Zaid sticking to his decision to resign (updated)

PUTRAJAYA: Datul Zaid Ibrahim has set his mind on resigning from the Cabinet, citing his disappointment with “meeting a brick wall” from his own colleagues and party members on many of his suggestions for reform.

The former de facto Law Minister also said he did not want many of the problems arising from his proposals earlier to be a burden on Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at a time when the latter had to grapple with party conflict and other challenges.

At least in UMNO there is one sensible leader who is prepared stick his neck out – a righteous, principled-man.

But the dungu PM is not taking heed from Zaid’s decision. But Zaid is not alone. Many other leaders are also against the ISA. It’s time to repeal it.

Some may sound tough, whilst some may sound like an advice; but it is clear that the voices are against ISA. It's not only them. It's the whole nation.

The 3 Ongs in MCA - Ka Ting, Ka Chuan and Tee Keat have all spoken out against it. Fong Chan Onn has lamblasted Syed Hamid “Kodomo Lion” Albar on his stupid explanation on invoking the ISA.

Softie Koh Tsu Koon has also spoken out.

So have MIC’s Samy Vellu and S. Subramaniam.

Shahril Samad had also voiced out.

Many many more.

So now how Pak Lah? They speak out for the entire nation.

Or you just want to leave it to Anwar to act on RPK and Teresa? Anwar claimed he already has the number. Read here for more.

To Love Malaysia is to Know Malaysia – Part 10

Show them the number, Anwar!

Show them the number, Anwar, if you have. What is holding you back? Get it done once and for all now. The sooner the better. Many Malaysians, like me, are getting impatient already. We have been yearning for the change since Dr. M handed over power.

Of late, they have done so many crazy and ridiculous things. Even my 5 year-old dog also can't comprehend. I'm not saying they did fantastic jobs before this but the latest incident diminished the last drop of confidence I had for them.

You see, they scooped up Raja Petra, a day after they lifted the ban on his blog, Malaysia Today. They claimed that he was a threat to national security. What national security can RPK threaten? Is he propogating insurgency? Communism? Is is propogating automonous rule or self-rule for any part of Malaysia? Is he assemblying a batallion of armed insurgents and arsenal of weapons to overthrow the government? No. What he did was to give his differing or dissenting views on issues that he thought was of national interest. Was it wrong to differ in views and to criticize?

You see, besides RPK, Teresa Kok was also in. Syed Hamid "Kodomo Lion" Albar, the most absurd Home Minister Malaysia ever had in its 51 history, said it was her role in the escalation of insensitive racial issues. What did she do? She rigorously defended the accusation levelled against her by another sour grape in Umno, Dr Khir "Tempe" Toyo that she demanded that a mosque in Puchong stopped using the loud speaker during "azan" time. That's all. And because of that, she was taken in.

They then picked up Tan Hoon Cheng, claiming that her life was under threat, for reporting the racist remarks made by the ever-recalcitrant Bukit Bendera Umno chief, Ahmad Ismail, only to release her 20 hours later (probably upon learning that how absurb they were).

Tan Hoon Cheng was a reporter; and she reported what Ahmad Ismail blurted out from his big mouth. An she was blamed to have incited the racial tension. Had she reported differently, she might have been accused of misrepresenting or twisting the facts.

What happened to the other perpetrators? Don't you think Ahmad Ismail, Azhar Ibrahim and Khir Toyo should be ISAed as well? Ahmad Ismail even had the cheek to proudly say he was going for roadshows nation-wide to explain the cause he was fighting for. Azhar Ibrahim, Penang UMNO secretary said that the reporter who reported Ahmad Ismail's remarks should be shot. Khir Toyo stirred up the racial sentiment by accusing Teresa.

Hairan bin ajaib. But the person who incited all these baseless allegations were not even ticked off, let alone ISAed

The sooner you take over, the better for us Malaysians. Nobody can bear even a minute longer. If you were to take over, at least I can be rest assured that this bloody devil is gone.
