UMNO/BN again doing their power-grabbing

What happened to Sabah/Pairin when Sakaran Dandai took over the Sabah state government is happening all over again in Perak, though with less drama.

Only in Malaysia where an elected assemblyman/woman can single-handedly change thousands of voters' decision overnight.

I don't need to point out what is wrong with this system, even supporters of UMNO know this power-grab is embarassing and is the lowest form of politics but they're closing their eyes because this is, after all in the name of UMNO.

When Anwar were gloating over the possible defections of UMNO member to PKR, many things were said about frogs and some call for the anti-hop law, which the government never took seriously because they know, they can use the same tactic.

Why these PKR members defect? Well they have a corruption case pending, certainly their heads will be chopped if they're still within the opposition. They're positioning themselves within the UMNO/BN ranks so that their case will be thrown out later.

Just look at Razak Baginda.

Nuff said.

UMNO cannot think clearly

Sometimes I am lost for words when I think about the sheer stupidity and how arrogant the so-called leaders from umno. The Cheras umno now has started a fund to help Utusan Malaysia to defend itself from the defamation suit brought by Teresa Kok.

They even said this: “Teresa has challenged the honour of Malays by suing Utusan Malaysia as it is a newspaper owned by the Malays.

“Challenging the Malays is similar to challenging Umno,” he said in urging other divisions to contribute to the fund.

If there is any act of organized racism, then umno is the leader. They're defending a newspaper who is victimizing an MP.

Let me re-cap the story in case you've missed a couple of daily editions.

1. A resident group sent a memo to a mosque to not use the mosque loudspeakers during the khutbah, and not the azan call.
2. Ex-selangor MB, Khir Toyo blogged about it and said Teresa Kok was the leader of the resident group.
3. Utusan Melayu reported the blog post
4. Teresa was detained under ISA 2 days later, that is detention without trial
5. Police met with mosque officials to investigate (locked people up first then ask for evidence)
6. Teresa was released a day later (proof that she has nothing to do with the memo)
7. Teresa sues Utusan Melayu for publishing the report without due diligence
8. umno says teresa is challenging all malays (WTF??)

Do you see how the government of this country likes to potray others as racist when a CLEAR AND PROVEN RACIST, Ahmad Ismail is allowed to roam free in the country after calling the chinese "passengers" in this country?

ISA is a joke. Police is a joke. umno is a tragedy in our country. God help us all for they are running (or should I say ruining) the country.

this is why we should be an MP

Labuan MP, Yussof Mahal said he is the minister being investigated for abuse of power. he says cannot meh if he wins the tender? he put in the lowest bid mah!

sh*t. i thought MP shouldnt be involved in any big commercial business, especially in securing tenders in your own constituency?

if can ah like this, i'm gonna tell my children to be an MP when they grow up. since the government are giving so much as allowances, you can afford to go in any tender with the lowest amount. extra money mah! no need be so greedy.

Let law take its course, Labuan challenger told
Political agenda behind allegation, says Labuan MP

sad malaysia

With all the happenings in the country, I shake my head in disbelief at the so-called 'defenders of islam/malay/bumiputera'.

First, UiTM - the bumiputera or malay students held their demonstration yesterday. I hope they get a permit for that because as far as I know, it is next to impossible if you would like to show your anger when there are more than 3 of you. Oh wait, they're malays - green light. FRU - keep the firehose in the station.

What are they afraid of? Oh righttt, the chinese and indians will take the top scholarship awards for being the top of the class. we must stop the elite from coming in, because we want to compete only among our idiot selves.

Come on lah, I know what's happening in UiTM. I studied there. non-muslims are "persuaded" to join some ceramah in the mosque. want to fight it out? sure fail your subjects one. so with all these chinese and indians coming in, that means more victims, i mean, more potential new muslims. i betcha didn't think of that huh?

then the issue of Herald catholic newsletter which is only being distributed in the catholic church. for sure one they will have their license not renewed this year as they've printed political contents.

yeah, as if they're asking the congregations to vote for the opposition.

im a christian and as far as i can remember, all prayers done in the churches are that the elected reps will do their job honestly and have the public at the top of their priority. we also pray that the election will be fair. any problem with that?

oh yeahhh.. we are not capable of holding any fair election. ouch.

forum on conversion to islam. all lawyers attending the forum was called pigs in front of their faces - what kind of religion allows that? those people are bringing shame to their own religion.

the forum talks about allowing muslim converts to go back to their old religion if their spouse dies or divorces them. well they say cannot.

so it is better that these muslims eat pork and dont pray 5 times a day - as long as you're a muslim. if i see someone who is the same as religion as me not doing the religious things, i would ask that person to become a pagan so as not to bring shame to my religion.

so apparently this is not so with islam.

Government to get rid of illegals

This is certainly good news for us Sabahans but should've been done long, long time ago.

RM50m allocation to repatriate Sabah illegals

"We have to be determined about this. We cannot, after the launch of the operation, allow this problem to recur in Sabah. "We must regard this as a continuous effort to not only control it, but stop it from recurring," he said at a press conference in Parliament after chairing a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Illegal Immigrants in Sabah yesterday.

Massive swoop on illegals in Sabah next month

“This shows that the Government has the political will to resolve the issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah. We do not want this problem to recur,” said Najib after chairing a meeting on illegal immigrants with Sabah political leaders, Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar and others at Parliament yesterday.

Right, political will after the thought of losing some seats in Sabah, especially from SAPP. Anyway, hopefully they will beef up the borders so they will not enter into Sabah after 2 weeks being deported.

But how many have got their IC through the project ICs only those responsible will know. I wonder if the government wants to persecute those guilty.

Non-Malays are illegal descendants

Sometimes I wonder if our MPs are really sensitive towards their fellow Malaysians or all of them just waiting for the turn to hog the limelight.

After one MP called for the killing an indian rather than the snake, now another one comes with a super idiotic statement. Pasir Salak MP Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman labelled non-Malays in the country as immigrants in his debate in the Dewan Rakyat on the 9th Malaysia Plan mid-term review on Tuesday.

What? He thinks in Malaysia there are only 3 races is it? Malays, Chinese and Indians?

Now he says Malay are the indigenious people here? Yah right.

Just because he's from UMNO (where they don't teach the basic rule of respecting others) doesn't mean we should let it go.

The orang asli tribe should get their blowpipes and spears and chase these dreamers away from THEIR LAND. Just like what we, the Kadazans, Dusuns, Lundayeh, Melanau and the rest to chase away the illegals and power-crazy businessmen from the west malaysia in trying to take over OUR LAND!

Local authorities incompetent

If there was anything that we can learn from yesterday's petrol panic buying that caused hours of traffic jams and petrol wastage by queueing, it was the incompetency of the local authorities!

You can't blame the people, with the thought of the price of petrol going up further, everyone will slit each others' throats just to get the cheaper price.

Blame the traffic police, the radio stations and gas station owners. The SMSes started around noon and saw people lining up at the stations since 2pm, giving the authorities especially the police more than ample time to inform the motorists that those were just rumours. Instead the traffic congestion build up and hit maximum when people got off from work at 5pm.

So traffic jams were everywhere in KK that lasted only until 8pm.

What the authorities should've done.

1. Traffic police should have been stationed on every gas stations and control the traffic flow, while also disseminate the fact that the rumours were untrue. So motorists who still have fuel can turn back and go home. Did anyone see any traffic police yesterday? I for one, didn't see any on my journey, even the newspapers pictures didn't show any presence of the traffic personnel.
2. Radio stations should have broadcast this every 5 minutes, I know the local KK-based did but how many were listening to the Bajau broadcast? The announcement should've been broadcasted by all the major radio stations in the country, Hitz.fm, ERA, LightFM, MyFM and the rest. I think this is a failure to counter such a rumour.
3. Gas station owner should not take advantage of the situation, they should ask their staff to put up manilacard to inform people that those were just rumours and they are not closing for 3 days!

Of course I still blame the people who queue up eventhough they still have petrol in their tanks. Oii - if the SMS says the station will close at 4pm and you are queueing at 6pm, do you still think the SMS is true?

Imagine if there were more serious rumour? Palis-palis but what if there were rumours saying a group of Race-A are beating up Race-B people for no reason at all. They all just wait to collect the bodies?
