From Permatang Pauh to Parliament

Congrats Dato' Seri. Next stop - Putrajaya. Make sure the crossovers will take place. You said the 16th. That was merely 3 weeks shy. I was hoping that it will happen. Anyway, good luck in serving us and we are hopeful that you could fulfill your promises just like what you have promised us in your series of ceramahs and PC's, not only for the folks in Permatang Pauh (PP) but the entire rakyat of the nation. Your warcry outrun (and outsmart) the BN machinery though they came with an army...

P44=PAA=Pakatan Ambil Alih

Good thing DSAI's case was bailable, even at 20K, PR had nothing to lose. This will at least allow DSAI to concentrate on his campaigns in Permatang Pauh soon. I like to analyse situations, and I have found indications that shows the crushing defeat of BN soon is VERY imminent. Why did I say so? This is because P44: Permatang Pauh itself show signs in it's parliamentary numbering. Check this out; Permatang Pauh is P44. If you 'alphabatisize' the 44, the closest match to an alphabet has...

Martial Law Awaits Malaysia

Musa Hassan did it again. Being an (him) important element in the BN machinery, he is dragging the army into his and his superior's game. The army has always stood firm but neutral in Malaysian politics as their sole loyalty is only to the King, i.e. the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. I was wondering if the Agong will have any say on this since the army is directly under his command. Pakatan Rakyat is slowly gaining momentum as case upon case has been opened and filed. The latest was Syed Hamid who...

Putrajaya Road to Perdition

Note: This post is pro-Pakatan Rakyat post. If you are a 'Fuckatan BN', go butt-off. "Shell-shocked. Jaw dropped. Eyes popped." I came back late from work, switched on my PC and 'activate' my daily digest - Youtube, and straight away, a Malaysiakini clip that I subscribed locked my attention. As I sunk deep in the press statement made by Sivarasa Rasiah, PKR 2nd in-command, I was tad confused. I thought it was someone who had been sodomised 10 years ago is filing a case against Anwar...

Goodies From Pak Lah: More Petrol Hike

It was confirmed now that the 'goodies' from Pak Lah did came in the 'form' of petrol price increase that was being announced just a minute past midnight today. What was seen as a drastic approach has caused the toll to the rakyatl. Petrol increased to RM2.70 (+78sen) from previously RM1.92, and diesel increased to RM2.59 (+RM1.00) from previously RM2.58. The ironic thing about all this is DPM Najib 'assured' Malaysians in February 2008 that there will be no increase after the general...

This was the response from the MSM obtained from the BHC. KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — The British High Commission here has agreed yesterday to withdraw an advertisement posted in the British Defence Ministry's website which portrays Malays as terrorists. Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri said the action was taken following complaints from Malaysia. "The ministry has also instructed the Malaysian High Commission in London to obtain further clarification on the matter from the...

RMC’s Disturbing Ads

Saw this on TV and as a Malaysian I really felt insulted and plonkered by British media. Though I ain't a Malay, this ad really insulted me straight to my face. What this ad trying to tell? Or what does it try to portray? All Malays (and Malaysians) are all terrorists? I believe all Malaysians regardless of race felt insulted. I think Malaysians must unite and criticise the makers of this clip telling them loud and clear, that this kind of trashy propaganda is not needed here. Lets portray...

Big Brother is Watching

They say we are democratic that gave assurance to freedom of speech. But after 50 years of independence, the agencies that was supposed to safeguard our interest as the free people has been utilized like a war-machinery, and I call it hypocracy; KUALA LUMPUR: Twenty-two websites and blogs have been investigated by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for airing false, pornographic and baseless allegations. Deputy Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk...

513

I wasn't born then but my dad was. Bidor was nothing but a small mining and agricultural town with scattered Chinese new villages, remnants of the colonial past. Township was situated at an intersection where two rivers meet and just up north of the intersection lies the main federal trunk road of Ipoh-Kuala Lumpur that divides the township into the east side and west side. The centre of township predominantly Chinese, dwelled in the west and scattered small Chinese new villages including...
