Gerrymandering the Democracy
Parliamentary democracy in Malaysia has been continuously undermined through gerrymandering (manipulation of electoral composition) and malapportionment (manipulation of electoral size). A clear example of malapportionment is how in the March 2008 elections, Putrajaya, with a population of about 5,000, sent one MP to Parliament while my constituency, Seputeh, which has over 76,000 voters, also had only one seat in Parliament.
If you consider the March 2008 elections, Barisan Nasional (BN) obtained barely half of the popular vote — about 51% of the 7.9 million votes cast and yet they controlled 63% of the seats at stake in Parliament, i.e. 140 out of 222 seats. If you exclude the voters in Sabah and Sarawak, where BN won all but two seats, their popular vote dips to 49.8% in Peninsula Malaysia. (Source:http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=10778)
That was what Fahmi explained -- the reason why Selangor was split into two with the creation of the Federal Territory and the reason why Shah Alam was created as the new State Capital cum Malay city.
“It worked for awhile as long as the Malays vote Umno and the non-Malays vote opposition. But when the Malays also vote opposition then this strategy no longer works. So we need to think of a new strategy.”
The ‘new’ strategy Umno is talking about is not actually new but is an ongoing strategy. This strategy is called gerrymandering and it was invented by the Americans."

Naked Truth is Oily

Slang Dictionary
naked truth
n.
the complete, unembellished truth. : Sorry to put it to you like this, but it's the naked truth.

Idioms & Phrases
naked truth
Plain unadorned facts, without concealment or embellishment. For example, What I've told you is the naked truth. This expression supposedly alludes to a fable in which Truth and Falsehood went bathing, Falsehood then dressed in Truth's clothes, and Truth, refusing to take another's clothes, went naked. [Late 1500s]
The truth is oily:-
Truth is the facts. Once established, it will be there forever - like oil being spread, it's hard to clean and cover up. Through time, truth will surfaced and back to haunt those conspired.
The truth is painful:-
Upon truth being revealed, it caused pain to and hurts many. What about pain? Those who covered up the truth fear it. Those who twisted the facts worry about it. Those who cheated shun it. And those who were betrayed are certainly longing for it while enduring the inflicted pain.
“Can the sons of the second and third Prime Ministers of Malaysia explain why they have turned their backs on their father’s joint legacy of 5 per cent oil royalty to the states and instead embraced the fourth Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir’s distortion and violation of the petroleum agreements with the various states?
Lim said that Umno’s gag order is aimed at silencing Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah as the veteran Umno man has openly clashed with his party over this issue.
“It is no more a question of who and what is historically right or wrong but who has the present power to impose his views on the country at the moment, right or wrong.
Lim also criticized those who have attacked Tengku Razaleigh.
“Those who are baying for Razaleigh’s blood, like Umno Supreme Council member Dr. Mohd Puad Zarkashi demanding for action to be taken against the Gua Musang Member of Parliament for speaking out on the Kelantan oil royalty issue, have personal political axes to grind.
"Development funds for the states are strictly controlled by Putrajaya, and the PAS government which has ruled Kelantan for more than 20 years claims BN is stifling its economy to squeeze the Islamist party out of the state."

Police - UMNO Spies
UPDATED
By Clara ChooiIPOH, Jan 17 – A man, believed to be a police special branch officer, was “detained” by DAP's security personnel when he was caught red-handed recording the proceedings of the party's national convention at the Syuen Hotel here today.
According to party insiders, the man had sneaked into the control room for the ballroom where the function is being held and had managed to record at least eight sound clips of the entire convention's proceedings since 10am this morning.
DAP Chenderiang branch chairman Leong Soon Fatt, who is a part of the DAP's security team for the convention, said that at about 4pm, he saw someone observing the proceedings from the window of the control room.
“I was inside the ballroom at the time. When I looked up at the window of the control room, I saw someone watching the proceedings.
“That was when a group of us from the security team decided to go up to confront the man,” he told a press conference here after the convention.
Leong said that when the security team reached the scene, the man, known only as Lau, had left the control room to hide himself in another room adjacent to it.
“But in his hurry, he had left his recording device in the control room. It was still taping the proceedings,” he said.
Since the other room was locked, Leong said he sought the assistance of a hotel staff to open the door.
“The man was hiding behind the door. When we confronted him, he at first refused to admit that he was a police officer,” he said.
One of the members of the security team recognised the man as one of the police officers who had participated in the series of arrests made during the controversial May 7 state assembly sitting last year.
“He then admitted that he was a police officer and told us that he was just acting under the orders of his superiors.
“We then confiscated his recording device and let him go,” said Leong.
Despite having been found out, the man was still seen loitering around the hotel to observe the tail end of the convention's proceedings.
Perak DAP chairman Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham lambasted the police for their act of intruding on the people’s privacy.
“It is not about whether or not we were discussing secrets during our convention but about the fact that the police have absolutely no respect at all for the privacy of others.
“Under the law, a person who enters the convention or meeting of a private organisation is clearly committing trespass,” he said.
He added that the police were so inefficient in combating crime but were instead very good at intruding on the private functions of others.
“It is not just about the privacy of the DAP but this could happen to others, too. You could be recorded while you are sleeping or doing other things.
“In fact I believe that many of our phones are also tapped. Malaysians should condemn this sort of behaviour from the police,” he said.
Ngeh added that a police report would also be lodged on the matter.

Students brainwashed by BTN of PM
Young Pakatan lawmakers slam BTN ‘brainwashing’
By Neville Spykerman
SHAH ALAM, Nov 18 — A group of young Pakatan Pakyat (PR) elected representatives urged the Selangor government today to stop allowing students to be sent for what they called “brainwashing propaganda” programmes conducted by Biro Tata Negara (BTN) under the Prime Minister’s Department.
According to the group of seven PR lawmakers, BTN courses — compulsory for local university students and civil servants — taught students to hate and was contrary to its original purpose as well as the Constitution.
Speaking from his own experience as a student made to attend BTN, Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said they were taught that PKR members were Jewish agents, that DAP was a Singaporean Party, while PAS was labelled a deviant movement.
“There is no room for debate, and there were Chinese students in attendance during one of the programmes and I can only imagine the fear they would have felt,” said the Seri Setia assemblyman.
Teratai lawmaker Jenice Lee questioned why BTN programmes are being held in secrecy and called for the “brainwashing” to stop.
“If they have nothing to hide they should open up the programmes so the public can see for themselves.”
PKR’s Amirudin Shari said they were aware that BTN courses taught those who attended that PR were enemies of the state or foreign agents.
“From the feedback we received from those who attended BTN, a big part of the programme has nothing to do with nation building or education but is an Umno and BN race-based programme,” said the Batu Caves lawmaker.
“Participants are indoctrinated with propaganda about ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ and outside threats. There is no room to challenge what’s being said.”
He said they will urge the state government to stop sending students from Selangor-owned institutions of higher learning, including Universiti Industri Selangor (Unisel), Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Selangor and Inpens Selangor, from attending BTN.

A different set of rules, indeed
Read the article by Tengku Razaleigh:
a different set of rules
I don’t know En. Rohaizat. He may be a fine upstanding citizen. However, his public record of dishonesty would long ago have disqualified him from being a candidate for public office in any normal political party.
Is Umno so short of people that we have to find a lawyer disbarred for financial dishonesty to stand? Has financial misconduct become so common among us that we no longer see it as a factor in a candidate’s suitability? The party leaders who select and screen candidates must have known of this impediment but considered financial misconduct a trivial matter.
Honesty is a minimal condition for public office. Whatever the other virtues of the candidate, he should not be considered if he fails this test. The candidates we field for election must have a clean record because we are asking the public to place their confidence in him as their leader, and democratic government breaks down without public confidence. We are also saying this candidate represents us. I’m sad to have to say such obvious things.
By fielding a disbarred lawyer, today’s Umno is projecting the image that it lives by a different moral code from the rest of Malaysia. One set of rules for Umno, and another for everyone else. Either that, or this is the best we can do.

Questionable decisions from Courts & Judges
"As of today it is undisputable that Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir is a confirmed unlawful mentri besar of Perak. On the other hand Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is a confirmed lawful mentri besar of Perak. That is the gist of the high court’s decision delivered by Justice Datuk Abdul Aziz on May 11, 2009."
...
"The stay order merely bars the lawful mentri besar from carrying out his lawful duties and in turn allows the unlawful mentri besar to continue performing his unlawful duties. That is the gist of the court of appeal’s decision delivered on May 12, 2009."
...
"On the contrary there were glaring absences of reason as to why the stay order was granted to Zambry thus the court of appeal has kept the people in the dark. Justice demands a reasoned judgment from the court whenever it allows or dismisses any application made by any litigants.
In all Perak suits which have landed in the highest court so far, neither the court of appeal nor the Federal court paid attention to this vital aspect of the court’s process namely the preparation of reasoned judgments."

Perak - role model state for Malaysia
Pakatan Rakyat’s Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin is the real mentri besar of Perak , the Kuala Lumpur High Court decided May 11.
High Court had declared that YAB Dato' Seri Nizar is the legitimate Menteri Besar, and that UMNO-BN was not following constitution in its takeover; therefore Zambie's appointment was not valid. Despite of the high court decision, Zambie and gang did not give up and subsequently filed an appeal to obtain a stay on the high court order.
In the interim, since we knew that Nizar had been declared a legitimate Menteri Besar at all material time, by inferrence, it is clearly logical that Zambie was at all material time an illegitimate one. Therefore, eventhough a stay of execution was granted by Appeal Court, Zambie is by no means should be looked at as a legitimate Menteri Besar. So, what is he now? Why the clown resumes and goes back to MB office? His undertaking of MB responsibilities is clearly a comtempt to the high court judgement.
Courtesy of TheMalaysianInsider: Several policemen escort Barisan Nasional’s Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir into the Perak State Secretariat this morning. — Picture by Choo Choy MayRegardless of what UMNO-BN-Zambie is plotting, including calling an emergency sitting for no-confidence vote (to oust Nizar) to rectify their mistake back in Februry 5, continue justifying his illegally appointed Speaker as lawful (in the illegitimate May 7 sitting), all of his actions and decisions (past and present) are illegitimate. In summary what happened under him since February 5 (including his appoinment by the Sultan) was illegal.


The sequence of shameful acts where Perak State Assembly Speaker YB V Sivakumar being forcibly removed from his seat, dragged out of the assembly hall and quarantined for an hour by unidentified security force.
You can now best judge a political party and a self-proclaimed MB proclaiming that they are working for people? You can also best judge all those BN component parties that remained silent and consenting this utter disgraceful power grab by their master - UMNO, specifically MCA (with Mah Soon grabbing an EXCO position), Gerakan (with Chang appointed special advisor), and MIC (with Ganesan illegally appointed in a disgraceful and shameful bollywood comedy assembly sitting).
The illegal bunch all smiling after the installation of an illegal Speaker during the illegitimately called "May 7 assembly sitting."Fear in losing big, UMNO-BN dare not support a call to dissolve the state assemble for a state-wide election and return the choice to its people. They know very well they are wrong and people are angry with them. Thieves steal in silence, but doing it in the open nationally and internationally, UMNO-BN is best described a daylight robbers or pirates.
The Perak fiasco remains a big joke for the 1Malaysia slogan by Najib who happened to be the orchestrator of the Perak coup d'etat. UMNO's political power coup for the sake of Perak people? UMNO-BN is setting Perak as a role model state for Malaysia? For more than half a century, they have not have people and democracy in their minds.

Bits and Pieces of Perak Chaos
The "appointment" of so called new speaker Ganesan from MIC and the passing of those motions are anything but valid. The sitting had never been started and any proposal of motion had not been accepted by the rightful Speaker V Sivakumar. Remember, the police force was preventing the elected ADUNs from attending March 3 sitting, and today is applying brute force to physically remove the rightful Speaker on UMNO's instruction. The police, together with state employees and Election Committee, are bending their bipartisan role to help UMNO complete their illegal acts in taking over the state government. They are the king makers and protect only one specific group.While you may be following the shameful and disheartening event closely, you may want to revisit and refer. If you happened to have missed this latest barbaric and disgraceful episode of unconstitutional, unethical, and illegitimate power grab, these references can hopefully help you understand better how dark the country is today - 1BLACKMalaysia, indeed.
For the ardent supporters of MCA, Gerakan, and MIC, it is time to ask - why their parties can even be participating in and supporting such brutal and despicable acts?
The crisis in Perak must be resolved in a dignified and democracy method by going back to the bosses - that is the people of Perak state. So, election NOW!
As a consciencious citizen, hopefully you will recommend the readings to your friends, relatives, associates, and aquintances onshore or offshore. You can (and should) ask your folds (who traditionally support UMNO-BN) who have open minds and firm believers of true democracy to now judge the true character of UMNO-BN. Come next General Election, people of Malaysia who qualify to vote must not waste the opportunity to come together and take back the control of the country.
"Together we can bring back democracy!"
