Equally Corrupt

Each time there is a by-election, BN/UMNO will bring in lots of money there in the name of development and donations to help spur local economy.

Each time there is a by-election, Malaysia DPM will be visiting the constituency and telling jokes.

Each time the DPM open his mouth and tells jokes, he sure spills funny beans... often the beans are seeds of hatred.

This time, the topic is about equality in BN alliance.

Errr... anyone still remember about the choosing of BN candidate for P094 Hulu Selangor by-election?

Remember the DPM override the choice of the entire MIC party?

Ok, perhaps that is UMNO's definition on EQUALITY.

By inference, you should be able to guess its definition on democracy.

DPM: All are equal in Barisan

SIBU: All Barisan Nasional parties, including those from Sarawak, are equal partners who practise power-sharing, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

“We are brothers, equals in Barisan. They (the Opposition) like to say that Umno is the big bully in the BN but this is not true. It's a big lie to say that Umno bullies other component parties.” he told reporters after a dialogue with teachers and parents at SK Agama Sibu here Monday.

He said just because Umno had more seats in parliament compared to other component parties, it did not mean that the party would sideline their coalition partners.

On calls to raise the oil royalty for Sarawak, Muhyiddin said the Opposition was playing up the issue for political mileage in this Sunday's by-election.

“I have asked the state leaders if the oil royalty was an issue, they said no because the oil royalty is as stated in the constitution,” he said.

One of DAP's seven-point manifesto for the Sibu by-election was to increase Sarawak's oil royalties 5% to 20% if the party and Pakatan Rakyat became the government at the federal level.

Muhyiddin, who is Education Minister, said Pakatan could never be a sustainable government like Barisan because parties within the Opposition alliance had different political ideologies.

In Barisan, he said all parties helped each other and shared a common aspiration to better the nation.

“Pakatan is not sustainable. It's very shaky and the leader, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, is having a lot of personal problems and court cases,” he pointed out.

Hulu Selangor P94

Dust settled... result was in.

The corrupt won the battle by spending huge amount on Malaysian's tax money, YET they have nothing to be proud of. They know it well, and the cost of their win (so they called it victory) is enormous.

PR supporters and comrades,

Don't lose hope. You lost a battle, not the war.

You have countless of battles to fight on, and the next one -- Sibu.

And, the next one, next one, next one...

With all your persistence and courage, we will win the war!

Hulu Selangor — Anwar Ibrahim

APRIL 26 — I thank the workers and volunteers from Pakatan Rakyat including our friends in DAP and PAS who supported our candidate in Hulu Selangor, Datuk Zaid Ibrahim.

Tens of thousands of Malaysians joined us to show the people of Hulu Selangor that Pakatan Rakyat is committed to a Malaysia where all of its citizens have the right to peace, justice, and prosperity. I am thankful for the tremendous support you have shown.

Your commitment to change is commendable.

One setback shall not divert us from our goal. Any change worth making is hard and will be fought at every turn. While it doesn’t take away the sting of this loss, there is no road to real change without setbacks along the way.

Over RM100 million was spent by BN to win a thin majority in Hulu Selangor: that amounts to RM65,000 per person. Dozens of ministers campaigned every day; the Election Commission appears guilty once again of violating its mandate to ensure fair elections; and the police intimidated our supporters and there are reports that they even prevented some voters from reaching the polling stations.

This means that Barisan Nasional has learned nothing since the March 2008 election. Character assassination, racism, bribery and brute force may help to win one or two by-elections. But the people of Malaysia will not be deceived.

Our country still faces the same challenges which cannot be resolved by dirty politics or a few catchy slogans. The economy is lagging, jobs are scarce and our education system remains mediocre at best.

We must do more to address the plight of the poor and marginalised people throughout Malaysia. And we must bring credibility back to the Federal government as we have started to do in the Pakatan States.

We increased our popular support in Hulu Selangor. We know we have to do more to reach out to our supporters in the rural heartland, particularly the Felda settlements. I am committed to this challenge and my resolve is unwavering.

Let us look ahead to the next contest and work to bring change to Sarawak.

Licking up!

Shit! What is this fella doing? He's licking up!

“Kiss his hand? When did I kiss his hand? Show me where I did that,” he exclaimed, looking miffed when asked at an unplanned press conference in Ladang Kerling near here.

Errr... What are you doing here in this photo then?

Or... may be he was not kissing... but licking!

“I have been in the MIC for 26 years. I am not someone new in the system. I know what needs to be done,” he firmly said.

Oh Yes! He knows exactly how to kiss and suck up to be an obedient lapdog.

And can you readers see the difference of the two photos above?

So, how can you support and vote for someone who did all these?

• defended the ultra racist PERKASA, [which against 1Malaysia]
• licked the hand of "Malay 1st, Malaysian 2nd" DPM, and [which against 1Malaysia]
• betrayed his own community [also against 1Malaysia]

The Chinese Lapdogs

How a lap dog show their acts when squeezed by their master?

But it is even shameful to compare these people to dogs, as dogs are cute animals. Though Muslims shun dogs, but that is different.

Here you witness yet again, how the Chinese MCA leaders continue to kiss and suck up to their puppet master just to get some spilled crumbs... hoping to be UMNO's super-cronies. Pathetic!

""It's not easy for us. Every time we enter a new village, we got scolded. Therefore, we have to improve our strategy by getting more leaders from the MCA divisions throughout the country to help us," said a grassroot leader."

Do they even realise why they get scolded?

""We have not received much support from the Chinese community, but with the 1Malaysia and other policies introduced by the PM, we hope to change their feelings. There are small groups among the Chinese community who are backing the PM and we hope these groups will grow bigger by polling day," Liow said."

Hello! MCA is no longer relevant to your Chinese folks. And what is 1Malaysia? "Malay First, Malaysian Second"

"Besides organising dinners, they have alo engaged the Chinese voters through what they term as "sembang petang" (evening chats) with small groups of about 15 to 20 voters in the Chinese new villages. "

They still think the voters are dummies that giving out some candies and sweets, they can charm the voters into submission?

"MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said national as well as local leaders would meet them to explain the government's policies, the 1Malaysia spirit and the need to speed up the implementation of fairer policies by Najib."

Ha ha... and where is your celebrity Porn Star President? Why is he not showing his face?

BUT, the crucial question remains... while MCA claimed to support the removal of ISA and UMNO determined to keep it, so why MCA continues to suck up to UMNO?

It must be like MIC, where UMNO is the master who decides on MIC candidates.

An Indian now defending the racist PERKASA?

It is very sad to hear that an Indian candidate (from MIC) who is sucking up to the powerful.

And it is probably of his action, he gets the nomination from the ultra UMNO to be BN candidate for Hulu Selangor seat.

MIC and Samy Vellu failed miserably in defending their own choice of candidate (even with an Ultimatum to DPM Muhyiddin), with UMNO playing hardball in the choosing. So much for the equal partnership in BN coalition.

Malaysian Indians have been marginalised by UMNO for over half century, and will continue to be with Indians who sell their souls.

"Kamal’s defence of this ultra movement is untenable but not unexpected as after all, this is a candidate who said that he would “take back the federal seat and deliver it to Prime Minister Najib Razak as gift for his first year in office.” Like a housecat dragging in an offering of a captured mouse.

Hold Your Hourse

Make sense?

Sounds right as witnessed all these while what the UMNO "grassroots" had done in discrediting those not in sync with their top brass. You be the judge.

"As the shootout for Hulu Selangor draws near, the dirty campaign of UMNO has begun in full swing. Predictably, UMNO are not focusing on the issues of the rakyat. UMNO are focused on the only thing they know, and that is: to spread lies and misinformation."

"On the 16th of October 2004, I was charged for money politics. I found this charge to be utterly ridiculous, because I won the seat uncontested. There was no opponent. So, how could I be charged for money politics, when there is no contest? But within UMNO, I guess anything is possible."

Any Body, So Long As...

"I suggest you all to take a back seat and think with a clear mind logically. What is the root cause for such economical divide. There are rich Indians and poor ones, same goes for rich Malays and poor ones and so forth. By forcing PR to appoint an Indian as their rep for Hulu Selangor, I find it an absurd move. Me as a Malaysian First and an Indian second, does not condone such calls nor do I support it. I stick to my claims that any Malaysian rep who can execute the tasks and resolve the multi-racial constituency problems and issues will get my vote.

By Babulal

A Malaysian First, an Indian Second

"

"There are many areas where under BN control villages have been demolished without any compensation in the past and no one could voice out due to their monopoly and intimidating political ways and it involved Malays, Indians, Chinese, Sabahans, Sarawakians, etc .... not only Indians – but all races in Malaysia have had in some point in time been bullied by BN."

Stabbing your Boss... Oops!

Discrediting 1Malaysia

Muhyiddin just did a disservice to his boss, Najib’s 1Malaysia. Contrasting glaringly to “People First” in 1Malaysia slogan, (which commonly interpreted as treating all Malaysians fairly,) Muhyiddin declared he is “Malay First, Malaysian Second”.

Muhyiddin’s admission to and declaration of being "Malay First" contemplating to the fact that government will continue to place preferential treatments and priorities to Malays over other races in Malaysia.

Najib's 1Malaysia slogan, will therefore, remains just a slogan, without the support from his deputy.


Malay First, Malaysian Second

"I am Malay first but being Malay doesn't mean I am not Malaysian," said Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.


So, this confirms that the DPM thinks and practices very much differently than the PM Najib in 1Malaysia concept of transforming the government into treating all Malaysian fairly. No wonder there are many around Najib spoke and acted in contrast to the vision laid down by Najib.

And is Najib the only person working hard to promote 1Malaysia campaign which supposedly accords equality to all Malaysians? Looks like a lone ranger.

'How can I say I'm Malaysian first and Malay second? All the Malays will shun me... and it's not proper,' said Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

So, in order to gain popularity from Malays, Muhyiddin walks the racial line and does not mind others shun him.

Will Najib ask Muhyiddin to resign for causing such a boo boo?

Where the cocks belong

The 2300+ MCA representatives voted in a porn star as their 'haram' president.

They also voted to reinterpret the character "C" as Cock yesterday. But, it is their democracy rights to render the MCA (claimed to represent Chinese) in shame.

Like we said, porn culture has entered politics in high profile. (Equal Rights: Vote Here for Porn)

Soon, it will move into the cabinet ministerial.

Sadly, Malaysian government becomes a government most tainted with scandals and questionable personalities.

Refer to news articles below:

TMI: Soi Lek win to trigger Cabinet changes

TMI: Soi Lek wins, Liow is MCA No 2

TMI: Dr Chua, the comeback kid

Mkini: Najib in quandary over Soi Lek's victory

Vote Here for Porn

Porn has entered politics, in high profile.

(which can be an exceptional vehicle to boost the popularity and sales of the video)

So is the Recycled Leadership which the candidate can be billed as Comeback Savior.

(or the candidate is probably thinking that since this is a Re-election, then he qualified as a Recycled Leader)

These Chinese people in MCA entered the fight for top posts in the names of party’s integrity, image, unity, justice, and the plight of those MCA claimed to represent.

However, the Chinese population at large is a pitiful lot to have all these power crazy and corrupt leaders who work as lapdogs for BN federal and state governments at their expense.

"

Since Dr Chua’s sex CD controversy cropped up in 2007, talk has been rife that it had been Ka Ting who had masterminded the entire expose, for the purpose of hampering the straight-talking politician’s advancement within the party.

…

“To be fair to him, even shortly before the Chinese New Year when he came to visit me in the hospital and spoke on party matters, he gave me his assurance that he had been hands-off in party matters or political manoeuvres.

"

So, if you happened to be a Central Representative going to vote in the poll on 28 March, you can exercise your right by voting one of the following choices in this high-level democratic re-election:

1. Vote for Porn -- (a rising porn-starlet in the industry)

2. Vote for Recycled Cowardice Leadership -- (coined as comeback savior)

3. Vote for an Illogical Lone Ranger -- (a Stubborn Anti-Social Hero)

All the best!

You are Most Desired

Errrr...

Nope! We are not talking about the most desired women here, though Jessica Alba topped the list and was voted to the title.

We are talking about stability of a country, economic growth of a country, and democracy of a country.

It is, therefore, so many people continued to support and vote in the incumbent government, again and again.

Many of them, think that by doing so, they help ensuring the equilibrium of stability and economy of the country not be disturbed. And they think the only stability is key to prosper.

Many of them were tricked to believe what they see on the surface.

Many of them were conned on what they hear from the medias.

Unfortunately, they helped flourish the ideas of those cronies and fascists...

So, what have you decided to do, within your rights, to help restore justice and democracy?

"

The previous Information Minister, Zainuddin Maidin (Zam), told Al Jazeera back in November 2007 that Malaysia is a democratic country because we have elections once every five years. Hitler won the elections as well and became Nazi Germany’s leader. Saddam became Iraq’s leader when he too won the elections. Does this make Nazi Germany and Iraq democratic countries?

...

In Malaysia, the political arena is not a level playing field. The media is controlled. You need a licence to start a newspaper, magazine or radio/TV station. And if you ‘violate’ the terms of your licence then you lose it. And so-called ‘violations’ are not clear. There is no hard and fast guideline. It is within the powers of the Minister to decide what constitutes a violation. And if the Minister, and only the Minister, is of the opinion that you have violated the terms of your licence then he can cancel it.

...

So they do not give space or airtime to the opposition for fear of incurring the wrath of the government. And whatever publicity the mainstream print and electronic media gives the opposition it is always in a negative light. Only bad news about the opposition is featured. The mainstream media never says nice things about the opposition. If they do, they will lose their licence.

...

In a true democracy, the TV stations would give equal airtime to the opposition. This does not happen in Malaysia. In Indonesia, surprisingly, it does. Therefore, in spite of elections being held once every five years, Malaysia has a long way to go in achieving the status of a proper democracy.

In the Name of Religion

If you are with an opposite-sex partner, whether you two are legally married or not, you should refrain from staying in any hotel and chalet in the state of Terrengganu in Malaysia. (except that if you are rich enough to put up in a 5-star)

You may not be allowed to dress properly before these fanatics break into your room. In fact, in many of the happenings, they like to see your naked bodies, particularly if you are females. They are no saints but only in the name of carrying out their "sacred" responsibilities.

You will be treated as criminals and taken into custody before your are given opportunity to prove yourselves.

So, think twice before you brave the risk!

Excerpt from news article:

"Guests at the Penarik Inn here were flabbergasted by the actions of a group of men said to be from the state Religious Affairs Department (JHEAT) who conducted a raid yesterday morning.

Guests claimed they were rudely awakened at 2.25am by loud, incessant banging on their chalet doors.

...

Haniffah was outraged when she saw one of the men peeping through a window about 20 minutes later."

Zahrain names 8 Barisan MPs he claims were set to cross over

By LOH FOON FONG

KUALA LUMPUR: Bayan Baru MP Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohd Hashim named eight Barisan Nasional MPs and an unnamed deputy Speaker whom he alleged the Pakatan Rakyat leadership claimed would cross over to Pakatan during the attempted Sept 16, 2008 government take-over.

He alleged in the Dewan Rakyat that the MPs from Kalabakan (Datuk Abdul Ghapur Sallehs), Kimanis (Datuk Anifah Aman), Kinabatangan (Datuk Bung Moktar Radin), Tawau (Dr Chua Soon Bui), Sepanggar (Eric Majimbun), Batu Pahat (Datuk Dr Puad Zakarshi), Jerantut (Datuk Seri Tengku Azlan Ibni Sultan Abu Bakar) and Gua Musang (Tengku Razaleigh) were set to cross over.

He told the House that he was disappointed with the Opposition, which had become engulfed with greed and self-interest, and had lost confidence in PKR after the attempted take over.

When Deputy Speaker Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar asked who the Deputy Speaker was, Zahrain said, “You know, I know-lah.”

Zahrain, who quit PKR and was speaking as an Independent MP in Parliament Thursday, said that PKR Deputy President Senator Dr Syed Husin Ali had slandered him three days ago by saying that the process of cleansing had already been completed and that PKR was cleansed and rid of “grime and shit”.

“I would like to emphasise that God had done the cleansing process in PKR. We who are clean were removed from PKR and what was left was grime and shit,” he said when debating the motion of thanks on the Royal Address.

He advised Syed Husin to read the book Shit by literature Professor Emeritus Datuk Shanon Ahmad.

“Today, in this august House, I would like to expose the shit so that people know and will not continue to be hoodwinked with PKR’s play of politics,” he said.

N. Gobalakrishnan (PKR - Padang Serai) hit out at him by calling him the biggest hypocrite.

“I am willing befriend people who fight me but I won’t befriend people who betray the trust given to them,” he said.

Wan Junaidi reminded MPs not to use the word ‘kamu’ (you) and ‘pengkhianat’ (betrayer).

Tian Chua (PKR Batu) then took out a letter, apparently written by Zahrain to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, that he said debunked Zahrain’s purported loss of confidence in PKR after Sept 16, 2008.

Zahrain immediately protested that it was not relevant.

“If it was true that on Sept 16 he (Zahrain) had lost confidence, why did he, in a letter on June 8, 2009, write suggesting that the Pakatan council in Penang should meet once a month so that top leaders could discuss and interact better with each other.

“He had also said: I also suggest that you chair the meeting in Penang,” said Tian Chua.

Tian Chua went on to read: “On the confirmation of the title Datuk Seri, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the TYT (Tuan Yang Terutama) Governor for recommending me to receive it with your kind support.

“However, I understand from the meeting that TYT also proposed your goodself for the award of Datuk Seri of which you declined to accept and the TYT then suggested that the award be given to your father Lim Kit Siang who had contributed much to the nation.

“As a matter of respect to TYT, I will only accept the award of Datuk Seri in conjunction with your father’s acceptance of the same.

“I want to make it clear that I want to work closely with you and maintain a relationship that is both sincere and fraternal in nature.

“I also look forward to a good working relationship between you and the representatives of the state government,” Tian Chua finished reading.

“This shows that you agreed to receive the title,” he told Zahrain.

Zahrain said it was not for him to ask for the title.

Zahrain also said he supported the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin’s speech that voiced disappointment with the slanderous tone of the new media, including media portals.

He urged the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to investigate MalaysiaKini and Raja Petra’s news portal Malaysia Today which, he claimed, worked hand in hand with the Opposition.

Almost an hour in his speech, Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud (PAS Kota Raja) and Dr Lo Lo Mohamed Ghazali (PAS Titiwangsa) protested that Zahrain had wasted time in the Dewan by repeating what he had said on Wednesday and the Dewan was being misused for political purposes.
