So... has the dust settled in Perak?

Anwar cry foul.... here

Disappointed but not surprising.. well.. yeah... the result would go no other way.. with the bench selected by the powers in BN themselves... how would one expect the judiciary to bite the hand that fed them?

BN would claim the courts have made them legal...

Well the charade is over but some glaring issues were raised... I found this article in Malaysiakini rather interesting.. here

Decision on sultan's 'absolute power' unprecedented

Humayun Kabir | May 23, 09 3:39pm

The Court of Appeal judgment giving the sultan absolute power to dismiss the menteri besar is setting a dangerous precedent for a non-elected monarch to dismiss an elected head of state without going through the process of the state legislative assembly, said Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin’s lawyer.

If only the political commentators take a little longer and think a little deeper, the answer to why the BN government is allowing all these to happen is pretty much a simple deduction.. would it not?

After all the years of the old man stifling the Monarchy... today, BN is turning to the very folks that they have been trying to silence to prop them up and keep them in power... why?

Why are they forcing the courts to go against the constitution?

To me, its a straight forward and simple purpose...

See, BN will lose power in the next GE.. or they would perceive they will.. but their warchest runs into billions of ringgit which is most capable of inducing some elected legislators to don the frog suit.... hence, in future, the monarchy and the courts will be called into action again to keep BN in power... how? Just as how they have done it in Perak. Believe me, it will be re-enacted in Malaysia after the 13GE if BN were to lose power and marginal enough for them to buy over some frogs and would go the same route of getting the King to declare that the PM have lost confidence of the majority and have reinstated the leader of Umno back to the seat of power. Just as the Perakians have lost their voice due to the monarchy and judiciary... Malaysians will lose their voice in the same manner a few years from today.

True, that the predecent set is a very dangerous one, but, BN will stop at nothing to keep themselves in power. Pakatan, I hope you all know what you have set yourselves up for in the next GE. Be prepared.... and Malaysians... it has to be ONE voice and by that I do not mean the 1Malaysia that our PM is proposing... its ONE Voice to tell BN.. ENOUGH!... NOW.. GET OUT! convincingly.

D Day for Nizar

Tomorrow, the Appeals Court will hear if Nizar is still the rightful MB of Perak after the illegal MB Mamak manage to get a stay on the High Court decision that ruled in Nizar's favour within 7 hours.. but poor Nizar will have to wait 10 days for his case to be heard.... welcome to Malaysia.

Many Malaysians will be hoping for a miracle tomorrow... whatever it is, Perakians suffer. I however do not hold out such hope.. knowing fully well of the capabilities of our judges... well, I would not generalize, lets just say majority of our judges... learned? Impartial? I reserve my own views on them.... when the former Lord President can't even seem to get it right what would you expect of people in the frame like Auguswine Paul?

Lets have a snap election for Perak! Lets have the frogs stand in their respective constituency under the banner of BN.. since they are BN friendly.... and since they have done so much for BN, BN should use their machinery to help campaign for them! And not shun them like lepers!

Najib must head the whole election task force for BN and not "delegate" it to his deputy. This is because he was the architect of the coup.. therefore, he should face the people and seek their mandate. Zambry... well he can be the kopi boy la for all I care.

Let the people of Perak CHOOSE! and END this madness ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Aiya.. Misquoted again...

Would you believe it?

DPM Muhyidin Yassin calling the Chinese ingrates despite all the money poured in to the community during the Bukit Gantang by-election.

Then today in Malaysiakini he said that the Chinese press had twisted his words... Ya la.. you blardy chinese press do not understand Bahasa Malaysia! HERE and HERE

Okay.. okay.. we do not understand Bahasa Malaysia... so? Government has failed.. why? Because they have instituted that we ALL learn Bahasa Malaysia and pass the subject with at least a credit to get Grade 1 or else if you fail Bahasa Malaysia, you fail the entire exam!

So lets see what he said.

He also denied saying the Chinese were ungrateful in the interview.

"No, no (I didn't say ungrateful). Did you read my Bahasa (Malaysia)? Even (deputy education minister) Wee Ka Siong knows Bahasa.

"In Bahasa, I said 'seolah-olah tak menghargai' (‘They seemed to be unappreciative').

"Tak menghargai" - Not appreciative... ungrateful... about the same to me.


"If you don't understand Bahasa, I can send you to school to understand it," he said.

Wow! He must be pretty mad... baru berapa hari saja jadi Timbalan Perdana Menteri dah nak tunjuk belang....

Then we read this HERE, where the speech was quoted in verbatim.

One of the questions posed to him, reproduced verbatim here was this: “Tetapi bukankah setiap kali pilihan raya kecil, permintaan kaum bukan Melayu dipenuhi, malah di Bukit Gantang walaupun peruntukan RM1juta diberikan tetapi kaum Cina tidak juga menyokong BN?”

Lets see, let me put his reply in layman's english, "Come on la.. everytime by-election, non-Malay request has always been fulfilled ma... even with 1mil instant noodles.. they still won't support us?

Oh.. so only during by-election you fulfil non-Malays requests.. other times you screw them for all they are worth and you expect them to support you... pretty interesting point of view.

His answer, among other things, was this: “Ya, kadang-kadang kita berasa terpedaya juga kerana zahirnya nampak macam ‘ok’, sambutan dengan tepukan gemuruh tetapi mungkin sudah ada tertanam dalam hati iaitu sesuatu tidak mudah hendak berubah, pokoknya masalah isu Perak terutamanya di kalangan masyarakat Cina yang mungkin telah dipengaruhi dengan sentimen simpati kepada Datuk Seri Ir.Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin, kononnya dia ‘dijatuhkan’, lepas itu kononnya dasar memberi pegangan tanah selama 99 tahun dilihat dasar yang menguntungkan.

“Ini yang mungkin menyebabkan sukar BN mendapat sokongan walaupun kita fikir bila mereka hendak sekolah Cina dibantu, kita bantu, sepatutnya mereka membalas budi.

"This is what makes getting support tough for BN, when we think ah.. they need help for their Chinese school, we help.. so.. they should repay back with support ma"

Aiya.. DPM, like that ah.. your help NOT GENUINE.. expect something in return. But difficult la.. Ah Din.. you screw all these while and we have to wait for someone to die before we get something...

“Pada waktu itu, kita pun tidak berharap sokongan kaum Cina akan meningkat 40 peratus dan sebagainya cuma kita berharap ada peningkatan sedikit tetapi apa yang berlaku ia mencatatkan penurunan, macam tidak ada penghargaan terhadap apa yang kita lakukan.”

"Like not showing any gratitude to what we have done for them!" That is my translation... I wonder what other translation is there? Maybe Ah Din must attend english and chinese class to understand the other languages better or rather he take up Bahasa tuition to ensure that he uses more proper words la..

And where did the seolah-olah tidak menghargai thing come about?

Muhyidin, you fit the profile of an Umno member 100%. So, for us to hope for you to change your racist profile... I guess is non-existent. Keep up the good work. I am sure Malaysians will be able to see through you for what you are worth.

And, one more thing Ah Din.. OneMalaysia? Chew on it.

Triple By-Election

Tomorrow... a referendum of sorts will take place at N29, Batang Ai (Sarawak), N25, Bukit Selambau (Kedah) and P59 Bukit Gantang (Perak). Whether enough instant noodles being dished out for BN to wrest the two bukits remain unknown. Whether BN has done enough to keep Batang Ai... well many observers noted that they have.

Certainly the by-elections in Peninsular has robbed Batang Ai off many big guns from campaigning for Jawah Gerang. And that seems to be the gripe that PKR is not serious in Sarawak. My source indicated that BN has air-dropped enough goodies to keep the Ibans with BN this time round but the mood amongst the people are changing.. but just not enough. They are not angry enough to vote a tree stump... thats what he said when I asked him if they are willing to vote anyone aside from the dacing. Maybe that sums up the uphill battle that PKR is pitching in Sarawak.

Back in peninsular, I asked my friend up in Bukit Selambau if the new PM and his feel good announcements have swayed voters. He noted that while some are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, many do not trust him to do the right thing. I guess, the feeling is mutual. He has to do more than just release 13 from ISA and revoke the ban on Harakah and Suara Keadilan to prove his point. Although MSM went on the overdrive to potray Najib as the man for change, his visit to Brickfields, Petaling Street and a chinese newspaper hardly tells you anything except that its a publicity stunt. Malaysians are mature enough not to fall for such skimpy and weak public relations stunts anymore.

My buddy up in Taiping was asking me why did they send the expired old fart up to campaign for BN? And when I asked him if things are going BN's way, he seem to indicate that there are uncertainty in the Malay voters... many seem bought over by BN's Nizar is a DAP stooge story and that tilted the delicate balance for tomorrow.

However, I remain hopeful that Malaysians WILL do the RIGHT THING.

Vote PAKATAN RAKYAT!

My learned Malaysians in Bukit Selambau, Bukit Gantang and Batang Ai. Tomorrow, you bear the hopes of the nation on your shoulders to vote for CHANGE. To vote for a more audible voice in the country. We have done half the work back in March 08... lets continue the change! Malaysia needs to change if it is to exist for our children. Let us work as Malaysians.. let us VOTE as Malaysians... Let us vote PAKATAN RAKYAT!

The Saint we do NOT trust...

The Saint.. who signed the release of 13 ISA detainees.. two of them from Hindraf but yet to see any bayang of them leaving KDC today... news has it that they need to settle the paperwork. Guess, it must be a few volumes of paperwork that need to be settled before they can walk out of KDC (Kamunting Detention Camp).

The Saint with his big big 1Malaysia speech yesterday failed to galvanize the people to trust him.. at least not tonight from Dewan Hock Seng in Kedah where Anwar announced that 6000 PPP frogs are leaping over to PKR after they dissolve 6 divisions and 62 branches... obviously they do not think highly of Najib and his "vision".

Top on the list that defected tonight was PPP's Vice President V Nadarajan... will this swing the momentum over to Pakatan in Bukit Selambau? Or can the old man who will "turun padang" tomorrow add a new twist to the turn.

Maybe the "shocking news" isn't the kind of shock that we were expecting but nevertheless, 6000 is a huge huge number considering the fact that the MSM (Mainstream Media) played the defiance of Kalaivanar and 500 members as if that the whole PKR in Kedah has resigned en-bloc to join BN.

To many who thought that the news is not big... think again... if 500 is such newsworthy item on MSM for so many days... don't you think 6000 deserves more?

We have gotten ourselves... a SAINT!

Upon being sworn in as a PM, he (Najib that is) announced that 13 ISA detainees which include 2 Hindraf leaders to be released... lifted the ban on Harakah and Suara Keadilan as well as announcing that ISA will be reviewed!

"I would like to announce that the government has decided with immediate effect to remove the temporary ban on two news publications, release 13 detainees from ISA detention, and conduct a comprehensive review of the Internal Security Act," he said in his first act after taking office today.

"These decisions are timely as we move to enhance the confidence of our citizens in those entrusted with maintaining peace, law and order," he said.

In one swift sentence, he turn SAINT.

So now... who is the bad guy?

Abdullah of course... he was the mofo that sent the Hindraf flers to ISA... he was the one who instructed Hamit botak to ban the two publications...

Think a bit before we jump into the bandwagon and said Najib is the PM... he is my MAN! ONE MALAYSIA.. wow! Its a new concept and we should embrace it wholeheartedly now.. UMNO is no longer the racist party they were, they are now all encompassing, compassionate and understanding of the whole Malaysian psyche!

Wait... Abdullah knows he is stepping down... he knows that even if he released those Hindraf boys, it won't win him anything.. so, my take is this, Najib needs Abdullah to be the fall guy.. to do all the bad things just before he leaves office, so that when he take over it will look good on him when he undo the tasteless acts done by his predecessor...

But has anything changed? My answer my friends is a vehement NO!

Since March 08, Abdullah is a lame duck PM and with him at the helm for the last one year has been through Najib's grace. Najib has been calling the shots... Hamit Botak is just a pak turut.. so is Abdullah. Whatever being asked to do.. they did it like what all good dogs do... OBEY. So now that Najib has taken power, he smell like rose but trust me, a bunga tahi ayam will never be a rose.. it will forever be bunga tahi ayam.

Sure, it will hoodwink alot of voters in the 3 by-elections.. and it has gotten tougher for PR to deny BN a clean sweep at the by-elections. BN surely is now holding the upper hand as everyone would be so pleased with Najib for saying all the right things.

But before I go, please consider what Param Cumaraswamy noted... I concur with him wholeheartedly.

Param Cumaraswamy, constitutional lawyer/ former UN special rapporteur

Najib's statement calling for the release of the 13 ISA detainees is similar to what Dr Mahathir Mohamad did when he came to power.

He released 22 when he took his oath of office in 1982. In 1987, he used ISA to detain 106 (under Operasi Lalang).

Lets forget what others say and just dwell on this statement for sometime.... Who is behind Najib's ascension? Who has been calling for AAB to step down and let Najib take over.. and who will go down to the grounds to campaign for BN? Eerie similarities? or merely co-incidental?

All these are taken from Malaysiakini.com. HERE.

Lets Go For A Holiday!

Many of us would dream of a lavish holiday... yet to many it is just pipe dream.. lavish.. where one can take the entire family to not one Disneyland but TWO! Having a recon team to "check" out and ensure the itinery is perfect.. Ah... I would love to have one... wouldn't you?

The icing on the cake however, is to have the holidays paid for by the people who dreams of having such holidays... wouldn't you be pissed? Here you are dreaming of one.. yet unable to have one and YET, you are paying some arseholes for one...

State Agency Funded Khir's Disney Tours...

'State agency funded Khir's Disney tours' Syed Jaymal Zahiid | Apr 1, 09 12:18pm

Former Selangor Menteri Besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo along with his family and other state officials spent almost RM1.6 million on two overseas trips which included a tour of Paris and Orlando Disneyland.


The expenditure list included a 2004 visit to the Disneyland Paris and a four-day transit stopover at Dubai.

This was revealed by an inquiry being conducted by the state's Special Select Committee on Competence, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) today.

Among the other revelations on the overseas trip which took place from Dec 17 to 24, 2004 were:

• Joining the trip were Khir's wife Zaharah Kechik, their three children and a maid.
• The official delegation spent a total of RM416,000 for the trip.
• A 'reconnaissance team' which went to make arrangements for the trip spent RM366,000.
• The four-day stopover in Dubai cost the state an additional RM10,000.

All the expenses were covered by state investment arm Perbadanan Nasional Selangor Berhad (PNSB) revealed its chief executive officer Khairiyah Abu Hassan at the inquiry today.

When asked by committee chairperson, Selangor state assembly speaker Teng Chang Kim on the objective of the trip to Morroco and Paris, Khairiyah said the trip to Morroco was an exposure visit to study the architecture in the country.

“We wanted to see the architecture there as they reflected the glory days of the Islamic empire and we had wanted to try and adopt it here in Selangor,” said the PNSB CEO.

Read the Star today on some obscure column... it says RM1mil.. Read The Sun it says RM1.7million front page headlines. Thats the reason why I have stopped reading BN goon's Chun Wai's Star anymore...

Further on, the inquiry revealed that no outcome from the visits... and more importantly, if you are leading a state delegation to Disneyland for a "Study"... don't you think it is only appropriate that you actually have a series of meetings and not bring your entire family for the trip?

What came out of it? ZILCH!

This botox-ed arse just screwed rakyat's money for his family's pleasure!

It is also revealed that for the same purpose, Khir’s entourage spent another RM648,841 of PNSB’s money for a nine-day trip to Honolulu, Hawaii and the Disneyland in Orlando, United States from Dec 23, 2007 to Jan 1, 2008.

Out of the total sum, about RM110,000 were spent on Khir’s lodging alone while RM171,000 were spent on six single supplementary rooms with some of them housing Khir’s children

HAWAII? For what??? Learn how to turn Bagan Lallang into Surfer's Paradise?????

And how much more irresponsible is this botox arse? He and his wife refused to attend the inquiry.... just need to see how much more he wants to defend his actions now. By the way, Pakatan would be waiting in vain for AG to prosecute Botox's wife... and while they refer Botox to Priviliges Committee.. may I recommend that he be suspended 2 years without pay and his assets is Selangor frozen to facilitate investigation as to the origins of his wealth.

GET BOTOX and GET BALKIS TO PAY BACK TO THE RAKYAT!

Smart Move (2)

Perak Speaker suspended Zambry and all his exco cahoorts... :).

So? How now brown cow?

Here (suspension)

Here (Prof Aziz Bari's take that Speaker has suspension powers) Not difficult to figure as BN has done this umpteenth number of times in Parliament and other state assemblies.. so why cry foul now? Wanna be like this Former Parliament secretary crying foul? HERE.

Some mofos are crying out saying this is high treason that Pakatan does not respect the Sultan's decision.... well, for a start, if they all like good boys follow the constitution and dissolve the state assembly and call for snap election.. then I think the quagmire that Perak is in today could have been averted.

So, what can we Malaysians do?

Sit and wait la... what else can we do?

Aiyo.. don't have to wait long... Sleepyhead has spoken! "They have DISRESPECTED the Sultan!" Fierce... fierce...

The move to suspend Perak Menteri Besar Zambry Abdul Kadir and his six executive councillors can be regarded as disrespecting the sultan's decision, said Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today.

MCPX

"The speaker cannot do it (suspend the seven) - the menteri besar and excos were appointed by the Sultan legally. This kind of action can be regarded as not respecting the sultan's decision.

As elected assemblypersons, they have a right to be in the Dewan (state assembly)," he told a press conference in Putrajaya.

Abdullah also urged the Perak BN government to file a police report over the latest twist to the political turmoil in the state.

"We know their (Pakatan Rakyat) tricks," he said, adding that by suspending the seven, Pakatan Rakyat will have the majority in the state assembly.

The prime minister also disagreed with the suggestion that a fresh elections will be the best solution to resolve the deadlock.

According to him, the best solution is for the BN state government to continue ruling Perak to ensure stability.

What a bunch of crap... and expect BN and their lap dogs to go running to the Police to make reports and trust the police to be ultra efficient in discharging their duties...

According to Perak Umno Youth chief Zainol Fadzi Paharudin, the police report will be filed under the Sedition Act whereas the MACC report will be on Sivakumar’s alleged abuse of power as speaker.

Now... what gives him the bloody idea that BN government can ensure stability? How can a party that was REJECTED by people of Perak ensure stability?

Najib and his flips and flops...

One can equate Abdullah to be the HP6 PM and the man of flip flop... the crooked bridge and dissolution of Parliament for the 12th GE tops my mind.. well you guys are free to further enlighten me on their flip flops...

But we SHOULD also equate Najib to be the biggest of flip flops eh?

1. I do not know Saiful!

I guess he flopped big time on that especially after he admitted being Saiful's trauma counsellor.

2. Sale of IJN!! Wow!

Oh well... for people's sake we won't sell... did he flop?

3. Labu LCCT...

Build? On? Off? Flop again??

4. Malaysian economy will not be hit by the global economic turmoil! Wow! Said with such bravado....

Today he flopped.. we will have to revise our 3% GDP growth.. I must say, we have known or have been harping on the economic turmoil affecting the livelihoods of Malaysians long before this bufoon realizes it.. or maybe he was too busy being a sodomy counsellor and spending millions of the "STIM"ulus package to consolidate his power base in Kuala Terenganu and Perak. Fortunately for him, Perak's raid proven to be fruitful but in the process had the whole Exco suspended... gee... so? MB and Exco got barred from State Assembly.. how lar? Proclaim the current assembly unlawful? Start a new one? ScUMNO is pretty good at that I must admit! Wanna bet that scUMNO will do just that? They have a kangaroo court that will rule everything in their favour... they can faithfully call on Zaki and Mr. Paul to do their bidding for them...

Maybe.. the only thing that he has yet to flop is his "explosive relationship" with one Mongolian beauty... that I think, is a MUST NOT FLOP CASE at all cost... hmmm....

Concerted Effort to Discredit PKR?

The events that unfolded since GE12 seems to point to that direction... aint it?

1. First they say Anwar sodomises Saiful...
2. Then PKR unveils PI Bala!
3. Then scUMNO make PI Bala make a U-TURN.
2. Then they say PKR reps in Perak makan luit....
3. Then they tell these PKR reps that has corruption hanging over their heads to join scUMNO.
4. Then they label Arumugam of Bkt. Selambau a bigamist... and make him defect.. but PKR acted faster.. make him resign..
5. Then they probably paid heaps to this jilted ex-bf of Eli Wong to hand over pics of her sleeping naked... (That makes me wanna check with all my ex-gfs to see if they still have nude pics of me in their posession...)

Notice that they target PKR reps?

Have you ever wondered why?

My 3sen... well inflation la... 2sen cannot survive... need 3 sen now... worth of thoughts.

PKR is the lynchpin that holds DAP and PAS together. GE12 has been a revelation of sorts for PKR and with their strength, they seem to be the glue that holds DAP and PAS in a cohesive force and BN knows fully well that a cohesive Pakatan spells trouble for them. So, instead of taking out DAP and PAS.... which may prove difficult unless they can find a sulker who wants a Camry badly... they would probably will not find it easy to tempt people in these two parties... moreover, breaking DAP or PAS would only "weaken" Pakatan.. but if they succeed in taking out PKR... they will bring Pakatan down. So, BN went about their simplistic idea that with MSM in their hands, they work tirelessly to discredit PKR leaders in the eyes of Malaysians....

So far, I am afraid they have failed..... MISERABLY.. not unless there are converts out there who would now believe BN lock stock and barrel that they are the best government, they are the cleanest and the most righteous choice now that PKR leaders are prone to be easily corruptible and have "loose morals". But before these people come up and tell me.. "see... these flers.. hopeless..." Lets just take a short trip down memory lane...

1. The former MB with two Mohd to his name... with MILLIONS of dollars in Australia...
2. Toyo with all the "gifts" from PKNS.
3. Former Malacca CM's sex scandal..
4. Current Malacca CM who believes that scUMNO alone is enough to govern Malaysia.
5. KerisMudin keris act...
6. Soon to be PM, bathe blood in keris act.
7. Soon to be PM explosive scandals with a Mongolian, Scorpene, Sukhoi...
8. Soon to be PM who is a sodomy expert..
9. Soon to be PM who became Choi San before CNY in KT..

list are endless...

So.. have they succeeded in any way to paint PKR as a not so viable alternative?

It has not to me.. most unfortunate to BN.. but has it changed the perception of others? That I would like to know.

I do hope to see a by-election at Bkt Lanjan and would love dearly to see BN fler roundly hammered by the learned voters of Bkt. Lanjan.

Smart Move

,Could I call it a stroke of genius?


Here the MB for Selangor to seek "Royal Guidance" on Eli Wong's predicament. With Toyo frothing in the mouth calling for her resignation which she did but yet to be accepted, the Sultan of Selangor is called into action for his wise advice.

From Malaysiakini.

The Selangor government will seek the views of state ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah on how it should deal with the controversy surrounding executive councillor Elizabeth Wong.

MCPX

In a statement today, Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said: "I shall be seeking an audience with his royal highness to brief him on the issue and seek his guidance." "It is most unfortunate that certain elements have resorted to such despicable acts to smear her (Wong's) name and integrity.

"I am sure Malaysians and the people of Selangor will reject the use of such shameful tactics and join me in condemning the people responsible."

Yes my MP... I am with you.

Well, take this episode that fell on Ms. Eli Wong and the sodomy case by a dropout on Anwar Ibrahim.... consider the fact that the DPM at first denied meeting Saiful, then admitted to meeting him at some God forsaken hour at his house... right down to his swearing at a mosque in Permatang Pauh regards to Altantunya...

Question: Do you believe our DPM? Do you think that this one ex-boyfriend met the DPM or some scUMNO bigwigs at his house at some God forsaken hour to seek his views whether he should distribute the pictures? Do you think that a powerful hand is behind all these charade?

I am sure Anwar understands the trauma, hurt and anger at this juncture and he I am sure he was speaking from his heart when he said,

Speaking to reporters at the Parliament lobby, he said: "I can only use the strongest possible terms to condemn the smear tactics used against her.

"One can only wonder to what depths the people behind this will stoop to achieve their ends."

Seriously Eli, stay the course.. let not these people cow you into resigning. These despicable acts MUST stop. The gutter politics MUST end. Can we have the most enlightened view of the Sultan of Selangor?

Royal Pain

Perak. Probably one word describes them all.

But I think the issue has gone beyond that and it started way way before the fiasco in Perak. Lets for a minute digress from the fact that Hee was sulking that she did not get her Camry.. lets for one minute forget the fact that the "Super Frog" can switch his allegiance in such simplistic manner and also lets forget the fact that the two "tainted" PKR reps was looking after their own arse.

After all the hope.. with Royalties giving speeches of righteousness.. has really whet our appetite that we the downtrodden rakyat has something to look forward to. A monarch that really knows and understand their subjects but I guess all that came to ZERO after the Perak fiasco. Today, we have the King shortcircuiting the process by asking Abdullah to have a smooth transition of power... What the fuck? What transition? Abdullah is only stepping down as head of UMNO.. he has not said that he will quit as PM of Malaysia! Has he? No doubt by virtue of being head of UMNO becomes PM, the 12th GE specifically picked Abdullah as the PM and not Najib! Is the King now working hand in glove with Najib to force another coup at Federal level?

Abdullah has one last throw of the dice, that is to dissolve Parliament and to call for a fresh election and I call upon him to leave a legacy of of Bapa Reformasi Malaysia!

Now back to the sulking frogs... the media was trying to paint the hopping culture as being started by Anwar Ibrahim and equating their coup in Perak just as that. Damn MSM... why did they not point out that Anwar promised an election 6 - 12 months after taking power? After they have cleaned up the electoral rolls? Najib meanwhile make Taking Perak as his no.1 priority after taking charge of Perak UMNO.. tunjuk garang ka?

Then fate has it that there would be two by-elections... hereby nicked.. the tale of two Bukits.. one Bukit Gantang and the other Bukit Selambau... Bukit Gantang is a direct battle between PAS and UMNO.. one which UMNO would play Pakatan's "derhaka" to the fullest.. lets see what garbage they will dish out.. "If you love your Sultan, you should reject those misfits who has durhaka your Sultan!"

Bukit Selambau meanwhile with a huge disgruntled Indian population, its very dicey for BN but.. VOILA! A few million from the "STIM"ulus package will do the trick... "Lets have a few Indian independents to join the fray to dilute the support for Pakatan!" Read today's Sun, at least 20 aspiring Independents! Wow.... all believe they can do a better job than V. Arumugam?

Meanwhile, my call to Pakatan is, lets unite and be viable. I do not support Pakatan, but I believe they are definitely a better alternative than the critically ill BN.

Beyond All That Stench...

How much lower will our politicians in BN stoop?

Well, lets recap.. (I will write about the Perak fiasco later, this will have to go first):

1. EC being the BN stooge conveniently decides on the dates of the 2 by elections(which by the way was conveniently set right after UMNO election) and dear DPM in waiting, Muhyidin gleefully tells Pakatan to not contest if they are not happy!? Gee.. even a dead man can smell rat here...

Golly... they are that desperate to win the seats uncontested! Surely they believe that they will be thrashed if a contest takes place....

2. The biggest sex scandal since Chua Soi Lek.. or so BN would want to make it out to be... Elizabeth Wong, the ADUN for Bukit Lanjan.. I really feel for her.. and what is this idiotic Toyo saying? Gosh, BN politicians really talking nothing but crap that insults our intelligence. Please read this carefully Toyo... Ms. Wong was photographed by her ex-boyfriend while she was sleeping! And you have

From Malaysiakini.
Toyo the idiot saying, "The former menteri besar said the Pakatan Rakyat leader should quit as state cabinet member as well as state assemblyperson for Bukit Lanjan.

"This is a moral issue. Previously, (former health minister and MCA deputy president) Dr Chua Soi Lek had also resigned over a similar incident," he told Malaysiakini.

Mohd Khir said when the MCA leader's video-clip surfaced, Pakatan leaders had urged him to relinquish his post."So why not now (ask Wong to quit). Don't have double standards," he said, adding that Wong, who is also PKR Wanita publicity chief, should quit "as soon as possible".

How the fuck did can he equate this to Chua Soi Lek? Ex-boyfriend (at the point of being photographed - boyfriend while she was asleep) Chua? A married man... in a hotel room with a lady acquaintance doing action on bed? Even for Chua, I still believed that its a family thinggy.. if the family forgave him.. who are we? And this botox-ed Toyo... geez... wonder what makes the composition of his brain.. a Dentist is suppose to have less brains than a Doctor but I never suppose it would be polluted by SHIT.

I do not think that Elizabeth deserves the crap that she is getting... and our great police force has only "taken a statement" from the ex-boyfriend? And... Police who has been so "efficient" in detaining those peaceful vigilers was "YET TO IDENTIFY" the person responsible for distributing these pictures.... my.. my.. my...

"We are still in the process of tracing the person," he added.

Earlier, Arjunaidi said the police will also be calling a journalist who informed Wong about the photos.

"So I hope everyone will be patient until we complete our investigations," he was quoted as saying by Bernama.

I smell RAT! Big rotting RODENT! Wonder how much money was paid from the "STIM"ulus plan to set this up?

PAS rightfully with their high Religious standing made a statement saying the culprit worse than a prostitute... According to her, such voyeuristic practices were against the teachings of Islam, especially with the motive of ruining a person's credibility.

She also expressed regret with the action of the media in playing up this issue.

"Whose photographs would be circulated after this? It is as if these people (who circulate such photographs) have nothing better to do," she said.

But, Elizabeth Wong has held her dignity and offered to quit. Selangor will lose a wonderful representative whose stand on environment has not budged. My view is that she need not do so. She did no wrong and I stand by Ms. Wong on this and condemn the man to hell! He does not deserve to be called a man nor a human being... resorting to such cowardice after being dumped... Dickless and spineless... you bring SHAME to the male population!

MalaysianJoe thinks... the only crime here actually is not screwing a prostitute... or being photographed naked while asleep.. the crime is blowing up someone after screwing that person..

WOW!

SYABAS!! MALAYSIA SALUTES YOU!!

MALAYSIAN JOE SALUTES YOU!

What Double Standards?

According to the police... NO ILLEGAL GATHERINGS.. NO CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL... NO DEMONSTRATION... or so they say...

Demonstration against the Zionist... HERE.

Whether Israel's current clobbering of Palestinians and Hamas is right or wrong, I do not think I would like to get myself sucked into a never ending discussion. It will be a whole lot easier if these two bickering group take their war to the moon. I think, the world then would be a much more peaceful place to live in.

Now, 5000 started their march from Tabung Haji building.... towards US Embassy... no FRU? no water chemical laced water cannon? no senseless clobbering of demonstrators?? Key word I found in the article

This group was largely made up by Umno Youth members from the Titiwangsa division.

Then the article shows the picture of burning of flag.. which is symbolic of anger... its okay to burn Israel, US flag... but not Umno or BN... I now hope that the police come out with guidelines as to what we can demonstrate against illegally and what we can't.

Then we have the freaking old hag of an ex-PM calling upon Malaysians to BOYCOTT! yeah.. BOYCOTT US made products as these buggers are said to be supporting the Zionist cause... GOOD! BOYCOTT! But why stop at McDonalds, Coca Cola and Starbucks? Think further.. what else is American? Intel, AMD, IBM, HP... boycott also Astro Channels.. most of them are American anyway... do not use.. Google, Yahoo, MSN.. gosh.. throw away your computers as it is using Microsoft OS and programs and please delete your profile on Facebook!

Why stop at McD? Poor old uncle Ronald... and why not KFC? A&W? Ownership of the brands? I just wish that the old man would just ease into his retirement gracefully .. has he not forgotten that he paid a Jew to be photographed with his arch enemy, President George Bush Jr? A man with an elephant's memory does have selective memory loss at times...

Okay, I have completed my rantings... I think I shall go out later and get a coke from a 7-11, then I may adjourn to Starbucks for a frappuchino and surf the net on my Acer (isay.. Taiwanese brand) which uses an Intel core-duo processor operating Windows Vista and using my trusty wireless logitech mouse... then for dinner, I might just pop into McD for a Prosperity Burger with Coke! While having dinner, I might call up my wife (who works in an American Bank) with my Nokia (yeah.. its Finnish) running on Symbian OS... After all, CNY is around the corner.... and I shall not patronize any mamak stall that does not sell my favourite beverage! Made in Malaysia's COCA COLA!

Change is About to Come to Malaysia!

Sorry for my long long silence... firstly we have the friendly IRB team coming in for a field audit right before year end and then I have a bunch of relatives deciding to come back home from all over for holidays and then its Christmas.. and then.. its new year.. and then its all budget meetings for the new fiscal year and then school reopens! Yeah, busy is an understatement.

So many "and thens" have taken so much time and it is difficult to gather my thoughts and pen a decent article down... so I thought then that I should not write something which is half baked. (I call it procrastination). But having made my new year resolution to continue to yak about all thats gone wrong in our country.. I intend to keep to it.. at least crystallize one of my resolution and for good measure too...

Since my last post, Sime Darby has since abandoned their idea of buying a stake in IJN despite government saying that they are putting it on hold... I hope that ends the "interest" of Najib and co to sell IJN and make a tidy profit after the failed Euro-cocked up deal.

These days, I guess the focus have shifted to East Coast, Kuala Terengganu to be precise and blogger Zorro has called on the boycott of MSM. I second that any day! Reading them make me puke! So BOYCOTT! I have been boycotting MSM since long before March 8... so it makes no difference to me, but I would like to sincerely call onto others to do the same. Reading lies and enriching the people telling them is just the most horrible thing we can do as human beings. So, boycott it is! I will take some time off today to have the logo displayed.

Zorro talked about the crowd during nomination (and here) but I think Pakatan should not get too over confident and cocky right now. They have to ensure another win for Pakatan and further reduce BN's thin majority in Parliament. Maybe its the encouragement they need to have those undecided froggies to decide that its time to hop. With that in mind, I also share Harris's thoughts that Najib should not be PM. Kuala Terengganu voters should not be bluffed into thinking that the so called "rift" in Pakatan (i.e the recent spat between Manicakvasagam in PKR and Santiago in DAP) to be manipulated into a crumbling Pakatan. If there is any if you ask me, I think it is healthy that all the disagreements are discussed and debated and solutions sought unlike in the past where Umno practised the You Must Not Object unilateral decision making where they lord over the kuncu-kuncu in MCA, MIC, Gerakan, PPP etc. Instead as Haris rightly pointed out that the so called "rift" is actually democracy at work!

Kuala Terengganu could be the last nail in BN's coffin if the decision is overwhelming, it will just go to show that the tide of March 8, is not a one-off but a growing tide that will sweep the country..... eventually... I hope. It is not that I think Pakatan will be the choice of government, but, I would think that they can do no worse than BN. So, my fellow Kuala Terengganu voters, this is the time to send another message to BN. They have failed to "listen" during March 8... and they thought Permatang Pauh was a one off since it was an "Opposition Stronghold". Now, lets send a loud and clear message through the "Bastion of BN" in the Kuala Terengganu by-election that Change is about to come to Malaysia!

TOLAK BN!

IJN - To sell or not to sell...

Our DPM announced triumphantly that IJN would be sold to Sime Darby.

Trail of the news can be found here which many thought culminated when DPM announced that it would be sold...

PM says takeover only if poor taken care of. A very caring PM if you asked me but I think he left his brains somewhere. How can you sell off something and hope to influence or retain control on how they are being run?

Then Sime Darby came out with a statement that the fee structure will remain! WOW! What a Stupid statement... are you telling me that it will remain forever? Or was it a deceptive statement to cheat? HERE.

Of course another idiot and apple polisher in the form of current health minister who has been at best disgusting when the whole melamine scare hit dairy products, he needed an "advice" from ex-health minister Mr. Gigolo to tell him to accept Singapore's list to reduce the ministry's tasks as good, and at the moment, he is still unable to tell if 100 deaths from denggi is not enough to kick the butt of his ministry into action. Well, his introduction was a bit long, but this is what he said.. Govt will continue to REGULATE IJN's fees.... err... like how they regulate electricity tariff is it? Or toll concessions? Or payments to IPPs? Even the roti canai seller?

Well, the above news are all just mere whines from me. The crux of the news is here.

NO OBJECTION TO SIME DARBY STAKE IN IJN! Declares Najib.

I commented in Cikgu's blog the other day, that our dear Najib is trying to find more creative means to patch the hole caused by the failure of the EuroCOCKter deal gone sour... for now... or so it seems that the DPM is trying to exert his influence and make a pre-emptive statement ahead of the PM in this matter.

Then the mother of all spin came out...

THE CABINET DEFFERED IJN's SALE

and in a face saving spin, they depict the government as caring and sensitive in that they will have to deliberate it further.. HERE. The thing here is what is Najib trying to say? First sale, then no sale and his excuse is this...

Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said the study would focus on the interests of the rakyat, especially in guaranteeing that the Government’s social responsibilities towards the people would not be sacrificed.

The deferment, according to Najib, was made due to the negative reaction from the public following the Government’s announcement that it had agreed in principle to the takeover plan.

The statement made his sound as stupid as he looked. As if he did not conduct a comprehensive study and survey before he made the SALE statement. Ooops, I forgot, they are BN.


Now two questions:

1. Why did the DPM made the statement of sale then made a U Turn just a day after making it?
2. If the cabinet is caring and sensitive, the idea should have been dead a buried there and then? Why must it yet to be discussed?

Now, let me try to understand why the statements were made in that order. Najib is DPM and PM in waiting. He would have thought, he commanded the respect or wanted to see who in the cabinet are his YES men and who are not. Making the statement would weed out those who were not so co-operative and if he were to assume the seat next, his task of choosing his cabinet is made much easier. And while it is being deferred, it is being deferred until he assumes office in March 09. The deal will still go through come March 09. Make no mistake about it.

Scenario two takes a small twist. DPM made the statement, trumping his No.1... for want to show power, but when PM made the "caring" statement, he decided to muscle the cabinet into denying his No.2 glory for now. Can we assume that there is an acute power struggle from within? Can it be seen that DPM does not have the sort of absolute support that he seem to have as depicted by the Umno nominations for position of Presidency?

Landslides and Tragedies... whose fault is it anyway?

My heart goes out to families whose members perished in the landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa.. anguished by the thoughts of people losing people they loved... also to those whose lives were taken by the terrorists in Mumbai and closer to home some unwarranted deaths on the roads like the one in Tangkak that claimed so many lives.

I just wonder what has the government done to avert all these disasters. Much as I was busy and too busy to write, my heart tells me that I need to write something on all these. News over the past few days really akin to rubbing salt onto the wound. While we see needless deaths due to negligent drivers and ill maintained express busses, we have the authorities telling us that the fourth passenger in the car need not buckle up. And their freaking excuse was only 5%-6% of vehicles carry the 4th passenger. They need not be issued a ticket either.

Try reading between the lines.... the laws should have been black or white... either you break the law or you did not. Right? Now, if the 4th passenger would not be issued a summon, then he/she is not breaking the law.. right? Then why must 3 flers at the back buckle up and the 4th be exempted? Now, do we have the statistics that say that rear passengers who do not buckle up had caused more deaths than the motor cyclists that carry an entire family on their two wheelers? Or deaths to motorcyclists without crash helmets? Are there any statistics to show that vehicles that zipped past traffic lights after it has longed turned red caused more deaths? Or could it be that cyclist or motor cyclist nipping in a one way traffic or riding against the flow of traffic causing more accidents on pedestrians than rear seat passenger do to the two in front? I was at best flabbergasted by the news that came out. It seems that the authorities just wanted to make some money from retrofitting some cars with rear seat belts at best in coming up with such a ruling.

Imagine you are driving... two kids in the rear seat. I think all the more these two would be "brazenly" breaking the rule. Now would the police expect:

1. The driver to be focussed on the road or
2. To be busy looking back reminding their kids to buckle up and be less focussed on the road?

Which is more important?


That aside really, coz I thought it was a big issue.. but not after I read our PM and DPM's oh so holy statement that all hillside developments be STOPPED. I was like wow... "should this not have stopped since Highland Tower tragedy? Isn't this too little too late?" Then... there was this piece of news today which compelled me to write. HERE.

Looting by the authorities and refusal to help buried victims.... and of course the police deny it. No one will know for sure... but if its coming from the victims who were there first hand... who would you believe? I would believe the authorities naturally if they had in the past held the high moral ground and proved themselves blameless and honorable but am afraid, the scars of their past does not allow me to believe them... and with statements coming from CPO Khalid, I am all the more suspicious after his statement on the detention of the candlelight vigil in PJ.

Indeed there are many things to write about... just too busy to do all that at the moment. At the top of my mind too was the Jerit folks who were arrested in Johor and their machines "torched" by arsonists... co-incidence? Arsonists working hand in hand with the police? And I am suppose to believe and trust the police? Gimme a break!

What are Police for?

A few days back, Botak made another blunder.... laughable?

Yeah.. he talked about the closure of the police beat at Chow Kit was due to fear of criminals and contagious diseases.... As usual, his stupidity earned him loads of "attention".

I forgot where I read the news before but as usual back then I was too busy to write about it and I forgot all about it until today. Malaysiakini carried the news that he has come out to "explain" that he had made a mistake!

A MISTAKE???? Heck! Botak! Seriously if you made a mistake saying what you said, you truly do not deserve to be in the government. Are you telling us that we have MORONS running the country?? I doubt any other idiot out there would give such an excuse to close the police beat down. In the very first place, Chow Kit should by now be a very safe and clean are because of the presence of a "Police Beat" but, I must say, the Police Beat itself is a nest for the transvestites to ply their trade!

Maybe then sir, your fear that your honorable and fearless cops to catch the contagious disease could be true as they could be... no?

Now lets go back to the news report. Did he actually made himself look smart when he apologized for his mistake? Lets read the statement ya?

Asked if he would retract his statement made in Parliament, Syed Hamid replied: "I think I have fixed the mistake. The statement I made was based on a written answer and the officials had given me the wrong information."

Honestly, his answers really had me in stitches! The bolded statement shows that Botak just read the statement without processing the information through his head to find out if it is logical or not!... Maybe it did go through.. just that there were no brain cells left to process the information.

The minister also blamed the media for confusing the public further over the matter.

Now...the best way to not make me look stupid is to blame someone else for it. Yeah! Blame the media for confusing the public by reporting EXACTLY what he said?????? Excuse me?

"Some of the information in the written answer (in Parliament) was right, some of it was wrong.

"The media played a major role in confusing the people by giving the impression that the police are scared of criminals. If they are, then we would all will be in trouble," he said.

Well.. okay... some right and some wrong answers... this shows that those dungus working under you are actually dungus... and you are the BIGGEST dungu for not vetting through the information.. and ahh yes.. reinforce the fact that the media confuse people yet again for reporting EXACTLY what you said....

Hey Botak... I have an idea! Please protect them (the media) because now they are under threat by the police for making them look stupid... May I suggest ISA? Its the best tool to protect the innocent. Right? If you have forgotten, then may I remind you of one Miss Tan Hoon Cheng?

As for the bolded statement, WE ARE ALREADY IN TROUBLE. Look at the rocketing crime rate. Everyday, I hear of people having their vehicle hijacked.. some lady losing their belongings to a snatch thief... and where are the police? Shifting out of crime infested area?

We are BETTER than Singapore...

Malaysia slides in the Press Freedom Ranking

Malaysia is ranked 132... while Singapore is BELOW US!!!! at 144. Beat that! Its not usual for Singapore to be seated below us.. but I am thrilled to BITS!!!! (pun intended)

Golly!! We are actually better than Singapore in at least one way.... but now the comparison by our government would be.. "Hey... don't you say that we always compare Malaysia with Myanmar... but we are now comparing with Singapore.. so you guys in MSM... be glad.. and be good otherwise, the fate that befalls Tan Hoon Cheng would probably befall you guys as well. Anyway, you know very well that our intentions are good, we will arrest you under ISA for your own good... really.. trust us."

Another advise to bloggers would be.... well, RPK, Nathaniel Tan, Penarik Beca etc..... isn't that signs enough to tell us that our government really look after our safety?
