, the ACA to be independent. Then it will not lend much credence to a perception. Would it?

IF only you have ensured that PI Bala got the protection as accorded to Saiful, IF only you have not gone on hearsay to put HINDRAF 5 into Kamunting. IF only you have released them after there are no evidence linking them to terrorism. IF only you have ensured that indelible ink was used in the last GE and not retracted at the last minute due to some obscure reports of sabotage. I am sure, perception of your propagated lies will remain as LIES and your conduct of truth will remain as truth.

But alas, it was not to be. You have gone back on every word you have given. You have given the people many reasons to doubt your so called conduct of truth. Hence when the perception of lies can be validated by proof put forth while your conduct of truth remain just a verbal re-assertation, it becomes glaringly clear to many that the conduct of truth that you have been talking all these while has been your PERVERTED TRUTH that you believe in. Its no longer truth in the eyes of the people.

While your crusade against the perception of lies fell flat because of the victims have been able to provide proof to vindicate themselves off the truth you claimed them to be which was indeed nothing more but lies. This is what happens when truth are lies and lies are truth... people will begin to exercise their own judgement hence their perception. While you perceive it to be lies, we hold on to it as the truth till proven otherwise. What you deem as your conduct of truth, meanwhile has been disputed and smashed to smithereens with evidences put forth, thus you will need to build your credibility from scratch and nothing less than a genuine 100% effort to overhaul of the entire system is needed to bring back the credibility to your goodself. Nothing more than ensuring fairness in all decisions will it bring credibility back to your goodself. That reminds me... playing bully earns you 10 DISCREDIT POINTS. (eg. Reducing Federal Budget for Penang).

So dear PM, the decision is yours. Stop living in your cocoon. Come out into real world for once before you attempt another Socrates-sque statement.

Liwat Conspiracy...

"To liwat or not to liwat, that is the question."

To think that BN should come up with such an allegation makes BN really STUPID. Stupid because Dr. M has gone down the road and nearly got his butt whopped, and for them to take the route again must have been stupid because it sets them on the defensive from the onset.

Been thinking about it the whole night and I thought of it this way which my brekkie friend also shared the same idea.... could this be... Anwar's own idea? After all, he wants to participate in a by-election and he needs some publicity which MSMs are not willing to give.. so, why not play on their weaknesses... MSMs will definitely pounce on news that will put him in a bad light. What better than to play on old wound? On top of that, it will send the BN into denial and defensive mode.. would it not?

Seeking refuge in Turkish Embassy? Geez... this is a script taken out of Hollywood movie... a disaster within a disaster.... Why Turkey? Its a model Islamic country and its the country where our PM purportedly had his luxury yacht built.... hmmm... International flavour..

So, this theory has it that Anwar schemed the whole thing! But wait! What about the pictures that was splashed all over the media showing the accuser in serious picture taking mode with the Ministers? Planned months ago?? Does Anwar really have such forsight that Pakatan would come so near to winning the election? Does he really believe that the frogs will be reluctant to jump hence he need to pull out another rabbit out of the hat to hasten the jump? Or was it a premeditated move to send BN scurrying to find answers which was never there in the first place thus depleting their resources in a wild goose chase while buying time for him to continue working on the frogs?

Hence then to Anwar, what is the best case to present that the public will immediately cry foul and to bring the people to his side and cast BN in the light most unwanted? Begs the answer, To liwat or not to liwat.....

Update: Sigh.. write so long... seems this conspiracy theory holds no water... People's Parliament carries this "we know from the start" theory which has more credibility... hehe..

Stained Mattress?

Hey I remembered this was tendered as an evidence in the last sodomy trial of Anwar. Today, I read news that eerily resembles that.. :O!

Malaysiakini carries the following article "Forensic team sweeps luxury condo"

What are they going to come up next? A mattress stained with MAP OF THE WORLD? Maybe Saiful's butt could be tendered as evidence that it has been "abused".

Now back to Saiful, he was seen taking pictures! Yeah.. with Ministers... as well as Najib's special officer Khairil Anas

Rocky's Bru and Sultanmuzaffar have the pictures of the young man who walks the corridors of Putrajaya ... writes Jeff Ooi.

I really wonder if taking pics with VVIPs are that easy..... and what did our DPM gotta say about his ermm... special officer? WTF!!! "When questioned on the existence of a photo of his special officer with Saiful, Najib said it was taken when the 23-year-old came to his office to seek a government scholarship."

WHOA!!!! Apply for scholarship can take pictures with VVIPs!!!! WOW!! I am IMPRESSED! That also scholarship not yet approved... apply only!.... and not that he is an A Grade student.... he fucking dropped OUT!!! Najib.... I thought you should be smarter than make such a statement.

Well, the government may not be at the helm of making this sensational sodomy case, they should then be able to put it to rest? But.. NO? Why then go on with the charade? Police will investigate? Will they be consistent in hunting down the whistleblower?? They hunted RPK right? When he made the sensational Statutory Declaration? They did not hunt down Rosmah right? So... will they hunt down this Saiful for the pittance he is worth or will they hunt down the purported SODOMIZER? Can we see some consistency please? PDRM?

Mat Mat Taib Strikes Again!

UMNO's smartest man with two Muhammad to his name has struck again!

Somewhere in April I wrote this comment on his brilliant take on "level playing field"

Well, he struck again yesterday which made me choked on my lunch when I picked up an odd copy of The Star left by one of the customer at this mamak stall.

He is now sooooo "in touch" with the people that he has concluded that people are now FED UP OF PAKATAN. Interesting he said this:

He said he was confident that the Barisan would take back the opposition states as the rakyat regretted electing a party that had shown nothing in its 100 days in power.

“Barisan had its flaws but we worked for the benefit of the rakyat. What has opposition Pakatan Rakyat done so far?” he added.

Lets see what the Pakatan states have done Matx2.

1. ALL Pakatan states have cut down on their expenditure even before the fuel hike was announced.
2. Penang have embarked on a more transparent administration with open tenders and more open processes via internet.
3. Perak has given out permanent land titles to people that Gerakan and MCA used to beg for an extension.
4. Selangor gave out 20 cubic meters of free water.
5. Selangor has made the state more "religion" friendly.
6. Shoddy land deals that sees millions vanish into the pockets of the well connected have been unearthed.
7. Pakatan MPs have raised various issues to be debated in Parliament only to be prevented by the speaker, BMC-Grand Saga issue, fuel hike, electricity tariff hike etc.
8. Penang has worked hard in trying to woo investors and kudos that they sealed the deal with Ibiden and Honeywell!

Now lets see what BN States have done in the first 100 days.

................... Dei Mat! Care to fill in for me?

Now lets see what the new BN Federal Govt has done...

1. Increase price of rice
2. Increase price of fuel
3. Increase electricity tariff
4. Parking fees in KL on Saturdays and Sundays.
5. Slapping cabinet ministers with a paltry 10% reduction in... ALLOWANCES! While whipping the Rakyat with a 40% hike in fuel and 20% hike in electricity tariff.

With all due respect Mat.... this I would rank as one of another BRILLIANT statement to come out from an Otak Udang. Then again, he was right! What has the opposition done in the Five Pakatan States? I guess here he is referring to BN... Dei Mat.. I give you answer ya... THEY DID NOTHING except trying hard to gain brownie points here and there.... well there you go.

Samy Speaketh AGAIN!

It has been a long time since Samy spoke. Here, here, here, here.

Today, he who wears a toupee has spoken!! Apparently its a squabble again with PPP. I thought he and the KVS has smoked each other's peace pipe?

Not one to wallow in his Sg. Siput defeat! Samy comes out with guns blazing or is it? Titled, MIC Sole Representative of Indians


How thick a skin he must have for him to say that! It is ironic that now he is out of the government, MIC is building schools! MIC is raising funds to refurbish schools! Hmmm... it looks like MIC performs better when they lose in the election. Tell you what, MIC should continue losing to be serving the community... eh?

But, what I want to highlight is this. I really wonder why UMNO, MCA and MIC are still playing the game of CHAMPIONS OF RACE. I thought the PM heard us loud and clear on March 8, 2008. We believed we told him we are sick and tired of their racial games... we are sick of us Malaysians being called Melayu, Cina, India DAN LAIN LAIN. We thought they heard us telling them to stop telling us lies...

Maybe these 3 parties are tuned to the wrong channel. Same Channel Mahathir. Wonder what channel is that... FM MAY13 perhaps.

Toyo spills garb yet again!

Sometimes I wonder if Malaysiakini carry out interviews with political personalities to spice up our lives or to disemminate information to Average Joes like me.

The full text one can get it here. So pleas subscribe to Malaysiakini.

In Malaysia tis the season for finger pointing. Exactly after all catastrophe, you have some smarter than you alecs around pointing their dastardly finger at every other person except themselves for the disaster that hit them. Toyo is no different.

I almost puke with laughter when I read this

Former Selangor Menteri Besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo said he knew it all along that Barisan Nasional (BN) would suffer heavy losses in the March 8 polls, long before the date arrived.In an interview, he revealed how he had learnt of the impending defeat.

Wow.. Toyo, you are now a soothsayer... so you are saying you know you are gonna be screwed? Thats why you spent the night of the election hived in your office shredding those important documents? But you were so arrogant to declare "zero opposition" so you were lying then to keep the confidence up?

However, as the ‘general’ of his ‘army’, he could not disclose his forebodings to his ‘troops’.“I started getting negative feelings when (former Finance Minister and Umno treasurer) Daim Zainuddin said five states would fall to the opposition. As Selangor Umno chief, I couldn’t say it out loud as it would have dampened the spirits of party members,” he said.

Ahhh..there you go... I cant tell otherwise people will lose morale so I must still give a Napoleon type speech even on the eve of the most embarassing defeat.

Khir pointed to the federal government’s arrogance and insensitivity to the needs of the people, even after he had sent up pleas to Umno president and premier Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.“Suggestions were made, but there was no reaction. Point taken, but where were the responses?” he said.

Err... what kind of pleas? And what kind of responses? Hello? Demolishing the temples! You told PM you are gonna do that? You dare say Kampung Berembang is not your doing? Are you saying that when you wanna screw your people you need to seek PM's advise? Why are you making the PM the scapegoat for the defeat? You are as guilty as others for the defeat. You were arrogant! You were boastful! You were downright despicable! That is why you lost!

Okay.. I have gotten the pin off my chest.

Change Lifestyle? Again?

This statement of urging the people to change lifestyle comes as easily from all our elected ministers. I remember once, this Najib asking us to change our lifestyle when petrol price was hiked. Easier said than done. Most Malaysians are down to the bone right now if you ask me. And now comes another statement of Change Lifestyle from our new Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister, Sharir Samad.

I had quite a lot of respect for him..... before this

"Shahrir urged Malaysians to change their eating habits to cut the impact of rising rice prices. "We have to see changes in lifestyle among Malaysians to accommodate this economic situation," he said."

Now, what? Dont eat rice? What else can we eat that its price has not gone up? I feel like everything whether edible or not, the price has risen astronomically! Now if only our leaders have not screwed the country in the past, I think we Malaysians can definitely afford a couple of lifestyle changes.

IF only RM1=SGD1. Get my drift? Thats where we started off right? Today we are 60% poorer than we used to be, so if only... IF ONLY it is still at par, I think we can have a lot of flexibility and excesses in our lifestyle to adjust. Wont we? But NOOOOOO, we are RM2.30 = SGD1!!

Majority are already eating cheap rice. Any cheaper varieties around? Bread? Heck! Its more expensive than rice! Tell me Sharir! What is a cheaper alternative!?
