No denying Anwar of his rightful place in Parliament

Wednesday August 27, 2008

The PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim returned to Parliament with a majority of 15,671 votes, trouncing BN Arif Shah Omar Shah, who garnered 15,524 votes and AKIM Hanafi Hamat, who lost his RM15,000 deposit after getting only 92 votes.

Despite of vicious and deplorable sabotaging by Umno, working in cohort with the Police, Anwar managed to crawl his way back to Parliament.

Even Syed Hamid admitted it was the most violent polls in history. Read more here

And yet Najib had the cheek to claim that democracy was alive and well. Read more here

Somebody please wake Najib up

(he's still sleeping)

Syed Hamid,

what do you plan to do with the violence?

And Anwar,

what's next, dude?

you made a lot of promises, you know (now it's time to deliver)

And KJ, thot he was such a macho in his actions and words but still a babe, crying "see you got bullied instead.

To Love Malaysia Is To Know Malaysia – Part 4

It’s a truly amusing Malaysia. It's full of happenings. Life is certainly not bored living in a beautiful country like Malaysia. In Singapore, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan and other highly-civilized and clear conscienced-society, one may not get to see the practices of corruption, graft, abuse of power, cronyism, nepotism, back-stabbing, excessive politicking, minorities marginalization and racial discrimination so prevalent in Malaysia. Of late, Malaysians are being overdosed with Statutory Declaration after Statutory Declarations and Swearing after Swearing. Don't know if these are for real or just kid-stuffs.

First it was RPK, the true fighter of justice, who declared that he was reliably informed that Rosmah, the first-lady-in-waiting and the husband-wife duo of lieutenant-colonels were at the scene where Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibu was blown up by the C4.

the evergreen true fighter, RPK

Then Bala, the PI appeared from nowhere with his SD claiming that Najib “the Najis” Razak was the person directing the “Altantuya Murder” play, with Razak “the King” Baginda and the 2 policemen as the main actors.

Not long after, from his secret hideout, Dr. Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid of Pusrawi Hospital, made a stunning declaration that there was no evidence that Saiful “the Sin-ful” Bukhari was sodomized.

Interesting though, as out of the sudden and not wanting to be left out, a certain Thagarajoo A/L Thangavelu made a SD revealing that Najib “the Najis” Razak was a practising “Hindu”.

Amusing huh!!!!!. Who is next? Could it be Hamzah Zainuddin, the Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister, who may want to statutorily declare that he “loaned” his ex-wife to Anwar? Or Wee Ka Siong, who may also want to statutorily declare that he was actually not involved with the student from China? Or Idris “the Iblis” Jusoh of Idris Jusoh Enterprise, who may want to declare how he and Pak Lah siphoned the RM17b of Terengganu's wang ehsan? Ali Rustam? Nazri Aziz? Tajol Rosli? Anyone? What about Najib “the Najis” Razak himself?

People whom Malaysians love to see making SD or swearing

Pak Lah and Najib for making Malaysia such as deplorable mess

Musa Hasan for his role in the "black eye" case and for putting the police force in such a sad state of affairs

Gani Patail for his selective prosecution in "polishing his political masters' balls"

Adnan Yaacob, the chief gangster from Pahang for his frequent obscene gestures and for his untiring effort in cajoling Najib to part with the RM18b of the rakyat money for the so-called broadband project.



Arif Shah, the "Pek Mo", for the "I'm reading for PHD, though a bogus one" episode and for declaring "No, I didn't manipulate Chong Wei. It was just a coincidence".



KJ, the son-in-law whose big mouth and arrogance always land the father-in-law in deep shit. But who cares, huh KJ?

Zulkifli Nordin, the notorious MP who claimed "I was there as a PPI rep, not as MP" and who said to his equally notorious so-called "protector of Islam" that "if you don't hear from me at 10.00 am, just storm the building"

And of course Anwar himself. Why are you not playing their games? Come on, just play along

After the SD, next came the.....

“swearing” comedy, led by Saiful “the Sin-ful” Bukhari

"I swear that he actually f****d my a*****e. In fact I felt good"

And followed by.....Jeng…..jeng…..jeng….Here comes the mastermind who hides behind the mask.

"I swear that I was not involved (in the murder of Altantuya Shaariibu). I have an alibi. You see, Rosmah and I were at home at that time, performing the ritual lead by Master Ji"

A deep dent on PKR’s image

Barely 6 months in power, PKR's extremists (they're no difference from UMNO's) have shown its true colour by unveiling their darker side.

Unless it takes drastic actions to repair its image to stay relevant, Anwar can forget about forming the Pakatan federal government.

• Kulim-Bandar Baharu MP Zulkifli Noordin should resign from PKR as it’s evident that his belief and practices are poles apart from that of PKR. He and PKR don’t operate on the same platform. Whilst PKR practices inter-faith tolerance, Zul prophesizes militancy and violence. Is this your model MP?

you wouldn't want PKR to be associated with extremists like this, right?



or do you condone unruly and provocative street demo like this?

Even this? BTW, who dares to "cabar Islam" when the nation has accepted it as its official religion?






• Batu PKR deputy chief Mohd Noor Kamil Abd Samad should be sacked. Surely PKR doesn’t want a gangster or hooligan in the party. Gangsters and hooligans are a disgrace to the party and bringing the party down.

cleanse your party from uncivilized character like this before it's too late - before support for PKR starts dwindling

• The two Perak state exco members, Kapt (Rtd) Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu and Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi should be relieved of their respective portfolios, pending investigation; and subsequently sacked if proven guilty.

PKR must dissociate itself from these bigots to regain the voters' trust. PKR must be cleansed of blood-suckers like them.

To Love Malaysia Is To Know Malaysia – Part 2

After 23 years of suppression under the wily, outspoken and recalcitrant but smart Tun Dr. Mahathir, Malaysians were presented with a new breadth when Pak Lah took over.

Once in a political wilderness, he was chosen due to his lucky star, as the 3 “former future PMs” – one by one fell by the wayside, he did pretty well initially.

Dubbed as “Mr. Clean”, Malaysians (minus the UMNO politicians), thought a new hope had finally shone – cleansing Malaysia of its graft-tainted image. But alas, Pak Lah did no better. In fact worst.

The ray of hope turned the ray of nope.

Cronyism, nepotism and corruption were intensified. Family members, close friends and inner circles become filthy rich in an unreasonable spate of time.

Corruption crept everywhere throughout all levels of the administration, throughout all levels of the UMNO hierarchy.

Crimes increase alarmingly. Illegal immigrants can be seen everywhere.

Politicking becomes more intensified.

Backstabbing is the game of the day.

Tourists dropped. Investors shied away.

Prices of petrol and diesel went up. Prices of goods skyrocketed.

The rich becomes richer. The poor becomes poorer. The rakyat suffers more.

Though did not qualify to contest, Anwar presented a new ray of hope for Malaysians after the 12th general election in March.

It’s not that Anwar is better than Pak Lah or Dr M, but at least he provides a glimmer of hope.

It’s not that he could do away with all the ills that infect Malaysia’s politics for decades, but at least he provides an alternative – for the better or worst, only time will tell.

Come September 16, this little hope could glitter or diminish.

To Love Malaysia Is To Know Malaysia – Part 1

On a lighter vein.

The 12th general election in Mac'08 presented Malaysians with the opportunity to enhance our vocab - which can be incorporated into their daily lives. Such as:

1. 'Anwarized' - meaning: to get back-stabbed……..e.g. People who have been anwarized may contact the DPM's hotline.
2. 'Badawized' - meaning: to be stupefied ...........e.g. Malaysians seem to be badawized by the media which reports biased news.
3. 'Najibed' - meaning: to be blown to bits .........e.g. In this country, you better be careful with what you say, you can be najibed otherwise.
4. 'Petraed' - meaning: to be exposed ...........e.g. Lately the BN coalition has been petraed in many ways.
5. 'KayJayed' - meaning: to shout for no reason……e.g. He kayjayed in the Dewan and appeared like a moron.
6. 'Balaed' - meaning: to vanish suddenly……………eg. The opposition balaed from the meeting in protest.
7. 'Lingamed' - meaning: to repeat redundantly……e.g. The Information Minister lingamed the same rubbish in the debate recently.
8. 'Soileked' - meaning: to be caught on tape…….e.g. People have stopped using budget hotels as they are afraid of being soileked.
   

A short Malaysian fiction:
Altantuya was cold-bloodedly najibbed after she attempted to petra Najib for anwarising her and not making the promised payments. Razak was badawized into covering up for Najib while Najib balaed from the scene. Razak was actually anwarized. However Najib lingamed that he had nothing to do with it and has been kayjaying on the topic in an attempt to prove his innocence.
Nevertheless, some quarters have been threatening that they have soileked evidence that Najib was involved.

Anwar Promises To End Gestapo-like Regime

08 AUGUST 2008, PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA

Anwar’s press statement

I promise that under a Pakatan Rakyat government Malaysians will never again be subjected to such gross abuse of executive power as we are again witnessing today. Arbitrary arrest and detention, frivolous investigation and malicious prosecutions shall be a thing of the past.

Police officers and prosecutors who launch conspiracies to defame and humiliate the innocent will be severely punished. The use of police powers as well the office of the Attorney General to persecute political opponents will be criminalized so as to ensure a healthy and vibrant democracy where dissent is not only tolerated but nurtured.

In this regard every Malaysian’s fundamental liberties will be treated as sacrosanct and safeguarded by a truly independent judiciary guided by principles of utmost integrity and an adherence to the spirit of the federal constitution.

The politically motivated trial launched against me will, Insha’Allah, be the last of its kind. No Malaysian will suffer from this cruel injustice ever again.

Yesterday’s events confirm my innocence from the charges that recently surfaced. The medical report and statutory declaration by Dr. Osman Abdul Hamid of the Pusrawi Hospital that surfaced on Thursday shatter lingering doubts as to whether the alleged act ever took place. Dr. Osman’s statement also confirms what we have already stated regarding deplorable actions by the police to fabricate evidence in a manner identical to the manipulation of my case in 1998. Anything short of a thorough investigation into the mishandling of this investigation would further tarnish the credibility of the police.

The doctor’s personal safety is a matter of deep concern to us. Material witnesses in highprofile cases in Malaysia have gone missing in the past such as the PI Balasubramanian. I applaud those brave individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to freedom and justice by coming forward with important evidence, and call upon the authorities to ensure their protection.

Yesterday in court we learned that the prosecution’s case has, in a manner similar to the botched trials of 1998, shape-shifted from a charge of assault to one of a consensual act. The conspiracy launched against me in the final week of June 2008 is falling apart. There is a hasty attempt by some to patch up glaring holes in the complainant’s testimony. This will certainly fail given the preponderance of evidence confirming my innocence.

The Prime Minister has actively involved himself in this matter in an attempt to derail the process of transformational change in Malaysia and stave off his own political demise. But in soiling his hands with this sordid matter he has deepened the crisis within his own administration. His most ardent supporters among the Malays have also expressed their disgust with the matter. Furthermore Prime Minister Badawi now faces investigation by the Anti Corruption Agency for his involvement in corruption and money politics.

The shadow of corruption and mismanagement of the economy darkens the legacy of his Premiership. Prime Minister Badawi has still offered no convincing explanation over the huge profits reaped by his family in the Oil For Food scandal at the expense of dying Iraqis.
I advise those around him to leave the sinking ship of his leadership while there is still a chance to do so.

Pakatan Rakyat’s reform agenda is firmly back on track and the New Dawn for Malaysia is well within reach. We will mount a unified campaign to win in Permatang Pauh with a solid majority encompassing that constituency’s diverse population. I look forward to entering Parliament on August 27th with the support of my friends in the coalition.

ANWAR IBRAHIM

*************************************************************

Dear Anwar,

I'm no ardent fan of yours but I'm thrilled to hear that. At last, my fears and concerns would be gone (hopefully?)

However, I have a reminder you. Do not be too fast to make promises. The future is still uncertain. Promises can only be made once the future is certain, otherwise promises will remain as promises, giving excuses after excuses for promises not fulfilled.

Nevertheless, you're my only hope at the moment. I do not know you personally. How good or bad you are is yet to be seen. So I have to give you the benefit of my doubts. But as the saying goes, "an unknown devil is better than a known one".

It's very heartening to hear that:

• arbitrary arrest, detention, frivolous investigation and malicious prosecution will be the thing in the past.
• every Malaysian’s fundamental liberties will be treated as sacrosanct and safeguarded by a truly independent judiciary guided by principles of utmost integrity and an adherence to the spirit of the federal constitution.
• politically motivated trial (such as the one against you now) be the last of its kind.

But you didn't make any "promise" in checking the rampant corruption and mismanagement of the country economy and abuse of power that is bringing the country down. You may have left them out (intentionally or unintentionally?)

To defend Anwar is to defend Malaysian democracy

Excerpts from The Financial Times
By Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Abdurrahman Wahid.

We know Anwar Ibrahim well and have the highest regard for him. For that reason, we are very concerned about recent developments in Malaysia that seem aimed at defaming him and threatening him with imprisonment in a manner reminiscent of the campaign to defame him in 1998.

• [campaign to deframe him - it's clearly evidence here. Inspite of the absence of evidence, as per Dr Osman's report, they went ahead to charge him]

The power to prosecute is one of the most awesome powers of the state. Without proper checks and balances it can easily be abused by those in power to humiliate and discredit innocent people. Even when the injustice is corrected, its victims are often left with their reputations permanently damaged......

• [this is where Malaysia's integrity is being questioned. The power to prosecute is vested in one person who decides on who to prosecute and who not to prosecute. Many questionable cases where the "supposedly guilty" ones get away, but the "not-so-guilty" ones get trapped. If power is vested in one person, he becomes very powerful. The saying "power corrupts and absolutely power corrupts absolutely" runs true.]

In 1974 Mr Anwar was jailed for 20 months, under Malaysia’s notorious internal security act, for leading demonstrations against rural poverty........................................he was unjustly accused of sodomy and corruption, beaten in jail and convicted in a trial that was marked by coerced testimony, fabricated evidence and serious lapses in judicial integrity.

• [internal security act -the draconian law that has been invoked many times to put somebody in Kamunting for 2 years without trial. Though it is claimed to be used for cases involving public order and national security, it's also used to put some political foes away for a while. Isn't that draconian enough?]
• [coerced testimony, fabricated evidence -very evidence in recent times. How Dr Osman of Pusrawi Hospital was coerced to sign the statements in BM which he didn't understand? How certain sentences were included in the statements when they weren't discussed earlier?]
• [serious lapses in judicial integrity - remember the former CJ's New Zealand's holiday trip, lawyer writing judgments for judges, former CJ's dismissal and many more. How to reinstate the judicial integrity when one person is all too powerful, when the executives interfere with the judiciary.

It is not that I'm all for Anwar but I'm truly saddened on seeing how things are happening here in Malaysia, how corrupted they are just to cling on to power, what they do to silence off political foes, how they abuse their power.

Sandra Day O'Cconner, Abdulrahman Wahid and other foreign observers see the way I see it. That's why the seem to be supportive of Anwar. By supporting Anwar, they are telling us that things are very wrong here in Malaysia. They are telling us how rampant corruption and abuse of power are in Malaysia. That being the case, might as well have a Dictator, rather than a Prime Minister.

Wan Azizah quits, Anwar to contest

PETALING JAYA:

Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has resigned as Permatang Pauh Member of Parliament to make way for her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to contest in a by-election.

At a packed press conference at the party headquarters on Thursday, Dr Wan Azizah said the decision was made after deliberations with her family, the PKR leadership and its partners in the Pakatan Rakyat loose coalition of Opposition parties.

"I have officially submitted my resignation as MP to the Parliament Speaker, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, to make way for my husband, Anwar Ibrahim, to contest as a candidate for Pakatan Rakyat in a by-election as soon as possible," she said.

***************************************************

Interesting as well as troubling news.

Interesting because it may determine the landscape of Malaysia political scene.

Interesting because it may determine what Pak "Sleepy" Lah has up his sleeve to handle the resurgence Anwar.

Interesting because it may determine what Musang Hasan and Guni Patail would be doing to Anwar to suck up to his political master.

Interesting because Najis is trembling with fear in anticipation of backlash from the incoming PM.

Troubling because more troubles are in store for ordinary Malaysians.

Troubling because more street demos are to be expected.

Troubling because the lifes of we Malaysians would not change, irregardless of who runs the country.

Report saying Saiful not sodomised

PETALING JAYA:
A medical report purportedly stating there was no medical indication of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan having been sodomised has surfaced on online news portals.

The medical report from Hospital Pusrawi, signed by Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid at 2.14pm on June 28, ruled out that Mohd Saiful was sodomised.

It said there was “zero active bleeding”, “zero ulcer or pus” and “zero tear and scar” in Mohd Saiful's anus."

****************************************************************

This is another example of Malaysia's boleh mentality. Almost everything - under the sun - is possible. Yes, Malaysia boleh - even the most unthinkable of things.

Let's keep our fingers crossed and see what will happen.

This is where things may transform into more interesting accusation of conspiracies & counter-accusations, allegations & counter-allegations and denials.

I'm still confused - same state of mind from Day !. The questions that linger in my head:

1. Was Saiful "sodomized" by a broom stick at the hospital during the "check up"?

2. Would the doctor be coerced to write the report that Saiful was sodomize?

3. Would our police / prosecution and Anwar's political foes resort to such a dirty tactic?

But having known what Malaysia is capable of, if wouldn't be surprising at all.

What BN leaders become suddenly good at?

I can’t help but thinking – All the sudden, BN leaders become good at something. More so after loosing the two-third majority in Parliament, loosing Selangor, Perak, Penang and Kedah to Pakatan and failing to wrest Kelantan from PAS in the March GE.

You know what they are good at? After much observation, I realized that they suddenly become good in giving advices and criticizing. They suddenly become experts in some subject matters, which they clearly lacked when they were in power. They give the rakyat advices after advices. The rakyat must do this and that, the rakyat musn’t do this and that. Better still, they suddenly found a lot of ideas on how to run the governments, especially in the Pakatan-controlled states. The Pakatan governments must do this and that, the Pakatan governments mustn’t do this and that. What is clear is that their criticisms aimed at “teaching” the Pakatan governments, embarrassing them, and hopefully they collapse – far from criticizing them constructively. The irony is that they clearly lacked these knowledge how when they were in power. Even small leaders also become experts nowadays.

What they do and say reflect how badly they wanted to get back to their predecessors. Some of them did or say things to the extent of embarrassing themselves. Some are even desperados. I, for one, would be embarrassed to claim to have voted in these fools before.

Funny, isn’t it? Consider what these experts say.

• “Lim and his state EXCO members should take a pay cut instead of harping about their CAT (competency, accountability and transparency) philosophy. Tell us what social, economic and educational development you are going to bring for the Malays who cannot even afford low-cost housing”, Pinang Tunggal Assemblyman, Roslan Saidin, The Star 25-Jul-08
  
  YB Roslan Saidin – What have you done for the Malays during BN’s reign in Penang for so many decades? Where were the CAT during your time?

• “If that can lead to unity and stability, I’m sure the Chinese and Indian communities will welcome it because stability will lead to the people being able to improve their lives”, Shafie Apdal, Minister of Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage, commenting on the high-level UMNO-PAS dialogues. The Star 23-Jul-08.
  
  YB Shafie – either you’re being naïve or too smart an ass trying to cover up the underlying motive of the dialogue. Don’t you know that that dialogue was smacked with political motive – never been for Malay unity. Your Khir “Tempe” Toyo panicked upon learning that he would be reduced to being an opposition who would “terpekik-terlolong” (insane - making noises here and there without purpose); and that he stooped so low like a small piece of smelly shit offering to be the Deputy MB to Dr Hassan Ali, should PAS accepted the power-sharing with UMNO in Selangor. Luckily, good sense prevailed in PAS.

• “It shows that the present assemblyman either does not have his own ideas or that my questions must be of high quality,” former Keramat Assemblyman, Ong Thean Lye, on his allegation that Sungai Pinang Assemblyman, Koid Teng Guan copied his questions that were raised in the current session. The Star, 23-Jul-08.
  
  Ex-YB Ong Thean Lye – either you and your fellow ex-assemblymen were a bunch of “bo kam guan” (Hokkien words for being a sour grape) fellas for being voted out OR you guys have nothing useful to do, so much so to the extent of coming up with the banner, “DAP’s CAT GOVERNMENT, COPY CAT GOVERNMENT” just to get back at the DAP rep.
  
  If this is yours and your fellow ex-assemblymen’s true mentality, it serves you right for being voted out. In fact, you and your fellow ex-assemblymen should not have been voted in at all. What did you do when in power?

• “But now that they are at the helm, I sincerely hope they will keep their words by putting up such road signs”, Dr. Thor Teong Ghee, former Penang Municipal councillor, who led a group of Gerakan members putting up six road signs in Chinese in Georgetown. The Star, 22-Jul-08.
  
  Dr. Thor Teong Ghee – you and your good-for-nothing buddies are no difference from your ex-YB, Ong Thean Lye – a bunch of “bo kam guan” fellas, whose mission is to embarrass your foe, the DAP but in the process, gets embarrassed instead. You and your bunch of stupid fools show how low a mentality you guys have. If you guys think you are so good, go head on with the DAP professionally. You guys spent party’s money and time for the road signs (or are they free?). You guys have all the time on earth to put up such a low class and stupid show. Pity Gerakan. It was voted out partly because of the mentality and maturity of the “leaders” like you guys. You guys had your chance in the past, but what did you do?

• “You also can’t insist on the IPPs reducing their charge capacity when they are already agreements that allow them to do this. That would mean rescinding on the agreement, something that only kerajaan perompak would do”, Shahrir Samad, Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, rebutting Anwar’s claim that RM2bil could be saved by reducing the country’s 40% electricity buffer to 20%, as the extra capacity only benefited IPPs. The Star, 20-Jul-08.
  
  Pak Shahrir – your statement really embarrasses your government la. It shows how stupid the government is into signing such a loop-sided agreement which favours the IPPs more? Such an agreement shouldn’t have been signed in the first place. This is as clear as the sunny skies, otherwise the government wouldn’t have imposed a windfall tax on the IPPs
  
  Or the government has been misled into signing such as agreement, the motive of which is best known to certain quarters. Well, you may say that these IPPs pay back to the government in the form of windfall tax. But this tax goes direct to the government’s coffers. The rakyat do not enjoy it. In fact the rakyat have been made to pay an additional 26% in the form of electricity tariffs imposed by the TNB. In short, we, the rakyat suffer more for the government’s folly or shortsightedness.
  
  Please Pak Shahrir, you’re my last hope in the current government. Stop stooping so low to please your political masters. You have come a long way. You have sacrificed and suffered a lot in the past. Don’t let your sacrifices and sufferings come to naught, unless you now have become one of them – smacked with personal interest and greed. Stand up on your own and be counted Pak Shahrir.

• “DNA doe not lie. Give your sample and let the expert read it...... If he had gone.... to the Syariah Court, the best thing of him is to give a DNA sample. Why get into further arguments and controversy?”, Syed Hamid Albar, Home Minister, on Anwar’s refusal to give a DNA sample when he was brought to the Hospital Kuala Lumpur for medical examination. The Star, 18-Jul-08.
  
  This Pak Hamid, the Kodomo Lion of UMNO, who thought Anwar was so naïve to submit to the authorities’ whims and fancies. Who are you kidding, Pak Hamid? Even kids know that in Malaysia everything can be fabricated, more so against political foes like Anwar, who you guys were seriously wanting to silence off. Tough luck, Pak Hamid.
  
  Anwar had learnt his lesson well from the 1998 episode. Otherwise, you and your Chemistry Department would have concocted a perfectly-written script to implicate Anwar. The confirmation from your Chemistry Department that the semen found on Saiful’s underwear was that of Anwar’s but where is the proof? Had Anwar given his sample, your much sought-after proof would be unequivocal “found” of Saiful’s underwear, thus putting Anwar away for good – thus taking away the sleepless nights you and your ass-licking colleagues in the Cabinet and UMNO are currently having, as Anwar would no longer giving you guys nightmares.
  
  Come on, Pak Hamid. You’re not dubbed The Kodomo Lion of UMNO for nothing. Continue your play-acting. You’re not bad an actor.

These are just some examples and the list goes on and on. But it’s irony that their motive is none other than to run down the so-called “opposition”. But they overlook the fact that the term “opposition” can only be used sparingly, as one becomes the government in one instance and then becomes an opposition in another instance. One may be the government in Pahang but when one crosses over into Selangor, he becomes an opposition. And these "bo kam guan" bunch of losers suddenly become experts - going all out to critisize other people at all cost - so much so that they forget about going back to governing.

PM okays Merc for T'ganu govt

KUALA TERENGGANU:

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has given his blessings to the state government to use the Mercedes E200 Kompressors as official cars.

Terengganu Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said said this at a press conference here on Friday. Here.

• After all the brohoha, things would return to normal. That's Malaysia. Whatever it's the flip-flop PM will have to give in to Ahmad Said. Ahmad Said will have his way. The PM would not dare to go against the wishes of Ahmad Said, who used to have or still having the support of the royal household.
• The flip-flop PM is ever-prepared to change policies to suit those in power. Do you think he dares to say No to Ahmad Said? Definitely not, especially now that he needs Ahmad's support.
  

Meanwhile, the ACA has started has started a probe into the alleged high costs of maintaining the 16 Proton Perdana V6 Executive cars used by Terengganu executive councillors. Here.

• Something is definitely not right. The maintenance cost for the TS12 (used by Idris Jusoh) between 2004 and 2008 was RM131,449 (if that is the correct figure, not RM235,123 as quoted earlier).
• Where on earth you find the maintenance cost is so high - 30% more than the purchase price of the car.
  

• Again, after all the brohoha, things would return to normal. This is Malaysia, or the BN Govt, to be more accurate. Nothing would happens. Nobody would be charged. This is a foregone conclusion.
  

Trsut me, nothing will happen. Can you imagine if that happens to the Pakatan states? I think it would come under heavy artillery from all the Cabinet ministers, plus that Ali "Syaitan" Rustam, Adnan, the chief gangster from Pahang, the ever foul-mouthed Bung Mokhtar, and everybody from the flip-flop PM's inner circles.

What a sad state of affairs!!!!!

Of Ministers’ stupidity and Police’s dreadful eagerness

Last week was a happening week showcasing Malaysia was at its best in making a mockery of its already badly-bruised reputation. It shows how rampant is the abuse of power and how haphazardly people in power act.

Anwar Ibrahim was arrested for alleged sodomy. Raja Petra Kamarudin was charged with criminal defamation.

It’s not Anwar’s arrest and the charges against Raja Petra that make up the mockery, but the manner they are done. I do not know whether to laugh or cry over it.

Anwar was arrested by ski-mask clad police one hour before his scheduled appointment at KL police headquarters. What? Arrested by ski-mask clad police? I wouldn’t mince a word if Anwar is a militant, terrorist, separatist or a wanted criminal long on the run.

Are they ski-masked as well when apprehending criminals like thieves, robbers, rapists or killer? But Anwar was not even a criminal yet.

Why? Are the police fearful of Anwar’s witch-hunt should he really becomes the PM later on? Only Bakri Zinin, the CID Director has the answer.

But one hour before time!!!! Can a person be detained one hour before he actually commits the crime? Anwar had not broken his promise yet. Or had he? One hour before time?

I had nausea upon reading the answer given by Bakri, who said, “He was arrested as we had reason to believe he was not going to show up at the KL police headquarters”.

Come on Bakri. Do you know what you were talking about? You could do better than that. You are the CID Director, unlike the corporal in Gemas police station. Yes, I would agree in cases involving national security but not in this case. Even if Anwar didn’t turn up at the KL police headquarters at 2 pm as promised, national security was not threatened at all? Why so hastily and inhumanely done? You don’t have to treat him the way you did. He deserved more respect. He’s the former Deputy PM, mind you. You don’t make sense at all, not even cow sense at its lowest.

There is no stopping the police from detaining anybody whenever they have reasons to believe so and so is planning something and something. Whao!!!!

I vomited when Wan Ahmad Farid, the Deputy Home Minister said “What is the difference in 20 or 50 minutes”, when asked why the police had not waited for the 2 pm appointment.

I finally vomited blood when Najib, the Deputy PM said, “Does it make so much difference, another half an hour or 45 minutes”, when asked why Anwar was arrested an hour before he was to report himself to the police.

Oh boy!!! They don’t understand the difference between 20, 30, 45 and 50 minutes.

Even my 2-year old dog can understand it. Such is the level of maturity of our leaders, PM-in-waiting included (no wonder he jumped up and down when Dr. M said he was weak.

For your information, Najib and Wan Ahmad Farid, let me highlight to you the meaning of one minute means (let alone 20, 30, 45 and 50 minutes):

· Many accidents could be avoided in a matter of minutes or even seconds.
· Many lives could be saved in one minute.
· Many babies were born into this world in one minute.
· Many people died in one minute.
· Many products become defective if timing is missed by a minute or even seconds.
· Many crimes take place in a matter of minutes.
· Anwar could have had his fast lunch, refreshed himself and be there at KL police headquarters in 45 or 50 minutes.

I too had reason to believe that police’s high-handedness and intense-eagerness to apprehend Anwar; and Ministers’ insane obsession to justify the police actions further erode the already-low public confidence in them.

An appeal to Anwar Ibrahim

Dear Mr. Anwar,

Before I commence, allow me to make a declaration (not a statutory declaration), but rather a declaration of my own in my capacity as a concerned Malaysian who truly yearn for peace, equity and harmonious society.

• I hereby solemnly and truthfully declare that this appeal is done for the sole purpose of wanting to seek your cooperation in creating an environment whereby all of us loving Malaysian can live a life in a peaceful, equitable, prosperous and harmonious Malaysia.
• I further declare that this declaration is made on my own freewill, in my sound state of mind, without being pressurized or influenced or put under duress by any party.
• I also declare that this declaration is made not that I despise them less, but because I love you more. I can’t bear to see your eyes turning blue black, bruises on your body, your pride battered, your mind tortured and your family depressed and your sanity questioned.

My appeal to you is pretty simple: Drop your political agenda and start a new life as an ordinary Malaysian. Things do not look good for you. And I foresee things would not change in the near or far future for you. Allow me enlighten you a little.

I still don’t understand the cause you are fighting for.
I still don’t know your agenda.
But I know one thing: You don’t know who are you dealing with? Even if you do, you couldn’t careless but bulldozed your way through.

What for? Is it just to satisfy your ego and pride?

Does ego matters very much to you? Does it make you less human with a tainted ego? I am aware that as the Deputy PM, you once were the second most powerful man in Malaysia. I am also aware that as the Finance Minister, the country’s coffers were once under your control. Does it hurt your ego if you accept the fact that you are not there anymore? Does it hurt your ego when you no longer hold power like you did before? Does it hurt your ego to accept the fact that you’re not destined to be the country’s PM in the past, now and in future?

Does pride matters to you as much as ego does to you? Does it make you less human with a battered pride? Your pride was battered when you were removed as the Deputy PM. Your pride was battered when you were no longer in control of the country’s finance. Back to the question: Does pride matters very much to you?

Forget about your ego and pride. They are important but you don’t have to risk your life in defending them. Life is more important than ego and pride combined. Sacrifice your ego and pride for a peaceful life. Live a life as an ordinary man in the street. I believe you would have made enough while in power to last your lifetime or probably a few generations. As an ordinary citizen, you can do a lot of things the Prime Minister can’t. PM doesn’t drink “teh tarik” at the mamak stall. PM doesn’t watch movie in the cineplex. PM doesn’t eat “rojak” or “cendol” by the roadside. PM doesn’t shop in Mid-Valley. PM doesn’t walk around in the park. Yes, you’re right. PM leads a high life. PM dines in fine restaurants. PM watches movie in his private theatre. PM eats caviar, not rojak. PM shops in London, Paris or Milan. But you were there before. You experienced them before. You already had your time. Now is Pak Lah and Najib’s turn.

Why are you turning it into your personal vendatta? You’re angry with the government but you’re putting many people’s lives at risk. Who are you against? Don’t you know who are you up against? You are not against Pak Lah alone. You are not against Najib alone. You are up against Pak Lah, Najib, the Cabinet and the Dewan Rakyat and the entire government machinery. Who or what you are in control? Only your supporters, who will quiet down once a couple of the outspoken ones are “silenced”. Your supporters will desert you once they see nothing is in store for them any longer.

Is there any way you can win? No way. You are up against the Boss – the person-in-charge, as simple as that. There is no way one can win against the boss and his honchos.

They control the police. The police can plant evident against you. The police can fabricate evident against you. The police can plant witnesses against you.

They control the prosecution. The prosecution can slap whatever charges against you. They can make all sorts of allegations against you.

They control the courts. Do you think they will accord you fair trial?

They control the hospitals. Whatever medical tests done on you will be as instructed; and will be in their favour.

They control the armed forces. They control the entire government machinery. They can detain you. They can put you on trials. They can put you behind bars.

Then at Sungei Buloh, Kamunting or anywhere? Don’t you think the wardens are under their control as well?

You haven’t forgotten you were there before, have you? You should know as you were there once. You used to be in their shoes. You used to do what they are doing now. There is no way for you.

It hurt me real bad, if a leader of your stature, has his eyes turned blue black, his 61-year old body badly bruised, his pride further battered, his mind tortured, and his family deeply depressed. They may declare you insane or even make you one.

So my appeal to you is to stop your political agenda. Things really do not look good for you. The odds are heavily-stacked against you. They are going all out to nab you. Never mind if you are right and they are wrong. Forgive them. And pray that they will be forgiven too. Find solace in Allah. Be more submissive to Him. He knows best. Truth will prevail eventually.

Hence this appeal is not because I despise them less but because I love you more.

Speaker says ‘No’ to no-confidence motion

Kuala Lumpur: Monday, 14-July-2008:

The emergency motion of no-confidence moved by Opposition Leader, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail has been rejected by the Speaker, Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia.

**************************************************

• It’s expected, as never in Malaysian history has the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat allowed any motion of no-confidence against the Prime Minister or any other motion that makes the BN government “loses face”.
• Well, not exactly actually. The Speaker would allow any motion to increase MPs allowance. The Speaker would allow any motion to dispel any errant opposition MP. The Speaker would allow any motion to discuss rice shortage but never any motion of no-confidence against the Prime Minister or sort of. This is a fact that Dr. Azizah and other opposition MPs must understand and accept.
• She must also understand that the Speaker comes from the ruling party; and is politically-obliged to fulfill the agenda of his political masters. What’s more his political career was somewhat over, and was plucked from obscurity to become the Speaker by the PM. And who in this materialistic world would want to put his job on the line by allowing such a motion. In fact if the Speaker comes from PKR or DAP, he would have acted in the same manner. This is a fact of life, dear Dr. Azizah.
• Motion is allowed if it meets 3 criteria: is specific, of public interest and is urgent. So far, motions to set up a royal commission to probe allegations made against politicians; and to discuss Raja Petra Kamarudin’s statutory declaration over the purported new evidence on Altantuya’s murder are not specific, not of public interest and not urgent.
• In fact all motions moved by the Opposition would never be specific enough, not of public interest and not urgent enough.

No-confidence notice filed

The Star, 11 July 2008

IN AN unprecedented move, the Opposition has submitted a notice to the Dewan Rakyat to debate on an emergency motion of no-confidence against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his Cabinet.

Opposition Leader Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail filed the motion at the Speaker’s office at 3.45pm, accompanied by other Pakatan Rakyat leaders including PKR vice-president Azmin Ali, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang and PAS secretary-general Datuk Kamaruddin Jaafar.

“We have met with the Speaker to explain our reasons and we will leave it to him to decide on whether to allow the motion,” she said, adding that the motion would also heighten the feeling that the country needed a change.

*************************************

• Very interesting development we Malaysians have been waiting for – not that we are anti-establishment, but because we care for the establishment (irregardless of whoever runs it).

• An acid test for Pak Lah and team.

• Most probable scenario:

1. The Speaker will disallow the motion, which he or other Speakers before him did – as any motion against the Government has never been given the go-ahead (Speakers are from the Government, remember?).
2. If it’s allowed (but I’m dead certain that it won’t), it will decide who gets to lead the country.
3. If it’s allowed (but I’m dead certain that it won’t), the House won’t pass it, as Najib, as the BN Chief Whip, will whip up the BN MPs nice and proper before the debate on the motion (you know la all BN MPs are selfish, greedy and possess no balls.
4. If it’s allowed (but I’m dead certain that it won’t), how is the Opposition going to garner enough support (SAPP’s support is now questionable).
5. Status quo remains. The Opposition will still be barking like a dog; whilst Pak Lah gets to get back to his usual sleeping posture - irregardless of at the official functions or not; days or nights.

Decision not up to AG

The Star, 8-July-08

Attorney General Ab Gani Patail will not be the one to decide whether to go ahead with prosecution if the ACA probe against him finds that there is a case, says Nazri Aziz.

******************************

Whatever said and done, nothing is seen yet. Nazri (or other) may say anything but it goes to show how absurd our systems is when the power to decide to prosecute (or not) is vested in one man, i.e. the AG; and now he himself is under probe.

If they are serious enough to redeem their lost credibility, suspend both the AG and IGP so that they can't meddle with the investigations. Take heed of what others from out of Malaysia are doing. No need the US. Just South Korea will do.

What is the probably scenario? Since there is already a public outcry, the ACA (or Government) would have no choice but to find that there is a case and thus he (together with the IGP) prosecuted. But………..again, the court would find them not guilty as the prosecution lacked evidence.

This is our very-own Malaysia-boleh mentality. Anything also can………….Take look at Yong Teck Lee and his SAPP. Yesterday, we have no confidence. Today, just wait and see first. Tomorrow, we have full confidence. Then the probe against him will be stopped or the ACA will say “there is no case”.

The outcomes are already pre-determined. The scripts are the same.

Sunday’s opposition protest a failure, says Najib

The Star, 8-July-08

Najib described Sunday’s “One Million People Protest Rally” organized by the opposition in PJ as a failure. The rally was to protest against the fuel price hike.

Hooray. Kudos to Najib and Pak Lah. The protest was a failure. You won. The opposition lost. It shows that the rakyat finally approved of the fuel price hike.

Otherwise, Najib wouldn’t be so proud to say that the Sunday’s opposition protest was a failure. Once again, congratulations Najib. Job well done. Keep it up, Mr. Ex-future PM-in waiting.

Between Anwar Ibrahim and Saiful Bukhari

Whao!!!

My cold sweat rolled down when I heard that both Anwar Ibrahim and Saiful Bukhari were prepared to swear on the Quran over the sodomy allegations.

It's not that I hate Anwar more and love Saiful less or love Anwar more and hate Saiful less (borrowing the famous quote from the other Anwar - Annuar Musa during the heydays of the Mahathir-Tengku Razaleigh crisis) but I don't want to lose either one of them. They are great actors; and with the PI, P.Balasubramaniam, they make a threesome - the 3 stooges of the Malaysia's political drama.

Now they want to prove they are telling the truth by swearing on the Quran. But there can't be two rights, right?. Definitely one of them is a liar. The question is who?

Whoever is telling the truth or lying, we are bound to lose one of them. Losing them? I mean losing them to HELL.

Swearing on the Quran is a not a "play thing". It's a very very serious act, and is not a show just to prove one's is right. The one who is lying shall face the wrath of Allah SWT.........possibly in HELL.

It's either Anwar or Saiful. Whao..........that is cool.

Between a Moderate PAS and an Extremist UMNO

This,

“The state government has no plans to penalize the Sungai Rapat assemblywoman, Hamidah Osman for her racist remarks during the recent state assembly. Menteri Besar Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin said Hsmidah had already apologized many, many times and felt that all Perakians should accept her apology”......The Star, 7-July-2008

Or,

At a seminar on Penghayatan Bangsa Melayu at SM Teknik near Kuala Kangsar, Nazri Aziz said that a MB or PM was duty bound to uphold Malay interest. Even if he is a socialist or even a communist, the MB or PM is entrusted to fulfill the social contract agreed upon by the nation’s forefathers.......The Star, 7-July-2008

Malaysians, you have a choice.

One is a PAS leader, a very moderate one, who is prepared to work with others for the sake of the nation; and whose sound judgment and good sense prevail;

Against another,

who is a Cabinet member but talks along the racist line, as though he’s a kampong, uneducated UMNO leader of the lowest hierarchy, who sometimes doubles up as a gangster, a maintenance officer and a housekeeper.
