Back.

This blog will come to life again, soon.

The 13th General Election.

Najib Razak's succession cannot come in any other worse times.

He would start his succession as the 6th prime minister of Malaysia, filled and tainted with serious allegations which he is keeping quiet over it. The previous 5 prime minister started fresh and as fresh as it can be.

If he managed to become the prime minister comes March 2009, which is just about 2 months away, decides to call for the 13th general election at the end of 2009, means only one thing, he wants a fresh mandate, perhaps a historical mandate like what Abdullah Ahmad Badawi received based on countless of high hopes promises. But then again, that may be a very big mistake for him to do so because of all the allegations which he have yet to answer and still keeping quiet over it and believe majority of the people is waiting to throw him away at the end of 2009, if he decides to call for a general election then. A very high risk gambling game for him.

If he decides to wait until 2011 to 2012 before he call for the 13th general election, basically means he wants to perform 1st and then allow people to gauge his performance for the next 3-4 years and vote based on that. This way is also a very high risk gamling game for him, simply because it just don't make sense for him to become a prime minister when he have so many unanswered allegations with him, it's just bad for the country as a whole. Another question would be, with all the internal squabble within UMNO, can he sustain that long?. Let's leave this as a different topic.

In another word, early general election is risky for him and late general election is also risky for him. Najib Razak's succession certainly cannot come in any worse times.

Optimistic.

Despite what is going on in the Kuala Terengganu by-election, I am optimistic about a victory for Pakatan Rakyat. A Pakatan Rakyat victory means a victory for the people.

Although I can make it to Kuala Terengganu physically which I really want to, I have been following up on the by-election very closely via the blogs and the mainstream media, the latter was all about how good Barisan Nasional is, how effective is Barisan Nasional is, how nice is Barisan Nasional is, etc., I think all those are nothing but utter rubbish. After much comparing between blogs, mainstream media and reports from the ground, I sense another wind of change is gonna take place. Perhaps, it will be bigger than the worse monsoon weather people in Kuala Terengganu ever experienced, just that this is a wave of change, for the better.

I am still optimistic about at least a 2.5k majority victory for Pakatan Rakyat.

Why Buy Lies?.

Why pay the 'yes-sirs' spin doctors your hard earned money?

Why pay for lies?

Why support people who tell lies?

Why not read blogs which is telling you the truth?

Some people say, we can take the newspapers to be used as toilet papers, but that would be really a pain is the ass.

Stop buying lies and stop feeding lapdogs.

Kuala Terengganu.

If Permatang Pauh was billed as the mother of all by-elections, Kuala Terengganu can perhaps be billed as the grandmother of all by-elections.

The outcome of this by-election is more important than any by-elections Malaysia ever had, perhaps in the history of Malaysia since 1957.

We cannot allowed Barisan Nasional (read: UMNO) to win this by-election simply because of Najib Razak, he is scheduled to take over the helm comes March 2009 and by giving PAS a crushing vistory, this will somehow put a dent or 2 into Najib Razak's reputation, the people of Kuala Terengganu must prove that he is a failure and people do not want him to be a prime minister, let's send out the loudest message possible.

Besides the valid reason mentioned above, we must also not let UMNO to puzzle back their cracks together. Without a doubt UMNO is in a mess now, let them messed up further with their lost in Kuala Terengganu, let them continue with their the internal fights with their lost in Kuala Terengganu and let their up and coming general assembly be a futile one. It's time to really put an end to whatever they are doing and let the raping of the people and robbing from the people stops, in Kuala Terengganu.

On the other hand, PAS must win it for the government-in-waiting, Pakatan Rakyat. I believe the wind of change from 8th March 2008 which blew 'changes' to the entire country will continue to blow in Kuala Terengganu, like how it did in Permatang Pauh.

The Pakatan Rakyat must continue to work as hard as possible for the next 2 weeks or so to ensure that the mouths from UMNO will be shut on 17th January 2009 night and tell them that, "Look, we did not receive the crushing victory in Permatang Pauh because that was Anwar Ibrahim's 'homeground' and we had the advantage, etc.. We did it again in Kuala Terengganu which is a level playing ground and we received this crushing majority is purely because the people wanted change and changes for the better for all".

PAS to win by 2,500 in Kuala Terengganu, anyone?.

Najib Razak To Lead The Country, No Way!

I would rather Abdulah Ahmad Badawi to stay on as the prime minister than Najib Razak becoming the prime minister.

I would rather to have an alleged homosexual as my prime minister than an alleged masterminder who use C4 explosives to get rid of someone and with so many unsolved issues with him as my prime minister.

Please do what you can, signing this petition will be a good option ;

Thank You. Dedicating My 400th Posting To Raja Petra Kamaruddin.

I am dedicating this 400th posting of mine to Raja Petra Kamaruddin, founder and editor of Malaysia Today (http://malaysia-today.net/).


Sir,

Thank You.

You fought and still fighting,
To what is right and what belongs to the people without a blink,
You struggle and still struggling,
To teach the nation in order for them to continue learning,
You shed tears and still crying,
To expose the truth and the lies inside the closet hiding,
You shed blood and still bleeding,
To make Malaysia a nation worth a living,
You write and still writing,
To sent irresponsible and incompetent leaders shivering,
You said and still saying,
On behalf of the people that the current ruling government stink,
You proclaimed and still proclaiming,
The justice, the truth and the freedom or speaking.
(TT - 29th August 2008)

Thank you RPK!.

Anwar Ibrahim Welcomed With Arms Wide Open.

Welcome back Sir.

Anwar Ibrahim took his oath on 28th August 2008 at approx 1005 hours immediately after prayer recitals at the parliament and made the parliamentary opposition leader with immediate effect.


Let's get down to business which brings benefit for the people which you have promised in your manifesto, etc..


I am looking forward to a fairer, a colour blind and a prosperous Malaysia, most of all I am really looking forward to a Malaysia which practice the real meaning of democracy.

Cyber Troopers Flooring The Accelerator?.

Told you injured animals are more dangerous, perhaps desperate too.

The cyber troopers thing is just so sickening!.

The block came too soon after the Permatang Pauh, Penang by-election. It also made it extremely obvious that the government is going all out on clamping down the bloggers.

Jeff Ooi nailed it, ""But MCMC cannot prosecute RPK while these cases are being disposed by the Bench. By so doing, MCMC is sucking up to their paymasters at Putrajaya."" (http://www.jeffooi.com/2008/08/mcmc_should_be_hanged.php).

P/s ; Simple mathematics, you create more fear and more unnecessary rules and regulation, the more votes you are going to lose.

The Injured Animals Are the Dangerous Ones.

When an animal is injured, it would perhaps pounce on anything that crosses their path. If their infected wound is not being attended with proper care and suitable medication, their infected wound will be infested with maggots and in no time the maggots grow and grow and grow.

I am no saying UMNO people are like animals, am using the same kind of example to it, but if you decide that UMNO people are like animals, then that's your personal opinion.

As reported, ""It is time to face the music: it is we who have been buried," he said."

As reported, ""Our leadership is rejected by the rakyat and, moreover, is rejected by our own members. BN's vote count was less than the number of Umno members in the constituency.""

I think Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah said it best, he is one of the alright ones in UMNO and coming from a veteran in UMNO, I think people should take his advise seriously.

As reported, ""This is a second time that the Malaysian people have given a clear message, with the first at the general elections. It is a rejection of the present leader and he must leave now.""

Mukhriz Mahathir, you still dont' get it, it's not only because of the present leader in UMNO only that UMNO lost, it's the entire UMNO.

People are fed-up with the 'Ketuanan Melayu' racial nonsense that UMNO is preaching, people is fed-up with the abuse of power in UMNO, people is fed-up with the corruption in UMNO, people is fed-up with the arrogance and poor attitude of UMNO and perhaps most of all, people is fed-up with the 'loudest' in UMNO, Khairy Jamaluddin, that is. Do consider Khairy Jamaluddin is one of UMNO's downfall too.

Look deep into the problem, analyse it, discussed on it and solved it for the betterment of the people. Don't only know how to blame the leader, eventhough the leader is at fault. Take it as a team.

Yes, you may say the project managers in The Apprentice by Donald Trump received most of the firing, but that's not necessary all the time you get that. You may get a very good leader for that particular project, but if the team screw up, the team manager is screwed too!. Take it as a team

The 'wind' from 8th March 2008 is still blowing strongly, be it whether it's Arif Shah or Najib Razak or even Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who contested against Anwar Ibrahim would be ousted. If it was a 2-ways fight, even an independent candidate may be able to put up a good challenge. Come to think about it, not only against Anwar Ibrahim will they lose in Permatang Pauh, they would lose it anywhere with whoever anyhow, anytime!

P/s ; Having said that, in no way I am feeling pitiful.

Thank You People Of Permatang Pauh, Penang.

Congrats and thank you to the people of Permatang Pauh. For once in a long time I am looking actually looking forward to celebrate Merdeka!. Thank you people of Permatang Pauh!.

As reported, "9.50pm: Official EC tally - Anwar Ibrahim got 31,195 votes, Arif Shah Omar Shah, 15,524, Hanafi Hamat, 92. Anwar won with a majority of 15,671.

Anwar's wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, won the seat with a 13,398 majority at the March 8 general election.

The official voter turnout was 81.01 percent. There were 58,459 registered voters. The final voter turnout figure was much higher than what the EC had stated earlier today.

There were 447 spoilt votes and 98 unreturned ballot papers.

The turnout today is slightly higher than March 8.

Meanwhile, outside the main counting centre Tuanku Bainun Teaching Institute, thousands of jubilant PKR supporters had gathered to embrace their leader's return to Parliament.

PKR vice-president Azmin Ali was there to address the crowd numbering some 10,000. Other party leaders like R Sivarasa and Tian Chua were also there.

Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang and PAS' Husam Musa were also there.

Anwar also addressed the ecstatic group of supporters, thanking voters for their support.

"I thank God who has been with me through this gruelling election process. I thank the voters," Anwar said as he arrived at the counting centre where some 10,000 supporters were holding a wild celebration.

"The message is clear... we have made a demand for change, for freedom and for justice," he said. "The people do not want to be exploited. We want an economic order that protects all the people."

Hundreds of riot police stood guard and a helicopter hovered overhead as the crowd gathered on a field outside the building, chanting "Putrajaya! Putrajaya!" - the name of the administrative capital and the seat of government.

"This is a clear indication that people of all races have rejected the communal politics of Barisan Nasional. It is a clear endorsement of our reform agenda. We are on track to take over the government," said Anwar.

Tian said that the overwhelming victory showed that "the prime minister's racial politics is bankrupt".

The EC made the official announcement at 10.05pm. Only Anwar and Hanafi were present at the announcement. Also present was Wan Azizah.

Hanafi, who was gracious in his embarrassing defeat, said he was not disheartened by the lack of votes for him as he has succeeded in his aims to promote his little known party. He lost his deposit with the low votes he garnered."

The landslide majority victory Anwar Ibrahim received CLEARLY shows that race based politics is dead, 'Ketuanan Melayu' nonsense is long gone, people want abuse of power to stop, people want to eradicate poverty, people cannot tolerate any longer on corruption and so many other stuffs which people want to put an end to it and start fresh with the 'Ketuanan Rakyat' policies.

I am really thankful for the Permatang Pauh voters who helped to kick-start to the new dawn for Malaysia. Thank you!

The Real Journey To Putrajaya Begins Today, Via Permatang Pauh.

Lately, we often hear things like, the whole country don't bother to do anything but focus on Permatang Pauh by-election, the whole country is on hold because of Permatang Pauh by-election, etc.. Yes, indeed it is, that's the fact!. The people, especially the sane and responsible ones, wants to know where Malaysia will be heading to after 51 years of independence.

Although am not there personally to witness the history, but I am following up the entire by-election via Malaysiakini, phone calls and smses, from this morning, I dare say looking, hearing and understanding the current situation, Anwar Ibrahim is very likely to be the new Permatang Pauh Member of Parliament. Of course, when he wins, I hope he wins with a crushing majority and wins it in style.

Another fact is, when Anwar Ibrahim step into parliament, many of them would start packing their bags and start leaving the country as one of the many options. Mahathir Mohamad plans to migrate too.

To the people of Permatang Pauh ;

Please help to kick-start the 'Ketuanan Rakyat' policies.

Please help to kick-start the journey towards the real meaning of 'Bangsa Malaysia'.

Please help to put an end to all the racial policies.

Please help to put an end to all the marginasation.

Please help to put an end to all the corrupt practices.

Please help to put an end to all the heartache the people is facing with the Barisan Nasional (read : UMNO) governance.

Let us all crush and bury Barisan Nasional (read : UMNO) once and for all!.

Ng Yen Yen, You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself.

As the Permatang Pauh, Penang by-election fiery campaigning period is coming to an end, the 'rewards' from Barisan Nasional (read : UMNO) also intensifies.

As reported, "This afternoon, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Dr Ng Yen Yen openly handed out envelopes containing RM200 to 156 Chinese elderly at a function in Permatang Pauh."

As reported, "According to her, it was a mere coincidence that the financial aid came in at the sensitive time of the by-election. She added that it was an annual activity organised by the foundation."

Mere coincidence eh?. What a lie, you should be ashamed of yourself in engaging in money politics. Also, all of the beneficiaries were required to fill up a form, submit a photocopy of their identify card and had the thumb prints taken three times on a form. Filling up forms and submitting a photocopy of their indentity card is understandable, but what's with the thumb print must be taken until 3 times?. Don't treat the people as criminals, or was that to ensure those who accepted your 'generosity' must vote for your corrupted and racist party, if they don't you can use their details/thumb prints to track them down?.

26th August 2008 Is A Special Holiday In Penang, Malaysia.

Yes, indeed it is!.

Think the Election Comissi0n in Malaysia (EC) may have fogotten that who is governing Penang at the moment when they decided to announce the polling day for the Permatang Pauh, Penang by-election. *chuckle*.

Also, I find it very funny Barisan Nasional (read : UMNO) leaders is condemning that 26th August 2008 which is a Tuesday is a special holiday in Penang. *more chuckling*.

To the people of Permatang Pauh, Penang, ALL of you are perhaps the 'destiny-maker' for the entire Malaysia. Do what is right and cast your votes responsibly, let's send Anwar Ibrahim to parliament for the betterment of Malaysia!.

DAP 15th National Congress.

The entire proceedings was fully opened to the media. It was a posh, a big and an organised one, next venue to be held in Putra World Trade Center (PWC)/Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC)?.

A total of approx 739 delegates out of a total of aprox 948 elegible delegates from all over Malaysia elected the 20 Central Executive Committee (CEC) members. Most of the old CEC members retained and 2 fresh faces introduced through the election, plus a couple of young blood nominated.

Few notable issues was mentioned, discussed and/or noticed through out the 2 days congress, in no particular order ;

- A firm 'NO' to theocratic state.

- DAP is committed in working with the Pakatan Rakyat.

- DAP wants more Malays to join them.

- Having good and valid principle is a must of each and every party's member.

- Anwar Ibrahim have changed and he is the middle man for DAP and PAS.

- DAP is looking forward to a new 8 to 9 story headquarters in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

- Tunku Aziz joined DAP and appointed as one of the party vice-chairmen.

Bapak Borek, Anak Rintik - Like Father, Like Son.

Disgusting scene from Permatang Pauh, Penang.

A case of bapak borek, anak rintik - like father, like son case?.

When will they ever learn?. *sigh*.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, What Is Your Intention?.

I don't really want to use rubbish from the Main Stream Media (MSM), but since Malaysiakini and many others did not send their reporters to cover this event, I will have to use article from a rubbish bin.

I find it very funny when I glanced through The Star main page this morning when am on the way to work, out of curiousity I flipped throguh couple of pages on it because of the main page, there's this huge photo of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi waiting for Komuter with the rest of the public and some articles on it.

Just wondering what is his intention of doing that since he have his transport minister to do so?.

- To show even he takes the public transport?.
- To show the caring side of him?.
- To explore his new found hobby?.
- To show he is a responsible prime minster?.
- To conduct a round of spot check like how he did to the immigartion department some time back?.
- To know the needs of the people?.
- To experience the sardine packed transportation?.
- To confirm the claims of public transportation in Malaysia is horrible?.

Honestly, I think it is a good move by him, IF he does that often. No time?. Then, manage the time properly.

Don't do that once every few years, do it once every 2 months or so and get to the ground and know, talk, speak and discuss with the people. Those people who take the public transport everyday in their life are the bosses and you have been elected to be their leader, be a responsible and caring one.

P/s ; Not only the transportation that needs to be looked at, there are many other sectors too.

The Good-For-Nothing Son-In-Law.

As reported, ""We are here to bury Anwar’s political career. We are here to make history to ensure our nation’s future is free and safe from him!" he thundered to loud cheers from those present.".

I chuckle when i read this. I am not surprise is he keeps on with some more of his 'kurang ajar' antics from him as Permatang Pauh, Penang campaigning period going full steam ahead.

Who is Khairy Jamaluddin anyway totell what people needs to do and what people need not to do?. He was part the Barisan Nasional (read : UMNO) downfall on 8th March 2008 and yet he did not realise that. Well, at least his immediate boss apologise publicly though.

To call him a 'samseng' is degrading to the real 'samsengs'.

Lim Guan Eng vs Koh Tsu Koon Debate.

Debate title, "Kisah Benar Kontroversi Tanah di Pulau Pinang" (The True Story Behind the Land Controversy in Penang).

Watched it live in the auditorium, it was quite stuffy and hot.

It was an interesting debate and 1 hour is definitely not enough.

Approx 5-6 land scandals was mentioned, but only concentrated on 1. I was actually looking forward to hear the debate on Penang Global City Centre (PGCC), as this issue was one of the issues mentioned.

Overall, I think Lim Guan Eng did well and Koh Tsu Koon did well too, thin the latter did pretty well as to not expose who is behind all this, perhaps to look after UMNO's interest?.
