Pak Lah to Resign?

June 2010 is the year stated that he will hand over the country's reins to his deputy...

Apparently he will announce this today.

Now will the music please start for the musical chair participants for UMNO's No. 2 position?

Or will Najib never see the light of day after all the bad news that he is facing right now?

Or is this just another flip-flop by Pak Lah? Resign? Not resigning? Resigning tomorrow?

Will this plan work out or will there be further twists to the saga come December? Will his announcement appease his detractors to nominate him for elections this December? Or will Ku Li, Muhyidin and others stage an upset of sorts? Or will they now play political posturing to gain at the end of the day? Will they go for broke?

I do not think this announcement will end the uncertainty... it will make things even more unpredictable. Especially with the proposed successor embroiled in so much controversy.

It means Fuck You La.. What else?

This is what a racist monkey does....

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.

My Favourite Team

Ahhh.. enough of politics....

But looking at the only team I supported since childhood isnt really that bright either... sigh...

After two seasons of winning the Premier League and having done the double last year, many would have expected Manchester United to maintain the core of the team and be THE club this coming season and have a real go at more titles this season.

But it seems to be falling off at its seams.

First it was Ronaldo... which I already had my piece here.

I am still of the opinion that no player is bigger than the club... if he so desires to go.. he should just do it. As in Ronaldo's case, if indeed Real Madrid thinks that he is the best player in the world, they should just cough up the amount needed. I would not mind really if its an exchange deal for Wesley Sniejder and Sergio Ramos.. haha

Then there seem to be some uncertainty in their backroom with Carlos Queiroz on his way to become the coach of the Portuguese national side after the departure of Luis Felipe Scolari to our flavoured rival at the moment Chelsea... and they seem to be playing real dirty for long with Big Phil urging Ronaldo to go to Real Madrid... haha... I have never regarded Chelsea as the biggest rival of Manchester United, they never will be. In fact they rank fourth in my most intense rival scale, first being Liverpool, followed by Arsenal and derby rivals, the blues of Manchester. That aside. The loss of CQ would be a huge blow to United in their quest for silverware next season, more so their ability now to hold on to players like Nani, Anderson and probably Manucho.

Manucho, the man who wreaked havoc in the last African Nation's Cup for Angola seem destined to follow the footsteps of great African players and to be the latest to grace the BPL stage after the likes of Okocha, Essien, Drogba, Adebayor, Toure amongst others. And he has to arrive INJURED! What else could have gone wrong for United next season has gone wrong!

Worse to follow, its been 2 weeks since Euro 2008 ended and there seem to be no light at the end of the tunnel as to any new talents are walking in to the famed Theatre of Dreams! Many would like to see the likes of Huntelaar, Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema to grace Old Trafford but there is hardly any news on that. I hope Sir Alex will pull a rabbit out of the hat like he did last season with a surprise which brought Nani and Anderson to OT. Keeping my fingers crossed!

What is more important?

Facts of the case? Veracity of evidence gathered? Or swearing by the Quran?

I am no Muslim nor a religious expert. So, the sight of Rafidah swearing by the Quran sometime ago really amuses me... and now this? Asking Anwar to swear by the Quran? Saiful taking it a step further by issuing the challenge on his friendster page?

Not pointing who is less religious, I can bet you one thing.... a person who fear not the religion would not bat an eyelid to swear by any book you pass to him not even the book of faith he professes in. Eh?

Suddenly there is a chorus asking all and sundry to swear by the Quran... does it help? Really....

I dont know. What I know is, there is no smoke if there is no fire. Fire however can be self inflicted.. so Sodomy, Bala, Altantunya murder, Rosmah, Najib, RPK, Anwar and Saiful... are you gonna leave a cliffhanger or wut? Funny though, you realize the names like Abdullah and Khairy are not on the "In the News" list at the moment? Could this be the master stroke by Mr. Sleepyhead to make all the aspirants or contenders to his seat having a go at each other's throat so that he could consolidate power?

Or is it that, Anwar sees Abdullah as expired goods hence is not the primary target and that his ambitious No. 2 together with his wife pose a far greater threat to his aspiration to be PM? Or is KJ at last stealthily moving in the shadows to set these two on warpath so as to safeguard his dream of becoming PM after the next GE?

This one does not even need a season end cliffhanger... its a cliffhanger at the end of every episode!

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.

Sunday Slumber... or Explosion?

(from Mobscrib)

I do not understand what PROTES is for.

Firstly you want to protest against the unjust fuel increases and hardships. Yet you have a day long "carnival" urging people to travel to participate. The "protest" was more of a fund raising campaign and selling of party paraphernalia... if you ask me. And why do we need a "rock concert"? We are there to send a message to the government! Not some kind of weekend day's off!

Pakatan, I still believe you guys can do a better job than BN. We need a viable government to manage the country... not an alternative government to organize rock concerts!

For all your endeavour in calling for fuel price reduction, you have not tabled an alternative measure to manage subsidies nor curbing the abuse of low fuel prices by foreign cars. You have not addressed the issue of smuggling of subsidized fuel. Although you propagate the use of Petronas's funds for the subsidies, you have not cast a sight into the future when oil runs out! You have not tabled a proper vision as to how you are going to manage the country!

So far, all I hear from Pakatan is, lower fuel prices, enticing frogs to jump and causing chaos in an already fragile political situation in the country. Maybe they are preying on the fragility. But, prey you must.. make it SHORT and DECISIVE please!

So, Pakatan, Sept 16 now looks pretty elusive.... what happens if Sept 16 came and went without much fanfare... what then will people think of Pakatan? Do it ... Just Do it... Malaysians have been let down for 50 years... so what the heck...

US Snitch... yet to sue?

After all the focus on Najib and Rosmah's unwillingness to sue RPK over his allegations of her presence at the scene of crime, I would also like to ask if Anwar for all intent has instituted legal proceedings against Syed Hamid for calling him a snitch?

He voiced out to a certain extent, but sadly he only extended a challenge to the Govt to prove that he is a snitch.

Anwar Ibrahim has challenged the government to either prove that he was an American ‘snitch’ or publicly apologise for the slanderous accusation.

Anwar called on Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar, the man who first made the accusation, to produce ‘proof’ in an open court.

“I am prepared to be dragged to court to answer the charges. If it cannot be proven, then the government and the minister should make a public apology for the disparaging statement,” he told some 30,000 people at the rally.

Why cant he be the one to drag Syed Hamid to court for libel and defamation? Why must he be prepared to be dragged to court? In order for Anwar to gain full trust of public he MUST initiate moves to prove his own credibility.

He has done a lot to discredit the government and to his credit they have not dared to drag him to court. That mean a lot to the court of public opinion. Indeed he is winning it there... but for him to totally win them over, there are few things he could do:

1. Sue Syed Hamid for calling him a snitch.
2. Prove once and for all the link between Najib and Altantunya. Stop playing trailers and teasers. Put up the right stuff.
3. Make the frogs hop NOW. Why wait till Sept 16? No doubt it is a symbollic date but..... we want to get on with our lives. Having some certainty helps...
4. Put on paper your plans. We have yet to see the economic blueprint you have for the country. Do not just point out the faults of the government. Tell us what you will do instead.

Police Investigate both SDs?

Righteous. Can I conclude that? Can they be impartial and fair to ivnestigate both SDs? Since they are suspiciously behind the reversal of the initial SD?

(Bernama) -- Police will investigate both statutory declarations made by P. Balasubramaniam even though the private investigator had retracted the earlier statutory declaration dated July 1.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said the police would still be carrying out their investigations as there might be hidden motives involved.

"We will investigate both. The one (he distributed) yesterday and the retractions he made today," he said when contacted.

Speaking through lawyer M. Arulampalam, Balasubramaniam told a news conference today that the statements contained in his previous statutory declaration were inaccurate and not the truth.

"I wish to retract the entire contents of my statutory declaration dated July 1, 2008. I was compelled to affirm the said statutory declaration under duress," he said in the new statutory declaration dated Friday.

Yesterday, Balasubramaniam, a witness in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder trial, distributed a statutory declaration dated July 1, containing statements about Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's alleged involvement with the Mongolian woman.

Najib denied the allegations and described them as malicious lies aimed at tarnishing his image.

Ismail said police would still investigate into the July 1 statutory declaration notwithstanding the retraction today.

"There might be intentions to create diversion... so we should carry out a thorough investigation," he said.

First and foremost, can the police confirm what happened to Bala when he went to Brickfields station right after the July 3 press conference? If and indeed the police were the ones that coerce him to change his stand, what credibility does the police have to investigate these SDs?

My view is it doesnt add up. When the July 1 SD was released on July 3, he seemed jovial and answered many questions posed to him although DSAI robbed him off the spotlight, which I believe is not what he craved for anyway. He looked smart in shirt and hair well combed. The SD took many many hours to compile. He has spent hours with his lawyer and had his SD stamped at a Commissioner who co-incidentally came from Slim River where Bala came from.

Fast forward a few hours later.... he appeared flustered... tired and dejected and he handed out his now infamous July 4 SD which retracted every word he has said in the July 1 SD. He refused to answer questions and walked away. His new lawyer said that he is under duress. While his second SD stated that his FIRST SD was made under duress.

Who or what do we trust? His looks and body language defying his signed SD? Or his signed documents?

Since he was last seen entering the police station, we can assume that since then till the time he appeared at Prince Hotel, he was then made to come up with the second SD, or rather it was already there just for him to sign! Imagine an SD that took days and hours to write up... he now comes up with one in a matter of hours to deny every word that he has uttered in the first! How is that for efficiency!

Since there are two conflicting SDs now to come out from one person, I for one found the first one very sensational and too clear to believe it to be totally true. After July 4 SD, it has made me believed the first to have more essence of truth than I thought it should contain... enough truth to cause some "powers that be" to ensure the changes to mitigate the damage and discredit the very person who could cause it... no.. not Anwar but Balasubramaniam, the PI. With Bala compromised and possibly neutralized, Anwar is now left alone... unless he has more compelling evidence to prove that Najib did in fact know Altantunya? The rumoured picture? CCTV footages? Anwar would have been world's greatest PI if he were to have in his posession real compelling evidence of the greatest cover up in Malaysia.... to date.

SHOW HAND!

In a poker game of high stakes..... Anwar calls, RPK's SD..... UMNO mulls the options... up the stakes.... Saiful's allegations of sodomy by Anwar.....

Anwar takes a hard look at the table.... pushes half his chips to the middle... Up the stakes even further.... Bala's SD....

UMNO saw the bluff... immediately UPPED the stakes ... counter SD by Bala....

Will this poker game go on and on?? Will Anwar up the stake further??? Not much time left... could it be time to SHOW HAND?? Is this UMNO's ALL IN? will there be more to come??

Is Bala's about turn another gem by Anwar to prove that indeed there are forces that tries to suppress information from going through? Or is this Anwar's waterloo??? If Anwar does not chicken out... its time to put all the cards on the table and the stakes..... winner takes all... the problem is I am not sure if we are even at the "FLOP" yet.... let alone thinking that the "RIVER" has been dealt.

Or could it that Bala's retraction part of the plan? It is a no brainer to let Bala return to police station without lawyer's escort. Was that done on purpose? So that "coercion" can take its course? Najib has not said anything since last night... so is he happy now that his "ITS A LIE" rhetoric is now vindicated? Or is he more confused at the retraction?

Update.

Whatever it is, the stakes are now so high... it concerns the lives of people... I hope PKR and DSAI in particular will take heed that people's lives take precedence over political show... put forth all your evidence and help the frogs to make up their minds. If they jump, you form the government, if they dont, then you wait your time and allow BN to run the show until the next opportunity comes along AND... we allow the due process of investigation and judiciary to take its course.

Lagi No Sense...

Now what??? Somebody force Bala to make the SD? Now he is making another one??? Who force who? Who is telling a lie? Bala lost his credibility? As the plot thickens... we poor mofos just sit and wait for Armageddon... is this the 3rd SD that was being talked about by Rockybru? Discrediting Subra or he discredit himself? Subra liwat Anwar pulak... aisayman!

from Malaysiakini

Private detective P Balasubramaniam today retracted his stunning statutory declaration which had linked Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to murdered Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.

MCPX

The said declaration also had claims that Najib had a sexual relationship with Altantuya and that he was the one who had introduced Altantuya to Abdul Razak Baginda.

Balasubramaniam said that he was forced to make the declaration under duress. At a press conference in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur this morning, he produced a new statutory declaration. Missing from the new statutory declaration were references of Najib having a sexual relationship with Altantuya nor of Najib being the person who allegedly introduced Abdul Razak to the Mongolian woman.

Also with the PI this morning was his new lawyer. His other lawyer, Americk Sidhu, who was with him yesterday was unaware of the latest development. The press conference is still underway.

I mean... what power does DSAI have la to put Bala under duress? His butthole was laid bare for Anwar ah? He ditched his lawyer for a new one? under 24 hours?

Bala's First Statutory Declaration

Bala's Second Statutory Declaration

Damn.. its getting murkier.... the SD "was affirmed before commissioner of oaths Zainal Abidin Muhayat, bearing an address that is traced to Zul Rafique & Partners - a pro-establishment law firm owned by Zulkifly Rafique who is Federal Territories minister Zulhasnan Rafique's brother."

More than meets the eye? Star carries the story.....

A visibly perturbed Balasubramaniam remained mum on Friday when met by pressmen who had rushed to a hotel here where his new lawyer Arulampalam Mariam Pillai accompanied him for the brief press conference. Arulampalam also refused to entertain pressmen, giving only a brief statement that his client was under duress and that he was upset.

He certainly seem upset and under duress today..... but was he so yesterday?

Looked more relax aint it? moreover he fielded questions from the press.... this is what the Star wrote about the mood today...

Dressed in a cap and T-shirt Balasubramaniam refused to answer questions posed to him and left quickly after his lawyer distributed the second statutory declaration to reporters.

I wonder what does the body language tells us....
