Petisyen mendesak PM Abdullah berundur
Laman portal pro UMNO MyKMU.net, semalam menerbitkan satu petisyen untuk meminta Presiden UMNO dan Pengerusi BN Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi untuk meletak jawatan dan berundur: global sertakan copynya …apakah relevannya

salam dari globalmalau

PETISYEN:

Keputusan Pilihan raya umum 2008 menyaksikan Barisan Nasional menerima kekalahan teruk. Tidak pernah dalam sejarah BN menerima kekalahan begitu besar iaitu hilang lima buah negeri dan hilang majoriti 2/3 di Parlimen.

Kekalahan ini sungguhpun mempunyai 1001 sebab, namun sebab-sebab utama jelas menjurus kepada kelemahan kepimpinan dan dasar Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Seperti kata Perdana Menteri Keempat Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, “Sekiranya kemenangan besar 2004 diuar-uarkan sebagai kemenangan Abdullah, maka Abdullah juga harus bertanggungjawab dalam kekalahan ini.”

Menurut kaji selidik laman web penyokong UMNO http://www.mykmu.net, antara punca utama kekalahan Barisan Nasional akibat secara langsung daripada Abdullah. 10 sebab utama ialah:

1. Kegagalan melaksanakan ekonomi secara makro bagi kesejahteraan masyarakat. Tiada hala tuju jelas ekonomi negara kecuali slogan dan Dalam tempoh empat tahun kepimpinan Abdullah telah berlaku:

a. Kenaikan harga petrol yang terlalu tinggi
b. Kenaikan tol yang sangat drastik,
c. Kenaikan kadar faedah asas (BLR),
d. kenaikan kos sara hidup – elektrik, cukai pintu dan air.
e. Kenaikan harga barang

2. Dasar Luar yang mengelirukan dan pro-Singapura seperti:

a. Mengakui Tambak Johor sebagai hak bersama Malaysia-Singapura tanpa kira sempadan, tanpa mendapat keputusan Mahkamah Antarabangsa.
b. Membatalkan pembinaan jambatan bengkok kerana ugutan Singapura
c. Masih gagal menyelesaikan isu harga air mentah ke Singapura
d. Gagal memimpin OIC

3. Promosi Islam Hadhari yang keterlaluan: a. Membimbangkan masyarakat bukan Islam.
b. Tidak diterima oleh sebahagian besar orang Islam di Malaysia kerana dianggap mengelirukan dan memberi imej tidak baik kepada Islam sebelum munculnya istilah Hadhari ini di Malaysia.

4. Pentadbiran negara yang tunggang langgang:

a. Tindakan menghantar Menteri ke negara China bagi memohon maaf atas isu ketuk ketampi bogel dalam lokap tanpa menyiasat terlebih dahulu identiti wanita terbabit.

b. membenarkan “media bashing” terhadap pasukan polis, cuba mewujudkan badan pemantau polis (IPCMC) tetapi menarik balik. Moral pasukan polis amat lemah sehingga menyebabkan Polis sudah kurang berkesan dan kadar jenayah kian bertambah tanpa penyelesaian.

c. Keputusan berubah-ubah dalam kes Jambatan Bengkok, Landasan Keretapi Berkembar, Jambatan Pulau Pinang Kedua menyebabkan negara kerugian berbilion ringgit

d. Kenyataan-kenyataan biadap dan tidak bertanggungjawab Abdullah seperti “I dont Know, i’m not involve” dalam kes ECM Libra dan memanggil pengkritik beliau sebagai Iblis.

e. Banyak menubuhkan suruhanjaya tanpa mengambil langkah sewajarnya menyebabkan suruhanjaya sendiri sudah menjadi lawak jenaka.

f. Pertelingkahan dan pertikaian antara Menteri sudah menjadi lumrah sehingga kabinet menjadi bahan jenaka masyarakat umum.

5. Pentadbiran yang kurang ajar dan biadap terhadap Perdana Menteri Keempat Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad menyebabkan ramai penyokong UMNO dan rakyat Malaysia berketurunan cina tidak berpuas hati dan melalukan undi protes.

6. Isu korupsi dan kronisme yang melampau dalam kes ECM Libra, Scomi dan Myteam menyebabkan hilang kepercayaan.

7. Memecah-belahkan UMNO

a. Membenarkan mereka yang dipersoal kesetiaan terhadap UMNO dan negara menguasai media yang UMNO mempeunyai kepentingan telah menimbulkan keadaan tidak senang dalam UMNO.

b. Menggugurkan Ketua Bahagian dalam persempadanan semula kawasan pilihan raya lalu memberi isyarat jelas Abdullah tidak menghormati hak demokrasi parti.

c. Keputusan yang berbeza dalam isu politik wang antara Ahmad Zaki Zahid (Pembantu Khas Perdana Menteri) dengan Zaid Ibrahim yang menang tanpa bertanding mencerminkan penyalahgunaan Majlis Disiplin UMNO. Ahmad Zaki hanya diberi amaran kerana terbabit politik wang dalam pertandingan Ketua Pemuda UMNO Bahagian Putrajaya. Manakala Zaid Ibrahim digantung atas dakwaan politik wang sungguhpun tidak terbabit dalam sebarang pertandingan. Zaid menang tanpa bertanding Ketua UMNO Kota Bharu.

d. Tidak mengendahkan persepsi umum bahawa Khairy Jamaluddin begitu berkuasa dalam UMNO dan kerajaan

e. Tidak mengambil sebarang tindakan ke atas penyokong-penyokongnya seperti Datuk Kamarulzaman (TV3) dan Datuk Kalimullah (NSTP) menggunakan media mereka untuk menghentam pemimpin UMNO yang dilihat boleh memberi cabaran kepada Khairy Jamaluddin.

f. Hanya menurunkan peruntukan dan projek kepada kontraktor kelas F setelah menghadapi kritikan keras Tun Dr. Mahathir dan khuatir akan berlaku kritikan keras dalam perhimpunan agung UMNO. Rasuah terangan-terangan dengan mengumumkan peruntukan RM 3 juta setiap bahagian sehingga menjejaskan imej UMNO.

g. Kempen keterlaluan untuk mengalahkan Tun Dr. Mahathir dalam pemilihan perwakilan UMNO Kubang Pasu 2006 menyebabkan ramai ahli UMNO “berjauh hati.”

h. Membiarkan Setiausaha Agung UMNO, Datuk Seri Radzi Sheikh Ahmad yang tidak dipilih secara demokrasi dalam UMNO memporak- perandakan UMNO Perlis menjelang pilihan raya umum 2008.

8. Gagal mengawal isu Hindraf sehingga menjadi begitu besar dan MIC hilang sokongan orang India.

9. Tidak mempunyai strategi yang jelas apabila menerima kekalahan dalam pilihan raya umum 2008. Kata-kata seperti itu “pilihan rakyat”, “rakyat sudah buat keputusan, kita terima” bukanlah cerminan pemimpin yang mampu bangun memimpin BN untuk menang semula.

10. Akhir sekali, wajah kepimpinan Abdullah sudah ditolak oleh kaum Cina dan India serta tidak lagi disenangi oleh sebahagian besar orang Melayu dan UMNO. Isu ini bukan isu perebutan kepimpinan atau pertukaran pemimpin, tetapi ia merupakan isu dasar dan polisi Abdullah yang ditolak rakyat.

Justeru UMNO dan Barisan Nasional memerlukan kepimpinan baru bagi memberi nafas baru menjelang pilihan raya akan datang. Lebih penting, negara Malaysia memerlukan polis dan dasar baru yang lebih segar dan berwibawa bagi menjamin kemakmuran kepada rakyat.

Sehubungan itu, kami sebagai ahli-ahli UMNO dibawah dengan ini memohon agar:

1. Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi meletak jawatan secara sukarela sebagai Perdana Menteri dan Presiden UMNO.

ATAU

2. Sekiranya, Datuk Seri Abdullah dan Ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO berpendapat Presiden parti masih mendapat sokongan ahli UMNO, maka sewajarnya, satu Perhimpunan Agung Khas UMNO dipanggil dan satu undi sulit mengenai kedudukan Presiden UMNO diadakan.

Sekian, terima kasih.

A VCD on Anwar buying off Sabahans?
Rumours abound as to whether Anwar Ibrahim has gone shopping for MPs with a budget of RM3mil each (some say it is a total of 1/2bil sing dollars – it seems the figures vary with each rumour – is UMNO so inept even in spreading rumours? At least be consistent-lah).

Even my friend the good doctor Rafick Khan related how he was disturbed because he was approached by a man claiming to be ‘working behind the scenes’ and representing several NGOs. The man told Rafick that:

“…the country is in danger of collapsing due to Anwar’s involvement with the American Democratic body which gives him money to do his political campaign here. Apparently he claims that Anwar is about to send ½ billion Sing Dollar into Sabah“. (Rights2Write)

The guy even gave him to see “some home made videos” about Anwar. Immediately, I jumped to the conclusion that it was a VCD on Anwar buying off Sabahans. So, I wrote this post, ending my title with a question mark. Am I supposed to apologise now to Anwar as I have been ‘wrong’ about it?

“…. it was a creative video. On the content whether there is any truth in it, I don’t know. I did not find any good evidence in the CD”, said Rafick, instead, adding, “there’s nothing XXX rated about it”.

Ha,ha,ha. Frankly, anything sexy or XXX-rated about Anwar is old news. Sudah basi-lah. It’s no longer the best seller as someone else has beaten him to it – former Health Minister Chua Soi Lek – did it with a bang at the beginning of the year – 2 January to be exact.

I asked Rafick what he saw in the VCD and it turns out that it was some pictures about Anwar ‘chit-chatting’ with some people, and also some press cuttings. “How to be convince? There is nothing in there,” he added.

Another good buddy of mine, my dearest Ktemoc has an entertaining post about it as well: RM 90 million leap to a dream … feast? I got his subtle meaning about frogs and things jumping about and found myself laughing over the whole thing.

It’s hard to blame anyone from even considering the rumour a little as words have been spilling all over online and offline that the Opposition is “the government in waiting“. For right after that, like a chess game, DAP comes out to declare support for Anwar if he becomes PM.

I guess it’s all about timing. Worst of all, Anwar denies it all.

He explains in Associated Press that many MPs from BN want to defect to PKR after their election debacle. He said he has been approached by many BN MPs who won in the March 8 general elections

“They are welcome to defect but no bribes will be paid to make them to cross over. We will remain consistent and committed to the code of ethics. If you want to surrender at a price you have chosen the wrong party,” he told reporters.

No money, no talk, they say. So, what’s the deal now?

Oh, such nonsense is well anticipated.

Believe me, the powers that be will do anything to discredit our political opposition parties in the next 4 years. Key figures most probably will be tailed day & night and their homes could even be bugged! One single mistake could mean the end for our oppositions.

Better be careful now everybody!

as a sabahan i’m less worried cox most likely the froggies will jump from the minority to the majority, which can’t happen now in sabah. ALL of them are in the majority side. somemore, all the froggies are now in BN.

Barisan Rakyat is very ready for all UMNO dirt. We survived all their machinations as Malaysians know the truth and this new trick will not help them. Anyway, the ones who will join PKR are from Peninsular Malaysia more than they are from Sabah and Sarawak. PKR heavyweights and PKR related corporate figures are convincing few Malays, reformists in mind to cross over. Not now but when the time is ripe. BR will create havoc and the DAP will fish for some Chinese guys while PAS will try some Malay natitionalists. This will make PKR, DAP and PAS get extra members and the game will be over. UMNO’s infighting and warlordism will heighten and BR knows what to do. About their dirty tactics, I think there is nothing new they can try on Anwar. They have exhausted everything. May be they kill him. That’s the only way out.

Kalau Pak lah tu ye juga.

Suatu masa (tahun lepas) semasa saya sedang tunggu kereta siap di cuci, ada seorang kontraktor china sempat bercerita pada saya berkenaan kisah Pak Lah dan Isterinya sekarang.

Katanya, dia ada hubungan baik dengan bekas suami (isteri pak lah) dan di beritahunya, sebagai membalas jasa baik dia mendapat satu projek nilai rm300 juta disabah dan dilantik sebagai pengerusi salah satu badan kat sabah.

Itulah balasan kerana jasanya lepaskan bekas isterinya.

Susan,

The saga of Anwar vs Mahatir and how Anwar was pinned down in 1998 can only be captured by Chinua Achebe in his book: A Man of the People which he wrote 45 years ago. The Africa icon talked about politics of demonization and character assassination in relation to nations, their colonial powers in the then emerging Africa which gained independence in the early sixties. He wrote that whenever an African leader will feel the heat of a strong leader in his government, and that he can’t remove him through popular vote or casual sacking; his only method will be to blackmail him and relate him to foreign powers and accuse him of treason. This was when Tunku was the PM by the way. The book has no relation to Malaysia but it talked about how desperate leaders will handle tough competitors.

Ironically, the book gives a fictional example og how such leaders will handle their worthy competitors. In the set up, there is a powerful PM and a powerful, popular Finance Minister. Chinua writes that the PM instructs the Finance Minister to salvage some companies as he needs to woo voters for the next elections and also as he has shares in those companies. Typically what Mahatir did to Anwar. However, the Minister declines that order saying it will harm the nation and that the economy can’t sustain such venture. The PM is enraged and he moves against his powerful and popular Finance Minister. He sacks him and his close friends on one night. The next day people come to the streets and protest saying the Finance minister was a good man. (Typically Anwar too). Knowing that he can’t convince people easily, the PM resorts to treason charges. He addresses the nation and even sheds tears in live coverage accusing his Finance Minister “of working with foreign saboteurs to destroy the nation.” The media is government controlled (typically Malaysia) and they do the spinning. Many people buy the PM’s story and even start blaming the Finance minister. The Finance Minister is jailed and his close companions create a new party. It is after a long struggle that the people come to know the truth, after the PM’s government is overthrown by the military due to excesses, cronyism and corruption. Prophetically, this happened in his own Nigeria in 1966 and the book was nicknamed: The Prophetic Book. In our context, this is what has happened in Malaysia. There is no military takeover but people’s takeover. What Mahatir did to Anwar is what Chinua Achebe explained in his time immemorial book.

The fact remains Anwar is far the most loyal son of Malaysia. Only that he is smarter than his Malay contemporaries by being a go getter politician who has extensive networks and foreign knowledge to know how to market himself and Malaysia. His competitors and UMNO warlords lack that finesse, so they resort to character assassination and base accusations. Thank God that we came along way as a nation to know much.

Ahh…Anwar, our Renaissance Man. He was well known to have extremely good relations with the Americans when he was DPM. Having said that, since when was American a four letter word? So what if an American NGO gives him campaign money? Didn’t the Bushes or Clintons accept Saudi or Taiwanese campaign contributions too? Collapse pulak. In this time n age, even the Palestine Authorities are working with the Americans on a peace deal. Maybe the Taliban lah, think American is a dirty word.

We can’t say the government party is full of dirt. Whatever chaos that is in our country is not just from the government.The opposition did it too.Malaysia is a country.And we as citizen should protect our country not deFame it. All party in Malaysia is a family. We must protect!! NOT destroy the government. If we are unsatisfied with Malaysian government, critics them in a positive way. Most opposition party cakap banyak tapi tembak tak kena,sudahla tembak tak kena,tapi tak buat.. If the opposition is so good, they should get hold of this country since 1957.

Salam Kamunting,

Biarlah saya jadi seperti anda kalian para pembaca yang budiman, untuk mendengar, membaca dan memerhati, daripada dekat atau jauh, dalam atau luar, bagaimana kawan – kawan seperjuangan, juga musuh – musuh di medan juang memutuskan lalu bertindak dan mengurus segala kekalutan yang sedang berlaku kesan daripada ‘tsunami politik’ yang mengejutkan negara dalam pilihan raya umum ke 12 baru – baru ini.

Setiap hari saya, mungkin seperti anda juga, melompat – lompat dari satu dahan ke satu dahan yang lain mencari – cari berita – berita dan ulasan – ulasan terkini dalam dunia maya internet ini melalui blog – blog yang kini sudah menjadi senjata ampuh untuk memecah tembok tebal yang dibina pemerintah bagi menghalang barisan pembangkang daripada sampai kepada rakyat.

Pertengahan 90an dahulu, sewaktu penggunaan internet mula popular di Malaysia, kami yang tengah belajar di al Azhar, Mesir turut menyertai perbahasan hangat mengenai baik buruk internet yang digambarkan dengan bermacam – macam unsur negatif yang mungkin merosakkan akhlak dan cara hidup rakyat Malaysia. Kebanyakan kami melihatnya sebagai kejayaan proses globalisasi barat yang bertujuan meruntuhkan kebangkitan dunia Islam.

Oleh kerana waktu itu negara Mesir masih jauh daripada penggunaan teknologi maklumat berbanding negara kita, kedatangan pimpinan PAS yang kerap mengunjungi para penuntut di sana telah banyak membantu meleraikan kekusutan perbahasan.

Internet adalah seperti tv. Ia baik dan ia juga buruk. Jika tidak kerajaan yang mengawalnya, anda boleh mengawalnya sendiri. Jika anda tahu menggunakannya, ia mempunyai sejuta kegunaan yang tiada diperolehi kecuali melaluinya. Begitulah lebih kurang jawaban para pimpinan PAS yang cuba menjelaskan bagaimana sikap dan pendirian parti mengenai kebebasan berinternet di Malaysia.

Saya banyak mendiam diri. Mendengar dan cuba memahami. Susah juga nak faham.

Pertama, saya masa tu baru saja pandai sentuh – sentuh komputer. Masa belajar di India, saya langsung jauh daripadanya. Saya belajar di universiti sistem pondok yang jauh sekali daripada tempias pembaharuan. Selepas reti sikit – sikit, saya dalam ceramah saya kepada mahasiswa dan mahasiswi Azhariyyin acap kali merangsang mereka untuk mahir berkomputer. Jika mahu membina jati diri seorang ustaz/ustazah, belajarlah komputer, kata saya. Akhirnya, ketika tiada lagi Azhariyyin yang buta komputer, saya masih lagi rabun komputer sampai sekarang.

Akulah guru yang membakar diri bagai lilin… he he. ( bolehlah suka – suka ya, sebab menang besarrr. Bodoh aku kalau tak borak besar – besar )

Kedua, dalam kepala saya masa itu, internet bererti wayang gambar kecil yang dibawa masuk ke rumah dengan gambar – gambar dan adegan – adegan lucah dan liar yang bersilang – silang menerjah masuk ke kepala saya. Masa tu saya tak tahu nak bezakan antara internet dan parabola. Kata orang, internet dan parabola tu adik – beradik saja. Kata orang politik sekarang, macam mertua dan menantu. Sama – sama tak boleh diharap!

Jadi, saya masa itu boleh kata samalah dengan kebanyakan ustaz – ustaz muda lain, dalam hati kata haram! Di luar kelu lidah nak kata haram.. Sebabnya, tak faham dan tak reti peranan internet.

Hari ini, tak ada lagi orang nak tanya hukum berlayar di internet. Tanya atau marah, ertinya jakunlah tu..

Tetapi Khairi Jamaludin pernah kata bloggers adalah monyet. Orang jakun biasalah bertempur dengan monyet di hutan berebut pisang. Orang tak jakun melihat bloggers sebagai pejuang kebebasan yang diimpikan manusia merdeka.

Ayahanda pula kata mana – mana yang lawan Islam dan pejuangnya ( termasuk islamic bloggers ) adalah orang utan!

Hari ini, internet menjadi pangkalan maya gerakan Islam untuk melancarkan dakwah Islamiyyah dan menangkis serangan musuhnya. Dari hari ke hari, medannya semakin luas dan tanpa sempadan.

Pilihan raya umum ke 12 2008 kali ini dilihat cukup berbeza berbanding sebelumnya. Kekalahan teruk Barisan Nasional (BN) dan kegagalan mereka di sepanjang tempoh kempen dilihat berpunca daripada senjata baru yang digunakan pembangkang. Internet dan bloggers adalah antara senjata utama mereka. Ia melumpuhkan peranan besar televisyen dan akhbar yang dikuasai pemerintah untuk memikat dan memukau rakyat.

Rakyat sudah celik. Kerajaan masih buta. Saya rabun komputer saja.

Who should succeed Pak Lah?

“Najib won by 26,000 votes and this is much more than in 2004 when the BN was very, very popular. On the other hand, Pak Lah – who had a majority of 18,000 before – only has a majority of 11,000 now. The fact is that he lost a number of votes. And there are not many people who have improved (their majority) since 2004.” (Mahathir Mohamad, 9 March 2008).

I knew I couldn’t trust the results of the elections to be due to ONLY support for the Opposition. It isn’t like that at all. From very early, especially when I saw glimpses of it in pro-Umno, pro-Mahathir bloggers (some pretending to be neutral), I knew Mahathir would have a hand, a big hand in this elections – he’ll get his supporters to throw out Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and bring in his beloved Najib Tun Razak. So, people, don’t be too happy. You did well, giving the Opposition 49 percent of the popular vote this time. But the bigger fight is still on, especially if Najib actually becomes PM. Then May the TRUTH really SAVE US all! I knew exactly what ex-PM Mahathir Mohamad will say at the aftermath of the elections:

1. He will ask badly beatened Umno President Abdullah to resign.

2. He will complain about all his projects not being carried out.

3. He will ask Najib Tun Razak to be PM.

True enough, this morning at his 11am press conference, he did exactly all the above.

He said “Najib’s resounding victory in Pekan and the performance of his homestate Pahang means that people accept the DPM”. (Rocky Bru)

EXCUSE ME, WHO SAYS THAT “THE PEOPLE” ACCEPT NAJIB?

As far as I know, only the people of Pekan accept him and that is also open to inquiry. A 26,000 majority?

Please dont shove Najib down our lives. Then really, we’ll have a 100 years of UMNO!

Rerun of 1969 -Razak/Mahathir/Ghazali staged coup against Tunku after Alliance’s heavy loss. It’s one full circle – Mahathir/Najib staging another coup against Pak Lah – this is a sinister plot of getting rid of Pak Lah with Najib ala UMNO style and a reasserting of Mahathir’s influence. We don’t need Mahathir to teach us how to discern — Najib will be a nightmare!

Be afraid…be very afraid. A NATIONAL ALERT may be necessary.

Mahathir wants to put a proxy in place… to take this country back to the Dark Ages of his tyranny. That must NOT be allowed to happen. If anything, Mahathir and his ilk must be forced into permanent retirement …out of sight and out of mind.

Badawi has helped move this nation forward in his own unintended way. He must be allowed to inch us forward towards a true Malaysian Malaysia

Let Mahathir continue to dream on!

Should the East Malaysians DUMP BN and swing the 40 plus parliament votes to BA……… the BN is dead ……and Anwar Ibrahim will be the next PM.

and Mahathir’s statement that Anwar is dreaming will be wrong!

and the reason the East Malaysians are not doing that now is that they are sharpening their knives for more benefits from the Federal Government.

Our East Malaysian brothers and sisters are actually VEYY UNHAPPY with the Federal Government!

The “swing” may happen after Pairin retires as the last time he did that it was very painful for him. Most people dun think he has the courage to “swing” a second time.

I don’t see how Mahatir’s rules were any better than Pak Lah. It was equally corrupt. It was Mahatir’s mastery of racial politics, playing one race based party against each other that kept him in power for so long.

Pak Lah’s undoing is because he is not such a master in racial politics plus the people of Malaysia have also moved on from racial politics. You can only fool the people so many times .

It has been half a century since independence and it is time to really create a united Malaysia for all races!!

As a Sabahan I struggle to accept that barisan nasianl had a virtual clean sweep. Admittedly split votes and the fear factor may have come into play, but it seems far too well wrapped up. So I expect we will hear sooner or later, stories filtering out of massive cheating. In the mean time we have to live with the reality that we have virtually no voice in the state assembly. What is that going to mean for us in the next 4-5 years. Sure hope it doent mean Sabah is going to have to endure this continueing rape and abuse…..

There will always be corruption in Any Government.
To be Honest,comparing with Pak lah’s and Dr mahathir Leadership.

Dr mahathir was the Most Briliant Prime Minister of Malaysia To Exist, he Took Malaysia to be “WORLD” Class Country. Without Him, I dont think we would advance.

No matter how bad Mahathir is in his Leadership, I must admit. in the End People will Bow down to Him. His Briliant, Before Mahathir Retired he made some project to Help malaysia to live to another higher Degree of Lives.

No wonder his Mad when pak Lah’s uses all of the Goverment Money To use it in General Election, and not using it for the project.

Pak Lah’s Never Cares about peoples Live. All he cares is about the Development of Projects, Which will give profits to the Government, AKA THE RICH PEOPLE.

The Rich people will become richer, The Middle-earned People will either Fall easily or Rise, And the Poor People will Suffer Badly.

You see nowdays, Cancers, Poor people will go to Paper press,hoping for Donation/Aid. But Goverment never helps them.

So I know you Chinese/Indians are Mad At pak lah. But This is Malaysia, No Malayland.

simon Says:
March 9, 2008 at 5:27 pm
I think all of you fail to see the benefits after Pak Lah falls and Najib becomes PM.

Once Najib becomes PM …. further destruction of UMNO will be irreversible; and our East Malaysian brothers and sisters will throw their weight behind DSAI.

Hence the ascent of Najib will be to the long term benefit of DSAI. The only worry now for PKR is ….. if and only if UMNO can kick out Najib and appoint a very credible leader. This may happen if Najib falls. Since the odds of Najib falling are very low. DSAI is on the road to be the next PM…..

Hence things may not be what they seem…..PKR people should be very very very happy if Najib becomes PM in August 2008…….this path seems irreversible….and the destruction of UMNO is inevitable.

Please stop critising Najib; Najib is tainted by his own kris kissing case ….. and is hence the enemy of UMNO.

Please remember that “the enemy of my enemy is MY FRIEND”. Hence Najib is the “friend” of all the opposition parties right now.

There has to be a slight storm or rather as one of you has said “a dark ages” before the sun comes out shining. Look like we have to suffer a slight dark ages for a short while…..

Fellow Malaysians,

How is DAP not a racial party? Just by running some Indians in the elections?

How is BN a racial party? No doubt that it is a combination of many racial-Based parties – which dated back to pre-Merdeka period.. – but, a true & long understanding of camaraderie had long been established since then; & all parties within BN work TOGETHER for the harmony of Malaysia ALL THESE YEARS… FACT!

(* the whatever corruption by some people were NOT that of the BN party. & Corrupted people are found in ANY political parties IN THE WORLD. Cest la vie!)

The Perikatan (UMNO, MCA, MIC) then was accepted by moderate, cool, professional Malaysians back then where this is NOT good for the OUSTED leekuanyew. If you young Malaysians KNOW that DAP was a spin-off of leekuanyew’s party, you WILL UNDERSTAND the True moderate Malaysian’s concerns.
Remember that singapore was voted 126-0 to be Ousted Out of Malaysia (that means by ALL Malaysians regardless of race…. They OLD Folks “really know” who & WHAT that leekuanyew is.
.

OK, Back to current period.

DAP? Their mere demands of everything chinese are those that TRIGGERED the BN coalition to have go back to the “old” race-based methods & had to correct the whatever negative “vibes” the DAP had generated just to get their Chinese “votes”, in particular.

As a fair & multiracial-minded Malaysian, I blame the DAP for the Start of Using racial issues & sentiments eversince the 1986 election!!!…

… The vernacular school system was dying in the ‘70-’80s as ALL Malaysians were really like One Big Family with the children all mixed in the normal sekolah kebangsaan (national school).
YES – please do refer back to your parents & they’ll tell you that Chinese schools were really NOT a popular choice back then!

DAP had USED this as an opportunity for them to “wake” the chinese people up saying that they’ll LOSE their “chinese-ness” unless they DEMAND for the Chinese schools and…….. the rest is history!

They realized that they cannot win with just the Ultra-Chinese votes & desperately needed the Malays’ votes & had then teamed-up with PAS!

BOTTOMLINE = DAP can fool some of the people (new) nowadays, but not all of the people all of the time. The truth will prevail DAP’s 1 and only intention of everything chinese.

WE, the MAJORITY, and TRUE MALAYSIANS, WILL SOON FIND OUT & REALIZE.

GOD SAVE ALL TRUE, PEACEFUL, MALAYSIANS.

This was posted by someone, and I think it is quite important:

This is the victory of the people who made an informed decision against long-standing corruption and tyranny in this nation. We needed a figurehead like Anwar Ibrahim to unite the parties, but it was the people who made that smart choice – a quantum leap of sorts – to vote for change. The BN’s shocking defeat is a big slap on the face for Badawi and his present tenure is shaky to say the least. Unseen forces within UMNO are bound to play it out in the next few months to unseat him from the reins of power. Meanwhile Mahathir is getting vocal.

If Pak Lah resigns, Najib will step up and it will then be back to old-style cronyism and nepotism; and worse, Mahathir;s dictatorial era will be back again to haunt us.

Najib is very much worse and is a cold blooded person…Tunku Razaleigh once said Najib is neither friend of Malay, nor Chinese or Indian Not even the faraway Mongols either. Altantuuya had proven that to us in broken bits and pieces.

Remember, if Badawi is forced out, Najib will take over. This is Mahathir’s agenda, and it is the agenda of old UMNO guards who irreparably corrupted this nation in the first place. And we all know what Najib stands for…Altantuuya, multimillion (whopping $500m to be exact) defense contract fees and what not and getting away with murder for all that.

Mahathir just held a Press Conference to push his own selfish agenda (he thinks and acts like he is still the Prime Minister in charge!!), and by proxy, to pave the ground for his son Mukhriz’s ascension to power. Standing next in line to Najib. But foremost, he would want Najib to take over from Badawi. When he does, we can forget about Altantuuya and the RCI into the heinous VK Lingam tape scandal.

And it will be a return to strong-arm rule all over again for Bolehland citizens. We are not supposed to allow that to happen. That’s why we voted in the BR to change all that.

It wasn’t Mahathir who stomped the country for change. It was Anwar.

To pre empt Mahathir making a comeback the back-door way, we need to install Anwar back into Parliament. To do that Badawi must show magnanimity to his arch-foe of yore. He must befriend his old enemy to beat off a bigger threat. The tide has changed somewhat, psot-GE12, and it’s going to be tougher than it seems on the surface.

Many will see this election’s results as a vindication for the BR, but other disgruntled Umno members like hidden-agenda Mahathir, watch-and-wait Najib (and impatient Khairy) will see this as an opportunity to grab power and the booty that comes along. The next few months will see Mahathir staging a “hidden-dragon” coup to oust Badawi from the hotseat. Najib will bide his time before his next move, smiling behind our backs now like the “crouching tiger.” Just watch and see.

Pak Lah, to redeem himself from the GE12 debacle, now only needs to do two things foremost.

The first thing Abdullah Badawi needs to do is to clean up the mess of a corrupt judiciary and the sycophantic media of the old guard dating back to the 80s.

Corruption will always exist, but the judiciary and the media in any democracy acts as the first and last line of defence watchdog. Instead, we have had lapdogs barking against the voices of the people for too long. The shocking mediocrity of the mainstream media is pathetic. The corruption of the judiciary is endemic. Both already rotten to the core and beyond repair. A complete overhaul of the rot and decay is not out of place. They still have not come to grips with the new political landscape yet.

It is important that members of the old guard from Mahathir’s era are not allowed to worm back in. We should start from a clean slate. Such a move per se will checkmate any of Mahathir’s hidden agenda plans, post-GE12. It is in the national interest that Badawi do just that.

A saving grace in his swan song, unshackling the good citizens of this wretched country from the twenty-over odd years of Mahathir’s godforsaken reign where the integrity and sanctity of our institutions were ransacked, raped and plundered with impunity. R

WIN-WIN LAH B4 U GO, BADAWI!!!

REINSTATE THE RULE OF LAW (PURGE THE JUDICIARY OF DEADWOOD N DRIFTWOOD).

FREE THE PRESS N REPEAL THE ARCHAIC PRESS LAWS N ISA (FREE THE HINDRAF 5, I BEG OF U)

For me personally, I think the next GE will be tougher. You will see many erstwhile friends in cyberspace turn into enemies as they will show their true colors as members of UMNO’s Old Guard camp (aka Mahathir and Najib). That was why I thanked god that Khairy didn’t lose at Rembau. We still need him to fend off Najib internally inside UMNO.

This GE may have seen the people’s awakening with help from cyberspace, but next GE will see a full scale war in cyberspace between pro-Mahathir bloggers and anti-UMNO bloggers. So be careful everyone. The biggest battle for Malaysia’s future will happen at the next GE, whether we want to return to the dark days of Mahathir and UMNO Baru or stride forward towards a bright future of freedom. Your choice.

The truth will prevail DAP’s 1 and only intention of everything chinese.<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>

With regards to what was ‘agreed’ since ‘Merdeka’, I’ve 2 comments.

1. What exactly was agreed? The original federal constitution or the one now which has been changed by UMNO hundreds of times?

2. This is a modern world. Everybody’s had some education and have had to compete globally. There really isn’t any place for a ’special’ class of citizens and an underclass. I’m not sure what you consider as fair, but to me, there is no place in the concept of basic human rights and simple common decency for anyone to be regarded as superior or privileged simply because of the accident of birth, rather than virtue of deed.

The way forward for Malaysia is simple.

Those in need and those in distress will be aided, protected and succoured. Those who are not in need, simple fend for themselves. The colour of their skin and the religion in their hearts makes not one bit of difference. That is true unity.

If you have not yet understood that… then the new dawn aside, you and I have a problem.

As for the ‘merdeka agreement’… that is the past my friend. Just like you cannot in this day and age, morally and legally lynch a Japanese person whose grandfather chopped your father’s head off – the younger generations of Malaysia cannot be forever bound, without limit, by the unfair agreements of their forefathers which run counter to basic justice and common decency.

You teach me how do I explain to my children that they are lesser citizens compared to some of their classmates and friends, simply because they were born the wrong race? I cannot. And I will not curse my children with having to explain the same thing to my grandchildren.

In response to comments by:[Zain Says: March 9, 2008 at 5:42 pm ]

Dear Saudara Zain,
1) In this unprecedented moment of our nation’s history you seem to be content digging for “skeletons” in the proverbial closet… I think DAP has moved on… and have successfully attracted many young intellectuals that want to look beyond race based politics. I think they realise that if they are to be relevant as a political party in today’s climate – high on the agenda would be the eradication of corruption practices, better transparency in the govt, and a fairer lot for all Malaysians – not just for the chinese…

In any case, after PKR’s scathing success in PRU12, I believe the multiracial party model is here to stay. Therefore DAP will do well to take cognizance of this as they can no longer depend solely on the racial card – should they ignore this they will do so at their own peril!

2) …And since you did raise the issue on DAP being the instigator of racially motivated politics “back in the 70s and 80s”- I feel you are giving a one sided perspective to what is really a multi-dimensional issue.

Ask yourself – wasn’t the issue of vernacular schools raised against a landscape of “nationalism” in the region; namely in Indonesia? There was certainly a fear amongst the older chinese generations that this would lead to their culture being “diluted” or losing their identity… which I suppose is a natural reaction especially when a large number were 1st generation immigrants from the “homeland” (China).
While there is some merit in what you infer, I however find it hard to accept your rhetorics on “… ALL Malaysians were really like One Big FAMILY with the children all mixed in the normal sekolah kebangsaan (national school)…”. Were they really one big family?? How then could one son be given scholarship when he scored an aggregate of 30, whilst another not receive one when he scored 10 for SPM (or MCE in the 70s)?? Put yourself in his shoes… how would you feel? I did, and I didn’t like how it felt…

I think that this factor in itself is where the the fundamental flaw of the NEP lays… while it certainly did its job to improve the lot of the then largely impoverished rural malays; it has now been abused to a degree that no decent Malaysian can tolerate. (E.G: Buying a new home: I can understand the NEP benefiting “working class” malay buyers – but how do you justify it if that home was a luxury home costing millions? Doe the affluent malay need such benefits from the NEP? Wouldn’t it be better that such benefits were extended to other impoverished non-malay Malaysians?). This is but one of many other examples that I can readily think of.
So to respond to your comments that DAP is largely responsible for racial based politics – I have to differ on my opinion. What you have identified is merely the symptom – the root cause is more likely the callous way that the NEP has been managed by the ruling coalition; plain and simple.

I’m trying to steer clear of accusing any one party for a “hidden racial agenda” – I guess the message today is that the Rakyat will no longer tolerate poor governance. So Saudara Zain, if DAP so much as plays the racial card again, rest assured a the Rakyat will rise again. But for now the Rakyat has voiced its intent – please move on as well – the racial card should not have a prominent place in Malaysian society anymore. The Hawks and Doves will always exist, but it is up to responsible Malaysian like you and me to ensure that we continue to voice our concerns as one common “Rakyat” – Power to the plebians!!!

I remain, a true, peaceful Malaysian.

Full human rights for everyone in Malaysia…thats the aim.

Some shiver at this thought. Some oppose awarding full human rights to certain races in Malaysia. Some people shiver at the implications for Malaysia.

Thats why the BN gomen has never signed any UN or international human rights treaties. What they dun realise is that once human rights is not awarded to everyone, there is a social and economic penalty.

People in Malaysia has not been allowed to achieve their full creative potential.

And that is very sad. very sad indeed.

This again reminds me of Sudirman…. many years my senior in Universiti Malaya. I was not there at that time but the incident was still very fresh when I was there and the story was much talked about. What happened was that there was one day Sudirman got onto a stage inside UM and scolded his teacher/lecturer sitting in front of him in the front row. He said that singing was what he really wanted to do and he never wanted to become a lawyer or rather a Bumiputra lawyer. Now scolding your teacher is a very great sin….at least in those days. (now students beat their teachers..thats a subchapter)

Why was he pressured to become a lawyer?

Who pressured him?

Why did he feel that he has to oblige?

Why is there a blind need to create ratios and quotas just to make sure that there are Bumiputra lawyers? This are the questions we need to ask.

Why was he not left alone so as to achieve his full potential and not waste his best years wasting away in UM?

Who says that lawyers are better than singers… a think tank? a foundation?

Who determines the fate of a race?

Can an individual determine his own fate?

Of course those heady days are over and …. or are they? If indeed then that those days are over then…. why did the gomen NOT sign any Human Rights Treaties and award full human rights to all Malaysians?

Then I realised its not orang Melayu yang nak Gaduh: Its UMNO! UMNO tak tahan malu kalau kalah. Even now, I am afraid, there are forces working to stir trouble, and its from UMNO!

Meanwhile for the Melayu, winning or losing is part of life, no problems – “menang kalah adat pertandingan”. You ask any Melayu, and he/she will say:

“Menang jadi arang, kalah jadi abu”

So if anything happens, look towards UMNO and please don’t blame the Melayu you meet on the streets!

Hmm Mahathir has been in power since Tunku Abdul Rahman’s time and is still in power now. During the Tunku’s time, Mahathir orchestrated the movement to push him out of power and four prime ministers and decades later, Mahathir is still in power trying to push Paklah out. The only PM he didn’t manage to push out was Tun Razak, who beat him to it by passing away before he could make any move. Then of course Tun Hussein got pushed out by Mahathir as well. Mahathir pushed himself out in 2003. He really outdid himself.

This also see a stepping stone to a more mature Malaysia and as a develop nation there is no such emphasis in race, religion or differences so a nation can work as one can as this will be the only way to advance. Look at the election we can change a government if we work as a rakyat. Well lets hope we are moving to another level as a nation.

And pls stop all this bickering of politics as we are not politicians who cares as soon as they don’t perform well just vote them out of office as simple as that so go Barisan Rakyat…power to the ppl.

DAP and PKR are no fools. They will not give away a state for nothing. With their limited resources their plan is as follows:-

DAP will concentrate on Penang
PKR will concentrate on Selangor

PAS can take Perak.

If you study Management Theory, you will know that you need to focus and concentrate your resources. The Rakyat is ONLY giving them this ONE chance to perform and if they screw this up …next election will be payback time.

As somebody has already said and everybody knows DAP and PKR are stuffed with professionals and graduates and as such they know what they are doing….

Once they succeed then more people will join the parties and they can handle more states.

sm,

in terms of economic activity i.e. state GDP, Kedah and Perak combined is just a fraction of Penang today. Though Perak is expected to grow in the future.

On this basis, IMHO PAS is not getting a good deal.

Also DAP felt that they have a higher chance of retaining Penang come next election if they dun screw up thats why they can pass Selangor to PKR

and PKR is more than happy as 60% of economic activity in Malaysia is in Selangor though of course that percentage is expected to fall.

you’re not really a Malaysian at heart & just don’t give a damn to even try to understand & think unselfishly about the locals.

haha, spot on seantang… bollocks indeed! As sm also mentioned, DAP will have a heck of a time explaining to their voters who gave unstinting support in perak!
As a neutral observer – I’d summise that its poor strategy to give up the high ground… especially when the terms of reference amongst the BR parties are not even clear on this particular matter…
sorry simon, a bit of naivete going on there…

the situation in perak now is the people especially malays are still in big suprise for the change of the state goverment and many malays mp will in opposition seat in the state assambely. i think PKR and pas shoud win more seats if the people already know that they will have new goverment formation. PKR and pas also lost in certain seat that they had won in 1999.

Sigh… I have to ask… what locals? And by extension, who are you implying as being ‘not local’ then?

Adats etc aside, this is a democracy, is it not?

Your arguments are beginning to stink of more and more ketuanan as you dig deeper and deeper into this pit you’ve dug for yourself.

Goodnight Malaysians. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The answer is very simply this – the DAP has an alliance with PKR. So if you ( a malay) want to vote for the opposition – you vote for PKR lah.
In the past DAP rocket brand is not very useful in Malay population areas & few MALAYS want to join DAP (for fear of being labelled `traitors`) although there were several notable exceptions in past elections.

Actually I adnire DAP’s decision.

Penang is not all rosy after 18 years of Gerakan otherwise there would be no need to give RM1 Billion and get back RM350 Million.

As I stated earlier DAP is in no position to manage Perak.

Even PKR may have felt that they have a handful with Selangor already.

I disagree with you Jaafar,,,, you are thinking of POLITICS only. We are talking state management of resources.

Whether the Rakyat eats grass or not will depend on how the state is managed by the political party.

ahmad,

Yeah, like everyone is so perfect!..

C’est la vie – there’s no politician or government in the world that is perfect. We need someone who’re supported by the majorities & could bring the country up in many aspects (economics, harmony, peace, spiritual, etc.).

Life in more than just mere politics!

Whoever can bring Malaysia good, & ALSO in the face of the world, respect & confidence in all aspects (including south-south, oic, islamic & non-islamic countries), like our Dr. M, that’s GREAT!

You can bicker & talk/write bad about him BUT, Like it or not, leaders worldwide acknowledged him as a True World Leader.

Hope Malaysians will really Wake up & think positive of other people, & not keep on bickering like Anwar Ibrahim always wanting revenge or whathaveyous on Dr. M.

Just grow up, be objective & think of the Country, for once.

Life is more than mere politics!! Ciao.

simon says “in terms of economic activity i.e. state GDP, Kedah and Perak combined is just a fraction of Penang today. Though Perak is expected to grow in the future.”

…I somewhat agree with simon’s take on economic indicators for perak – due to its geopraphical location (i.e. smack between Pen and sgor) I believe it has always been the govt’s intention to bring dev Perak by feeding off the industrial/ techno hubs of Penang and S’gor – though I think there’s little to show for it…so maybe this could be an opportunity for the BR to earn some feathers in their cap…. However to achieve this BR needs to be able to collaborate closely!!! Awal2 sudah in-fighting, susah lah…

HAHA i think kelam kabut chaos reigns now in Perak because they never envisaged they will win this big let alone forming state government.

Maybe they have to draw lots. or flip a coin.

DAP – focus Penang
PKR – Perak / Selangor
PAS – kelantan & new franchise in Kedah. Put some resource into Terengganu & Perlis.

Johor – wtf happen there eh? even with the chua soi lek saga – nothing moved. Not in urban areas like segamat/kluang/muar/tampoi/JB/mersing
wtf wtf wtf. surprise Johor Kia Sway Siaou bor lam par to stomach winds of change.

Furthermore PAS has got off to a flying start.

Either increase revenue or cut costs.

Being realists PAS has already announced the first cost cutting measure ahem ahem ahem. but I think it will be well received by the Perak’s beloved Sultan as evident by the recent Royal wedding. ahem ahem ahem.

kc Says:

I’m chinese but i can see why MB of Perak has to be Malay.
First of all Perak population majority is Malay.
Although DAP won more seats they know most Malay of Perak will not be able to accept a chinese MB.
So the best thing is to pick a PAS or PKR man as MB.
This is a compromise between all three parties.
Lest they want the malays to vote for BN the next election.
They are thinking of the future.
Although we have been independent for 50 years,its still to hard for many Malaysian to accept a leader without looking at his race.
Look at America, Obama is the first black with a chance at the presidency, a scenario which is unthinkable even 30 – 40 years ago although America is independent for hundreds of years.
I truly hope one day we will come to this stage but for now I understand its not possible yet.The wind of change does not happen over night.
It takes so many years of sacrifice,understanding and education for America to progress to this stage. We too are on this journey and it may take many generations for this to happen.
So for now we compromise for the interest of stability of Perak and the Barisan Rakyat.

I think you’ve got it wrong. DAP did field Malay candidates in the election. Maybe you were too emo by your chauvinism to think otherwise. Now why don’t we see that happening in UMNO? Please get your facts right, bro.

To Spirit_61,

You will need to understand the Johor and Pahang Chinese well and the Chinese Clan system and the history of the Chinese in Pahang and Johor

The Johor and Pahang Chinese will only move if MCA is really really really stupid. So far MCA while not that smart is not that stupid either.

As such let me tell you and assure you that Pahang and Johor Chinese is not expected to move even for the next few elections. You can forget about it. We can bet 10 sen on it.

I hope/wish someday Malaysians can look at a leader for what he/she is and stands for, and not worry about race and religion.

I believe the results of the March 8 elections have helped to start to move the country in such a direction, but it will be a long journey.

Whether DAP/ PKR / PAS can carve out workable solution in Perak will have a big bearing on this….both Perak voters and the rest of the country will be watching.

finally, some words of sound reason… good on you mate!…
To be a bit ideological … I think the whole idea is finding a fine balance – democracy is a process of evolution; you can’t change things overnight. If BR get it right then there should be place for all idealogies to exist within its eco system. The fact that there’ll be conflicts and debates is expected… that’s proof that democracy is alive. So I guess the really BIG question is – are WE, the Rakyat matured enough as a society to understand the underlying issues and dealing with it?

BTW, hate to rasie this… but I get the feeling that some contributors (chinese/ malay pun sama saje) in this blog ARE downright racial… too much “kutuk mengutuk” going on lah… this, being a predominantly chinese site, I’ll tell you what’ll happen – malay contributors will get fedup with the “stick” they’re getting and move onto friendly sites (who knows maybe with a PAS moderator) – naturally they’ll then pour out their frustration on this”chinese” site… blah, blah, blah and you find yourselves in this vicious cycle of racism over and over again!! if you guys really want a change in Malaysia then this ain’t the way to move fwd dude… challenge the idea, not the person!

I got this bit from DSAI on Malaysiakini “Forming a state government is not a small matter”

hence I think the current arrangement looks good with DAP in Penang.

PKR looking into the premier state of Selangor with Khalid in charge looks promising.

PAS will be good for Kedah and Perak as they are very good in cost cutting as that is what is needed in this 2 states now. With the Malaysian and Global economy being forecast to be bad for the next 18 months PAS will do wonders in this 2 Malay heartland states.

Again everytime there is a recession Taiping goes into a massive decline and PAS can handle this very well. I am sure DAP is very aware of PAS’s abilities in this area.

That makes AAB a gentleman in this case, at least for the time being.

Let’s no forget BN is still ruling and we all know who will be at the helm if AAB steps down. For one who treats Mongolian so bad I really can’t imagine what is going to happen to our country.

May be it’s time for the leaders of the opposition coalition, despite busying forming their new state governments, to take a break to analyze/forecast the coming storm in UMNO and may be they can do something to influence the outcome of the storm.

Yes, Susan, I am with you on this totally, including those who are seeing comparisons to what happened in 1969 that had paved the way to the kind of race-based politics until the new dawn that began just now. Indeed, bloggers should be vigilant on this from now on…it is the next major stage of the struggle… Lots of Mahathir cronies and sycophants are coming out now to manipulate and take advantage of BN’s lost, attributing it solely to Abdullah Badawi’s failure as a leader and denying yet again the true voice of the people saying they were fed up with BN race-based politics, not just Abdullab Badawi. And these cronies and sycophants include bloggers, some of whom are clearly itching to get back on the Mahathir gravy train that was derailed in the last four years under Abdullah Badawi. While we now want the opposition elected to office to do the right thing and work to keep the promises they made to the public in the run up to the election that just concluded, we should also be vigilant to make sure that the poisonous kind of Mahathir politics should never be allowed to pollute the malaysian landscape again. What happened yesterday is a first major step towards getting rid of all that Mahathir crap. But we should not rest our laurel. And bloggers should now take up this next round of challenge… onward with the struggle…

Actually some of your enemies want the NEP to be extended for ten thousand years or more maybe a million years.

Quite a lot of people conclude that the ONLY reason the Chinese in Malaysia can be so successful is that they are spurred to compete and to compete and to compete and to compete… ad infinitum.

This same people who are your enemies want to prevent the Malays from ever having the chance to compete at all…….

Hence Malays WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE… this are your enemies talking.

and hence the Chinese are slowly being refined to become better and better and has become globally capable. A Chinese who can survive in Malaysia can survive in any part of the World.

Currently we are your ONLY friends. You may not realise it until it is too late for you.

Please don’t look at the race and colour of the MB.
The MB does not function fully as the state government.
He has the state exco committee which is like the federal cabinet.
So whether its in kedah,penang,perak or selangor,
the parties in the coalition will be represented in the exco committee
so the notion of power being monopolised by the MB’s party is false.
The MB is like the captain of a football team and remember there are 10 other players in the team.
So now regardless of who is the captain, we have to see whether this team can play as a team and whether they can stand against the opposing team (state opposition and federal gov.)

my two cents worth…
I think that whether directly or indirectly Pak lah has made a choice of screwing the people in the face to wake us all up.

We must remember that this is the man who wanted to jump ship in 1986 to the ” Spirit of 46″ but decided last minute not to. He is best described as a man who believes in the principles of the party and not the man at the helm.

Being a malaysian of chinese origins, I too sympathize with him. He may be deemed useless by most of us or to put it more diplomatically “less effective” but personally…. if the status quo remains, he will go down in history as the man who opened up the political lanscape of our country.

Why can’t we as Malaysians look beyond what has been god given since the day we were born? We cannot choose what race or religion we want to be… we come into this world without any choice and by the time we can decide we have already had more than 10 years of hard core phycological bombartment on our core beliefs.

So start taking all this results in good stide. Maybe we as Malaysians can rise to the occasion and be matured not only in age but politically as well… for now all I can say is…

its less than 48hrs after the GE and already, the stripes are showing. how about not taking sides? at this stage, bloggers are becoming increasingly important as watchdogs to keep the government accountable ( be it BR or BN ). our job is far from done– this is fresh start is our chance to establish a civil society that is colour-blind, just and fair. best way forward for the cyber community is to remain non-partisan, continue our work in opening more cans of worms, getting the real news out and serve our society that way.

i’m from perak and honestly, i don’t mind a member of PAS as the MB. all i really care is whether this coalition can run smoothly and prosper the state. if it fails, then we know BR is just a poor counterfeit of BN.

also, say if PAS isn’t successful in ensuring the welfare of perakians of all races, then DAP which won most of the seat would likely be in the forefront next GE for a larger haul although that ultimately depends on how they manage penang as well. can it attract non-malay votes? DAP can watch and learn from PAS as it enters unchartered waters. its all too early to speculate how BR will hold their fort but we should keep our fingers crossed and hope for the very best.

as for AAB, for our sake, he can still turn things around and undo some of the damage he wreaked and restore some of our confidence in him before he retires gracefully/get booted out.

as for Dr M, with all respect, i think he should stick to bread-making and call it a day. give us a chance to determine our own future!

Mahathir may or may not realise that it all started when he went against Tunku Abdul Rahman (who was until then by his own admission “the happiest Prime Minister in the world”). This was the real start of money politics in UMNO – and not very long after the implementation of the NEP, the first victim of UMNO’s greed was the very bank set up to “help” Bumiputras, Bank Bumiputra.

Mahathir and his UMNO (& MCA & MIC) cronies who got rich from all the money which they siphoned out of the system through sheer abuse of the NEP – and which was partly used to place him in power to take over as PM and keep him there for 23 years, as well as the BN in power for so long under UMNO – is largely to blame for all these abuses.

Abdullah and Najib have followed that lead and as inheritors of that systemic abuse are also responsible as serial abusers themselves.

It really does not matter whether Abdullah stays on or is replaced by Najib. If they have not learned their lesson and continue to abuse their positions, that will certainly be the death knell of UMNO and the BN with it.

If UMNO and the BN and their leadership and members do not undertake the necessary self-reforms at the Federal level, they can expect to be overthrown in the next general elections.

If Sabah and Sarawak desert the BN, which they should, the people will not have to wait for the next general elections for at least some hope of reform to begin.

Jenn makes the most sense.

We should take example from commercial world where the CEO is changed by the owners to suit the prevailing economic conditions.

In boom time a CEO good in marketing is hired and in doom times a CEO who is good in cost cutting is hired.

Today Perak needs a cost cutter as economy is forecast to be bad and the very best in Malaysia is still PAS and no one doubts this.

On the issue of a PAS fler being the MB of Perak despite DAP’s dominance, I don’t think i’ts gonna be a problem if he is not too much of religious fanatic. I haven’t done much reseach on this candidate but I certainly hope that he is nominated & eventually selected based on merits & attributes. My friends & me, like many flers, spent time & money to travel a long way back to Ipoh to vote. We really hope it’s going to be wothwhile.
